"Lord Xu, is this the Liuli Factory?" Zhao Qiu asked. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Zhao Qiu, don't call me 'adult', you should call me husband." ”

Zhao Qiuxiao's face flushed, this Xu Qing made it clear that it was deliberate, it was deliberate, and it was obviously not hidden at all for her thoughts. However, Zhao Qiu was also very worried about whether to agree to Xu Qing.

"Sir!" Zhao Qiu still couldn't call out.

Zhao Qiu didn't adapt so quickly, this Xu Qing was not in a hurry, these girls Xu Qing would definitely be in the bag, and Xu Qing would not allow the girls who had so many resources around him to leave him like this, which was a big loss for Xu Qing. After cultivating for so long, it would be a great loss if you just gave it to someone else.

Of course, this sentence "husband" is not so easy to say, Xu Qing did not force it immediately.

"Zhao Qiu, this is the glaze factory, this glaze factory is a famous cultural street in Beijing. Our triennial imperial examination in China is to be assessed here, and most of those who are ready to enter the imperial examination live here. This is a common practice because of its proximity to the concentration of Han officials. And these literati also coincidentally learn from literature and art, and everyone has a heart that does not admit defeat, so they invariably live together and meet the heroes of the world here. Therefore, this glaze factory has become a common place for everyone. Here, it can be said that the essence of China's outstanding literati is brought together. ”

Zhao Qiu quickly heard accents from various places here, because this imperial examination had just been held. Xu Qing did not catch up with the imperial examination, but he caught up with the later stage of the imperial examination, and now he should be reading the papers, and after the ranking is decided, Xu Qing, the Honglu Siqing, can carry out the roll call, which is considered to have completed the procedures.

However, at present, these students are still very nervous, obviously not knowing whether they can be lifted, if they are lifted, it will be a real glory of the ancestors, and they have entered the official career.

"We're here to hear about the situation in different places and see the customs and customs of each place. It's a great opportunity to really get to know the place and get to know the situation in different places. Xu Qing said.

Xu Qing walked into an inn, where there are literati everywhere discussing, this is going to be released, it is a trial, and no one knows their fate!

"Brother Jiang, you're going to pass the exam this time, right? Brother Jiang, you had a good story in our Jiangnan back then, saying that if you don't take the Jinshi exam, you will never have sex with your wife, this time it seems that you must be lifted! If you don't get in the middle of the game, will your sister-in-law have to be widowed in this life? ”

The Jiang brother shook his head and said: "I was ashamed back then, when I was a newlywed Yan'er, I talked about poetry with my wife every day, although I didn't have the joy of fish and water, but I was also happy." Later, it was my wife who woke me up, and the boy still had to focus on his studies, which made me very ashamed. I made a vow that I would never share a room with my wife unless I was admitted to the Jinshi. Therefore, the lady is still a girl. “

Another literati next to him said: "Brother Jiang, I heard that Mrs. Tong's family invaded in England and lived in all directions, and was later adopted by your uncle as an adopted daughter to teach literature and art, but she is like a talented girl!" When the British barbarians invaded, it was really a shame, and it was really a shame for the Celestial Empire. ”

Everyone talked about the first British Opium War that year, which attracted Xu Qing's attention. But let Xu Qing not go east, without saying a word, these people actually talked about themselves.

"Did you hear that? I just inquired yesterday that Honglu Siqing has been replaced, and it has been replaced by a person named Xu Qing. ”

Brother Jiang asked, "What?" What about substitutions? Honglu Temple can't control us, Honglu Temple is responsible for roll call, and has no power to decide the ranking! ”

Another person replied, "No, no, I have heard about the new Honglu Temple Secretary Xu Qing. This Xu Qing was not born on the right path of the imperial examination, but from the donation class. This Xu Qing is from a donation class, he was appointed to England by the Governor of Liangguang three years ago to serve the Queen of England, and now he is back. The imperial court actually reused it and gave Honglu Siqing an official position. ”

Immediately someone was furious: "Bastard, how can the imperial court be like this?" How can such traitors, such traitors, be reused? He actually went to serve the Queen of England, such a barbarian, rude, righteous and shameless, and actually let a woman be the king, isn't this Ji Sichen? Si Chen, it is the way to die in the country! “

"What's more, this Xu Qing actually went to England to serve the king of barbarians, and such a traitor can still be reused by the imperial court? How unreasonable! What's more, it is not from the right path of the imperial examination, a donor from the class, and they have all become members of the four grades of the imperial court, which is really unreasonable. Traitor, traitor, absolutely traitor! ”

Immediately, many people began to scold, and they were dissatisfied with Xu Qing becoming a member of the fourth grade.

"Bastard, how can these people say that about you, Lord Xu? Lord Xu is in Europe, but he has contributed a lot to our country, why did he become a traitor here? Zhao Qiu couldn't help it, and wanted to stand up and scold.

But Xu Qing pulled Zhao Qiu and said, "It doesn't matter, don't be nervous, this is normal." I've been prepared for a long time, don't be nervous! ”

Xu Qing had already been prepared, and Guo Songtao, the first minister of the Qing government to the United Kingdom, stepped down from the United Kingdom, which was also criticized by many people. Even many people think that Guo Songtao is a traitor and a traitor. In the early Qing Dynasty, this foreign envoy was misunderstood by many people, mistakenly thinking that he was going to serve foreign kings and to be a hostage. Guo Songtao, as the first minister, has been criticized a lot, and since Xu Qing has replaced Guo Songtao's historical position, he will naturally be scolded.

Xu Qing was not worried about being scolded, anyway, he was destined to end up with the Manchu Qing Dynasty not all the way. He is also destined to follow these people who scold him, not all the way, so he doesn't need to care. It's like an elephant doesn't care about the insults of ants, he cares about these people, it's just self-deprecation.

But in the midst of everyone's scolding, someone actually said a fair word for Xu Qing.

"Everyone, in fact, I don't think this Xu Qing is incompetent. This time I also heard that this Xu Qing went to England, he helped me to return to Hong Kong in the Qing Dynasty, and the English took the initiative to return to Hong Kong, and repaid us the indemnity in the past, and gave our young students to study in England. So he is also meritorious to the imperial court, and as for the donation class, this is not absolutely unacceptable. After all, as long as you contribute to the imperial court, the promotion reward is fine. The man surnamed Jiang said.

However, the words of this person surnamed Jiang immediately aroused public anger.

"Jiang Nanfu, what do you mean by that? How could you say such a thing? If this Xu Qing really has the ability, does he still have to rely on donation? What's more, a merchant's son goes out to serve a foreign country like this, which is simply a loss of face for our heavenly kingdom. Such a traitor deserves to be executed. What's more, he took back Hong Kong, didn't this also rely on the power of my Qing Dynasty, which allowed him to steal this credit? As for the return of the compensation, this is ours. Then let our students learn the things of Fanbang, so isn't this a scourge? We don't read the books of the sages, but we actually go to read the garbage of Fanbang. Isn't this a misguided person's children, isn't this a barbarian in China? ”

"That's right, if you go to study in a foreign country and become a barbarian in China, are they still our Chinese people? If they return, won't that mean that we will perish sooner or later? ”

Those students are alarmist, as if this is the case when they go to study abroad. This made Xu Qing also shake his head helplessly, the people of this era, their horizons are too small, and they have been closed off from the country for many years, which has made these Chinese people pathologically arrogant, and they have not been able to open their eyes to see the world. Even if the Westerners have opened the country again and again, they still think that they are the upper kingdoms of the Celestial Empire and Western countries are barbarians.

Xu Qing, a minister who went abroad to serve, was regarded as a traitor, and Xu Qing's credit was erased by these guys, obviously not recognized. Although the people in the Manchu officialdom knew Xu Qing's merits, these folk students were completely opposed for the sake of opposition.

"My lord, ...... they," Zhao Qiu asked.

Xu Qing shook his head and just stood up.

The young student named Jiang Nanfu was still being abused by those students, obviously feeling very dissatisfied with Jiang Nanfu, the person who spoke for Xu Qing. Although Jiang Nanfu wanted to say two fair words, one mouth could not withstand dozens of mouths, and he quickly fell into disadvantage.

"You ......" Jiang Nanfu still wanted to argue for Xu Qing, but he was tapped on the shoulder.

"Brother Jiang Nanfu, don't pay attention to them!" Xu Qing said.

Jiang Nanfu looked back and found that it was a man close to thirty years old, and immediately asked, "May I ask this brother, who are you?" Do we know each other? ”

Xu Qing laughed and said, "You talked about me for so long just now, and you didn't even know that I was sitting next to you." My surname is Xu, my name is Qing, and I am the new Honglu Siqing? ”

"What?" Many students were surprised.

They had been talking about it for so long just now, and they all insulted this Xu Qing as a traitor and traitor, but they didn't expect Xu Qing to be next to him. It's embarrassing like this, I've been talking about it for so long, but the main lord is by my side, isn't this scolding to my face? Scolding behind your back and scolding in your face are two different things!

"Slowly, slowly, sir-sama?" Jiang Nanfu immediately became nervous.

Xu Qing asked interestingly: "Were you scolding me just now, saying that I was a traitor and that I was a traitor?" ”

Those students looked embarrassed, but of course they couldn't admit that they were wrong at this time. Everyone is dead to save face, if you see Xu Qing, a four-grade master, and admit your mistakes, it will be a shame to go to your grandmother's house.

"Xu Qing, I said it, you are a traitor, you are a traitor, what's wrong? You are a donor and serve the barbarian king of Fanbang, do you still have the face to say here? Today, we are going to denounce traitors, what's wrong? ”

"That's right! What's wrong with denouncing traitors? ”

Xu Qing said solemnly: "Do you know what kind of crime it is to falsely accuse the court officials in front of the public? You come up with evidence, otherwise I can send you to the Criminal Department on the spot and give you a false accusation against the imperial court!" ”

Those students suddenly looked embarrassed and falsely accused the imperial court officials, which was a big crime. In ancient times, it was even bigger, if Xu Qing really wanted to go online, then they would still really be punished.

Even if it is lighter, it is normal to remove the fame. Especially at this juncture when preparing to mark the papers and release the list, no one wants to have extraneous branches. If it is excessive, you were originally selected, but because your remarks are inappropriate, the court exempts you from your ranking, which is very embarrassing. At this time, the list has not yet been released, everything is unknown, and no one dares to make extraneous branches.

"Hmph, coward! If eight years ago, you had the same arrogance as you had just now, why were you afraid of the English invasion? Useless is a scholar! Xu Qing said disdainfully.

Those people glared angrily one by one, but they didn't dare to say anything, obviously not wanting to cause any extraneous branches.

"Brother Jiang Nanfu, when so many people scolded me just now, you said a fair word for me, thank you very much." Xu Qing took the initiative to clasp his fists and salute.

Jiang Nanfu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Don't dare, Lord Xu is also an envoy to the country, and he has also made a contribution." Whether you want to go back to Hong Kong or not, and if you want to get the compensation back, that is also your credit. Of course, I have the power of the Qing Dynasty, but as an envoy, you must also be talented, otherwise what is the use of having no heavenly power? “

"It's a pity, I can't correct your name, Lord Xu, it's a pity. I just wore out my mouth, but I didn't change everyone's impression. ”

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "Jiang Nanfu, I want to tell you, it is not the fault of the cow to play the piano." It is the fault of people who play the piano to the cow, you know that they are stupid like a cow, stupid and strong, but you still play the piano to the cow, it is your own fault. ”

Jiang Nanfu was thoughtful, but Xu Qing took the initiative to invite and said, "Brother Jiang Xian, can you take me to your residence to see, I rarely meet a confidant today, and I should drink three hundred cups." ”

Jiang Nanfu took the initiative to reply modestly: "Lord Xu, I am also a guest in the capital, and my humble house is simple, please don't be surprised!" ”

"It doesn't matter, let's go, let's visit the house!" Xu Qing said.

Xu Qing and Zhao Qiu followed Jiang Nanfu and quickly left the inn.

"Xu Qing scolded us for being cows just now, is he actually our stupid and tough cows?" "Bastard, how dare they? Bastard! "This traitor, what a traitor!" "Jiang Nanfu actually left with the traitor? Jiang Nanfu, I misjudged you! ”…

Those scholars were so angry that they hurriedly stomped their feet, but they didn't dare to do anything to Xu Qing, after all, Xu Qing was an official of the imperial court!
