Twenty-four, Wuyang City Middle (3)

Everyone burst into laughter. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Guo Songtao felt uncomfortable as if he was stuffed with a mess in his heart, joking with the national shame, these people are too heartless. When he turned his face to look, the doorman who took over the book, Goshha, walked out of the signing room, hurriedly turned around, and asked, "Have you handed over my handbook?" ”

"Lord Hui, how dare you be sloppy in this kind of thing?" Na Goshha was picking his teeth, threw away the toothpick and said with a smile, "Ye Zhitai has the temper of his old man, who dares to urge him?" Dozens of county orders, more than 200 provincial officials in Guangdong, are waiting for his old man! ”

Guo Songtao sighed and asked, "What are you busy with now?" ”

"He had just taken a nap at the old man, and he had already invited Wu Shaorong and Senator Bao to discuss foreign affairs for a while. There was also an Englishman named Sir Tom, who was the Counsellor to the Governor of Hong Kong...... The lowly duty only sends the letter to the messenger, and does not dare to disturb the ......"

"I have something important, you tell me that I want to see him!"

"The army has said that except for foreign affairs, nothing else is allowed to be disturbed-back to you, my lord!"

"What is he doing now? - You go and spread the word again, Guo Songtao wants to see you! "In the past, it was not so difficult to see the hot Su Shun in Beijing, even the personal eunuch of the queen mother was respectful and polite when he saw him, but when he arrived in Guangzhou, he was dismounted, Guo Songtao's heart was a little annoyed,

"Lord Hui," Na Goshha smiled and replied seriously, "The army and Master Hu are meditating on burning incense, and I ask Master Zu to come down." If you don't believe it, you will be able to see it through the window. ”

Guo Songtao was suddenly so angry that his hands and feet were cold, and he couldn't open the bandit defense meeting of more than 200 people, and he ignored the military and political affairs of the Guangdong Foreign Affairs Customs, and slept until four or five o'clock in the afternoon. He grimaced, gritted his teeth and smiled, and threw two Xianfeng silver dollars to Nagoshha. Said: "You take me!" Na Goshha got the money, and while putting it in his waist, he said with a smile: "Thank you." But you really have to take care of the adults, you are a Taoist. Sitting in the West Flower Hall is a rule; Don't break in, if you break in, you will get into trouble, and you can't afford to do your job. Ye Zhitai's most annoying thing is that he stirred up his mandala at this time...... "Saying that, he led the way in front of him, zigzag from the lobby to the west, crossed the moon cave gate, and passed through a flower hedge covering the top stone road. Pointing to the five rooms, he said: "The two rooms on the west side are the study, and the handsome man is inside." These three rooms are flower halls, which are blocked by a grille screen and are connected. The tea and shisha are ready-made, adults please do their own thing, just don't make a sound. "That's it.

After entering the flower hall, Jiang Zhongyuan knew the effect of the two silver dollars. The north and south walls of the Manhua Hall are all inlaid with bright windows, with pale cyan cicada wing yarn, and even the middle grille is blocked by sandalwood screens, which can be opened and closed. It's just a heavy purple and red gold velvet, and the voice of the study next door can be faintly heard. The flower hall has two window sills, full of bonsai flowers, what moon season, roses, pomegranates, red oranges, grapefruits, oranges, tulips, some are lush and verdant, some are full of fruits, some are budding with dew, some are in full bloom, and the fragrance is overwhelming. There are seats and spring benches along the wall, and there are red sandalwood coffee tables. The furnishings are luxurious and elegant, and compared with the concierge, there is really a cloud and mud separation. Two girls were tiptoeing to water the flowers with wine jugs, when they saw him come in. Hurriedly put down the pot, squatted a few times with a smile on his side, gave up his seat, made tea, and did not say a word, standing one by one. Guo Songtao is extremely unaccustomed to serving like this. and two yuan, one of them gave one. The girl was lovely, smiled and accepted it, saluted and went to water. Guo Songtao suddenly realized for a long time, this is the rule in this house. I listened to the movement in the study, and there was a rumbling sound like someone pushing and grinding, but the sound was very subtle. I couldn't help but be curious, walked to the front of the curtain, opened a crack to see, the cicada wing veil was so thin that it was almost transparent, and I saw that the "study" was arranged in a novel way, and there was a portrait of the patriarch in the middle of the north wall, like the cigarette curling in the furnace on the previous case, and there were three beige worship pads in front of the case. It is said to be a "study", and there are not only bookshelves in the house, but also books. Looking at a few more people, the white braid wearing a camel-colored vest can be seen at a glance that it is Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, and there is also a Yu Baochun who recognizes, who was originally the prefect of Guangzhou, and stayed in the governor's yamen after the evacuation, and became Ye Mingchen's Qingke curtain boy; A person wearing sunglasses and a betel nut purse at his waist must be Master Hu. There are also two horned boys, eight or nine years old. Ye Mingchen stood by the god case, closed his eyes, closed his eyes, and muttered something. The most strange thing is that there is a table on the ground with four feet facing the sky, Yu Baochun and Master Hu are opposite, the two boys are facing each other, standing sideways in the east, west, north and south, and they all close their eyes, and they all point forward with their left hands...... He looked at it strangely, and he bent down to look at it carefully, thinking that someone was pulling his sleeve. When I looked back, it was the girl who made tea, and just about to ask, the girl pulled him over and whispered, "Don't be alarmed!" Last time, Master Fang of the Money Minting Bureau was also like this, but God didn't invite him. Master Fang, that's a popular person, and he will sign up and withdraw on the second day! Why do you want to touch this mold? ”

"Would you like to help you?" Jiang Zhongyuan asked in a low voice.

"Uh-huh......" the girl's voice was even quieter.

"What god please?"

"Sometimes it's Lu Dongbin, sometimes it's He Xiangu, and sometimes the ancestor personally descends to the altar...... Sometimes no one comes! ”

Looking at the girl's spirit, Guo Songtao almost burst out laughing, and hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Shhhhh

Guo Songtao still needs to listen carefully, but there is no need to listen carefully. Next door, Ye Mingchen asked very loudly: "Has the crane arrived?" ”

Yu Baochun, who was standing by the screen, replied: "Please arrive!" ”

"Who's that?"

"It's Tie Guan Li - the immortal family says he is Li Tie Gui!"

"Keep the pen pure, and the ink brushes the paper!" An extremely bright children's voice shouted, "My god is here, Ye Mingchen still doesn't kneel!" Then he listened to the stumbling clothes, and then Ye Mingchen's voice: "The letter official Ye Mingchen asked: One asked if the residents of Guangzhou City Defense were safe; Second, ask when the matter of foreigners can be resolved; Three questions about whether I am in Thailand! ”

Guo Songtao couldn't help but sigh in his heart next door: If you talk about these three questions, Ye Mingchen is not a dirty official, but he is so ignorant and superstitious about ghosts and gods, and he ignores how many real military, political and civil affairs are ignored, and he blindly cares about it, and this stubborn and dull top is really rare in the world! In the midst of his thoughts, he heard a boy shouting, "My god has sent me a messenger to set up a fight!" Then I listened to the sound of moving the shelf, the sound of moving the sand table, and the sound of the brush moving the paper...... When the time passed, the first boy cried out, "My god is gone!" (To be continued.) )
