The strong man who saved Wu Chaoyue was very experienced in equestrianism. Seeing Wu Chaoyue sitting behind the horse, he was afraid that the horse would be frightened and kicked it, so he kicked Wu Chaoyue's donkey horse, and quickly lifted Wu Chaoyue's donkey horse to the side, and then pulled Wu Chaoyue aside and asked kindly, "Little brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that my butt hurts a little." Wu Chaoyue replied moaning, struggling to stand up with the help of the strong man, and then thanked the strong man: "Thank you, brother, if it weren't for you, I would be miserable today."

"Haha, a small matter, what are you saying thank you?"

The strong man smiled and waved his hand, and asked curiously why Wu Chaoyue's horse was out of control. When Wu Chaoyue quickly introduced the situation, Li Hongzhang, Wu Dasai and others had arrived at the scene. The chicken dealers who were knocked over by Wu Chaoyue at the entrance of the village also ran over and accused Wu Chaoyue of why he didn't have eyes when walking. He couldn't wait to ask Wu Chaoyue to compensate them for money.

Wu Chaoyue, who was in the wrong, had no choice but to apologize while taking out the broken silver to compensate them for their losses. Who would have thought that the strong man who saved people held Wu Chaoyue and shouted at the chicken dealers: "No need for his money. He will not ride a horse and can't stop shocking the horse. Didn't you deliberately hit you, and you have nothing to do, so you don't want him to blush?"

The strong man seemed to have great prestige in this village. He spoke out that the chicken sellers were not allowed to blackmail Wu Chaoyue's money. The villagers who came to see the fun all helped him. They all said that Wu Chaoyue did this without intention and did not hurt the chicken sellers. Those chicken sellers even asked Wu Chaoyue to compensate for the money. In the end, the chicken sellers did not dare to inflict public anger. They could only accept Wu Chaoyue's apology obediently and carry the chickens and ducks purchased in the village to leave.

After such a struggle, Wu Chaoyue was of course a big fan of the warm-hearted strong man in ancient Taoism. When he was about to thank the strong man again, he never thought that a cute little girl with two ponytails ran out of the crowd. He asked Wu Chaoyue in surprise: "Big brother, why are you? Why are you here?"

"It's you?" Wu Chaoyue's eyes lit up. It turned out that this short-haired girl was nothing else. It happened to be that cute girl Wu Chaoyue helped Senggelinqin's brother-in-law restaurant a few days ago. The exact name should be cute little Luoli.

"Daughter, do you know this little brother?"

What Wu Chaoyue didn't expect was that the strong man who saved him without eyes actually happened to be the father of the cute little Luoli. After the little Luoli introduced that Wu Chaoyue was the good man who helped her in a restaurant in the capital, the strong man immediately laughed happily and patted Wu Chaoyue's shoulder and said, "Good brother, I didn't expect that we are destined to be destined to go quickly and go to my house to drink. I want to thank you in person. If it weren't for your help in the capital last time, my daughter would have been wronged. Brother, I have to thank you very much!"

Wu Chaoyue quickly was modest and said that he should thank the strong man, but the strong man was too lazy to be polite to Wu Chaoyue, and forced Wu Chaoyue to leave. The lively little Luoli also followed him and kept asking why Wu Chaoyue came to her village. When he learned that Wu Chaoyue and Li Hongzhang wanted to eat wild game, the little Luoli immediately volunteered to go and pick up a few hares to serve Wu Chaoyue. In the end, her father stopped her and said that there were still a few dried hares at home to cook, and the lively little Luoli was born peacefully.

After being forced to be pulled to their home by the overly enthusiastic father and daughter, Wu Chaoyue realized that he wanted to buy Xiao Luoli to be a maid, because although Xiao Luoli's family was not a rich family, it was definitely considered a food and clothing level in this era. At the same time, the strong man had only a daughter like Xiao Luoli. Needless to ask, he knew that he would never sell his daughter. Wu Chaoyue had to die completely and honestly called his brother and brother to the strong man.

It was also when the strong man arranged his wife to prepare wine and vegetables. Wu Chaoyue, who had already sat on the kang, took the opportunity to ask about the strong man's name and identity. The strong man replied truthfully: "I dare not be the name of Gao. Feng Sanbao is the land guard of this village. He usually works in farming and goes to the mountains to hunt when he has time to earn some scattered silver to support his family."

After introducing his name and identity, Feng Sanbao also sat down on the kang and asked Wu Chaoyue curiously: "Brother, I heard from my daughter that you seem to be from Prince Gong's Mansion. What are you doing at Prince Gong's Mansion? Is it what the people in the city said about coating?"

"Of course not." Wu Chaoyue, who hated the coat slave, quickly shook his head and denied it, and said with a smile: "They all misunderstood that day. In fact, I just knew Prince Gong, so I mentioned Prince Gong's name casually, but unexpectedly scared them. I was working as a servant in the Ministry of Rites."

"Ministry of Rites?" Feng Sanbao seemed to know the difference between the government offices in the capital, and asked in surprise: "Brother, what are you talking about in the Ministry of Rites? Could it be that the Ministry of Rites that the scholars take the top scorer in the exam?"

Wu Chaoyue nodded with a smile, and Wu Dasai, who was serving the marquis, also stood up to pretend to be a tiger's power and said, "Feng Zhuangshi, my young master Sun is not only an official in the Ministry of Rites, but also a sixth-rank chief of the Ministry of Rites!"

"My mother!" Feng Sanbao shouted exaggeratedly, and grabbed Wu Chaoyue's thin hand and said excitedly: "It turns out that my brothers are not only officials, but also officials who specialize in Wenquxing. What I, Feng Sanbao, respect most in my life is a scholar who is knowledgeable. It is an honor for me, Feng Sanbao, to be a guest at my house!"

Wu Chaoyue, who couldn't even write a few traditional Chinese characters, smiled bitterly, and Feng Sanbao held Wu Chaoyue's hands and shook them constantly, praising Wu Chaoyue without any tricks. As expected, Xiao Luoli brought tea over and thought that his father's hand blocked the table, and complained: "Dad, can you let go? I have no place to put a teacup. If I knocked the teacup over, will I scold you or me?"

"Little girl, you are not big or young, even your father dares to scold you?" Feng Sanbao was dissatisfied and criticized his daughter, and scolded her: "Dad is respecting a scholar with knowledge. If you can marry such a scholar who is so knowledgeable that he is an official in the Ministry of Rites in the future, your father will be able to wake up in a laugh in his dream!"

Although his personality is lively and cheerful, when he heard such words, the cute little Luoli blushed suddenly. Wu Chaoyue, who was indeed not ink in his belly, was also a little embarrassed. Who would have thought that Li Hongzhang next to him would take the blame and said with a smile: "Weiting, Feng Zhuangshi looks down on you so much, and you have not been engaged. So just take this opportunity to propose to Feng Zhuangman."

Xiao Luoli's face turned redder, Wu Chaoyue became even more embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Shaoquan, don't make such jokes."

"Who is kidding?" Li Hongzhang said with a wicked smile: "You forgot that when your grandfather left the capital, he told me that I would like to urge you to find a wife and pass on your Wu family's family. You are not much different from this girl, and you are so destined to be so destined to match you."

After saying that, Li Hongzhang, who was young, was praised by Zeng Guofan for his favorite to attract attention, also proved with facts that Zeng Guofan looked at people as good as possible, and actually said to Feng Sanbao: "Feng Zhuangshi, how about thinking about it? My brother's origin is not simple. His teacher is the 70th generation grandson of Zengzi and Zeng Sheng. He has ink in his belly. His grandfather is also an official of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention the conditions at home, he bought a hundred Xiezhuang silver and was rich. What's even rarer is that my brother is a good character, and he doesn't have to gamble or smoke smoke. He has been in the capital for so long, and he doesn't even know where the door of the Eight Great Hutongs will open. If you agree, your daughter will be blessed immediately."

Hearing this, Xiao Luoli was so embarrassed that she had already left her legs. Wu Chaoyue couldn't even slam Li Hongzhang's mouth, and finally couldn't help but blush and shy. What surprised Wu Chaoyue was that after hearing Li Hongzhang's joke, Feng Sanbao was not only not angry, but on the contrary, he looked at Wu Chaoyue carefully, but never said a word. Wu Chaoyue's heart was shaken and he thought to himself: "Is there really a way?"

If it weren't for what happened next, Wu Chaoyue might have to make a marriage with a cute little Luoli who has great potential, because Feng Sanbao not only has a good impression of Wu Chaoyue, but also has a very jealousy of Wu Chaoyue's origin - he doesn't like Wu Chaoyue's appearance. But even Wu Chaoyue's background was not clear, Feng Sanbao certainly did not dare to give his daughter out easily, and soon said, "This young master is really good at joking. Young Master Weiting's good conditions, will he look down on me, a naughty daughter? I will talk about this later, and I will talk about it later."

"Let's talk about it later?" Wu Chaoyue's heart moved, and immediately realized that Feng Sanbao had no intention of flatly rejecting it. Li Hongzhang kept winking at Wu Chaoyue, indicating that there was still a way to do this.

At this time, Feng Sanbao asked Wu Chaoyue again: "By the way, Mr. Weiting, look at me as a rough man, I haven't even asked your name Gao's name..."

"I dare not take the name of Gao's surname. Wu Chaoyue is my name." Wu Chaoyue quickly introduced himself, pointed to Li Hongzhang and said, "He is Li Hongzhang, and his courtesy name is Shaoquan. He is my senior brother of the same school, in Hanlin..."

Before Wu Chaoyue finished speaking, Feng Sanbao's face changed, and he interrupted Wu Chaoyue and said, "Wait! Wu Chaoyue? Are you the one who went to Dagukou to negotiate with the foreigners? The one who paid 200,000 taels of silver from the court to the foreigners?"

Unexpectedly, he was so famous in Xiezhuang, so Wu Chaoyue had to bite the bullet and nodded to admit it, and then quickly defended himself: "It was not me who signed the contract to pay the money, but Prince Gong. I just acted as a general interpreter for Prince Gong and helped him negotiate with foreigners."

It was useless to defend himself, Feng Sanbao got off the kang directly and said with a very ugly expression: "I heard that foreigners came to Dagukou this time, and they were also recruited by you and your grandfather Wu Jianchang."

"It's not me and my grandfather, it's Weng Xincun and his son." Wu Chaoyue quickly continued to defend himself, "Weng Xincun and his son are doing things wrong in Shanghai, and they framed and prevented foreigners from entering the city. The foreigners got angry and drove the warship to Dagukou..."

"Stop!" Feng Sanbao was angry and shouted: "Get out of here! I don't welcome you, a traitor!"

The scene was even more awkward than before. When Feng Sanbao heard Feng's yelling, Feng's wife and the cute little Luoli, who were cooking, were so shocked that they rushed to find out what happened - why were they going to talk about marriage just now, and then they suddenly turned against each other again? Feng Sanbao pointed at Wu Chaoyue and yelled at his wife and daughter, saying that Wu Chaoyue was the notorious little traitor Wu Xiao comprador, and Wu Chaoyue explained sweatingly, saying that the real fuse of this matter was Weng Xincun and his son, and asked Li Hongzhang to prove that if he had not argued during the Dagukou negotiations, the court would have to pay more money. However, Feng Sanbao, who was jealous of evil, was preconceived by the folk rumors. Not only did he not listen to the explanations of Wu Chaoyue and Li Hongzhang, he also rolled up his sleeves and clenched his fists and angrily: "Do you get out? If you don't get out, I will throw you out!"

After looking at Feng Sanbao's fist that was bigger than the jar, Wu Chaoyue and Li Hongzhang both swallowed quietly, and finally had to get out of the kang obediently and leave with a shameless look. After walking out of Feng Sanbao's courtyard gate, Wu Chaoyue also heard Feng Sanbao yell in the room, "Come and get water right away and wash our kang three times! Dirty! Stinky! Dirty!"

Although he was kicked out so rudely by Feng Sanbao, Wu Chaoyue and Li Hongzhang did not mean to hate Feng Sanbao. On the contrary, they admire Feng Sanbao from the bottom of their hearts for his hatred of evil and not fearing the powerful. So on the way to Xiezhuang, Li Hongzhang also smiled bitterly to Wu Chaoyue: "Weiting, when I was in Dagukou, I was still jealous of you as well as yours and showed off. But now it seems that I should be glad that I was unable to show off like you at that time, and did not make people remember my name, otherwise I would not dare to come to Xiezhuang to eat wild game again in the future."

"Wait, you can't escape!" Wu Chaoyue gritted his teeth and said from the bottom of his heart: "If you Shaoquan still want to continue to live in the officialdom and want to be promoted and given a title, you can't escape such a thing! The promising work of a papermaker is waiting for you in the future!"

Of course, Li Hongzhang of this era did not know that the word "Paper Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting Crafting

Wu Chaoyue stood up in confusion and turned around, but saw Feng Sanbao's cute Luo Li's daughter running directly to him, stretching out her hand to reveal a few pieces of silver, and saying, "Wu Chaoyue, my father asked me to bring it back to you, my family doesn't need your silver."

"Little sister, why don't you even believe me?" Wu Chaoyue wailed and said, "I am really innocent. Foreigners came to Dagukou because of me. I didn't pay the 200,000 taels of silver from the court. If it weren't for me at that time, the court would definitely have paid more money! You have to believe me!"

Because she had received help from Wu Chaoyue, Xiao Luoli had no particularly bad impression of Wu Chaoyue and said frankly: "I want to believe you, but the villagers say that you did it. How can you trust you if you tell me?"

"Then what should I do, you will believe me?" Wu Chaoyue asked with a wry smile.

The little Luoli hesitated and thought for a moment before saying, "If you can do some good things and let me know that you are a good person, then I will believe you. But now, I will give you the money first. My father is very popular and I am not allowed to ask for your money."

After saying that, the little Luoli gave the silver to Wu Chaoyue. Wu Chaoyue could not help but take back the silver he had given to Xiao Luoli to buy clothes and red headbands, and gritted his teeth and said, "Little sister, okay, just wait. One day, I will prove to you that I didn't lie to you! I will let you know that I did those things for the good of you innocent people!"

Seeing that Wu Chaoyue was speaking seriously, Xiao Luoli nodded and said, "Brother Wu, I'm leaving. Thank you for the last time when I was in the restaurant. My name is Feng Wanzhen, I will remember you."

The silver in Wu Chaoyue's hand slid to the ground, and his face was shocked. He stared at the little Luoli as if he was in a state of meditation. The little Luoli was a little embarrassed by Wu Chaoyue's eyes. He quickly said, "I'll leave, then turned around and ran to the village. Wu Chaoyue also came to his senses this time and said loudly: "Little Sister Wanzhen, you must wait for me. When I prove that I didn't lie to you, I will definitely come to you. You can wait for me!"

Hearing this, Feng Wanzhen, who is still just Xiao Luoli, of course, her face turned red, and she ran faster, and her heart began to accelerate a little, and she said to herself: "Why is this person like this? She shouted so loudly at the entrance of the village, what should I do if someone misunderstood? The villagers are not allowed to laugh at me for this? Maybe my father was right, this person is not a good person."

At this time, Li Hongzhang next to him also asked in surprise: "Weiting, no, what you mean, are you really interested in her? You really want to marry her?"

"Don't get me wrong." Wu Chaoyue shook his head and said, "I just feel a little cowardly. I'm just a little bit cowardly. I'm so cute that I misunderstood me like this, so I said a few more words to her, it's no other meaning. Besides, she's so young, don't make fun of her if you joke."

Seeing that Wu Chaoyue was serious, Li Hongzhang believed it, but after refuting Li Hongzhang righteously, Wu Chaoyue thought about it quietly, "But, looking at the appearance of this little Feng Wanzhen, it will definitely be more beautiful than what the textbook says in a few years. Maybe it is better than the Zhou Xiuying I was in Shanghai. I will wait for her to grow up in a few years, but I can't consider it."

After thinking about this, Wu Chaoyue couldn't help but miss Shanghai again, and Zhou Xiuying, who almost legally rolled off the bed sheet with him. "If you get a drop of favor, you will be rewarded. The little girl helped me last time, but I haven't repayed her yet. When I have the opportunity to return to Shanghai, are I considering suffering some losses and marrying her?"

The matter of this day was not over. I was thinking about how to make Xiao Feng Wanzhen and Feng Sanbao believe that they were innocent and were criticized, and whether they were wronged to marry Zhou Xiuying into the house. Wu Chaoyue had no intention of continuing to visit the scenery of the Old Summer Palace and went straight back to the capital with Li Hongzhang.

When they arrived in the capital, Wu Chaoyue and Li Hongzhang, who had been struggling for more than a day, were of course hungry and tired, so they went straight to the restaurant under the Dashilan. However, when they were raising their glasses, Li Hongzhang suddenly made a silent gesture to Wu Chaoyue, and then listened to the movements of the next room. Wu Chaoyue was inexplicably and listened carefully, but when he heard someone next door talking about Sushun, saying that Sushun had just returned to the capital today, and the front door was immediately filled with officials queuing up to meet him.

After listening for a long time, Wu Chaoyue asked Li Hongzhang strangely: "Shaoquan, what's wrong? Why do you care so much about Lord Su?"

"Who doesn't care about him in the capital?" Li Hongzhang gave Wu Chaoyue a blank look and said, "You are still an official in the capital. Even Master Su is not aware of the status of the emperor. The number one celebrity in front of the emperor! The emperor's favor for him is still in the military department's major halls! Whoever holds his thighs will be waiting for promotion and wealth!"

"Is Sushun so powerful?" Wu Chaoyue said with some confusion, "Don't you think? When I came into contact with him in Shanghai, I felt that he was just kind to others and had no airs. I didn't think he was anything great?"

"Lord Su treats people kindly and has no airs?"

Li Hongzhang listened to the alien language and quickly inquired about the contact between Wu Chaoyue and Sushun. Wu Chaoyue had no reservations about Li Hongzhang. He truthfully told his several contacts with Sushun in Shanghai. He also said that Sushun was because he respected Lin Zexu's special care for his family. He even said frankly that his comprador grandfather had invested a lot of money on Sushun. The more Li Hongzhang heard it, he became more and more stunned. He suddenly grabbed Wu Chaoyue's hand and whispered: "Weiting, this is a good opportunity. Since Lord Su looked at your Wu family with a high look and just came back from Shanghai, why don't you seize this opportunity to visit him quickly and try to hold his thighs firmly and firmly?!"

"Not interested." Wu Chaoyue rolled his eyes and said, "You know, I don't want to be this official, so I'm not interested in these things."

"You are not interested, I have it! You don't want this opportunity, I want it!" Li Hongzhang was so angry that he wanted to strangle Wu Chaoyue to death, so he simply pulled Wu Chaoyue's hand and shook it, saying, "Weiting, we are good brothers. The whole capital city, you have the best relationship with me. You have to help me in this matter no matter what, take me to see Lord Su, I beg you!"

"Didn't I take you to see Prince Gong last time?" Wu Chaoyue said angrily: "I don't hold Prince Gong's thighs enough, and I want to hug Lord Su's thighs?"

"What do I think of holding Prince Gong's thigh? Prince Gong did not ask me to pass the disciple's letter or promote me vigorously. I mean I was holding his thigh?" Li Hongzhang cried and whispered: "Weiting, Prince Gong has no real power now. Even if he really hugged his thigh tightly, it would not work much. Lord Su is different. He is the number one popular person in front of the emperor. The emperor obeys his words. If he looks up to me, I will have a chance to become a success! So Weiting, you have to help me in this matter no matter what, you must help!"
