This word "hum" means that Chang Sui Ning can immediately "see the words as if they were faces" without having to identify them through handwriting.
The person who wrote the letter was probably complaining that she had left and never returned to the capital, and that she still had to be cared for by him as a teacher in the end... Although there was only one word in the letter, it was worth a thousand words.
Chang Sui Ning walked forward leisurely under the sunset, reading with great interest.
But at the end of the interpretation, only one answer is the clearest, and that is... her teacher has changed.
In the past, the teacher did not agree with her idea of "keeping the Tao".
He blamed her for not living up to expectations, despised her for being self-righteous, blamed her for insisting on having her own way, and even more hated her for not caring about her life.
Before leaving for Beidi, she went to say goodbye to her teacher, and he even said, "Just pretend that I have never taught you as a student" to break off the teacher-student relationship with her.
Although she was too thick-skinned to accept his words, the teacher never looked back at her until she bowed and left.
She can still remember the teacher's thin, frustrated, silent and depressed back.
The teacher only thought she was heartless, but she was not. What the teacher didn't know was that she was also extremely sad at that time.
When she was in Beidi, when she thought of her teacher, she only remembered his extremely disappointed back.
Although she was never disturbed by external things and never paid attention to the eyes and opinions of others, deep down in her heart, she still longed for the teacher's approval.
now……
She was finally "allowed" by the teacher.
The word "hum" is the teacher's permission.
The teacher no longer scolds her for her "Tao". Even though she still dislikes it on the surface, he is already planning and paving the way for her... hoping that she can walk on this road as easily and steadily as possible.
She knew that no matter whether she was named General Ningyuan back then, or whether she became the governor of Jiangdu as she wished this time, there would always be teachers in the court to defend her against the voices of thousands of armies.
The teacher changed and became willing to "compromise" with her.
As the saying goes, people always become more stubborn as they get older, and the teacher's stubbornness is even more unparalleled. Even if the sky falls, the teacher's straight and stubborn waist will not bend.
Therefore, she thought that her death would probably be a huge blow to the teacher, beyond her imagination.
She was like a child who was extremely willful and sacrificed her life to make her determination clear. She would rather die than regret, but she forced her teacher to regret.
Her death frightened the teacher who was not afraid of anything, not even death.
Chang Suining held the letter in her hand, her heart felt warm and astringent, and she felt guilty.
She felt lucky and happy.
There is no student in the world who does not expect to be recognized by the teacher. Being recognized by the teacher is really a very proud thing.
The evening breeze was a little warm. Chang Suining took off the black gauze official hat on his head, revealing the slightly damp velvety hair on his forehead. His dark eyebrows appeared in the summer sunset, adding a bit of a compelling and free spirit.
.
Holding her official hat in her hand, she walked through a clump of green banana trees, her steps becoming more brisk.
Yao Ran followed her and noticed that his governor was in a very good mood - was it because of... the word "hum"?
When they reached a fork in the road, Xi'er was waiting in front, smiling and waving to Chang Suining: "Girl, here it is!"
Xi'er led the way, holding the official hat for his girl, talking about some newly familiar affairs of the governor's office, and asked the girl if she was tired.
"I'm tired." As Chang Sui Ning responded, he had already stepped onto the stone bridge across a lotus pond. He looked across the pool of "infinite green lotus leaves connecting the sky" and saw Liu Huo leisurely drinking water by the pond.
a family of three.
When he returned home, he drank heavily from the lotus pond. When he raised his head, he swung the horse's mouth and splashed his father in the face. He cursed and kicked his son on the buttocks.
Chang Sui Ning watched the fire from across the bank and sighed: "What a picture of a durian fire training a child."
"Ah Li!"
A Dian's shout came from the end of the bridge. He was holding seven or eight pink and white lotus flowers and two large lotus leaves in his arms, and he couldn't wait to run towards Chang Suining.
This scene made Chang Suining sigh with emotion: "I am walking forward with a heavy load, but it turns out that someone is here to calm down the years for me."
Yao Ran pursed his lips and smiled.
A Dian came to Chang Suining with his arms full of lotus flowers: "...I'll give these to you!"
Chang Suining nodded. At this moment, he just wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper: "I'm tired, please hold me for me first."
"Okay!" A Dian nodded obediently, followed Chang Suining, happily talking about what he had done today, and finally said: "...it's great here, I like it very much!"
Then he looked at Luohuo and the others: "Liuhuo likes them too!"
"As long as you like it, let's live here for now." Chang Sui Ning said, "If we have a chance later, let's move to a bigger and better one."
A point of joy should be "good".
At this moment, Chang Sui Ning smelled the fragrance of lotus and felt that all her fatigue was gone. The tranquility of this moment was the meaning of all this.
This is a place of peace. If there is peace in a state, it will be peace in a country... This is what she has wanted all her life.
She probably inherited the life of hard work in the blood of the Li family, and her own joys and sorrows have long been connected with the prosperous rivers. She is as high as the wind and as tall as the grass and trees. Only when the rivers in the world are flourishing and peaceful can she flourish and stretch.
Xi'er led the way, and they all arrived in front of a very grand courtyard, where the governor lived.
The two guards guarding the outside of the courtyard saluted Chang Sui Ning. One called him the governor and the other called him general. After saying this, they both stared at each other - how come there was no tacit understanding at all!
Chang Suining entered the courtyard and felt the hot smoke of fireworks blowing towards his face.
The courtyard is planted with flowers, grass, bananas and crabapples, rockeries and rocks, and the landscape is very elegant.
At this time, Chang Kuo was sending Chu Xing and Chang Ren to move one small table after another to the courtyard and set it up. A Che and shepherd's purse and several other ladies were wearing aprons and walking from the corridor with cold dishes in their hands.
They were talking and laughing.
He Wuhu and Six Tigers and Seven Tigers were hanging lamps under Li Tong's command. When they heard the words "The Governor is back," everyone stopped what they were doing and looked towards Chang Suining.
"The general is back!"
"grown ups!"
"Sister Chang, come quickly!"
"..."
There were shouts of laughter one after another, Chang Suining walked over, and it was only at this moment that he truly felt like he was "settling down".
"You're back!" Chang Kuo limped over, his face full of amiable smile: "You must be tired after discussing it all day!"
"We are all busy." Chang Suining smiled and looked at the busy people.
"That's right!" Chang Kuo laughed loudly: "When you come to a new nest, you naturally have to clean it up!"
Chang Sui Ning nodded peacefully. She knew that even though she had only been here for one day, her own people were guarding all the important places inside and outside the Governor's Mansion.
"From now on, Ning Ning will be the master of the house, and my father will take charge of the house for you!" Chang Kuo patted his chest and seemed to enjoy his current status as "her father as governor", far more than the title of Marquis Zhongyong.
Chang Sui Ning nodded happily: "Okay, then it's settled."
At this time, Li Tong walked over quickly and said with a smile: "...it turns out that Coach Xiao and the others are here, and they just kept it for lunch. They stayed for half a day and couldn't wait for Sister Chang to finish her business, so she could only
Let’s go back first.”
"I drove them away!" Chang Kuo said: "They said they were here to celebrate their new home... There were more than a hundred people. A meal at noon, just a soup, was like stewed pig food. It was cooked.
More than ten pots! If we ask them to stay any longer, they will have to clear out the grain storehouse! And the whole group of people are chirping, as if they are competing with the cicadas!"
"Thinking about you staying at the front all day, how could my ears suffer such a crime? So I simply drove them all away, leaving only some of our own people!"
Hearing Chang Kuo's words, Liu Hu couldn't hide his excitement and poked He Wuhu at his side: "Brother, are you listening..."
The Marquis said they were his own people!
He Wuhu was holding half a basin of water that had just been brought up. When he stabbed it, the water splashed out, and he cursed: "It's worthless... It's just the truth, what the hell!"
They were personally entrusted to the general by Governor Cui, and they were the first personal soldiers under the general besides Sister Shepherd's Purse and the others!
Of course one of our own!
As He Wuhu said this, his fingers holding the edge of the tub were so hard that they turned white and almost crushed the tub.
His chest also expanded higher, and he shouted: "General, my subordinates will get you some water! Please clean your hands so that we can eat better!"
The voice was so loud and exciting that Liuhu's ears were so painful that he rubbed his ears and looked at his eldest brother with a grin on his face.
After Chang Sui Ning washed his hands and changed out of his official robe, when he came out, more than ten small tables and mats had been set up in the courtyard. One small table was at the top, and the others were on both sides of the bottom. Food was already placed on them.
Chang Sui Ning took office as a new official, but he did his best to be disrespectful and sat down cross-legged in the superior position.
Everyone raised their glasses, drank tea in Changsui Ning, and had a lively dinner.
After the meal, everyone went back to the accommodation they had booked and drank a lot of wine. Li Tong, who was very excited, wanted to talk to Chang Suining, but thinking that Chang Suining was tired all day long, he didn't bother him anymore.
Chang Kuo and his daughter-in-law talked alone for a while. The father and daughter stood under an osmanthus tree in the courtyard, laughing constantly.
Finally, Chang Kuo said: "Yuan Xiang had someone send a letter back today... I'll go over and have a look tomorrow!"
Fighting against Japanese pirates is not a day's work. Chang Suining immediately asked Yuanxiang and others to implement coastal defense cleanup. While paying attention to the whereabouts of Japanese troops, he trained the navy and made urgent preparations for the battle. Yuanxiang would send letters back every day.
Describe progress and problems encountered.
Chang Sui Ning thought for a moment and nodded: "Then go ahead and keep an eye on me. I will take care of the affairs of the governor's office as soon as possible. When Commander Xiao frees up the 80,000 troops, I will lead the troops there immediately.
"
The imperial edict clearly allocated her 80,000 troops to fight against the Japanese, but it was just yesterday, and emergency preparations were being made everywhere.
The Japanese pirates are coming so fiercely this time that 80,000 is not enough, and not many of these 80,000 are good at water warfare. But fortunately, we can also integrate the remaining naval forces in the coastal states after the Xu Pirate Rebellion. The number of available naval forces is now
We are also stepping up our inventory.
Even so, the upcoming anti-Japanese war is by no means optimistic. Those Japanese soldiers are all cunning people who are proficient in water warfare.
The coastal state governments were very worried about the intrusion. They once reported to the court that these Japanese pirates "come and go like the wind, and there is no way to suppress them."
Everyone knows that this battle is difficult to fight.
But in Chang Suining's view, if he was easy to fight, it would not be her turn to exchange for the position of governor of Jiangdu.
At this moment, Chang Kuo lowered his voice, but his momentum was not weak at all: "... I thought that His Highness could beat them to their knees and beg for mercy more than ten years ago, and now he is keeping them safe so that they never come back!"
"I dare not say whether we have come back or not. We are just a group of shrimps and crabs now." Chang Sui Ning raised his chin slightly and said firmly: "But it is not difficult to prevent these water turtles from climbing ashore."
Chang Kuo laughed heartily: "That's right, His Highness has always had a secret technique for treating turtles!"
Just joking, Chang Suining told Chang Kuo some matters that should have been replied to Yuan Xiang, so he didn't have to write another letter.
Finally, Chang Kuo said: "By the way, there is one more thing..."
Chang Suining looked at him and gestured to him.
"Speaking of which, those two boxes have also been brought over... Why don't we open them and take a look?" Chang Kuo said with a "hey" smile: "It's a gift from the emperor. Dad is also curious."
Chang Suining suddenly realized, those two boxes.
After receiving the order yesterday, she wanted to open it on the spot, but shepherd's purse and the others took her to bathe and change clothes, so she forgot about it as she was busy.
Seeing her expression, Chang Kuo had an idea. He originally thought that His Highness was unwilling to open up and was angry with that saint because of a knot in his heart... Now it seems that he was overly worried. His Highness didn't seem to have any care for that person.
No matter what emotions are involved, it's just treating the other person as a saint.
But the mother and daughter have come this far, and His Highness’s state of mind along the way...
Chang Kuo still sighed in his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chang Suining turned around and said from the front: "Let's go and see what's inside."
Chang Kuo followed with a smile.
In the side room, the two large boxes were placed together with a pile of things that had not yet been sorted out.
Chang Kuo opened the box himself without letting the third person follow him. When he opened the first box, he was stunned when he saw the contents inside. When he opened the second box, he found the same thing.
There are four wine jars sealed in each box, eight jars in total.
Chang Kuo stood up and held up his finger: "Your Highness, this is..."
Chang Sui Ning: "It's Feng Zhi Ning."
When the box was first opened, she knew it as soon as she smelled it.
Chang Kuo said "Oh" clearly, so...this saint is actually following His Highness's will now?
However, His Highness no longer drinks alcohol.
Chang Kuo sighed in his heart... This feeling came too late.
There were some things that he couldn't comment on, so he could only ask: "Then this wine... will it be sealed again?"
"Just seal two altars." Chang Sui Ning said: "I will take the remaining six altars to the camp in a few days and send them to General Xiao and other soldiers when they return to the capital."
Chang Kuo responded and couldn't help but ask again: "What are those two altars..."
"Leave it to Wujue." Chang Sui Ning said, "He has been craving this Feng Zhi Ning for a long time."
With that said, she walked out: "I've been busy all day and haven't bothered to write to him yet."
Chang Kuo's eyes lit up when he heard it - Wujue is coming too? That's great, he has been craving the mutton soup made by the bald man for a long time!
The reunion of the whole family is just around the corner!
Chang Sui Ning immediately went to the study to write a letter to Wu Jue and gave it to A Che, asking him to send it out early tomorrow morning.
After thinking for a while, I laid down some paper, picked up a pen, and wrote another letter.
On the letter paper, she wrote neatly in big characters - [Ha]!
After writing it, I watched it for a while, but I was afraid it would be too offensive, so I thought about it for a while, then I bent down at my desk and carefully drew a little man kowtowing in the blank space to say thank you.
After finishing the painting, Chang Sui Ning threw down the pen, picked up the letter paper and took a look at it. Only then did he finally nod with satisfaction.
…
The next morning, as soon as the door of the Governor's Mansion was opened, people came to the door one after another.
Ah Che was about to lead people to put up a notice recruiting talents, and was quite surprised when he saw someone coming: "Xiao Duan, Xiao Wu? Why are you here!"
As he said that, he looked at the long queue of carriages and horses behind the two of them.
