    After arranging Fan Yi and Huang Mingcheng's respective tasks, Fang Hua breathed a sigh of relief.  The government affairs of Guisui were previously handled by Huang Mingcheng, and all affairs were handled in an orderly manner. Now that he has been officially appointed to take charge of Guisui, he should be able to do things more easily.

    Seeing that Fang Hua had finished his instructions, Fan Yi stepped forward and reported: "Sir, there is something I need to remind you. Since the former governor Baofen was transferred to the capital and Ding Baoquan took office as the governor of Shanxi, he has sent people to summon you to Taiyuan three times. I  We have all found reasons to shirk it, now that you have returned to Suiyuan, you should go to Taiyuan to meet the new governor, otherwise it will be easy for the governor to hate you, which will be detrimental to our future development."

    "Well, it's indeed time to meet the new governor." Fang Hua nodded. He secretly went to Shanghai before. He was unable to attend the new governor's appointment and the two collective meetings of provincial officials. I think there are many people in Taiyuan's official circles.  They all criticize themselves. There is still more than a year before the Wuchang Uprising. At this time, we cannot attract attention. We can only take the time to go to Taiyuan City to "please apologize", so as not to let the new governor think that we are unruly.

    "Your Excellency, although we in Guisui have a special status, we are still subordinates of Shanxi, so we still have to go through some formalities." Fan Yi said.

    Fang Hua laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Brother Ziyuan, don't worry, I still understand this truth. I will go to Taiyuan in a few days. I think with the magistrate's magnanimity, he can at most give me a try and not embarrass me.  of."

    Four days later, Fang Hua, escorted by Yang Zhi and others, arrived at Taiyuan City.

    When we arrived at Taiyuan City, it was already dark.  Fang Hua took his guards to his courtyard in Taiyuan City, planning to rest for a night before visiting the governor the next day.

    Looking at this house that he had not seen for several years, Fang Hua felt a little emotional in his heart. He did not expect that it had been more than two years since he left Taiyuan.

    "Sir, shall I call the door?" Yang Zhi asked for instructions.

    Fang Hua took a deep breath, then nodded slightly.  When he led his troops to leave Taiyuan, this house remained.  Because he knew that he would come back one day, he left this house behind.

    Seeing Fang Hua nodding, Yang Zhi walked up and knocked hard on the door.  After a long time, someone asked from the door: "Who is outside?"

    With a "squeak", the vermilion wooden door opened. An old man in his fifties leaned out and took a look outside. He was startled. He didn't expect so many people to be around the door.

    "Master, are you back?" Ah Fu looked at the leader Fang Hua with excitement.

    Fang Hua recalled carefully and then remembered that the old man in front of him was a homeless man he took in when he was in Taiyuan.  That day, Fang Hua discovered Ah Fu who was about to starve to death by the city wall. He felt soft-hearted and took him home. After rescuing him, he found out that he was homeless and made him a concierge.

    "Afu, how have you been in health these past two years?" Fang Hua asked with a smile.

    Ah Fu replied excitedly: "Thanks to Master, I have enough to eat, warm clothes, and a strong body."

    "I'll be living here these days. These people are my guards. Please arrange for them." After driving for two days in a row, Fang Hua felt a little tired. After chatting for a while, he turned to Ah Fu.  commanded.

    "Look, I'm just talking to the master. I'm going to ask someone to clean up the room." Ah Fu slapped his head and ran towards the courtyard, shouting as he ran: "Everyone is out, the master is back, hurry up and clean up the room."  ¡±

    There were seven or eight servants left in this house in Taiyuan. Ah Fu shouted, and these seven or eight servants hurriedly ran out of their respective rooms, hurriedly cleaning up the rooms and arranging dinner.

    Fang Hua's room was naturally tidied up first. Fang Hua felt a little tired, so after giving a few simple instructions, he went into the room to rest regardless of the others.

    In the early morning of the next day, as soon as Fang Hua walked out of the room, someone came up to ask for instructions: "Master, do you want breakfast now?"

    Standing in front of him was a slender maid. Fang Hua looked at the familiar and charming-looking woman and asked, "Are you He Hongyu?"

    He Hongyu quickly bent down and replied: "Yes, sir."

    Fang Hua originally thought that she would find someone to marry her off in the next few years, but she didn't expect that she would still be here. But it doesn't matter. Anyway, it doesn't matter if she has one more person or one less person here, and she has such a pretty maid.  , also quite pleasing to the eye.

    Fang Hua smiled and then ordered: "Bring me some hot water first, and then prepare breakfast."

    After breakfast, Fang Hua took care of his hair and reluctantly removed the hair from his forehead.??Cleaned and combed the braid on the back of her head again.  He also put on his second-grade military attach¨¦ uniform, and his whole body immediately took on a new look and became much more energetic.

    "It's a pity that Yang Zhi came back from the governor's office and reported that the governor was ill and could not summon Fang Hua today.  Fang Hua didn't care when he heard this. This was a warning from the governor to express his anger at him for not being summoned by the governor the last three times.

    It was not until four days later that Fang Hua received a summons from Shanxi Governor Ding Baoquan from someone sent by the governor's office.

    Fang Hua came to the governor's yamen. When the junior officials in the yamen saw Fang Hua, who was dressed as a second-grade military attache, they all nodded and bent over to please him, embodying the idiom "judging a book by its appearance" incisively and vividly.

    After waiting in the corridor outside the living room for another half-quarter of an hour, Ding Baoquan asked his servants to invite Fang Hua in.

    Ding Baoquan, courtesy name Hengfu and nickname Peifen, is Han nationality and originally from Nanchang Prefecture, Jiangxi.  When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded, he accompanied him to Xi'an and then returned to Beijing. Later, he served as the inspector of Shanxi Jining Road and Shanxi.  At that time, the imperial court attached great importance to running schools, and Ding Baoquan responded actively in Shanxi and made great achievements in running schools. Because he was famous for running schools, he was promoted to Shanxi Chief Envoy. In the first year of Xuantong, he was promoted to Shanxi Governor and became a feudal official.

    After Fang Hua walked into the living room, he saw Ding Baoquan sitting in the main seat. He clasped his hands in greeting and said, "Fang Hua, commander of Suiyuan City and commander of the rear route of Shanxi Patrol Battalion, meets the governor."

    Ding Baoquan glanced at it, waved his hand lightly and said: "Forgive me!"

    "Thank you, sir." Fang Hua said with pretended gratitude.

    "Speaking of it, you are the number one military attach¨¦ in Shanxi, but this is the first time we have met. Is the military affairs in the Guisui area very busy?" Ding Baoquan sat on the main seat, holding a tea cup in one hand, and asked calmly,  There was no wave on his face.

    "Back to your lord, I have long wanted to visit the governor. Unfortunately, Guisui has just been pacified. Occasionally, there are a few unsighted bandits wandering into the Guisui area. I am afraid that something unexpected will happen and let them cross Guisui."  area, harassing the people in the mainland, so I had to take command. Now that the situation in Guisui has stabilized, and several larger groups of Mongolian bandits have been wiped out, I will come to Taiyuan this time to see you." Fang Hua replied, Come here  Fang Hua had previously found out several of Fan Yi's excuses for rejecting the governor's Yamen summons, so it was reasonable to say this.

    Ding Baoquan smiled slightly and said pointedly: "If it is really as you said, then I will feel more at ease."

    Fang Hua didn't understand what he meant, so he could only say brightly: "Your Excellency, the governor has given you a compliment."
