Business was booming at the Pace Western Restaurant on Sunday. Li Guolou came in with two fake foreign girls, which immediately attracted the attention of people around him. He saw Jelia and Wood sitting by the window drinking tea and hurriedly raised their top hats.
.
"Mike!" "Uncle Mike!" Someone next to him called Li Guolou.
Du Xianyu was having dinner with his whole family. The eldest wife and the youngest wife were British women named Luo Lin. Li Guolou knew that Luo Lin was a poor British woman from the lower class who was a maid. In the past, the only staple food was bread, and butter was also inferior workmanship.
Factory products. Her father was an Arsenal miner, and her daughter Luo Lin married Du Xianyu. The family lived in a bungalow in London, England, and became urbanites. Now Luo Lin and Du Xianyu are pretending to be ladies, and there is no engagement.
of Christians.
Du Yingying, Du Xianyu's 12-year-old daughter, also called Li Guolou and extended her little hand for Li Guolou to kiss her.
Li Guolou couldn't refuse, and etiquette still had to be respected. After greeting Du Xianyu and his family, he said: "Boss Du, I'll tell you the good news later. There's a fire in my backyard now. I have to put out the fire."
"I'll come find you later, and ask the other brothers who are playing here to come with me. Mr. Bao is willing to get on the boat." After saying this, he blinked and told Du Xianyu that something good was about to happen.
Du Xianyu shouted: "Mike, don't lie to my daughter. Why are you winking at her? Aren't two people enough? How many do you want?" He was a little dissatisfied. His daughter only looked at people and stretched out her hands to be kissed. Her little hands are precious.
Here we go. How can we let Li Guolou take advantage? He wants his daughter to find a purebred British son-in-law.
Li Guolou smiled awkwardly and said, "Goodbye Yingying! Come to Baozhifang for dinner during the Spring Festival."
Du Yingying's childlike voice did not change, and she said sweetly: "Uncle Mike, your two girlfriends are so strange, can't they walk?"
Li Guolou looked confused, shook his head and said, "Don't tell me if you know it, they are country bumpkins and rarely wear leather shoes."
Du Xianyu and his family showed a sneer. They were noble British people, and Li Guolou was not on the same level as them.
Jelia Wood gave Li Guolou a problem when she came up. She was mean and deliberately made things difficult for Li Guolou. She chose a table that was not a round table, but a row of four seats by the window, with two pairs of high-backed sofas sitting opposite each other.
How can Li Guolou sit down?
Li Guolou hesitated for a moment, took a few steps to sit next to Yelia, and said hurriedly: "Xiaofang, Second Grandma, please sit down. Let me introduce you first;;;;;;;"
After the ceremony, Jelia took out two beautifully packaged small boxes and said with a smile in broad-tongued Chinese: "Madams, this is my meeting gift. If it's not disrespectful, please accept it."
Li Guolou said anxiously: "Xiaofang, you can't open it here, it's very rude."
I lamented in my heart that the rubes are just rubes, and the two grandmothers went to a foreigner's Western restaurant to embarrass him. They were humiliating him.
Xie Xiuzhu had seen a big scene. She was not used to it after entering, but she soon recovered. She could talk to Yelia about the scene, what the weather was like, how dirty the streets were, how beautiful her clothes were, and how white her skin was.
Li Guolou ordered the food for the two grandmothers in a gentlemanly manner. They couldn't let them choose this burden themselves. He knew what the two grandmothers liked to eat, so there should be no problem in making do with Western food.
Jelia Wood read the menu and ordered the food by herself, with a haughty look mixed with a few words in French to let the waiter know that she was a superior person and only drank French wine.
Li Guolou solemnly told Yelia that Chen Xiangfang, who was opposite, was the heir to cooking the palace dishes of the Qing Dynasty, which were many times better than the dishes here. As for Xie Xiuzhu, she was even more impressive, a first-class socialite, a woman who only sells her skills but not her body.
.
Chen Xiangfang knew the etiquette of eating Western food, and Xie Xiuzhu learned it immediately, without making Li Guolou look bad. Everyone talked softly, and it seemed like a gathering between friends, but in the whole restaurant, there was only one man, Li Guolou, and three women.
Something extremely conspicuous.
It was finally recognized that Li Guolou and Yelia were the prom prince and princess of the British Club. Some foreigners took the initiative to say hello, and some suggested a toast to the prom prince and princess. Then all the foreigners in the western restaurant raised their glasses and shouted loudly.
Bless them both, "Chase!"
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Grandma, I'm not lying to you. Yelia is trying to save face for me, and I will take you two to dance in the future."
Xie Xiuzhu smiled and nodded, agreeing to dance a Western pas de deux in the future. Chen Xiangfang shook her head and refused. Unless she was beaten to death, she would never dance with a foreign devil for the rest of her life.
The friendly and peaceful atmosphere continued, and the three ladies were raising their glasses to toast. Li Guolou translated for a while into Chinese and then into English. His thighs were touched several times by Jelia, and a few bruises were pinched. But from his perspective
Their expressions showed the same smile as before, which did not make the two grandmothers feel that they had been ruthlessly abandoned.
Du Xianyu came to toast Li Guolou with a goblet. Li Guolou stood up hurriedly and wanted to introduce Yelia. Unexpectedly, the two of them knew each other, so they gave an intimate kiss to each other in public. Du Xianyu
Yu also talked French with Yelia, leaving Li Guolou aside.
Seeing the opportunity, the other four fake foreign devil friends of Li Guolou hurriedly came to meet the French beauty with wine glasses and gave her a kiss, which made Li Guolou stare blankly and the two grandmothers burst into laughter.
Before leaving, Du Xianyu patted Li Guolou on the shoulder and said: "Young people are to be feared. I will tell you everything about my boss later. You are not allowed to hide your secrets."
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Mr. Du, long-sleeved dancing is my role model. Please come to Baozhi Room for next week's event. It's okay to listen to oriental music."
Du Xianyu said: "To give you face, go and invite the singer from Jiaofeng Tower to join in the fun. I want to see the foreign language of the oiran Sai Jinhua."
Li Guolou smiled furtively and said, "Mr. Du, if you don't behave in a dignified manner, you will be shocked."
Du Xianyu winked and said: "Mike, is it difficult to understand? Is Sai Jinhua coming?"
Li Guolou nodded affirmatively, giving Du Xianyu reassurance.
Li Guolou sat down again, and Xie Xiuzhu sighed and said: "Sister Xiaofang, now I know why Mr. Bao took Xiaolou to the British Guild Hall."
Chen Xiangfang was wondering how to make puff biscuits? She casually said: "Why?"
Xie Xiuzhu ignored Li Guolou's pleading look and said: "Xiaolou is the role of a pimp, can't you see it? He only talks about his heroic side, and you have to discover the other side yourself."
Jelia burst out laughing and said, "Little by little, I did a great job in laying the groundwork in the early stage."
Chen Xiangfang held a piece of puff biscuit and said with a smile: "A little cream makes it more delicious. Xiaolou is good at civility and martial arts, so the three of us enjoy it together. Mrs. Yelia, you should use it sparingly. His Xiaolou is sluggish today."
I'm so depressed that I can't even smile."
Yelia understood it and said: "Don't worry, madams, I will bring Mike back in perfect condition. I have seen your store today. I only looked at Baozhifang from the outside, and I also bought a store from Zhenbaoxuan."
Set the dishes and take them as gifts. They returned the gift and gave me three boxes of ginseng. I just gave you two boxes of ginseng. The high-end Korean old wild ginseng costs fifty taels of silver a piece, which is rarely seen outside.
I was asked to give this box of antlers to Mike in person."
After saying that, Jelia picked up a bag from beside his feet and handed it to Li Guolou. The meaning was a bit ambiguous. Let's replenish our bodies together in the winter and go up the mountain to hunt tigers.
Li Guolou is holding this box of antler, his hands are hot and his face is burning. He is the one who collects the stolen goods. How will he catch the thieves in the future? Now that the stolen goods are guaranteed to be transferred, will Yesenia's theft gang leave the capital? This
The theft gang has been preparing for such a long time, where will they start? Zhenbaoxuan has escaped, who will be the next unlucky guy? All kinds of doubts make Li Guolou feel uncomfortable, and he feels that Bordeaux red wine has a bitter taste. The cause and effect cycle continues,
All the bad consequences will come to him one day.
Xie Xiuzhu said: "Hey, it seems that the small building is still very popular. Without Mrs. Jelia, there are substitutes. The French are so generous, even the substitutes are willing to give to the lover."
Yelia let out a long sigh, her eyes became moist, and she started to cry. She no longer had the image of a noble lady. This made Li Guolou next to her feel very embarrassed. They were talking well, eating well, and they were just joking with each other. Why didn't Yelia care?
Image, performing in front of so many people, where does it put him?
Li Guolou could only take out his handkerchief to wipe Yelia's tears, and patted Yelia's back with his hand, asking her to speak carefully and not to embarrass him.
As friends, the two grandmothers could only persuade Jelia. Everything is easy to discuss and get together easily. Aren't French women very open-minded? Is there anything that needs to be cried? The past is past, and they don't want to become yesterday's calendar.
Three catches and one walk share the same path.
Jelia said angrily: "Mike, you are a cat crying and a mouse pretending to be merciful. It's not because of you. Robinson came at noon, and I fell out with him. He spoke harshly. I was so angry that I threw back the key to the bungalow.
He, now my two servants and I can only settle here. Do you think this kind of place is for people to live in?" After saying that, Yelia looked at Xie Xiuzhu with a pleading look. She knew that Li Guolou
She was staying at Xie Xiuzhu's house, so she could move into Wei Mansion early only if Xie Xiuzhu spoke.
Xie Xiuzhu sighed: "Mrs. Yelia, are you too impatient? We just met. Besides, my house doesn't have a flush toilet. You won't be used to it."
Yelia said: "Oh, this is a new problem, why didn't I think of it. But you are a kind person, Second Grandma, and you are willing to take in the eldest grandma. You will also accept me as the mistress. I will serve tea to you two grandma when I get back."
Xie Xiuzhu asked: "Mrs. Yelia, can't you live without Mike?"
Jelia glanced at her and said, "Two grandma, we are all the same. Aren't you also impatient to wait? It is inevitable for an ugly daughter-in-law to meet her parents-in-law. I am French and I want to try the life of the Qing people."
The meaning is obvious, that is, there is an essential difference between her and the two grandmothers. She has the right to choose, and she can come and go when she wants. The mistress is just in name. It won't be long before she can no longer be sexually interested in Li Guolou, suitcase
As soon as he picked it up, stepped on the carriage, he went back to France to find a new love.
Chen Xiangfang said: "Mrs. Yelia, it is very troublesome to pack your luggage. We should wait until Xiaolou comes back from Tianjin to discuss it."
Jelia smiled and said: "Thank you, grandma, for caring about me. It's no trouble for me at all. The luggage is on the carriage and hasn't been unloaded yet. Second grandma, I'm only staying for one night. It's hard to say whether I will come back or not."
Xie Xiuzhu took a sip of red wine from the glass and squinted: "Mrs. Yelia, everyone knows very well that your enterprising spirit is so strong, will you not come back? I haven't tasted enough of your new things.
I can see how big your appetite is."
Jelia chuckled, raised his glass and said, "Then let's have a drink for Mike's good health. Shred it!"
Li Guolou watched the three ladies treat him as a bargaining chip in the negotiations, and felt funny and proud. A tyrant must have talent. He also squandered his capital and worked as a boy for twenty years. Now he is like Changshan Zhao Zilong, with a white dragon horse on his crotch, waving
A bright silver spear can kill anyone in the midst of thousands of troops, seven in and seven out.
