After Li Guolou took the photos and signed his name, he left the lobby. Men and women were not allowed to be intimate with each other, so he could not get too close to these women. Some of the support group were widows, which made Li Guolou cautious. A banquet was set up in Cuiyun Pavilion.
Welcome newcomer Chu Xiangyu to join.
The sound of ditty was playing outside, and lovers were toasting everywhere. Li Guolou was sitting alone in the box, just waiting for the lovers to come back and have a banquet.
Zhen Yuhuan opened the door and walked in, changing back into women's clothes in front of Li Guolou.
Li Guolou shook his head and said, "I've never seen anyone like you. We agreed to come over for tea on Friday. Forget it if we come today, why are we singing opera down there? I will be interrogated by Mr. Bao tomorrow."
"It's fun! After I leave my job, I can play every day. Mike, your place is nice, elegant and popular. In the future, if you want to form a club, what do you want to do? Let these official wives ignore it and ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Zhen Yuhuan changed her coat and took off her hat, looking like a woman.
"Anita, when I left at noon, weren't you still at Sansheng'an? Why did you come back so soon and not interrogate the prisoners?" Li Guolou felt strange. He arrested ten White Lotus cultists and the interrogation of the case was about to begin.
After all, Zhen Yuhuan is the president of the Qingping Association and should not just give up and leave.
Zhen Yuhuan buttoned her clothes, sat down and said: "Mike, you are not interested in old nuns, will I be interested? The White Lotus Sect does not have enough scabies. We are only interested in people who hook up with foreigners. Do you understand?
?”
Li Guolou's heart sank and he glanced at him and said, "Anita, do you want to hide next to me to see if I am a British spy or a French spy?"
"Yes! I want to hide. None of your foreign girls are genuine. In my opinion, they are all spies." Zhen Yuhuan picked up the tea cup, filled Li Guolou with tea, and then poured it for herself, singing like a charm.
Dry mouth and tongue, drink it all in one gulp.
Li Guolou hurriedly looked at the door and said hurriedly: "Anita, I am meat on the board here. People who have no say. If you say that to them, they will eat me."
"Oh! Mike, I have made an agreement with you now. From now on, I will be the seventh child, but I will be in charge of the family affairs. I am a hundred times better than the eldest grandma in managing people." Zhen Yuhuan was forceful and suppressed others, speaking loudly to deliberately let people outside
hear.
"Oh;;;;;;" Li Guolou had expected this move a long time ago, and the family was in turmoil over this matter. It was agreed that as long as Zhen Yuhuan did not take the position of the head wife or the equal wife, other benefits would always be given to her.
.
"Well;;;;;;" Zhen Yuhuan did not expect that the negotiation would go so smoothly without any resistance. She glanced at Li Guolou with her bright eyes, put her mouth close to it, rewarded him with a mouthful, and said in a gentle tone: "I guess you are sensible, I will do it the day after tomorrow."
Move me."
"Ah;;;;;" Li Guolou couldn't sit still. He stood up and looked at Zhen Yuhuan. He still refused to let him live. He promised to have a meal, but it turned into a big show together. Now it's about to change again.
"Mike, why are you in such a hurry? Sit down and drink tea. Now the seats for eight people are full. We can drink, chat and sing in peace. In the future, let you come forward. Why are you holding the same stinky foot? We can directly deal with Prince Gong. I will do it for you.
You arrange it." Zhen Yuhuan said while pouring water, educating Li Guolou on how to treat people as unkind, and that's why he did such a bad job.
Li Guolou touched his nose. After eating soft food like this, he put his arms around Zhen Yuhuan's waist and said with tears in his eyes: "Yuhuan, you are willing to pay so much for me. I really didn't expect that I will work hard in the future. I will
I want to build a big house in the British Concession so that you can live like a queen."
"Hmph! Mike, do you want us to be neighbors with Li Lianying in the future?" Zhen Yuhuan was extremely dissatisfied. A piece of land purchased by Li Guolou in the British Concession was given to the imperial eunuch Li Lianying. Such a small move behind the scenes has long been reported.
She investigated and found out.
Li Guolou stared at Zhen Yuhuan with some fear, and stammered: "You also know this." The land he gave to Li Lianying was transferred in the name of Li Lianying's brother. He did not expect that what he did in the British Concession would also be celebrated.
People from the Ping Society investigated it.
"Huh, Mike, don't hide anything from me. Write me a detailed list of your family's assets on Friday. Don't play tricks. I will check it." Zhen Yuhuan started to get mad again, staring at Li Guolou, and
Like staring at a prisoner.
"Hey, now I know why Prince Gong doesn't want you." Li Guolou saw through that Zhen Yuhuan was a person who couldn't afford to suffer. "Mike, you are so stupid!" Zhen Yuhuan pinched Li Guolou's waist and frowned fiercely.
He angrily said: "What do I do? The Qingping Society is extremely rich and has thrived in my hands. I will retire next year and I won't take the opportunity to make a big profit. How much public money I have eaten will not end up in your house."
.I am an expert in Western architecture. The design and construction of houses in the British Concession will be under my unified command, and you will be the hands-off shopkeeper."
The two of them actually had the same thoughts. They were full of fear about the direction of the Qing Empire. They were afraid that one day the government would settle accounts after the fall. If they stayed in the capital, they would just keep a low profile and move their possessions and wealth to the British Concession. This was the social atmosphere at this time, no matter how big it was.
Officials were also afraid of confiscating their homes and annihilating their clans. Since the Qing Dynasty had concessions and a haven for hiding assets, officials had the confidence to dare to make money desperately.
National pride hates concessions very much, but for the sake of their own interests, officials chose concessions for their property and retirement homes. The reality is so sad. The princes, ministers and even princes did this. These people in power left a way out for themselves.
.
(After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, no officials confiscated their homes and exterminated their clans. This was an unimaginable thing in the past dynasties, which meant that there were no reactionaries! It was not because of how merciful the National Government was, but because of the existence of concessions. The princes and nobles who declined in the Qing Dynasty were in the Kuomintang period.
He still lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. Even several presidents of the Nationalist Government retired in the Tianjin Concession after they stepped down, and even continued to live in the Tianjin Concession until the Japanese invaded.) Li Guolou chuckled and said: "Anita, do you really want me to leave you alone?"
?”
"Little rascal, I'll reward you with some sweets." Zhen Yuhuan rewarded Li Guolou as a habit, stirring the tip of her tongue as the two kissed selflessly.
The door was pushed open, and Li Guolou and Zhen Yuhuan continued to be affectionate and affectionate without any scruples, hugging each other and teaching Xie Liya how to be bad.
"They're coming up soon!" Xie Liya closed the door and went up to cause trouble. She hugged Li Guolou and kissed her cheek.
Li Guolou hugged each other, making the two lovers obsessed with him. He changed his attitude at any time, pushed the two lovers away, and said sternly: "Don't do it, today is Chu Xiangyu's place, you are not allowed to cause trouble, Anita, eat
Go back early after dinner."
"Oh;;;;;;" Zhen Yuhuan was still filled with emotion. She looked at the little man beside her. It's so good to be young! She has also become younger. The age on the official website is less than thirty years old, and she can still spend her youthful years.
Twenty years later, the greedy Zhen Yuhuan has many tricks. She will get drunk and go crazy later and stick to Li Guolou.
The banquet had not yet started, and Zhen Yuhuan started to pour and drink by herself, lying next to Li Guolou and sobbing. A veteran among the flowers, Li Guolou's heart was like a mirror, he knew all the tricks used by lovers, and he enjoyed it and enjoyed the boundless love.
Yingying Yanyan walked in laughing and joking. When Chen Xiangfang saw the battle, she knew what Zhen Yuhuan was up to. She curled her lips and refused to argue with Zhen Yuhuan. She sat next to Chu Xiangyu and temporarily gave up her position as the principal wife to Zhen Yuhuan.
.
Chu Xiangyu looked at Li Guolou pitifully. She couldn't even sit next to Li Guolou. This was something she asked for.
This family is divided into levels based on power and status. Chen Xiangfang is the head wife and other grandmothers have to give her face and bribe her with money.
Xie Xiuzhu and Yeliya are rich, and even Li Guolou has to look at the eyes of these two grandmothers. Xie Liya pretends to be cute and innocent, and has a place in the role. The model of hard work is Zhen Youzi. Chu Xiangyu has no money and no power. In this
The family is only at the mercy of others.
In the era of three wives and four concubines, a woman's status in a family was reflected by the power of her husband's family, and beauty was secondary. Those Jis who were good at singing and dancing had no status in the family. The same was true for the harem of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty.
, the most beautiful women in the country could not even get a seat as a concubine. The Ministry of Internal Affairs selected women not based on beauty, but based on the woman’s family status. In the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, it was the best. Since the founding of the People’s Republic of China,
It has been continued since the beginning. The people imitated the royal family and continued the tradition in the same way.
Li Guolou turned a deaf ear to the intrigues between his lovers and acted selflessly, spending time every day to make his lovers happy. He was young and energetic, and could handle his lover's tearful confessions calmly.
Seeing Chu Xiangyu's sad expression, Li Guolou stood up, walked to Chu Xiangyu, put his arm around her waist, and said, "Xiangyu is a good girl. She is willing to follow me and endure hardships all her life. I will do my best."
Treat her, don't bully her. From now on, Xiangyu will be the sixth grandma. You must work together to make our family bigger and stronger. I swear not to look for women anymore. You have seen it yourself. I have never taken the initiative to hook up with a woman.
"
"You can eat randomly at Xiaolou, but you can't talk nonsense." Chen Xiangfang was the first to jump out and protest, with sharp eyes as if she wanted to eat Li Guolou.
With the new lover, the other lovers fought back and exposed Li Guolou's background. Li Guolou smiled and ate by himself. Enjoying family happiness, he didn't have to pick up the dishes. Someone would pick up the dishes he liked on the plate.
he.
Family gatherings became a habit like this, and his lovers were also used to sharing Li Guolou, and they seemed to get along well with each other. This was their mutual choice, and no one forced them.
This family banquet should be for Chu Xiangyu to succeed, but Zhen Yuhuan stole the limelight. Zhen Yuhuan, who is well-spoken, seizes the class and power through a family banquet. She is good at controlling the scene and has great fame. She is accurate in judging people. What kind of family is this?
I already know the person I want to win over.
"Jelia, I made an agreement with Mike. I will be in charge of the house in the British Concession. Don't pay attention to the land next to him. Let that little plum come out with the money himself. That little plum is good at collecting money but bad at doing things.
Don't believe that little guy's boast. I'm going to the British Concession at the beginning of next month, let's go together." Zhen Yuhuan specializes in one person, and he got close to Yelia within a few rounds.
Li Guolou did not refute Zhen Yuhuan and gave Li Lianying a piece of land. He had already spent a lot of money on it. Everyone knew in the future that they would continue to pay if there was a return. The accumulation of time is the criterion for judging people. The road is the path people take. Yes, he helped his brother "Xiao De Zhang" rise to power and let Xiao De Zhang follow Li Lianying. Now he has two brothers in the palace.
"Mike!" Zhen Yuhuan, who was drunk, hugged Li Guolou and became excited, as if he didn't recognize anyone else.
"Good little baby, if you don't want to go home, just come back with me." Li Guolou supported Zhen Yuhuan, his ambition was already aroused, and he was ready to go all the way to Huanglong. In his family, egalitarianism meant that he had a lover on both sides of his pillow.
"Mike, you are evil!" Zhen Yuhuan sat on Li Guolou's lap in a grand manner. This was an unsolvable trick. She once asked the British Minister Justin Lear to betray intelligence.
The banquet was almost over. Chen Xiangfang stood up with a wine glass and Xie Xiufang stood up with a bottle of red wine. A group of women's soldiers went to toast the guests. Li Guolou watched them leave with a smile. His mind was flexible and he used his lovers to spread the word for him. Way to make money.
Li Guolou secretly pondered: Zhen Yuhuan relied on "Xi Shi" to be with Prince Gong Yixin, and he became successful without having to give a singer to his superiors. This shameless crime will never happen to him in the future. Li Guolou kissed Zhen Yuhuan's hair and let him She will sleep for a while, and later he will repay his kindness and practice egalitarianism.
