The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 93
"Hearing the folded willows in this nocturne, who can't afford the love of the hometown."

Fold willows, Baqiao fold willows.

Throughout the ages, those who came out of Guanzhong used the Baqiao Ferry as the main road for east-west travel, and there are many willows in the Guanzhong area. Therefore, as time goes by, there is an allusion of parting at Baqiao and breaking willows.

Those who leave and those who send off are separated here.

Willow color every year, Ba Ling is farewell.

"Let's go!"

I don't know who shouted this sentence. The people who left on the Baqiao held the broken willow branches, said a few words to their relatives and friends, and then turned their heads and left, or sat in a carriage, or rode a horse.

Bai Gui also bid farewell to Bai Youde, Bai Wangshi, Liu Baoer, Zhou Yuan and others who rushed over to see them off, rode on his half-sized black horse, with a newly made Guanshan knife on his waist, and followed the caravan Walk leisurely towards Tongguan.

Along the way, it was quite peaceful.

I ran into three or four gangs of bandits, all of whom were dozens of people, but after seeing the huge caravan and some escorting soldiers, they all took a clean look from Hanyang, and hurriedly avoided them, not daring to go forward again. nuisance.

This is a group of soldiers specially dispatched by Governor Fang, with three to 40 soldiers, to escort the students studying in Japan.

When you arrive in Yu Province, there is a train going south to Shanghai.

Taking the train is undoubtedly much safer and much faster. The Wu family is powerful and has booked five carriages, three carriages are dedicated to stocking commercial goods, and the other two carriages are for people to live in.

It's just that their identities are different. More than 100 caravan stewards and buddies are crowded in one compartment.And the other compartment is for students studying in Japan, about 20 or so, all are children of officials in Qin Province, and officials in charge of sending them to study abroad.

Six days later, I arrived at the Shanghai stock market.

The housekeeper of the Wu Mansion is very skilled, so he first looked for a rickshaw dealer. The person who is most familiar with the Shanghai stock market is not the current Shanghai stock market Taoist, nor is it a celebrity gentry, but a rickshaw driver.

Rickshaws are very foreign, and they were imported from Toyo.But now it is not called a rickshaw, but a Dongyang car.The origin of rickshaws in later generations is because in the second year of the Republic of China, the Public Concession Ministry of Industry issued an order. In order to distinguish private Dongyang cars from Dongyang cars that specialize in pulling people, all Dongyang cars that pull people are yellow, so there are rickshaws. The origin of the name.

"Brother Meihe, I didn't expect that practicing martial arts would have such benefits. I don't get motion sickness very much. I regret not learning more from the Nursing Academy..."

Wu Huai got off the train first, and his mental state was not very good along the way. In fact, the current train is a steam train, which is very bumpy, so he vomited and diarrhea on the train, and felt much better when he stepped on the ground at the boundary of Shanghai.

"This is your laziness in equestrian class, not martial arts."

Liu Mingda got on the rickshaw and said with a smile, his complexion is not very good at the moment, but he is better than Wu Huaixian.

The train rocks back and forth, a bit like riding a horse.

"Okay, just go to the place where you live and sleep for a few minutes. This is the last mint leaf. You can chew it." Bai Gui threw a cloth bag from his arms, which contained mint leaves, which are a common traditional Chinese medicine. , has the functions of dispelling wind and evil, dispelling wind and dissipating heat, and invigorating the body with fragrance. It is also a common motion sickness device in this era.

Wu Huaixian and Liu Mingda originally had them too, but they ran out.

He has strong energy and blood, and he doesn't get motion sickness very much, so it's basically useless.

Jingle Bell.

The rickshaw driver got up and shook the wind chime tied to the carport. They took a step, pulled steadily, and ran very well. After a while, they passed through the dilapidated thatched hut and came to the brightly lit Shili Yangchang.

Inside and outside the city, two worlds.

Bai Gui recalled the first time he entered the provincial capital of Qin Province, but the more prosperous the area, the wider the gap between the rich and the poor, and the more shocking it was, so he simply closed his eyes.

Also sleepy.

Along the way, how can we not be sleepy after being exhausted by boats and cars.

Soon after, the Shanshan Guild Hall.

The real lifeline business of the Wu family in Qin Province is not the raw silk business, but the salt merchant, and also takes care of the cloth, tea, and leather goods industries.And when people leave their hometowns, they often form groups with their fellow villagers. Therefore, Shanxi merchants form business gangs and join forces with Shanxi merchants. There are Shanxi guild halls everywhere, and the Shanghai stock market is no exception...

The hall is luxuriously decorated and has many rooms.

It's free for them.

Entered a room, went to bed to rest.

After resting for a day or two, Bai Gui also recovered his former spirit and practiced stone locks in the courtyard.It is obviously not allowed to practice martial arts on the train. After more than ten days of not practicing, my body feels uncomfortable.

Whoosh, whoosh.

Sweat dripped from his muscular bare shoulders, and he threw down the stone lock.A helper next to him immediately handed him hot water and a towel to wipe his body.

"Bai Xianggong, I have already asked someone to find out. This is the address of Liu Xueyu, the director of Fudan Public School."

The steward of the Wu residence strode forward and said.

"Thank you, Old Wu."

Bai Gui thanked the steward of the Wu Mansion. When he parted, he also went to see General Zhang at the New Army Training Office in Qin Province. General Zhang asked him to deliver a letter to Liu Xueyu, the director of Aurora Public School. I'm familiar with it, so I asked the housekeeper of Wu's house to inquire.

Walking out of the hall, a rickshaw has already parked outside the door.

Sitting in the car, Bai Gui shouted: "French Concession, Lujiawan No. 30 No. [-] Villa."

Fudan Public School was formerly known as Aurora Public School. Aurora is Sanskrit, which means China. Later, the French Catholic Jesuits tried to change Aurora Public School into a church school, so Ma Xiangbo left with a group of teachers from his country and founded Fudan Public School. study.

The word Fudan of Fudan Public School is taken from the "Sun and Moon Guanghua, Dan Fudan Xi" in "Shangshu", which not only means not forgetting Sinian Public School, but also revives China.

And this name was chosen by Liu Xueyu.

The Shanshan Guild Hall was not in the foreign concession, so we didn't see many foreigners. When we entered the French Concession, we could see groups of foreigners coming and going everywhere.

After paying five coppers to the coachman, Bai Gui got out of the car.

There was a knock on the door.

"you are?"

The old lady who opened the door looked at the boy suspiciously.

"Please tell Mr. Liu that I am from Qin Province, and I am from Bailu Academy."

Bai Gui smiled with a calm face.

Liu Xueyu was Yu Youren's alias in order to avoid being chased by the Qing soldiers, and Yu Youren was also a remnant of Guan Xueyu.Nowadays, there are two lines of Taoism in Guan Xue, namely Liu Guyu's line and He Ruilin's line.Liu Xueyu is from Liu Guyu's lineage, and he is from He Ruilin's lineage, so the relationship is very close.

"It turned out to be a member of Mr.'s family."

The old lady looked at Bai Gui in surprise, but she knew that Mr. Liu was from Qin Province, and even after years of speaking with a Qin Province accent, he could occasionally hear a few words, and besides, he did not hide his ancestral home in the French Concession.

Please go in and wait on the sofa in the living room.

Not long after, Liu Xueyu, with a big head and a beard, came down.

"You are a student of Brother Meng Zhou. Unexpectedly, unexpectedly, after so many years, you can still see people from your hometown coming..." Liu Xueyu was a little excited. He met a lot of people from Qin Province in the Shanghai market, but it was really exciting to see his younger generation. not much.
