Although the Zhu family is wide, making friends everywhere is also his way of survival in politics. Looking at his daughter's embarrassed look, he knew that this matter must have something to do with his daughter. However, making such a fuss at the door, no matter what the reason, is in hindrance to his reputation. He is also a decisive person, he knows that he can't help it, and he doesn't ask at the moment, so he glanced at Zhu Songyun angrily, and then quickly changed his face, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Songyun's guest, but it was rude." All the guests who come are guests, since Songyun is invited, let's sit together. ”

Zhang Hanqing decided not to eat it. After he finished stacking the cruel words, he just wanted to leave alone, and where to eat was not a meal! But who is Zhu Qichao? Although Zhang Hanqing is young, he has already revealed his stubbornness that is not willing to be subordinated to others. He knows that although he has a wide range of contacts, he still has a purpose, and the people he makes friends with are all worth a certain amount. Although this person doesn't know who it is, it's better to offend people less when it's not necessary. I have been an official in Beijing for a long time, and I have a deep understanding of the ups and downs of the workplace.

Zhu Qichao made an appointment in person, what a big face, Zhang Hanqing didn't want to go away, but it was already clear that it was a boring dinner, would this meal still be interesting? He thought about it for a while, but still refused: "Thank you Shibo for your kindness, it's just that there are too many guests in the room, and if you have to work with Shibo to arrange it, Xueliang will be very uneasy." A few of my buddies are out there, so I'm better with them. ”

Zhu Qichao couldn't think of whose child was called "Xueliang" when he broke his head, but as soon as Zhang Hanqing called Shibo, he had to make arrangements for him no matter what, otherwise he would offend people deeply. He swept his eyes, and it was true that there was no vacancy at the table, but this did not prevent him from being decisive: "You are a friend of Songyun, and you are all my juniors, so sit with us, and everyone will be close together." ”

The Zhu family invited people, of course, full of guests. It is really not easy to find two consecutive empty seats here in a short period of time, the key is to look at the spirit of these two young people, especially Zhang Hanqing, who are not afraid of the ground, and this kind of temporarily placed seat is probably not suitable. In order to avoid twists and turns, the middle-aged man immediately decided to let Zhang Hanqing and his family sit together.

Needless to say, this middle-aged man is Miss Zhu San's father, Zhu Qichao, a celebrity in Beiyang, a Dinghai Shenzhen of the Department of Transportation, and the current Minister of Internal Affairs and Director of the Preparatory Office of the Old Yuan Dengda.

Today is the sixteenth birthday of his favorite third daughter. At the age of twenty-eight, it was a major event in the girl's life, and he planned to hold a party at home---- he had always advocated foreign style, and he had always eaten Western food at home. However, a dignitary from outside the customs came with his son and proposed to organize a banquet for him, which was difficult to resist, and Miss Zhu San liked it the most, so she was here. Relatives and friends only invited close friends, which is considered a small-scale gathering.

However, with his status and status, how can he get a "small" word if he says it is a small gathering? As soon as the news came, countless crowds surged, making Zhu Qichuan regret not being at the beginning. But the people who don't stretch out their hands and don't hit the smiling face are all colleagues and friends, and everyone is here, how can they turn them away? There is no choice but to charter the entire hotel lobby, only a screen in one corner for family gatherings.

The wooden fan opened again, and it turned out that there was another table in the deepest part, Yingying Yanyan, all of whom were family members, and a middle-aged woman with several girls of different ages gathered in a circle. Seeing this scene, even Zhang Hanqing was stunned---- wouldn't he be with the Zhu family, right? This face is not ordinarily big!

I can't help but admire Zhu Qichao's adaptability and spicy methods, just with this hand, he will definitely be able to eat well in Beiyang. He pretended to be frightened and said, "How dare I sit with my aunt and sisters? Uncle can arrange for two more chairs, and we will be more affectionate outside. ”

In fact, letting Zhang Hanqing sit with his family is Zhu Qichao's emergency work. He was born in a Western-style business, and he has no problem with the defense of men and women, but letting outsiders sit at the family table in front of the public will give outsiders reverie. Because of his daughters, some of whom have reached the age of marriage or even marriage, letting strange men enter the list is too abrupt to the outside world and is easy to cause a sensation.

Yes, sensational. Considering the popularity of his most famous third daughter to the outside world, this influence is very concerned to him. If Zhang Hanqing is alone, it will be enough, after all, he is still young, and there is another Zhu Guangmu who is in his right age to consider.

It's not that Zhu Guangmu is bad, on the contrary, in Zhu Qichao's evaluation, although Zhu Guangmu has not spoken beside him, he is calm and measured, and his posture is high, showing a good upbringing. Coupled with the fact that he also wears a suit and leather shoes, he is worthy of a young talent, and Zhu Qichuan admires him very much. But the more this is the case, the more attention must be paid to the attitude of the outside world. If someone else suggested, in order to avoid suspicion, he really wanted to add two chairs, or change a few old friends sitting next to him to this table. Zhang Hanqing's words made him make up his mind, isn't it just a meal?

He waved his hand, and without saying anything, he appointed two chairs, and said with a smile: "Let you sit down, our Zhu family banquet guests, how can we let the guests stand?" In Beijing, Zhu Qichao was evaluated as "steady and capable, and everything must be done", not without reason.

The guests in the room were very puzzled, they didn't know what the origin of Zhang Hanqing and the two was, just now they were arguing like eating **, and now they are like a family. Zhu Qichao's old friends are also strange, this close relative of the Zhu family seems to have never appeared in these two people? Feng Delin and Feng Yong's father and son looked at each other, not knowing what the relationship between Zhang Hanqing and the Zhu family was. Especially Feng Delin, originally wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to get close to Lao Zhu, so that he could speak in the battle with Zhang Zuolin in the future, but now it seems that Xuan. But I'm glad I came across such a show, otherwise I would still be here in vain, right?

Mrs. Zhu is well maintained, and she should have been a great beauty when she was young, otherwise she would not have given birth to such a group of extremely beautiful daughters, this was Zhang Hanqing's first reaction. However, his judgment is basically correct, Zhu Qichao and his wife only gave birth to a son and a daughter, and the other nine daughters and a son were all born to this continuation.

The ten daughters of the Zhu family are all beautiful. Although the latter few are still young, they still have the potential of beauties. Thinking about it, Zhu Qichao himself is very attractive, and it is normal for his daughters to inherit the genes of their parents, and they are good-looking.

Zhang Hanqing and Zhu Guangmu greeted Mrs. Zhu in an orderly manner, and also greeted all the Yingying Yanyan. The tutor of the Zhu family is very good, Mrs. Zhu greeted her very decently, and her daughters also stood up to thank them one by one. Except for the eldest and second young ladies who are already married, the fourth lady Zhu Jinyun, who is slightly younger than Miss Zhu San, should be the same age as Zhang Hanqing; Later, the famous Miss Zhu Wu, I'm afraid that it is the little girl with pigtails and wearing a smaller skirt, right? It seems to be only about ten years old. The reason for this is that the other girls are smaller.

Maybe it's a psychological effect, Zhu Guangmu is not as frank as Zhang Hanqing, when his eyes fell on the girl who was slightly younger than Miss Zhu San, his face was a little red, and in Zhang Hanqing's eyes, they were cute.

cough, he wanted to cough and remind: Don't worry, that's just your future sister-in-law, your wife, the pigtail who is smaller than her. There is a way that is just without desire, and there is no person who cares, his heart is also very open, and in Zhu Qichao's eyes, it is "this child can calm down"!

The hosts have arrived, and since it is a banquet, of course I have to give a speech. Zhu Qichuan is magnificent, and of course making some remarks is the meaning of the topic. He raised his wine glass, glanced at the audience, and said in a deep voice: "Little Girl's Day, thank you for taking the time to come, Zhu is grateful." Now use a glass of thin wine to chat as a thank you. ”

Everyone raised their glasses, then sat down one after another, and the banquet began.

Zhang Hanqing knew that it was Zhu Songyun's birthday, and suddenly felt bad---- these two sat in the main seat empty-handed, and when the guests came to give birthday gifts, wouldn't he be too passive? As soon as his mind moved, he felt that Zhu Guangmu also looked at it like a god, killing chickens and wiping his neck generally meant to inform Tan Hai that they should buy gifts quickly. This secretary of his in history is really competent, and even these things instantly come to mind.

However, Zhang Hanqing has a quick wit, to be more precise, he has already planned, and he just responded to the pressure on this occasion. He glanced at Zhu Guangmu and shook his head very calmly to indicate that there was no need to worry.

Zhu Qichao beckoned everyone to sit down, although his eyes were always on everyone, but Yu Guang did not let go of the two around him, Zhang Hanqing's maturity and stability that were not commensurate with his age made him suspicious. He sipped a cup of tea, looked at Zhang Hanqing gently, and said slowly: "If Zhu's old eyes are not dizzy, I don't seem to have seen two of them, right?" ”

He's really good, and he can't bear to ask questions until now. Zhang Hanqing never concealed it, and said bluntly: "Zhu Shibo has a really good memory, the little nephew and Shibo have never met, but my father has admired Shibo. ”

That's the point. Zhu Qichao was able to fold and hand over, but he didn't understand the relationship behind Zhang Hanqing, so he immediately asked: "Oh, who is your father?" ”

Zhang Hanqing immediately said respectfully: "My father is currently the commander of the 27th Division in Fengtian and the general of Shengwu, Zhang Zuolin. ”

Others put the title of General Sheng Wu in the front and the position of division commander in the back, but Zhang Hanqing did the opposite. This reversal of the order was not unintentional on his part. In his opinion, there are dozens or hundreds of titles of generals, but there are only about 20 of them in the whole country who are ranked as the first-level commanders of the Beiyang Army, and the weight of division commanders far exceeds that of generals, especially in these turbulent years.

The corners of Zhu Qichao's eyes twitched unconsciously. He and Zhang Zuolin are just general friends, strictly speaking, they can't talk about friendship at all. But in recent years, Zhang Zuolin has been very wishful, especially in the matter of supporting Yuan as the emperor, he has won the heart of the old Yuan, and he is listed as one of the thirteen Taibao who supports Yuan along with him. In addition, Zhang Zuolin has military power, which is essentially more important than his position as a civilian commander-in-chief.

Of course, it's not that he's bad, otherwise the head of the Preparatory Office for the Enthronement wouldn't let him do it. However, the turmoil in the cabinet is far faster than the general who commands the army, and it is difficult to say what will happen in the future, and he is also very glad that he just kept an eye on it and did not drive Zhang Hanqing and others away. A person has a long time in this life, and besides, he still has the next generation, so he really has one more friend and one more way in politics.

He is not a pedantic person, otherwise he would not have experienced the Republic of China and New China and still lived a nourishing life. His smile deepened: "Yuting has made a lot of efforts during this time, and the president admires him very much." "Bringing out Yuan Shikai is to show that he still has the advantage of being close to the center.

Zhang Hanqing also pretended to be very mercenary and said: "It's all based on Shibo's good intentions, before Xueliang came to Beijing, my father also asked me to be closer to Shibo. ”
