The old man suddenly saw a strange young man, and couldn't help but be surprised: "It's the old man, may I ask ...... the father" Zhang Dingzi said in surprise on the side: "Grandpa, don't you know him either?" ”

Zhang Xin shook his head blankly and said, "This public face is very good, I have never seen it." When Zhang Ding heard this, he was taken aback and said, "How do you say that your grandfather introduced you?" Fang Guohuan hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand Zhang Gong, I came here this time in order to personally deliver a letter to Mr. Zhang Xin, because Mr. Zhang was out, so he waited a few more days." May I ask Mr. Zhang, do you have a younger brother named Zhang Yuan overseas? ”

"You...... What did you say? Zhang Xin couldn't help but stand up in shock. Zhang Ding was surprised and said: "My second grandfather has been at sea since he was a child, and he has not heard from him since, and his life and death are uncertain, who are you?" How do you know about our family affairs? ”

Fang Guochuan said: "A few years ago, I went to sea with the long-distance ship of Gusu Zhao, and then I was shipwrecked and did not die, drifted to the Buddhist country of India, and met several expatriates, including Mr. Zhang Yuan, and Mr. Zhang Yuan entrusted him to return to the original time, went to Yangzhou to carry a letter to his family. After speaking, Fang Guochuan handed over the letter that had been hidden for a long time.

Fang Guochuan saw Zhang Xin, so he handed Zhang Yuan's letter up, Zhang Xin hurriedly got up and took it with trembling hands, hurriedly opened it and looked at it, before reading a few lines, he was already in tears, crying: "Brother, I didn't expect you to be alive, my brother thought you took a step first...... Zhang Ding was stunned and hurriedly persuaded himself.

At this time, Zhao Jie, who came from behind, saw this scene, Fang understood everything, and secretly exclaimed, "Ashamed!" Hurriedly stepped forward and apologized: "It turns out that Fang Gong is here to deliver letters, and he almost misunderstood, rude!" Faux pas! ”

Zhang Ding repented at this time and said: "Why didn't Gong Fang say earlier, I have really wronged you in the past few days, a sin!" Sin! Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "When I went down to the house that day, because Mr. Zhang Xin was not there, I simply made a mistake, although I was a servant for a few days, and I was taken care of by Zhang Gong, I was also idle." ”

When Zhang Ding heard this, his face turned red, and he was busy accomplishing his crimes. At this time, Zhang Xin finished reading Zhang Yuan's letter, he was already very excited, stepped forward and took Fang Guolian's hand, and said gratefully: "Gong Dayi, I brought my brother's letter from a foreign country thousands of miles away, so that the old man's uneasy thoughts for many years were finally comforted, thinking that my brother has no news since he was a child. Over the years, the old man has entrusted many seafarers to search overseas, Luzon, Java and other places I don't know how many times, there has been no news, I didn't expect him to go so far, but he is still alive, which makes me think so bitter! Na Zhang Xin said, and couldn't help but cry again.

Fang Guochuan said: "Mr. Zhang Yuan also misses his homeland and relatives very much, but he is too old to return to his homeland, but let him seal a safe family letter to express his family affection." Zhang Xin said gratefully: "Gong Fang brought back the safe family letter of the old man's relatives, such a great favor, I don't know how to thank him, and he was worshiped by the old man." After saying that, the new Zhang got up and wanted to give a big gift.

Fang Guohuan hurriedly helped: "Mr. Zhang, don't be like this, otherwise you will be killed." As he spoke, he helped Zhang Xinyu to sit on the chair, and then said: "Being able to hand over this letter to Mr. Zhang is already living up to the trust of Mr. Zhang Yuan in the past, and it is also the end of the next matter." ”

Zhao Jie said at this time: "I heard what Fang Gong said, I went to sea with the Gusu Zhao family's long-distance ship back then, why did I turn around at this time?" Fang Guochuan said: "When I encountered a strong wind in the Western Ocean, I was accidentally swept thousands of miles away with a friend, but fortunately, I did not die, and drifted to the Buddha country of India, and then went back to the original through India to the Western Regions, which can be described as a lifetime of death." Zhao Jie, Zhang Xin, and Zhang Ding were amazed when they heard it.

Zhao Jie then sighed: "Fang Gongguo is a trustworthy person, he came from thousands of miles, and when he came here, his family was willing to be wronged, which is really admirable." Immediately, Fang Guohuan was in awe. Zhang Ding said in surprise on the side: "A few years ago, I heard that Zhao Chen, the richest man in Jiangnan and a big businessman in Suzhou, personally built a ship and went to sea, and recruited some strange people. Disrespectful! At this time, Zhang Xin restrained some sentimentality, and said gratefully: "The husband brought this letter from a foreign country, which fulfilled the old man's longing for his brother, and he did not thank him, and asked the husband to live in the house for a few more days, so that my Zhang family could do some landlord's convenience." ”

Fang Guohuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be polite, I can personally hand over Mr. Zhang Yuan's letter to your old hand, and I feel relieved that I have finished a matter of heart, I just turned around, and I want to visit some old people, so let's leave." After speaking, Fang Guohuan got up and wanted to say goodbye.

Zhang Xin saw it, and hurriedly stopped: "No matter how anxious the husband is, it can't be shortened in the past few days, so how can the old man feel at ease if he asks the prince to go like this." Zhao Jie and Zhang Ding also persuaded them bitterly, but Fang Guohuan couldn't refuse, so he had to agree to stay for two days. During the banquet, Zhang Xin read Zhang Yuan's letter several times, inevitably feeling sad and excited again, and asked Fang Guohuan about Zhang Yuan's recent situation, Fang Guohuan answered truthfully, and heard that Zhang Yuan was living well, Zhang Xinxin was a little more relieved.

Zhao Jie toasted Fang Guohuan a few glasses of wine, and asked about going to sea, Fang Guohuan roughly recounted it, and heard that Fang Guohuan had this magical experience, which made Zhao Jie, Zhang Xin, and Zhang Ding amazed, and the other party Guohuan was even more respectful. Zhao Jie then said: "Fang Gong has gone through all the hardships and dangers and returned to Jiangnan, this time I want to visit Mr. Zhao Chen in Suzhou." ”

Fang Guochuan said: "Yes, I plan to visit Zhao's father in Suzhou first, show that I have survived, I was not killed back then, and if possible, I will pick up an old man from Suzhou." Thinking of Xiaoquan, who has been separated for nearly four years, Fang Guochuan misses it very much. Zhao Jie said at this time: "Fang Gong came back in time, just in time for the heroes meeting of Baguio Villa." ”

"The Heroes?" Fang Guohuan was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that when he went to sea, Zhao Chen had said that he wanted to hold a group of heroes conference, but he didn't expect it to be implemented, and he was surprised. Zhao Jie said at this time: "Mr. Zhao Chen is not only rich in the world, but also a proud person, in order to hold this group of heroes, prepared for nearly two years, to invite the world's talented people to gather in Baguio Villa, it will be an unprecedented event." ”

Zhang Ding said beside him: "I heard that the person invited must have a skill, and what no one can reach, is eligible to be invited." Half a year ago, I sent out invitations, I want to invite all the heroes and talents from all walks of life in the world, I don't know how many people will be invited? Zhao Jie said: "There are many talented people in the world, although they can't all be invited, but they can invite most of them, and it is also unprecedented." Now that the rebellion of the three kings has just been settled, the world is a little settled, and the holding of this heroic event can also calm down the hearts of the people, so Suzhou Mansion is also vigorous, and it is really a happy thing to be able to know the heroes of the world at that time. Fang Guochuan was amazed, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know when this grand event will be held?" ”

Zhao Jie said: "August 15, the Autumn Festival, and more than 20 days, Zhao Bucai also received an invitation from the Heroes Club. Fang Guochuan said happily when he heard this: "Mr. Zhao's ventriloquist is superb, how can there be less at the group of heroes, in this case, how about Mr. Zhao go to Suzhou with him?" Zhao Jie said: "It's still early to leave the Heroes Conference, and it is inconvenient for Zhao to go early, so Fang Gong will take the first step, and see you at the Heroes Conference." Fang Guochuan said: "It's okay, wait for Mr. Zhao in the Baguio Villa at that time." Zhang Xin and Zhang Dingsui toasted Fang Guolian a few glasses of wine, and they were extremely grateful.

Fang Guolian stayed in Zhang's house for two days, and Zhang Xinzi was hospitable. Two days later, Fang Guohuan was about to resign and rush to Suzhou, Zhang Xin couldn't keep it, so he had to seal three hundred taels of silver as a gift, where could Fang Guohuan bear so much, but Xie accepted ten taels to do entanglement, and the rest of the fixed words were not accepted, Zhang Xin did not follow, and insisted on giving it away. Zhao Jie knew that Fang Guohuan was not the kind of person who begged for retribution, so he stepped forward to persuade each other. Fang Guohuan was very enthusiastic, so he had to take another fifty taels, and then Zhang Xin, Zhao Jie, and Zhang Ding sent Fang Guohuan out of Yangzhou City, and the two sides waved goodbye.

Fang Guochuan left Yangzhou, because the path was not familiar, his family walked casually, in the evening to the river, looking for a boat to cross the river to the other side, the sky was already dark, and he chose an inn in a small town. Occasionally, the guests of the store talked about the Baguio Villa's group of heroes, and Fang Guohuan was overjoyed, glad that he came back in time to catch up with the event.

Fang Guochuan simply ate something, asked the store for a pot of tea, and went back to the room to rest. Thinking of meeting Zhao Chen, Zhao Mingfeng and others, I don't know what kind of accident it brought them, I couldn't help but sigh again, and thought: "It's really fortunate that I survived this time, I haven't seen you for a few years, Xiaoquan doesn't know what's going on?" When the sea ship came back from overseas, did Xiao Quan go with Brother Bu, or did he live in Baguio Villa with Ming Fenggong? The Zheng He treasure ship, Mr. Zhao Chen, did they find it, did they catch the treasures on the ship? Thinking of these, Fang Guohuan was even more emotional, and then he thought of the matter of the hall, and he was particularly worried.

At this moment, I faintly heard a voice from next door, and one person said: "The long night is silent and boring, how about a game against it?" The other person responded, "Okay, and please go first." The previous man said: "Then I'm welcome, and turn on the upper right star position." Another said, "Should I be three on the left?" The three positions are. ”
