There were still a few days before the day he entered Beijing, so he deliberately took leave, went home to pick up the yellow coat, and also told Su Hanzhi the news. Jiang Fengzhi was listening, her eyes were a little dull, and she reacted after a while, and shook Su Hanzhi and said, "Sister, did you hear it?" Guanhou is about to change into a second grade! Second grade! I have heard people say that Huang Tianba is also a second-class person. You have another lady, I see that you have to kowtow to you. ”

Su Hanzhi took a sip, "You, don't shake me away, I'll be content, and kowtow." Besides, I don't want Guanhou to do this errand, dealing with foreigners, it's too dangerous. I heard that those people are very savage, and if they are not satisfied, they will be beaten and killed, and it will be difficult to serve. I'd rather be a justice of the peace and eat some peace pay than let him take the risk. ”

No matter what she said, but Zhao Guanhou's departure has already been decided, so naturally it can't be changed. In the evening, the family got together and had a meal, which was regarded as a pick-up and a feast. As for the extra Jiang Fengzhi, everyone seems to be used to it, and no one thinks she is inappropriate here.

When it was night, Zhao Guanhou hugged the bedding and was about to go to the study to sleep, but was stopped by Su Hanzhi. The latter was silent in the dark for a long time before he mustered up the courage to say: "Women are no better than men, and they don't pay attention to filial piety for three years, and I have been keeping filial piety for my father for a hundred days, don't leave tonight, just stay here." ”

Three days later, Zhao Guanhou set off for Beijing from the old dragon head, got off at Majiapu Station, and unsurprisingly, saw the Huntsmei. The driver was still the attendant named Jin Zhong from the previous two times, who greeted Zhao Guanhou and let people into the car.

Wanyan Yuqing is not dressed as a man today as in the past, but wears a Western skirt and a sky blue hat on her head, which is both beautiful and foreign. When the carriage was running, she smiled and asked, "How is it, is it pretty?" ”

"Of course it looks good, it looks good in everything you wear in ten grids, let me take a good look."

Yuqing resisted lightly a few times, and then let him hold him, only whispering, "Who is afraid of whom?" The tenth master is still afraid that you will not succeed...... Forehead ......"

The two reunited, but they were newlywed, and after getting tired of it for a while, Zhao Guanhou suddenly put a long braid into Shigege's hand, "You said last time, it's good that I don't have braids." I promised you, I haven't done it, and I'll make up for it this time. ”

"Huh? You...... Did you cut your braids? You don't want to die! Yuqing just said casually last time, but I didn't expect Zhao Guanhou to really cut off the braids, and only wore a wig braid on the back of his head.

At this time, Jin Guo was still very strict about braids, unless it was a believer or a foreigner in the consulate, and others cut their braids, and they had to lose their heads. Especially in the capital, which is not more strict than the south, Jin Shishi exclaimed: "You are ...... How...... Why is it so flustered? As soon as I say it, you'll do it. ”

"Afraid of what? As soon as we returned from Prussia, our Lord Yin Wulou cut off his braids, and when he saw the old lady, he just wore a fake one. I want to see the Prince of Prussia this time, so naturally I have to socialize, so neat. Besides, since you said that I look better without braids, I'll listen to you. ”

Yuqing has a sweet heart, she has a strange temperament, she has the boldness of a man, but also the delicacy and affection of her daughter's family. lost her virginity under impulse that day, Zhao Guanhou had her own wife, and she always had a pimple in her heart. Until he saw that he was willing to cut his braids for himself, he only felt that in his heart, his position must be more important, so he was extremely happy.

"Your errand this time is still what I told Amana, but I didn't expect you to cut your braids, you are really too bold. Just ask God forbid, don't be seen, otherwise it will be really troublesome. ”

As she spoke, she carefully put away the braid, which was the best gift this man could give herself, and it was also a testimony of the love between the two, and she should keep it safe.

"It's not easy to greet the prince, and if you don't know where to do something inappropriate, it will cause disputes. Even the Hefei minister of Xianliang Temple was invited to take charge of the reception this time. It's just that he and Zhang Qiaoye don't get along, the two of them hinder each other, and no one is willing to contribute. As for those Prussian Zhangjing, not to mention. If you are not as good as me in terms of ability, and you are worried enough for Amma, I have no choice but to protect you. Although the errand is difficult to do, as long as it is done, it is easy to be promoted, and it is possible to upgrade a few levels in a row. ”

Speaking of which, the ten-grid face is slightly red, and a four-pinnia blue top naturally can't enter the eyes of the Qingdi Law. But if a second-grade member is qualified, he is qualified to marry her. As long as you hide your father's big things, there is a lot of hope for this matter, but when you think of this, no matter how bold a girl is, she is still inevitably a little shy.

This time, because it was official business, I didn't know when there would be a dispatch, and I announced the summons, asking that if there was a summons, it would be inconvenient to stay at the Rokkoku Hotel.

Nowadays, when officials enter Beijing, it is popular to live in guild halls, but Jinmen is too close to the capital, and there is no guild hall here. It was a carriage and horse parked outside a small mansion near Xicheng, "This is a courtyard of Naqin Xuan, I told him, asked him to borrow a few days to live, and he agreed." Don't worry, he and I are very good, and it doesn't matter if you stay for a few months. ”

Wan Yan Yuqing led the way in front while talking, the subordinates on the door and the girls in the inner house were also very complete, and their attitudes were also very deferential, as if Zhao Guanhou was really the owner of this house. Of course, there must not be a shortage of benefits for each person, otherwise there will be no servant to give a good face.

After sitting down, the girl offered tea, and then obediently withdrew, Yuqing asked, "E, did you bring money with you to Beijing this time?" ”

"Money? Of course, I must have brought it, more than 20,000 yuan, what, if you have useful items, take them all. Zhao Guanhou divided Yuan Fengdang's belongings, one of those ancient paintings was given to Qi Kaifen, and the other three calligraphy and paintings were handed over to Mrs. Jensen.

I don't want to, there is not only the handwriting of the royal family of the previous dynasty, but also a very precious calligraphy, which is the authentic handwriting of Cai Jing, the minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and got it to the auction house in Hong Kong, after deducting the formalities and transaction fees, the money received is more than 35,000 taels.

When he entered Beijing this time, he prepared a large number of 20,000 taels, and another more than 3,000 taels, ready to deal with the following. Only ten squares of money, immediately from the book of protection, take out all the silver tickets.

Yuqing's eyes turned red, and she blinked desperately a few times, and finally blocked the tears. "No...... I'll ask Amma for money, I mean you...... Now long live the house, then Pang Delu will be majestic again. If he deals with you, it's not easy, you have to have someone to support you. If you want to deal with the surname Pang, you have to feed the Pi Ni Li. Don't look at the Queen Mother's return to power now, but long live seeing Pi Ni Li, you have to call him a good person. He is willing to say a word for you, and Pang Delu doesn't dare to do anything to you. ”

As she spoke, she also took out her purse and spread out the silver tickets inside, but there were more than 30,000 yuan. There was a smug look on her face, "How about it, not a lot?" I'll tell you, I quit the house at the Six Nations Hotel, and sold some of the gadgets I was tired of, and if it weren't for the Huntsman no one to take over, I would have sold it too. Now I live with my mother, it's not as convenient as in the past, but it saves money. Also, I smell very little snuff now, and I make do with second-way smoke, like the duck head green, but I don't smoke it anymore, it's too expensive. ”

A Gege who makes money like water, but now he is beginning to calculate expenses like a housewife, Zhao Guanhou's heart softened, and he grabbed her hand, "Yuqing, you don't need this, I can support you." ”

"I know that my forehead will be able to support me. But...... If you raise me with all the money, what will happen to the Su family? She met you at the beginning of Yu Hanwei, and she was able to accompany you to endure hardships and live a poor life together. Why can't I? I can bear the sins she can bear, otherwise, wouldn't I be compared to her? I will never admit defeat after Yan Yuqing. Besides, my life is not hard now, and the scenes of eating, drinking, and having fun are the same. It's just that the unnecessary expenses are gone, which is also good. I didn't expect that I had spent so much money over the years. You take the money, let's go to Dongxing Building for dinner, and then save the money, I think Pi Ni Li will understand what we mean, and the rest of the matter depends on him. ”

Dongxing Building is the No. 1 Shandong restaurant in the capital, the owner behind it is Li Lianying, Zhao Guanhou and Yuqing went upstairs, went straight to the single room, and then ordered the dregs of duck strips and duck loins, salt-fried belly, fried gizzard to the side, mullet eggs and vegetarian several signature dishes, and then handed over a silver ticket of 10,000 taels, only said that it was to set up a fold on the counter, in order to eat here again in the future.

The shopkeeper is a well-behaved person, so he naturally knows that such a large number will not be a cabinet, and he has something to ask his owner for help. What's more, Jin Shi, the famous Jin Shi in Sijiu City, was accompanied by a foreign dress, and it seemed that he was getting along, so he didn't dare to underestimate it, and wrote down Zhao Guanhou's name and resume in detail.

Zhao Guanhou and Jin Shi only drank a few glasses of wine in the private seat, and the dishes had just been pressed on the table, when the door curtain was suddenly opened, and the two looked up, only to see the chief manager Li Lianying walking in from outside.

"Shigege, Lord Zhao, which one of you are making trouble? If it weren't for the slave who happened to go out of the palace to do business, the people below would have almost accepted the money. How do you say this, isn't this a loss of friendship? This Dongxing Building is our own industry, you can come if you want, eat if you want, raise your legs after eating, and check out, isn't it a slap in the face of the old slave? 10,000 silver pressed cabinet, this gift...... It's too heavy. ”

The two hurriedly got up and saluted, Shigege cordially stepped forward and called Uncle Li, and Zhao Guanhou also said: "The chief manager, these ten hangs of silver are for the filial piety of the chief manager, and please don't be too little." ”。

Li Lianying smiled and waved her hand, "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Shigege, you are the longevity of the slave, call uncle when you meet, how can I have such a great blessing, I can't hold it down. He looked at Zhao Guanhou again

"I heard that Han Zhongshuai has protected your second-grade top, I will be in harmony, the last time I saw you, I said that you are prosperous and prosperous. Sure enough, this is just twenty, it is the top of the second grade, and the future future must be limitless. As for these ten hanging money, I can't ask for it, you are not Yuan Rong'an, let alone Han Zhonghua, it is not easy for them to make money. When I have a heart, I will know. It seems that not all people in the world are snobs, but there are still people who remember my old bones and are willing to recognize me as an old slave. ”

"Uncle Li, what are you talking about, which of us dares to deny you? This amount of money was made up by me for Guanhou, and you know, I can't save money, and the money in my hand is limited. In the future, my hands will be looser, and I will be more filial to my uncle. ”

Zhao Guanhou also said: "Boss, you are polite. This amount of money is nothing, but it is just a little caution in the next little care, and the filial piety manager buys a bag of tea to drink. If you are not too little, please accept it, otherwise you will not have the face to come to this Dongxing Building to eat in the future. ”

Li Lianying snorted, "If you want to say that, I can't do it if I don't collect money, since that's the case, then I'll accept it this time." But next time, don't send it again, otherwise we won't meet. You've ordered a lot of this dish, but don't eat it here. You come with me, let's go eat a big family, the food you ordered, I'll let the guy deliver it later. ”

"Big deal? I don't know which one? ”

"Wine vinegar noodle bureau, Yang Lishan and their family. Today, Fourth Master Yang has a treat, so let's go over and have fun. He is a well-known eater in Sijiu City, and the chef at home has a few skills, which is very different from the craftsmanship in this restaurant. ”

Although the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to power, Li Lianying is still the No. 1 luxury figure in the capital at the moment, and he is willing to open the golden mouth to invite, and no one can not give face. The two followed him downstairs, Jin Shi and Zhao Guanhou got on Huntsmei, and Li Lianying had a carriage by himself and went straight to Yang's house in the wine and vinegar noodle bureau.
