Xuan Yuemeng turned around Xuan Hongtao, held his chin with his hands, and nodded, "It's quite annoying to wear this official uniform. Okay, I'll take you to make two suits now. Please read the book W÷ｗ∫Ｗ∮.∫ＱingＫanＳhu．cＣ"

Xuan Yuemeng didn't care whether Xuan Hongtao agreed or not, so she said to Timothy Li in English: "My father wants to make a suit, please accompany us, and then I will help you think of ways to help you integrate into Chinese society as soon as possible."

Of course, Timothy Li agreed happily, and Xuan Hongtao shook his hand repeatedly, "What did you say to the foreign devils? I don't make suits, what does the foreign devils look like? When I see them later, I thought I had a bandit."

Xuan Yuemeng was very angry, "Can you be more polite in your words? What are you just a bandit? Then didn't Li Zhongtang ask more foreign technicians to go to Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau? If you are foreigners, you will all be a bandit? This Mr. Timothy is my friend, not a bandit, and he is not a soldier."

No matter what Xuan Yuemeng said, Xuan Hongtao just refused.

Xuan Yuemeng had to use her trump card and first retreat to advance. "If you don't want to, don't want to. Then I'll take my foreign friend to our house for dinner tonight, so you can arrange it."

Xuan Hongtao thought about it and brought foreigners to his house for dinner. He carried Xuan Yuemeng aside, "That's not OK. If someone sees it, what will it become? I am an official, how can I have dinner with foreigners in private? And you will take your family? Your grandfather wouldn't agree. Moreover, you saw a person from the Qing Dynasty who had been with foreigners all day long? In the future, you will not come to this concession. Foreigners have no good things, you are still too young, you don't understand."

Xuan Yuemeng sighed secretly. It seems that many things are simple as he thinks. To change people's thoughts is definitely a very profound knowledge. "This is not possible, that is not possible. Then you can be a sixth-rank official who lives a life of silly life! Didn't you tell me the day before yesterday that you want to sit firmly under Li Zhongtang's hands? If you don't act anything, you will only fire empty guns."

Xuan Hongtao was a little moved by Xuan Yuemeng's words, but he still refused to give up his prejudice against foreigners. "I won't tell you anymore, I'll leave first, Dali, have you heard that you took the young master home earlier?"

Dali hurriedly agreed, "Yes."

Xuan Yuemeng said dissatisfiedly: "Let's go, let's go, the ceiling is so scattered at home, and it's all changed when it comes out. Just now, give me some of the marks, I'll have some money on me."

Xuan Hongtao smiled and pulled out a ten mark and put it in Xuan Yuemeng's small pocket, "A child of such a small age can spend money and do business."

Looking at the departure of the carriage Xuan Hongtao was riding, Xuan Yuemeng sighed. It was too difficult. It would be great if he could decide what he had the final say.

Timothy Lee: "Mr. Yuemeng, didn't you just say that your father wants to make a suit?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled bitterly and had an idea again, "He is embarrassed to wear your foreign clothes. In this way, my father's figure is similar to yours, so I will customize a set according to your size. ∫ Please read the book W÷ｗ∫Ｗ∮.QingKanShu．cC”

Timothy Li could understand Xuan Yuemeng's meaning, and it was easy to help with this, so he naturally agreed.

Xuan Yuemeng saw that Li Timothy's clothes were old: "Mr. Timothy, I'll take the liberty to ask, do you want a newer suit? Since we are friends, I want to give you a set of clothes."

Timothy Lee smiled and said, "We Europeans have no men who give clothes to men. Only men and women only give clothes as gifts. Besides, in the words of you Chinese, I will not receive any reward without merit."

Xuan Yuemeng laughed: "Don't you understand the worldly style of China? You are in China now. If you want to live well in China, you have to get used to the Chinese customs. Don't be polite. Besides, you are not unfair to receive the rewards. Don't I still need to learn English from you?"

Timothy Li said embarrassedly, "This cannot be counted. You learn English from me, and I also learn Chinese from you, which is offset."

Xuan Yuemeng waved her hand, "No, no, no, you know one more than me, don't you know German? I only teach you one, but you teach me two, so I should still give you a gift. Moreover, you accompany me to exchange for foreign exchange today. I took up your time and should express my gratitude to you. I will accompany you to make a set of our Chinese robe later, so that you can wear it like a Chinese in the future. If you wear Chinese clothing and come into contact with Chinese people, it will increase the Chinese people's favor for you."

Timothy Li was grateful for Xuan Yuemeng's thoughtfulness and his favorability towards Xuan Yuemeng increased a little. "Thank you, Mr. Yuemeng, I didn't expect that my first friend to come to China was actually a child. Your concept is very close to us Westerners. I feel that I can talk to you very much."

Xuan Yuemeng stretched out a finger and shook it, "Mr. Timothy, I will correct a problem for you. If you think I am your friend, don't treat me as a child. I hope you treat me as a career partner. I still hope you can seriously consider my request."

Timothy Li curiously said, "Mr. Yuemeng, do you still want to hire me? What are your specific ideas?"

Xuan Yuemeng: "I have a channel to know about the Chinese imperial court, but people in the Chinese officialdom are not suitable for doing business directly. So, I want to open a foreign company and hire you as my manager. I will give you one percent of the shares. You are the shareholder of this foreign company. At that time, I will say that you are the boss. I will also give you a basic salary every month. Compared with the wages of compradors of other foreign companies, I will also pay you a commission of 10% per order. If our foreign company exhibition is good, you can quickly bring your wife and daughter to China. Please read ∮Ω Book Ｗｗ∮�Ω.∫ＱingＫanＳhu．cＣ”

Timothy Li was almost shocked. He thought Xuan Yuemeng was much smarter than ordinary children, but judging from what Xuan Yuemeng said to him, there was no way to explain a child with cleverness. He was simply a monster-like child? Timothy Li was sure that even Xuan Yuemeng's father in his thirties was far worse than Xuan Yuemeng. Timothy Li not only felt that Xuan Yuemeng said he wanted to hire him, but it seemed that this matter was really possible.

Seeing that Timothy Li was still not speaking, Xuan Yuemeng seemed to be hesitating, and was thinking with her brows locked, and couldn't help but smile: "Mr. Timothy Li, you can find many bosses, and I can also find people like you, but I think it's difficult for you to find a boss who is more generous than me, and it's difficult for me to find a European who is more real than you. If you have a family in your heart, it proves that you are not a person without friendship. What we Chinese people pay most attention to is the word "kindness", so I officially propose to you now."

Timothy thought for a long time before saying, "Although this is strange, Mr. Xuan Yuemeng, don't forget that you are a Chinese. If you want to start a foreign business, you are not qualified at all. The nationality of the British Empire is not easy to obtain."

Xuan Yuemeng said oh, very happy. The reason why Timothy Li could say this proves that he had seriously considered helping him open a foreign company. "The nationality of Britain is not easy, so just Germany. If Germany wins this time in the Franco-Prussian War, it will definitely re-count the household registration information? Wouldn't it be easy to do it then?"

Timothy Li was stunned and said for a long time: "Maybe, you really should be the boss. You are born to be the boss."

This sentence from Timothy Li enjoyed Xuan Yuemeng very much. He had never been a team leader in Dalian since he was a child, so it was really hard to realize that he had management talent.

Xuan Yuemeng and Li Timothy bought a suit. Xuan Yuemeng also took Li Timothy to get a robe. Then the two of them discussed how to get Xuan Yuemeng a German nationality. Li Timothy told Xuan Yuemeng that when he came to China, he came with a German nobleman. Later that man died in China. Now Xuan Yuemeng wants to apply for German household registration. It can be said that Xuan Yuemeng is the child born in China, which is easier to gain the trust of the German consulate.

Although Xuan Yuemeng was very dissatisfied with Timothy's story, she couldn't think of a better way.

Xuan Yuemeng is busy carrying out her own exhibition plan, and Xuan Zonglu is not idle either.

At night, Xuan Zonglu's bedroom.

Xuan Hongbo exposes the tobacco from the hookah to Xuan Zong and serves the old man to smoke.

Xuan Zonglu let out a breath of smoke and breathed a sigh of relief, "It seems that Li Hongzhang will not use me as an old man. He wants to cultivate his own power all of him. This is called one emperor and one minister."

Xuan Hongbo was anxious: "Dad, then if you say that, you won't be able to think about it again?"

Xuan Zonglu: "It's not impossible. You have to wait. When Chonghou restores his official position first, I will be soon. At that time, I can only find Lord Li Hongzao first and ask me to go back to the Ministry of Rites first, and then take a step forward."

Xuan Hongbo nodded, his expression dull, "You have to wait any longer, so I don't know when I have to wait. Now my elder brother has become an official. Look at the people in the big house, now they are arrogant all day long. What are their suppressions on our second house? Dad, do you think his boss is the official?"

Xuan Zonglu glanced at Xuan Hongbo, "You don't have to be impatient. I've passed the verdict for you, and I've spent 10,000 taels! I have donated a tribute student to you. In a few days, I will think of a sixth-rank official for you. I didn't want to tell you first."

Xuan Hongbo was extremely surprised and his eyes suddenly widened, "Dad, why did you tell me? Then it's good, now we can be on par with our elder brother, so that we can save the old man from being angry at home. Dad, don't worry, I will never let you down! Don't let me go out of town then?"

Xuan Zonglu smiled and said, "Donated 10,000 taels of tribute to you, the sixth rank, cost another 20,000 taels. With the cost of handling inside and outside, this is nearly 40,000 taels! The Tianjin Prefectural Office is no worse than his Tianjin Machinery Manufacturing Bureau."

Xuan Hongbo said in surprise and almost jumped up. Suddenly he stood up, "Dad, why did you speak one after another? You have done this for me? So, I am now an official? Don't worry, I will respect you all my life!"

Xuan Hongbo never thought that the old man would spend such a lot of money on him, so he was so moved.

Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Yuemeng never thought that the old man would spend so much money to buy an official position for Xuan Hongbo. Seeing Xuan Hongbo swaggering into the hall, he didn't know what disease he had suffered.

Everyone is having supper.

Xuan Hongbo stood in the upper position and coughed, "Wife, let's buy a table tomorrow. From now on, we have three people in the second room, and we will have a table alone! No, buy two more. From now on, four tables will be placed in this hall, and parents will also have one single one. Don't you like to show off? From now on, parents will have a table, a big room, a second room, and a third room, and each will have a table. Let's show off together. One breaks the manufacturing situation, and I don't know what my surname is, bah!"

Xuan Zhou knew that the old man spent a lot of money to donate officials to the second child, so he hurried to peek at the faces of the eldest and third child.

Although Xuan Hongtao guessed what was going on, he was not very angry. His personality was not a person who liked fighting spirit. He was forced to leave after being forced by the second and third bedrooms, so he jumped a few times. Xuan Hongtao also liked that the whole family could get better.

Of course, Xuan Hongyu guessed something immediately. Huo stood up and walked back. When it was time for the meal, the old man didn't come out. After giving the order to start the meal, he muttered with the second child for so long. Seeing his uncle's appearance after he came out, Xuan Hongyu knew what was going on, even if he was stupid, he knew what was going on. What's more, none of the three brothers were stupid.

Xuan Yu didn't know what happened, so he pulled Xuan Hongbo's corner of his clothes and signaled Xuan Hongbo not to do this.

Xuan Hongbo smiled and said, "What are you doing? Why can't I talk anymore? Don't eat it anymore. Now go to Zuixianju to order some good dishes. Add vegetables to the evening. I have eaten this meat and a vegetable for many days, and I am almost raising rabbits."

Xuan Hongtao: "Congratulations, second brother, has your father donated an official position to you?"

Xuan Hongbo laughed: "Boss, you are not as good as you. We have no ability, so we can only rely on the old man to do it. Tianjin Prefect's Office, the sixth-ranked man is the best!"

Xuan Hongtao and Xuan Yuemeng were shocked. Although Xuan Yuemeng still doesn’t know the structure of the officialdom very well, his grade is still clear. Xuan Hongtao made great contributions in the Tianjin lesson plan, and Li Hongzhang personally recommended it, so he was able to be an official. This opportunity can be said to be rare in history, especially when fighting. If he made contributions in the process of fighting against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and other things, he would promote dozens of people at once, that would be normal.

But Xuan Hongtao suddenly turned it into the Tianjin Prefect's Office from a white body. How much connection did he use and how much money did he spend? Xuan Yuemeng secretly missed it and hated the old man's partiality.

Xuan Hongtao is not a person with a lot of energy. It is just that in this family, he is really a person with a lot of energy, so he seems to be a little bit arrogant. However, after Xuan Hongtao heard Xuan Hongbo report his official position, he was speechless and his face turned ashen.

Everyone in the big room had no good expression. Of course, it goes without saying that Xuan Huang's sons, daughters and daughters-in-laws are all sensible. Xuan Yuelei and Xuan Yuewen are both deeply touched. Why have you been studying for so many years? Isn't it just to be an official? The second uncle has a sixth rank without any effort, so why can't people feel psychologically unbalanced?

Xuan Huang snorted: "The old man is really willing to spend money! This item is no less than 100,000 taels of silver, right? An ordinary county magistrate must be a county magistrate in a wealthy place. I am afraid that he will never want to get 100,000 taels of silver in his entire life!"

Xuan Huang was slightly exaggerated, and Xuan Huang was not sure how much money the old man spent on the second son to run for the second son.
