Chapter 489 (【Twenty-one Years of Hongzhi (End)】...)

Wang Shouwen wrote back to persuade his father to be more open-minded. "Guizhou is so far away, and his brother will definitely not take the little Yi brother there. He can teach his grandson well and try to prevent his grandson from being a bastard like his son!"

If you have nothing to do, you can help Yi Geer with his homework. It is said that this is very helpful in promoting blood circulation and fully exercising your voice and cardiopulmonary function!

Wang Shouwen finished writing his words of persuasion to his father eloquently, and then boasted to Zhu Houzhao and others about the wonders of Guangdong teahouses. The best thing was that they lived just two steps away, so they could spend their time there whenever they didn't have to go to the office.

I felt so comfortable all morning!

It was no pity not to be able to go to Guangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, but as Wang Shouwen said, it was a pity not to be able to travel throughout the Ming Dynasty!

When they arrived in Laba, Wang Shouwen cooked cat rice himself and wanted to see if the cat would come to Guangzhou to see him.

Since he was the only one here, Wang Shouwen invited Maomao to stay for a while and taste the specialties of Guangdong. In a few days, they would go to Qiongzhou together. The winter sunshine in Hainan Island was bright and very sunny.

Suitable for winter, when he takes the cat to go to the sea, it can roll around in the sun on the beach, and it can also scoop delicious food in the sandpit. It must be very fun!

The cat squatted there and listened very reservedly at first. When Wang Shouwen talked about the soft sand, the blue sea water and the endless seafood, it suddenly became a little unable to sit still, and meowed at Wang Shouwen in response.

.

In fact, it doesn't often appear in front of people. It can only be seen occasionally lying on the eaves to bask in the sun or patrolling gracefully on the courtyard wall (often followed by a string of local cats). Only when Wang Shouwen is at home, it will jump into the courtyard.

Or get into the study room and accompany Wang Shouwen to exercise and read.

Near the end of the year, Wang Shouwen set out for Qiongzhou Prefecture on the pretext of inspecting the southern states and counties, planning to walk for half a month and then go to Qiongzhou Prefecture to celebrate the New Year.

Huangbanjie and the others all regretted that Wang Shouwen could not go shopping with them in Flower Street during the Chinese New Year.

Of course, the flower streets here are real flowers. The climate in Lingnan is warm and pleasant. After winter, many flowers can be cultivated to bloom in time for the New Year. "Flower Street" has become a must-have program for the New Year in various parts of Guangdong. It is not necessary to move a few pots of flowers during the New Year.

Or buying a handful of flower branches to take home for decoration is really a pity for many Cantonese people.

Wang Shouwen also liked the lively atmosphere of the New Year, but he wanted to spend the New Year with Lao Qiu. Otherwise, when he returned to Beijing after his term of office was over, he would not be able to go again.

After the year, he will be able to start his inspection tour from Qiongzhou Prefecture. Qiongzhou Prefecture is the eldest, with thirteen prefectures and counties, so he can stay for two more months!

Wang Shouwen in turn boasted to Huang Banjie and the others about the many ingredients from Hainan. Although it was not impossible to eat them shipped from there, why should we be particular about eating them fresh? A real gourmet must eat freshly caught seafood.

Freshly picked green coconuts!

Wang Shouwen boasted like this among his food friends, and many of them flew to Hainan, saying that they would go to Wang Shouwen to eat delicious food after the Chinese New Year.

Huang Banjie even found a reason on the spot, saying that he was going to Qiongzhou Prefecture to investigate on the spot to see if he could transport ingredients from that area and make delicious ones, hoping to enrich the refreshment categories of their Yangwutang.

The coconut milk tea and coconut milk layer cake mentioned by Wang Shouwen are very good.

If a transportation line can be built to transport coconuts and seafood from point to point, it should not delay their cooking.

You must know that the imperial court has now opened up sea transportation. Those half-merchants and half-bandit merchants from Chaozhou have all come ashore to work as farmers. There is nothing wrong with them transporting food by sea.

A true foodie cannot just be satisfied with the delicious food in front of him, but must be brave enough to explore new recipes!

Wang Shouwen was naturally overjoyed when he heard that they had the intention to develop business in Qiongzhou Prefecture.

He will call on Huang Banjie and others to participate in the exchange meeting. This is because he is really optimistic about the development of related industries and hopes to make up for Guangdong's shortcomings.

But if he had to ask Huang Banjie and others to go to Qiongzhou Prefecture for inspection and investment, they would definitely feel uncomfortable - no one is a fool, and there is no reason why others will happily pay for it as soon as he opens his mouth.

Wang Shouwen said that when they arrived in Qiongzhou Mansion, they would definitely treat them to delicious food.

Huang Banjie sent a steward to Wang Shouwen on the spot, asking him to go to Qiongzhou Mansion to set up a front station and buy a house or shop for them to use for gatherings after they arrived. If they couldn't open a Yangwutang branch there, they could.

Rent it out and collect rent!

The landlord's thinking is so simple and crude: wherever you go, you should consider whether you can buy a house for rent. If you are not willing to buy a single house, it is best to buy a whole area, so as not to be too scattered when collecting rent, and the missed one will be confiscated!

After everyone had gathered, Wang Shouwen led the mighty team and set off for Qiongzhou Mansion.

This time I want to inspect the official schools in the prefectures and counties along the way, and occasionally visit the Dongpo ruins, or talk to the locals about "Su Che went to Leizhou", "Zhang Dun went to Leizhou" and "The Su brothers met again"

"Will" and other legends and stories, and walked slower along the way.

Even though this road is getting more and more eccentric, it contains quite a lot of Dongpo stories!

His younger brother Su Che and his good friend (who later turned against him) Zhang Dun once went to Leizhou to look at Hainan Island where he had lived for many years.

These people can be regarded as condensing the complicated party struggle situation in the last decades of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Wang Shouwen was going to go back and sort out the list of officials who had been exiled to Lingnan, dig into the stories behind them, and tell the little piggy about the history of exile in the Tang and Song Dynasties - what famous poems and masterpieces did these nearly a thousand officials leave behind? Do they really deserve their punishment?

Or were they victimized by party strife? Did they have anything to do with the defeat of the Tang and Song Dynasties?

Wang Shouwen had Zhang Bishu, a very fast writer, following him. When he wrote, he didn't save paper. Most of the time, he dictated Zhang Bishu's writing, and then corrected it at the end. It was very efficient.

The group of people walked and walked, but they hurriedly crossed the sea a year ago and arrived at the Qiu family's old house on the other side of Qiongshan.

Qiu Jun saw Wang Shouwen and a group of people coming to his house to celebrate the New Year. He cursed a few words, but he was very happy in his heart.

Qiu Jun's son was originally worried that there would be no place to accommodate so many people, but Wang Shouwen said that a friend of his had bought an inn here, which had not yet opened, and could accommodate them first.

Qiu Jun said: "How can you live in someone else's place for nothing?"

Wang Shouwen said: "Whoever suffers will not be the owner. He is also planning to call the inn the Jinshi Building, saying that Jinshis are sleeping in every room!"

Qiu Jun: "..."

Wang Shouwen told Qiu Jun about the many investments he had made to Qiongzhou Prefecture, and there might be direct ships from both sides in the future!

Qiu Jun himself supported shipping, and was very happy after hearing this. However, he soon thought that Wang Shouwen might follow the ship, and immediately warned him not to follow the ship.

Just cross the sea from Leizhou. The ferry has been open for so many years, so everyone knows what the situation is like in the sea.

But if it was a coastal voyage, there would be many variables, and Wang Shouwen had no experience in long-distance voyages. Qiu Jun was not willing for him to take risks, and said that Wang Shouwen would never let him in if he dared to come from the sea.

Qiu Jun said so, and Wang Shouwen could only give up the idea of ​​following the ship around.

They hadn’t seen each other for almost half a year, and they were not strangers to each other. Wang Shouwen took Qiu Jun out for a walk, praising the roads he built for easy walking and the bridges he built for being strong. They also went to visit the flower market in Qiongshan.

The winter in Hainan Island is warmer than that in Guangdong, and there are so many annual flowers. Wang Shouwen was dazzled by the sight. Finally, he held one pot on his left and one on the right, and asked Yan Song and others to carry it together. When they returned, the interior and exterior of Qiu's house were filled with flowers. It looks very festive.

When the wait was over, Wang Shouwen kept his promise and took the cat to play on the beach. While the cat was rolling in the sand, he ran to the sea with the others and fished all kinds of edible and inedible seafood into the bucket. After fishing enough, I went to ask the locals what they could eat.

This New Year's Eve is spent with joy and laughter.

After nightfall, Lao Qiu's young grandson followed Wang Shouwen to set off fireworks.

The fireworks Wang Shouwen brought were so many and beautiful (sent by Maomao) that all the children around him were attracted and ran after Wang Shouwen.

Qiu Jun sat on the recliner Wang Shouwen had given him, looking up at the night sky where fireworks exploded from time to time, and vaguely remembered Brother Wen, who was only two or three years old back then.

In the past, everywhere this kid was around was very lively.

After all these years, this kid still hasn't changed at all.

Another year has passed, so good.

Compared with the warmth and joy here in Qiongzhou Prefecture, the Wang family in the capital is a bit deserted. I can only be glad that Wang Shojian and Wang Shouzhang have no idea of ​​​​traveling around the Ming Dynasty. Their grandson Wang Zhengyi was left at home by Wang Shouren to coax his own grandfather. This will not make Wang Hua, a father, too lonely.

Wang Hua was very melancholy. When his two sons were in front of him, he wanted to beat them up every day. Now that they had all run outside, he was thinking about it again. The New Year's Eve dinner was tasteless.

What two traitors!

Naturally, Wang Hua is not the only one who feels this melancholy. Many people feel uncomfortable thinking about Little Bachelor Wang living far away in Guangdong during the Chinese New Year.

Fortunately, some booksellers had already taken action. They went to Wang Hua's way to seize copies of Wang Shouwen's letters and compiled a "Collection of Wang Shen's Letters" in time for everyone to experience. Let’s see how Wang Shouwen behaves outside.

This collection of letters was on the best-selling list of Beijing Normal University’s new books a few years ago.

The circle of letter exchange activities has suddenly expanded, and you can enjoy Wang Xiaowen's letters as long as you spend some time!

Although Zhu Houzhao had exchanged letters with others many times, he still asked someone to buy a copy of "Wang Shenci's Letters" and came back. On New Year's Eve, he held the book and read it, and from time to time he muttered: "Well Zhiguo Tiaoyou knows what IKEA is doing. Alas, Zhongyou will come back five years ago..."

Crown Princess:?

Zhu Houzhao also learned from Wang Shouwen's "good teacher" to some extent, and immediately started giving lectures to his princess, saying that "Guo Tiaoyou" means "that guy (that guy)", so he was talking about

“I wonder what that guy Wang Shouwen is doing” and “it will take another five years to come back.”

Damn it, even if I don’t come back, I still have to write a letter to show off what I ate and played!

If Guangdong hadn't been too far away, Ma Wensheng and the others would have hugged his thighs to prevent him from going, and he would have simply run over to play!

How can this be true? How can it be true?

Princess: "..."

That night, the Crown Princess took out a pen and paper and continued to write her "Prince's Observation Diary". She was a Crown Princess who passed the exam and competed for the position. Her work attitude was very upright and serious. She would record the major and minor events of the Prince's daily life in the East Palace in time for preparation.

For future reference——

It was sunny on New Year's Eve in the 21st year of Hongzhi.
