Tang Haoming and his group were sent away at the wharf, and Lu Yongzhi and Xiao Mali also booked a ship to Hong Kong. They will break up there. One will change the boat to France and the other will return to Guangxi.

It was ordered by Xiaomali's father. She went to France first to study English in France, and then looked for ways to see if she had the opportunity to go to Oxford without taking the exam. The entrance exam at Oxford University is still very strict, and Xiaomali's English failure is a big problem.

François is thinking of a way to enter Oxford as a French magistrate.

Before leaving Shanghai, he had to go to see Sheng Xuanhuai. At present, he was the most pro-official person in the Qing government who was more speculative than him. Now Sheng Xuanhuai is also on a downward verge. In October last year, Sheng Xuanhuai's father passed away. According to the system, he had to propose to the court to resign and return home to stay for 27 months.

Strangely, during this extraordinary period, the court did not take away the love and accepted the request to resign.

Soon, he understood the profound meaning, Yuan Shikai sent someone to accept his industry: Telegraph Bureau, Railway, and Steamship Investment and Merchants.

After Li Hongzhang's death, Yuan Shikai slowly took over Li Hongzhang's sphere of influence and became the first Han minister after Li Hongzhang.

Sheng Xuanhuai can only rely on the governor of Huguang, Zhang Zhidong, who is full of conflicts with Yuan Shikai and others, and they are afraid of each other.

When Lu Yongzhi came to Xinjia Garden with a box of foreign wine and a box of top-quality cigars, the one who came forward to receive him was Sheng Xuanhuai's wife. She told Lu Yongzhi that now, Shan Da was no longer there during the Dingyou period.

If you use it, I have nothing to do, I just say goodbye to the adults. I want to go to Guangxi to deal with some things, but I am not in Shanghai during this period.

After a while, he chatted politely for a few days, Lu Yongzhi said goodbye and went home. Shortly after he got home, he received a letter from Sheng Xuanhuai from Sheng Mansion. This was a letter of recommendation to Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang.

In the letter, I highly praised Lu Yongzhi and called him a business genius, who was well-versed in Chinese and Western cultures, and had the ability to overcome the world.

After counting on his fingers, Zhang Zhidong has not had a few years to live. Let’s keep it for emergencies.

When we got home, we gathered the housekeeper Lao Chen, the cook Lao Bao, the maid Japanese Michiko and the coachman Achang and said:

I am going to Guangxi on Sunday, and my family will make some arrangements. Old Chen stayed to visit my home, Michiko went to François's house, and her French maid followed Xiaomali back to France. As for Old Bao and Achang, if you are willing to go to Guangxi with me, I will give you half a year's settlement fee. If you don't want to, you can only find another way out.

Achang first expressed his opinion that he had not left Shanghai even though he had grown up, so I was willing to follow his husband to Guangxi. When the chef Lao Bao heard that he had a half-year settlement fee, he immediately agreed to leave.

He said goodbye to Maggie for a long time and promised her to learn about Guangxi as soon as possible, so he brought his group to the dock to board the boat.

This is a British luxury cruise ship, Xiao Mali booked a first class cabin. A luxurious private room with only one bed inside."

Where is another room?" Lu Yongzhi took Xiao Mali to the cabin and asked with his luggage.

"I'll just do this when I booked it, let's just squeeze it." Xiao Mali looked innocent."

Oh, you want me to sleep underground again?"

"A bed of this big is not enough for us to sleep. We are brothers and sisters, what are we afraid of?"

"Please, you are so old. What do you think of sleeping together?" Lu

Yongzhi put his luggage on the bed and said, "When the boat is driving later, I'll go and ask if there is any extra cabin."

Mali took off her shoes quickly, jumped onto the bed, and leaned against him and lay down: "No, I'm afraid of sleeping alone."

You really can't grow up!" Lu Yongzhi was a little helpless."

Otherwise, I'd better go to Guangxi and wait until your business is done, and we'll go to the UK to study together?"

"Everyone has agreed that you will not be able to catch up with Oxford's school start."

"Hey, I'm so boring to go alone." Xiao Mali sighed.

When it was dinner time, Xiao Mali jumped up from the bed and said, "Pick off the box for me, I want to change my evening dress." Lu

He gave her clothes and wanted to go out."

Don't leave, help me with the back. Don't peek, I'm taking off my clothes."

Lu Yongzhi shook his head again, this guy is so willful.

"Okay, turn your head." Lu

Yongzhi turned his head and saw Xiao Mali twisting her butt on the bed wearing underwear, laughing like a prank."

Hurry up, put on your clothes quickly. I didn’t even have enough food to go late.” Lu Yongzhi threw her clothes to her.

When it was time to bed at night, Lu Yongzhi covered Xiao Mali with a blanket and wrapped himself up. As soon as he fell asleep in a daze, Xiao Mali got into his blanket and pressed tightly against his back.

Yongzhi pretended not to know and continued to fall asleep in a drowsy way. Fortunately, Xiao Mali did not move further, just hugged him.

Uchi also knew that the relationship he and Xiao Mali maintained was actually self-deception. The more casual Xiao Mali was around him, the more he valued this feeling of attachment and never wanted to easily destroy this kind of family affection.

What's more, a mature woman like Maggie solved his physiological needs. Wait a little, wait a few years, and then let's marry her.

When he got up early, Xiao Mali had not woken up yet. Lu Yongzhi walked out of the door with his hands and feet, went to the deck to breathe fresh air, and moved his body by the way."

Hello, the school director." A young man of seventeen or eighteen stood in front of him and saluted him."

Are you a student of Nanyang Public School?”

"Yes, my name is Li Ruxue. I have met Mr. Lu in Nanyang Public School. Mr. Cai often stays with Teacher Cai?"

Yes, I have visited Nanyang Public School several times. Where are you going?"

Mr. Sheng selected nine of us to study in the United States.”

"Oh, that's it." After Sheng Xuanhuai founded Nanyang Public School, he sent a group of people abroad to study every year. There are law, economy, and politics. After returning to China, these people became experts in some fields, such as Zhang Zongxiang, Wang Chonghui and others.

"What are you going to learn?"

"I sign up to study law."

"It's good to study the law, and it's just right after returning to China." As the two chatted, a group of young students gradually gathered up. Some of them paid for the official expenses, and some of them paid for the private expenses.

In this era, because of the tuition and living expenses for staying in Europe, Japan introduced some special policies, which attracted a large number of young people to study in Japan. The ticket to Japan was only a few taels of silver, which was very convenient to go back and forth. However, most Japanese schools were of poor quality, and many quick-study schools were just equivalent to primary schools, which was purely a fraud.

With his unique vision, Sheng Xuanhuai insisted on selecting young students to study in Europe and the United States, but the number of people was still a little smaller. His foundation had just begun to operate, and more and more students would be there in the future.

With this look, Sheng Xuanhuai could be called a famous educator in the late Qing Dynasty.
