Sava? This passage Ye Zhao almost forgot her, and felt a little embarrassed in his heart, feeling sorry for this child, throwing her in the barracks, plus Aunt Li, who had never looked at her differently, thought that she had suffered a lot, and was going to explore her family from various channels, but after repeated battles, this matter was put aside.

"Go see her." Ye Zhao pursed his mouth.

Zhao Sanbao hurriedly took two steps, stepped forward and knocked on the door, and shouted loudly in a rough voice: "Old Li Tou!" Open the door! Come out and greet the big handsome! Zhao Sanbao made the black wooden door sound, and the dust fell with a pop, and under his huge fist as thick and powerful as a bowl, the wooden door was thin and vulnerable, and it seemed that it would collapse at any time.

Ye Zhao shook his head helplessly, but Zhao Sanbao was such a rude soldier, if he wanted to become Sven, he would not be Zhao Sanbao.

Soon there was a chaotic sound of footsteps in the courtyard, the door opened, and an old man with a trembling beard and white hair led a bunch of sons and daughters, kneeling in the front yard, Ye Zhao hurriedly walked over to support the old man, and said warmly: "The old man doesn't have to be formal, there is a lot of disturbance, forgive me." ”

Although Lao Li Tou is a blue satin robe, he can see that it is not a rich and noble family, and he kowtows again and again in fear: "Little Lao'er doesn't dare, don't dare, the handsome man is coming, the little old man is lucky for three lives, and he is lucky for three lives." The family members behind him knelt on the ground, and none of them dared to raise their heads.

Ye Zhao didn't want to drag Lao Li's head up, so he had to give up, so he asked, "Where is Mrs. Rakshasa?" "I want to know that the name of Sava is unknown to anyone.

"The little one asked his daughter-in-law Xizi to lead the handsome man." Lao Li Tou got up slowly, his face full of panic, "Poor and remote, I really wronged my wife, and I am ashamed of the handsome." ”

At this time, Ye Zhao saw Sister-in-law Li who ran over from the backyard in a hurry, and said with a smile: "No need! ”

Sister-in-law Li and Sava live in the east across the courtyard, there are brave guards in front of the moon cave door, the main room in the courtyard is laid out in a dignified manner, a few green bamboos are verdant, but also elegant.

Sava was sitting in the hall in a daze looking at the food on the table of the Eight Immortals in front of her, when she heard the sound of footsteps, she turned her head in Xing Xing, and saw Ye Zhao, her blue eyes lit up suddenly, and she almost stood up and ran out like a fly, screaming in her mouth, and tears couldn't help but flow all over her face.

Ye Zhao was surprised and looked at Sister-in-law Li: "What's wrong?" Did anyone bully her? ”

Sava took Ye Zhao's hand, pulled Ye Zhao all the way into the hall, pointed to the food on the table of the Eight Immortals, and grunted at Ye Zhao for a while, the table was full of white rice, in a small wooden basin, there were large slices of cabbage, and there were a few pieces of fat on the soup.

Sava gestured with her hands all over her body, and her face made an unbearable strange look, "Take a bath, take a bath." "It's more standard Chinese.

Ye Zhao gradually understood, didn't he, all the way south, he didn't often tinker with some good things, how could this Shawa's Western stomach be used to the meals prepared by Sister-in-law Li? When I arrived at Lotus Village, it was estimated that it was calculated, there were wounded people, and a batch of pork was transported every three or five days, and I thought that Sister-in-law Li and Sava could also get it, but Sister-in-law Li's approach, even if she saw it, she had no appetite, let alone the European appetite that was used to eating meat whole.

Take a bath, I'm afraid that Shawa won't be able to take a good bath on the way, at most she will wipe her body, but now that she has arrived in Lotus Village, there is nowhere to take a bath?

Sister-in-law Li was afraid that the handsome man would be surprised, so she had already explained beside her: "Grandpa, it's not a mean lady who is a slave, the young lady is not used to using a wooden basin, and the slave is dull, so I really can't think of a way." ”

"What tub?" Ye Zhao's voice fell, and Sava had already taken his hand and pulled Ye Zhao to the wing, where there were all kinds of farm tools, and there was a smell of earth, and Sava pointed to a wooden plate in the corner of the wall and began to complain.

Ye Zhao suddenly realized that not everyone in this world can enjoy a barrel bath, crops, it is normal not to take a bath for half a year in winter, even if you love cleanliness, you can only use a wooden plate with hot water, sit in it and take a bath, look at this small wooden basin, where can you sit down?

It is no wonder that Sava learned the word "bath" in a daze, and that she was to be taught by Priest Made.

However, Sava made her hands take a bath, and swam along the curves of the cheongsam that was bursting with her devilish body, and the seductive gesture made the nose bleed.

"Alright, alright!" Ye Zhao helplessly grabbed the hand that was still touching Shawa's body, turned around and asked Sister-in-law Li, "You can't find a wooden barrel in the village, right?" ”

Sister-in-law Li shook her head blankly.

Ye Zhaoxin said that he could only take Shawa to take a bath in Huacheng? With a flash of inspiration in his head, he had an idea, beckoned Thirteen, who was curiously looking Shawa up and down, to come over, and whispered a few words in Thirteen's ear, although Thirteen had a confused face, he still took the order.

…… The stream is clear and winding westward, and the riverbed is covered with beautiful pebbles of all sizes, and a few crucian carp swim by shaking their heads and looking extremely leisurely.

She shouted with joy and jumped into the stream, and then she took up her trousers and went into the water, and inserted six bamboo poles, and sewed a thick green cloth between them, so that she enclosed Sava between the curtains.

Ye Zhao sat on the grass next to the stream and lit a cigar, which Rui Si sent to Huacheng not long ago.

A hundred paces away, several guards stood far away and didn't look this way.

"Poof." But Thirteen saw that there were fish in the water, so he sharpened the extra bamboo pole, shot like electricity, and soon there were two live river fish on the bamboo pole.

Ye Zhaoxin said that after the refraction of light, there is such an accurate head, which shows that he is well-trained, and he has caught fish in the stream before.

"Thirteen, catch a few more!" Ye Zhao was far away and shouted with a smile.

Thirteen listened to the big marshal say this, and became even more energetic, put the bamboo pole aside, reached into the stream to touch the fish, and every time he caught one, he put it on the bamboo pole.

The frightened fish fled in all directions, and the speed at which Thirteen caught the fish gradually slowed down.

"Thirteen, let's get some firewood to light the fire." Ye Zhao commanded again.

The red disc gradually fell into the western mountain, and it was evening when I saw it.

Grilling the fish, Ye Zhao was a little impatient, and shouted: "Sava! Have you washed it? "It's been nearly an hour, and it's time to finish brushing it over and over again, right?

Sava grunted in response, Ye Zhao didn't understand, but said to Thirteen: "Throw the cloth bag to her." The cloth bag next to Ye Zhao's feet was brought by Shawa, except for the soda (soap), I think it was the clothes she wanted to change.

Thirteen didn't really use "throwing", and when she handed the cloth bag through the gap in the curtain, she caused Sava to grunt again, and the tone was complaining, obviously not washed comfortably.

And a few minutes later, Sava opened the curtain, which was eye-catching, with bright eyes and bright teeth, blonde hair and high nose, Sava wore a white gauze skirt, wrapped tightly, white and deep cleavage, and the surname was revealed, and the snow-skinned blue eyes were combed with the oriental phoenix bun and were full of style, and there was a kind of nobility that did not dare to blaspheme from a distance.

The skirt was wet by the stream, but Shawa seemed to be unfinished flowing ashore, and the snow feet pulled up the light blue embroidered slippers on the shore, Shawa's feet were full of bones, and she would feel explosive when she wore high heels, but at this moment, she was pulling the ancient embroidered slippers invented by Ye Zhao, the beauty of the collision between China and the West, and there was a sultry taste.

"Hee-hee." Seeing that Ye Zhao was grilling fish, Sava smirked at Ye Zhao, and even ran to Ye Zhao with a fragrant breeze to sit down, staring at the grilled fish for a while, the fish was fragrant, and Shawa's saliva was about to flow out, and suddenly he picked up one of Ye Zhao's arms, and said something in a whisper, it should be that Ye Zhao should take her wherever he goes in the future, and he is not allowed to leave her again.

Ye Zhao was helpless for a while, he plundered her, how could he unconsciously become a good person in her eyes?

"Give!" Ye Zhao handed her the grilled fish forked with a wooden stick, and Sava immediately took it and bit it down like a wolf.

Although there is no salt, it has a delicious taste.

"Thirteen, this is for you."

Thirteen was standing a few steps away, and was stunned when he heard Da Shuai's words, and when he turned around, he saw that Da Shuai was holding a grilled fish and handed it to him, he was startled, and hurriedly walked a few steps and knelt down on one knee and took the grilled fish in his hand with both hands, "Xie Dashuai!" ”

Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing: "It's not a military order, don't be so restrained." ”

Having said that, Thirteen still respectfully retreated away, and then stood up straight and took a bite of the grilled fish lightly.

The sky gradually darkened, and the bright moon like a jade plate unveiled its veil, clear as water.

After eating five or six grilled fish in a row, Sava excitedly croaked Ye Zhao when she ate the fish, thinking that she knew that the fish was tender and tender, but now she was quiet, staring blankly at the bright moon in the sky, and her blue eyes were gradually soaked with tears.

Ye Zhao knew that she must be homesick, in fact, she was just sixteen years old, only three years older than Rong'er, although she felt obviously different from Rong'er, one was a hot surname beauty, and the other was a little girl carved in pink. But in the final analysis, Sava is still young, but I am afraid that she has not yet been sixteen years old, and she has been living in a foreign country for a long time, even if she has no attachment, how can she not miss her hometown?

It seems that when Guangzhou is surveyed, it is necessary to think about what to do with her.

Standing up, Ye Zhao said, "Let's go!" ”

Sava got up in a panic and grabbed Ye Zhao's hand, "Take ...... Get on me. "But it's jerky and hard Chinese.

Ye Zhao was stunned, and then knew that he must have learned from Priest Made, so he said it when he was about to see him.

"Take me", Sava's charming blue eyes were full of pleading.

Ye Zhao finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take you to Flower City!" ”

Shawa's face immediately jumped, but she still held Ye Zhao's hand tightly and refused to relax, as if she was afraid that Ye Zhao would leave her alone.

Ye Zhao had no choice, so he had to take her hand and walk to the mount, the smooth and smooth little hands made Ye Zhao feel a little strange in his heart.

…… Sava justifiably lived in Huacheng Dashuai, and after seven or eight days, and Su Shun arrived in Huacheng, a few days earlier received six hundred miles of urgency to hear that the sixth uncle came to negotiate peace, Ye Zhao was a little helpless, the sixth uncle is a famous hardliner, and it is not beautiful for him to negotiate peace.

It seems that the sixth prince is determined not to wade into this troubled water, and he thinks too, now Guangdong is his own world, and the ministers who sent him close to him to talk about good and bad things are only afraid that the credit is all his own, and the fault is all others, but he is afraid that he is more worried about what bureau he has set up to pretend to him.

When Su Shun arrived in Huacheng, it was dusk, and Ye Zhao picked him up and went back, saying that he wanted his uncle and nephew to have a drink.

The garden behind the handsome line is not big, but the flower garden is full of beauty, and the fine grass under the feet is like a cloud, which is refreshing.

In the pavilion, a barbecue stove built by Ye Zhao to a blacksmith was set up, on the stone table, a plate full of skewered meat, shrimp and vegetables, and a small wooden barrel of beer was held in the well with cold water. It's a pity that there is no ice, if it is in the capital, there is an ice cellar in the palace.

In this era, the life that only the next generation will enjoy will be able to enjoy Ye Zhao with some effort, of course, the life that can be enjoyed in this life, such as rare dishes, etc., will not be tasted even by the richest man in the world in the future.

And when Su Shun saw the blonde and blue-eyed Shawa, his face became strange, but Shawa was excited, chattering endlessly, following the Oriental man, life is not ordinary, this period of time is as comfortable as it is. When Sava saw Su Shun, she showed a charming smile and stretched out her little hand wrapped in white gauze gloves, the uncle of that powerful man, naturally want to be kind to him and give him a big face, otherwise if someone else, want to kiss the hand? There are no doors.

Sava felt that she was very polite, and her face was almost green, especially when Sava was wearing a white gauze skirt, with her chest exposed, and her pink skin that deceived the frost and snow was so bright that it hurt people's eyes.

With a snort, Su Shun sat on the stone bench, if it weren't for the fact that his nephew was not what he used to be, if he was replaced by a second person, he would have had a seizure a long time ago.

Ye Zhao smiled and sat opposite Su Shun, if he didn't have the capital to challenge any secular concepts before, but now, it is obviously different. Especially the people close to you, you can completely impact their thinking, even if you don't agree with yourself, it doesn't matter.

"Sixth uncle, Shawa is a woman, don't be too demanding about this dress, don't be too demanding about dressing up Sixth Uncle, you will have to deal with foreigners more in the future, and you must always get used to it."

Su Shun frowned slightly, and said earnestly: "Jingxiang, it's not easy for you to carry this piece of Guangdong, but you can be loyal to your ears, good medicine is bitter, don't get carried away!" After speaking, Su Shun felt that the words were a little heavy, and said: "Young man, it is inevitable that you like strange things, but when it is spread to Beijing, what will others think?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Even if you get carried away, it's in front of the sixth uncle, isn't it?" If the sixth prince is here, he wants to see Shawa, but I won't show him yet! ”

Su Shun couldn't help but smile, and his face softened, "You, you're not dizzy yet." "The surprise that this nephew brought to Su Shun is too great, it can really be said that it is a battle final, and his reputation moves the world. If anyone in the capital proposes to withdraw his nephew's mission now, unless he is crazy, even if he is the sixth prince, he has to give the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces to ask for credit for his nephew.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Sixth Uncle, may I tell you a few words from my heart?" ”

Su Shun stared at Ye Zhao and said, "You speak!" I can't help but have some expectations in my heart, indeed, this nephew seems to be a hanger, who knows, but he has a splendid chest, but he doesn't say anything about himself in his heart, even his father and mother He has never mentioned it. No one can see what he's thinking, and they can't see him themselves. Now I am willing to make friends with myself, but it is not easy.

Ye Zhao pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Sixth uncle, Yangyi is strong and domineering, you say something from your heart, if Britain and France come to attack with all their might, is our Daqing an opponent?" ”

Su Shun said in a deep voice: "But you can't let others bully!" ”

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and said: "Sixth Uncle is right, then Sixth Uncle, tell me again, is our Daqing really the Heavenly Empire in the eyes of Yangyi?"

Su Shun was silent, only afraid of all roads and foreign countries, and looked down on the Qing Kingdom from the bottom of his heart.

Ye Zhao said again: "Sixth Uncle is afraid that he doesn't know yet, the British and French people really regard us as an inferior nation. ”

"What?!" Su Shun's eyes widened violently, slapped the stone table, and said in a deep voice: "It's really too deceitful!" ”

No one paid attention, she was holding a few skewers of shrimp barbecue, and Sava who was entertaining herself was startled, looked at Su Shun, and said in her heart that this old man was rude, and dared to slap the table in front of a powerful man, hum, he would have to suffer in a while.

Sister-in-law Li's genuine roaster turned the meat skewers on the stove, and glanced at Shawa from time to time, looking at how Shawa was unpleasant, but the handsome man also tied the two together, which made Aunt Li helpless.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Second uncle doesn't have to be angry, Jing Xiang thinks that when dealing with Yangyi, as long as you have a normal heart, the people of the country are equal, and China and foreign countries are equal, so that you can guard against arrogance and rashness, that is, you don't have to be arrogant, and you can't be self-condescending." If a heart is correct, Chinese and foreign affairs can be seen clearly and transparently. ”

Su Shun nodded silently.

Ye Zhao said again: "Even if the pass is opened, what if you do business with Yangyi? In today's world, exchanges between countries are really common, foreigners can come to our country to do business, and Chinese people can also go to Britain and France. If you have always pinned your hopes on being isolated from the world, Uncle Six, the skills of the Western countries are thousands of miles, I am afraid that in a few years, the steamer will be able to reach my Qing Dynasty in three or two months, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers will come overnight, and how will I deal with myself in the Qing Dynasty at that time? "It can't be said too deeply, for example, it is still too late to develop national industry, etc., it is useless to come; Second, he didn't plan to launch a reform movement for the Great Qing Kingdom at all, otherwise wouldn't he have been able to blow the wind in the prince's ears a long time ago?

If you say that you didn't have a clear goal before, now you have, taking advantage of the world of Guangdong, slowly developing, waiting for opportunities to change.

Today's remarks are not to persuade the sixth uncle to go to the imperial court to agitate for reform, but to set the tone for the future negotiations, hoping to develop in the direction he expects.

Su Shun frowned slightly, but did not squeak.

Ye Zhao also knew that this sixth uncle was a representative of the closed country, and it was extremely difficult to persuade him to change his concept, so he could only come little by little.

Standing up immediately, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Okay, sixth uncle, let's talk while eating." He turned his head and asked, "Sister-in-law Li, it's almost, right?" ”

Sava seemed to have been observing the movement here, and when she saw Ye Zhao's gesture, she quickly put a few skewers of grilled shrimp in front of Ye Zhao, and waited for Ye Zhao to praise her. Her surname is straightforward, and she doesn't like Su Shun, so she won't give her grilled shrimp to Su Shun. Seeing that Ye Zhao was about to hand the shrimp skewers to Su Shun, she took Ye Zhao's hand, pouted and purred, and did not allow Ye Zhao to give him the grilled shrimp.

Su Shun smiled helplessly, the Yi woman is really a Yi woman, she doesn't understand Chinese etiquette, and she is smiling and generous.

Ye Zhao also smiled and said to Su Shun: "Sixth uncle, do you see it, dare to love and hate, there is something cute about it, right?" ”

Su Shun saw that Ye Zhao seemed to "spoil" her very much, so he could only smile and nod. Although he is his nephew, Su Shun knows that he is much lighter than him now, and if he puts on an uncle's face from time to time, it will be boring. I'm afraid that my nephew will gradually get separated from me.

Sister-in-law Li divided the grilled meat skewers into the plate in front of the grandfather and the lord of the Qincha, but saw that Sava rushed to pour beer for the grandfather, and was so angry that she was so angry that she had white eyes and crossed Shawa, and said in her heart that this foreign fox was charming, and she knew that she would please the master and make the master happy.

"Hey, this wine is weird." Taking a sip of beer, Su Shun stared at the orange liquid in the glass suspiciously, the taste was slightly bitter, but the wine was too weak.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Sixth uncle, this is called beer, you have to drink it like this to enjoy it!" As he spoke, he picked up the glass and dried it in one gulp.

Su Shun was surprised, and then he knew why he used a glass cup to serve wine.

"Shawa, make an exception today, you can make a few bites, come, toast my sixth uncle." Ye Zhao gestured. Sava naturally didn't understand what Ye Zhao said, but she could see that she was asking her to drink, and she was overjoyed, so she took a glass and poured a full glass, and then ran to Ye Zhao to sit down, Mei Zizi took a sip, and then turned her head to Ye Zhao, obviously very happy.

Su Shun was in trouble, if the Yi woman toasted herself, whether she drank it or not, saw that Sava didn't understand, so she was relieved.

Then he smiled bitterly in his heart, today it is not a Hongmen banquet, but it is more uncomfortable than the Hongmen banquet, and his nephew will really embarrass himself.

"Sixth uncle, normal heart, normal heart." Ye Zhao smiled.

Su Shun glanced at Ye Zhao, and finally sighed and said, "You, the sixth uncle really can't see through you, you are stronger than your Amma, and you are stronger than the sixth uncle." ”

"Uncle Six, but you want Jingxiang to find a crack in the ground to drill down?" Ye Zhao raised his glass and said, "Sixth Uncle, what do you think of this peace talk?" ”

Su Shun and Ye Zhao clinked glasses lightly, and they also dried up in one breath, indeed, they only felt a trace of cold thread rushing to the bottom of their abdomen, which was extremely comfortable.

"Ask for a sky-high price, pay it back on the spot." Su Shun was concise and to the point, stared at Ye Zhao and asked, "Are you sure of conquering Guangzhou?" ”

Ye Zhao pondered for a moment and said: "With the current trend of the enemy eliminating my growth, it is easy to drive the British and the French to the sea, but it is even more difficult to reject the sea frontier!" He shook his head again: "What's more, the British, French and Yi people only dispatched thousands of soldiers this time, and on the other side of the ocean, England and France, how many troops can be used for expeditionary expeditions?" "It is difficult to mobilize more than 100,000 soldiers to go on an expedition against China, and a war, combined with political and economic factors, always have to calculate the cost of the war, the cost is too high, and the gains will outweigh the losses.

However, Ye Zhao naturally had to exaggerate, lest the sixth uncle's spirit be too high, and he would fight with all his might.

Su Shun's face was solemn, nodded slightly, thought for a while, and said: "What the military planes mean, reach a peace agreement as soon as possible, and transfer your Cantonese troops to the north to suppress bandits." ”

Last month, the bandits captured the camp in Jiangnan, the temple was shaken, and a truce with Britain and France as soon as possible so that Ye Zhao could free up his hands to exterminate the bandits was the first priority.

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "Sixth uncle, the military planes are short-sighted, we can't negotiate for the sake of peace talks, otherwise, our uncle and nephew will be infamous in the history books!" What's more, the thieves on the West Road are eyeing each other, how can the Cantonese soldiers go north with all their might? ”

pondering, Ye Zhao said slowly: "It is not difficult to solve the crisis of the two rivers, as long as Jingxiang sends all the men and horses into Jiangxi and feints to attack Ganzhou, it will make the bandits dare not look north!" ”

Feeling the sudden burst of domineering in his nephew, Su Shun's heart sank, and he nodded slightly: "There are a few things that you understand about the bandits, you can just watch and do it, and you can't ask a bunch of military planes to mess up the strategy." ”

After a sigh, Ye Zhao said: "The top priority is to negotiate peace with Britain and France, but to make more plans." ”

Su Shun slowly bowed his head.

(To be continued)
