After taking a short rest, everyone except Yu Wenyun had a simple dinner, then washed up and went back to their rooms - many people had altitude sickness, poor appetite, and were listless, but Fu Xiaoguan was the worst. No problem, he was in good spirits after taking a bath.
The moon is bright tonight, especially on this plateau. It feels closer to the sky, so the moon seems to have become a little bigger.
Fu Xiaoguan went down to the second floor and was looking up at the moon in the courtyard. Deng Xiu came over and bowed respectfully: "I'm seeing Master Fu. I wonder if Master Fu is satisfied with Xiaguan Yiying's arrangements? If you have any requests, please feel free to ask. I will try my best to serve you well."
Fu Xiaoguan withdrew his gaze, looked at Deng Xiu and said with a smile: "Don't mess with the superiors and the inferiors. I am attending the literary gathering as a scholar. You don't need to be polite to me. I am not a person who cares about etiquette. …This place is our embassy?”
"Sir, it is true that we have only three envoys to Wu Dynasty, and you have already met them. We usually hold official business here. If Wu Dynasty has any requirements for our country, we will send people here. If our dynasty has any proposals for Wu dynasty, we will go to the imperial city to submit the proposal to the corresponding official office, and even meet the emperor."
It was similar in nature to the former embassy. Fu Xiaoguan nodded thoughtfully. The two came to a stone table and sat down - their buttocks were a little cold!
"How long have you been here?" Fu Xiaoguan asked with concern.
"Three years and three months."
"Are you still used to it?"
"Sir, this job is actually very easy. The contacts between our dynasty and Wu dynasty are not close. Today's reception is the first time in the past three years for Xianguan. So if there are any deficiencies, please let me know. Please bear with me, sir.”
Deng Xiu was not as casual as Fu Xiaoguan said. He already knew Fu Xiaoguan's identity and understood that the young man in front of him was the real upstart in the Yu Dynasty!
He can't afford to offend him. You know what this young man is thinking. It's okay for him to say that, but if he really does it, he won't leave an unimportant impression in his mind.
Fu Xiaoguan no longer bothered with the issue of the title of Shangguan and Xiaoguan. He asked again: "Do you have a family in Shangjing?"
"My lord, Xiaguan's family members are not in Shangjing - to be honest, Shangjing is not a place where people like Xiaguan can stay. Xiaguan is a native of Yongning City, Yongning Prefecture, Shanxi Province. He was born in Xuanli In the first year of the reign of Emperor Xuanli, Enke was admitted to the imperial examination, and then waited for two years. In the third year of the Xuanli calendar, he found a job as the official of Bo, the master of Honglu Temple. He came here at the beginning of the sixth year of the Xuanli calendar, and went back once."
Fu Xiaoguan suddenly thought that Gong Shengchang had looted Yongning City, so he asked again: "How is your family situation? How many wives and concubines do you have? How many children do you have?"
Deng Xiu was startled, how could this young upstart ask about such a private matter? But since Fu Xiaoguan asked, he could only answer: "Sir, Xiaguan's family is fairly well off. He has a wife, a concubine, and two sons. Xiaguan got married when he was a candidate, and his two sons were also there. Occasionally, in the winter of the seventh year of Xuan Li, I took a concubine when I went home to visit my family, and later I received a letter saying that I had given birth to a daughter."
Speaking of this commonplace, Deng Xiu's face showed a touch of warmth, "I haven't seen my daughter yet, and I'm thinking about asking the Ministry of Rites for a leave next year to go back and see her."
Fu Xiaoguan did not mention the changes that happened in Yongning City. He also smiled and said: "After living in a foreign country for a long time, it is inevitable to feel homesick. You should really go back often..." He suddenly changed the topic and asked: "The embassies of Fan State, Yi State and Huang Ren are also on this street?"
"The embassies of Fan State and Yi State are in the inner city. Only the embassies of Huang State and our dynasty are in the middle city. The Huang State is more remote than us. They are in Duanshui, which is located at the intersection of the middle city and the outer city. Qiaoxiang - There are three small countries in that place, all to the east of Wu Dynasty. Two of them are along the coast, and the other one is on the island. It is too far away from our country, so our country does not have their permanent presence. Embassy."
Fu Xiaoguan was startled, a coastal country? This is important information. If you have time in the future, you should talk to the envoys of these three countries.
The territory of the Yu Dynasty did not have an outlet to the sea. This was a huge shortcoming. The Yangtze River must return to the sea. This matter must be clarified.
As for the Wu Dynasty placing the Yu Dynasty's embassy in the middle city, it seems that the Wu Dynasty paid more attention to Fan and Yi than the Yu Dynasty. The most critical factor here was national strength.
He didn't know the national strength of these two countries. He knew that Fan State's territory was very large, but Yi State's territory was only one-third of the Yu Dynasty!
This Yi country dared to raise troops to invade the Yu Dynasty, which shows that the national power of the Yi country is indeed superior to the Yu Dynasty.
A weak country has no diplomacy. This is a true portrayal. It is extremely difficult for Deng Xiu and the others to come here.
Fu Xiaoguan currently has no way to change this situation. He asked again: "Please pay more attention to this cultural gathering and the birthday celebration for the Empress Dowager of the Wu Dynasty."
"I'll keep this in mind, I'm still waiting for you to make a name for me in the Yu Dynasty during the literary meeting."
Fu Xiaoguan smiled noncommittally, "It's late at night, let's take a rest."
"I resign!"
Deng Xiu stood up and left. Fu Xiaoguan stared at the bright moon with his hands on his knees, still not sleepy.
……
There are many people who are also not sleepy.
Wu Ling'er was eating candied fruit in the Queen's Zhengyang Palace and talking happily about the brand new poem that Fu Xiaoguan composed in Fanning City.
Thousands of miles away in the Sword Forest, on the top of the Sword Mountain, the head of the Sword Forest, Lu Xiaofeng, looked at the body of his eldest disciple Zuo Henhua with a desolate look on his face. He had been looking at it for two days and two nights!
He couldn't understand what kind of weapon the hole in Zuo Henhua's forehead was injured by. He thought for a long time, and then looked to the south - there were a group of mountains there, and there was a temple in the mountains. Could it be that it was a temple? Has the Lord ever been to a border town?
Is it possible that Guanzhu has developed the legendary magical power of snapping his fingers?
Since the master of the temple is protecting Fu Xiaoguan, I will kill him for you to see!
"Come here!..."
It was night, and the three guardians of Jianlin left Jianshan and headed for Guanyun City.
Zhuo Donglai did not fall asleep that night.
Wearing white clothes and standing alone in Lanxi, he quietly looked at the bright moon reflected in Lanxi.
What Wu Ling'er said to Fu Xiaoguan in Fancheng has reached his ears, I will support you... So, Ling'er's heart is with Fu Xiaoguan, so the story of childhood sweethearts is a lie. Human!
As an outstanding figure of the young generation in the Wu Dynasty literary world, he has always been very proud and has always protected the delicate relationship with Wu Ling'er.
As the eldest grandson of the largest family in Guanyun City, he has worked hard since he was a child - practicing martial arts, studying hard, and trying to become the brightest star in the Wu Dynasty.
He succeeded, but lost to Fu Xiaoguan, a small Linjiang landowner he had never even met!
He picked up a stone and threw it into the Lanxi River. The calm stream rippled and tore the full moon into pieces. He smiled sadly - the feelings of these childhood sweethearts were as fragile as the moon in the water. All it takes is a small pebble and it disappears!
