There is really nothing difficult in the world, as long as there are people who have a heart. After many inquiries, Yixiao's old mother was sick, and the opportunity came.

Yuan Shikai and Yixuan know each other, but they don't have any big dealings, and they haven't visited home.

The old mother is sick, and she is an official in the same dynasty, so it is reasonable to come to visit. It is normal to visit the sick elderly without empty-handed.

"Lord Yuan, this gift is too valuable, how can you afford it." Yixuan saw that a large bag of Korean ginseng humbly.

The two have never had any contact, and it is necessary to be polite to give such a heavy gift for the first time.

"Lord, haven't I been in North Korea for more than ten years? This thing is worthless to me. But there is one thing, there are fakes everywhere in the market, and this one of mine is absolutely genuine. The old lady's body needs to be mended. ”

This sound reasonable, and Yixuan had no choice but to laugh at it.

Can a gift be given for free? The relationship is moving around, and the closer they go, the more unusual the relationship between the two people becomes.

Through Yixuan, Yuan Shikai climbed to the military department Shangshu Ronglu again.

Yuan Shikai is very good at relationships, and through Li Hongzao, he has a relationship with Guangxu's teacher, Weng Tongyi, who has a special right to speak in the court.

Yixuan, Ronglu, Li Hongzao, and Weng Tongyi are all powerful people. Whether it is for the public or for the private sake, they are all willing to help Yuan Shikai with this.

For example, Li Hongzao, who rarely praises people, praised Yuan Shikai: "The family is a general, skilled in military strategy, and now he is training an army, and he will be able to be proud of China's green, prevent the shortcomings of each battalion, and speak urgently with the court." ”

Weng Tongyi even twisted his long beard and said: "This person is not slippery, but he can do anything." ”

However, the problem is that this position is too hot, and all the backends are not given in vain.

Even Rong Lu, who has always been decisive, has clenched his fists, Yuan Shikai is doing this favor to help, but he can't help but give other people's face! What to do?

He paid attention to Yuan Shikai, and it was appropriate to teach him face-to-face: "I plan to practice various methods when I am in the middle of nowhere." ”

Yuan Shikai understood. Immediately, he painstakingly put together a set of things such as the battalion system, the salary stamps, and the text of the contract for hiring foreign officers for the new army, and submitted them to the Military Affairs Office for supervision.

He also wrote an explanation: "Investigating the current military rise, it is often easy for the enemy to take advantage of and see the defeated repeatedly, although because of the lack of planning, in fact, the military system is not good." If you don't have the right time, sweep away, use Western methods, and train carefully, you will learn from the past, and it will be very chilling. Just like the original performance of Xiantai, I have to make up for the plan of changing ruts. ”

Immediately afterwards, Yuan Shikai also asked someone to translate the foreign military book clips and distribute them everywhere.

For a while, somehow, there was a saying that we had a military talent out of the Qing Dynasty. This person is none other than Yuan Shikai.

This time it's about the same, right? No, I don't know who said it, it seems that Lafayette already has a candidate in mind.

This is worth it, whether it is Li Hongzao or Weng Tongxi, it doesn't matter what kind of prince Yilu is, and what kind of military chief Rong Lu is. It doesn't matter how much power these people have, how much they have the right to speak, in front of Lafayette, they are all pediatricians.

You can't take a pack of Korean ginseng and give it to Galeries Lafayette, right? Don't want to live anymore? Not to mention Korean ginseng, can Galeries Lafayette see Changbai ginseng?

Li Hongzao and these people will definitely be able to speak in front of Lafayette, but what is the point? If Lafayette really has someone in his heart, who would dare to fight against her old man?

Ask who this person is? If the people have words, they will not beat you for being diligent or lazy, but they will beat you for not being long-sighted.

sent a few people, but they didn't inquire.

This is even more troublesome, which shows that this matter is really amazing, and no one dares to talk nonsense.

After so much effort and so many days of busy work, has it been in vain? Yuan Shikai was unwilling.

Where is this matter in Lafayette, is it true that no one dares to speak?

Yixuan said to Yuan Shikai, there is really one in this person, who is it? Li Lianying.

Li Lianying, Yuan Shikai has heard of it, the great eunuch, the big celebrity in front of Lafayette.

He had also heard that this man was both good and evil. When he says he is conceited, he looks down on everyone, and when he says he is inferior, he is inferior to anyone else.

After all, he is a eunuch, a so-called rootless person. Seeing people don't smile or speak, but no one can figure out his thoughts, and no one knows how deep his water is?

Isn't it just a eunuch?

Yixuan said to Yuan Shikai: "Brother Yuan, don't underestimate him as a eunuch, in our Great Qing Kingdom, maybe no one can do it, he can do it." ”

is already called a brother, which shows how fast the relationship between Yuan Shikai and Yixuan has developed.

How can I get in touch with Li Lianying? Yuan Shikai suddenly remembered someone.

This person's name is Ruan Zhongshu, and when he returned from his hometown in Henan, he had stayed in a hotel together, and the two of them talked very well.

Everyone has such an encounter. On the journey, the two got to know each other and got along very well. But if you are separated, you will be separated, and generally speaking, you will never see each other again in this life.

came in a hurry, went in a hurry, Yuan Shikai thought that he would not meet Ruan Zhongshu again, but he really not.

Just the day before yesterday, Yuan Shikai was walking casually on the road, and someone patted him on the shoulder behind him.

When I looked back, it was Ruan Zhongshu. This is not an ordinary fate, and the two of them immediately found a tavern and had a big drink.

Yuan Shikai remembered that Ruan Zhongshu told him that he was working in Li Lianying's brother's house, that is, as the family's private school teacher.

Ruan Zhongshu told him that Li Lianying's younger brother's family was Li Lianying's family.

When they were separated, he also secretly told Yuan Shikai that he and Li Lianying had a special relationship and had a very strong relationship. If you encounter any difficulties, you can find him.

At that time, Yuan Shikai really didn't take this to heart. A eunuch, no matter how big he is, is he also a eunuch? What can I do to him? Not to mention, it's really difficult to find this eunuch!

The local Ruan Zhongshu had already pointed it out to him, and Yuan Shikai immediately took action.

Place is easy to find, nice house, but the owner is low-key and doesn't like to be ostentatious.

is also a big celebrity of Galeries Lafayette, the same is the chief of the inner house, and the same is a eunuch. This is the difference between Li Lianying and An Dehai, and this is also the difference between Li Lianying and An Dehai.

Perhaps, it was An Dehai's unkindness that eventually became a mirror for Li Lianying.

When Ruan Zhongshu was mentioned, the porter didn't even stop him, and enthusiastically pointed out to him how to go.

It seems that Ruan Zhongshu is very popular here.

Ruan Zhongshu was teaching several children of the Li family when he saw Yuan Shikai waving outside the window, and hurriedly explained a few words to the children.

"Brother Yuan, is there something wrong?" Ruan Zhongshu asked.

Yuan Shikai nodded, and the two of them walked to a secluded place, and Yuan Shikai said in detail.

The stakes are very high, Ruan Zhongshu said: "Brother Yuan, since this matter is so important to you, I am afraid that I will not understand and misunderstand your business." You see, is that okay? ”

Yuan Shikai said: "Brother Zhong, please speak." ”

Ruan Zhongshu said: "You yourself tell him personally, so that you can explain it clearly." ”

Yuan Shikai asked: "Can I ask him to do it?" ”

Ruan Zhongshu laughed, "You said that with the relationship between the two of us, this is a thing?" ”

"When is the right time for me?"

Yuan Shikai was overjoyed, he was really afraid that Ruan Zhongshu would not understand.

Ruan Zhongshu thought for a moment, "You can just come tonight, he said when he left this morning, he will come back tonight." ”

"Don't you really need to make an appointment?" Yuan Shikai was still a little worried.

"Brother Yuan, can't you trust your brother? You're here, okay? Don't you know when the time comes? Ruan Zhongshu said lightly.

I didn't expect things to go so smoothly, I made an appointment, and in order not to delay Ruan Zhongshu to teach the children, Yuan Shikai quickly said goodbye.

Ruan Zhongshu didn't care about it, and he had to send Yuan Shikai out of the gate.

When saying goodbye at the gate, Yuan Shikai suddenly remembered and asked Ruan Zhongshu in a low voice: "You can't be empty-handed when you meet for the first time, right?" ”

Ruan Zhongshu thought for a moment, "What do you say?" It's not strange to have a lot of gifts, take something, or look pompous. ”

"What should I take?" Yuan Shikai asked.

"I can't say anything about your officialdom." Ruan Zhongshu shook his head.

Yuan Shikai asked: "Does Goryeo participate?" ”

"That's good stuff." Ruan Zhongshu nodded.

"I see."

Yuan Shikai admired his foresight, and when he returned from North Korea, he fortunately brought so much Korean ginseng with him and did not stay at home in Henan. They refused to leave some for each of the two mothers, saying that they often begged people outside and could use them.

In the evening, Yuan Shikai rushed to the Li Mansion at the time agreed with Ruan Zhongshu.

To Yuan Shikai's surprise, Li Lianying and Ruan Zhongshu were already waiting for him in the living room.

Although Yuan Shikai had heard of the approachability of this famous person, he still couldn't combine Li Lianying and the peaceful and humble elder in front of him.
