At the end of April 1857, the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces arrived in Guangzhou and drove into the Guanyin Mountain Palace.

On the balcony on the second floor of the Lotus Building, Ye Zhao, who was dressed in purple casual clothes, was lying on a recliner basking in the sun, squinting, wearing homemade sunglasses, and shaking his legs, which was very comfortable.

The sound of footsteps behind him, "bang", hit Ye Zhao's shoulder, and he didn't need to look back, just the soft and tender fragrance of this small body, he knew that it was Rong'er.

After taking off his sunglasses and turning around, Ye Zhao couldn't help laughing, it turned out that Rong'er was also wearing a pair of small sunglasses, no wonder she bumped into herself.

The same style as Ye Zhao, similar to the cute snow-white casual clothes of yoga clothes in later generations, with small pink embroidered shoes, there is an indescribable temptation in the innocence, and what is even funnier is that Rong'er's hair is also draped down, wearing a sun hat and small sunglasses, so cute and pure that people can't help but hurt her to death.

Rong'er didn't know how to wear these strange clothes, but I heard Xianggong say that this is called "couple clothes", wearing it on behalf of love is stronger than Jin, Rong'er immediately wears it as a baby, in this lotus building, there are too many things without rules, and it is not exempt from vulgarity.

Rong'er ignored Ye Zhao's evil smile, squeezed around Ye Zhao and said, leaning on Ye Zhao with her small body and not speaking.

"How was it to meet your sister? What did you say? ”

Rong'er had just returned from Guanyin Mountain, although Ye Zhao went to ask for peace the next day, and even asked officials above the fourth grade in Guangdong to go to the palace for hearings, but she still wanted to hear what the nobles of Lan said in private.

"My sister said that the food and accommodation are very good, and I am very used to it, and I want Rong'er to thank her husband on behalf of my sister." As Rong'er spoke, she yawned a little, and leaned closer to Ye Zhao.

Ye Zhao was a little helpless, although Rong'er developed late, she was fourteen years old, her small breasts gradually bulged, and her small body was even more tender, and it was really a torment to sleep with her in her arms at night.

"What else did you say?" Ye Zhao didn't dare to move, the little guy was sensitive, if he avoided her, most of them would think that they didn't like her, but they didn't know how uncomfortable it would be.

"It's gone." Rong'er was lazy, leaning on Ye Zhao's arms very comfortably, as if she liked to sleep lazily during her development.

Ye Zhao touched her little head helplessly.

Guanyin Mountain Guanhailou is building a civil engineering palace, no way, try not to work and lose money, the feasible palace always has to be built, this is a regulation, even if it is not in Yanjing City, how can the palace of the queen mother of the two palaces be sloppy?

The queen mother of the two palaces temporarily lives in the viewing garden on the north side, and the environment is also elegant, and she sent a letter to the capital, justifiably asking the six kings to send the eunuchs over, thinking that the six kings will not be entangled in this matter, but those eunuchs can be carefully examined. As for the palace maids, they can be recruited in Guangzhou, and they can serve the queen mother and the little brother of the two palaces closely, but they can't use people from Yanjing.

"Rong'er, let's go, let's go out for a walk!" Ye Zhao got up with a smile, grabbed the sun hat next to the recliner and put it on, and took Rong'er's hand.

Rong'er's little guy came to the spirit at once, and her beautiful eyes opened wide: "Where are you going?" Music room? "It's so cute.

"Go outside!" Ye Zhao pointed to the lotus downstairs.

Rong'er said happily: "Okay, I'll go change my clothes." ”

Ye Zhao held her hand and said with a smile: "What clothes to change?" Just wearing this, our in-laws are wearing couple outfits all over the world. ”

Rong'er suddenly had a bitter face, how could she go out to meet people in this strange costume?

Seeing her appearance, Ye Zhao began to learn from the big bad wolf: "Rong'er, do you support Xianggong?" ”

Needless to say, Rong'er nodded quickly.

Ye Zhao sighed, as if his face was heavy: "Then you should know that Xianggong is carrying out a new deal in Guangzhou, getting rid of bad habits, and changing concepts." If you want to make progress in thinking, you must first break the old concept, clothing together, should be a hundred schools of thought, how beautiful how to wear, how can there be certain rules? Do you think this dress is beautiful? ”

Wearing a few sets of clothes that her husband likes, Rong'er has secretly looked in the mirror, but she feels that she is beautiful, but she can't talk about it, but it has a different taste when she wears it, and it is fun.

Hearing Xianggong's question, Rong'er had to nod her little head.

Knowing that Rong'er was following her own wishes, Ye Zhao was even more eloquent, "Look at it, I also think it's beautiful." But in this Guangzhou City, no one dares to be the first to be popular, if my wife doesn't support me, who will support me? Shaking his head and sighing as he spoke, he looked like he had unpaid ambition and was hit.

Rong'er saw Xianggong's appearance, but she was distressed, and she didn't hesitate anymore, holding Xianggong's hand, her little face was full of determination, and said: "Then, let's go, I will wear the clothes that Xianggong likes in the future!" "For the sake of justice, why fear going to hell?

Ye Zhao's heart was soft, this little guy, for herself, really doesn't care about anything, she has been educated in orthodoxy since she was a child, and she abides by women's morals in every word and deed, but for herself, these things like "feudal etiquette" can really be abandoned.

Although she regretted pretending to lie to her, but when she thought about it, only if she got rid of some fetters, she would be happier and happier in the future, and she could enjoy the world with herself.

…… When Ye Zhao and Rong'er wore "couple clothes", walked side by side on the pebble road through the Daodaoyue Gate and walked towards the garden, looking at the overwhelmed appearance of the maids and servants, Rong'er did not have the embarrassment she imagined, but her careful thoughts were full of sweetness, as if her little shoulders were helping Xianggong support half the sky, and finally helped Xianggong.

"Slave to Grandpa, Madame, please be safe!" In front of the crescent moon gate in the garden, a manservant couldn't dodge, walked opposite the door with the grandfather and wife, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.

Rong'er's little face was flat, and she said childishly: "Why are you panicking? ”

The manservant panicked because he saw the master and the master and the master and mother dressed in strange clothes, which was disrespectful, and it was better to not see it or not.

But where did he dare to say this, kneeling there, not daring to move.

If Rong'er's current face-like appearance is naturally cute and tight in Ye Zhao's eyes, but in the eyes of the next people, it is different, the master mother is majestic and the whole house, and the maids and servants don't dare to gossip in their hearts.

Rong'er continued to say childishly: "Is it because you see that my and my grandfather's clothes are ugly?" ”

"Slaves don't dare, slaves don't dare!" The manservant kowtowed in fright.

Rong'er snorted coldly: "What's your name?" ”

"Minion, minion king strong!" The manservant kowtowed repeatedly.

Rong'er said: "When I go back, I will ask someone to send you the pattern of my and my grandfather's clothes, you and your wife will do the same, you two will put them on, and give me two circles in Guangzhou City!" ”

The manservant almost fainted, but he dared not comply, so he had to kowtow vigorously.

Rong'er took small steps and entered the garden with Xianggong, the people in the house, Xianggong disdains to discipline, so naturally he has to come by himself, and there are no rules?

In the garden, the flowers compete for beauty, but under the rockery, there are purple and red, with various colored magnetic pots, especially a pot of Yangzhou red peony, the pink whiskers hang down like tassels, extremely gorgeous.

Rong'er has nothing to do, but often comes to the flower garden to visit, Ye Zhao is rare to come once, and asks this and that with great interest, Rong'er knows all kinds of flowers, and tells the story eloquently, childishly and childishly explains to Xianggong. The names of these flowers, when they bloomed and when they withered, and what legends they have.

Ye Zhao listened to it with relish, and couldn't help sighing: "Rong'er, you are really an encyclopedia, when will Xianggong be able to read you?" "From the bottom of my heart, even if I have been a human being in two lives, sometimes I feel ashamed in front of this little Rong'er.

Rong'er was embarrassed to be praised, and asked curiously: "What is an encyclopedia?" ”

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "Xuefu Wuche is an encyclopedia. ”

Rong'er stuck out her little tongue when she heard this: "That Xianggong is an encyclopedia, and Xianggong knows a lot more than Rong'er." ”

Ye Zhao smiled and pressed her little hat, "My wife doesn't have to be humble, because of the good way you think, I will ask the people of the mansion to take my wife out on the street in couple clothes." ”

Rong'er was a little helpless, it didn't matter if she punished one or two, but the people in the general's mansion and the mansion were all on the street like this, what would it be like?

Ye Zhao then shook his head again, knowing that he was whimsical, things had to be done slowly, but he couldn't turn the General's Mansion into a laughing stock in the eyes of others.

Speaking of which, when I came back this time, I found that there were more cases of women and even girls traveling on the streets of Guangzhou, and I heard that some prostitutes in the hall wore Western skirts to expose their white cleavage and even thighs to solicit customers, of course, only in the hall.

As for the streets of Guangzhou, except for the Yi women, the most civilized women are probably the green cloth cheongsam from Shanghai, although the cheongsam has a very small slit and stocking leggings, which does not show the skin, but the tight calf curve is exposed to show the beauty, which is already a great progress.

I don't want to become the kind of beauty in the future, but I dare to show myself as the first mention of a female surname to work. From the perspective of social division of labor, men and women have been unequal since ancient times, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve equality in the future, but it is not a good tradition to confine female surnames at home.

Looking at Rong'er, Ye Zhao suddenly had an idea and said, "Rong'er, what do you do in the mansion every day?" Isn't it boring? ”

Rong'er's eyes widened in surprise: "No." Speaking of which, Rong'er is happy every day, but she never feels that there is anything wrong with her life.

"Would you like to go to school too?" Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Rong'er said in her heart that Rong'er was past the age of inviting Mr. to professor, and unmarried children only wanted to study.

Ye Zhao said with a smile: "After a while, Guangzhou National No. 1 Primary School will open, which is also a new initiative of Xianggong, how about you help Xianggong once, how about experiencing it?" ”

Rong'er had a bitter face, it was hard to say that she didn't support her husband, but I heard that this school is co-educational, and she is a married wife, how can she go to study in a school with a group of big men?

Ye Zhaoneng guessed Rong'er's thoughts, and said: "Although co-educational, men and women can teach in separate classes, and the people who teach the women's class are all female professors, wife, can I still harm you?" I don't want to go to school with other wild men! "The first national primary school deliberately did not divide into boys' schools and girls' schools, thinking that the atmosphere was the first, but after all, the traditional concept is that boys' classes and girls' classes must be divided.

Rong'er goes to school, so she doesn't have to be bored at home every day, learn some knowledge, and make some new friends who are about the same age.

The more Ye Zhao thought about it, the more excited he became, took Rong'er's hand, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go and sign up, if you don't sign up, it's terrible that it's too late and there will be no quota." ”
