late Qing Dynasty arrest

In the early morning, in Hongchang Hutong, Grandma Yexiang pushed a small cart and began to collect toilets from every household.Li Guolou was squatting by the well to wash up, while the annoying Qian Shuiping was nagging endlessly, blaming Li Guolou for always disturbing the sleep of the people in the yard when he came back at night, and drinking wine to make mistakes, and the ending of drinking flower wine It's just wasting my whole life, digging out all the bones of my body, what does it look like.

Li Guolou was still as usual, not daring to refute. Some people in the yard were already dissatisfied with Li Guolou, and showed him a bad face, and stopped greeting him.

Li Guolou looked up at the sky, he knew that he would not stay here for long, the nature of his errand was destined to leave early and return late, without time constraints.Should he be independent and have his own home, whether to rent a yard first or buy a house, Li Guolou has not yet made up his mind.

First find a yard closer to the yamen, tidy things up, Li Guolou finished washing, and said cheerfully: "Sister Qian, I didn't drink flower wine, I was drunk by the officer, who sent me back yesterday Yeah, I don't even remember."

Qian Shuiping glared at his eyes angrily, and shouted, "It's a bald man who looks at your house like a thief. I'll watch it for you."

"Oh!" Li Guolou stood up and said, "Sister-in-law Qian, that's my subordinate, not a thief. It's just that she is used to being a fast catcher and likes to spy on other people's privacy. She is still a pretty good person."

Qian Shuiping said without hesitation: "It's the first time I've seen a policeman with a bald head. He looks like a gangster. You can't tell he looks like a good guy."

Li Guolou smiled and didn't refute anymore. The eldest son was selected among the dwarfs. There is no kind person in the yamen. They are all corrupt criminals, and there are people who commit crimes.But no one does the thing of oppressing the common people.Everyone is begging for a living, as long as there is no handle in the hands of the government, they will not come to ask for bribes to gain benefits.

It was rare for Hong Gu to get up so early, so she beckoned Li Guolou to talk, but Li Guolou couldn't refuse in the yard, so she put the toilet utensils in the washbasin and walked towards Hong Gu.

With her hips on her hips and her chest up, Honggu said dissatisfiedly, "The fake foreign devil is talking to me, do you want to wear a shield? Put it down for me, I have something big to tell you."

Li Guolou put down the washbasin, and asked with a hey smile, "Gu Hong, a good friend has been caught."

Honggu scolded angrily: "Fuck you little bastard, you dare to eat my sister's tofu, and tell you something that no one will believe, come with me!"

Seeing Wang Kuaizui nodding to him, Li Guolou felt a little suspicious, so he followed Honggu to a corner of the courtyard.

Honggu first took out a bank note with a number of 100 from her sleeve, handed it to Li Guolou with a smile, and said, "Fake foreign devils, you won't believe me if you tell me. I picked up a young man yesterday, and he paid [-] taels for it." Silver reward. Your sister is still charming. Hehehehe!"

Hong Gu laughed so hard that her breasts trembled wildly.

Li Guolou held up the bank note and looked up and down, studying it repeatedly.I don't believe that there is such a person who would spend 100 taels of silver on Hong Gu. A prostitute who is not worth a tael of silver must be a fake silver ticket to have such an adventure.

Hong Gu dissatisfied: "Don't look at the fake foreign devils. I've already gone to the ticket office to check. If it's real, don't be real. You can exchange it for 100 taels of silver right away."

Li Guolou said: "Then why don't you exchange it quickly, if it's stolen money, your work is not in vain."

Hong Gu took back the silver ticket and said with a smile on her face, "Fake foreign devil, what do you know? Do you know what distinguished guest I picked up?"

Li Guolou replied: "It must not be a good person, or it is just a young man, who didn't understand the market and was slaughtered by you."

Hong Gu let out a "bah" and said: "I told you that I think highly of you, if this young man hears what you say, you will kill everyone."

Li Guolou was dissatisfied and said: "Gu Hong, then tell me, you didn't hurt me."

Honggu couldn't hold back her happy mood, and said, "I can't help it. Only you are a person with your own opinions, so I will tell you. That Xiaolang is a veteran in the field of love, and he is very powerful. His underwear is yellow, and the whites of his eyes are thin." face, and the two attendants have drake voices."

Li Guolou was startled, and looked at Honggu, but seeing Honggu nodding slightly to him, both of them felt incredulous.

Li Guolou lowered his voice and said, "Gu Hong, does your husband know?"

Honggu hissed and said, "How dare I tell him what happened next, his stinky mouth, don't let my head fall to the ground, you and I are the only one who knows. Xiao Lang also said that I have a smell, in the future Still coming."

Li Guolou blushed when he heard this, and felt it was too incredible, he said, "Guy Hong, be careful, don't mention this matter to others, and don't think about Xiao Lang day and night, just follow the fate of everything. Do you understand?"

Hong Gu sighed: "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in my life. Who told us that we are destined. From now on, you have to cover me."

Li Guolou knew what Hong Gu meant, for Hong Gu didn't have a background in cooking pheasants, and when she met clients who reneged on their bills and got free food, he could only swallow the pain in his stomach, and even local ruffians would ask her for favors.Now that he is working in the yamen, Hong Gu wants him to stand out and protect her from disasters and harassment from hooligans.

Li Guolou nodded with a wry smile and said, "Guy Hong, as long as you don't talk about me, I will stand up for you. I think you are not too young, so don't do this job anymore. I will find someone for you in the future." It’s a good place for you to open a restaurant and be a bustard. Oh! I’m wrong, Hong Gu is still doing business. Opening a tea house can support the family.”

Hong Gu beamed with joy, and said: "I like to open restaurants, Wang Kuaizui wants to open teahouses all day long, foreign devils, why don't you cover my two restaurants."

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Don't dream, Honggu, do you have so much money? I don't think I have the strength to open a restaurant."

Hong Gu smiled, and said: "Unrealistic dreams may not be impossible to realize, maybe I can still be a harem lady." After speaking, Hong Gu raised the silver ticket in her hand.

Seeing Honggu's triumphant appearance, Li Guolou could only shake his head and smile wryly. What kind of world is this? The young Emperor Tongzhi ran out of the palace and came to the people.Find the cheapest pheasant for fun, tell others to know, and lose the face of the Qing Empire.

When Li Guolou returned to the south room, he was taken aback for a moment, Qian Shuiping and Wu Cuilian were both in the living room, it was rare for two elder sisters-in-law to look for him together.

Li Guolou anxiously said: "Two sisters-in-law, can you give me a cleanse? I just arrived at the Yamen and my buttocks are not hot yet, so I don't have much ability."

Qian Shuiping waved his hand, stopped Li Guolou, and said, "Whoever brings up the yamen business with you, let's talk about your son's business with you early in the morning to make it auspicious."

The two women were in a scene, and Li Guolou was eager to ask Li Guolou to help Wen Shuijuan and Wei Xiaoliu pull the red line.

Li Guolou's head got dizzy when he heard it, how old is he, and when he gets to be the old man, he refuses at first.Then the breakfast was not served, and Qian Shuiping and Wu Cuilian insisted in his ears, yelling that Li Guolou must come forward to help.

Li Guolou said helplessly: "You two sisters-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, because the master is dead, so we can't talk about this kind of thing at this time, isn't it my mouth to say it?"

This reason is reasonable, to suppress the arrogance of Qian Shuiping and Wu Cuilian.But never backing down, and began to discuss how to let Wei Xiaoliu and Wen Shuijuan meet by chance, so that the two lovers have the opportunity to flirt.

Li Guolou didn't respond positively, which made Qian Shuiping furious, and shouted: "Fake foreign devil, what were you and Honggu doing just now?"

Li Guolou replied: "The neighbor next door is saying hello in the yard."

Qian Shuiping snorted and said, "Gu Hong has never gotten up so early before, just waiting for you to talk, you fake foreign devil is getting more and more dishonest."

Li Guolou laughed and said, "Who told me to wear tiger skin now, Honggu asked me to cover her, you all know this kind of thing, it's not a big deal."

Wu Cuilian gritted her teeth, and said, "Fake foreign devil, you are willing to help Honggu's broken shoes, but not our widowed mother and daughter, where is your conscience?"

Seeing the two sisters-in-laws about to spit at him again, Li Guolou couldn't help but give in, cupped his hands and said, "Two sister-in-laws, I will definitely let Cowherd and Weaver Girl meet each other, but don't trust me to succeed or not."

Another round of criticism, the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the magpie bridge, how can Yuelao not help?Li Guolou knew that he couldn't reason with the two women, and Wu Cuilian was about to cry any further.Li Guolou was forced to have no choice but to agree to the request of the two elder sisters-in-law.

Finally, the steaming millet porridge was served. Li Guolou didn’t see Niu Niu and Niu Niu. After asking, he found out that the two children lived in the school. He felt a little disappointed, as if there was no laughter around him, and the house was a bit deserted.

Qian Shuiping seemed to see Li Guolou's thoughts, and smiled and said: "Fake foreign devils, don't forget the banquet the day after tomorrow, Niuniu and Niuniu came back from leave."

Li Guolou nodded and said: "I can't forget, I have already notified my good friends and invited the theater troupe. In the afternoon, you will ask the neighbors to go to the theater."

Qian Shuiping and Wu Cuilian couldn't help cheering when they heard that there was still an opera to listen to. For ordinary people, listening to opera is the most luxurious enjoyment.

Li Guolou was picking up the hot porridge, and suddenly remembered something, and said: "Sister Qian, if someone comes to eat free food, as long as it is full, don't drive them away, open another table for them to eat, and give them thirty Wen before leaving. It's the rules."

Qian Shuiping and Wu Cuilian didn't go out very often, and they didn't know the atmosphere at the banquet. They looked at each other and shouted together: "Ah! There is still such a rule."

Li Guolou raised his voice and said: "Yes! Don't break the rules and cause me to lose my job. Do you understand?"

Qian Shuiping gritted his teeth and said, "My husband only earns [-] Wen a day from morning to night. I hold banquets and treat neighbors to dinner. I don't have any red envelopes, but I still have to pay [-] Wen. This rule is really unreasonable."

Li Guolou didn't look up, and said while eating: "Don't worry, Mrs. Qian, those Manchurians will also give gifts. If the gift is light and affectionate, you can accept it."

Wu Cuilian said, "Don't be a goose feather."

Li Guolou laughed out loud, as if he saw those Manchus who were freeloaders with a goose feather stuck in their heads.
