Chapter 121: Princess Xixian

It seems that the order was issued to ask Zuo Zongtang to recruit this person. Since Wei Yuan and Lin Zexu were kind, they would naturally love Zuo Zongtang. If he was the president of the university, it would definitely be very suitable.

Li Yunzhong remembered that several times the dispatched students were rejected by the ministers of several countries, saying that there must be a guarantor when studying in Europe. Looking at Wu Shaorong in front of him, he asked: "I heard that the Wu family is in Europe and the United States is very related. I wonder if he can serve as guarantors for several international students."

Seeing that it was not a big deal, Wu Shaorong immediately agreed: "This matter is easy, the emperor can rest assured that my Wu family has investments in the UK, the United States, and France. It is easy to arrange school for several international students!"

Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "It's not a few, but three hundred. They are all 15 or 16 years old. They only have some simple understanding of Europe. I wonder what the sir plans to arrange them?"

Wu Shaorong thought for a moment and replied: "I have a friend Rong Min who is studying at Yale University in the United States at this moment. He can ask him to help arrange fifty students. The Wu family has many companies in Europe that can provide accommodation and arrange schools for the remaining students. In this way, two hundred students are already my greatest ability."

Lu Jiguang gritted his teeth and promised: "Emperor, Caomin can also arrange 100 people to intern in Prussia, and Caomin's relationship there can still be trusted."

"Haha... OK, you two are sincerely joining me!" Li Yunzhong raised his glass and smiled.

Fu Shanxiang looked at Wu Fangfei's dress and asked enviously: "Sister, your clothes look so beautiful. Where did you buy them? There is no tailor shop in Nanjing that can make such beautiful clothes!"

Wu Fangfei smiled and said, "It's so good for the Empress to learn that these dresses are customized in Europe. If the Empress likes them, I still have several sets at home. What if I give you one?"

Fu Shanxiang refused reluctantly: "Forget it, the emperor repeatedly emphasized that officials are not allowed to accept bribes from others. How can I take the lead in violating the gifts?"

This is not a problem for Wu Fangfei, staring at Li Yunzhong with wide eyes and saying, "The emperor only said that he was not allowed to accept gifts, and he was not allowed to buy or sell them. Even if a dress is sold to the empress for 100 taels of silver, the emperor would not blame him!"

The more Fu Shanxiang saw Wu Fangfei, the more he liked him. Since the emperor wanted to win over the Wu family, he also had to do his best. Thinking of this, he praised Wu Fangfei: "Sister, you are so smart. How about I recognize you as my fucking sister?"

Wu Fangfei said excitedly: "The Han imperial concubine recognized herself as her sister. Fangfei was too happy, so she would not refuse. Fangfei paid a visit to her sister. I hope her husband and wife will be in love and grow old together!"

The word "couple" made Fu Shanxiang feel excited. He took down the bracelet he wore and put it in Wu Fangfei's hand and said, "You little girl is really good at speaking, and my sister has no gifts to give you. This bracelet was carefully selected by me, so I will give it to you as a meeting gift."

When Li Yunzhong saw Fu Shanxiang and Wu Fangfei whispering, he burst into laughter like silver bells from time to time and asked them: "What are you two saying so happy? It's better to have fun alone than to be happy. Tell me and let everyone listen!"

Fu Shanxiang stood up and said to Li Yunzhong: "I just recognized Fangfei as my sister, please be a witness!"

Hong Xuanjiao was very happy with Fu Shanxiang's move. Since she recognized her sister, she interrupted the emperor's covetousness and said, "Sister Fu is rarely so elegant. The emperor should not give up her intentions."

Li Yunzhong originally liked Wu Fangfei's surname and smiled and said, "I can't be regarded as a witness. To be honest, I have the most affinity with Fangfei. If you want to recognize your sister, I will come first. Fangfei's surname is very similar to my sister."

Wu Fangfei jumped out excitedly and bowed to Li Yunzhong: "Fangfei meets brother, I wish you a long live the emperor brother!"

Wu Shaorong thought the emperor was just a joke and was afraid that his baby daughter would cause a big disaster, so he quickly refused: "The little girl is naughty, how can she be the emperor's sister? It's just a joke. Please atone for the emperor."

Wu Fangfei was dissatisfied with her father and said coquettishly: "Dad! The emperor recognizes me as his sister, so he likes me. How can you refuse? Besides, the princesses in Europe are all arrogant. When I see them next time, I don't have to give way to them!"

Li Yunzhong said to Wu Shaorong: "You have no jokes. Since I have recognized Fangfei as my sister, I cannot say nothing without saying this. If Fangfei returns from Europe, she will be named Princess Xixian."

After the song ended, Wu Shaorong left with Lu Jiguang and his family with excitement. He planned to join the Wanbaolou Chamber of Commerce tomorrow, and returned to Guangdong to take back the money invested in foreign countries and invest in industry in Dahan.

Su Sanniang asked, "Why did the emperor look at Wu Fangfei differently? I am stupid. Does the emperor like to dress up?"

Xu Yuexiang, Fu Shanxiang, and Hong Xuanjiao gathered together. After listening to Li Yunzhong's answer, they were thinking about what it would be like to wear a dress.

When I met Wu Fangfei today, Li Yunzhong remembered all the life in his previous life again, and said indifferently: "I searched for him thousands of times in the crowd, that person... Unfortunately, I can never find him, I can only express my longing. In fact, you don't have to worry. I don't want to make Fangfei a princess, but it's not all about emotions. Fangfei has a spirit that Chinese women lack. I hope she can carry forward this spirit."

Fu Shanxiang thought of something at once, and he was even more eager for Wu Fangfei to send the dress quickly. The emperor was obviously curious. If he put on the dress, he would definitely attract the emperor's attention. At that time, he might be able to have a son and half a daughter like the queen, so that he could have a support for him.

Hong Xuanjiao also had the same thoughts. She held Li Yunzhong's arm and said coquettishly: "I think Princess Xixian's dress is very beautiful. Can the emperor make more sets?"

Li Yunzhong: “…”

The newly built Wanbao Tower was very lively at this time. Businessmen from all walks of life gathered together and were bustling with each other, taking the opportunity to make friends with each other.

"Wang Shilie! Brother Wang, long time no see. Since you left in Shanghai, you have never come to me. How did you hear that you opened a cement factory and cooperated with foreigners to produce Portland cement? I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I happened to pave a cement road on Zhuque Street, Suzhou. You have to help me!" A fat man hugged a man in a suit and didn't let go.

Wang Shilie pushed the fat man away, sorted out the suit, and replied, "It turned out to be you! Yang Wei, it's not me. We are all civilized people now. Don't do the embrace of the countryside. It's too vulgar. My clothes are customized from Vienna, Europe. Each piece costs several thousand taels of silver. If it's dirty, you have to send them to Hong Kong to wash. I'm in trouble!"
