The temperament of "Dongbianer" is very different from his own, and Guan Zhuofan must know this layer; Some foreign gadgets are too novel and weird, and they may even be suspected of "immorality", they may not think about it, but the "east" must be making a fuss, at this level, Guan Zhuofan should also know it.

This is not the most critical - the most important thing is that he and Guan Zhuofan, fish and water, love and sweetness, naturally have the greatest tolerance for things involving "weathering", not to mention, these unclothed statues, in the final analysis, are placed in their own "private houses"?

It was only now that Cixi suddenly realized that this Guangang Palace, tracing back to its origins, was actually not her own "private residence".

From the very beginning, this Guangang Palace was prepared for the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to visit Tianjin.

That...... Wasn't he afraid that the "East Side" would frighten her out of sight of these strange statues?

Can't think of it? Still is...... What's more?

Its momentum does not allow Cixi to scrutinize carefully, and the steps of the main building are already in front of it.

Ci'an raised his head slightly, "Ouch, such big pillars!" Closing the ...... Well, ten! It's really magnificent! ”

Ten marble pillars, standing proudly, six on the front, two on the left and right, two on each side, together support the magnificent porch.

Ci'an turned his head and said to Cixi: "The pillars of our house are all wood, but the pillars of the foreign house are all stone, but this stone pillar looks stronger!" ”

Cixi smiled and nodded, "That's what my sister said. ”

I thought to myself, I don't know if the palace in the "east" is "our house" or a "foreign house"?

Ci'an immediately answered her questions, "My place is also a stone pillar, but there are only eight of them, and they are not as tall as yours." ”

Oh, and it's also a "bungalow".

"Where did my sister speak?" Cixi said slightly, "What 'I'm there', 'you here'--'I'm here', isn't it the beginning-"

Speaking of this, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Guan Zhuofan, "Hmm...... Is it specially for the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces to visit Tianjin in the east? My sister 'Shousheji', I had to come and live alone! ”

Ci'an said "I'm there" and "you're here", in fact, there was no other meaning, and when Cixi said this, it seemed that he intended to divide each other, and he couldn't help blushing slightly, and said: "What my sister said is that I lost my words." ”

The heavy carved oak door had been opened, and the group walked up the stairs into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Ci'an let out a soft "ouch" and exclaimed, "What a big staircase!" Much more than the stairs I have there! ”

Cixi smiled slightly, and did not correct her "where I am".

In the middle of the spacious hall is a staircase about one foot and three feet wide, which rises halfway, separates from the left and right, and then spirals upward.

The staircase is covered with a red carpet, and the handrails are carved with oak wood, which is both heavy and luxurious, and very bold.

The group entered the hall, but this staircase was not accessible to anyone.

Yu'er led the Empress Dowager of the two palaces up the stairs, and the others, including Prince Xuan, stayed on the first floor.

Entering the bedroom, Ci'an smiled on his face, nodded slightly, and looked around to "appreciate" with an admiring look.

Suddenly, she let out a soft "yo" and stopped moving.

Cixi thought to herself: How can this sister be like a country woman who has never seen the world? Return the queen mother! Isn't her palace also a "foreign house", even if it is a little smaller, how different can it be from here......

While slandering, he followed Ci'an's gaze, and "groaned" in his heart, and almost "yo" came out.

The eyes of the two queen mothers fell on a huge painting on the wall.

Yo, that's- my portrait!

How did I forget about it?

This portrait, Cixi **** is the opposite, it is already nothing, I didn't think that if the "east" saw it, what would happen...... Harm?

Alas, there is air leaking everywhere! Now my mind is really no better than before!

But-

This portrait is not as good as "Dai Xiao", so I forgot to take it down and asked "Dongbianer" to see it, which may not be a bad thing......

Well, hold on to your composure.

"The last time I came back to Tianjin," Cixi said idly, "wasn't it to inspect the Xuan Army?" I watched the army drill at the small station barracks, and I even had to go to sea -- I took the 'Champion' and went to Dagu to watch the navy drill. ”

After a pause, "This painting is just after watching the navy's drills, and after coming back, Guan Zhuofan asked someone to paint it -- in his words, it is a 'commemoration'." ”

"Ah......h

This portrait is nearly a foot high, more than six feet wide, in the middle of the portrait, the Queen Mother is dressed in a straight dress, her head is slightly raised, her sword is pretty, and she has thousands of digits.

"At that time," Cixi continued, "I was standing on the bridge of the Champion. ”

"Ah......h

Ci'an didn't know what the "bridge" was, but she could see that the beautiful woman in the painting was indeed standing on a boat—in the picture, there were black railings, red chimneys, orange masts, white cloud sails, and a few seabirds flying under a clear sky.

"Sister Shousheji," Cixi said, "I couldn't make this trip, otherwise, our sisters and sons, side by side, stood on the bridge of the 'Champion', that ...... How nice would it be? ”

I also became ...... The people in the painting?

Ci'an's heartbeat was inexplicably faster.

In my head, I was also slightly dizzy.

Breathing a sigh of relief, he relieved himself and shook his head, "Alas, I can't compare to you!" ”

This is not a kind word, it is really "self-admitted".

After looking at it in a daze for a while, Ci'an turned his head, sighed, and said, "How can you draw it so similarly?" So...... So detailed? It's ...... It's even more like the photos! Be meticulous too! ”

It's like indeed, it's really detailed.

The east pearl on the phoenix crown, the copper buttons on the chest of the military uniform, the wide-brimmed gold silk embroidery on the cuffs, the shiny leather boots, and the sterling silver gauntlets of the saber are all shining with a strange luster.

The eyelashes, the reflections of the pupils, and the intricate and delicate patterns on the spikes are all clearly recognizable.

It's almost "delicate".

"This kind of Western painting," Cixi said, "is called 'oil painting,' and our Chinese paintings, depicting figures, really can't do it so forcefully." ”

After a pause, "Oh, by the way, my sister has also seen this kind of painting - the minister of England, the one called Ali Guo or something, didn't he send us a portrait of their queen?" That portrait is an 'oil painting.'"

"Ah, yes......"

Ci'an also remembered.

However, she quickly shook her head, "It's not as good as yours!" Besides, her one is much smaller. ”

In fact, in terms of size, "that" is indeed not as good as "this one", but in terms of painting skills, "this" cannot surpass "that", the key is that this painting is painted by the most familiar person in Ci'an; That painting is a stranger who has never met, like it or not, there is no way to compare, and there will be no shocking and inexplicable feeling of looking at this painting.

As for "it's more like a photo", in a sense, it's a fact.

In this era, the Chinese people have just come into contact with photography, and before the camera, even the supreme emperor and queen mother can't help but be nervous and restrained.

The portrait is different!

The person in the painting in front of him, from the inside to the outside, exudes an indescribable spirit! That kind of aura of looking at the sea and the sky and having thousands of manners, Ci'an felt heart-pounding when he saw it!

In addition, what Ci'an did not find was that the Cixi in the portrait actually "grew a little taller" than herself, and some parts of her body also changed slightly-the warped ones were more warped, and the convex ones were more convex.

Also, after all, the photo is black and white, but this painting is in color!

All this made Ci'an feel, "It's even more like a photo."

Ci'an's eyes were a little inseparable from this painting, "Hey, you look really good in Xuanjun's military uniform!" It's ...... Simply ......"

After holding it for a long time, I finally came up with a suitable metaphor: "It's just ...... Well, what about Mulan! ”

In the painting, the Queen Mother wears a phoenix crown, wears a dark green Xuanjun "military uniform", pedals black lacquered soft leather boots, a gold-embroidered bordered daze, and a slender saber inlaid with gold and jade.

Without waiting for Cixi to answer, Ci'an shook his head, "Alas, no, it's Mulan...... It can't be compared! ”

paused, "Hey, you say, this phoenix crown, together with Xuanjun's military uniform, why is it so good-looking?" ”

Cixi smiled, "Sister doesn't know, when I was on the 'Champion', I didn't wear a phoenix crown - don't look at the size of the ship, up and down, if you are not careful, you have to touch an East Pearl - when I was on the ship, I wore a military hat, a military hat with a wide brim. ”

After a slight pause, "Who knew that when the painting came out, the military hat would become a phoenix crown." ”

"The phoenix crown is good!" Ci'an praised, "It's your identity, and it's good-looking!" ”

After a pause, he asked curiously, "Broad-brimmed military hat?" I haven't seen it. ”

"This is easy to do," said Cixi, "there is a jade in the palace of Guangang, take a military hat with a wide brim, and ask the queen mother to look at it." ”

Yu'er answered, and was about to go out, but Ci'an hurriedly stopped: "Don't worry, don't worry!" Later, later. ”

"Hmm...... All right. ”

After a pause, Cixi said tentatively, "Later, ask him to paint such a portrait for his sister-sister said, okay?" ”

Ci'an waved his hand again and again, "I can't!" I really put on such a military uniform, and I don't know where to put my hands! ”

"You don't have to wear a military uniform, my sister and mother are all in the world, and what you wear is a ...... of the weather."

Hmph, I don't want you to wear a military uniform yet.

"No, no!" Ci'an's face turned red, "It's so embarrassing!" ”

Cixi sneered in her heart: I don't know what is embarrassing? This sister, tossing and turning, is this little bit of a talent!

Tea was served, and the two queen mothers sat down separately.

Cixi nodded to Yu'er, "You go down." ”

Yu'er hurriedly blessed herself and withdrew.

Cixi silently thought in her heart: Today's battle, the head is off very well!

She is full of confidence in the next "battle situation".

After a moment of silence, Ci'an spoke:

"Let's go see the little official...... Good no good? ”

What the?!
