late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou's carriage first went to Baozhi's house in Donglaijiang Lane to pick up Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu home.Tomorrow, Baozhi's Room will open. My own people are interviewing the business inside. Some people pretend to be guests and come to eat, speaking local dialects, which makes the order clerk a headache.Fortunately, the menu with photos helped a lot. If you don’t understand the dialect of the customers, you can tell them what they want by pointing at the dishes?

Red balls are tied on the beams of the house, red ribbons are hung high on the window lintels, and all kinds of red Spring Festival decorations are hung on the turrets of the restaurant.This time Li Guolou praised Nabazi a lot, and his requirement for Nabazi was to do a good job in organizing activities tomorrow morning, and not to lose to the opening scene of the "Eastern Foreign Goods Store" next door in Little Japan.

Zheng Lingling shuttled between the tables, trying to ask her to stop but refused, a little crazy.

There were already guests who came in and wanted to have dinner, so Chen Xiangfang hurried forward to deliver a bag of small bread, and sent the guests out respectfully.

Na Wu and his three compatriots were sitting in front of an Eight Immortals table near the door, with four bird cages hanging from the beams above their heads, drinking tea in style, and checking the time with their pocket watches, as if waiting for the guests to get tired of waiting.

Li Guolou was busy, and gave each person a little of the gifts sold from the Tianjin Concession, so that there would be a lot of space in the carriage immediately, and the whole family could squeeze in when they returned home.

Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu kept talking, and they looked at Li Guolou and smiled while talking.

Roberts; Torres took pictures of people in the Cuiyun Pavilion upstairs, and Qian Shuiping went in and out for a while, organizing people to go in and take pictures.

Li Guolou asked: "Xiaofang, why hasn't Roberts left yet? It's been five days and he hasn't finished taking pictures yet?"

Chen Xiangfang smiled and said: "I'm done, are you willing to leave? The bed we slept in was occupied by the two of them. Second Mistress rented a room not far next door. When the decoration is completed, Baozhu Photo Studio will open for business." gone."

Li Guolou said: "Can't you persuade Mrs. Qian? Why is it so fast, I think they will at least contact each other for a while."

Chen Xiangfang lifted her head up and said, "Hey, it was done in the back where the employees slept. Mrs. Qian also told me that Roberts raped her. Why do you go to the employee dormitory with grandma if she has nothing to do? Lies can also be uttered, and the second grandma can only give them the key to the south room on Bolan Street.Xiaolou, don't sign any unequal treaties with foreign devils. Roberts dare not talk about the terms of the contract. "

"Not going back?"

"People from the Qing Gang came forward, and Ma Dabangzi borrowed ten guts from him and dared not make a sound or come to make trouble, so you just continue to pretend to be confused. Don't worry about this kind of thing." Chen Xiangfang glanced.

Li Guolou said: "I've never been wrong before. I just fell on Mrs. Qian. I thought about it well. Wu Cuilian and Roberts would be a good pair. Now I can only let Mrs. Wu stay alone."

Chen Xiangfang said: "Sister-in-law Wu is also jealous. She came here the day before yesterday and begged the second grandma to find her a job. The second grandma didn't agree, because she was afraid that Roberts would change her mind and said that she would find a job for sister-in-law Wu in the future. Those old neighbors of yours They have been here before, and they saw that the idiot Zhou Xiaohuan also joined in, and they also wanted to find an errand. Wang Kuai talked for a long time, but the second grandma couldn't stand it and sent him a tael of silver to send him away. They will come again tomorrow, it's a headache Come yourself."

The others in Li Guolou were not afraid, only Wang Kuaizui. He didn't say anything about Hong Gu, but let the two grandmas keep Wang Kuaizui and his son at arm's length.I didn't expect that people would act according to their faces. Wang Kuaizui was so thick-skinned that he came here crying for nothing.It was decided that Li Guolou would help when he saw their father and son in the current situation. Wang Kuaizui and his son came to ask for money in turn, and they regarded this place as their grandma's home.

Li Guolou spread his arms and said, "Xiaofang, why do the poor look at me like a fly, and want to slap me one by one. I haven't even had a sip of tea at home. In what life do I owe them?"

Chen Xiangfang said with a smile: "Xiaolou, it's not that you are Mianshan. When Mianshan is bullied, no one will be afraid of you. Once you open your mouth, the water will flow over, and it will continue to rush in the future. Who told you to Be the third brother, when you are rich and powerful, people who come here to borrow money can be arranged in the Anhui Township Hall from here."

"Then what should we do?" Li Guolou had already seen the horrific scene, everyone had grimaces on their faces, they all wanted to squeeze him dry, and stretched out their hands in front of him without flinching.

Chen Xiangfang sighed: "What can I do? Xiaolou, don't you want to be famous? That's how Jiyu came. Wang Wu is like you now. He dare not even go to the street and hides in the headquarters all day. Do you think he feels good? .”

"Oh, no wonder I can't see Wang Wu all day long. So he is hiding from the God of Plague. Wang Wu is now fatter than me, and people go to him every day. I'm still a little jealous of him. Now I know that too many people are not a good thing." Song Gongming just has too many people, and he can't support these subordinates, so he can only surrender to Song Huizong." Li Guolou made inferences, and immediately thought of higher-level things.

Chen Xiangfang praised: "Xiaolou, you are really amazing, even more powerful than Jin Shengtan, and your insights are unique and reasonable. Why did Song Jiang surrender? It's because there are too many people under him. He is a bandit, so he can't attack the city, so he can only take the road of surrender. Catch Ming I told Second Grandma to ask her to annotate the Water Margin and add this incisive line."

Li Guolou said: "I am better than Song Jiang. I don't kill my wife. If any of you have a second life, I guarantee that the case will be handled like an accident and no one will be able to solve the case in 1000 years."

Chen Xiangfang snorted coldly: "You, you are too powerful. We are still young and can satisfy you. You will not be at peace in the future."

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "I don't want to be like Hu Xueyan, who loves one and loves the other. I can't finish looking at the beauty. I just want the person who loves me to be by my side. You don't want to be blinded by money, and listen to Second Grandma in everything. "

Chen Xiangfang whimpered: "Last time I just listened to her and made you together. Otherwise, the position of grandma will be snatched by a foreign woman. Why don't I listen, she is a literate scholar, you No scholar can compare to her."

Xie Xiuzhu upstairs invited them to go up to take pictures. Li Guolou glanced and said, "You are the eldest grandma. From now on, make sure that the two of them greet each other every morning, so that they will remember who is the boss."

"Little villain, you don't want to be a villain, do you want me to?" Chen Xiangfang pointedly expressed Li Guolou's inner thoughts.

Li Guolou said in a soft voice: "I am soft on others, but you are on me. What are you afraid of? You will be the villain in the family in the future, and I cannot have a say."

Chen Xiangfang said: "Yeah! I see, you go up with me. Last time the photo was taken well. This time Lingling took the photo, we took turns hugging."

Li Guolou grabbed Zheng Lingling out from under a table, carried her daughter upstairs, and saw Qian Shuiping glared at her viciously, embarrassing the women of the Qing Empire.

Qian Shuiping leaned into Li Guolou's ear and said, "I am very happy, this is called pursuing a new life."

Li Guolou said anxiously: "Lingling, we don't listen to Aunt Qian, so we cover our ears."

Zheng Lingling covered her ears, shook her head and said, "If you don't listen, don't listen, we won't listen."

The cute appearance of the child drew a lot of laughter.The noisy downstairs was full of voices, people drinking tea, talking and laughing, and the yelling of the waiter was very pleasant.

At Wu that table at the door, a Manchu asked a bit worried: "Wu, do you think the business here will be good during the Spring Festival?"

Na Wu took a sip of tea and said: "Hope, Na Bazi said that this is the opposite. If they don't do business, we will do it, and all the gold and silver will fall here. I also wish my brother well, he is the only one in our family." Promise, there are several brothers in my family who have yet to find work, and they are all looking forward to that bastard's success."

Another man said: "That fake foreign devil is being taken advantage of. He is so rich. We only lose money in this business."

The five white eyes said: "Why are you in a hurry, take your time, take care of the big grandma, and we will have a long journey."

"Do it!" The four Manchus expressed their broad feelings with tea instead of wine.

After Li Guolou took the photos, he talked to that guy alone, told him not to go to the underworld, and told him the preliminary plan of the Chaoyang Project. The focus of his work was to make friends with officials. Can't go in either.

With the bunches of grapes on the vine trellis, Na Bazi immediately changed into another person. He no longer looked like a big brother in the rivers and lakes, and returned to his true nature as a man.During the Spring Festival, he must visit all the doors and rooms of high officials everywhere. As long as the relationship is not broken, he can be used at any time in the future.

Li Guolou said: "When you step into this circle, you will know that the big ghosts are easy to talk, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. The people above take money and don't do things, and the people who actually do things are all below. So when you get the approval, you will talk to the people below. When people have a good relationship, don't use tiger skins to pretend to be big. If people don't like you, they will still suffer, and we can't be planted in the gutter."

Na Bazi nodded and said: "Third brother, I sold you a long time ago. Don't worry, our family knows who is the real brother. It is enough for the underworld to have Wang Wu. I won't join in the fun anymore. Third brother, you Chaoyang It’s a waste of time to have a plan, and find something else to play with, I think I am also a planner, and I can’t stay idle when I stay in one place.”

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "The restaurant is busy all day long, Xiaofang has no time to do anything else. The photo studio is just for the grandma at home to pass the time and not make a fortune. The preparation work for the Chaoyang Project will take one or two years. What kind of business makes money, I can't think of it."

That Bazi smiled and said, "Second brother, let me remind you, moving some of your family's business in Shanghai, won't it fill up the spare time?"

Li Guolou said: "I don't want to use my family's money anymore. If I want to do it, my family will pay for it together. Otherwise, I will become a part-time job in the end."

That bastard came up a little bit and said, "Third brother, don't fool me as a big brother. Wang Wu has already told me that there will be a lot of money if there is a big war. As long as the field is recovered next year, will there be no money? Besides, you will spend foreign money. Niu cheated to the house, can I use the money in the bank?"

Li Guolou spoke quickly and said: "Bazi, how can you say such words, I am the third brother in the Jianghu."

Na Bazi picked up the teapot, added some tea to Li Guolou, and said with a slight smile, "Fake foreign devils, don't pretend, I'm going to pass it now, as long as I have money, I'll marry a widow too. Be easy-going when talking to me." , listen to me, that's right, I took you into the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, and I made the right move. Give me another share and start a business, and even if I run away, I will make a good relationship. How about we open a domestic product The shop competes with the Japanese shop?"

Li Guolou shook his head like a drum, and said: "Don't just buy domestic products just because you listen to the patriotic propaganda. Once you're done, it's better to shop around. Everyone relies on their ability to make a living. Is it interesting to mention the height of the country? Now If domestic products are not good, we have to admit that we will be industrialists in the future, and now we are still doing business that can be managed, so don’t think of ourselves as great.”

"Then what are you doing?" Na Bazi asked unwillingly.

Li Guolou said: "We'll talk about it when my brother and sister come. Be strict and don't say a word about Chaoyang Project to your sister. Your sister, I must be kicked out from here, or the whole world will know about my family. gone."

Na Bazi smiled and said: "I've been talking about my sister, when you came to my house and got you drunk, everything would be settled, and you'd become an old lady by pretending to be a lady."

Li Guolou stood up straight from the ground, and Kanaba slapped his neck desperately, and said angrily: "Don't say such things, I'm already too busy."

The bazi waved his hands and made a hissing sound, and the two of them were able to tell the difference as soon as they fought.
