Young Master Meng nodded at Zeng Siping and said, "Siping." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½β€

Zeng Jize was in grief, his eyes were already red from crying, and he glanced at the Xuan family.

Xuan Zonglu hurriedly went over to comfort, "Don't be too sad, the most important thing now is to treat the funeral of Lao Zhongtang." ”

Zeng Jize choked up and said, "I'll go to Jiangning tomorrow." ”

Xuan Zonglu nodded, "I'll go with Ji Ze, Xuan Hongtao, you go too." ”

"Okay, Brother Ji Ze and I are in-laws, I should go, our Xuan family really depends on the Zeng family." Xuan Hongtao's words were quite decent, and let Young Master Meng applaud his father and secretly applaud.

In fact, Xuan Hongtao is not bad, but he doesn't have the talent to be an official, or his personality is born like this, put it in modern times, or just be an ordinary person in this era, Xuan Hongtao can't do it, Xuan Hongtao is like this, a typical life of a gentleman, and there is no ruthlessness of a gentleman, like the authentic table of Zhilin and Jing Duo, Xuan Hongtao can't get on it at all.

Young Master Meng said: "I will also go to mourn my great-grandfather." ”

Zeng Jize touched Xuan Yuemeng's head with emotion, "No need, you are still too young, and you have a long way to go in this cold winter." ”

Xuan Zonglu also said: "Yes, Yuemeng, you are here to accompany Siping." ”

Zeng Siping heard his name mentioned, and came over to hold Young Master Meng's hand, "Well, Yuemeng goes, I'll go, Yuemeng doesn't go, I can't go." ”

Young Master Meng held Zeng Siping's warm little hand, and his heart warmed, what a good little girl! Zeng Siping is so beautiful at such a young age, and his tutor is so strict, in fact, he is still very pleasing to Young Master Meng, Young Master Meng thinks that Zeng Siping will be a great beauty when he grows up, or a beautiful woman who knows how to learn, if he doesn't know that Zeng Jize will definitely not agree, Young Master Meng really wants Zeng Siping to come to the school in the concession to study and receive a new education.

Don't let old-fashioned education ruin such a good seedling, this matter, Young Master Meng has been thinking about it for a while.

Young Master Meng is just making a show, he doesn't have a good impression of Zeng Guofan, and he is so far away, he also knows that everyone will not let him go, Yue Meng said vigorously to the same person: "Give me my hanging money." ”

Vigorously hurriedly took out a thick stack of silver tickets, which Young Master Meng had prepared a long time ago, a full one million taels of silver!

The Zeng family is not short of money, but one million taels of silver, no matter what kind of family it is, is scary enough!

Young Master Meng is to let everyone in the world see his filial piety, even if it is advertising money, this matter is enough for the Huacui Evening News hosted by Klinsmann Foreign Company to write for a while.

Zeng Jize was moved, "How much is this?" Yue Meng? Where is there anyone who hangs filial piety with so much? Don't have so much! What has become of this? ”

Xuan Zonglu didn't expect Yue Meng to prepare such a large amount of silver after a while, and she almost didn't feel distressed again, but she still stiffened her neck and said, "Alas, Ji Ze, what are you doing, Yue Meng is not an outsider, they are all from their own family, and people will still say that they are collecting money?" ”

Zeng Jize sighed, not knowing what to do.

Mrs. Zeng also said: "Yue Meng, how much silver did you take out?" Knowing that you have money, you have a hundred thousand taels of silver, and you can already top it, no one will have more than 100,000 taels, you pack so much, how can other people pack it? ”

Young Master Meng wanted to laugh, but endured it, this is not the place to laugh, Young Master Meng loves to laugh, he can't speak without laughing, he gritted his teeth, and looked sad, "It's not much, it's only one million taels of silver!" ”

Zeng Jize simply had nothing to say, one million taels of silver is not much, so how much is it called more?

One million taels of silver, you can already buy seventeen or eighteen mansions like the Zeng family.

It's almost the same to buy the entire Big Tree Alley.

The people in the hall were all shocked by Young Master Meng's generosity, or they whispered, and many people felt embarrassed for the ten taels of silver and twenty taels of silver that they had sealed.

Although Zeng Guofan is the head of Hanchen, but ten taels of silver is really a lot, this is Zeng Guofan, and other high-ranking officials have died, and there are not so many people coming.

Young Master Meng knelt down respectfully in front of Zeng Guofan's spirit, although he had no contact with Zeng Guofan, but Zeng Guofan was a great man of this era, without Zeng Guofan, the Qing Dynasty died early, and Young Master Meng can't say where he didn't like Zeng Guofan, it should be mainly because Zeng Guofan's foreign policy is not to the taste of Young Master Meng, but it does not affect Young Master Meng's view that Zeng Guofan is a great man.

Zeng Siping asked softly: "Mother, why is Yuemeng crying?" ”

Young Master Meng cried because he revered Zeng Guofan from the end of Wei, and he could create a history that was recited by future generations, if Young Master Meng was Zeng Guofan, he would definitely be the emperor, and he overthrew the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, what a good opportunity! took advantage of the trend against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, even if it was forced by the pressure of students all over the world not to go to Beijing, just to declare the independence of Jiangnan, Jiangnan to stop it, and cut off the taxes of the Qing Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty had no trick at all.

Thinking of a great man, but he still has a remnant of feudal thoughts, and he can't rely on his personal ability to make an earth-shattering career, and this is the first time that Young Master Meng has participated in the memorial, and he cried when he thought of the impermanence of life and death.

Zeng Jize was very moved, and personally helped Young Master Meng up, "Okay, okay, Yue Meng, uncle has seen your filial piety." ”

Xuan Hongtao also came over to hold Yue Meng's hand and comforted: "Okay, Yue Meng, everyone has seen your filial piety." ”

On the second day, Young Master Meng cried at the memorial service, and laid the ceremony of one million taels of silver, which spread all over the north and south of the river, and spread throughout the entire Qing Dynasty!

This is too much for Zeng Guofan, it has given the Zeng family a face, Zeng Guofan's protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials are all over the world, which has also laid a good foundation for Young Master Meng's connections, to be honest, for the locality, the quasi-forehead is really just a fart, far less than Zeng Guofan's grandson-in-law's identity is more open, the grandson-in-law of the Zeng family, I don't know how many people have to pay for this identity.

In less than a month, Young Master Meng sold out the commercial land in the entire American Concession and got more than 17 million taels of silver!

Now the cash in Young Master Meng's hands has exceeded 30 million taels of silver!

Li Hongzhang personally accompanied Zeng Jize to the golden scales, Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongtao also accompanied him, although Li Hongzhang and Yue Meng fell out, but Li Hongzhang did not have any difference between Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongtao, on the surface, they were still in the past.

Soon after Li Hongzhang arrived in Jinling, the imperial court issued three decrees to commend Zeng Guofan's merits during his lifetime, and gave him the nickname "Wenzheng".

During the funeral of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang secretly recommended his Jinshi to be the governor of Liangjiang in the same year, and He Jing, the governor of Fujian, was temporarily appointed as the governor of Liangjiang, and the imperial court was allowed to play. He Jing was also a feudal official created by the shogunate of Zeng Guofan. (To be continued.) )
