4043 Aunt Help
After taking a polite approach, after half a pound of rice wine, the relationship between the people became more and more intimate. Simpson took the opportunity to ask a lot of tricks in the officialdom of the capital. His intention was to interview more noble people and enter more royal secret areas!
While drinking, Liu Peiqi smiled and said, "You Europa reporters just want to inquire about the secrets of the big guys. After all, they just want the grass-roots people at the bottom to take a look at the lives of the upper aristocrats!"
"What I satisfy is their curious heart. Look at how excited the people in the entire river are today when the head of state appeared? They are all proud of the East China Sea Hidden Dragon Kowtow!"
"Stop talking about the people, even those who are officials are the same! I would like to remind you that if you want to get close to people like the head of state, it really depends on opportunities, and even if you have that opportunity, you won't have too much time!"
"I'll teach you a good person... You have to save the country in a curve, and you can't always think about getting straight to the point!"
Simpson's eyes lit up, "Please give me advice!"
"No need to mention the advice... pour wine and wine..." The drunk Liu Peiqi gestured at the wine glass, and Simpson quickly filled him with a glass!
With a sniff, Liu Peiqi breathed comfortably after a glass of yellow wine, "Ah... It's so good! If I weren't rushing to go tomorrow, I would have gone to the brothel to call a few girls... Enjoy, this is life!"
"Simpson... you have to remember that sometimes it's hard for adults to meet, you can meet villains! Men don't need to interview, you can try women!"
"I'll give you a reminder... The eldest lady of the head of state is coming from Tanggu along the canal. This is a descendant of the dignified Fucha family, the upper-class nobles of the Eight Banners, and the legal eldest lady of the head of state!"
"The head of state is not easy to interview, why don't you go there to try your luck! You can dig a lot of news even if you hit the wrong side! What the people want is just eye-opening. In fact, whether it is the people of Europa, whether they look at the head of state or the wife of the head, they are all the same fresh!"
"We need to learn from us Chinese, and you can't always look up when watching the moon... You have to learn to watch the moon in the water!"
Simpson quickly learned to clasp his fists and said, "Please teach me Mr. Liu, how can I interview the head of state?"
Liu Peiqi looked out the window and said calmly, "At this moment... the eldest lady is probably treated no less than the head of state. The dirty officials on both sides of the Grand Canal are unwilling to not flatter her. You probably don't have time!"
"This is it...you come here!"
Liu Peiqi whispered in Simpson's ear for a long time, and Simpson nodded constantly in the middle!
This Yang Zhi’s royal broker was right. At this moment, Fuhui had arrived in Shandong and was resting in Jining Prefecture after crossing the Yellow River!
However, Fuhui moved directly into the government office. The prefect of Jining was a man of man. He had already cleaned up all the main houses and respectfully invited Fuhui to settle in!
It was late at night and Fuhui held the wine glass and bought drunk alone. The moon was in the sky in the small pavilion, and only Ping'er and Qingwen were serving each other!
Under the steps outside the pavilion, the prefect Zhu Bao had been kneeling for half an hour. The cold and wet stone slab made his knees hurt, but he didn't dare to move. Fuhui didn't dare to get up if he didn't say anything!
Ping'er couldn't see it and whispered, "Madam... Let the prefect get up, don't kneel down and ruin your body... It's your nephew!"
"Bah... I don't have a shameless nephew like you. Get out quickly. As far as you can!" Fuhui poured a glass of wine in anger, splashing Zhu Bao's face.
Zhu Bao didn't dare to move and cried, "Aunt! You can beat me and scold me, but I won't leave... If you don't take action to pull your nephew, I really can't get over this hurdle!"
"If you can't get over it, you will die! I'm so angry... You can be so shameless, and you dare to be greedy for the money on the river? Five million taels! How much public funds will be deducted?"
"If it rains heavily next year, if the river collapses, if someone dies, you can wait to go to hell!"
Zhu Bao is also a member of the Fucha family. Of course, he is a bit far from the Fuhui branch, but in the genealogy, Zhu Bao is called Fuhui by her seniority!
In the past, when Fuqing and Fuhui were in a downturn, these relatives from the prosperous sect looked down on them! But now it is different. Since Fuqing and Fuhui's status have become higher and higher, these relatives who have been hiding as far away as they used to pounce on them like flies!
Visiting gifts, bringing family relationships, they can say that they have the same gold medal as a gift when they were young!
Although Fuhui and Fuqing looked down on these snobbish eyes, ancient China was an era when clans ruled everything, and no one dared to say that they were out of the control of the clan!
You can't even lose your kinship if you look down on me. If you dare to break off your kinship, it's really a violation of the king's law!
This time, Fuhui set out from Tanggu and headed south along the canal. It was originally a secret action. Without a big fanfare, even the steamer made was a small postal boat and a wooden paddle steamer!
If no one leaked the information, such a ship would not be eye-catching, but unexpectedly, Fuhui found something was wrong when the canal entered Cangzhou!
From time to time, officials holding their hands on both sides of the Grand Canal were waiting to see him, especially the most were the ones!
Moreover, the reason for seeing her was very high-sounding, because the Eight Banners have been a family since ancient times. If you want to catch up with relatives, no one can escape. It is normal for local officials to expressly say that they would pay their respects to Fuhui!
Fuhui is not only Xiao Letian's wife, but also the sister of Prime Minister Fuqing, and also the cousin recognized by Cixi... All forces are combined together, Fuhui is also an opposition god with very political influence in the court and the opposition!
Knowing that such a great Buddha goes south, as long as the official who can get along with him along the way will not be moved!
Xiao Letian is making a lot of noise in the south? In fact, it is not as good as the wife from the north going south! You should know that the possibility of the head of state helping to give these officials is very slim!
But Fuhui is much more likely to benefit these "relatives". After all, you are the Eight Banners Aunt!
Fuhui was very annoying throughout the journey. Since Cangzhou, there have been gifts every day. There are officials who do not work on both sides of the river. When they see the steamship, they kneel down and kowtow to express their hopes to Fuhui for a visit!
There is a large stack of hand that collects every day, and all kinds of local specialties are sent up, and they cannot be pushed off!
In the end, Fuhui was forced to have no choice but to donate these gifts to Jishengtang, Shantang, Congee Shed and other places in the prefectures and counties along the way, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds!
However, other officials are easy to pass on, and they will disappear if they don’t see each other. The face of the Jining Prefect Zhu Bao must be seen. After all, they can really call you aunt!
At Jining Wharf, Zhu Bao had been waiting for three days. After the steamer ship was docked, Zhu Bao rushed to the boat like a pug and kowtowed without saying a word!
He coaxed and persuaded his aunt to live in the government office so that his nephew would be filial!
In order to welcome Fuhui, Jining Mansion was short of loess plating water on the street. All the officials in Jining together came here to kneel down and greet them!
Fuhui kicked him several times in secret, but this shameless thing was not angry at all!
But that night, Fuhui knew that he had been fooled. Zhu Bao actually begged him to help him because he had greedyed five million taels of silver, or the money for dredging water conservancy on the river!
Chapter completed!
