Zeng Jize said: "I have already prepared there, and there will be no less than what you have prepared, don't bother, a few days ago, I had a hunch that Yue Meng can show off her talents in high school, everything is complete on my side, and I have already sent out invitations from all over the world."
This time it's going to be lively for half a month, "Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, I just won a show, Zeng Jize, you want to invite all the officials of the whole Zhili to Ha Wanyi, I didn't win, aren't you ashamed, Zeng Jize also knew that he would definitely be in the "Uncle Zeng, you already knew that I wanted to be a showman" Zeng Jize patted Xuan Yuemeng's big break, "The invitation just sent out, I asked the housekeeper to write it temporarily, but the list was prepared a long time ago, I originally planned to wait for your Xuan Mansion to invite guests, and then I Zeng Mansion to entertain guests."
How could I know in advance that you would be in Xiucai, you will be your great-uncle who will tell the hexagram If you don't win, it won't be a slap in the face" Xuan Yuemeng sighed, it seems that Zeng Jize didn't know that Li Hongzhang helped his own affairs, it seems that only Li Hongzhang knows it, he is relieved, such a popular thing, after all, he still wants others to think that it is his own ability and talent.However, it's just a showman, do you use the lively half a month, the Zeng Mansion is full of lights, extremely luxurious, the Zeng Mansion is rich, and the Zeng Mansion does not hide that after all, as long as the Zeng family honestly does things for the Qing court, the court can allow the Zeng family to be rich, and you can have as much money as you want, just don't touch the idea of the court.This side has just opened, and the guests over there are still coming in in an endless stream, the entire big tree alley is a flowing water seat, and there are five hundred tables of Xuan Yuemeng sweating, just the chefs of the Zeng family and the Xuan family, this is far from enough, and finally Zeng Jize let the chefs of the Tianjin big restaurant almost all of them find guests, including the head of the entire Zhili, except that Zeng Jize did not invite any officials from Beijing, the surrounding areas of Tianjin are all automatically and spontaneously all together, Zeng Guofan's protégés are all over the world and are still in the position of the governor of Liangjiang, The Zeng family's momentum is still in full swing in the Qing Dynasty.Li Hongzhang personally congratulated.The whole scene is even more stylish, Zeng Jize changed his clothes twice, like a groom official, and when he saw Li Hongzhang arrive, he personally hugged Xuan Yuemeng to greet him."
Why did Lord Zhongtang come in person, how could he be so unhappy that he couldn't afford it, he really couldn't afford it."
Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "How can I not come to the teacher, if it is not far away in Jinling, I estimate that the teacher will definitely come to preside." ”Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang looked at each other and laughed, it can be seen that the relationship is very good, and Xuan Yuemeng's heart is also beautiful.He likes to see a good family relationship, how many years of friendship has been formed Li Hongzhang took over Xuan Yuemeng from Zeng Jize's hands, and personally hugged Xuan Yuemeng, "Yuemeng, this time I show my talent in high school, I will make persistent efforts in the future, I must not be complacent, I must continue the Zhongxiang test, the Zhonghui test, until the palace test, the title of the gold list" Xuan Yuemeng looked at Li Hongzhang.Blinking, my heart said, I have to rely on you to make persistent efforts, I don't even have the level of a child, I can take the Zhongxiang test and the middle school will test, but I have all arrived in the Beijing Division, and the middle hall has been tried in the middle hall, ah, the minister of the Manchu Dynasty, which is not full of learning, you have helped me to the throne of a showman, but you can't just leave me alone, tsk Zeng Jize smiled: "Lord Zhongtang is too praised, then Yuemeng should have to wait for many years." ”Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "Life is like a wild donkey, and as soon as you open and close your eyes, it's time to arrive, headquarters."
It's really an old man, and the headquarters hopes that Yuemeng will grow up in the future and become the pillar of my Qing Dynasty to contribute to the court. ”Li Hongzhang's words are indeed from the heart, and Xuan Yuemeng interprets the meaning.I also feel that Li Hongzhang does not have any selfish intentions in promoting himself, and at his own age, he is much younger than his son, so he must not be able to rely on himself, which can only be explained that Li Hongzhang is a reserve of talents for the Qing court.Alas, Xuan Yuemeng said softly: "Lord Zhongtang, I heard that someone picked up a batch of guns, I want to buy them first, and then let someone give them to the Beiyang Yamen, you say, do I want to buy it" Li Hongzhang was secretly funny, it was you who grabbed it, and bought it and said quietly: "Then the headquarters doesn't care, someone sends things to the public, and the headquarters has always been willing to accept them for the imperial court." ”Zeng Jize was overjoyed and touched Xuan Yuemeng's head, "This is smart, you remember, you are the son-in-law of my Zeng family, that is, the person of Lord Zhongtang, if you have something in the future, you will tell Lord Zhongtang, you can't hide it, in this way, you will be smooth for the rest of your life." ”Xuan Yuemeng nodded, let out a well-behaved sound, and lay on Li Hongzhang's shoulder cutely.Young Master Meng said in his heart, I solved the dispute in the concession, the German minister is very satisfied, I have asked him to buy a batch of Mauser 1871, that is the latest type of gun, and it will be the world of breech guns in the future, Mauser 1871 can almost guarantee that within 20 years, it will be at the world's advanced level, otherwise how can I be so atmospheric Li Hongzhang's broken guns, I can't look at it, hehe.Li Hongzhang nodded, "Ji Ze, I read the table you gave to the court, I can reply to you now, in the future, Tianjin's foreign affairs will be handed over to Xuan Hongtao, if you have anything, you can contact Hong Tao directly" Zeng Jize was overjoyed, and said to Xuan Yuemeng: "Thank you Lord Zhongtang, so that your father has a real shortage" Xuan Yuemeng is actually not particularly concerned about the official positions of Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Zonglu, otherwise, with his financial resources, he should have given Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Zonglu activities a long time ago, But he knew that this was because Li Hongzhang was satisfied with the fact that he sent back the 500 foreign guns, after all, everyone likes to take things for nothing, he sent 500 guns, which made Li Hongzhang happy than sending money, because Li Hongzhang would definitely not tell the court that these arms were given for free, so he had to give himself a little Xie Yi and Xuan Hongtao power, this is Xie Yi for himself.Xuan Yuemeng nodded, and said sweetly: "Thank you Zhongtang" snapped, with a crisp sound, Young Master Meng still took a sip of incense on Li Zhongtang's old face.It's quite a sacrifice of hue.The guests present and Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Hongtao, Xuan Huang and other Xuan family members who happened to arrive saw this scene, they were all secretly surprised, no wonder Xuan Yuemeng can develop so fast, it turns out that it is already this relationship with Li Zhongtang, let alone holding a child, everyone believes that with Li Zhongtang's strength, holding a puppy, that puppy can go to the Yamen of the second grade to sit in the hall Li Hongzhang did not expect Xuan Yuemeng to kiss himself, provoked laughter, and also kissed Xuan Yuemeng's chubby face heavily, two days ago, I was still upset, these two days, The relationship between Xuan Yuemeng and Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang began to be like glue again.Xuan Zonglu's excited old tears are about to come out, of course he knows that Yue Meng is completely accepted by the Li family and the Zeng family, not to mention such a big child, this is placed on the second and third grades, can be accepted by the Li family and the Zeng family, that is enough to wake up with a smile Xuan Yuemeng said in a low voice: "Yue Meng dare not forget in this life and this life, I am Li Zhongtang and my great-uncle." ”Zeng Jize nodded, took Xuan Yuemeng from Li Hongzhang's hand, and kissed Xuan Yuemeng's chubby face.Such a move, in people like Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang, can't help it.Li Hongzhang has never kissed his child in public, this is not a kiss, this is stamping, telling the world that this is their child.Xuan Hongtao heard that Li Zhongtang had rewarded him with the real power of the Tianjin Customs Department of Foreign Affairs, and he knelt down and kowtowed on the spot excitedly, "Thanks to the support of the Prime Minister, Hong Tao will be killed, and there is nothing to repay him" Xuan Zonglu almost knelt down, and kept pretending, "Li Zhongtang, thank you, my Xuan family is grateful." ”Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "Don't be polite, Yue Meng is Ji Ze's son-in-law, I am the protégé of Lord Zeng, and Ji Ze is naturally my own person, in this way, everyone is their own person Hong Tao, get up quickly, I have received such a big power and responsibility, when you are promoted to the next level, at least it is a positive fifth grade, but considering that you have no meritorious service, don't be busy with the court first, and wait for you to make achievements, the headquarters will naturally ask for credit for you, maybe you can directly bypass the five grades, and it is unknown to be promoted from the fourth grade." ”Xuan Hongtao burst into tears in surprise, he still remembered Xuan Yuelei in his heart, but such a big wedding cake smashed on his head, which made him have no reason to be unhappy.Fortunately, at this time, Zeng Siping and Sophia were arguing for Young Master Meng to play, and Xuan Yuemeng escaped the tears of these officialdoms.After playing all day, eating, sleeping, eating, and eating, it was another whole day, and on the third day, Xuan Yuemeng found an excuse to escape from the Zeng family, Zeng Jize was on the rise, Xuan Yuemeng looked at the Zeng family's formation, and it was estimated that he could really put wine for a month, Khan's own father-in-law, but he knew that Zeng Jize was really good to himself.Back in the open garden, the first thing Xuan Yuemeng did was to go to see Xuan Yuelei and see if Xuan Yuelei was better Xuan Yuemeng entered the house, and met Xuan Huang who went to the kitchen, "Mother, is Yue Lei better" Xuan Huang hugged Xuan Yuemeng, "Why are you back, didn't your great-uncle say that he wanted to put a month's celebration wine" Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "That's his business, I won't stay at his house for a month, people in this era are really good at playing, and they can really drink a month's big wine." ”Xuan Huang nodded Xuan Yuemeng's brain, "You are only a one-year-old villain in this era, what do you know, you are old-fashioned, my mother told you, don't go to your eldest brother." ”Xuan Yue Meng said curiously: "Why" Xuan Huang: "Anyway, I told you not to go, you don't want to go, there is no why." ”t1706231537:
