Birds of a feather flock together! Foreigners live in the Sijiu City and like to gather together!

Since the Second Opium War, foreigners have obtained the right to build an embassy, ​​and Dongjiaomin Lane has gradually become the base camp of foreigners in the capital.

Throughout the late Qing Dynasty, the foreign residential areas in Dongjiaomin Lane were expanding year by year. At the beginning, only embassies of Britain, France, the United States and Russia existed.

Germany was established after the Franco-Prussian War. Emperor Tongzhi had already ordered Beijing to quickly prepare for the establishment of diplomatic relations with Germany. The foundation of the German embassy has been explored and the house is under renovation.

As for the embassies in Italy, Austria, Spain and other countries, there is no amount of foundation at this moment!

The British embassy has the largest area, but it is also surrounded by the imperial court. To the north of the embassy are the Hanlin Academy and the Luanjiaku, to the west are the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works, to the east are the Prince Su's Mansion, and to the south are the Tsarist Russian Embassy.

To the west of the Tsarist Russian embassy is the Honglu Temple, the Qintianjian, and the Imperial Hospital. To the east is the Zhanshi Mansion and to the south are the Dongjiaomin Lane.

The US Embassy is south of Dongjiaomin Lane, following Huitong Hall, and the Four Translation Hall is adjacent to the city wall!

Gordon's house was rewarded by Emperor Tongzhi. It is not big but the location is very good. It is located in Taiji Factory. The French Embassy is located on the north side of the Qing Customs Office. You can walk dozens of meters into the south gate of the Customs Office!

When you go out, you can walk at Gordon's pace and enter the Forbidden City from Donghua Gate to the Forbidden City in just 20 minutes. This geographical location is amazing!

If it were placed in Xiao Letian's previous life, the housing price in this place was less than 100,000 yuan per square meter, it would be the same as a free one! And it was a building, which was a perfect courtyard!

Gordon was so satisfied with this small courtyard. There were many European faces around it. The church was close to it and it was very convenient to serve. And the big four had already selected servants to serve. They were all natives in the capital who had work experience in the embassy, ​​and some of them were even religious people!

The emperor was so kind to Gordon, and Gordon felt warm as if he had entered the courtyard, but he was more than enough to live alone!

Yesterday, I had a private chat with Emperor Tongzhi for a long time and even gave him a banquet. At night, I moved into the courtyard with my bag!

The next day, old friends from embassies from various countries, including Hed from the General Administration of Customs, came to visit, and everyone welcomed the celebrity in front of Emperor Tongzhi with gifts.

Gordon specially called Quanjude to deliver the banquet to his home, and there was a lively party!

In the afternoon, Gordon had a short lunch break in the afternoon, and in the evening, he put the Grand Master's chair in the yard, soaked a strong tea from a purple clay pot, and looked at the forsythia blooming in the yard, and almost sang a few Peking Opera.

When the servants who served him saw that the master was really a Chinese master, he didn't dare to deceive his work, and he was much quicker to do things!

But just as Gordon was enjoying his life, a villain came to the door, and suddenly there was a bang of banging the door from the door. Gordon frowned when he heard it!

"Who? It's so rude, go and have a look..."

The doorman was also angry. Sijiucheng was a place where etiquette was discussed. There were rules for knocking on the door. The door knocker was placed there and it was invisible. Why did you dare to smash the door with a bang?

"Hey hey...who is? I have my eyes long butts on it, so I can't see such a big copper door knocker, right?"

With a creaking sound, the door was opened, but before he could finish his words, a powerful force came from outside, pushing the student open.

"Hahaha... Where is Lord Gordon? If you come to visit, you don't say anything... You... go and tell Gordon, just say Lord Chengbeile is here!"

Enguang glared from the door, "Boy! You can see that my eyes are on my face, not on my butt! You can eat more food, don't say more..."

"You have just given you the blessing of Master Foreigner. If you change your family, I will sniff your back teeth off..."

The disciple didn't expect that Zai Cheng was the vicious evil spirit. He didn't dare to say anything and quickly lowered his head and ran back. "Judge, Judgment... Master Cheng Beile from Prince Gong's Mansion is here!"

Gordon didn't expect it was him. Although he had never seen it before, he had heard of the bad reputation many times.

He was determined not to see him, but after all, he still had to be an official in the Qing Dynasty. Prince Gong could not avoid it, so he could only see him once now!

Zai Cheng didn't need anyone to greet him, so he just walked around the screen wall and entered the yard casually!

"Sir Gordon... I'm upset when I first met, I'm upset!"

"Hello... Master Chengbeile... Actually, it's not the first time I met. I met you seven years ago when I was in the Zongli Yamen in the capital, but you were still young at that time!"

"Oh... I was really young at that time, so I couldn't remember it anymore. How could you bear it..."

The two of them spoke coldly in the yard and said a few polite words. In the end, Gordon didn't even mean to let Zai Cheng go to the hall, which made Cheng Beile so angry!

He had to be in the capital, and he had to be in the middle of the house. He would not open the middle door to greet him. He had to leave one for the main seat in the lobby!

When I arrived at Gordon today, I turned into standing in the yard and chatting. It was so shameless!

Gordon thought more clearly. He had already explained his words with the emperor yesterday. His general strategy was clear and he would break up with the faction of the Japanese Sixth century sooner or later!

If you are still a foreigner, why bother flattering you?

Zai Cheng sneered, "Does the Lord even want to bear to drink wine? Just let the guests stand in the yard?"

"Sorry, this yard was just rewarded by Your Majesty yesterday. There is nothing at home, and there is not even time to buy rice and flour. I really can't entertain guests!"

"In addition, according to our British tradition, the host must invite the banquet in advance, a temporary banquet? Sorry, we don't have such rules..."

Hi... I'm really challenging. This foreigner has no words at all. He really doesn't give him face!

"Okay...Okay...Okay! Tell me, I've been giving you a gift from all the way to celebrate Lord Gordon's return to the Qing Dynasty!"

"As a result, I can't even eat a glass of wine... Haha, just give me the gift and give it to the Lord to see!"

En Guang glared at the eyes and angrily held the wooden box over, and opened it in front of Gordon, "Sir, please take a look!"

When Gordon saw that it was covered with red cloth, he didn't know what was going on. He was curious and reached out to lift the red cloth and saw the **** at a glance!

"Ah! God! Where did you get it!"

Gordon grabbed the half-old revolver, searched carefully and found the English letters engraved on the handle. Nothing was wrong with his friend Bai Qiwen's gun back then!

"You, you...where did you get this gun? Tell me..."
