As soon as Lin Yuan heard the news, his heart hung in the air, and he thought, "If they don't go back to Tianjin, but stay in Beijing, do they want to stay and deal with me?" So Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What is their reason for staying in Beijing?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "Emperor Guangxu wanted to inspect them, so they stayed on the outskirts of Beijing. ”

Lin Yuan then asked, "How is your relationship with Emperor Guangxu recently?" ”

Zhang Hua smiled: "Our relationship is not bad, he hasn't looked for me since he invited me to dinner last time, but he is a busy person, so there is nothing strange about it." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Then does he know about our relationship?" ”

Zhang Hua said: "I told him that we are world friends, my father and I are friends of life and death, and I watched you grow up." ”

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard this, and said, "Lao Zhang, I won't take advantage of you like this!" ”

Zhang Hua said: "Who made me more than ten years older than you? How can I not say that? ”

Lin Yuan asked again, "What about Guan'er?" Any news? ”

Zhang Hua said: "There is no news, but you don't come back, she lives in the palace every day, and comes back every few days to pass on the information." ”

Lin Yuan asked a few more words about the company, then turned off the communicator, put down the communicator Lin Yuan thought: "Yuan Shikai's troops stayed in Beijing, what are they going to do?" Is it that Emperor Guangxu wants to review them? ”

There was nothing to do on this day, but the next day, Xiao Dezhang and Yuan Yulin were uncharacteristically feasting Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan thought: "It's really strange, they used to hide when they saw me, but now they actually take the initiative to feast me!" Lin Yuan didn't have much to do, so he went to the banquet, and in the next few days, hunting, watching plays, and tea parties, Xiao Dezhang and Yuan Yulin changed their tricks to play with Lin Yuan almost every day.

On the evening of July 17, one of Xiao Dezhang's attendants found Lin Yuan and said to Lin Yuan: "Lin Shuai, tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, our family will hold a banquet in the mansion, please enjoy the light." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Still having a banquet? There is no free time these days. ”

The attendant smiled: "Tomorrow's banquet is extraordinary, our family said that if Lin Shuai refuses to come, he will cut off my head!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "What's at the banquet?" ”

The attendant smiled mysteriously and said, "The villain is just a messenger and errand, and the villain doesn't know anything about these things." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the banquet tomorrow." ”

The next day, Lin Yuan came to Xiao Dezhang's mansion, and was taken by a servant to a small pavilion by the lake, Xiao Dezhang and Yuan Yulin were waiting for him inside, this time without the company of the staff and guests, the scene was very quiet, Lin Yuan smiled: "I heard about today's banquet last night, I have been thinking about it, and I haven't even slept well!" ”

Xiao Dezhang said with a smile: "Lin Shuai is thrifty on weekdays, and he hasn't eaten any good things, so I specially found some high-quality things today!" After speaking, he said to the attendant, "Bring the cutlery first!" ”

At this time, I saw three beautiful women walking over, each holding a tray in their hands, and a delicate carved rosewood box was placed on the tray, the women walked to the front of the three people, put the box in their hands in front of the three people, and left with a smile, Lin Yuan opened the box, only to see that the things inside were very similar to small scissors, small hammers, and a few things he had never seen.

Xiao Dezhang smiled: "This is the eight pieces of crabs, we eat crabs today!" Then he gave the attendant a color, and three more women came up, holding a delicate small plate in their hands, and there was a crab on the plate, Xiao Dezhang smiled and said, "Does Lin Shuai know where this crab came from?" ”

Lin Yuan shook his head slightly, and Xiao Dezhang smiled: "This is what I asked people to get from Yangcheng Lake in Suzhou!" The king of crabs! Hairy crabs in Yangcheng Lake! ”

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard this: "Gansu to Suzhou is thousands of miles away, I don't know how much manpower and material resources they spent to transport the crabs!" Lin Yuan pointed to the crab on the plate and asked, "Could it be that we only have three crabs?" ”

Xiao Dezhang smiled: "Of course not, we have a lot of crabs?" But this one is enough for us to eat for a while, come, I'll teach you to eat eight crabs, the first step is to cut off the crab legs with small scissors......" Xiao Dezhang took out the small scissors and cut them slowly and methodically, Lin Yuan looked at his movements, and a hint of foreboding arose in his heart, thinking: "After dismantling this crab like him, how can it take an hour!" ”

Sure enough, Xiao Dezhang dismantled the crab while talking, and asked Lin Yuan to learn from him, a crab was dismantled for an hour and a half, and after dismantling the crab, Xiao Dezhang asked someone to send another one, Lin Yuan noticed: The glamorous women who sent the crabs were different, obviously each crab was sent by a special woman.

This crab feast Lin Yuan ate all the way from ten o'clock in the morning to ten o'clock in the evening, but he was only half full, Xiao Dezhang reluctantly let Lin Yuan go back, Lin Yuan returned to his residence, found Shen Wanqing waiting for him, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "Why are you still hungry after a day's meal?" ”

Lin Yuan said helplessly: "I ate a few crabs in one day, can I not be hungry?" Why don't you sleep so late? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Beijing has sent important information, and I am in a hurry to tell you, so I have been waiting for you." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What information?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "Let's eat first, let's talk about it after eating." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Just say it quickly, I'll eat the intelligence as a meal." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Kang Youwei recently had a twist and turn, asking Emperor Guangxu to implement a change!" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "In our era, he tried his best to change the law because of the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War, why did he change the law when we won the victory in this era?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "According to our intelligence: Kang Youwei has seen Mongolia's reform and thinks that Mongolia's policy is very good, so he hopes that the Qing court will promote it throughout the country, by the way, he also specially mentioned you!" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Mentioned me?" What did he say? ”

Shen Wanqing replied: "Kang Youwei said, Lin Shuai is an immortal talent, I hope that Emperor Guangxu can hand over the responsibility of reform to you, if you are fully responsible for the reform and reform of the law, the wealth and strength of the Qing Dynasty will far surpass the Taixi countries!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "This thing is interesting, I was still worried that the Qing court would attack me, but I didn't expect Kang Youwei to come out and insert such a lever!" ”

Shen Wanqing took out a newspaper from her bag and said: "This is an article published by Liang Qichao, a disciple of Kang Youwei, in our Kanto Daily - "Mongolian Experience", which reads: 'Mongolia was originally a land of barbarians outside the country, and the people did not know etiquette when eating and drinking, but under the rule of Lin Shuai, for only half a year, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and they were kind and courteous; There are several industrial and mining factories in Mongolia, and the products are exported to the western Taixi countries, so with Lin Shuai as the leader of the change, it will make my Qing Dynasty reappear in the magnificent scenery of the Tang Dynasty! ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What do the people mean?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Of course I support you to change the law!" Not only the people, but also Zhang Hua, many high-ranking officials also support you! I think Xiao Dezhang has been playing with you a lot these days, and he should just want to slap you! ”

Lin Yuan nodded, and at this moment, someone came to report: "Lin Shuai, Gonggong Zhang invites you to go to the mansion tomorrow for the whole fish feast!" ”
