0136 Fighting Jade Silk
Xuan Yuemeng said with a smile: "Can someone present our gift now?"
Li Hongzhang, Weituma and Luo Shuya were all speechless at Xuan Yuemeng. How could she laugh so brightly?
Li Hongzhang coughed and ordered Sheng Xuanhuai to ask someone to go outside to get Xuan Yuemeng's gift. Sheng Xuanhuai began to hear the yelling inside outside, and was still happy. He wished that Weituma and Luo Shuya would kill Xuan Yuemeng on the spot, but when he came in, he saw the peaceful atmosphere in the room. He was so puzzled and depressed. Please read ΩΩbook ∫WΩ.

Sheng Xuanhuai took Li Hongzhang's instructions, slanted Xuan Yuemeng, and felt frustrated.
Xuan Yuemeng’s gift was three pistols with golden gun handles.
This gift is definitely taken out, and it is not too expensive, it is suspected of flattery, nor is it too cheap, or it is not too respectful.
Although Li Hongzhang is not short of money, this kind of pistol is obviously the latest style, and it is exquisitely crafted and not easy to buy, so it must be customized.
However, British Minister Witoma and French Minister Roshua did not have much income. Apart from a little extra money and normal income, they could not afford such a golden pistol in three years!
All three of them were very surprised by the gift Xuan Yuemeng gave.
Li Hongzhang held the pistol, gestured for a moment, and put it back into the gift box, "This is a good thing, is it German goods?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and nodded, "I have wanted to give it to the Zhongtang for a long time. I have never had the opportunity to have free time in the Zhongtang. I happened to come to the Governor's Office today, so I brought it."
Li Hongzhang narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He glanced at Xuan Yuemeng, then looked at Luo Shuya and Weituma.
Luo Shuya and Weituma were obviously very satisfied with this gift. Both of them couldn't put it down and played with it in their hands for a while.∫Please read the book Ww∫W∮.

Li Hongzhang thought to himself, wouldn’t it be better if this would be the case, why do you have to kill the enemy?
However, Li Hongzhang thought again, it would be useless to do this before, and he would not fight. After all, it would not work. He couldn't help but look at Xuan Yuemeng again. This little person had a bright energy in his eyes. Li Hongzhang couldn't help but sigh that Xuan Yuemeng had many methods, could bend and stretch, and had the heart to achieve great things.
Although Li Hongzhang was a little wary of Xuan Yuemeng, he still admired Xuan Yuemeng's talent very much. A one-year-old child is already so good. In time, he will definitely be a hero in the world after he becomes an adult.
As for people, it is not a big deal to be crazy at all. The key is to show your means and talents. In this way, even if others want to be enemies of you, they will treat you as a character and will not underestimate you.
Xuan Yuemeng asked Witoma and Luo Shuya with a smile: "Are the two ministers satisfied with the gifts we sent from foreign companies? Everything is a misunderstanding, it's good to say it's open. We, Mr. Timothy. We also want to invite the two ministers and Li Zhongtang to eat at the Xingtaixing Hotel in the British Concession."
Luoshuya and Vitoma collected the gift and thought, "Is that just reconciled?"
However, before coming here, the two of them did not reach a certain understanding. What to do with the newly emerged and very fast-moving Klinsmann Foreign Company is indeed very troublesome, and they did not have a unified understanding. The country will definitely not support them to go to war with European countries casually. If they are forced to fight with Klinsmann Foreign Company, they will not only have to openly break up with Germany, but also have to openly break up with the United States.
Luoshuya and Vitoma looked at each other, without saying anything, and were quite hesitant.
Now it was Timothy Li's turn to show his strengths. He warmly invited Witoma, Roshua and Li Hongzhang. In fact, before coming, Xuan Yuemeng had not mentioned that he would go to the British Concession for dinner. "Two gentlemen, and Lord Li Zhongtang, please give us a thin face in the Klinsmann foreign company. ∫ Please read the book W × ∫ W h W h I K W h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h
Now Xuan Yuemeng is completely fine. She is following a few people, holding hands with Timothy Li, looking like a child.
When everyone, Li Hongzhang, came out, the Beiyang Yamen and the people in the PGA Police Station who were still confronting each other outside couldn't understand what was going on. The big guys reconciled so quickly?
Dali hurried over and hugged the cute young master.
Xuan Yuemeng couldn't figure it out himself, so he made up so quickly?
In fact, the British and French were here to reconcile today. In fact, as long as Klinsmann had a soft attitude earlier, he would have been able to reconcile long ago. At least he would not be so stiff. Xuan Yuemeng was a little too strong.
British Concession, inside the Xingtaixing Hotel.
Luo Shuya, Weituma and Timothy Li were chatting and laughing. It seemed that the one who rushed over to beat Timothy Li was not the two people in front of him. Xuan Yuemeng also asked Timothy Li to invite Hud, Decuilin and McMafu from Xingtaixing Company to come, but the three of them had not arrived yet.
Li Hongzhang and Xuan Yuemeng sat together.
Li Hongzhang glanced at Xuan Yuemeng and was angry and loving Xuan Yuemeng. The relationship between the two is now a bit subtle. Originally, Li Hongzhang's love for Xuan Yuemeng was not inferior to Zeng Jize. Since Xuan Yuemeng was able to help him for eight months, he has left a deep and beautiful impression of Xuan Yuemeng.
Xuan Yuemeng didn't know what to say to Li Hongzhang. In fact, Xuan Yuemeng had a lot to say to Li Hongzhang. He wanted Li Hongzhang to understand his thoughts. After all, if Li Hongzhang gave him some help, he would add a lot of points to his career!
However, Xuan Yuemeng had concerns. Li Hongzhang had a high position and was very powerful. Xuan Yuemeng had no good impression of Li Hongzhang. He felt that Li Hongzhang was too greedy for power and was not a saint. He was definitely not a person who could sacrifice his personal status for the sake of the country and the nation. He could only be said to be a very smart slave.
Xuan Yuemeng doesn’t like slaves.
Li Hongzhang sighed and asked softly: "Yuemeng, tell me the truth, did you open this Klinsmann foreign company or the foreigner?"
Xuan Yuemeng looked at Li Hongzhang in shock, then looked at Timothy, Luo Shuya and Weituma opposite him. The three of them obviously didn't care about their conversation with Li Hongzhang.
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said softly, "Master Zhongtang, do you still need to ask? Where did I get so much money? Of course, it was the Klinsmann Company run by Mr. Timothy. I am just an interpreter. Seeing that I did well, Mr. Timothy gave me 10% of the shares."
In fact, Xuan Yuemeng's setting is very reasonable. Outsiders can't see any flaws at all! Li Hongzhang is just a feeling, and he did not stick to his doubts.
Li Hongzhang nodded, "This foreigner has a big appetite, Yuemeng, you can honestly tell me, what does this foreigner want to do when spending so much thought in our Qing Dynasty? Ordinary foreigners are just for money, and it seems that they are not just for money?"
Xuan Yuemeng didn't know how to answer this question. She thought for a while and saw how to answer it was reasonable. "He loves our Qing Dynasty and wants to help us. Don't misunderstand that Mr. Timothy is the kind of ambitious person. If you have contacted him too much, you will find that he is still very much like a child."
Li Hongzhang looked at Xuan Yuemeng again, "Yes, he looks like a child, but you look like an adult, Yuemeng, you don't know what to say, have you ever thought about taking the imperial examination?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I will participate in the hospital examination next month. I have passed the county examination and the government examination. A while ago, a group of sour literati questioned my qualification for the government examination. This matter is so big, don't you not know, right?"
Li Hongzhang smiled and said, "Of course I know this. I also read the "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" you wrote. If you continue writing, you should be careful. If you tend to be inclined to Song, you will anger the court!"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and nodded, "I know, I don't tend to do anything. I just want a historical background and don't describe war."
Li Hongzhang nodded and said, "Yes, do you know why you didn't have a book? It was the headquarters that helped you suppress it. Zhilin has already gone to the court to participate in you! It's because you wrote that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty is enough to be the emperor, and the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty is a dog official and a corrupt official, so you retained your book "The Legend of the Condor Heroes"."
Xuan Yuemeng sweated, it turned out that Zhilin really went to participate in him? In fact, when he started to choose which book to write, Xuan Yuemeng also took some time. He felt that Lao Jin's political stance was ambiguous. Now that the book has been deeply processed by Xuan Yuewen and Zhao Qingluo, it should not be considered banned in this era, but he thought that Zhilin would still participate in it. "Thank you, Lord Zhongtang!"
Xuan Yuemeng said this to thank Li Hongzhang sincerely!
Li Hongzhang touched Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws. Li Hongzhang originally loved to hold Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws the most. This is the first time he has held them today.
Li Hongzhang: "Yuemeng, I just asked you whether you really participated in the imperial examination or was it fun? Have you not answered me yet? Have you ever thought about working for the court in the future?"
Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Of course it's sincere, otherwise what will I do when I participate in the county and government trials? If I don't win the scholar, Uncle Zeng will break the engagement with me."
Li Hongzhang smiled and said, "I also know this. I am afraid that you will take the imperial examination not for the sake of being an official, not for the sake of helping the court, and just for the agreement between you and your uncle Zeng. Do you know? I really hope that you can get into the scholar this time. The imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty has not been so sensational for a long time. There are top scholars in the twenties and teenagers. If you can have a one-year-old scholar, everyone in the world will know that the imperial examination in the Qing Dynasty is not very difficult and will give more people hope."
Xuan Yuemeng nodded. He understood this. However, he had a very clear understanding of the scientific examination system in the late Qing Dynasty. He knew that his success rate for the scholar exam was less than one tenth, and he did not dare to say anything big to Li Hongzhang. "I am afraid I will disappoint the Zhongtang. My knowledge is very poor." (To be continued.)
