Emperor Guangxu was asking the Empress Dowager Cixi about her arrangements, "It seems that there is no arrangement for the military planes to meet today," Pang Delu thought about it and replied, "The Empress Dowager works hard every day, and she always has to rest and rest." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Then the Shengping Department has to be arranged," the emperor took the handkerchief embroidered with the golden dragon and wiped the corners of his mouth, "I can't let my father have fun, my father likes to listen to the drama the most, Su Ri can't accompany my father, you go to arrange the arrangement today, and don't stick to that place, let the worshippers wait, I will go and invite my father to have a good day." ”

"Long live the filial piety of the Lord is really first-class," Pang Delu stretched out his thumb, "The slave will do it, Long Live Lord, you will be invited!" ”

The emperor is in a very good mood today, and he doesn't know what he thinks, the corners of his mouth often have a smile, he has breakfast, read the book for a while, and it is ten o'clock in the morning. ”

The emperor took a few eunuchs, walked out of the Old Summer Palace Palace, walked towards the east, all the way to the peony platform, although the peony platform is very majestic, the main hall of the golden silk nanmu shines in the sun, the peony is quite lush at this time, but unfortunately no one cares, there is no one inside, the eunuchs and palace maids in addition to the necessary sprinkling, do not set foot in this place at all, the emperor just looked inside outside the door, Pang Delu pointed, "The magnolia tree is still planted by the Qianlong Lord himself, it is really tall and tight." ”

All the way to the Qinzheng Palace, sure enough, the daily comings and goings of the military ministers, the ministries and the academy are not seen today, the Qinzheng Palace is a rare leisure, a few huge plane trees will be very shady in front of the Qinzheng Palace, Zhu Zhiyi came out to greet the emperor, and asked for money, "My father, this will be empty?" The emperor walked forward as he walked, and without seeing a few beauties in the Qinzheng Palace, he quickly stopped, "Who is inside?" ”

"If you go back to the Long Live Lord, it is the daughter of the Governor of Zhili who enters the garden to meet the Western Lord."

"Oh? Li Hongzhang's daughter? The emperor turned his face and looked at Zhu Zhiyi in surprise, "What is she doing in the garden?" ”

Li Ju Coupling saluted respectfully to the Queen Mother on the throne, although she was a little nervous, but she was not so nervous that she couldn't salute, "Courtier Li Ju Couple, knock on the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Wanfu Jin'an, Fushou Kangyi." ”

"Get up," the Queen Mother nodded, and looked at Li Ju Coupling who got up with a smile, Li Ju Coupling is definitely not a national color in terms of appearance, but it is very graceful, and this kind of delicate atmosphere also has a sense of naughty mischief, it seems to be a little like Huang Rong's appearance in it, "This is the first time I have seen you, I have received your gift, I and your father, I met many years ago when I was not a queen, counting, it is a world friend, since it is a world friend, don't do such a big gift in the future." ”

"Yes," Li Ju bent down to obey the order, "Although the queen mother said so, the courtiers did not dare to lose the courtesy, the father often instructed at home, if it were not for the recommendation of the queen mother in the past, how could he be virtuous, from a scholar to the south to run a group practice, so many years step by step relying on the queen mother's support, to be such a high-ranking official, open a mansion and build a government, this kindness is something that the family will always remember." ”

Everyone listens to the flattering words comfortably, the queen mother is also a person, sure enough, the queen mother listened to the sacred heart, she laughed, and asked Li Lianying to move the stool to invite Li Ju to sit down, "You really know how to speak, people, although it depends on the progress of history, but more, it is still by your own efforts, do you know the allusions that stand out?" As long as it is a talent, no matter when and where, it can always stand out. ”

"But this morning or evening, you still have to ask your nobles for help," Li Ju replied, "Feng Tang is easy to be old, Li Guang is difficult to seal, this is the truth." ”

"You're right, but in the end, your father is a maxima," the Queen Mother was very satisfied with Li Ju's astuteness, and nodded, "Listen, you should have read a lot of books, right?" ”

"My father's house has a lot of books, and the courtiers don't like women, so they are all reading books for recreation."

"What kind of female red to learn, there are many girls outside to work in the textile factory, those are the right way, female red or something," the queen mother frowned very much, obviously she was also very disdainful of this kind of thing, "Professional errands or leave it to professional people, if the noblewomen of Western countries are so diligent and thrifty with the women of our Great Qing Kingdom, who will sell our silk and these good things to?" ”

"What Niangniang said is very true," Li Ju replied, "so the courtiers spend their pastime reading books. ”

"What kind of books are you reading?"

"Courtiers like to read historical books, historical records and books of the former Han and later Han, the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, and the rest, "Analects" and "Mencius", which are also often read, and later occasionally Western books come in, and they will also take a look."

"You are unique," the Queen Mother said with a smile, "I look at these many people on the side, they read books, but they don't like Western books very much, and you are the only one who says they can read Western books." ”

"The courtiers are ashamed," Li Ju bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "Those technical books are absolutely incomprehensible, after the courtiers entered Beijing, they spent a few days in the women's school, and the women's studies outside specialized in accounting and economics, which are used to manage the family and the business house, which are extremely powerful technologies, and the courtiers are very impressed but, it is true that they can't learn." That's all there is to it, not to mention the more esoteric science and technology. ”

"You are a girl's family, and it is difficult for you to do science and technology," the Queen Mother nodded and said with a smile, "When I was studying before...... Ahem, when I saw it before, I thought that one head was two big, and I had a headache to death, let alone you? So although I run the Tsinghua University Hall, I don't want to take care of the things in it, so I can't answer any important things if you ask Li Lianying, those foreign scientists, and ask some important things. ”

Ju Coupling smiled flatteringly, "Niangniang can't solve scientific books even if she is talented, let alone such a stupid person as a courtier." ”

"But it's good to be able to read Western books," the Queen Mother continued, "what books have you read?" ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi is not the Li Ju Couple that she saw in the main hall, this is in the West Side Palace, not too formal and serious, Li Ju Couple, like her father, is the most good at reading people's faces, since the Empress Dowager Cixi wants such a harmonious atmosphere, she will never do anything to pour cold water, "The courtiers these days, but they have read a British novel called "Jane Eyre".
