At afternoon tea time, at Ningxiang Xiaozhu, at the request of the ladies, I will start the second half of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs today.
The first half was spoken a year ago. Halfway through, I went off to fight.
This story is a favorite subject of women. The content is all gossip that women are interested in.
What about stepmothers, mistreating stepdaughters, princesses in distress, adventures, princes, love, etc. They are all scenes that can get them to enjoy themselves.
At this time, Mr. Yang transformed into a storyteller, sitting cross-legged. Xiao Niangpi served tea, Lin Yueru fanned, and Mei Xiang pinched her shoulders. She started the second half of the lecture in a beautiful mood.
I heard that the master was telling a story that had been suspended for a year, and all the ladies in the back house came to listen. If it weren't for being too busy with work, Chen Xi would probably come too.
Yang Fan went to war and hadn't told them a bedtime story for a long time. This time he couldn't miss it.
Yang Fan had just finished telling the finale and was taking some tea to moisten his throat when Chunxiang came in holding a greeting card.
"Master, master, when are you going to talk about the "The Story of the Stone" you talked about last time?" Xiao Niangpi seemed to still have something to say, shaking Yang Fan's arm and saying coquettishly.
"Master, master, last year you mentioned a novel called "Zhu Xian", when will you tell it?" Lin Yueru also said coquettishly.
When Yang Fan was bragging to his wives before, he spilled the beans, but his wives remembered him.
At this time, the maids brought yogurt. Aunt Mei gave a bowl to the master and his wife. Then she gave a bowl to each of the ladies present.
Strawberry flavored, mango flavored, passion fruit flavored yogurt is paired with smoothie, and there is a big bright red cherry on the pointed top of the bowl. It looks really good, and I want to eat it very much.
Some of the fruits in the Yang Mansion were brought by the way during transportation. There are no big cherries this season, only in spring.
In the gardens of Yang Mansion in the imperial capital and Yang Mansion in Xincheng, some tree species that were only found in later generations were planted.
Many of the fruits of the Yang family were not available in this era. And now with clipper ships and steam power, many fruits from Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian can be transported.
It can be said that the Yang Mansion has achieved fruit freedom, and new fruits are delivered every solar term.
Ladies like to eat fruits and vegetables, which are beautiful, nutritious, and can also help lose weight. Because of the high speed of the flying boat, many vegetables that are only available in the south are available in Xinghe Supermarket. Even in winter, all kinds of vegetables are available.
This is also the reason why Yang Fan can take out money from the pockets of nobles, clans, civil servants, gentry, and businessmen. Once you enjoy a luxurious life, it is like taking a drug and you cannot stop.
In Xinghe Supermarket and newly opened department stores, you can buy everything, but the price is not cheap. Nowadays, rich people in Beijing understand the truth. There are many good things, it depends on whether you can afford the price.
.
Yang Fan saw Chunxiang coming in with a big name and a greeting card, and waved her over.
Seeing that something happened to the master, all the girls were disappointed.
They dispersed in a hurry with their little mouths pouting, and everyone went about their own business.
Yang Fan took it and took a look, and was a little stunned. Xiao Niangpi poked her head from the side and saw the three characters Liu Hongxun written on the tattoo.
Xiao Niangpi frowned and said: "Didn't Mr. Liu Ge get fucked to death by His Majesty and go home to eat old corn? Why did he come to visit the master? When did he return to Beijing?"
Lin Yueru said: "I just received the news that Mr. Liu Ge has been appointed again. The chief envoy of Suiyuan, together with the governor Zhang Wudian, will work with him."
The young lady smiled and said, "Mr. Liu Ge is here to pay his respects to the dock."
Yang Fan nodded and said: "In that case, from now on I will meet my colleagues, Yu Qing Yu Li. Let's arrange it at the Spring and Autumn Pavilion on the east side of the garden, next to the water. I will change my clothes and go there."
Ten minutes later, Yang Fan arrived at Chunqiu Pavilion and saw Liu Hongxun with his hands behind his back, admiring the beautiful scenery of Houhai.
This is autumn, the best season of the year in the imperial capital.
It is close to the water here. Outside the pavilion, a patch of lotus flowers are blooming in full red. Even though it is September and the peak flowering period in August has passed, it is still brilliant.
Hearing Yang Fan's footsteps, Liu Hongxun admired: "Uncle Dingyuan is so elegant and generous. This garden is really made of lotus leaves and skirts, with hibiscus blooming on both sides of the face. It's no use looking at each other to hurt Chi Mu, there is nothing like a pond."
Kind of quiet."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "This piece of land is irregular and difficult to plan. Fortunately, there is this half acre of hibiscus. After being piled up many times, it is still attractive to everyone."
The two laughed and sat down. Yang Fan asked the maid to bring the tea set, and Yang Fan cooked water and made tea himself.
The two of them drank tea and chatted.
"I'm ashamed to say it, but today I went to Uncle Dingyuan for help." Liu Hongxun said with some shame.
Yang Fan knew what Liu Hongxun meant, and it seemed that he was going to use it this time. In fact, the matter in His Majesty's heart was not over yet, and he planned to torment him.
"Why are you so stubborn in the middle hall? If you give in to His Majesty as soon as possible, this matter may be over." Yang Fan said.
Liu Hongxun smiled bitterly and said: "If I could give in to this matter, I would have given in at the beginning. Now if I give in again, I will become a different person inside and outside."
Yang Fan was silent for a moment, and when he thought about it, this was indeed the truth.
At the beginning, Liu Hongxun took refuge in Xungui. Although he was miserably punished by Chongzhen, he was still stubborn.
If he surrenders to the emperor again at this time, the previous sins will be in vain. The nobles will also look down on him. It is better to simply fight to the end.
There is no one who does not want to give strong support, otherwise we will not be able to sit still.
Maybe it will become a piece of paper and become old.
It's just that Liu Hongxun messed up and was caught by Chongzhen.
At that time, it was the most intense period of the struggle. Chongzhen was very sensitive, he was not safe himself, and his throne was not yet secure. At this time, people would not be too gentle in their actions.
Yang Fan and Liu Hongxun have never had any trouble. Since they came to Suiyuan to work together, Yang Fan can still work together as much as possible. Yang Fan is not someone who always looks for trouble.
"Don't worry in the middle hall. There's nothing wrong in Suiyuan. It's almost the same as retiring at home. There is almost no human habitation outside Guihua City. Slowly you will fade out of His Majesty's sight." Yang Fan was ready to give him reassurance. Here he comes.
Suiyuan, at least I won't embarrass him here.
Liu Hongxun shook his head and said: "What happened to me back then was not that simple. It's a long story. Your Majesty dragged me back into this vortex again because your Majesty was planning a new plan. This was to bring down Wei.
After becoming the Governor, Your Majesty will make a big move."
"I have become a joke now, and I don't care about others laughing at me anymore. Your Majesty asked me, a great bachelor, to be the Chief Envoy, and I will go too, allowing Your Majesty to vent his anger on you."
Yang Fan listened quietly, and he knew that Liu Hongxun came to see him today, and it was not that simple.
Regarding Chongzhen, Yang Fan had never looked down upon him.
He is particularly capable of tossing, he likes to play tricks, and he is very scheming and cruel.
His character is very similar to that of Chao Cuo, he is stern, upright, harsh, and cruel. But he is not as masculine and violent as Chao Cuo, and his methods are more feminine. He is timid and very suspicious.
Many contradictory personalities are mixed together. He lives a very awkward life and puts a lot of pressure on himself.
He doesn't miss old friendships. He never puts himself in other people's shoes and considers their difficulties. He always starts from his own standpoint and considers himself.
He is a ruthless type who has a falling out. Of course, he is also ruthless even if he doesn't fall out.
Yang Fan was interested to hear what Mr. Liu Ge would say.
