Chapter 20: Return of Glory (1)
It is said that the boat with white sails is slowly moving along the undulating curve of the bay
There was already a small boat coming from the direction of the port, and the boat was sailing very fast, and in a short time it approached the big ship, the ship
The man gestured, and the two ships slowly leaned together.
The rope ladder was lowered, and a sweaty official climbed up panting.
At this time, Fan Xian had already changed into his usual clothes, and he was putting shoes on his feet, and he couldn't come for a while
And what to say, he nodded and motioned for the official to speak.
The official wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official is a warden of Shanzhou, and he is here
Yingqincha is an anti-hometown relative."
Hearing this, Fan Xian was stunned. He didn't pay attention to the official uniform of the person who came before, and he heard that the person who came reported himself to the warden,
He wasn't a man who liked to be flattered, but he also knew that the Inspectorate of Justice
When Lord Si and Lord Qincha returned to their hometowns, the parents and officials of the Prefecture would definitely feel that their faces were bright
Do whatever it takes to pat yourself on the back...... How do you know that the state did not come, but the place came as a warden?
He subconsciously looked at the ant-like people on the dock in the distance, squinted his eyes and said, "Zhizhou is big."
What about people?"
It's just an unintentional sentence, but it fell on the ears of the Lanzhou warden like thunder, and he was scared
Shallow, he said with a sad face: "The adults got the news that the adults are going to the place, so you should rush to the dock to pick them up."
Adults, don't blame adults, it's really ...... Adults didn't know they were so early."
This series of adults also confused Fan Xian after tasting it for a while before he understood, it turned out to be a mess
Cheng didn't expect his ship to reach the ground so quickly.
He smiled and said, "What's there to blame, it's just a private homecoming, where is it so useful."
Greet in battle."
But there was already a big battle on the dock Fan Xian's eyes were amazing, and he vaguely saw that someone was in a hurry
was about to build a pergola, and there were officials rushing over there, and there were even more people gathered in Shanzhou.
The warden felt a little relieved, and with the courage to raise his head slightly, he glanced at this person who had not returned for two years
When he went to the big man in Shanzhou, he was transferred to Shanzhou after Fan Xian left, so he heard a lot about the strangeness of the Earl's Mansion
In the past two years, I have heard a lot about what Master Xiao Fan has done in Kyoto and in the world
Out of the glorious career, so I have long been full of curiosity about this person who went out from Lanzhou.
"Sure enough...... It's a celestial figure." The warden was shocked by Fan Xiandi's appearance, and immediately lowered his head to report
Today's situation.
It turned out that Lin Wan'er, the county lord's mother, returned to Shanzhou with the three princes and a group of people, and she was already shocked
Since the decline of the harbor business, this city has long become a small place in the middle of nowhere
Your Majesty has given grace and reduced the endowment every year, and the people's livelihood is happy, but ...... Who has ever seen such an earthly formation, this is the prince
With the county lord!
People are speculating that since his wife and students have returned, it is natural that Master Fan will also come back.
So I had made preparations a long time ago, but I didn't expect Fan Xian to deal with things in Jiaozhou, and all the officials and people were not
I knew when Fan Xian was coming, and I gradually relaxed my mind until today, an all-black ground suddenly came from outside the city
The cavalry, through the city defense, came directly to the dock and began to set up defenses, and the people guessed that Lord Xiao Fan was today
The day is coming.
Time is too tight, so only by chance heard that the warden rushed over, and the governor of the state and those
The officials are just afraid that they are still in the house to escape the heat, and at this time they are busy dressing and rushing here.
The officials were afraid that the state government would not have time to arrange it, which would make Fan Xian, a big man, angry
So hurry up and come in a small boat to plead guilty.
He cautiously looked at Fan Xian's expression.
Fan Xian suddenly asked, "Is the old lady okay?"
The warden smiled flatteringly: "The old man is healthy and ruthless.
"Hmm, Wan...... Huh?" Fan Xian suddenly frowned.
The warden was shocked, thinking that this master was dissatisfied with today's reception work.
Scared to the back of the sweat more than three layers.
However, Hong Changqing, who was beside Fan Xian, knew that the adult was just suddenly confused, and he shouldn't be in this official
How to call his wife in front of him, so he smiled and whispered, "Young grandmother can come."
Done?"
Fan Xian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, although the warden in front of him was a petty official, he didn't let him go
Fang used the young grandmother to call Wan'er a reason-although this warden must be very willing to recognize Lin Wan'er as a milkman
Milk.
"Madame is in the house." The warden said cautiously: "The old man is also in the house...... It's a day
It's hot, and the lower officials are afraid that the old man will care about the adults and insist on coming to the dock to pick you up, so he hasn't dared to report to the mansion yet."
Fan Xian nodded with satisfaction and patted the warden on the shoulder approvingly
So I didn't let Heiqi go to inform the house at all, and I was going to give it to the old man and some people in the city
Surprises.
The warden was flattered.
"Let all the people on the docks disperse." Fan Xian smiled and said, "Lend me your boat for use, I'll stay."
I'll go back later." Since the old lady and Wan'er didn't come to the dock, he naturally didn't bother to go to the officials
Dealing, those fathers and villagers in Shanzhou...... It's not too late to gossip in the future, in the bamboo shed
Sitting seriously, this uncomfortable experience, it is enough to have Suzhou once.
Unexpectedly, hearing this, Hong Changqing and the warden said in unison: "This is unacceptable."
Hong Changqing was naturally worried about Fan Xian's safety, and Fan Xian calmed down for a while and said with a smile: "Qingwa, you."
After following me for a short time, I remembered that you are a member of the Supervision Institute, and you can accept my decision
Finish...... I can't get rid of those tiger guards given by His Majesty, and you still have to pester me so that I can't be idle?"
Although the words were light, the meaning was heavy, Hong Changqing smiled bitterly, and didn't dare to say anything more.
The warden said with a bitter face: "My lord, the beach is gentle here, but the back is full of cliffs
wall. nowhere to go...... Only from the pier, if you want to go on a tour of the mountains, you might as well stay in the future."
Fan Xian stood up, tightened his clothes on the ground, and watched the side of the ship slowly sweep backwards over the cliffs.
Looking at those familiar reefs that could no longer be familiar, he couldn't help but sigh with satisfaction and said, "This is big
People, An Zhi grew up in Lanzhou since he was a child, don't you know the way home?"
It's not big, but in the past few decades, there has been a household secretary, and it is enough to have a nursing mother of His Majesty
Brilliance, and now there is another Lord Qincha...... And the Chincha-sama grew here until sixteen
years, so in the past two years, the people of Lanzhou have all felt excited and excited about it, that is, with neighboring states
When people come and go, they also have a little more confidence and pride.
Today, the Supervision Yuan rode to the dock to set up defenses, and although the people were scared in their hearts, they also guessed this
The big man was about to return to his hometown, and naturally they all gathered around, ready to see the beautiful girl-like uncle
Juefu Young Master, has the appearance changed in the past two years in Kyoto?
An aunt holding a basket with eggs in the basket muttered, "I said I would come back after the year."
If you come back, it's not a real person, but it's a real person, right?"
A person next to him smiled and said, "Can it still be a real person?" Didn't you see that the Third Highness and Mrs. Fan have returned?"
Someone else said with great interest: "I don't know if Young Master Fan's appearance has changed?
At that time, I don't know how many young ladies in this city were swollen by crying."
The aunt laughed and said, "How can you say that change will change the earth?"
"I don't think so, even this father can say that he can change ......"
Immediately, the unknown man was dragged into the alley by the agitated crowd and flattened.
After a little embarrassment and silence, they gathered around the dock and waited for the people of Fan Xiandi to gradually arrive
The topic of casual conversation turned back to Fan Xiandi himself and the old stories of the year.
"Do you remember every time I came to Juan Fengdi before, Young Master Fan always liked to stand in the courtyard of his house
Calling everyone to collect their clothes?"
All the people laughed, and those young people who were close in age to Fan Xian couldn't help but think of it
There were a lot of things back then, and at that time, Fan Xian was just an illegitimate son of the Earl's Palace, and occasionally he would be with these small
The children are messing around on the streets, but as they get older, they have different identities, but they have already become two worlds
Locals.
The young men had only envy in their eyes with some mixed emotions, and one of them had a small voice
He said, "I've also heard a story from Lord Chincha."
He spoke in a very small voice, and probably no one believed what he said, so most people listened
Consciousness filtered the words to the ears.Seeing that the crowd was not paying attention to him," the young man said in distress
"Really...... I still remember it was a treasure digging story."
Still no one paid attention to him, and the aunt who was carrying the egg was full of interest and said, "Let's talk about us."
Young Master Fan, it's really very different from others, he is obedient and sensible when he plays a small place, and there are a few strange things...... only
When he and the maids in the Earl's Court went out on the street, when did he let those maids carry things?
People are local, and they are called amiable."
There was a lot of discussion on the wharf, and the content varied, and after a while, the officials led by the governor of Lanzhou also arrived
At this time, they were panting and tidying up their official uniforms, looking at the white-sailed ship that was about to dock, and their hearts were relieved
I breathed a sigh of relief, and I thought that I had rushed to it, but I finally arrived.
It's just that everyone didn't expect that Lord Chincha was not on the ship.
The warden walked down the ladder, met Zhizhou's cannibalistic gaze, and said with a sad face: "My lord is halfway."
It's down, and I should have gone home by this time."
Zhizhou was taken aback, glared at him, and was anxious to go to the Earl's Palace, but he didn't dare to leave for a while, because
Although Lord Qincha got off the boat, there was still a cadre on the ship who wanted to greet him
In front of the hinterland, he didn't dare to take the pie too much.
When the onlookers heard this, they couldn't help but shout in unison, and then sighed
The anger is full of pity
Hong Changqing wore the official uniform of the Supervision Yuan, and got off the boat with a group of agents of the Supervision Yuan, looking at the dock on the ground
The crowd was swept away by this cold gaze, and immediately stopped talking.Unexpectedly, Hong Changqing smiled gently
said: "Lord Tisi is distressed that your fellow villagers were sunburned on the dock, so he came up with such a last resort
method, I will come out to meet you folks in the future."
He turned around again to greet Lord Zhizhou, and said cordially: "My lord really doesn't want to alarm the place
I've got it all with my heart, but please take you back first."
On the cliff not far from the city, there is a white figure struggling to climb up
The word force may not be appropriate for the use of land, because the one lined with the stone wall is just a small white spot man, upward
Climbing the ground is very easy, the toes are slightly kicked, the fingers are slightly bent, and the whole body is close to the slippery stone wall, like a stream
The moving curve generally goes up, and you can't see a little bit of struggle at all.
This man seems to be very familiar with this inaccessible area, full of bird's nests and stone walls of the mossy ground, and has chosen
The path of the ground is also extremely accurate, even where he lands, there is no hesitation, as if he knows where
There is a protrusion under the stone, where the doubt can be settled.
Needless to say, this person is naturally out of the white sail big ship Fan Xian.
When he was a child, he began to climb cliffs under the supervision of Wuzhudi, and he continued to climb cliffs until he was sixteen years old
Di Chenguang, he is all spent on this cliff, of course, he is familiar with every grass and tree here
Palm prints on the ground.
He hadn't climbed for more than two years, and Fan Xianping was breathing on his own, close to the long-lost land
The stone cliffs, long lost in the seabirds and dirt, climb upwards.
It didn't take long for him to stand on the top of the highest cliff, looking down at the waves crashing beneath his feet
Stone, distant view of the city of Tangzhou.
He turned around, and was somewhat surprised to see a large cluster of small yellow flowers blooming on the ground, except that the flowers were more blooming
Outside, everything on the top of this cliff seems to have not changed in the slightest from two years ago.
Fan Xian sighed and sat down, resting his feet on the edge of the cliff on the treacherous high ground.
A faint worry and longing appeared in my heart.
Uncle Wuzhu is not here.
