late Qing Dynasty arrest

The carriage was approaching Dengcao Hutong, where the original Wei Mansion was located. Xie Xiuzhu broke free from Li Guolou's arms, sat down again, and said, "The small building is coming to my house soon, do you think you are going through the main entrance or the back entrance?" Looking at Li Guolou's face with a pair of delicate eyes, his smile was a little weird, as if he was making fun of Li Guolou for being a worthless idiot.

Li Guolou had all kinds of emotions in his heart, flustered, timid, cowardly, and of course excited most of all. The feeling of being teased by the two veterans made him think about the crazy actions of the three of them all day long, and he didn't even think about going to work.Seeing Xie Xiuzhu's expression, Li Guolou felt a kind of anger in his heart, and wished he could put Xie Xiuzhu under him now and fight crazily.

"Go to the front door! Second Grandma, let's go in together!" Li Guolou used his trump card to drive Xie Xiuzhu to a corner.

"Go! Look at you, kill me. You sit in the carriage first, and I'll get someone to carry your luggage for you." Xie Xiuzhu beat Li Guolou a few times to let him know that she was not easy to mess with.

The layout of the rich people's rooms is roughly the same. In front of them is the incense hall, which enshrines the ancestor's spiritual tablet and Wei Wenshao's spiritual tablet. It is inevitable that Li Guolou will offer three sticks of incense to the dead Wei Wenshao.I feel a little guilty in my heart, avenging someone's grievances, but here comes a man who takes money and sex.The wing rooms on both sides are where the servants live, and through the corridor is the living room, which is decorated with exquisite nanmu furniture.Going further inside, there is an arched door, which is the owner's inner courtyard.

Here Xie Xiuzhu is the boss, and just crossed the threshold, Li Guolou's hand was held by Xie Xiuzhu, and she said softly: "Xiaolou, you are not afraid now. I can even hear your heartbeat, and said that I am brave Big."

Li Guolou was a little worried, and said, "Second Grandma, and Lingling."

Xie Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lingling is a smart child. We have already bought her. She already knows that I am the real Second Mistress, so she won't make any fuss."

The grass and trees in the inner courtyard are withered and withered, covered with thick snow. In the pool of the garden, a figure is skating on it. It is Zheng Lingling who is learning to skate, holding a bench in her hand, and the bench moves forward every time she takes a step .

Li Guolou was the first to see Zheng Lingling, and said anxiously, "Second Grandma, isn't this nonsense, Lingling is so young, who let her play on the ice."

Xie Xiuzhu shook off Li Guolou's hand, and said softly, "Xiaolou, you are so bad. You are so fierce to me, so I will ignore you." After speaking, she ran to the pool, and also walked to the ice, and a Turning around on the spot, he raised his voice and said, "Xiaolou, how about it, I'm better than you."

Although Li Guolou can skate, he doesn't dare to mess around here. Although there are no male servants in the inner courtyard, the maid and Xie Ma will see him. He will be the master in this family from now on, so he should have some dignity.

Li Guolou urged Zheng Lingling to come up a few times. Children are addicted to playing, and adults can't help it.Zheng Lingling was in high spirits, she didn't listen to anyone's words, she still moved the small bench and walked on the ice.

Li Guolou was relieved when he saw a young woman standing in the courtyard looking at Zheng Lingling. The ice layer was more than a foot thick in this weather, and people couldn't fall into the ice hole.

Li Guolou looked at Xie Xiuzhu and Zheng Lingling walking on the ice, feeling a bit strange. What kind of family did he form?Now that he has a ready-made daughter, he can live a life of clothes, hands, food, and mouth, enjoying family happiness.Why!A woman is pregnant with a hero's tomb.Li Guolou seemed to have no motivation. He didn't want to start a business all of a sudden, and it was meaningless to be busy outside all day.How good it is to stay in this isolated place, watching his daughter grow up slowly, caring for the people around him, this kind of life suits him.

Walking into the dining room, which was as warm as spring, Li Guolou handed over his coat to Xie Xiuzhu, and saw a hot pot on the dining table, and a circle of cold dishes.A seductive aroma wafted from the hot pot, and Li Guolou couldn't help but want to sit down.

Chen Xiangfang walked in and shouted angrily: "Xiaolou, if you don't know how to wash your face and hands when you come back, you should set an example. Lingling will take Xiaolou to wash your hands!"

Li Guolou was also dissatisfied, and said: "I thought you were making delicious food, but it turned out that you were lazy and ate hot pot. I also eat hot pot at noon, and I lost my appetite after eating two meals a day."

Xie Xiuzhu squinted and said, "Then do you want me to feed you so you can eat it?"

Chen Xiangfang was extremely dissatisfied, and said angrily: "Xiaolou, you are opening your mouth for food. We have been busy all day. Hot pot is the most test of knife skills. Do you know how long it will take to prepare these dishes?" The things in the store are arranged, and I have to do the work of supporting my daughter. I haven't had a rest all day, and I am exhausted.

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Lingling, let's ignore them, you can see if they are fierce to me, you can't imitate them." After speaking, he took Zheng Lingling's hand obediently, and went to wash their hands and face together.

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Mom said, you are the third child here, and I am the fourth child. You can only order me, so we must unite and speak out as one." She seemed to be the hostess, leading Li Guo The building crossed the threshold, and Zheng Lingling knew every door opening here like the back of her hand.

A bottle of French red wine given to Chen Xiangfang by Li Guolou was placed on the table, and everyone poured a glass of wine.Li Guolou saw that the maids serving behind him were two young girls who were not yet twelve or thirteen years old, so he couldn't help asking strangely: "Second Grandma, where did these two girls come from?"

Xie Xiuzhu said: "Oh, my name is Xie Ma and I bought it newly. Some people in the original mansion were dismissed, you understand. I don't know how to use people who are worried."

Li Guolou glanced at the two little girls, and said, "Second Mistress, let them go to the store to learn art in the future. The inner courtyard will use the old lady in the future, you know." He has already seen from the eyes of the two little maids. The evil in their hearts, being a detective is a foresight induction, and the two little maids will not be good in the future.

Li Guolou's thighs were twisted viciously by the two grandmas, "What a disrespectful master!" "You still say such things while eating."

"Hey, I don't know why, when the little girl sees me now, it's like a fly seeing rotten meat, and she wants to burrow into me. I'm prepared for any danger, you two have to understand." Li Guolou said smugly.

"I know! Besides Wen Shuijuan, who you despise and kicked for Little Six!" Chen Xiangfang gritted her silver teeth and asked with a hidden knife in her smile.

Li Guolou said anxiously: "Be careful with your words, the little six will know, don't mention this matter in the future."

Zheng Lingling took a sip of red wine and interjected, "I know why Xiaolou is so popular with girls?"

The two little maids next to her pursed their lips and laughed secretly, Xie Xiuzhu said: "Then what does Lingling know?"

Zheng Lingling ignored her mother's scolding, and said: "Xiaolou is generous, spending money to please girls, who would like a cheapskate?"

Li Guolou was dissatisfied and said, "Oh, I know how to spend money. Lingling, you underestimate Uncle Xiaolou too."

Chen Xiangfang scolded: "Lingling, call me Daddy here, and Xiaolou outside, remember?"

Zheng Lingling took another sip of red wine, and said softly: "Mom, you taught me so many rules today, how can I remember them? If I drink today, I will get drunk today. I will teach you tomorrow."

Xie Xiuzhu giggled and said, "Lingling, like Xiaolou, is also an alcoholic."

Li Guolou retorted: "Lingling only drinks half a glass of red wine, it's okay."

Xie Xiuzhu sighed: "It's good to be rich! Xiaolou, you want to make more money. I'm just sitting on the mountain and I've found out all my family fortunes. The good days will depend on you in the future."

Antiques, if they can't be sold, they are just decorations and have no value.The so-called value is a kind of comfort to the collectors. Xie Xiuzhu has been spending money during this time, and she is about to spend all the cash at home.

Li Guolou also saw Xie Xiuzhu's plight, and knew that he would have a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. It seemed that he could not sit back and enjoy the benefits, but still had to work hard to make money.

"Second Mistress, after half a year I will finish decorating the house, and you can sell it, which will save a lot of money. It's better for the whole family to live together, don't you think?"

"Dirty!" The two grandmas whispered next to Li Guolou's ears. They had the same idea, and they all thought about the big swaying mahogany bed.

Zheng Lingling kept staring at Li Guolou with her sneaky eyes. She felt strange why she moved to a stranger's house. She didn't know what the relationship between mother and Xie Xiuzhu was?Why does my mother say that she is grown up and needs to sleep alone.A lot of weird things happened just these few days, isn't Xiaolou and mother not married yet?Then why can they live together, anyway, she saw that the behavior of her mother and Xiaolou was abnormal.But for the sake of living in a big house, she refrained from asking, and would scan them one by one to hear clearly.

Hot pot is supposed to be a long-term battle, but there is something abnormal here. Li Guolou was asked to eat more, but the two grandmas finished eating quickly, and took Zheng Lingling to take a bath first.

Li Guolou looked at the rest of the dishes and said to the little maid, "Cuihua, Qiuju, have you eaten? There are still some uneaten here, you take them to the kitchen." Eat. If Mama Xie wants to eat, you can share half of it and let her bring it to her husband to eat."

Hot pot cooking is a lot of food, and Chen Xiangfang prepared too much. She wanted to show her knife skills and food cooking level, making a lot of meatballs, and wearing hot food.

As soon as Cuihua, Qiu Ju and Li Guolou met each other, they knew that the master would not beat and scold, and was a kind-hearted person.Cuihua smiled and said, "Master, let's move the hot pot away."

Li Guolou was kind-hearted, and said: "Cuihua, Qiuju, clean up after you finish eating. Be careful not to drop the plate, Xie Ma will scold you to death."

According to the rules of big families, maids cannot sit in front of the master's table to eat, they eat in the kitchen.Usually the servants eat together, but the people in the inner courtyard are not necessarily. Sometimes they eat the same meals as the master's family.Therefore, the servants of the big families are divided into three, six, and nine grades, and the life of the close maids is many times better than that of ordinary people.So this kind of maids have high vision, they all want to join the boat of their master, and they are unwilling to marry the servants of the outer court, they will not live through the hard life.No matter how rich the rich family is, there are maids who serve as close servants, and maids who take care of the master's diet and daily life are masters.Mother Xie is like this here, once she leaves the inner courtyard, she becomes a half-master when she goes to the outer courtyard, and everyone must obey her orders.

Li Guolou watched the two little maids busy carrying hot pots and dishes, and wanted to help them carry them together, but he didn't dare.He had to follow the rules in everything, and there were some things he couldn't do here, and if he did it, he would make people gossip.For many years, he has not lived a life of clothes, hands, food, and mouth. He relies on himself in everything, lives independently, and develops an independent character.Li Guolou wanted to adapt to this kind of life, but felt that he was not used to it.
