Chapter 96: Far and Near (2)
Here Qu Ning blackened the Japanese without a trace of "lady diplomacy", and over there Tang Shaoshuai went home that night wearing the stars and the moon, but as soon as he entered the door, Qu Ning also found faint traces of black face on his face.
You can tell at a glance that he is in a bad mood.
Qu Ning thought about it, and went to the small kitchen in person-to say that this Shenyang Tang Mansion is so good, she can easily cook anything she wants, and this cooking makes some small dishes that she is absolutely impossible to cook in the capital for dinner, which is also one of the pleasures of husband and wife at this time.
Because of the suspicion that he was "wronged" outside today, Qu Ning cleaned up a bowl of clear soup noodles in three or two clicks, poached eggs and simple steaks with a handful of green vegetables, she looked at it for a while, and always felt that although the color was good-looking, she didn't know where it was a bit of a fly in the ointment, and finally she suddenly had an idea, held her chin and thought about it, and rummaged through the drawers and cabinets to find a tomato and beat the tomato sauce out and draw a smile on the poached egg, looking at the ^_^ golden expression, she whispered to herself in her heart: Alas, I've never coaxed people so much in my life.,This skill is generally a must-have for girls.ใ
Take a look, I mean, for you and me, the little coaxing skills that I haven't used in 800 years have gone out of the mountain again.
After she finished this, she took the plate with her own hands and walked back to the room cautiously, while feeling ruthless: if the goods dare to dislike the picky taste of not being delicious and picking and choosing after eating, well, she will make the ^_^ bowl a reality.
(โฏโตโกโฒ)โฏ(โปโโป, so the cook's temper is really big.
She entered the door with a sea bowl and smelled the smell of the food in her hand, Tang Shaoshuai was stunned at first, and then looked at her: "You made it yourself?" โ
Qu Ning smiled and carefully put the sea bowl on the table, then flew a glance at him, and said modestly with a smirk: "My cooking skills are not very good, but it's not early today, and I can't call those cooks up specially, so I just picked up the ready-made ones and made two things......"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Shaoshuai didn't say a word, took the chopsticks over and pulled the bowl in front of him, the lightning speed was no different from the big dog guarding the food, it was completely pounced.
Then the bowl was pulled in front of him, and Tang Shaoshuai had already "huh", and raised his head with a smile, the light flashing in his eyes didn't know what it meant: "Sure enough, I asked more." "Who else can paint a smiley face on poached eggs, but his wife, who can have a novel idea at this time?
It was comforting, and the bowl of noodles was heavier than any delicacy he had ever tasted.
Tang Shaoshuai was cautious, but he filled his mouth with food, and he ate quickly and deliciously.
Qu Ning looked at his swift but still elegant movements, and breathed a sigh of relief almost invisibly: she didn't even notice it, she was actually a little apprehensive about "will it be difficult for me to make it".
Tang Shaoshuai finally ate the poached egg smile, the bowl was already cleaner than his face, and even the soup was not left, Tang Shaoshuai didn't put down the dishes and chopsticks until he finished eating the last point, and breathed a deep sigh of relief as if he was very satisfied: "Although the lady makes it delicious, as long as you eat it once in a while, you are already very satisfied with your husband." โ
"...... "the groove really still dislikes me?"
Qu Ning's eyes widened: It's too much! You see that you are so skilled in licking the bowl, you still dare to dislike my craftsmanship, and your soul is faint, and you really tear down the bridge when you cross the river, and scold the chef after eating.
She was thinking about how to get mad, and before she could think of a wording, the man had already reached over and grabbed her hand tightly: "Madame's hands are so delicate, cooking or something, Madame doesn't need to do it herself." His eyes seemed to be brewing with incomparably gentle blue waves, and at this time, she felt that her heart was about to melt when she looked at her.
Silently bowed his head and his face was hot, and Tang Shaoshuai over there leaned over and kissed her on the side of the cheek, and then smiled proudly as if he had succeeded in stealing incense, and then sat solemnly and began to talk about his affairs today.
"Today I went to inspect the current arsenal and steel mill in Shenyang, and I walked down one by one, but none of them satisfied me!" His face turned irritated almost instantly when he said this, and his face was very ugly.
Some of his actions yesterday were almost โก to show the Japanese that he would never compromise.
Originally, there were some provisions in Article 21 such as the cession of northern land and the opening of railways, and he also made it clear that he would never agree: to cede land? Okay, if you have the ability, you can get it yourself! The garrison can be withdrawn, but when the local people make trouble, and there are "guerrillas" and other armed forces, it will not be under his jurisdiction. It's the same with the railway, if it really comes to the point where it can't be cleaned up, he would rather cut off the entire traffic and smash the railroad to the fire, than give up such a pipeline to the Japanese because of a paper treaty!
If they want it, they can only fight, anyway, if they don't want to take it, it's just two words, no way.
Since his attitude is clear, he must have the confidence to support it later, but it is a pity that he went to check the logistics and combat preparations from house to house today, but none of them can satisfy him: the optimization of weapons in the arsenal and the opening of new weapons are not going well, the steel output of the steel mill is still not high, and even the scientific research of grain seeds has not made much progress.
In a word, it is that these people have reported good news and not bad news to the headquarters in Beijing over the years, and there are some things that if he hadn't come to Shenyang in person, I'm afraid he would still be in the dark.
It's not over, he went back to the official residence, and there were still things that bothered him.
"Those old masters came to the official residence to talk to me, saying that for those barbarians, we must have the tolerance of the Heavenly Empire, saying that we are in China and cannot tolerate a few women," Tang Shaoshuai's face became darker and darker the more he spoke: If he hadn't looked at those old men who were indeed not young, would he have allowed them to bother him for a long time?
Qu Ning listened to his complaints, looked at his black face, and teased him in his heart, "You also have today", but at the same time, a sense of helplessness that is difficult to describe arises: How much progress has the face of the so-called Celestial Empire blocked the pace of progress?
In those days, the sea ban was opened, and it was also this group of people who came out to ramble on the "rules of the ancestors", and even in the previous dynasty, "all countries came to the court", and every time they had to send envoys from small countries to pay tribute, they had to pay tribute to be beaten as "local tyrants", and that was also the so-called face of this group of people.
Now too, she and Tang Shaoshuai obviously knew that there must be a female room among these Japanese women, but they couldn't directly expel them from Huaxia, and if they moved too much, they had to be nagged.
Qu Ning stretched out his hand and patted his hand: "Fortunately, those ladies are grateful for your behavior yesterday, and it is not unpleasant at both ends, as for the affairs of those old masters...... I'll go and visit the great Confucian who is here in two days, and see if I can ask him to come out and say something...... Husband endure again? โ
She coaxed him in an extraordinarily gentle tone.
Tang Shaoshuai couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips, the arc was so soft that he almost didn't even notice it.
His voice lowered: "By the way, the news from Shangjing has come, the big presidential election will be reconvened after the beginning of next month, father ......" He paused and sighed lightly, "Father will marry Feng Siyan at the beginning of next month." โ
Qu Ning looked up in surprise: "So fast? โ
"Can't wait......" he narrowed.
Qu Ning was silent and seemed to take a long breath, and his face was vaguely a little more dignified and tired: when Feng Siyan had the status of a stepwife, it would be a mountain pressing on their heads. It's not a trouble, it's a lot of trouble!
Fortunately, they are far away in Shenyang, if they are in the same Beijing, just the word "filial piety" can make Tang Shaoshuai's back ache.
An indescribable sense of urgency suddenly rose in her heart.
Tang Shaoshuai squinted his eyes, and there were still some words, but he didn't say anything to Qu Ning.
arrested Speaker Sun, he originally relied on the unfair competition method of buying votes to rise to power, and his family was naturally extremely wealthy.
This kind of solidity means that his family originally had three silver numbers, and the shops in the grange were not counted, and there were not as many as a few thousand people who relied on his family to eat.
"Thousands of miles to be an official position", since it took a lot of investment to become the speaker, he naturally will not forget to scrape the ground after taking the position, this collusion between officials and businessmen, when it comes to banning Speaker Sun's family wealth, many of the assets under his name that have been confiscated actually belong to other merchants who colluded with him - this time, it is indeed a hornet's nest.
These businessmen who have lost their interests by him are ready to move at the bottom, and today they are just begging to come to his door and ask him to raise his noble hand, but the gifts they sent were politely sent back by him, this kind of tactful refusal for him, I am afraid that it will not satisfy those people - they must have a back-up move, and this wave is just a temptation, and the next wave is afraid that it will be borrowed or even secretly fighting, and then I am afraid that things will not be so peaceful. He expected this after stroking Speaker Sun, so he was not afraid, but he didn't intend to let Qu Ning also get involved in this quagmire, if there was any danger, it would be enough for him to bear it alone.
After all, if it is not handled well, what chamber of commerce will go bankrupt, prices will skyrocket, and even strike the market and strike classes are possible things, if it really comes to that point, the news has reached Beijing, and his father, who is busy doing face projects for the presidential election, will definitely think that his son is not doing it, and he will do everything to collapse his platform and lose his face - when the time comes, he will also think about those rich countries and strong soldiers, and directly pay the money back to Beijing to eat dry rice and retire early. However, if he messes up, he can still roll the package home, if Qu Ning comes out but stabs the leak, I'm afraid he won't even get such a result.
The current situation in Shenyang is actually a powder keg that will explode at one point, and many people are staring at him and her to see how they will deal with it.
Now the pressure of those officials and gentry is far greater than the things he said, and the reason why he chose not to tell Qu Ning is probably the only thoughtfulness he can do.
In the first twenty years, he would only fight, and in the next twenty years, he had to press his heart that only wanted to carry a knife and go to the battlefield immediately, and he only learned one thing from his father who could pit his son during this time: many things he could not get from the battlefield, he could get from the balance of power, and he could no longer let his wife work as hard as in Beijing, and now she was no longer a princess, but he was alone, madam. And as a man, it is a duty to protect his wife.
