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 sweats, he just won a show, Zeng Jize, do you want to invite all the officials of the whole Zhili here?

What if I don't win? Aren't you ashamed? Could it be that Zeng Jize also knew that he would definitely win? "Uncle Zeng, did you know that I was going to be a Zhongxiucai?"

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 invite guests." How would I have known in advance that you would be a showman? You know how to tell fortunes when you are your great-uncle? If you don't get hit, won't it be a slap in the face? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sighed, it seems that Zeng Jize doesn't know that Li Hongzhang helped him, it seems that only Li Hongzhang knows it, he is relieved, such a trendy thing, after all, he still wants others to think that it is his own ability and talent. However, it's just a show, do you use it for half a month?

Zeng's mansion is full of lights, extremely luxurious! Zeng Fu is rich, and Zeng Fu does not hide it! After all, as long as the Zeng family honestly works for the Qing court, the court can allow the Zeng family to be rich, and they can have as much money as they want, just don't move the idea of the court.

This side has just opened, and the guests over there are still coming in in an endless stream, and the entire big tree alley is full of flowing water seats, and there are 500 tables! Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, just the chefs of the Zeng family and the Xuan family, this was far from enough, and in the end, Zeng Jize asked people to find almost all the chefs in the Tianjin restaurant!

The guests include even fewer of the leading figures of the entire Zhili. Except for Zeng Jize who didn't invite any officials from Beijing, the surrounding areas of Tianjin have all arrived spontaneously, and Zeng Guofan's protégés are all over the world! And now he is still in the position of the governor of Liangjiang, and the Zeng family's momentum is still in full swing in the Qing Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang personally congratulated, and the whole scene added more style!

Zeng Jize has changed his clothes twice, and he looks like a groom. Seeing that Li Hongzhang had arrived, he personally hugged Xuan Yuemeng to greet him, "Why did Lord Zhongtang come in person?" How can this be done? I can't afford it, I really can't afford it. ”

Li Hongzhang smiled: "How can I not come? If the teacher is not far away in Jinling, I guess 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, Xuan Yuemeng's heart is also beautiful, he likes to see a good family relationship, how many years of friendship has this been?

Li Hongzhang took over Xuan Yuemeng from Zeng Jize's hands. Personally hugged Xuan Yuemeng, "Yuemeng, this high school show, I have to make persistent efforts in the future, and I can't be complacent?" It is necessary to continue the Zhongxiang test, the Zhonghui test, until the palace test, and the title of the gold list! ”

Xuan Yuemeng looked at Li Hongzhang. Blink, heart said. It's up to you to keep up the good work, right? I don't even have the level of a child, can I take the test in the countryside? Still in the middle school will try? Then it's all in Beijing? Also the nave test? That's all in the Golden Luan Palace! The minister of the Manchu Dynasty, which one is not full of learning? You put me on the throne of a showman, but you can't just leave me alone, tsk......

Zeng Jize said with a smile: "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. It's here with your eyes open and closed! When the time comes, the headquarters will really become an old man, and the headquarters is hoping that Yuemeng will grow up in the future and become the pillar of my Qing Dynasty! Contribute to the imperial court. ”

Li Hongzhang's words are indeed from the heart. Xuan Yuemeng interpreted the meaning, and also felt that Li Hongzhang did not have any selfishness in promoting himself, with his own age, he was much younger than his son, and he must not be able to rely on himself, which can only be explained as Li Hongzhang is a reserve talent 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 have someone give them to the Beiyang Yamen, you say, do I want to buy them?" ”

Li Hongzhang was secretly funny, you robbed it and bought it? said quietly: "Then the headquarters doesn't care, someone sends something to the government, and the headquarters has always been willing to accept it 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. (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 guns, 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!) How could I be so atmospheric otherwise? Li Hongzhang's broken guns, I can't look at them, 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 any matter, you can contact Hongtao directly!" ”

Zeng Jize was overjoyed and said to Xuan Yuemeng: "Thank you Lord Zhongtang soon, 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 little squeeze, but he knew that this was because Li Hongzhang was satisfied with the five hundred foreign guns he sent back, after all, everyone likes to take things for nothing without spending money! He sent 500 guns, which made Li Hongzhang happy more 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 thanks!

gave Xuan Hongtao power, this is a thank you to yourself.

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, and said sweetly: "Thank you, Zhongtang!" ”

With a crisp sound, Young Master Meng still took a sip of incense on Li Zhongtang's old face. (Quite a sacrifice for hue.) ）

The guests present and Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Hongtao, Xuan Huang and other members of the Xuan family who happened to arrive were secretly surprised when they saw this scene, no wonder Xuan Yuemeng could develop so fast, it turned out that he and Li Zhongtang were already in this relationship?

Don't say it's a child, everyone believes that with Li Zhongtang's strength, if you hold a puppy, the puppy can go to the Yamen of the second grade to sit in the hall!

Li Hongzhang didn't expect Xuan Yuemeng to kiss himself, which made him laugh, and he also kissed Xuan Yuemeng's chubby face heavily.

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 grade of the big people, 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: "Yuemeng will not dare to forget in this life and this life, I am Li Zhongtang and my great-uncle's people." ”

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 has nothing to repay except for his death!" Woohoo......"

Xuan Zonglu also almost knelt down, and couldn't stop pretending, "Li Zhongtang, thank you, my Xuan family is grateful." ”

Li Hongzhang said with a smile: "You don't need to be polite, Yue Meng is Ji Ze's son-in-law, I am Lord Zeng's protégé, and Ji Ze are naturally their own people, so everyone is their own people!" Hong Tao, hurry up? Originally, I received such a big power and responsibility, when I was promoted to the next level, at least it was a positive fifth grade, but considering that you did not make meritorious contributions, I was not busy reporting to the imperial court, and when you made achievements, the headquarters would naturally ask for merit for you. ”

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 Lu Garden, the first thing Xuan Yuemeng did was to go to see Xuan Yuelei and see if Xuan Yuelei was better?

Xuan Yuemeng just 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 was going 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 worth of wine." ”

Xuan Huang nodded at Xuan Yuemeng's brain, "This era? You're only a one-year-old villain, what do you know? Speaking old-fashioned, my mother told you, don't go to your eldest brother. ”

Xuan Yue said strangely: "Why? ”

Xuan Huang: "Anyway, I told you not to go, you don't want to go, there is no reason." (To be continued.) )
