Chapter 68: Home Visits
After the Spring Festival, Guangzhou National Primary School conducted a New Year's home visit, which can be said to be unkind.
Ye Zhao was naturally present this time.
During the Spring Festival, Taihe Xingzi also wore red and green, pasting the Spring Festival couplets written by Rong'er, no way, who called Ye Zhao's brush words a mess.
In the living room of the backyard, the couches covered with embroidered landscape red silk cloth, the marble coffee table are placed with melon and fruit refreshments, candy and snacks, and it is festive.
The female professor of the girls' school, Sven, is beautiful, about twenty years old, with short black hair, wearing a green cotton cheongsam, black cloth shoes, and white cotton socks. But it is from a church school in Hong Kong, the surname Guo is Ziqiang, the name is naturally changed later, listen to the name to know what the surname is, she is also a core member of the Guangzhou Women's Association, promoting "let go of the feet, free love, resist the concubine" radicals.
She came to visit her home with a ten-year-old young man, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, with knotted arm muscles, which looked like a handful of strength, but her younger brother, called Guo Ajian, wearing a brand-new Mao suit, cloth shoes, Ye Zhao estimated that this outfit was paid by Mr. Guo to drum up for his younger brother, because Guo Ajian's profession is "dock porter foreman", in fact, he is the head of the coolie, where can he be so fashionable in dressing?
Listening to Mr. Guo's words, in fact, Ye Zhao's mind was not here at all.
The news of the six kings training the new army finally came from the capital, in fact, Ye Zhao knew that it was all a matter of time, but this person who was valued by the six kings to raise and train the new army made Ye Zhao think about it.
Who is responsible for training the new army? Tso.
Ye Zhao didn't expect this gentleman to stand out very quickly, you must know that he had just emerged, assisting the military affairs of Zeng Guofan, the governor of Liangjiang, and because of his military merits, he was awarded the military department Langzhong, and it was only a year before he was promoted to the head of the military department and the prime minister of the new army affairs.
Because before the Spring Festival, Zuo Zongtang entered Beijing to state military affairs, the six kings met, it is said that the monarch and the ministers talked very happily, and soon promoted Zuo Zongtang to the military department, I heard that the six kings will meet with Zuo Zongtang and call themselves "Longzhong pair", which shows the importance of the six kings.
Zuo Zongtang is really a talent, not to mention his role in the Westernization movement, but to say that under such difficult conditions, he suppressed the rebellion in Xinjiang Province and quelled the rebellion in Xinjiang Province with the support of Tsarist Russia, "drove more than 3,000 miles in one month", was invincible, and regained the territory of Xinjiang Province.
The six kings can be regarded as having a pair of discerning eyes.
Ye Zhao tasted the tea and thought with emotion.
On one side of the sofa, Rong'er and Grandma Jiner sat side by side, both of them were dressed gorgeously and joyfully, both of them were embroidered red cheongsam bright red leather shoes with various styles, the difference was the hem of the cheongsam, Jin'er Grandma's delicate snow-white calves loomed, with that pair of dazzling red leather shoes, it really gave people a strong and indelible impact on the senses, and the modern surname was heart-wrenching; And Rong'er's slender calves that are as clear as jade are wrapped in knee-high red cotton socks, not revealing their skin, but they are even smaller and attractive, wonderful, and tempting people dare not look at it, especially Ye Zhao, every time his eyes sweep over Rong'er, his heart will beat wildly, and there is an urge to have a nosebleed. This, this is 100,000 times more tempting than a sailor's suit.
Stunned by the impact of the uniform style of a stunner of this size, Ye Zhaoxin said that fortunately, Guo Ajian was blocked out of the hall, otherwise he would have suffered. Then he shook his head, a little helpless in his heart, he has been in this world for a long time, but he has also changed, to the standards of the future generations, the two ladies are dressed very neatly, and Rong'er is even more tightly wrapped, but this is looked at a few times, and he feels that he has suffered, which is really unreasonable.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye?" Mr. Guo saw that this Mr. Ye was weird, he sighed and was annoyed for a while, he didn't know what he was doing, and he was talking to him, this is too rude, right?
In fact, since he came to Taihe, Mr. Guo didn't have a good impression of Rong'er's husband, and without saying a word, those subordinates stopped Ah Jian outside, what age is this? Can't women meet people casually?
When she saw Rong'er's husband's other concubine, Teacher Guo was even more disdainful, feudal family, pedantic, and uncivilized, this was her most primitive impression of Ye Zhao's family.
As for Ye Zhao, in Mr. Guo's opinion, he is an old pervert, there is a concubine who is modern and beautiful and makes a woman's heart beat when she sees it, and she also occupies such a small point as Rong'er, which is as shameless as a beast.
Let's talk to him, and he looks like he doesn't belong, and he still needs to ask? I don't know which girl I want to harm.
But I didn't know that Ye Zhao was pondering Yanjing City and Zuo Zongtang.
Teacher Guo called himself, Ye Zhao came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" ”
Grandma Jin Er chuckled: "Master, it's rare for you to go home, don't think about those big things." As he spoke, he gently put a red date into the tea bowl, sent this cup of fragrant tea to Rong'er, and said, "Sister, please use it." ”
Hearing the title of "master", Mr. Guo pursed his lips even more, Rong'er was really embarrassed for her in such a family life.
If you want to say that Teacher Guo, she really likes Rong'er very much, she is beautiful and cute, she doesn't talk much, and she is even smarter, but the entire national primary school, including the boys' class, does not have her good grades.
It's a pity to get married so early. When he first knew that Rong'er was married, Mr. Guo felt very sorry, and when he saw Ye Zhao's wives and concubines again, Mr. Guo was even more heartbroken.
"Mr. Ye, Rong'er is very smart, really smart, and I hope that Mr. Ye will support her studies."
Now that she has entered primary school, Rong'er naturally respects the teacher who teaches her homework, and respects her teacher! Listening to the professor boasting about himself in front of the prime minister, he was a little happy to think about it.
Ye Zhao smiled: "I have always supported her to go to school!" ”
Teacher Guo said: "What I said is that in the future, Mr. Ye may not know that Guangzhou will soon build a secondary school, and in the future, it will also build a higher school, a professional school, and a university. ”
Grandma Jin Er looked at Teacher Guo with a smile, and said in her heart, "What you said my master will not know? This is my master's plan, without my master, you would have drunk the northwest wind.
It can be seen that Mr. Guo is a little resistant to his master, and Grandma Jin Er naturally looks at her unpleasantly, but the master is here, and she has no part to speak.
"Liuyang? I'm not going. Rong'er opened her beautiful eyes and shook her head busily, for fear that Xianggong would agree, although it was a long time ago, not to mention that she would not be able to see Xianggong for a few years when she went to Fanbang alone, so she would not be able to mix with a group of Yi women!
Teacher Guo was much more kind to Rong'er, her delicate face showed a hint of love, and she smiled and said, "You are still young, you will consider these things in the future, what's wrong with staying in Yang?" See the world and learn knowledge, maybe you will be the first female champion of our Qing Dynasty in the future! ”
"Female champion?" Ye Zhao looked at Teacher Guo with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Ye doesn't know, the general Wang is a very enlightened prince, looking at the development of Guangzhou, I think that in less than 20 years, women will be able to participate in the new-style imperial examination and discuss politics." Teacher Guo replied very seriously.
"A new type of imperial examination?" Ye Zhao laughed again.
Seeing Ye Zhao's smile, Teacher Guo was furious, not knowing the frog at the bottom of the vast well in the outside world, but he still said seriously: "Yes, the new imperial examination, I dare to assert that in less than ten years, the examination for selecting officials in Guangzhou will be innovated, and the knowledge they have learned will be added to Rong'er, and in the future, it is not only men who can be officials!" ”
Ye Zhao was a little speechless, but it was really similar to what he imagined. picked up the teacup and tasted it, but when she saw Rong'er looking at herself, she knew that the little guy was worried, and then smiled: "These are all shadowless things, aren't they?" I won't agree to stay in the United States. ”
Teacher Guo frowned, his delicate face was a little dissatisfied, and said: "Mr. Ye, if you can send Rong'er to school, it means that you are a very enlightened person, don't you want Rong'er to succeed in her studies in the future and become a female scientist, inventor or female prime minister?" ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "What is there to do as a strong woman?" This woman is strong, and men stay away, and most of them will not be happy in their married life. Women, it's better to find a good husband, someone will be happy for a lifetime. ”
Rong'er nodded her little head and agreed, and Grandma Jin Er smiled even more coquettishly: "The master's words are really reasonable. "It's almost a sycophant to say that the master is the guiding light of a happy woman.
Choked by Ye Zhaohe's wife and concubine singing and harmonizing, Mr. Guo raised his willow eyebrows, struggled to suppress his emotions, and said in his heart Self-improvement, self-improvement, what are you here for? You're not here to quarrel with people, Guangzhou City, there are thousands of families like Rong'er, can you convince them by quarreling? Always take your time, the scholar has said a sentence "no haste, be patient", do you want to take these four words as the wind in your ears?
After taking a sip of tea and stabilizing his mind, Mr. Guo said, "Mr. Ye, I believe your opinion will change in a few years." ”
Ye Zhao smiled and said: "No matter a few years, decades or hundreds of years, it is difficult for men and women to be equal in all walks of life, especially in politics, women have natural defects in their surnames, Mr. Guo, as a representative of the new female surname in Guangzhou, instead uses empty hopes such as female champions and female prime ministers as a reason to persuade women to study, to be honest, I am a little disappointed." Or did you respond to that sentence, do you study for thousands of miles to be an official? ”
Teacher Guo froze for a moment, opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Ye Zhao waved his hand and said: "Rong'er's study, I will talk about it in the future, if she wants to go to the West to play, I will not stop her." ”
"I'm not going." Rong'er's little head shook like a rattle.
Teacher Guo said in his heart that this man has sharp teeth and a sharp tongue, and it is really difficult to deal with, Rong'er doesn't know what kind of soup has been poured into it, it seems that he listens to him tightly.
I was a little helpless, but I couldn't say anything in this situation, so I had to get up and say goodbye. Looking at the well-proportioned lines of her surname under her cheongsam, Grandma Jin Er snickered: "It's a little beauty, but it's a pity that people pay attention to free love and monogamy, otherwise it's not bad to marry back and be a concubine for the master." ”
Ye Zhao glared at her, and Grandma Jin Er was just eating and laughing charmingly.
"Well, it's time for dinner." Ye Zhao looked out the window and said, "I'm not going back to the house today, just eat next door, let's go together." ”
Next door to Taihe, there is a barbecue restaurant, the environment is also elegant, and the taste is not bad.
"Okay, sir, what do you say Jin Feng should wear?" Grandma Jin Er was slightly excited, but she was rarely taken by the master to act collectively.
Ye Zhao glanced at her and Rong'er, and said, "Don't change it, don't you all bring fur fur?" Just put on a shield from the cold. ”
"Yes, slave and maid obey." Grandma Jin Er agreed with a soft body, she got along with Ye Zhao more and more naturally, and she knew more and more how to please Ye Zhao.
Although it is spring, the thin silk silky cheongsam of Grandma Jin Er and Rong'er is naturally a little cold outside, and when they come out of Taihe, the big and small stunners are dressed in beautiful furs. Grandma Jin'er has a fiery red leather fur, and her high heels are twisted lightly, which is more modern and dazzling, while Rong'er is a snow-white and cute little leather fur, which is immature and beautiful.
Speaking of which, the furs of the two are extremely rare, one is the fur of the fire fox, the other is the treasure of the ferret, and the two furs are fur, but I don't know how many of these two rare animals will be killed.
But Ye Zhao can't help it, in this era, human life is not valuable, how to start protecting animals?
Leading his wives and concubines to go shopping and going to restaurants, Ye Zhaozi is also a little complacent, not to mention it in later generations, in this era when wives and concubines are crowded, but most men can only cherish themselves with brooms and enjoy beauty at home, who can bring it out to show off?
Today, it is unfortunate that the barbecue restaurant is full, and the barbecue that can be eaten now is naturally the upper class, so although it is full, no one is noisy and noisy, and the drinker is also a few people whispering and talking.
Ye Zhao frowned slightly and said, "Change land?" ”
Rong'er and Jin'er's grandmother naturally looked at him and nodded.
"Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye." Someone stood up and shouted, pointing to his desk: "There's a seat here." "It is Mr. Guo's younger brother Guo Ajian, the young man is very enthusiastic, although he has met Ye Zhao, he is familiar with him.
Sven's beautiful teacher Guo also stood up and greeted Rong'er: "Rong'er, come to this table." ”
Ye Zhao hesitated slightly, and then walked over, and the big and small beauties immediately became gorgeous in the barbecue restaurant, and many guests looked sideways and looked at it secretly.
"Ah, this, this is not enough." Seeing Ye Zhao followed by four subordinates, Guo Ajian scratched his head.
An old man with a goatee clenched his fists and smiled: "You sit down, we can stand." ”
Now Ye Zhao's Blue Flag Guard has expanded to more than 200 people, in addition to the invincible spear horseman, but also recruited many national masters into the county palace as a guard, this old man is one of them, known as the eighteen dips in clothes, Tai Chi Wujiquan.
And the name of the majestic long-faced man beside the old man is even more terrifying, called the King of Mighty Eagle Claws, and his iron legs split the mountain.
In fact, Ye Zhao wants to laugh every time he thinks of these strange nicknames and names among the guards, he is too capable of bluffing, but he has to admit that these masters of national arts are indeed unique in small-scale fighting and grabbing, and they are not comparable to battlefield bravery.
Ye Zhao and Rong'er Jin'er's grandmother sat opposite Mr. Guo's sister and brother, Guo Ajian's face turned red for a moment, and he suddenly saw Jin'er's grandmother and Rong'er's coquettishness, and his heart was shocked under the amazement. He sat opposite Ye Zhao, twisting his face at this time, and he didn't dare to look over.
Ye Zhao was amused in his heart, and said to the guy who ran over: "This table is all mine, four big and eight small pieces are baked." The old man behind him threw a silver ocean to the man.
The guy is the one who is more serious with Dechang, Ye Zhaozi also knows, when he saw him, he remembered Dechang, the Queen Mother set off, Ama and Prince Rui and his party also went back to Beijing by land, but I don't know if this Dechang is really crazy, I heard that it is not very good, when he was in Guangzhou, Prince Rui had a gloomy face.
"Great!" The man went happily.
"No, we'll do it ourselves." Seeing Ye Zhaocai's bold appearance, Mr. Guo's bright eyes flashed with a trace of dissatisfaction.
Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Okay, Ah Jian's account is on my account, what about yours, remember how many strings you have eaten, and finally we will settle the bill." He smiled and said to Ah Jian: "Little brother, it won't be so big, my friend will invite you to treat you and my sister will nod, right?" ”
Sure enough, Ah Jian ignored his sister's vicious gaze, blushed and said, "Then, I'll invite you back next time." ”
"Good!" Ye Zhao nodded.
At this time, Mr. Guo naturally felt that the pervert of this feudal family was even more hateful, and glared at Ye Zhao a few times, but did not squeak.
Grandma Jiner just snickered, but Rong'er was immature and talked to Teacher Guo, "Mr. Professor, Xianggong Xie Shi, it is a common practice, just now in the disdainful house, you didn't drink a sip of tea, are you disgusted with Rong'er and Xianggong's courtesy?" ”
Teacher Guo is helpless about this little one, little one doesn't like to talk at school, but every time he says something, you can't refute it, and I don't know what is in the little head, in short, I can't say that she is not a fair.
"Rong'er, it's not what you think." Mr. Guo didn't know how to explain it.
At this time, Ah Jian, who had been trying to tilt his head, suddenly sighed, "Yes, it's Master Zhao!" "Ah, Master Liu is here too!" His voice was full of indescribable excitement, and his face was full of adoration.
Ye Zhao followed his gaze and saw that at the table where someone occupied a seat by the window, there were two groups of men dressed in short clothes, both with cuffs and trouser legs, all rough and fierce.
The two middle-aged people at the head are clasping each other's fists and saluting, which should be Zhao Shizu and Liu Shizu that Ah Jian said.
Ye Zhao asked, "Who are they?" ”
Ah Jian said excitedly: "It's all the old ancestors on the dock, ha, I didn't expect to see his two old people, this Xiguan is a lot of big people." Look, that's Master Long, my ancestor, the first [***] disciple of Master Zhao's sect, but, but it's also there! "The dragon master of his fingers, that is, his ancestor, I don't know which of those men is a follower, and he wants to be very respected in the dock.
Teacher Guo frowned, she has always been very angry that her brother joined the gang at the dock, but there seems to be no way to make a living there, so she can only find a way to transfer him as soon as possible. At this time, seeing his younger brother's envious and adoring look, he snorted coldly and said, "Why don't you kowtow to your ancestor?" ”
Ah Jian was full of excitement, and he didn't hear the ridicule in his sister's words, and sighed: "How can I have that face? I'd like to be able to stand there, but that's fine. ”
Mr. Guo was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Ye Zhao smiled and said: "It's just a gangster, Ah Jian, they are compared to you, a young man who eats properly with his strength, if you want me to say, they are not as good as you, why should you look at them so tall?" ”
Ah Jian was stunned, scratched his head and said, "This, what is this?" ”
For the first time, Teacher Guo heard Ye Zhao say what he heard in the sentence, and echoed: "That's it, Ah Jian, don't follow them, if you want me to say, these people will not end well sooner or later." ”
As he was talking, the guy ran to deliver the meat skewers.
Ye Zhao signaled: "Let's sacrifice the Five Organs Temple!" Picked up a skewer of meat, handed it to Rong'er, and said with a smile: "The shrimp will come in a while, how many will you eat?" I'll peel it for you. ”
Rong'er stretched out her little hand and gestured "three", Ye Zhao smiled, "Okay, three." ”
Teacher Guo looked at it in surprise, so it was, no wonder Rong'er listened to him so much, but she was flamboyant and very good at coaxing girls.
Ye Zhao quickly changed from a feudal [***] parent to a frivolous ghost.
Suddenly there was a scream, but it was Zhao Shizu Liu Shizu Someone at the table showed a dagger and inserted it on the table, and the conversation collapsed, and the guests near the table stood up in fright.
Ye Zhao blindfolded Rong'er's eyes and frowned slightly.
Ah Jian said, "Ah, it's time to do it!" He stood up and wanted to cheer for Master Longye, but was stopped by Teacher Guo and said, "You sit down for me!" Mix less! ”
The long-faced man behind Ye Zhao saw the master's expression, and then strode over, came to the table of the men on the dock, hugged his fists and said, "Everyone, please have a meal, do you want to do it?" Don't be hard to buy and sell! Go to the patrol bureau for the record, then go to the suburbs of the city with three knives and six holes, and come back automatically and consciously squatting in the bureau! Here the bright file scares goodness, not good friends! ”
Zhao Shizu and Liu Shizu all looked at it coldly, and those men let out a deafening laugh, obviously not knowing where a stunned person came.
Ah Jian was startled, and said urgently: "Brother Ye, call him back quickly, otherwise you will have to suffer a big loss when you turn back!" ”
Ye Zhao smiled: "Don't worry, Xiguan rule of law area, isn't there a patrol here?" ”
Teacher Guo was taken aback by the sudden actions of this perverted subordinate, and when he heard Ye Zhao's words, he couldn't cry or laugh, it turned out that he was still a greenhouse seedling who had never seen the world, and said: "Let's not get involved, these people are not easy to mess with." ”
Zhao Shizu looked at the long-faced man and sneered: "This friend, it's none of your business, don't feel uncomfortable, sit back!" I'm going to see red, but I'm sorry for you! ”
"yes, get back here!"
"Get out!"
The men around the two old ancestors shouted one after another.
Ah Jian couldn't care about it, ran over quickly, grabbed the long-faced man, and gave up again: "Master Long, Master Long, it's me, Ah Jian, you, you give face, give face." ”
One of the men seemed to have an impression of Ah Jian, and scolded with a cold face: "It turned out to be your friend of a little bastard, I don't know whether I am alive or dead, hurry up!" ”
Ah Jian laughed repeatedly, and was about to stretch his face to leave, when a strong force came from his neck, he was carried aside, and when he turned his head to look, it was the old man beside Ye Gongzi.
"Get out of here!" The old man with the goatee had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his words were quite unkind.
"Damn, I'm so blind now! Where are all these deflated threes! Liu Shizu's face was flushed, obviously moved, and with a wave of his hand, several men couldn't hold it back for a long time, and immediately surrounded him, reaching out to grab the neck of the old man with a goatee.
The old man with the goatee and the long-faced man glanced at each other, both nodded, and then did not retreat but advanced, I don't know how to flash from the side of several men, and suddenly came to the side of the two old ancestors, "bang" Liu Shizu, who was close to the old man with a goatee, fell out suddenly, and his face suddenly turned white, and he hummed loudly in pain, and one arm was in a strange posture, obviously dislocated by the bone joint.
And that Zhao Shizu is quite skilled, seeing the figure bullying him, he punched out, but he felt a pain in his fist, and he was grabbed by someone, like a vice, and immediately half of his arm was numb.
And Ye Zhao saw it clearly, but saw that the long-faced man immediately turned around, as smart and powerful as a harrier, "snapped" an inverted split, and his right leg was sturdy and slashed on Zhao Shizu's shoulder from top to bottom, which made people's hearts tremble when they were far away, this strength was too penetrating, Zhao Shizu snorted, took a few steps back, and slowly fell to the ground.
Eighteen dips in clothes, iron legs split the mountain, Ye Zhao said in his heart, it turns out that this flower name is not for nothing, this picture is better than martial arts fighting in later generations, powerful, all technical surnames knocked down.
The audience was silent, those men couldn't believe this scene, the two ancestors were like children under other people's hands, and if they couldn't make a move, they were thrown down, this is Guangzhou City, even Zhu Shizu doesn't have this ability, right?
"Take your two ancestors with you and get out of here!" The old man with the goatee said sadly.
Those men were like being amnestied, and immediately helped the two ancestors up, and ran out with a roll, and the dragon master was tripped over the threshold, not to mention how embarrassed he was.
Ah Jian's mouth couldn't be closed, until the old man with a goatee and the man with a long face returned to Ye Zhao's side, and he still looked like an honest man, with low eyebrows and eyes, and he was completely ruthless.
Ah Jian came back to his senses, came back and sat down in a daze, and saw that the two big masters who were standing a few steps away from him, he couldn't sit still, and his buttocks were like pins and needles, how uncomfortable it was to sit.
Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Yes, Ah Jian, this is a life, you have to make money in a down-to-earth manner, rely on being ruthless, if you play for a while, you can't play for a lifetime, you go back to the brothers at the dock, you have to talk about this truth." ”
"Yes, yes." Ah Jian's head was in chaos, so he could only agree indiscriminately.
As soon as there was a noise, the customers in the store were almost gone, and when they waited for the start, they were even more gone. The shopkeeper's sad face asked the guys to clean up the mess, and when he saw that there was a lonely table left in the originally full canteen, he wanted to cry without tears for a while.
Ye Zhao looked around and smiled: "This is quiet, just right." "But in my heart, I thought that this gang should think of banning it as soon as possible, and it should not be taken seriously, but it will affect the lives of ordinary people.
Seeing Ye Zhao's gloating appearance, Mr. Guo was shocked and a little angry, but looking at the few subordinates behind Ye Zhao, he endured it and didn't say anything, the hero doesn't eat the loss in front of him, right?
This person, I don't know if it's a human or a ghost, and so are his subordinates, who originally looked like honest countrymen, but when they changed their faces, it seemed that they could kill people with their surnames with fierce shots.
This person can't be some kind of Jiangyang thief, right?
Ah Jian looked at Ye Zhao again, but he was terrified and worshipped, this old ancestor of the dock was really as insignificant as he said before in the eyes of Brother Ye, at first he thought that Brother Ye was ashamed to speak and did not know the high and low, but now I know that I don't know how many ancestors on the dock, just this ancestor Master Zhu, Brother Ye is afraid that he will not be able to look down on half of his eyes.
Ye Zhao didn't know that he had changed three times in the eyes of Teacher Xiao Guo and Ah Jian, Wen Yan and Rong'er were talking, and winked at Grandma Jiner, meaning that he was not afraid, right? Grandma Jinji smiled to herself and nodded diligently. Ye Zhao pondered himself again, why did he just lead a group of eagle dogs to suppress the heroes of the rivers and lakes? In short, if it is an old-style novel, his image must be a white-faced annihilator, and it is not funny to think about it.
(To be continued)
