Zhao Guanhou was taken aback, he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager Cixi would make such a heavy bet and treat countless people as the inner treasure of Tang monk's meat and reward herself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiaode Zhang are all worried about this money, and the palace outside the palace and even Tie Liang, Liangfu and other relatives and nobles are also eyeing the inside, such a windfall will actually fall into their own hands.

He hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The minister doesn't dare." It is the duty of the ministers to train the troops to protect the country, and the court will raise and allocate the required funds. The internal money is Lafayette's private property, and the ministers dare not covet it. ”

"Don't you dare, those slaves are all worried. I'm still angry, these brutes began to use tricks, play with their hearts, and do everything possible to calculate my internal money. The more they do this, the more I can't let the money fall into the hands of this group of losers. The money falls into your hands, you can use it to train troops to protect the country, suppress the party and resist foreigners, and fall into their hands, I don't know where to throw it, and in the end it is not clear. So I don't give you this money, but let you use it to train the army and contribute to the country, you are a governor of Zhili, and you have no money in your hands, how can you do it? ”

Originally, Zhao Guanhou was only the governor of Shandong, and he was only responsible for the supply of military salaries for one town and another mixed association in his own territory, if he was really placed in the position of governor of Zhili, among the six towns in Beiyang, except for the first town, the other five towns, he could influence and interfere. If you want to interfere with the Five Towns and the Mixed Association, silver is also a necessary thing, there is no military salary, no reward, why should the soldiers below be at your disposal.

It was this reward of mercy, and Zhao Guanhou did not dare to refuse, so he had to kowtow and thank him. Only then did Cixi breathe a sigh of satisfaction, "You remember my words, the old woman doesn't need you to repay me, I just need you to remember that you are the son-in-law of the Wanyan family." It's not early, Lian Ying, prepare a car to send them back, don't let Lao Qing wait. The two of you will hand over the money. I'll call you again in two days, just go through the motions, you can deal with it, finish the formalities, don't rush back to Shandong, stay in Beijing for a few more days, and wait for me to wear filial piety. ”

When he came out of Fozhaolou, it was already late at night, Yuqing's tears were like a flood that opened the floodgates, flowing endlessly, and the handkerchief was no longer usable, Zhao Guanhou had to give her his handkerchief, and took her in his arms, letting Yuqing cry in his arms.

Li Lianying's mood was also very sad, and she sighed: "Lafayette is still a nostalgic person, knowing that I am being remembered, he deliberately gave his money to Lord Zhao." You're sharing the pot for me, those people who are staring at me, when they know this, I'm afraid they want to use their brains on you, you have to be careful. ”

"Don't worry, whether it's to you or me, whoever dares to stretch out his hand indiscriminately, I will never let it go. Xia Guan has also killed people in the palace, and whoever is not afraid of death can just try. Did any of them offend the Governor? If there is, the lower officials will do it for you. ”

"With that, there is everything. With the face of Lafayette, no one is so stupid as to dare to use my brain, but some small actions are inevitable. Over the years in the palace, I have seen a lot, they love as much as they like, Lafayette is alive, I am her old man's slave, if one day I go, I am also her old man's slave. Wherever I go, I am also serving Lafayette, and I am not afraid of what means they use against me. It's that I have a bunch of sub-clansmen, and I have to leave a way back for them. ”

"Rest assured, your family is the family of the lower officials. Whether it is coming to Shandong or Jinmen, Xiaguan has a way to arrange. ”

"Guanhou, the first time I met you, I felt that I fell in love, and now that I think about it, this is the truth. You, like Lafayette, are both old and friendship-minded masters, and I feel relieved to work with people like you. Internal affairs, within a day or two, I will do a good job with you. ”

The two of them had decided, and when they got out of the car, Yuqing was already crying and couldn't walk, so Zhao Guanhou simply hugged her in the way of a princess, hugged her out of the car, and carried her all the way into Qingwang's mansion. Li Lianying ordered the driver to carry the suitcase of mercy and reward into the house together. When he returned to the palace, Cixi had not yet slept, and after summoning him, he asked, "What did he have to say along the way?" ”

"Back to Lafayette's words, there has never been. The ten masters cried like a person, and in the end, Lord Zhao took her home. ”

Cixi listened, his heart was slightly wider, it seems that the relationship between the two husband and wife is still very heavy, Yuqing has not fallen out of favor, so his worries can be alleviated a lot. She sighed, "In the Dajin Kingdom now, there are not many people who can believe it. This time, I don't know whether I was right or not. It's a pity that my body and bones no longer allow me to wait, whether it's right or wrong, I can only take a risk, and the rest only depends on whether my ancestors bless it. Lian Ying, you can arrange it for me, you must watch the side of Yingtai closely, and you can't let the other side go behind me. ”

"Minions understand."

Inside King Qing's Mansion.

Yuqing was still sobbing until she was put on the bed by Zhao Guanhou, and looked at Zhao Guanhou pitifully and said, "E, I'm really not in the mood today...... If you want to, go find a girl in the house......"

"Look at what you said, you're not in the mood, and I'm not in the mood either, how good it is for everyone to talk together." Zhao Guanhou took off his coat as he spoke, lay down next to Yuqing, hugged her, and patiently explained. "There will be such a day, and it is useless to be sad. I asked you to go to a girls' school to study, just to make you understand science, life is a natural law of old age, sickness and death, irreversible, for this matter, it is not good. Besides, once Cisheng goes, the world will be shaken, and I have a lot of things to worry about, if something happens to your body again, I will take care of you, and then I will have to put down my business. ”

"Can't...... You can't put down your business. Yuqing grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand and said: "Lafayette has entrusted the country to you, and if you put down your business, you won't be sorry for her old man." I can take care of myself, you don't care about me, just take care of your business. ”

"That can't be done, for me, whether it's internal money or direct governor, it's all empty, and I can live very comfortably without them. It's worth my contribution, just because you are my wife, I don't want you to be sad, if you have a mistake, I don't care about anything, immediately resign and go back to the mountains and forests. ”

Yuqing knew that most of these words were teasing herself, but she was still very useful in her heart, leaned her head in his arms, closed her eyes and fell asleep. When she woke up, the sky was already bright, and seeing Zhao Guanhou looking down at herself, Yuqing smiled shyly, "You ...... all night." Didn't sleep? ”

"Yes, you talk and cry at night, how did you sleep."

"I had a nightmare, I dreamed that the Dajin Kingdom was over, and the flag was changed in the capital, and I was scared when I saw that the Yellow Dragon Flag was gone, so I started crying. What's going on, it's too rude, you go to bed now, I'll serve you in a wide coat. ”

"It's too late, I don't have much time to sleep today, it's also afternoon when Pi Nili wants to come over, I take advantage of this time to go out to pay respects, and also scan it, what is the style of Beijing now." You cry too hard, I'm afraid you'll hurt your body, let the kitchen make you some tonic soup, I'll go out. ”

King Qing had already arrived at the military aircraft to be on duty, and after Zhao Guanhou instructed the housekeeper, he changed into civilian clothes, directly called a car, and sent himself to the concessions of various countries in Dongjiaomin Lane. The one he went to visit was still Sai Jinhua.

In the past two years, Sai Jinhua is still a hot celebrity in the concession, she is not committed to others, and she can contact Zhao Guanhou and other officials, raise her value for herself, and also find a way out. Her experience with Wadsey also added a bit of legend to her, and some prodigal children made money on her, just hoping to be able to kiss Fangze and live the addiction of a world marshal.

When Zhao Guanhou arrived, it was just after nine o'clock, according to the rules of the hospital, at this time, the benefactor had just risen, and it was not yet time for business. The two-story western-style building rented by Sai Jinhua often holds receptions in the evening, and it is also the rule that there are a few women under him to deal with foreign guests. But Zhao Guanhou has a special identity, and as soon as he came here, the porter immediately called, and it didn't take long to see Sai Jinhua with fluffy hair, wearing a silk pajamas, and walking down from the upstairs with two slippers barefoot.

She is usually a person with a very heavy personal appearance, her makeup is not in her mind, and she will never come out to meet people, she is so plain and faceless, and she looks so embarrassed, except for extremely caring people, it is difficult for others to see. When the two met, Zhao Guanhou showed a fire oil diamond ring in his hand, which was a piece of jewelry taken from the reward of Cixi, and handed it up, "Second sister, a little gift, not a respect." ”

"Huh? How did you send me such a nice thing? It's hard to want to please the second sister all the time, and also come to learn from those wronged bosses, and ask for a bunk here with me. If you come, don't use these things, just make a phone call, and the second sister is always welcome to borrow the dry shop. ”

Sai Jinhua smiled and took Zhao Guanhou's hand and entered his room. There was a little eldest sister and a mother-in-law with a raw face as helpers in her room, Sai Jinhua pointed to the aunt and said: "She is from my good sister in Songjiang, you haven't seen it, not only is she good-looking, but she also burns first-hand dishes." Have you eaten, I'll ask her to make food for you. ”

"I just didn't eat anything, so I went to the second sister to ask for a bowl of morning tea to eat."

Zhao Guanhou didn't see anything outside here, the little eldest sister was familiar with him, stepped forward to take off his coat and hat for him, Zhao Guanhou hooked her chin with his fingers, and looked at her twice, "The yellow-haired girl has become a lot more beautiful than the previous two years." ”

"Yes, you can come out to do business in a few more years, and you can comb her cage when the time comes." Sai Jinhua's joke made the little sister who was just fourteen blushing with shame, and ran outside with a cigarette. The aunt has seen a big battle, naturally not afraid of men, although she has just come, but also understands that this must be her master's intimate person, some important words, the moment to leave, "I will go to the kitchen, for the guests to cook something good to eat." ”

When she also withdrew, Sai Jinhua sat in front of the dresser and beckoned: "You ran away from my little sister, now come over and help the second sister get her hair." I know that you are a good hand at combing your wives and washing their faces in Shandong, and you are also here to serve the second sister. ”

"It's as it should be, there's nothing to say." Zhao Guanhou said and stood behind Sai Jinhua, combed his hair with a wooden comb, and carefully coiled the colors. "I'm not bragging, I want to talk about hair, even the craftsmanship of those people in the concession is only worthy of being my apprentice. My hair, even in Tessie, is first-class fashionable. In Shandong, many foreign ladies are waiting for Hanzhi's hair to come out, and they do it themselves. I cleaned up for the second sister, and the entire concession would ring. ”

"That's good, in this way, I have face, and it will be more convenient to act in the future. Okay brother, I don't know when you came from Shandong, but it's a matter of one or two days, and I'll definitely know after three days. When I arrived in Beijing, I came here in the morning, not just to get my hair, but to say anything. ”

"I'm here to send a message to the second sister. Now that you are making friends with foreigners, you eat a face meal and a news meal, and the news is not bright, so it is not easy to mess up. I'll give you a breath, two palaces, it's a matter of the past two days. ”

Sai Jinhua didn't move, only nodded, "I have to tell Ning Zhu about this news." In the past two days, Xiaode Zhang didn't come, Ning Zhu only wanted to break off with himself, and the woman who had followed the eunuch couldn't eat this bowl of rice, and the eunuch didn't want her, so he couldn't find a man who wanted her, and he was anxious to die or live. Now that I say it, I understand that he is not not coming, but he can't come. On the foreigner's side, I will press the news first and not let them know. ”

"The second sister is a measured person, after all, it is good for her own advantage, I don't need to tell me more. The second sister helped me clean up Zhai Hongji that day, and if I don't come to deliver this news today, I am not worthy of being a person. ”

Sai Jinhua smiled, "Don't say that, you have helped me a lot in the past two years, and it is the Yankee railroad king, in fact, he still misses my love." After all, if you hadn't given me face, my business wouldn't be where it is now. Say what you owe whom, the words will be far away, if you have anything to say, sit down and say, if you want to help, the second sister will do it for you. ”

Zhao Guanhou sat down, but he was not in a hurry, "This matter is not in a hurry, the second sister doesn't have to go out of his way to listen to it, just have the opportunity to help me listen to the rumors." King Alcohol became the regent, and the two in Beifu will inevitably make a fortune. They have had a holiday with me, and the second sister knows it, if there is any trick against me, it is inevitable that there will be rumors, and the second sister will help me keep an eye on it. Besides, help me listen and listen, if there is anything wrong with these people, I don't believe it, they are monolithic. Also, on the foreigners' side, there is no news. What I'm most afraid of now is that foreigners are making trouble at this opportunity, and then there will really be a big mess. ”

Sai Jinhua shook her head and said, "Foreigners here, I'm sure there's no big mess." The ministers' minds now are not on this, but on making money. You may not know in Shandong, now there is a way to make a fortune, the more capital, the more you earn, I originally wanted to Shandong to remind you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself. This time it's just right, how about we go down this road together? ”

"The way to get rich, what way, even foreigners are involved?"

"Speculate on stocks!" (To be continued.) )
