late Qing Dynasty arrest

On New Year's Eve, every family stays at home to watch the new year. On this day, they don't go out to visit relatives and friends. Li Guolou writes Spring Festival couplets for the servants, old ladies, servants, and Geshha in the mansion. Send a message to the inner government.Li Guolou is like working on an assembly line, walking around the desk all morning.After writing a couplet, send it outside, and the busy old lady will get two happy coins if she sends out a couplet.

The couplets are all ready-made, Xie Xiuzhu has already copied one, and Li Guolou copied it without any effort.

Xie Xiuzhu smiled and said: "Xiaolou, I also want to post Spring Festival couplets at home. If you write a good pair, it will spread around the capital."

"Okay! While I'm not old, I'll save more ink treasures, and find a knife catcher in the future." Li Guolou was covered with ink and swiped freely.

Book:[

In the sound of thunderbolt, the old year is eliminated, and the green bamboo is burned for panic.

"Too earthy!" Xie Xiuzhu shook her head, thinking that a pair of Spring Festival couplets was nothing new.

Li Guolou wrote again:

The sky-shattering explosion sounded all night, and the boiling ground sang the throat board to knock on the sandalwood.

Chun Niu hugged and patrolled Mo, and Ruilin's mother-in-law whirled around.

Xie Xiuzhu said: "It's not the right time, this is the capital."

Li Guolou glanced at Xie Xiuzhu, causing him to lose his wit and gray hair, and wrote:

Fire trees and silver flowers are blooming, and dragon lanterns dance on the bridge.

People reunite in the Spring Festival, and sing when they are drunk.

The playboy beats Meijiao, and the Yan Xia fights the sword hero.

Sleepless nights in the Forbidden City, Mo Gengchun in the agricultural altar.

"Well, this is the good husband-in-law Nunu found, and he wrote all the fun places in the capital." Xie Xiuzhu hugged Li Guolou, and her fragrant lips moved closer.

Wu Peipei praised: "Xiaolou, once you come out with this couplet, it has surpassed all the literati and poets invited by Hongjun, the number one scholar. Why did you come up with it? Mo Gengchun, Nongtan. Take me to the wedding, okay?" ?”

"Okay! My sister Peipei, don't be angry and cry at that time. Literati have very cheap mouths. They want to give face to the champion. They don't dare to play with singing prostitutes. They will turn their fire on you." Li Guolou seemed to see At the wedding banquet, literati and poets utter nonsense.

"Then I'll stay at home. I'll play cards with my sister." Wu Peipei picked up the couplet and wanted to stick it outside the gate for passers-by to take a look. The husband she is looking for is a talented man. This is the first couplet in the capital this year. , won by her family.

After writing more than 100 couplets, Li Guolou breathed a sigh of relief. Today's tasks are all completed, and the next step is to play.In the icy and snowy courtyard, the trees were covered with frost, and Li Guolou strolled around the courtyard leisurely.

A little greyhound followed Li Guolou wittily, and the clever animal knew who the master was.

"Lingling come here!" Standing in the corridor, Li Lingling ordered in a childlike voice.

Little Greyhound swallowed a few times, ignored the owner's call, and continued to follow Li Guolou. [

"Father, this dog is not good. I don't want it anymore." Li Lingling felt ashamed and complained to Li Guolou.

Chen Xiangfang raised her voice: "Silly boy, this is a bitch, of course it will circle around your father."

The wives standing in front of the door laughed coquettishly, and Li Guolou said angrily: "Ma'am, what are you talking about after Chinese New Year? This is called inheritance. Lingling's father and mother are my subordinates. Lingling Follow my orders, of course."

"Oh! I listen to my father." At Li Lingling's ignorant age, the person she believed most was Li Guolou.

Li Guolou stroked Li Lingling's little head, and said: "Lingling can't pet Lingling, that will destroy Lingling's martial arts, let Ma Dakuo train Lingling, in the future Lingling can help you catch birds and rabbits , and catch foxes.”

Li Lingling raised her head and said very seriously: "Father. Mom said Mrs. Fourteen was transformed by a fox spirit. Did you catch her?"

Li Guolou was angry and looked at Chen Xiangfang at the door. Chen Xiangfang hid her figure with a snort.Xie Xiuzhu said coquettishly: "Yes, Lingling, there are two vixen in the family, they belong to the same family, sister and sister, are you right?"

"That's right! Dad, like Wu Song, specializes in catching fox spirits. Lingling, go look in the mirror in the second lady's room, and you'll know what you were born with." Wu Yingzi lied and dazed, as if telling the secret of the world.

"It's a lie, I don't believe it. Dad is the third son of the retired four princes of the capital, not a Taoist priest who catches vixen." Nor does it take a picture of the ancient mirror in the second mother's room.

"Don't spoil your daughter. Mothers should be educated and reasonable. Our family is a family of great kindness. It takes [-] years to grow trees and [-] years to cultivate people. The burden of educating the next generation is on your shoulders. Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, Faith is the basic principle of being a human being. You must stick to your faith and go to church together tomorrow.” Li Guolou educates his family members with the three principles and five principles, so that the family can be peaceful. Although their family is an upstart, they will accumulate a scholarly family.

"Yes! Master, we understand." Yingying and Yanyan bowed together and bowed their heads to admit their mistakes to Li Guolou.

Li Guolou looked around, most of the family members were from low-class backgrounds and did not understand the importance of human relations and five elements. It is a long way to go to transform these women who are greedy for wealth into virtuous and virtuous women.Li Guolou hoped to train his wives to be well-bred ladies, and people from rich families are all great benevolent people.

Chen Xiangfang knows her mistakes and can correct them, so she walked with Li Guolou as a regular wife, and the family solemnly offered incense to their ancestors in the incense hall. It is a family tradition to pay homage to their ancestors.Their family believes in Catholicism and joined the Manchus. Now they celebrate the traditional Spring Festival. The beliefs of various religions are integrated together, and they hold various sacrificial activities. Anyway, there are many gods and gods.

During the Spring Festival, every day is gluttonous delicacies, there is no such thing as reminiscing about bitterness and sweetness. We eat Western food for lunch, eat less at noon, and eat and drink a lot at night.Li Guolou sat in the main seat, and looked at the tableware on the table, all of them were brand new silver tableware.

"Madam Seven, where did you buy this?" Li Guolou asked curiously.

"I didn't sell it outside. I ordered it from an American businessman. The price is kept secret, and money is not discussed during the Spring Festival." Zhen Yuhuan was afraid that Li Guolou would take an ideological and moral class, and would not give Li Guolou a chance to ask the truth.

"I don't bother to ask, are you and the second lady's congratulatory gifts ready? Don't embarrass me in the palace." Li Guolou is concerned about his wife's coming to the palace to celebrate the New Year. In the small game, there will also be rewards for melon seeds to the female relatives of the royal relatives.

"It's been prepared a long time ago. I made eight pairs of embroidered shoes for the two empress dowagers. I'll show you." Zhen Yuhuan glanced at Xie Xiuzhu. The competitor could only embroider handkerchiefs, and the embroidered pillow was a pack of grass, which was worse than her. a lot.

Xie Xiuzhu said: "Xiaolou, my hands are blistered, I did my best."

"Well, it's very good. I didn't make a fool of myself. The embroidered shoes are in the living room. I'll see them later." Li Guolou took a sip of Biluochun, looked around at the elegant ladies, and behaved well, in line with the etiquette of diplomatic occasions.

The tableware was carefully placed without making any harsh sounds, and the lady spoke softly, imitating Yelia's frown and smile.

Li Guolou said: "Seventh Madam, I want to eat pork head meat tonight. And our family's future priests and ancestors, don't put three animals, learn from Westerners, and hold a memorial service with candles." [

Chen Xiangfang put down her fork and said: "Xiaolou, it is a traditional virtue to pay tribute to the ancestors. The family members are also afraid of this one and that one. Can the children still kill the enemy and serve the country? Those bannermen's children will faint when they see the killing of chickens, really. Ashamed of my ancestors."

"Oh! That's right! Let's put the three animals on display, and the fourth lady will get used to it after looking at them more." Li Guolou said.

Zhen Yuhuan curled her lips and said: "Xiaolou, pig's head meat can be served, but pig's head is not allowed for eating. It's too scary. Do you want us to live?"

Li Guolou replied: "What's the matter, the third lady just eats like this in Xinwu Hall, cut the meat with a small silver knife, it's delicious."

"Well, it has the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty, and it's delicious." Yeliya raised her thumb, taking a big step in life, and dared to cut meat from the pig's head to eat.

Li Lingling said softly: "Show your hands to vote, if you disagree, please raise your hand."

In a moment of anger, even the old lady who was serving raised her hand, and there were only four people who did not raise their hands. Wanniang and Wu Yingzi belonged to Li Guolou's allied army.

Wu Yingzi laughed coquettishly, and said, "What's the point? We are in the restaurant, and the priests eat the pig's head after finishing the pig. There is no waste at all."

"That's eating me!" Li Guolou said with a smile, thinking of his portrait hanging in the brothel now.

"Hehehehe!" The West Flower Hall laughed wildly, without the restraint of talent just now, and clapped back and forth. There are many jokes in this family, which are spread by the people, making people praise and criticize.

Li Lingling didn't understand the joke, but she also faked a smile. Such a young child already knows how to act, and everyone in the big family is an actor.

In the afternoon, the energetic wife made a poker table, which happened to be a mahjong table and a card table.The exhausted wife went back to bed last night, and Li Guolou went back to bed alone. It was New Year's Eve, and tonight was another sleepless night.

Chu Xiangyu wins more and loses less in playing cards, and the wives believe that she steals cards, so as long as there are enough people, she will not be allowed to play at the poker table, and only let her fly flies for fun.It was the same today, Chu Xiangyu sat beside Chen Xiangfang, watching other people play cards.

While playing cards, Chen Xiangfang said: "Madam Six! We are Catholics. Don't go around praying to Buddha to ask for a child. It's not good to let Xiaolou know. You must know that Xiaolou has offended monks all over the world. Which temple are you talking about?" The Bodhisattva will bless you to give birth to a precious son."

Chu Xiangyu said angrily: "You all have fun, but I don't. Of course, I have to go to the doctor for sudden illness."

"What's the hurry? Take your time, it's like grinding tofu, you have to master the heat, Mrs. Six, you are still young, and you meet a monk who cheats money and sex outside, what do you think?" Wu Yingzi played a chicken, Not a single good word came out of his mouth.

Chu Xiangyu stood up angrily, and said, "Huh! You all bully me, I'll tell Xiaolou." After saying that, Chu Xiangyu walked out to complain to Li Guolou.

There was a burst of ridicule in the living room, Chu Xiangyu was not taken seriously, the threshold was very delicate, Chu Xiangyu went to court Li Guolou alone.

"Hey! It's hard to be a good person. I'm telling the truth, Ma'am, tell me." Wu Yingzi looked at Chen Xiangfang with a playful expression, and she didn't continue speaking.

"Touch!" Chen Xiangfang shouted: "Miss Twelfth, I know you are kind. There are too many big families doing this kind of thing. Madame Six will listen to her or not, so let her go. Her father is not named Bao Tong, crushed to death A nest of male thieves and female prostitutes is the time to light a lamp. Have you ever heard Xiaolou say that his heart aches when the family surnamed Yu died, and the hall of the Gelaohui was destroyed? Regardless of his business, I will say the same thing. "

Wu Yingzi said in a low voice: "With the eldest lady and the seventh lady looking after the house, this home is solid. But those foreign women must rely on self-discipline!"

"Well! The foreign woman has a big appetite, sooner or later it will be a disaster." Xie Xiuzhu did not forget to add that she hoped that the foreign woman would have sex with her. There are too many women in a family, and it is really annoying.

"I have my own sense of propriety, just watch it." Chen Xiangfang rushed out to give Wu Peipei a deck of cards, she didn't mind, the gain or loss was only a matter of thought, she wanted to win a big deck of cards.

Chu Xiangyu walked fast all the way, with an extremely ugly expression on her face. Although she has not yet reached the point of doom, she has already developed ambiguous feelings.How can I do?Standing behind the rockery, Chu Xiangyu thought over and over again, and made up her mind. The world's most poisonous woman's heart, since she killed her first love, Liang Chaoda, she must kill the void who made a fuss about her.

Chu Xiangyu didn't go to Li Guolou, but stepped out of the Li Mansion compound and went to the Li Mansion's other courtyard next door to find Jinyin.

"Jin Erzi, come out, I have something to ask you." Chu Xiangyu called out affectionately, slipping a bank note into Jin Yinlai's hand, and in a low voice accused Monk Kong Kong of the Reclining Buddha Temple for ruining her reputation.

Jin Yinlai listened with pricked ears, and said with a sinister smile, "Madam Six, it's a trivial matter. I won't accept the money. You take it back, otherwise the lord will think that I was bought by you. Don't cry, just pretend nothing happened, my lord." To make the master happy during the Chinese New Year, it’s okay to go back.”

Jinyin came to send Chu Xiangyu away, and then walked back, Zhang Haojie poked his head out in the room, and asked, "Second son Jin, what does the sixth lady want from you?"

"It's okay! If you have time, go to Yipintang to practice your skills. Would you like to go?" Jinyinlai asked.

"New Year's Eve" Zhang Haojie hesitated.

"Crack!" Jin Yinlai slapped Zhang Haojie on the head, and said angrily, "Don't be a villain, we are the vicious spirits raised by the master. If we don't go to hell, whoever will go to hell. Let's go! I have nothing to do in the afternoon, and I will visit the Temple of the Reclining Buddha first. , just in time to ask your wife for a mother-child safety lottery."

Zhang Haojie spied on the movement outside the door, and said in a low voice: "It's so fucking stupid, I don't even know if the seed in this girl's stomach is mine. If you say it is Lei Heng's seed, am I not a cheap old man?" dad."

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!) , don’t be unhappy looking for it yourself. Li Lingling is not a cheap daughter, and the master likes it very much, learn from it.”

"Understood! I will never say such stupid words again." Zhang Haojie drank the last drop of wine in the wine cup, and he had a new understanding.

Zhang Haojie went into the room and changed his clothes, said to his wife who had a swollen belly, "Xiu Gu, Jin Erzi and I went to the Reclining Buddha Temple to burn incense, and I will ask you for a mother and child safety lottery, and come back for dinner in the evening.

Xiugu looked at Zhang Haojie kindly, and said: "Thank you, my husband, go early and come back early." After finishing speaking, Xiugu patted the dust on Zhang Haojie's clothes, like a loving couple.

Xiugu was one of more than 200 female prisoners of war in the Gelaohui. According to the unspoken rules of the Qing army, Li Guolou made all these female prisoners of war the wives of Li Ziying soldiers, and they were all paired overnight. At that time, these female prisoners of war were Crying to death, to death.They are all living well now, and no woman wants to go back to the Northwest after coming to the capital.Xiugu is very beautiful, so she is taken in by Zhang Haojie and becomes the wife of a military officer. She lives a comfortable life.As for her ex-man, Lei Heng, Xiugu didn't like it at all. He was also forcibly taken over by Lei Heng back then, and all men are beasts.

Xiugu stood at the gate of the compound, sending Zhang Haojie out, thinking of Zhang Haojie's kindness to her, stroking her belly, and said to herself: "Son, when I grow up, I will avenge my mother and kill Zuo Zongtang."

Xiu Gu considers herself a chaste and martyr, with an indomitable spirit, and buries deep-seated hatred in her heart.Li Guolou is just the master, there is no good or bad, the night he was brutally raped by Zhang Haojie, it was like a dream, the husband worked diligently for the master, promoted step by step, and let her live a happy life.

Xiugu lit three sticks of incense, kowtowed and said, "God bless Li Guolou and his family to live a long life. Ah, door!"
