3589 Passing the border safely
Lan promised to be the great palace maid whom Cixi had to use, and Li Lianying also wanted to give face on weekdays. When he heard Lan's promise, he hurriedly opened the door.
"This is a cup of ginseng soup from the imperial meal of Lao Fu in the morning. I gave it to this two fools... Let him replenish his body!" At this point, Lan promised to blush and laughed. When he waved his hand, the little palace maid brought the ginseng soup over.
Li Lianying slapped her thighs, quickly reached out and put her on the shoulder that she agreed, hugged her and kissed her on the face, "My good girl, have I passed that?"
Lan agreed to stretch out the orchid and pushed Li Lianying's cheek aside. She said disgustedly, "I don't say that I use the toothbrush sent by foreigners to brush my teeth, and the smell of my mouth..."
"You have good luck and can pick out such a Lao Ai... Do you think that woman is willing to kill such a baby?"
"If it were another man, Ling Chi would have been executed long ago..."
Li Lianying smiled and clapped her hands, "Oh... It's really a donkey product, but a donkey product is a bad product... Because this donkey product caused trouble, it was his donkey product that saved his life in the end..."
"Haha... how can you reason with this!"
"What does the Old Buddha mean?" Li Lianying asked carefully.
Lan agreed to dislike Li Lianying's lust, but it still couldn't be expressed on the surface. She deliberately touched her hair and said meaningfully, "What is the meaning of Lao Fu... How dare I say it randomly..."
"Oh... Look at me, this is so useless... I recently collected a new pair of good heads and faces. The red gold is inlaid with red sapphires from the Lion Kingdom. It was made by the top Chinese craftsmen..."
"I'll send it to my sister tonight..."
When she heard that there was a bribe, Lan agreed to smile and said, "Oh... Look at my memory. Lao Fu said, I will keep him here for three days first, and then find a way to send him out of the palace after three days..."
"You can serve delicious food and drinks... I have to use it in these three days!"
"Let's go back to the Office of the Internal Affairs to issue an order to reward Isha's first-rank guards, and will stay in Qixiang Sect in the future!"
"I understand, understand, sister walk slowly..."
Li Lianying looked back at Isha, "Haha... silly boy, you are lucky now, your good days are here! Tell me where your home is, I will send someone to send a letter to your home..."
"You can't worry them, either... Come on, get up... are there any difficulties at home?"
"Oh... I'm talking to my brother at hand. This afternoon, I just want the housekeeper to give you 10,000 taels of silver. In the future, you will be inseparable from your benefits..."
Just as Li Lianying comforted Isha, Li Tuo from the Military Affairs Office also received the news of safety from Eunuch Sula. Li Tuo looked calm on the surface, but he was actually more excited than anyone else. He pretended to sleep in the duty room last night but actually didn't fall asleep all night.
When Li Tuo got the news of Ping An, he almost fell to the ground with a slanted sideways. "This business with his head on his back was finally done..."
Li Tuo moved a small stool and sat at the door of the house in the military office to bask in the sun. Xiao Sula, who was delivering rice, asked for a bowl of soy milk, a piece of pancake with a freshly fried fried dough stick, and spicy pickles in it.
I didn’t need chopsticks to hold the bowl with one hand, and I started eating it viciously with the big cake in the other hand!
The warm autumn sun shines on him comfortably. The eunuchs, guards and low-level officials always take the initiative to salute him or nod and say hello when they see him.
The newly released popular Zhang Jing from the Military Affairs Office is so red and brighter, even more red than the sauce tofu juice!
After a while, he saw the Japanese Lion and Yihuan surrounded by a group of eunuchs and heading around the three halls in the south. Li Tuo didn't want to show off his limelight, so he got up and hid behind the door and peeped in his mouth, and stuffed the remaining fried dough sticks into his mouth.
"Can Cixi still manage state affairs today? Her body is OK! She is strong enough for a long lasting..."
While talking, Li Tuo saw a friend from the Telegraph Bureau who was also a minor official. The two of them had communicated with each other whether they had shared official information and had also drunk flower wine several times.
This friend had just sent the two princes into the Palace of Yangxin and was hurriedly walking back. Li Tuo threw down his bowl and wiped his hands, and walked a few steps to chase after him.
Appearing out of the corner of the steps of Zhonghe Hall, Li Tuo blocked the friend and saw that there was no one around and asked him quickly.
"Old Wang, what's wrong? You don't look very good. Did the public opinion in the capital change last night?"
The old king lowered his voice like a thief and said, "It's okay in the capital. I've been talking about the case of Salon's all night, and of course you have the matter of promotion..."
"This morning, the news of the Xingxing Gorge victory was also spread, and the people in the capital were happy about this..."
Li Tuo asked in confusion, "Why are the two princes so ugly?"
"Hey... don't mention it. I received the message from Xi'an at around 3 o'clock this morning... What are you thinking?"
"No one expected that Master Long Sui himself sent an expedition team... It was the British Gordon who led the team from Pamir..."
"That was killed from the territory of the Russians and rebels. When I walked around Outer Mongolia, I said that I was no man's land... I actually bypassed the territory of the rebels..."
"At this moment, the cavalry of Zasaktu Khan has been rescued from the wind and snow. They are heading south to Guazhou... It is estimated that it will take less than ten days to meet with Zuo Zongtang!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving, I won't say anything... I'll have to go back to the telegram office to wait for news. I'm so busy now!"
Li Tuo blinked his eyes and thought it was not good. Long lively sent envoys to comfort the Han warlords who held military power without taking charge. This is a taboo!
I left, left, and went home to hide for two days. Anyway, today is my holiday!
Of course, Li Tuo knew all kinds of tricks in the court. At the critical moment when the two princes forced the palace, it would be better to inquire less. It has been enough to show off in the past two days, so it is time to hide its weakness.
Li Tuo returned to the duty room to pack up his things, turned around and left without even saying hello to other colleagues!
After Li Tuo returned to his new mansion at Elephant Nose Killing, he realized that Li Lianying had not lie to him, and there were long queues of officials who gave gifts to the gate.
The butler outside the sedan chair quickly fell off the sedan chair and whispered, "Master... I'm waiting to see you in the front door. What a good guy, there are 30 or 40!"
"The gift list is more than one foot high... Have you seen it?"
"I saw his grandma... these are all unparalleled officials. If you see them, it will be troublesome. Hurry up and go home... Remember, you can't accept gifts from these officials!"
"Nothing can be done at all, will you give gifts?"
Li Tuo said nothing wrong. If you don’t say that the official gifts are given in the real officialdom, you have to let the housekeepers or brokers come forward.
When the gift list is delivered, the broker must explain the situation clearly. Moreover, the gift presenter and the person receiving the gift cannot be political enemies, so they can give each other a space to consider.
This is what gives gifts with a way. Today, I met these idle officials who were sitting on the bench in the capital, and they had no way to borrow money to give gifts.
Such people have shit on their money, and anyone who has to use his hand will be stinking!
Li Tuoshu, who returned to the study from the back door, comfortably brewed a cup of tea, and drove away the little maid who served him and started grinding the ink himself!
In the end, he actually took out a stack of rice paper from the bottom of the cage, which was densely packed with small characters!
Opening the first page, a line of large characters with clear ink color is revealed. "Official Appearance Record" is coming into view!
Li Tuolang's hair was covered in ink and began to write quickly, "...I want to say that it is not uncommon to send women to women in this officialdom, nor is it uncommon to send men to men... If you want to give them, you have to give them a strange man like Lao Ai..."
I really didn't expect that Li Tuo was still a literary master. He secretly recorded all the details of the late Qing officialdom and then secretly compiled them into a book!
Chapter completed!
