Xunyang Ferry.

After the big ship left, only Ouyang Rong and Wang Junzhi were left at the dock berth to see them off.

The two turned their heads and looked at each other.

Wang Junzhi took out his handkerchief, wiped his hands, and explained with a smile:

"Brother Zi'ang had a very pleasant conversation with Brother Shuqing and decided to give him a ride to Longcheng to take up his post, and also to visit the nearby Yunmeng Daze."

Ouyang Rong nodded.

Wang Junzhi put away his handkerchief, smiled softly, turned around and left without staying any longer.

Ouyang Rong silently watched his figure go away, turned around, and looked back at the shadow of the boat on the river in the distance, which was gradually getting smaller.

Yan Liulang came up to him: "Mingfu, where are you going now..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly moved, passed in front of him, and walked towards the east side of Xunyang Ferry.

There is an official office of the Shipping Department there, which handles registration procedures for various berthed ships.

Yan Liulang was slightly startled, then shut up immediately and followed the pace of the Ming Dynasty.

Immediately, he saw Mingfu striding towards the gate of the Shipbuilding Department and stopping in front of the desk of a yawning clerk on the morning shift.

Mingfu stretched out his palm and said calmly:

"The big ship that just left, where did it depart from and where did it end? Get me the formalities."

The yawning officer was stunned for a moment and was about to put on a straight face, but he immediately saw a blue-clad catcher walking out of the queue behind this loud-mouthed young man in plain clothes, holding a bronze medal in his hand.

"Okay, you two adults will wait a moment."

The clerk greeted him with a smile and looked for documents.

Yan Liulang didn't pay much attention to the sudden change in the clerk's attitude. He glanced sideways at Mingfu, who was standing quietly in front of the table with his hands behind his back.

His eyes were as quiet as a deep pool.

…

Xunyang Ancient Ferry, known as the first ferry in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, was left behind.

Standing on the deck, looking at the bow of the ship breaking through the wind and waves, Du Shuqing stared at it for a while and then turned back.

He silently passed over the excited and chatty Yue Ziang next to him, and got into the rear cabin vigorously.

He said to the two figures who were immersed in playing chess in the cabin:

"Mr. Yan, what should I do with the house on Luming Street?"

Du Shuqing opened a bunch of keys in his hand and asked dully.

Li Zhengyan was playing chess with Wei Shaoqi, staring intently at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, saying without raising his head:

"What else can we do?" He sighed slightly: "Let's go first."

"yes."

Wei Shaoqi said: "He served as a county magistrate in Longcheng, so he should know someone."

Du Shuqing looked sideways.

Li Zhengyan nodded: "This is something you need to pay attention to."

Du Shuqing said "hmm", put away the key, and left silently.

After the people left, only the two playing chess were left in the cabin.

Li Zhengyan dropped a sunspot and sighed with regret:

“Jiangzhou does have a royal atmosphere and the location is good. It’s a great place.”

Wei Shaoqi's words were concise and concise: "It and Hongzhou are each other's gateway to the southeast."

Li Zhengyan nodded: "Especially Jiangzhou. Going down the Xunyang River, you can easily reach Jinling and Yangzhou, and it is also the gateway to the two."

The cabin became quiet, with only the sound of chess pieces falling on the board.

Li Zhengyan suddenly threw the chess pieces in his hand back into the jar, stood up, and waved his hands:

"Let's go, we can't stay in Jiangzhou for long, the roads are different and we can't make plans for it.

"Leave it to Junzhi later."

Wei Shaoqi turned a deaf ear and pointed at the chessboard and said:

"Mr. Yan, sit down, this game of chess is not over yet."

"Ahem." Li Zhengyan coughed:

"Mr. Wei, what can we do with the stinky chess basket? If you want to play chess, I'll go out and ask Shuqing to play with you, sir."

Wei Shaoqi sighed: "Mr. Yan is not a good chess player."

"It's not like you don't know my chess skills."

"for example?"

"Like this."

Li Zhengyan calmly waved his sleeves, brushed the losing chessboard into chaos, and nodded: "Smash the board."

Wei Shaoqi nodded and suddenly returned to the topic not long ago:

"People like Wang Lengran are nothing to be afraid of, but with Ouyang Lianghan in Jiangzhou, we really can't stay here long. It's time to leave."

"I never asked, what does Mr. Wei think of Ouyang Lianghan?"

Wei Shaoqi pointed at the messy square chessboard with black and white round chess pieces in front of him and said bluntly:

"Fang is like practicing righteousness, roundness is like using wisdom, movement is like using materials, and tranquility is like being satisfied."

Li Zhengyan couldn't help but turn around and take a second look at Mr. Wei, who was always stingy in his praise.

The general meaning of these four words of praise is that your behavior is upright and regular, your intelligence is smooth and changeable, you are open and happy in doing things, but your heart is calm and peaceful.

"What a calm and proud person."

Li Zhengyan nodded in approval:

"The most rare thing is that he has 'calm' at such a young age. I don't know what happened to him when he was demoted to Dragon City. He is too un-young."

"That's right, the presence of such people is the luck of Wei Zhou."

After a pause, Wei Shaoqi sighed:

"It would have been great if Ouyang Lianghan could have accepted the order and entered the Yushitai at the end of last year. Duke Yan and I could have gotten to know this person earlier, and there wouldn't be any difficulties in Jiangzhou today."

Li Zhengyan looked surprised:

"Mr. Wei rarely praises people so much."

Wei Shaoqi shook his head: "Since I changed the name of Qian to Zhou, I have seen many heroes and heroes in these years. I have become famous. It is rare to meet someone who lives up to his reputation."

He sighed with emotion: "You are worthy of your master's favor and allowed him to stay in Jiangzhou against the order."

Hearing the word "master" in Wei Shaoqi's respectful tone, Li Zhengyan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Wei Shaoqi seemed to have noticed the cold situation and kept silent.

It was quiet for a while, and someone in the cabin was sorting out the messy chessboard and asked casually:

"Where should we go next, Guizhou?"

"No." The man who smashed the chessboard with his sleeves was quiet for a while, nodded and said, "Hongzhou."

"color."

…

Ouyang Rong walked out of the Shipbuilding and Trading Department in the morning light.

Yan Liulang, who was following behind him, turned over the documents in his hand and muttered:

"There seems to be no problem. It indeed started from Jinling and passed through Longcheng and Yi County."

Ouyang Rong was noncommittal.

The two returned to Jiangzhou lobby.

"Wait at the door."

Ouyang Rong entered the main hall, picked up a letter, handed it to Yan Liulang when he went out, and said:

"Yan Liulang sent it to County Magistrate Diao for me... No, Magistrate Diao."

Yan Liulang burst out laughing when he heard Ouyang Rong's smooth slip of the tongue.

"Yes, Mingfu."

Turn around to retreat.

"etc."
