Chapter 110: The Daughters

The gorgeous plum blossom shelf bed with the double moon cave door filled with the atmosphere of wealth and wealth looks like a small palace with a low red curtain from the outside.

In the comfortable and spacious golden dragon couch, Ye Zhao sat at the head of the bed, and the kang table on the side and the shelf bed was delicately combined, full of documents.

In the yellow brocade quilt on his side, the pretty face of Lan Guiren and the jade arm of the deceitful frost and snow were exposed, his face was still flushed, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, as if he was still immersed in the pain and happiness of being bullied by Ye Zhao last night.

Finally, the beauty's long black eyelashes moved, and she slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw the smile on the corner of Ye Zhao's mouth, Lan Guiren was stunned, and hurriedly retracted her jade arm back into the quilt.

Ye Zhao refused to let her go, the devil's claws chased her in like a shadow, feasted on her crisp chest, and lay down, hugging her seductive body that was paralyzed into flower mud, bright yellow and noble belly pocket, mysterious peach blossom source, and even more conquest.

Being hugged by Ye Zhao and begging for pleasure, Lan Guiren was like a little sheep at this time, and there was no room for resistance, so he could only beg in a low voice: "You, didn't you have enough last night?" ”

Ye Zhao frowned and said, "What are you?" ”

Lan Guiren had no choice, so he had to whisper: "Long live the ...... Ye" The kind of helpless soft charm, and the even more provocative Ye Zhao's heart was itchy and hard to scratch, only to feel that it was hot below, touching Bai Shengsheng, who had no strength at all. Lan Guiren had no choice but to close his eyes and wait for the arrival of his new master.

Ye Zhao smiled lightly, kissed the corner of her mouth, and said softly, "You sleep for a while." Then he let her go.

Sitting up again, looking through the documents on the desk, and Lan Guiren secretly stretched out his hand from the yellow brocade quilt, and grabbed the small action of the brocade pajamas and pajamas on the side of the bed, naturally did not escape Ye Zhao's eyes.

"You're pretty busy right now?" Lan Guiren also sat up and looked at the stack of letters on the table.

When Ye Zhao glared at Lan Guiren again, Lan Guiren didn't change his words, obviously after wearing the thick brocade pajamas, he felt a sense of security, and his title to Ye Zhao changed from Long Live Lord to you.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You, bully the soft and fear the hard, take a vest and think you have something to rely on?" ”

Lan Guiren chuckled, in fact, it was really interesting to be with Ye Zhao, she sometimes liked to be teased by Ye Zhao, so that she felt like a woman.

Ye Zhao handed her a fold and said, "This is Citigroup inviting us to participate in the Philadelphia World Expo." ”

Two years later, in 1876, the centennial celebration of reading in the United States, and the World's Fair in Philadelphia to commemorate the centenary of reading in the United States, Americans have now extended invitations to countries around the world, including China, Benz, and Korea in the East.

China was also asked by the Americans to build a national pavilion in the park, and the current national pavilion is different from later generations, it is only a post house-style building used to house mission personnel.

At the same time, the President of the United States, that is, Ye Zhao's old acquaintance, Admiral Grant, made a sincere invitation to the Chinese Emperor to attend the opening ceremony of the World Expo.

Lan Guiren looked at the fold and asked, "There are still two years, why are you invited so early?" ”

Ye Zhao said: "You don't understand this, this kind of grand ceremony of exhibiting industrial science and technology is extremely troublesome to prepare." ”

Lan Guiren bowed his head lightly and said, "You are already preparing to send someone to the United States?" Are you going or not? ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand: "I won't go." "Ye Zhao likes to wander around, but it is usually a private visit to see the customs and customs of various places and also has its purpose surname, if it is just a courtesy surname visit, Ye Zhao is not interested, just said that this World Expo, the Chinese emperor's visit is just a gold paste for its opening ceremony, and no country in the world is important enough to need the Chinese emperor to visit to enhance friendship.

Grant himself knew this, and his real purpose was to ask the Chinese emperor to send a plenipotentiary envoy to attend on his behalf, which was enough to raise the level of attention of the opening ceremony of the World Expo by several notches.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Whether this plenipotentiary envoy is sent or not, let's talk about it when the time comes, I don't know what this world will look like in two years." ”

This is not false, this is an era of the explosion of technology and various concepts, and on the document on Ye Zhao's desk, there is also the news of the establishment of the American Professional Baseball League.

Last year, the Universal Postal Union was founded, and this year, or perhaps the Year of Sports, Adidas Sporting Goods was established in the United States, Blackburn Rovers Football Club was established in the United Kingdom, and the New York Art Student League was founded.

In China, in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, there are badminton competitions, which are not very demanding on the venue, and the emerging sport is deeply loved by the citizens.

At the same time, the basketball invented by the royal family spread to the people, in the capital, the son and brother loved to raise teams against each other to gamble, and in some aristocratic schools, basketball also became a fitness subject.

Ye Zhao put down the book in his hand and said, "Go to breakfast ...... and dinner?" ”

I don't know if he deliberately entertained himself, reminding people of the smugness he had been on himself all night last night, Lan Guiren's pretty face flushed, and he still nodded slightly.

…… Returning to the Forbidden Palace in the evening, Ye Zhao stayed in Rong'er's Kunning Palace, and couldn't help but feel a little ashamed when talking to Rong'er, after all, Rong'er didn't know about the matter with Lan Guiren, and she stayed at her sister's last night, and came to find her sister tonight, she was really a bit of a bastard, but she missed Rong'er very much tonight.

Rong'er is now more and more of a queen's temperament, she is not the little girl who ran behind Ye Zhao's ass in the past, but the crystal clear naughty little feet with a pair of pink embroidered slippers still allow Ye Zhao to find the shadow of the past.

It is an excerpt of Li Shuchang, the governor of Jiangsu Province, and is related to the idea of the elected house of the Jiangsu Provincial Assembly.

Ye Zhao glanced at it a few times and came to his senses, and said to Rong'er: "Call the matchmaker to talk." ”

Rong'er hesitated and said, "Let's go to Zhongcui Palace, it's too late to toss back and forth." ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly: "Then go to her, change your clothes, it's good to be gentle." ”

Rong'er ordered to go down, and the sedan chair arrived after a while, and the Zhongcui Palace where the matchmaker lived was in the northwest corner of the East Sixth Palace, and went out from the north gate of Kunning Palace and turned east, and walked all the way along the vermilion wall, and arrived in a short time.

Because Ye Zhao ordered to be silenced, the sedan chair came to the Zhongcui Palace's dormitory, and the matchmaker outside the door and window did not notice it.

The palace lamp in the courtyard is hung high, and the octagonal tips of the eaves in all directions are hazy and solemn.

In the east of the dormitory, the matchmaker was leaning on the soft couch and turning a few pages of silk paper, and when she saw Ye Zhao and Rong'er suddenly pulling the bead curtain in, the matchmaker was stunned, got up busily, and stuffed the silk paper into the soft pillow.

Ye Zhao walked over, and honestly and unceremoniously pulled out the silk paper, but it was the vernacular poem he wrote and sent to the concubines by his recent graffiti, which can be regarded as love poems, one for each concubine, and the story of meeting and knowing each other with them is secretly in line.

Having said that, Ye Zhao is also a little talented now, but he didn't plagiarize the love poems of later generations.

Seeing Ye Zhao holding the silk paper with a smile, the matchmaker's face was a little unbearable, and said, "You are proud now, right?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled, sat on the mahogany kang, and said, "I think you are about to become a thorn!" Roll your eyes at every turn. ”

Footsteps sounded outside, and a beautiful palace maid with deep eyes sent fragrant tea, Ye Zhao couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and sighed in his heart, there were gradually more maids from the Western Regions in the palace.

After the palace maid retreated, the matchmaker said, "Misaki is gone, why don't you ask her to serve you for a few days?" ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need. "The personal maids are too intimate, with their own mentality at this time, I am afraid that they will soon become a bedchamber, and after a long time on the throne, these palace maids seem to have become the fruits picked by Ren Jun, as if it is normal to be happy with them overnight, without any sense of moral restraint. So, it's better to restrain yourself more.

Rong'er said: "Misaki should be in the country now, right?" ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly. Misaki went to visit relatives, although she was abducted by traffickers at a very young age, and resold twice, but Ye Zhao found the traffickers of the year by peeling off the cocoon, and then checked layer by layer, she still found her relatives, and sent someone to accompany her back to visit relatives, Misaki's gratitude can be imagined.

Ye Zhao took Li Shuchang's fold at this time and said, "I'll write something, and you can talk to Rong'er for a while." "Cross-legged on the kang.

The matchmaker said: "It's strange to say that you, every time you like to ask us to chat and write articles by yourself, aren't you afraid of noisy?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled: "You don't understand this, do you?" You and Rong'er are by my side, my heart is at ease, writing things and thinking about things is more organized, if I am in the imperial study, I always feel lonely, boring tight, my head seems to be rusty, and there is always no good idea. Ye Zhao is exaggerating, but it is true.

The matchmaker and Rong'er knew that Ye Zhao was not duplicitous, and the two of them looked at each other, and their hearts were a little sweet, perhaps it was precisely because of such a husband that the relationship between the two of them was extremely close, and there were not so many thoughts of competing for favors.

The matchmaker and Rong'er were chatting on the side, and Ye Zhao looked at the two of them, and his heart calmed down unconsciously.

In the election of members of Jiangsu Province, Ye Zhao plans to give all citizens over the age of 18 the right to vote, and allocate one or two seats to each county according to its population and economic status.

Six months to one year before the election is a publicity period for the candidates who are running for the council, so that they have enough time to canvass for votes in the county towns and villages.

Of course, although the old social order in Jiangsu Province has been greatly destroyed, the clan will inevitably play an important role in the election of parliamentarians, and the candidates do not have a certain economic strength or find economic supporters, and there is no hope of winning the election.

The election of councillors only refers to the election of members of the provincial council, as for the city council and the county council, the same is the same, but the threshold for participating in the election is much lower, such as the county council, the village and town are given seats according to the proportion of the population, and the county council is now basically only a public opinion body.

Ye Zhao can even predict that this election in Jiangsu Province will be quite "Chinese characteristics", and it will be extremely chaotic, and many situations that he can't consider may appear, but there must always be a beginning.

What is more clear is that the current provincial council, including the State Council, is in the stage of putting on a show, and at most it plays a weak role in supervising the political axe, which makes the election of members of Jiangsu Province no matter how chaotic it is, and it will not bury the consequences of disaster.

It is just a matter of whether this chaotic election will have a strong negative effect on the parliamentary system and completely die under the strong criticism of conservatives.

This is going to test Li Shuchang and even himself, so we must make sufficient preparations in advance, and we can even postpone it until a year or two later, and we can correct possible deviations through various feedback information in advance.

While thinking, while writing slowly, Ye Zhao turned around, and went to the soft couch without opinion, the matchmaker and Rong'er, the two beautiful beauties of the country, whispered affectionately, both of them are their favorite wives, no distinction between each other, but I don't know how many people are envious, looking down, a pair of pink high-heeled slippers and a pair of embroidered slippers with green silk surface, all revealing soft snow-white ankles, and the same noble and crystalline little feet, each with its own attractiveness, Ye Zhao's heart beat a few times, and he hurriedly turned his gaze away, but his heart was full of satisfaction, Think about your lovely wives, how many people can enjoy such a blessing in the world?

…… Edo is now the capital of the country, a large city with a population of more than one million, the commercial street is bustling with people, flanked by two-story shops in the style of the Yue style, the pedestrians on the street wear different costumes, the old-fashioned ones mostly wear kimonos, the uniforms and Tang costumes are worn by students and young people who have been influenced by the new culture, and there are many modern girls wearing Chinese-style cheongsam.

In the sound of "dang dang dang", the tram staggered and drove away, and pedestrians on the street hurriedly hid to the side.

The Chinese tram line runs from the passenger terminal to Beicheng through the most prosperous commercial streets, including Paramount and New World, where nightclubs and department stores imitating Chinese signatures such as Paramount and New World are on its line.

Sitting in the train, Han Qi closed her eyes slightly, but the every move of all the passengers on her side could hardly escape her eyes, she was a first-class internal guard, and came to Edo to help Misaki pick up her parents and go to Nagasaki to reunite with her.

Misaki was also going to come to Edo, but considering that it would be very troublesome if something went wrong in Edo, the influence of the empire on the capital of his country naturally could not be said to be the same as the control of Nagasaki, so after Han Qi asked the guard office, he asked Misaki to stay in Nagasaki.

Edo's trams are divided into white and red cars, the white cars are clean and comfortable, the passengers are mostly Chinese and decent people themselves, and the laborers living at the bottom are not allowed to get on the white plates, but can only squeeze the dirty and smelly red plates.

Han Qi was in a white-plate car, accompanied by four male guards and an interpreter, all of whom came to Yueben for the first time, and it was destined that the trip would not be smooth sailing, and even made Sino-Chinese relations come to a turning point.
