The sky is full of snowflakes, there are no people on the street, the snow drives people back to the layer, the sedan chair driver carries the sedan chair on the snow road, although it is winter, but the sedan chair drivers are still sweating profusely, and even their foreheads are glowing with some heat, and the falling snowflakes fall on their foreheads, and instantly become one with the sweat.

"Have you arrived?"

Again, lifting the sedan curtain, Liu Guoli asked the sedan chair man.

"Uncle, it's almost here, that is, half a mile!"

Liu Guoli's answer made Liu Guoli breathe a sigh of relief, but his brows were still frowning.

If that Tang Haoran is really Brother Tang's descendant, then Brother Tang can also be blinded under Jiuquan...... Liu Guoli muttered in his heart, but then he thought of another thing, although Tang Haoran said that he was young, not only was he a member of the three grades of the dynasty, but also had the trust of the governor, and entrusted him with the general office of the Hubei smoking ban, if the Liu family recognized this family, it would be a good thing for the Liu family.

"But what if not?"

If not, not to mention that Brother Tang has no queen, the Liu family will no longer be able to climb this family! It is not only Liu Guoli who suffers from gains and losses, Song Yuxin who is sitting in another sedan chair, as he gets closer and closer to the Tang family, his heart also suffers from gains and losses, he knows that his future will all be bet on this matter, if Tang Haoran is indeed from the Tang family and has relatives with Liu Guoli, then as expected, the master of Taiwan will definitely appoint himself on an errand, even if the master of Taiwan does not come forward, if he enters the Tang Ziran shogunate, he will not take him in.

Into the Tang Ziran curtain!

In an instant, a question that had never been thought of was tumbling in Song Yuxin's mind, Tang Ziran was only twenty-three years old, and he became famous all over the world for being proficient in Western studies, and now he is even more reused by Zhang Zhidong, presiding over the ban on smoking in Hubei Province, not to mention, just because he is proficient in foreign affairs, isn't it a talent that the imperial court needs? Whether it is Zhang Zhidong or Li Hongzhang, they are inseparable from such talents, if they can vote under Tang Ziran, how can they be compared with Zhiyi County, and the political envoy of Zhili is not just out of Li Hongzhang's curtain, and there are countless prefects and governors from the shogunate in the world.

Thinking of the local officials in the shogunate, Song Yuxin and then the discrimination of the officialdom against the donated class, all kinds of thoughts were churning and stirring in his mind.

"Silver!"

Tang Haoran, who was sitting in the study, kept muttering these two words.

No money!

The Preparatory Office of the Anti-Smoking Bureau, before it started, there was no silver, and the governor's yamen only gave 60,000 taels, and there were still 20,000 taels to be solved, the so-called to be solved, in fact, there was no money in the treasury, at least now there was no money, and when the treasury had money, it would be handed over to the Anti-Smoking Bureau, and when there would be money, I'm afraid only God knows.

If you don't have money, you can't do anything.

From ancient times to the present, no matter what happens, it has always been silver to open the way, and the reason why it is stained with this "muddy water" is not to grasp the silver power?

"Where do you get the money?"

If the monopoly has been implemented, Tang Haoran will not be worried, and he will naturally make money every day when the time comes, but now, let alone the implementation of the monopoly, together with the stalls of the anti-smoking bureau have not yet been rolled out, the anti-smoking staff has not yet completed the registration of smokers in the three towns, and the special police who enforce the smoking ban have not yet been recruited, how can the smoking ban be implemented.

No smoking, naturally no silver.

"The old man gives you half a year......"

Half a year, I only have half a year!

Thinking of Zhang Zhidong's words, Tang Haoran even began to wonder if he was talking too much at that time, let alone establishing an organ as clean as the customs in this corrupt late Qing officialdom, which is now good, and it has become difficult to even operate.

At this moment, Xiaoyun's words interrupted Tang Haoran's thoughts.

"Young master, there is a guest at home, it's Mr. Zhao!"

Zhao Fengchang?

What is he here for?

Until the guests entered the hall, Tang Haoran glanced at the two people who came with Zhao Fengchang, one was an old man over sixty years old, the other was over forty years old, but in the harsh winter, he only wore a single coat and looked at the middle-aged man who seemed to be a little down, the two of them had different clothes and temperaments, who were they?

When Tang Haoran looked at the two people, Liu Guoli also stared at Tang Haoran, just looking at Tang Haoran's figure and thick eyebrows and big eyes, his expression suddenly became excited, so that his breathing became short.

That's right, that's right, it must be Brother Tang's descendant, although there seems to be a difference in appearance, but just this one, you can't fake it! Even Liu Guoli didn't realize that in his subconscious, he hoped that the other party was the descendant of the Tang family, so that not only could his old friend and Jiuquan be blinded, but also bring benefits to the Liu family.

Subconsciously made a mistake, just when Zhao Fengchang was introducing Liu Guoli, he saw Liu Guoli crying excitedly.

"That's right, that's right, you must be my Tang brother's grandson, these eyes, these eyebrows, and this figure, that's right! That's right! ”

What, what!

The old man's crying made Tang Haoran confused for a while, and looked at Zhao Fengchang in confusion, Liu Guoli's gaffe suddenly disrupted Zhao Fengchang's overall plan, and even Xiangshuai ...... Thinking of Dong Weng, Zhao Fengchang hurriedly said.

"Ziran, you are looking for relatives, Xiang Shuai has always been in mind, just arrived in Wuchang and ordered his brother to find it on his behalf, fortunately, the Tang family was kind for generations and good with people, although after decades, many people remember the good ...... of the Tang family"

Zhao Fengchang even boasted that he pushed all the "kindness" to Dong Weng, as for Song Yuxin beside him, he didn't mention it, but Song Yuxin was afraid and never complained, but he looked at Tang Ziran, who was in the limelight in Hubei officialdom, with a complicated vision, this person is young and can occupy this important position, if it is time, how can it be limited in the future?

“…… This old Mr. Liu, it is said that you and he are still related, and Mrs. Liu is from the Tang family, and Ling Zu is a brother and sister! ”

"Ahh

With an exclamation, Tang Haoran only felt dizzy, he couldn't believe his ears, this, how could this be possible!

Of course it can't be, I am obviously from 2015, how can I be related to him, just in Tang Haoran's surprise.

"Whether Ling Zun's surname is Tang Dan Mingqin, Ling Zu is Tang Shude......"

Liu Guoli's words only caused Tang Haoran to seem to be beating like a drum in his mind, this must be a coincidence, Shude, Shude, no, grandpa's name is Tang Shude, he was born in the 37th year of the Republic of China, he is ...... Just when Tang Haoran was thinking about his own family affection in his heart, there was a voice echoing in his heart to admit it!

Recognize this family, you will no longer be rootless in this era, you don't need to have any scruples, all your life history can be explained clearly, who will go to Europe and the United States to investigate themselves in this era, even if it is a university in Europe and the United States, when they become famous, they will naturally scramble to reissue their academic qualifications to themselves, where they will care about their "impersonation".

Looking at Liu Guoli, Tang Haoran, who had countless thoughts in his heart, thought of his relatives who could never see each other again in another time and space, tears suddenly flowed down, and the cry also came out of his voice, which was without a trace of pretentiousness and false emotion, in his bitter crying, Liu Guoli also cried, although he was nearly seventy years old, but the tears that came to him could not be faked.

"Haoran, I've been miserable for you all these years, you don't know, my uncle and your aunt have been talking about that poor nephew every day for decades, he was only seven years old when the family was broken, and he was all damn long-haired......"

Hugging Tang Haoran, who was sitting down on his knees, Liu Guoli cried and complained, in the past few decades, how many sins and grievances the Liu family has suffered, he has never cried, but today he cried, not only to find the descendants of the Tang family, but also for himself, from the call of Lord Zhao one by one, "old gentleman", he knew that the time had come for the Liu family to raise his eyebrows, and from now on, he would no longer need to be a man with his tail between his legs.

Zhao Fengchang on the side looked at the crying appearance of the old and the young, sighed in his heart the true feelings between the two, and comforted him repeatedly.

"Mr. Liu, Ziran, today is a great event, you should be happy......"

Under the persuasion of Zhao Fengchang, the two slowly regained their calm, and in the next nearly an hour, Liu Guoli pulled him from time to time to ask how their grandfather had survived in the West over the years, listening to what happened to his nephew after being swept away by Long Hair, and scolded one after another, and in the end, it was natural to take Tang Haoran to Liu's house to see his aunt, and when she saw the gray-haired aunt, she immediately cried silently.

"That's right, it must be after my Qin'er, this looks the same as when Qin'er was a child, our Tang family has a queen, big brother, ......"

In the old man's crying, Tang Haoran hugged the old woman's body, although he didn't know if it was his genuine ancestor, but looking at the kind old woman, Tang Haoran still felt a little close. And the old woman held Tang Haoran's face and said it over and over again.

The firecrackers were set off, and that night, the Liu Mansion, which was not very big, was very lively, and several married daughters of the Liu family also came back, especially those aunts, who were even more eager to let Tang Haoran ask non-stop, and in this excitement, Tang Haoran's heart, who seemed to have found family affection, was still empty, because he knew that compared to their family affection, he just needed them!

The snow is still falling, it is falling very much, in the snow in the alley, a person standing there, although it is a harsh winter, but he is wearing a single coat, he is shivering from the cold, from time to time to look towards the alley, the Liu family's family banquet Song Yuxin left the Liu Mansion, thoughtful He did not go home directly, but came to the Tang Mansion, he knows, now there are two ways in front of him to choose, which one to choose?

If you choose Tang Ziran, what should you do? Thinking of the recruitment conducted by the Anti-Smoking Bureau according to the customs system, Song Yuxin knew that he might not be able to pass the guò exam, but Song Yuxin knew what his strengths were compared to others.

Just thinking about it, the sound of horses' hooves came from the alley, looking at the approaching Western-style carriage, Song Yuxin knew that Tang Zaban was back, and he was the only official who sat in the Western-style carriage in Wuchang City, and after the carriage stopped, Tang Haoran, who was already drunk, just got off the car, and heard a voice behind him.

"I've seen Lord Tang in my late life!"

The voice behind him almost didn't startle Tang Haoran, and when he turned around, he saw a snowman standing in front of him......
