After greeting Li Hongzao, Xuan Zonglu asked in surprise, "Is Lord Wuren's illness so serious?" ”

Li Hongzao sighed and nodded, "I'm afraid it won't work, maybe it's just a matter of the past few days, the doctor said, it's just a matter of delaying for a while." I'm going to visit every day these days. ”

When Xuanzong saw Li Hongzao like this, he could only sigh with him.

Xuan Yuemeng secretly said that she was unlucky, and it was more advantageous to talk to someone to talk about things, of course, when people were in a good mood. Looking at Li Hongzao's expression that his father was about to die, it was really, the timing was not coincidental.

Xuan Zonglu: "My lord, I'll go with you tomorrow to visit Lord Wuren, right?" ”

Li Hongzao nodded, "Okay, Zong Lu, why did you come to Beijing this time?" I think if you don't dislike it, live with me. This is your little grandson? ”

Xuan Zonglu was also polite, and thanked him and agreed. "Thank you, Lord Li, I came this time to accompany my little grandson out to do something, mainly to visit Lord Li."

Li Hongzao's mansion is not small, but the furnishings are simple, Xuan Yuemeng sees that there are few descendants of the Li family, and they are also simple, knowing that this Li Hongzao should not be a fake Taoist, he is a true gentleman, but the gentleman of this era is almost equal to the synonym of pedantic, in Xuan Yuemeng, the gentleman is not a good name.

Li Hongzao looked at Xuan Yuemeng curiously, grabbed Xuan Yuemeng's little chubby paws, and finally squeezed out a little smile, "Zong Lu, aren't you joking with me?" How old is your little grandson? Weaned? Will he be able to do things? What is he going to do? ”

Xuan Zonglu smiled, although he had long been accustomed to his demonic little grandson, but such a young child was too demonic, he often thought about it himself, and he felt funny, and he didn't know how to explain it. simply let Xuan Yuemeng say it herself.

Xuan Yuemeng was not polite, and said that he wanted to produce and sell smoking cessation pills, and needed the tacit approval of the imperial court, if he wanted to get the acquiescence of the imperial court, he needed to have the Minister of Military Aircraft play At this time, Xuan Yuemeng even said the attitude of Li Hongzhang and Zeng Jize. said that as long as the imperial court acquiesced, the ministers of Beiyang and Nanyang would jointly comply, and seconded the proposal at the first time. Now send a outspoken Minister of Military Aircraft to persuade the Queen Mother, as well as the attitude of Ruilin, the governor of Liangguang.

In fact, when Xuan Yuemeng just spoke, Li Hongzao was already stunned, and when Xuan Yuemeng finished speaking, Li Hongzao was still in a dream.

Xuan Zonglu had already guessed that Li Hongzao would have such an expression after listening to Xuan Yuemeng's words, but when he really saw it, he still felt very funny. Gently pushed Li Hongzao's arm, and said with a smile: "Master Li? ”

It took Li Hongzao a long time to react, put his fist on his mouth, and coughed, "Oh, Zong Lu, this is your grandson?" Is he really not even a year old? ”

Xuan Zonglu nodded and smiled slightly: "My grandson." I will be one year old after the New Year. ”

Li Hongzao took Xuan Yuemeng from Xuan Zonglu's hand. kissed Xuan Yue's cute chubby little face, "A while ago, I heard that there was a prodigy in Tianjin. Isn't it just talking about your little grandson? ”

Xuan Zonglu smiled: "It's Yue Meng, Yue Meng, did you call Grandpa Li?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng's two bright and clever big eyes purred and turned: "Grandpa Li." ”

Li Hongzao shook Xuan Yuemeng's chubby paws, "Okay, this is really good, the child is a good seedling." Put it in my house and read it with me! Zong Lu, what do you think? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, this was the second time he had heard someone tell him to read! Zeng Jize asked himself to study, saying that if he failed the exam at the age of ten, Xiucai would divorce him, and you Li Hongzao let yourself study with you? Read a hair! Lao Tzu has been reading for almost 20 years in modern times. Didn't read enough? Xuan Yuemeng now hears the word reading, and her head is two big.

Xuan Zonglu said with a smile: "That's not good, Master Li doesn't know, the child has been recruited by Brother Ji Ze as the future son-in-law of the Zeng family, and he is now studying in the Zeng Mansion." You are the emperor, but the emperor is the one who taught you, and you are willing to teach us Yuemeng in person, this is a great blessing, you can't ask for it, but it's not that I don't appreciate it, I don't know what to do. ”

Li Hongzao sighed, seemingly very disappointed, "Alas, how come all the good things are from his family?" Ji Ze, I also have some vision. ”

Li Hongzao carefully asked Xuan Yuemeng about the meaning of what he said just now, and after looking at the sample of the smoking cessation pill brought by Xuan Yuemeng, he figured it out, obviously people who are not very clear in their thinking, Xuan Yuemeng said secretly, are the members of the DPRK and the Central Committee such an old man?

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know that a high-ranking minister like Li Hongzao couldn't do specific things, if you talked to him about the past and the present, and quoted scriptures, you would find that people could be worth ten doctoral supervisors! Xuan Yuemeng heard it, it seems that this Li Hongzao and Li Hongzhang, Zeng Jize and Zeng Guofan are very bad all the way, and the relationship should be bad, and it casts a shadow on what he wants to do.

Li Hongzao twisted his beard and muttered: "This is really a good thing, the smoke is so harmful to our people, it bears the brunt!" I have no problem playing it, but the Queen Mother will never agree, and the Queen Mother will inevitably ask King Gong what he means, King Gong has always advocated reconciliation with foreigners, what is this called...... Quit smoking pills, there is really not much difference from smoking bans, foreigners will never agree, King Gong will not agree, I think, don't talk about it. ”

Xuan Yuemeng saw the old man coming over and said such a big article, it seemed that he had said everything, and he didn't seem to say anything, and he was a little impatient: "I have always admired Lord Li, and I often heard my grandfather say that Lord Li is upright and respectful, but he is also afraid of foreigners?" ”

Li Hongzao smiled: "The little doll is indeed a prodigy, and she still knows how to stir up the law?" Of course, the old man is not afraid of foreigners, what the old man said is not feasible or not, but whether it can be done, this matter, directly let the Minister of Military Aircraft play, it is better to directly let the powerful governor and minister under him play, let the court hold a discussion, I support it again, this is better. Moreover, among the ministers, the most important thing is the attitude of the governor of Liangguang, the big smoke comes in from Liangguang, what happened to Lin Zexu's ban on smoking at the beginning, your grandfather has experienced it. ”

Xuan Yuemeng Khan, isn't this equivalent to saying nothing, didn't Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang mean the same thing? Anyway, none of you dare to be this bird, just wait for others to play first! The old man is really an old slippery head. Talking in circles is not doing practical things. Thinking that the top ministers in the court are all such people, Xuan Yuemeng feels that this society is beyond cure.

Xuan Yuemeng knew how to observe words and feelings, and knew that it was useless to provoke the old man, so she smiled slightly: "Since Grandpa Li said so, this matter still has to be found from the head of Ruilin, the governor of Liangguang." It's just that Ruilin is the governor of Liangguang. You can't go to Liangguang to find him, right? ”

Li Hongzao said with a smile: "All the feudal officials have eyeliner in Beijing, and Ruilin's son is the head of the Criminal Department, Waitabu, you can try to talk to Waitabu." ”

Xuan Yuemeng sighed, and stopped talking, okay, you old man, Lao Tzu wants to say that it is inconvenient to find Ruilin, let you pick your head, you still have ideas for me How to find Ruilin? Looks like. The appearance of decay is all fake.

Li Hongzao saw that Xuan Yuemeng actually stopped persuading, and secretly said that this child is really a prodigy, not only witty and clever, but also very deep in the city, nodded with a smile, and talked about some past things with Xuan Zonglu, and recounted the feelings of the old days. talked about the emperor's recent wedding, and talked about some recent things that happened in the court. Talking about some personnel changes.

Li Hongzao sighed that after the death of the Japanese people, there will be major changes in personnel.

Anyway, Li Hongzao and Xuan Zonglu no longer revolve around the topic of Xuan Yuemeng's desire to produce and sell smoking cessation pills.

Xuan Yuemeng listened to the two old men chatting next to her, sitting bored and anxious. But I can't think of any other way, where can Lao Tzu go to make friends with Waitabu, the head of the Criminal Department? If Xuan Zonglu had a friendship with this Waitabu, he would definitely say it just now.

Sure enough, at night, Xuan Zonglu's maid Xiaozhen served Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Yuemeng to sleep. The grandfather and grandson touched their heads and slept together, this was the first time Xuan Yuemeng slept like this with the old man, quite unaccustomed, the old man seemed to be very happy, and used his arm to let Xuan Yuemeng pillow his head, hugged Xuan Yuemeng, and gently patted Xuan Yuemeng's back, to coax Xuan Yuemeng to sleep.

Xuan Yuemeng sweats profusely, do you really treat me as a little north nose? Xuan Yuemeng still wanted to talk to the old man, so she asked the head of the Criminal Department, Waitabu, and his father, Ruilin, about the governor of Liangguang.

Xuan Zonglu told Xuan Yuemeng that he had no friendship with Ruilin, as well as Ruilin's son, and Waitab, the head of the Criminal Department.

Xuan Yuemeng was a little frustrated, so she asked the old man about the officialdom in the capital, and wanted to hear more from the old man to see if he could find any inspiration for himself.

The old man told Xuan Yuemeng some things about the officialdom in the capital, factions, official positions, titles, Xuan Yuemeng wrote them down one by one, and Xuan Yuemeng also asked some about the emperor's wedding, etiquette or something, to see if there was any business to do, he just casually asked, to do royal business, this face is big.

However, what the two of them said before going to bed has little to do with Xuan Yuemeng's promotion of smoking cessation pills.

He never thought of getting the imperial court to acquiesce in the sale of smoking cessation pills, and this matter seemed to have reached a dead end again.

Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Zonglu stayed in the Li Mansion that night, and the entourage could only squeeze into the guest rooms of the Li Mansion.

Xuan Yuemeng couldn't sleep for a long time, feeling that his little head was not enough, a feeling of emptiness and hesitation, repeatedly invaded him, he just came to this era, he took such a big step, it was indeed too stupid, Xuan Yuemeng secretly scolded himself.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Zonglu had just gotten up when they learned of Wu Ren's death.

Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, it was too unfortunate to come by himself, right? Why don't you wait until I'm done and then die? Seeing that Li Hongzao was about to faint crying, I really don't know if the two of them are friends with broken sleeves? As for being so sad?

Xuan Zonglu: "Lord Li, let's mourn, let's go to the mansion of Lord Wu to mourn?" ”

Li Hongzao wiped his tears and stood up, "Zong Lu, I'm sad, the teacher just went!" ”

After Li Hongzao finished speaking, he couldn't help crying again.

Xuan Zonglu nodded, "Take care of yourself." ”

Xuan Zonglu accompanied Li Hongzao to Wuren's house, and Xuan Yuemeng naturally followed.

Thousands of officials in Beijing rushed to mourn, the factions of the officials, it was layer by layer, and when the world's number one official died, people from all walks of life naturally had to come to make a scene.

Xuan Yuemeng because it is a child, it is inconvenient to enter, Xuan Zonglu let Xuan Yuemeng wait in the carriage, Xuan Yuemeng's carriage is luxurious, and immediately compared a group of sedan chairs, the porter does not know what the origin of the Xuan family is, seeing that it is with Li Hongzao, the Xuan family carriage stopped at the gate of the Wuren Mansion, the best location, Xuan Yuemeng in the carriage through the curtains, baking the fire, watching the officials coming and going.

Xuan Yuemeng was still thinking about his own sales of smoking cessation pills, each family was a sedan chair, he wanted to find a sedan chair in Waitabu, but he didn't know which one it was, so he let Dali stare outside, and asked people by the way.

Xuan Dali inquired after a while, and pointed out Waitabu's sedan chair to Xuan Yuemeng, Xuan Yuemeng secretly paid attention, thinking about how to talk to Waitabu, all his eyes were focused on Waitabu's sedan chair, which was a key point in the success or failure of his trip. Xuan Yuemeng also specially explained that once Waitabu comes out, be sure to ask Waitabu to talk about it in his carriage, just use the face of Li Hongzao's family, Xuan Yuemeng wants to get in touch with this Waitabu as soon as possible!

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng came out this time, and he had more than 200 taels of silver tickets on him, and Klinsmann & Co. really couldn't come up with the money! It's all about to become a candle in the wind.

Xuan Yuemeng wanted to contact Waitabu outside, and save time to visit again, otherwise with the practice of this era, he would have to spend money to prepare a gift.

In fact, Li Hongzao came late, the officials in Beijing, those with enough qualifications, almost all came, Waitabu was already inside, they had already finished mourning, and they were going out, and there was another person who accompanied Waitabu, but the official was much older than Waitabu, but his attitude was very restrained, as if Waitabu's officials were older than him.

However, Xuan Yuemeng immediately changed her mind again, and called her vigorously: "Directly invite Waitabu to Lord Li Hongzao's house, just say that Lord Li Hongzao personally invited him!" ”

Xuan Dali sweated, "Young Master, we are also guests in other people's mansions, Lord Li Hongzao is really invited?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng understood what Dali meant, Dali knew that Li Hongzao definitely didn't have an invitation, and he was lying, so he said with a smile: "Go and do what I say, Lord Li Hongzao won't be angry with me for this matter." ”

Xuan Dali had to agree hard.

"Prince Gong has arrived!"

"Prince Alcohol has arrived!" (To be continued.) )
