Fuzhou gossip gl

Before Fang Zhiyuan left, he sent the news to Fuzhou, telling them to prepare the required horses and horses, and wanted to speed up the journey by reducing the number of people and horses.When going there, take the flat road first and then the mountain road. At the beginning, the car is as fast as a Qingqi, and it is easy to drive more than a hundred miles a day.On the first day, Fang Zhiyuan got off the horse a few times and raised the curtain to ask Guan Yukuo if he was feeling well. Guan Yukuang held the handkerchief on his heart and pursed his lips and said it was okay.When the curtain came down, he pressed his temples tightly and closed his eyes, and grabbed Fuzhu's sleeve corner, leaning against her without saying a word.

It usually takes half a month to travel from the capital to Fuzhou, but last time I followed the corvee team, stopping and going for nearly two months.To say that it is the fastest, it would take seven or eight days to go fast overnight, and according to the speed of these days, it would take about ten days to reach it.At night, Guan Yuzheng was often stuffy, and it was difficult to eat, Fang Zhiyuan was afraid that she would not be able to rest well, so he arranged a separate room for her, often went to greet her, and expressed his apologies.Every time Guan Yufu saw him, his brows relaxed a little, and he said in detail that he insisted on going, and he didn't blame him, and he didn't need to slow down the schedule for himself, the business was important.Fang Zhiyuan naturally understood what she meant, and felt uneasy, but there was nothing he could do.

On the tenth day, I finally saw the city gate of Fuzhou.Fang Zhiyuan stepped forward to make an announcement, and Dong Yongdao stepped forward to greet him, saying that basic necessities, food, housing and transportation had already been properly prepared, and even the batch of firearms had been sent to the warehouse.Fang Zhiyuan bowed his hands and thanked, Dong Yongdao said that talking about trivial matters was just a joke.

"I thought earlier that it would take at least ten days to get here from Beijing. I don't think Mr. Fang will arrive in ten days." After speaking, he looked at Guan Yuxuan at the side, and then at Fang Zhiyuan, and said with a smile, "Mr. Fang People care about the country, so don't suffer for your daughter-in-law."

Guan Yufu lowered his head and hid his smile with his sleeves, and ordered Fuzhu to hand over a food box to Mr. Dong, saying, "Yufu doesn't feel bitter, but I brought some old favorite snacks from Beijing to my lord. .”

Dong Yongdao took it, knocked open the food box, looked inside and closed the lid again, patted the box with a smile on his face: "Oh, thank you for your heart, I just love the bitter taste of Fuze Cake, here in Fuzhou I would like Don't come." After saying that, he lightly slapped Fang Zhiyuan with his elbow, and said, "Your Majesty really gave you a good girl! You won't even feel pain if you follow you, so you can secretly enjoy it." Fang Zhiyuan nodded in agreement.

Dong Yongdao sent the group to the residence, saying that the journey was hard and it was inconvenient to bother them too much. After his husband and wife rectified a little, they will hold a banquet tomorrow to clean up the dust.Fang Zhiyuan thanked him first, and then asked where the firearm was stored.Dong Yongdao understood what he was thinking, stroked his beard and said, "Master Fang can't wait to see it today?" Fang Zhiyuan just smiled and didn't answer.Dong Yongdao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Guan Yuxuan again, and asked, "Do you want to go with your husband?" Guan Yuxuan shook his head and did not dare to respond, and looked at Fang Zhiyuan with a daughter's slight annoyance, and replied, "He is going to Let's go, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you today." After saying that, he lowered his head and saluted, which seemed to coax people to leave.Fang Zhiyuan saw her intentions, accepted her favor, and imitated his behavior to comfort her, telling her to stay in the room and rest without worrying about it.

As for Mr. Dong, we are very knowledgeable, and we like to watch the young couple quarreling, joking: "Oh, your husband wants to leave you as a patient to see some cold firearms, why don't you hold him?"

How could Guan Yufu have heard this before, but the play is halfway through, can it be stopped?Then she pursed her lips and frowned, looked left and right and hesitated to speak, full of a daughter's shyness, her face was stained with a layer of warm red, it felt hot even if she didn't touch it, she turned around in a hurry, How dare you look at these two people.Fang Zhiyuan was also amazed, but he really looked good, so he calmly helped her smooth things over: "Master Dong, don't make fun of us two anymore."

Dong Yongdao laughed loudly, and said: "Oh, this girl is the daughter of my dear Lord Jiaoguan, and she once worked under my subordinates, and your Lord Fang has been in and out of Fuzhou all the year round, and we are also old friends. Now you two We are together, and I, Dong Yongdao, don’t make fun of the fans, it’s too unreasonable. Okay, okay, since you are a firearm who really cares about you, let go of your wife, let me do it. "

Guan Yufu saluted and sent them off, and he seemed to be a little awkward. Seeing them go out, he just wanted to change his face. Unexpectedly, Dong Yongdao, who took a step forward, turned around with a smile, pointed at Fang Zhiyuan with one hand, and whispered with the other. Whispered: "I took your husband away, don't be sad!"

Guan Yukuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and replied, "If you're going to be sad all of this, then there will be time to be sad in the future."

Dong Yongdao heard this, turned his head to look at Fang Zhiyuan, he was so excited that he fisted and clapped his hands, and said: "Look, what a girl, I will grab the ground with my head if my one can catch up to half. Hey, don’t tell my wife what you said just now!”

The two gradually drifted away, but even through the door, a few voices could still be heard: "You, you, I'm here to tell you about this way of getting along. It's the first time to make my wife happy. Waiting for something big..." Guan Yuzhen, who was leaning against the door, almost burst out of laughter, smiled wryly and waved his hands, asking Fuzhu to help her sit down and calm down.

When Fang Zhiyuan came back after noon, Guan Yukuo said that someone had brought food, so he didn't wait for him, Fang Zhiyuan immediately replied that this meal should be eaten, and Master Dong had already hosted a banquet for him.Later, the two talked about Mr. Dong's warm heart, and talked about the changes in Fuzhou, and there is no need to elaborate on the summary.The next day, I went to the governor's mansion to pick up the wind and clean up the dust. I don't need to elaborate on the politeness.The most important thing is the batch of firearms. Fang Zhiyuan first took people to count the points, and recorded the names according to the routine of storage, and then took Guan Yuyu to thank the foreign merchants who sent the firearms. The method, every detail, is recorded one by one.When we got back to the post station, it was already the moon rising, and the group of people were counting their luggage and preparing to go back to Beijing tomorrow. Unexpectedly, there was a bad move, and it rained heavily at night, with the sound of knocking on the window, Fang Zhiyuan woke up in the middle of the night , Opening the window to look, unexpectedly being hit by the rain, it is really late at night, the man in the green shirt sighed.

The rain was so heavy that no one dared to travel on land or water.The ship that just arrived was tied with an iron chain thicker than an arm, and even though it was ups and downs in the port, it was still floating on the sea, and I am afraid that it is asking God to worship Buddha.Dong Yongdao hurriedly said that it was his own fault, he did not expect to rain when preparing a car, one or two with the sunroof open and the big roof open is really outrageous.He spoke earnestly, waved his right hand, poured the wind with his big sleeve, and sternly ordered the subordinates beside him to quickly prepare a group of men with rain gear.Just look at the small official's first reply, and then look around to find an excuse: "The heavy rain these days has caused inconvenience to transportation, and it will take about three or four days to prepare, sir..." When Master Dong heard that it would take three or four days, he immediately Panicked, he turned around and scolded him face to face: "Three or four days? Are you responsible for delaying Mr. Fang's trip? Two days, within two days, you must transport it to the warehouse!" The officer trembled with fright and dared not refute, he could only say yes.

In the morning, Fang Zhiyuan went to the warehouse to check the situation of the firearms, while Guan Yufu stayed at the post station leaning against the window.

What this man sees is rain; what this man looks forward to is return.

The door was opened lightly, with the sound of heavy footsteps, and the water splashed on the ground, so why would you want to watch the rain?Guan Yukuo turned to look at each other, and when he saw him, he walked over, took the coir raincoat he had just taken off, put it away, dusted off the water, and wiped him with a dry handkerchief. Not sloppy.Seeing that he was wiping it, he chatted again: "It's raining very hard, I don't think this umbrella can do anything."

Fang Zhiyuan bent down and patted the water on his trousers, saying, "Yes, thanks to you sending someone to bring it, otherwise I'm afraid I'd be drowned."

Guan Yukuo looked at him carefully and asked, "Did you wet your clothes?"

Fang Zhiyuan scratched his head and smiled, saying that it was raining heavily, so he needed to bring more water and just change into clothes.After hearing this, Guan Yuzhen waved his handkerchief lightly, telling him to go quickly, don't be cold.While speaking, he tiptoed to take a willow leaf from his hair, held it in his hand and twirled it around, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, no need to say much.

After Fang Zhiyuan changed his clothes, Guan Yuzheng had already sat down at the table and poured tea for him. When he saw him coming, he pushed the tea seat and said, "Nuannuan." Fang Zhiyuan took it and drank it, secretly tsk He said: "Unexpectedly, Fuzhou, in July, it's a bit chilly when it rains."

Guan Yufu was also drinking tea and asked, "Have you ever seen the rain in Fuzhou?"

Fang Zhiyuan smiled at her, pointed to the roof, and said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, when I come here it's always a sunny day where I can go to sea."

Guan Yufu served tea, saying that he was very lucky, and he didn't know when he came to Fuzhou. Anyway, as long as it rains in July and August, it's better not to travel.Fang Zhiyuan responded, saying that was that, that he came to Fuzhou a few times before, mostly in spring and autumn, and several times in winter, and this is the first time he has come to Fuzhou in summer. Thinking about it, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked : "I heard people say that Fuzhou is a good port, why is it called a good port in July and August even when you can't travel these days?"

Guan Yuxuan shook his head and smiled, "My lord, this is just joking. If this Fuzhou is really a good port, I don't know where the wealth is. But it's just a matter of picking out the tall ones from the dwarfs. If it's really a good port, the first few A closed port is a better port.”

Fang Zhiyuan was not afraid of her jokes, he said that he didn't know too well, but he often went to sea with those businessmen, and he was not as good as someone who had been in Fuzhou.As he was talking, he suddenly had a tickle in his throat and coughed.Seeing the eyebrows, Guan Yufu hurriedly moved closer, and asked if he was okay, but if he was freezing.Fang Zhiyuan waved his hand and said it was okay.

Guan Yuxuan poured him another cup of tea, handed it to him, and said, "The rain in Fuzhou is the worst. It's like soaking the bones. It's so cold that it hits your heart."

Fang Zhiyuan took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "If your heart is warm, why are you afraid of the rain?"

After hearing this, Guan Yukuo touched the pattern on the teacup, but said nothing.

"Are the firearms okay?"

"If you can't get it in the shower, you're afraid of getting wet, but it's inevitable that it's raining now. I guess it's not a problem. The things they make are often thoughtful, and maybe they're not afraid of water." Fang Zhiyuan said freely, thinking that since God put If I am stuck here, I will settle down as soon as I come.

Guan Yuzhen could hear a bit of sourness from his words, and asked, "Your Excellency, are you so self-deprecating?"

Fang Zhiyuan replied: "It's not that I'm arrogant, I'm telling the truth. Have you ever seen me throw a firearm?"

Guan Yukuo shook his head and said he had never seen it before.When Fang Zhiyuan mentioned firearms, he was still very enthusiastic, and he also guessed that she had never seen this firearm before, so he hurriedly asked Ying: "I am in and out of the Ministry of Industry, I will take you to meet me next time. Wait for the rain to calm down tomorrow, first I will take you to have a look at this batch, and when you get back to Beijing, you will know it by comparing yourself, so there is no need to mention it.” He waved his sleeves, knowing that he was angry, and he didn’t know whether it was anger or hostility. Anyway, the sound of moaning and sighing must be there.

Guan Yukuo thanked him with a smile, saying that he was looking forward to it.Fang Zhiyuan smiled and nodded with her, got up and went to the window to watch the rain.Pressing the window with both hands, the building only has two floors, and he doesn't know where he will see by leaning on the railing. Is it the hazy harbor in the distance, the spring rain under the eaves, or people in a hurry on the road?Fang Zhiyuan looked out of the window, Guan Yuzheng looked at him, and saw that he was about to turn around, so he turned around too quickly and scooped up the exhausted tea on the table.

"I suddenly remembered something."

"My lord said." Guan Yukuo put down his teacup, turned around and sat down to listen.

"During the reign of the first emperor, Hong Kong was still open, and there was no such thing as Fuzhou?"

Guan Yufu felt very funny when he heard this, and covered his mouth with one hand and smiled: "My lord, you still talked about me before, but now you don't understand it? Are you trying to test me again? When the first emperor was in power, these ports Naturally, it is open, and of course it doesn’t exist in Fuzhou.”

Fang Zhiyuan also laughed, stopped laughing for a while, and asked again: "At that time, your father was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites?"

"Yes."

"The closure of the port was a matter of three years in Jiahua?"

"Exactly, it was the year of severe drought. The Japanese pirates broke out half a year after the emperor ascended the throne, and it was indeed three years after Jiahua that the port was closed."

"At that time, your father was still working as a minister?"

"Yes. Dad was lowered in the fourth year of Jiahua."

"Then... why didn't he dissuade you when the port was closed?"

"This... Yu Yu was still young at that time, so I didn't know."

"Five?"

"Yes."

"Did you ever ask?"

"Never."

"Why? Mr. Guan advocated the introduction of foreign studies in his early years and opened up his voice. Looking at all directions, I just want to know why he changed his mind."

"I never asked, and Dad never told me. Just guessed."

"tell me the story."

"In the 29th year of Zhaoren, my father moved to the east of the city, and he lived in Guiyuantian."

"At that time, he already had the intention of returning to the Garden?"

"I guess so, otherwise, why would it be called Guiyuan Tianju?"

"and after?"

"My elder brother was born in Zhaoren for 30 years. The single name is one word, far away."

"..."

"Does your lord know why my elder brother is named Yuan?"

"Is it because of the surname Guan?"

"I'm just guessing, I dare not comment."

Fang Zhiyuan sighed: "What happened in those years?"

"Yu Yu doesn't know. I just remember that my lord said that being an official is not just about knowing how to be an official."

"..." Fang Zhiyuan looked back at Yu, and said, "That's true."
