Chapter 492: Yang Xiuqing's troubles
Suzhou garden is not like ordinary mansions, the main house is a square in front of it, around the wall is the gate, Suzhou garden pay attention to within a few feet, rebuild the world, out of the ten thousand volumes of the hall, and through a corridor across the lake, then on the road, not a few steps, I saw Wen Xian with a woman and children, accompanied by two female soldiers, strolling on the cobblestone road.
"Auntie, Francis, why are you here too?" When Bonham came to China, Alice was only happy and not surprised, but when she saw her aunt and little cousin, Alice was really stunned and couldn't help but cry out in her voice.
"It's a long story" Looking at the slim Alice, Alan was also full of joy, but he noticed the child in Alice's arms, and couldn't help but change his words: "Alice, whose child is this?" β
"Hmm!" Alice's pretty face was slightly red, and she nodded happily: "Her name is Xiaoxue, she is the child of me and Wang Feng, and she is one and a half years old this year." β
In an instant, Allen's expression was extremely exciting, and she was naturally happy, she had always regarded Alice as a daughter, and Xiaoxue was also like her granddaughter, but her mood was still a little complicated, Alice even gave birth to a child, which made her completely stop persuading Alice to turn back, and now she only hopes that Alice can be happy and even become the queen of China.
But she knows that this is difficult, on the one hand, Alice is a foreigner, congenitally weak, and the several Chinese women who follow Alice are obviously also Wang Feng's wives, from her foreigner eyes, they are all dignified and beautiful, and more importantly, the queen is all involved in moving her whole body. Beauty and affection are secondary, and profit is the determining factor. Wang Feng's empress, in her cognition, should come from a big family in China. How does Alice, who has shallow roots, compete?
Sighing secretly, Alan stretched out his arms and smiled with emotion: "Our Alice has grown up, come, let me see the child." β
Seeing that her aunt did not object to her marriage, Alice was also relieved, hurriedly stuffed Xiaoxue over, and introduced each other for both parties.
"This is my aunt, Ms. Allen, and my cousin Francis, this is Hong Xuanjiao, commander of the First Army of the Chinese Democratic Alliance Army and governor of Jiangsu Province. This is Su Sanniang, commander of the Fourth Army of the Democratic Alliance Army and vice governor of Jiangsu Province, this is Yang Shuijiao, deputy commander of the Women's Special Army of the Democratic League, this is Fu Shanxiang, editor-in-chief of Xinhua Daily, these two are Song Lu'e and Song Caiyan, the principal and vice principal of Hope School, and this is Fu Luanxiang, the director of the Master of Nets Garden! β
Wen Xian has been dealing with Wang Feng for three years, and the Democratic Alliance is very familiar with him, so there is no need to deliberately introduce him, Alice's focus is to introduce her aunt and cousin.
Francis was a child who didn't have any ideas, just a milky thanks. took the red envelopes handed over, but Allen's heart became heavier and heavier, and she learned a lot from Wen Xian's mouth about the Democratic Alliance. Knowing that this is a capable and powerful army, it is forbidden to go through the back door of any trust, that is. Each of them has a position commensurate with his abilities and exploits, and these women. The first few are all in the important positions of military commanders and provincial governors, and they are obviously very capable women. This made her even more optimistic about Alice's queen's path.
Wen Xian didn't know what his wife was thinking, and after the introduction, he casually asked, "What about Mr. Wang Feng?" Why didn't you see him? It can't be the New Year and you're still busy with official business, right? β
Alice shook her head and said, "Wang Feng has gone abroad for an investigation, calculate the time, and he will be back soon, uncle, you might as well stay in China for a little longer, I believe it won't be long before you can see him." β
Although there had been speculations for a long time, Wen Xian and Alan still exchanged a look that was really like this, but they didn't break it in front of Alice, because it was obvious that Alice didn't know Wang Feng's purpose of going abroad, and when they had children, the couple didn't want to cause a conflict between Wang Feng and Alice, but this matter can't be forgotten!
Wen Xian nodded and said, "Okay, we just have nothing to do, just stay a few more months, just your aunt can help you take care of the child." β
"Today is really a coincidence, China's Chinese New Year's Eve pays attention to reunion, Mr. Wen Xian, you are Alice's relatives, you can come in time, it is in response to the reunion scene, come, three of you come back to the house with us, after dinner, I will let people arrange the house for you." Hong Xuanjiao took it and stretched out her hand with a smile.
"Thank you!" Wen Xian smiled very gracefully and walked forward.
The dinner party of the Chinese New Year's Eve, naturally extremely rich, Wen Xian is better, all year round in China, often can eat delicious Chinese food, but Allen's mother and son are different, either in India to eat that yellow thin paste food, or in the world food rankings can not be on the table of British food, this Chinese cuisine, immediately praised, hate to swallow the plate!
At the same time, Tianjing's Dongwang Mansion is also holding a New Year's dinner, although the table is full of delicacies, beautiful women singing and dancing, Yang Xiuqing is still sitting on the top, but there is always a lack of a bit of joyful atmosphere.
On the one hand, there are fewer people, less Huang Weijiang and Lu Xianpao, although these two people are called by him as dogs, they are his pro-authority, and they often pat him on the back, and now that there are no two people around, they are more or less not used to it.
On the other hand, although the pace of expansion of the Democratic Alliance Army was stopped, Yang Xiuqing arranged for many spies to infiltrate the important cities of the Democratic Alliance Army, and the information transmitted back made him feel like he was on pins and needles.
Militarily, Wang Feng was able to sweep Tianjing with a few thousand troops, and now he is even stronger, and the Taiping army cannot advance eastward, so it can only develop westward, but Zeng Guofan in Hunan blocked the pace of the Taiping army's westward advance, and the two armies are tugging in Hunan.
Economically, the territory of the Democratic Alliance Army is thriving, in stark contrast to the decline of the Kingdom of Taitian, anyone who has a strong neighbor around him is unable to sleep, Yang Xiuqing once had the idea of moving the capital, avoiding the Democratic Alliance, and moving the capital to Jiujiang, but Hong Xiuquan disagreed, saying that he would not leave.
Hong Xiuquan has no real power, just the religious leader and spiritual leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but in any case, he is always in charge, and the big boss refuses to leave, Yang Xiuqing has no courage to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat for the time being, so he can only stay with him.
You must know that Wang Feng, Hong Xuanjiao, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, his sister Yang Shuijiao, and some of the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance are all from the Taiping Army and have an unclear relationship with the Taiping Army, and some people in the army also maintain overt or covert contact with the Democratic Alliance Army.
For example, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, when the defeat has been decided, maybe the Democratic Alliance will be lowered, but these three people, Shi Dakaigui is the wing king, sitting in Hefei, Yang Xiuying does not dare to treat his crime lightly, the latter two are the rising stars of the Taiping Army, in the absence of empirical evidence, the punishment will bring unpredictable consequences.
"Bang!" After pouring a glass of stuffy wine, Yang Xiuqing felt even more upset, slammed the wine glass, waved his hand, and said, "Go down!" β
"Yes!" The sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly, and the song and dance girl gave a salute and hurriedly walked out. (To be continued......)
