Chapter 187: daughter diplomacy

Wang Guorui led Zheng Hong to the first row, which is the location of foreign consulates in Taiwan. :/// And countries have also set up consulates in Taiwan, which is to facilitate exchanges between countries and Taiwan. The reason why Taiwan is a consulate is because Taiwan is not a country, so only consulates can be established, and they are managed by the ministers stationed in China. But this is more in name, because the consul often reports directly to the domestic diplomatic department, and does not accept the management of the country's minister. After all, Taiwan's strength is stronger than that of the Qing Dynasty, so the level is also All improved.

"Minister James, this is my wife and I respecting you!" Wang Guorui said to British Consul James.

The consuls of various countries are in the first row, so Wang Guorui must toast first. The reason why the foreign consular personnel are given the first row is because this is arranged by the Office of Friendship and Liaison with Foreign Countries, because foreign consuls are regarded as foreign guests, and necessary preferential treatment is still required. What's more, China has been friendly and hospitable since ancient times. Although they are future enemies, at least they are "friends" until they turn their faces, so it is normal to treat foreign friends preferentially. This proposal has won the support of many people in the country, and Wang Guorui is not easy to object. So they were in the first row, and when Wang Guorui toasted, he always toasted them first.

"The second row, that's our important person in Taiwan!" Wang Guorui thought.

The second row is the important figures in Taiwan. On the far left are the Premier Ouyang Xuan and Chief of Staff Hu Wei. And the ones behind are all civil and military officials, they are the directors of various departments and the president of the court, and the military officers are also military officers with the rank of colonel and colonel. They are arranged in the second row, from left to right.

"Ouyang, Hu Wei, you drink, thank you for helping me!" Wang Guorui said.

Soon, the next ones were arranged one by one, and at the end. Wang Guorui unexpectedly found a stranger.

"Sir, who are you?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Hmph!" The man didn't bother to answer, obviously not very enthusiastic about Wang Guorui.

Wang Guorui murmured in his heart, who is this? I haven't seen it myself, let alone have a bad impression of myself. And who arranged this? If an uninvited guest came, I'm afraid that my wedding might be disturbed, and that would be a big problem. In his heart, Wang Guorui also began to want to hold those office officials accountable. After all, they actually came up with this matter and invited someone who was not friendly to them, it was too ignorant.

"Governor Wang, this is Yu Geng, the director of the Taiwan Office sent by the imperial court to Taiwan! Our Office of Friendship and Liaison with Foreign Countries also arranged them in the second row instead of the first row, because he is a senior member of the imperial court. .” Li Enfu said.

"Well, it seems that you still understand the truth!" Wang Guorui said.

Wang Guorui was quite satisfied with Li Enfu, because he arranged Yu Geng, the director of the imperial court's Taiwan Office, in the second row, and Representative An was from his own country. It's not like there are foreigners in the first row. The second row is the position of an important minister in Taiwan, and there is no problem for Yu Geng, the director of the imperial court's Taiwan Office. But Yu Geng was an out-and-out supporter of the Qing Dynasty, because he was a Manchu, that's why he was like this. Few Manchus would have a good impression of Wang Guorui.

"Director Yu Geng, I respect you!" Wang Guorui said.

Yu Geng picked up the wine glass very disdainfully, and then drank a glass of dull wine without saying a word.

"You are the traitor of my Qing Dynasty, Wang Guorui? My father scolded you to death, and you still invite your father to drink now. You are so hypocritical." A little girl's voice came.

And Yu Geng suddenly showed a frightened expression on his face. He looked at his little daughter, who was only nine years old, and felt a sudden fear in his heart. His daughter actually said in front of Wang Guorui that he was a traitor to the court, isn't this courting death? The reason why Yu Geng was sent here was to ease the relationship between the mainland and Taiwan. But this own daughter was so rude, and directly said that Wang Guorui was a traitor to the court, which made Yu Geng very depressed. And my daughter is young and ignorant, and she actually said what she scolded Wang Guorui behind her back, can this not embarrass Yu Geng?

"Hehe. Tongyan Wuji, Tongyan Wuji!" Wang Guorui immediately laughed, apparently not taking it seriously.

Of course, it is impossible for Wang Guorui to turn against Yu Geng here, let alone because of a little girl's words?

"Director Yu Geng, who are these two little girls?" Wang Guorui asked.

The older Loli, about twelve years old, immediately said, "My name is Yu Deling, and my sister's name is Yu Rongling."

"So it's Princess De Ling?" Wang Guorui thought to himself.

Of course Wang Guorui had heard of the name Yu Deling, because this Yu Deling was later a famous foreign writer, and she was the daughter of Yu Geng, an official of the Qing Dynasty. According to the tradition of the Manchus, any daughter born must be registered as a candidate for the emperor's concubine selection. But Yu Geng did not do this, he took the initiative to conceal the birth of his daughter. But maybe it is precisely because of this that his two daughters have achieved good results. Yu Deling was a later writer, and she was also a beautiful woman. And his younger sister Yu Rongling is also a dancer, a disciple of the famous dancer Isadora Duncan, and the only Chinese student of Isadora Duncan.

"How can such a frustrated person give birth to two excellent daughters?" Wang Guorui looked at Yu Geng and thought helplessly in his heart.

"Miss De Ling, Miss Rong Ling, what are you going to do in the future?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Governor Wang, I want to express my feelings towards the world with words!" De Ling said.

And Wang Guorui immediately said: "So I wanted to be a writer, not bad!"

"Rong Ling, what about you?" Wang Guorui asked again.

"When I was in France, my tutor told me that I had a talent for dancing. But now that my father has returned to China, I can't learn to dance!" Rong Ling said.

"In that case, I'll hire you a foreign dance teacher, what do you think?" Wang Guorui asked.

"Really, that's great! You are such a good person!" Rong Ling said.

Wang Guorui was speechless, he was indeed a child, he seemed to regard Wang Guorui as a traitor just now, but now he seems to be a good person again. And Yu Geng's face was dark, apparently because he was very dissatisfied with Wang Guorui's overreaching to help him decide his daughter's future. But this is Wang Guorui's territory, and Yu Geng has no choice but to drink in silence.

"Enfu, you go and call your daughters Li Li and Li Sha in a few days, and go to exchange feelings with Mr. Yu Geng. Wouldn't it be nice to let your daughter play with his daughter?" Wang Guo Ray said.

And Li Enfu asked in surprise, "Why?"

"Haven't you heard about Madam's diplomacy? From now on, you will be mainly responsible for our exchanges between Taiwan and the mainland, and your main communication partner is Yu Geng, and of course the whole family must communicate. Yes. Of course, your daughter should take advantage of this good opportunity to build a good relationship with Yu Geng's daughter. They are daughters anyway, so I'm not afraid of any problems." Wang Guorui said.

Li Enfu was speechless, Wang Guorui actually wanted to play daughter diplomacy. Li Enfu had only heard of his wife's diplomacy, but this was the first time he had heard of his daughter's diplomacy, which surprised Li Enfu. However, Li Enfu is also a foreign student, so he can understand this aspect very well.

As a family member of a diplomat, it is natural that the whole family must be prepared to go into battle. To a large extent, the family members of diplomats have to cooperate with the work of diplomats. In later generations, the Chinese government also specially paid salaries to the wives, sons and children of diplomats, which can be regarded as special subsidies. After all, since they are family members of diplomats, it is inevitable that they will also participate in diplomatic work together, so the country should give them additional subsidies. As for Wang Guorui's request, it is actually not an excessive request from a diplomatic point of view. Especially at the end of the 19th century, it is even more necessary to integrate with Westerners, and it is inevitable that the family members of diplomats must participate in foreign exchanges. Therefore, Wang Guorui took the initiative to let Li Enfu's family members participate in foreign affairs. This is not something that is incomprehensible, and Li Enfu does not feel that there is anything abnormal.

"Alright~lightnovelpub.net~Master Wang, then I will definitely join the battle with the whole family, and then Li Li and Li Sha will go to have a good relationship with Yu Geng's daughter!" Li Enfu said.

Wang Guorui thought to himself: "This Li Li and Li Sha will be raised for a few more years. If I can let them be with De Ling and Rong Ling now, then I can catch four mermaids at once with one net. !"

No one knows Wang Guorui's evil intentions. The reason why he made Li Li and Li Sha, two mixed-race lolis, befriend De Ling and Rong Ling, is just to let them play together, so that Wang Guorui will pick up girls in the future. The time can be much easier, and it will not be soaked separately. At that time, Wang Guorui can make friends with four loli at once, so that they will not have to be separated in the future, what a waste of time!

Anyway, this Yu Deling and Yu Rongling will not only be beautiful women in the future, but also talented women. This is definitely not to be missed. Based on the principle that there are many beautiful women, few talented women, and very few beautiful talented women, if you don't accept them, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

And Yu Geng never dreamed that his two daughters would be targeted by this strange uncle Wang Guorui. If he knew what kind of person Wang Guorui was, he would rather resign than come to Taiwan to serve. (To be continued.)
