"Mr. Ouyang!" As soon as Ouyang Tianfeng entered the door of the rooftop apartment, Li Shun shouted in a fuss, "Mr. Ouyang! It's amazing! What's wrong with the Municipal Council, Mr. Wu has become an official!" "Probably what the letter of appointment is?" Ouyang Tianfeng's heart moved, but he still asked calmly: "What kind of official is he filling, do you know?" "There are too many officials! What 'knock when you see' committee members!" "Architecture, isn't it?" "That's right! That's right! Drink! Mr. Wu jumped up and down with joy, and Mr. Zhao laughed so hard that he smashed the lampshade in the house! After a while of music, they hired a big car and went out the front door to eat." Li Shun pointed and said: "Look, sir, Mr. Wu became an official, and even I, Li Shun, was so happy that I didn't talk about it. Originally, without the yin function of my ancestors—"

"Where did they go to eat?" Ouyang Tianfeng rushed to ask. "Up—what upstairs! Look—" "Zhimei Building?" "Yes! Zhimei Building!" Ouyang Tianfeng rolled his eyes a few times, smiled to himself, didn't go into the house, and went out of the door again.After leaving the apartment, I hired a car to go to Zhimei Building. "Aha! Old Wu—Master Wu!" Ouyang Tianfeng jumped into the private seat to bow to Wu Duan: "Great joy! Great joy!" Wu Duan was drinking like crazy with Zhao Ziyue, when he suddenly saw Ouyang Tianfeng barging in, Wu Duan wanted not to welcome him, but then changed his mind, stood up and bowed to him to sit down.Zhao Ziyue was wholeheartedly afraid that Wu Duan would ignore Ouyang Tianfeng, so he hurriedly greeted Ouyang; but Ouyang didn't even look at Zhao Ziyue, and handed the whole pink face to Wu Duan.

"Master Wu, what I told you a few days ago, did it come true? Hey! Wearing a cotton shirt and a big bamboo pipe, you must be an official!" Ouyang Tianfeng said as he picked himself up from the coffee table He took a spoonful of glutinous rice on the table and started to eat and drink. Wu Duan originally wanted to give Ouyang Tianfeng a cold shoulder, but he thought about it carefully: since he is an official, he shouldn't offend more people, and he knows who he will be using at that moment.Besides, I have already achieved my wish, so why bother fighting with Ouyang.So let go of the past, talking and laughing without showing any trace.

Ouyang Tianfeng was talking and joking with Wu Duan, not only ignoring Zhao Ziyue, but sometimes confronting him with big eyes. Zhao Ziyue's anger did not come from one place, and suddenly he slapped the chopsticks on the table, stood up and picked them up. The big shirt and hat went out. "What's the matter? Old Zhao!" Wu Duan asked. "I went back to the apartment, and suddenly felt uncomfortable!" Zhao Ziyue said and walked downstairs. Wu Duan stood up and wanted to go out to pull Zhao Ziyue.Ouyang Tianfeng patted Wu Duan's shoulder lightly, and gave Wu Duan another look. Wu Duan sat down inexplicably again. "What's the matter with Lao Zhao? Ouyang!" Wu Duan asked.

"Don't worry about him, I have a way to deal with him!" Ouyang Tianfeng said with a smile: "I'm asking you, Lao Wu, an important matter! Are you going to marry Ms. Wei? Now that you are an official, of course you should get married !" "Ms. Wei and I have nothing to do with each other, but we just need to know each other." Wu Duan smacked his words, with a rather bureaucratic taste: "Besides, I don't entrust her with my errands! It doesn't matter!" "So, what do you think of Ms. Wang?" Ouyang Tianfeng asked earnestly. "Didn't you introduce her to Lao Zhao?" Wu Duan said with a smile on his face.

"He said he changed his mind again and didn't want to marry again. So I'm here to ask you, I've long wanted to do this, and you don't want me to see you as an official to curry favor with you!" Ouyang Tianfeng poured himself another glass of wine : "To be honest, Ms. Wang's appearance and attitude are really not bad!" "But, I don't want to get married now, so I'll talk about the official affairs first!" Wu Duan said with a smile. If this matter was left before the letter of appointment was issued, Wu Duan would report to Zhao Ziyue immediately.However, now that I am an official, I have to be magnanimous in my heart.A few days ago, he wholeheartedly wanted to know the secrets between Ouyang Tianfeng and Ms. Wang, and even quarreled with Ouyang; now, even if Ouyang wanted to tell him, he would not listen; Political secrets, there is still time to listen to the affairs of male and female students.Wu Duan recognized two paths: when he was a student, he was speaking out loud, and the more he spoke, the more capable he was; strengths.

"So you have no intention of getting married?" Ouyang Tianfeng nailed it. "No!" "That's right!" Ouyang Tianfeng rolled his eyes again: "Is it an important thing to be an official! I said, you should also exercise for Lao Zhao?" "It's in progress, whether it will be successful or not is uncertain!" "I hope that both of you will shake up, I, Ouyang, will have something to eat!" "Of course!" "Old Wu! Are you going back to the apartment?" "No! I still have to visit some colleagues, and I still have a treat tonight!" "Then, let's see you at the apartment tonight! Thank you, Lao Wu!" Ouyang Tianfeng bid farewell to Wu Duan and hurried back to the apartment.

"Old Zhao! Old Zhao!" "Who is it?" Zhao Ziyue asked intentionally. "Me?" Ouyang Tianfeng opened the door and went in. "Ouyang Tianfeng! Do you still care about us who are not officials?" Zhao Ziyue was sitting on a chair, but instead lay on the bed. "Old Zhao! Don't act like this!" Ouyang Tianfeng said with a straight face, "All my actions are for your own good!" "Ignore me, freeze me, is it for my own good? Hee hee!" "That's right! Don't you understand that the old Wu and I were in love a few days ago? Now that he has become an official, needless to say, you have to ask him to promote you. But if he thinks: we are good friends, he Because I hate me, maybe I put you on the back of my neck! I put my face down to see him, not for me, I will never ask him, for you! For you! After you leave, look at what I entrusted to him, Entrusted to you! Are you a true friend, shameless? You can do it even if you kill yourself! Your surname Zhao understands this?"

"Yes! You can speak! The small mouth is like a little clapper!" Zhao Ziyue sat up and laughed. "Why would you say that? I really want to see it! Let me ask you, how did Lao Wu give you exercise?" "He said that there was only a vacancy for a clerk in the clerical department. I told him that there was no need to give me an activity, and that our old Zhao would not be a clerk for twenty yuan even if he was poor!" "What? You rejected him? You're fine! Zhao, you won't be considered an official in this life!" Ouyang Tianfeng was really anxious, shaking his head and sighing. "If you don't want to be an official, then don't do it. Anyway, you shouldn't be a small recorder!" Zhao Ziyue said firmly and proudly.

"For example, if you go to be a secretary for me, give me 20 yuan, will you go?" "I will give you 20 yuan, so you don't have to be a secretary! Besides, I can find you a secretary, If you have an addiction to being a recorder!" "I also have to be able to write, isn't this a joke! Well, Lao Zhao, I admire your lofty ambitions! Got it! Open this article, it's time to talk about something new: the day after tomorrow, Saturday, three o'clock in the afternoon Zhong went to Qingyun Tea House to meet her!..." The domestic products sold in the Qingyun Pavilion shopping mall, apart from the tin-wrapped bamboo knives and guns, and bloodshot grimaces, are the purest "sitting and playing two pipes" in teahouses.This kind of pastime, non-authentic Chinese will never appreciate the taste of it.The so-called authentic Chinese are: first, they must have a stomach that can hold three pots of Longjing tea and ten dishes of five-spice melon seeds; second, they must have a pair of eardrums made of iron.With these two items, I can lie down on the reclining chair, the big gong is beating "Siqitou" under my ears, and the suona wolf howling is blowing "quick wind".

Some foreigners talk nonsense, calling all dirty smells "Chinese taste" and all messy and unclean foods "Chinese offal".In fact, this group of foreigners had to carefully examine the Chinese body structure, and they had to laugh to themselves and admire the Chinese body structure as the most evolved and perfect in the world.Because Chinese people have iron noses, so they can't smell the smell naturally; Chinese people have copper stomachs, not to mention dry croquettes, old preserved eggs that have been buried for more than 120 years, even sliced ​​meat fried with stones can also enter the stomach Just melt.Similarly, in order for foreigners to understand Chinese music and singing, it is best to put them in the tea house of Qingyun Pavilion; if their lives are not to die, they can at least develop a pair of iron ears.After they have iron ears, I can guarantee that they will no longer say that the big gongs and drums are barbaric music, but hate that their previous ears were not right. Ouyang Tianfeng and Zhao Ziyue arrived at Qingyun Pavilion, found an elegant seat, and waited for Ms. Wang. The "Seated and Playing Erhuang" has already started, and the Dangdangdang beating is so orderly that the brain hurts.The gongs and drums played three links, and the opening scene was "The Grand Master Returns to the Dynasty".The grand master's voice: thick and straight like a cow, wide and broken like a pig.Amidst the howling of bulls and pigs, there were several dry and crisp sounds, like dogs.The beauty of this group of cows, pigs and dogs hooked Zhao Ziyue's addiction to drama.Shaking his head while eating melon seeds, he hummed: "Grand Master, turn back..." "I said, is she allowed to come?" Zhao Ziyue finished singing "Return to the Dynasty" and asked, "Did you deceive me last time at the Women's Rights Conference!" "Come on!" Ouyang Tianfeng's face was unnatural, although he was still smiling. The two of them were eating melon seeds and drinking tea, and they waited for more than half an hour. Zhao Ziyue was a little anxious, and Ouyang Tianfeng was even more anxious, but he couldn't help comforting Zhao Ziyue. Three dishes of melon seeds have been eaten, but Ms. Wang still "doesn't come", Zhao Ziyue scratched his ears and cheeks anxiously, and Ouyang Tianfeng's face flushed again and again. When the little white curtain moved, the two of them stood up with a "sudden", and sat down again with a "sudden".It turned out that it was a servant in his forties who came in, wearing a blue cloth shirt, and holding a letter in his well-behaved hand. "Is the surname Zhao? Sir!" "me!" "There is a letter, Ms. Wang sent me to give it to sir!" The man said, handing the letter to Zhao Zi with both hands, and said, "Do you have any reply, sir?" Ouyang Tianfeng didn't wait for Zhao Ziyue to speak, and said to the man with a smile: "Sit down, drink a bowl of tea before leaving!" "Hey! Not thirsty." "Sit down!" Ouyang Tianfeng poured a bowl of tea for that person very kindly. "Are you coming from the Peking University dormitory? Did Mr. Li send you here?" The man looked at Ouyang Tianfeng, but said nothing. "Say it! It doesn't matter!" Ouyang Tianfeng still smiled and said, "We are good friends with Mr. Li!" "Hey! Mr. Li told me not to tell me. Since Mr. Li is his good friend, why should I hide it? Yes, Mr. Li asked me to come!" "Okay! Old Zhao! Give him some money and ask him to go back! Go back and tell Mr. Li that the letter has been delivered, so don't mention what I asked you!" Zhao Zi said that he gave the servant four cents, and the servant gave them a deep bow and walked out slowly. Zhao Ziyue opened the letter, Ouyang Tianfeng still smiled and came over to read: "Mr. Ziyue: You and I have never hated each other, so why push me too far!You trust Ouyang Tianfeng, is he a good person?I can't see you, and you don't have the right to force me!If you think about it carefully, maybe you will understand your mistake.If you don't think about it and just listen to Ouyang's mercy, you know: you and I only have one life! Wang Lingshi. " Zhao Zi said nothing, but Ouyang Tianfeng still smiled dryly, but his face was pale! Zhao Ziyue waited until he watched Ouyang Tianfeng take off his clothes and go to sleep before he went back to his room.He sat alone for a long time, hoping that Wu Duan would come back and talk for a while, but the clock struck twelve, but Wu Duan hadn't come back yet.He went to bed dejectedly.Having already taken off his clothes, his heart suddenly moved, and he put on his big shirt again and went to the south room to have a look.I went to the steps of the south room and put my ear against the window to listen, but there was no sound.He gently opened the door and turned on the electric light. His heart was half cold; there was no Ouyang Tianfeng on the bed, but the coat and hat were still hanging on the wall.He ran to the toilet to look in three steps and two steps, no!Zhao Ziyue was really in a hurry, ran back to Ouyang Tianfeng's house, sat on the bed and put together the facts before and after, thinking: "What does he have to do with her? Why didn't I ask him before!" , slapped, slapped himself twice in the mouth. "Lao Li, Lao Wuquan warned me. Yes, and Lao Mo. How can I be so careless, I don't believe their words!" Slapped, slapped, and slapped two more mouths, but not as crisp and bright as the first time. "Ah!" He jumped up. "When I think of Lao Mo, I think of her address. That's right!" He didn't bother to turn off the light, and he didn't care to put on his underwear, he just buttoned up his coat; up run.When he ran to the street, he called for a foreign car. Fortunately, the weather was hot, and the driver was late to collect the car. He hired a car and went to Zhangjia Hutong. Yue felt in the middle of Zhang's alley, and he told the coachman to stop.He got out of the car and touched it with his hand, it was broken, he only touched his slippery thigh, no money with him.If you ask the coachman to wait here and walk slowly to Ms. Wang's door, the coachman must be worried.He asked the driver to take him to Ms. Wang's door, but he forgot her house number, so he asked the driver to take him back to the apartment. What did he do here?In this anxiety, a layer of sticky sweat broke out on his body. "I said the cart!" He wandered around for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I forgot to bring money! You wait here, I have something to do on the east side, and you will pull me back to the rooftop apartment behind the Gulou Tower. Give you some more money, okay?" "What apartment?" "Rooftop!" "Are you Mr. Zhao? It's dark and I can't see clearly, sir!" said the cart driver. "My surname is Zhao! Are you Chun Er?" Zhao Zi said as if trapped in a heavy siege and got a rescue soldier. "Okay, Chun Er, you wait here for me!" "That's right, sir!" Zhao Ziyue left Chun Er in the middle of the alley, and he walked east by himself. He only remembered that Mo Danian said that there was a small tree in Ms. Wang's courtyard, but he forgot the house number.So he looked for the little tree in the dark with his eyes hard.It's broken again. There are several houses with small trees in the gate of Lubeilunan. Do you know which one is the little tree Mo Danian mentioned?Patiently, he slowly wiped the bottom of the wall, and walked along the door to look at the name plate on the door; several houses near the street lights could be seen in shadows; Boom can't see anything.He crawled around like a little mouse, and the night wind blew through the hallway from the coat, and he felt the skin on his body was a little tight. He stood there, in a dilemma, trying to think; the darkness in his mind seemed to match the darkness of the sky. The darkness is all in one piece, and there is no idea at all.Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his calf, and he cleverly pulled his legs and walked west. It turned out that the big mosquitoes would bite people's bare legs no matter what urgent matters they had. "Chun Er!" he called in a low voice. "Hey! Mr. Zhao! Where are you getting in the car?" Zhao Ziyue got into the car and wrapped his legs tightly with a big shirt.Chun Er pulled up the car and trotted four or six steps. "I said, sir, are you still coming out in the middle of the night?" Chun Er asked. "Humph!" "Sir, do you think we're good at drawing? It's only been more than a week! For business, ha, let me tell you--oh, so, ha, no money! There is no way, ha, pull! Cough! Ha! It's a dead end!" Chun Er said while panting.This kind of move is called "Shuoshan" in the foreign car industry.If you meet a talkative driver in a car, the driver can ask and answer with him and run slower, and because of the touch of words, when you get to the place, you can hope to earn an extra copper or two.But nine times out of ten times this kind of hope cannot be realized, so they call this "Shuo Shan", which means: the hearts of people who ride in the car are as hard as the rocks on the mountain.On the third day of pulling the cart in Chun Er, he met a soldier, and he told the soldier that he was in tears.When they arrived in Haidian, the soldier was moved by Chun Er, so he only rewarded Chun Er and three belts, and didn't fight much. Zhao Ziyue was full of impatience, at first he hummed Zhi Yingchun'er, ha'er, and then he was so happy that he didn't hum, hah.But Chun Er continued to speak persistently, and the more he talked, the slower he walked. When they arrived at the rooftop apartment, Zhao Ziyue jumped out of the car and told Chun Er to come get the money tomorrow.Chun Er pulled the car away and babbled to himself while walking: "Mr. Ganqing is not wearing pants, I only noticed it under the electric light, but it's really cool..." Zhao Ziyue entered the gate and looked towards the south room. The lights in the room were still on.He opened the door and looked: Ouyang Tianfeng was sitting on a chair in a daze in a small gown.There was a gleaming little bayonet on the table.When he saw Zhao Ziyue coming in, he was startled, and put the bayonet in the drawer.His eyes were fixed in a trance, and his teeth were gritted. "Let me tell you, what's the matter with you?" Zhao Ziyue collected himself and asked. Ouyang Tianfeng wiped his face with his sleeve, followed by a sneer, without answering. "Speak! Talk!" Zhao Ziyue went over and shook Ouyang Tianfeng's shoulders vigorously a few times. "Nothing to say!" Ouyang Tianfeng stood up, lying on the bed with his shoes on. "Hey! You're driving me crazy! Talk!" "I'm telling you, I have nothing to say! She's gone! She's gone! If you think I'm a human being, Ziyue, go to sleep and don't ask any more questions!"
