Guolou walked into Cuiyun Pavilion with the aristocratic style of a foreigner. He was not like the low-browed servant, nor was he like Wei Xiaoliu's perverted mimi. An Dehai and Li Lianying looked full of style. in front of.Dealing with eunuchs is still like a slave, which eunuch can't?Li Guolou had made a plan a long time ago, what he wanted to make was friends, not a godfather.He has a different family background, and he has to consider the interests and reputation of the Li family when doing things.

Li Guolou wanted to impress the two great eunuchs. Friends helping each other to make money is the highest level.He took off his hat and bowed gracefully, and said: "Mr. An and Mr. Li, it's a great honor to see you two after coming to the capital for more than a year in Li Guolou."

Eunuchs are best at putting on two faces, one is a low-browed and pleasing servant, which is for their masters, and the other is for those who can handle them.Eunuchs are also normal people in normal times, eunuchs have the joys, anger, sorrows and joys of ordinary people, and the mean and vicious eunuchs are processed images from the book.

Like Wei Zhongxian in the Ming Dynasty, how many people relied on him to get rich, would they not be grateful to him?Wei Zhongxian is not so bad, he just plays power.Scholars have no power, so they say Wei Zhongxian is very evil.In the hands of Wei Zhongxian, many people were beaten all over the ground looking for teeth, and the land of Ming Dynasty was not lost.Wei Zhongxian was handsome. Before Ming Chongzhen died, he said that the thing he regretted most was that he should not have killed Wei Zhongxian. With Wei Zhongxian in Li Zicheng, he would not have invaded the capital.The power struggle is life and death, and scholars can't beat Wei Zhongxian, and they can't beat Li Chuangwang, and they even lost the great Ming Dynasty.Scholars hate eunuchs taking power the most. They can take power and subjugate the country, but the eunuchs do not subjugate the country, and the eunuchs should be blamed for that.Because history is written by scholars, and the pen is always in the hands of scholars.

This is how people are. Images have the most impact on people, especially the first impression. As the saying goes: "One sees death!" This shows how important a person's first impression is.Li Guolou's image had a strong impact on the two eunuchs in the deep palace. No one had ever greeted them like this. It seemed that they saw foreigners and called them "Mr."I haven't heard anyone call them "Mr." for many years.

The singer was sticky for a while, and it was tiring to hold her in her arms all the time. An Dehai and Li Lianying stood up and returned the salute, as if the ministers of the two countries met each other and bowed their hands meticulously.

An Dehai is less than 30 years old, has a wide face, huge mouth, small eyes and single eyelids, and is less than 1.7 meters tall, with a strong figure.According to folklore, he was the best friend of the Empress Dowager Cixi and the number one celebrity in the palace.When people don't laugh, they don't get angry and prestige, and they have the posture of being a high-ranking official.

In her early 20s, Li Lianying has a fair complexion, a Chinese-character face with thin eyebrows, and has developed a habit of looking at people with drooping eyes. She is also very stout, with a height of more than 1.7 meters.Li Lianying always had a smile on his face, he seemed to be more popular than An Dehai, and the public's evaluation of him was better than that of An Dehai, and he was not harsh on his court ladies and eunuchs.

Both An Dehai and Li Lianying were wearing the silk and satin jackets of rich merchants. Li Guolou could tell from them that the Empress Dowager Cixi liked strong eunuchs.

Li Guolou sat on An Dehai's side. When we met for the first time, we drank a glass of wine first to show respect in etiquette.

After exchanging pleasantries, An Dehai Mimi smiled and said: "Fake foreign devil, why did you come here? This is not your lover's place. How can there be any reason why a lover should not hold back?"

Li Guolou picked up his teacup and said with a smile, "I went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to report in the morning. People from Tongyi Hall came to report the case. Their boss hanged himself. I'll go and have a look. Do you two want to hear how I solved the case?"

An Dehai stared, and said, "Didn't you commit suicide?"

Li Guolou said: "Suicide case! I've come a long time ago, how can I let the two bosses wait for me?"

With a wave of Li Lianying's hand, she asked the people who were singing the ditty to stop. I heard this kind of ditty every year, but I was still interested in things outside the palace, so I said casually: "Fake foreign devils, come and listen to your Beijing movies." Pretty decent."

Li Guolou smiled freely and began to tell about the process of solving the case. Not only the two elder ladies were fascinated by listening, but also the people next to him heard Li Guolou's story of solving the case for the first time, and they all listened attentively to the book.The six singers didn't move their chopsticks either, they all looked at Li Guolou's body.

After talking about the process of solving the case, Li Guolou picked up a teapot and poured tea for the two eunuchs, and said with a slight smile: "Mr. There are so many details that people don't know what is useful and what is not, and some are very troublesome, so I came here so late, how offended."

An Dehai nodded and said: "En! Very good, very good. People who have drunk foreign ink are still a little level, but they are too good at showing off. If you are so appetizing, you will be slapped in the palace. But it is still very attractive, let's talk one."

Li Guolou chuckled and said, "Mr. An, my speaking style is like this. Foreign devils are called suspenseful. Since the two father-in-laws like to listen, I will talk about another case that I fought for the country. It happened in the Tianjin court three days ago." The concession, called the secret room bathtub murder case, is ten times more exciting than the story I just told, and it is guaranteed to whet the appetite of the two big brothers."

Li Lianying ate the dishes with chopsticks, and said: "Fake foreign devils, tell me quickly, once you say that I will not move my chopsticks again, the suspense is, I remember, the style of foreigners. Hehehehe!"

The people at the table were listening to Li Guolou's account of how to solve the case. They were usually romantic, so they had never heard of such a secret case.They all listened attentively, and when Li Guolou betrayed him at the most critical moment, he became an afterthought, and even a few singers would join in.

An Dehai sighed: "Fake foreign devil, the story is very exciting but it's too dark. This kind of thing can't be said in the palace, otherwise people will learn to be bad. You can talk, no wonder the second grandma is willing to serve you as a little girl. I'll mention you later. I don't have a lot of money right now, can you help me?"

The tone is not asking for help, but a feeling of superiority, making you think highly of you, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it.

Li Guolou raised his wine glass and said with a casual smile: "Mr. An, friends are for helping me, otherwise why are you here to cheer me on?"

An Dehai was benefited, his eyes narrowed into slits, his mouth couldn't close his smile, he stood up and said: "It's a friend, our family has made you a bosom friend."

A table of people stood up to toast, their smiles were so sincere, some of the secrets of the palace began to be revealed, it was impossible for the eunuch to keep the secret.How did Emperor Yongzheng die, why did Emperor Qianlong like Heshen, and which concubines were secretly executed by the emperor?Both An Dehai and Li Lianying talked about the affairs in the palace of the previous dynasty bit by bit, but they did not mention a single thing about the affairs of this dynasty, and they could strictly abide by the professional ethics.

The food and drink were quite appetizing, but An Dehai and Li Lianying had two snarky mouths, saying that the court dishes were seven-percent, and they could fool people.

Li Guolou couldn't hold back and asked: "Mr. An, what should I do with the side dishes that the Empress Dowager can't finish?"

An Dehai said with a smile: "The food can't be wasted, it's a reward for the subordinates to eat every day. The queen mother is kind and we have delicious food every day, but it's cold. This can't be compared with here."

Li Guolou said: "Oh, I thought it would be too wasteful to throw them all away. The Imperial Dining Room makes [-] dishes every day and serves them all together. This job is also quite difficult."

Li Lianying glanced and said: "Small building, the imperial dining room is not so mysterious, they also fool people, half of the [-] dishes are models, placed on the table for decoration. We can't eat seasonal dishes, the palace rules four seasons dishes It takes a little longer for some dishes to be on the table. Some dishes like yours are afraid to cook in the palace. Sometimes after staying in the palace for a long time, I want to come out to eat some fresh vegetables. Freshness is the most important thing. I turn it over and over again in winter. I'm tired of eating radish, potato and cabbage, so you can do whatever you want here. I'll give you a recipe for the imperial dining room in the future, so that you can be more authentic in Baozhi's room, and don't fool people anymore. sin."

Li Guolou hurriedly stood up to express his gratitude, and was about to get a priceless treasure.

The recipes of the Imperial Dining Room are kept secret, which is in the hands of the head eunuch of the Imperial Dining Room, and is a state-level secret.The court dishes that have been handed down among the people are just a series of fragmentary dishes, and many dishes are very cumbersome to make, which is beyond people's imagination.

Li Lianying took the menu and said: "Xiao Lou, it's a job to keep a foreign brain. I can show the menu to Lafayette. Maybe the dishes in the imperial dining room will be photographed so that Lafayette can order whatever he wants." .In the future, if you have made great achievements, Brother An and I will mention a few words to you in front of Lafayette, so that you can fulfill your wish of entering the palace to face the Holy Spirit."

Li Guolou nodded and said: "That's great. To see the emperor, my greatest wish can be fulfilled. Here I would like to thank Brother Li and Brother An first."

An Dehai rolled his big tongue and said with a smile: "Our family and you are good friends. In the future, the business will grow bigger. Both Xiao Li and I want to retire in the Tianjin Concession. That is the paradise on earth. Do you understand what I mean?"

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Brother An, your words are orders, how can I not understand, and I will work hard for a few more years to ensure that what I want will come true."

The Tianjin Concession is a world full of flowers and flowers. The princes, princes and nobles all have land in the concession and build a series of garden houses.The outside world is attractive, and the people of the Qing Dynasty were in contact with Western culture, so they naturally distinguished themselves. The rich went to the concessions, not restricted by the laws of the Qing Dynasty, and lived a happy life.This is a trend, and no one can stop it. Patriotism and reality are in front of us, and people will eventually accept the reality.

Li Lianying raised her voice: "Then let's decide on the small building. I'll go and see a piece of land first, buy it first, and build a house. Take your time. I still have 30 years to live."

Li Guolou bit the bullet and said with a smile: "It's a deal, Brother Li, take your time, the garden house is not easy to serve."

An Dehai stood up, held his wine glass high and said: "Then it's a deal, two pieces of land, let's work slowly. Hehehehe!"

The two great eunuchs laughed slyly together, and Li Guolou, Na Bazi, and Wei Xiaoliu also accompanied them with sinister smiles. When they came out, they paid attention to getting rich together, not eating each other alive, but also peeling the skin of the Qing Empire. Such a big empire was just scratched. Pi, they can all make a fortune.

After lunch, An Dehai and Li Lianying left happily until two o'clock. They walked down the stairs like gentlemen, and bid farewell to Li Guolou at the gate.There were four singers sitting in a carriage, and Na Bazi and his two father-in-laws got into another carriage, and the two carriages headed for the Anhui Township Hall one after the other.

Looking at Jue Chen's back, Li Guolou said: "Little Six, I'm still a friend of Little Lizi. He gave me a big gift as soon as he came up, and was willing to recommend me. I still like to deal with Little Lizi."

Wei Xiaoliu said: "Then what about what you promised An Dehai?"

Li Guolou sneered and said with a sneer: "Look at his arrogance and domineering energy, he is so dragged when he gets an errand to go shopping in the palace. So what if he has the hat of a seventh-rank official, the local officials are now overlords." , don’t necessarily buy his account. An Dehai’s temper is too straightforward, but in fact he is not a bad person. But he opened his mouth too much, and he didn’t say it implicitly. He didn’t know that he could still bargain. He thought it was a fixed price, and he couldn’t stand it His. We’ll wait until he returns to Beijing, anyway, no one will come to ask for debts during Chinese New Year.”

Wei Xiaoliu smiled and said, "What godfather said is that the local tax bureau will also be closed during the Chinese New Year, and it will be logical for us to wait for An Dehai to return to Beijing. We will have a peaceful year first."

Li Guolou said: "Little Six, you go to rest, accompany your girlfriend at night, wash off the rouge on my face, don't embarrass me."

Wei Xiaoliu raised his arms to smell his body, and said with a sinister smile, "Godfather, I'd better go home and change clothes before coming back, there will be no trouble."

Wei Xiaoliu flew away quickly on tiptoe, swaying excitedly, it's not interesting for a diva to play too much, she's still a girlfriend, that kind of feeling of falling in love is worth aftertaste.
