Qing Chongshu was five years older than Song Gensheng, but he was quite in awe of this young man who got into a carriage at such a young age.

From the day he met Song Gensheng, Qing Chongshu felt that Song Gensheng was extraordinary. His youthful and mature face always had a friendly smile, and his smile was very sunny. His slightly grinned mouth showed exactly eight teeth. It was a very standard smile that made people look at it at first sight.

I couldn't help but feel good about him.

After getting along for a long time, Qing Chongshu gradually realized that this friend was not as kind and friendly as he seemed on the surface. He vaguely felt that Song Gensheng's heart was actually very cold, like a desert with no grass growing on it, and the smile on his face was just a kind of function.

A tool to build good relationships with others. If you look into the deepest part of his pupils, you will find that there is actually no smile in his eyes at all, only a trace of imperceptible sarcasm.

Qing Chongshu didn't know what Song Gensheng was ridiculing. He was already very lucky when he was already in his early twenties. He was already very lucky. Many scholars in their later years would never dare to think of a position. At this age, he could easily sit in a position.

Went up.

What else could he ridicule?

Qing Chongshu didn't understand that Song Gensheng would never have a heart-to-heart relationship with him. This question had been lingering in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask because of awe.

"It's already cold in autumn, so please take care of yourself." Qing Chongshu looked at Song Gensheng and said with a smile.

Song Gensheng showed a grateful smile at the right time: "Thank you very much, brother. I'd like to thank you for staying up all night with me to deal with official duties. Go home and rest quickly. I'll come back in the afternoon to take care of business."

Qing Chongshu shook his head and said with a smile: "I'm not tired after being born late, but I need to take care of myself and put on two extra clothes. Don't let me worry about catching a cold."

Song Gensheng responded with a smile.

The two left the governor's mansion and walked side by side towards the mansion.

Qing Chongshu looked around carefully, and then said softly: "Farewell, Fang Yingzheng, the lieutenant of Jinyuan County under the jurisdiction of Shuzhou, sent five hundred taels of silver cake last night. The magistrate of Jinyuan County returned to his hometown after serving as an official. The post of county magistrate is vacant.

Fang Yingzheng is trying to get the position of county magistrate, but I wonder what Bie Jia means? Do you want to accept these silver cakes?"

Song Gensheng had no expression on his face and walked for a long time without making a sound, as if he didn't hear Qing Chongshu's words at all.

Qing Chongshu was quite familiar with Song Gensheng's character and was not in a hurry. He walked quietly with Song Gensheng. After a long time, Song Gensheng softly uttered a word from his mouth.

"receive."

Qing Chongshu responded with a smile and said: "Then I will send the box to your house in the evening."

Song Gensheng hummed, stopped mentioning the matter, and quietly stared at the road under his feet.

The two walked quietly for a while, and Qing Chongshu suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, the fellow countryman who was leaving, the Marquis Gu of Qingcheng County, fought a great victory in Anxi and commanded the Anxi army.

More than 20,000 Tibetan traitors were wiped out, and the news of success has been sent to Chang'an."

Speaking of Gu Qing, Song Gensheng's desolate eyes finally had a hint of warmth, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and that smile was the most sincere he had ever smiled in recent years.

"Gu Qing...has always been very powerful. I admire him very much." Song Gensheng said softly.

After a pause, Song Gensheng asked again: "Destroyed more than 20,000 enemies? Was Gu Qing injured?"

"In the military report that Wan Sheng heard, it seems that there is no such thing as saying that Lord Gu was injured. He should not have been injured. It is impossible for the commander-in-chief of the three armies to go to the battlefield in person..."

Song Gensheng felt relieved, and then the smile in his eyes deepened, and he murmured: "With his virtue, that's not necessarily the case..."

The voice was too low and Qing Chongshu didn't hear it.

Qing Chongshu didn't notice the smile on Song Gensheng's face that was very different from usual, and said: "Master Gu is a fellow countryman of Biejia. Now that Anxi has won a great victory, would you like Biejia to buy a big gift and send someone to protect Anxi?"

Do you want to congratulate the Marquis?"

Song Gensheng burst out laughing, as if he had heard something ridiculous: "Should I... buy him a big gift?"

Qing Chongshu said puzzledly: "Yes, shouldn't it be? Don't blame Wansheng for nagging you. You should get closer to Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu's future is limitless. If you can go further, don't drive."

My idea is to have more contact with Mr. Gu, and don’t be stingy with money. There are some things that money cannot buy..."

Song Gensheng glanced at him with a strange look: "Brother Qing, you have only been with me for a short time. You may not know many things about me. My relationship with Gu Qing... Haha, let's put it this way, he and I were just Shiqiao Villagers back then.

A penniless poor boy, I often went to his house to grab meat to eat, and he often came to my house to grab meat to eat. I was once coerced by him, and together we robbed the house of a pair of bullies in the village. As for the relationship, when would he want to beat me up?

He just beats me up, sometimes without even needing a reason. Do you understand my relationship with him?"

Qing Chongshu was stunned and even stopped in his tracks, staring blankly at Song Gensheng's back.

Beat me up if you want, what does this... mean? Is it good or bad?

Immediately, Qing Zhongshu trembled and quickly chased after him, begging: "Don't drive, don't drive, please go slowly. Please tell me more about your relationship with Lord Gu. Wansheng really doesn't understand..."

Song Gensheng's steps were invisibly brisk, not as heavy as before. As he walked, he said: "If I send a heavy gift to Anxi, Gu Qing's only reaction is to throw my gift out the door, then point at the nose of the gift giver and yell,

You finally broke up with me, don’t you understand?”

His footsteps suddenly stopped, Song Gensheng turned around and stared into Qing Chongshu's eyes, and said seriously word by word: "Gu Qing and I have a life-changing friendship, a friendship where we can die for each other without hesitation. Such a friendship, you

Want me to give him a gift? Ha!"

Qing Chongshu suddenly realized it and said happily: "It turns out that Biejia and Lord Gu are so close to each other, haha, it's a good thing, it's a good thing!"

Song Gensheng chuckled and said: "Have you always found it strange that I relied on someone's power to become a governor at such a young age? Haha, I might as well tell you frankly that I relied on Gu Qing, who wrote a book for Jian

As the envoy of the Southern Road, I became the best friend of Shuzhou."

Qing Chongshu sighed: "Wan Sheng understands that because of the fateful friendship between Biejia and Lord Gu, I really shouldn't give you gifts. That would force him to break off the relationship with you, haha."

After understanding the relationship between Song Gensheng and Gu Qing, Qing Chongshu's face became more and more radiant. He found that his life had accidentally ended up on Yangguan Avenue, and he accidentally hugged a thick thigh.

Unknowingly, he followed Song Gensheng into his home. Song Gensheng's home was located in an alley not far from the governor's office. Due to the relationship between Xianyu Zhongtong and Gu Qing, the governor Pei Di paid great attention to Song Gensheng and deliberately made friends with Song Gensheng when he first took office.

, and even sold one of his private residences to Song Gensheng for a nominal price.

The private house is not small, with a large courtyard with a backyard and a rockery pond, which can accommodate hundreds of servants.

When Song Gensheng took office in Shuzhou, he also brought his wife Xiu'er with him. He bought a dozen servant girls and hired several nursing homes at home, making him look like an official.

As soon as they entered the house, the butler greeted Song Gensheng and Qing Chongshu diligently. Qing Chongshu was already a frequent visitor to Song Gensheng's house, so he greeted the butler warmly without restraint, and then followed Song Gensheng inside.

His wife Xiu'er came up to her, looking at her husband's haggard face who had not slept all night with distress, and ordered the servants to bring hot rice porridge and pickles. Xiu'er is now an official lady, and is much poorer than she was in Shiqiao Village.

The appearance is completely different. Today's Xiu'er has fair skin and her appearance is much more stretched than before. She is like a skinny flower that turned into a blooming peony overnight, full of graceful temperament.

The servants served rice porridge, and Qing Chongshu also drank a bowl of it.

After the two of them finished drinking the rice porridge, Qing Chongshu was about to say goodbye and go home to rest, when Song Gensheng suddenly said: "Xiu'er, ask your servant to bring a jar of wine."

Xiu'er was stunned and said: "My husband has never liked drinking, why..."

A smile spread across Song Gensheng's lips and he said, "I don't know why, but I suddenly want to drink a few drinks today. Brother Qing, would you like to drink with me?"

Qing Chongshu said with a smile: "That's what you wish for."

Xiu'er looked at Qing Chongshu in confusion, Qing Chongshu cupped his hands and smiled and said: "There was a military report from Longyou Road. Lord Gu led the Anxi army to defeat the Tubo bandit army and annihilated more than 20,000 enemies. This is the greatest achievement of our Tang Dynasty in recent years.

It is a rare great victory. This battle will determine the fate of the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop. Perhaps Biejia is happy because of this."

Xiu'er suddenly understood and immediately beamed with joy: "Brother Gu is so powerful. He is capable of both literary and military skills. He is really not a mortal. This is worthy of celebration. I will serve you wine right away."

Song Gensheng said with a smile: "Stop for a while, the government will send someone to Shiqiao Village to tell the neighbors about the good news. Let Feng Aweng withdraw money and food, and invite the villagers, old and young, to hold a banquet for three days. Gu Qing's victory is enough for the villagers."

After being drunk for three days, I should congratulate you from afar."

Xiu'er said happily: "Well, I'll go right away."

Seeing the happy expressions of the couple, Qing Chongshu suddenly felt a little dazed.

The man named Gu Qing was thousands of miles away, but he seemed to have occupied the hearts of Song Gensheng and the people of Shiqiao Village, controlled their souls, and controlled the joys and sorrows of these people in Shiqiao Village.

What kind of magic, what kind of charm, could make these simple people care so much about everything about him. They are fascinated by him from thousands of miles away.

…………

Gu Qing, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed.

Then a look of alarm appeared in Gu Qing's eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Bian Lingcheng must be scolding me behind my back!"

Han Jie was stunned and blinked blankly.

"Han Jie, lead the troops to chop Bian Lingcheng into pieces for me!"

Han Jie was shocked: "Master Hou, are you serious?"

Gu Qing sighed: "Why should you be so serious and just talk casually? The most important thing in life is to be happy..."

Han Jie breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Marquis, you are the commander-in-chief of the three armies. You must be serious when you speak. Your words are military orders for the officers and soldiers of the three armies. You cannot joke."

Outside the handsome tent, a guard stood respectfully at the door carrying a food box.

Gu Qing frowned: "Is it the food sent by Fuzhi Inn again?"

The guard lowered his head and said: "Yes, and it was made by the female shopkeeper herself. She said it was out of her affection for the Marquis..."
