Hello Chang’an

Chang Sui Ning first entered the city, and the road was relatively smooth. However, as the news of her return spread, more and more people came to greet her, and the road began to become blocked and difficult to travel.

The news spread to a teahouse, and the guests drinking morning tea were overjoyed and left the teahouse one after another.

The waiter's heart also flew, and he said to the shopkeeper who was dozing at the counter: "...Shopkeeper, I want to pay!"

As soon as the voice fell, he hurried out.

The shopkeeper hadn't yet reacted: "...What's wrong? I won't allow anyone to do business!"

A customer who walked slowly reminded: "Didn't the shopkeeper listen? It's the governor who is back!"

The teahouse owner shuddered suddenly, his eyes widened, his beard trembled in surprise, and he immediately ran out.

—What kind of business are you still doing? What debts are you chasing? Today’s tea money is all waived for him!

Outside the teahouse, there was a lot of excitement.

The old flower seller carrying the flower basket was snatched away before he could reach the flower market.

The old man was holding the money from the sale, and looking at the basket in front of him that had been robbed without even a single leaf left and was still shaking, he suddenly came back to his senses and said, "...you should leave one for me too!"

As he spoke, he picked up the basket and hurriedly joined the crowd rushing in the same direction.

Changsui Ning entered the city at first light without making any announcement in advance, but she did not expect that she would still "disrupt the people" to this point. The scene at the moment made her understand that she had underestimated the diligence and enthusiasm of the people of Jiangdu.

Soon after entering the city, Chang Suining realized this, so she ordered a temporary delay. While letting He Wuhu lead the people to evacuate as much as possible, she asked Hao Huan to go back to the governor's office to send a message, and asked the governor's office to send out officials to maintain the city. order to avoid crowding and stampede chaos.

Halfway through the journey, the situation in front was already under control. Officials came all the way and dispersed the crowd to both sides.

Amid the commotion, a slender woman wearing a dark green robe with a hosta in her hair came towards him on horseback, with a group of official officials behind her.

The woman dismounted from her horse and brought her official servant to Chang Suining, raising her hand and saluting: "Come here to welcome the Governor back to your home!"

Chang Suining sat on the back of a white colt and nodded to people who came by.

We haven't seen her for more than half a year, but Ran Nu Shi in her house seems to be more and more able to take charge of her own business, and she has the aura of an official in her every move.

Yao Ran raised her head, revealing a face full of smiles - she was not a person who liked to laugh, and usually showed herself calm, but at this moment her eyes were full of joy, and she was even so happy that the corners of her eyes turned red unconsciously.

After receiving Chang Suining's signal, Yao Ran remounted his horse, turned the horse's head, came to Chang Suining's side, and followed two steps behind.

Soon, Chang Ren and Deputy General Jin also came to greet him, and they all followed Chang Suining and walked slowly to the Governor's Mansion.

He Wuhu was bathed in the cheers and rain of flowers, and his face was almost broken with laughter - this time, he didn't steal it, and he no longer had to feel guilty!

But this guilt did not disappear, but was transferred to another person.

Looking at everything around her, Kang Zhi sat on the horse, her back straight and her big, deep eyes with thick eyelashes not daring to blink, as if she had become a doll.

This was her first time coming to Jiangnan. Everywhere she saw made her unable to take her eyes away.

The charming spring day in the south of the Yangtze River, coupled with the elegant buildings, prosperous streets, and enthusiastic people... made her feel like she was in a fairy painting, and saw the fairy's brush bringing up the colorful ink and swaying it towards her. Come.

At the same time, there were goose-yellow flowers that she couldn't name that fell on her body.

Kang Zhi subconsciously took it in her arms. When she raised her eyes, she saw a group of ladies pointing at her and saying to Yourong: "...Look, those are the heroines of our Chang Jishi!"

Kang Zhi almost felt guilty and said: "I, I'm not..."

"It will be!" Shepherd's Purse turned his head and smiled at her.

Kang Zhi's eyes flashed, and her dark cheeks were rosy under the shining golden sunlight.

She originally had a wild and brave temperament, but when she came to this warm mountain and soft water place today, she became a little embarrassed when she saw this scene. Only then did she speak and asked shepherd's purse: "Commander, what do those ladies do?" ?”

She saw women of various ages, most of whom had their arms tied with various colors, some even rolled up their sleeves, exposing half of their forearms, and their hair was neatly wrapped, making them look very neat.

Their clothes are very ordinary, and some of them wear coarse cloth and are patched, but they are all washed clean. Even if someone has paint on their hands and face, it can't hide the sparkle in their eyes - those eyes give people a sense of vitality.

"You can do anything!" Shen Cai said: "In our Jiangdu city, all women can go out to work!"

Kang Zhi was a little surprised. She had never heard of it in Guandong, a place with strong folk customs. Moreover, this was Jiangnan, the Central Plains where Confucianism was prevalent... This was different from what she had heard before.

But she soon understood and subconsciously looked up at the girl in green robe in front of her.

Soon, her eyes were drawn to a group of people in front of them. Those people were wearing uniform green and white gowns, and they were both men and women. There were older and calm people, and there were also young men and women with energetic faces.

Kang Zhi couldn't help but ask: "Commander, what do those people do?"

Shepherd's Purse was also a little unsure. Yao Ran in front turned around and replied with a smile: "They are the students from Wuer Academy."

Kang Zhi looked at Yao Ran who turned around.

The young woman has a beautiful appearance, and the long scar on her cheek is a bit eye-catching, but what is more eye-catching is her calm and calm demeanor.

"Wueryuan...I've heard of it!" Kang Zhi came back to her senses and nodded hurriedly.

At this time, they happened to pass by the group of blue and white people. Kang Zhi looked at the long robes on those people and praised: "Their clothes are so beautiful!"

It was a material she had never seen in Guandong. It was as fluttering as a fairy, as soft as a heavenly garment, and elegant and elegant.

"It's a new material that came out of the silk weaving workshop last month, just in time to make spring shirts for the students." Yao Ran said with a smile: "There is still a lot left in the house. I will give it to Commander Hao to make clothes for you."

Yao Ran didn't recognize Kang Zhi, but to her, any female soldier under an adult's command was worthy of her friendly treatment.

Kang Zhi gave a rare embarrassed smile and whispered: "I don't have to..."

She had already received a lot without doing anything, so much that it made her feel ashamed... Since she was born, she had never received so much kindness and been treated with kindness by so many people.

Yao Ran has turned his head, and hastened his horse two steps to catch up with Chang Suining: "Sir..."

Chang Suining looked at the scene ahead and nodded lightly: "Very good."

"It's better than I imagined." Chang Suining turned his head and smiled at Yao Ran: "In the past six months, what you have done has been more careful than what was written in the letter."

Along the way, she has seen a lot, but these many new sights can be summed up in two words: progress.

The special current situation and government orders, with the hard work of a group of dedicated people, have created an amazing enterprising spirit in this already nutritious and fertile land. Chang Suining breathed in the vitality in the air, with infinite hope in his heart, and his eyes became more determined.

Jiangdu could be reborn after the war, and she believed Dasheng would be able to do the same.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Outside the gate of the Governor's Mansion where everyone was waiting, Chang Kuo walked around on a crutch, stretching his neck even further: "It's already noon!"

What's the matter with these common people? They don't care if they don't go home for lunch, but they don't care whether the governor wants to have lunch or not?

Chang Kuo said, stood still, tapped the crutch in his hand anxiously, and then held the crutch in front of him like a knife.

Wang Yue advised from the side: "Master Hou, please be patient and don't be impatient. This is exactly what the people want..."

Luo Ze also gave a few gentle words of advice, and diligently held Chang Kuo's arm - this was his grandmother's instructions, so that he could be more discerning and not let Wang Wangshan steal all the limelight...

There was no way, in the eyes of the grandmother, the father was not living up to expectations, and in such an occasion, it was inconvenient for his unsatisfactory father to even show up, so the grandmother could only place her hopes on him.

If you ask grandma, why doesn't she come to greet you in person?

When my grandmother received the news, she was about to go to the silk weaving workshop. The news that the governor was about to return did not interrupt her from going to the silk weaving workshop. In my grandmother's words: "Just do the things you are doing well as usual." The best way to welcome someone! 】

After his grandmother finished speaking, she gave him a look that said, "Young man, go ahead and get enlightened." Then she went to work diligently.

As for his sister Luo Xi... she now lives and sleeps in the shipyard. She seems obsessed with the construction drawings every day, and there is no one around her at all.

At this time, Chang Kuo, who was being supported by Luo Ze, suddenly beamed with joy: "...I'm back!"

Everyone looked around after hearing the words, but still didn't see any movement.

Chang Kuo, who vaguely heard the sound of horse hooves, was very determined and walked forward to meet him on crutches.

Not long after, as expected, an official messenger came to report first, saying that the governor was about to arrive.

The whole place was boiling, and a group of officials who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward to greet him.

Most of them were subordinate officials of the Governor's Office and Jiangdu bureaucrats, and the remaining few were imperial envoys from the imperial court.

These imperial envoys were still the same ones who came with Yu Zeng in the late autumn of last year. They originally came to supervise the army, but soon after arriving, good news came from the sea frequently, so they could only stay in the governor's house and stare.

Afterwards, after the war ended, a decree came from the capital, asking them to hand over the details of the war to Chang Suining before returning to the capital. However, who could have imagined that Chang Suining was unable to return to Jiangdu years ago due to ice on the sea.

As soon as the details of the battle have been handed over, both the names of those killed in the battle and the lists of meritorious soldiers have been truthfully submitted to the capital after Chang Kuo's approval, and even the rewards have been issued one after another -

With such delays, they had been staying in Jiangdu for four or five months.

Jiangdu is stable, and although life is not difficult, it is really difficult to feel comfortable. But if the saint does not speak, they cannot return to Beijing without authorization, and they dare not express their dissatisfaction in the governor's mansion. They can only grit their teeth and continue to wait patiently. .

Half a month ago, another group of eunuchs from the imperial court arrived. This time it was Eunuch Pan, who had secretly vowed never to come to Jiangdu again, and he brought an imperial edict to reward Chang Sui Ning.

The peace talks between Japan and Dasheng have come to an end. The DPRK and China are extremely satisfied with the results of this battle, and it is inappropriate to continue to delay the reward for the greatest hero of this battle.

This imperial decree of reward has been handed over by Eunuch Pan to Yu Zeng. At this moment, Yu Zeng is waiting quietly in the front hall of the Governor's Mansion.

Chang Suining dismounted outside the governor's office, and all the officials stepped forward to salute.

"I've asked you to wait for a long time." Chang Suining looked at Chang Kuo first as he spoke. Seeing that he looked very good, he felt relieved.

Just when Chang Kuo was about to speak, he saw a navy blue figure rushing forward, about to kneel down and salute, but Chang Sui Ning quickly held him back: "Mr. Wang..."

"…I have been waiting for you day and night, and finally I am looking forward to your return!" Wang Yue cried with joy, tears flying from his eyes.

Luo Ze was stunned for a moment. He wanted to follow him and kneel down, but the governor only had one pair of hands, and Mr. Wangshan had already taken them all...

He wanted to cry too, but he couldn't cry...

Forget it, he'd better wait for his grandmother to poke him in the nose and scold him.

The introverted Luo Ze gave up, followed his heart, and raised his hand to salute Chang Sui Ning deeply.

Chang Suining smiled and nodded to him, then looked at the others. There were some familiar faces and some unfamiliar faces. She had been away for too long, and there were more officials everywhere. Most of them she only knew the origins of their names in the letters sent by Yao Ran. And I haven’t seen him in person yet.

In the next few days, she will try to match these faces with those names as soon as possible.

The imperial envoys also came forward with smiles on their faces: "My lord, the governor has been traveling and traveling all the way. It's really hard work..."

Only after Wang Changshi reminded him in a low voice, Chang Sui Ning, who knew their identity as the imperial envoy, said with a smile: "It's hard work for all of you, sir, to wait in Jiangdu for so long."

"Okay, let's go in and talk!" Chang Kuo urged with a smile: "Servant Yu Chang and the **** who delivered the order are still waiting!"

"Preaching the message?" Chang Suining showed a moment of discriminating and thoughtful expression.

Seeing her reaction in their eyes, the imperial envoys felt a mouthful of blood in their throats - for such a big achievement, who wouldn't be thinking about receiving the reward all the time? She still needs to think and react!

Chang Suining quickly walked into the Governor's Mansion, followed by the crowd, and went straight to the front hall.

Hearing the movement, Yu Zeng subconsciously raised his eyes.

During these few months in Jiangdu, he thought a lot.

As the sounds of voices and footsteps came closer, he soon saw the girl returning from afar.

She walked in the sunlight outside the hall, tall and straight, wearing a green robe and a sword at her waist. She crossed the hall door accompanied by Chang Kuo, Chu Xing and others.

For a moment, before Yu Zeng could see the girl's face clearly, the first thing he saw was her sword and her aura, so he suddenly fell into confusion, and there was a roar in his head.

The hall had become noisy, but Yu Zeng remained seated and did not move.

He has always been famous for being cold and mean in his dealings with others. He was accustomed to relying on himself. Eunuch Pan, who had already exchanged greetings with Chang Sui Ning, did not notice much difference. He only smiled and reminded: "Shi Yu, the governor Chang has arrived. It's time." The edict has been delivered..."

Yu Zeng stood up slowly and took the imperial edict silk held by the servant at the side.

Chang Sui Ning took off his sword and handed it to shepherd's purse. He put down his robe and knelt down. He lowered his eyes and raised his hands in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty, Chang Sui Ning, I respectfully listen to the holy will."

(It’s the end of the year, it’s time for Ning Ning to be promoted~

Good night(づ￣3￣)づ
