In May 1856, Ye Zhao was appointed as the Duke of Guangzhou, and was promoted to the general of Guangzhou, and the prime minister of Guangdong military and political affairs.

Since the Xianfeng Dynasty, Ye Zhaonai was the first courtier who was not a prince of the Jin Kingdom, not to mention that he was awarded such a prominent position as the general of Guangzhou at the age of his early twenties.

And with generals leading the army to civilians, it is clear that Guangdong has been regarded as the front line of the battlefield, and it is regarded as a border stopper.

At the age of twenty-two, he became a feudal official, but Ye Zhao never thought that in his previous life, this was the supreme authority of the secretary of the provincial party committee and governor and the commander of the military region and the political commissar, at the age of twenty-two? Just graduated from college, right?

But come to think of it, even the six kings are watching from the sidelines, not thinking that they can sit firmly in this position, how can they have the bottom in their hearts? How to crack a game in Guangzhou? It's a problem.

Hot water sprayed on his back, extremely comfortable, Ye Zhao closed his eyes, enjoying the rare comfort in Xia Yue, but his mind was thinking about going to Guangdong, the day after tomorrow, he was about to set off.

This is the east wing of the courtyard of the young phoenix building, the weeping willows and cicadas in the courtyard are singing one after another, and several eunuchs and maids are running around under a few trees with fishing nets, sweating one by one. In fact, Ye Zhao had already let go, and the young phoenix building knew that it was called, and people were not allowed to call it in the summer? But the eunuchs and girls are chattering, and they still have to be caught every day.

Although Ye Zhao had been living in the barracks some time ago, he still found a blacksmith and carpenter craftsman in the capital and smashed out the shower, but it could only be used in summer, and the roof of the wing house was just a sealed iron bucket, which was painted black, but the water inside was cold soon after, and the water was too hot at noon, so he could only take a shower at dusk. If you don't like the feeling of showering, it's actually useless, Rong'er hasn't used it once, and there is a fragrant barrel bath, isn't it the boo of some high-end baths in later generations? I am indeed in the midst of blessings and do not know the blessings.

Thinking of Rong'er, Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh again, these days sleeping in the Chian Feng Building are really a bit of a sin, although Rong'er is late, but after all, she is thirteen years old, every time her elastic little body curls up in her arms like a kitten, and even lazily sleeps with herself, it is really a torment for herself.

I'm really afraid that one day I won't be able to hold on to it and become a beast, after all, in the future generations, Rong'er is an out-and-out young, even if she is willing, she will be punished by force.

has lived in this world for 20 years, and has gradually accepted that men have wives and concubines, but Rong'er is too young to be young, and although she loves her, she is more of a relative.

The water flow gradually decreased, Ye Zhao shook his head, but this still needs to be improved, turned around and closed the valve, and shouted: "There is no one outside, right?" ”

"The slave is here." The voice of a timid little maid outside.

Ye Zhao was a little helpless, how many times have I said this, I will wipe it after taking a bath, but every time there will always be a maid waiting outside, twice I forgot to shout, but it was extremely embarrassing, once it was okay, I was surrounded by a bath towel, but once, I ran out naked, but I don't know if I was seen by the maid who combed her double bun.

"Get out, I'll do it myself!" Ye Zhao commanded.

"Yes", and then there were small footsteps, very light, all well-trained, and it was no wonder that they could stand outside for a long time without being noticed.

…… In the carriage, Ye Zhao looked at Rong'er with a smile, Rong'er had a sad face, and pulled the placket of the splendid horse coat from time to time, her men's clothes were very beautiful, the little guy was like a pearl and jade, handsome and refined, wearing a splendid cloud gown, pedaling on a small official boot, super cute dress.

Ye Zhao is leading Rong'er to participate in the "Three Family Gathering", seeing that he is about to leave Beijing, he made an appointment with Da Chun and Debin to get together in Fuhe Building, and Da Chun is also okay, for Debin, the seven brothers, Ye Zhao is really a little uneasy, born with a mouth disease, and dementia, his body and bones have long been washed into empty shelves, and he is addicted to smoking, and he will die early.

This time, Dachun naturally wanted to set a big table for Ye Zhao to see off, but Ye Zhao refused, and said that the three families had a party, and Dachun and Debin both wanted to attend with their wives.

Da Chun is a good thing, although I haven't heard of this rule, how many brothers will bring their wives to the party? It's fun to hear it, and I readily agreed. As for Debin, although he is stupid, he has always known that Brother Jingxiang is the best for him, and he will do whatever Brother says, and if the rules are unruly, he doesn't understand anything.

Although as a man, Ye Zhao also knows his inferior roots and surname, and he agrees with the morality and chastity of women in this era, but if it is said that if a woman wants to be imprisoned in a small world for the rest of her life, Ye Zhao can't help but feel that something is wrong, women must also have their own social activities.

It is Ye Zhao who naturally leads by example and likes to take Rong'er out for a walk.

Can Qianrong'er say that she will not obey anything, only this time, Xianggong is going to travel far again, although he promised himself to take him over when he settled down in Guangzhou, but he didn't know when he would meet again. In order to open up her heart to Xianggong, Rong'er wore the men's clothes that Xianggong liked by "quirks", and went to a "party" with Xianggong.

"Rong'er, you're so beautiful." Ye Zhao said sincerely.

Hearing Xianggong's praise, Rong'er was naturally happy when she thought about it, and lowered her head with a red face.

"Aren't you bored at home every day?" Ye Zhao asked.

Rong'er shook her head slightly, seeing Xianggong's clear eyes looking at her, she was a little worried when she thought about it, when Xianggong was not there, she often secretly played rich chess with Jixiang Ruyi, and she also felt that she was becoming more and more playful, but don't be discovered by Xianggong.

"Go out more in the future, don't be afraid of what others say, at least, you can go to the rouge shop! You don't have to buy it in the house. Didn't I leave you a lot of silver? ”

Rong'er nodded again, remembering that Xianggong was secretly giving himself private money now, instead of waiting for the usual silver and money in the house, and her heart was happy.

Ye Zhao didn't know that the silver ticket she left for the little guy was "secretly" given to her in her eyes, she had just gotten married, and she didn't have any concept of ordinary silver. Because the prince stopped him as a son, he has been favored since he was a child, and he never relied on the monthly silver, so he has no concept of the silver of this famous family.

The carriage clicked, but it soon arrived downstairs in Fuhe.

The shops here are more and more colorful, pedestrians are like shuttles, and the gold lacquer signboard of Fuhe Building shines brightly under the head.

I still remember that I beat Zeng Wenzheng's distant relatives here last time, although the matter is over, Zeng Wenzheng has never been a magnanimous person, but he is afraid of holding a grudge against himself, but he can't help himself.

Ye Zhao saw that Rong'er looked extremely cramped after getting off the carriage, after all, she rarely went out, let alone the restaurant and tea shop, which was different from her sister. When the family was in the middle of the road, his father was at a loss, but in order to get his grandfather out of prison, Lan Guiren once showed up and went to relatives' houses to borrow silver. When you are a teenager, you can see his responsibility.

"Let's go, what are you afraid of?" Ye Zhao took her hand, and Rong'er was even more startled, these four times were all strangers, and many young men looked at her, which made her even more embarrassed.

"Just get used to it! It's so beautiful, why are you afraid of people looking at it? Ye Zhao took Rong'er's hand and walked in and hugged him, and Suna and the four guards followed closely behind, of course, in casual clothes.

Rong'er followed Xianggong up the stairs step by step with her eyes closed, and her heart was fluttering, and she didn't know where she was.

Until I heard the voices of men and women who were messing up and saying hello: "Say hello to Mrs." Rong'er slowly opened her eyes, and in front of her was in the golden pavilion, beating two men on one knee, and there was a beautiful woman on each of them.

I know that Da Chun and Debin are friends of Xiang Gong, and as for the wives of the two of them, they also came to visit them in the house during the New Year's holidays, but it was the first time they met in the restaurant.

Da Chun and Debin may not need to play thousands to meet Ye Zhao, but Rong'er is different, this is the real imperial court's order of the Duchess of the Auxiliary Kingdom, the birth of Lin'er is eligible for the reward, and the birth of a daughter is a countryman.

Rong'er hurriedly said: "Please get up, they are all friends of Guogong, don't be formal." "She is much more familiar with dealing with this scene, and at a young age, she has a more noble demeanor. Compared to Ye Zhao's child, it can be very different. It's just that I'm wearing men's clothes, it's really nonsense, and it's not a proper system, but seeing the husband on the side, the panic in Rong'er's careful thinking gradually faded.

In fact, Rong'er learns etiquette very quickly, but if she wants to say how superior the clan nobles are, she doesn't know or think, she just knows that it is great that the prince has been named the prince of the auxiliary country.

Listening to Rong'er's words, Da Chun didn't give Ye Zhao a salute at this time, so he hurriedly turned around and called a thousand: "Da Chun asks for peace to grandpa." "Guogong is a super product, but it is completely different from the title of General Zhenguo. It is said that the courtiers with different surnames, the first-class title is the duke, and the meritorious service of Zeng Guofan, after the extermination of the Taiping Army, he was only awarded the first-class marquis, but he was not promoted to the duke.

Debin's mind is not clear, he will follow what Da Chun does, and he will also follow the thousands of calls to Ye Zhao to ask for peace. The wives of his two also blessed, reporting the name Yingying Yanyan, "Please be safe with my grandfather, my grandfather is auspicious." ”

Dachun's wife Li Jiashi and Debin's wife Guo Luoluo are all tender beauties, full of pearls and greenery, and they are radiant.

Ye Zhao hurriedly said: "Please get up, don't be formal." "In front of other people's wives, you have to be more solemn.

But when Da Chun got up, Ye Zhao couldn't help it, and knocked Da Chun on the head with a fan: "You kid can also kneel down?" The seventh brother is also messing around with you! ”

Da Chun smiled, Guo Luo Luo and Li Jia were stunned, but it was obvious that the relationship between the father-in-law and the father-in-law was very close, and they were extremely happy in their hearts. In the past, I only knew that Jing Ge'er was good friends with her husband, after all, I had never seen what it was like for them to be together, but now when I saw them, the two little women were surprised and happy, and they both felt that although their husbands were incompetent, they had made good friends. Especially Guo Luoluo, who frequently looked at Debin, didn't think that he was useless.

"Sit, please sit down, we are all brothers and sisters today, don't be formal, I won't have the heart to hold this party next time!" Ye Zhao's fan pointed and pointed, and he was arrogant.

"Old Seven, is the medicine I brought you useful?" Ye Zhao looked at Debin, and wanted to say that the weakness of the body was naturally a traditional Chinese medicine tonic, but Ye Zhao still brought some Western tonic medicine to Debin from Hong Kong.

"Every day, every day, I'm taking it, but it's bitter." Debin stammered, and made an unpalatable expression, which made Ye Zhao laugh.

"You kid, it's not enough to just take tonics, you have to stop smoking, I see, you will go with me as a soldier, and ensure that in a few years, you will be like a strong calf!" Ye Zhao shook his fan, and suddenly had an idea, he, the seventh brother, must always find a way not to make him run out of oil at a young age.

"Okay, good!" Debin doesn't know how hard it is to be a soldier, but he is suffocated in Beijing, and it would be great if he could go out of Beijing and be with Brother Jing.

Da Chun immediately said: "Brother, you can't favor one over the other, if the seventh child goes, I will go too!" ”

Ye Zhao laughed; "You, I'm afraid that something will happen to me if you cause me trouble, besides, these four or nine cities are without you, so it's not messy, you can't go."

Da Chun rolled his eyes and said, "Brother, I'm better than the seventh child, right?" ”

Ye Zhao smiled, pondered for a while, but said with a straight face: "I'm leaving, I'm Ama Eniang, you have to help me with filial piety, if there is any trouble, you have to be the first to give me a letter." ”

Da Chun felt comfortable in his heart at this time, and patted his chest, "Brother, don't worry, I promise to do it beautifully." ”

As he was talking, there was a soft knock on the door, and several guys came in with a small plate of dragon and phoenix brocade jade, which was full of various desserts.

Ye Zhao shook his fan and said, "Come, try the cake fruit of Yiren, the chef hired from Shanghai, this Western pastry, try it occasionally, but it is also refreshing." ”

Da Chun's face was not funny: "Brother, I thought it was the cook of the Rakshasa slave girl." "If it weren't for the presence of the Duchess of the Kingdom, Da Chun would be afraid that any silver sentence would pop out.

Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and said: "No, no, no, the Rakshasa food is vulgar, and some snacks are good, but I have to go to Petersburg and Moscow to find a good cook, and I will have a chance in the future." ”

Turned his head and glanced at Rong'er, then smiled: "Change seats, the three ladies sit on one side, let's sit on the other side, and talk about each other." Otherwise, I'm afraid that you will find this party boring, and even if you come next time, it will only be a hindrance. ”

Rong'er and the others naturally listened to Ye Zhao, and quickly changed seats, but Guo Luo Luo said to Ye Zhao in a coquettish voice: "Grandpa, it's actually okay, listen to Grandpa, we can increase our knowledge." Her eyes were watery and extremely charming.

Ye Zhao smiled: "Then gather more, we always have to move around more." ”

Guo Luo Luo nodded with a chuckle, the first time she gathered, but she was the most daring, and her smile was not very restrained.

Li Jiashi kept talking to Rong'er in a whisper, and didn't look at the man.

Tasting the pastries, the two classical beauties are naturally dignified and charming, Rong'er is young, holding the small posture of an ancient lady, but it is even more cute.

When the guy brought the red wine, Suna followed in and whispered in Ye Zhao's ear: "Master, the third German has just arrived, and he will come to the master's wine in the Qiong Garden next door." ”

De Laosan is the third brother of Debin, the third son of Prince Rui, named Dechang, who is said to be the most loved by Prince Rui.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, turned his head and smiled at Debin: "Seventh brother, your third brother is also here, looking at our party, I'm afraid I'm going to be scared." Who knew that when Debin heard this, his face showed resentment, he slammed his fist on the table, and said loudly: "He, what's wrong with him?" Amma is biased, partial to him, I'm not afraid of him! ”

Ye Zhao was really surprised, Debin is simple, happy and angry, but his surname is pure and good, and his brain is not easy to use, he has never seen him so angry, not to mention that he mentioned his third brother before, he admired it very much.

After a little thought, Prince Mo Feirui has already decided to be knighted by Dechang? Although it is said that the clan will decide which elder brother will attack the prince after his death, if the prince has already intended it, under normal circumstances, the candidate for the eldest brother will be determined according to the prince's wishes.

Ye Zhao patted Debin's shoulder with a smile and said: "Seventh brother, the manly husband Taishan will not change his face before he collapses, not to mention a mere prince, I used to think that you were the surname of Xianyun Yehe, and I don't force you as a brother, if you want to compete with them for the throne, why is it difficult?" Come with me, after three years, you will be reborn as the seventh brother, and anyone will have to pick a thumbs up and say, the seventh brother is good! ”

Hearing this, Guo Luo Luo looked at it and looked thoughtful.

Ye Zhao is really going to take Debin away, no matter what, he has to help him quit his addiction to smoking, don't dare to say anything else, he can always do it by extending his life for a few years.

But who knew that Debin's face turned red and said, "I, I didn't want to fight with Dechang, but, but ......" gritted his teeth and punched the table, the thick sandalwood desktop did not move at all, but his hands were bleeding.

Ye Zhaoxin said What happened to these seven younger brothers? Da Chun, who came over to pour wine, said in Ye Zhao's ear: "Brother, I think the rumors are true. I heard that the daughter-in-law of the seventh brother was not in the room, and hooked up with the third brother, and was bumped into by the seventh last month, and the two of them made a move, which is the opponent of the bastard? His eyes were swollen after being beaten by him. I heard someone say a few days ago that I scolded people, thinking they were chewing the root of their tongues, but now I see, Lao Qi has really suffered a big loss! ”

Ye Zhao frowned slightly, and looked at Guo Luo Luo, and sure enough, Guo Luo Luo glanced at Da Chun and himself biting his ear, his pretty face was a little unnatural, and he turned his head to talk to Rong'er.

Ye Zhaoke is a little angry, bullying people don't take such bullies, you steal people to find excitement, okay, you go and steal that powerful master, even if you steal Dachun's daughter-in-law, I think you have the ability, but what is it that you steal your own brother, or the daughter-in-law of your demented brother? Are you cheap?

was on fire, but saw that the red sandalwood door of the room was gently pushed open, and a very handsome young man walked in, it was Dechang, except for some gloomy color on his face, it can really be said that his face is like a crown of jade, and his eyes are like stars.

Dechang came in, but when he saw a female dependent, he was slightly stunned, and then walked towards Ye Zhao with a smile on his face, and hugged his fists to salute: "Brother Jing, it's really not easy to see your old man's side, Brother Jing, you are auspicious!" As he spoke, he walked over and prepared to salute Ye Zhao.

Guo Luoluo's face became even more unnatural when he saw Dechang, and Debin stood up and stammered: "You, you let me out!" Get out, get out! ”

Dechang looked at Debin and frowned, and said with a smile: "This kid, there are no rules, think you are in our palace?" He turned back to Ye Zhao and said, "Brother Jing, don't laugh, my seventh child has such a temper, but I didn't say it......"

"Bang" No one could have imagined that Dechang came to Ye Zhao with an affectionate face, but Ye Zhao suddenly smashed a punch in his face, Dechang almost smiled and took a few steps back, and sat down with a poof.

The room was full of surprise.

Dechang was beaten to the ground, his face was shocked, he reached out to touch his nose, but he touched the blood on his hands, he screamed strangely: "Jingxiang, are you crazy?!" What are you doing to hit me? "It's inexplicable, although he guessed that Ye Zhao was dissatisfied with him, he never imagined that Ye Zhao would directly beat him.

Ye Zhao rushed over early, and kicked at the door of Dechang's face, Dechang screamed strangely, and fell down in the sky, Ye Zhao kicked over, and scolded in his mouth: "Bah, what are you?" Do you still have a reason to beat you? I want to hit you, what's the matter? I'll see you in the future and hit you once! ”

Dechang had no power to fight back, covering his face and screaming in pain.

Da Chun came back to his senses, hurriedly rushed up and hugged Ye Zhao, put Ye Zhao aside, and turned around He crackled and kicked and beat Dechang who was lying on the ground covering his head, and scolded: "Beat you? I want your life today! He started even harder, and ran all the way to Dechang's lower body, only to kick Dechang and hunch his waist, snot and tears flowed horizontally, and he told him to forgive: "Grandpa, Da Sixth Master, spare me, spare me!" ”

Dechang has never encountered such a scene in his life, and he was so scared that his pants peed.

Guo Luo Luo began to stand up in surprise, but now he had already sat down, and leaned towards Rong'er's side, he had heard that Brother Jing'er and his gang were the tyrants of the Imperial City, but they really didn't think they would be so domineering, seeing that De Chang was beaten because of that, he didn't know how he would deal with himself in a while.

Ye Zhao shook the fan, he was naturally deliberately hugged by Da Chun, otherwise Da Chun's small body, how could he hold him? Shaking the fan, Ye Zhao scolded: "Sandezi, you remember it for me, I will see you once in this life!" Don't say that you can't pee now, and you will be the prince of the county in the future, and the master will be right! And your virtue? Do you also want to touch the light of your ancestors? The master will beat your ancestors to take a detour! Acquaintances go to Shengjing! Otherwise, the next time we meet you, I'll be gelding! ”

Ye Zhao turned back to Debin and said, "Seventh brother, don't go to Guangzhou, it's in Beijing, I see who dares to bully you!" ”

Guo Luo Luo never dreamed that the third elder brother who was the most favored in the mansion would be beaten like a wild dog on the ground to forgive, and when he left Prince Rui's mansion, he seemed to be a fart in the eyes of others. I used to think that the third elder brother was handsome and chic, and his image was quite tall, but now I don't know why, I despise him a little.

I regret it even more in my heart, I knew that Xianggong had a friend like Brother Jing, and I should have been nice to him a long time ago, who can attack the lord is not necessarily, not to mention that even if the third lord is the king, what is he?

The more I think about it, the more I regret it, only to feel that I was too stupid and short-sighted, and I did all the foolish things.

(To be continued)
