See you in the world

Chapter 322 Friends from the South
A few miles away from the county seat, there is a large lake with many small islands scattered in it.

But in winter, everything is withered, there is really nothing to see, and there are many less sights to watch.

Withered lotus leaves and stalks can be seen faintly in the lake. If it is in midsummer, you can enjoy the beautiful moonlight of the lotus pond.

There are painted boats and flower boats on the lake, and there are also fishermen and fishing boats passing through it.

The rich chanted poems, made fun and laughed happily on the painted boats, while the poor sweated profusely from fishing...

Some people live to enjoy, while some people live just to live.

On a small cruise ship with a length of about 30 meters, there are beauties playing and singing on the piano with slender hands, and the voice is ethereal and melodious.

There are two floors of attics on the ship. In the upper hall, four young people are drinking and chatting by the window. They are all more than 20 years old.

During the chat, a young man in blue asked a man in white out of curiosity, "Brother Zhou, why did Yaxing invite me to come to visit the mountains and rivers today?"

The man in white who was being asked was Zhou Yu who Yunjing wanted to visit.

He stood facing the window in white clothes, with starry eyes and sword eyebrows, and a tall and straight body, like a standing spear.

The weather was cold in winter, and the cold wind blowing from the window shook his clothes. He didn't seem to feel the chill in winter, but there was some sadness between his brows.

Zhou Yu turned around, looked at a few friends, forced a smile, and said slightly melancholy: "Masters, you and I are already at this age in a blink of an eye, time flies so fast, especially remember when we met in the past, we also I was just ignorant of young children, but now the original ignorance is far away, and we have gradually started a family and started a business."

A thin man in a blue shirt beside him said in surprise: "Brother Zhou, you can play as soon as you come out to play, why do you feel so much emotion?"

"Yeah, Brother Zhou, something is wrong with you today," said the last person. This person is tall and burly, dressed in black and short-sleeved. kind of.

Shaking his head, Zhou Yu looked at the bleak scenery outside the window again and said, "Everyone, my appointment has been made."

As soon as he said this, the other people were obviously a little unexpected. They looked at each other and gradually put away their smiles.

The atmosphere was slightly oppressive and silent.

"Why, we've been friends for many years, aren't you happy to hear that I've been appointed?" Zhou Yu turned around and said.

The burly young man immediately clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "I'm happy, how can I be unhappy, congratulations Brother Zhou"

"Congratulations, Brother Zhou, this is so good that the clouds will open and the moon will shine. After so long, it finally came to fruition," the young man in Tsing Yi said with a smile.

The young man in blue shirt asked with a smile, "Where will Brother Zhou go to study next?"

They all congratulated and laughed heartily, but neither of them had much excitement in their eyes.

It's not that they are plastic buddies, it's mainly because they have been friends for many years. With Zhou Yu's appointment, they will be parting, and after this parting, it will be years before they see each other again.

In the current era, it is difficult to communicate with vehicles and horses, and it is very likely that we will never see each other again after we separate...

Zhou Yu said happily: "You should know where I am going, Yangfeng County, I will be the county magistrate."

Hearing what he said, several of Zhou Yu's friends silenced their voices again, and the smiles on their faces gradually faded away, with worried eyes flickering in their eyes.

As far as they know, Yangfeng County is not a good place. It is close to the border, and the total population under its rule is only more than [-]. The place is bitterly cold, and it will be swept away by war at any time...

The burly young man in black frowned slightly and said, "Brother Zhou, is there no room for maneuver? Why don't you think of a way to transfer to another place? Yangfeng County is not a good place to go."

He put it tactfully, but actually going to Yangfeng County would be better than staying at home.

Zhou Yu shook his head and said: "The appointment has already been issued, how can it be changed at will, and...forget it, and what do you mean, all of you are frowning, I am the county lord now, is it not worth being happy? "

"Yes, yes, brother Zhou is now Lord Zhou, and it is worth celebrating."

"Come, come, drink and drink, I wish Brother Zhou a bright future..."

A few people stopped talking about bad things, and the atmosphere was a little more cheerful.

They knew about Zhou Yu's situation. He came from a poor family. Well, he was actually a small landlord. He was intelligent since he was a child. Until the day when Zhou Yugong becomes famous.

Because the family situation is not very good, and there are not many contacts, Zhou Yu has worked hard to fulfill the position during this period.

Now the result came down, but it was not very good, and he didn't have much time and money to re-establish the position.

I'm going to work in a war-torn place like Yangfeng County. Although the honor of a county is beautiful, but that kind of place has to go to the front line to defend against the enemy at any time. The battlefield is chaotic, so don't pay attention...

That's why when Yunjing went to his house, Zhou Yu's wife had a sad brow, really worried about Zhou Yu's future.

Zhou Yu could feel that several of his friends were worrying about him, and he didn't want to bring this feeling to the few times he got along, so he changed the subject and said with a smile: "By the way, everyone, a friend will come later."

"Who is it?" the blue shirt youth asked curiously.

The few of them have a good relationship, like a small independent circle, Zhou Yu actually brought people outside the circle?And it was during the rare time when he was parting.

Zhou Yu said, "This person's name is Yun Jing, and I don't actually know him..."

"Brother Zhou, wait a minute, I'm a little confused, you said that a friend named Yun Jing is coming, but you don't know him?" The burly young man in black was a little confused.

What rhythm is this?
"Listen to me, it's like this. That friend named Yun Jing came all the way from the south. I haven't seen him before. He came to my house to deliver a greeting card and wanted to visit me. He lived thousands of miles away. I have come all the way, and I have no reason to turn a blind eye, right? So I just invited him here," Zhou Yu explained.

Hearing what he said, several people immediately felt relieved.

Among them, the young man in Tsing Yi said with a smile: "Haha, Brother Zhou is indeed a great talent. This reputation has spread to the south, and there are still people who come to visit him specially because of his reputation. I am really happy to congratulate you."

"That's right, I'm so sour, and I'm also a student, so why doesn't anyone come to visit me from far away?" the burly young man in black said sourly.

As a scholar, when someone travels thousands of miles to visit, it can be said to be a great affirmation for a scholar, a reputation that money can't buy.

While talking, Zhou Yu looked at the lake in the distance and said, "That Mr. Yun is here!"

He saw a small boat coming this way. On the boat stood a bookboy whom he specially sent to invite people, and beside the bookboy stood a young man in white clothes, so he was sure that it was Yunjing.

The others curiously followed the direction Zhou Yu pointed, wanting to see what kind of person this friend from the south was.

After a glance, several people looked at each other subconsciously, with different expressions.

Zhou Yu calmly waited for Yunjing to come to board the ship with a smile on his face, the young man in black looked depressed, the young man in blue grinned, and the young man in blue looked depressed.

Seeing his companion's strange expression, Zhou Yu asked in astonishment, "Are you...?"

"Hiss...", the blue shirt youth grinned and inhaled.

The burly young man in black muttered, "Brother Zhou, can I avoid it for a while?"

"Ahem, what, this Mr. Yun from the south doesn't look very old, and... and his appearance, if he comes on a boat, we can't beat it together." The young man in Tsing Yi With a wry smile.

Rolling his eyes, Zhou Yu said, "You guys are superficial, how can people only look at appearances, that Mr. Yun's looks... Forget it, let's not talk about that, and I don't know how knowledgeable the other party is."

"That's right, everyone, don't be so superficial, so as not to make Mr. Yun from the south laugh at you, but judging by his clothes, he seems to be just a scholar. If you want to talk about learning, it's really hard to say," the blue-shirted youth laughed.

Zhou Yu retorted: "I don't agree with that. This person looks only fifteen or sixteen years old. He already has a reputation as a scholar, and he came here all the way from the south by himself. You still think that the other party has no skills. Not to mention anything else, this road is full of mountains and rivers, and safety is a big problem, everyone, let's put ourselves in the shoes and think about it, if we go to the south for thousands of miles, can we guarantee that we will arrive safely along the way?"

"This……"

"People can't be seen!"

After a little thought, several people agreed with Zhou Yu's statement.

Yes, what's wrong with people being young, young people are worse than others?

"Okay everyone, we're about to board the boat, get ready to greet us, don't lose your manners, or you'll lose face to the south," Zhou Yu reminded.

Yun Jing took a carriage from the county town to the lake, and then transferred to a small boat to the cruise ship where Zhou Yu and the others were.

"It seems that there are still a lot of serious scholars in the world. That cruise ship is not a flower boat, and Zhou Yu invited me here to visit a brothel." Yunjing couldn't help muttering as he approached the cruise ship.

In view of the fact that Zhou Yu and the others were not looking for fun, Yun Jing looked forward to meeting Zhou Yu.

"Master Yun, please, my young master has been waiting for a long time." The young man who led the way made a gesture of invitation after Yunjing boarded the cruise ship.

At this time, Yunjing looked up and saw Zhou Yu and others on the second floor looking at him, because he didn't know which one was Zhou Yu, so he just smiled and saluted, which was regarded as a greeting.

When going upstairs, Yun Jing also took a little look at the cruise ship.

Although this is not a flower boat, there are also various entertainment items, but they are all serious items, such as singing, dancing, listening to music and books. This ship is just a mobile leisure place.

Soon after arriving at the place where Zhou Yu and the others were, Yun Jing looked up, and there were only six people in the room.

Apart from Zhou Yu and the others, there is also a veiled woman quietly playing the piano in the corner, and a maid who is always on hand.

Cupping his hands and saluting, Yunjing said, "I've seen all of you in Xiayunjing."
