Li Guolou chuckled and said: "Children's words are not forbidden, children's words are not forbidden, don't scare the children."
Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "Xiaolou, you really can't deceive Lingling. Our mother and daughter are alone and it's not easy to depend on each other. How can you just grant her three wishes? This is a petition to the Buddha, no joke.
." After saying it as if it was true, Chen Xiangfang shed tears, wiped her eyes, and lived a miserable life.
When Li Guolou looked at Zheng Lingling, he ran to Chen Xiangfang and started crying too. He was still saying that she didn't want three wishes anymore. Where did this put him? Could it be that he was the big bad wolf who deceived Little Red Riding Hood? He was rich anyway.
, it is not difficult to let a child attend the Mary Church School. I pinched my nose and admitted it.
Li Guolou stood up and said seriously: "Xiaofang, Lingling, don't cry. There are spies in our yard. They will definitely bully you from now on. I didn't lie to Lingling. Don't worry. Lingling will study in the future."
Leave everything to me."
Li Guolou took out a handkerchief and handed it to Chen Xiangfang, saying in a low voice: "Wipe it quickly, what does it look like? I didn't bully you."
Chen Xiangfang casually took the handkerchief, touched Li Guolou's hand, and scolded: "Xiaolou is the most obscene. He teased me the first time we met and said he didn't bully me."
Li Guolou was getting drunk, and it was a great opportunity. His feelings were heating up in the red wine, and he couldn't control himself.
A shout from the yard interrupted the beautiful atmosphere in the house, and a candlelight and red wine dinner ended in an anticlimactic manner.
Before the man stepped into the courtyard, he had already raised his voice and said: "Third brother, I'm here! Open the door for me quickly."
The door opened with a clang, and Chen Xiangfang glared at that Bazi fiercely. He was such a ignorant person. It was such a beautiful time, but someone came to disturb their world of three people.
Nabasi was in a trance, maybe he went to the wrong place and came to Baozhilin. He raised his head and looked around, yes! It was the home of Li Guolou in Hongchang Hutong.
Knowing it all, he chuckled and said: "Chen;;;;;;Chen Xiangfang, I'd better call you by your name. Otherwise, you won't be able to speak. What are you two doing in the house? Hehehehe;;;;;;"
Li Guolou interjected: "Don't talk nonsense then, Lingling is eating in the back room. Let's talk in the room."
With a "bang" sound, the door closed again. Wang quickly spoke, and Wang Zaizi and his son sneaked to the door of the south room, pressed against the door panel, and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang.
Na Bazi sat on Li Guolou's seat and was not afraid of getting dirty. He picked up Li Guolou's chopsticks and started eating. He also drank a glass of wine and said while eating: "Third brother, I'm sorry, I didn't know you had developed to this level."
Otherwise, I would not agree to let you go there at night, and now I have to wrong you two. Chen Xiangfang's farewell is better than a wedding, so you won't make it difficult for me."
Chen Xiangfang gave Na Bazi a big wink to praise him for his ability to speak.
Li Guolou said anxiously: "Nah, don't talk nonsense, Xiaofang. You just want me to try Baozhifang's private dishes. We are aboveboard."
Na Bazi replied: "You are a fake foreign devil. You can even call me "Xiao Fang" smoothly. What are you pretending to be? Give me a bowl of rice and make me full. Let's leave immediately."
Chen Xiangfang served rice to Na Bazi, while Li Guolou sat beside him and asked, "Na Bazi, you have disappeared without a trace these past few days and come here very sneakily. What are you doing here?"
Na Bazi sighed: "Fake foreign devil, because of what you did, I lost my mind. I have been struggling with this for the past two days. It's easy for me."
Li Guolou was overjoyed and saw that the boy was in a hurry to announce the good news. He hurriedly filled up the wine and said with a smile: "Eldest brother is mighty, third brother is very grateful."
The boy huffed and ate fiercely, nodded and said: "It's delicious! Xiaofang, you will also make it for me in the future."
Chen Xiangfang spat lightly and said: "Who is your Xiaofang? Call me Sister-in-law Chen."
Na Bazi stirred his mouth and said: "Stop, that will make the relationship more confusing. If you keep calling me like this, I will call you Grandma Chen."
The three of them bickered with each other, and no one wanted to be the younger one. The relationship between the three of them became more and more chaotic. In the end, Li Guolou wanted to call the guy "uncle"!
After finishing the meal, the man wiped his mouth and said: "Li Guolou stopped teasing you and got down to business. Your errand has been settled, which really troubles me. You don't know, the king of hell in this world is easy to talk to now."
, the imp is difficult to deal with. I have actually been dealing with the imp for the past few days, and this is only half of your matter."
Li Guolou said: "There are no outsiders here, so don't show off."
Chen Xiangfang was very excited after hearing this, and gave Li Guolou a loving gaze with her wonderful eyes. It turned out that she had already taken root in Li Guolou's heart and became one of his own.
Na Bazi said: "Third brother, the day after you mentioned your matter, I went to see Mr. Bao from the Ministry of Punishment and handed over one hundred taels of silver. You said that the small officials could not be dealt with. Bao
Your Excellency agreed on the spot, and there was no problem at all. But the people below just collected money and did nothing, which made me angry at both ends, like a rat in a bellows. In the end, this matter fell to your immediate boss, Chongwenmen.
Deputy envoy Yao Cuo has the palm of his hand. But what can I say about him? He is too selfish. No matter who wants to infiltrate his territory, he must be careful. I have all the good things to say and will blow you into a flower. Tell Yao Cuo,
You are a pillar of talent who came back from studying abroad. You just painted gold in the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice and will not take his seat in the future. You are both soft and hard, so he let you go and meet him to see what you are like.
So, are you qualified to be a police officer?"
Li Guolou said: "Brother, you don't need to see him at night. Which onion are you selling?"
Na Bazi sighed and said: "Third brother, you don't know that Yao Cuo is stingy and loves to gamble. He spends his nights playing at the Lucky Mahjong Parlor. These days, he has lost everything. There is a guy from Wuxi.
The businessman came here for ten days. He was so lucky that he defeated Yao Cuo in Lake **. All his income for the year was paid for tuition, and he didn't even hide the filial piety twenty taels I gave him overnight. Yao Cuo didn't believe it.
People have such good luck. That Wuxi old man must be a crook. Several masters of catching crooks in the yamen have fought against that Wuxi old man, and they all came back defeated. He played cards with a clear sword and robbing, and it was hard to see.
I also went to meet the old man from Wuxi yesterday and lost ten taels of silver. I will not dare to play cards with him in the future. Only Yao Cuo was so stubborn that he held it in his heart and invited several groups of people.
Even the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were implicated. He had been scolded to death by his brothers and began to get sick and seek medical treatment indiscriminately. Last time, in order to save your face, I said that you were as clever as the British devils, and you wanted to come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment to show off your talents. So.
He asked you to go over in the evening and meet the Wuxi old man. If you have the ability to catch the Wuxi old man, he will let you order Mao tomorrow."
Li Guolou's blood boiled when he heard this. No matter what the consequences were, he stood up and blurted out: "Let's go and meet that old man from Wuxi."
Chen Xiangfang said anxiously: "Hold on! Xiaolou, show me your wallet."
Li Guolou turned around and asked suspiciously: "Why?"
Chen Xiangfang glared and said fiercely: "You are stupid! I have seen many passionate young people like you. When your forehead is hot, you rush forward. What if you lose? Such a big person always attacks your sister.
You need money. Let me see how many banknotes you have brought. Don’t lose and come back with only your underwear.”
Li Guolou was hypnotized in a trance. He looked at Chen Xiangfang's face and was reluctant to leave. He obediently handed over the wallet in the inner pocket of his coat to Chen Xiangfang.
Chen Xiangfang took out a stack of banknotes, glanced at them a few times, and put only one banknote into her wallet. She folded the other banknotes and put them neatly in her pocket.
Chen Xiangfang handed the wallet back to Li Guolou and said without doubt: "That's it. I'll keep the other banknotes for you."
Li Guolou took out the banknote and saw that it was a fifteen-tael banknote. It seemed that Chen Xiangfang was quite generous, allowing him to lose only this amount of money at most, and he stared at Chen Xiangfang gratefully.
Nabazi stretched his neck to see the number of banknotes clearly, and he was sure that the money should be enough. They were not going to a casino, but a mahjong parlor. A mid- to low-end mahjong parlor like this only had a draw for each game, and no money was allowed there.
The scammers are all regular customers. The owner of the mahjong parlor has a long history. With a few mahjong tables, he can support his family. Normally, when gamblers win or lose, they are lucky to win two or three taels of silver at a time.
Well, if he loses ten taels of silver at a time, he is considered lucky. Ordinary people's income is less than ten taels of silver a year. People like Li Guolou and Na Bazi are a group of people who have more than enough.
, they also play mahjong leisurely, and in order to hold their breath, they are willing to throw money into the gambling game. Can they catch the crook? No one has a bottom line, they only have a sense of motivation and stupidity.
Chen Xiangfang said magnanimously: "Xiaolou, you go first. I will clean up the house for you and then leave. Don't worry about us two. I will call a carriage myself."
Na Bazi interjected: "Xiao Fang, I thought you were going to live here. Hehehehe;;;;;;;"
Chen Xiangfang said half-truthfully: "It's okay to live there, I'm the sister of the small building."
Li Guolou was frightened to death and said anxiously: "Xiaofang, you'd better leave. It's not good to gossip to others."
Zheng Lingling rubbed her eyes and said softly: "Mom, I'm sleepy."
Li Guolou bowed with a bitter look on his face and said, "Auntie, I'm going to give you three wishes, so you can stop acting. Okay?"
