Chapter 257: Chongxi's Relatives

On that occasion, the Anglo-French army launched an attack on Bali Bridge, the choke point of the Beijing Division, and Prince Gong saw Seng Lingqin command the last iron cavalry of the Qing Dynasty to fight against foreign soldiers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The fiasco made him truly and desperately see the cold weapons of the best cavalry of the Qing Dynasty in the face of foreign guns and cannons. No matter what lofty ambitions there are, in the face of such a tragic situation, they will be firmly restrained by objective weakness, and such helplessness is tantamount to a slap in the face for a person who intends to display his talents. A pampered position allows him to maintain a sense of superiority at home, but when facing foreign invaders, he is completely helpless and helpless. The signing of the Treaty of Beijing, as the representative of the ruling class of the invincible Qing Empire, gave away the land and interests to foreigners in exchange for a respite, and Prince Gong's suffering in this situation cannot be understood and imagined by outsiders.

Perhaps, this is the sadness that he saw too clearly.

It seems to be a certain law, in any era, it is often the people who are completely carefree like dreams, and only they can be in troubled times without knowing it; And if a person wants to be worry-free, it is best for him to only have a sense of the present moment, not look forward and not recall. Because Yixin couldn't see the clear future of the Qing Empire, the deep worry and the sense of dying struggle to turn the tide always surrounded him.

Since its approval on January 20, 1861, the Yamen, the prime minister presided over by Yi Xin, has overseen the power of foreign affairs and finance, military, education, mining, transportation, and other aspects related to foreign countries. As a matter of fact, he took advantage of the fact that he was in charge of the premier's yamen to give full support to the Western-style officials in their efforts to strengthen the country under the slogan of strengthening the army and enriching the country, and to learn from the advanced science of the West. This campaign is a bold attempt, and it is not easy to persist until now.

However, with the continuous expansion of his power, the Empress Dowager Cixi, who had suffered from the bird's spirit of Su Shun and other ministers in the early days of his power, became increasingly suspicious of him, and no longer placed unconditional trust in him as before. That kind of restraint and fetters, intentional or unintentional, deepened his predicament and confusion.

Although under the persuasion of Li Hongzhang (the actual creator was Lin Yizhe), he partially regained Cixi's trust in the matter of "garden workers", he knew that the relationship between him and Cixi could not be restored to the previous one.

"I know how much of the sixth master's heart." Wen Xiang looked at Yixin, who was shining with tears in the corners of his eyes, and persuaded, "It's not good to always think about the past things, so you still have to look ahead!" The road ahead is difficult, but there are many companions, the current situation is not easy to come by, it is the time when the sixth master needs to display his talents, don't forget the sixth master, there are still people looking at you below! If the sixth master is discouraged, how can you let those descendants like Lin Kunyu be good? ”

Prince Gong smiled bitterly and nodded, "It seems that Wen Xiang really regarded Lin Kunyu as a substitute, so I'll help Wen Xiang!" It's just that I don't know how long Wen Xiang will have to train him? ”

"The topic of the article, he has almost done it," Wen Xiang's eyes sparkled, "Next, it's time for the topic of Wu!" ”

"The subject of Wu?" Prince Gong was taken aback.

"That's right! Wu's topic is to see how he breaks this great trouble for Japan! Wen Xiang said.

"Isn't this topic a bit too big for him?" Prince Gong asked in surprise.

"He's the one who can do big things! Not to mention anything else, just this one of the 'Western Nations Tongsheng Sect' to solve the problem, you and I can't do it! It's also unexpected! Wen Xiang smiled, "I want to see how he broke Japan this time!" ”

"Wen Xiang thinks he can do it?" Prince Gong asked.

"How can it not be done? This person is used to coming up with strange tricks, and this time he went to Taiwan to Fufan and promote the naturalization of the Japanese, which is the magic of restraining Japan! Wen Xiang said, "Although this matter is small, it can be glimpsed in it." I think after this incident, he will have a better and more powerful trick! ”

"That's okay, since Wen is so optimistic about him, I'll follow and see how he breaks the wolf ambitions of the Japanese!" Prince Gong said with a smile, "However, the top priority now is to lay down the bait as early as possible according to what he said in his letter, arrange it properly, and wait for the Japanese to take the bait!" ”

At this time, Prince Gong thought of the good show that was about to start, and the gloomy color just now was swept away.

"That's it! This time, let's take a good breath of the previous evil spirit! Wen Xiang also laughed.

At about the same time, Lin Yizhe, who was far away in Fuzhou, sneezed several times in a row.

"With so many sneezes, how many people are worried about me?" Lin Yizhe easily stopped this series of sneezes, and muttered to himself, provoking the servants and maids around him to cover their mouths.

Aya happened to come in at this time, noticed the smiles on the faces of the people around her, and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

When the servants and maids saw the forehead silk dressed as a woman, they all smiled and said hello in unison. treats her with the same courtesy as Lin Puqing's adopted daughter Li Sizhu.

Now everyone in the Lin Mansion knows that the girl from the Fan clan brought back by Lin Yizhe, like Li Sizhu, has become Lin Puqing's pearl.

For this innocent and simple girl, whether it is the Shen Mansion or the Lin Mansion, the top and bottom like her very much.

After Shen Baozhen told Lin Puqing about the forehead, Lin Puqing was a little unimpressed. But when Lin Yizhe came to meet Lin Puqing with Eaya, Lin Puqing fell in love with her at the first glance of Eaya. Later, Eya used the unique skills of Paiwan women to cook a number of delicious dishes suitable for the elderly for Lin Puqing, which made her appetite greater, her diet improved, and her body improved significantly, which made Lin Puqing's good impression of her double. From that day on, Eya, like Li Sizhu, has become an indispensable person by Lin Puqing's side.

It was also on that day that Lin Puqing agreed to Shen Baozhen's proposal to ask Lin Yizhe to marry Eya to give her "Chongxi", and asked Lin Yizhe to do a happy event as soon as possible.

Although Aya doesn't know much Chinese, this does not prevent communication between her and Lin Puqing. Seeing his elderly aunt talking with Eya every time he talked happily, Lin Yizhe was not only amused, but also relieved.

Now, Lin Yizhe also believes a little, maybe, as Shen Baozhen said, Eaya's entry into the door can make Lin Puqing's condition improve and even recover.

Aya showed everyone a good-looking smile as a reply, and then couldn't wait to walk to Lin Yizhe's side. She naturally stretched out her hand and wanted to hold Lin Yizhe's hand, but she may have suddenly noticed that there were a lot of people around, her face turned red, and her hand retracted. She saw Lin Yizhe sneezing, so she took out a colorful brocade handkerchief and stepped forward to gently wipe it for Lin Yizhe.

Of course, the servants and maids around noticed her subtle movements, and in line with the principle of "do not look at indecent manners", everyone quickly finished the work at hand, and retreated one by one, leaving only the two of them in the room.

Lin Yizhe let her take care of himself, his gaze fell on her delicate wrist, where a pair of silver sparkling fish-shaped bracelets came into view.

"This bracelet is so beautiful." Lin Yizhe couldn't help but admire, "Where did you come from?" I haven't seen you bring it before. ”

This is a pair of bracelets hand-woven with silver bars, the whole bracelet is made into a fish that connects head to tail, it is very delicate, and the shape is simple and playful and cute, with the hand of the forehead, it looks very good.

Judging from the pulp on the surface of the silver bracelet, this should be a pair of old silver bracelets that are some years old.

"Auntie gave it." Aya smiled and said word by word, "It's her...... ...... when you were a girl Gift! ”

Lin Yizhe learned that this pair of fish-shaped silver bracelets turned out to be a gift from Lin Puqing to her, and it was likely to be a treasure from Lin Puqing's girlhood, and understood that Lin Puqing must have liked her very much, so he would give her such a precious and commemorative gift, and couldn't help but be happy for her.

"Newly made clothes? So beautiful? Lin Yizhe saw that there was no one around, so he smiled and hugged her in his arms, his hand touched the smooth and bright clothes on her body, and asked casually.

When Eya first came, the clothes on her body were all cloth, and the clothes she wore today, although they are still the traditional style of the Paiwan tribe, have become brocade, and the color has changed from the original black, red and yellow to red, yellow and white.

"Auntie gave it...... Material, I ...... done. Aya replied with a shy smile when she heard him praise herself.

Lin Yizhe was talking to Eaya, and the porter shouted outside: "Master, Lin Guan asks to see you." ”

"Forest pipe belt? Which forest pipe belt? Lin Yizhe asked strangely.

The porter realized that he hadn't said it clearly just now, and hurriedly added: "If you go back to the master, it is Lin Guoxiang Lin who is in charge of the 'Flying Thunder' ship." ”

The name "Lin Guoxiang" is very familiar to Lin Yizhe.

Lin Yizhe's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Hurry up, please." ”

The porter answered, and hurried down.

"You have business, go quickly......" Aya hugged him tenderly, kissed him on the cheek, and then let him go, "I'll go...... Look at my aunt. After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Lin Yizhe to answer, and ran away like a gust of wind.

Lin Yizhe looked at her fresh and beautiful figure, listened to her happy laughter in the breeze, and was in a very comfortable mood, he took a deep breath of the air that still had the fragrance of flowers and plants on her body, settled down, and got up and went to the living room to see Lin Guoxiang.

Lin Yizhe came to the living room, Lin Guoxiang saw Lin Yizhe come out, immediately stood up from the chair, walked quickly to Lin Yizhe, and paid a big salute.

Seeing Lin Guoxiang, who had a slightly dark face and the smell of the sea tide all over his body, saluted him, Lin Yizhe hurriedly ran a few steps and stepped forward to support him.

Lin Guoxiang looked at Lin Yizhe with some surprise, he didn't know that Lin Yizhe at this time, the moment he saw him, recalled the past in his original historical time and space!
