Through Wang Youling, Hu Xueyan climbed up and took the opportunity to meet He Guiqing. On a business trip, passing by He Guiqing's office in Suzhou, Hu Xueyan took a letter written by Wang Youling to He Guiqing to visit He Guiqing, who had just stepped onto Qingyun Road.
Since he had the opportunity to meet He Guiqing, how would Hu Xueyan make a move so that He Guiqing could feel good about him?
Money is the most powerful weapon, which is Hu Xueyan's idea. Therefore, while delivering the letter to He Guiqing, Hu Xueyan sandwiched a silver ticket of five thousand taels in it. This is a secret thing, because the official is most afraid of being taken into a book and saying that he has taken bribes. In addition to sending money, you also have to give gifts.
What gift is it useful to give?
At that time, Hu Xueyan had a red-faced confidant named Ah Qiao. This Sister Ah Qiao was born in the wind and dust, is close to thirty years old, and is still graceful and charming, which fascinates many men. In the dusty place, the so-called "five years into one life", the young Ah Qiao, has long been transformed into a "public relations person" who is good at socializing.
Sister Ah Qiao's plan is to find a home as soon as possible, and to stay in the wind and moon place is not a good strategy. When Sister Ah Qiao knew Hu Xueyan, she not only sold her style, but also wanted to give her a hug. But at that time, Hu Xueyan only attached importance to his own career, and he was not interested in other things, and even lust was thrown out of the cloud of nine clouds. Sister Ah Qiao showed him the style, as if to sell to the blind, and did not get a response.
Sister Ah Qiao came from a dusty background, and she understood people's feelings best, and when she saw Hu Xueyan encountering problems in gift-giving, she asked, "What kind of person is he?"
"Yunnan people." Hu Xueyan answered. "Yunnan people are serving as officials in Jiangsu, of course, they suffer from homesickness, so it is better to start from the aspect of eating!" Sister Ah Qiao answered. Because she understands that to please people, it is best to start from the aspect of eating.
"Yikes! You're right! Hu Xueyan looked at Sister Ah Qiao with a rewarding look.
As a result, Hu Xueyan diverged and collected Yunnan specialties in Jiangsu, such as Xuanwei ham, purple kohlrabi, chicken toe mushrooms and salted beef jerky. But these things are not easy to find. Although it was found, there were not many of them.
"Don't be afraid," Hu Xueyan said, "things are light and affectionate." Hu Xueyan thought to himself, he couldn't find his own relationship, let alone others?
Therefore, he wrapped up these four-colored local specialties, together with Wang Youling's letter and the 5,000 silver tickets, and entrusted them to He Guiqing.
He Guiqing was already deeply impressed by Hu Xueyan from Wang Youling's side, and he had already wanted to make friends with Hu Xueyan, but he did not have a chance. I was overjoyed to receive the gift this time. He was so happy, and he didn't know whether it was because he had the opportunity to know Hu Xueyan, or if he had the 5,000 silver tickets, or because he had the opportunity to eat the local products of his hometown, in short, this joy he had never had.
That night, Hu Xueyan was bored in the inn and did not know what to do, only talking with Sister Ah Qiao, when suddenly the messenger came to report: He Xuetai personally visited. ”
"Yikes! He was just wearing civilian clothes. The doorman said.
"That's fine," Hu Xueyan said, "I don't have to change my clothes to greet me." Saying that, he ran out the door and met He Guiqing.
Looking head-on, Hu Xueyan saw this arrogant and noble He Guiqing, who was more advanced than the king, and he was also magnificent. Hu Xueyan smiled and asked an ann, saying, "Lord He, I really don't dare to be." ”
"Please get up, please get up!" He Guiqing arched his hand and said, "I believe that your excellency is Brother Hu Xueyan." ”
"Don't dare to be, it is Hu Xueyan who is underneath." Hu Xueyan said as he led He Guiqing forward.
After everyone sat down, He Guiqing said, "I have heard a lot about the talent of the elder brother from Wang Youling, and God has been friends for a long time, so I have come to see you." ”
"I really don't dare to be, thanks to the appreciation of Lord He, Xueyan is really fortunate to have three lives..." Hu Xueyan said hurriedly. He was nervous for a moment, and he didn't know how to say it.
After sitting down, He Guiqing found that there was a mirror box for his daughter's family on the countertop, and two pieces of women's clothing, so he asked in passing: "Bao's family is also here, then I am inconvenient to stay." ”
"Might as well, might as well." Hu Xueyan turned his head and shouted, "Ah Qiao, come out to meet Old Master He." ”
As soon as Hu Xueyan finished speaking, a beautiful child with skin like snow and moving like a willow came out, twisted her waist and called out, "Old Master He."
"What do you call it?" Is it Mrs. Sister-in-law?" He Guiqing asked.
"No, it's not." Hu Xueyan didn't know who Sister Ah Qiao was, so he had to say, "It's okay to call her Sister Ah Qiao." ”
Therefore, Ah Qiao took out the tea tray, brewed a pot of dragon well for them, and said casually: "Travel inn, there is no greeting, I am really sorry." ”
"You're welcome, you're welcome." He Guiqing said to Hu Xueyan again: "I am really grateful for the generous gift." In this era of war, it is not easy to eat the delicacies of your hometown. ”
It just so happened that Sister Ah Qiao brought four fruit plates, on which were foreign sugar, dates, fragrant seeds from Hangzhou, and huangdai melon seeds near Kunshan, and was greeting He Guiqing, and Hu Xueyan replied: "These native products are all the ideas of Sister Ah Qiao." Lord He listened, and then looked at Sister Ah Qiao, and the two looked at each other, and Sister Ah Qiao's face turned red. I don't know if I was embarrassed by Hu Xueyan's praise, or if I was embarrassed by He Guiqing.
He Guiqing looked at Sister Ah Qiao as embarrassed, so he found another word to say, "When did you arrive?"
"Just arrived today."
"From Hangzhou?"
"No, from Shanghai." Hu Xueyan said, "I have admired the adults for a long time and wanted to see them, so I came to visit and visit the local scenic spots by the way, stopping here for three or five days." ”
"Brother is really blessed," He Guiqing said, "when there is war, you can also travel with your partner, it is really a great pleasure in life." ”
Sister Ah Qiao listened, looked at the young and handsome high-ranking official in front of her, and thought to herself that the gongzi and zhuangyuan in Mr. Shu's mouth were believed to be the appearance of the characters in front of them, who relied on the sword of Shangfang to eliminate harm for the people.
Sister Ah Qiao was thinking about He Guiqing, and He Guiqing was thinking about Sister Ah Qiao: "What is her relationship with Hu Xueyan?" Since it is not a wife and concubine, who is he?" As He Guiqing spoke, he was thinking that what Hu Xueyan asked was just right. What a powerful figure Hu Xueyan was, just by glancing at it, he could see it clearly.
When Sister Ah Qiao came out of the hall door, He Guiqing woke up, and only then did he realize that he was a bit lost and depressed, and if he stayed any longer, he would be ugly, so he bid farewell to Hu Xueyan: "It is better to have dinner tonight, I have something to ask my brother for advice." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Hu Xueyan said very politely.
"Brother Xueyan," He Guiqing said, "you have a good friendship with your elderly brother, and he often tells me that you are a good friend who is "resourceful and can share the liver and gallbladder", and I have some things to discuss with you." ”
"Then," said Hu Xueyan, "we'll see you tonight!" ”
As soon as He Guiqing left, Sister Ah Qiao stepped forward and spoke, "This Lord He is also very young. ”
"Yes," Hu Xueyan replied, remembering the look on the faces of the two of them just now, and couldn't help but say sourly: "He is only three or five years older than you, and he is just worthy of you." ”
"The mouth is always not repeated." Sister Ah Qiao sniffled and gave him a blank look.
It was not easy, and when it was dusk, He Guiqing sent a palanquin to pick up Hu Xueyan. While sitting on the palanquin, Hu Xueyan was thinking, getting to know He Guiqing, it is like encountering a money-making business, he has a relationship in the official field, and he has a relationship in the foreign field, then, his development in the shopping mall is naturally like a fish. Hu Xueyan calmly thought that this was a single business, considering from the perspective of interests, and could not involve any feelings. Even so, thinking about the attitudes of He Guiqing and Sister Ah Qiao, my heart couldn't help but sour again. But he was a businessman after all, and his goal was to build a career, and the private affairs of his children were relatively secondary to him.
He Guiqing was extremely friendly, warm and polite, and there was no shelf of an official at all, or he admired Hu Xueyan's talent. The two met, talked happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
After eating, the two drank some more wine and talked very closely. The two people became less and less separated, and even the idleness of life was involved.
"Brother Xueyan, I have something to ask." He Guiqing said a little shyly, paused for a while, saw Hu Xueyan always looking at him and waiting for him to continue, had to continue: "My insider is very virtuous, but her health is very poor, she always wants me to take a concubine, to take care of my travel life, but I am in Jiangsu, taking the people as concubines, the prohibition of big cadres, unknown ..."
"Ah! I can pay attention to this aspect. Hu Xueyan has always been good at matchmaking for people, so he asked, "What are the conditions?" Lord Ho. ”
"Probably like Sister Ah Qiao, it can also be." He Guiqing replied.
"Oh! Sister A Qiao in general. Hu Xueyan's heart flooded with a sour feeling, although he was busy with career development, he did not have much interest in Sister Ah Qiao, but it was not the same as wanting to give up on her, and now Lord He made a request, did he let Ah Qiao give it to him or not to let it?
The ancients had the grace to buy concubines and give them to friends, and there was also a great general named Nian Qianyao in Hangzhou, who had many concubines around him, but when he went bankrupt and raided his home, he tried his best to dismiss the maids around him to his friends.
After thinking about it for a round, Hu Xueyan was also relieved in his heart, he thought that there was no need to spoil a big thing for a woman, not to mention that he was not particularly interesting to Sister Ah Qiao, rather than occupying it instead of using it, it was better to give it to others.
"Well, why look everywhere?" Hu Xueyan said, "A good sister Ah Qiao is already in front of us." “
Finally, Hu Xueyan arranged for the marriage of He Guiqing and Sister Ah Qiao.
The next issue is more exciting, so stay tuned.
