Chapter 11 Bearded Brother

In August 1958, Pingyuan's army entered Guangxi and recovered Guilin and Nanning's prefectures with thunder. Luo Jiuzheng's remnants fled to Vietnam, and Lu Yueting and other fair party members disappeared. In the same month, officials from Guangdong and Jiangxi supported the young prince Zailian ascended the throne in Guangzhou, with the reign of the title of Tongzhi.

The two palaces were covered with curtains, and the general Wang was regent, and the officials in Guangdong and Jiangxi were all promoted and rewarded.

Pingyuan army patrolled and guarded several important places in Guangxi, southern Hunan, northern Jiangxi, and southern Fujian. The battle between the north and the south was about to break out.

...

Study in the South of the Forbidden City.

Gui Liang and Du Han stood under the imperial desk. The emperor's purchase of warships was a result of the two of them. One was to defeat the son and raise traitors, and the other was to do it well. Fortunately, the emperor was magnanimous and did not blame them. It was not that the two were confused, but that Jing Xiang was extremely cunning.

The Southern Dynasty was independent and Su Hongniang surrendered. What an earth-shaking event. The capital was immediately in a state of turmoil, but the emperor was as ruthless as he spoke, and he had stabilized the court's principles.

Zuo Zongtang's new army was tried in Shandong, and he and Senggelinqin's troops wiped out the pseudo king of the Nian Army, and most of the Shandong territory was restored. The army reported that the new army was equipped with new rifles from France, Prussia and England, and there were 10,000 people. He tried the Nian Army with a small sword, and his reputation was already high. This was one of them.

The Machinery Manufacturing Bureau settled in Zhigu and can produce rifles, ammunition, artillery and even ships. The second is the second.

General Chang Qing of Yili submitted a statement, denying Jing Xiang's conspiracy to deceive the empress dowager and deceive the emperor. He also said that reaching an agreement with the Russians could obtain arms support from the northwest. The Russians even expressed their opinion that they only recognized the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty as China's orthodox, which is a sharp contrast to the neutral attitude of the European countries.

Chang Qing and Jing Xiang are the same ancestor, both of the first generation of Prince Zheng Jier Harang, the royal family with the blue flag inlaid with the yellow belt, and the Jing Xiang lineage has a deep relationship. His decisive statement has boosted the Chaogang, and these are the third ones.

Gui Liang and Du Han stood in the stage, and they were extremely admired in their hearts. Only the emperor should have to turn their hands on the clouds and turn their hands on the rain.

The thief Jingxiang came in a fierce manner and even took the power of the thief of the fair party. The capital was in a state of turmoil, but the emperor sat firmly on Diaoyutai and gently resolved it. These layouts were probably all planned in the long run, and now they have made a gentle move.

But Jing Xiang was really cruel, so why did Mrs. Su willingly surrender? It made people sweat. However, sheltering the bandit leader has become a serious crime in the emperor's manifesto to fight against the Southern Dynasty. Of course, this verbal lawsuit is to make the best use of it.

The six kings finally raised their heads and said, "You go and do as I do."

"Zhe!" The two of them hurriedly knelt down.

...

The study room of the County Prince's Mansion reached the side door.

At this time, three or four women rushed over from the gate of Yuedong, including nanny and maids, all of whom were anxiously asked, "Have you caught it?"

A trace of panic flashed in Hua Ji's eyes, but she quickly said to Ye Zhao: "You, leave quickly, don't be seen by them." She obviously didn't recognize Ye Zhao anymore. She thought that when she was performing the dance, she was afraid that she would not dare to look at Ye Zhao directly, let alone Ye Zhao's face was bearded now.

The maid in front was pretty, but she had an angry face. When she saw the cricket corpse in Hua Ji's hand, her face was even more crossed and she shouted, "What's going on? Who stepped on it to death?"

Ye Zhao was about to speak, but Hua Ji was already timidly saying, "Yes, I was accidentally..."

"Pa", before he finished speaking, he was slapped by the maid, and the maid even opened her mouth and cursed: "Little Langduzi, are you harming me? I can't do my job well, so why do you want to seduce the prince, he is the old man, you deserve it?" As he said that, he beat Hua Ji to the face.

Ye Zhao was stunned. Looking at the clothes, this maid was just a housekeeper, and she couldn't even enter the Lotus Tower. Not to mention Jixiang Ruyi and others, even if she saw the little maid in the Lotus Tower, she would probably only be flattering and pleasing. But now looking at her arrogance and power, it is really arrogant. This is the first time she has seen the various things in this mansion. She had never thought about it before.

Some of the maids and maids behind him showed unbearable expressions in their eyes, but they did not dare to persuade them in the end, and they were lucky enough to gloat and curse them with the help of the fire.

Hua Ji was originally the pillar of the singing and dancing ranks of the royal palace. Not only did the prince's close personal care for her, but even the phoenix master would occasionally go to see her dance arrangements. Therefore, the peacocks were afraid of her when the song and dancing ranks were the peacocks. But all this changed after Hua Ji performed the dance to the prince. Everyone thought that she would jump into the dragon gate and sparrows to become phoenixes from now on. Who knew that the prince and the prince had never favored her, so how did they go and how did they send her back.

In a few days, Ruyi left the palace again, and Master Feng was also disgusted with it and never watched her dance alone. There were two times when the prince and Xiaofujin watched singing and dancing and watching big dramas in the mansion. Sai Peacock deliberately did not bring Hua Ji to the stage, but the prince never asked. Hearing that Xiaofujin ordered Hua Ji's dance, he was blocked by the prince, Sai Peacock felt even more confident.

She was afraid of stealing the limelight, but this time she lost her support. In a few days, Peacock found a head and sent it to Hua Ji to the laundry room. Because the laundry room was short of staff, she was temporarily transferred to Xiaoqing, so she didn't have to say hello to her.

In the laundry room, Xiaoqing gave all the rough and tiring work to Hua Ji, and she beat and scolded her at any time. Who told her to dance for the prince? What kind of blessing is that? You deserve it?

Hua Ji's life is like duckweed, and she is being fought over and over again. Apart from obedience, she never knows what struggle is, and she dares not have any struggle.

Grandma said that life is destined and is arranged by God. Hua Ji believed it without doubt.

Apart from occasionally missing her grandmother who is thousands of miles away, Hua Ji can only accept it.

It hurt so much that Hua Ji didn't dare to dodge.

The maid seemed to be unable to relieve her anger. She picked up a vine from somewhere and hit her in a bang. Ye Zhao didn't have time to think about it, so she reached out to grab it, and her palm immediately felt hot.

"Who are you?" the maid asked with a stare.

Although Hua Ji was so scared that her little body trembled, she quietly said to Ye Zhao anxiously: "You, go quickly..."

Ye Zhao frowned and said to the maid, "Who are you? Do you want to beat someone to death?"

The maid sneered, "A bad life, you will be beaten to death if you beat him to death! She deserves to be beaten to death by Master Chang Ba’s crickets!"

Ye Zhaoqi said: "Which Ba Master Chang?" Chang Shun is not Xing Ba?

The maid had a little disdain in her eyes: "You don't know, Master Chang Ba, please get out of here." If it weren't for Ye Zhao's foreign cloth robe similar to the servants around the chief executive, she would have started to curse long ago.

Ye Zhao frowned and said, "Isn't it just one cricket? I stepped on it to death. I will explain this to the chief executive. Is it okay?"

The maid was stunned. When she saw a guard coming to Ye Zhao, she seemed to know him and frowned at him. The maid was shocked. It seemed that this man was really the person around the chief executive. Although the chief executive was the younger brother of the chief executive, the chief executive did not seem to like him very much. He really fought for him, for fear of losing.

"Hmph, you'd better have an explanation!" The maid threw down the rattan and went with everyone arrogantly.

Ye Zhao didn't know what it felt like, and he thought that his mansion was different from other places. But now thinking about it, this huge royal mansion with hundreds or thousands of people is actually a small society, and his life is just a sweet and bitter person, but he just can't see it.

This is really not aware of the true face of Mount Lu, because it is in this mountain.

"Brother, thank you." Hua Ji lowered her head timidly and thanked.

Ye Zhao waved his hand.

"Ah, your hand." Hua Ji grabbed Ye Zhao's hand anxiously, with tender skin and tender flesh, and several faint blood marks were cut by the rattan.

"It's okay." Ye Zhao smiled, knowing that he was recovering very quickly.

"I'm bleeding and I'm still saying it's okay." Hua Ji said hurriedly: "Come on, come with me. There is a medicine for injury in my room, so it's easy to use."

Ye Zhao was funny and wanted to refuse, but when he saw the request in Hua Ji's eyes and the blood at the corner of his mouth, Ye Zhao nodded when he thought about it. It would be good, so he went to see what kind of dirt is hidden in this mansion.

He winked at the guards, followed Hua Ji to the east side courtyard, and asked as he walked, how did the matter be? How did the singer and dance class catch crickets?

Hua Ji talked about the maid who beat someone, Xiaoqing, who was the manager of the laundry room. She had a good relationship with the younger brother of the chief executive, Mr. Chang Ba, and borrowed Mr. Chang Ba from Chang to play with him. However, she accidentally ran out and this happened just now.

As for how she came to the laundry room, she was vague. However, Ye Zhao could guess it vaguely.

"Brother, wait, wait a moment." Hua Ji said timidly when she arrived at the gate of the Yue Cave in a yard on the east side.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, knowing that it must be the residence of the laundry maid, a large shop, and a yard that can accommodate dozens of people.

Ye Zhao was waiting on a stone bench under a green camphor tree. After a while, Hua Ji's small figure flashed out again, holding white gauze and a small blue flower porcelain pot.

Hua Ji sat down next to Ye Zhao, pulled open the red plug of the small porcelain pot, and popped out white medicine powder and sprinkled it carefully on Ye Zhao's palm. When Ye Zhao saw it, he smiled: "Is Baiyao in Yunnan?"

Hua Ji said in confusion: "I, I don't know." Seeing that she is so timid and so cautious to everyone, Ye Zhao couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Brother, thank you." Hua Ji whispered to thank you while helping Ye Zhao bandage him.

Ye Zhao said helplessly: "I stepped on the cricket to death, but you are kind-hearted. Help me push the tank. You should stop taking care of me. You have to deal with your injuries..." Looking at the bloodstains on the corner of the beautiful little face that he carefully bandaged, Ye Zhao pointed with his finger.

Hua Ji was confused. Ye Zhao had no choice but to stretch out his hand and gently wiped away the blood marks on the corner of her mouth. Hua Ji's face was extremely smooth, as if it could drip out of water. Although it was just a touch, it couldn't help but make people feel irritated.

Hua Ji's face turned red, but she was a remote mountain tribe after all, and she didn't know that the Central Plains was in trouble. Although she felt it was inappropriate, she didn't take it seriously. Moreover, this was the first time in this world that someone was injured for her. She was full of gratitude to this bearded brother.

"Do they often hit you like this?" Ye Zhao asked with a frown.

Hua Ji's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head and whispered: "Hua Ji is thick-handed and thick-legged, and she can't do anything well." Obviously, she didn't think there was anything wrong with others beating her, but instead felt that she was stupid and even a little ashamed.

Ye Zhao shook his head, "You have a specialty in your skills. You dance well, but your skill in squeezing and washing may not be better."

Hua Ji looked up in surprise: "How did you know that Hua Ji is from the singing and dancing genre, and you also know that Hua Ji Wu is good at dancing?" Obviously, this question has been kept in my heart for a while.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Don't you know that you are quite famous? Everyone says you are the best in the world to dance."

Hua Ji's eyes lit up and she said, "Is that so? No one has ever told me that I love dancing, but I don't dance well, otherwise..." Her eyes gradually dimmed again, she lowered her head, obviously a little sad. It seemed that she remembered the incident of offering dance to the prince.

Ye Zhao sighed in his heart when he saw her expression. Every move and even a sentence he didn't care about determined how many people's honors and disgraces were determined? This was unimaginable in his previous life. Let's just talk about Hua Ji. If he hadn't bumped into her today, he would have suffered so much just because he didn't watch her dance.

When Ye Zhao accidentally saw the bruises on Hua Ji Xuebai's wrist, he felt even more guilty. He was so dazzling with a shiny golden ring. After thinking about it, Ye Zhao said, "Don't be too sad. Gold can shine in the end, and eagles will soar. Your dance is indeed beautiful, and some people won't appreciate it!"

Hua Ji nodded gently and whispered: "Hua Ji knows that you are encouraging Hua Ji. You, you are the second good person I have met, the first one is Ruyi Sister, but she is no longer here."

Ye Zhao even scratched his head a little, saying that he was right, and no one would bully her like this, so this was all over his head.

"Hua Ji, in short, you have to think about happy things every day. Do you still have family?"

Hua Ji nodded slightly.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "That's right, think about them more, maybe one day I will see them. If you live for a lifetime, your heart will be miserable and miserable. If you are happy, you will be happy."

"Yes." Hua Ji nodded again.

Ye Zhao said: "Don't just know your little head. I think you are really unhappy. Do you miss your family?"

After a long time, Hua Ji finally whispered: "I, I miss my grandma." The tears finally couldn't stop falling.

Ye Zhao was silent. Jin Feng bought her as if she was buying goods. But when she first saw her, she treated her as an item? But she had long forgotten that she was a living person.

Silently handed over the handkerchief and stuffed it into Hua Ji's hand.

Hua Ji wiped her tears gently and sobbed.

Ye Zhao took out a cigarette and lit one. After being in a time of age, his thoughts were also changing subtly, and his heart became harder and harder. Thinking about himself when he was just reborn, he was afraid that he was already two people.

"Ah." Hua Ji noticed that her bearded brother's handkerchief was wrinkled by her tears, and she stuttered in a low voice: "I, I'll wash it and send it to you."

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "No need, I'll give it to you."

Hua Ji's heart was just a beat.

"Take it out when I want to cry in the future. Think about what I said today. I hope I am in the world. Do you understand?"
