After greeting Li Hongzao, Xuan Zonglu asked in surprise: "Is Lord Waren's illness so severe?"

Li Hongzao sighed and nodded, "I'm afraid it won't work anymore. Maybe it's just a few days. The doctor said that it's just a while now. Ω Please read the Ω book W÷ｗΩＷ∫. ∮ＱingＫanＳhu．cC I have to visit every day these days."

Seeing Li Hongzao like this, Xuan Zonglu could only sigh with her.

Xuan Yuemeng said in her heart that she was unlucky and asked someone to talk about things. Of course, it was better to talk when they were in a good mood. Looking at Li Hongzao's expression of dad's death, it was really, the timing was so unexpected.

Xuan Zonglu: "Sir, will I go to visit Lord Waren with you tomorrow?"

Li Hongzao nodded, "Okay, Zong Lu, what's wrong with you coming to Beijing this time? I think if you don't dislike it, just live with me. Is this your little grandson?"

Xuan Zonglu was not polite and said thank you and agreed. "Thank you, Lord Li. I am here this time to accompany my grandson to do something, mainly to visit Lord Li."

Li Hongzao's mansion is not small, but the furnishings are simple. Xuan Yuemeng saw that there were not many servants in the Li family, and they were also simple. He knew that Li Hongzao should not be a false Taoist scholar, but a true gentleman. However, the gentleman of this era is almost synonymous with pedanticism. In Xuan Yuemeng, a gentleman is not a good name.

Li Hongzao looked at Xuan Yuemeng curiously, grabbed Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws, and finally squeezed out a little smile, "Zong Lu, are you joking with me? How old are you, your little grandson? Is it weaned? He can do things? What is he going to do?"

Xuan Zonglu smiled. Although he had long been used to his evil grandson, such a young child was too evil. He often thought about it and found it funny. He didn't know how to explain it, so he simply let Xuan Yuemeng say it himself.

Xuan Yuemeng was not polite, and told her about producing and selling quitting pills, and needed to get the tacit approval of the court. If she wanted to get the tacit approval of the court, she needed a military minister to report. At this time, Xuan Yuemeng even said the attitudes of Li Hongzhang and Zeng Jize, saying that as long as the court acquiesced, the Beiyang ministers and the Nanyang ministers would follow each other. They also submitted an agreement as soon as possible. Now there is a military minister who is short-spoken and dares to persuade the Empress Dowager, and the attitude of Ruilin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

In fact, when Xuan Yuemeng opened her mouth, Li Hongzao was shocked. When Xuan Yuemeng finished speaking, Li Hongzao still felt like he was in a dream.

Xuan Zonglu had long guessed that Li Hongzao would have the expression he had when he heard Xuan Yuemeng's speech. But when he really saw it, he still felt very funny. He gently pushed Li Hongzao's arm and smiled and said, "Mr. Li?"

Li Hongzao reacted for a long time, put his fist on his mouth, and coughed, "Oh, Zonglu, is this your grandson? He is really less than one year old?"

Xuan Zonglu nodded and smiled slightly: "Love grandson. Please read the book W ｗ Ω Ｗ Ω ． ∫ＱingＫanＳhu．cＣ It will be one year old after the New Year."

Li Hongzao took Xuan Yuemeng from Xuan Zonglu's hand and kissed Xuan Yuemeng's chubby little face. "I heard a child prodigy in Tianjin a while ago. Could it be that you are just talking about your little grandson?"

Xuan Zonglu smiled and said, "It's Yuemeng, Yuemeng, have you called Grandpa Li?"

Xuan Yuemeng's two bright and clever big eyes turned around: "Grandpa Li."

Li Hongzao held Xuan Yuemeng's fat claws and said, "Okay, this is really good. The child is a good seedling. Put it in my mansion and follow me to study! Zong Lu, what do you think?"

Xuan Yuemeng was sweating profusely. This was the second time he heard someone ask him to study! Zeng Jize called himself to study, saying that if he failed the scholar at the age of ten, he would break the engagement with him. You, Li Hongzao, asked him to follow you to study? Read! I have been studying in modern times for almost twenty years, haven’t I studied enough? Xuan Yuemeng now hears the word "reading" and his head is two big.

Xuan Zonglu smiled and said, "That's not OK. Lord Li doesn't know that the child has been spotted by Brother Ji Ze and is recruited as the future son-in-law of the Zeng family. He is now studying in the Zeng family. You are the imperial teacher, and the emperor is the emperor. You are willing to teach us Yuemeng personally. This is a great blessing. You can't even ask for it. It's not that I don't appreciate it, I don't know what's wrong."

Li Hongzao sighed, as if very disappointed, "Oh, why are the good things belonging to his Zeng family? Ji Ze, he has some vision."

Li Hongzao asked Xuan Yuemeng carefully what he said just now. After reading the sample of the smoking cessation pill brought by Xuan Yuemeng, he realized that it was obvious that people with a clear idea. Xuan Yuemeng thought to himself, are all the officials in the court like this?

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know that high-ranking ministers like Li Hongzao could not do specific things. If you talk to him about the past and present, and quote the classics, you will find that they can be worth ten doctoral supervisors! Xuan Yuemeng heard that it seemed that Li Hongzao, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Jize, and Zeng Guofan were very disagreeing all the way, and the relationship should be bad, and cast a shadow on what he wanted to do.

Li Hongzao twisted his beard and pondered, "This is really a good thing. Big smoke will harm our people so much, so it's the brunt of it! I'm not going to report it, but the empress dowager will never agree. The empress dowager must ask King Gong what he meant. King Gong has always advocated practicing with foreigners and promoting this... The smoking cessation pill is not much different from smoking ban. Foreigners will never agree, and King Gong will not agree. I think it's better not to talk about it. ∫ Please read the book W÷ｗ∫Ｗ∮.QingKanShu．cC”

When Xuan Yuemeng saw the old man turn over and said such a big article, she seemed to say everything, but she didn't say anything, and she was a little impatient: "I have always admired Lord Li very much. I often hear my grandfather say that Lord Li is open-minded and respectful, but she turns out to be afraid of foreigners?"

Li Hongzao smiled: "The little baby is indeed a prodigy, and he still knows how to provoke generals? Of course, I am not afraid of foreigners. What I said is not feasible or not, but whether it can be done. For this matter, it is better to let the military minister report the memorial directly. Let the powerful governor and the court start a discussion. If I support it, it would be better. Moreover, among the ministers, the most important thing is the attitude of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Dayan came from Guangdong and Guangxi. What happened to Lin Zexu's ban on smoking? Your grandfather personally experienced it."

Xuan Yuemeng, you said nothing, right? Isn’t this the same thing as Zeng Jize and Li Hongzhang? Anyway, no one of you dares to be this one, and you are waiting for others to report first! The old man is really a sloppy man, talking around in circles, but not doing practical things. Thinking that the top ministers in the court are all such people, Xuan Yuemeng even feels that this society is beyond cure.

Xuan Yuemeng knew how to observe his words and expressions, and knew that no matter how aroused the old man was, it would be useless. She smiled slightly: "Since Grandpa Li said that, you still have to find a way out of this matter. However, as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Ruilin could not go to Guangdong and Guangxi to find him, right?"

Li Hongzao smiled and said, "All officials in the border areas have suspicions in the capital. Ruilin's son is Waitabu, the head of the Ministry of Justice. You can try to talk to Waitabu."

Xuan Yuemeng said oh, and stopped talking. Okay, you old man, I want to say that it is inconvenient to find Ruilin. If you ask you to take the lead, how can you find Ruilin for me? It seems that the old man on the outside is fake.

Seeing that Xuan Yuemeng stopped persuading him, Li Hongzao thought that this child was really a child prodigy. Not only was he smart, but he was also very cunning. He smiled and nodded, talked about his past events with Xuan Zonglu, and talked about his old feelings. He talked about the emperor's recent wedding, some recent events in the court, and some changes in personnel.

Li Hongzao sighed that after Lord Wu died, there will be major changes in personnel affairs.

Anyway, Li Hongzao and Xuan Zonglu no longer surrounded Xuan Yuemeng and wanted to produce and sell smoking cessation pills.

Xuan Yuemeng listened to the two old men chatting next to him. She was bored and anxious, but she couldn't think of any other way. Where should I go to make friends with Huaitabu, the head of the Ministry of Justice? If Xuan Zonglu had a friendship with this Huaitabu, I would definitely say it just now.

Sure enough, at night, Xuan Zonglu's maid Xiaozhen served Xuan Zonglu and Xuan Yuemeng to sleep, and the grandfather and grandson went to sleep with their heads in contact. This was the first time that Xuan Yuemeng had slept like this with the old man, and she was quite uncomfortable. The old man seemed very happy. He also used his arms to make Xuan Yuemeng pillow his head, hugged Xuan Yuemeng, and gently patted Xuan Yuemeng on his back. He wanted to coax Xuan Yuemeng to sleep.

Xuan Yuemeng was sweating profusely, do you really treat me as a little bitch? Xuan Yuemeng still wanted to talk to the old man, so she asked Waitabu, the head of the Ministry of Justice, about Waitabu, his father, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ruilin.

Xuan Zonglu told Xuan Yuemeng that he and Ruilin, as well as Ruilin's son, Waitabu, the head of the Ministry of Justice, had no friendship at all.

Xuan Yuemeng was a little discouraged, so she asked the old man about the officialdom in the capital, wanting to hear the old man talk more about it and see if he could find any inspiration for himself.

The old man told Xuan Yuemeng some things about the officialdom in the capital, such as factions, official positions, and fame. Xuan Yuemeng wrote down one by one. Xuan Yuemeng also asked about the cost of the emperor's wedding, etiquette, etc., to see if there is any business to do. He just asked casually that if he wanted to do royal business, he would be very faced.

However, what the two of them said before going to bed has little to do with the matter of Xuan Yuemeng selling smoking cessation pills.

He never thought of asking the court to acquit the sale of smoking cessation pills, and this matter seemed to have fallen into a dead end again.

Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Zonglu stayed in Li's mansion that night, and the escorts could only squeeze into the guest rooms of Li's mansion.

Xuan Yuemeng couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and felt that his little head was not enough. A feeling of emptiness and confusion repeatedly invaded him. As soon as he came to this era, he took such a big step. It was indeed too stupid. Xuan Yuemeng cursed herself secretly.

Early the next morning, Xuan Yuemeng and Xuan Zonglu had just gotten up and learned about the death of Woren.

Xuan Yuemeng sweated heavily, it was a coincidence that he came here by himself? You can die after all after I finish my work? Seeing that Li Hongzao was crying and was about to faint. I really don’t know if the two of them were having sex with each other? As for how sad it was?

Xuan Zonglu: "Mr. Li, let's go to Master Wu's mansion to mourn?"

Li Hongzao wiped his tears and stood up, "Zong Lu, I'm sad, the teacher is just here!"

After Li Hongzao finished speaking, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xuan Zonglu nodded, "Please take care of yourself."

Xuan Zonglu accompanied Li Hongzao to Wuren's mansion, and Xuan Yuemeng naturally followed him.

The mansion of Wuren was very lively, with white cloth hanging everywhere, and thousands of officials in Beijing rushed to pay their respects. The faction of officials who were the officials was stacked up one after another. When the number one official in the world died, all the people from all walks of life were naturally indispensable.

Because Xuan Yuemeng was a child, it was inconvenient to enter, Xuan Zonglu asked Xuan Yuemeng to wait in the carriage. Xuan Yuemeng's carriage was luxurious and elegant, and immediately compared a group of sedan chairs. The doorman didn't know what the Xuan family was. Seeing that it was with Li Hongzao, the Xuan family's carriage was parked at the gate of the Woren Mansion. In the best position, Xuan Yuemeng was roasting the fire through the curtains in the carriage, watching the officials coming and going.

Xuan Yuemeng was still thinking about selling his own smoking cessation pills. Each family had sedan chair. He wanted to find Waitabu's sedan chair, but he didn't know which one it was, so he asked Dali to stare outside and ask people.

Xuan Dali found out in a short while and pointed Waitabu's sedan chair to Xuan Yuemeng. Xuan Yuemeng was secretly concerned, thinking about how to talk to Waitabu. All his eyes were focused on Waitabu's sedan chair, which was a key point in his success or failure of this trip. Xuan Yuemeng also specifically told Dali that once Waitabu came out, please be sure to ask Waitabu to talk to his carriage, and use the face of Li Hongzao's family. Xuan Yuemeng wanted to contact this Waitabu as soon as possible!

In fact, Xuan Yuemeng only had more than 200 taels of silver notes on her when she came out this time, and Klinsmann's Foreign Company really couldn't afford it! She was almost a candle in the wind.

Xuan Yuemeng wanted to contact Waitabu outside, so she could not visit her again. Otherwise, according to the convention of this era, she would have to spend money to prepare a gift.

In fact, Li Hongzao came late. The officials in Beijing, who were qualified and had almost all of them. Waitabu had been inside long and had already paid his condolences and was walking out. There was another person next to Waitabu, but the official was much bigger than Waitabu, but his attitude was very reserved, as if Waitabu's official was bigger than him.

However, Xuan Yuemeng immediately changed her mind and called Dali over: "Just invite Waitabu to Lord Li Hongzao's mansion, and it is said that Lord Li Hongzao personally invited him!"

Xuan Dali sweated, "Young Master, we are also visiting someone else's house. Did Lord Li Hongzao really invite you?"

Xuan Yuemeng understood Dali's meaning. Dali knew that Li Hongzao had definitely not invited him, and was lying again. He smiled and said, "Go as I said, Lord Li Hongzao will not be angry with me for this."

Xuan Dali had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

"Prince Gong is here!"
