The Princess of Fortune in Qing Dynasty

The envoys of various countries are arranged in the headquarters of the Royal Inn in the capital. The envoys of each country have an independent five-story garden-style building. The building is exquisite and beautiful, and the inside is still warm.

Looking at the admiring eyes of a group of people, the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother looked at each other, and both of them puffed out their chests very proudly.The third elder brother said: "I made everyone laugh, Khan Ama didn't expect you to come, and I didn't prepare well."

The eighth elder brother nodded seriously, "Indeed, it's still a bit cold here. I'll tell them next year that it's better to have floor heating in the inn."

They were obviously proud of themselves, but the two elder brothers still looked like this on the surface.

The winter in the capital is extremely cold. Although it doesn't sound good to say this, the fact is that the property copied from the Wa Kingdom and the Cao and Li families this year really made the Qing Dynasty have a good year.

The national treasury was full, and Kangxi finally had time to enjoy it. It just so happened that he divided up the state affairs again, and stayed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation to ponder the system when he had nothing to do.Let alone let him find something that can be easily researched at this stage and does not cost much money.

Radiator

After the radiator was developed, he immediately asked people to try it in the Royal Inn, and the effect was very good.In the past, a charcoal basin was placed in the house, and two thick quilts were wrapped in two thick quilts when sleeping at night, and the whole person shivered under the quilts.Now that the heating is installed, the consumption of charcoal fire is reduced, the room is hotter, and I can sleep soundly at night.

The most important thing is to install the heater, even if it costs an extra five cents and one tael of silver a night, others will not care, and the income will increase a lot.

It was also a coincidence that these envoys came here. If they had come over last year, the third elder brother and the eighth elder brother could not pretend to be like this.

Radiators are not available in Great Britain, which claims to be superior to others, let alone Tsarist Russia, which is extremely cold all year round.

The tsar spoke in Manchu which was not fluent and said: "My lord, is there any possibility for us to cooperate on this heating?" After staying here for one night, the tsar wished he could stay here and never go back. It was too warm.

Tsarist Russia is located in the north. As soon as October arrived, I put on leather clothes. In December, I wrapped myself in three layers and three layers, but I still dare not go out of the house.They spent most of the year indoors, which was colder than Shengjing in the Qing Dynasty.

It's good now, I'm sweating with only a thick coat on my body, it's not too comfortable.

"Cooperation? Of course we can cooperate. The Qing Dynasty is the most hospitable. We welcome all businessmen who are willing to do business, including friends from Tsarist Russia." I don't know if it was influenced by the ninth elder brother, but the third elder brother was very happy when he heard this. , He even wanted to drag the Tsar to Lao Jiu to negotiate a deal on the spot.

The radiator is actually not difficult to learn. You can learn how to build it after you buy a set and take it apart.To put it bluntly, it was a one-shot deal. Of course, he wanted to sell some before the other party studied it, and the more the better.

The eighth elder brother interrupted them with his hand, "Hey, His Majesty the Tsar, we are playing for fun now, not talking about business. In our Qing Dynasty, we had to have a good time playing. If His Majesty the Tsar is still interested in this heating when he leaves, when the time comes It’s not too late to send someone special to talk.”

Looking at the third brother's appearance, he knew that he had never done business.There is no rush to do business, so it will definitely not be sold at a good price.What is anxious now is that the tsar is not them, and they naturally have to behave as plainly as possible.

As for whether the tsar will come up with research, there is no such thing.Ba Age is very confident in his own technology.

The third elder brother is not stupid and quickly reacted, "That's right, our Qing Dynasty has a clear job, like me, I am only responsible for entertaining foreign guests, and someone else is responsible for business matters." Turning around, he asked someone to come to Xiaojiu's house to say this For this matter, Xiao Jiu has to peel off a few layers of skin from the other party.

"I'm more interested in your building, it's very strong." It can be seen that this building refers to some of their western designs, but it is different from them.He knew that the Qing Dynasty would build something called blue bricks, and he had seen many buildings made of blue bricks and red tiles along the way.It's just that this inn is obviously not blue bricks and red tiles. He doesn't know exactly what material it is because there is a layer of colored paint on the outside.

The third elder brother gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Wensen has good eyesight, our house is nothing but solid. It was originally a house for the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty. You also know that the soldiers are dishonest and often practice against each other. Sometimes I practice firecrackers, wouldn’t it be troublesome if they were not strong enough to blow them apart accidentally?”

"It's a pity that such a good house is only for soldiers to live in?" The speaker was a Duchess Maria from Great Britain.

Maria really didn't understand the thinking of the Qing Dynasty. Commoners lived in mud houses, soldiers lived in beautiful buildings, while officials and gentry in the Qing Dynasty lived in buildings with green bricks and green tiles.

"How can it be a pity, Miss Maria. It is the duty of soldiers to defend their homes and the country. They have paid a lot for the Qing Dynasty, and they deserve the respect of the people of the Qing Dynasty. They deserve it." A woman came, if he knew, he would not take this job.He is not good at dealing with women.

I still remember when we first met, I learned that the Qing Dynasty was all men, what did this group of people say.If it wasn't for the eighth boy who pissed them off, saying that it wasn't that the Qing Dynasty didn't respect women, but that they weren't qualified to let women come forward, the third child would have started fighting with them long ago.This group of people looked at them as if they were looking at something dirty, which made him very uncomfortable.

"Actually, we came here today mainly to convey the will of Khan Ama. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Khan Ama held a banquet in the palace and invited everyone to attend. The eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is also known as the Laba Festival. Every household will drink Laba porridge at that time. When the time comes, everyone can taste it too.”

Today is the sixth day of the lunar new year, and Laba is the day after tomorrow.

If it weren't for the purpose of conveying this purpose, who in the winter would want to run outside and be unhappy in their own bed?

The envoys from all over the world were pleasantly surprised. They traveled thousands of miles to the Qing Dynasty, and met His Majesty the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty the day after they arrived. The highest ranks they have seen so far are the two elder brothers in front of them. Don't worry! Speaking of the emperor, even the prince, they have never seen him.Do you really think they came here for fun?

Without seeing the emperor, many words are difficult to say, and the meaning of coming from afar this time is lost.

Now that the emperor of the Qing Dynasty finally spoke, how could they be unhappy.

&&

"Emiang, didn't you say that you're going to meet some foreign envoy today? Why don't you leave? I've packed everything up." An He was so excited that he didn't sleep all night when he heard that he was going to meet a foreigner. He woke up this morning on purpose. It was early in the morning.Who knows what time it is, her mother has no intention of leaving at all.

Could it be that they didn't have their share?

It shouldn't be, but she overheard Ama tell Er Niang last night, asking Er Niang to give those foreign women a blow.

Shiliu tidied up the clothes for the younger ones, then looked at the anxious daughter, and stretched out her hands to straighten her braids. "What's the rush? We have special identities, so we naturally have to wait until the finale."

This time the meeting with the female relatives was specially arranged in the palace of Concubine Niu Hulu, and they were not even allowed to enter the door of the Palace of Compassion, which shows the emperor's attitude towards these foreign envoys.As the family of the future emperor, she naturally had to treat them as contemptuously as possible.

Who asked the prince to tell her that there is a shadow of Great Britain behind the opium that was detected in Guangzhou last time.In the West, they will fight there sooner or later.Since they are destined to be enemies sooner or later, why give them face?

Besides Tsarist Russia, they were not afraid of it before, but now they are even more so.Before there were no foreign guns and cannons, Khan Ama was able to repel Tsarist Russia, but now the strength of the Qing Dynasty is greater than before, and only Tsarist Russia is afraid of them.

An He seems to understand but doesn't understand, isn't she just pretending to be noble, she knows this question.She might not be able to do anything else, it's not easy to pretend to be arrogant.The eldest granddaughter of Prince Gong's mansion, her cousin looked at people with her nostrils all day long, and the third aunt said she was arrogant.Although she didn't like her before, it doesn't hurt to learn from her occasionally.

In fact, An He was not very interested in these foreigners, mainly because she heard from Hong Yu that these people had bad ideas and wanted to marry Sister Mo Yaqi.She An He is a good sister, her sister was too scared to leave the house, she was going to avenge her sister and trouble them.

Shiliu didn't know An He's careful thinking, and after packing up, she took An He and the quadruplets to the harem.She first entrusted the quadruplets to the Empress Dowager.

"The old ancestor is going to trouble you again today."

The empress dowager and the empress dowager have been waiting for her for a long time, and they pretended to be unhappy when they heard this, "What did you say, we are too happy to be able to play with the quadruplets. Okay, don't be polite to us, Hurry up. The Ai family heard that those foreigners are very proud, and you just played off their vigor in the past."

On the day when the foreign envoys came, the Empress Dowager met with her out of politeness, but this left a bad impression on her.Everything else is fine, at least it’s okay to wear, the woman from Great Britain is wearing something with white flowers on her chest.As long as he thought of her going to see the emperor and many elder brothers in this way, he would feel dizzy before his eyes.

There is also the meeting ceremony. Others kneel on the ground according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, and those kings kneel on one knee even if they don't all kneel.where are they?Bow down and salute.

Now the empress dowager was even more dissatisfied, so she directly refused to meet this time.

An He waved his small fist, "Don't worry, ancestor, An He will definitely not embarrass us Qing Dynasty."

"Hey, our Anhe is really ambitious, and he is a good guy." The Empress Dowager said happily, stroking Anhe's head.

The other party also has a child here this time, but no matter how you look at it, it is not as safe and cute as their home.

Shiliu brings An He to the Changchun Palace where Noble Concubine Niu Hulu lived. At this time, Concubine Yi, Concubine Rong, Concubine Hui and the princes Fujin all arrived in the Palace of Concubine Niu Hulu.

The noble concubine is the highest in the harem, so it is appropriate for her to receive foreign envoys. The other three concubines and Prince Fujin are mainly out of curiosity.Da Fujin and Concubine Hui even came to inquire about the news, because they were afraid that these people would really want to marry their family, Mo Yaqi.

"Greetings to the princess."

As soon as Pomegranate arrived, the imperial concubine began to pay respects politely.This is usually not the case, not that the imperial concubine does not pay attention to rules, but that they have a good relationship, and they do not pay attention to these things when they get along on weekdays.

Today is different, the imperial concubine did it deliberately for the other party to see.

When Pomegranate was seated, Maria said, "I wanted to ask a long time ago, why do you have to kneel and kneel in the Qing Dynasty?" How is it like them, where only slaves kneel, they are all nobles .

A word makes the room unusually quiet.

Pomegranate chuckled, she casually looked at the bright red nail cover on her hand, then put her hands down, "What am I doing, it turned out to be this. It's very simple, because our people in the Qing Dynasty are grateful to the emperor. Xinsheng It is natural to express awe. Our Qing Dynasty has a hierarchy just like you, and it has been passed down like this over time."

"Actually, I also have a question I want to ask Duke Maria. I heard that the life of your slaves in Great Britain is like pigs and dogs. I am very curious about what makes your queen's heart? God has the virtue of being good at life. Your missionaries come here The Qing Dynasty has always preached benevolence and benevolence. Why, slaves are not human beings, so they are not within the scope of your benevolence? Or is your benevolence and benevolence divided into three or six grades, which are only useful to nobles?"

It's not like Pomegranate was slapped in the face and didn't know how to fight back, and it's not like she didn't see the disdain in Maria's eyes.The Qing Dynasty kneels down at every turn, but it is also better than their Great Britain.The servants on my side can at least have enough food and clothing and have money to pay for them. As for them, they do the hardest and most tiring work. What they eat is really black corn buns.That treatment is not as good as their prisoners.

Just like that, those missionaries came to the Qing Dynasty to boast that their Lord loves the world and all living beings are equal.

Hehe, hypocrisy.

Maria's face was ugly, she stood up and said angrily, "Please don't insult our Lord?"

Sa Ren sneered, "Oh, this is called insulting? Could it be that what the princess said is wrong? Don't your slaves work in shackles and don't give you food? You Westerners are really hypocritical. Dare to admit it. I tell you this is not good, we have to seek truth from facts as human beings."

Sa Ren has long disliked the other party, who is he trying to seduce by dressing like that?

As long as she thinks that the third elder brother may look straight at each other, she will be jealous.

The lady who came over from Tsarist Russia echoed: "This princess is right, a person should be honest. Like us Tsarist Russia, we never lie to our friends."

Pomegranate smiled approvingly.

Then she said to Maria: "Duke Maria, why should you be angry? You see, you asked me a question, but I didn't get angry. I heard that Great Britain is a big country in the west. As a big country, we must be magnanimous. You like this , If it spreads out, others would think that the royal family of Great Britain is such a fussy villain."

Concubine Niu Hulu and the others just felt relieved. The duchess was very unfriendly just now, and she came up and asked questions such as 'why women in the Qing Dynasty can't be officials. I heard that women in the Qing Dynasty can only stay at home' and other questions.And what they say is very contemptuous of them as the emperor's concubine but can only be trapped in this harem.
