    August every year is the hottest period of the year in Quanzhou, and it is also the peak trade season.  At this time in previous years, all ports were filled with ships of all sizes that had recently entered the port, and the shore was crowded with merchants from all over the world who came to purchase goods. Every day, there was a bustle and crowds of people. But this year, the ports have become deserted, and the ports are also deserted in broad daylight.  Only a few white-headed seabirds were left, jumping on the bow of the empty boat to look for food.

    Most of the residents in the city usually rely on the sea for a living. Now that they have lost their source of livelihood, they are anxious. At first, they went to the Shifu Bureau every day to get information. But now, the Shibu Bureau is also closed, and there is a closed office notice at the door.  , not a single person was seen, and I don¡¯t know when the sea ban will end. Some poor people have no choice but to find other ways to make a living. The remaining families who can still survive are also frowning and sighing.  .

    This ancient city, which was originally full of vitality, seemed to have been drained of life overnight, and the whole town was lifeless.

    The general situation is like this, and the Zhen family is not immune. Although the previous incident did not cause any damage to the Zhen family, the loss was not light. In addition, now, the ship cannot go to sea, there is nothing to do, and there is no choice for those who are attached to it.  After the sailors who made a living at home were given three months of food relief money, they gradually laid off the people and closed the dockyard, leaving only the orphans and widows to continue to live. Zhen Yaoting and Zhang Da were in the dockyard, doing repairs and reconstruction of ships while they had nothing to do.  Warehouse thing.

    In the afternoon of this day, the whole Zhen family was quiet. Jiafu returned to her room from her grandmother's house and had no intention of taking a nap. She sat in front of the window and looked at the banana bushes outside the window. When she was gradually lost in thought, Grandma Liu came to report.  , saying that Yuzhu had come from the capital and was meeting Meng in the flower hall. Meng hurriedly sent her to call Jiafu over.

    Jiafu was overjoyed and hurriedly got up and went over. When she arrived at the flower hall, she saw her mother holding Yuzhu's hand. The two were chatting and laughing. Yuzhu looked a little thinner, but she was in good spirits. She was very happy to see Jiafu coming over.  He came up immediately and wanted to meet him. He still followed the previous etiquette, but was stopped by Jia Fu: "Now you are just like us, stop doing this." After saying that, he sat down and talked about the trip on the road. Jia Fu asked Pei You'an  current situation.

    It had been several months since he left. Only last month, he received a safe letter from Guanyi, saying that he had arrived in Beijing and everything was fine. He told her not to worry about it and to stay in Quanzhou for the time being.  No news.  Jiafu wanted to go back by herself, but thinking of his explanation before leaving, she, who had always been obedient, hesitated.  Just like this, worrying about gains and losses, I feel like my days have been passing like years recently. Today I suddenly saw Yuzhu coming. Apart from being pleasantly surprised, Yin also guessed that her arrival must be related to Pei You'an. After saying a few words, I couldn't help but ask. Sure enough, Yuzhu  She said that he had been seduced by the emperor and reused, and he went to the southwest to handle the naturalization of refugees. Before leaving, he arranged for her to come to Quanzhou, which was why she came to this trip.

    Meng asked how long it would take to go, and heard that it would be at least a year and a half. She couldn't help but let out a sigh, looked at her daughter, and smiled hurriedly: "That's good. It shows that Wanzai attaches great importance to him. Even a year will be a long time."  Yes, it¡¯s August now, a few months before the end of the year. When the new year comes out, he will probably come back.¡±

    Jiafu was disappointed in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she sat with Yuzhu for a while, knowing that she had worked hard on the road. Then she and Meng led their servants to clean up a large and bright room in the courtyard where they lived, and made arrangements for it.  He took her to see Mrs. Hu.  In the evening, Zhen Yaoting returned home from the dock. Hearing the arrival of Yuzhu, he was ecstatic and did not mention it.  From then on, Yuzhu lived as the niece of the Meng family. The servants of the Zhen family saw that she came from the capital, and her manners and demeanor were beyond the reach of even serious ladies from some wealthy local families. In addition, the mistress and the young lady were very affectionate with her.  , how dare you look down upon her, treat her like a young lady.

    After dinner, Jiafu went to Yuzhu's house and brought her some chilled fruits to cool off the heat. Yuzhu was arranging small items with a little girl. Seeing Jiafu personally delivering the fruits, she hurriedly came to greet her. Jiafu said, "I  Come and see you. If there is anything missing in your house, just tell me and don¡¯t give in."

    Yuzhu was very moved: "I came today, starting from the old lady, and then everyone in your family, no one has treated me badly. Where did I get the favor, but I am the one who received the salary without merit, and I feel really sorry."

    Jiafu said with a smile: "We have been good friends since before, why do you need to be separated from me? What's more, you are also close to me, and you didn't come to our house to be raised by us. It's just that you missed our old friendship and followed the uncle's arrangement.  Just help my mother. Although my family's business is not big, it has a lot of things to do. Now that my grandmother can't take charge of the affairs, it all falls on my mother's shoulders. I don't know how happy my mother is to have you here to help."

    Although the jade beads were arranged by Pei You'an, I felt a little uncomfortable when I first arrived. After hearing Jia Fu's words, my heart gradually became clear, and I secretly made up my mind to do my best in the future to live up to the Zhen family.  favor.  Said: "Grandma, don't worry, since I came here shamelessly, I will be determined from now on."?Trying my best, I hope I can be of some help.  "

    Jia Fu nodded and finally brought the topic to what she wanted to ask: "Sister Yuzhu, what did the uncle say when he went to find you in Ci'en Temple that day? Can you tell me everything you said to him during that time?  Shall I tell you again?"

    Yuzhu nodded, then repeated all Pei You'an's words at that time, and finally said: "After the uncle's instructions, I went to the Gentang Hall to worship the lotus throne of my ancestors, and spent the night in the Sutra Pavilion. The next morning, when I went there  , others left, and the monk said he went down the mountain before dawn."

    Jiafu asked a few more questions, but couldn't find anything else. She sat down for a while, told Yuzhu to rest early, and then went back to her room.  It's night, and I can't sleep.

    Pei You'an was stolen by the emperor and sent to the southwest to handle the unfinished naturalization of refugees. Before leaving, he arranged for Yuzhu to come to Quanzhou, not only to help him, but also to arrange a way for Yuzhu, who was originally determined to guard the old lady's funeral.  A very logical thing.  But for some reason, thinking back to the night before he left, how tender and reluctant he was towards her, Jiafu couldn't settle down, and it seemed as if something was about to happen.

    Before Mrs. Pei left, she showed her the secret between the emperor and Pei You'an.  Jiafu understood that in the eyes of the old lady, this might be a big hurdle for Pei Youan in his life. She was afraid that her grandson would not be able to pass this hurdle. She hoped that one day, when Pei Youan faced this big hurdle, she could be there to help him.  He helps.

    But Jia Fu is really a little scared. She is afraid that if one day, when things really come to pass, she will be able to have enough strength to stand beside Pei You'an and help Pei You'an, as her grandmother expected.

    She couldn¡¯t help but think of the young man named Yu whom he met that night when he took her out to sea and landed on the reef island.

    After the young man left that night, Pei Youan didn't tell her more, and Jia Fu didn't ask.  But when the young man called Pei You'an "Young Master," Jiafu heard him.

    In this world, what kind of student is qualified to call his teacher "young master"?

    Jiafu thought of the rumors from the old dynasty and some old things from Pei Youan's youth. During these days, she finally understood something vaguely.

    Pei You'an has his own creed and character, and Jiafu understands it all too well.

    But from the moment she figured out the boy's identity, she was worried about him.

    He traveled between day and night, seemingly with ease, but over the years, every step he took was as sharp as a knife.

    Jiafu also remembered something that her brother mentioned when he came back in the evening. He said that at the dock during the day, there was a rumor that in the past few days, someone had seen a dozen warships from the imperial court launching into the sea.  The guide is said to be going to attack the Japanese pirates' lair.

    My brother was very excited when he talked about it.

    Indeed, if the Japanese pirates are wiped out as soon as possible, it also means that the sea ban can be lifted as soon as possible, which is naturally good news.

    But Jia Fu felt very uneasy.

    She always has a bad feeling.

    Pei You'an, he still has something to hide from her, and it's a big deal.

    ¡­¡­

    Cui Yinshui followed Pei Youan to Jingxiang. Although the journey was tiring, he did not dare to slack off at all and served diligently all the way.  We arrived in Nanyang that day. We were only a few days away from the destination of our trip, the newly established Anhua County. That night, we finally arrived at the post house. We were stranded. When the postmaster saw the road guide, he knew that Pei You'an had come back to take care of the post.  , greeted him diligently, and said with a smile: "Master Pei is very virtuous and kind. The people are still thinking about him when he left in a hurry last time. They didn't expect to come back this time. It is really a blessing for Jingxiang!"

    Pei You'an asked a few questions about people's livelihood, and then settled down. Late at night, Cui Yinshui brought tea and knocked on the door. He saw that he was still sitting behind the table, concentrating as if writing a letter.

    Cui Yinshui didn't dare to come near, and just stood waiting by the door. Gradually, his eyes were sore, and he persuaded: "Sir, you have been traveling hard during the day, and you have to get up early tomorrow morning. It's better to rest. Before I came out, my godfather told me, Sir  This trip is a hard job, and I have to serve you well. If you are exhausted, you may be afraid that your godfather will find out and blame me."

    Pei You'an always wrote a thousand words, but tonight for some unknown reason, let alone to whom he was writing, he stopped writing several times. When he heard Cui Yinshui speaking, he raised his head, slowly put down the pen in his hand, and said, "That's fine.  I¡¯m sleeping, you should go and have some rest too.¡±

    Cui Yinshui hurriedly spread the bedding for him, and waited for Pei You'an to get on the bed before blowing on the lamp for him. He went out quietly and closed the door. He said nothing all night. The next day, Cui Yinshui got up early and waited outside for Pei You'an to get up.  After a long time, there was no movement inside. He boldly pushed the door open and entered, only to see that the bed was neatly covered with quilts and Pei Youan was not in the room.

    Cui Yinshui hurriedly called Yi Cheng.  Yi Cheng said: "Master Pei left at the fourth watch. He said that you had a hard journey and asked me not to disturb you."

    Cui Yinshui was surprised.

    During his trip to the southwest, in addition to serving, Li Yuangui also told him to pay attention to Pei You'an's movements on the way, and if he noticed anything unusual, he must immediately inform the local secret place.  There was nothing unusual along the way, but I didn't expect that this morning he would leave without saying goodbye. He paused his feet, turned around and was about to leave in a hurry. A guard who was traveling with him stopped him and said with a smile: "Eunuch Cui, Master Pei has ordered  He said you have worked hard on this journey and asked the kids to leave you here to rest for a few days. Once you have rested, it will not be too late to look for him again."
