Chapter 13 The Eagle and the Lady
Chapter 13: Hawks and Dogs and Women
"It's cold and cold in the main hall..." When You woke up, the sun was noon and couldn't help but say "Huh". I remember that the pervert had been tossing for a long time. Although he had long forgotten the time of his troubles, he felt that it was already afternoon when he fainted.
"What's strange? It's the next day!" Ye Zhao was dressed neatly and sat in front of the pineapple wooden table, with a beautiful jacket and a light green silk robe. He was full of energy and energetic.
The matchmaker's face turned red and she lowered her head, but she saw several sets of dresses on the head of the bed, including tuxedo, red skirt, and cheongsam, all of which were brand new.
"You have a break. I'll ask the kitchen to make breakfast. I don't know when you will wake up, and it will be tasteless if it gets hot." Ye Zhao stood up as he said, ready to go outside to give instructions.
"No," the matchmaker whispered, "Is there hot water? I'll take a shower and change my clothes."
"Yes, yes." Ye Zhao hurriedly ran out and asked the maids to heat water in the bathroom, while he lay on the rattan chair in the yard, closing his eyes to rest.
It's warm in winter, and the yard is not cold.
I haven't been to the Police Bureau for two days, and my efforts to get up early and go to bed late for more than ten days have been wasted. This monthly salary will definitely be gone. I will work hard next month and work hard next month.
I have never earned money in this world. Just talk about this salary. I always feel like it is in vain. It is far from the same feeling as if I can get money when I go to the police station to start work.
When you come to this world, you always have to earn a monthly salary by yourself. Even if it is just one, it will not be considered a waste of life.
With his eyes closed slightly, he felt as if he had a nap for a while. After footsteps sounded, Ye Zhao opened his eyes. The matchmaker stood beside him in a beautiful and heroic manner.
"Are you hungry? You don't like the food in the mansion, why don't we go out and have something?" Ye Zhao stood up quickly.
"Listen to you." The matchmaker said lightly.
Ye Zhao was stunned, "Listen to you"? The sun came out from the west. Since I met her, I have never heard of this. No wonder, after years of military career, the commander of thousands of brothers, everyone was alone in her, but they were used to making decisions.
Ye Zhao looked at the sky and said, "Then? Then go to Rongfuzhai. The place is small, but the noodles are delicious. You have been empty for a day, so it is not good to eat greasy food."
"Okay." The matchmaker nodded gently.
Ye Zhao wore a beard again after leaving the palace. After all, Guangzhou City is too big. What if he meets someone who has seen him close when he entered the city, he will not be confused?
When they were close, Ye Zhao did not use a carriage and horse, and went out with Su Hongniang. There were four casual guards following him in front, back, and left and right. The green cloth robes that all four wore were not very eye-catching.
Although the matchmaker didn't ask, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Be with me, don't even think about this heavy work of fighting and killing." Ye Zhao didn't forget the words the night before.
The matchmaker nodded slightly without saying a word.
It seems that after last night, the matchmaker changed a lot, and she would make fun of Ye Zhao even if she didn't laugh.
Ye Zhao felt very happy, and felt that he was becoming more and more accustomed to his husband, and the matchmaker became more and more maternal.
There are not many pedestrians on this long street, and they are adjacent to the Governor's Mansion, so there are no noisy shops, green walls and green tiles, and most of the wealthy families live in.
In this era, there were even more wealthy families, and they were really clearly distinguished from the slums. Not to mention anything else, it was reassuring that the security of the Governor's Office was close to the Governor's Office, especially in the era of military service, the area around the Governor's Office was naturally a key section of the road for patrols of the city.
After passing the intersection, it immediately became lively. There were bustling shop signs and many pedestrians. Two black uniformed policemen striding with their heads, one of them was a policewoman. But despite this, the matchmaker's top hat was extremely low, but it was still the most eye-catching person. The white clothes were as white as snow, and the invisible temperament was eye-catching.
When passing a Jinsheng Inn with a golden painted signature, Su Maoniang stopped and said, "My people are here, the matchmaker will not let them worry."
But he didn't want the rebels to live near the Governor's Office. He was brave enough, but it was unexpected. Ye Zhao smiled slightly and said, "I'll go meet you too." He wanted to see the characters under the matchmaker.
"Okay." Su Maoniang nodded.
Who knew that before the two of them could enter, they quickly flashed out of the inn, three men and one woman, and Su Hongniang browed when she saw it. Why did he come?
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing...Who is he?" Walking in front was a handsome young man in his twenties, with a black poplin gauze robe that made him look red and white in his lips, but a little feminine.
He should be older than the matchmaker, but he called the matchmaker's sister-in-law. Ye Zhao couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Where did he call him?
"Sister-in-law, let's talk?" The young man walked to the matchmaker, and Ye Zhao's eyes narrowed. The distance was about fifty centimeters. According to the perspective of modern psychology, this is the personal distance. It is a little further away than the distance between lovers and is a distance that is closer to friends. But in this era, he seems too attentive.
"No, I'm all my own people!" Su Hongniang smiled and nodded to the other men and women, then turned to Ye Zhao and said, "Come on, I'll introduce you."
Pointing to a man and a woman behind him, "This is A Cai, Xiaoqing, I'm going to go to Shanghai with me." He said to A Cai and Xiaoqing again: "Call for Brother Ye."
A Cai is a tough and sturdy young man who looks honest and honest. Xiao Qing is quiet, but I think he is also a good player, and he should be the guard of the matchmaker.
"Brother Ye!" A Cai and Xiaoqing both clasped their fists, their voices loudly.
Ye Zhao laughed and bowed: "Let's just keep silent, don't be caught by the police!"
Seeing A Cai and Xiaoqing at a loss, the matchmaker chuckled and said, "Brother Ye likes to joke, but you have to remember what he says. In Guangzhou, it's not as good as ours!"
A Cai and Xiaoqing hurriedly bowed to Brother Xie Ye again.
Ye Zhao was very proud. The relationship with the matchmaker was really normal. If he hadn't been ridiculed by himself before, how could he maintain his authority?
When the young man who called the matchmaker to introduce Ye Zhao as Brother Ye, his eyes became sharp, but when he saw Ye Zhao smiling, his face slowly calmed down.
The matchmaker introduced Ye Zhao to him and said to Ye Zhao: "This is Xue Mingjiu, the younger brother of Brother Xue Sandao, whose courtesy name is Zhan Peng, and he is also Lu Weng's adopted son of Moe Xiao."
Xue Sandao? Ye Zhao suddenly realized that it was the matchmaker's younger brother who was married to the matchmaker. No wonder he called the matchmaker's sister-in-law, and the adopted son of the Lu Weng? Ye Zhao couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Second Prime Minister Lu Yueting?"
The matchmaker has excellent ear skills, nodded gently.
Ye Zhao smiled and bowed, "Brother Xue." I wonder how Xue Sandao's younger brother became Lu Yueting's adopted son. Lu Yueting is a famous gentry in Guangxi. In the Chinese Heaven, Su Maoniang is the Grand Marshal of the Military and Horses and the Prime Minister of the General Academy, and Lu Yueting is the deputy prime minister. Not the famous king of the name of Guangxi. Among the top figures in Guangxi, Lu Yueting ranks second. He heard that Matchmaker had more military expenses. Although Matchmaker was named Prime Minister, Lu Weng should be the first in charge of the people's governance.
"What do you call Brother Ye Taifu?" A smile appeared on Xue Mingjiu's tender face, and he looked very intimate.
"Where are the country people? My name is Ye Ada!" Ye Zhao smiled.
Xue Mingjiu looked at Ye Zhao in confusion, and Ye Zhao smiled: "These are all bought for me by the senior sister." He lowered his voice, "The senior sister wants me to develop the association in Guangzhou."
Xue Mingjiu suddenly realized and nodded.
"It's inconvenient to speak, let's go and have breakfast together and chat while eating." Ye Zhao smiled and greeted everyone, thinking that the matchmaker was hungry too.
Rongfuzhai is more than ten steps away from Quansheng Inn. The store is grand and the golden signboard is said to have been passed down for more than ten generations. It is spotlessly wiped and the sun shines on people's eyes.
Ye Zhao and a group of six entered the lobby and sat down at the secluded table beside the north wall. There was no one near the tables, so it was easy to talk.
The four personal guards, two of them stayed in the tea shop outside to have tea. The two who walked together like friends also entered the store, sat by the window, and ordered two bowls of noodle soup.
Ye Zhao laughed in his heart, and it was hard for them. He was not a professional spy. He could not be seen by Xue Mingjiu and others without his instructions. But he was afraid that he would be exposed after a long time. When Rongfuzhai was released, he would part ways with Xue Mingjiu and others.
Now it’s not too late or too late. A few bowls of clear soup noodles were brought up quickly. Xue Mingjiu kept looking at Ye Zhao, and then asked again: “Brother Ye, this Guangzhou city is no better than other places. Jing Xiang covered the sky with his hands, and the gentry and people were all filled with ecstasy soup. He has many minions under him. Brother Ye wants to develop our party, so can he have a good idea?”
A Cai also slammed his boxing and said: "This guy is the number one hawk in the Qing Dynasty. Without him, we would have entered Guangdong long ago!"
The matchmaker stuttered the noodles slowly, and turned around Ye Zhao with a smile like Mercury's eyes. Ye Zhao was a little helpless, and he still couldn't get rid of his problem of watching him jokes.
Ye Zhao said carelessly: "This Jing Xiang is very incompetent and not worth worrying about. I want to pick his head as easily as I can." The latter sentence is the truth, just to see if I am willing to commit suicide.
Xue Mingjiu and others were all surprised. A Cai Geng and Xiaoqing looked at each other and had the same idea. This guy was arrogant and embarrassed.
Xue Ming finally showed a hint of contempt in his nine eyes. He no longer paid attention to Ye Zhao, but turned to ask the matchmaker: "Sister-in-law, where have you been these two nights? I'm so anxious!"
Ye Zhao could feel that Xue Mingjiu had been talking about his own words. Perhaps the surname "Ye" made him extremely sensitive, that is, he was full of hostility to Ye Zhao, Ye Wenwu, the matchmaker's nominal husband. Just now, maybe he was worried that he was Ye Zhao.
No wonder, although he had never seen "Ye Zhao" before, he might not know whether there was this person, but after stealing his brother's position, how could he have a good impression of "Ye Zhao", let alone seeing that his matchmaker is not just like his uncle's relationship with his sister-in-law.
Sure enough, the matchmaker over there asked, "Why are you here in Guangzhou?"
Xue Mingjiu sighed, "I, I don't want to worry about you." The mouse-headed and mouse-headed sitting beside him was even more despicable than Ruisi. The matchmaker had never introduced it to Ye Zhao to know, and thought it was his follower. At this time, he smiled and said to the matchmaker, "Madam, my young master heard that you were going to Shanghai, but he couldn't sit still for a day. Isn't it just chasing you? He really..." He sighed.
The matchmaker smiled, smiling sweetly, looking at the Lu family's follower.
