Nightwatcher Chapter 190: 7 letters from Xu 7’an
In the night, the cold wind blows, and the full pool of red lotus is swaying, like a surging sea of fire, it is truly beautiful.
Xu Qi'an took a deep and silent breath, smelling the fragrant fragrance.
"Yunzhou is mountainous, but it's not like the vast forests and miasma in southern Xinjiang. The mountains are rich in herbs and rich in products." The Ziyang layman looked at the red lotus in the pond and continued:
"Yunzhou also has fertile fertile fields and abundant water. Although the annual output of rice is not as good as Yuzhou and Zhangzhou, the two areas known as Dafeng granaries, the annual rice in Yunzhou has been raised by the people of the two states. , More than enough."
...It sounds like Yunzhou should be hilly terrain. Xu Qi'an nodded suddenly.
Among the basic topography of the five continents, the hills are the most fertile and richest. The so-called land of fish and rice in the last life was in the Jiangnan hills.
Yuzhou and Zhangzhou, the two Dafeng granaries, belong to the plains, while southern Xinjiang is a mountainous terrain with high mountains everywhere and few fertile fields.
Jushi Ziyang said in a deep voice: "Yunzhou also has a geographical advantage. It is close to the South China Sea, so you don't need to worry about being attacked by the enemy. If you take a step back, it's really impossible. You can also set sail.
"The friction between the Witch God Sect and Dafeng is getting serious on the border. If they want to create civil strife and make Dafeng overwhelmed, it is a wise move to choose Yunzhou."
When you say that, how do I feel that this trip to Yunzhou is a trip to annihilation? Bah bah bah, Tong Yan Wu Ji, Tong Yan Wu Ji...
"Don't worry," As if seeing through Xu Qi'an's concern, Lay Ziyang laughed: "Although Dafeng's problem is serious, it's generally calm, and the court's majesty is still there.
"Even if the Sorcerer Sect is planning to make a plan in Yunzhou, he only dared to hide in the dark, not knowing it. During this period of time, I have nothing to do, and after a few eagles, I will give you one back. If it is Yunzhou In case of emergencies, you can use the eagle to pass the book. It is faster than the post road."
No matter how fast it is, it will take many days to come back and forth...Sure enough, a world without a mobile phone is insecure. It would be fine if people handed a piece of the book fragments...Xu Qi'an gratefully said: "Thank you teacher Great love."
After a pause, he asked: "What should I do when I go to Yunzhou?"
"A good investigation is to protect Zhang Xingying. As for the communication in the officialdom, you don't have to worry about it." The Ziyang layman said with a smile:
"Since Wei Yuan appointed Zhang Xingying as governor, this person will naturally not be an ordinary person."
Xu Qi'an nodded.
After finishing the business, the layman Ziyang pondered for a moment, and said: "I often have correspondence with Jinyan, and you are mentioned in the letters. You are also half a student of Yunlu Academy... I heard that the Academy has been a few months away. Qingqi rushed into the sky?"
Who is it? Oh, it's Erlang's teacher, the great scholar Zhang Shen...Because he is not used to the address, it took a few seconds for Xu Qi'an to realize which one is "Jinyan".
What do you mean by the words of Jushi Ziyang... Yunlu Academy didn't tell him the truth? Or he knew that I did it. He said this to give me a hint, but there is no need to hint... It’s because the correspondence cannot be kept secret, so the great scholars of Yunlu Academy only mentioned it in the letter, but Did not tell the truth?
He deliberately said: "This matter seems to be classified as the top secret by the Academy, and the Ashen Academy is still banned, and no one can enter."
Speaking of this, Xu Qi'an couldn't help thinking of the sub-sage who referred to the deer as the horse. He was really a great man, because he always stood behind his wife.
Jushi Ziyang nodded slightly and did not ask any more.
Xu Qi'an wanted to ask this great scholar about something. He thought about it and planned to ask the first question first:
"Teacher, because of the Sangbo case some time ago, I challenged night reading and flipped through the history books, and found out that before the first auxiliary of our line extinguished the Buddha, he shouted the slogan "Buddha is immortal, the world is Buddha".
"Then the first assistant was promoted to the life stage. The students thought, even if Buddhism has all kinds of drawbacks, it is always orthodox. Buddhism is immortal, and the world is Buddha... Is it too extreme?"
Xu Qi'an doesn't know the difference between Buddhism in this world and Buddhism in previous lives. There is no Buddha in this world, there is only one Buddha.
But no matter what, Buddhism is not a cult.
"This matter is about secrets, and I don't know." Ziyang Jushidao.
You don’t know, then how do you know that it’s about being secret? Xu Qi'an forcibly endured it.
Lady Ziyang "heh" said: "The dean knows."
Xu Qi'an's second question is why there are stone sculptures of Confucian saints in the Southern Xinjiang Polar Abyss, but he dispelled the idea of asking.
Xu Qi'an, who is in the capital, shouldn't know that there are sculptures of Confucian saints under Jiyuan, even with excuses like "I have a friend".
It's impossible to even know about this matter.
.....
Back to the inn, Xu Qi'an took a cold shower, and then went back to the room to sit and spit out, looking at the picture.
Qingzhou is adjacent to Yunzhou. If you start from here, you can get to Yunzhou in three or five days. Even considering Governor Zhang's weakness, he can reach the border of Qingzhou in about a week.
"Just use this time to hit the realm of refining the gods. Isn't it just not going to sleep for ten days? When I was an ordinary person, I achieved the achievement of 72 hours in the Internet cafe..."
The next day, the chief ambassador Yang Gong summoned stone masons and carved four lines of poems to warn hundreds of officials on the monuments in the front yards of various yamen in Qingzhou.
From the prefect of Qingzhou to ordinary officials, you can see these four lines of poems every day when you enter and exit the yamen.
"What is written on this?"
"You eat your food, and the people are fat. The people are easy to abuse, but the heaven is hard to deceive."
"Good poem, I have never read a book, so I can only say one thing: Niang Lai, the writing is really good. It was written by our chief ambassador, you are really an upright official."
"It's not the chief ambassador, but a person named Xu Qi'an. Well, there is a small print beside it: Shi Yang Gong. Oh oh, it's our chief ambassador's student."
This poem was written by Xu Qi'an, so he did it, but the layman Ziyang had a show, and he asked him to engrave three small characters on the left side of Xu Qi'an's name: Shi Yang Gong.
If the three great scholars of Yunlu Academy were present, they would vomit blood while roaring: Shameless old thief, can this also be rubbed?
Many officials who are honest and incorruptible are highly praised by this poem. Quietly remembered Xu Qi'an.
Xu Qi’an’s name spread rapidly in Qingzhou’s officialdom, and then many students and officials suddenly discovered that this character who wrote poems on the inscription was the one who wrote those poems that are known as the glory of the literary world two hundred years ago. Gifted.
The most jaw-dropping thing is that he is not a scholar, but a watchman.
But whether it is a Qingzhou official or a student, he is convinced by Xu Qi'an, admiring his poetic talent, and admiration of the spirit expressed in his poems.
When the girls from Jiaofangsi heard the news, their excitement and excitement filled their chests. One by one, they wished to burn incense and worship Buddha, praying that the talented Xu would be lucky to them, and left one or two verses.
Tell them to post them all willingly.
....
Outside Qingzhou city.
Jushi Ziyang and a group of senior officials in Qingzhou personally sent the governor team out of the city.
"After this farewell, I don't know how long and how long we can see each other, the teacher takes care." Xu Qi'an saluted as a disciple.
Jushi Ziyang nodded slightly, a little embarrassed, he had just recognized a student, and he was about to leave because he was still warm in his arms.
"Go to Yunzhou this time, handle the case well, always remember, serve the court, and serve the people of the world." Yang Gong said in a deep voice.
For the people of the world...Xu Qi'an silently repeated it in my heart.
.....
A few days later, Qingzhou border, post station.
At two o'clock in the morning, after finishing vomiting and visualization, Xu Qi'an, who had not slept for seven days, walked out of the room with a candle.
It was late at night, and the inside of the station was quiet. He followed the corridor to the end, and then down the stairs.
Beside the counter in the lobby, an oil lamp was quietly burning, and the postman was sleeping soundly on the table, with crystal clear liquid flowing out of his mouth.
The official inn is open 24 hours a day, and some officials will rush overnight due to urgent official duties, and they may not be able to stay in the inn at any time.
Boom...
Xu Qi'an clicked the counter lightly, making a dull voice.
The postman woke up, wiped the corners of his mouth and got up, "My lord, what's your order?"
"Give me some envelopes and letter paper, I want to write a letter." Xu Qi'an asked.
The postman immediately pulled out a piece of letter paper and envelope from the cabinet, Xu Qian shook his head: "Not enough."
"How much do you want?"
"Seven envelopes, the more stationery, the better."
For the first time, the postman saw someone writing seven letters in one breath, muttering something silently, and obediently handing out seven envelopes and letter paper.
Receiving the envelope and letter paper, Xu Qi'an turned upstairs and returned to the room.
He placed the envelope on the desk, took out the red lotus petals from the jade mirror, pressed the five petals on the five envelopes, spread the paper, pressed the paperweight, and rubbed the letter.
First letter.
"Princess Huaiqing:
"At the time of writing this letter, I had arrived at the border of Qingzhou and was about to enter Yunzhou. When I left Beijing, I wanted to discuss with His Highness and hear His Highness’s advice.
"But I don’t want the humble position to offend His Highness somehow, and make His Highness so cruel, behind closed doors.
"Through Yuzhou, Humble Service broke a corruption case... It can be seen from this case that the Sorcerer Sect has been eroding the court for a long time and has cultivated many spies secretly. Defense. I hope that His Majesty can persuade your Majesty to make every effort to reinvigorate the court.
"By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named red lotus, which blooms in mid-winter season. The red lotus's character is the essence of the silt but not stained. It is clear and not demon. It is straight without vines and branches. Tingting and Jingzhi, you can watch from a distance and not play with it.
"This reminds the humble servant of your majesty. I'm sorry, but the humble servant knows that this is a great disrespect to your highness. However, your majesty is exquisite, and you can only see it in the life of the humble servant. You are like a red lotus, out of silt but not stained. Not demon.
"The humble post picked a lotus flower and sent it to His Royal Highness with a letter, expressing his heart."
Second letter.
"Princess Lin'an:
"The long night is long and I don't want to sleep. His Highness's voice and smile are like in front of my eyes, ringing in my ears. I haven't seen you for half a month, I miss it.
"The trip to Yunzhou was not lonely. There were many interesting and bizarre things on the way. It turned out that there were water ghosts in the canal. On the way, a tiger guard boarded the deck at night. Suddenly, he heard that his mother called, so the ghost made a mess. Jump into the water.
"The water ghost stubbornly grabbed his ankle, trying to drag him into the bottom of the river. Fortunately, he was aware of his humble position and jumped into the river without hesitation. He fought the water ghost for three hundred rounds. He was only rescued by the turbid waves. Poor Hu Benwei.
"On the way from Qingzhou to Yunzhou, passing by a village, a strange incident happened in the village. After the death of a certain family’s daughter-in-law, she wandered around the room all day and night, growing dense white teeth and green and black nails. , Bite when you see someone....
"Fortunately, passing by in a humble position, I can see at a glance that the woman’s corpse must have a cause. After a thorough investigation, the truth can be found. It turned out that the husband had an affair with the village widow, and wanted to divorce his wife and marry another, but his wife was not willing, so he brutally killed .
"The wife died of grievances, but the ghost persisted, and then the corpse changed.
"By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Honglian, which is as coquettish as fire, and it always reminds the humble servant of his majesty wearing a red dress.
"It’s just like a princess. It’s **** (crossed out). It’s so bright as the wind and light and like an arrow, but when a gust of wind blows, it bows its head shyly, and a word comes into my heart: the most The gentleness of a bowed head is like the shyness of a water lotus flower that can not beat the cool breeze.
"The humble position is abrupt, and I have no intention of offending the princess. It is just the beauty of the princess, which is only seen in the humble position."
The third letter.
"Girl Plucking:
"A day is not seen like three autumns. If you count, we have not seen it for half a month. How is the chicken refining? Is there a smooth promotion to an alchemist?
"There is a delicacy in Yuzhou, called yellow sprouts ham. Ham is a unique delicacy in the south, which is hard to find in the north.
"The method is also very simple. Use good ham to peel off the skin, remove the oil and save the meat. First simmer the skin with chicken broth, then simmer the meat, put the yellow sprout heart, and cut the roots into sections, about two inches. Long; add honey, fermented wine and water, and simmer for half a day. The taste is sweet and fresh, the meat and vegetables are melted, and the roots and heart of the vegetables are not scattered. The soup is also beautiful.
"Qingzhou has several kinds of delicacies, let me come one by one...
"By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Honglian. This flower is bright and lively, blooming in the wind, and when it swings with the wind, it seems to be a bright smiling face. It reminds me of Miss Plucking.
"You are such a heartless and heartless (crossed out). You are such a girl who brings people happiness, carefree, innocent, and has a pair of clear and bright eyes, and forgets the common."
The fourth letter.
"Girl Fuxiang:
"I haven't seen you for half a month, I miss you very much. Miss your smile, miss your coat, miss you white Nako and the smell of you (crossed out)
"I haven’t seen you for half a month. I miss you very much. I have arrived at the border of Qingzhou and will arrive at Yunzhou tomorrow. On this journey, my colleagues have also invited me to Jiaofangsi, but I refused because there is no you. The Jiaofang Division is so boring.
"I can't help but remember, you and I are lingering day and night, and the love is deep, I whisper in your ear: I am good at ejaculation. You nodded shyly and timidly. That was our good time.
"The trip to Yunzhou is more time-consuming and labor-intensive than I thought. The time we met is very far away. I know that you want to be crazy. When you are too tired of love, please remember to get a manicure.
"By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Red Lotus. This flower burns like fire, and is as enthusiastic as you are, making people linger."
Xu Qi'an finished writing the letter to the spare tires, dried the ink, looked at the altered letter paper, and sighed helplessly.
Handwriting is like this. When you write, you will make typos, or write something that should not be written. When he was young writing essays, he had already made such mistakes.
It doesn't matter, these are women who know him well, and won't be disgusted by his ugly handwriting.
I am still very satisfied with the content, and write different content for the different personalities of the spare tires. For example, Huai Qing likes current affairs, so he writes cases.
Lin'an likes to listen to stories, so he writes about strange things along the way.
Chu Caiwei is a foodie, so I talked about food with her.
As for the fragrance, rolling over the sheets so many times, writing letters is more like flirting, that's enough.
Next is a letter to his family. Xu Qi'an kept it until the end. After repeated consideration, he dipped in ink and picked up a pen.
The fifth letter.
"Sister Lingyue:
"Brother Wei is very good outside, just miss you a little bit. Since childhood, Brother Wei has not left you for more than three days. Of course, he has never left his second uncle and aunt.
"Can you still adapt to life in the inner city? The inner city is expensive, not as expensive as the outer city, but don't be wronged~IndoMTL.com~Go out and go to the silk and satin shops and jewelry shops.
"When I left, I left aunt three hundred taels of silver, enough for the family to spend a while. Well, the eldest brother is not at home, and Erlang is in the academy again. You have to remember to make your own decisions about some things, don’t just listen to you. Stupid mother.
"If my aunt proposes to let you marry again, you can ask her to return me three hundred taels of silver, and ask her to return the silk and satin to me. My eldest brother does not want to go home and find that you are married.
"By the way, there is a kind of flower in Qingzhou, named Red Lotus, which is as beautiful and refined as you, gentle and beautiful."
The sixth letter.
"Auntie:
"Please take care of the ringtone, over!"
The seventh letter.
"Second Uncle:
"I am fine outside. At the time of writing this letter, I just arrived at the border of Qingzhou. What will happen in Yunzhou is currently unknown.
"Don't worry, man, you always have to go through some twists and turns. You and my dad were fighting on the battlefield.
"I'm currently attacking the God Refining Realm. I hope that when I return to Beijing, your second uncle will also be promoted to the God Refining Realm smoothly. By then, my Xu family will have two gods, and it will be very impressive to hear.
"Oh, besides, I suddenly remembered that you don’t know a lot of Chinese characters. Didn’t you fail to write to farewell? I always thought that your father’s heart naturally remembered his son, so I didn’t write to him. He, we have moved...nothing, half a month has passed anyway, and now we should know where we have moved.
"I hope I am more concerned."
After writing the letter, Xu Qi'an folded the letter paper and put the red lotus petals into the envelope one by one.
.....
PS: I ask for a monthly pass. This chapter will contain five thousand words. When I ask for a monthly pass, I stick my waist and feel confident.
