Chapter 58: What’s blushing?

Bao Ling made a helpless expression and said, "Your Highness, Prince, you should be clear that I do not have the ability to influence the resolution of the Singapore City Hall."

The speed of the people is no longer suitable for the needs of the crowd, and the number of horse-drawn buses is not convenient enough. At this time, people naturally began to study how to solve the problem of human transportation. The development of science and technology is often due to the needs of humans themselves, not to mention that rickshaws are not scientific and technological achievements, but just to improve the carriages and sedans.

When Ye Zhao went to the Xiguan Prefecture Branch, he took a rickshaw. From the center of Guangzhou City to the Xiguan Tongji Bridge, one cent of silver dollars, that is, ten cents of money. Guangzhou people have formed a customary habit of exchanging one silver dollar for one big money.

The Xiguan Censorship Branch has just been listed, and Ye Zhao is going to make a guest appearance for a few days. Although he talked with Li Jianchen about the idea of ​​setting up Censorship Branches in various places, how could he be careless if he really implemented it?

The people of Xiguan have the most open ideas. The Chinese and Western sub-districts, the experimental yamen, naturally took Xiguan as a pilot, and understood its pros and cons from practice, gradually improved its functional institutions, and then expanded them when the institutions are mature and the time is ripe.

The Xiguan Censorship Branch Office has a deputy rank, who is a sixth-rank official, and is considered the president of the court. The yamen has established a Case Office, a Criminal Office, a Trial Office and other institutions, which are responsible for the trial of cases that the Police Bureau cannot handle but are less harmful.

Ye Zhao took up a position as deputy secretary of the Case Office, and was considered the second in charge of the Case Office. He wore a beard and a dark blue tweed uniform, and was very energetic.

The Xiguan Censorship Branch was located in the west of Tongji Bridge, just like the Police Bureau. It was renovated and became a simple yamen.

I went to the signing room and reported it, and someone led it into the office of the East Chamber Trial Office.

There were five people in the Trial Office, one official, one deputy official, and three subordinates. They all worked in the office of the East Chamber. The window was bright and bright. When Ye Zhao entered the house, Cheng Yi was drinking tea and reading newspapers.

Ye Zhao was stunned and a little helpless at the time. Why did he feel that he was similar to the Qingshui Yamen in later generations? But think about it, if you are willing to read newspapers in this era, you are a "progressive person", and then you will feel relieved.

Cheng Yi was over thirties and was handsome. He was from a wealthy family. He was not recruiting new employees, but was assigned to the Guangdong Censorate Office. Because of his "intelligent and open-minded", he was assigned to the branch office for his "intelligent and open-minded".

Ye Zhao's desk was facing Cheng Yi. When he saw Ye Zhao walk in, Cheng Yi stood up with a smile on his face and reached out to shake hands with Ye Zhao. It was indeed a new style.

"Are you Ye Dianshi?" Cheng Yi asked intimately, holding Ye Zhao's hand.

Ye Dianshi? Ye Dianshi? Ye Zhao was amused. At that time, the title of this Chinese people was all particular, and Cheng Yi was so polite, so he showed kindness.

"Just call me Ye Zhao." Ye Zhao said with a smile.

"No, no, it's good. Our name can still scare people when we go out. When people outside heard this, they thought we were so high-ranking officials. We agreed that we would just call us this one. I'll treat you to dinner tonight. You all have to call me Cheng Dianshi! Let me get a lottery in front of my concubine!" Cheng Yi's last words were directed at the people in the office.

The three subordinates were recruited later, and they were all scholars, and they knew the words and words. When they saw the style of the chief, everyone had strange expressions on their faces, but they all bowed: "Students obey the order."

Cheng Yi rolled his eyes and said, "Didn't you listen to the assistant minister? We are not a yamen that can kill people at the top of the senior level. Don't be a verbal worm. I have a mistake. You can point it out. Students who open their mouths and keep their mouths at the end. What's the use of asking you clay lumps?"

All the three scholars came to the yamen for the first time to do things. They were so scared that the chief scolded them and did not dare to speak out.

Ye Zhao smiled and smoothed out: "Take it slow, you can't be anxious."

Cheng Yi then gave up, turned around and smiled at Ye Zhao and said, "Okay, you have a temper with me!"

Ye Zhao smiled. Cheng Yi was a freak. If it weren't for the Guangdong New Policy, he wouldn't have been able to get over a job in charge until he died.

"Where is Brother Ye from?" The two sat down and chatted with Ye Zhao across the desk.

Ye Zhao smiled and said, "I have been to Guangzhou for a long time."

Cheng Yi said: "Good Guangzhou now. Depending on the age, have you married, right?"

Ye Zhao nodded and asked, "Does Brother Cheng have children?"

Cheng Yi laughed and said, "I'm going to hide it from me, it's better to have no children or not. I have a wife and three concubines in my family, and I have a house outside, but I have to be obedient. Who told them not to lay eggs?"

Ye Zhao looked at him and just laughed. Cheng Yi's name was not obvious, but in the Censor's Office, he was afraid that his wife would be famous. Because he had no children, he took a concubine outside, but the eldest wife cried and made a fuss at the gate of the Censor's Office, which became a joke for a while. However, according to the current rules, the eldest wife had already committed seven crimes and could be spared, but Cheng Yi did not do this, and he was obviously a kind and kind person.

Although he looks so bragging, Ye Zhao likes him three times. After all, there are too few people around him who can blow water.

Cheng Yi talked with Ye Zhao from the south and south of the sea. Of course, Ye Zhao listened more and spoke less, but what Ye Zhao had learned often made Cheng Yi admire him in one sentence, but the more he talked, he became more and more excited.

As they chatted, Cheng Yi talked about the dress of the big girl and the little wife on the street, and said with a tsk: "Mrs. Ma, the former street, likes to wear new cheongsams the most. Her calves are exposed, which makes people feel itchy."

Ye Zhao was helpless and thought to himself that Cheng Yi was too "enlightened".

The third scholar looked awkward and just said in his heart that he should not listen to the inappropriate one's fault.

However, the handling of a case immediately made the three scholars look at the chief with admiration. A Western lady Gui with a puppy came to accuse the Chinese maid of stealing money. The police station had already copied silver dollars from the maid's room. However, Cheng Yi asked a few questions and revealed that Mrs Gui's question. He had to admit that she owed the maid's wages and wanted to fire her but didn't want to pay the money. Then he thought of a trick to frame her.

Cheng Yi was more skilled in civil law and asked the maid whether he would sue the Western lady for "frame and slander". He persuaded him for a long time, but the little maid was timid after all and did not want to cause trouble. In the end, he took the money he had paid for by his wife and thanked him for a long time.

The third scholar looked at Cheng Yi again, and there was a little more respect in his eyes.

Ye Zhao thought that this filing bureau was actually the Department of Justice and the procuratorate in the judicial system of later generations, which was responsible for filing lawsuits, would sooner or later be separated from the court's functions, but it could only be done little by little.

But Cheng Yi kept his word. When it was time for the sanctuary, he was the first to stand up and smiled and said, "Today, everyone is here, no one is allowed to leave. I will serve Western food, so let's have a happy meal."

Among the three scholars, Li, the surname of Li, just said: "There is something to do at the student's family." Cheng Yi's eyes glared: "I'll push you if you have something to do! Brother Ye is rare to be worth it. If you don't give him face, you won't give me face."

Ye Zhao almost squirted out a mouthful of tea. Why is he so much like a gangster boss?

The three scholars had no choice but to agree, but in fact they were eager to try it out. They had never seen any Western food before.

Cheng Yi then smiled and said to Ye Zhao: "Brother, let's go to Sharaba's coffee house. The so-called fresh skin is so moist and beautiful. The Rakshasa beauty there is, keeping you from seeing you, your eyes can't be pulled out. Unfortunately, I heard that the Zhao family in Hutchison Cotton Factory fell in love with him and wanted to propose marriage. I was willing to give a thousand silver dollars as a bride price, but the nurse didn't even flirt with her eyes. She didn't even take it seriously and told him that she would have lost her heart. We poor people, if we can smell the fragrance of the daughter of the coffee she cooked, it would be fate!"

Ye Zhao was stunned, not knowing that there was any other incident. He thought that the "arrogant" nurse must be Mrs. Li.

When going to Sharapova Coffee House, Ye Zhao was a little hesitant, but Cheng Yi was not in charge of the matter. He left the yamen and hired a carriage, and then went to a house on West Street to pick up his concubine, took two carriages, and headed straight to Dexing Bridge.

After getting off the carriage in front of Sharaba's coffee shop, Cheng Yi introduced his concubine to know several people. His concubine's surname is Ma, and she was wearing a green dress, which was romantic and graceful.

All the three scholars were restricted in their courtesy. Although it was very common for women to participate in social activities in Guangzhou, especially in Xiguan, the three scholars experienced this novel feeling for the first time.

Ye Zhao smiled and bowed to Ma, saying, "Sister-in-law."

Cheng Yi pointed at Ye Zhao and said, "Look, Brother Ye has been through a long period of love, but he is not blushing."

Ma's giggles, which are very charming, and the third scholar is even more embarrassed.

In front of Sharava's coffee house, a gas lamppost emits a bright light, and the colorful Western painting signs on the roof of the shining coffee house are even more beautiful.

Cheng Yi arranged into the coffee house, chose a large table by the window, and ordered coffee and pastry. Cheng Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have enough food, let's go to the big theater to try the steak."

The waitress with a white shirt and black pants brought six fragrant cups of coffee. Cheng Yi greedily smelled it. Although he didn't say anything, Ye Zhao and others understood what he meant, but Cheng Yi said it tacitly in front of Ma.

Ye Zhao was tasting coffee and listening to Cheng Yi showing off his literary talent in front of his woman. He glanced at the corner of his eyes and said intimately that it was terrible. There was nothing that was discovered by Sharava.

Sharava came to the barbecue to guide the barista to make coffee. Although in winter, there was the earthy heating created by Ye Zhao. The coffee room was extremely warm. Sharava wore a gorgeous white gauze dress, with fair and delicate skin, towering nose bridge, and her big blue eyes were fascinating, revealing her snow-white shoulders and seductive deepness, just like a female star at a ceremony in later generations, shining with her brilliance.

She had seen Ye Zhao's image of beard wearing a beard for a long time. She suddenly glanced at Ye Zhao, and her charming blue eyes immediately showed surprise. Ye Zhao repeatedly winked her, but how could she understand? She quickly walked out of the bar, and the skirt with lace was huge and gorgeous, and it was directly embellished with the red carpet, just like a wave coming.

Cheng Yi was smiling and asked Ye Zhao: "Brother, what's wrong?" He smelled the refreshing fragrance and turned his head, his eyes really couldn't move away. Sharaba's extremely clear blue eyes were deep and charming, as if there was a kind of weird magic that made people fall into it.

The three scholars kept saying that they should not be treated ungrateful and that they should not be treated ungrateful.

Ye Zhao sat on the far right side of the sofa, next to the aisle, and Sharapo was honest and unceremoniously sitting on the milky white sofa handrail. The huge silk-stack skirt almost covered Ye Zhao's legs tightly.

Ye Zhao had no choice but to introduce to the stunned few people, "My friend, Sharaba."

Sharaba smiled and greeted the few people, "Hello." It was stiff and crisp, with a unique touching charm.

After being secretly pinched by Ma, Cheng Yi came to his senses and looked at Sharava with his eyes, his face turned red a little, and he said in a panic: "Hello, Miss Sharava."

The three scholars looked even more squinting, especially the ambiguous postures between Ye Dianshi and Sharaba, which made people's heart beat.

Sharaba talked to Ye Zhao in a chattering manner. I thought I hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she saved another basket.

Ye Zhao had no choice but to reach out and "shush" beside her red lips, saying, "I'm talking about business with my colleagues, you sit quietly!" Sharaba obviously understood Ye Zhao's gesture, nodded obediently, and looked at Ye Zhao's face happily, as if she couldn't see enough. After a while, she became interested in Ye Zhao's beard again, and reached out her little hand to touch and play with it. She was obviously curious about why this beard was so realistic. Ye Zhao was too lazy to care about her.

Cheng Yi looked at Ye Zhao and admired him. He thought to himself, you can do it. Compared with you, we are all muddy legs in the countryside. Playing with the wind and moon to the Rakshasa Kingdom, this is really a real person who doesn’t show his appearance.

I thought again that my friend’s wife should not be played with, and I can no longer fantasize about the romantic affairs between me and Miss Sharava in the future. But when I accidentally glanced at Sharava’s snow-skinned and blue eyes, my heart could not help but be beating, and I scolded myself in my heart, "It’s not something, you are not something!"

"Brother, how did you get to know Miss Sharava? It must be a pleasant thing for a period of love and love?" Cheng Yi stopped looking at Sharava and asked Ye Zhao with a smile.

Ye Zhao sighed and remembered the countless white bones outside the pass.

How many of the soldiers of the Divine Cannon Camp who were the first to fight with him in the south and the north now have to pay back?

Seeing Ye Zhao's face slightly dark, Sharaba slowly retracted her hand and said slowly, "Sweet, heart, no, angry."

Ye Zhao was stunned, but he didn't expect that the silly Sharapova was quite sensitive. He turned to look at Sharapova and nodded.

Sharava smiled sweetly and happily.

Cheng Yi stared at Ye Zhao, but asked again, "Brother, your family..." Then he smiled and said, "Forget it." Now he interrogated others' family background, and his words were very profound, which was too abrupt.

"Cheng Dianshi, I am working as an owner today. I have a few shares in this coffee shop." Ye Zhao knew that Cheng Yi was smart. If he had been working with him, he would be afraid that he would sooner or later to see through his secrets. However, since there is such a person in the Censorship Branch, he would be relieved. When evaluating the pros and cons, paying more attention to his report will definitely give him a lot of inspiration.

Cheng Yi did not refuse, looked at Ye Zhao, and smiled and said, "Okay, you really don't show your appearance, you should punish me!"
