0004 Concession News

Xuan Xu hugged Xuan Yuemeng out of the hall, he didn't expect the old man to agree to let Xuan Yuemeng go out to play, "You must be a playful ghost when you grow up, do people who are only eight months old know that they want to go out to play?" ”

It's really awkward to be held by a ten-year-old girl, since Xuan Yuemeng started to speak yesterday, she only said a few words simply, and only said a complete sentence to Xuan Zonglu for the first time just now, "Let me go." ”

Xuan Xu was taken aback, and his surprise was far greater than Xuan Zonglu, because Xuan Zonglu never paid attention to Xuan Yuemeng's body, and Xuan Xu's body pounced on Xuan Yuemeng's body wholeheartedly, and after passing the corner door, Xuan Xu's put Xuan Yuemeng down, squatting and looking at Xuan Yuemeng: "What did you just say?" You repeat? ”

Xuan Yuemeng scratched Xuan Xu's nose, "I said let me down, I'm going out now, let's talk about it when I come back." ”

Xuan Xu sat on the ground with a bang, Xuan Yuemeng was not afraid of showing a little shocking performance in front of Xuan Xu, and left Xuan Xu's sight with his short legs, he didn't mean to show anything, but he knew that Xuan Xu was a person who would never hurt him, he didn't need to pretend to be too hard in Xuan Xu's place, and he was still wary of others when it was time to cover up.

Xuan Xu's came back to his senses for a long time, got up, and caught up with Xuan Yuemeng, who still needed to walk against the wall, in only two steps, and pulled Xuan Yuemeng's little fat paw in surprise, although it was incredible, but just as Xuan Yuemeng thought, Xuan Xu's looked at Xuan Yuemeng's likes it, it's normal, I just think that Xuan Yuemeng is much smarter than ordinary children.

Xuan Xu informed Xuan Zonglu's instructions to the porter Lao Xuan and Xuan Dazhi, since the master agreed, then it would not be a problem to go out to play, and Dazhi took Xuan Yuemeng out.

Dazhi carried Xuan Yuemeng on his back, but he didn't ask Xuan Yuemeng where he was going, he felt that a child who was a few months old would just go home in a circle, and he didn't plan to go far, so he walked to the mouth of the alley with Xuan Yuemeng on his back and turned back.

"Hey, don't you want to ask me where I'm going?" Xuan Yuemeng suddenly spoke.

Of course, Dazhi was also taken aback, obviously unprepared for such a big child as Xuan Yuemeng suddenly opened his mouth to say such a complete long sentence, and turned his head in surprise to look at Xuan Yuemeng who was lying on his shoulder, "Young Master, are you talking?" ”

Xuan Yue smiled cutely, rested his chin on Dazhi's shoulder, tilted his eyes to look at Dazhi, and said in his childish voice: "You said Lak? ”

Dazhi then came to his senses, "Young Master, when did you suddenly speak so well?" I remember you didn't speak for the first two days? ”

Xuan Yuemeng didn't pay attention to Xuan Dazhi's question: "Let's go to the concession and have a look." ”

Although Xuan Yuemeng has never been a young master, there is no need to intern to be a young master, he gave Xuan Dazhi a very clear location, and gave Dazhi a feeling of 'no matter how young a young master is, he is also the master'.

Xuan Dazhi sighed, and kept looking at Xuan Yuemeng curiously, I really couldn't figure out how an eight-month-old child could speak so early, and he could speak so well from the beginning? A three-year-old can't say it that clearly, can he? The most important thing is that the little master even knows about the concession? Could it be that Zhuge Liang was reincarnated and able to strategize?

What Xuan Yuemeng wants to get most now is information about the French and foreign countries related to the Tianjin teaching plan, Xuan Yuemeng's thinking is unusually clear, during this time he has been planning how to make the life of the big house better, only if the big house is better, he will get better, Xuan Yuemeng has no plans to think about being a young master anymore, because even if Xuan Zonglu can get through this level, Xuan Zonglu doesn't seem to have put his grandson at ease, and when he grows up, Xuan Zonglu should die, At that time, even if the second and third uncle's careers have developed, they will have nothing to do with Dafang or him.

Obviously, as a child, his fate must be combined with Dafang, who is his backer.

If you want to make the big house better, you can only make Xuan Hongtao better first, even if Xuan Yuemeng can't look down on Xuan Hongtao for 10,000 times, he sighed in his heart 10,000 times that he is unlucky, and he has such an honest and gambling father, but he can only take the only way to support Xuan Hongtao now, otherwise he will have to completely entrust his fate to God, if that is the case, he also has to bet on whether he can grow up safely, besides, he is not a passive and inactive, casual personality!

Among the information that Xuan Yuemeng got in the Xuan family's mansion, the biggest opportunity at the moment seems to be the Tianjin teaching plan, the Tianjin teaching case was talked about by Zeng Guofan in the first half, Zeng Guofan came up and lost 460,000 taels of silver to other countries except France, Zeng Guofan on both sides of the disagreeable Zeng Guofan rolled out of Zhili in the scolding of the people, the second half was followed by Zeng Guofan's apprentice, the new governor of Zhili, Li Hongzhang, from Xuan Zonglu's daily reaction, the negotiation seems to be particularly difficult.

Xuan Yuemeng realized that this would be a big opportunity, if Xuan Hongtao could make a meritorious contribution to the negotiation between the imperial court and the French, and even get the appreciation of the new governor of Zhili, Li Hongzhang, his idea of improving the situation of the big house should be realized.

At this time, Tianjin was very small, just like the small county town of later generations, the concession was divided into three pieces, the British, French and American concessions were all connected together, Xuan Dazhi took Xuan Yuemeng to visit for more than two hours, Xuan Yuemeng almost every church, every store to see, the most favorite and most attentive is to listen to the conversation of foreigners.

There are very few people in the concession, it is rare to see a Chinese, and foreigners are interested in Xuan Dazhi and Xuan Yuemeng, and when they see them passing by, they will look at them twice.

Xuan Yuemeng walked, and asked Xuan Dazhi to pay attention to collecting foreigners' newspapers, at this time, the foreigner newspapers were mainly for themselves to read, all of them were foreign, because the British accounted for the majority, so the newspapers were probably British newspapers, not only newspapers, anyway, as long as there was a text on the paper, Yuemeng had to let Xuan Dazhi help him pick it up, and finally Xuan Dazhi had no choice, picked up an old sack, and actually collected a small half bag of various waste paper.

"Young master, why do you just pick up the paper with words? Its practical paper head is good, and it doesn't need so much, right? Xuan Dazhi said to Yue Meng.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled, and didn't explain, but he thought of it because Dazhi came up with it, and picked up these things to study the latest European facts, and used them to ignite the fire? Attract your sister.

Knowing that the other side can survive a hundred battles, Xuan Yuemeng hopes to collect more information about the French, which is the only thing he can do at the moment that will help negotiate with the French.

Xuan Yuemeng's original English level was level 4 in college, and he has been in a foreign-funded enterprise since he worked, and his English has not been put down, of course, he has the common problem of Chinese students, written is much better than listening, and there are still obstacles to direct communication with people, so he has to go to contact with foreigners, and the place with the most foreigners is of course the concession.

Xuan Yuemeng let Xuan Dazhi carry himself around the main streets of the concession, Xuan Yuemeng found that there is no big difference between the English of this era and the English he learned in modern times, ten words can understand about five, especially in the American Concession can understand a little more, can basically understand the meaning of others, which makes Xuan Yuemeng's confidence greatly increased, if it is not a little more than the people of this era, he will be very insecure, he does not think that he has anything outstanding, outstanding, I didn't fantasize that I could have a great sense of anger when my body was shaken, so I let a bunch of people follow behind his ass and bow down to obey.

Xuan Yuemeng actually did not do less in this eight-month early childhood, when the original two rooms and three rooms did not leave, the children in the big room and the children in these two rooms went to private school together, and it has always been taught by Xue Qingchang, the Shaoxing master of Xuan Zonglu, to everyone, he listened to it next to him, of course, no one will pay attention to him A little child, Xuan Yuemeng did not think about taking the examination in this era or anything, if you can take a show in this era, it is definitely higher than the level of modern Chinese language doctoral supervisors.

Xuan Yuemeng is to recognize a word, he also stole a novel of Xuan Yuewen for word recognition, this is a thick Qing Dynasty line-bound novel, Xuan Yuemeng will peek at it every day in the room, traditional Chinese characters and simplified Chinese characters of later generations are in the same vein, read a few more times, in fact, there are very few words that Xuan Yuemeng does not know, of course, Xuan Yuemeng reads novels in the room, and it will not attract the attention of Xuan Xu's, Xuan Xu's will only regard Xuan Yuemeng's behavior as a similar behavior of children playing with toys.

"Young master, did you understand what the foreign devil said just now?" Xuan Dazhi asked Xuan Yuemeng curiously, because he saw that Xuan Yuemeng especially liked to listen to foreigners.

"Let's go home, by the way, let's go see the big house first." Xuan Yuemeng still looks like a cool little cool brother, with a big head, dark eyes, and an expressionless face.

Xuan Dazhi looked at the sky: "Young master, it's almost dinner, if you can't catch up, I'm afraid that the old man will lose his temper, right?" Anyway, now the master allows the young master to go out to play, and after eating at night, I'll take the young master to the big room to have a look, right? It's all in an alley, so close. ”

Xuan Dazhi had completely regarded Xuan Yuemeng as a little adult, and bent down to explain seriously to the young master Yuemeng who was holding his knees.

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "It's okay." Have you been to the big house recently? Do you know how life is going over there? ”

Originally, Xuan Yuemeng wanted to pretend to be immature here at Xuan Dazhi, but later he found out that he was really not acting material, so he simply stopped pretending.

Xuan Dazhi's adaptability is also very strong, after half a day's effort, he almost doesn't remember that he is with an eight-month-old child now, and seems to think that it is normal to talk to a child like this, "Young master, the people in the big house haven't been here for a while, and the master hasn't asked me to ask, I don't know." ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, motioned for Xuan Dazhi to carry him away, and told Dazhi not to go back to the concession today, just say that the two of them walked around the Xuan family's mansion.

In this way, Dazhi, who was already tired and dizzy, carried a broken burlap bag and carried Young Master Yuemeng back to the alley.

Xuan Zonglu went back to the room to rest after dinner early, Xuan Zonglu's current appetite is getting smaller and smaller, half a bowl of rice, drink a little soup, that's all.

Xuan Yuemeng ate a coarse steamed bun, half more than Xuan Xu's, since the second room and three rooms left, the food standard of the Xuan family's mansion has been lowered, from the original two tables, each table of eight dishes and one soup to one table, one dish and one soup.

It is difficult for Xuan Yuemeng to understand how there is such a stingy person as Xuan Zonglu in the world, and he is eccentric to the point of paranoia, because in the past, if there was a meal with the second Xuan Hongbo, two dishes would be added to make up ten dishes, according to the second Xuan Hongbo, you have to eat perfectly.

Xuan Yuemeng said secretly: Now there is one dish per meal, it should be regarded as single-minded.

"Where did you play today?" Seeing that Xuan Yuemeng refused to eat again, Xuan Xu knew that Xuan Yuemeng was full, and asked Xuan Yuemeng while wiping her mouth.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "It's at the door." ”

He didn't mean to lie to Xuan Xu, he just knew that Xuan Xu and Xuan Dazhi couldn't talk if they were fine, and he didn't want Xuan Xu to worry, after all, if a child did too much, it would be too exaggerated.

Xuan Yuemeng wanted to get out of Xuan Xu's arms, Xuan Xu's put Xuan Yuemeng on the ground, Xuan Yuemeng staggered out of the hall with her little short legs, Xuan Xu's saw that Xuan Yuemeng was walking quite steadily, so he made time to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and now the trivial chores of the entire Xuan family's mansion have fallen on Xuan Xu's body.

Xuan Yuemeng held on to the wall all the way to the gatehouse, which was the home of Lao Xuan's father and son.

Lao Xuan looked at Xuan Yuemeng, who was leaning against the wall, and hugged Xuan Yuemeng to his lap, "Young master, these are all you asked Dazhi to pick up?" You can't use so much paper to start a fire? ”

Xuan Yuemeng didn't bother to explain to Lao Xuan, slipped off Lao Xuan's leg, took the newspaper in Lao Xuan's hand, and secretly said that fortunately it came in time, it is estimated that tomorrow, these things will be filled by Lao Xuan's father and son.

Xuan Yuemeng squatted on the ground and looked through the sacks containing waste paper, his English level was not to the point where he could read newspapers and letters casually, but he mainly looked for the word French two, and it was much faster to simply find a word, and after a while, he turned over a lot of paper, picked out five pieces of paper containing the word French, and slowly looked at it.

'The Franco-Prussian War is raging. ’

Xuan Yuemeng seems to have won the jackpot, and he saw such shocking news when he read the first newspaper, his historical knowledge is limited, and he doesn't know what the international situation is like now. Still have time to fight the Qing Dynasty?

In Xuan Yuemeng's heart, Germany in World War I and World War II is the protagonist, Germany is still quite tall, and Xuan Yuemeng, who was originally in Hyundai, is a German fan, and knows a little more about Germany than other countries, and the car that Xuan Yuemeng bought in Hyundai is also made in Germany.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't look at the content at the bottom, he carefully folded the British newspaper neatly and put it aside, and on the five papers with the word France he found, two were newspapers and three were casual notes, all of which had words about the Franco-Prussian War, and they all showed that the French war situation was tight, and the Prussian army was victorious.

As if drinking honey, Xuan Yuemeng stacked all five pieces of paper together and put them in the small pocket in her arms. He is not clear about the situation in foreign countries, and he is still very clear about what is happening around him, the main source of pressure from the French to the Qing government is the warships outside the mouth of Tianjin, claiming to raze Tianjin to the ground. Guessing that the French are bluffing, the warships should have gotten out long ago. This is news that is very conducive to negotiations, don't Li Hongzhang and they even know this? This must be a pie from the sky, right?

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know, in fact, when Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan's office were handed over to the governor of Zhili, the Franco-Prussian War had already broken out, the Qing Dynasty's domestic politics were corrupt, they closed their eyes and listened, and they were completely unclear about foreign affairs, even if the foreigners knew that it was impossible for France to do anything to the Qing government at this time, no one would stand up and report to the Qing government. They all came with the mentality of making a big profit, who cares whether China lives or dies.

The Chinese regard foreigners as ghosts, and foreigners regard Chinese as pigs. This is Xuan Yuemeng's contact with foreigners during this period of time, and a simple understanding of the relationship between China and the West in this era.

Lao Xuan looked at Xuan Yuemeng busy for a while, and asked curiously: "Young master, do you understand the foreign characters on these things?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Old Xuan, don't worry about it, Dazhi, let's go out and play for a while." ”

Dazhi asked what Daddy meant.

Lao Xuan thought about it, looked at the direction of the hall again, and guessed that the old man was already asleep, so it was inconvenient to ask for instructions again, "Young master, are you going out to play so late?" Will you go out tomorrow? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, in fact, it was just dark at this time, five or six o'clock, if you put it in modern times, the nightlife has just begun, is this called so late? However, at this time, most of the families have already slept, especially the poor families, who are reluctant to even eat with oil, and how can they be willing to light the lamp, "Just go out for a while, and come back soon, it's okay, the lord agreed to let me go out." ”

Lao Xuan was surprised that Xuan Yuemeng could say such a long and complete sentence, and at the same time, he was persuaded by Xuan Yuemeng, and said to Dazhi: "Go, just go around the alley, and come back soon." ”

Dazhi agreed, and went out with the happy young master Xuan Yuemeng on his back.

The destination of the two people was Dafang's house in the alley, the small courtyard where the big house was located was closed, Dazhi shouted several times, and Xuan Yuewen came out to open the door.

Xuan Yuewen looked at Dazhi and Xuan Yuemeng on Dazhi's back curiously, and touched Xuan Yuemeng's face, "It's so late, why are you here?" Yuemeng has grown so big? ”

The child grows up very fast, although he has only been seen for three months, Xuan Yuewen can clearly feel the speed of Xuan Yuemeng's growth.

Dazhi didn't speak, now Dazhi has regarded Xuan Yuemeng as an authentic little master, since Xuan Yuemeng can express his meaning, he doesn't need to say more, Xuan Yuemeng smiled slightly: "Second brother, is Mom here?" Is Xuan Hongtao there? ”

Xuan Yuemeng didn't want to call someone like Xuan Hongtao his father, so he simply called him by his name, originally he and Xuan Hongtao had no feelings.

Xuan Yuewen was startled, looking at Xuan Yuemeng, who was chubby and wearing a small melon hat, can a child of a few months talk like this? "When did Yue Meng learn to speak? Can he speak so clearly? ”

Dazhi smiled: "Yes, Young Master Yuemeng can speak clearly." ”

Xuan Yuewen nodded in a daze, hugged Xuan Yuemeng and said, "Mother is here, Xuan ...... Daddy had already fallen asleep and drank too much. ”

Xuan Yuemeng sighed, and was about to speak, such an urgent matter, he must not wait for tomorrow, he is going to call Xuan Hongtao to get up now, and go to Li Hongzhang with him, this is a great opportunity, in case Li Hongzhang and the French sign the contract, a good opportunity will be missed!

Xuan Huang came out, looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise, and quickly took Xuan Yuemeng from Xuan Yuewen's hand, and kissed Xuan Yuemeng on both sides of Xuan Yuemeng's chubby little face, "Dazhi, why did you hug Yuemeng so late?" The old man agrees with you coming out? What's the matter? ”

After Xuan Huang finished speaking, he kissed Xuan Yuemeng's brain again, but the kiss was not enough.

During this time, the Xuan Huang clan wanted to go to see Xuan Yuemeng, but Xuan Zonglu had an order not to let anyone enter the Xuan family's mansion, and the Xuan Huang clan had no way to see Xuan Yuemeng.

Xuan Yuemeng smiled: "Mother, I have something urgent to find Xuan Hongtao." ”

Xuan Huang screamed softly, looking at Xuan Yuemeng, "Little thing, you can call your mother, can you speak?" How old are you? Good boys. ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, it was really hard to be a child, everyone was like this when they heard him speak, he had tried his best to make his words concise and to the point, looking like a child, it was still not good.

"What's the urgency, what about Xuan Hongtao? Let him hurry up. Xuan Yuemeng didn't have time to gossip.

Xuan Huang snorted and gently patted Xuan Yuemeng's little buttocks, "That's your father, what Xuan Hongtao?" Is there any child who doesn't call Daddy? ”

Xuan Yuemeng felt that Xuan Huang's hand was touching his exposed ******, and it was itchy and tight: "Let him get up, it's really urgent." ”

Xuan Huang: "What's the urgency of your little kid?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng knew that it would be a rambling talk if she said it again, and it would be endless, and she might not be able to say it clearly, so she had an idea: "The old man is looking for Xuan Hongtao and asked him to go immediately." ”

Xuan Huang looked at Xuan Dazhi suspiciously, "It's so late, why did the master suddenly find our big room?" What's up? ”

Xuan Yuemeng knew that the life of the Dafang family was very sad now, but she didn't know how sad it was. Although there is no need to pay the silver in the public during this time, but Xuan Hongtao's monthly salary has long been broken, since the Tianjin teaching case occurred, the Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau issued a monthly salary and stopped, because the general office of the steward will be gone. This time the monthly salary is also a silver sticker, once the **** breaks out, the silver paste will depreciate greatly, Xuan Hongtao's monthly salary is more than six taels, to use the silver paste to exchange silver, can only be exchanged, less than three taels, just rely on these three taels, the family has been next to each other for three months, and the original month of the big house is four taels, now you can only drink one porridge a day, can you not have much opinion on Xuan Zonglu?

Where does Xuan Yuemeng know this? thought that Xuan Zonglu shouted Xuan Hongtao to go, and he should be able to talk less.

Xuan Dazhi was asked by Xuan Huang's family, when he came, the old man didn't say this to him, and his father Lao Xuan didn't say this to him, how did Xuan Dazhi know that this was a temporary statement made up by Young Master Yuemeng?

Xuan Yuemeng was very irritable, such a simple thing, but also to talk about it for a long time? How hard is it for Xuan Hongtao to wake up? "It's the master looking for him, let him go quickly, otherwise what are we doing so late? Right? Great wisdom. ”

Xuan Yuemeng said, Chong Dazhi quickly grimaced, although Dazhi didn't understand what the young master meant, but he was not stupid, so he had to nod stunned, Xuan Dazhi was willing to cooperate with the young master to lie, mainly because Xuan Dazhi was not afraid of the big house uncle, and the people all had rods and scales in their hearts, because the big house uncle was usually more wretched, at most he shouted two voices, in fact, it was not terrible, but Xuan Dazhi was now more afraid of the young master Yuemeng, the young master was a big ghost, and he could speak well, it seemed that he was born with a power to teach people to want to listen to him, and, Even if this is a lie, it doesn't hinder anything, Xuan Dazhi guessed that Young Master Yuemeng wanted to tease Xuan Hongtao? Alas, little children just love to mess around, and the young master is no exception.

Xuan Huang still believes in Dazhi very much, Lao Xuan's two sons are quite honest, and there is no need to talk nonsense, so he had to say to Xuan Yuewen: "Then go and call your father to get up, and say that the master is looking for him and hurry over." ”

Xuan Yuewen was so frightened that he took a step back, "I'm not going, I'll get angry at me again when I get drunk." ”

Xuan Huang sighed, looked at a room, and didn't seem to dare to call Xuan Hongtao.

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, Xuan Hongtao was soft outside, but he was quite domineering when he went home, and everyone was afraid of him? Breaking free from Xuan Huang's arms to get down, Xuan Huang had to put Xuan Yuemeng down, Xuan Yuemeng walked to the room where Xuan Huang's eyes were looking at with her little short legs, entered the house, touched the edge of the bed, and shouted in Xuan Hongtao's ear: "Xuan Hongtao!" Your dad called you home. ”

Xuan Hongtao drank a lot of wine, was in a daze, was startled, and sat up all of a sudden. "Well, hmm, who'......"

Xuan Yuemeng proudly looked at Xuan Hongtao, who was in his thirties like a forty-year-old, with unkempt hair and godless eyes, and was picked up by his own move, but Xuan Yuemeng also didn't know what to say because he had such a father, such a big person, should also have a snack, right? Still so carefree?

Xuan Hongtao rubbed his drunken eyes, looked around, and then saw Xuan Yuemeng, who only had a head exposed on the edge of the bed, and suddenly became angry: "Little ghost! What are you doing here? ”

Xuan Yuemeng calmly tightened her face, "Your father called you home." ”

Although he was 10,000 dissatisfied with Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Hongtao's fear of Xuan Zonglu in his bones could not be changed, so he hurriedly got out of bed and went to find shoes to wear, "The old man asked you to call me?" What do you little kid know? ”

Xuan Yuemeng kicked Xuan Hongtao's shoes to his feet, "If you have something urgent, hurry up and take me away, he said to let you go immediately, it's been delayed for a long time." ”

Xuan Hongtao was urged by Xuan Yuemeng like this, and suddenly became more anxious, maybe the person who knows Xuan Hongtao best in the world is Xuan Yuemeng, who rarely has contact with him, Xuan Yuemeng understands people like Xuan Hongtao, because he himself was similar to Xuan Hongtao in his previous life, he was confused, timid, greedy, and lazy, but he should be a little smarter than this Xuan Hongtao.

Xuan Hongtao put on his clothes, put on his shoes, picked up Xuan Yuemeng and went out, these were very unexpected to Xuan Huang and Xuan Yuewen, I didn't expect Xuan Hongtao to be so quick.

Dazhi followed and went out and helped Xuan Hongtao, because Xuan Hongtao walked with the steps of the drunken eight immortals.

The family can't even eat, and he still has wine to drink! Xuan Yuemeng glanced at Xuan Hongtao very dissatisfied.

Walking to the door of the Xuan family's mansion, Xuan Yuemeng: "It's not here, go to the Yamen of the Minister of Trade and Commerce to find Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang should be there now." ”

Xuan Hongtao was startled, and now he found out that Xuan Yuemeng, who was a few months old, actually spoke so clearly, he only drank one porridge a day, and drank a lot of inferior liquor every day, so he had no strength anymore, so he put Xuan Yuemeng down, "What did you say?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated, and she was obviously very articulate? Why does everyone have to ask him what he said after he has finished speaking? Do I still want to subtitle you?

"I asked you to go to the Yamen of the Minister of Commerce and Commerce to find Li Hongzhang, the governor of Zhili, Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang, Zhongtang Li Hongzhang, and Lord Li."

Xuan Hongtao heard it clearly this time, these words came out of a child's mouth too weird, and the great wisdom around Xuan Hongtao was also startled, looking for Li Hongzhang? Governor of Zhili? Is it a product that can be found casually? Xuan Hongtao is just a white body, a person with no official position, and he is not on an errand in the Yamen, the Minister of International Trade and Commerce.

Xuan Hongtao was surprised, but he couldn't think about how a child as old as Xuan Yuemeng could talk so well, and asked, "Didn't you say that the master was looking for me?" You're a kid who cheats? Are you deliberately playing tricks on your dad? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweats profusely, my idle egg hurts almost the same, what's the point of me playing you? "I ask you, do you want to support a family like a man, do you think that when you are forty or fifty years old, you will still be like this? I'm helping you now, you know? I have a great benefit for you, do you want it? ”

Xuan Hongtao was stunned by Xuan Yuemeng, and he didn't believe that a child of a few months could bring him any benefits, but it was really frustrating to be said by such a big child, especially when he had the best face, so he wanted to beat Xuan Yuemeng to get angry, "It's not a small courage, what child talks to his father like this?" Even if you pass on to the fourth room, I am still your own father, do you understand? You're going to call me Dad! ”

Xuan Yuemeng was defeated, dad and your sister! took out the five pieces of paper from the small pocket in his arms and handed them to Xuan Hongtao, "This is the news I found in the concession, the negotiations between the French and the imperial court are now at an impasse, and the imperial court should not know that there is a war in France, otherwise it should have been negotiated a long time ago, the French must be going to blackmail our imperial court, you should go to Li Hongzhang with these evidence now, this is a great merit!" ”

Although Xuan Yuemeng's speech is clear, the timbre is still a child's timbre, no matter how good he says, there will always be a child's unique childishness in his words, which is both weird and funny.

At this moment, not only Xuan Hongtao, but even Xuan Dazhi looked at Xuan Yuemeng as if he was looking at a ghost, a child who was a few months old said such a big thing, anyone would think that he had seen a ghost! The two of them stared down at the same time.

Xuan Yuemeng's eyes were clear, and he also stared at Xuan Hongtao, calm and ruthless.

Xuan Yuemeng doesn't care anymore, it's urgent, one of these two people is his own father, and the other is a loyal servant of the family, there is no need to delay his efforts at this time, so he said everything he wanted to say at once.

Xuan Hongtao is not stupid, and quickly understood that Xuan Yuemeng said that the great credit is indeed true, if the things written on these papers are the news that there is a war in France and the war is tight, it is indeed of great help to negotiate with the French, although Xuan Hongtao is drunk at home every day because he has no money to go out to gamble and has no place to work on errands, but what happened outside, he can probably still know from his wife and sons, Dafang's family is actually very afraid that if Xuan Zonglu is convicted, They don't have the money to flee to other places, and they are likely to be implicated. It was very painful for the family to go hungry and live in fear.

Xuan Hongtao took the five pieces of paper that Xuan Yuemeng was holding and looked at it, and saw that what was written on it was all in foreign language, so he added some trust to Xuan Yuemeng's words, and he also gave birth to hope, is my son really a prodigy? Such a big little kid can get through the words of foreign devils? Can you read the words written by foreign devils? If you can really make a great contribution, not only will the old man be fine, but his family will be safe, and maybe he will be a blessing in disguise.

Xuan Hongtao flipped through it, all of them were in foreign languages, he couldn't even read a fart, and looked at Xuan Yuemeng suspiciously: "This is the news of the war in France that you said?" Can you still read foreign languages? ”

Xuan Yuemeng looked at Xuan Hongtao's eyes, "Yes, do you dare to go to Li Hongzhang now?" Take me and I promise you a great achievement! ”
