Chapter 73: Taking advantage of women
Xu Qing took these women to go shopping, this is not just to relax, but also to deepen the relationship with these women. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info so Xu Qing quickly called Mathilde, Eugenie, and even Hu Ling, Zhao Qiu, and Ning Qing, the three Chinese girls. As for Queen Isabella, she is still raising a baby in Buckingham Palace, ready to give birth to Xu Qing!
"Several, let's go!" Xu Qing said.
Xu Qing walked down the street with three beautiful oriental girls and two western royal sisters. This has attracted the attention of many British men. The only man among the five beauties with different characteristics from the East and the West has to be noticed wherever he goes. In particular, there are a lot of oriental "exoticisms", so that any man can't pay attention to it. After all, in the UK, the Chinese in the East are the "foreigners", how can the return rate of foreigners not be high, especially in the case of beautiful women, the return rate is even more high.
"See what?" Some Englishwomen immediately pulled their husbands and said angrily.
Xu Qing enjoyed such envious and jealous eyes, which was of course very refreshing, which greatly satisfied his man's vanity. On the street of his home, Xu Qing took the initiative to care about three Chinese female students.
"Hu Ling, how is your studies?" Xu Qing asked.
Hu Ling immediately reported: "Lord Xu, I have been studying well recently, and the gentlemen of Kangqiao University have praised me. “
Xu Qing nodded and praised: "Very good, study hard next, so that you can really become a useful talent in the future." In fact, it doesn't hurt to read more books for both men and women. You don't have to think about what kind of woman is virtuous if she is not talented, Zhang Dai's words back then did not mean this. As for what else to say, your business is to study well, understand? ”
Hu Ling nodded immediately, but Hu Ling still said, "Lord Xu, can we only talk about reading between us?" Can't say something else? “
Hu Ling blushed a little when she said this, obviously she meant something to Xu Qing. But Hu Ling knew his identity, he was just "sold" to the UK by his family, and his identity was even very embarrassing. If you want to say that it is Xu Qing's slave, it doesn't seem to be so. But if a girl takes the initiative to express her affection, and still expresses her affection to a man with a much higher status than herself, no matter how you look at it, she is clinging to the powerful!
Because Hu Ling knew that he really had a good impression of Xu Qing, not just to cling to the powerful. But it is precisely because of her true feelings that she is even more worried that Xu Qing will misunderstand, and she will take the initiative to "dedicate" herself to Xu Qing because she misunderstands that she is clinging to Xu Qing. Therefore, it is precisely because the relationship is more sincere, the more it feels that the identities of both parties are embarrassing, and it is not good to directly express their good feelings.
Plus it's a girl, so it's hard for her to say it clearly, so she has to use hints. As for saying that Xu Qing has other women around her, it is nothing to her, after all, there were many women in ancient Chinese men, which is normal. is even like Xu Qing's identity as a "four-grade official", if there is only one woman, it is not normal!
What's more, Hu Ling knew that with his embarrassing identity, he was destined to be impossible to be a wife, but he was embarrassed to speak.
Xu Qing heard Hu Ling's words and knew that he had to give her some hope.
"Hu Ling, I also know your thoughts. But remember, I don't want a servant to take care of me. If I want a servant who simply takes care of me, I can buy one from China at any time for a few dozen taels of silver. Well, although this is a bit ugly, but I want to express that what I want is not a servant, but a real assistant, a work assistant, understand? However, you are still a long way from this ability. So you have to study hard so that you can really be my assistant, understand? Xu Qing said.
Hu Ling said with some embarrassment: "Lord Xu, you know? ”
"Of course, if I didn't even know this, I wouldn't have to be a diplomat!" Xu Qing replied.
When Hu Ling heard this, he immediately blushed. In fact, Xu Qing knew what she was thinking, which made her embarrassed as a girl.
However, Hu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, such a "secret love" was a little too hard, and Xu Qing made it clear that it might not be a good thing. At least Xu Qing gave her hope and gave her a goal, which is not bad. With a goal, there is a direction to strive for, which is the driving force for progress.
"Lord Xu, I will definitely study hard, and I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Hu Ling hurriedly said.
Seeing Hu Ling grasp the powder fist and say so solemnly, Xu Qing was of course very satisfied. He knows that sometimes, when there is a goal to pursue, this is the motivation to move forward. Once there is no goal, it will inevitably face the consequences of losing forward momentum and finally "dying in peace". Xu Qingming knew that Hu Ling was having some meaning to himself, but as Xu Qing said, what he wanted was not a maid, and the value of a maid was too low. What he wants is an assistant he can trust, an important assistant who is truly loyal to him. So Xu Qing did not hesitate to use this Hu Ling's feelings for him to let her study hard, so that he could gain a truly talented assistant, instead of a maid who simply took care of his life.
"Alright, to celebrate your academic progress, I'm giving you some gifts!" Xu Qing said.
Xu Qing directly bought some roses, and then gave them to Mathilde, Eugenie and Hu Ling, but in the end, Xu Qing sent the remaining roses to Zhao Qiu and Ning Qing, which made the two girls very embarrassed.
Zhao Qiu and Ning Qing looked at the roses handed over by Xu Qing, they were very hesitant and embarrassed. Because they have been in England for a year, they naturally know what roses mean in the West. But Xu Qing gave himself this rose, and they were very worried and didn't know whether to accept it.
Because I accepted this rose, the meaning was different. Especially Zhao Qiu, Ning Qing and Xu Qing have always been in the relationship between bosses and subordinates, and male bosses send roses to female subordinates, so no matter where they are, it is very embarrassing. Once the rose was accepted, their relationship was not so simple.
When Hu Ling saw this scene, he also hurriedly said, "Sister Zhao Qiu, Sister Ning Qing, you can accept it." ”
Hu Ling said so actively, making his mind a mess, and Zhao Qiu and Ning Qing, who had no opinion, subconsciously accepted this rose. But after accepting this rose, Zhao Qiu and Ning Qing's faces turned red, because they knew the meaning of this rose in the West. But they actually accepted it on impulse, so that their relationship with Xu Qing may not be so simple.
Mathilde and Eugenie next to him also shook their heads secretly, of course they knew what kind of goods Xu Qing was. One of them is a princess of the Bonaparte family, and the other is a Spanish countess, of course they know what Xu Qing is. Isn't Xu Qing such a good person, doing things for himself and achieving his own goals by pursuing those women with strong backgrounds and even talents and appearances?
"You're cheating on girls again? They're just a few fifteen-year-old girls, and you've done it all? Mathilde said depressedly.
Xu Qing smiled and replied in a low voice: "Why can't I do it, anyway, as long as I have talent and appearance, why don't I accept it as much as possible." As long as I can have some talented and beautiful girls to be my women, I won't suffer any loss whether I work or live! ”
Eugenie snorted lightly and said, "You are so shameless! ”
Xu Qing was also a little helpless in his heart: "Do I have a way?" Who let me travel alone to this era, can I communicate with these ancient people casually? Even if they do things for me, how can they guarantee their loyalty to me? These ancient people, these ancient men, are all very ambitious, no matter how confident I am, I dare not guarantee that there will be some people with ulterior motives among them! I'm alone, how can I guarantee their loyalty? ”
"I can't guarantee it, so that's all I can do. With women, through my women, so that loyalty to me can be guaranteed to the greatest extent possible! ”
Xu Qing came to this world alone, he has no ability to brainwash, and he does not have the ability to guarantee the loyalty of all his subordinates. He doesn't have the occult technology that would make you absolutely loyal to you. Xu Qing didn't dare to guarantee that his subordinates would not defect easily, so he could only pass these crooked ways.
In such a situation, using women may not be a good choice. Because what Xu Qing wants to do is to seize power and rebel, how many people dare to follow him in this kind of thing? What's more, even if you follow him, can you guarantee a heart? You must know that many rebels will easily be attacked by their subordinates in the end.
In troubled times, as long as there is a man with a certain strength, who does not have the ambition to dominate the party. With strength, there will inevitably be ambition, which is an idea that a man in a troubled world will have. In such a situation, how can Xu Qing guarantee their loyalty?
So Xu Qing quickly understood that in fact, knowing how to use women is not necessarily a good thing. Because in this era, the whole world is still patriarchal, and a woman will not be allowed to be the emperor, especially the founding emperor. As for Wu Zetian, which situation cannot be replicated, there can be no second one.
And the mentality of women is relatively soft, and their ambitions are not so big. Even if a woman is capable, in the end, she still has to focus on her husband.
However, Xu Qing knows that in fact, many times, women's abilities are not necessarily weaker than men, or even much stronger. Therefore, Xu Qing can only take such a crooked and evil way, and only by letting those talented and beautiful women be his own women, can he maintain his loyalty. What's more, with ancient ideology and morality, if you fail, your woman's fate will not be very good, and there is no chance of "surrender". If it were another man, perhaps the enemy would have made a condition that they would choose to sell themselves to get rich. But if it is their own woman, then they have no possibility of betraying themselves, because even if they sell themselves, they will not get benefits, and it is impossible for the Manchu court to add an official to a woman, let alone a woman who betrays her husband.
So Xu Qing weighed the pros and cons, in fact, the most appropriate way was to use women. They are not very ambitious, but they are no less capable than men. In addition, there is a natural dependence on men psychologically, and because of ancient reasons, it is destined to be impossible to become an official and a knight, so as to ensure loyalty and complete dependence on oneself.
"In such a situation, it is the most appropriate and the most risk-averse method. Rebellion is ability, but it is also gambling! Isn't gambling about minimizing risks and maximizing the use of resources? Not only can I use these talented and beautiful women to fight for me, but I can also let them give me children, and even solve my physical needs. This maximizes the use of resources and minimizes risks. ”
"This is of course the best, why don't I use it? What's more, in the late Qing Dynasty, all kinds of conditions were also met, if I didn't take advantage of it, then I'm not a fool? ”
If other people knew Xu Qing's thoughts, they would definitely think that Xu Qing's festival had been shattered. There are all such ways to play, and Xu Qing will definitely be scolded to death. Use women to help you fight the world, do you know how to write the word "festival"?
"Eugenie, Mathilde, even if you know what I am, you can't leave me!" Xu Qing said.
Eugenie and Mathilde also rolled their eyes, even if they knew that Xu Qing was using them, but what could they do? Eugenie knew that she was definitely reluctant to leave Xu Qing, because Eugenie knew that she did like Xu Qing a little, even if Xu Qing's feelings for her were not pure, but she had no choice. As long as Xu Qing is not too much, she will choose to be invisible.
As for Mathilde, it was naturally given to Xu Qing as Bonaparte, and the Bonaparte family would not allow her to leave Xu Qing. So even if Xu Qing uses it, what can it be? In the end, it can only be used obediently, and there is no way.
Seeing that Eugenie didn't say anything, Xu Qing snickered again in his heart and thought: "Women, sometimes they know that they are being used, but they are willingly used. After all, no matter how good a woman is, it is far more emotional than rational. Even if I know who I am, I am using her, but in the face of 'hope', I still prefer to be used. If every woman is more rational than emotional, then China may not be just one Wu Zetian, but countless Wu Zetian. In this day and age, isn't the least risky way to use women? After all, I can't afford to gamble, I don't want to use my life and China's national fortunes to gamble on the loyalty of those heroes in troubled times, and using women may be the least risky! “
