Cheng Yue's golden dragon boat passed through Shanghai, did not stop, and rushed directly into the sea.

As soon as they arrived at the sea, Kuo Kuolun and Babahan, like Wan Ze and other wives and concubines, all gathered at the observation deck and accompanied Cheng Yue to watch the sea together.

The sky is blue and cloudless, the sea is blue and boundless, and the eyes are extremely colorful. White seagulls swirling and chirping in the air, and the salty air of the refreshing sea breeze greeted them, and everything was so beautiful and unreal to the women who had lived on the land and the grasslands for many years.

Wan Ze looked at the calm and beautiful sea blankly, couldn't help but hide in Cheng Yue's arms, and said happily: "Xianggong, the sea is really beautiful, more beautiful than Xianggong said." ”

Cheng Yue hugged her soft waist and said with a smile: "When did I lie to you?" When it comes to the beauty of nature, there is nothing that surpasses the sea, and even if you live by the sea all your life, you can't see enough of such magnificent scenery. By the way, and seafood, none of you have ever eaten fish and shrimp in the sea, how about I try to catch a few fish? Let's see if you're used to eating. ”

As soon as Cheng Yue's words fell, Rou Niang pointed to the water and said in surprise: "Look! There are fish, such big fish! ”

Cheng Yue looked down and said with a smile: "That's not a fish, it's called a dolphin." I said it in my biology book. It is an aquatic mammal. Not fish. And they're friendly to people, we can't eat them. ”

Zhang Shufang said with a smile: "The official is the kindest, neither hunting nor harming dolphins. The officials asked Boyan to protect the giant pandas, and when he heard that poaching had greatly decreased over the past year, Boyan ordered the killing of more than 20 people, which made the locals in Sichuan and Shaanxi baffled. ”

Cheng Yue said: "I have repeatedly promoted the importance of protecting nature, but it is still difficult for the world to understand. For the time being, a little coercion is needed. Our children and grandchildren will be grateful to me. ”

Gillian smiled and said: "Leave them so much delicious food, of course you have to be grateful to the officials." ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said, "What you said is too reasonable, when I catch a fish, I will give you the first one to eat." ”

When Mrs. Gu heard that Cheng Yue was going fishing, she entered the cabin early to bring a fishing rod and bait. Cheng Yue took it and went down to the deck to start fishing. Seeing this, Gu Changde hurriedly accompanied him personally and cleaned up the catch for Cheng Yue.

Kuo Kuolun and Baba rarely Cheng Yue were fishing, and they also wanted to accompany him to fish, but Cheng Yue refused. Sea fishing is not the same as river fishing. He didn't want them to have an accident.

There are so many fish in the sea that it is not true, and Cheng Yue caught four kinds of fish in a while. There are also several big fish among them.

Cheng Yue was very happy and personally brought the fish to the kitchen to cook. He hadn't eaten sea fish for a long time, and now he could finally have a full kiss.

Several fish dishes were brought to the women, including fried fish, stewed fish, and fish soup. All the women are accustomed to eating monosodium glutamate on weekdays, and they are quite acceptable to the umami of sea fish, and they are very happy to eat, and they praise the sea fish for being delicious. Only Kuo Kuolun was a little uncomfortable, afraid that Cheng Yue would be unhappy, so he ate hard, and later felt good.

Cheng Yue patted his stomach and said with a smile: "This trip is not hard at all, and I have to gain a few pounds when I go back." ”

Wan Ze said with a smile: "The day of the Xianggong is hard, don't be tired and thin." ”

At this time, the sea began to rise and the speed of the ship increased, and the deck began to jolt. Ye Yiyi said with a little pale: "Official, I'm not very comfortable, nauseous, and dizzy." ”

Cheng Yue hurriedly said: "This is the sea, it is easy to get seasick, you just ate sea fish again, it is inevitable, I have prepared some medicine there, you go back to the cabin first and lie down, I will send it over immediately." ”

Gillian hurriedly got up to support Ye Yiyi, and Wan'er turned around to get the medicine.

After a while, Kuo Kuolun, Wan Ze, Yaguli and other women all showed symptoms of seasickness and were sent back to the cabin by the three ladies one by one to recuperate. Babahan has good water quality, and the degree of seasickness is also light, but he was also persuaded by Cheng Yue to go back to the cabin to rest for a while.

The wind and waves were not great, but by evening they had subsided, and the sea had returned to calm. Cheng Yue was afraid that they would not sleep well, so he ordered to anchor on the shore and set up tents on the shore for the wives and concubines to rest, and Cheng Yue himself accompanied them to get off the boat.

In the evening, only Zhang Shufang, Rou Niang, Gillian and Wan'er served Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue was not satisfied, and sneaked to the tent where the three ladies were in the middle of the night for a long time, and the four concubines heard the voice, and they all pretended to be asleep, and they couldn't hear it.

The next day, the women got back on board, stronger than yesterday, and the wind and waves were not strong, so no one vomited again.

The golden dragon boat broke the waves all the way, and on the afternoon of the eighth day, Quanzhou was already in sight!

When Cheng Yue saw the port of Quanzhou with a high-powered telescope, Pu Shouchen, Pu Shougeng and Pu Shougeng's three sons had led all the civil and military officials in Quanzhou and Totoku and others to greet him at the wharf. The dock was crowded with people, and it was full of people until the street was full, and it was impossible to tell whether they came to greet Cheng Yue or come to see the excitement.

Cheng Yue handed the binoculars to Mrs. Song to put away, pointed to the crowd of people who greeted him in the distance, and sighed to Kuo Kuolun and the others: "This group of people, toast and don't eat and drink, I'm so busy, I have to force me to go in person, what's any benefit to them?" ”

Kuo Kuo Lun smiled and said: "Some people just don't cry when they don't see the coffin, why don't you fulfill them?" ”

Cheng Yue turned his head and smiled: "It's still the best thing you say." Go change your clothes, we'll be disembarking soon. ”

After a while, the golden dragon boat slowly approached the dock, and the dock suddenly burst into joy, drums and firecrackers were deafening, and Pu Shougeng was also well versed in the way of being an official.

The pedal of the disembarkation was put on the shore, the disembarkation door was wide open, Cheng Yue took the lead, Gu Changde and Xiao Zhen followed, and two hundred spearmen also disembarked immediately, guarding Cheng Yue. All the women stayed on the boat for the time being, and they had to wait for Cheng Yue to finish talking to the officials in Quanzhou before leaving with Cheng Yue. Cheng Yue got off the boat to have something to say, and it was inconvenient for them to be next to them.

As soon as Cheng Yue arrived on the shore, all the officials of the Pu family and Quanzhou knelt down to greet him. Of course, there is no need to be like this in ordinary situations, but Cheng Yue came with anger this time, and the Pu family must first ask for guilt.

Cheng Yue ignored the kneeling people and looked fixedly. In addition to the officers under Totok and others, there were several unknown civilian and military generals who bowed down and did not kneel. Among them, there was a woman in men's clothes, who was born delicate and dignified, with a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and she also gave a manly salute to Cheng Yue, there must be no doubt that it was Mrs. Xu.

Totoh stepped forward and saluted: "The Metropolitan Governor, his subordinates have not all incorporated the Quanzhou army, and they have to bother the Metropolitan Governor to come to Quanzhou, so I specially ask the Metropolitan Governor for guilt." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "I don't blame you, blame me for not restraining the officials in Quanzhou, it's okay to come here, there are a few people I want to meet, and some things have to be taken care of." ”

When Pu Shougeng and the others heard Cheng Yue's words, they all broke out in a cold sweat, what do the governors want to do? Didn't they want to take away the power of the Quanzhou City Bosi in their hands? If so, then they really deserve it!

Standing aside with a guilty face, a middle-aged civil official with a kind face stepped forward and saluted: "Fujian Mention Prison King Ji Weng to meet the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Cheng Yue looked up and down, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, I have heard of the name for a long time, did you receive the letter I wrote to you last time?" ”

Wang Jiweng hurriedly said: "Thank you to the Metropolitan Governor for taking the time to reply to the letter, the lower officials can get the guidance of the Metropolitan Governor, and I am grateful." ”

Cheng Yue smiled and said: "You have a good political reputation in Fujian, and I know that when it comes to this, I have another appointment." ”

Wang Jiweng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, most of the humane governors appointed people on the basis of merit, and sure enough, his name was true. He has no relationship with the Metropolitan Governor, but he was able to be promoted by the Metropolitan Governor, and his efforts have not been in vain.

Another middle-aged civil official hurriedly stepped forward to give a deep salute and said, "King Yin of Fuzhou Mansion has just come to greet the governor. ”

Cheng Yue frowned and said, "Fuzhou Mansion Yin? You're here too? "There were three Wang Gangzhong in the Song Dynasty, and the prefect of Fuzhou in front of him was not virtuous or virtuous. This person's biggest hobby as an official is to be powerful and blessed, full of officialdom, but he has not done a few good things, and he is a figure that Cheng Yue will soon recall.

Wang Gangzhong saw that Cheng Yue's face was uncertain, and hurriedly said: "Xiaguan has long admired the prestige of the Metropolitan Governor, but he hated that he could not go to Lin'an to listen to the teachings in person, and heard that the Metropolitan Governor was going to Quanzhou and summoned Lord Wang, so Xiaguan rushed to Quanzhou from Fuzhou with Lord Wang, just to meet the Metropolitan Governor. ”

Cheng Yue nodded lightly and said, "Sincerity is rare, it's hard work, let's talk about it when we go to the city." ”

Wang Gangzhong was secretly proud, and retreated to the side with a deep salute.

The two men and one woman in the back immediately made up, the first one, Yingting, quite elegant, must be Xu Hanqing, next to Xu Hanqing, Mrs. Xu hugged her fists and gave a man's salute, which means that women do not let their eyebrows. Behind Xu Hanqing, a big man with drooping eyebrows, his face full of excitement, and bowed deeply to Cheng Yue, except for Chen Hangyan, there would be no one else.

Cheng Yue smiled slightly, didn't wait for them to report their names, and said, "Xu Hanqing, Mrs. Xu, Chen Hangyan?" ”

The three of them couldn't help but be overjoyed, their waists bent lower, and Xu Hanqing said humbly: "A cheap name is insulting to listen." ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "No need, stand up and speak." ”

Hearing this, the three of them hurriedly straightened their waists, and Xu Hanqing's hands trembled slightly: "The lower officials and the insiders and clan brothers meet the governor. ”

Cheng Yue smiled: "When I received your letter, I was very happy. Japan is mountainous, and my expedition to Japan happens to lack soldiers who are good at fighting in the mountains and forests, and you have come at the right time. ”

Mrs. Xu raised her eyebrows and said categorically: "My wife and my younger brother swear to die for the governor of the capital!" ”

Chen Hangyan hurriedly said loudly behind him: "Yes, the Metropolitan Governor let me die, and I will die immediately!" ”

Cheng Yue laughed and said: "You bastard, don't talk nonsense, what did I let you die for no reason?" Do you want to ruin my reputation? ”

Chen Hangyan suddenly blushed and his neck was thick, and he shook his head desperately and said, "No...... I mean...... I'll give my life to the Metropolitan Governor, and I'll do whatever the Metropolitan Governor tells me to do, and I'll die if I die! ”

Cheng Yue liked this straight-eyed man very much, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can follow me in the future, I have a lot of things for you to do, and the battle will be even more unfinished." (To be continued.) )
