late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the continuous drizzle, the carriage arrived at the Anhui Fellowship Hall, where the thank-you reception of "Yelia Charity Hall" was held. Dozens of luxury carriages were parked on the street, and the captain of the guard, Jack, led ten servants with umbrellas to welcome the carriage. For the distinguished guests who jumped up and down, several servants rushed forward to help them in case the distinguished guests would slip when they jumped off.

Two pregnant women, Yelia and Mayuko, stood under the lintel and bowed to the guests who entered the fellowship hall to express their gratitude. They also put small red flowers made of silk on each distinguished guest. Ribbon with guest name.

When the distinguished guests put on the red flowers, they all blushed a little, and laughed to cover up the past. The distinguished guests they knew greeted each other, chatting and laughing happily, and the guides Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu led the distinguished guests into the West Flower Hall.

There are 25 round tables in the flower hall, on which there is a red guest list, and bunches of pink peach blossoms in vases.

About [-] people were seated, and when the distinguished guests filed in, there would be a lot of noise when they entered.Li Jinglue, the president of the Anhui Township Association, had a red face, as if it was his place, and greeted the distinguished guests with fists together.I was annoyed in my heart: Li Guolou was playing tricks on him, knowing how to make the rich Ziyi Society businessman willing to pay, but he never told him to let him break his leg in the capital and find someone to donate to the Anhui Township Hall.

Li Jinglue's eyes lit up. He saw Hu Xueyan from Anhui Province and Zhao Deming, the manager, entered the flower hall and rushed to greet them. This is his God of Wealth.

"Boss Hu, Manager Zhao, you are here, please! I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Well, President Li has done a good job. You have caught all the people in our Purple Clothes Club. Can you see if there are any fish that slipped through the net?" Hu Xueyan looked around the scene in the flower hall, feeling jealous.

Hu Xueyan is a person who dares to be the first in the world, bravely being the first person to eat crabs, but he watched a group of girls squeeze into the business circle, disguise the business as charity, and catch big fish.How embarrassing is this for him, how can he pick up on others' wisdom, he can only pretend to be magnanimous and laugh it off.

Amidst the laughter, Zhen Yuhuan came forward to greet her, and interjected: "Boss Hu's family likes to joke, and they talk so funny, no wonder they please the little girl."

There was another burst of laughter, and Hu Xueyan proudly stroked his short beard, and said with a smile: "President Zhen, I am a big fish, and I can't escape your palm. It's a pity that I'm not a little boy, I'm a little older. "

Zhen Yuhuan's eyes were full of anger, and she said coquettishly: "Mr. Hu's family is necrotic, let me see if I don't get you drunk later." While speaking, Zhen Yuhuan helped Hu Xueyan to sit, just like helping her husband, making Hu Xueyan full of ambition Laughing non-stop.

Wan Shoulu, the president of the Purple Clothes Society, came with his family Xie Yunfang and the shopkeeper Ali Na, accompanied by Wei Xiaoliu, applause was heard again in the flower hall, and the guests rushed to each other, with endless topics, all of which were worries. A big businessman who cares about the country and the people.

Wan Shoulu said: "Boss Wei, why hasn't your employer seen anyone yet? It's all a group of wives doing business."

Wei Xiaoliu leaned forward and said, "Wan Dong's family, my master is out of the city on business and will come back in the afternoon. I just heard the news and will be here later."

"Oh;;;;;;" Wan Shoulu remained calm, he hoped that Li Guolou would do better and better, and the higher he climbed, the worse he would fall.So many women are showing their faces for Li Guolou, and they are sitting next to the distinguished guests. In the future, they will be brought into the harem by the big bosses of the Purple Clothes Society, and countless green hats are waiting to be worn by Li Guolou.

Xie Yunfang's long fingernails dug into her palms, her hatred buried in her heart, that Li Guolou actually had another woman.His eyes scanned Xie Xiuzhu and Zhen Yuhuan who were entertaining the guests, and there was a French bastard Yelia outside the door. It was these three rich and powerful women who supported Li Guolou.Those dubious women next to him heard that they were members of the "Mike Support Group". There are so many women in the corrupt harem, and they can't extricate themselves. What's so good about Li Guolou!Why didn't she see it when she grew up watching Li Guolou grow up?

"Little Six, when will your master's banking business start?" Xie Yunfang had a sarcastic look on her face, so what if the donation can reach tens of thousands of taels?The banking industry needs millions of taels of start-up capital. It's not that she underestimated Li Guolou. If the working capital reaches millions of taels, it can be called a wealthy country. There are only a handful of people in the Purple Clothes Club who have this strength.

"Oh, Wan Dong's family, Mrs. Xie, my boss and the third grandma's "Please Come to the Bank" are already making preparations in the British Concession in Tianjin. During this time, the elder brother of the boss is doing it. The third grandma will go to Tianjin in a few days .”

Xie Yunfang was dizzy when she heard this, but luckily her husband Wanshoulu supported her and didn't make her look ugly. The two looked at each other, hiding their hatred very well.Showing off her white teeth, she smiled brightly and said, "That's kind, my husband and I will come to Tianjin to support Xiaolou in person."

How could Wei Xiaoliu know the emotional entanglement between Li Guolou and Xie Yunfang, he smiled charmingly and bowed gratefully.Standing up to pour tea for the big bosses, he was very attentive, and he took care of all the people at the table. Wei Xiaoliu handled the scene with ease, moving among the distinguished guests with ease.

Chu Xiangyu walked up to the busy Chen Xiangfang with blushing cheeks, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, just now that four-eyed frog asked me how much money I would like to offer?"

Chen Xiangfang rolled her eyes and said: "What's there to be shy? It shows that you are attractive. Just tell the four-eyed frog that Xiaolou is a tiger of the Ministry of Punishment. Go and listen to Xiaolou's strength. Be generous in the future, and you won't die if you touch it a few times." Yes, don’t pour other people’s wine. If you can’t handle it, let Second Grandma and Seventh Grandma do it, they have thick skins.”

"Oh! Grandma, I'd better meet the guests at the door and let the fourth grandma sit down for a while." Chu Xiangyu's eyes were full of tears, and no one pityed her after making a compromise.

"Go, petty, you're not a chick, what are you afraid of if you try to seduce Brother Xiaolou!"

"Frog with four eyes, it's too ugly." Chu Xiangyu lowered her head, not daring to stay in the West Flower Hall, and walked out to greet the guests with a grunt.

Chen Xiangfang shook her head without shaking her head. Chu Xiangyu, who was born in a small family, couldn't be taken out. She still cried in public, and she was ashamed to be thrown at her grandma's house.She had long classified herself among the ranks of rich and noble ladies, and she glanced at her daughter dancing rubber bands with Shi Yatou, the little girl Liu Wei and others in the corner, and ignored them when they were having a good time.

After Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage and helped Xie Liya off, he said with a sour smile, "What a battle, Yelia, you are quite capable."

It was raining lightly, but Yelia was still standing under the lintel, and said proudly, "Mike, Shelia, you are back, did you have fun in the countryside?"

Xie Liya hurriedly jumped to Yelia's side, held her arms, flattered her horse, and said with a smile, "Yelia, I miss you so much when I don't see you. Giggle!"

Li Guolou said: "Yelia, Mayuko, I'm not too late."

With her slightly protruding belly, Mayuko said proudly: "Mike, as the host, you are late, but as the guest, you came uninvited. Heck, heck!"

Mayuko, Xie Liya, and Chu Xiangyu who had just walked to the gate laughed proudly together. They no longer had to follow Li Guolou's face and acted. They had their own careers and turned over to be the masters.

Li Guolou showed a wry smile, the grandmas didn't welcome him, they treated him as a thief who stole the fruits of victory, and asked warmly: "Why are you two standing at the door, it's windy and rainy, it's not good for your health. "

"Hey, for the sake of 240 five children who are alone, what are we?"

Li Guolou stumbled under his feet and almost fell out. He staggered and stood on his feet. He frowned, turned around and shouted, "Yelia, tell me again, how many orphans are there?"

"Oh! It's nothing, it's just that there are two orphanages in the city that can't continue to operate. The two directors there asked President Zhen to intervene. I saw those children and my heart softened. I accepted the two messes and prepared to start over again. Let’s integrate it and open a novel school. President Zhen said that the license is a one-stop service anyway, we let these orphans receive education directly, and then recruit some smart poor students, so that they have the opportunity to study abroad like you.” Yelia He said in a soft voice without paying attention, not daring to look at Li Guolou's twisted face.

Li Guolou said in a low voice: "Yelia, are you crazy, or are you all crazy? This kind of matter belongs to the country's foreign policy, and it should be decided by the prime minister. We will make our own decisions when we get it. Besides, we have more than enough heart but not enough power." , do you know how much money an international student needs? And those orphans are the material for studying? Do you understand genetics? What is a scholarly family? Do you understand it?"

"An old saying: It takes ten years to grow a tree, and a hundred years to cultivate a man. Mike, we are only in the initial stage, and difficulties are inevitable. Only when we face difficulties can we become a heroine. We can cross the river by feeling the stones." Yeliya glanced at Li Guolou, since it has already started, will not stop. The distinguished guests of Ziyi Society who come here, and their selfless support for their careers, are the witnesses of opening up the world of tomorrow.

Li Guolou stomped his feet anxiously, and said angrily: "Yelia, sometimes what I say is just rhetoric. You can't take idealism as the goal of your struggle. It's a castle in the air, just like the heaven in the Bible, and you can only find it after you die." visible."

Yelia stood proudly in the corridor of the cloister, staring at Li Guolou steadfastly, and retorted: "Mike, we all despise you, saying that idealism is unrealistic and utterly absurd. Ideals are lofty, and so are Great. The bible cannot be profaned. You are not a true catholic. Confess your sins to the priest. We made a decision and there is no going back. You either support us and stay here and do what you can. Or Go back and hide under the quilt, and watch us pioneers get more and more courageous, and now I give you 1 minute to choose." After speaking, Yelia blinked at Mayuko, and the two acted in unison, holding Li Guolou's arm, not letting him go. He has time to think.

"I, me, me, come back after so much hard work, why bother. You set your goals so high, it's called too high a goal." Li Guolou was unwilling to reconcile, and his family wanted to toss and clean up the family property at the beginning.

"Mike, what happened? You're overthinking. See the carriage outside? Today's thank you meeting is to invite the people from the Purple Clothes Club. We can afford to support more than 200 orphans. The "Yelia New Style School" must be started." The funds are already in place, but things are a bit messy at the beginning, and you are the one who can make the plan." Yelia laughed coquettishly.

Half of the stone in Li Guolou's heart fell, but he still frowned and said, "Yelia, you are the one who calls you out of the way?"

"Don't worry, those businessmen's vision is different from the past. They just think that I am French, and they feel that this matter is reliable. They say that I will hire foreign teachers so that the children will not be indoctrinated with those reactionary colonialism. Only then did President Wan of Ziyi Club support the establishment of "Yelia New Fashion School", and the name of this school was given by President Wan."

Li Guolou was still terrified when he heard this. Education would be criticized the most. If a piece of Chinese language was not well chosen, it would be a literary prison. Didn't this make him stay on the cusp of the storm?In the Qing Empire, even the emperor's teacher had a person who fell into the literary prison. Is it necessary for him to study the Chinese language assiduously and master every new Chinese language?

"Mike, I feel a little uncomfortable, I feel like I'm going to throw up." Mayuko stroked her slightly swollen belly, making a distressed look.Don't let Li Guolou come up with ideas and hinder their decision.

"Oh, Mayuko, be careful. I'll help you in, and you can sit next to me later, so I can rest assured." Li Guolou was interrupted from thinking, no longer worried about big things, he was too busy with family affairs.Thank you will just pass through in a muddle-headed way, and the grandmas can do whatever they want, anyway, with the help of Mike’s support team, the car will naturally go straight to the bridge.

"Mike, today is my place. You just need to be the man behind a successful woman. Do you understand what I mean?" Yelia's ambition was inflated, and she was afraid that Li Guolou would seize power, so she told Li Guolou to shut up later , Talk as little as possible.

"En!" Li Guolou nodded helplessly, the fine tradition of being a low-key person is his usual style at home.Even now, such things as serving the bed are arranged by the family members, as if Li Guolou felt that he was the Emperor Tongzhi and had no personal freedom.
