Chapter 154: Cunning Yuan Shikai
The life and deeds of Yuan Shikai Li Qingzhu are more read from books, and it is not the category of official history, but he reads it from textbooks and adds some hearsay descriptions to form the image of Yuan Shikai in his impression.
As he grew older, he began to realize that perhaps the characters he had fixed in his mind were not what he had imagined.
Even if he had such considerations, he was still very surprised when he really saw Yuan Shikai.
The uncle in front of him, who was a little generous and smiled more like an ordinary neighbor, could hardly associate him with a big warlord.
The only thing that impressed Li Qingzhu was his two big beards, which were too representative.
"Li Qingzhu? Good name, as soon as I heard the name of Mr. Itabashi, a picture of Mr. Itabashi's "Orchid Bamboo Map" popped up in my mind. ”
Yuan Shikai did not look down on Li Qingzhu at all because he was young, but was unusually enthusiastic about him.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that the sentence that Li Qingzhu mentioned Zhang Zuolin just now was enough to make Yuan Shikai attach so much importance to him.
Zhang Zuolin frowned slightly, this action was slightly invisible, he saw that Yuan Shikai was so eager for Li Qingzhu, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, he probably guessed Yuan Shikai's plan.
It's just that although he also has confidence in Li Qingzhu, he also wants to see what he will do, not to mention that it is not an appropriate time to speak out now, so he chose to wait and see.
After listening to Yuan Shikai's praise, Li Qingzhu smiled at Yuan Shikai in a very plain but polite manner: "Yuan Gong praised it, the name of Qingzhu is extremely ordinary. However, a smooth name should not be praised by Yuan Gong like this. ”
Yuan Shikai waved his hand disapprovingly and smiled: "Sir, don't be too humble. At first glance, the gentleman is a talented man. ”
"Brother Yuting, this is the first time I have come to your mansion. Could you please let Mr. Qingzhu accompany me for a more walk? ”
Yuan Shikai said this politely at all, the smile on his face seemed to be very kind, and he even narrowed his eyes when he smiled.
But even so, Zhang Zuolin could still feel a vicious aura coming out of his squinted eyes, which was a dangerous aura.
Zhang Zuolin squinted his eyes slightly, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he looked at Li Qingzhu and said, "Mr. Li, it's rare for Yuan Gong to be so elegant, if you don't accompany Yuan Gong." Tell him what is special about my house. ”
Li Qingzhu couldn't help but shake his head in his heart, you are relaxed, and you directly threw Yuan Shikai to me.
Although he thinks so, Li Qingzhu actually didn't complain about Zhang Zuolin, in fact, this result is the most haode, if Zhang Zuolin and Yuan Shikai get along alone, he is not at ease.
And even if it is such a monotonous four-person companion, if Li Qingzhu wants to interject, it will be really troublesome. Now that he accompanies Yuan Shikai alone, it is more convenient to speak.
"If Yuan Gong doesn't mind, then it will be overstepped."
Zhang Zuolin is the master of this room, and this kind of thing should be done by him. Li Qingzhu is just a gentleman, and it is inevitable that he will overstep it. Yuan Shikai put Zhang Zuolin and Li Qingzhu into it as soon as he said it, if the relationship between the two was not so good. I'm afraid that there will be a gap because of this, which shows how complicated the mind of this big head is.
Of course. Yuan Shikai's purpose is not only this, he also wants to see what the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and Li Qingzhu is. Is it possible to draw Li Qingzhu to his side.
Li Qingzhu directly ignored these careful thoughts, the relationship between him and Zhang Zuolin was not so fragile, but it just made Yuan Shikai achieve one of the goals that made Li Qingzhu feel a little unhappy.
He didn't expect that within a few minutes of meeting Yuan Shikai, he was put on a table by him after a few words.
At the same time, there is also a sense of vigilance in my heart, and I think that none of these politicians are fuel-efficient lamps.
Zhang Zuolin asked Li Qingzhu to take Yuan Shikai to visit his mansion, and Yuan Shikai also directly took his son to follow Li Qingzhu behind, and he seemed very respectful between words and actions.
But the more he was like this, the higher Li Qingzhu's vigilance in his heart became.
"Sir, I don't know how expensive you are this year?"
On the way, Yuan Shikai talked with Li Qingzhu like an ordinary friend.
"Yuan Gong, Qingzhu is sixty in twenty this year, and he deserves the title of Mr. Yuan Gong." Li Qingzhu responded politely,
"Eh, sir's words are wrong, those who often hear about it are the first, Mr. can serve in the Yuting Brother's Mansion, there must be something outstanding, and please don't be too modest."
Yuan Shikai insisted on exalting Li Qingzhu's status, but Li Qingzhu knew that his purpose in doing this was nothing more than to praise him and then work hard for him.
And if Li Qingzhu never eats his set, he is more interested, because people with strong minds are more able to entrust them with important tasks.
"Gong Yuan, let's put these things aside for the time being, let me introduce you to some of the unique features of the Great Marshal's Mansion."
Li Qingzhu saw that the cheeks of this big head were too thick, and the positions of the two of them were not equal, so he had to change the topic, lest Yuan Shikai always worry about this matter.
Yuan Shikai saw that he deliberately changed the topic, so he didn't chase after him anymore, and he followed Li Qingzhu's words and responded.
is a little patient and forward-looking, just for this approach, Li Qingzhu has a higher opinion of Yuan Shikai in his heart.
Zhang Zuolin's mansion has a very special place, that is, he completely combines the office and the residence, so the whole mansion is very large.
Li Qingzhu took Yuan Shikai to visit Zhang Zuolin's office, and his residence was a private place, Li Qingzhu would not be stupid enough to take Yuan Shikai to visit Zhang Zuolin's family.
Zhang Zuolin doesn't have a lot of office time on weekdays, he sends Zhang Xueliang to work for himself, and he also uses the name of exercising his son's ability.
Zhang Xueliang is used to enjoyment, so he decorates the entire courtyard and room very comfortably, so that he can relax when he is working.
Zhang Xueliang's arrangement is ingenious, no matter who sees it, they will feel relaxed and happy, even Yuan Shikai is no exception.
"Brother Yuting is really a blessing, this courtyard is really comfortable."
Yuan Shikai couldn't help but admire, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
"Hehe, Yuan Gong, the decoration of these plants and objects is arranged by the young marshal."
"Oh? But Brother Yuting's son-in-law? Yuan Shikai asked curiously,
"Exactly."
Li Qingzhu's affirmation made Yuan Shikai sigh with emotion, and talked about his son.
I saw that he said to the young man next to him with some hatred: "Yuntai, look at you, and then look at the Grand Duke of the Zhang family, what do you say you will do on weekdays besides reading?" ”
"Father taught me a lesson."
Yuan Yuntai, that is, Yuan Shikai's eldest son Yuan Keding, was not angry when he was educated by his father, and bowed and accepted the blame with a humble face.
"Let Qingzhu see a smile."
Yuan Shikai said to Li Qingzhu with an embarrassed face, Li Qingzhu shook his head with a smile and said, "It's okay." ”
At the same time, he paid a little attention to Yuan Keding, it was really not simple for this young man to have such a city.
Moreover, Yuan Shikai's previous sentence seemed to blame his son, but he was actually mocking Zhang Xueliang, who didn't study on weekdays, and only thought about these crooked ways.
It's just that I don't know what his purpose is in saying bad things about Zhang Zuolin's son in front of him.
Now Li Qingzhu is frightened by this Yuan Datou, no matter what he says or does, Li Qingzhu feels that he has another meaning.
At this moment, a crackling sound came, and at first glance it sounded like something had fallen to the ground, but if you listened closely, you could see that it was actually the sound of a fight.
Yuan Keding is more familiar with this kind of thing, and he often moves his fists and feet on weekdays.
"Father, someone did it."
Yuan Keding whispered beside Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai nodded, indicating understanding, and because the voice continued to come, and there was no sound of cheering, it can be seen that someone is competing.
So Yuan Shikai said to Li Qingzhu with a smile: "I can't imagine that there are still masters in Brother Yuting's mansion?" Mr. Aotake, why don't you take us to see it? (To be continued......)
