late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 283 Life Takes a Detour

The topic turned to farming, and people in the living room were talking about it. Li Guolou held a steel notebook and took notes, nodding his head with an approving smile, patiently to the extreme, and listening to topics such as pigpens, cowsheds, and grains that he was not interested in.After hearing this, Li Guolou realized that his heart was not enough, and as long as he said, "Okay! I agree! It makes sense! Let's deal with it right away!" A new problem will arise.There are not so many things happening in the prince's manor?Li Guolou understood that if he wanted to implement the matter, he had to raise a bunch of greedy officials, who would not take a bite?

Li Guolou regretted why he didn't follow the example of the chief and raise a few staff members?His subordinates are all big bosses, no one organizes the manuscript for him, and he has to do the implementation of what he thinks of.When others are drinking and sleeping, he has to think about everything.

Li Guolou waved his hands to let the people around him be quiet, and asked loudly, "Dongqing, the book office in Balizhuang needs two people, would you nominate one?"

Baozheng Dongqing rolled his palm excitedly. The "book office" is a fat vacancy in the village. A village makes false accounts, harms the public and private interests, and fools the higher-level officials. .Now "Baozheng" has not taken up his post, he wears two official hats on top of one head.

Before Dongqing's excitement passed, a person introduced himself, stood up, and said loudly: "Captain Li, I have read and learned the 'Ten Books of Numeracy', and I am a book office. There is no problem."

Zheng Hengdan is in his 20s, wearing a pair of glasses, short and stocky, with a bandage on his right hand, hanging from his neck.The rebels who dared to fight on the battlefield and were shot by Li Guolou were also the first members of the five surrender factions to recognize the situation.

Li Guolou took a deep look at Zheng Hengdan, who was capable of writing and martial arts, and asked, "Dongqing, do you think it's okay?"

Everyone is dirty, how can they turn their faces ruthlessly in public, Dongqing said without delay: "Okay, the person I'm in love with is Brother Bear."

"Little pole, can you write with your left hand?" Li Guolou looked at Zheng Hengtan who had injured his right hand, and was a little worried that Zheng Hengdan would not be able to do it.

"Captain Li, I can do it. I have also practiced calligraphy with my left hand in the past." Zheng Hengtan puffed out his chest and belly, as if a general was about to go to the battlefield.

"Okay, it's you, little pole, and you will go to the battlefield in the future. Do you still use the pole to kill people?" The scene on Li Guolou's field vividly came to mind.

"The commander has an order, I must charge first." Zheng Hengdan replied without hesitation, he is not afraid of any opponent on the battlefield.Of course, ants are greedy for life, injured and captured, so it is reasonable to change the family.

If it was funny, the whole room roared with laughter. Li Guolou said with a smile, "Little shoulder pole has great knowledge, and it will have a bright future. Tonight we are going to have a bridal chamber, let's see you charge ahead."

Zheng Hengtan scratched his head in embarrassment, squinting at the female compatriot who had been finalized, and the two of them were about to collide fiercely at night.

It was lively now, amazing laughter erupted in the living room, several women escaped shyly, the five new favorites giggled triumphantly, their wives fell from the sky, and they could take one home without breaking the bank.

Zheng Hengdan took the seat next to Li Guolou, and began to write vigorously. He re-typed the words copied by Li Guolou with a brush, and rearranged the messy words into regulations.

The meeting continued, and the longer the time, the more relaxed people were, and all kinds of things came to mind.

Li Guolou didn't express his position easily. Regarding the questions raised by the villagers, he explained, "Let's have a meeting to study and study." "Well, this matter needs to be considered comprehensively." The new village is taking care of it."

Li Guolou looked sideways at Ai Hai, the younger brother under his command was helpless.He has to solve everything, so why should he raise a younger brother?

Ai Hai seemed to see that Li Guolou couldn't stand it any longer, and said, "I've repeated what you said several times, so I'll stop here today, and continue the meeting tomorrow night, and revisit what happened in the past two days. Now hold a wedding banquet for the five newcomers, eat hot pot at night, and have two bottles of Huadiao wine on the table, and have a happy bridal chamber."

"Hey!" Everyone sighed, Li Guolou was in charge of the house, but he didn't let them enjoy the first dinner, so the "joy" was not going anywhere.

Ai Hai took out the gold watch, opened the watch cover smartly, there was a big photo of Honggu inside, looked at the photo with a smile, and said: "Well, it's already 05:30, and the banquet will start in half an hour, now we are disbanded, rest a little while."

Li Guolou spoke so dryly that his voice was so hoarse that he couldn't make a sound, so he waved his hands to let the crowd disperse.Dongqing leaned over, smirked, and said with a smile: "Master Li, today is a day of great joy for the little one, I beg Mr. Li to inscribe and leave the calligraphy."

Li Guolou felt comfortable all over his body. It was the first time in his life that someone asked for his "writing". .Although he was already exhausted, he still maintained his demeanor, and said with a smile: "Okay! I am happy today, and I will write a congratulatory speech to you newcomers." After speaking, Li Guolou rolled up his sleeves, ready to show off his literary talents.

"Lord Li, and me!" Zheng Hengdan greeted him with a pleasant smile, and several other groom officials also sarcastically praised Li Guolou, and gathered around Li Guolou.

"Hey, you guys are testing my literary talent. I've been thinking so hard these days, I'm afraid I'll be ashamed." Li Guolou, a modest gentleman, touched his chin, thinking in his mind, what should he write when he gets married? How many congratulations?

Ai Hai shouted loudly, "You don't know yet, Mr. Li is a Gongsheng student. He is only one step away from being a Jinshi. There are many flowers in his belly, and beautiful articles are at his fingertips."

"I can see it, I can see it!" Several thick-skinned women compatriots came up to look at Li Guolou's rectangular face carved from beautiful jade, wishing they could eat it in their stomachs.

Li Guolou bowed his head and said nothing, he must not eat what was in his mouth, look at what was in the bowl, and then marry into the house, he will be too busy at night.

Prosperity and wealth are magnificent, beautiful and delicious.

Being exhausted and dying became a laughing stock, and Yingnian looks back with regrets.

A long strip of rice paper was spread out on the table of the Eight Immortals, and Li Guolou polished it gracefully, and every time he rubbed the ink, he was thinking of beautiful poems.In one go, the font is beautiful.

The title is "Bali Zhuang He, the bridegroom Dongqing and the bride Deng Shi", mandarin ducks in the spring breeze and silver hall, and the phoenix and the phoenix in the Tianyu Qionglou.

The sea is dry and the stone is rotten, and the sky is high and the land is wide and the sky is high.

The people around were awakened from the flattery just now, and looked at Li Guolou's strange expression. They never expected that Li Guolou had writing skills, and they admired Li Guolou's literary talent from the bottom of their hearts.

"Thank you Master Li for your inscription, the villain will treasure it for a lifetime." Holly held the banner with tears in her eyes, feeling inexplicably excited that a new life had come.

Li Guolou's face was smug, but his heart was worried and a little guilty. How could he write five congratulatory messages? The first congratulatory message had something in his belly, so it would be difficult to deal with later. He said in a hurry: "The five groom officials, I only have two brushes. Write another congratulatory speech, the other three owe it first, so I can’t write it today.”

Some people were happy and some were worried, a smart groom said anxiously: "Then please Mr. Li, write a couplet first."

"Okay!" Li Guolou readily agreed and continued to write his congratulatory message;;;;;;

Go down to the Jade Mirror Terrace to laugh and talk about good stories, and plant Lantian Jade to create a happy relationship.

Next, writing couplets is a piece of cake for Li Guolou. How many couplets do you see every Spring Festival? "Bi Fei is like a bird of Guan Sui, and the stalks are always open and the branches are pruned." "A ridge of peach blossoms is red and beautiful, and thousands of silver lamps attract beautiful people."

The five groom officials got the calligraphy and left with smiles on their faces.The others looked at Li Guolou jealously, and wanted Li Guolou to keep his calligraphy next time they found a reason.

After everyone left the living room, Li Guolou searched for his can of Huangshan Maofeng tea, but it was nowhere to be found. It was very easy to solve the case, but he felt it was unnecessary, so he could only laugh it off.There are many people and hands, and good things will be put in the bedroom in the future.As the supreme officer, a sip of wine is enough for the banquet at night. Li Guolou walked into the watchtower. He didn't drink good tea in the afternoon, and his throat was already weak. He had to take good care of his body at night.Tomorrow is another day, and Li Guolou returned to the Diaolou at a relaxed pace.

At this time, Li Guolou felt that it was difficult to be a local official, and he was miserable, and he was in contact with lowly people with low cultural level.There are also many dirty living habits, snot and saliva splashing everywhere, and I saw people holding boogers.He still likes to chat with the landlord Lao Cai. He originally wanted to treat everyone equally, but it is so boring to be around this kind of person. He is so disgusting that he almost vomited the overnight meal.Contributing to the country and the people, and benefiting the people at the bottom, we have to overcome this kind of difficulty.Marching to hear the stinky feet of the people around you, being close to the people has to face the saliva of the common people, and ruthlessly rejecting charming women, can these be overcome?

"Bah!" Li Guolou spit on the ground imitating the old farmer, who is afraid of whom.The big deal is to go shirtless tomorrow and plow the fields!If a woman wants to get close to him, don't even think about it. He already has a beautiful beauty, unless it is as peerless as Concubine Yang Gui.

In the hall on the ground floor of the watchtower, a sandbag is hung, and a suitable training ground has already been set up.Li Guolou glanced at it, stepped forward, and beat him a few times. "Well! Cheng Kun, well done, the doorknob is good, don't let the goblin in."

I thought to myself: After drinking at night, exercise here for a while to get rid of the alcohol and internal fire, so that I can sleep peacefully, otherwise, if I turn on the lamp in the middle of the night, the guards will laugh at me that there is a ghost in the room.

"Zha!" Cheng Kun, the captain of the guard, smiled, and the officer was not lewd, which made them, the guards, much less to talk about after dinner.

"Tomorrow, we will drink alone, and we won't be able to chat with Mudlegzi."

Li Guolou patted Cheng Kun on the shoulder and went upstairs to get some tea. Now that she is a young daughter-in-law, she has to hide and tuck everything in, and the daily necessities she brings are getting less and less.Li Guolou wrapped some tea leaves in kraft paper and did the math to make a pot of tea.He changed his clothes again, took off his official robe, put on a satin mandarin jacket, hid the tea in his pocket, and went out with two Camel cigarettes in his hand.

"Captain Li." Cheng Kun made a trembling voice.

"Hey!" Li Guolou sighed, and threw a cigarette to Cheng Kun, and the people around him had to settle down first.

"Captain Li, it's the bureau!" The two guards standing at the entrance of the round hole shouted, the spears in their hands were raised, and the military boots kicked on the ground, making a rattling sound.

"Tomorrow morning, do morning exercises for me!" Li Guolou said as he walked, and gave instructions to the guard captain Cheng Kun. The team of 100 people should let them have something to do and keep busy every day, so as not to be sneaky. thing.

"Punch!" Cheng Kun took the cigarette with one hand, and made a standard military salute to Li Guolou's back.Their hard-trained troops trained in accordance with the army's regulations, and their subordinates were mainly Han Chinese, who could bear hardships and did not have the bad habit of being spoiled.

"Captain Li is here!" Yingying Yanyan gathered around the entrance of the dining room, waiting for Li Guolou to choose.

"Yeah!" Li Guolou looked at the people in the living room with a smile, ignored the flirtatious woman, handed a cigarette to Ai Hai, clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations! Where are the bride and groom? Why don't you greet them at the door?" What about the guests?"

"Here we come!" The groom took the bride and ran to the gatekeepers to greet Li Guolou. The noisy scene began, and the people next to him deliberately pushed the bride and groom to make them collide.The banquet hadn't started yet, it had already started to make noise.

Although five couples of bridegroom and bride got married, this is Li Guolou's venue, with flattering smiles gathered around him, enjoying the stardom, and the sound of flattery and flattery.Li Guolou finally tasted the joys of being an official. He didn't have to take care of others, and someone poured wine and handed him a hot towel as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"The auspicious time has come!" Ai Hai was the emcee of the wedding with a loud voice, and the applause resounded through the dining room.

At the beginning of the banquet, Li Guolou stood up first and made a toast: "Guests, and friends who have come from afar, tonight is the beginning of happiness in Balizhuang. You five couples of bride and groom are ushering in a new life at this moment. , I send you the most sincere blessings, drink a cup of wine, get together and live a beautiful life, and give birth to a precious child soon!"

"Hahahaha!" There were cheers and laughter in the dining room, laughing as the bride and groom drank a cup of wine.

Li Guolou maintained his demeanor, enjoyed the delicious food and wine, took a sip of Huadiao wine, and smiled at the faces of all living beings.He wants the people in Balizhuang to live a truly happy life, not the paradise on earth imagined by the White Lotus Sect and the Baath Party, without leaving any regrets in his heart.Li Guolou calculated an account, his income was negligible, and the hard-earned money he paid would be hundreds of times the benefits he earned!Efforts have to be spent on the farmland, and life is exciting even if it takes a detour.
