After getting Tesla, Hu Xiaoyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, the method of dealing with Tesla, Hu Xiaoyan has used it to deal with those Chinese medicine practitioners before.

You must know that the profession of Chinese medicine is very xenophobic, and it is also very stubborn and conservative. It's harder to get them to come up with their own research results. Among the TCM practitioners who joined the Anhui Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, less than 10% of them took out their own notes and prescriptions, and these people naturally received Hu Xiaoyan's trust and high rewards. Thousands of dollars buy horse bones! Not to mention, this trick just works.

The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine has not been broken, and many children of traditional Chinese medicine families are not interested in the profession of traditional Chinese medicine, because no matter how powerful the medical skills are, they cannot become officials. In China, what Guangzong Yaozu said was to study and become an official. But not everyone can become an official through study, and there are too many Chinese medicine families that have gone bankrupt because of this. In order to study, many of these people took the medical books and prescriptions they had hidden at home to the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and sold them.

During Hu Xiaoyan's occupation of Beijing, he forced countless famous Chinese medicine practitioners to join the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. These famous doctors were not very happy at first. But when they saw a lot of secret recipes in the library that were thought to be lost, they went completely crazy.

Even conservative and backward Chinese medicine practitioners can't resist the charm of knowledge and money, let alone Tesla, a Tesla who has never seen a lot of money in his life?

After settling Tesla, Hu Xiaoyan began to prepare for Miss Roosevelt's banquet. The first is the dress, which is also very easy to solve. German fashion designers in the Anqing Light Industrial Zone have long designed hundreds of styles for Chinese. These garments are currently selling well all over the country. Angel bought at least 20 sets for Hu Xiaoyan during her time in Xiamen and Shanghai, but she only bought less than 10 sets for herself.

Hu Xiaoyan's dress is a standard Tang dress, with wide sleeves and an empty swing, and when the wind blows, it has the bearing of a Taoist immortal. But he was a little displeased, he had lived in England for many years, and was already familiar with the Western way of dressing, but unfortunately he was not in England now, and he would represent the governor of China at the banquet.

Angel was wearing a pure white Tang Dynasty lady's outfit. Even his hair was coiled up. At a glance, you can tell that it is Qin Yun's handwriting. Angel, a stupid big man, didn't understand the meaning of coiled hair at all. In the Tang Dynasty, unmarried women were not allowed to coil their hair, and their hair hung naturally (boys could not coil their hair before they were minors, so there was a saying of "drooping boys").

Men must coil their hair and wear hats when they reach adulthood. Hats are also exquisite, for example, scholars have special headscarves. This turban means that you have a meritorious name and can be worshiped by officials. But if you don't have fame, you can't wear a special scholar's headscarf (known as Zhuge scarf).

When a woman coils her hair, she is married, and at this time she can do various hairstyles. Generally speaking, a hairpin is inserted when the hair is coiled. Therefore, the hairpin was also used as a token of love in ancient times. If you don't know a married woman well, but you give someone a hairpin, it will be considered indecent. And if you are not familiar with an unmarried woman, but you give a hairpin, the other party will think that you are interesting to her.

In ancient times, etiquette was very particular, and gifts were not given casually, but were very particular. It's not like going anywhere now, buying a bottle of wine, a cigarette, buying some supplements and the like, and it doesn't matter if you can afford it at home, whether you drink alcohol or not, whether you smoke or not. It doesn't matter if it's sent to elders or peers, it's done. Therefore, it is not for nothing that later generations say that modern people are immoral.

After Hu Xiaoyan saw Angel wearing that white lady's dress, he felt a little uncomfortable. Because he and Angel have been married for two years, but they have never really had an anniversary, and they have never been together for more than three months. And Angel, a foreign woman who doesn't know Chinese, follows Qin Yun and others Chinese every day to learn Chinese food, and often eats Chinese food she doesn't like. Not only that, but I also have to face the non-verbal words of my two brothers and sisters-in-law every year! Reason? Not giving birth to an offspring is original sin!

He smiled and reached out to take off his hat and put it on his chest, reaching out his right hand to gently hold Angel's small hand. After going out, Hu Xiaoyan put on his hat and pulled the car door.

Angel smiled sweetly, and the two snuggled up in the car. The car and the chauffeur were arranged by old Hans to come with Miss Roosevelt's boat. The driver was a Chinese, originally a railroad worker, who learned to drive a car after joining Apple's Rolls-Royce car factory. Considering the situation of the Qing Dynasty, the old Hans arranged for the Chinese to drive a car for Hu Xiaoyan.

When he came to the American Legation, Hu Xiaoyan realized that he had overestimated his influence in the foreign circle.

The reception had already begun, and no one had introduced guests to him.

Hu Xiaoyan just smiled faintly and sat in the corner with Angel. The two chatted sweetly. Such a peaceful life is rare, even when they were in the hospital, Yan Zhuzhu and Qin Yun, the two big bulbs, always showed their existence, so that Hu Xiaoyan and his wife did not have any time to warm up during the day.

The banquet was attended by seven or eight Manchu princes and eight or nine Manchu ministers, as well as ministers from various legations. These people gathered in a heap and whispered. Sometimes they go together to communicate, but Hu Xiaoyan is very quiet here.

"These idiots!" A voice sounded behind Hu Xiaoyan, and Angel jumped. She immediately left Hu Xiaoyan's arms and sat up straight. made Hu Xiaoyan want to laugh but couldn't laugh.

"Ma'am, don't you think it's rude to disturb us?" Hu Xiaoyan put down the wine glass, he was just feeding Angel to drink!

"I'm sorry, but I did it on purpose." The person who came was a big beauty with European and American style, she sat opposite Hu Xiaoyan carelessly, took out a cigarette case by the way, and lit a cigarette. A puff of smoke erupted from his red lips.

"Smoking is bad. It will make a woman age faster and will also affect the health of her teeth. Angel said seriously.

Fluttering, Hu Xiaoyan didn't hold back, and the wine in his mouth squirted out. A few drops were sprayed on the body of the beauty opposite. But the beauty on the other side calmly took out a silk scarf and wiped it vigorously. Then he exhaled another puff of smoke.

"If we had to look ahead and backward every time we do something, we wouldn't have been able to get to where we are today! Isn't it? Governor Hu. "The big beauty doesn't care at all.

"In your China, there is a saying that there is wine and wealth, and you see that smoking is not one of them."

Angel was speechless. Although she is a Chinese daughter-in-law, she does not know much about Chinese culture.

"You're right. Miss Roosevelt. "Hu Xiaoyan is not good to evaluate. In fact, his knowledge of Chinese culture is only the Twenty-Four Histories and the Legend of the Spring and Autumn Ram. Moreover, smoking was a personal hobby, and his relationship with Miss Roosevelt was far from acquainted.

"Leave those idiots alone. I have met your Emperor and Prime Minister. Your Majesty the Emperor actually knows all the information about the situation in various countries from Governor Hu's "The Rise of Great Powers", and he has not even read a single book in Europe. And your prime minister is old. Although I didn't know much about medicine, I knew he didn't have long to live. Miss Roosevelt extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray. With one hand on the back of the sofa and one eye looking straight over, the whole person seemed to become very imposing in an instant.

"The future political situation in China will inevitably be dominated by Governors Hu, Zhang, and Yuan. And Governor Zhang, I heard that he is also in his sixties. As for Governor Yuan, he was suppressed by the Germans in Shandong for a year, and he didn't make any achievements. ”

Hu Xiaoyan was speechless. China's understanding of Europe and the United States is only superficial, but this American girl who has never been to China has a clear understanding of China's evidence!

That's the problem of perception!

"The future prime minister of China must be you, Governor Hu Shanshi!." Miss Roosevelt said very angrily.

She even understands the etiquette of Chinese people to call each other? Hu Xiaoyan couldn't help but sit up straight. This is a terrible opponent! You must know that ministers like Dou Nale who have been in China for many years do not understand the difference between Chinese names and characters!

"Miss Roosevelt, what do you want to say?"

"Your Emperor will consult you, the Viceroy of English origin, if he wants to make a foreign policy, and I hope you will persuade that Majesty to come to a most-favored-nation agreement with our country!" Miss Roosevelt said lightly.

MFN status? Hu Xiaoyan sneered. In fact, China and the United States are already the most favored nation, but the United States has the most favored nation treatment in China, that is, American goods entering China have a series of duty-free policies and local support policies. But Chinese goods are subject to all kinds of boycotts in the United States!

Miss Roosevelt certainly wouldn't mean that way. She wants Chinese goods to have the same MFN status in the United States!

"But does it make sense?" Hu Xiaoyan won't eat sugar-coated cannonballs.

"We, the United States, recognize Qing as a member of the civilized world! He recognized the Qing state's dominance over East Asia and was willing to sign a mutually friendly treaty with the Qing state. Any hostilities against the Qing will be absolutely resisted by the United States! Miss Roosevelt said lightly.

No way! Hu Xiaoyan thought to himself. Such conditions do not actually make the slightest sense. But for the Qing court, it was the best! is like all kinds of foreign flattery in later generations. The same was true of the high-ranking Qing court in this era. European and American countries have always excluded the Qing Kingdom from civilized countries, believing that the Qing Kingdom is just an indigenous monkey. Once the United States really recognizes the Qing as a member of the civilized world, then at least cultural exchanges between the Qing and the United States will be possible, and at least the fate of the Chinese in the United States will be completely different from the original history. The status of the Chinese will be on the same line as the Americans, ahead of the blacks! And of course, those Chinese Exclusion Bills of the past can't exist anymore!

"You can't be the master!" Hu Xiaoyan admits that he is indeed a little moved. Why did he go to the 100,000-mile railway project? Isn't it that export sales are not smooth, and we have to build railways to engage in domestic demand? If the MFN treatment is signed, the goods of the Qing Kingdom will be unimpeded in the United States! The economic market of tea, silk and porcelain of the Qing Kingdom is alive! Such a large market in the United States can completely absorb all the products of a country like Qing Guo, which is not very developed in agriculture. After the economy of the Qing Kingdom improves, will Hu Xiaoyan still need to make great efforts in education? There are also railways and the like, I am afraid that Hu Xiaoyan does not need to go out in person, and the local governors will also take the initiative to help.

If you want to get rich, build roads first! Although the local governor of this era did not understand this truth, he must have seen the changes brought about by the construction of the railway!

It is logical that there will be science and technology, people's education, etc., and the speed of China's rise will be greatly improved!

"The President of the United States has authorized me to take full responsibility for the foreign affairs of China and the United States! I have this right! Miss Roosevelt slapped her face on the table.

Looking at Miss Roosevelt's shot, Hu Xiaoyan also had to admire the courage of this young lady! No wonder the Americans are rising!

He admired Miss Roosevelt a little, why didn't such a bold figure leave a footprint in American history? Hu Xiaoyan searched in his mind but found no news about this lady. After thinking about it, he understood that this lady was a woman after all. The United States has not had a single female president since its founding! This is standard discrimination!
