Taking this into consideration, he already knew how to talk to this brother, and immediately said: "Brother's words are reasonable. The reason why the country is talking about chaos and peace is actually because we have one less person in China.
The backbone. What is a great president, what is a republic, and what is min zhu? How many people can understand it? The South is clamoring for a republic and min zhu all day long. It is nothing more than hoping to take the opportunity to seek personal rights and interests under a high-sounding banner.
."
Yuan Keding raised his eyebrows slightly, then said with a smile: "Yes, that's the truth."
Yuan Su sighed and said: "Judging from the current situation in China, it is really a long way to go to completely stabilize the country. My brother and I are both from Ke family backgrounds, and we both hope to complete the great cause of stabilizing the country. My uncle laid the foundation for the country's stability.
You, my brother, will definitely inherit our legacy in the future. When the time comes, I will do my best to help you and do your best to consolidate our Greater China."
Yuan Keding originally thought that Yuan Su would go on with the words "one less backbone", but he didn't know that the other party suddenly changed the topic. However, he was not angry. Instead, he was very happy to hear that Yuan Su would support him in inheriting his father's legacy.
.
"Those who have achieved great things in the past and present have indispensable efforts of several generations. We, the Yuan family, are now relatives of the emperor. Naturally, we must persist in holding on to this hard-won family fortune. Looking back on China's thousands of years of history,
Once a country has a master, it must be consistent and consistent. Those outsiders will only mess around with all kinds of doctrines, and there are all kinds of masters behind the scenes. Except for bad things, they will never achieve great things." Yuan Keding said in a eloquent manner.
, the intention in the words becomes more and more explicit.
"This statement is very true. Nowadays, local separatism is serious, and warlords of all sizes are just agents of foreigners. According to my opinion, if China wants to prosper, it must first centralize power. Only then can the central government force local people to obey
, so that the country can be unified. And "&&fu" alludes to the "court".
"Haha, it is said that heroes see the same thing, but I didn't expect that you and my brothers also see the same thing. Keli, you are truly a good man of our Yuan family." Yuan Keding was indeed very helpful and laughed happily.
A quarter of an hour later, the banquet was almost ready. Yuan Keding took Yuan Su's hand and went to the backyard to welcome the two aunts to the table. Yuan Keding walked bumpily. In the past, he fell off a horse and injured his leg, leaving him with a lifelong disability.
My own legs are my fault, but I was very happy after talking to Yuan Su today. On the way to the backyard, I specifically talked to Yuan Su about horseback riding. He also said that he would go to Beiyuan to pick out a good horse for Yuan Su after the new year.
.
Yuan Su knew that Yuan Keding could not help but get carried away when he heard that someone supported him as the "Prince", even if the so-called "support" was very vague. He was not interested in China's current state system at all, and he did not care whether it was a presidential system or a cabinet.
system, not to mention the restoration of the monarchy or the constitutional monarchy, because in the next twenty years, the only solution that can work in China is to use power. In his view, as long as it can promote the centralization of power, any system can
It's all clouds.
What's more, what he needs most now is to integrate into the Yuan Shikai family as soon as possible. He had already had a close relationship with the Zhang Zhenfang family when he was in Luanzhou, and he was only one step away from becoming a figure at the core of Beiyang power. In order to achieve this goal, he It is not a big deal at all for Yuan Keding or even Yuan Shikai himself to say something as he pleases.
The two came to the courtyard of the official residence. Since Yuan Shikai took over the power of Bei Jing, family members have moved to Bei Jing one after another. However, not all of Yuan Shikai's main wife and nine concubines have moved to Bei Jing. Currently, only the official family members are in the Presidential Palace. Mrs. Shi Yu, eldest aunt Mrs. Shen, fifth aunt Mrs. Yang, eighth aunt Mrs. Guo and ninth aunt Mrs. Liu.
Because the wife, Mrs. Yu, did not study much and had not seen much of the world, a foreign minister planned to shake hands with Yuan Shikai during the inauguration ceremony of the president. As a result, Mrs. Yu was at a loss and put her hands behind her back, which made her look like this. The foreign minister was very embarrassed. From then on, Yuan Shikai did not let Mrs. Yu follow him to official occasions, and she seemed very cold on weekdays.
Yuan Keding took Yuan Su to visit Madam Yu first. Madam Yu was Yuan Keding's biological mother and the legitimate hostess of the Yuan family. According to the rules, he had to bow to the eldest lady first. This was the first time for Yuan Su to be a guest at the Yuan family. When the lady met, she had to bow three times and bow nine times. After the ceremony, Yuan Su also made a special trip to present the gift he brought from Luanzhou, which was a ninety-year-old ginseng wrapped in a pure gold box.
The pure gold box was built by Yuan Su with his own money, but the 90-year-old ginseng was plundered from Wang Litong's home. Originally, when he went to Beijing to meet with the president's uncle, Wang Litong specifically asked Yuan Su for help. Taking the opportunity to say a few nice words to him in the central yang, Yuan Su naturally found this decent treasure from Wang Litong's house.
Even though Wang Suping was unwilling in every possible way, since Yuan Su took charge of Luanzhou, he had taken away a lot of valuable things from the palace, but he also knew very well that Yuan Suping had never levied excessive taxes and had almost no family foundation at all. Whenever he needed the palace There must be a reason for giving money and things. Just like this time when he went north to Beijing, he had to have some decent greeting gifts. In the end, he had to endure this. Anyway, he had made Yuan Su so much advantage, and Yuan Su would definitely get it in the future. Will cover myself.
Mrs. Yu only thought that Yuan Su was a relative of the Yuan family. She politely accepted Yuan Su's salute and accepted the meeting gift from Yuan Su. Although she had seen many rare and rare objects in the Presidential Palace on a daily basis, most of them were not appreciated. It was through my own hands. Having such a great gift today will make people happy to some extent.
After leaving Mrs. Yu's place, Yuan Keding took Yuan Su to visit his aunt Mrs. Shen in her wing. Yuan Su bowed to Mrs. Shen three times and presented a pair of high-quality jade bracelets. The jade bracelets are Zhang Juren gave it as a gift before leaving. After all, Zhang Juren is the elder of a large family and is very familiar with various traditional etiquette. At the same time, he also understands that Yuan Su has little savings. The market price of this pair of jade bracelets is nearly 20,000 yuan, which is rare in a century. Excellent jade.
Mrs. Shen was originally a brothel girl in Suzhou. It is said that when Yuan Shikai's family encountered changes in his youth, he received the care and support of Mrs. Shen. Therefore, after he became prosperous, he drank water and thought about his source. Ming media was marrying and welcomed Mrs. Shen into the house. Mrs. Shen was not only well-educated and sensible, but also capable of singing and dancing. , and he knew how to manage a household better. Yuan Shikai not only doted on him, but also entrusted him with all the affairs of the family.
Not only that, Mrs. Shen never had anything to do with her life. Yuan Shikai also specifically asked all his children to call Mrs. Shen "real mother", which shows the extent of his love for her.
This time, Yuan Keding only introduced Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Shen to Yuan Su. After all, the meal at noon can only be regarded as a casual meal, and the banquet in the evening is the chairman. Only then will he take Yuan Su to meet all the elders.
During the luncheon, Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Shen both came out. Yuan Keding's wife, the seventh son Yuan Kedu, the thirteenth son Yuan Kehe, the sixth daughter Yuan Luzhen and others who happened to be in the capital were all present. However, except for Yuan Keding, several others The Yuan family's children are young and don't see much of the outside world. They just treat it as a simple meal with a distant relative.
Obviously, the people of the Yuan family regarded Yuan Su as a junior who had never seen the world. The dishes at the banquet were all delicacies that ordinary people could not eat, and Yuan Keding and Mrs. Shen even specially introduced to Yuan Su a few dishes that were not available outside. Common dishes. Although there are some dishes that Yuan Su has never seen or eaten, it does not mean that he is a countryman from the valley. Although he feels a little embarrassed, he still treats them with hospitality.
After lunch, Yuan Su was taken to the guest room to rest for a while, and Yuan Keding did not accompany him anymore.
Yuan Su took a nap in the guest room for a while, and at two o'clock he specially ordered someone to prepare hot water for bathing and changing clothes. The journey was dusty, and tonight he was officially attending Yuan Shikai's family banquet, so naturally he had to be more solemn.
At five o'clock in the evening, a servant knocked on Yuan Su's door and told him to go to the official restaurant to prepare for a dinner.
So Yuan Su followed the servants to the dining room of the official residence. The servants were preparing the table. Several young disciples of the Yuan family had already arrived and were chatting. Yuan Su knew that some of them had eaten together at the luncheon, so he took the initiative They came up to say hello. These young men were also very polite, so they took Yuan Su along to chat about their daily routine.
Before he arrived, several relatives of the same generation arrived. Yuan Su knew very well that today was not the New Year's Eve. There were really many guests at the family banquet tonight. He didn't know whether the president valued him, or whether he was the official at the official residence. This is how dining is done in ri.dd
