Xuan Hongtao knew that Xuan Yuemeng and Li Hongzhang had a major conflict, and he was worried that Li Hongzhang would take the opportunity to kill himself, or use himself to coerce Yuemeng, he was not stupid, "Lord Zhongtang, I have been weak recently, I'm afraid I'm sick, besides, my ability, Lord Chen is very clear, I don't know Japanese, nor am I familiar with diplomacy, how can I be responsible for such a big thing as signing a contract with Japan?" ”

Li Hongzhang snorted, revealing his fierce expression, "That's how you, the five-grade chief of Jinhaiguan Dao, did this?" Just take the court's fortune, haven't you thought about solving problems for the court? Don't forget, if it's not the day! After the headquarters signed a contract with the Japanese, you were recommended to the imperial court, why should you be the head of this five-grade product with such a talented background? This Tianjin Customs Road is a good yamen that everyone envy the government and the wilderness, and you can go directly to the center! Retreat, you can go out to the place, at least to promote a four-grade, advance and retreat are all beautiful! Can't you take any responsibility? What is the use of the court raising a mediocre person like you? ”

Xuan Hongtao was so frightened that he sweated down at that time, and he only felt that his whole body was sweating, and he was very uncomfortable against his body, and it was only in March, how did he feel like it was a steamer weather in July and August. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xuan Hongtao's voice stumbled, "Don't dare, don't dare, Lord Zhongtang's words are too heavy, Xuan Hongtao really can't bear it!" It's really because I'm a shallow learner, so it's really not good, so Lord Zhongtang still wants to find another candidate, right? I really can't do something so big on my own. ”

Sheng Xuanhuai frowned, and said sharply: "Xuan Hongtao, why don't you hurry up and take the order of Lord Zhongtang?" You are a small five-rank official, Lord Zhongtang has spoken personally, do you dare to disobey? Don't you plan to be this official? Are you really a relative of the emperor? What the hell! Don't be embarrassed! ”

Chen Qin has already seen that Lord Li Zhongtang wants Xuan Hongtao to be a shield, Chen Qin knows that Xuan Hongtao has a good son, and using Xuan Hongtao as a shield is the right person, whether it is Xuan Hongtao to solve this matter, that is the best, everyone has merit, naturally it is still the great merit of Lord Zhongtang, if Xuan Hongtao can't solve it, it is better, take Xuan Hongtao out of the horse, you can knock his son hard, everyone knows that Tianjin Meng Young Master is already the richest man in the Qing Dynasty!

Chen Qin snorted, and then Sheng Xuanhuai's words: "Xuan Hongtao, what are you doing?" Do you dare to shirk Lord Zhongtang's orders? Tell you, even if you abandon your official position and leave, you have to do this well! The official hat of the Great Qing Kingdom, it's not that you can throw it away, dereliction of duty, you know what the sin is, right? ”

was intimidated by Li Hongzhang, Sheng Xuanhuai and Chen Qin, Xuan Hongtao's courage was not very big, and he was almost scared to death now, so he had to kneel down and say: "Xuan Hongtao obeyed the orders of Lord Zhongtang." ”

Li Hongzhang snorted coldly, "You have to weigh the severity of this matter yourself!" The headquarters will play this time to the imperial court today, and the excerpt will point out that you are asking to take on this important responsibility, if something goes wrong with the matter of re-discussing the subscription with the Japanese, your son who is the richest man in the quasi-forehead, and your father, who is still at home with the big dream of being a governor, will not be able to protect you! ”

Xuan Hongtao's tears fell at that time, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted on the spot, and with the status of Lord Li Zhongtang, he said such a thing to a five-grade official, that is, to openly take his fault! This is a public war post to the Xuan family!

Thinking that Yue Meng had offended the powerful Li Zhongtang Li today, Xuan Hongtao only felt that there was darkness in front of him!

Xuan Hongtao didn't remember how he got home, he only felt that the soles of his feet seemed to be filled with lead, and he was put on a sedan chair by two accompanying house slaves.

The porter was shocked when he saw that the uncle had been crying silently, and he didn't know what was wrong, so seven or eight people hurriedly carried the uncle into the house.

Xuan Yuewu's daughter-in-law gave birth to a grandson, and a bunch of women were playing with the child, laughing and laughing.

Although Xuan Zonglu doesn't like children, since he met a genius like Xuan Yuemeng, he didn't dare to look down on children anymore, and he actually teased his little grandson with Xuan Zhou's family.

"I wonder if this kid can be like Yue Meng?" Xuan Zonglu looked at his little grandson, who had just been born not long ago, and muttered to himself.

Xuan Zhou glanced at his little grandson, the child's tiger head is also fun, but with his eyes closed, he is a little stupid, where is it like when Xuan Yue was born, he would already squint and slant people everywhere?

Xuan Zhou couldn't help but roll his eyes at Xuan Zonglu, "You should be full of children like Yuemeng?" Yue Meng is like this, in the entire history, there has not been one in 10,000 years, otherwise the queen mother and the emperor of the two palaces will choose our family Yue Meng as a forehead? ”

Xuan Huang also smiled: "Yes, you can't expect every child to be like Yue Meng, Yue Meng is just two years old, it's good to be an uncle now." ”

Xuan Yuewu's daughter-in-law nodded and said: "I don't expect this child to be like Yuemeng, with one-tenth of Yuemeng, I will be very happy, Yuemeng is one year old in Xiucai, if this child can be in Xiucai at the age of ten, it will be good." ”

"Absolutely! The descendants of my Xuan family are all smart! Ten years old, it's definitely no problem! Xuan Zonglu laughed.

Xuan Yuelei next to him was uncomfortable, and Xuan Yuelei was still studying hard at home, "The descendants of your Xuan family are all smart?" Then I, Yuewen, Yuewu, and Yuehua and Yuelu in the third room are not small, why is there no one in Xiucai? ”

Xuan Zonglu was bumped by Xuan Yue's thunder, and suddenly became angry, "How can this be reasonable, dare to talk to your grandfather like this?" ”

Xuan Yuelei's daughter-in-law knew that Xuan Yuelei was speechless, and hurriedly said: "Old lady, Yuelei can't speak, don't blame you." ”

Xuan Yuelei's daughter-in-law is Xiaocui, the maid who originally went to the house, and has been with the old lady of the Xuan family since she was a child, Xuan Zhou's side, and Xuan Zhou's also helped to persuade, "Yes, don't be angry with your grandson, Yuelei is just talking casually." ”

Xuan Zonglu snorted, still angry, the old man's temper was too big.

That is, Young Master Meng can eat and live in Xuan Zonglu.

At this moment, Xuan Hongtao was helped into the inner courtyard by a bunch of subordinates.

Xuan Huang was taken aback, "What's the matter?" What's wrong with your uncle? ”

"I don't know, that's it when the uncle comes out of the yamen!" The attendant replied.

Xuan Zonglu was also nervous, with the old man's rich experience in officialdom, he knew that something big must have happened, and hurriedly asked, "Hong Tao, what's wrong?" What happened? ”

Xuan Hongtao was fine outside, but when he came home to see his father, it was like seeing his backer, and he suddenly cried like a child, but he couldn't cry anymore, and he couldn't help himself. (To be continued.) )
