Chapter 16: The Concubine
When Ye Zhao returned to the capital, it was already October, and when he met the concubines, he was full of joy and sorrow, and in the next few days, he lived in seclusion in the palace and complained about the pain of lovesickness with the concubines.
In November, [***] arrived in Beijing, now from Tibet Province to Beijing, into Guangxi that is, there is a train, all the way to Jinling, Shanghai, the wheel to the north, not like the previous to move at every turn to take seven or eight months or even ten months of travel, but from Tibet Province into the Central Plains, take Yunnan or Sichuan, the road is difficult, most of the time is spent in the mountains and waters.
At present, the railway from Liuzhou to Guiyang is under construction, and it will come from Chongqing and be repaired to Chengdu.
Ye Zhao re-enthroned [***] and the Panchen Lama, and left [***] to live in Beijing, waiting for the Spring Festival next year, and then sending him back to Lhasa.
The government affairs were busy a few years ago, and the dinner with Zhu Sisi and Da Chun that had been arranged long ago was not completed until the day before the winter solstice in December.
Zhu Sisi's villa is in Po'er Hutong, out of the Forbidden City through the Taimiao, Shejitan, to the north of Zhengyangmen to the west, through the river rice lane, the east entrance of the alley is the back street of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and other several yamen are located here, and now, it has long become the government affairs department of the government department.
This piece is the original in-city inlaid with blue flag people's residence, now there is no difference between the flag people, there are a lot of new immigrants in the inner city, and it is not the appearance of the children of the Eight Banners to set up eagles and play birds.
The three of them found a dumpling restaurant on Bingbu Street at the west exit of Po'er Hutong, and Zhu Sisi occasionally chose to eat outside, although she didn't come a few times, but obviously the shopkeeper was very impressed by her and was extremely courteous. But also, even if such a woman with outstanding temperament has only met once, she will never forget it.
Zhu Sisi's curvaceous figure is wrapped in a delicate double-breasted black tweed coat, which is a casual uniform of female police officers, and she is beautiful and dazzling, which is not worn by ordinary women in Beijing.
sat in the private room on the second floor and asked for a few steamed dumplings, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Chun'er, your sister-in-law didn't scold you less, right?" ”
Zhu Sisi is the deputy director of the Shuntianfu Patrol Department, in charge of personnel and security in Neixi City, including the Inner West City Rifle Patrol Team and the patrol rooms originally set up in the territory of the Blue Flag, Red Flag, Zheng Red Flag, and Zheng Yellow Flag. Da Chun is the inspector of the Xuanwumen Patrol House, and his jurisdiction is the area with the blue flag, and Zhu Sisi is his top boss.
Da Chun laughed dryly twice and said, "Sister-in-law is for my good." ”
has more contact with Zhu Sisi, Da Chun's restraint is gradually gone, but he feels that Brother has not changed much, and when there is no one now, he occasionally changes his voice and calls Ye Zhao "brother".
Ye Zhao smiled: "It seems that I have really been scolded." He turned his head to Zhu Sisi and said: "Chun'er and I have grown up with a bare buttocks, you should be favoritism, don't know how to be a black-faced bag." ”
Zhu Sisi, who was tasting authentic tea, rolled her eyes and didn't squeak.
Ye Zhao couldn't help but remember when she was entangled with her last night, she suddenly sneered at herself, asked Afif whose hatred was her demeanor, and even used her hands to lock herself up to force a confession, but when she met in the brocade tent, her brute force was enough to subdue her, and in the end, she was obedient and obedient by herself.
Ye Zhao talked about the northwest customs and Tibetan customs, Zhu Sisi's face was full of disdain, probably still thinking about Concubine Xiang. Ye Zhao glanced at her, the threat in his eyes was obvious, "I'll clean you up when I go back", Zhu Sisi, who was very familiar with Ye Zhao's surname, could understand it, her face was hot, she made an excuse and walked out.
Da Chun asked in a low voice: "Brother, I heard that the female fan over there is extremely cheap, how many men are there for a woman?" Isn't it? ”
Ye Zhao rubbed his nose and said, "Yes, there are, but the customs are different, and most of them are poor people. "Nowadays Tibetans, the life of the surname before marriage is extremely chaotic, the female Tibetans wear leather robes, the naked no pants and no underwear, if you meet a male Tibetan in the wild, and the male Tibetans see the fancies, then catch up and press down Hu Tianhudi, both sides have no concept of rape, even if the female Tibetans are reluctant, unless they have great strength, where can they resist? However, after marriage, female Tibetans are all to keep their chastity.
Da Chun sighed twice, obviously disapproving with Fanzi's customs.
After Zhu Sisi came back, the two would never talk about this topic again, and after chatting about the war in the northwest, Zhu Sisi asked, "Is the Marquis of Zhongrui still fighting in the west?" ”
Zhongrui Marquis naturally refers to Harich, Harich has recovered Ili, and all the northern parts of the Tianshan Mountains have surrendered, and in terms of the map of later generations, Harich has reached the westernmost point of the north of Xinjiang Province, but on the map of the empire today, Balkash Lake also belongs to the territory of the empire, which is occupied by the Kokand Khanate touched by the tentacles of Tsarist Russia, plus the herdsmen grazing around Balkash Lake, who are emotionally alienated from the Central Plains, and the situation is more complicated.
The southern Uzberi Mountains and Pamirs of the Tianshan Mountains have not yet been pacified, and the Pamirs further west are Afghanistan in later generations, the current Barakzai Dynasty, and the southwest, and Pakistan in later generations, which are now under the rule of the Anglo-Indian governors.
Twenty years ago, the Anglo-Indian authorities launched a war of aggression against the Barak dynasty in Afghanistan, but the armed immigrants and Indian mercenaries were ineffective and the attack on Afghanistan was defeated, but they did not stop and wanted to find a more suitable time to launch a second invasion of Afghanistan.
Thinking about the situation in the northwest and southwest, Ye Zhao said: "It's better to slow down, Tianshan South, and win the support of all ministries." ”
At this time, there was a soft knock on the door, and then the guy with the dumpling plate walked in with a smile.
Da Chun was stunned when he saw the guy, thinking that he was dazzled, he rubbed his eyes and looked again, but no, the horse monkey face, the black mole at the corner of his mouth and a pinch of long hair are unforgettable, it is Da Chun's sworn enemy, Amin who forced Da Chun away from Shengjing Fengtian. Amin is a yellow belt, his father was in power when the six kings were in power, Da Chun once offended him, was severely repaired, and even said, seeing him beat him once, there was even a saying that Amin ran to Dachun's outer room house, drunk and molested Dachun's concubine, seeing that this was not a way, Dachun had to lead his wife and concubine away to Shengjing, lest he really succeed and cuckold himself.
But now, the arrogant Amin is dressed in a cloth shirt, nodding his head, and he has really become a guy who runs the hall.
If you want to say that Dachun returned to the capital, he also looked for this Amin, but his father was sentenced, the family business was ruined, and the children divided the unconfiscated property and went their separate ways, and no one knew where Amin went. Da Chun thought that he had escaped to Guanwai, but who knew that he met it here.
Seeing that Da Chun's face turned pale, Amin put the dumpling plate on the table with a shudder, and suddenly knelt in front of Da Chun and slapped his mouth fiercely: "Sixth Master, it's me who deserves to die, I deserve to die, you don't care about villains, don't be like me, Sixth Master, Sixth Master, I'm damned!" He smacked so much that his mouth turned red.
Da Chun remembered that he had teased his concubine's hateful face in the past, and his heart was furious, and he kicked him down with a snap, and scolded fiercely: "Get out!" "If it weren't for Ye Zhao here, he didn't know if he would have skinned this kid alive.
Amin crawled with a roll, holding his head and running away.
Da Chun sat down hatefully, poured down the wine in the cup in one go, and stayed for a while before saying to Ye Zhao: "Brother, you forgive me, I am really panicked in my heart, at this moment, just at this moment, are you or my Brother Jing'er?" ”
Ye Zhao patted him lightly on the shoulder, but didn't speak, thinking that he knew that he had suffered a lot of grievances in the past, but in fact, he couldn't escape it, if it weren't for his relationship with him, everyone in the capital would not have provoked so many rights and wrongs.
Zhu Sisi said: "This guy seems to be called Jin Min, I heard that he originally had a bit of a family background, but he lost all his bets, it turned out to be your acquaintance?" ”
Ye Zhao rubbed his nose, and said in his heart that his surname had been changed, so as to avoid trouble.
After eating two glasses of wine, Da Chun's anger came and went quickly, and said: "I don't have any ability to bully him, go back, I will also go to Dechang, that kid has the virtue of not being beaten." ”
Ye Zhao knew that Da Chun had beaten De Chang several times, and although Prince Rui was the Minister of Parliament, he had no way to take Da Chun, and he didn't even dare to show his mouth in front of him, so as not to cause trouble in vain. What's more, to put it mildly, this is a private matter of the younger generation, and Da Chun stands up for his other son Debin, but it can't be said to bully him Prince Rui.
Ye Zhao said: "The matter of De Chang, let's talk about it when Debin comes." ”
"What can he think?" Da Chun pursed his lips.
Ye Zhao smiled: "Shibei San, you will know when you see it, now Debin is different from before." Ya film has also quit, and things are done beautifully. ”
Da Chun's eyes lit up and asked, "When will Debin come over?" ”
Ye Zhao said: "Someone recommended him to be the deputy of Shuntian Mansion, and the Government Council approved it, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back before the year, and we will have to be lively and lively then." ”
Da Chun scratched his head and scolded: "This little bastard, can't I be the official?" My sister-in-law is not as old as him. Originally, Da Chun thought that Zhu Sisi's official was just doing fun, and it was the elder brother who favored her, so she was a little official playing with the concubine Niangniang, and only after contact did she know that the concubine was honest and fair, and she was even loved by the patrols, and she was extremely capable, and she was a senior veteran of the patrol system.
Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily, your sister-in-law will be promoted to the director of the Shuntian Mansion Patrol Department immediately, and Debin can't control her." ”
Zhu Sisi was stunned and looked at Ye Zhao.
Ye Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's not that I'm pretending to be a public servant, this is reported by the patrol headquarters, you follow me, at most, you don't know the letter for a few days early." ”
Now the new dynasty is the time to employ people, officials are promoted to three levels in a row and move the capital from time to time in January and three times, Zhu Sisi is a tanhualang, has a secondary diploma of law school night school, and now has applied for the senior class, and it is the first batch of patrols in the empire, if it is not a woman, I am afraid that it would have been promoted long ago.
Ye Zhao looked at Zhu Sisi with a smile and said, "We should also talk to your family about the two of us, right?" Otherwise, if you rise all the way up, your family will look down on me. ”
Zhu Sisi chuckled and said: "Long live the lord is too humble, you have a lot of family wealth, when can my brother and sister-in-law not slap you?" ”
Ye Zhao shook his head and said, "Daddy should have told them there." ”
Zhu Sisi snorted, thinking that she had somehow become a concubine, her father and mother, but she must be very happy.
