7. Entering and exiting (1)
The woman known as "Ju Couple" smiled playfully, "The brothers have their own talents, why bother squeezing those university halls where tens of millions of people choose one?" If you enter, outsiders want to say that your father has done something inside, so it is better to be on an errand step by step. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Li Hongzhang smiled freely, "Your father and I, even if we want to go through the relationship and engage in tricks, what's the matter, what opinions do others have?" I, Li Hongzhang, want to promote my son, who won't let me? It's really ridiculous," Li Hongzhang's words were full of domineering, "I don't need to be my own people, do you leave the cheap to outsiders?" Fear and ridicule, but you can't help it. ”
It turned out that this was Li Hongzhang's daughter, Ju Couple put down the book, "You are hard-mouthed, if you are not worried and afraid, why do you want to enter Beijing again today." ”
Li Hongzhang smiled, "You, you, people don't say through it, you see through it and you have to say it, you really don't give your old father face at all." ”
"What are we doing with this between father and daughter," Ju Couple was obviously very generous, "I'm afraid that father, you are listening to good words now, and no one dares to say these unpleasant words, my brothers are timid, and I don't dare to mention them in front of you." ”
"There should be someone to say such a thing, it's just your father and me," Li Hongzhang looked out the window and slowly crossed the roadside scene, he couldn't help but look stupid, he hadn't entered Beijing for a few years, and there had been earth-shaking changes in the Beijing Division, and Li Hongzhang was a little unrecognizable, "Is there a time when the gossip I have heard over the years and the impeachment I have received?" ”
Ju Coupling stopped talking, she looked at her father with a trace of loneliness on his face, as soon as he entered the rivers and lakes, when he was in his early Chinese New Year's Eve, he went south to organize group exercises, all the way from the political envoy, to the governor of Shanghai to the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, and now to the governor of mountains and rivers. But it is not right to be a prosperous official, who has been in the position of governor for more than twenty years, and there is probably no minister who has served as governor for so long without being promoted or transferred to other positions.
Of course, this also has the meaning of Li Hongzhang's refusal, before the center intended to let Li Hongzhang enter Beijing to take over the post of secretary of the military department, but Li Hongzhang was not interested, so the excerpt hinted that he did not want to enter Beijing as an official, so it was delayed, he did not have any interest in the head of the six departments, if he wanted to enter Beijing, he must be pointed at the military aircraft department!
What's more, now he also has another thought, the father and daughter no one spoke for a while, after a while, the "Anhui Hall" arrived, here is built by Hui merchants, along the Mao'er Hutong, occupies half a street position, a slip of the horse's head wall is towering, white walls and black tiles, and the style of Beijing is very different, the chrysanthemum couple helped Li Hongzhang get out of the carriage, Li Hongzhang raised his head, looked at the plaque, the four words on the plaque, is Li Hongzhang's title, in the past he was a first-class person among the Anhui people, and now there are others up, There were already a lot of people standing at the door waiting for Li Hongzhang, seeing him get off the carriage, he hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, Li Hongzhang didn't put on a stand, nodded with a smile, and gossiped with a few acquaintances, then slowly walked into the hall, in the car is still very vigorous, to the bottom, in front of everyone, it looks very old, Rao is a daughter chrysanthemum couple, or walk very slowly, finally arrived at the flower hall, sat down and gasped, "Old man, useless, this time into Beijing, I think I'm almost ready to beg for bones. ”
The beggar bones are about to say goodbye to the old man and return to his hometown, and the head of the Ministry of Rites said with a smile, "How old is the old man now?" Among the important ministers of this dynasty, which one is not seventy or eighty years old? Xisheng relies on the boss a lot, and always has to let the boss work for twenty years before he is willing to let you go home to rest. ”
Li Hongzhang smiled slightly, and did not deny that he was consciously qualified to come in to accompany some officials from Anhui on the stage, of course, the grade was not too high, and he couldn't say anything intimate, Li Hongzhang didn't put on a show, his face was calm and calm, and he said a word, and suddenly there was a burst of friendship outside, and several officials who accompanied each other looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, or Li Hongzhang's personal entourage quietly slipped out, and came in after a while to say, "It's the day after tomorrow in the garden that called the Sixi class singing hall today, said that it was for the old man to catch the wind and wash the dust. ”
Chang Sui's face looked a little strange, and Li Hongzhang raised his eyebrows, "Why are you so polite to entertain fellow countrymen?" Although I am an official in other places, who is from Anhui in the end? The old man went to thank him. ”
"Yes, it's Lord Hu."
"Lord Hu?" Li Hongzhang saw the constipated expression on Changsui's face, "Could it be Hu Xueyan?" ”
"Yes."
There was no sound in the flower hall, "Since ancient times, there will be no good meetings, no good banquets, and this Hu Xueyan will actually arrange a drama for me," Li Hongzhang said slowly, "This is really rare, but I don't know, what kind of play did he Hu Caishen arrange for the old man to watch?" ”
Li Hongzhang's tone was leisurely, but dense sweat suddenly appeared on the foreheads of the people in the flower hall, Li Hongzhang's daughter, at this time, had retreated into the back hall, but she was still listening to the movement here, she knew that her father, the more leisurely he usually spoke, the more angry he was, and he was already furious in his heart, so he quietly stood behind the screen and listened quietly, "One is to go to the wheat city, and the other is to burn the company camp." ”
After the long trembling finished speaking, he lowered his head, no one spoke in the flower hall, only the sound of the big guy's rough breathing, going to Maicheng is to say that Guan Gong is cornered, the army was defeated Maicheng was killed by Xiaoxiao, and the company camp was burned, it was said that Liu Bei was aggressive and asked about the death of Guan Gong in Eastern Wu, but was burned by Lu Xun The fiasco of all the armies, the officialdom is the most superstitious, and the most taboo is these unlucky dramas, the church will never sing these, I didn't expect Hu Xueyan to slap his face nakedly! "Okay," Li Hongzhang snorted coldly, his originally very indifferent expression suddenly became gloomy, and everyone present stood up, waiting for Li Hongzhang to be furious, "Now more and more people look down on the old man!" ”
"Father," Li Ju walked out of the back hall, "where does my daughter live?" I don't know yet. (To be continued.) )
