Chapter Eighty-Four: An Unexpected Encounter

In the women's dormitory of the Beijing Normal University Hall, Ann Qian was sitting on the bed in the dormitory and was a little sullen. The girls who stayed with her were ready to finish dinner, but she was still frowning, as if she was thinking about something, and she didn't even mean to eat dinner.

"What's wrong?" Huang Lin lightly touched Anqian and asked, "What are you thinking?" You can't be thinking about that young master Li Ming of yours, right? He's the same person, how did he do it lately, it's been a long time since he came to his Qian'er. ”

"No nonsense." Anxi quickly got up: "What's mine, his." You damn girl, you dare to make fun of me. Anqian blushed and chased Huang Lin in the dormitory.

"Then what do you think about it?" Huang Lin, who was across the table from An Qian, was still unrelenting.

"I'm thinking about ......" Anqian's words suddenly stopped, "what am I thinking, why am I telling you." ”

"If you don't say it, I know it, let me say it!" For a while, there was laughter in the dormitory.

"Okay, let's stop making a fuss, let's go to dinner." Li Jurong spoke: "There will be a holiday in a few days." Do you have any plans? ”

"Go home......"

Before Huang Lin finished speaking, she heard the aunt who was guarding the door of the girls' dormitory shouting loudly: "Anqian, someone is looking for you." ”

"I'll take a look." Huang Lin ran out as he spoke, and said before going out: "Let's see if Young Master Li is here." ”

After only a while, Huang Lin came back, and said secretly: "It's really Young Master Li who is here." ”

"What are you doing?" Downstairs, Antie was furious.

Guangxu, who didn't know why, was confused by the question, and said cautiously for a long time: "Didn't you borrow a book on mechanics in the library last week?" I just went to the library and they said you haven't returned it yet. I'll ask if you've finished reading it, I want to borrow it. ”

"That's right. Not yet. Ann Qian shook her head with a look of disdain.

"But I'm really anxious to use that book." Guangxu is really in a hurry, this book is the latest mechanical book published in the UK. Some parts of the new steam turbine cannot be done at the moment with the current processing technology of Daqing. Guangxu was anxious to find some information.

"Li Ming, this is yours. How long has it been since you've been looking for our Akane? It makes us think about it all night. Huang Lin smiled playfully and made a move to Guangxu: "Why do you want to invite Qian'er to dinner?" ”

Guangxu seemed to suddenly realize, and hurriedly took two steps forward: "I wonder if Wansheng is lucky enough to have dinner with Miss Anxier?" After speaking, Guangxu gently bent down and stretched out his right hand.

Guangxu's move caused laughter from the surrounding area.

"You ......" Anqian blushed, "You wait first." After that, he ran back to the dormitory.

Look at the laughter of the crowd. Guangxu asked, "Isn't that funny?" ”

"Funny, of course funny." Huang Lin laughed so hard that her waist couldn't straighten up: "If you don't know Western etiquette, don't learn randomly." How can there be the etiquette of inviting girls to dance, and invite people to dinner. Hahaha, I'm laughing to death. ”

"This ...... It's not that I don't understand. Well, don't even laugh. Guangxu stood very embarrassed: "Look at Yang Zao'er, smile without showing teeth, this is the model of your traditional Chinese female surname." You should all study hard. ”

"The young master laughed." Yang Zao'er was a little shy and lowered her head.

"Now, here you go." Ann Qian put the book heavily on Guangxu's hand.

Unexpectedly, the first thing Guangxu did when he got the book was to retreat to the side of the road, open the book and read it greedily. Everyone waited for a while and didn't see any movement from Guangxu.

"Hey, what are you doing? I want to eat Quanjude roast duck. Anqian was very dissatisfied with Guangxu's refusal to answer her actions: "Hey, talk to you." ”

"Ah, what's the matter?" Guangxu was frowning and thinking about the processing process, when he suddenly heard Anqian ask him to raise his head hurriedly: "Oh, oh, no problem, it's no problem to eat whatever you want." Looking at everyone, Guangxu, who had just reacted, closed the book in his hand: "I just said where to eat." Take a walk. ”

"It's Quanjude." Huang Lin looked at Guangxu with a smile, giving Guangxu the feeling that he wanted to take her.

"I wonder if the three young ladies are willing to go with you?"

"Absolutely." Huang Lin was naturally the happiest.

"I haven't spoken yet." Anqian, who wanted the two to talk alone, stomped her feet angrily because Huang Lin was also going to go.

"Looks like I'm running out of time. A few of you will go. Li Jurong looked into the distance and said, "My father is here." With that, he greeted him.

One less person can save a little. When Guangxu was secretly rejoicing, he suddenly said that his father's father was Li Jurong. Isn't Li Jurong's father Li Hongzhang? What is he doing in the capital? Looking for me to settle accounts? No, flash people quickly, and then kill him without seeing him.

"Miss Li won't go, then let's go." Guangxu hurriedly beckoned the three girls to leave quickly. But when I turned around, I found that there was only one way out, and Li Hongzhang had already come. Trouble, Zhang Peilun also came. The two of them both came to find my theory that I had snatched the second set of steam engines as well. What to do? Guangxu looked around and made sure that there was no way out, but he didn't know what to do for a while.

At the same time that Guangxu saw Li Hongzhang, Li Hongzhang also saw Guangxu. Because Li Jurong had already told Li Hongzhang that there was a young master surnamed Li in the capital who was very similar to the emperor, so when Li Hongzhang first saw it, he was just amazed that it was so similar. But not far away, Leng Jun, who seemed to be playing but was actually protecting, made Li Hongzhang a little panicked. He naturally wanted to find the emperor to theorize about the steam engine, and of course the fundraising of the Jiangnan Railway was more important. But he didn't expect to meet the emperor here, and the emperor was slightly subdued, how could this ceremony be done?

"I've seen my father. Husband, you're here too. Li Jurong stepped forward and saluted.

"That is the young master Li Ming you mentioned." Li Hongzhang looked at Guangxu from a distance and asked, "Why did he appear here?" ”

"It's Li Ming, he calls himself a young master, but his daughter inquired in many ways. It seems that there has never been such a person in the Li family in the capital. He came here to borrow books, and he had known his daughters for a long time, and his words were also speculative. Li Jurong remembered something, looked at Zhang Peilun and suddenly smiled: "He is quite dissatisfied with his husband." ”

"Oh! Let's hear it. ”

"He said that the husband married me as a flower and inserted it in the cow dung, and the husband should feel ashamed of himself. He also said that if he had met me a few years earlier, he would have nothing to do with his husband. Li Jurong is a little proud, which girl doesn't like the praise and pursuit of boys.

Zhang Peilun hurriedly saluted when he heard this: "With the ability of a good wife, I am willing to marry me as a wife, which is the blessing that I have cultivated in my three lives." To be a husband is to be ashamed of oneself. It's just, father-in-law, look at those of his retinue......"

Li Hongzhang nodded: "The old man has already seen it, so it must be." Chrysanthemum root, then Young Master Li said that if he met you a few years earlier......" Speaking of this, Li Hongzhang thought of something and suddenly said something else: "Chrysanthemum, you have known him for a long time, what do you think of this person." ”

"He is not a student of the Academy, but Principal Yung is extremely respectful to him. Although his daughter did not know his origins, this person must be unusual. Li Jurong first came to a conclusion: "This person seems to be cynical on the surface, but he must have the experience of studying in the West, not only can speak many foreign languages, but also seems to be extremely familiar with the West." He didn't know etiquette, and he made a joke just now, but he didn't care about the ridicule of others. This person is frivolous in his words, but he is often to the point about current affairs, and he knows the situation in the West as if he were the back of his hand. He said that the current situation in the country is on the verge of an abyss, and that it should be a great disaster for China. also mentioned his father and the school industry he ran many times, but it was a pity that his father was controlled by the conservatives of the imperial court. This person also said something very inexplicable, such as if China wants to stand in the forest of the world and sit on an equal footing with Western countries. There will only be 50 years at most, after which China will be controlled by others. ”

"What else did he say?" The more Li Hongzhang listened, the more interesting he felt, he didn't expect the emperor who grew up in the deep palace to have such insight.

"Destroy the original to boost the country's prestige, drive Tsarist Russia to recover the homeland, and then pull Britain down. It was his long-cherished wish. He said that the current situation in the country should be calmed down first, and it is necessary to get the full support of his father first, otherwise it is just a dream. ”

"Father......" Li Jurong stepped forward and whispered: "This person rarely mentions the Qing Dynasty in his words, and he will use Zhonghua or Huaxia to replace him here." After drinking once last year, he said that the Qing Dynasty could only represent the Manchus, but not all the Chinese nation......"

"Chrysanthemum is cautious." Li Hongzhang's heart is like a shocking wave, you are the emperor of the Manchurians, do you want to rebel against yourself: "Let the old man go and meet him." ”

Guangxu watched Li Hongzhang get closer and closer, what should I do? How do you explain the steam engine? There is no way back, and it seems that you can only bite the bullet.

Li Hongzhang had just hugged his fists, and Guangxu stepped forward and saluted: "Li Ming, who is late, has seen Lord Zhongtang, and I have asked Lord Zhongtang to say goodbye." Guangxu took a step forward with his left foot, squatted slightly, and his right hand naturally drooped. It's really a greeting.

Li Hongzhang was on the spot with his fists in his arms, what should I do? The emperor gave himself a greeting, although others didn't know, but this etiquette can't be wrong. Li Hongzhang, who was stunned, also asked Guangxu to say goodbye in Li Jurong's surprised eyes.

"The old man has said goodbye to the young master. The young master is auspicious. Guangxu just squatted slightly, this Li Hongzhang is really in place.

"It's a blessing to see Lord Zhongtang today. The late student specially invited Ling Yuan and a few classmates to have dinner, and I don't know if the adults in the middle hall will appreciate the light. When Guangxu said this, it seemed to Li Hongzhang to be very sincere.

The emperor is not easy to refuse: "In this case, the old man will dare to bother." "Actually, I still have something, Li Hongzhang thought.

Guangxu stretched out his hand sideways: "Tonight, Quanjude, Lord Zhongtang first, please." "I'm just being polite, why are you so polite.

"This is not a place for the yamen, if the young master does not give up, it will be good to call the old man Mr."

"Then Mr. Li, please."

"Young master, please."

It's awkward. Guangxu Li Hongzhang had the same idea at the moment.
