Chapter 187: Daughter Diplomacy

Wang Guorui took Zheng Hong to the first row, which is the location of the foreign consulate in Taiwan. And all countries have also set up consulates in Taiwan, so as to facilitate exchanges between countries and Taiwan. The reason why Taiwan is a consulate is because Taiwan is not a country, so it can only set up consulates, and they are under the management of the minister in China. But this is more nominal, because this consul often reports directly to the domestic diplomatic department, and does not accept the country's minister to manage, after all, Taiwan's strength is stronger than that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so the level has also been improved.

"Minister James, this is me and Uchiko to respect you!" Wang Guorui said to British Consul James.

The consuls of various countries are in the first row, so Wang Guorui must toast first. The reason why the first row of foreign consular personnel is given is because this is arranged by the Liaison Department for Friendship with Foreign Countries, because foreign consuls are considered foreign guests, and necessary preferential treatment is still required. What's more, China has always been friendly and hospitable since ancient times, and although they are future enemies, at least they are all "friends" until they turn their backs, so it is normal to treat foreign friends preferentially. This mention has been supported by many native people, and this Wang Guorui is not easy to oppose. So they are the first row, and when Wang Guorui toasts, he always toasts them first.

"The second row, that's an important person in Taiwan!" Wang Guorui thought.

In the second row, that is, important figures in Taiwan, on the far left are Ouyang Xuan, the premier, and Hu Wei, the chief of staff. The latter are all civil and military officials, respectively the heads of various departments and the presidents of the courts, and the military attachés are also officers with the rank of colonel and colonel, they are arranged in the second row, from left to right.

"Ouyang, Hu Wei. Drink, thank you for your support to me! Wang Guorui said.

Soon, the next ones were lined up one by one, and in the end, Wang Guorui actually found a stranger.

"Sir, are you?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Humph!" The man didn't bother to answer. Obviously, he is not very enthusiastic about Wang Guorui.

Wang Guorui muttered in his heart, who the hell is this, he has never seen it, not to mention that he still has a bad impression of himself. And who arranged this, if an uninvited guest comes, then I'm afraid that my wedding may be disrupted, and that will be a big problem. And Wang Guorui also began to want to hold those office officials accountable, after all, they actually came up with this matter and invited a person who was unfriendly to him to come over. It's so uninteresting.

"Governor Wang, this is the director of the Taiwan Affairs Office sent by the imperial court to Taiwan, Yu Geng! Our Liaison Office for Friendship with Foreign Countries also placed them in the second row, but not in the first row, because he was a senior member of the imperial court. Li Enfu said.

"Well, it seems that you still understand things!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui is still quite satisfied with this Li Enfu, because he arranged Yu Geng, the director of the imperial court's Taiwan Affairs Office, to the second row, and Representative An is a native of his own country. It's not like the first row is a foreigner. And the second row is the position of Taiwan's internal ministers, and there is no problem with Yu Geng, the director of the imperial court's Taiwan Office. And Yu Geng was an out-and-out supporter of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Because he is a Manchu, so he is like this, and few Manchus will have a good impression of Wang Guorui.

"Director Yu Geng, I respect you!" Wang Guorui said.

Yu Geng picked up the wine glass very disdainfully, and then drank a glass of stuffy wine without saying a word.

"You are the rebel of my Qing Dynasty, Wang Guorui? Father scolded you to death. You are still inviting your father to drink, you are really hypocritical. A little girl's voice came.

And Yu Geng's face suddenly showed a frightened look, he looked at his little daughter, who was only nine years old, and suddenly felt a sense of fear in his heart. His daughter actually said in front of Wang Guorui that he was a rebel of the court, isn't this looking for death? The reason why Yu Geng was sent here. That is to ease the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan, but this own daughter was so unceremonious, and directly said that Wang Guorui was a rebel of the imperial court, which made Yu Geng very depressed. And his daughter is young and ignorant, and she actually said what she scolded Wang Guorui behind her back, can this not make Yu Geng feel embarrassed?

"Hehe, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wu Ji!" Wang Guorui immediately laughed, obviously not taking it seriously.

Of course, Wang Guorui can't turn his face with Yu Geng here, let alone because of a little girl's words?

"Director Yu Geng, who are these two little girls?" Wang Guorui asked.

And Lori, who was older, about twelve years old, immediately said: "My name is Yu Deling, and my sister's name is Yu Rongling." ”

"So it's Princess Deling?" Wang Guorui thought in his heart.

Of course, Wang Guorui had heard of the name Yu Deling, because this Yu Deling was later a famous foreign writer, and she was the daughter of Yu Geng, a Qing Dynasty official. According to the Manchu tradition, whenever a daughter is born, she must be registered as a candidate for the emperor's concubine. However, Yu Geng did not do this, he took the initiative to hide the birth of his daughter. But perhaps it is precisely because of this that his two daughters have achieved good results. Yu Deling was a later writer, and she was also a beauty. And his sister Yu Rongling is also a dancer, a disciple of the famous dancer Isadora Duncan, and the only Chinese student of Isadora Duncan.

"How did such a frustrated person give birth to two excellent daughters?" Wang Guorui looked at Yu Geng and thought helplessly.

"Miss Deling, Miss Rongling, what are you going to do in the future?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Governor Wang, I want to express my feelings for the world in words!" Deling said.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "It turns out that I want to be a writer, which is not bad!" ”

"Rong Ling, what about you?" Wang Guorui asked again.

"When I was in France, my governess told me that I had a talent for dancing. But now that my father has returned to China, I can't learn to dance anymore! Rong Ling said.

"In that case, I'm going to hire you a foreign dance teacher, what do you think?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Really, that's great! You're such a nice guy! Rong Ling said.

Wang Guorui was speechless, he was really a child, he seemed to regard Wang Guorui as a thief just now, and now he seems to be a good person again. And Yu Geng's face was dark, obviously very dissatisfied with Wang Guorui's help in deciding his daughter's future so much. But this is Wang Guorui's territory, and Yu Geng has no good way, so he can only drink silently.

"Enfu, you go and call your daughters Li Li and Li Sha in a few days, and go to exchange feelings with Mr. Yu Geng. Wouldn't it be nice to let your daughter play with his daughter? Wang Guorui said.

And Li Enfu asked with some surprise: "Why?" ”

"Have you not heard of the words of Madame Diplomacy? In the future, you will be mainly responsible for the exchanges between Taiwan and the mainland, and your main exchange object is this Yu Geng, and of course, the whole family will have to communicate. And of course your daughter should take advantage of this good opportunity to have a good relationship with Yu Geng's daughter. Anyway, they are all daughters, and they are not afraid of any problems. Wang Guorui said.

Li Enfu was speechless, Wang Guorui was actually going to play daughter diplomacy. Li Enfu had only heard of his wife's diplomacy, but it was the first time he had heard of his daughter's diplomacy, which made Li Enfu a little surprised. However, Li Enfu is also a foreign student, so he can understand this aspect very well.

As a family member of a diplomat, it is natural to have the whole family to be prepared to go into battle. The families of diplomats had to cooperate with the diplomats for a long time, and in later generations, the Chinese government also paid the salaries of the diplomats' wives, sons, and children, which was regarded as a special subsidy. After all, since they are the family members of diplomats, it is inevitable that they will also participate in diplomatic work together, so the state should give them additional subsidies. As for Wang Guorui's request, in fact, it is not an excessive request from a diplomatic point of view. Especially at the end of the 19th century, it was even more necessary to integrate with Westerners, and it was inevitable that diplomats' families would have to participate in foreign exchanges. Therefore, Wang Guorui took the initiative to let Li Enfu's family participate in foreign affairs, which is not something that cannot be understood, and Li Enfu does not feel that there is anything abnormal.

"Okay, Lord Wang, then I will definitely go into battle with the whole family, and then Li Li and Li Sha will go together to have a good relationship with Yu Geng's daughter!" Li Enfu said.

Wang Guorui thought to himself: "This Li Li and Li Sha will be raised for a few years, if I can let them be with De Ling and Rong Ling now, then I will be able to catch four mermaids at a time in one net!" ”

No one knows Wang Guorui's evil intentions, the reason why he let Li Li and Li Sha, the two mixed-race Loli, befriend De Ling and Rong Ling, is just to let them play together, so that it will be much easier for Wang Guorui to pick up girls in the future, so that they will not be separated from each other. At that time, Wang Guorui can make friends with four Loli at a time, so that it will not be separated in the future, what a waste of time!

Anyway, this Yu Deling and Yu Rong Ling will not only be beautiful women in the future, but also talented women, this is definitely something that cannot be missed. In line with the principle that there are many beautiful women, few talented women, and beautiful talented women are rare, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid you will regret it for the rest of your life.

And Yu Geng never dreamed that his two daughters would be targeted by Wang Guorui, a strange uncle. If he knew what kind of person Wang Guorui was, I am afraid that he would rather resign than come to Taiwan to take up a post. (To be continued......)
