Chapter 55: Daughter-in-law

At the Xiyu Pavilion of Guangzhou Hotel, Ye Zhao met with Schneider, the Dutch Consul in Guangzhou.

The decoration of the Western Region Pavilion is more Western-style, but there is also a row of ox horn gauze lanterns hanging down. The red ears are hung with beautiful jade hanging under the ears, adding a bit of solemnity and royal style.

Schneider is in his forties and is extremely tall and fat. Standing there like a small mountain of meat, he feels extremely oppressive.

While tasting the tea, Schneider's green beard was flooding. "Prince, I can't understand your country's definition of overseas Chinese. Can you explain it carefully and in detail?"

Yesterday, the General's Mansion formally issued a note to all countries, acknowledging the dominance of overseas Chinese in various colonies in Southeast Asia, but hoped that all countries would treat overseas Chinese as equals their citizens. If overseas Chinese are treated unfairly, the Chinese government will take necessary measures to safeguard the rights and interests of overseas Chinese everywhere.

This is a formal official note from the Southern Government. It is not as simple as yelling in its own newspaper. One stone stirs up a thousand waves. Now Ye Zhao doesn't know the reactions of the ministers from various countries, but he thinks he is seriously studying the note from the Southern Government and studying the possible impact of its colonial policies in the South China Sea.

In fact, there are now two countries in the South Ocean, namely Britain and the Netherlands. However, Portugal, which occupys Macau, is probably very surprised. After all, most of the people living in Macau are Chinese.

In the note to the Netherlands, the Southern Dynasty government pointed out more clearly that it hoped that the Dutch colonial authorities would handle disputes with overseas Chinese communities in Borneo carefully, and the Southern Dynasty government also always acted as a mediator.

After hearing Schneider's question, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Consul, the supplementary documents sent to various countries today have a clear definition of overseas Chinese."

Schneider bit his pipe, stared at Ye Zhao with brown eyes, and said, "Prince, I deeply regret your country's statement on immigration, and it is difficult to understand. There is no legitimate reason for your country to interfere in the affairs of Borneo."

Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Consul, we will not interfere with any actions of your country in the South China Sea. We also ask your country to respect our country's trade rights in the South China Sea and respect the legitimate rights of overseas Chinese in the South China Sea."

Schneider knocked on the pipe, but for the first time, he felt a little weak when he knocked the pipe in front of the Chinese. He stared at Ye Zhao for a while and said, "Prince, I hope you can carefully consider your country's position in Nanyang. You should know that your statement will make many of your friends feel unhappy."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Consul, I know very well what I am doing."

This conversation was a bit dissatisfied. Ye Zhao did not want to create an aggressive image of a new regime, but some things must be done, not to mention protecting the expatriates, which seems to be a legitimate requirement in the Western world. Even if it hurts some people, it is not enough to care.

While saving the tea, I heard the sound of footsteps, and the fragrance was blowing. The woman's tender and soft voice: "Master, will I make a cup of coffee for you?" Turning back, he was the hotel manager. Guarja, wearing a tender green satin jacket and pants, had a watery and charming eyes, a fair and melon-shaped face, a slim figure, and her small waist twisted and twisted, which made her look more seductive. With the close-fitting green satin jacket and pants, she showed her charming and gentleness.

"No." Ye Zhao waved his hand with a smile, and said, "Sit down." He pointed to the wide sofa beside the coffee table.

Guarja smiled and said, "I dare not." She smiled and showed two dimples, a different style.

"If you ask you to sit, just sit. How can foreigners sit, why can't you sit?" Ye Zhao smiled and made a powerful gesture, saying, "Sit down."

"Then, I thank my master." Guarjia sat lightly on the milky white sofa, with embroidered shoes on the red carpet, as if he was a little uncomfortable, and he shrank back with restraint.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "You are a new management talent no matter how you say it is. The manager of our Guangzhou hotel should not be polite all day long. I have told you that you should not be humble or arrogant. You should do this to foreign devils and to nobles."

Guarjia smiled pursed his lips and said, "Master, both the slave and others can be neither humble nor arrogant, but the master is too heroic, and the slave dare not. When the slave talks to the master, his heart beats violently."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I think you are very brave."

Guarja's beautiful eyes were like waves, and she stretched out her white and tender little hand and pinched her index finger and gestured: "The slave is so brave, it's all in the master's majesty."

Ye Zhao laughed. Guarja might have such a personality, or he was a little bit flattering, but he was quite relaxed when talking to her.

"Are your father-in-law okay?" Ye Zhao asked, picking up the teacup and taking a sip.

Speaking of Mutern, Guarjah was busy and said, "Yes, she is still in good health. She planted flowers every day and was in a good mood."

"Just be in a good mood. I smile for ten years. If you are a favorite person, your father-in-law will be blessed." After Ye Zhao said this, he felt that his words were inappropriate. How could he say that his daughter-in-law and father-in-law were incompatible? Now, he feels awkward. If he talks to others, he will be afraid that he can suck his mouth.

But Guarjia didn't care and smiled again: "Master, I dare not talk to my father-in-law like this, otherwise my father-in-law would have to scold me. My master is generous and likes to talk to us who are not on the table. But my father-in-law is serious, and I dare not joke with him."

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded slightly.

Guarja's charming eyes rolled and asked, "Master, I heard that the master has given orders to various countries to protect our Qing people overseas?"

Ye Zhao said: "That's not an order, it's a note."

Guarja said: "I think it's almost the same, right? That's all."

Ye Zhaoxin said it was much worse, so it was hard to explain to her. She turned around and asked, "Do you think it's okay?"

"Of course." Guarjia exclaimed: "It's just that the master is so capable. The foreigners who are dealing with him are obedient and have to rely on their slaves. These foreigners are sent to Ningguta. The man is a coolie and the woman is a slave to the master."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Why are you so bitter and vengeful to the foreign devils?" In fact, knowing that Guarjia is also quite knowledgeable, he just said these words to make him happy.

As he spoke, he remembered Zhuangzi outside the pass. One of them had many Tsarist female slaves. The six kings of land had not yet been confiscated, and he had no time to take care of it. He didn't know what was going on now.

"It's not that the slave looks down on them. Master, tell me, their eyes are all kinds of colors, how scary it is? It makes people feel scary, like a ghost."

"Okay, it's time to leave!" Ye Zhao stood up with a smile. Guarjia stood up lightly and said, "I respectfully send you my master."

There are also a row of red gauze lanterns hanging in the corridor, emitting a faint soft light.

After walking for a few steps, Ye Zhao was slightly stunned, but saw a young old man wearing a green gauze robe walking in front of him. It was Muten, but his face was full of anger, and his eyes were like a squirting fire.

Guarjia, who was originally smiling and talking to Ye Zhao, quickly calmed down his smile and quickly met him.

Before Mutern could get close, he was stopped by two guards in dark blue uniforms. However, the guards did not recognize who he was. Mutern wanted to push the guard away in anger, but was pushed back a few steps and almost staggered and fell down.

The two slaves behind Mutern seemed to want to take action, but were stopped by Mutern with a dark face.

Guarja had already walked over quickly and asked his father-in-law for his father-in-law, and asked in surprise: "Ama, why are you here?" Mutern often scolded her, asking her not to show off. Although Guarja did not talk back, she would never listen to him. The two of them were in trouble at home, but after all, the old man was well-known and would not come here to make trouble.

Ye Zhao also came over at this time, frowned and said to the guard who pushed the old man away just now: "Don't you recognize General Mutern? Apologize quickly."

The guard hurriedly stepped forward to apologize. Muten waved his hand with a cold face. Although he was reluctant, he could only bow and say, "Prince!"

Ye Zhao waved his hand and said, "You chat." He would not participate in their family affairs, but after walking for a few steps, he heard Mutern's voice: "You did a good thing, Do you know that Doron was arrested by foreign devils?"

Ye Zhao was stunned and stopped.

Mutern said this to Guarja, and Guarja was also surprised and asked, "Ama, is he going to bet money with foreign devils?"

Mutteren suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "There is a foreign devil named Henry in the French Embassy. What's the relationship with you?"

Guarja said, "Ama, what do you mean? Heaven and earth are so conscience, and my daughter-in-law doesn't know Henry Harry!"

Mutern asked, "He said he had danced with you in the tavern, and he also said a lot of unpleasant words. After hearing this, Doron started to do something with him. The tavern was very close to the embassy of the foreign devils. In this case, the foreign devils came and arrested Doron and went to the embassy. Do you still say you don't know this foreign devil?"

Guarja said angrily: "Ama, it's okay for others to talk about it, why do you say that too?"

Mutteren said with a gentle expression, "No matter what, you can save the person first."

In the foreign embassy, ​​Muten asked about the old friends in Guangzhou, but he had no choice but to deal with foreigners, it must be the Zongli Yamen. But Muten himself does not know the people from the Zongli Yamen, and he is also very proud. In his eyes, officials of the Southern Dynasty are almost the same as enemies, so how can they come to ask for help?

After thinking about it, my daughter-in-law was in charge of the Guangzhou Hotel. There should be many foreigners who know each other, so I can only see what she can do.

Guarja was stunned when she heard Muten's words. She could speak and behave. Most foreigners liked her very much, but she had never made any foreign friends and had no relationships with her.

"Mr. Mourinho, I'll do this." Ye Zhao interrupted. Before Muten could speak, he smiled and said, "This is not because of your face. As long as the Qing people are arrested by foreigners and then they go to the embassy, ​​I have to take care of it, right?"

Muten's face then calmed down, thought for a while, and bowed, "Thank you, Prince." Looking at Ye Zhao, his eyes were a little complicated. Perhaps only he knew what he felt in his heart.
