The result of Zuihou's discussion was 3,200 taels, and then the 400 taels that Xiao Tangchun had saved in the hands of the old bustard were folded, and the actual price was 2,800 taels of silver. The old bustard gave two more pairs of heads and four clothes, which can be regarded as a dowry for marrying his daughter.

According to the rules in the Qinglou, there is also an indispensable procedure, that is, to call Xiaotang Chun to come, listen to her say yes to her face, and everyone present is a witness.

Xiao Tangchun's eyes were red, obviously knowing the news, and he had just cried. After a long time in the hall, he glanced at Guan Zhuofan timidly, and squeezed out the word "wish" from his mouth in a very small voice. As soon as the words came out, he said "wow" again, threw himself into the arms of the old bustard and cried. The old bustard was distressed about the lost money, and the other had a little sadness of the parting of mother and daughter, hugged Xiao Tangchun, called "My good daughter", and let it go.

Guan Zhuofan couldn't see the tears of the women, and when he saw them hugging their heads and crying, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he felt a little sorry for the old bustard. However, it has come to this point, and it is useless to say more, and it may not be possible to tell the brothers in his camp to come to her more prostitutes in the future as compensation?

was thinking wildly, but saw Libin walk in front of him and slammed to the ground: "Yixuan, Yixuan...... What do you want me to say? In the past half a day, he has been like a dream, and good things have come one after another, all thanks to Guan Zhuofan. The great grace is not grateful, people do this part, and they sold their lives to him.

Guan Zhuofan hurriedly held on and said, "Sir, don't say anything." Early tomorrow morning, I typed out the silver ticket and sent it over. As for me, I am about to go to Rehe, and there are still some trivial matters at home, so I won't leave much. I just said that haode handed over the paperwork, please go and do it with my mother by myself, Zhang Mu and the two, stay here to do a mediator for you. ”

Libin nodded, first thanked Daniel Zhang and Mu Ning, and then sent Guan Zhuofan out of the living room with Xiao Tangchun. Guan Zhuofan looked at Libin, arched his hand, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Li, congratulations to sister-in-law!" When you settle down in Shanghai in the future, please bring a happy message to your younger brother's family. Glancing at Xiao Tangchun, who was still tear-stained, he thought to himself, this is another sister-in-law, although it is three points inferior to the Bai family, but it can also be called Chu Chu moving...... Thinking of this, he suddenly woke up and secretly scolded himself: What do you think of crooked thoughts? This sister-in-law can't make up her mind!

When Libin heard him talk about Shanghai, his brain reacted, Guan Zhuofan has been busy for himself for a long time, but he hasn't even asked what others want him to do, which is really ridiculous. Hurriedly asked Xiao Tangchun to go back first, and said to Guan Zhuofan apologetically: "Yixuan, I'm really confused, so please explain, what should I do when I arrive in Shanghai?" ”

"After the foreigners entered the capital, everything is different now." Guan Zhuofan had been waiting for his question for a long time, and while walking, he said slowly: "I heard that if you want to strengthen the country, you can't do without a strong army; If you want to strengthen the army, you can't do without foreign affairs; If you want to do foreign affairs, you can't do without Shanghai. The younger brother is shallow in knowledge, and he only knows these three sentences, which is a little insight. Mr. Lee is a person who learns from the poor world, and what to do is in Mr. Leigh's heart. ”

Libin nodded silently - this is not a small insight, and the knowledge in it is too big. He felt more and more that Guan Zhuofan was a little mysterious, a six-rank military attaché, who opened his mouth to strengthen the country and the army...... He didn't want to think about it anymore, so he simply asked, "Yixuan, when will you be able to come to Shanghai?" “

"Half a load at a time, a year at most." Guan Zhuofan said firmly.

"Good! With a year as an appointment, I will definitely be able to hold up a small situation for you. "Libin has a lot of contacts in Shanghai, especially in the concession, and the foreign affairs are not only his strengths, but also his favorites, Guan Zhuofan's instructions, he is confident that he can do it.

While speaking, the two had come to the door of the Zichun Pavilion, Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, and said, "Send you a thousand miles, and you must say goodbye in the end." I don't have much cash, but fortunately, I still have two calligraphy and paintings left by my late father at home, and I will have them delivered tomorrow. Mr. can be in the concession, or go to Hong Kong, to find a suitable price. The money you get, during the year, should be spent, don't be stingy. ”

Libin understands that Guan Zhuofan wants to use this money as his own expenses. Thinking in his heart, since Guan Zhuofan said so, these two calligraphy and paintings must be worth a lot of money, if they can be exchanged for three or five thousand silver, then it will be easier to do things, so he replied casually: "Done!" To put it mildly, I am also an expert in calligraphy and painting, and I will never suffer. But I don't know which two are them? ”

"The word is Huang Tingjian's "Cloud Fu", and the painting is Liang Kai's "Six Ancestors Cutting Bamboo". Guan Zhuofan said, turned over on the horse, raised his hand to say goodbye, and walked away, leaving the stunned Libin, standing at the door in a daze, unable to make a sound.

In the morning of the next day, Guan Zhuofan carefully wrapped the two calligraphy and paintings, counted out two thousand eight hundred taels of silver tickets, put them into an envelope, took another piece of letterhead, wrote the address of the new house, and then sent a package, called Tulin, and told him to send it to the Zichun Pavilion and hand it over to Libin in person.

This incident is the happiest and most proud thing he has done since he crossed over. It's incredible to think that just a few months ago, he was just an inconspicuous graduate student, but now he can wave his hand and become a good relationship for others while talking and laughing.

The investment is invested, but whether this investment will grow into a high-performance stock or eventually become a delisted junk stock, even Guan Zhuofan, who is familiar with the historical process, cannot control it, and can only hope for Mr. Li's ability and God's favor.

Guan Zhuofan has the advantage of never getting entangled in things that he can't figure out, or things he can't control. Now that the matter was over, he put it in the back of his mind and focused on the matter in front of him.

During this time, the money is like flowing water, and the accounts must be checked first. It's not that I don't know, I'm scared, and after careful calculation, the cash that can be used at home now is only in the early two thousand taels, and I muttered a little in my heart, I have to be careful. Rehe is not as good as the capital, there are no bad rules and extra money to fish, so you can only eat honestly, and the current family, relying on their own military salary, can never afford to raise. As the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, and since the shelf is propped up, there is no way to retract it. These two thousand taels of silver are all the grain reserves for a period of time in the future.

The next thing to do was the feast in the evening. The people invited by Guan Zhuofan, except for a few neighbors, most of them were his colleagues, and the officials of the various yamen who had met in the past few months were only invited to the fifth rank at the highest level, which made the disparity in status too great, making the guests uncomfortable with each other.

Because the post of the invitation was delivered in a hurry, I didn't expect that there would be a response, but what I didn't expect was that everyone who was invited said that they could take the time to participate. What I didn't expect was that although Guan Zhuofan had specially handed over the documents in the camp and wanted to write the meaning of refusing to accept gifts in the invitation, from the afternoon, the gifts from each family were still delivered in an endless stream. In the evening, in addition to Daoxi, everyone handed a red sealed bag.

"What's going on?" Guan Zhuofan pulled past Daniel Zhang, who was standing at the door and was greeting guests for him as a close confidant, and quietly asked, "Didn't Xu write clearly according to my meaning?" ”

"It's written, how can it be done if you don't write it?" Daniel Zhang blinked in confusion, as if he didn't understand what Guan Zhuofan wanted to ask.

"Then why did you send so many gifts and money?!" Guan Zhuofan said annoyedly.

"Sneer--write and write, send and send, it's two different things." Daniel Zhang laughed when he heard it, this kind of natural thing, he still had to make a fuss. Then he seemed to think of something, and deliberately put on a shameless smile, and actually took out a red sealed bag from his arms, "This is under the mark, congratulations to the boss!" ”

Guan Zhuofan was dumbfounded. He didn't want to accept gifts, he didn't want to make this matter too high-profile, but this time, he really appreciated the indestructible magic of officialdom rules.

What he didn't know was that because of his limelight in the hall of the Ministry of Rites, the praise he had received from the commander of the army for a few months, and the rumors that he was the nephew of Shengbaoyan's son, the name of "Chengnan Guansan" had gradually become louder. People in officialdom have a tradition of burning hot stoves, and they are the most able to wait and see. Although Guan Zhuofan is still a small stove, it is a hot stove, so many people are willing to take advantage of this time to burn it.

There were five tables on the table, one table in the main hall was a female dependent, accompanied by the Bai family, and the four tables outside invited Zhou Jiayu to sit as the chief. This banquet is a grand event that the Guan family has not had for a long time, so all the masters and servants are dispatched to ensure that it is successfully held. The chef of Kuiyuan Pavilion is also very competent, and the dishes delivered are all exquisite, and the guests are also praised.

The wine was half-drunk, and there was a knock on the door in the courtyard outside. Tuber only said that there was a late guest, so he hurried to open the gate, but saw that in the alley outside the door, there was a large number of people, always twenty or thirty, all of them dressed in soap and short, and many of them were carrying sticks and sticks in their hands. The two people at the beginning, one is a man with a fierce appearance, and the other is the second young master of the Guan family, Guan Zhuoren.
