In August 1858, the Pingyuan army entered Guangxi and recovered Guilin and Nanning with a thunderous force. In the same month, Guangdong and Jiangxi officials supported the little brother Zailian to ascend the throne in Guangzhou, and the era name was Tongzhi.

The curtain was hung by the two palaces, the general Wang was regent, and the officials of Guangdong and Jiangxi were rewarded.

The towns and patrols of the Pingyuan Army set up camps in several important places in Gui, southern Hunan, northern Jiangxi, and southern Fujian, and the battle between the north and the south was about to break out.

…… Forbidden City South Study.

Gui Liang and Du Han stood under the imperial book case, the emperor's purchase of warships can be said to be done by the two of them, one is a defeated son who raised a private annihilator, and the other is ineffective, fortunately, the emperor is magnanimous and does not blame them, the words are not that the two are confused, but Jingxiang is extremely cunning.

The Southern Dynasty was self-reliant, Su Hongniang surrendered, what an earth-shattering event, the capital was immediately turbulent, but the emperor lifted his weight lightly, and he only said a word, and he had stabilized the dynasty.

Zuo Zongtang's new army Shandong trial, and the monk Lingqin Department to exterminate the puppet king Zhang Santong of the twist army, most of the Shandong border was calmed, the army reported that the new army was all equipped with new rifles from France, Prussia and England, and there were always 10,000 people.

The machine building bureau was located in Zhigu and could produce rifles, ammunition, guns and even ships.

The Ili general Chang Qing went to the table, denouncing Jingxiang for deceiving the empress dowager and bullying the monarch, and said that he had reached an agreement with the Russians to obtain arms support from the Russians in the northwest, and the Russians even stated that they only recognized the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty as Chinese orthodoxy, which was in stark contrast to the neutral attitude of the European countries.

And Chang Qing and Jing Xiang are the same ancestor, the same is the first generation of Prince Zheng Zierharang, the clan inlaid with blue flags, the yellow belt, and Jing Xiang have a deep relationship, and their categorical statement makes the dynasty rejoice, this is the third.

Gui Liang and Du Han stood solemnly under the stage, and they were all extremely admired in their hearts, and only the emperor should turn his hands into clouds and cover his hands for rain.

Jingxiang thieves are menacing, and they are even more coerced to calm the power of the fair party thieves, and the capital is immediately stormy, but the emperor is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and gently resolving it.

It's just that Jingxiang is also a little ruthless, so why did Su Hongniang surrender willingly? It's a cold sweat just thinking about it. However, his shielding of the bandit leader has now become a major crime in the emperor's article against the rebels of the Southern Dynasty.

The six kings finally raised their heads and said, "Go ahead, and do what I want." ”

"Wow!" The two hurriedly knelt down.

…… In the study room of the county king's mansion, Ye Zhao was flipping through the thick letters on the table.

These documents that need to be dealt with are piled up, Guangzhou Yanjing, the first battle is naturally a public opinion war, each righteous and awe-inspiring rebuke the other, and they all want to occupy the moral high ground.

To say that the situation at this time is extremely delicate, the status of the governors and generals of the provinces suddenly became important, whether it is the six kings or the queen mother of the two palaces, not only issued an edict to order the military and political ministers of the provinces to suppress the rebellion, but also wrote secret letters to them, the content of the letter can be imagined, nothing more than grace to win over, reprimand the rebellion.

The most fatal blow of the Guangzhou regime to the Six Kings was to denounce him for poisoning the first emperor, that is, the little Emperor Qixiang.

For a while, in the land of Guangdong and Jiangxi, the story of the six kings poisoning the first emperor was spreading, and now the newsprint printed in lead letters, and there are human and material evidence. Even the relatives and nobles in Manchuria in the capital, and the governors and ministers of the provinces, couldn't help but mutter.

However, Ye Zhao will not take these lawsuits to heart.

On the table is a military map of Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan and Fujian, the six towns of the Pingyuan Army, the fifth and sixth towns of the Red Lady are stationed in Guangxi, Harich is in the Hengzhou camp in southern Hunan, Han Jinchun and Shenbao are in the Jiangxi camp, and Ma Sanbao is in the camp in southern Fujian.

The current domestic situation can be described as extremely delicate, because the Taiping army is between the north and the south, and it is difficult for anyone to move lightly, otherwise it will be a situation where the snipe and the clam compete for the benefit of the fisherman.

The strategy of the Southern Dynasties is naturally to attack the Qing army in Fujian, Zhejiang and Zhejiang, and then break the bandits to occupy the land of the two rivers as the best choice, so that the southeast half of the wall is in hand, the land of fish and rice, the land of silk and tea is in hand, and the trend of swallowing the world can be seen.

This also made it impossible for the Taiping army to take advantage of this chaotic situation to expand, neither did they want to go south to gnaw the hard bones of the Pingyuan army, let alone go north to make the Pingyuan army attack the foundation.

The situation of the Qing army, the Pingyuan army and the Taiping army is the same, whoever moves first will break this delicate balance, and it is themselves who suffer in the end.

I heard that the six kings were preparing to order the new army to go to Liangjiang to take over the Hunan army's defense line, and the elite of the Hunan army would enter Hunan to fight against the Hengzhou camp of the Pingyuan army.

At present, although the system of recusal of officials in different places is extremely perfect, but now it is impossible to take care of it, Zeng Guofan has a great reputation in Hunan, and he will lead his soldiers to fight against the Pingyuan army in this territory, which will inevitably get twice the result with half the effort.

Ye Zhao also knew that due to his own factors, whether it was the Taiping Army, the Qing Army, the New Army, the Hunan Army, or the Huai Army organized by the Liangjiang gentry, the speed of their rifles was greatly accelerated, and it was not the time when a few thousand rifles could sweep the world.

As for the new army, which claims to have 10,000 rifles, although the extermination of the Shandong Cold Weapons Twist Army does not reflect its combat strength, it should not be underestimated.

The so-called "build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king", and it is a last resort to be anxious to stand on its own, but now it is necessary to fight steadily and steadily, so that the rich people of Guangdong and Jiangxi can live in peace, then the people's hearts will be attached, and the first priority is to find a way to slowly infiltrate Fujian and Zhejiang. Yuan Jiasan, after a while, he wants to see him.

And the six kings are afraid that they will not give themselves any time, he will definitely try his best to suppress his strategic space, and now he is trying to see the dagger, but he can't use the name of the queen mother of the two palaces to expand in all directions like before, which makes the six kings bitter.

For example, Yuan Jiasan, who wanted to enter Fujian and Zhejiang, he only had two choices, either to organize the Green Battalion to meet him bravely, or to surrender to Cheng, but he was not as angry as before and was infiltrated by the Pingyuan Army. But now they can't be forced.

Flipping through the letter and seeing the words of the Zhigu Machinery Bureau, Ye Zhao couldn't help but read it carefully.

Speaking of which, the mechanical bureau built by the Northern Dynasty was only two or three years earlier than the Anqing Machinery Bureau in the history of the previous life, and in the second year of the preparation of the mechanical bureau in history, it produced a steam engine, and within two years, China's first steam engine steamship was built, although the main wooden structure was wrapped in iron armor, but from the steam engine to the ship, it was designed and manufactured by two self-taught Chinese.

His own shipyard is really not a few years earlier than that, but among the Chinese technicians in his shipyard, there seems to be no such outstanding person, and it is no wonder that sometimes self-reliant talents are easy to rise, but then again, if you want to master real advanced technology, it is far from enough to be self-reliant, just like the machine bureau in history can not build heavy ships.

Speaking of which, in fact, the Republic of China period at the end of the Qing Dynasty was far from being as poor and white as later generations imagined, from ships to automobiles to train heads, in fact, they could be produced, not to mention matches and nails, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, most of them were government-run, and they went through warlord melee in the Republic of China, and there was never a stable economic order to make the national industry develop, so it was not able to form a three-dimensional industrial system.

The equipment of the Zhigu Machinery Bureau is actually still being carried one after another, but Ye Zhao has no idea of robbing again, this is different from the handover of warships, it is a foreign affairs that the six kings have allowed it to prepare very early, and the world knows that the handover procedures themselves can not find loopholes, unless they go directly to rob, then Guangzhou will become a robber political axe; Second, I am afraid that this machine and equipment will be escorted by British gunboats, and it will not be so easy to rob.

Russia's wolf ambitions, with great fanfare, announced his support for Yanjing's political axe in order to slowly take benefits, and he has never given up on the expansion of the Far East, and now it seems that the prestige of the six kings has been strengthened, but when he has a headache in the future, the six kings can also think of this section, and the current situation is also a last resort.

As for the so-called support for the arms of the North Korea, in fact, it is a blank check, not to mention the long road in the northwest land route, the mountains and roads are far away, and foreign thieves are rampant, let's just say that Russia, itself is in the process of changing its armament, and the defeat of Crimea has made it learn from the pain, and it has begun to eliminate its backward smoothbore guns and catch up with the [***] technology of Europa. Even if a large number of arms were really supported by the North Korea, it was estimated that it would be an obsolete smoothbore gun, and it would be shipped to China to make a lot of money.

Old Maozi, that's really unprofitable.

However, they now also have to speed up the construction of the army, and now the towns of the Pingyuan Army, each town has about 4,000 people, in addition to the artillery battalion and the cavalry, but it is necessary to cut down the cold weapon battalions as soon as possible, and in today's war, the cold weapon battalion is indeed still useful, and sometimes it can be used as a surprise soldier, but the number should not be large, and each town can keep one battalion, and the rifle battalion will be expanded from three battalions to four battalions, plus the reconnaissance posts and guard posts composed of horsemen, riflemen, and revolvers, in fact, each town will maintain about 2,500 musketeers.

Now the matchmaker is still in Guangxi to reorganize the two towns of soldiers, the formation of patrol battalions, Guangxi has a cloud of precious troops to press, and adjacent to the Hunan Hunan army nest, coupled with the people's hearts are not stable, temporarily staying in the two towns of soldiers and horses is also a last resort.

And he also wrote a letter, asking the matchmaker to guard Guangxi, as for the matter of entering Beijing to receive his father-in-law, but he had to wait, and the six kings must take strict precautions now; Second, only the matchmaker is in Guangxi, so she can quickly clean up the situation in Guangxi. The same newly appointed governor of Guangxi is also a fair party general recommended by the matchmaker, called Cen Tianhua, it turns out that it seems to be the deputy head of the party department, and the matchmaker praises it, this person naturally can't be wrong.

What's more, at present, governing Guangxi with a fair party is the fastest way to win the hearts and minds of the people in Guangxi and stabilize the situation in Guangxi, and the usual practice is to unload the mill and kill the donkey in the future, but Ye Zhao does not have to learn it.

Flipping through the letters, Ye Zhao pondered these things, but they were really complicated and headaches.

The fastest way to break the enemy is to occupy the Beijing Division, but the Navy Division is still digesting the three gunboats that have just been installed, not to mention that the landing powers from Zhigu are bound to interfere, and Yongping Mansion has an excellent landing site, but even if the new army in the capital rushes to Liangjiang, how can the capital be empty? How could the six kings be unprepared for what they feared most? If the landed army and horses fall into a bitter battle and cannot occupy the Beijing division very quickly, the combat strength of the troops from various parts of Guangdong and Jiangxi will inevitably be insufficient, and then it will be a very anxious situation.

Yes, we have to think carefully, sometimes the soldiers have to do it as a last resort, with the right fit, with a strange victory, attacking the Beijing division is no longer a miracle move, or temporarily steady and steady, waiting for the opportunity to move.

After taking a sip of tea, Ye Zhao rubbed his temples, got up slowly, stretched his muscles, and sat for a few hours, feeling a little tired.

Now I really want to be a little wishful, there is wishful thinking, and I will help myself pinch my head to relieve fatigue, but there is no one around the matchmaker to serve, even if I want to, it is a rough bandit girl, how can I be wishful and careful? It was called Ruyi and went to Guilin.

And the female secretary of the reform of her secretary's room is even if she is in the soup, not to mention that even if she is wishy-washy, the maid is a scribe, but she is just covering her ears and stealing the bell.

However, I heard that there are now factories and firms outside that have begun to use female clerks and female accountants, and Guangzhou also has a crash course in finance and accounting specifically for women. This is also thanks to the inspiration of the recruitment of female scribes in the palace secretary's office, although in fact, the failure of the palace reform has led to the popular atmosphere.

In any case, the status of women's work has been improved, and in the past, except for special jobs such as female patrolmen, female professors, and female nurses, most of the women who came out to work earned the lowest wage, and most of them were factory workers in textile factories and other factories doing that complicated and heavy labor.

And Su Hongniang, the first lady and female official of the Qing Dynasty, has become a matter of people's talk, I heard that the Guangzhou Women's Association is more likely to try to contact her, and wants to ask her to do what honorary affairs, although the matchmaker did not pay attention, but they used the matchmaker to motivate members, but it made Ye Zhao cry and laugh.

…… With a beard and a azure cloth robe, Ye Zhao slipped into the house from the side door, sat in the study for a long time, just went to Xiguan to relax in a circle, and was about to tear off the beard to return to his true body, when he heard a delicate voice, "Ah, you, you quickly raise your feet." ”

Ye Zhao was inexplicable, raised his feet, but saw that on the bluestone slab, a cricket intestine was rotten through its stomach, lying on the ground softly, obviously trampled to death by himself.

"Ahh What to do, what to do? The fragrance is fragrant, a delicate figure runs in front of her, green cloth skirt embroidered shoes, black soft long hair and strands, but the cloth skirt bamboo hairpin can not hide her graceful figure, beautiful appearance, with an alien accent, delicate and mellow voice is the only one.

Hua Ji, without powder, there is more of a delicate and delicate style.

At this moment, she picked up the corpse of the cricket from the ground with a pale face, and her face was full of sadness.

Ye Zhao's eyes stopped wanting to come over and push her guard away, and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." "I feel strange in my heart, isn't it a singing and dancing class? Why do you look like this? Ran to catch some crickets again.

The plainclothes guards dispersed when they entered the house, and the guards with knives in the house wandered outside the side door.

At this time, three or four women hurriedly came to the door of the moon cave, including a grandmother and a maid, and they all hurriedly asked, "Did you catch it?" ”

A trace of panic flashed in Hua Ji's eyes, but she hurriedly said to Ye Zhao: "You, you go quickly, don't be seen by them." Obviously, I don't recognize Ye Zhao, I think so, when she danced, I was afraid that she didn't dare to look at Ye Zhao directly, not to mention that Ye Zhao had a beard on his face now.

The maid at the front looked pretty, but her face was full of anger, and when she saw the corpse of the cricket in Hua Ji's hand, her face turned sideways, and she shouted, "What's the matter?" Who trampled to death? ”

Ye Zhao was just about to speak, but Hua Ji had already whispered timidly: "Yes, I accidentally ......"

"Smack", before the words fell, he was slapped by the maid, and the maid opened her mouth and scolded: "Little wave hoof, did you hurt the old lady?" Clumsy scripts can't do the work well, what's the matter, you still want to seduce the prince and his old man, you are also worthy? As he spoke, he split his head and covered his face.

Ye Zhao was stunned, looking at the color of the clothes, this maid is just a foreign house, and the lotus building can't enter, don't say that the auspicious Ruyi and others are there, even if you see the little maid in the lotus building, you are afraid that they will only have a good share, but now look at this arrogant Yinwei, it is really incredible, there are all kinds of things in this house, I am the first time I have seen it, before, I couldn't think of it.

Some people in the back showed unbearable looks in their eyes, but they didn't dare to persuade after all, and they also gloated and scolded.

Hua Ji was originally the pillar of the royal song and dance class, not only the prince's personal Ruyi cared for him, but even the phoenix master occasionally went to watch her rehearsal dance, and the peacock of the song and dance class was jealous of her. But all this has changed since Hua Ji danced to the prince, and the big guys thought that she would turn from the carp leaping dragon gate sparrow into a phoenix, who knows that the prince and the prince didn't favor her, how to go, and how to send it back.

And a few days, Ruyi left the palace again, the Feng master also faded it, and never watched her dance alone, there were two times when the prince and Xiao Fujin watched the song and dance to watch the big play, the peacock deliberately did not take Hua Ji to appear, but the prince never asked, I heard that Xiao Fujin ordered Hua Ji's dance, and was blocked by the prince, and the peacock had more bottom in his heart.

was afraid of her stealing the limelight, but this time she had no support, and a few days later, the peacock found a reason to send Hua Ji to the laundry room, because the laundry room was short of manpower, so it was temporarily seconded to Xiaoqing, and there was no need to say hello to the above.

In the laundry room, Xiaoqing handed over all the rough work to Hua Ji to do, and even beat and scolded her at every turn, who told her to dance for the prince? What kind of blessing is that, that you are worthy?

Hua Ji's life, like duckweed, was fought over by others, bumpy and displaced, except for being obedient, she never knew what a struggle was, let alone dared to have any resistance.

Grandma said that good and bad fate are all predestined, and they are all arranged by God. Hanahime was convinced.

Except for the occasional silent cry of her grandmother who misses thousands of miles away, Hua Ji can only accept it.

It hurt so much that Hanahime didn't dare to dodge.

The maid seemed to be still angry, and she didn't know where to pick up a rattan stick, and hit it with a snap, Ye Zhao didn't have time to think about it, she reached out and grabbed it, and her palm was immediately hot.

"Who are you?" The maid asked with a glare.

Although Hua Ji was so frightened that her little body trembled, she whispered and hurriedly said to Ye Zhao: "You, you go quickly, ...... it"

Ye Zhao frowned and said to the maid, "Who are you?" Do you want to beat someone to death? ”

The maid snorted, "A cheap life, if you kill it, you will be killed!" She stepped on Chang Baye's cricket to death, and she deserved to be killed! ”

Ye Zhaoqi said: "Which Chang Eighth Master?" "Chang Shun isn't Xingba?

There was some disdain in the maid's eyes: "You don't know Chang Baye, get out of here." "If it weren't for the fact that Ye Zhao's foreign cloth robe was similar to the style of the servants around the chief manager, he would have scolded him a long time ago.

Ye Zhao frowned and said, "Isn't it just a cricket?" I trampled to death, I'll explain this to the chief manager, okay? ”

The maid was stunned, and saw Ye Zhao walking beside a guard master, it seemed that he knew him, frowned and looked at herself, the maid was shocked, it seems that this person is really the person next to the chief manager, although Chang Baye is the younger brother of the chief manager, but the chief manager doesn't seem to like him very much, and he really fights, afraid that he will suffer.

"Hmph, you'd better have an explanation!" The maid threw down the rattan and went with the others on her toes.

Ye Zhao didn't know what it was like in his heart, and he thought that his mansion was different from other places, but now that he thinks about it, this huge palace, with hundreds of people, is actually a small society, living in it, with ups and downs, but he can't see it.

This is really not knowing the true face of Lushan, only because he is in this mountain.

"Big brother, thank you." Hanahime timidly bowed her head and thanked her.

Ye Zhao waved his hand.

"Ah, your hands." Hua Ji hurriedly grabbed Ye Zhao's hand, with fine skin and tender flesh, and a few faint blood marks were scratched by rattan thorns.

"It's fine." Ye Zhao smiled, knowing that he was recovering extremely quickly.

"It's all bleeding and they say it's okay." Hua Ji hurriedly said: "Come, you come with me, I have wound medicine in my room, but it is easy to use." ”

Ye Zhao was funny, and he wanted to excuse himself, but he could see the pleading in Hua Ji's eyes, the blood on the corner of his mouth, Ye Zhao's heart moved, so he nodded, okay, just go and see what kind of dirt and dirt are hidden in this mansion.

glanced at the guards, and followed Hua Ji to the east side courtyard, asking what was going on as she walked, and how did she catch the crickets in this singing and dancing class?

Hua Ji said that the maid who beat people was called Xiaoqing, who was the steward of the laundry room, and was friendly with Chang Baye, the younger brother of the chief manager, and borrowed Chang Baye's crickets to play, but he didn't want to be accidentally run out by it, which led to the scene just now.

As for how she came to the laundry room, it is vague. However, Ye Zhao could vaguely guess.

"Big brother, wait, wait a minute." When I arrived at the moon cave gate in a courtyard on the east side, Hua Ji said timidly.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, knowing that it must be the residence of the little maid in the laundry room, a large shop, and a courtyard can accommodate dozens of people.

Ye Zhao sat on a stone bench under a green camphor tree and waited, and after a while, Hua Ji's small figure flashed out again, holding a white gauze and a small blue porcelain pot in her hand.

Hua Ji sat down next to Ye Zhao, pulled out the red plug of the small porcelain pot, popped out the white medicine powder and carefully sprinkled it on Ye Zhao's palm, Ye Zhao smiled when he saw it: "Yunnan Baiyao?" ”

Hua Ji was puzzled and said, "I, I don't know." Seeing that she was so timid and cautious to everyone, Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Big brother, thank you." While helping Ye Zhao bandage, Hua Ji whispered thanks.

Ye Zhao said helplessly: "The cricket was originally trampled to death by me, but you have a good heart, help me top the tank, yes, don't be busy taking care of me, you have to deal with this injury......" Looking at the blood marks on the corner of the mouth of the beautiful little face that he carefully bandaged himself, Ye Zhao pointed with his finger.

Hua Ji was puzzled, Ye Zhao helplessly stretched out his hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, Hua Ji's little face was extremely smooth, tender as if it could drip water, although it was just a light touch, but it couldn't help but swing people's hearts.

Hua Ji's face flushed, but after all, she was a remote mountain clan, and she didn't know the Central Plains defense, although she felt that it was inappropriate, she didn't take it seriously, not to mention that in this world, it was the first time that someone was injured for her, and she was full of gratitude to this bearded brother.

"Do they beat you like that all too often?" Ye Zhao frowned and asked.

Hua Ji's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and whispered: "Hua Ji is rough and can't do anything." Obviously, she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with others beating her, but she felt that she was stupid and even a little ashamed.

Ye Zhao shook his head, "You have a specialization in the art industry, you can dance well, but this sewing and rough washing may not be good." ”

Hua Ji looked up in surprise: "How does the eldest brother know that Hua Ji is in the singing and dancing class, and he knows that Hua Ji dances well?" "Apparently this question has been held in my mind for a while.

Ye Zhao smiled: "You are quite famous, don't you know? Everyone says you're the best at dancing in the world. ”

Hanahime's eyes lit up and she said, "Really?" No one has ever told me that I love to dance, but I can't dance well, or ......" Her eyes gradually dimmed again, and she lowered her head, obviously a little sad, it seemed that she remembered to dance for the prince.

Ye Zhao looked at her and sighed in his heart, his every move, and even a word he didn't care about, determined the honor and disgrace of how many people? This is unimaginable in the previous life, let's just say Hua Ji, if he didn't bump into her today, how would he know that just because he didn't watch her dance, she suffered so much.

Inadvertently seeing the bruises on Hua Ji's snow-white wrists, Ye Zhao was even more apologetic, how dazzling was the shiny gold ring? After thinking about it, Ye Zhao said: "Don't be too sad, it's gold that can eventually shine, it's the eagle that will soar, your dancing is really beautiful, some people won't appreciate it!" ”

Hua Ji nodded lightly and said in a low voice: "Hua Ji knows, you are encouraging Hua Ji, you, you are the second good person I have met, the first one is Sister Ruyi, but she is gone." ”

Ye Zhao scratched his head a little, and said that too, if she wants to be wishy-washy, no one will bully her like this, this is really all on her head.

"Hua Ji, in short, you have to think about happy things every day, do you still have a family?"

Hanahime nodded slightly.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "That's right, think about them more, maybe one day you will see them, people live for a lifetime, the heart is miserable and miserable is also alive, happy and happy is also alive, why not live happily?" ”

"Yes." Hanahime nodded again.

Ye Zhao said: "Don't know your little head, I see you, you are really unhappy, do you miss your family?" ”

After a long time, Hua Ji finally whispered: "I, I miss my grandmother." Tears finally couldn't stop falling.

Ye Zhao was silent, Jin Feng bought her as a general buyer, and what about himself, when he saw her for the first time, why didn't he treat her as an item? But I have long forgotten that this is a living person.

Silently handed over the handkerchief and stuffed it into Hanahime's hand.

Hanahime wiped her tears lightly and sobbed.

Ye Zhao took out a cigarette and lit one, he has been in an era for a long time, and his thoughts are inevitably changing imperceptibly, and his heart is getting harder and harder, thinking about himself when he was just reborn, I am afraid, it is already completely two people.

"Ahh Hua Ji noticed that there was a handkerchief in his hand, and he was crumpled by his own tears, and stammered quietly: "I, I'll wash it and bring it to you." ”

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll send it to you." ”

Hanahime's heart is a beat.

"Take it out when you want to cry in the future, think about my words today, hope to be in the world, understand?"

Hua Ji looked up and saw the bright eyes of the bearded brother, and she was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head, her heart pounding.

"Big brother, I'm leaving, I'm very happy today, really happy." Hua Ji stood up gently, not daring to look at Brother Luo's beard, she didn't know why her heart was beating faster and faster, and she felt that she had to go, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to breathe.

Ye Zhao didn't know that there was not much contact between men and women in this world, and some women's small favors and even a few words might touch the scene, and before he finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Sit down for a while, I have a few words to ask you." ”

Hua Ji wanted to leave, and wanted to stay, she wanted to run away, away from what she was afraid of, but here, there seemed to be a magnet, attracting her, tempting her, but she knew that this was a point of no return.

At this moment, more than a dozen men and women suddenly poured in from the west moon cave gate, and the leader was Xiaoqing, pointing to Ye Zhao and Hua Ji at the stone table under the camphor tree and shouting: "Chang Baye, it's them, you see, what good can a lonely man and a widow do?" ”

Xiaoqing's side was a lean young man, with a monkey face and gloomy eyes, who was Chang Baye, the younger brother of Chang Shun, the chief steward of the palace.

If you want to say that Chang Baye, although he and Xiaoqing have no secret communication, but Lang has been interested in concubines for a while, but he doesn't dare to make a mistake due to the strict rules in the house, at most he meets in private and says a few words of self-consideration, Chang Ba is ready to find an opportunity to ask his brother who is a big housekeeper to ask his master for a favor, and marry Xiaoqing to him as a concubine.

And Hua Ji went down to the laundry room, Chang Ba heard that Xiaoqing gave her rough work, so she couldn't help but point out a few words to Xiaoqing, as a man, Chang Ba naturally has a man's thoughts, such a beautiful little stunner, and the masters spent a lot of money to buy, how can it be tyrannical? Even if the master doesn't look down on her, but maybe when he thinks about it and gives it to others, maybe he will end up with a good fate in the future, why bother bullying her like this, she was instigated by the peacock to be a villain.

But Xiaoqing was jealous when she heard it, thinking that Chang Ba had taken a fancy to Hua Ji, but he was doubling down on the bullying of Hua Ji, Chang Ba could only smile bitterly when he heard it, and said in his heart that you can't help but look at me as a dare, although it is also romantic to die under the peony flower, but if this peony can't smell it and become a ghost, then it is not wronged to die?

Occasionally seeing Hua Ji, Chang Ba couldn't help but think about it, but it was just a thought, but today, I suddenly heard Xiaoqing come to deliver a letter, saying that Hua Ji and a subordinate Qingqing and me, Chang Bake was furious, and said that which bastard is not going to die, and he dares to do something that he doesn't dare to touch?

At that moment, Chang Ba led people to come violently, and his heart said to see which yard the bastard didn't open his eyes, and the lard covered his heart.

When I arrived outside the laundry room, I saw that this was the case, the bearded man was sitting side by side with Hua Ji, which was a good catch, and I saw Xiaoqing pointing at the beard and shouting: "Eighth master, just him, he is the person who is in front of the big steward, do you know him?" ”

Chang Ba snorted, strode over with everyone, and scolded as he walked: "Where did the little bastard come from blowing water here!" Open your dog's eyes and see, do you know Chang Baye? ”

Hanahime was pale and bloodless with fright, she didn't know what was going on, she didn't know that being alone with a man might cause trouble. But he stood in front of Ye Zhao and said, "Crickets, crickets were trampled to death by me!" If you want to fight, just hit me! "It's boring to be alive, so what if you are killed? I just hope that Brother Bearded can live happily.

Xiaoqing was even more proud, and said with a smile: "Look, look, protect wild men like this, if you want to say that they are fine, the ghost will believe it!" ”

Ye Zhao looked at the weak figure standing in front of him, funny and angry, but also a little warm.

Xiaoqing scolded Hua Ji again: "Neither of you has to protect anyone, you are all killed by random sticks, do you know?" But it's also lively, let's go to hell together, a pair of annihilating husbands and silver women! ”

Hua Ji's scolded brain is buzzing, why did she become a husband and silver woman? I wanted to argue, but I never quarreled with anyone, I was ashamed, angry and anxious, and the bearded brother died with me.

Hua Ji looked back at Ye Zhao, her brain suddenly surged up, her eyes were dark, her body was shaky, and she slowly fell, Ye Zhao hurriedly supported her.

Before Chang Ba walked to Ye Zhao's side, a guard with a knife flashed out of nowhere, blocking Chang Ba, and said in a deep voice: "What a big dog guts, kneel down!" ”

Chang Ba was startled, and forced a smile to distinguish: "Master, didn't you see it?" This is an adultery! ”

"Bang" received a big mouth on his face, and he often had eight eyes and gold stars, and almost fainted on the spot.

The guard said coldly: "The prince is here!" Blind your dog's eyes! ”

The men and women who came with sticks and brooms to catch them were stunned.

Chang Ba beat a spirit, and immediately understood, but no, up and down the house, as long as you bring a handle, who dares to be alone with this dancing girl? Isn't that the king?

The cold sweat all over the body came down, what did you scold yourself just now? "Little bastard?" Chang Ba's eyes were dark, and he fell to his knees, and he couldn't turn his mind away, so he knew that he crackled and pumped his mouth, and scolded himself for being a bastard.

The men and women knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic.

Xiaoqing opened her mouth wide, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, as if she had fainted with fright.

Ye Zhao picked up Hua Ji, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, those who don't know are not guilty, they are all dispersed, I will explain this matter to the chief manager." Ye Zhao can't say that he is angry, even if he doesn't know whether to be stunned or pretend to be dizzy, maybe in the face of a certain little maid in the Lotus Building, the roles will be reversed, and she will become Hua Ji, and that little maid is her just now, and she can beat and scold her at will.

If you want to say it's weird, the root cause is still to blame yourself, it seems that you have to always follow the rules of the house, at least the phenomenon of the casual beating and scolding of people in charge of things must be slowly eradicated, how can it be a wealthy compound in the new era? But if you want to say anything else, what kind of intrigue tends to be hot and cold, it is not something that can be done by manpower, and the whole mansion is harmonious, unless it is a dream.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhao picked up Hua Ji and said, "Doctor." "Walk to the backyard.

One guard rushed to find the doctor, one followed Ye Zhao forward, but the other guard stayed behind and looked coldly at the kneeling crowd, although he didn't know the identity of the master, but such foul language and insulting the master, if you don't slap them hundreds of mouths, is there any rule?
