Chapter Twenty-Four: The Man from Shanghai

When Princess Rong'an couldn't sleep and sat in front of the dresser in a daze, the person in her heart who told her to take a nap had already fallen asleep.

Guan Zhuofan originally did not have the blessing of taking a nap, but now the situation is special, after receiving the knighthood in the Longzong Gate, he was ordered by Yi and returned home. This is the little meaning of the queen mother of the two palaces asking him to "return with fine clothes", so Guan Zhuofan does not have to work at the military aircraft in the afternoon, which is equivalent to a half-day vacation.

Back to the mansion of Wicker Hutong - although the plaque has not had time to be changed, but now it can't be called "Baylor Mansion", it has to be called "County King's Mansion" or "Wangfu" - the middle door is wide open, from the steps outside the gate to the dripping eaves of the second hall, the black pressure is pressed, and all the people kneel, and they all "welcome the prince back to the house".

When he entered the door, the family, including the two sisters-in-law of Bai and Ming, changed their names to him, no longer "master", but "prince".

Guan Zhuofan ate something hastily, a feeling of exhaustion filled his body, and his eyelids were already tired. He knew that next, congratulatory stickers, congratulatory gifts, and congratulatory guests would come like a tide, and before going to bed, he would explain to Bai and Ming: accept the congratulatory stickers; Congratulatory gifts, if they are not sent by the clan, no matter who they are, they will all be declined; Greeting guests, except for the one who is who, the rest of the people, regardless of high or low, will all block the drive.

I'll talk about the rest later, when I wake up.

Bai Shi said softly: "Yes, we have all remembered the prince's orders, so please settle them." ”

Let's say, together with Ming, squatted lightly for a blessing, and got up. You have to turn around and go out.

Guan Zhuofan was stunned, stunned, and shouted: "Wait a minute!" ”

The two sisters-in-law stopped. Turn around.

Guan Zhuofan sighed, stood up, stepped forward, grabbed the soft waists of the two sisters-in-law with one hand, and gently brought them into his arms.

The faces of the Bai family and the Ming family were all red when they landed. Gently lay down on his chest and said nothing.

Guan Zhuofan lowered his head. One left and one right, on the smooth foreheads of the two women, a kiss was imprinted on each.

The bodies of the Bai clan and the Ming clan trembled.

Guan Zhuofan sighed again. said: "'Prince' is called by Lao Shizi, and when he is in front of people, he can't help but call it that. However, when no one else is present, of course we are the same as before - if in private, you two still have trouble with me, what else do I have to do as this person? Well, you say. Isn't it? ”

The two sisters-in-law raised their heads, looked at each other, and lowered their heads again. In a barely audible voice, he said:

"Yes."

"Yes."

Guan Zhuofan's tone was pleased: "Okay, then, what should I call me?" Say it again, I'll hear it! ”

"Zhuo...... Every. ”

"Zhuo Fan!"

Guan Zhuofan's arm pressed into his arms to show satisfaction: "That's right!" ”

The two sisters-in-law unanimously called out softly. Not only did they stick closely to Guan Zhuofan. Each other's towering breasts are also squeezed together. For a moment, they all felt each other's fullness and softness.

Guan Zhuofan laughed, kissed them again, and then let them go: "Okay, let's go out, there are some things, let's work together in the evening." ”

The two sisters-in-law went out with a red light on their faces, Guan Zhuofan had countless things in his mind, but when he got into bed, he almost touched his head on the pillow, and fell into the black sweet country.

Outside the house, the Bai family and the Ming family clearly heard the faint snoring in the room, and they looked at each other, both of them smiling.

When Guan Zhuofan woke up, it was almost the right time.

This night's sleep, a full hour and a half, is really a luxury that will not be available for a year and a half!

He stretched his waist greatly, and let out a long sigh of great satisfaction: "Steal half a day of leisure"!

Bai Shi came in, served him to get up, and said: Mr. Qian has been waiting in the study for half an hour, I will follow what you said, please ask him to "read the book at will" first.

Mr. Qian, Qian Dingming, one of Guan Zhuofan's most confidants, has appeared several times in the previous article. Last night, Qian Dingming had just arrived in Beijing, and early this morning, he went to Wicker Hutong to post a post. Before Guan Zhuofan went to court, he left a message and asked him to come over in the afternoon.

Guan Zhuofan went north to enter the direct military plane, in order to "show the world and the public selfless", and not to irritate the people of King Gong's family, none of his most confidants were brought to Beijing, including Qian Dingming. But at this time, the situation has changed, he is in charge, and the next thing is to make a big move, both capable of using his own people, and must use his own people.

Guan Zhuofan wiped his face with a hot towel, full of energy and energy.

As soon as he entered the study, Qian Dingming, who had already been waiting for him, rushed forward and knelt down to salute: "The prince is overjoyed!" ”

Guan Zhuofan accepted the salute calmly, then helped him up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "Dingfang, I can keep you waiting for a long time." ”

Qian Dingming said with a smile: "There are too many good books in the prince's study, I am like entering Baoshan, I am fascinated by all colors, and I have not been idle for a minute." ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, "I haven't been idle for a minute", this kind of saying will only come from the mouth of "people from Shanghai".

The world is really starting to change.

His gaze wandered to the desk next to the guest seat, on which lay the book, with the text "Polo" on the cover.

Yo, it's actually the English version of "Marco Polo's Travels"!

Guan Zhuofan was quite surprised, with surprise in his tone: "Dingfang, are you learning English?" ”

Qian Dingming said with a smile: "Yes, according to the edict of the prince, our group of people in Shanghai are all learning English - including Zhao Zhusheng." ”

"The prince's edict" only "encouraged" everyone to learn English, and did not "require" everyone to learn English, but everyone's enthusiasm for learning really exceeded the expectations of the new prince.

Guan Zhuofan was very relieved in his heart, and at the same time thought that Shanghai and Beijing are really incomparable! The work of "changing the mind" has a difficult start and a long way to go.

Guan Zhuofan picked up the book, flipped through it casually, and asked, "How is it, how much can you understand now?" ”

"About seventy percent." Qian Dingming said with a smile, "Talking to foreigners, dancing with hands, dancing with feet, comparing and dying, there is no need for interpretation." ”

Guan Zhuofan was secretly surprised in his heart: How long has Qian Dingming been learning English? That's it! The thirtieth grandson of Qian Biao, the king of Wuyue, cannot be underestimated!

Thinking about it again, China's large size and rich heritage are really a gathering of talents, as long as the concept is turned around, the right way is taken, I don't know how much energy can burst out?

His heart was slightly hot, his thumb was cocked, and he said, "Amazing! Dingfang, let me say the word 'service' to you! ”

Qian Dingming said with a smile: "The prince praised it falsely. Ding Ming is just the king's head. In fact, our group of people in Shanghai are not bad at all. For example, Zhao Zhusheng, in addition to the case, one of his favorite things to do is to go to Zeng Jiegang's Cantonese dialect museum, go to the 'big library', and borrow foreign books to read. ”

Yo, Zhao Jingxian still does this kind of thing!

The "big library" and "core assets" of the Canton Dialect Museum are all foreign books, which were the "achievements" of the Georgia State Library when the Northern Army captured the capital of Georgia in Millichwell on the way from Atlanta to Savannah, and the Fourth Division of the Songjiang Army "cleaned up" the Georgia State Library.

Guan Zhuofan thought of the brilliant Zhao Futai, walking around the tall and thick oak bookshelves, what kind of scene was that? I couldn't help but smile.

Unfortunately, Qian Dingming quickly ruined his imagination: "Tell a joke to the prince." Zhao Zhusheng wore civilian clothes to the 'big library', and at the beginning, the soldiers guarding the door did not recognize him, and he did not know that he had to go to Zeng Jiegang to apply for a 'library card', so he was stopped by the doorman. Zhao Zhusheng was not angry, nor did he show his identity, but reasoned with the guard: Books and classics, instead of hiding in the famous mountains and high pavilions, are silent, how can they be passed on to the world, teach and solve doubts, and benefit people's hearts? ”

Guan Zhuofan was slightly stunned, he didn't take what Qian Dingming said as a joke, he groaned for a while, and said: "Brother Zhu's words seem to be scholarly, but they actually make a lot of sense. ”

Qian Dingming smiled slightly and said, "Lord Gao! However, this batch of books is Zeng Jiegang's heart! It's still Zhao Zhusheng's joke: he borrowed a book from the 'big library', his official business is really busy, and when it comes to the return deadline, there are still a few pages left to read, thinking that he will fight at night tonight and return it the next day, which is not too late. Unexpectedly, Zeng Jie couldn't wait, so he sent someone to sit and wait in the flower hall of the governor's yamen, and he was willing to go back only if he got the book. ”

Guan Zhuofan laughed.

Qian Dingming also smiled and said: "Jiegang made his first trip to England, and the most reassuring thing is this 'big library'. ”

The anecdote in Shanghai said that after a round, the guests and hosts sat down, and after the tea was served, Guan Zhuofan said: "Dingfang, this time you are invited to Beijing, and you want to borrow dà talents, mainly two things. Well, these two things are groundbreaking, and if they are successfully implemented, they will have far-reaching consequences. ”

It started with small outbursts, and then came one after another. If you think that the character of the lion is passable, is it good to reward a ticket? Thanks!
