Yang Fan is fine today and in a good mood.
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 theme among women. The content is all gossip that women are interested in.
What kind of stepmother is she, abusing her stepdaughter? Princess in distress, adventure, prince, love and so on. They are all scenes where you can get their pleasure.
At this time, Mr. Yang transformed into a storyteller and sat cross-legged. Xiao Niangpi served tea while Lin Yueru fanned herself. Mei Xiang squeezed her shoulders. I'm in a good mood to start the second half of the lecture.
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 he wasn't too busy at work, Chen Xi would probably come here.
Yang Fan went to war and hadn't told them a bedtime story for a long time. Don’t miss this time.
Yang Fan had just finished telling the finale and was holding 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 book called "Zhu Xian", when will you talk about 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 served a bowl to the master and his wife. Then he gave a bowl to each of the ladies present.
Strawberry-flavored, mango-flavored, and passion-fruit-flavoured yogurt are paired with smoothies, and there is a large bright red cherry on the pointed top of the bowl. It looks really good and I really want to eat it.
Some of the fruits in the Yang Mansion were brought by the way during the teleportation. 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 in the Yang family were not available in this era. And now there are clipper ships and steam power. Many fruits from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian can be shipped.
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 help lose weight. Because of the high speed of the clipper ship, 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's like sucking it up and you can't stop.
In Xinghe Supermarket and newly opened department stores, you can buy everything, but the prices are not cheap. Nowadays, the rich people in Beijing understand the truth that there are many good things, it just 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, feeling a little dazed. 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 little girl 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 we are colleagues, and we have to meet Yu Qing and Yuli. Let's arrange it at the Spring and Autumn Pavilion on the east side of the garden, next to the water. I'll change my clothes and go there."
Ten minutes later, Yang Fan came to 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 also close to the water. Outside the pavilion, a patch of lotus flowers are in full bloom. Even though it’s September
, the peak flowering period in August has passed. But it was still brilliant.
Hearing the sound of Yang Fan's footsteps, Liu Hongxun admired: "Uncle Dingyuan is so elegant and noble. This garden is really made of lotus leaves and skirts, with hibiscus blooming on both sides of the face. Looking at each other does not hurt the old age. There is nothing like a pond." Kind of quiet."
Yang Fan smiled and said: "This 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 drank tea and chatted.
"I'm ashamed to say that today I went to Uncle Dingyuan to ask for help." Liu Hongxun said with some shame.
Yang Fan knew Liu Hongxun's intention, and it seemed that he was using 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 be soft on this matter, I would have been soft on him at the beginning. Now if I am soft on him 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 tough-minded.
If you submit to the emperor again at this time, the previous sins will be in vain. Xun Gui also looked down upon him. It's better to just fight to the end.
There is no one who doesn’t help the elders, otherwise they won’t be able to sit still.
Maybe it will become a piece of paper and the three pavilions will be old.
It's just that Liu Hongxun messed up and it turned out. He was caught by Chongzhen.
At that time, it was the most intense period of the struggle. Chongzhen was very sensitive and insecure himself, and the throne was not yet secure. People don't act too gently at times like this.
Yang Fan and Liu Hongxun never had any holidays. Since they came to Suiyuan to work together, Yang Fan could still work together as much as possible. Yang Fan is not someone who just 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. When he comes to Suiyuan, at least he 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, letting Your Majesty vent his anger by humiliating me."
Yang Fan listened quietly, and he knew that Liu Hongxun came to 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 with power, and he is very scheming and cruel.
His character is very similar to Chao Cuo, strict, upright, harsh and cruel. But he is not as masculine and violent as Chao Cuo, and his methods are more feminine. I am still timid and very suspicious.
Many contradictory personalities are mixed together. He lived a very rough life. It puts a lot of pressure on myself.
He doesn't miss old feelings. I never stand in other people's shoes and consider their difficulties. He always starts from his own standpoint and thinks for himself.
Belongs to the ruthless type. Of course, he is ruthless even if he doesn't fall out.
Yang Fan was interested to hear what Mr. Liu Ge would say.
