Xuan Hongtao knew that Xuan Yuemeng and Li Hongzhang had a major conflict, and he was worried that Li Hongzhang would take the opportunity to kill himself, or use himself to coerce Yuemeng, he was not stupid, "Lord Zhongtang, I have been weak recently, I'm afraid I'm sick, besides, my ability, Lord Chen is very clear, I don't know Japanese, and I'm not familiar with diplomacy, how can I be responsible for such a big thing as signing a contract with Japan" Li Hongzhang snorted, and his fierce face was revealed, "You, the five-grade chief of the Tianjin Customs Road, are doing this just to take the imperial court's Yulu, Haven't you thought about solving problems for the imperial court, don't forget, if it weren't for the fact that the Japanese Ministry recommended you to the imperial court after signing a contract with the Japanese, you are such a talented person, why should you be the head of this five-grade This Tianjin Customs Road is a good yamen that everyone in the government and the opposition envy, enter, you can go directly to the center and retreat, you can go out to the place, at least it is a promotion to a fourth grade, advance and retreat are all beautiful differences, you can't bear any responsibility at all The court raises a mediocre person like you, what's the use" Xuan Hongtao was so frightened that the Great Khan came down at that time, and he only felt that his whole body was sweating, Sticking to the body, it is very uncomfortable, it is only March, how does it feel like a steamer weather in July and August.Xuan Hongtao's voice stumbled, "Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Zhongtang's words are too heavy, Xuan Hongtao really can't bear it, it's really because I'm only sparse and shallow, it's really not good, Lord Zhongtang still thinks of another candidate, I really can't do such a big thing independently." ”Sheng Xuanhuai frowned, and said sharply: "Xuan Hongtao, don't you hurry up and take the order of Lord Zhongtang, you are a small five-grade official, Lord Zhongtang has spoken in person, do you dare not obey and don't plan to be this official, you really are a relative of the emperor, don't be ashamed" Chen Qin has already seen that Lord Li Zhongtang wants that Xuan Hongtao to be a shield, Chen Qin knows that Xuan Hongtao has a good son, and he uses Xuan Hongtao as a shield, which is the right person, whether it is Xuan Hongtao who solves this matter, it is the best, and everyone has merit, Naturally, it is still the great merit of Lord Zhongtang, if Xuan Hongtao can't solve it, it will be better, take Xuan Hongtao out of the horse, you can knock his son hard, everyone knows that Young Master Meng of Tianjin is already the richest man in the Qing Dynasty Chen Qin snorted, and then Sheng Xuanhuai's words said: "Xuan Hongtao, what do you do Lord Zhongtang's orders, you dare to shirk and tell you, even if you abandon the official position, you have to do this thing as the official hat of the Great Qing Kingdom, not that you can throw it away, dereliction of duty, you know what the sin is" by Li Hongzhang, Sheng Xuanhuai and Chen Qin threatened repeatedly, Xuan Hongtao's courage was not great, but he was almost scared to death, so he had to kneel down and say: "Xuan Hongtao just obeys the orders of Lord Zhongtang." ”Li Hongzhang snorted coldly, "You have to weigh the importance of this matter, and the headquarters will play this time to the imperial court today, and the excerpt will point out that you ask to take on this important responsibility, if something goes wrong with the matter of re-discussing the subscription with the Japanese, your son who is the richest man in the future, and your father, who is still at home dreaming of being a governor, can't keep you" Xuan Hongtao's tears fell at that time, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot, and with the status of Li Zhongtang, he said such a thing to a five-grade official, That is, to openly take his fault, this is openly to the Xuan family, thinking that Yue Meng offended the powerful Li Zhongtang Li today, Xuan Hongtao only felt that there was darkness in front of him, Xuan Hongtao didn't remember how he got home, he only felt that the soles of his feet were like being filled with lead, and he was put on a sedan chair by two accompanying house slaves.The porter was shocked when he saw that the uncle had been crying silently, and he didn't know what was wrong, so seven or eight people hurriedly carried the uncle into the house.Xuan Yuewu's daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, and a bunch of women were playing with the child, laughing and laughing.Although Xuan Zonglu doesn't like children, since he met a genius like Xuan Yuemeng, he didn't dare to look down on children anymore, and he actually teased his little grandson with Xuan Zhou's family."
I don't know if this kid can be like Yue Meng" Xuan Zonglu muttered to himself as he looked at his little grandson, who had just been born not long ago.Xuan Zhou's glanced at his little grandson, the child's tiger head is also fun, but, with his eyes closed, he is a little stupid, where is it like when Xuan Yuemeng was born, he would already squint and slant people everywhere Xuan Zhou's couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xuan Zonglu, "You should be full of children like Yuemeng, Yuemeng is like this, in the entire history, there has not been one in 10,000 years, otherwise the queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces will choose our family Yuemeng as the forehead" Xuan Huang also smiled: "Yes, you can't expect every child to be like Yuemeng." , Yue Meng is just two years old, this is good, and she is also an uncle. ”Xuan Yuewu's daughter-in-law nodded and said: "I don't expect this child to be like Yuemeng, with one-tenth of Yuemeng, I will be very happy, Yuemeng is one year old in Xiucai, if this child can be in Xiucai at the age of ten, it will be good." ”"I must be able to be a descendant of my Xuan family, a top smart ten-year-old talent, there must be no problem" Xuan Zonglu laughed.Xuan Yuelei next to him was uncomfortable, Xuan Yuelei was still studying hard at home, "The descendants of your Xuan family are all smart, so I and Yuewen, Yuewu, and Yuehua and Yuelu in the third room are not small, why is there no one who is talented" Xuan Zonglu was bumped by Xuan Yuelei, and suddenly became angry, "How can this be reasonable, dare to talk to your grandfather like this" Xuan Yuelei's daughter-in-law knew that Xuan Yuelei spoke with little tendons, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, Yuelei can't speak, don't blame you." ”Xuan Yuelei's daughter-in-law is Xiaocui, the maid who originally went to the house, and has been with the old lady of the Xuan family since she was a child, Xuan Zhou's side, and Xuan Zhou's also helped to persuade, "Yes, don't be angry with your grandson, Yuelei is just talking casually." ”Xuan Zonglu snorted, still angry, the old man's temper was too big.That is, Young Master Meng can eat and live in Xuan Zonglu.At this moment, Xuan Hongtao was helped into the inner courtyard by a bunch of subordinates.Xuan Huang was taken aback, "What's the matter, what's wrong with your uncle?"
"I don't know, it's like this when the uncle came out of the yamen," the attendant replied.Xuan Zonglu was also nervous, with the old man's rich experience in officialdom, he knew that something must have happened, and hurriedly asked: "Hong Tao, what's wrong" Xuan Hongtao was okay outside, and when he went home to see his father, it was like seeing his own backer, and he suddenly cried like a child, and he couldn't cry anymore, and he couldn't help himself.t1706231537:
