How could Zeng Jize not understand the current situation?

Zeng Jize saw Xuan Yuemeng's eyes gurgling just now, and after listening to Xuan Yuemeng's words, he understood everything.

Xuan Yuemeng is looking for himself to keep this money for him.

Zeng Jize already loves Xuan Yuemeng, now after sorting out all the relationships, and then thinking that the two families are world friends, although the Xuan family's family background is much worse than the Zeng family, but he is a new school character, has received some Western education, is more open-minded, talented, decisive, after thinking quickly, he recognized Xuan Yuemeng's extraordinary husband and wife in the future, but he was worried that a child like Xuan Yuemeng would grow crooked, thinking that he would take care of it more, and he couldn't go anywhere, so he intended to fulfill Xuan Yuemeng!

Zeng Jize asked Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Hongtao loudly, "Old man, Brother Hong Tao, what Ling Gongzi said, did you all hear it just now?" Although Ling Gongzi is young, he likes my Zeng Jize's daughter, can my Zeng family take this money? ”

Happiness came too suddenly, and Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Huang, who were still suffering from gains and losses just now, turned to ecstasy!

It seems that the happy one is about to faint, what is there not to be willing to? They are not stupid, of course they understand the current situation, without the backing of a character like Zeng Jize, this silver will be cut off even if it is touched! can not only make such a large sum of money have a shadow, but also climb the supreme Zeng family among the supreme Han people, if you don't agree, you will really become a big dung in your head.

Xuan Xu had mixed feelings in his heart, although Xuan Xu was not Xuan Yuemeng's biological mother, and now she was only a ten-year-old girl, but she was also sensible, thinking that Xuan Yuemeng would marry a daughter-in-law when she grew up, she would leave herself, and she would be alone at that time, and suddenly there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

Xuan Hongtao's eyes were full of tears, "Brother Ji Ze, I can't ask for it!" ”

Xuan Yuemeng was originally a master who came with his mouth open to lie, he would not be in a hurry for what would happen more than ten years later, the most important thing at the moment was to keep the money! More than a decade later? Maybe Zeng Siping won't grow up? Born with such a vicious idea, Xuan Yuemeng hurriedly despised herself in her heart, bah, even if I grow up, Zeng Siping will not look down on me at that time, and that will be a matter of eighty percent! You're such a beautiful little beauty, you're still growing up, Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, I didn't say anything just now.

Now it depends on what Xuan Zonglu means, everyone's eyes are staring at Xuan Zonglu, I don't know what the old man will say.

Xuan Zonglu coughed lightly, "The old man has only a meager contribution by Zeng Zhongtang, if Ji Ze thinks that the two dolls are suitable, the Xuan family will naturally not be able to ask for them." ”

Xuan Yuemeng felt funny when she looked at Xuan Zong's expressionless but tense appearance.

In fact, if this matter is not Xuan Yuemeng, if it is any child of the Xuan family, Xuan Zonglu is 10,000 willing, since the last time Xuan Yuemeng assisted Xuan Hongtao to make a great contribution to Li Hongzhang, Xuan Zonglu was annoyed to death Xuan Yuemeng. But no matter how annoying it is, it's useless, it's already here, it doesn't matter if he disagrees, unless Xuan Zonglu can come up with a reasonable reason for opposing it.

Zeng Jize smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass and said: "Although Yue Meng is only a child less than a year old, I really like this child, the guests and friends here today will be a witness, and after telling my father, if my father has no opinion, I will set this doll with the Hong Tao brothers, please raise a glass together." ”

Everyone applauded, although the ending of the story was very dramatic, but everyone was happy, and everyone was worried about the Wu family's troupe. Anyway, in the end, the money will not return to the hands of the person who rewarded it, it is the result that everyone is willing to see, otherwise such a wonderful drama just now will be in vain.

De Xuanlin took out a gold watch, "Congratulations, Lord Zeng, I didn't bring any gifts, but I really hope that this little Mr. Yuemeng, I didn't expect the world to be so wonderful, there can be such a smart child, this is my gift." ”

Zeng Jize looked at the gold watch at least a thousand taels of silver, which was very valuable, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he looked at Xuan Hongtao.

Xuan Hongtao understood that Zeng Jize was letting himself take the idea, but this thing seemed to be too valuable, and he was afraid that if he accepted it, it would make Zeng Jize owe this foreigner a favor, he didn't care about himself, he was just a six-grade official of Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, and others would not ask him to do anything big, not to mention that this De Zhulin was the new Tianjin Customs and Excise Department, which was much bigger than his official position, so he excused himself and said, "Mr. De Zhulin, this gift is really too valuable, I don't dare to say it on behalf of Xiao'er." ”

Xuan Yuemeng was very dissatisfied, what you gave me, what do you want you to say on my behalf, don't I have a long mouth? However, in front of everyone, it was inconvenient to refute Xuan Hongtao's face, and he tightened his chubby paws at Timothy Li.

Timothy Li understood, Xuan Yuemeng wanted to make friends with De Xuanlin, and said with a smile, "Hello Mr. Hong Tao, I am very good friends with your Mr. Yuemeng, and now I and this Mr. De Xuanlin are also very good friends, we Germans, if people don't accept the gifts, we will be very unhappy." ”

De Xuanlin was glad that someone spoke for him, "Yes, my gift is for this little gentleman, don't think about it, I think he is very cute, Mr. Yue Meng, do you want this gold watch?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "I want it, I have long wanted a watch, which can accurately grasp the time, Mr. De Xuanlin, I am very happy to know you, and I will give you a gift after a while, and I will definitely not lose the value of this gold watch." ”

Everyone looked at Xuan Yuemeng in amazement, because Xuan Yuemeng didn't talk much from beginning to end just now, everyone always felt unbelievable that today's event was fully planned by an eight-month-old child, but now that Xuan Yuemeng speaks fluently and behaves generously and decently, they all believe it.

De Xuanlin happily put the golden watch in Xuan Yuemeng's hand, touched Xuan Yuemeng's head, and said in English: "Okay, it's good, just now I heard that Mr. Timothy Li has been praising you, saying that your language learning ability is very strong, you are really amazing." ”

Xuan Yuemeng replied in English with a smile: "I am very ordinary, it was taught well by Mr. Timothy Lee, thank you very much for the gift." ”

Everyone was just surprised by Xuan Yue's cute and decent speech and demeanor just now, now it was like being bombarded by the thunder, such a big child, fluent in Chinese, that's it, after all, although it is few, it is not outrageous, and then it is very scary to speak foreign words so fluently.

It's not that Xuan Yuemeng forgot to hide his strength, it's just that Xuan Yuemeng thought about it later, since the fame of the prodigy must be spread, it simply makes everyone feel that he is just talented in language, but it is easier to explain, after all, there are still children who can speak well since childhood.

Xuan Hongbo looked at Xuan Hongtao jealously, not only did he not have a son, but now he looked at the eldest brother's son like this, how could he not teach people to be cold, Xuan Hongbo then glanced at Xuan Yuemeng fiercely, and a very vicious thought came out of his heart!

At the end of the banquet, Zhilin, Shouchuan, Hurd, and McMarfoy watched Zeng Siping and Xuan Yuemeng walk in front with a small basket, Xuan Hongtao and Zeng Jize holding hands, Xuan Huang and Xuan Dali, and a group of people from Zeng Mansion walked into Zeng Mansion, there was no way.

Hurd secretly said that this kid is really a demon, and the money he got this time is enough to buy one-eighth of an ironclad ship! Thinking that McMauff would actually make a reward of 100,000 taels at the end, he couldn't figure it out, and glared at McMauff fiercely.

McMarfoy was not to be outdone, he even wanted to die now, so he glared back, Lao Tzu has money, it is all Lao Tzu's own money, it is our Xintaixing Foreign Bank, it is your business! Even if the money is gone, the entire Qing Dynasty knows the strength of our Xintaixing Foreign Bank! This ad is a little more expensive, it's worth it!

Of course, McMarfoy is not a pure fool, he was frightened by Timothy Lee's financial resources, the scene in the Xuan Mansion just now made him lose his claim, McMarfoy felt that only a huge reward of 100,000 taels of silver could be a sure victory, and when he asked people to get 100,000 taels of silver tickets, he was heard by Timothy Lee, so McMarfoy did not dare to let Timothy Lee reward first in the last round, if Timothy Lee was directly higher than 100,000 taels, he would have no chance at all.

From a theoretical point of view, McMarfoy's large reward in the final round is reasonable, and it is the only way to prevent Timothy Lee from surpassing him.

What Hurd and McMarfoy lost was money, but fortunately, this money has little to do with Hurd, and McTMafoy's financial resources are abundant, which is easy to solve, but it is a distressing matter, and the matter of Zhilin and Xuan Hongbo is not so easy to solve.

When everyone dispersed, Zhilin dragged Xuan Hongbo away.

Xuan Hongbo was shocked, "Lord Zhilin, what are you doing?" ”

Zhilin dragged Xuan Hongbo into the concierge of the Xuan Mansion, there was no one here for the time being, and he lowered his voice and said angrily, "Your Xuan family is powerful enough?" Say! Are you teaming up with your little nephew to trick people? ”

Xuan Hongbo was almost not angry, "Lord Zhilin, look at what you said, do I dare?" I don't dare to pit you, I don't want to hide it, I hate my little nephew the most, this little rabbit cub is not a good bird, such a big person, he was born with a bad belly, his father is an official, have you heard of it? ”

Zhilin nodded, "What do you say?" ”

Xuan Hongbo sighed, "Since you have heard of it, you should know that my father and I hate this little rabbit cub to death, do you think, if he had taken my father to find Li Zhongtang, wouldn't my father have been reinstated long ago?" Does my father still need to take out all his family funds to donate such a six-grade official to me? ”

Zhilin said fiercely: "Shaodong Laxi, my money is less in your Xuan Mansion, and I just paid out a whole thousand and one hundred taels!" What do you say? ”

Xuan Hongbo wiped the sweat from his head, "I'm halfway out!" It's all done, right? You take care of it, take care of it, I don't have this money, my eldest brother's house has silver, and it has nothing to do with me. ”

Zhilin's hand holding Xuan Hongbo's collar loosened.

Xuan Hongbo smiled and said, "You take care of it, you take care of it." ”

Zhilin took a sip, "I lost my silver again, and I lost face again, what is this called?" Okay, half is half, go get me five hundred and fifty taels, go quickly! If it's late, his grandmother's will let you out! ”

Xuan Hongbo sighed, he had to go to his wife to ask for money, today's banquet, he could have earned more than six hundred taels, but now he almost gave it all away, and he also emptied all the money he had saved so hard.

Xuan Hongbo asked for money, and Xuan Yu's family had to complain to Xuan Hongbo a few words, Xuan Hongbo was upset, where did he care about his wife, and he was anxious to send money to Zhilin.

Zhilin accepted Xuan Hongbo's silver ticket, "Hmph! It's not so cheap, I'm telling you, you've got to think of a proper solution for your boss! Otherwise, it's not over! ”

Xuan Hongbo wiped his sweat, "What else do you want?" Didn't you see that my old family is now involved with the Zeng family? You should be angry, and bear with me. ”

Zhilin snorted, "Zeng family, what's wrong with the Zeng family?" Can't you come to the dark? ”

Xuan Hongbo looked at Zhilin suspiciously, but didn't understand the meaning, Zhilin took Xuan Hongbo over and whispered a few words in Xuan Hongbo's ear.

Xuan Hongbo's face changed greatly, "I'm afraid this is not good, after all, it is a member of my Xuan family, if this is known, I will never be able to get rid of it as an uncle." ”

Zhilin: "Who knows? Think about it yourself, I may not be free in this paragraph, and you will do it when the time comes! You've figured out how to do it, and then tell me. ”

Xuan Hongbo saw Zhilin's fierce appearance, he didn't dare to come out, he couldn't complain, and secretly hated Xuan Yuemeng, what a demon boy!

The words were divided into two ends, Zeng Jize invited Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Huang, as well as Xuan Yuemeng to his home.

Zeng Jize sat down in the hall, "Sit down, don't be restrained, you will be a family from now on." Let's all drink tea. ”

Xuan Yuemeng had already asked Dali to gather all the silver tickets, and put them on the table in a thick stack.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know what Zeng Jize would do with these silver tickets, don't really accept so many silver tickets, right? I'm really selling myself for nothing.

Xuan Hongtao was happy, he didn't think about the silver ticket at all, Xuan Huang's eyes glanced at the silver ticket on the table from time to time, and he never dreamed that his son could earn more than 100,000 taels of silver with one shot! is also as worried as Xuan Yuemeng, worried that Zeng Jize will treat all this money as a bride price.
