Chapter 51: The Gift

Zhu Qichao has no doubts about this. As a celebrity in front of Lao Yuan, are there still few people from all over the world who cast olive branches to him? is Feng Delin, a strongman in the military circle of the Fengtian Army, didn't he personally bring his son to celebrate his daughter's birthday? Still alive and dead to be the host. If it weren't for the fact that Feng was too old and too pedantic, the balance in his heart must have fallen on Feng.

Thinking of Feng Delin, Zhu Qichao's eyes couldn't help but turn to the table, and unexpectedly met Feng Delin's eyes, at this time Feng Zheng got up and walked over with his son.

For this opportunity to get close to the central staff, Feng Delin gave Zhu Qichao enough face and finally got a place. Thinking about it, from now on to take Zhu Qichao's line, then he and Zhang Zuolin will have a better chance of winning the future Fengtian King, and he is still a little proud. Until Zhang Hanqing appeared by mistake and sat on the throne in a grand manner, I don't want to know the meaning.

I didn't expect Zhu Qichan to reject him so clearly, of course he was very unhappy. He is a shrewd person, although Zhu Qichao agreed, he suddenly let Zhang Hanqing sit in the chief, and he knew his intentions with his toes. He didn't know that Zhu Qichao had also done bad things with good intentions, and if he knew Zhang Hanqing's identity in advance, it was unknown whether he would be so affectionate.

Although he never understood why Zhang Hanqing was able to be a distinguished guest in the court, Feng Delin still wanted to make a final effort. He personally took the wine glass, walked over with a smile, and said to Zhu Qichao: "Today's joy of Gui Lao Lingyuan's birthday, the old man is at the right time, so he should borrow flowers to offer Buddha and congratulate the third lady." ”

The Zhu family is extremely strict, Feng Delin came to congratulate a lot of his family, and the family members all stood up together. Zhu Qichao didn't dare to say: "How can Zhu Mou, dare Brother Lao Delin to come in person, isn't this a loss of the little girl's life?" "Fill it up right away.

Seeing that Zhu Qichao's words were very sincere, Feng Delin relieved himself slightly, then patted Zhang Hanqing on the shoulder and said, "It turns out that Han Qing and Gui Lao have such an irreversible relationship, which surprised Feng. What you want Gui Lao to know is that the dog Feng Yong, the small character is also Han Qing. The two Hanqing are both Ling Yuanshou, which is also a coincidence. ”

Zhu Qichao knew what Feng Delin meant, which was to test his intimacy with Zhang Zuolin. Today's incident is purely accidental, he doesn't want to stand in line with Feng and Zhang---- extend a hand of friendship to the generals outside, which has always been taboo by those in power. He snorted and said: "The two Han Qing are both bright for a while, old and honorable. He pulled Zhang Hanqing and said, "But this Hanqing came at the invitation of the little girl, and before that, he had never met him." The two of you Han Qing are both from outside the border, and you have to be close to each other when you meet in a foreign land. ”

What's close? Who doesn't know who yet. The two Han Qing glanced at each other, and they both quickly ignored each other.

The words seemed to have been said very clearly, but these words could not completely relieve Feng Delin's doubts. Why is Zhang Hanqing familiar with the Miss Zhu family? Why did Zhu Qichao let him sit at the main table? What is his attitude towards the relationship between juniors?

Zhu Qichao didn't want to explain anything, and a Feng Delin didn't necessarily need him to talk much. Compared with Feng Delin, he prefers the much younger Zhang Zuolin. The two Fengtian strongmen are both division commanders, and their eldest sons are also the same age, and they seem to be the best among them, but considering that Zhang Zuolin has enough time for Zhang Hanqing to take over power, Feng Delin may not. Sometimes, the contest between the next generation is also a contest that can determine politics.

But Feng Delin is also very lively, he was already the head of the green forest before Zhang Zuolin, and his generation is a generation higher than Zhang Zuolin, and his insight into dealing with people is very comparable. When Zhu Qichan introduced Zhang Hanqing as Miss Zhu San's appointment, he quickly caught a glimpse of the disdain in Zhu Songyun's eyes, which made him preliminarily judge: Zhang Hanqing is not very familiar with Miss Zhu San, or Zhang Zuolin is not more connected than him to Zhu Qichao.

He rolled his eyes, and then took over the topic and said: "On the birthday of the third lady, Feng failed to prepare much, and the dog only entrusted a foreign company ** Ford car in a hurry, and the deadline is coming, and I hope that the third miss will accept it with a smile." ”

Good guys, it's a car, and you can't let people live? You must know that the era is not as good as now, some people jokingly say that the bicycle of the 1920s is equivalent to the Rolls-Royce of later generations, what is this car worth?

Miss Zhu San is very happy that her family has a car, which is her father's. What a sight it would be to be able to own a car of your own! Moreover, she was given a car at the birthday banquet, and she was envious of others, and she glanced at Zhang Hanqing proudly.

Interview gift in front of Zhang Hanqing, isn't it a humble person? Also, everyone else has made such a big gift, can Zhang Hanqing, who is sitting at the main table, sit still? Zhu Guangmu's face turned green, although he was a guest, but the lord was humiliated, he was a few years older than Zhang Hanqing, if he didn't have anything to handle, it would be a little embarrassing---- and he really didn't have any preparation.

Zhu Qichao said that it was absolutely unacceptable. Taking other people's soft hands is equivalent to expressing a position between Lao Zhang and Lao Feng, Lao Zhu is not so short-sighted, but he still thanked Feng Delin for his kindness.

Anyway, Feng Delin's mind had already been expressed, and he said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Is Elder Gui too light-hearted?" Also, with Zhang Xian's nephew here, he can't get the gift of decay. ”

Sure enough, the general came! Zhang Hanqing scolded for a while, you are a son who relies on Jinshan to give gifts to your son, but you want me to look good! Fortunately, I was prepared, otherwise I would not be able to get off the stage by him like this. However, whether his idea can be recognized by Zhu Qichao requires some consideration.

Zhang Hanqing's artificiality, in Feng Delin's eyes, is a manifestation of the poor of the donkey. Also, when he came in, he found that he was empty-handed, and listening to the conversation between him and Miss Zhu San, he also knew that he didn't know her birthday at all. In this way, to buy a birthday gift again, it will be inferior in any case, and it will be up to him to answer.

is Zhu Songyun, who is also full of smiles. She deliberately made Zhang Hanqing ugly, knowing that there were many people today, but she deliberately didn't mention a word last night. With his "arrogance", he will definitely not inquire first, is it just a light meal! Now, watch you eat deflated in public!

Her eyes, Zhang Hanqing saw in his eyes. Want me to look good? There is no word in the dictionary of my brother, and my brother believes in "tooth for tooth", you listen!

With a "poof" smile, he said to Zhu Songyun: "It turns out that today is my sister's birthday!" My sister didn't tell me last night, so I didn't know until now! ”

The crowd of people who were talking and laughing all looked up. "Last night?" They all speculated in their hearts about the meaning of the word. Can't blame them for thinking crookedly, Zhang Hanqing deliberately emphasized the word "last night" a little. The people sitting here are all people who are immersed in officialdom, and they have always been rich in associations between inside and outside the words.

Zhu Songyun is a celebrity in the social field, she understands Zhang Hanqing's implication, this guy really dares to say anything! actually took advantage of her verbally in front of her father. But at this time, she didn't want to explain rashly, because after careful investigation, Zhang Hanqing was just stating the facts, and nothing else was said!

"If you want to talk about gifts, Xueliang is just a poor student now, and he can't take Feng Shibo's magnificent behavior like a car. My father has always been honest, and he will never allow Xueliang to compare himself with others like this. But through my observation, Gui Lao is not the kind of person who hates the poor and loves the rich---- if he wants to be rich, there will be fewer people in the world who want to pay bribes to Gui Lao? first implicitly pointed out Feng Delin's behavior as "bribery" through self-deprecation, and then praised Zhu Qichao, who prided himself on being high, and also elevated Zhang Zuolin, killing three birds with one stone.

Sure enough, Zhu Qichuan was happy all of a sudden, while Feng Delin was full of anger, but it was not easy to attack in front of the public. Even Zhu Songyun nodded secretly, this guy, don't look at his young age and do things aggressively, he can really speak. But if she had heard what Zhang Hanqing said next, would she have been so derogatory?

And he didn't know the true meaning of Feng Shibo's gift, and the younger brother didn't dare to compare indiscriminately. Otherwise, what if this is the dowry of the third sister? Zhang Hanqing added leisurely, regardless of the snickering of the attendees and Miss Zhu San's green face.

Come and don't be rude, who told you to trick me first?

"But Xueliang really has a precious gift to give, but not with Miss Zhu, but with Gui Lao. When Xueliang came to Beijing, he passed by Qinhuangdao, and because he admired Cao Cao's "Watching the Sea", he deliberately stopped here for two days, ready to experience the beautiful scenery of 'trees and grasses'. He said slowly. lied, Zhang Hanqing was also the head of the road, because of this statement, he knew that today was Miss Zhu San's birthday, and he was brewing. It's not a coincidence today, he will find an opportunity to go to Zhu's Mansion to explain this grand blueprint to Zhu Qichao.

"Where it is striking, there are mixed feelings. What was supposed to be a good summer resort was divided into pieces: there were foreign missionaries in the east, and the so-called local stone collars in the middle were under the control. The German barracks in the west were sold due to the war, so many dignitaries and nobles flocked there to buy land and build houses for summer recuperation. There is nothing to reproach in these principles, but these missionaries, diplomatic envoys, merchants, doctors, teachers, and staff sometimes get drunk and gallop horses, beat people, and pick mountain flowers, and the police do not dare to interfere.

'The horse's trespass on sovereignty is the magistrate's abandonment'. Seeing this, Xueliang sighed with emotion, and was willing to use his savings of 300 yuan over the years as the starting capital, and invite people with lofty ideals to jointly launch the Beidaihe Seaside Autonomous Public Welfare Association. This is not for the sake of entertainment, but purely for the sake of international status, and I can't bear to sit back and watch the power of local business management fall into the hands of outsiders. It's just that the good position is humble and light, although there is blood, but there is weakness.

So on a whim, can you ask Gui Lao to come out? With the fame of Gui Lao, with a wave of his arms, people of insight will definitely follow. Moreover, it has long been heard that Gui Lao has studied ancient buildings and industries, and Gui Lao will not sit idly by in terms of development, planning and design of Beidaihe. If so, the development of Beidaihe can be expected, which will be of great benefit to the country and the people. Xueliang also made a vow that if Gui Lao came out, Xueliang would not only persuade his father to support him, but also build a villa in Beidaihe and give it to Miss Zhu San to make up for the lack of today's gifts. ”

In later generations, he once played Qinhuangdao once, and knew that Zhu Qichao was the first dignitary to develop Beidaihe, and the tomb of his wife was built there, which later became a park. With Zhu's compassion and compassion for the country and the people, he must be deeply interested in the development of Beidaihe.

Really.
