1825 My New Daming

Chapter 35 Xiaodaozi, called Sister Aijia Yuhuan
In Goulan Hu Zhuge's mansion, the lights were already brightly lit at this time.In the flower hall in the backyard, there is a table of authentic Beijing cuisine, and it is time for the guests and hosts to enjoy themselves.

Although the Empress Dowager invited Zhuge to enter the palace for Taoism, she couldn't delay him from having dinner!

You're hungry, and you don't have the energy to enter the palace, do you?
Looking at the remaining half of the Beijing dishes on this table, Zhuge Weidao can be regarded as an eye-opener - on the table are old Beijing salted duck, old Beijing water basin mutton, old Beijing Buddha jumping over the wall, old Beijing rice field eel jelly Claypot, of course, is Zhuge Weidao's favorite, and it is also the old Beijing Roujiamo that I used to eat when I was in college!Oh, by the way, there is also the most authentic old Beijing daughter red and yellow wine, Zhuge Weidao. Of course, he is not just eating and drinking with his head covered, but while eating and drinking, he is trying to get something out of Zheng Guoxian, a "good brother".

"Shenshan, I heard that Grand Duchess Natalie was detained in Yingtai by the Queen Mother? I don't know where she offended the Queen Mother?" Zhuge Weidao asked about Natalie's situation.Now that he has won the position of military adviser, he has no interest in such long-term empty promises as the prime minister. What he really wants is Natalie.

Zheng Guoxian frowned slightly: "Oh, she didn't offend the queen mother, but her body was dirty, the queen mother wants to find out the culprit and punish him severely!"

"Severe punishment?" Zhuge Weidao picked up a piece of Rougamo, didn't take a bite right away, but frowned, "But if the Grand Duchess refuses to tell who that person is, what should I do?"

Zheng Guoxian looked at Zhuge Weidao, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "Brother Daozi, the Queen Mother knows about your relationship with Natalie. It's very good, and I want you to persuade her to confess that man who has always been chaotic and abandoned. In this way She can go back to the Raksha country!"

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, but the Grand Duchess Natalie is the real sister of the Raksha Czar!"

"Then it depends on what you do, Brother Daozi?"

At this time, Zhuge Weidao understood that the queen mother was going to use Natalie to control her.

"But I'm not afraid," Zhuge Weidao thought, "Empress Dowager Zheng and the others definitely don't know that I got the rank of military adviser. The value of Zhuge without the rank of military adviser is not high, and their asking price should not be too high." Gao, I might be able to fool them the other way around. It seems that Zhuge Weijiu's old fox's morality is deep enough!"

Thinking of this, he pretended to hide his anxiety, and turned his attention to the golden and crispy meat sandwiched in his hand, which was juicy and salty.He took a big bite, then chewed a few times, swallowed slowly, and finally showed a satisfied expression.

Now that I'm finally full, I can go see the Queen Mother!
At this time, Yu De, the housekeeper of Zhuge Weidao, knew that he was going to enter the palace to meet the queen mother, so he ran over and smiled and said to him: "Dong Weng, the flying fish suit, the embroidered spring knife, and the waist card for entering the palace have all been taken care of for you." Ready. Would you like to let Ali wait for you to change clothes?"

Zhuge Weidao was taken aback: "I still have the flying fish suit? And the embroidered spring knife and the waist card for entering the palace?"

Yu De smiled: "Of course, when you went back to Beijing for vacation, you often put on a flying fish suit and brought an embroidered spring knife into the palace to protect the Queen Mother."

Zhuge Wei Daoxin said: "It seems that I really have a good relationship with that Queen Mother Zheng. But the relationship should be quite pure, right? We are all like-minded siblings who came together for a common ideal."

After comforting himself in his heart, Zhuge Weidao said to Zheng Guoxian: "Sacred Mountain, I will come as soon as I go. After I change my clothes, we will enter the palace together."

"Okay, okay." Zheng Guoxian said "Okay", but he was not in a good mood at all, because he felt that he had already figured out Zhuge Weidao's trump card - this little fox from Zhuge's family really lost his memory and became Became a silly, silly fox.It seems that there will be no chance to be a military advisor in this life, and the little plan of my elder sister seems to be in vain.
Goulan Hutong, where Zhuge Weidao lives, is actually a good location. It is very close to the imperial palace. After leaving the house, walk along the Hutong for a while, then go north on Xinkaidao, go west to Xi’anmen Street, and walk west for a few steps. Arrived at Xi'an Gate.Entering the Xi'an Gate, that is the West Garden of the Imperial Palace.

Although the population of Ming Dynasty at this time was only 6000 million (nationality holders), less than a fraction of the 14 billion population of later generations, and the population of Beijing was only 300 million, but the prosperity of the inner city of Beijing was not at all. No less than the second ring of later generations.On the streets of Goulan Hutong, in addition to Zhuge Weidao's house, there are also many theaters and restaurants.Many electric poles were erected on both sides of the street, and street lights were also installed, which were brightly lit at night.Many theaters have also installed a circle of light bulbs around the signboards, and the lights are flickering, which is very popular at first glance.

There were a lot of pedestrians shopping, mostly men and women, in pairs. And Zhuge Weidao and Zheng Guoxian, two handsome guys in Jinyiwei Feiyu suits, walked side by side on the street, which was quite eye-catching.

Zheng Guoxian could wander around the imperial city with his eyes closed, so he just wanted to keep his head down and hurry and take this silly Zhuge to his sister as soon as possible.But Zhuge Weidao is "Brother Zhuge enters the city", this is the first time!A modernized Beijing city in 1826 was really novel to him, a visitor in the 21st century, and everything was new everywhere.

So he started shopping in front of his house, looking around, as if he was a rural Jinyiwei who came to work in Beijing the first day.

Zheng Guoxian was quite helpless when he saw his new look—it was obviously an old Beijing, and it seemed like he had entered the city for the first time, so there was no one else.

When the two of them "walked out" of Goulan Hutong together, the street widened instantly and was divided into sidewalks and roadways.However, all the people coming and going on the roadway were four-wheeled carriages with oil lamps.At the intersection of Goulan Hutong and Xinkaidao, there was a traffic police booth, on which stood a policeman in a blue uniform with a knife, blowing a whistle and waving a flag, directing traffic there.

The newly opened streets are very wide, and the exposed surface of the roadway is poured with asphalt, the color is pitch black, and there are many thick white and yellow lines painted on it. It seems that Daming still has strict traffic regulations.It's a pity that Zhuge Weidao couldn't remember any of these things, and he didn't even know if he had a carriage driver's license?
Zhuge Weidao, who was trying to search his mind for some memories related to the old Beijing in 1826, was led in by Zheng Guoxian through an inconspicuous small door next to the Xi'an Gate. Palace West Garden.

After entering the Xi'an Gate, there is another wide and straight road with continuous palaces and pavilions on both sides. Electric wires and street lights are also installed on both sides of the road. Zhuge Weidao and Zheng Guoxian are standing in this dim Under the light, walk fast.The surrounding area was quiet, and there were no eunuchs or palace servants coming and going.

Zhuge Weidao is quite familiar with this street inside the Xi’an Gate. He used to come here many times when he was studying in Beijing. At that time, this street was called Wenjin Street, and the end of the street was Beihai. The hospital, and the National Library of Ancient Books, and the South China Sea and the South China Sea, together. Anyway, in Zhuge Weidao's previous life, he really wanted to go in, but he never had the chance, and he didn't know that there are imperial guards now. The brand, can go there to see?
In addition, Guan Natalie's Yingtai Island is in the South China Sea, so I don't know how she lives there?
Just as he was thinking of going to Yingtai Island in the South China Sea to see Natalie, Zheng Guoxian, who was walking ahead, stopped in front of a building.Zhuge Weidao almost lost his footing, so he bumped into Zheng Guoxian.

When he looked up, he realized that he had already entered a large courtyard and was still standing outside a brightly lit hall.

This should be the location of the National Library of Ancient Books, right?Zhuge thought for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Shenshan, is this Yuxi Palace?"

Yuxi Palace is a palace in the Xiyuan Palace of the Ming Dynasty. The Ancient Books Hall of the National Library is built on the site of Yuxi Palace.Now that the Ming Dynasty is still there, the Yuxi Palace is probably still there.

Zheng Guoxian looked back at him, "Do you remember?"

"Ah, remember something."

At this moment, a dark eunuch ran out of the main hall of Yuxi Palace holding a whisk in his hands, and when he saw Zhuge Weidao, he showed a surprised expression, and spoke in authentic Chinese: "Daozi, you can come here!" Yes, the empress dowager has been waiting in the hall for quite a while."

Zheng Guoxian smiled and said to the black eunuch: "Hei Xuanfeng, lead the way."

"Yes."

The eunuch actually called "Black Xuanfeng", and he immediately responded, then turned around, and walked towards the main hall of Yuxi Palace like a gust of wind.Zhuge Weidao had no choice but to carry the robe of the flying fish suit to follow, and also walked into the hall.The hall was lit with electric lights, and the light was very bright. Zhuge Weidao saw a person sitting faintly behind a hanging bead curtain in the hall at a glance.

Needless to say, this must be the Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhuge Weidao hurriedly bowed and bowed, and said loudly: "Mr. Zhuge Weidao, Lieutenant Commander of the Navy, respectfully invites the Empress Dowager to be safe."

As soon as his words fell, there were a few sweet and greasy chuckles from behind the curtain, and then a female voice that made people's bones crumble after hearing it: "Xiao Daozi, why are you so serious? You don't call Aijia Yuhuan Miss."
