Chapter 77: Called Donkey House and Buxing

After receiving British officials who came to protest, the Regent's whole day of life in the yamen ended.

Among the foreign mercenaries of the Pacific Army, three British women were hanged for participating in the massacre of prisoners of war. Ye Zhao naturally took the protests of British officials as a result.

It is said that the British diplomats also took military officers to the hanging scene with an intention to obstruct the execution, but were lit by the bayonets of the fifteen-man Pingyuan Army riflemen. His murderous aura immediately made several British people despair.

The thing that Ye Zhao admired the most was the aura of the founding of the People's Republic of China. He bombarded the British ships in the Yangtze River. The county-level heavy cruisers with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons had to flee in a panic.

The Southern Dynasty now has a vaguely magnificent spirit in future generations, and Ye Zhao naturally comforted him. Of course, whether it is national policy, current political structure of the East and West, or future national strength, future generations are incomparable to the present. Ye Zhao also believes that the people of today can do better.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Zhao read the telegrams from Shanghai. The pace of negotiations in Shanghai was significantly accelerated. The telegrams in the morning said one thing, and the afternoon said another.

The peace talks between the north and the south can be said to be a fight every second. The north has the forced ones to do, and the south has the wishful thinking of the south, and they all want to reach a peace agreement as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Zou Kaizhi sent a message saying that the Southern Dynasties agreed to the proposal of Guiliang and Prince Zheng to return home, but it was linked to the war situation in Wuchang and Yuezhou. It said that the Southern Dynasties must ensure that they would not attack Wuchang and Yuezhou so that Prince Zheng could return home. Of course, the envoys of the Northern Kingdom naturally said that this was Prince Zheng's wish, and did not treat Prince Zheng as a hostage to negotiate, but instead criticized the despicable behavior of the Southern Dynasties in robbing Guiliang.

The northern countries in Susong area finally let go and asked the Southern Dynasty to withdraw the siege of Suzhou. The northern armed forces would evacuate Susong. In fact, it was a helpless move. Zhao Sanbao's corps had clearly shown that they would attack Suzhou camp. If they did not withdraw their troops, they would be afraid that the remaining Huai Army would lose all their remaining assets.

Although the North*** team accelerated the process of equipped rifles, the reinforcements were not strong enough to be strong south of the Yangtze River. Even if they wanted to start a war, they could not fly for a while, let alone Shi Dakai's bloody battle in Henan. Although his troops suffered heavy losses, they broke through the defense of Zhengzhou's military. If they did not step up their encirclement and suppression, they would definitely shock the capital.

Ye Zhao looked at the telegram and approved a few words. It was very simple. Wuchang and Yuezhou were not a negotiation condition, but the prince had to return south.

Ye Zhao's route back to the donkey meat restaurant was extremely hidden. He left by carriage from the back door of the academy and changed his carriage at a mansion in Nancheng. However, he left from the extremely remote back alley of the Linjia Mansion that was opened. The guards on Yilu were extremely alert. Unless they met a strong and powerful figure like the matchmaker, no one could find the trace of the Regent.

When he returned to the donkey meat restaurant, he was already an inconspicuous green horse carriage, and Ye Zhao also became a bearded brother.

But I didn't expect Zhu Sisi to come early. She was sitting in the donkey meat restaurant and enjoyed tea. She changed into a elegant and plain lake green silk jacket and pants, embroidered cloth shoes, silk is smooth, and her buttocks are beautiful. The new pair of small embroidered shoes, the toes are gently tapped on the floor tiles, which makes people laugh. The ancient shop with mottled green bricks in the carved paper window, the beautiful and beautiful little house jade, the pictures that can only be imagined in movies, TV and martial arts works, are now appearing in front of Ye Zhao, but they can't help but make Ye Zhao feel admiration.

He took out his pocket watch and took a look. It was only a little over six o'clock. Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Why, do you want to use donkey meat to dispose of me?" In fact, Ye Zhao couldn't stand the living creatures being slaughtered, especially the living creatures living with him. The one in the backyard of the donkey meat restaurant was called donkeys, but there was only one, and the donkey meat was bought from outside.

Zhu Sisi stood up and asked, "Do you eat turtle?"

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Whatever."

Zhu Sisi said, "Then come with me. I heard that there were a lot of delicious food in Nanjing before, but it is hard to find it now. It just so happened that the chef in the place where I live was a famous chef. Raw fried turtles are awesome in Nanjing. I bought a few turtles and asked him to make them. If you agree or not, you can make do with it. It is better than your donkey meat." As he said that, he couldn't help but smile: "It's called Donkey House. You can think of it, why did you live here?"

The voice is rare no longer so crisp and cold, but delicate and melty. It was the first time she smiled in front of Ye Zhao. It was not a sneer or a contemptuous smile, but a smile. A smile flew out from her cherry lips, causing sweet ripples to ripples throughout the delicate and soft pink face. It was infinitely beautiful, and Ye Zhao was stunned for a moment.

When Zhu Sisi saw Ye Zhao staring at her indiscriminately, her smile faded. She glared at Ye Zhao fiercely and said, "Let's go."

Ye Zhao walked out with Zhu Sisi, but looking at her soft waist and tempting curves of her soft buttocks twisting, her heart seemed to be scratched gently, and she was not in a position to put her back. She really wanted to hold her little figure in her arms and love her freely.

Zhu Sisi lives not far away, but it is a quiet small house. It was originally a wealthy family. She was slaughtered for secretly helping Qing Yao's family and her property was confiscated by the Taiping Army. Now she is temporarily requisitioned as the Xicheng Police Door. She enters the house twice, and all the people live in the police. She has female policemen in the backyard and male policemen in the frontyard.

There were not many female police officers coming to Nanjing, but it was difficult to find a place to settle the house. So they all followed the deputy bureau to live in the back house of this house. There were only a dozen people in total, and there were seven or eight main rooms in the backyard, which made them live in a wealthy place.

The green willows were shaded, and before entering the backyard, Zhu Sisi told Ye Zhao seriously that she would not be allowed to watch and move around, thinking that she was afraid of attracting wolves into the house. She was a pervert, and if she targeted her colleagues, it would be harmful to others.

Ye Zhao shook the folding fan and just said nothing. Zhu Sisi was so angry that she could not help but let her back down. She couldn't give up at this time.

However, after entering the yard, Zhu Sisi called the female policewoman. Yingying and Yanyan lined up in a row, which looked very beautiful. Zhu Sisi ordered them to go to the outer room to study the four-hour police case. The evening class for tomorrow's rest day was cancelled. The female policewoman said "yes", which was crisp and neat, and it sounded extremely comfortable.

This is completely different from the little maids in Ye Zhao's mansion. To be honest, Ye Zhao feels that the little maids in the mansion are not energetic, just like robots, these female policewomen are different, they are all living people.

The female policewoman is disciplined very strictly, and it seems that Zhu Sisi is quite prestigious. At most, they secretly glanced at Ye Zhao, lined up in line, took steps, and walked out of the Yuedong Gate under the guidance of the duty squad leader.

"I still see, I can't pull out my eyes, right?" Zhu Sisi looked at Ye Zhao helplessly.

Indeed, this female policewoman is not only different from the little maid, but also from the female soldiers in the Yulin Guard. The female soldiers are solemn and majestic and arrogant. The female policewomans are in a neat queue, but they have a unique style of oriole swallows, which reminds Ye Zhao of the style of female soldiers in later generations. Those female soldiers who have not experienced the baptism of the war are actually similar to the current female policewoman, and they are incomparable to the murderous aura of the female soldiers under his command.

Ye Zhao sighed in his heart, and he couldn't explain anything to Zhu Sisi. He shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "The fragrance in the yard is pouring in the real feeling, but after saying that, he knew that he was a pervert, right?

Zhu Sisi glared at him and said, "Come with me."

It is not strictly forbidden for men to enter and exit the house in the back house. There are only a few chefs in the kitchen, and there are both men and women. The wing next to the kitchen is a dining room. Zhu Sisi led Ye Zhao in. There were a few red sandalwood tables, more than a dozen wooden chairs, and carved potted flowers, which were neat and elegant.

It can be seen that the pots of flowers on the windowsill must have been placed by the policewomen themselves, and the girls' love of beauty has been the same in ancient and modern times.

After sitting down, Ye Zhao said: "Buy more turtles, it would be great if you all have a tooth-beating ceremony together? Or, I'll ask someone to buy it?" The two guards ran to the kitchen to help, but in fact they had their own surveillance. Although this is a police dormitory, there is no need to worry too much about safety, but there should be some precautions.

Zhu Sisi glared at Ye Zhao again: "Don't worry, I bought it, they all have a share tonight."

Ye Zhao rolled his eyes, shook the folding fan again, and was in front of Zhu Sisi, never having any manners.

The raw turtle is to remove bones from the turtle, stir-fry it with sesame oil, add a cup of autumn oil, and simmer it in a fresh and thick chicken sauce for an afternoon. It is so delicious.

Ye Zhao praised the food and said, "When the city is restored, I will try the delicious Nanjing food all over. Then I will take you with you. It is better to have fun and enjoy everyone than to have fun alone. It is really meaningless to eat and drink by yourself."

Zhu Sisi didn't appreciate it and said, "You'd better do your business. Have you found any way to come to Nanjing? Don't squander all the money you brought, and run back to be the eldest young master." Obviously, he thought Ye Zhao had taken the money from his family to Nanjing to do business.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I just have no way. Why don't you help me think about it? What kind of money do in Nanjing?"

Zhu Sisi said: "I don't understand this, but I know that Nanjing now makes money by trading. There are so many craftsmen who lack everything. You won't think about it yourself?"

Ye Zhao said: "You are in charge of so many business, can you give me some convenience?"

Zhu Sisi sneered: "Come on, you know I don't know what I can't do. You don't have the intention of doing business steadily, so don't tease people."

Ye Zhao laughed, picked up chopsticks and put them into his mouth.

Zhu Sisi asked, "Do you drink or not? I'll go to the front yard to help you buy some taels? There is a man named Zheng Laodao in the front yard. His winemakers and Daozi wine are all delicious."

Ye Zhao waved his hands repeatedly and said with a bitter face: "Forget it, how about the knife wine? The sun in the sky is used to put the knife wine. Is it fun to have some knife wine? The heart, liver, spleen and kidneys are roasted from the inside to the outside?

Zhu Sisi couldn't help laughing again. The pervert came to Nanjing City and wanted to live in a very embarrassing life. She saw that he was staying at the donkey house. After sitting for a while, he was titting out of the tinnitus in the courtyard. How could he bear it?

Ye Zhao sighed and said, "It was very hot this day, and it was inconvenient to take a bath. I felt so uncomfortable when I used a broken wooden basin."

Zhu Sisi blinked her big eyes and said, "I'll take you to see our bathroom later."

Ye Zhaoqi said: "What's the best thing?"

Zhu Sisi said, "You will know in a while."

After using lotus seed soup, Ye Zhao's meal was extremely comfortable. Then he went to the policewoman's bathroom with Zhu Sisi. Ye Zhao slapped his forehead suddenly and thought to himself, "Are you stupid?"

Although it was getting darker, you could also see the dark iron bucket on the roof of the bathroom renovated in this room. When you entered the bathroom, the fragrance was bursting. As expected, the hose was led down from the roof with a spray head on it.

I remember the "solar shower" that Ye Zhao asked the blacksmiths to trick out when he was in Beijing. However, at that time, he used metal pipes to divert water, and the nozzles were not as exquisite as they are today.

But Ye Zhao was used to living in the Lotus Building, and the boiler was hot and tap water, but he had long forgotten this simple shower, right? He could not keep it in heat and could only be used in the evening, otherwise the water could burn people to death. Ye Zhao had long forgotten this earthy shower, but he didn't know that this kind of iron bucket shower was gradually popular in Guangzhou.

"The hot water bucket is not expensive, why didn't you buy it and bring it?" Zhu Sisi asked.

Ye Zhao smiled bitterly, thinking that I invented it, but I just forgot about this.

Ye Zhao's transformation of the mansion was not in the capital. Now that the Southern Dynasty has a mechanical industry, how could he take this kind of ritual to heart?

But I really haven't taken a shower well. I don't have the same environmental atmosphere as the royal palace, and I don't have the kind of maid who knows how to add water at all times. It's really not very comfortable.

Without waiting for Ye Zhao to speak, Zhu Sisi knew what he was thinking and smiled and said, "It's not okay to take a bath here. I'll take you to a place."

Ye Zhao was stunned and felt that the city of Nanjing seemed to be upside down. Everything was not going well for him. This little girl became a local snake instead.

...

Zhu Sisi led Ye Zhao into a small alley and stood in front of a low brick wall courtyard with thatched grass. She knocked on the door. Soon there was footsteps in the courtyard. The person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his forties with a kind face. When he saw Zhu Sisi, he smiled and said, "Yeah, Miss Zhu, it's been a long time since I saw him."

Zhu Sisi called him Brother Wei and entered the courtyard with Ye Zhao. Similarly, there were simple courtyards and six or seven bungalows. Listening to Zhu Sisi talking to "Brother Wei", this was a backyard of cloth shops, and it was also developed into a hotel. Four or five families lived in the south, all from the south, either craftsmen or small businessmen.

Zhu Sisi led Ye Zhao to the bungalow on the east side. The key opened the door and lit the kerosene lamp. The house was large, with two inside and outside layouts. There was a spray head guided by the hose in the outer window, and a wooden board was used to create an independent bathroom.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "The environment is good."

Zhu Sisi said: "Well, this was rented by my brother and sister-in-law. I originally lived here, right next door. Now my brother and the work team have gone to Nancheng, and my sister-in-law has also gone with me. The house has expired in three days."

Ye Zhao smiled: "Is there still hot water?"

"They moved out yesterday, I think there are some." As he spoke, Zhu Sisi wanted to blow out the oil lamp. Ye Zhao said helplessly: "Please hold on, can't I give you kerosene? You, you have eaten all the turtles and put on silk, so you can save this little money." After saying that, he felt a little regretful.

Zhu Sisi didn't care and said, "You can only wear new clothes when you save some money. Are you not in Guangzhou? After calming down your hair, every household sets off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year. What promotions do the business do? Everyone makes new clothes to celebrate. I made silk clothes for my younger brothers and sisters and me. I feel so sad. I used all the money I saved over the years, but it's nothing. It's the first time I've worn this clothes."

Ye Zhao didn't know that the extermination of the Taiping Army made Guangzhou so lively. By the way, this was the first time Zhu Sisi wore silk clothes in her life. What he said was unpleasant. Fortunately, Zhu Sisi was open-minded, confident, open-minded, and saved money. She also did this with some money to make new clothes. She didn't care about the words that might hurt the self-esteem of the poor. Speaking of which, this is the real self-esteem. As for seafood, in fact, because of the limited transportation methods and the lack of refrigeration, the prices of fresh seafood such as turtles and crabs are very cheap in the place of origin and seasons, and there is no luxury jewelry.

"Let's light burn, I'll pay you for gas when I look back." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

Zhu Sisi said, "No need." Then she put down the kerosene lamp and said, "Not just the bathroom, the toilet outside has also been changed, leading to the trench, the slope of cement grinding, flushed with water, and cleaned." Ye Zhao also complained to her about the toilet.

Ye Zhao was stunned and thought to himself that the people of the Southern Kingdom have become more particular, but he forgot to use local materials to improve the living environment by making small fuss.

Thinking about it, Ye Zhao asked, "Do you say this house has expired in three days? Are your brother and sister-in-law not coming back to live?"

Zhu Sisi said, "Well, they went to Nancheng and were not back. I originally wanted to rent this room.

Ye Zhaoqi said: "What are you renting for?"

Zhu Sisi said: "The day after tomorrow, more than a dozen female professors came to Guangzhou and wanted to be placed in our place. I was afraid that the place would not be big enough. I didn't tell you, I lived here as soon as I came to Nanjing, right next door, so I rented it again, and when the female professors came, I would move out."

Ye Zhao yelled, and it turned out that the police dormitory had to be placed in another place. I thought these girls would sleep in the bed, and Zhu Sisi was the deputy director and would never arrange for someone to be with her. I thought she was giving up her dormitory with her with a noble character, so that the girls would not be able to live in enough and be too crowded.

Zhu Sisi said: "I originally wanted to rent this room. When my brother rented it, he spent half a silver dollar a month, but the boss insisted on taking me a cent of silver."

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "That's pretty good."

Zhu Sisi shook her head: "I heard from others that others asked him for the price. He wanted to rent a silver dollar a month, and it would take half a year to rent it."

Ye Zhao said, the monthly rent for that small cent of silver was not for free for Zhu Sisi. I don’t know if it was because the boss knew Zhu Sisi’s identity or because Zhu Sisi was beautiful. Now that there are more and more mobile people in Nanjing, the rent will only increase in the short term. But no matter whether it is half a silver dollar or a silver dollar, it is a great burden for Zhu Sisi.

But Brother Zhu Sisi really enjoys it. He said that the couple didn't give a penny of money to their family. Brother Zhu Sisi should be a simple person, and the one who likes to enjoy it is her sister-in-law.

Zhu Sisi said again: "So I rented the next door. If I take a shower, I will take a shower in the dormitory. I won't say it, take a shower." As he said that, he handed a bunch of keys to Ye Zhao and said: "Wash slowly and return the keys to me tomorrow."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, and realized that Zhu Sisi trusted her quite a bit.
