The dark clouds in the sky were pressing down very low, and the building gate at the top of the city seemed to be so overwhelmed. The two stone lions in front of the Zhili Governor's Office were staring as wide as ever, quietly examining the pedestrians walking in a hurry on the road in front of the door.

A bolt of lightning teared open the dark curtain of the creation of dark clouds, and the earth was trembling with a muffled thunder.

A middle-aged man with a calm expression walked out of the yamen slowly. Goshha in front of the yamen recognized Sheng Xuanhuai, a popular man in front of the yamen. One of them hurriedly stepped forward and called a thousand: "Sir, come out!"

Yugoshiha printed out the gate, and a sedan chair had been waiting by the door. Chang Sui Shengfu came up and bowed to greet him, "Sir! Are you going back now?"

"Go back!" Sheng Xuanhuai turned around and looked into the depths of the yamen, bent down and put on a sedan chair.

Just now, when he met Master Zhongtang in the inner hall, Li Hongzhang came up and scolded him, which really made Sheng Xuanhuai feel relieved. He knew that the misappropriation of customs money, grain and supplies for telegraphs was not much. The political enemies in the court used this matter to attack Master Zhongtang, and were suppressed by the two palaces because of the sudden tension in the relationship between China and France.

"I didn't expect that person would have such insights! He could predict the result of the matter in advance. I was appreciated and supported by the Lord Zhongtang, but I couldn't see through this section. I was really confused by the authorities." The words above flashed through my mind, and Sheng Xuanhuai couldn't help but sighed softly and smiled mockingly.

The person Sheng Xuanhuai thought of was a young man who was unconscious in front of Sheng Mansion five days ago. The man dressed in a foreign style and did not wear braids. At a glance, he knew that he was a Chinese who returned from overseas.

That night, spring thunder rang all night. The next morning when the doorman opened, he saw a young man unconscious in front of the door and hurriedly came forward to visit him. Seeing that there was still breath, he carried him back. Afterwards, the housekeeper also reported the matter, but it was just a matter of being worried about embezzling customs money and food, and he did not take it to heart. He just told the housekeeper to handle it properly and wait for his illness to be taken away. He never thought that he would come to the hospital at noon today to take a breath, and heard several families discussing their impeachment privately.

At that time, Sheng Xuanhuai was very angry and was about to find a housekeeper to punish these servants who were ignorant of the nobles. He never thought that one of them laughed and said, "Mr. Shan is responsible for the telegraph business. Master Zhongtang has always regarded Mr. Shan as his strongest task. The court is in trouble now. I think Mr. Zhongtang will do his best to protect Mr. Shan, and the two palaces will also give Mr. Zhongtang this face. If the steward knows and tells him, he will not spare you. Furthermore, what the steward does is all about the country, and it is not a duty to be the master of the subordinate to the emperor, but it is not a duty to be a person?"

These words that were very pleasing to the taste made Sheng Xuanhuai suddenly feel enlightened. When Li Hongzhang sent someone to summon him, the pressure that had troubled his heart for many days had gone away unconsciously, and his eyebrows were also opened a lot. He secretly looked at the person who was talking. He was a young man without braids and shaved hair. Then he remembered that the butler mentioned the matter of saving people.

The weather is about to change, the porter walks fast and steadily, and the cloth soles are rubbing on the ground from time to time, making rustling sounds.

"Sheng Fu." He opened the curtain of the sedan chair and shouted. Sheng Fu, who was following the sedan chair, hurriedly approached: "Sir! What are the instructions?"

"Have you found out the origin of the man rescued by the concierge?"

"Sir! The man's name is Shen Congyun, whose courtesy name is Zigui. My grandfather was originally a scholar. He went to the West with a Macau and Portuguese missionary. Later, he married a foreign woman as his wife and stayed in the West. Zigui returned from the West a few days ago and never thought about the plot of evil people in the city and fell into a coma before the gate." Sheng Fu's answer was concise and clear, and he was obviously far from satisfied with Sheng Xuanhuai.

"So, let him come to see me when he goes back." Sheng Xuanhuai explained and put down the curtain.

After two consecutive thunder sounds, thin raindrops floated down obliquely, and with the gentle south wind, they fell on the stone bench beside the pavilion for people to rest. Chen Congyun narrowed his eyes and still leaned on the pillars, letting the drizzle fall on his face, his eyes were helpless and confused.

In my previous life, an ordinary white-collar worker liked to read history books, surf the Internet, and travel. To celebrate his 26th birthday, I played a self-driving tour and planned to go to Tibet for a walk. I didn't know why the car brake failed on the road and rolled down the cliff. After waking up, I was in this courtyard.

When he woke up, Chen Congyun saw the quaint decorations around the house and the servant Sheng Xiaoqi with long braids, and thought he was dazzled. As a result, Sheng Xiaoqi, who was responsible for taking care of him, saw him open his eyes and cheered: "Wake up! Wake up!" As he spoke the Tianjin man's tone, he ran out happily, Chen Congyun realized something was wrong.

Afterwards, Chen Congyun thought of it and shook his head with a wry smile, boldly guessing that after he traveled through time, he carefully paid attention to his words and deeds. After the butler Sheng Rong who arrived later, he confirmed that this place was indeed after the Qing Dynasty. Chen Congyun fainted, which made the butler Sheng Rong busy for a while.

In 1884, Li Hongzhang and Sheng Xuanhuai. These two names are not unfamiliar with Chen Congyun, who likes history. One is the pillar of the building that struggled to support the shaky winds and winds in the late Qing Dynasty, and the other is the famous politician, entrepreneur and welfare businessman in the late Qing Dynasty.

Especially Li Hongzhang, who worked hard to support the stormy Qing Dynasty, died after death. Although there was a place of infamy behind him, the Westernization Movement advocated and led by Li Hongzhang was also aimed at enriching the country, strengthening the army and revitalizing the nation?

The biggest confusion before Shen Congyun was what can I do in this world? What do I want to do? This world was only seen in history books and movies and TV before, and it was not familiar, nor was it unfamiliar. I had no ambitions in my previous life, but I was just satisfied with the life of a white-collar worker. I was really confused at this moment.

At this moment, Chen Congyun didn't know that what he said at noon was beyond his admiration for Sheng Xuanhuai's generation of celebrities had been accidentally heard by Sheng Xuanhuai.

"Mr. Chen, why are you here? Let me find it easy." Sheng Fu shouted and pulled Chen Congyun Cong back from his confused thoughts. Looking back, Sheng Fu was holding a tart cloth umbrella and ran away in a breath.

"Brother Sheng, what's the matter with me?" Chen Congyun learned the actions he saw in the film and television, bowed and smiled.

Chen Congyun had short hair and was wearing the long gown of the housekeeper Sheng Rong. It looked a little out of place with the surroundings. Sheng Fu was a person who walked by Sheng Xuanhuai for many years, and his eyesight was certainly good. Not to mention the other things, but the confidence that Chen Congyun developed in many years of white-collar worker careers always had a neither humble nor arrogant attitude even when he lived under the roof. He lived in the room of his servants these days, and among a group of servants with servile faces, he seemed outstanding. Sheng Fu had seen Chen Congyun several times and felt that this son was extraordinary and would have a prosperous future.

Although Sheng Fu was a person around Sheng Xuanhuai, he did not dare to be negligent about Chen Congyun. He came forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Chen killed him. He was lucky to walk by the master. His husband is a scholar and has great knowledge. How dare he call his brothers and brothers to him?"

Chen Congyun was still polite, and Sheng Fu quickly said, "The master is waiting for the sir in the study. Mr. Hurry up and follow me." After that, Sheng Fu held an umbrella for Chen Congyun in front and led Chen Congyun to the study.

When he saw Chen Congyun appearing at the door, Sheng Xuanhuai stood up from the chair and bowed his hand to express his apology and said, "Brother Chen! I have been busy with official duties recently and have never had time to visit Mr. Hunting. I just heard that the butler placed the Mr. Hun in the room of his servant. Xuan Huai accused him of his crime."

Ordinary Bai Ding and people with fame cannot be called brothers. Chen Congyun, who likes history, still knows this. Not to mention that Sheng Xuanhuai has an official position, he actually called "Brother Chen", which made Chen Congyun hurriedly bowed: "Sir, Bai Ding, next time, I dare not call him brothers and brothers."

Sheng Xuanhuai said in a slight anger: "Brother Chen is bullying me without any knowledge?"

Chen Congyun was stunned and said, "Sir, where do you start?"

"Brother Chen has an extraordinary demeanor. He must have been to a university in the West and got a degree. A Western degree is equivalent to the fame of my Qing Dynasty, so Sheng still knows this."

After Sheng Xuanhuai said that, Chen Congyun realized that he was a bachelor's degree in his previous life, which was almost the same as what Sheng Xuanhuai said.

"This..." Chen Congyun was speechless for a moment and could not continue the conversation. Sheng Xuanhuai looked at Chen Congyun with natural eyes and knew that he had guessed correctly. Min Hong also graduated from Yale University in the United States and was highly appreciated by Li Hongzhang. Now there is another person who has studied in college abroad, and Sheng Xuanhuai has a desire to recruit him.

"Sit down and watch the tea!"

Chen Congyun sat down calmly, and Sheng Xuanhuai kept paying attention to every detail of Chen Congyun's movements. Seeing Chen Congyun carefully sitting down half of his butt, there was no charm that the low-ranking person often had, and there was a sense of confidence. Sheng Xuanhuai thought that this person had a good family education, but he didn't know what he learned, so he asked with a smile:

"Brother Chen came back from the West, can you tell me what happened in France today?"
