Chapter 843 Xunyang River Stopping Guests at Night(1/2)
The night is as cool as water, and the moon is white in the middle of the river.
On the north bank of the Shuangfeng Peaks, there is a ferry on the riverside, which is still brightly lit and loud, and people are coming and going.
Many boats are moored by the river. In addition to cargo ships and passenger ships, there are also restaurants and restaurants with pleasure boats.
Because the Shuangfeng Jiandukou is located outside the city, it is not like Xunyang Duke in the city, it is accompanied by a curfew and is closed at night.
Ships are allowed to start and stop at the Shuangfengjian Ferry day and night. Over time, even though the Xunyang Grottoes have been stopped, passengers and merchants still have developed a night market around the ferry.
If passengers who come and go when they encounter the gates of Xunyang City, they will stop at Shuangfengjian Ferry and rest for dinner.
There are a large number of restaurants and shops, and the business is the best at night.
This change was something that Yan Liulang and other officials in the lobby of Jiangzhou had never thought of at first, and they subconsciously admired the far-reaching forward-looking of a young governor.
At midnight, Ouyang Rong, Hu Fu and his group arrived at Shuangfengjian Ferry.
Sit down and ride across the night market.
At the gate of the dock that is endless day and night, Khufreh horses look back and holds his fists:
"Governor Ouyang, please stay."
Ouyang Rong was wearing a blue Confucian shirt and sat on the horse, looking around at the noisy night market.
After the Xunyang War, he came a few times, and it was during the day. Although he had expected it, he never thought that Shuangfengjian Ferry was developing so quickly and was already quite good.
Ouyang Rong shook his head gently:
"It's okay, I'll send you another trip."
Hu Fu and others did not stop them. Their eyes fell more or less on the small bag of flowers in their arms, and followed the silver-haired girl behind Ouyang Rong.
The bearded eunuch withdrew his gaze and smiled at the night market:
"Governor Ouyang, I didn't expect that the ferry was so lively. It was still at night, and the lights and wine were as bright as the restaurant street on the banks of Xunyangfang River. Is this also the plan of Lord Governor?"
"really……"
Yuan Huaimin, who was looking around, was about to nod and agree, and felt the gaze cast by Yi Qianqiu beside him, and shut up instantly.
Khufu said in surprise:
"It's such a good place to enjoy the night. Our family thought that except for the prosperous cities like Yangzhou, the two capitals, most of the local prefectures and counties outside the two capitals were boring and boring at night, but they were ignorant."
Ouyang Rong did not speak.
He turned his head and looked at the center of the river in the distance.
A Buddha's head was sinking between the river, revealing only a small handful of fleshy temples on the top of his head.
Looking from afar, there are sand gulls lying on the night.
When Yi Qianqiu, Miaozhen, Yuan Huaimin and others heard this, they were like Ouyang Rong, and their eyes were unconsciously falling on the Buddha's head that fell in the center of the river.
Their eyes were a little complicated.
There is sadness, loneliness, and emotion.
This Shuangfengjian Ferry was originally used to serve the construction of Xunyang Grottoes and Donglin Buddhas, and was born for it.
Now the Buddha is shattered, the Buddha's head sinks to the river, and the grottoes are shelved.
As a foil, the ferry was gathered together by the people, started a business and blossomed into a different kind of vitality.
The lights on the north bank ferry are bright, but the huge grottoes on the opposite south bank are lonely and empty.
For Khufu's words.
Ouyang Rong was silent.
Everyone did not answer.
Khu Fu noticed the cold situation and realized something, so he covered his mouth and coughed twice.
Suddenly, he broke his silence:
"The official boat is in front and can leave at any time. Can you eat? Where is the little lady Ye? After getting on the boat and leaving the land, you will wander on the river for several days, but you will not have such a chance to have a stable meal."
Hu Fu joked to Ye Weilai.
Except for Yuan Huaimin, who was used to shaking his head as soon as possible and having sex with him, everyone nodded.
Seeing this, Yuan Huaimin quickly nodded and said carelessly:
"I've eaten it, Hu Zhong is polite."
It doesn't matter to Hufu:
"Okay, our family is not hungry."
He turned his head and ordered the followers:
"Come here, go and bring your luggage and items onto the boat, prepare more dry food and water, and a few boxes of fresh lychees we bought..."
As the ship was ready, Yan Liulang returned.
He had just disappeared for a while, and when he returned, everyone saw a beautiful woman in purple and gold cloak and silk following him.
Hu Fu knew that he was a Shang woman named Pei, who seemed to be working under Ouyang Lianghan.
"Young Master, I've been waiting for a long time. I've just finished my work. In the afternoon, another group of monks from other places came..."
Pei Shisanniang first bowed to Ouyang Rong with an apology.
Ouyang Rong waved his hand:
“No obstacle.”
Pei Shisanniang turned around, her face returned to calm, and she raised her chin to the followers behind:
"Come on board."
Khu Fu and others turned their heads and found that the beautiful woman was following a group of strong men, carrying several large boxes behind her back.
Khufuqi asked:
"Governor Ouyang, what is this?"
Pei Shisanniang took a step forward and saluted slowly, smiling:
"There are some specialties in Xunyang, mostly some flavors of food, and some special paper and ink... The journey with you is hard, so you can comfort me.
"A little gift is not worth respect, I hope you can accept it with a smile."
Hufu looked at Ouyang Rong.
Ouyang Rong glanced at Pei Shisanniang.
I am relieved that she will not make some ignorant "special products", it should be really just specialties.
He nodded gently:
"My father-in-law accept it, a little bit of his heart."
"good."
Khufu did not hesitate anymore and clapped his hands crisply.
The palace servants beside him quickly stepped forward and brought the specialty boxes onto the boat one by one, but they didn't check it.
Khufu still trusts this young governor very much.
As the palace servant moved the boxes back and forth, Ouyang Rong looked at the scenery of the river and the moon was white. He asked Ye Weilai:
"Where is the wine?"
"Here I am."
Ye Weilai responded softly. With the help of Pei Shisanniang, she lowered her head and opened the food box, took out a plate of wine from it, and brought it to Ouyang Rong, Hu Fu and others.
Pei Shisanniang stepped forward and served Ouyang Rong and the others a glass of wine.
This scene made Hu Fu and others look slightly sideways.
I saw a young man in Confucian clothes, thin and isolated, with two beauties, one big and one small, one small and one small, all of whom were well-behaved and treated the guests politely.
A scholar is paired with a beautiful woman, and the red sleeves add the fragrance of wine, which is always pleasing to the eye.
Hu Fu and Yuan Huaimin were a little envious when they saw it.
Ouyang Rong picked up the wine glass and signaled to Hu Fu, Yi Qianqiu, Miaozhen and others.
He said solemnly:
"I will send you a thousand miles away, and I will leave you. The officials are plagued by something and cannot send you far away. I hope you don't blame me."
Khufu laughed:
"How could it be that the governor Ouyang could send us to our family at night? Our family is already flattered. How dare I delay the governor Ouyang's kung fu? The governor Ouyang's daily life is a matter of affairs and seeking welfare for the people. Our family knows the importance of it."
Ouyang Rong was speechless, just tilted his head to drink.
Khufu also raised his head and drank it all, put down his wine glass, and wiped his mouth.
He looked at the memories and asked:
"Master Ouyang remember, how many times have we bid farewell?"
Ouyang Rong nodded: "Three times."
Khufu laughed:
"Haha, that's right, our family is really destined to be governor Ouyang. When we first met, you were the chief minister of the governor of Jiang. When we first came to Xunyang, we also personally sent our family to the ferry.
"The second time I saw you, I was supervising the creation of the Buddha. You did not accept the imperial edict, but unfortunately you were demoted and became Sima of Jiangzhou... But at that time, our family did not see how sad you were. Instead, they smiled and comforted our family. It was amazing to us at that time.
"And then now, it is the third time to see you. The third time you bid farewell, you have firmly sat in the position of governor, but this time you bid farewell, you are not happy and a little taciturn."
