Chapter Eighty-Five: Still with the Traces of Dawn
When Zhu Sisi was confused, she saw Ye Zhao walking in with a small plate, and there was a blue porcelain bowl on the wooden plate, and in the bowl was steaming rice porridge.
"Drink some porridge and have the strength." Ye Zhao scooped a small spoonful with a spoon, blew lightly, and sent it to Zhu Sisi.
Zhu Sisi didn't want to drink it, but the spoon was brought to her mouth, so she had to gently open her teeth and slowly suck the porridge into her mouth.
After feeding seven or eight spoons, Zhu Sisi shook her head slightly, Ye Zhao put the porridge bowl next to her, helped her cover the quilt, and went to sleep on the sofa in the outhouse.
Zhu Sisi looked at the two bowls of rice porridge on the table, one cold and one hot, and her thoughts fluctuated for a while, and she didn't know what it was like in her heart, let alone when she fell asleep.
When I woke up the next day, Ye Zhao was no longer there, and there was a piece of paper on the table, which read: "Miss Zhu: Have a good rest, I will report leave on behalf of Miss Zhu in the patrol room." ”
Zhu Sisi sighed softly, feeling a little guilty, but in a blink of an eye, she saw a pair of neatly folded little white socks next to the paper, Zhu Sisi's face immediately turned red, she bit her lip, and muttered something hatefully.
…… When Sava came back from the countryside, she naturally went to see Zhu Sisi, and this sister cried all night that night, but she was really not at ease. Who knows, Zhu Sisi is not in the cloth shop at all, Sava can't help but be a little scared, and when the sweetheart comes back, she is happy again, and asks about Zhu Sisi, and the sweetheart doesn't know where she went.
For a few days in a row, Zhu Sisi did not return to the cloth line, Sava asked the sweetheart, the sweetheart only said that it was okay, Sava wanted to go to the patrol room of Sisi's sister to find her, but the arbitration committee organized all the arbitrators to go to the Taiping Mansion to inspect the people's livelihood, Sava had no choice but to say goodbye to the sweetheart, and took the carriage to the Taiping Mansion, of course, whether it was to the countryside or to the Taiping Mansion, accompanied by its own guards.
Ye Zhao has also been very busy these days, and Zhang Youcun should be able to go to Nagasaki in two days, how will he react? What is the outcome of the trade treaty? Ye Zhao explained that his bottom line was to invoke the Yu-US treaty, order Yuben to open five or six ports to China, designate Chinese merchant settlements in several ports of Nagasaki, open tourist areas around them, and recognize that Chinese people stayed in Edo, Osaka, Nagasaki and other places for commercial activities.
I don't know if I will agree to these conditions, and whether there will be an armed conflict between the ships of the Southern Dynasties and the naval army and the border guards, these are all things that Ye Zhao has to consider.
And when he heard that the prince was already on his way to Shanghai, Ye Zhao was even more excited, as long as the prince's father arrived in the south, he would no longer be tied up, and he could attack and retreat and defend the northern strategy, and the sea and sky would be wide.
On the way back to Lantern Lane in the evening, Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and pondered to touch some good things for the prince's father, first, to suppress the shock, and second, to be filial.
Think about this foolish father's favorite bird raising, but the Nanjing Bird Market has long been destroyed after the Taiping Army entered the city, and it has not yet recovered.
The carriage slowly stopped, and Liu San's voice outside: "Master, it's here." ”
Ye Zhao immediately lifted the curtain and got out of the car, in front of the fire alley is a bustling and noisy city, Nanjing's gradually prosperous business district, the newly launched business tabloid "Ning Bao" said that it "businessmen gather, goods gather, treasures are listed, and there is nothing in everything".
In fact, in Ye Zhao's view, this business area is just a hodgepodge of stalls, of course, for the present world, it is not easy to have a prosperous commodity distribution center and a big market, as if there is a temple fair every day.
Shaking the folding fan, Ye Zhaodong looked west to see if there were any new things that could please the prince.
"Master? I've got something good, you see? Ye Zhao was touching in front of the rock sugar gourd stall, and a thin man with an obscene face came over and talked to Ye Zhao with a smile.
Ye Zhao smiled: "What good thing? ”
The thin man mysteriously leaned into Ye Zhao's ear, and the smell of onion and garlic made Ye Zhao frown slightly, "The secret drama map, and you haven't seen it." ”
"Oh?" Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Then I want to see it." "The prince's father doesn't value women, but he likes the spring palace picture very much, if there is that rare, you might as well buy two.
The thin man's eyes immediately lit up: "Master, you come with me." "Pulling out his legs and walking down a remote alley.
With guards by his side, Ye Zhao naturally had no taboos, followed him into the alley, walked a few steps, the thin man stopped, looked left and right, and frowned at the two guards who followed.
Ye Zhao smiled: "It's okay." ”
The thin man took out a few volumes of pictures from his sleeve and treasured them, and unfolded a corner to show Ye Zhao, faintly seeing the bare legs of men and women, Ye Zhao was stunned, but this is a Western oil painting Spring Palace, but it is not a traditional domestic Gongbi painting, to be honest, the artistic conception and the traditional Spring Palace are not a little bit worse, but it is better than the painting is explicit, and it is more intuitive and stimulating.
"How?" The thin man had a smug smile on his face.
Ye Zhao smiled: "I can't see it clearly. ”
The thin man smiled slyly: "If you want to see more, you have to talk about the price." ”
Indeed, the spring palace picture trading often relies on this kind of mystery, if you show it to you, it will be like selling a film in the future, and customers will see it from beginning to end, and the natural attraction will be greatly reduced.
Ye Zhao Nunu mouth, his own guards threw a dime of silver dollars to the thin man, the thin man's eyes lit up suddenly, and slowly unfolded the picture scroll upward, at this time, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard next to the alley, and then the black wooden door was suddenly opened, and several men and women ran out in embarrassment, chasing out seven or eight black uniformed patrols behind, blowing sirens, and rushing over, maybe they couldn't tell who ran out of the house for a while, and a few patrols rushed towards Ye Zhao and the thin man, and the guards quickly blocked the patrol that pounced on Ye Zhao, but the thin man was knocked down by a sweeping crotch leg, Pressed down there, the patrol slapped him and scolded: "Damn a heartless dog, abducting and selling a girl under the age of nine is ruined, bastard!" ”
The thin man was scared to death, he came from Guangzhou, and he knew that he would be hanged if he abducted and sold a young girl under the age of nine to sell silver, so he was so frightened that he cried and shouted: "Master, master, you are mistaken, is this little cowardly so bold?" The small one is the one who sells the Spring Palace, don't believe it, you ask the master, I just entered the alley with the master, and he bought the Spring Palace with me, master! Pointing at Ye Zhao, he almost cried.
"Forget it, let him go." The crisp and delicate voice, but very majestic, pressed the patrol of the thin man to carry him up, and kicked him again, how can there be civilized law enforcement now?
Ye Zhao is a head and two big, can it be someone else who speaks, it is Zhu Sisi, who has just walked out of the mansion, and the female police officer is delicate and beautiful, and her posture is heroic.
Why does it seem that every time I meet her, I don't do a good thing? This buy spring palace picture, speaking of this life is the same as buying a film in later generations, in the eyes of more old-fashioned girls, it is naturally not only sexual, but also obscene, and Zhu Sisi may be said to be an enlightened female surname now, but in later generations, it is naturally an extinct dinosaur that can no longer be old-fashioned.
The thin man who sold the picture of the Spring Palace wanted to slip away, but Zhu Sisi shouted to him: "You stop." ”
The lewd thin man was startled, and he didn't dare to move immediately.
Zhu Sisi pointed at Ye Zhao and asked the thin man, "Did you give him the goods?" ”
The thin man slumped his face and didn't dare to squeak, so he stuffed Ye Zhao with a roll of the Spring Palace, Ye Zhao rubbed his nose and nodded to the guard next to him, and the guard threw a silver dollar to the thin man, and the thin man immediately pulled out his legs and slipped away.
Zhu Sisi glanced at Ye Zhao, as if talking to herself: "Do your eyes still hurt?" ”
Ye Zhao smiled and said, "It's okay, what about you, working overtime again?" ”
Zhu Sisi nodded slightly and said, "It's okay to catch these people back." ”
Ye Zhao said: "Sava misses you tightly." ”
Zhu Sisi didn't know if she heard it or not, and said to Ye Zhao: "I'm busy." ”
Ye Zhao nodded and watched her leave in a beautiful shadow.
