Ren Yuer was very busy. She got up as soon as it dawn to wash and eat, then changed into the clothes of a foreign woman, and took the little girl Lian'er to a girl school run by a missionary in the United States to study.

The concession was mixed with fish and dragons. The head of the Sichuan Guild Hall was worried that something would happen to them, so he asked two friends to escort them all the way every day.

Although there were two mates guarding him, as soon as the carriage drove out of the alley, it was surrounded by a group of wild children who didn't know where they came from, chasing them and even blocking them to ask for money. Ren Yuer asked Lian'er to throw a copper plate out of the carriage as usual. The wild children didn't care about chasing them anymore and immediately started snatching them.

Those who grabbed the money happily took it to buy food, while those who didn't grab it were cursing at the carriage that had already driven away, and even spitting. They could vaguely hear that they were calling Ren Yuer a shameless woman and a fake foreign woman!

Yu Sangu stood on the terrace on the second floor and looked sad, and tears burst out from her eyes.

Yu Qinghuai stood at the entrance of the alley thinking, and was silent for a while before sighing: "Why is she doing this?"

Su Jueming was not surprised at all and bowed and said, "Mr. Yu, I have nothing to do today. I will accompany you to visit the Shili foreign market first. I have sent someone to report to Mr. Zhou, but I don't know whether he is in the city or in the Lika on Fengxian's side. If he knew you were here, he would be very happy and would send someone to invite you to the county town to reminisce."

Since we are here, we will naturally visit Zhou Xingyuan, who was staying at Wanfu Bridge together.

However, Yu Qinghuai was not thinking about visiting his friends at this moment, and couldn't help asking: "Jueming, although this is a foreign concession, the people in the concession stay away from foreigners. Yu'er went to a girl's school run by foreigners, and even dressed in foreigners' clothes to interact with foreigners. She was always so arrogant, wouldn't it be a big deal, right?"

"You can rest assured that she and Lian'er will have nothing to do."

"You didn't see it just now, why wouldn't there be any trouble?"

"You mean those wild kids who are not disciplined. They just want to ask for some money, but they won't dare to be really wild. Moreover, the two brothers who escorted her and Lian'er to the girls' school are not ordinary friends, including Liu Zhengshi and Lao Qian, the concierge of the guild. It turns out that they were both in Xuefutai, Liu Futai and Hutitai, who worked under the Green Camp, even Qian Zheng, and even Changmao, who even killed Changmao, so how could they be afraid of a bunch of little bastards?"

"Since they are military officers in the Green Camp, why don't they go to the front of the formation?" Yu Qinghuai asked in confusion.

Su Jueming smiled and explained: "They were injured when they were attacking Shanghai County. The camp lacked medical treatment and medicine. If they were allowed to stay in the camp, they would have to die. The Fourth Master thought that they were all fellow Sichuan people, so he brought them to the guild hall to ask doctors and even foreign doctors to help with the treatment. I don't know if they don't want to fight again or want to repay the Fourth Master for saving his life. After the injury was recovered, they stayed in the guild hall. Now they just let Miss Ren go everything. After all, Miss Ren is the fourth Master's sister."

"So Yu'er really helped the Fourth Master lead the family in Shanghai?"

"Yes, everyone in the guild now calls her aunt." Su Jueming smiled and said, "Lan Weiwen's Taoist stand is actually a nursing staff. He was originally an alternate prefect. His previous Taoist surname was Zhao Dezhe. He was born as a Jinshi. Seeing that Miss Ren always showed up in public and even went to the consulates of foreigners, he didn't like it anyway. It was said that he planned to impeach the clerk, but he was persuaded by his friends."

"It's all alarmed the dock!"

"Shanghai is so big, and as long as there is something happening, it will be well-known."

Thinking that most of the local gentry would dislike Ren Yu'er like Zhao Dezhe, Yu Qinghuai stared at him and asked, "People's words are terrifying, why don't you persuade her?"

"Master Yu, you can rest assured that Miss Ren is really fine. Think about it, her father died in the country, and she was alone in Shanghai, and she was not a court official. If anyone makes things difficult for her, she will bully her. If it spreads, it will be laughed at."

"You just don't worry about impeaching the Fourth Master with this?"

"After all, my sister is not my own sister. The Fourth Master considers her to be a sister and pity her. Besides, the Fourth Master is now far away in his hometown in Sichuan. Ding You can't control her. If anyone wants to borrow this article to be the Fourth Master, he will be ridiculed. Anyway, Miss Ren is now without any taboos, at least no one in Shanghai dares to bully her."

"Where are foreigners?"

"Western people don't know how good she is. She and Ms. Grande, the wife of Citi, who preached Tubizhiwen, are not sure how good she is. She recognizes many wives and ladies of foreign merchants. The Citi consulate invites her every time she holds a dance party. The English and French consulates sometimes invite her. In the eyes of foreigners, our little aunt is the most reasonable official lady in the Qing Dynasty. Some foreigners even take pride in recognizing her or being able to invite her."

"Foreigners value her very much?" Yu Qinghuai felt a little incredible.

Su Jueming also didn't expect that things would develop like this. While accompanying Yu Qinghuai towards the Bund, he smiled bitterly: "Foreigners like to be lively. They invite friends to have afternoon tea almost every day. Every night, they take turns to have dinner and drink, and they start playing music and dancing. And foreigners like to compete. If others don't have our aunt, you will feel very embarrassed. There are only a few officials in Shanghai who are appointed by the court. Other officials do not go out on the door and can't even invite other officials. So our aunt is not very popular among foreigners. In the words of foreigners, this is social."

"Social... I think it's promiscuous to foreigners!"

"I won't talk about this anymore. The pastry restaurant made in front of me is good. I'll accompany you to try it."

...

Yu Qinghuai racked his brains and couldn't figure out why Ren Yuer, who came from a scholarly family, wanted to give full play to the most precious reputation of a woman to socialize with foreigners. In fact, Ren Yuer's efforts were not in vain. Not only did the foreman, Wen Qing, the Minister of Military Affairs, know that there was such a strange woman, but even the emperor knew that the most secret feelings in the past six months were all found by her in the tiger's den!

I only knew before that the two British and Buddhist barbarians fought against Russian barbarians in a place called Crimea. As for why they started, how did they fight? Because there was too little information that could be collected, I couldn't tell them.

As more and more news comes, the context of this battle is becoming clearer and clearer.

For this reason, Wen Xiang specially asked Wang Naiteng and Qingxian to help draft a memorial and made a special trip to the Old Summer Palace to hand over the sign to ask for a visit. However, the emperor seemed not interested in this, and after listening to it for a while, he seemed a little impatient.

Wen Xiang hurriedly said: "I just received the urgent report from the Shanghai branch at noon yesterday. It has been confirmed that the Russian and Japanese barbarians can no longer fight. I have asked for peace from the British and Buddhist barbarians and signed a peace agreement in Paris, the capital of Foyi. In this battle, the Russian barbarians were killed and injured more than 520,000 soldiers, and nearly 100,000 soldiers were killed and injured in Turkey. More than 95,000 soldiers were injured in Foyi. The British barbarians were killed and injured in 100,000, and countless money and food were consumed!"

Russia actually made peace, Xianfeng felt very uncomfortable. He was silent for a while before he said coldly: "War of war is not a dead person."

"The emperor said, the slaves also found out that the Russian and Japanese lost this battle and were not unfairly accused."

"How do you say this?"

"Because in this battle, the two British and Buddhist soldiers used a new type of firecracker gun. The servant ordered Xin'an to get a few shots. It was indeed very different from the previous firecracker. The barrel was carved with rifles and the lead was also specially made. Not only could it be shot far, but it was also accurate."

Wen Xiang looked up and said carefully: "In addition, most of the gunships of the Russian and Japanese were old sailboats, and they depended on the wind direction regardless of advancement and retreat. The British and Buddhists sent out multiple steam gunships, and they did not need to rely on the wind to advance and retreat, and the Russian and Japanese navy had no power to fight back. In addition, the British and Buddhists used an artifact called a telegraph machine to issue orders. No matter how far away the general was from the formation, they could order the battalions to respond instantly through the telegraph machine."

"What exactly is this telegraph machine?" Xianfeng asked subconsciously.

Wen Xiang hurriedly said, "I have never seen a me before. I am trying to find a way to see if I can find one for the emperor to view as soon as possible."

Prince Zheng Duanhua, who was standing aside, couldn't help but ask: "No matter how far away, you can deliver messages, and in an instant?"

"Report to the prince, that's right."

"Your Majesty, I think this thing is ominous. I guess the foreign devil must have used some magic to control the ghosts of the ghosts to convey messages, otherwise how could it be so fast!"

Xianfeng felt that Duan Hua's words made sense, so he looked up and said, "If things are abnormal, they will be a monster. Since this thing is not auspicious, there is no need to offer it."

Wen Xiang regretted it too much and thought that he had known that Prince Zheng was here, so he shouldn't have handed over a sign to ask for a meeting today. When he saw the emperor's words, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Yeah!"

Xianfeng was not interested in telegraph machines, and just wanted to know whether the two British and Buddhist barbarians would go to war with the Qing Dynasty. He asked with a gloomy face: "How many soldiers are there in Hong Kong, Xiamen, Shanghai and other places?"

"Report to the emperor, as of the eighth day of this month, there were 700 barbarian soldiers in Hong Kong, three warships, and more than 1,300 British barbarians; there were 1 warships in Xiamen and 72 barbarians; there were neither barbarian soldiers nor warships in Fuzhou and Ningbo; there were 4 barbarian soldiers in Shanghai, and 428 barbarians, and the Western barbarians summoned a foreign gun team run by foreign merchants and expatriates in total. However, as far as the slaves knew, the barbarian chief Bao Ling had requested his court to go to our Qing Dynasty to increase his troops."

"Kneel down and take care of yourself after you go back, and report it in time if there is any movement."

"Yeah!"

As soon as Wen Xiang bowed and left the hall, Prince Zheng Duanhua smiled and said, "Emperor, the British land is 108,000 miles away from our Qing Dynasty. It is not so easy to increase troops. I think I don't have to worry about this."

Thinking that Ying and Buddha and others didn't have many soldiers in the Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng stood up and sighed: "Wenxiang's job was done well. Han Si really made the right report when he returned to his hometown. But Han Si was too unconscienced. He knew that I was at the time of hiring people, and he actually reported that 'I dare not obey the imperial edict in the midst of decline and weakness'. Just think about it!"

Prince Zheng Duanhua always believed that Han Si was the one of his younger brother Sushun, and hurriedly said, "The emperor calmed down. It was understandable that Han Si would not obey the order. To talk about the holy family, Li Guangdi's holy family was long. In the 33rd year of Kangxi, he served as the Minister of War and was appointed as the Minister of War and the Admiral Shuntian to study politics. When he was mourning by his mother, he was "taken away" by Emperor Kangxi. Later, he took leave to return to his hometown for funerals for nine months, and Emperor Kangxi did not agree.

As a result, he was attacked by Han Zhan Kedao, impeached him for his daily practice of practicing Mind, but it was contrary to ethical in the matter of filial piety. He impeached him to be "greedy and obscene" and "sly and cunning". Seeing that he was involved in a lot, he could only get rid of him. Even Li Guangdi ended up like this, let alone he was a donor-giving person?"

Xianfeng said hatefully: "It's really better to succeed than to lose things!"

How could Prince Zheng Duanhua not know that the censors the emperor said, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then bowed and said, "Emperor, although Han Si was in the hometown, his sister was still serving the court. As far as I know, his sister was born in a family of officials and had read books of sages since she was a child, so how could she not care about her reputation? But she still went deep into the tiger's den without hesitation and inquire about the feelings of the barbarians. As the saying goes, women are not as good as men."

"Well, I have heard Wenxiang say," Xianfeng weighed the pros and cons, then turned around and said, "Didn't her father die for the country? He posthumously awarded his father as a Fengzhi doctor, and awarded his mother a fifth rank. He respected his brother as a prison student when he became an adult, and the candidate expired!"

"The emperor is kind and the emperor is wise."

"She is also a poor person, with no father or mother, and she met such a cruel brother like Han Si. She really met someone wrong."

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, this matter has nothing to do with Han Si..."
