Abandoned Daughter from a Noble Family: Poison to the World
Chapter 262 Feeling like old friends at first sight
Fang Shihui agreed to surrender.
Therefore, the newly appointed governor of Quanzhou, Linghu Lanke, also came with them.
The moon is at its zenith, shining brightly on the world. The weather in Quanzhou is mostly this good, with very few foggy or heavy rains at night.
It happened to be the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the moon was exceptionally round, like a silver plate.
Naturally, the polite words had to be spoken beautifully and appropriately by people in official circles, and Linghu Lanke specially brought a large jar of aged wine.
Su Wanqing was the prince, and the best seat at the table belonged to her, with Su Qu sitting next to her.
Yuan Li stood on the roof of the main hall, watching vigilantly for every move outside.
"It is a blessing for the people of Quanzhou that His Royal Highness can set foot in Quanzhou. I would like to offer a toast to His Royal Highness."
As soon as the seal of the fine wine was opened, the rich aroma of the wine wafted everywhere, and the delicious food from Quanzhou and Nanxiang began to emit fragrance.
The musicians played the harp and the flute in the middle of the banquet, creating a lively atmosphere.
"The wine that Governor Linghu brought is very good."
At the banquet, the four people chatted about random things, until the jar of wine was almost finished and the musicians left, they started to talk about serious topics.
"Your Highness, do you think that Quanzhou is the most desolate place in our dynasty?"
Linghu Lanke could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, his face remained calm and his heart remained steady, his eyes were curved and he looked kind.
Quanzhou has always been a place of exile.
It is naturally desolate.
“The land is still the same land, but the people on the land have changed. Today, Quanzhou has become rich and prosperous, all thanks to man’s ability to conquer nature.
Just like this fine wine in the glass, it was only grains of rice at the beginning. If it were not for the winemaker, the grains would always be just grains of rice.
Su Wanqing raised the wine glass and toasted towards Linghu Lanke, and the local official immediately stood up and toasted the Crown Prince in return.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince and I really have a tacit understanding."
Linghu Lanke drank the wine in his cup and said with a smile:
"When I was young, I followed my mother to build dams. Every year during the plum rain season, the prefectures near Quanzhou and Nanxiang would be ravaged by floods, and we had to keep a close eye on the dams.
Fortunately, with the advice of an expert, my mother was able to use dams to control the water level and prevent farmland and people’s houses from being destroyed by floods.”
Linghu Fengmei hoped that she would be a giant axe to create a prosperous era, with the absolute violence to destroy the chaotic world, as well as the benevolence of a gentleman who loves his people.
The core idea is practice, practice and practice again. As long as you keep doing it, one day, you will have a paradise with clear rivers and peaceful seas, and people can live and work in peace and contentment.
"Your Madam's virtue is recorded in history, which I admire. I hope that the Linghu clan will surpass their predecessors from generation to generation, just like fine wine that becomes more mellow as it is brewed for a longer time."
Fang Shihui didn't say much. She was just looking at Su Wanqing the whole time, observing her without disguising her behavior at all.
It was as if Su Wanqing was a strange animal that she had never seen before and found it curious, so she kept standing by the cage and watching him.
Su Wanqing turned his gaze to Fang Shihui and asked with a smile, "Captain Fang Gang, why are you staring at me?"
Fang Shihui looked like someone who was not easy to get along with, but at this moment he actually smiled, a rare smile.
"I feel that I have a good impression of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. We feel like we have known each other for a long time. It's as if we have seen each other somewhere before. He looks very familiar."
"Really? This is the first time I've seen Fang Gangshou in person. I've only seen your portrait before, and it seems like your face changes every year. But fortunately, our fate remains unchanged."
