Chapter 371

Before receiving the decree to enter Beijing, these foreign missionaries were not allowed to leave the Guangzhou mansion for half a step, and the Thirteen Lines was where they rested and studied.

The Thirteen-Hing Yi Pavilion, located in the commercial area, corresponds to the Thirteen-Hang Commercial Pavilion, and it is a place for foreigners to live and live.

The Shisanhang block is also a gathering place where cultures from various countries collide with each other.

The storehouses and workshops here are dotted with skillful craftsmen.

Most of the top talents among them were recommended into the palace and became skilled craftsmen.

A few days ago, two young couples moved in at the end of Tianshui Lane, one surnamed Li and the other surnamed Lan.

Both of them were soldiers from the Green Camp of the Qing Dynasty who were in charge of managing and checking the goods brought in and out of the Thirteen Lines and foreigners.

The women of the two families are cousins, so the men of the two families are considered brothers-in-law.

At the entrance of the alley, Yue Zhongqi was carrying two jars of good wine at this time, and it was a little difficult to walk.

Most of the children of these banner families are ignorant, and now that these two are assigned to his command, it may be difficult to restrain them.

As their nominal superior, he still had to put on a show and visit the two newcomers as usual.

In the small courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles, both Zhang Tingyu and Lan Qier are people who don't know what to do, and they don't know anything about cooking.

So the cooking all fell on Li Jingui and fourth master.

After all, it was inappropriate to let Master Baylor cook, so Zhang Tingyu apologized and squatted by the well to pick leaves.

And Lan Qier was sitting by the well with a big mallet to wash clothes.

"What's for lunch? Let me tell you that I can't eat without meat!"

"Yes, braised sea bass and pork knuckle in rock sugar are enough for you to eat. You can wash your clothes and hang them out."

At this time, Li Jingui was chopping vegetables swiftly, while Yinzhen was cooking by the stove with his sleeves on.

At the time of the fire in July, he was already sweating all over his face.

Fourth master is so elegant and calm in cooking, and in a smooth flow, a plate of braised prawns is ready.

At this time, Li Jingui, who had cut the side dishes, was standing by the stove, looking at the plate of prawns with bright eyes.

She stretched out a hand, and quietly picked up a fat prawn with her bare hands, hiss!So hot!
Although she hopped her feet in the heat, she still held onto the prawn foolishly and did not let go.

"Bullshit!"

Yinzhen swung the chopsticks to push the prawn away from his hand, and then snatched her fingers to breathe out for her.

This greedy cat has blisters on his fingers.

"Lan San, is Li Si at home?"

Li Jingui subconsciously wanted to respond to the other party, but suddenly remembered that the one holding the title of Li Si is the fourth master, and the one holding the title of Lan San is Zhang Tingyu.

She is Li Si's daughter-in-law Jin, and Lan Qier is Lan San's daughter-in-law Zhang.

Aixinjueluo is the surname of the Qing royal family."Aixin" in Manchu means gold.

Since fourth master named her Li surname, then she can only use fourth master's surname.

And Lan Qi'er is Zhang Tingyu's daughter-in-law, so her surname is naturally Zhang's.

Yinzhen always felt that Li Si's name was vulgar, and when he heard someone call this name at the door, he frowned in frustration, but he refused to respond in his heart.

"exist"

In the end, all the depression can only be aggrieved into one word.

"Which one are you looking for? Next is Lan San."

Zhang Tingyu didn't care about this, but asked the man standing outside the fence modestly.

"My subordinate, Yue Zhongqi, from now on, the two of you and this subordinate will be colleagues."

This is Yue Zhongqi in front of me?

Before coming, Fourth Master specially investigated the thousand Green Battalion soldiers stationed at the treaty port, and finally singled out Yue Zhongqi as their superior.
