late Qing Dynasty arrest

It was already dark, and the carriage turned to Dengcao Hutong. Li Guolou and Yelia still entered through the back door of the Wei Mansion. The two of them seemed to have done something wrong, and quickly rushed into the house. Behind them, Xie Ma hurriedly closed the door.

Xie Ma said: "Xiao Lou, grandma is dying of anxiety, so why don't you just wait for you to eat?"

Li Guolou said: "Where is Lingling?"

Xie Ma smiled and said, "Are you using noodles and clay figurines?"

Li Guolou was furious, and said: "Nonsense! This is going to be punished by the gods, and you will be a prodigal son. Hurry up and buy some plasticine for Lingling. I will play with plasticine with her."

Xie Ma sighed: "Xiaolou, by the time you think of playing plasticine with Lingling, she's already lost interest."

Li Guolou could hear Mama Xie's reproachful tone, and argued: "Don't worry, Mama Xie, when I come back from Tianjin, I will be a hen that incubates chicks, and I won't go out anymore. The whole family will celebrate the Spring Festival happily."

Yelia whispered in her ear, "Mike, I'll be your chick and let you hatch on me."

Li Guolou ignored Yelia, and said loudly: "Everyone has worked hard!" He greeted the servants on the way and took off his hat to pay tribute.

Xie Ma couldn't see it, and said: "Xiaolou, this is not good, how can you salute the servant, it is against the rules."

Yelia interjected: "Thank you, this is a Western rule, it's a sign of gentlemanly demeanor, the richer you are, the more hypocritical you are, let him show off, after a few days he won't be addicted, it's another Lord with his nostrils up to heaven."

Xie Ma nodded and said: "Oh, I'm relieved, otherwise I will treat my subordinates like Xiaolou, so what's the point of living?"

Li Guolou defended himself and said: "You don't understand that this is a kind of mental trick. You want to make your subordinates unable to understand your thoughts. If you are happy today, you will be like this. If you are not happy tomorrow, you will beat them up. You must let them spend the whole day. It's a kind of magic that controls the heart."

To be reasonable, no one could argue against Li Guolou. Under the guidance of an oil lamp, Li Guolou led Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia into the inner house, and shouted together: "We are back!"

A beautiful figure rushed over directly, Zheng Lingling wanted to snatch her father from the hands of the two grandmas, Li Guolou walked into the dining room with her daughter Zheng Lingling in her arms.

Having too many women is also troublesome. You have to wait for a long time to eat, wash your face and remove makeup first, and then gossip.Li Guolou didn't join them, but first told Zheng Lingling a fairy tale. The story of "Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf" is so scary that Zheng Lingling is not happy to hear it. Such a fairy tale is not good at all, bloody and unsatisfactory ending.

After listening to the story, Chen Xiangfang said, "Xiaolou, don't tell Lingling about this kind of story in the future, it's too scary."

Xie Xiuzhu echoed: "Grandma is right. Fairy tales shouldn't be like this. Xiaolou, you have to adapt it, and make a version suitable for children to listen to."

Li Guolou said: "I'm talking about the version that boys like. Werewolves and vampires are all classics of Westerners. If you don't believe me, you can ask Yelia."

Yelia rolled her eyes and said, "Mike, what did you say about vampires before eating? It made us lose our appetite and made me want to vomit when I saw oysters."

Xie Xiuzhu picked up a bloody oyster and asked suspiciously, "Grandma, is this really edible?"

Chen Xiangfang nodded, and said, "Second Grandma, believe me, it's delicious. You need to dip some mustard, then close your eyes, and chew it in your mouth. Oops! Do you know how to eat it? Wipe the corners of your mouth clean." .It’s an expensive ingredient you can’t waste.”

Li Guolou broke open a raw oyster and said, "Lingling is not allowed to eat it. Children's intestines have not grown well, and this kind of food cannot be digested."

Yelia looked at the table full of things and dishes, and sighed: "Grandma, don't cook so many dishes in the future, won't you make me gain weight by doing it this way?"

Chen Xiangfang glanced and said: "Yelia, this is the farewell wine prepared for you. Didn't you say that you can't come back? You only have one meal."

Yelia nodded and said, "Grandma is still right. At the last supper, there were thirteen disciples around Jesus, but now it counts at most three and a half. I still have a chance to eat again."

Hearing about the last supper of Jesus, Li Guolou remembered that Yelia was a Christian, and angrily said: "Yelia, you are a Christian, pray quickly and then eat, come and let us hold hands together, let Jesus Leah prayed to Almighty God for a good dinner and a peaceful day."

Chen Xiangfang said in surprise: "Xiaolou, you can do this kind of thing too."

Li Guolou said: "Of course! I am a Christian in England and I have to pray every day when I eat, otherwise I wouldn't even drink soup."

Yelia shouted: "No joking, no talking. I'm here to pray. Almighty God, thank you for everything you have given me. You have given us a good dinner and let our family gather together to pray safely. These people are now I am not a Christian yet, but I will obey God's will and lead them to the path of believing in you. Please God give me strength and motivation to continue pursuing great love. I will do my best to lift the burden of this foreign family Picked it up. Amen!"

Yelia was moved by Li Guolou, but fortunately Li Guolou reminded her to pray, otherwise there would be many more things to confess in church in the future.Suddenly she felt that it was meaningful to come here. It turned out that God asked her to save these pagans, or to give these unbelievers a chance to be born again.With faith, there is a reason to stay here. Yelia feels that she is a noble person, and she wants to spread the love of God here.

"Amen!" Li Guolou and the others said together, only those who have faith will gather together, not to mention the boundless love here.

The candlesticks were lit on the dining table and the red wine was tasted. The five well-dressed people spoke well. The maids were busy under the command of Xie Ma, and Jelia's personal maid Sherry; Jones only served Jelia.

Chen Xiangfang told her daughter Zheng Lingling what she was busy with today?Tomorrow I will take Zheng Lingling to Baozhi's room to take pictures.Zheng Lingling was curious and a little afraid of uncle werewolf and photographer Roberts, she shook her head and refused to go to Baozhi's room.

Chen Xiangfang was extremely dissatisfied, and said: "Xiaolou, it's better not to make such a borderless joke. Why are you making such a joke again? What should Lingling do if she has a nightmare at night? Lingling promises to cry immediately when she sees Roberts, so how dare she take a picture. "

It's useless for Li Guolou to apologize, no woman forgives him, let him reflect on himself, the thing that scares children is done by despicable people.Li Guolou once again promised that in the future, only happy things will be told at the dinner table, and only humorous jokes will be used for jokes, and cold jokes and jokes that will spread food will not be told. He must be strict with himself and treat others like a nobleman, even beating and scolding servants. Let the steward do it, and let all see that he is a noble man, and stop joking with the servants.

Li Guolou couldn't accept that the three ladies came up with a reason to ask him to abide by one request, so he said: "Three grandmas, I have to study every day when I am young, and I can only talk about one rule in the future. This is set by today's meal." The first rule, so today's rule is over, let me continue to eat."

Yelia helped Li Guolou and said: "Mike is right, you have to respect the rules when eating, but the rules are not done well. We will talk about it later. Now let's cheer for our ability to achieve boundless love. Cheers!"

"Boundless love! Cheers!"

"Mom, what is boundless love?" Zheng Lingling couldn't help asking.

Chen Xiangfang hurriedly explained: "Well, this great love without borders means that the Frenchman Yelia crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to the Qing Empire to find true love. This is love without boundaries. As for great love, here There are four women who all love Dad, and the combined love of the four of us is big love. Got it?"

Zheng Lingling understood, she nodded with a smile, she is a child prodigy who understands as soon as she speaks.

Li Guolou praised: "Grandma, your explanation is really good, there is not a single loophole, I can't even make it up."

Chen Xiangfang glanced at everyone, and said: "This is what is said on the stage, you all have to learn a little bit, Lingling has been sitting in this seat for at least four or five years, you are not allowed to spoil her."

Yelia pretended not to hear, and jokingly said, "Lingling, what kind of man are you looking for in the future?"

Chen Xiangfang scolded angrily: "Lingling, don't listen to Third Grandma's nonsense, let's eat pudding."

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Mom, didn't you say that it is impolite not to answer people's questions? I can tell the third grandma frankly that I want to be like my mother when I grow up, and find a man younger than me so that I You can take care of him."

Amidst the laughter, Li Guolou stared at his first daughter. It is not easy for Zheng Lingling to have lofty goals at such a young age.He didn't have such a goal since he was a child, but it was God's will to trick people. When I found the great love, I could only accept that the "great love" was the identity of the three widows.

After drinking hot tea, the day's exhaustion passed. Yelia said that she had never been so tired and done so many things. In the past, she only did one thing a day.

Li Guolou coughed quickly, afraid that Yelia would tell what he had done?

Yelia was extremely dissatisfied, and ran to Li Guolou, twisted his arm, and said angrily, "I'm talking casually, why are you pretending to cough! Lingling can be like Snow White in fairy tales."

Zheng Lingling shook her head and said, "I don't want to be Snow White. Those dwarfs are disgusting and they sleep in the same room. I want to be Cinderella and Prince Charming dancing."

Yelia squinted and said, "Did Mike hear that? This is the voice of the crowd. You need to make a lot of money and raise a band so that we can dance after dinner."

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Yelia, what you said was made by a fool. There is a band at home, and you can't get excited about dancing. You will only be happy if we dance outside. Ask the band to teach Second Mistress Dancing is a good idea, let Lingling drag mother to dance, and grandma can learn it too. Lingling agree? The burden of teaching mother to dance is entrusted to you."

Zheng Lingling said in a childlike voice, "Okay! Mom can dance, let's do one."

Amidst the clapping and cheering, the lavish Chen Xiangfang and Zheng Lingling spun around, seeing the whole family laughing together, Li Guolou couldn't help laughing too.
