As soon as the bangs left, Zeng Yuying put down her chopsticks, her face covered with frost.
"Xiaolan is so capable. She climbed into the master's bed in just one day."
Xiaolan, who was sitting at the bottom, was so frightened when she heard Zeng Yuying's words that she quickly stood up and knelt in front of Zeng Yuying.
"Madam, I forgive you. It's not Xiaolan's fault. It's the master who forced me. I dare not respond."
After Xiaolan said this, she kowtowed to Zeng Yuying repeatedly.
Zeng Yuying sat there and looked at Xiaolan below, without any comfort, so she kept kowtowing there.
Chen Yuting, who was sitting aside, looked at Xiaolan's embarrassment and was a little relieved at first, but then she turned her eyes and had an idea in her mind.
So Chen Yuting stood up and first gave Zeng Yuying a blessing, and then said: "This matter is not something that she, a maid, can decide. Madam, please spare her for the sake of serving the master."
Bar."
Zeng Yuying couldn't bear it anymore when she got here. She stood up and wanted to scold Chen Yuting. But at this time, the old woman behind Zeng Yuying grabbed Zeng Yuying first and said, "Madam, this is to see the new aunt serve you."
Grandpa has worked hard and wants to give her some reward, but what Aunt Chen said just now is too much."
Although Zeng Yuying is coquettish and domineering, it does not mean that she is a fool. She will react as soon as the old woman reminds her.
She quickly stepped forward to help Xiaolan, who was newly promoted, and took off a jade bracelet from her arm and put it on her hand. Then she said: "You think too much. But I can serve my grandpa."
It’s also your blessing.”
After coming down, Zeng Yuying ordered people to place Aunt Xiaolan in the Chunfeng Courtyard of the inner house, and then had her luggage sent there too.
After Xiaolan left, Zeng Yuying glared at Chen Yuting fiercely, flicked her sleeves and went back to her main room.
Chen Yuting didn't care at all about Zeng Yuying's hostility. She just smiled contemptuously and took the maid back to her yard.
Besides, Liu Hai left the inner house and came to the gate with his guards, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was true that I couldn't control my bangs last night. I originally wanted to show off to Zeng Yuying and Chen Yuting, but I didn't expect that it ended up causing trouble for me.
However, Liu Hai soon forgot about these matters in the inner house, and he led his people to the Nanyang Navy Yamen.
As soon as he entered, Liu Hai's staff member Zhao Jiahua hurriedly came out to greet him.
Liu Hai just nodded to Zhao Jiahua and walked towards the main hall.
Zhao Jiahua followed Liu Hai and said softly to him: "Sir, a telegram came from the capital just now."
"What do the gentlemen in the capital say?"
"Sir, the Military Aircraft Department wants you to go to the capital to negotiate with the Geely people."
Liu Hai burst out laughing when he heard this, "Who came up with this idea? Do they really think of me as a reckless man?"
Zhao Jiahua couldn't help but laugh at the side. Those people in the capital were really whimsical this time.
On the surface, their order was for Liu Hai to go to the capital to negotiate with the Geely people, but I'm afraid even a teenager could see the meaning. If Liu Hai entered the capital, he might never be able to leave.
Liu Hai had arrived at the lobby of the yamen and was about to enter the main hall when he suddenly stopped and said to Zhao Jiahua on the side: "Call back to the capital. I still have a lot of military affairs to do in Shanghai. I really can't do without it. Let the envoy from the Geely Kingdom go south.
Shanghai, we are negotiating here."
"Yes, I'll do my humble job now."
Liu Hai nodded and went directly into the main hall.
Liu Hai was very busy in the next few days. During this time, he left Liangjiang and piled up many things that he had to review personally.
Most of these matters are government affairs in the Liangjiang area, because Liu Zhi can make decisions on behalf of Liu Hai in military affairs, but in government affairs Liu Zhi generally does not interfere.
At this time, it can be said that the Military Aircraft Department in the capital has changed a group of people.
Prince Gong Yixin, who was on duty at the Military Aircraft Department a few days ago, is seriously ill and can no longer serve as director.
Originally, Prince Gong Yixin was not in good health and had several fevers. If it were not for the panacea that saved his life, he would have died a long time ago.
However, after holding on like this until a few days ago, my body finally collapsed and I could no longer take care of myself.
This was the critical moment for Emperor Guangxu to implement the reform and reform. Emperor Guangxu very much needed the support of Prince Gong Yixin, a powerful faction in the royal family who supported him.
Therefore, Emperor Guangxu visited Prince Gong's Mansion several times to visit his uncle. However, he had no choice but to return because Prince Gong Yixin had fallen into a coma. Even though there were panaceas and other panaceas, there was no way to save him.
.
However, Emperor Guangxu's desire to reform and strengthen himself did not diminish for a moment. Although Prince Gong Yixin was seriously ill, Emperor Guangxu still forcibly implemented his reforms throughout the country.
Just because Emperor Guangxu suddenly became more powerful, the current military aircraft department also began to temporarily hibernate.
Because in the Military Aircraft Department, almost all of them are Empress Dowager Cixi’s people now, such as Li Prince Shiduo, Gang Yi, Rong Lu, these are all old military aircraft, and they hold real power.
Therefore, the current Emperor Guangxu has almost abandoned the Military Aircraft Department, and brought several of his staff, such as Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao and others, to issue edicts by themselves.
But now a telegram from Liu Hai reached the Military Aircraft Department. The current head of the Military Aircraft Department, Prince Li Shiduo, took this telegram and understood that Liu Hai would not come to the capital again.
Regarding this troublesome matter, Prince Li Shiduo did not want to take over it, so he directly sent it to Emperor Guangxu of Dongnuang Pavilion.
After Emperor Guangxu received the telegram from Prince Li Shiduo, he only glanced at it gently and put it into Kang Youwei's hands.

"Take a look, how should you deal with this matter?"
Kang Youwei took the telegram and read it. He stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I have long said that this trick will not work, but those people in the Military Aircraft Department turned a deaf ear to my words. What now? Sure enough, bangs won't work.
Enter Beijing."
When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he also sighed with emotion, "Sir, you are so clever and clever that everything in the world is in the palm of your hand. If I had been here earlier, how could I have ended up like this?"
After listening to Emperor Guangxu's compliment, Kang Youwei stroked his beard and smiled reservedly, and then said: "We don't need to pursue this matter any further. The most anxious person now should be the Geely people to send this telegram directly to
The Embassy of Kyrgyzstan, let the minister take matters into his own hands."
After he finished speaking, Kang Youwei laughed unconsciously again, "Let them go dog-eat-dog first. After we reform and become stronger, we can then lead the troops south. When the time comes, we will use the overwhelming power of Mount Tai to turn our bangs into powder immediately."
After listening to Kang Youwei's strategy, Emperor Guangxu nodded repeatedly. In his mind, reform to strengthen was just a tool. The most important thing was to regain control of the power of the Qing Dynasty through reform.
Therefore, this telegram, together with Emperor Guangxu's approval, was sent to the Embassy of Jili State in Minxiang, Dongjiao.
Sir Dou Nalue was also very helpless after receiving the news back home. Now the news coming back from England let him know that although the main force of the Nanyang Navy has withdrawn from the Indian Ocean, there are still small cruisers cruising there.
In order to open up communication with Asan as soon as possible, the government of Geely has urged him time and again.
Therefore, after receiving the reply from the Qing Dynasty, Sir Dou Nale did not hesitate and immediately went to Tianjin.
Then he met Li Hongzhang, the current governor of Zhili, in Tianjin. With Li Hongzhang's help, he boarded a transport ship of the Beiyang Navy and rushed southward.
After several days of trekking, Sir Dou Nale finally arrived in Shanghai. He did not go to see Liu Hai immediately in Shanghai, but first entered the Geely Consulate in Shanghai.
Sir Dou Nale learned about Liu Hai's whereabouts after returning to Shanghai during this period, as well as some current rumors in the Liangjiang area.
After he felt confident, he sent people to the Nanyang Navy Yamen and issued a notice to Liu Hai, requesting that the two sides negotiate.
After receiving the notification from Sir Dou Nale, Liu Hai directly gave him a reply, requesting that negotiations be held only at the Nanyang Navy Yamen.
In fact, Sir Dou Nale did not want to go to Liu Hai's territory. In his mind, he should negotiate at the Geely Consulate, so that he would have a psychological advantage.
But now that Liu Hai had achieved victory at sea, as the losing party, he had no choice but to bring his negotiators to the Nanyang Navy Yamen at the time specified by Liu Hai.
When Sir Dou Nale arrived at the gate of the Yamen, Liu Zhi was already there with a group of officials to greet him.
Sir Dou Nale was a little unhappy when he saw that he was not greeted by bangs. What he was thinking was that although our British Empire failed in this naval battle, our Geely Kingdom is also the most powerful country in the world. You are so negligent.
What do I mean?
Liu Zhi, who was standing at the door of the Nanyang Navy, saw Sir Dou Nale's forward steps suddenly stopped, and then his face was full of displeasure, and he knew what he was thinking.
However, Liu Zhi is now a little disdainful of these foreigners. They were all beaten to pieces by my lord, and he is still putting on airs here without even looking at who is strong and who is weak now.
Therefore, Liu Zhi stood at the door of the Yamen and did not go up to salute Sir Dou Nale as usual.
In this way, the two sides stood at the door more than ten meters apart, neither of them moving.
Ten minutes later, Jesse Mullan, the Geely Consul in Shanghai who had followed Sir Dou Nale, hurried up and said to Sir Dou Nale: "Your Excellency, this is not the time to act on impulse. We can no longer decide before the negotiation.
The atmosphere has become tense, otherwise once negotiations begin, it will be difficult for us as a disadvantaged party to end the negotiations."
After hearing what his assistant said, Sir Dou Nale could only let out a sigh of relief. Then he put a smile on his face again, stepped forward and said to Liu Zhi: "I was thinking about something just now, which was a bit rude."
