Chapter 23 Big Louzi (1)

Chapter 23 Daluo (Part 1)

Chen Ada came with his wife Wang. After a few words, Chen Ada said: "If Mr. Ye is interested in Ruyi, the letter of contract cannot be accepted, and he just wants the son to pity Ruyi." He thought that Ye Zhao sent the oil mill back to him because he liked Ruyi and was about to accept Ruyi. But before he even passed by the old Chen family, he took such a big advantage. How could Ruyi be looked down upon?

Wang was so angry that he kept glaring at Chen Ada, but there was nothing he could do.

He picked up the colorful little bell and took a sip of tea. Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Chen, don't misunderstand this matter. It's all my wife's idea. The oil mill is handed over to Brother Chen. If Brother Chen is uneasy, you might as well manage it slowly and return the money."

In fact, according to Chen Ada's intention, he was planning to take the silver from the oil shop and return it to others, but the silver was in the hands of Wang, so he would never let go even if he died.

Chen Ada could only keep shook his head: "Young Master Ye, then I can't accept it. I haven't heard that the master is so proud of the girl. I'm afraid that Ruyi will not be able to bear it." But the truth is that they are all from country people, so how can there be any good things about a pie falling from the sky? If you force yourself to change your life, you will be afraid of losing your life.

Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and smiled: "Brother Chen, my girl from the Ye family is not as blessed as you said. I don't like to hear what you said."

Chen Ah was dazed, and Wang said hurriedly: "No, after following Mr. Ye, Ruyi would be very lucky. How could he say that he had no blessings?" He also complained to Chen Ah and said: "Young Master asks you to take it away, it will be annoying to the young master!"

Ye Zhao chuckled: "Sister Chen said this, brother, I've left the oil mill to you. I don't want to change the brand of Wangjia Oil mill, but your name is clearly written on the contract book. As for the font size, it's better to be a time-honored brand." It was clear that Chen Ada would be the owner of the oil mill in the future.

Ye Zhao called "Sao Chen" this time, but Wang didn't feel disgusted. As for the oil mill changing its owner, it was a waste of time anyway, so what's wrong with who the owner is?

"Just do it like that? Brother Chen, Mr. Chen, I have something to do." Ye Zhao brought tea to see him off.

Chen Ada and Wang were not willing to say anything more, so they quickly stood up and said goodbye.

The new army that went to encircle and suppress pirates had an accident and was detained by the British on Hong Kong Island.

When Pegasus reported to the Dutong Yamen, Ye Zhaozheng and Gang'an planned to discuss the training of the remaining half of the new army and the rotation time for encirclement and suppression of pirates.

The school, who was released by the British, brought a handwritten letter from Hong Kong Governor Bao Ling, who severely condemned the brutal acts of the Qing army officers and soldiers in beating the first mate of the "Seaou" and the bad behavior of taking sailors as hostages, and demanded that the Minister of Trade in the Five Ports of the Qing Dynasty go to Hong Kong Island to deal with the crisis immediately.

Looking at Xin Ye Zhao's brows, he frowned and turned to ask the school: "What the hell is going on?"

The first time the school was standing next to the head of the governor was so close, with red faces and stuttering, without a head or tail, and could not tell for a long time. He just said that he didn't know what was going on, and the three ships he requisitioned turned around and returned to the dock, and the British army was waiting for the battle at the dock. The new army soldiers on the sailing ship where the school was located were disarmed, and the soldiers on the other two ships were still fighting against the British.

"Sir, this military training is all about Gang'an's own decision. Please punish me!" Gang'an stood up suddenly and knelt down on one knee to apologize.

Ye Zhao smiled bitterly, understanding his thoughts, this disaster was really great. He was already taking a tightrope with the recruitment of foreign ships to train the new army. If such a big mistake was made, the court blamed him for fear that his black veil would be taken away immediately. Gang An, he was going to take the blame for him.

Unfortunately, he can't take the blame.

As he pondered, Ye Zhao didn't speak for a long time, and he could only hear the sound of the self-tone bell ticking in the hall.

"It seems that I'm going to go to Hong Kong Island." Ye Zhao shook the folding fan, as if he was talking to himself.

"Sir, no!" As soon as Anke became anxious, "Sir, no!" No, it was a huge disaster, but the vice president of Guangzhou actually rushed to the Yiren Island again, which was really adding fuel to the fire. Guangzhou City has always been undercurrents. Let's talk about the rich general. Although the flag has stopped recently, it would be strange if he did not take the opportunity to kill the president.

"No need to say much, I have my own opinions." Ye Zhao clapped his hands, "Come here, prepare a sedan chair and go to the Governor's Mansion!"

Gang'an sighed softly. Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, was the most stubborn about foreign affairs. It was already a miracle that he would not be able to help him.

"Master General is preparing to go to Hong Kong Island?" Ye Mingchen suddenly heard that the new army was detained by the British in Hong Kong, which was like a bolt from the blue. His face was quite bad. When he heard that Ye Zhao was going to Hong Kong Island, his brows frowned even more.

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "If you don't go to Hong Kong, the barbarians will take the opportunity to cause trouble. If they cause a huge disaster, I will be the sinner of the Qing Dynasty."

"Let's make a long-term plan!" Ye Mingchen picked up the teacup, put it down, frowned and said, "Although you are eager to practice military affairs, you can't blame you for this matter. I will submit a memorial to the governor to clarify."

Ye Zhao smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not for the future. The new army's affairs are the beginning of my reform in the past hundred years of Qing Dynasty. Brother Ye, tell you the truth, it doesn't matter whether my black veil can be kept, but if the new army is dead due to my urgent need and the imperial court's reform and elimination of evil will be abolished, I am really unwilling to accept it, and I am even more afraid that the future generations will be infamous."

Ye Mingchen said silently. Ye Zhao was so proud of his job as the new army. I wonder if he didn't agree with it.

Ye Zhao said again: "I must be going to Hong Kong Island. I have no complaints about how to write Brother Ye's memorial. I just asked Brother Ye to show some mercy and urge the court to retain the new army."

Ye Mingchen didn't expect Ye Zhao to be so straightforward. He sighed and said, "Why do you have to deal with the foreigners? Just start a new army and buy his firearms. Why bother to get involved with the foreigners and to wipe out pirates? If you cause trouble, there will always be remedies, but why do you insist on going to Hong Kong? The foreigners are cunning, who knows what their ideas are? Jing Ge'er, you have a good understanding and quick thinking, and you will be a pillar of the court in the future, but why do you always put yourself in the whirlpool? Little do you know that this is a disaster?" Seeing that Ye Zhao is unable to protect himself, he felt sorry and regretful, and he couldn't help but reveal his thoughts.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I understand what Brother Ye said, but if there is no first official who is willing to get entangled with the foreigners and deal with the foreigners, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will always be behind the foreigners. So what if Guangzhou is closed? The foreigners will one day rely on the benefits of giant cannons to blast open the city gate of Guangzhou. So what if Brother Ye is closed to the foreigners? I am afraid that he will become a prisoner under the ranks of the foreigners that day!"

"Pa" Ye Mingchen slapped the table, his face dark and terrifying, "What kind of bastard are you talking about? You can bully people too much! Just by your words, I can slim your chin and you're ignoring the crime of insulting the country and body!"

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, "That's up to Brother Ye, my heartfelt words, please think about it three times." He said, "I'm going to Hong Kong now. Brother Ye wants to twitch the chin, and I have no complaints!"

After saying that, he turned around and strode out.

Looking at Ye Zhao's back, Ye Mingchen's face turned pale and he didn't move for a long time.

"Isn't you really going to Hong Kong with me?"

The warm cabinet is magnificent. Rong'er is helping Ye Zhao pack up the "gifts", but it is a suitcase commonly used by foreigners. Rong'er puts her husband's clothes and toiletries in, including her toothbrush powder she used for her habits.

Seeing the little guy seriously as a good wife and mother, Ye Zhao couldn't help but feel funny.

"My husband is on a tomb-door business and is a barbarian land, how can he take Rong'er with him?" Ye Zhao's young and tender appearance was so cute in Ye Zhao's eyes.

"What's wrong with the tolerance? Is the law of the Qing Dynasty responsible for us? Don't forget, I am the prince, and you are the girl of the Matchmaker whom the emperor loves!"

The little guy pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking that his husband was too inappropriate.

Ye Zhao pointed to the photo frame on the table, which contained a photo of him and Rong'er, and said, "Put this in, I miss you and take it out and see."

Rong'er was so sad that her husband's "foreign painting" was a prank. He deliberately stepped on stilts and his size reached his waist, as if he was really a child.

Just put it in the dormitory and watch it and play, but if you take it out, you will be seen. Wouldn’t you really become a child?

"Forget it, let's take a good photo of it another day, each one, and carry it with you in close proximity."

Rong'er hurriedly pointed her little head hard.

Ye Zhao looked at her and suddenly sighed softly, saying, "Rong'er, tell me, will my trip to Hong Kong be smooth?"

Ye Zhao seemed relaxed, but in fact, the Hong Kong Island crisis was the most difficult moment he had encountered since his rebirth. His future was extremely dangerous. What would happen to officials from Ye Mingchen, Fuliang to Guangdong? What did the military giants, censors and even Emperor Xianfeng think? Ye Zhao had no idea. If this matter is not handled properly, the imperial edict from the capital would withdraw his own fault.

And I was under tremendous pressure, but the only ones who could talk around me seemed to be left with this little girl.

Rong'er, the smart little guy, seemed to see that his husband was in a bad mood. He walked over and gently pulled Ye Zhao's hand, and said softly with a childish voice: "Yes, no matter what your husband does, he will turn bad luck into good luck."

Ye Zhao laughed and said, "Is there so much confidence in me?"

Rong'er nodded vigorously.

Ye Zhao immediately smiled and said, "Then why do you still write a letter to your sister? I won't be mentioned in the letter, right?"

This morning, Rong'er wrote two letters to her family, one of which was written to her sister Yipin, and asked her family to find a way to pass the letter into the palace as soon as possible. Of course, what is more important is to keep it confidential. This letter would rather not be in the hands of her sister than to be seen by others.

Seeing that Ye Zhao actually knew about this, Rong'er was a little panicked. She looked down at her toes and whispered, "That's it, it's just a common word." She was afraid that her husband would be angry and blamed herself for taking action. But after she learned about her husband's current situation from Jixiang, she was really worried, but she couldn't help, so she could only write a letter to her sister for help.

"Oh, you silly girl!" Ye Zhao felt soft in her heart when she saw her pitiful appearance, "What are you afraid of? I know you care about me, so I am not so domineering."

Ye Zhao said, patted her little head and smiled, "Let's go! Go back and buy you new clothes from Hong Kong."

Rong'er knew that it must be those strange clothes, but for the first time he agreed, "If my husband buys it, Rong'er will wear it." It was to openly think about her.

Ye Zhao laughed: "You said that children are only responsible for the debt!" This is Rong'er's fatal point, and she tried every time. Seeing Ronger nodded, she smiled and left the house.

Chang Shun was waiting outside. Chang Shun was in his early twenties, tall and thin, smart, and also brought the romance from Beijing. Ruisi often appeared in the Taihe and collected various information. Naturally, it was difficult to follow Ye Zhao often, and he also faded out of the position of governor of the General Administration. The new manager was Chang Shun.

Chang Shun also served Ye Zhao since childhood. His wife and wife were all married to Ye Zhao, so he was loyal to his master.

"Shunzi, are you afraid to deal with foreigners when you go to Hong Kong?" Ye Zhao looked at him with a smile.

Chang Shun stood up with his hands down: "I am afraid of me, but for my master, I am not afraid of me."
