The house with blue walls and blue tiles, two stone lions squatting majestically at the door, standing under the steps of the black lacquer gate, the majesty of the Yangliu and Qingshi family seems to be rushing to the face.

At this time, there was a different scene in the courtyard of the Shi family's house, in the study room of the east courtyard, the mahogany marble rectangular square sat two people facing each other, and facing the west was an old man with a calm bearing in the age of the sixtieth year, he was wearing a gray poplin yarn open air robe, and a dark silk horse coat was put on the outside, and the buttons were neatly buttoned, and the whole body was full of majesty.

The master on the other side of the coffee table looked a few years younger, and his clothes were simple, with green robes and cloth shoes, but his eyes were blazing, and his occasionally inadvertent gaze was as sharp as a knife, which made people dare not force their eyes.

The old man sitting in the east chamber is the owner of the Shi family's mansion, the first rich man in Jinxi, the word Xingde, the head of Tianjin, even if the Tianjin Mansion respects him as "Deweng".

Sitting opposite Shi Weng, is his younger brother Shi Xuexi, the word Mingyuan, the number Qinglu Sanren, is the first person in the Shogunate of Gui Liang in the Governor of Zhili and the Ministry of Soldiers, and spares no effort to give advice to Gui Liang, Gui Liang has a lot of help from him all the way, and he has proposed to protect him with a generous beauty, but Shi Xuexi insisted on not accepting it, which made Gui Liang feel more and relied on him more, calling him "Mr. Qinglu", and also called "the talent of Qinglu, and Kong Ming was not as good as it was in the past." ”

If you want to talk about these two people, they are really people who are trampled on the feet of the three mountains and five mountains, and the five lakes and seas are like a thoroughfare, and it is naturally an extremely tricky trouble for the two of them to sit in the study and discuss secretly, and it is Ye Zhao, the second ancestor, who stabbed and killed in Tianjin, regardless of 3721, and gave the Shi family a head with an iron rod.

"Give the silver!" Shi Qinglu closed his eyes slightly, and said slowly, word by word.

"This ......" De Weng was a little distressed, he was detained more than 30 people, 6,000 taels of silver, it is not a small amount, and he was soft, and the new house that had been planned in the sketch was also in the soup.

"Endure small evils and become great beauty. Brother Zheng, what about giving him some sweetness? Shi Qinglu's eyes flickered, revealing a slightly gloomy meaning.

De Weng sighed and nodded slowly: "Okay, just listen to you, Ming Yuan, are you sure that the person who came is Prince Zheng's elder brother, didn't you say that the children of the clan are not allowed to go out of Beijing?" ”

"Always a black sheep." Shi Qinglu sneered and gently picked up the teacup, not knowing what he was pondering.

De Weng frowned slightly, and said, "Then, can you think of a way to ask the Governor to deal with him?" The emperor is an understanding person, can he come nonsense? ”

Shi Qinglu shook his head slowly and said with a smile: "I have my own plan to treat him!" If he must have lost his favor in vain, why should he make things difficult for the Governor? ”

Deweng was relieved, and naturally knew that Qinglu was nine out of ten words, and this stunned person from Yanjing City was afraid that he would suffer in the future.

……

In the east hall of the Zhao family, Ye Zhao slowly tasted the tea and looked through the letterhead in his hand, while Rui Si stood aside, counting the silver tickets sent by the Shi family one by one.

Second Brother Zhao completely played the role of a subordinate, just went to the courtyard to pour hot tea for the masters, and hurriedly came to the side hall to serve Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao looked at the letter in his hand, and just sneered, before coming to Tianjin, he naturally had a good understanding of the Shi family, and his understanding of Shi Qinglu, who wrote this letter to him, was at least much deeper than Shi Qinglu's understanding of him.

Even if it's the second ancestor, you can't easily offend people, right?

Shi Qinglu's letter, at the beginning of which was called "Shizi", and then a long and sincere apology, and what did he say, "I was supposed to bear the guilt of Jing Petition, but the Shizi is in Beijing, his status is noble, and Xuexi does not dare to make a mistake" Yunyun, and then Shi Qinglu vaguely persuaded the "Shizi" to cultivate his surname, and his words were extremely beautiful, if he was not a real bastard, he could see that his bitter heart was actually for the sake of the "Shizi".

It's a pity that although Ye Zhao is not a bastard, he is a hundred times smarter than Mr. Qinglu imagined, looking at this letter Ye Zhao just sneered, and his feelings were sincere, can you really deceive ghosts? If you don't believe it, you can be calm about blackmailing your family with so much silver? If you really want to slap me, then why did you only send me six thousand taels of silver? You have been famous for a long time, but you don't know, how many people want to befriend me, the second ancestor? What kind of means have you not seen? But there has never been a stammering person who only talks about it, whether this stammering person is true or not, your brother is afraid that he is far less than I understand.

Throwing the letter aside, Ye Zhao glanced at Second Brother Zhao, who was smirking at him, and turned to Rui Si and said, "Si'er, count one thousand taels of silver to Second Brother Zhao, and you can divide the rest with the big guy, a hard trip." ”

Second Brother Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "Gongzi Xie, Gongzi Xie rewards." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "It's not for you, you, take it to the old lady, and ask the old lady to be the master." ”

"Yes, yes!" Second Brother Zhao thought about it, and kowtowed twice on the blue brick floor, and secretly bared his teeth, which was a pain.

"Childe, you, are you from the Prince's Mansion?" When Second Brother Zhao went in and out to serve these big men, he faintly heard the Shi family's arrested nursing home whispering, so he asked such a question.

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded.

"Ah, then you, ...... do you know" Second Brother Zhao naturally wanted to ask Ye Zhao if he knew his sister-in-law, but Ye Zhao waved his hand and said: "You will naturally know in the future!" Ye Zhao didn't want to make up nonsense with him, as for his correspondence with Aunt Zhao in the future, Aunt Zhao could say whatever she wanted.

"Yes, yes." Second Brother Zhao agreed repeatedly.

Rui Si'er secretly said to Ye Zhao's side at this time: "Master, this time to reward this money, the slave doesn't dare to ask for it." ”

Ye Zhao glared at him with a smile: "If you take it, take it, this year, I'm afraid that everyone will work hard, so you should take care of the hard work of the big guy in advance!" ”

"Yes, yes, it is a great blessing for the minions to have the compassion of their masters."

Ye Zhao was already numb to Ruisi's sycophancy, and just smiled slightly, not taking it seriously.

……

Jiachun Garden is a Fujin dormitory, the warm pavilion is full of light, splendid and luxurious.

The prince and Fujin both looked at Rong'er with a smile, and couldn't be more satisfied with Rong'er's dignified and virtuous prince Fujin, seeing Rong'er Fujin, he couldn't help but think of his young self, not to mention the kindness in his eyes, if you want to talk about the prince's mansion, only Ye Zhao can enjoy this treatment, and now there is one more Rong'er.

It's just that Fujin would never have thought that Rong'er, who is both virtuous and talented, is being taken away from the original track by Ye Zhao step by step, and he doesn't know that Ai'er's only evil idea for the bride is to turn her into a playful child.

"The day after tomorrow, you're going to live in the right month, right?" Fu Jin asked with a loving smile.

"Yes, Eniang." Rong'er replied in a childish voice, and the little guy sat up straight with his waist, afraid that he would not be happy with Prince Fujin.

Ye Zhao and Rong'er have been married for almost a month, but according to Manchurian convention, Rong'er wants to go back to her parents' house to live in the opposite month.

The prince seemed to have something on his mind, and he had been absent-minded, Ye Zhao looked at it slightly strange, and asked: "Ama was full of worries when he came back from the palace yesterday, but what problems did he encounter?" ”

The prince smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that I can't hide anything from you, no matter what, sooner or later you will also know that yesterday Gui Liang recommended you in front of the emperor to go to Guangzhou to do the affairs of the emperor." ”

Ye Zhao was stunned, Gui Liang, why did this governor of Zhili suddenly think of me?

Ye Zhao knew that Britain and France could not enter the city of Guangzhou because of the delay of merchants, and after asking Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, to no avail, he had already gone to Shanghai to negotiate with the governor of Liangjiang, and he heard that he was going to go straight to Beijing with a huge ship, and the imperial court was also ready to be sent by Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili.

The foreigner gunboat thought that it would anchor in Zhigu (Tianjin), and Gui Liang was afraid that he would soon go to Tianjin to wait for it.

Ye Zhao suddenly suddenly, a few days ago, he was in Tianjin, and Shi Qinglu was also there, I'm afraid it's also for this matter, right?

The prince sighed again and said: "The emperor seems to be quite moved, and yesterday he asked me about it, and was going to appoint you with an errand of five ministers of trade and commerce. ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly.

At present, the Qing Dynasty does not have a yamen dedicated to foreign affairs, and the Governor of Liangguang and the Minister of Commerce of Wukou actually handles foreign affairs with other countries, that is to say, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Great Qing Dynasty is now in Guangzhou, and it is Ye Mingchen, the Governor of Liangguang, who is also the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a strange bureaucrat who is known for ignoring Western countries.

In fact, when the Anglo-French coalition army entered Guangdong in the previous life, he asked Ye Mingchen to come forward to negotiate within ten days, Ye Mingchen also ignored it, but did not organize the army to resist, and later the British and French troops came to the city of Guangzhou, and asked Ye Mingchen to surrender within 48 hours, Ye Mingchen did not react, neither resisted, nor negotiated peace, and did not escape. It was not until the Anglo-French army broke through the city of Guangzhou that he was captured.

It was he who was ridiculed as the "Six No-Governors": "No fighting, no peace, no defending, no death, no surrender, no leaving." The ambition of ministers and ministers is not available in ancient times, and it is rare today. ”

Ye Zhaoxin said that if he worked with such a strange official and ran errands under him, it would be extremely fresh.

Thinking about it, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Ye Zhao's mind, Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, recommended me? Needless to say, it must have been Shi Qinglu's idea.

What a vicious move, Shi Qinglu's eyes are also very accurate, now the Yiwu is the most difficult to do, after the Sino-British War, almost all the officials who dealt with foreigners and signed the charter were finally dismissed. It's just that many officials have been turned over old accounts after many years, and some have been punished, but the charges have nothing to do with Yiwu, in fact, the root cause is that Xianfeng does not like the charter they signed, but that is when Daoguang Ye was in time, and he can't blatantly turn over the old accounts, so Xianfeng is looking for other reasons to rectify these ministers. The history books of later generations are clearly recorded, which is clear to people at a glance, but in today's world, they can see so thoroughly and know that there is no return to doing the work, this Shi Qinglu has to say that his eyes are like a torch!

However, Ye Zhao was a little funny, Shi Qinglu felt that he had dug a grave for himself, but he didn't know that he was worrying about how to leave Jingshi these days, but his poisonous plan was a great favor for himself, and he should really give a heavy gift to thank him.

Ye Zhao was even more helpless and innocent, why is his luck always so good?

If Shi Qinglu knew what Ye Zhao was thinking now, he didn't know if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
