The morning after tomorrow is the beginning of the morning – that is, tomorrow you can "rest" all day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Cixi's habit of doing things is "today's work is done today", and her temperament has always been to face difficulties and not be afraid of challenges, but when she heard that "Dongbianer" came over the day after tomorrow, she still couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In the face of Ci'an, he is indeed "timid".

After thinking about it, Guan Zhuofan needs a certain amount of time to take what he said - "Auxiliary Political King", "Three Palace Curtains", etc., to lay the foundation for "Dongbianer", tomorrow One day, he will naturally use it for this matter, so it shows his sincerity to the "Auxiliary Political King" and "Three Palace Curtains"!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but smile like a flower, and said: "You have been busy for the past two days, and you are not very distracted, the name of the little official...... I can talk about that later. ”

"Huh? Oh, yes, Empress Dowager Xie understands. ”

Cixi's eyes fluttered, "Otherwise...... I'll ...... for you Divide the work? ”

Guan Zhuofan was slightly stunned, "How can the minister afford the word 'sharing of labor'?" How to handle it, please ask the Queen Mother to admonish. ”

"What's 'handled' or not," Cixi said angrily, "Naming your own son is not an errand, so don't just 'wait for this'." ”

"Yes, yes."

"I mean—the name of the petty official, naturally it's still your 'messenger'—"

Speaking of this, Cixi herself smiled first and took a sip lightly, "It's all your fault!" This mouth of mine is also a 'messenger' and a 'messenger'! You've ruined me! ”

Did I take you badly?

"Uh...... The minister was terrified. ”

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, sister, your interest is really good.

Well, what is that? "Be a child"?

Hey.

"I mean," Cixi tucked her sideburns, "I can think of the name of the little official." ”

After a pause, "The child's name naturally belongs to the father; The name of the breast, from the beginning of being a mother, should also be reasonable, right? - Well, it's not like I've trespassed you, right? ”

Guan Zhuofan hurriedly owed a debt and said: "Everything is only the order of the Queen Mother!" However, the word 'encroachment', please ask the Queen Mother to take it back - these two words, minister...... Can't bear it? ”

Cixi Gege smiled, "I don't want to 'take back' - these two words, just put them in place, and you want to 'bear'!" ”

"The Queen Mother's ......"

"Don't bother me, I'm using my brain!"

Guan Zhuofan had no choice but to shut up.

Cixi put one hand on her cheek, her thumb and middle finger gently pinched her chin, and her index finger pointed at her face, gently clasping it, and at the same time, she slightly deflected her head.

The cheeks are like jade, the red clouds are lightly dyed, and the nails stained with impatiens juice are bright and dazzling. 、

Guan Zhuofan felt that his heartbeat was inexplicably faster.

After a long while, Cixi smiled and sighed, then shook her head slightly, put down her hand, and said, "My brain, in these things, is really not very useful!" Come to think of it, it's either gold or jade, I'm afraid...... None of them will please you. ”

"The queen mother's rise is naturally good......"

"Come on."

Under the long eyelashes, the autumn water flowed, "Hey, you say, let's just keep calling him 'Little Guan'er' - just use 'Little Guan'er' as his milk name, okay?" ”

"Uh, ...... too"

Before Guan Zhuofan's word "good" was spoken, Cixi first denied herself: "It's not good! Otherwise, after the little official is sensible, he doesn't say anything, he must complain in his heart, why are Ama and Eniang so unconcerned about him? - Even a milk name, all cut corners like this? ”

These few words, especially the "not hearted" said, the speaker may not be unintentional, the listener is even more intentional, Guan Zhuofan was very embarrassed, he didn't know how to answer, so he had to make a vague "hey, hey" twice.

"Actually," Cixi said, "I really think that it's good to use 'Little Guan'er' as a milk name, and in the future, when he has younger brothers and sisters, he will change it to 'Big Guan'er', and the younger brothers and sisters below will be 'Second Guan'er' and 'Third Guan'er'...... You see, it's nice and hassle-free! ”

What the? Brother and sister?!

What do you mean...... You still want to give birth?!

Me, I......

This time, I can't even "hey" "hey".

Cixi glanced at Guan Zhuofan and smiled, "Forget it, I don't use this brain—it doesn't work if I do!" Right? In the affairs of the little official, you still have to count on being a father and a mother - it's not enough! ”

This is "drawing a doll and drawing a wall".

"Hey, hey......"

Guan Zhuofan involuntarily, raised his right hand, and gently wiped his forehead - he was already sweating slightly.

Hey, it's going over and over again...... You're not done yet!

"The name of the little official, let's wait until you've been busy for the past two days, let's talk about it!"

"Yes, yes!"

"So, let's ...... See you later? ”

"Yes, a ...... See. ”

*

Yu'er, Li Lianying, and Qifujin can clearly feel that the Queen Mother is in a very good mood.

When Prince Xuan left, it was already time to pass on lunch, and Yu'er came to ask for instructions, is this the food?

"Pass it on."

After a pause, Cixi added, "Invite Qifujin over and use it together." ”

So, Qifujin came over to "accompany the meal".

One table per person, two dishes per person, one per person, all of which are in accordance with the rules; What does not follow the "rules" is that the Queen Mother is full of spring breeze, and from time to time, across the table, she says a few words to Qifujin - it is not an important word, it is all the affairs of the prince's relatives, seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law, but "food does not speak", when passing the meal, saying so many words, it is rare!

Yu'er and Li Lianying exchanged glances: I don't know what the master and Prince Xuan said?

After the meal, Cixi said: "You go and prepare, take a nap, let's invite Qifujin 'Cruise River'." ”

Yu'er and Li Lianying were both moved in their hearts, and hurriedly responded in unison: "Yes!" ”

Cixi turned her head and said to Qifujin with a smile, "I don't know if you saw the little steamer at the back dock?" Today's weather is good, the wind is not strong, not at the right time, the sun is shining, it should be warm, let's take a boat, take a walk on the river, it is very suitable. ”

Qifujin hurriedly thanked him and said with a smile: "That little fire wheel, the concubine also saw it, it's very novel!" Today, with the blessing of the Queen Mother, the concubine will also open a foreign meat and see the world! ”

"'Open foreign meat,'" said Cixi with a smile, "I am actually inferior to you—I haven't ridden a steamer yet!" I had to take a small fire wheel out and show off with you, which is considered to be even. ”

Qifujin was busy thanking him, and Yu'er and Li Lianying secretly exchanged a look: The interest of the Queen Mother is really very good!

"By the way, when it comes to 'opening foreign meat'", Cixi took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "Let's have dinner today, let's invite Qifujin to have a foreign meal." ”

Western-style food?

Ouch, the last time I "spread the food", but it's a matter of days!

Yu'er replied loudly "yes", and then said: "Please show me the master, where can I pass the dinner?" ”

Cixi pondered for a moment, and said, "'Blue Hall'—it's a spacious place, and it's like a place for Western food. ”

"Yes!"

Cixi passed the meal alone, usually in the outer room of the bedroom, and today's lunch, Qifujin "accompanied the meal", and moved to the dining room opposite the bedroom. In Qifujin's view, this dining room is already very small, and what is the "blue hall"? Listen, it seems to be a little more "generous"?

"This 'Blue Room'," Cixi seemed to know what Qifujin was thinking, "the ceiling and the walls are all white, but the carpets, curtains, tables and chairs, all are blue, hence the strange name." ”

After a pause, "There's a little joke here." ”

Hearing the word "little joke", Qifujin's body leaned forward slightly, made a very interesting look, and said: "The concubine loves to listen to jokes the most, and the jokes told by the Queen Mother must be excellent!" ”

Cixi smiled, "You misunderstood, it's not that kind of joke—"

After a pause, "The last time I came to Tianjin, Guan Zhuofan told me that this Blue Room was 'decorated according to the appearance of the French Palace', and I said, 'You have never been to France, how do you know what the French Palace looks like'?" ”

Qifujin quipped: "Yes, how did he know? ”

"As soon as the words came out," said Cixi, "I felt that this question did not make sense—although he had never been to France, perhaps the man who presided over the construction of the palace was a Frenchman." ”

"Uh...... Also. ”

"I just wanted to say something, but after a while, he said that he had never been to France, but he had been to the United States, the 'White House' of the President of the United States, and there was a 'Blue Room' in it, which was studied by France.

"Oh...... So that's what happened. ”

"I say," said Cixi, "'Oh, I see—America to France, you to America, you are a second-class peddler!'" ’”

After that, he pursed his lips and smiled.

If the words are regrettable, they are actually very happy.

Qifujin couldn't help but laugh - not pretending.

"The Queen Mother said this about him, didn't she...... A little mean? He's actually ...... It's a lot of hard work! ”

A piece of hard work.

Cixi sighed deeply in her heart.

"He's thick-skinned," said the Queen Mother's voice, faintly, "and he can't get a prickle of blood, and occasionally handing over a few mean words, just to tickle him." ”

Qifujin can't accept this, but if he doesn't, the atmosphere will definitely become embarrassing, so he cautiously changed the topic: "The concubine heard that the rules of 'foreign food' are big, and the concubine doesn't know anything, so I'm very afraid...... When the time comes, the king will lose his manners! ”

"No matter how big it is, it's just how to 'dance the knife and make a fork', when the time comes, I will teach you, learn a little, and you will be done."

At the beginning, it was he who taught me how to "dance with knives and forks......

Alas, in retrospect, it seems to be yesterday, and it seems to be a lifetime ago......

Qifu Jin laughed horrifiedly: "'Dancing knives and forks'? ”

"Yes, 'Western' doesn't use chopsticks, no matter what, you cut it with a knife first, and then use a fork to eat it - what's there? When we Manchurians eat meat, don't we also cut it with a knife, prick it, and send it to our mouths? ”

"Huh? Yes, yes. ”

The atmosphere of the entire Guangang Palace began to undergo subtle changes:

The thin layer of gloom and misery dissipated, and a smile that was both relieved and a little mysterious appeared on people's faces.
