late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the evening, Li Guolou and Yelia left the Yinglun Guild Hall together, and went to the "Steig Tailor Clothing Store" opened by foreigners next door to buy underwear.Christmas is over, the door is still decorated with a Christmas tree, when Li Guolou pushed the door, the bell above his head rang.Two Western women and two men from the Qing Dynasty, all dressed in western clothes, said in unison: "Welcome."

The bearded boss knew Yelia, bowed and said: "Ms. Yelia, thank you for visiting our store."

Yelia took off the sheepskin gloves gracefully, handed them to a female shop assistant, and said insincerely, "Thank you!"

Li Guolou took two sets of underwear and ten pairs of woolen socks, and under Yelia's bewitching, he bought four lace shirts. Yelia was still not satisfied, so he chose five ties and two bow ties for Li Guolou. Pair of ankle boots.The trousers need to be changed, but Li Guolou doesn't want to bother, and he doesn't want to try on the trousers.

Yelia said dissatisfiedly: "Mike and I are going to wear something bright and beautiful together. Try it on for me now, and I can get it tomorrow." After finishing talking, Li Guolou rolled his eyes. She paid for it all.

Yelia knows that Li Guolou has a small official position and plays an errand role among friends, so Li Guolou is now being raised by her.Smiling secretly in his heart, a man ten years younger is willing to marry her, which shows how attractive she is.

Then Li Guolou became a puppet and was commanded by an old tailor to measure his body, including the crotch, and order two custom-made suits for him.The figure of a person changes a little every year. The suits of the rich Westerners have to be customized every year, and they are asked to choose the fabric. The picky Yelia gave a variety of choices and rejected many proposals.

This is the criterion for the rich to spend money. They want the best service and spend time in the thrill of shopping.Li Guolou is less than 1.8 meters tall. Wearing short leather boots, he is about 1.8 meters tall. He is considered tall among the Qing people. His face is smooth without acne, fair complexion, and his eyes are longer than ordinary people. Look It looks a bit foreigner.Li Guolou wore a gray overcoat, braids coiled on top of his head, and a wide-brimmed top hat, which looked not much different from Westerners.

Yelia nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well, it's almost enough to walk next to me this way, and I'll get used to it after looking at my braids more."

Li Guolou stared at Yeliya with a charming smile. It's nice to ask a woman to spend money on soft food, and it's rewarding to spend a little energy if you get both man and money.

Li Guolou himself also likes to dress up, and he doesn't think spending time on shopping is a waste.But he knew how difficult it would be to accompany Yelia to buy women's clothing and cosmetics in the future. He was too picky and stubborn. He had to listen to her opinions and follow her aesthetic standards when buying anything.If you don't listen to him now, you'll still talk to him, but in the future, you promise to give orders to him in an orderly tone.

Yelia asked him to order five pairs of leather shoes at once. Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied. The size of the custom-made leather shoes has been measured now, and he will have to measure again in a few days. Isn't this a waste of time?Under Yelia's scolding, he had to agree even if he disagreed, and he would come to the Steiger clothing store to measure the size of the leather shoes another day.

Yelia finally chose a Tibetan cashmere gray woolen sweater and an Indian sari scarf for him. Li Guolou couldn't help but be very moved. These are luxury goods with a high value, and he can only look at them normally. , dare not waste money on it.

Now Yelia was willing to spend the money for him. For the first time, he said sincerely, "My dear, I will treat you well. I will sell you what you need."

Yelia slapped Li Guolou with a wave, and said softly, "Don't mess around, wait until you have money, you can't afford the things I want to buy now."

What do rich women want to buy?Gold watches with diamonds, precious stones and famous paintings are all in Li Guolou's house.He triumphantly said: "Yelia, you will regret it, let me think about it, I will give you an agate necklace first."

Yelia glanced and said, "Is there two little widows in the family?"

Li Guolou's face was hot, he lowered his head and said, "My daughter also has one."

Yelia sighed: "Well, I will reluctantly accept it first, and I will have whatever those two have in the future. Understand?"

"Understood!" Li Guolou didn't hesitate at all, he had figured out the way to deal with women, he couldn't be too obedient to them, and he had to lose his temper at ordinary times, so that they would coax him, who told him he was the youngest.Li Guolou recognized in his heart that it would be nice to find a rich widow with the spirit of self-sacrifice and dedication. Free accommodation and people asking how they are, willing to spend money on him.He is still a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and he has been trained to be a master in bed.

Li Guolou wrote a note asking the clerk to deliver the purchased things to his room, and left "Steig Tailor Clothing Store" with Yelia on his arm without holding anything in his hand.A voice came from behind, "Thank you for coming, welcome to come again next time."

Li Guolou sighed: "Yelia, have you seen it? It's better to do business with rich people. From now on, I will only do business with rich people, not poor people."

Yelia looked up at Li Guolou, and said softly, "Didn't you say you want to be a banker? Are you trying to cheat the poor of their money?"

Li Guolou retorted: "Honey, I have a strategic vision and a forward-looking perspective. What kind of business can make money, I just do the planning and reach out. If I really open a bank, I will take the title of director and become the major shareholder. I’m not interested in doing it. It’s so boring to deal with money every day. My girlfriend who has a child in my family was sent to do business by me. Another girlfriend is also interested in going out of the house. I’m thinking about what kind of business is suitable for her ? The Qing Empire was very feudal, and many business women were not suitable for it. Do you understand?"

Yelia snorted and said, "I don't want to do business, I want to enjoy life. But I am willing to be a shareholder of the bank."

Li Guolou's face turned blue immediately, and he said anxiously: "Yelia, don't think too much, the banking industry is very feudal and conservative, and there are no women in the West as bank shareholders, let alone in the East."

Yelia scolded angrily: "How is that impossible? You are a private bank, and all the rules are new. You make a rule that women can be shareholders. I must attend board meetings. I also want those stinky men to act according to my face." .” Thinking of the happy place, Yelia giggled coquettishly, became a nympho, and considered herself a big banker.

Li Guolou said: "Dear Yelia, I just mentioned my lofty ideals to you, and I didn't mean to cheat you of money. Didn't you say that you would not return the shares of White Shipping Company? How can there be money to be a bank shareholder? "

Yelia scolded: "Mike, don't you know the Western proverb that women change three times a day? I think it through now and don't listen to Robinson. It's still reasonable for you to mess with Little White. At the same time, I was either poisoned to death or committed suicide by jumping into the sea. It is better to lose money than to go bankrupt. You will be too late tomorrow, and you will accompany me to Tianjin the day after tomorrow. Don’t say you are not free.”

Yelia wants to sell the shares of "White Shipping Company". This means that the shares within the family cannot be sold to outsiders. If they want to sell to outsiders, they must get the consent of the family members, and the business can only take effect with a power of attorney.Otherwise, the sale would have no legal effect, that's why Little White bought Yelia's shares at a low price.

The banking industry in the West is a century-old brand, very conservative, controlled by the aristocrats, and the rich cannot enter the banking industry.So Yelia couldn't help being moved when he heard that Li Guolou could do banking business, and wanted to put his money into the banking industry.

It is now the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival will be half a month away. The Ministry of Criminal Justice is on a half-holiday, and the official business is not busy, but Li Guolou is at a loss. He still has two grandmas at home.How can I explain that it is already very difficult to not return home for two days, and then go to Tianjin with Yelia, isn't it courting death?

Li Guolou can only honestly say what is in his heart: "Yelia, my two girlfriends are very powerful, and they will know my every move. These two days I have been socializing with the chief and I have been fooling it. But theirs. The big brothers and sisters who feed and clothe me are coming soon. I haven’t figured out how to deal with this situation, so please forgive me. I will introduce you to a fake foreign devil. He is a lawyer and can make you eat less. Lost."

Yelia said: "Mike, do I need to worry about you as a lawyer? Since you have such a great ability, and you eat soft food from women at home, one is nothing, two is not too much, and three are nothing, you Just introduce me to your big brother and big sister together. I also want to see if I can adapt to your big family. If I can't adapt to us, we will break up. Isn't it just what you want?"

Yelia has a thick skin. This kind of socialite is a courtesan. To put it mildly, she likes to make friends with rich people.To put it bluntly, it is also a person who sells his body for money.She was attracted by Li Guolou's exotic atmosphere, coupled with Li Guolou's extraordinary talent, she couldn't extricate herself all of a sudden. In her opinion, cohabitation and marriage are two different things. She is happy now, the more exotic the better, and she will be happy in the future. It is possible to write a book "I Became a Concubine in the Qing Empire" and it will definitely become popular in the Western cultural circle.

(There are indeed similar Western memoirs that have been remade into movies, not the author's nonsense.) Li Guolou stopped in fright and said, "Yelia, you are joking."

Yelia still took Li Guolou's arm and led him to walk, and said softly: "Mike, you are already a British in your bones. The British are the thickest-skinned people in the world. They are like the fog in London that will never go away. What are you afraid of? Let's figure out how to deal with your two girlfriends during the candlelight dinner."

Li Guolou had no claim, so he could only enter the Yinglun Guild Hall with Yelia. This time, Li Guolou didn't even show his membership card. The doorman opened the door with a smile, and respectfully invited the prince Li Guolou and princess Yelia to the ball. Enter the Gold Cave.Li Guolou became famous overnight, and all the foreign devils in the capital knew that there was such a fake foreign devil who had studied abroad and snatched away the mistress of the great businessman Robinson.

Yelia went to a lounge on the side and called out her maid Sherry Jones. The two spoke French for a while, and then Sheryl bowed her knees to Li Guolou and said: " Hello Mr. Mike, excuse me."

Li Guolou quickly took off his hat, lowered his head to insist on Xie Rui, and watched Xie Rui as he left the Yinglun Guild Hall.

Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, what did you say to Xie Rui?"

Yelia smiled and said, "I told Xie Rui and the coachman to go back now and pick me up tomorrow. Are you also interested in Xie Rui, Mike?"

Li Guolou said anxiously: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a big stallion, I understand etiquette, justice and shame."

In the banquet hall, Li Guolou and Yelia sat face to face for dinner. Candles were lit on the table, and Yelia reported the name of the dishes in French.The diners passing by will always pat Li Guolou and greet him affectionately, "Mike, male blogger kiss!"

The meaning is that Li Guolou set a precedent in history and became the first Qing Dynasty man to successfully date a prom princess.Everyone looked at Li Guolou with envy. The gentlemen followed Li Guolou's example. Those who snatched other mistresses by virtue of their dancing skills were successful men, and won the honor. The gentlemen sincerely wished Li Guolou and Yelia happiness.

There were also ladies who sat beside Yelia and asked what happened to Yelia?Don't want Robinson to change his boyfriend?

Li Guolou couldn't understand the French they spoke, so he could only nod with a smile.As for Yelia's answer to Li Guolou, he could only guess, but with his detective eyes, he believed that Yelia was telling the truth, and they told the French compatriots everything they did in a day.
