mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 547

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen looks fine, but his back is a bit bent.

Since the back was riddled with holes by Zhao Chuanxin, Aixinjueluo Zaizhen had only to straighten his waist at that time, and the wound on his back would faintly work.

During the healing period, due to long-term rickets, it is difficult to stand up straight after recovery.

The half-year-long torment also made his already somewhat obese body crumble.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the man in front of him strangely: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen, who was full of words but didn't know how to speak, suddenly felt that he had been stabbed in vain.

He smiled bitterly and said: "I am Zai Zhen, Mr. Zhao is a noble man who forgets things."

Zhao Chuanxin was surprised: "You succeeded in losing weight? Oh, this is really gratifying."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen: "..."

Although the Qing Dynasty did not regard fat as beautiful, it was not worth losing weight.

Banner people also have some unique ethos, for example, whoever has a dry mouth must be a poor person, and the mouths of rich and noble people are always shiny.In some bitter cold places, the silk and satin are soaked in oil and polished to show that the family is rich.

Being rich is also a kind of style.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen heard that it was difficult to breathe.

He coughed dryly: "Mr. Zhao, I am here on behalf of both the individual and the imperial court, and I am here to send you money."

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his head, a little unbelievable: "I heard it right, did you send money?"

I'm afraid this guy took the wrong medicine?
Aixinjueluo Zaizhen took out the notes from his pocket: "This is a note from the Bank of France, totaling 2 francs."

"Oh, is this from you personally, or from Cixi?" Zhao Chuanxin was delighted.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen's face straightened: "Strictly speaking, it was from the imperial court."

Zhao Chuanxin took the receipt with a smile on his face: "How can such a heavy gift be so embarrassing, really. If that's the case, I won't keep you for dinner. Now that you're going down the mountain, you can still catch the ship to Shanghai."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen listened, what the hell?

Drive people away after collecting money?

"Wait..." He hurriedly said, "Actually, I still need Mr. Zhao's help."

Zhao Chuanxin sneered in his heart, knowing that the money must not be taken for nothing.

He lay back down again, folded his legs, and didn't speak.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen bit the bullet: "At the time of the national crisis, the Portuguese and the Japanese wanted to bombard the coast with strong ships and artillery, and asked the court to arrest Mr. Zhao for ten days. Mr. Zhao is one of his own, of course. Can't be caught. Since we have a common enemy, why not both hands, sir can scuttle their ships..."

Zhao Chuanxin understood in seconds.

What kind of self-made person, Cixi probably hated him to the bone.

Cixi is self-aware, unable to catch herself, and can't afford to offend Japan and Portugal, so she wants to use money to eliminate disasters.

Zhao Chuanxin flicked his fingernails: "Oh, you don't know, it's a very difficult thing to scuttle a ship.

Moreover, the crew is now equipped with weapons, and if they detect it and attack it in groups, I can hardly resist it.

This is really dangerous. "

"..." Didn't Aixinjueluo Zaizhenxin just want to add money?He took out another bill from his pocket: "Mr. Zhao, the 1 francs came from the imperial court, and the [-] francs came from me personally."

Zhao Chuanxin took the money without hesitation: "It's easy to say, you are really generous, and you are really a role model for my generation."

I have only heard of embezzlement of public funds, but never heard of subsidies out of pocket.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen said: "To be honest, I have resigned from all positions since Yang Cuixi's incident, but I am not reconciled to this."

This is to buy fame with money.

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly showed a meaningful smile: "Very well, this kind of self-sacrificing spirit should be known to Cixi."

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen didn't want to understand what Zhao Chuanxin wanted to express.

There were no outsiders at the scene, and he revealed to Zhao Chuanxin that he wanted to endorse himself after returning home, in case Zhao Chuanxin would not refute the news and cause trouble.

This is very important.

He knew that Zhao Chuanxin was very greedy, and Cixi's abacus was clanging again, so he prepared the money in advance.

After speaking, Aixinjueluo Zaizhen stood up and said goodbye.

Zhao Chuanxin lay down and said: "Oh, Mr. Zhao has bad legs and feet, so I won't see you off. Goodbye."

"..."

Seeing the stranger leave, a group of snot-nosed kids all gathered around: "Uncle, did he bring something to eat?"

This is already the norm.

"No, he just brought a few pieces of paper."

"Huh?" A group of children were disappointed: "You're really stingy."

Zhao Chuanxin grinned.

That's worth more than a gift.

He got up and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the fair to buy food."

The snot baby was suddenly excited and led the way.

Follow the path towards Guanyin Temple.

A snot-nosed child pointed to the tree and said, "Uncle, look, there is a monkey there."

Zhao Chuanxin looked over and saw a black-haired gibbon hanging on a tree, looking curiously at it.

The fur on its back is particularly long.

This gibbon has become extinct by the 21st century.

Zhao Chuanxin waved towards the tree.

Surprisingly, the black-backed ape also imitated waving at him, looking very smart.

Zhao Chuanxin came under the tree, looked up, and happened to meet its gaze.

A snot-nosed kid said, "Uncle, I'll go up and catch it for you."

Another girl with a round face, who was almost in junior high school in the 21st century, said crisply: "Don't brag, monkeys are better than you."

"Xian Yuqing, you know nothing."

Xian Yuqing pinched his waist with both hands: "I know a lot."

At first, Zhao Chuanxin's snot-nosed dolls team consisted of only male dolls, and then gradually female dolls joined.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "Don't make a fuss, see Uncle catch it for you."

He took a few steps back, stepped forward, stepped on the tree trunk, and climbed up the slope. After three steps, he pulled a handful of branches to help him, and the smart gyroscope took him up.

His speed was extremely fast, and he arrived at the position of the black-backed ape in no time.

The black-backed ape was startled, and climbed up the trunk with a pull-up, trying to escape.

However, Zhao Chuanxin's agility is not inferior to the ape's. He twisted his waist and abdomen in the air, twisted like a spring, and then recovered again. With his long arms stretched, he grabbed the soft fur of the back neck of the black-backed ape, and sat on the thickest one by the way. knot on the trunk.

Under the tree, a group of snot-nosed children were stunned.

Xian Yuqing blinked and blinked: "Wow, Uncle is stronger than a monkey."

The snot-nosed baby next to him who was just refuted by Xian Yuqing rolled his eyes, pointed at her and said, "Xian Yuqing, you call uncle like a monkey, I will complain to uncle later."

Xian Yuqing stomped his feet: "Don't slander people."

Zhao Chuanxin heard it clearly from the tree, he couldn't help smiling, pulled the back of the black-backed ape's neck, and stared at it.

The black-backed ape is not big, weighing less than twenty catties in total, and less than half a meter long.

Its hair is short and fluffy, and there is a jet-black shiny black line on the back, and the rest is actually dark brown.

The small eyes are round, and the crested hair on the top of the head looks like the head of an airplane.

He looks very cute and well-behaved, and has a weird elf look. Being caught by Zhao Chuanxin, he didn't mean to hurt anyone.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a piece of candy and handed it to it.

It blinked, took it with its paws, and licked it with its tongue.

His eyes widened involuntarily, looking very surprised.

Zhao Chuanxin pulled it into his arms and sat on his lap.

The little guy grabbed the sugar ball, licked it, and glanced at Zhao Chuanxin, his eyes were very agile.

Zhao Chuanxin took a piece of sugar ball, stuffed it into his mouth, puffed up his cheeks, and then gave it a demonstration.

The little guy thought about it, and did as he learned.

Not to mention, except for the absence of chirping sounds, it looks the same as Zhao Chuanxin.

A group of snot-nosed kids below looked at it hotly and clamored, "Uncle, take it down."

Zhao Chuanxin happily put the black-backed ape on the tree trunk, and jumped down first.

Then he took out a sugar ball and waved under the tree.

The black-backed ape climbed back and forth on the tree trunk and kept looking down.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "You guys go back a little bit."

After the snot-nosed babies took a few steps back, the black-backed ape nimbly grasped the branches and swung down again and again.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed it and hung it on his arm.

Pass it another candy ball by the way.

He took out his camera and put it on, saying, "Whoever can take a picture, take one for me."

The snot-nosed babies looked at each other.

"What is this?"

"Looks like fun."

But no one said anything.

Xian Yuqing volunteered: "Uncle, let me try."

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the little girl with admiration.

He showed her how to look at the camera and how to adjust the angle of the picture: "Look here, put the midline between me and the monkey in one third of the picture, and our heads should be in the upper and lower thirds ..."

He also took out a pen and paper, roughly outlined the outlines of humans and monkeys, and drew a nine-square grid, which is actually the golden section line between left and right and up and down.

Xian Yuqing was very clever and said, "Uncle, I understand."

Zhao Chuanxin tilted his head slightly and lowered his head slightly. Hanging behind him, the black-backed ape clinging to his shoulders was playing with sugar balls.

Zhao Chuanxin stretched out his hand to grab it, and the black-backed ape looked at him in surprise.

Right at this moment, Kacha...

Xian Yuqing pressed the shutter.

She jumped up excitedly: "Uncle, I'm good at taking pictures. Uncle, I will also learn to draw and take pictures in the future..."

Today's photoshoot experience is something she will never forget in her life.

It turns out that there are so many skills in composition, a higher score is too much, and a lower score is too little.

She has seen other people take pictures, and this is the first time she has done it herself, and it feels amazing.

Snot-nosed baby said: "Girl, what kind of talent are you?"

Xian Yuqing ignored him, but looked at Zhao Chuanxin eagerly, waiting for him to speak.

Zhao Chuanxin cheerfully encouraged: "Okay, then there will be one more female talent in China. It is good to know everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, just like a friend of mine, his name is Li Shutong. In the future, you will strive to be a female version Li Shutong."

But he didn't know that today's word would become a prophecy.

This little girl was originally a talented woman in history. With today's photoshoot experience, she will be even more amazing in the future. Not only have she become close friends with Chen Yanke and others, Xian Xinghai and Liang Yusheng, who wrote martial arts novels, are all her students. Became a famous painter and photographer...

Xian Yuqing was very excited after hearing this: "Thank you Uncle, Uncle, can you take a picture for me too?"

Zhao Chuanxin took off the black-backed ape, and Xian Yuqing hugged it with difficulty.

Zhao Chuanxin said: "You squat on the ground and fight with it."

Xian Yuqing did as he did. Although the black-backed ape was not afraid of Xian Yuqing, he hated to have sex with her. When it turned its head to face the camera in disgust, Zhao Chuanxin snapped a photo instantly.

click...

Zhao Chuanxin was very satisfied: "Yes, I will give it to you when the photo is developed."

The rest of the snot-nosed babies heard: "Uncle, we also want to take pictures..."

Zhao Chuanxin said: "That's okay, you stand at the back according to your size, Xian Yuqing, you will maintain order, and the black-backed ape sits at the front..."

Another piece of sugar ball was given, and the black-backed ape obediently obeyed.

Zhao Chuanxin took a big group photo for them.

"Okay, let's go to the market to buy food."

Zhao Chuanxin hung the black-backed ape on the tree again, holding the branch with one paw and the sugar ball with the other paw, and watched everyone go away.

With this episode, the snot-nosed kids are especially excited.

In fact, there are very few things in the market.

The snacks that these children linger on are nothing more than snacks such as sugar cane, mung bean cakes, egg tarts and peanut candies.

Zhao Chuanxin is not stingy, but he is also restrained: "Each person can only buy one, and will not pay if there are too many."

The rarer it is, the more precious it becomes.

So, a group of children started biting their fingers, drooling and thinking about what they wanted.

Zhao Chuanxin let them think about it, while he walked around with his hands behind his back.

He stopped in front of a booth, pointed to the gray leather jacket on the booth and asked, "What is this?"

The stall owner said: "This is shark skin, do you want to buy it? I can make it for you. It's very warm..."
