Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Hearing this, Lou Xiaoming was so excited that he didn't speak for a long time...

After the welcome lunch, there is nothing to do this afternoon, except for a reception dinner in the evening. If you want to spend money, you have to let people rest first.

He Yuzhu had originally thought that while the gentry were resting, he would either invite Lou Xiaoming and his family to have tea, or go fishing for the afternoon.

"Hello, Comrade He Yuzhu. I am Wang Hongmin, Secretary Gu's secretary. Secretary Gu asked me to invite you over for a chat."

If others received an invitation from the provincial party committee leader, they would probably jump three feet high, but He Yuzhu's reaction was: "This Senior Brother Gu is even better at slacking off than I am. Is he that idle?"

At this moment, Gu Tao, who had drunk a little wine, was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, resting. Although he was very busy, his junior brother had come, and he had to make time to see him, otherwise it would be difficult to face his old mentor when he went to Beijing.

"Brother, your drinking ability is not good enough. You just drank a few glasses, and you are no longer good enough?"

Wang Hongmin thought: "Where did this fool come from? I didn't recognize the wrong person~"

The next second, Wang Hongmin's eyes widened.

"Zhu Zi, where did you get all these weird and perverse ideas from?"

"Brother, this is the rumor in the martial arts world~"

"Zhu Zi, then tell me what is being spread in the martial arts world?"

He Yuzhu also wanted to take the opportunity to remind his senior brother that Jiangnan is good, but the "elite" in Jiangnan is restless. If they make a wrong step, they will be doomed.

"Senior brother, then I will repeat it to you~repeat it~" So He Yuzhu "borrowed" the jingle summarized by netizens in later generations.

"Comrades who can drink 8 liang or 1 jin can be trusted; comrades who can drink 1 jin or 8 liang should be cultivated; comrades who can drink white wine or beer should be transferred; comrades who can drink beer or beverages should not be kept."

"The government pays and I eat for the sake of this unit."

"Leading cadres don't drink, so they don't have any friends; middle-level cadres don't drink, so they don't have any information; grassroots cadres don't drink, so they don't have any hope; discipline inspection cadres don't drink, so they don't have any clues."

After listening to it, Gu Tao thought about it carefully. Although the rhyme was not completely correct, it did make sense to some extent. It is true that "the masters are among the people".

Wang Hongmin also knew that anyone who could speak to his boss like this must be someone very close to him, so he tactfully made tea for the two of them and then left.

"Zhu Zi, if you want to remind me to be more cautious, just say it directly. There is no need to beat around the bush."

He Yuzhu thought to himself: "I am just running out of ideas and want to add some extra words."

"Brother, since you said that, I would like to remind you to always pay attention to the ideological trends of college students and not to cause any mass incidents."

Although there was still a long time before the riot, it was common for a person to stay in a certain position for ten or eight years in this era. After all, my senior brother was only forty-seven or forty-eight years old.

(If you don’t believe me, you can search for Wu Jinyin, the longest-serving party secretary in Henan. He is still in office.)

Gu Tao also knew that his junior fellow apprentice was always very accurate in judging people and things. A good memory is not as good as a good pen. Secretary Gu was also afraid that he would forget, so he quickly picked up his notebook and wrote it down.

"Zhu Zi, is the old man in good health~"

"Brother, the old man is in good health and enjoys eating. He is now able to rob houses."

"Oh~ Zhuzi, then you have to tell me the story in detail~" Secretary Gu sobered up instantly, and his passion for gossip was burning fiercely.

So He Yuzhu told Secretary Gu about how Mr. Qin robbed him. He Yuzhu also had his own little thoughts and concealed some key information.

After hearing this, Secretary Gu fell into deep self-blame, thinking that he was an incompetent disciple. Didn’t he see that his “old teacher” was short of tea and had started to snatch his disciples’ tea?

"Zhu Zi, when you go back, I will prepare some of the best West Lake Longjing tea for you. You can take it back for the old man to drink~"

He Yuzhu thought to himself: "How did my senior brother get fooled by the boss? I haven't even shed a tear yet, but he's already taken the bait???"

"Okay, Senior Brother, then you have to prepare more. If you want something else in the capital, I can help the old man, but this capital doesn't produce tea, so I can't do anything about it."

Secretary Gu nodded and said that he would contact his fellow apprentices working in Yunmin, Anhui and other provinces to send some good tea to the old man regularly.

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up when he heard this. In order not to add more "trouble" to the old man, He Yuzhu decided to "run errands for the old man and charge him a little errand fee. This is not too much."

"Brother, you must tell Brother Sun and Brother Wu to send the tea to me first. I'm afraid that if we send it directly to Peking University, the old man won't be able to control it."

Gu Tao had more or less realized what was going on at this point. This junior fellow really didn't treat him as an outsider, but he quite liked this kind of "little trick" played by his own people. He just regarded it as a little "compensation" for the junior fellow taking care of the master.

"Okay, Zhuzi, I'll leave your address when I notify them."

After finishing the serious business, He Yuzhu chatted with Gu Tao for a while. Knowing that Gu Tao was pressed for time and had to play tricks with the Hong Kong tycoons in the evening, He Yuzhu said goodbye at the right time.

After returning to his bedroom, He Yuzhu heard another knock on the door before he had time to lie down.

When I opened the door, I saw that it was Huo Changqing.

"Zhu Zi, you are such an unfriendly person. I have come to look for you several times, but you are not here."

He Yuzhu also hurried to apologize.

"Brother Qing, to be honest, the person who will take over your position today, Secretary Gu, is my senior. He just pulled me over to reminisce about the past."

When Huo Changqing heard that Zhuzi didn't treat him as an outsider, he realized that if he didn't tell him about such a secret relationship, how would he know about it? So he started to like his friend He Yuzhu even more from the bottom of his heart.

"Zhu Zi, since you treat me as your cousin, I have to treat you as my cousin too. I just asked my old man and he said that he really wants to visit the capital, but he can't influence what other people think."

"Thank you, cousin. The old man alone is enough. Of course, as Han Xin said, the more soldiers the better."

The two who hadn't seen each other for many years seemed to have found some fun. They kept calling each other "cousin" all afternoon, which made Lou Xiaoming, who came later, confused. The two didn't explain either, which was very mean.

The three of them seemed to have endless things to say, until the staff came over to remind them that the dinner was about to begin and invited all the distinguished guests to come in. Only then did the three of them walk towards the banquet hall together with a sense of unfulfilled desire.
