The so-called interesting thing is not to find some women, but to find a few bamboo strips of husbands to talk and drink. It turns out that in the romantic scene, there are such a group of bamboo strips of husbands who can distinguish their appearance and speak well, and are specially designed to help rich and powerful men to make fun of them. In addition to eating "edged" every day, they can sometimes make some money. If they are lucky, a wealthy businessman wants to buy industries and buy antiques. These people go around and talk about it. The cost of a lot of money is enough to water it in a year.

However, the best thing is to encounter rich people in the countryside who are just a little confused about the flowers and are confused about the scenery. They set up a fraud and cause people to lose their money. These people may not be able to go, but they will come immediately after they are called. They are gorgeous in their clothes and words, and the etiquette is no problem. How many of them are old and regular customers who arrive at the first pass.

Yi? Although he is young, he is not good at this kind of tune, but he can't stand Bao? Liu Jie, Hu Linyi and others are joking and finally got into the table. The atmosphere is also very harmonious while drinking and chatting.

"Who does Mr. Bao want to greet?" The surname Xiang next to Bao, known as Xiao Xiang, gave birth to a round face, which was very pleasing. He poured wine for Bao and asked in a low voice.

"This is the first time I've been to Guidi, but what's the best?"

"Okay, I'll recommend you." Xiaoxiang is the kind of guy who presses his shoulders and moves all over his body. But when he first met, he already knew that he was a treasure. He was a good person who was "shui and land". He laughed and ordered that he had taken paper and pen to write a ticket. He said while writing: "There is a Li Xiaobao who is very smart and will definitely catch your old eyes."

“Okay.”

Liu Jie and Hu Linyi are both familiar guests. Without waiting for Xiao Xiang to ask, they will choose familiar ones. It would be fine if Gui Liang, but Li Tangjie doesn't like it very much, but he doesn't want to say much. In such an occasion, he can only keep himself clean.

After waiting, Bao? Seeing Yi, he still looked sad and advised him: "Your Majesty doesn't have to do this. As I think, the emperor has not practiced martial arts in the Qing Dynasty and his soldiers are not satisfied. I am afraid he has already realized it."

"How do you say this?"

"Last year, the emperor was about the British entering the city. There was a sage edict: 'Even if he had any problems, he just pointed to the military preparations. Isn't it a hundred times stronger than my Qing soldiers' bravery?" Seeing that everyone's attention attracted his words, Bao? He smiled and said: "It can be seen that although the emperor is not at the ninth level, he knows the whole world. Hey! I'm afraid he is not inferior to Zhuge Wuhou who is planning to plan!"

"You mean, the Emperor knows..."

"As long as the prince submits a memorial, the emperor should give some instructions. At that time, will he be fully informed?"

"The memorial is about this?" Yi frowned and heard Bao continue, "Emperor," his eyes turned left and right, lowering his voice: "The Emperor is just using the prince's eyes and the prince's treasure to do things."

"Ah!" Yi? Suddenly, he realized: "I understand." As he said that, he stood up and bowed to everyone: "Please sit for a while, I'll go."

The official meeting with the British was on the day after the letter was submitted to Beijing. The group led by Lord Ald Birmingham, the British Minister's Special Envoy, landed on a small boat. Liu Jie and Hu Linyi, who had been waiting at the dock, brought their fellow speakers to greet him. One side bowed and the other side bowed: "Welcome, Your Excellency, the Special Envoy from Great Britain."

"Please allow me to express my sincere thanks to you and your escort." After listening to the translation's explanation, Birmingham said aloud: "It is a great honor to be able to embark on this ancient and fertile land."

"We Chinese have an old saying, "It's not a good thing to say if you have friends from afar." Liu Jie smiled and made full etiquette, and replied: "For friends from faraway places, our country of China has always treated each other with etiquette."

"So, dear Chinese friends, where are we going next?"

"When returning to Tianjin Prefecture City, the special envoy sent by the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty and his prince of our country are waiting to receive envoys from your country in Tianjin Prefecture City."

"Gentlemen?" Birmingham smiled back, "Let's go?"

The two sides bowed and said goodbye, Liu Jie and Hu Linyi got into the official sedan chair, while the British arranged for them to take a carriage in the back-shift of Blue, set off from Tanggu Pier, and headed towards the city in a mighty manner.

It was already noon in the city, and the Chinese side first arranged for a rest in Guanshi, not far from the Tianjin Prefecture Yamen. Someone had already prepared lunch for the guests, so there was no need to say in detail.

Liu Jie, Hu Linyi and Birmingham bowed and returned to the yamen to Xiang Yi. Reply: "Have you arranged for the British to live?"

"Yes! According to the itinerary of the British envoy to Tianjin, we will temporarily arrange for the other party to take a day off this afternoon, and we will formally discuss it in the yamen early tomorrow morning."

When they met the British, they set off firecrackers in front of the gate of the Tianjin Prefecture Road. Amid the sound of roaring salutes, Birmingham, Wenhan, Alitu, Maihuatu and others bent over from the official sedan chair specially prepared by the Chinese side. Naturally, they whispered from the people around them: "What's going on? Who are these foreigners?"

"Don't know? Look at their appearance, how funny? What's the one in their hands?"

"It's not a crutch, is it?"

"Don't talk nonsense! They look very young, what crutches?"

The noise of Tianjin dialect is all in my ears. Even southerners like Li Hongzhang don’t understand it very much, let alone messengers from distant foreign countries. After the salute was set off, the envoys of both sides stepped forward a few steps: “Lord Manchester Birmingham, the Special Envoy of Foreign Minister of the British Empire, Lord Ald Manchester Birmingham, was appointed as the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, and on behalf of the British Empire’s Foreign Minister, Prime Minister Henry, and His Majesty Queen Victoria I, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”

This time when China arrived in Tianjin, it also brought its own translation. It was a member of the Concierge Department of the Lifan Academy. His surname was Sun, his name was Yiwen and his courtesy name was Zhongyu. Sun Yiwen lived in Hong Kong and Macau with his father and brother since childhood. He learned a very fluent foreign language. However, he grew up in the south and spoke very strongly, which sounded quite puzzling.

When his translation was over, Yi? nodded and stepped forward to bow to Birmingham: "I am very grateful to your special envoy for the greetings from the Queen of England. On behalf of my Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, I welcome the arrival of your special envoy."

Birmingham knew Yi? He was the younger brother of the Chinese emperor and the prince of a country. He was a few levels higher than his own lord. He did not dare to be rude and bowed respectfully: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince."

"So, Mr. Special Envoy, please come in."

"Please, Your Highness."
