C606 Deep in the flowers

The various powers in the capital all started to move, the princes were in a meeting, Qing Liu was also discussing secretly, the empress dowagers was busy, the local daoyin was secretly connected with the capital's informants, and even the foreign citizens started to move. Under the protection of a new army, the American Minister Hua Ruohan secretly arrived at Xiao Letian's house in Flowers Lane.

This place originally belonged to one of the outer residences of the great official Fu Kang An from the year of the dryad. Slowly, it passed into the hands of the disciple from a side branch in the Fuqing.

When Ci Xi activated the change in the palace, he had ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to search the mansion. At that time, Ci Xi, the cousin sister, was already prepared to fall out with his cousin.

When Xiao Letian led the troops into the capital, all of Ci Xi's previous orders were immediately annulled. The prisoners in the heavenly prison were immediately released, and all the properties that were plundered were immediately returned. As for the people who died due to the torture, the imperial government promised to give them a compensation.

The house in Flower Lane was the first to be returned to. When Xiao Letian returned with his personal guards on horseback, Fu Hui was already waiting at the door with his old servant.

The moment Xiao Letian's team of riders appeared in the homostomia, all the servants left behind knelt down and wailed loudly, "Young master has returned to his residence … Greetings to the old master! "

Any family that had experienced such a great change would cherish their hard-earned days of peace. They knew that without their master's heaven defying skills, their family would have been defeated.

Fu Hui looked at the galloping horses, the scene in front of her eyes suddenly overlapped with the scene she saw when she first met Xiao Letian in the past two years. Two years ago, at the foot of the year, a few large horses brought Xiao Letian to her side, from that day onwards, Fu Hui's heart never left him.

The north wind, the flying snow, the warm flower room, the steaming hot pot, all these while listening to the men drink and point at the rivers and mountains, looking at the extremely handsome Xiao Letian bragging, all these scenes were something that Fu Hui would never forget.

Today, Xiao Letian had returned again. He was on the same tall horse, and in the same direction.

Xiao Letian rushed to the entrance, saw the teary Fu Hui dismount, and without saying a word, carried her in his arms. "It's been hard on you, you've really suffered …"

All of a woman's toughness would melt completely in the embrace of her lover. Fu Hui, who was enjoying a sense of security, broke down and cried.

"Why don't you bring me out with you … Why did you leave me alone at home... "Sob, sob, sob …"

Xiao Letian caressed Fu Hui's hair, counting the white hair that suddenly appeared, a burst of jealousy in her heart. The gates of the palace were still ajar and the Ministry of Internal Affairs's seals had not been completely torn off yet. They were still fluttering in the wind as the family members knelt on the ground and sobbed soundlessly.

"Alright, this grandpa has returned. Our home is safe now …" Men, go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and get everything that belongs to us back. If you are missing a single item, I will tear them down! "

A group of eunuchs ran in from the depths of the alley without waiting for the new army to make a move. When they saw Xiao Letian, they immediately kneeled down.

With a wave of his hand, the young eunuchs carried boxes in front of them to take a look. The old butler was full of energy and wanted to tell the Ministry of Internal Affairs eunuchs that he was going to scam them ruthlessly this time.

"No, that's not right. How could our Jingtai Blue vase be so small? It's at least one generation's power, could it be that you've changed hands? "

"The Semen Orientale that our young master gave to Miss has three boxes, why is there only two boxes left? "You dare to be greedy …"

When Xiao Letian and Fu Hui saw the old butler extorting the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the other eunuchs' embarrassed expressions, they both laughed out loud. "Come, let's go to the back room and see if my favorite purple sandalwood ivory bed is still there …"

Fu Hui's ears itched from Xiao Letian's blows, how could she not know what his man was thinking? With a red face, she could only secretly pinch the soft flesh on her waist.

Fortunately, most of the furniture in the house had been sealed up and kept in place. Ministry of Internal Affairs had only taken away a small piece of valuables and money, so the servants here only needed to pack up a little.

The clear-headed Xiao Letian made a set of Taiji Fist in the garden and stretched his muscles: "Men, take my invitation to the East Crossing Folk Lane to invite the American Minister Hua Ruohan, and tell him that I'll treat him to a meal … …" Damn it, the stove in the house has been turned off, go to Gemeinschaft and pay for me to order a table of noodles! "

"Yes, this old servant will do it right away!" The old butler quickly sent people to inform the Gemeinschaft. At this time, Gemeinschaft had just started her business, and Hebei's Yang Quan Ren brought a dozen waiters to cook the first roast duck in the capital.

The old butler was perplexed as well. How did the old master know of such an obscure shop? There were so many big merchants in Beijing, but wasn't he giving this small shop a name?

In the future, this small shop will become the favorite brand of the Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea, the first hot meal that the Prime Minister will bring troops to the capital will be hosted by the Gemeinschaft, they will be bragging for the rest of their lives!

Forget it, the servants cannot interfere in the old master's affairs. When Boss Yang heard that Prime Minister Xiao of the East China Sea had to eat his roast duck for the first meal, he jumped up in excitement.

"Guys, it's today to bring an entire set of stuff along with you to make a name for yourself!"

When Hua Ruohan's carriage took advantage of the darkness of the night to enter the flower alley, the kitchen was already filled with the sounds of food being cooked.

"Minister, how has it been a year since we last met?" Xiao Letian personally welcomed him outside the door.

"Xiao Letian, oh no, I should call you Prime Minister Xiao now. I really can't imagine, in the short period of two years that you have appeared in public opinion, you can actually do so many unimaginable things... You really scared me, even my heart couldn't stand it! "

"Hahaha, there will be even more surprises in the future. Please come in and I'll prepare a feast for you!"

Fried Grow Liver, Duck Silk Cooked Vegetables, Duck Oil Egg Soup, Mustard Duck Palm, Brine Duck Gizzard, Salted Duck Liver … In the end, a golden roast duck was made into 108 pieces in front of the guests. This was the rule, this was called being particular, one had to make 108 pieces or less. In the end, the duck rack would make some salt and pepper and a pot of stew. The proper whole duck feast was ready.

"I have to admit, you Chinese really know how to eat. I really don't dare to imagine how I should live after returning to China. Without so much food, my old age is bound to be very sad!"

"Isn't that simple? "Either you settle here, or you invest in a Chinese restaurant in the United States. Don't worry, we will make a joint venture and guarantee to open a place throughout the United States. You will definitely become a rich man!"

"Hahaha, I can think about it, really think about it!" Jonas turned her head and looked at the kneeling Boss Yang, "I don't have anything to give you, we can take a photo together later. If you hang it in the shop, you can tell the customers, the roast duck you made will even be eaten by foreigners and the Prime Minister!"

Boss Yang was so excited that he could no longer speak. He continuously kowtowed and retreated with his knees bit by bit. He knew that from today onwards, Gemeinschaft would flourish.

With that said, the two of them started to secretly communicate with each other. After sharing the plans of both parties, Hua Ruohan said in surprise.

"You want to return to the eight kings for negotiation? You are trying to build a Parliament of the nobility! And you want to bring Emperor Tongzhi to travel? You want to become Imperial Advisor? "

"Why did you choose to do that? Don't you have a dream of becoming an Ascendant? Do you know that you Chinese have no dream of becoming emperors yourself? "

Hearing Hua Ruohan's attempt to test him, Xiao Letian curled his lips and laughed: "Enough, stop testing me. I'm really going to rebel against you, the first one in America who doesn't agree, am I right?"

"Do you think I don't understand international law? Since the Qing Dynasty has already signed the agreement with the United States and Russia, you all have already recognized the legitimacy of the Qing Dynasty's rule. With the Qing Government, you all can continue doing big business! Britain in particular, even the Great Clear Customs Office is in control. Would they recognize my legitimacy? "

"You really want the Qing dynasty to continue living for tens of thousands of years, because you know that with the help of the Qing Government, your economic colonization plan will work …"

Hua Ruohan laughed bitterly: "Nothing can fool you, but you have wronged us, the United States. The one with the biggest interest in China is English and French Russia, and we don't have many interests in the United States, so we still hope to change it. Only by doing so can we have a chance!"

"Crafty old fox …" Xiao Letian smiled as he poured him a cup of wine, "Don't just look at how fierce I am, actually, I'm still very weak. It would be difficult for me to deal with any of the Xiang Army s who are going all out against me … Besides, I always thought being an emperor was a hard job, and only a fool would love that throne. "

"What I want is an invisible influence on this world. To be able to advance or to retreat, to be able to show off my powers, that is the way of the king!" Xiao Letian dragged her chin and thoughtfully said, "I don't want to be a saint, I just want to use my hard work to change some of the unreasonable things in this world. To be able to change and at the same time be able to live a comfortable life, that is my ultimate goal in life …"

"What an emperor or a general, those are all fake! The wind always blows away after being battered by the rain!"

The secret meeting between Xiao Letian and Hu Ruohan continued for a full four hours. When the two of them took photos with Boss Yang, it was already 3 in the morning.

Hua Ruohan promised to use his influence to unite with the Western powers, and then collectively pressure the Qing Ting to forcefully push forward Xiao Letian's plans. He understood the influence that the Western Powers had over the government of the Qing Dynasty. As long as more countries were united, the Qing Ting would have to lower her head.

Xiao Letian, on the other hand, promised to allow the American corporate sector to inject capital into the Letian Firm, but he could not take more than 30% of the shares. This was already the limit that Xiao Letian could give, he was a knowledgeable person and he knew that Xiao Letian's future goal was to turn the Letian Firm into a central bank who issues paper money.

The western consortium's eyes had long turned red.
