"Guogong, my lords, the prefect's yamen has prepared a place to live, Guogong and all the adults have come from afar to work hard, please take a bath and change clothes, take a break, and then my Huzhou officials and gentry and people have prepared a banquet, this is to thank the Guogong and the adults for the people's suffering and rush to a heart, please Guogong and your lords must go to the banquet."
After Chang Yinglin welcomed Xia Xun and others into the prefect's yamen, he said diligently.
Huzhou is the last stop of disaster relief, and the local self-help measures are so effective, Xia Xun is very relieved and a little relieved, speaking of fatigue, he is really tired, this way, he is not a tour of the mountains and rivers, and he has rolled up his trouser legs and trekked on the front line of emergency rescue and disaster relief.
But when it came to the banquet, Xia Xun felt that it was inappropriate, he was stunned and said: "Lord Chang, this thing is not very appropriate, I am here to Huzhou to help the people, now" Chang Yinglin said with a smile: "Guogong, it is difficult to be gracious, but on the ground in Huzhou, the disaster relief is in order, and now the victims have been properly resettled."
Now the people who live outside the city will help them rebuild their houses and replant some crops as soon as the flood waters recede.
The Huzhou gentry helped the victims on their own, and they barely had to be satisfied, and they had no problem with the relief food sent by the Guogong, and this was the last stop of the Guogong's disaster relief, which was to celebrate the consummation of the Guogong's disaster relief merits.
This is not only for the people of Huzhou to thank Guogong, but also for the fathers and elders of the disaster-stricken provinces in Zhejiang, thank Guogong and all the adults, how can Guogong cold the hearts of Huzhou fathers and elders?"
"The prince is here, please" Chang Zhifu led Xia Xun to his residence, waiting for an opportunity to distance himself from others a little, lowered his voice, and said quickly: "Jinyiwei commanded Ji Gang, who is the sister-in-law of the lower official, and the lower official has admired the name of the prince for a long time from his sister-in-law, but he is just disappointed.
It's rare to see each other today, and the government must accept the official's intentions."
After speaking, he snorted, raised his voice and said: "It's getting late today, and the prince and the adults are tired, so it's not appropriate to ask about business anymore."
Early in the morning, Xia Guan will report the situation in Huzhou to the Guogong and all the adults, and if the Guogong intends to go to the countryside to take a walk, the Xia Guan will accompany the Guogong to go."
Although Chang Yinglin wanted to slap Xia Xun, he didn't want Xia Xun to stay in Huzhou for too long, he was worried that some Diao people, who were not afraid of death, would run to Guogong to accuse him of his black state.
Today's welcome scene, he took a lot of thought and prepared for a long time in advance.
If Xia Xun is not at ease, he has to go to the countryside to see, he has also prepared in advance, and has drawn up a few places, Xia Xun has never been to Huzhou, which village and which town to go to, he knows that Ming'er does not have to let himself arrange, but if Xia Xun can be dragged in Huzhou City for a long time, presumably he will not go to the place to inspect, it has reached the last stop, and the disaster relief here is in order, he is not in a hurry to return to Beijing As for the gentry in Huzhou City, he is not worried, although there are many gentry who are dissatisfied with his behavior of abandoning the disaster victims, but they are dissatisfied, after all, those gentry do not have the pain of the skin, and they will not tear their faces and do it with him for this, of course, just in case, he still made two preparations, the first is to exclude those officials and gentry who are particularly bad with him, and do not let them come to greet them at all, and do not let them contact the court officials of the auxiliary state and his party.
The second hand is that as early as a few days ago, he instructed Chu Meng and other gentry who were in collusion with him to let out the wind, saying that his sister-in-law was Lord Ji of Jinyiwei, and Fu Guogong was Lord Ji's old boss.
The gentry and people of Huzhou did not know that they were not afraid to listen to these words, and it was strange that there was this, even if some of the gentry who originally planned to sue him for blackness, they had to retract their heads and squat honestly.
Xia Xun stopped talking when he heard this, obviously acquiescing to the proposition of the Chang Governor's Mansion, and the Chang Governor's Mansion happily sent several court officials to the West Chamber, the room had already been arranged, the bedding was all new, and even the girls and subordinates waiting in the room were all matched, and they stood there in a proper manner.
These Beijing officials are accustomed to being waited in Beijing, but this time it is very hard to go to eastern Zhejiang for disaster relief, not to mention any enjoyment, and now when they arrive in Huzhou, they are very happy to see that the prefect is so attentive to greet them.
The officials bathed and changed their clothes, changed into light soft robes, and then the officials of Huzhou Mansion accompanied them to drink a cup of tea, eat some snacks, and chatted about the day, the sky was dark, and the Chang Governor took a few gentry to welcome him in with a smile, and made a gesture to Xia Xun, Xia Yuanji, Yu Shiji and others, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet has been prepared, and all the officials and gentry of Huzhou are waiting for it."
Xia Xun and Xia Yuanji and the others glanced at each other, then put down the teacup and stood up one after another.
Chang Zhifu led Xia Xun and others to a banquet and entertainment hall, it is estimated that this is the largest living room in the Yamen of Huzhou Governor's Mansion, there are more than 20 tables in it, and there is a huge vacant position in the middle.
The banquets were placed on both sides, there were three empty tables in front of them, and the other tables were already full of people.
Xia Xun, Xia Yuanji and others also arched their hands, led by the prefect of the Chang Mansion, and sat down separately, and the guests of the rest of the seats sat down one after another.
Xia Xun looked at this hall and pavilion, the carved beams and painted buildings, the caisson wells were gorgeous, several tables and chairs, the paint was bright and clean, it was really luxurious and rich, and it was a rare place in this place.
Chang Zhifu got up first to make a speech, and said hard work to Xia Xun and his party in Beijing, and the left and right officials and gentry immediately agreed, and said a few words in a chaotic manner.
Xia Xun got up, pressed his hands, stopped everyone's compliments, and said some words of encouragement and appeasement to the Huzhou gentry.
Several local officials such as the Chang Governor's Mansion are very good at talking, and when they say their words, they make people feel dazed and drunk, and Chu Meng and other Huzhou gentry represent the local people, and they also get up from time to time to toast, and the atmosphere is quickly lively.
In the center of the living room, the red carpet is paved, and the front and back rows of twelve dancers with flowers and moons and large sleeves and streamers are like fairies in the moon.
The tooth board in the two compartments is tapped, the sheng pipe is low, the silk bamboo string pipe, and the elegant sound is played in unison, which makes people fascinated.
Chang Yinglin twisted his beard, secretly glanced at Xia Xun, and saw that he was sitting in danger, as if he was a little fascinated by the song and dance, so he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Grandpa Guo, Huzhou is the last place for Guogong disaster relief, fortunately, my Huzhou is not seriously affected, and the people still have to live in peace. ” "Uh-huh" Xia Xun came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Thank you for the good intentions of the government and Taiwan, the emperor is anxious about the flood in eastern Zhejiang, and the prince can't stay here for a long time."
This time, the disaster relief in various places, judging from the current situation, is indeed the most effective Huzhou, and these situations are presented to the emperor by the national government.
Ming, my country's public will listen to your Huzhou government talk about the disaster relief situation, and then choose two places to see, it's almost the same.
Although the disaster situation in your Huzhou Mansion is not extremely serious, and self-help is still timely, it is not idle to do at the moment.
Dredging the river, draining the stagnant water, relocating the victims to return to their hometowns, building houses, plowing the fields, and replanting autumn grains are all extremely important things. ” Chang Yinglin was secretly happy when he heard this, and he promised with a mouthful, and then said tentatively: "Since this is the case, it is better to say that it is better to ask Guogong to go to Wucheng and Gui'an to have a look."
"Wucheng, Gui'an" Xia Xun groaned, he suddenly remembered Nanxun, remembered Xiaoye'er Village, the past was vivid, and suddenly appeared in front of him.
Ten years have passed, as if this life and previous life are so far away, and an inexplicable impulse suddenly swelled in his heart, he wanted to go to Xiaoye'er Village to have a look.
Now that ten years have passed, his appearance and temperament have changed greatly, besides, people are similar, even if the people of Xiaoye'er Village see him, who dares to recognize the country as the Xia Xun ten years ago Seeing him groaning, Chang Zhifu thought that he was not familiar with the geography of this area, so he said: "These two places are just south of Huzhou, not far away, and belong to the larger counties under the jurisdiction of Huzhou.
Xia Xun couldn't make up his mind in his heart, so he said: "Hehe, these things, let's talk about them tomorrow, come, eat wine." ” Chang Yinglin hurriedly said: "Yes, Guogong, please drink" He took the cup and drank it all, watched Xia Xun take a sip, a pair of thief eyes slipped to the front of the table, and suddenly saw those red dress dancers retreating, but there was a woman in white in the middle who was rising up, one in and one retreat, all the red embraced a little white, although the woman in white was not like the red dress dancers who danced, the elegance and grace of the posture was even more beautiful, like standing out from the crowd, couldn't help but light up his eyes, and said happily: "Grandpa Guo, please see, this is my Huzhou Oiran Xi Si girl, and her singing voice is the most beautiful." ” "Oh" Xia Xun flashed his eyes, the red dress dancer had retreated, and on the red carpet, there was only a girl in a plain white robe, no makeup, no color silk, long figure, beautiful and vulgar, like a touch of new green in spring.
Chang Yinglin smiled and said: "Miss Xi Si, and slow singing, come and come, come forward, this one is the Father of the Auxiliary Kingdom, the Father of the Auxiliary Kingdom has worked tirelessly, the dust and dust, on behalf of the Son of Heaven to help the people, Miss Xi Silk on behalf of the people of Huzhou, a glass of wine for the Father of the Country" When the girl heard this, a pair of eyes were fixed on Xia Xun, those eyes were as clear as water, and the whole person was as clear and elegant as a touch of fresh snow on the top of Kunlun Mountain, which was extremely bright.
This is a happy woman, but without a trace of wind and dust, elegant and quiet, beautiful and compelling.
She glanced at Xia Xun fixedly, then walked towards Xia Xun, and walked to the banquet, Chang Yinglin had already handed over a glass of wine with a smile, Miss Xi Si took the cup in her hand, slowly stood up straight, stared at Xia Xun with a pair of bright eyes, and suddenly said: "You drink the blood of the people, eat the flesh of the people, and the countless souls who committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river are crying in your wine glass, Grandpa Guo, this wine, are you drinking fragrant?"
She flicked her wrist, and the glass of wine splashed on Xia Xun's face To be continued:
