Chapter Twenty-Three: The Great Louzi (I)
Chen Ada's came with his wife Wang, and after saying a few words, Chen Ada's sentence came out: "If Ye Gongzi is interested in Ruyi, the deed book Ah Da can't accept it, and he can't accept it, so he just asks Gongzi to pity Ruyi." "I thought that Ye Zhao would return the oil mill to him, because he liked Ruyi and was ready to accept Ruyi into the house, but before he passed the door, the old Chen family took such a big advantage from people, so how could Ruyi be looked down upon?
Wang was so angry that he glared at Chen Ada, but he couldn't do anything.
Picking up the colorful small cover bell and taking a sip of tea, Ye Zhao smiled and said: "Brother Chen, don't misunderstand, this matter is all my wife's idea, the oil mill is handed over to Brother Chen, if Brother Chen is uneasy, you might as well operate slowly and return the money." ”
In fact, according to Chen Ada's meaning, he was going to take the silver from the oil mill and return it to others, but the silver was in the hands of the Wang family, and he would not let go.
Chen Ada could only shake his head vigorously: "Ye Gongzi, then I can't accept it, I haven't heard that the main family is so elevated to the girl, I'm afraid that Ruyi Fu Bo can't stand it." "But to tell you the truth, they are all from the countryside, how can there be a good thing about pie in the sky? If you change your life by changing your life, you are afraid that you will lose your life.
Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and smiled: "Brother Chen, my Ye family's girl is not as blessed as you say, I don't like to hear what you say." ”
Chen Ah was stunned, and the Wang family was already busy and said: "No, with Ye Gongzi, Ruyi will be stained with great blessings, how can there be a blessing and a blessing?" He complained to Chen Adao again: "The son asked you to accept it, and the plain noise annoyed the son!" ”
Ye Zhao chuckled: "What Sister-in-law Chen said is that the eldest brother, the oil mill has been handed over to you, and I don't want you to change the brand of the Wangjia oil mill, but your name is clearly written on the deed, as for the font size, it is naturally better to be a time-honored brand." "To put it clearly, Chen Adaa will be the owner of the oil mill in the future.
Ye Zhao called "Sister-in-law Chen" this time, but the Wang family didn't feel much disgusted, as for the oil mill that changed its owner, it was for nothing anyway, so it didn't matter who the owner was?
"That's it, right? Brother Chen, sister-in-law Chen, I still have something to do. Ye Zhao sent off the guests with tea.
Chen Adaa and Wang didn't want to say anything more, so they hurriedly got up and said goodbye.
……
The new army, which went to encircle and suppress the pirates, had an accident and was detained by the British on Hong Kong Island.
When Pegasus reported to the Yamen of the Metropolitan Command, Ye Zhao was discussing with Gang'an about the training of the remaining half of the new army, as well as the rotation time for encircling and suppressing pirates.
The colonel, who was sent back by Yingyi to report the news, also brought a handwritten letter from the Hong Kong Governor Bao Ling, in which Bao Ling severely condemned the barbaric acts of the Qing officers and soldiers in beating the first mate of the "Seagull" and the bad behavior of taking sailors hostage, and demanded that the Minister of International Trade of the Qing Dynasty immediately go to Hong Kong Island to deal with the crisis.
Looking at Xin Ye Zhao's brows, he frowned, turned his head and asked Xiao Xiaoxiao, "What the hell is going on?" ”
It was the first time for the little school to stand so close to Lord Dutong, his face was flushed, his speech stammered, he had no head or tail, and he couldn't tell why for a long time. only said that he didn't know what was going on, the three requisitioned ships turned around and returned to the dock on Hong Kong Island, and the Yingyi soldiers were waiting at the pier, and the new soldiers of the sailing ship where the colonel was located were disarmed, and the soldiers on the other two ships were still fighting against the Yingyi.
"My lord, this training is all Gang'an's own opinion, please punish the crime!" Gang'an stood up violently and knelt down on one knee to plead guilty.
Ye Zhao smiled bitterly, understanding his thoughts, this disaster is really not small, originally requisitioned Yangyi ships to train the new army is already walking a tightrope, there is such a big mistake, the court blames it, I am afraid that my black yarn will be taken off in an instant, Gang'an, this is preparing to carry the black pot for himself.
It's a pity that this black cauldron is not something he can carry.
Moaning, Ye Zhao didn't speak for a long time, and only the sound of the self-striking bell could be heard in the hall.
"Looks like I'm going to Hong Kong Island." Ye Zhao shook the folding fan, as if talking to himself.
"No adults!" As soon as Anke was a little anxious, "Adults must not!" "But no, this is a monstrous disaster, and the five-mouth trade co-organizer, the deputy capital of Guangzhou actually went to Yiren Island again, that is really adding fuel to the fire, Guangzhou City has always been an undercurrent, let's say General Fuliang, although the recent death of the flag, but this good opportunity, if he does not take the opportunity to put the capital to death is a strange thing.
"Needless to say, I have my own opinions." Saying that, Ye Zhao clapped his hands, "Come on, prepare a sedan chair, and go to the Governor's Mansion!" ”
Gang'an sighed softly, Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, is the most stubborn in foreign affairs, and it is already a miracle not to break the bullet, how can he have the heart to help?
……
"Lord Totong is going to Hong Kong Island?" Ye Mingchen suddenly heard that the new army soldiers were detained in Hong Kong by Yingyi, which was tantamount to a bolt from the blue, and his face was quite ugly, and when he heard that Ye Zhao was going to Hong Kong Island, his brows frowned even tighter.
Ye Zhao sighed and said: "Such a great change, if you don't go to Hong Kong, the Yi people will definitely take the opportunity to provoke, if it causes a monstrous disaster, I will be a sinner of the Great Qing Kingdom." ”
"Let's think long-term!" Ye Mingchen picked up the teacup, put it down again, frowned and said: "Although you are anxious about the training of the army, you can't complain about this matter. ”
Ye Zhao smiled bitterly: "I'm not for the future, the new army is a business, but the beginning of my reform in the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years, Brother Ye, to be honest with you, it doesn't matter if I can't keep this black yarn, but if the new army dies because of my eagerness, and the reform of the imperial court is abolished, I am really unwilling, and I am afraid that future generations will leave infamy." ”
Ye Mingchen was silent, Ye Zhao was so high in the errand of the new army, I don't know if he didn't think so.
Ye Zhao said again: "I must be going to Hong Kong Island, no matter how Brother Ye's excerpt is written, I have no complaints, I only ask Brother Ye to be merciful and urge the court to retain the new army." ”
Ye Mingchen didn't expect Ye Zhao to be so straightforward, sighed, and said, "Why do you have to deal with Yangyi?" On the way to run a new army, just buy his firearms, so why bother to get entangled with Yangyi to exterminate some pirates? If you get into trouble, there is always a remedy, but why do you insist on going to Hong Kong? Yangyi is cunning, who knows what they have in mind? Brother Jing, you are knowledgeable and quick-witted, and you will be a pillar of the court in the future, but why do you always put yourself in the whirlpool? Who knows, this is a trouble-inhospitable move? Seeing that Ye Zhao was unable to protect himself, he felt sorry and pity, and couldn't help but reveal his heart.
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I understand what Brother Ye said, but if there is no first official who is willing to entangle with Yangyi and deal with Yangyi, I am afraid that my Qing Dynasty will lag behind Yangyi forever." What about the closure of Guangzhou? One day, Yangyi will rely on the advantage of the giant cannon to blast open the city gate of my Guangzhou. What if Brother Ye is closed to Yangyi? I'm afraid that at that time, I will become a prisoner of Yangyi's subordinates! ”
"Slap" Ye Mingchen slapped the table, his face was terrible, "What kind of bastard are you!" It's too much of a deception! Just by virtue of your words, I can reproach you for the sin of ignoring and insulting the country and the body! ”
Ye Zhao nodded slightly, "That's also up to Brother Ye, from the bottom of my heart, and please think twice." Saying that, he got up, "I'm going to Hong Kong, Brother Ye wants to play the little brother's guilt, and the little brother has no complaints!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and strode out.
Looking at Ye Zhao's back, Ye Mingchen's face was pale, and he didn't move for a long time.
……
"Why don't you come with me to Hong Kong?"
The warm pavilion is magnificent, Rong'er is helping Ye Zhao pack up the "salute", but it is a suitcase commonly used by Yangyi, Rong'er puts her husband's change of clothes and toiletries into it, including the toothbrush and tooth powder that she herself is used to.
Seeing the little guy's appearance of being a good wife and mother seriously, Ye Zhao couldn't help but laugh.
"Xianggong is out of tolerance, and it is a barbarian land, how can you take Rong'er with you?" The immature little ** who is carved in pink and jade looks like he is knowledgeable, but in Ye Zhao's eyes, he is cute to death.
"What's wrong with tolerances? Does the law of the Great Qing Kingdom govern us? Don't forget, I'm the prince's brother, and you are the sister of the emperor's favored matchmaker! ”
The little guy pursed his lips and didn't squeak, thinking that what Xianggong said was too inappropriate.
Ye Zhao pointed to the photo frame on the table, which was a photo of him and Rong'er, and said, "Put this in too, I think you can take it out and see it." ”
Rong'er had a bitter face, Xianggong's "foreign painting" was a prank, he deliberately stepped on stilts, and his size reached his waist, as if he was really a child.
It's okay to put it in the bedroom and watch and play, but if you take it out to be seen, haven't you really become a child?
"Forget it, let's take a good photo another day, one for each person, and take it with you."
Rong'er nodded her little head vigorously.
Ye Zhao looked at her, suddenly sighed softly, and said, "Rong'er, tell me, will it be smooth for me to go to Hong Kong this time?" ”
Ye Zhao seems to be relaxed, but in fact, the Hong Kong Island crisis is the most difficult moment he has encountered since his rebirth, and the future is extremely dangerous. What did the military giants, imperial historians, and even Emperor Xianfeng think about in the capital? Ye Zhao didn't have a bottom in his heart, and if this matter was not handled properly, the edict from the capital would withdraw his errand.
As for herself, she is under tremendous pressure, but the people around her who can talk seem to be the only one left.
Rong'er, a smart little guy, seemed to see that Xianggong was in a bad mood, walked over and gently took Ye Zhao's hand, and said softly in a childish voice: "Yes, Xianggong will turn evil into good fortune when he does anything." ”
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "So confident in me? ”
Rong'er nodded vigorously.
Ye Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Then why do you still have to write a letter to your sister?" You can't leave me unmentioned in the letter, right? ”
This morning, Rong'er wrote two letters to her family, one of which was addressed to her sister Yi Concubine, asking her family to find a way to pass this letter into the palace as soon as possible, of course, what is more important is to keep it secret, this letter would rather not reach her sister than be seen by others.
Seeing that Ye Zhao actually knew about this, Rong'er was a little frightened, looked down at her toes, and whispered: "That's it, it's a common thing." "I'm afraid that the prince will be angry, and blame myself for making my own decisions. But after she knew Xianggong's current situation from Jixiang's mouth, she was really worried about it, but she couldn't help herself, so she had to write a letter to her sister for help.
"Alas, you stupid girl!" Ye Zhao saw her pitiful appearance, and his heart softened, "What are you afraid of, I know you care about me, so I'm not so domineering." ”
Ye Zhao said, patted her little head, and said with a smile: "Let's go!" I went back and bought you new clothes from Hong Kong. ”
Rong'er knew that it must be those strange clothes, but she happily agreed for the first time, "Xianggong bought it back, and Rong'er wore it." "It's for the sake of being open-minded.
Ye Zhao laughed: "What you said, children are only the ones who pay the bills!" "This is Rong'er's death hole, and there are all kinds of tests. Seeing Rong'er nodding, she walked out of the house with a smile.
Chang Shun was already waiting outside, Chang Shun was in his early twenties, tall and thin, he was smart-looking, and he was also brought from Yanjing. Rui Si often haunts the Taihe, and collects all kinds of intelligence, so naturally it is not good to follow Ye Zhao often, and he also faded out of the position of the steward of the Metropolitan Government, and the new steward is this Chang Shun.
Chang Shun has also served Ye Zhao since he was a child, and his daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law were all married by Ye Zhao, and he is loyal to his master.
"Junko, are you afraid to go to Hong Kong to deal with foreigners?" Ye Zhao looked at him with a smile.
Chang Shun lowered his hands and stood solemnly: "The slave is afraid, but for the sake of the master, the slave is not afraid." ”
Ye Zhao smiled and knocked his head with a fan: "These words are smooth, but people feel comfortable when they hear it, let's go!" ”
