In a blink of an eye, it was already the third day of June.
In June last year, Li Zhen was just the most inconspicuous centurion in the Jiangbei camp. A year later, Li Zhen was already the governor of Guangzhou, with a group of civil servants and generals under his command, making him a frontier official. Li Zhen recalled his past and present, and suddenly felt like a dream.
In the past, he was a soldier who fought for the country, but now he is active in another time and space.
The same thing is that they are all for this troubled country.
Li Zhen looked back and forth in the backyard of Daotai Mansion, watching the maids carrying large and small packages, feeling a little reluctant. After all, he had lived in Shanghai for such a long time and had some feelings for Zhilan and Huang Qi. , Alice, Gu Yili and Liu Die are together, and Liu Die is the core of these women.
Because she was pregnant with a child, Liu Die has become the treasure of several women. She has clothes to put on, food to eat, and mouth to open, and someone is supporting her when she walks.
The girls walked out of the yard, followed by a group of maids and attendants. Among them, Dong'er was the eldest sister among the group of maids. She walked in front of her arrogantly, just like a proud little peacock.
Li Zhen rarely interfered with matters in the backyard.
If you can ignore it, just ignore it.
Seeing several people approaching, Li Zhenxiao asked, "Are you all ready?"
Zhilan replied with a smile: "Everything has been packed up and we are ready to go."
Li Zhen waved his sleeves and said boldly: "Let's go, get ready to leave the city."
"Sir, it's not good."
Li Zhen took Zhilan and others to prepare to go to the hall. When they left Daotai Mansion, an attendant hurried over with a look of horror on his face. Li Zhen asked in a deep voice: "What happened."
The attendant gasped for air, bent down and said: "Mansion, Mansion, outside the Mansion, are surrounded by hundreds of people."
"How is it possible? How could the people surround Daotai Mansion?"
After hearing what the attendant said, Zhi Lan's expression suddenly became strange. She didn't think about the problem for a while. Li Zhen's mind changed, but he laughed and said calmly: "These people should be here to say goodbye." Yes, let's go and meet the people outside the mansion." After that, Li Zhen led Zhi Lan, Alice and others towards the hall.
…
Outside Daotai Gate, there was a sea of people. The streets were crowded with people. Countless people gathered here. There were old people in their seventies and young children of several years old. They all appeared outside Daotai Mansion. These people were not It was not organized artificially, but spontaneously gathered outside Daotai Mansion, specifically to see Li Zhen off.
"Old man, you are already over sixty. It is not good for your health to squeeze in at your age. There are too many people here. If you are pushed twice and fall to the ground, it will be bad. You are old. , go back early."
Among the crowd, a middle-aged scholar in his early thirties said to the old man next to him.
The old man wears a small round hat, his clothes are simple, but he is energetic. His face is full of wrinkles, leaving behind the wind and frost of endless years. His hair is sparse and has turned into silver hair. The old man is leaning on a cane and has a stick on his back. Carrying a long tube one meter long and ten centimeters in diameter, he shook his head in disapproval after listening to the middle-aged man's words.
The old man looked at the door of Daotai Mansion and said in a deep voice: "Master Daotai is going to Guangzhou to take up his post. If you leave this time, you will not come back until the Year of the Monkey. During your stay in Shanghai, you devoted yourself to the people and got rid of unscrupulous businessmen like Yang Fang. He defeated the tyrannical foreigners and greatly enhanced the country's prestige. Such people are worthy of respect, and I must give him a gift."
The old man looked nostalgic and said: "I think back when I was still a child, when Emperor Qianlong was still there, no foreigners dared to be arrogant. The world has changed. Fortunately, there are good officials like Master Daotai. Now Master Daotai When I went to Guangzhou to take up my post, I never met Mr. Daotai. If I don’t meet you this time, I really won’t be able to see you again after I enter the coffin.”
After hearing this, the middle-aged man nodded and stopped persuading.
On the whole street, people were whispering to each other and talking about Li Zhen.
"Crunch,."
The door of Daotai Mansion opened, and a young man with a clear face and a smile came out.
This young man is clearly Li Zhen.
"Master Daotai is out."
Suddenly, a shout rang out from the crowd. Immediately, the sound rang out, and countless people were excited. The scene completely exploded at this moment, reaching a climax in an instant. For the people, they didn't want Li Zhen to leave, but they were willing to watch. When Li Zhen became the governor of Guangzhou, his shouts resounded through the streets and through the sky, echoing throughout the city.
Li Zhen looked at the farewell people and felt sad in his heart.
What he did was actually very simple, and he couldn't afford to be treated like this by the common people.
Putting down the Xiaodao Society rebellion, attacking foreigners, and developing the economy are all normal things. Everyone who is an official wants to make a career, and the same is true for Li Zhen. What Li Zhen did was just his duty. But he gained such trust from the people, and he was so moved, as if he had broken down some barrier.
At this moment, Li Zhen was moved.
Zhilan, Alice, Gu Yili, Huang Qi and Liu Die stood behind, looking at the crowds of cheering people, they were also shocked, especially Zhilan, she was from a big family and had a good family background. Not only had she met Even the supreme emperor has seen the concubines in the palace. Logically speaking, they are people who have seen big scenes, but they have never seen such a shocking scene.
This stormy cheer is a cheer from the heart.
What people want.
This word appeared in Zhilan's mind, with a proud look on her face.
The person who is loved by the people is his man.
Huang Qi's eyes were bright and shining with a strange light. When Li Zhen fought against the Russian strongman in Beijing in the past, Huang Qi had seen the scene of people cheering, but it was more of a kind of catharsis, a kind of expression of gratitude to Li Zhen. The excitement of defeating the Russian strongman, but the scene in front of me was different, it came from the gratitude deep in my heart.
The two situations swirled in Huang Qi's mind and gradually merged together, making her eyes gradually blur. What kind of man was the man in front of her?
Liu Die had a faint smile on her lips, feeling excited for Li Zhen and happy for Liu Taiping and Qi Zhenhai.
Alice and Gu Yili held hands with sparkling eyes. They grew up in England and had never seen countless people gathering together to say goodbye. Even if they saw countless people gathering together, it was a general strike. , is a destructive behavior, but what is in front of them is the other extreme, a man who completely supports them.
Li Zhen stood at the gate, looking at the people below, gently raised his hands and pressed down.
"Quiet, quiet, listen to the adults."
The people closest to the door of Daotai Mansion saw Li Zhen's gesture and immediately shouted. Immediately, a series of shouts came out, and it was as noisy as the streets in a busy city had quieted down, and only the sound of breathing in and out could be heard.
