Back home, Wu Xu hurriedly rummaged through the boxes to find out the money, went to the brothel himself, and brought back his drunken son.After returning home, he served tea with his own hands, and finally waited until his son sobered up. Wu Xu hurriedly asked with a salivating face, "My dear son, Dad knows that you are extremely smart, so from childhood to adulthood, no matter what you do, Dad would not bear to touch a finger of yours." head.But son, such a big matter as going to aid Jinling and letting your father die is beyond your ability, how did you settle it for your father?

Wu Yanei: Tea! Wu Xu hastily smiled apologetically and brought over the tea.Wu Ya Nei frowned and pushed away: Old man, you know my habit. Fragrant tea and beauties are indispensable. Is it possible that I, a majestic Wu Ya Nei, will be vulgar to such a bad taste, drinking tea brought by a stupid old man? ? Yes, yes, yes, yes, Wu Xu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: My son, I have to be a beauty with fragrant tea... Son, I beg you, please tell my father quickly, how did you manage to deal with Li Hongzhang? It is too easy to settle Li Hongzhang.Wu Yanei laughed and said, "Old man, tell me first, why did you invite Li Hongzhang to Shanghai in the first place?"

Wu Xu: It's not... It's not that I was worried about the safety of Shanghai and thought that Li Hongzhang brought his Huai army here, which could resist the Taiping army. Wu Yanei smiled: That's right, old man, you are thinking about Shanghai, and all your thoughts are on Shanghai's safety.How can you run into trouble if you are doing right and walking well?You shouldn't have lost this Su Song Taidao at all, it's all because you are too stupid.But the east corner of the loss, the mulberry elm harvest, now you have no loss. Wu Xu: ...Son, your reasoning is correct, but what happened... How did you solve it?

Wu Yanei said: "Stupid old man, you have a clear conscience, that's enough." Is it enough?Wu Xu looked at his son puzzled. not enough?Wu Yanei looked at his father in surprise. But this... Wu Xu was completely fooled. Oh, my stupid father!Wu Yanei sighed and said: You have acted righteously, walked well, and have a clear conscience, which means that you have never offended Li Hongzhang, whether in justice or in personal friendship. Not only did you not offend him, but you also treated him with great kindness.If it wasn't for your father running back and forth, so busy that you turned your back on Xue Huan and fought for Li Hongzhang's chance, how could he, Li Hongzhang, have such a great opportunity to become so successful?

Wu Xu said: Son, this is the reason, but the problem is... Wu Yanei took over the conversation: The problem is that you are too stupid and self-proclaimed to be noble. Although you are kind and virtuous to Li Hongzhang, you don't bother to let go of your arrogance and try to curry favor with Li Hongzhang. In the end, people like Xue Huan and Qian Dingming clung to him .As time goes by, Li Hongzhang's brain gradually becomes insufficient, and he forgets your kindness. In fact, as long as you find a way to pass your hard work and kindness to Li Hongzhang to Li Hongzhang's ears, he will let him Suddenly woke up.He is a person who does great things, he values ​​reputation the most, and what he fears the most is to bear the bad reputation of being ungrateful. Once he realizes your kindness, it is too late to repay you in a hurry, so how dare he send you to the battlefield to die?

Oh... Wu Xu finally came to his senses: it turns out that it is like this. There is a master who said that a gentleman should focus on the foundation, and Dao is born from the foundation.Your father and I know that I am stupid, so I never dare to be selfish in doing things, but...your father and I can't put this idea into Li Hongzhang's mind, how did you do it, son? It's so easy.Wu yamen smiled and said: I asked Qian Dingming to take me into the governor's yamen, chat with the staff, and then asked Qian Dingming to find a reason to let Li Hongzhang pass by the door.My aides mocked me, saying that my days as a playboy were over and I could only beg on the streets.I told them that this is impossible. In my life, I will live a life of a playboy, and no one can stand in my way.You know, Li Hongzhang is a man of great talent and reason, and he values ​​friendship the most. How much work did my father do to get him to come to Shanghai?How many people have been offended?My father is sincere and sincere, and never mentions a word about these things, but Mr. Li knows it well, so, sending my father to aid Jinling, my father will rush to go even if he wants to.Because my father is short-hearted, he only thinks of serving the country and the people, serving the king, and only thinking of dying in battle, shrouded in horse leather.But Master Li Hongzhang will definitely not let my father go to Jinling. Master Li still needs my father, not only for repaying his kindness, but more importantly, there are not enough officials like my father who are loyal to the country. Master Li is so tall. Talented and knowledgeable, how can there be a reason to abandon a talent like my father lightly on the battlefield... I said in the room that it is enough for Li Hongzhang to hear a word or two.He is a smart person, and he knows what to do as soon as he hears it. He is not as stupid as your father, who has explained everything clearly to you, and you have to think about it for several hours, and you may not be able to figure it out in the end.

Wu Xu: Oh, oh oh oh... Wu Yanei stood up and knocked on the father's head: "Okay, my stupid father, your historical mission has been completed. From now on, you can just hold the golden rice bowl and sit by the side to eat while watching other people's scenery..." ...By the way, hurry up and give me the money, I have to go back to Fengyuechang and continue to spend my days and nights.
