late Qing Dynasty arrest

People on the cold and windy street shrank their necks and walked carefully, and snowballs would be thrown from nowhere.Li Guolou's attire attracted the attack of patriotic children, and he fled after being shot several times.

Seeing the gold-lettered signboard of "Baozhi House" hanging high, Li Guolou was proud. Mr. Bao's handwriting was many times better than his, and the handwriting of high-ranking officials was worth thousands of gold. It was an unspoken rule in the Qing Empire that real estate was exchanged for high-ranking officials' banners. There were many high-ranking officials' banners in his family, all of which were obtained with money.

There was a guy at the door of the shop cleaning the windows. That was Zhou Xiaohuan, who was originally Li Guolou's next-door neighbor. Li Guolou didn't like this guy very much. Guolou asked Zhou Xiaohuan to work as a handyman in Baozhi's room.Zhou Xiaohuan doesn't know how to flatter anyone, and she doesn't even have the qualifications to see off guests respectfully.

The decoration here is not all the classic route of the palace. Walking into the front yard of the restaurant, a small stream was dug. There are a few big fish and a few turtles in the meandering stream, and some Taihu stones are arranged on the side. Low shrubs and red bricks block the noisy street outside.The first thing you see when you come in is that it is clean, simple and uneven. There is a big rooster in a corner of the courtyard.

Li Guolou slandered at that bastard, it would be better to raise a crane. "Turtle Crane Yannian" was made nondescript by Na Bazi.However, there are some meanings of pastoral scenery, and the majestic momentum cannot be achieved here, so we can only find another way.

There are two calligraphy and paintings of Ren Bonian hanging high in the hall, one is a peacock spreading its tail, and the other is a picture of three friends. This is a famous painter of Li Guolou's family and lives in Shanghai.Li Guolou hangs his paintings in the most conspicuous position in order to elevate Ren Bonian's status as a painter.This kind of thing is what rich people who collect paintings are best at. When Ren Bonian dies, these paintings will be priceless.

When Li Guolou came in, he was not looking for Chen Xiangfang, but admiring the paintings in the hall.Na Bazi was very dissatisfied, walked to the side, and said: "Xiao Lizi, I was in a daze when I entered the door, and I smelled Ai Baldy's stinky feet at night."

Li Guolou didn't care about that bastard's nonsense, and sighed: "That bastard, you are really short-sighted. From now on, these two paintings are worth the value of five Baozhi houses, and they are not worth ten thousand yuan. I am lucky. Lived in the same era as Ren Bonian."

Na Bazi said without cutting: "Hmph! Who doesn't know this. I still live in the same era as Zhao Mengfu. Ren Bonian's paintings are now at most 20 taels of silver. Who are you fooling?"

Li Guolou was furious, gesticulating and said: "Bazi, look at it clearly, this is not a three-foot scroll, but a seven-foot scroll, it's more than 50 taels."

Na Bazi nodded and said, "Okay! Even if it's 200 taels, I'll take it back for a few days and let you get 2000 taels later."

Li Guolou twitched his lips and said: "Well, everyone is good at it. Zhao Mengfu can't draw Ren Bonian's paintings. Understand? It's useless to give you a year, this can't be faked."

Na Bazi rolled his eyes and understood that to be an elegant and rich man, one must learn to collect. Now he learns everything from Li Guolou, but he doesn't learn how to dress, because he has to deal with people in the palace.However, the gold pocket watch was also hidden in the skirt, so he took out the pocket watch and looked at it, and said: "Little Lizi, you are late, what time did you say?"

Li Guolou raised his head and said, "I have something to do. I met Uncle Li just now. I had a chat with him. He came over for lunch and asked the kitchen to cook some good dishes."

Na Bazi glanced at him and said, "Don't call, I'm already making it. If you eat less food, you can get more chopsticks. Mmm! This tea is very good. I'll send it to the second grandma, and I'll just say you gave it to me. Don't let it go." People think you only take money, and you never think of her."

Li Guolou looked anxious, blinked his eyes, and told the guy not to talk nonsense, this kind of joke is not allowed, and Chen Xiangfang is in the kitchen.

Li Guolou asked: "Have all the people who stole the teacher come?"

Na Bazi said angrily: "It's all Wang Wu's stinking mouth, and they're all in the kitchen. Don't go there, there are too many people."

Li Guolou said again: "What about your sister?"

Na Bazi turned pale with shock, and said: "Xiao Lizi, you are really a detective. You counted on my sister's first visit today. You are the roundworm in my stomach."

Li Guolou sneered and said, "Just like you, I don't know how many fancy intestines you have. I just let you take advantage of it. You think I don't understand the world."

Na Bazi said: "I understand! Great wisdom is like stupidity, and Zhu Bajie is a model."

Li Guolou was furious, strangled that Bazi's neck, and said: "You bastard, you are taking advantage of me again, looking for a pump!"

"Bang!" There was a sound of bowls breaking from the kitchen, Li Guolou quickly stopped fighting with that bastard, who said: "Little Li, don't go there, so you don't worry about it, it's pure if you don't see it."

Li Guolou heard the sound of a stack of bowls breaking, and couldn't help but feel pain, and asked, "Is it expensive?"

Na Bazi said: "The dishes have already been changed, so there is not much to lose."

Li Guolou said: "Then I'm relieved, let's go! Let's sit upstairs for a while."

Upstairs are all private rooms, Li Guolou looked around the layout of a private room, and sighed: "Bazi, your vision is still not good, divas are singing, and there are people playing board next to them, such a small place , where did you ask the person who hit the board to sit?"

That bastard was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about this level before, so he hurriedly shirked his responsibility and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I have a few occasions, so I don't care about it."

The two couldn't help arguing about what responsibilities should be borne by both parties. This kind of thing has not happened once or twice. They don't care.Now Baozhi's room has become their face, everything must be perfect, and the two of them will quarrel for a long time because of some small details.

Nayan's elder sister, Na Yan, came in with a tea tray and scolded: "Stop making noise, what does it look like for the guys to hear, it's still the boss. It's louder than a rooster, and it can be heard even on the street."

Li Guolou glanced at Na Yan, and said: "Nazi, let me remind you first, uniforms! This is a serious business, don't make me look like a flower full of flowers. The sister-in-law in the waiting hall should not be painted, walk Don't twist your ass like the Manchurian."

Na Yan gasped for breath, pointed at Li Guolou's nose, and said, "Fake foreign devils, that's how our Manchus walk, what can you do!"

Li Guolou waved his hands and argued, "Sister, I'm not talking about you. What are you participating in? The movement of twisting the snake's waist with a handkerchief makes me uncomfortable."

Na Bazi smoothed things over and said: "Sister, we are talking about business, you don't come to join the peace, there must be rules in everything, some have to learn from the Han people, and some have to learn from the Manchus, didn't Xiao Lizi say that it is not good for us to be Manchus?" , you should learn the basic skills of serving dishes well."

Na Yan took the tea tray and left. Before leaving, she glared at Li Guolou, and Na Bazi sighed: "Little Li, you just want to please girls. My sister yelled at you."

Li Guolou scolded angrily: "Continue to talk about the business, don't talk nonsense. Where did you just say?"

Na Bazi said: "It's about how to do business without losing money."

The two couldn't help laughing together. People do business to make money, but they just started doing business but they were thinking about how to reduce their losses.

Na Bazi said: "My friend is broad and the road is wide. It is inevitable to treat guests here. It is a loss, but it is also good for the popularity. It will make money in the future. After half a year of popularity, I don’t want you to pay any more money. It will be resolved."

Li Guolou stood up, looked out of the window, and said: "Now there are many people waiting to see our jokes, and some people are stumbling us. You have to bring guards when you go out in the future, and raise a few servants. You don't want to You are too close to Wang Wu. There are many people around him now. Since you are taking the high-end route, don’t stay with the lower-class people. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has the most taboos. Your words and deeds will be reported to the higher-ups. Fortunately You are a Manchu, and you can bring a lot of convenience, don't let the people of the Wei family see through your background."

Na Bazi listened very seriously at first, but then he became displeased and retorted: "Xiao Lizi, what are you talking about? Could it be that my foundation is not clean? My ancestor was Lord Kangxi's personal guard Batulu, The number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, your ancestors were farmers."

Li Guolou retorted: "Batulu is a sheep herder, you think your ancestors are noble."

The two disagreed, and began to quarrel again, as if the two of them had never been together without quarreling.

After arguing for a while, Li Guolou asked: "Bazi, why are you still doing your old job?"

Na Bazi smiled and said, "Why don't you do it? It's a smooth business, and I'm happy to run errands and earn some small money."

Li Guolou said: "This is the best way, maybe it will be useful in the future. The Wei Mansion is on guard against you, and Xie Xiuzhu will still use her slaves. The reason we made a move is because they can't do without us now. After you pass this hurdle, you will be dumped by Xie Xiuzhu. In the future, you will still do what you are good at, and I will help you to the top."

Na Bazi thought for a while, and said: "It's only [-]% of the shares, what can I do. Second Mistress can pretend, and even asked the staff to report to me. Now that you remind her, she thinks she is fake."

Li Guolou said: "A powerful woman, Zhenbaoxuan will not be defeated in her hands, share some money in the future, don't get involved in Hehe and the Wei family's affairs."

That Bazi laughed and said: "Yes, eat ready-made food to avoid future troubles. In fact, I am not interested in doing business like them. I am too busy to wipe dust all day long. It is as boring as it is. I still like it." Mixing with you, don't need to pretend to be arrogant."

Li Guolou smiled and said, "My godson, how is it now?"

Nabazi said cheerfully: "Don't worry, when this place opens, he will arrange banquets for you for ten days, but there is only one table at a time. Their business is very secretive, and there are too many people to make trouble. You have to understand this."

Li Guolou glared and said, "You smile so sinisterly, do you want to bring Second Grandma?"

Na Bazi twisted his thigh with his hands, and said with a sad face, "Xiao Lizi, what are you talking about? The second grandma is still in mourning, and she doesn't cross the gate or step through the second gate. How could she come here?"

Li Guolou looked at the expression of that bastard, feeling at ease, and said with a long sigh of relief: "I'm relieved, I don't know why when I heard the words "Second Grandma", my heart skipped a beat. Infinity! I'm no fool."

Na Bazi was surprised, and asked suspiciously: "Xiao Lizi, are you sick? The second grandma's family background is so rich, don't you like it? Both money and sex!"

"In the future, I will be the third elder brother who will be famous in the future. I will be a famous person in the capital. You think I will be teased all my life and become the laughing stock of the world. I have shied away from the tricks that the little six sons set on me. When you stop doing Zhenbaozhai business , I will quit the shares and never have anything to do with Xie Xiuzhu." Li Guolou said firmly.

Na Bazi raised his voice and said: "Well, I feel at ease in this way." He said in his heart: Hmph!Fake foreign devils are prudish, always talking about the second grandma in their mouths, and thinking about the second grandma in their dreams!He will tell Wei Xiaoliu later.
