late Qing Dynasty arrest

Li Guolou stretched his muscles and bones in the yard, and recovered from excessive exercise.It's good to invite an old lady, and everyone greets casually.Young and wealthy, Li Guolou's face is full of complacency. There are too many things crowded together. Others relax during the Spring Festival, but he has a lot of troubles. He walks easily and can't relax his mind. The yamen can leave without showing his face, but He is indispensable on the platform of Baozhifang.You can't move around in the morning, and practice boxing in the afternoon.After considering the matter thoroughly, Li Guolou returned to the dining room after walking for a quarter of an hour.

Yelia sat lazily on a chair, drank strong tea, raised her eyes and said, "Mike, please be polite and invite your two masters to have breakfast together, and then arrange the plans for the next few days, don't let I'm ashamed."

Li Guolou said: "Yelia, do you want me to invite you in person?" He is a son of the nobles of the Qing Dynasty, and he is going to invite poor French security guards to dinner, and the class seems to be reversed.

"I'm French, you're a gentleman, I've already arranged breakfast, a combination of Chinese and Western, just as perfect as ours." Yelia winked, wondering when she had treated Li Guolou badly.

Li Guolou leaned over and kissed Yelia's cheeks twice. If you don't do something that loses money, you must be rewarded first to be motivated.

When Harris and Jack entered the inner house for the first time, they saw everything new, and ran to skate on the ice in the pool like children.Outsiders are not allowed into the big inner houses of wealthy and Qing people. This is the rule of rich families.But Li Guolou and Yelia didn't care, they were the ones who broke the rules.When Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu went downstairs, it was hard to say anything about them. They only showed two pairs of big eyes to Li Guolou.

Zheng Lingling clamored to go to Baozhi's room to play. Li Guolou glanced at her and said, "Xiaofang, please find a tutor for Lingling. Lingling is smart and asked Yelia to hire a French woman to teach Lingling to read. Foreign languages ​​should start from elementary school. In the future Go abroad to study like my father."

Chen Xiangfang said: "I think they are still British. English is more popular than French, right Yelia?"

Yelia said dryly: "Yes! Mike, I can teach Lingling simple French. Does Lingling want to learn it?"

Zheng Lingling drank the milk, nodded and said, "I think French milk is better."

Li Guolou said: "Wanniang, help Lingling wipe her mouth."

Chen Xiangfang asked: "Xiaolou, can Lingling change her surname?"

Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Chen Xiangfang, and said: "We are not married yet, how can we change our household registration if we are not together? What you do is the opposite. My brother and sister are coming soon. I don't know where they live. Woolen cloth?"

Chen Xiangfang smiled and said: "Xiaolou, we believe that you will be able to handle it. The most troublesome thing is to let your family live in the Anhui Township Hall. We go to pay your respects every day." Don't mention how proud I am, I live in a mansion and have servants to serve me. In the days when they reached the sky in one step, they became rich and lived a life of rich clothes and fine food. In the past, they used to soak their hands in cold water to wash clothes. Now this kind of lowly work will never be done again.

Li Guolou was discouraged: "It will take two to thirty days, I will be exhausted to death."

Yelia showed a weird expression and said, "Mike, work hard!"

Li Guolou glared at Yelia fiercely, trying to tell her to shut up.

Yelia said: "Harris, Jack, don't mind that Mike doesn't treat you as outsiders, you can eat whatever you want. In the future, as long as Mike is at home, you can come to the inner house, and you can eat like our servants when Mike is not there."

"Yeah!" Harris and Jack had food in front of them, and they ate with gusto, both of them were big-bellied men.

Yelia shook her head and said, "Mike, drink up the raw eggs. This is the nutritious breakfast Master prepared for you."

Six raw eggs were beaten into a bowl of milk on the table. Li Guolou swallowed, suppressed the nausea, and poured it into his stomach through gritted teeth.

"Okay—" Zheng Lingling encouraged Li Guolou with a childish voice.

Li Guolou said: "Master Harris, Master Jack, I will go to the yamen in the morning. If you want to go out to play, go out. We will have dinner together in Baozhi's room at noon. I will welcome the two masters. In the afternoon we will start training. I will make a schedule for the next training plan, and I will implement it according to the plan."

Harris asked, "Mike, have you ever boxed?"

Li Guolou said: "I have seen how other people punch, and I have learned the movements. I have practiced for a while, but I have never fought in actual combat."

Harris nodded and said: "It's good if you have practiced. I can see that you have never fought. People who have boxed have scars on their faces."

Li Guolou sighed: "Master Harris, your western boxing is too cruel. You can beat people to death with one punch. How can you actually fight? You can only practice for fun."

Western boxing is very cruel. It is a life-and-death fight without gloves. There are only cloth belts wrapped around the palms, shirtless and shorts in the boxing ring. There are no other protective measures.This sport is the sport of lowly people in the West, and the children of nobles rarely participate in it.People who have fought have been left with lifelong scars and disabilities, and it is common for a few people to die.Different from the fencing and gun duels of the nobles, Western boxing became popular from wine and started as a gambling project.But more and more people like this sport. Fencing and musket duels are gradually eliminated by society. Only boxing is recognized by Western society. Even if you beat someone to death on the ring, it is not against the law.

"This is a man. I have fought in actual combat. There is no way out in life-and-death fights. When I got to the boxing ring, I no longer wanted to pretend to be down. I just wanted to knock down my opponent. Mike, you have kung fu to fight, and Robinson The gap is not as big as four times." The younger Jack started the first class, and the words of encouragement made Li Guolou more confident.

Li Guolou glanced at the three grandmothers and said, "I am confident that I can defeat Robinson Robinson, so don't hold me back." .

Zheng Lingling hugged Li Guolou's leg, and said in a childish voice, "Father, let me help you drag your leg to the front."

The three grandmas smiled coquettishly. They were full of confidence in Li Guolou. This confidence was burned into their hearts from the moment Li Guolou lay on top of them. This man would never lose.

Harris and Jack held hands tightly. They also saw a brand new life. The two new employers were generous and generous. The same respect as the superiors, let them have the ambition to die for their confidants.

Harris and Jack left after breakfast, and Li Guolou sent them to the gate of the inner house and turned back.

Yelia came over and said, "Mike, I'll wait for you at the gate of the criminal department in the morning. You haven't played outside with me yet."

Li Guolou said: "What are you playing! Haven't you enjoyed my service? I will train hard this afternoon, and if I play again, I will die from Robinson's fist. I can't play anymore."

"Hmph!" Yelia said softly, "Fool, I just want you to walk by my side, I can't do without you, I sleep next to you at night, they are all too nasty, I'm the best. "

Li Guolou sighed: "Dear Yelia, I will revive my ambition when I am with you. In order to get your love, I will fight a mighty enemy like a lion. But forgive me, you sleep next to me The result is that I will lose this decisive battle."

Yelia twisted her body and said, "Okay, I'll let you sleep alone at night, and I'll pick you up in the morning. It's almost ten o'clock. Then you can chat with reporter Eugene until after lunch, and I'll just watch you Practice boxing."

Li Guolou said affectionately: "Dear Yelia, can I propose to you in the boxing ring?"

Yelia looked up and thought for a while, and said, "Only if you win, can you take out the ring. If you lose, we will run away."

Li Guolou said: "If I lose, I won't be able to escape. I've already been lying on the ground and pretending to be dead."

Yelia warned: "Mike, listen to Second Grandma's words, try your best not to risk your life, if you really can't win or lose face, I won't leave you."

Li Guolou hugged Yelia tightly and said, "Dear Yelia, I must win to win your love, so that you will never leave me."

"Yeah!" Yelia's face was full of smiles, tears were streaming down Li Guolou's cheeks, and it was hard to tell who shed them.

In the room, Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu stared eagerly, and Xie Xiuzhu sighed: "Grandma, since you have already started to get pregnant, do you think it's okay?"

Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "Second Grandma, I think you are sick. Is it such a coincidence? You and your husband haven't seen each other for two or three years, and we've only slept with Xiaolou a few times. Let's keep playing." , there are three days left, have you forgotten?"

Xie Xiuzhu had a smug expression on her face, she nodded and said, "It's God's will, as long as the foreign woman doesn't get ahead, I can accept it. Do you have any experience in giving birth?"

Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said, "Second Grandma, go to the doctor in the morning to be organized and don't bother me."

Xie Xiuzhu blamed herself and looked at Li Guolou with resentful eyes. When will the good seeds take root in her stomach?She had long forgotten her dead husband, Wei Wenshao, and she hadn't lighted the incense sticks for the deceased until now.

"Grandma, I'll listen to you. Go to the mission hospital in the morning to see the doctor and then come to Baozhi's room. Don't tell Xiaolou, he will be scared to death."

"Ah!" Chen Xiangfang looked at Xie Xiuzhu in surprise, and said urgently, "Second Grandma, others are talking nonsense."

"Look! What are you in a hurry for!" Xie Xiuzhu yelled angrily.

Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu took Zheng Lingling's hand to make trouble with Li Guolou, how could they only spoil Yelia?There are still three women who love him here, how can the boundless love be forgotten?

Li Guolou was putting on his coat and preparing to go out, the chef Wei Zhuangyong rushed into the inner courtyard, he looked like something big must have happened outside, otherwise he would not have entered the inner courtyard.

Xie Ma went up to meet her, and said with a grunt, "What are you doing here?"

Wei Zhuangyong glared angrily, and said, "The people from the Ax Gang are here, and they are sitting in the living room. Can I come in and talk to the master?"

"Ah!" Xie's mother also changed her face in fright, and the two went to the downstairs lounge (living room) together to report to the master and son and mistress.

This time, the Eighth Master of the Axe Gang did not come for a full tour, so he sent two subordinates to Li Guolou and Xie Xiuzhu to save face, and asked Xie Xiuzhu to give him the remaining compensation of 500 taels of silver. .

Li Guolou was almost impulsive when he heard this, rushed to the door and stopped again, turned around and said, "Second Grandma, I'm going to meet those two little Luos, and bring them 500 taels of silver back to pay their bills. Let's also have a peaceful year, There's no need to get angry with them. Don't worry about Second Mistress, Man Baye won't see spring."

Xie Xiuzhu knew from Chen Xiangfang's mouth that Li Guolou killed people without blinking an eye, so she hurriedly walked to Li Guolou and grabbed his coat, and said worriedly: "Xiaolou, you don't have to work hard, so many people want you to support them." .”

Li Guolou smiled stiffly, and said, "Second Grandma, don't worry, I won't make a move. I have a big family now, so how can I do this kind of thing? I have a younger brother who can do it. You can cheat on the street for dinner. Our family will be innocent in the future, and no one will dare to harm us."

Li Guolou stabilized his mind, and walked out of the inner house with Wei Zhuangyong, thinking in his heart that before he was strong, he would pretend to be a bad grandson. If he spit on his face, he would not wipe it. superior.

It is impossible for a woman to keep a secret. The three grandmas gathered together and whispered everything that happened to Li Guolou, and the tense expression just now turned into a smile.
