Chapter 170 Going to the Banquet
All patrols and appeasement?
Hearing this, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help frowning. He really didn't expect that the incident behind Lin Mo Niang was connected with the two important ministers in southern Fujian.
As a transshipment envoy, he has to be restrained by appeasement envoys, but the good thing is that he has a token given by the official, which can also act cheaply.
Lin Mo Niang's father is a patrol inspector and is in charge of the training of Jiashi in the four cities near the sea on Fujian Road. If it can be used for himself, this trip to southern Fujian may reduce a lot of difficulties.
After thinking about it, Yang Yanzhao made up his mind for the future.
After a moment of rest, I got into the carriage and continued to rush on the road. At sunset, if I couldn't reach Nanjian City, I would have to camp in the forest.
For good reason is that Lin Mo Niang is quite familiar with the terrain of southern Fujian. After taking a short journey, when the last remnants of the city enter the mountains outside the city, the group of people came to Jiannan City.
There is not much difference from Jianzhou City. Jiannan City also seems to be a little depressed. Walking in it, passers-by are wary. From time to time, they can see ordinary people wearing ghost masks, dancing randomly, saying words, and kneeling with devout ordinary people.
"Hey..."
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo, who lifted the curtain, sighed, and his words were full of desolation.
"What's the matter, Mo Niang."
Hearing this slight coolness, Luo's daughter couldn't help asking softly and shrinking her body back into the car. Lin Mo Niang seemed to be a little painful. "Sister Luo, Mo Niang is feeling heartache for the people here. There is no big or small. They are all convinced by the words of the witch religion. Even if the body is sick, she is not looking for a way to save the disease. She just blindly listens. Believe in these fictitious witches.
Seeing her like this, Luo's daughter couldn't help but be moved with compassion. "Mo Niang, things will always be fine. If there are difficulties, let my sister help you. Although Luo Qing has no other strengths, he still knows how to save people."
"Yes, Sister Lin, Sister Luo's medical skills are superb, and the sixth brother is now a transshipment envoy. Although I don't know how old the fish is, the sixth brother will definitely help you.
It's also with fish and exhaust. Although we are young, we are very good at reaching out.
Bamei said very seriously. The old appearance on her childish face made Lin Mo Niang a little embarrassed and hurriedly said, "Mo Niang is here to thank Luo's sister, fish and exhaust."
After a night's rest in Jiannan City, Yang Yanzhao and others continued to go on the road at dawn, and finally arrived in Fuzhou City.
Before entering the city, Lin Mo Niang was a little worried. Fortunately, Luo's daughter helped her make some changes and changed her clothes. Now she looks like Yang Yanzhao's family.
The city gun is built on the mountain. The blue-brown masonry is thick and solid, and the city gate is as red as new, reflecting the afterglow and shining with a dazzling blush. Compared with other cities, Fuzhou City is indeed much tall and majestic.
In the city, the houses are too high, without the atmosphere of red walls and green tiles in the middle soil, but more rough and unruly. At this time, although it is already sunset, people still come and go, and it is very lively.
After walking for a while, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but be a little surprised that Fuzhou City actually gathered people from all over the world. The Central Plains people in silk are buying cloth and silverware brought by Middle-earth, and there are also people wearing black high hats and broad-like Confucian robes. They learned from Lin Moniang that they are merchants with cross-toeds, and there are also witch believers wearing masks in groups passing by on the street.
"This is really a good place for people to show their skills."
With a sigh, Yang Yanzhao began to find a place to stay. Today, it was too late to visit the appeasement, so he began to look for an inn to stay.
Fortunately, there are many business trips. There are still several inns and restaurants in Fuzhou City. Although the layout is very different from that of the Central Plains, it is also a welcome business.
I asked for some food and had a meal. I was about to take a rest, but there was a knock on the door. I stepped forward and opened the door, but it was the inn's clerk with a servant.
"But Lord Yang?"
When the other party said so, Yang Yanzhao immediately understood that this was the person who appeased Qian Bai. As the ruler of Fuzhou and even the whole land of southern Fujian, he may have known his movements since he entered Fuzhou.
"It's the official, I don't know..."
Although the person came made a salute, there seemed to be no respect in his words. "The villain is the bodyguard who appeases the envoy. When the lord learned that Lord Yang had arrived in Fuzhou, he specially set up a banquet to clean up the dust for Lord Yang."
This person's words don't have the sound of southern Fujian. It seems that he is a cronies of the appeasement envoy. No wonder he doesn't show his face to himself. It seems that this appeasement envoy is covering the sky on Fujian Road.
After thinking about it for a moment, Yang Yanzhao couldn't help but look at it. "It's troublesome to appease the adult. When I clean up a little, I'll go with you."
After the bodyguard went downstairs, Yang Yanzhao straightened his clothes against the rough and blurred bronze mirror in the room, and then went to the next door to talk to Luo's girl and others, and then took Xiao Muchen downstairs.
At this time, it was getting late, but the noise in the market had not faded. The lamplight dissipated the quietness of the night, and the vendors were still shouting at the traffickers, as if they were going to sell all the goods in their hands today.
With the guard's walk for about two hours, a eaves powder appeared in front of him, hanging lanterns, and an elegant courtyard. The red pillar of the courtyard door said 'Listen to the tide near the sea, raise your glass to the moon'. A few green trees reflected the wall. In this many pieces of masonry, Minnan is a rare freshness.
"Lord Yang, you are waiting in the 'near sea courtyard'."
The bodyguard knocked on the door, made a gesture of invitation, and took Yang Yanzhao to the yard. Suddenly, the eyes were full of flowers and plants with eaves and corridors, and the pavilions and streams were gurgling, which was a quiet and elegant scenery.
Is it possible that this appeasement is also a person with good elegance?
Things follow human nature, and the yard is arranged like this. Yang Yanzhao can't help guessing in his heart that if this appeasement is a literati in his bones, he will be in some trouble in southern Fujian.
Since ancient times, there have been countless ruthless people. Moreover, in the land of southern Fujian, they are definitely not ordinary people. One mountain does not allow two tigers. The things that Zhao Guangyi has been handed over are all done by the appeasement, and if he completes it, he will definitely surpass it.
Even if there is a token in hand, the other party has been in southern Fujian for many years. It is extremely difficult to shake it. Thinking of this, Yang Yanzhao can't help but feel a bit of pressure in his heart.
After the eaves, in the pavilion by the pool, there was a big lantern hanging at this time. Before approaching, I saw several people talking inside.
There is no need for the bodyguard to say more. Yang Yanzhao asked Xiao Muchun to wait aside, and he strode forward. "Yang Jing has seen you."
Hearing the sound, the three people in the pavilion got up and came over. The head had half a hundred beards, wearing a black square hat and a black printed cardigan, while the other two were tied with jade hairpins and wrapped in robes.
"Is this the new champion of my dynasty? What a talent!"
Yang Yanzhao immediately knew that he was the appeasement of Fujian Road, Qian Bai and Qian Zhiyou, so he saluted again, "The younger generation has seen the comforter."
"Ha ha, Lord Yang, don't be like this. You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we are colleagues." Qian Bai smiled with his beard. Although he didn't need to be polite, he didn't mean to help Yang Yanzhao.
"The adult killed Yang Jing. The younger generation's breasts are not dry, and they are not very thorough. In the future, I hope you can mention that if the adults don't give up, you can delay Zhao to call the younger generation."
Hearing this sentence, Qian Bai's laughter was a little more red. The two people on one side looked at each other and smiled.
"Since Yan Zhao said this, I will rely on this crazy age." Later, he pointed aside and said, "This is the judicial army, Qiu Gusu, and this is Cao Yu, Yu Ping, Yu Yuanhe. Both of them came to take care of Lord Yang."
Qiu Yu is the tall and thin middle-aged man. He joined the army and is responsible for the imprisonment of Fujian Road, so there is always a trace of sharpness between his eyebrows, while Yu Ping is a little short and fat, squinting and smiling.
After a few words of greeting, they entered their seats separately, and Qian Bai also made people put wine and vegetables. "Yanzhao, the food in southern Fujian is very different from my Central Plains. I and Gusu are not used to coming here for the first time. Fortunately, they brought the people in the house. Although it is difficult to find the ingredients and seasonings here, they can also make some of their hometown. It tastes good."
While talking, there are already a lot of dishes on the table, but it is those familiar steamed and fried foods that make these days full of tasteless local food in southern Fujian. Now when I see these familiar dishes, I feel a sense of intimacy.
Full of wine, Qian Bai raised his glass with a smile, "Minnan is barbaric. Yanzhao came here. I am here with thin wine in the cup to show the wind and wash the dust. I also hope that we can work together and work for the court in the future."
At this point, Yang Yanzhao answered, "Thank you, Your Excellency, Yang Jing should be like this."
After a few cups, it is not easy to talk about poetry and songs. Sure enough, this money is still very talented. Even Qiu Yu and Yu Ping are easy to say elegant words.
After three rounds of drinking, Yang Jing's face was flushed, and his eyes were blurred. Even his mouth was a little unclear. "Your Excellency, the two brothers, Yang Jing first came to Minnan, and the official family ordered me to be in charge of the Cao Division. These days, I feel more and more that there is no way to start. Can you give me some advice and help the younger generation?"
Hearing the words, Qian Bai, who was drinking, put down the cup in his hand. Qiu Yu also cast his eyes. On the contrary, Yu Ping was still smiling. "Brother Yanzhao, my brother asked me to be in charge of the warehouse of Fujian Road. The previous financial affairs were approved by the adult. I will watch it by the way. Today, my brother came, and tomorrow I will send someone to settle the account. I'll give you the keys to the book and the treasury.
When he picked up the wine, Yang Yanzhao knotted his tongue and said to Yu Ping, "It turned out that Yuan and his brother had done this, and the younger brother was much more at ease. In the future, he would have to talk more about his brother. No wonder."
Yu Ping raised his glass with a smile and said, "We are all doing things for the court. Why does Yan Zhao need to be so polite?"
