"The master is back!" the little old guard, Laojiu, shouted. He was a prison guard in the past. After inheriting his position from his son, he was idle at home. Now he has become the gatekeeper of Li Guolou Mansion and regained his position.
Chen Xiangfang asked: "Old Jiu, has anyone come to the house?"
"Hey, two neighbors came here who called themselves master. They said that he shaved my master's head in the past. They want to open a branch in Donglai Jiangxiang. I informed the second grandma." Laojiu said with a gleeful smile and took the
Of course you will run fast when you get the benefits, but those who don’t get a dime will just pretend that they have never come.
"Oh;;;;;;I remembered that Fatty Wang wasted my time in the past and asked him to shave his head. I want to sleep." Li Guolou couldn't help but laugh. He used to have nothing to do all day long and had plenty of time to waste.
On the face.
Chen Xiangfang hooked Li Guolou's arm and had no intention of laughing. If she wanted to do big things and win a good reputation, she would have to be a "timely rain on the Songjiang River". Behind the appearance of beauty, there are countless troubles hidden. This kind of spending money and energy is not flattering.
There are endless things happening.
Walking on the corridor, Chen Xiangfang asked: "The small building, the house where we got married, is the front room big enough?"
Li Guolou smiled and said: "Don't worry, grandma, a dozen or so people can always stay. You said you would be the eldest sister. From now on, you will receive guests when they come to the house."
"Xiaolou, why are you laughing? I don't think it's funny at all. If you help this person or not, you will offend others. The charity hall hasn't opened yet, but these people want us to give alms first." Chen Xiangfang thought that what was left was money.
I only had a few words of thanksgiving after I earned it, which felt like a huge loss.
Li Guolou warned: "Xiaofang, you can't help yourself in the world. We are in the capital, so we can only follow the folk route. My surname is not Aixinjueluo. Do you understand?"
"I understand, high officials, we women will stand up for you. One day the Queen Mother will ransack your house and nothing will be found? You will just focus on being an upright official." Chen Xiangfang saw through Li Guolou's sinister intentions and decided to stay as a queen even if she wanted to be an official.
Lu, deep down, is a person who does not believe that the Qing Empire will last forever.
The arch of the inner chamber behind him closed with a bang. Here, Li Guolou was the emperor, with a group of beloved concubines hugging him.
As soon as the grandmothers in the living room saw Li Guolou coming back, they threw away their playing cards and chatted. There were countless conspiracies hidden in the seemingly peaceful living room. This was another battlefield for Li Guolou, and he had to fight with these people every day.
The women who want to suck his bone marrow are scheming and fighting each other, and laughter can be heard from the inner house. Li Guolou looks at the painted faces, but there is a feeling of sadness in his heart. The life of "a pen full of fat pigs" will not last forever.
Too long.
After breakfast in the morning, Li Guolou said: "I went to the militia headquarters to shoot targets this morning. Who wants to sign up?"
Zhen Yuhuan said suspiciously: "Mike, aren't you going to work?"
"I'm not going today. I'll do target shooting in the morning and exercise in the afternoon." Li Guolou said loudly.
"What's the purpose?" Zhen Yuhuan didn't wait for others to express their opinions, then broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"Hey hey hey! I'm just trying to practice my marksmanship. I want to go out of the city to suppress the bandits." Li Guolou knew that he couldn't hide it, so he revealed his purpose with a playful smile.
"Xiaolou! You are not allowed to fool around."
"Mike! The baby in my belly hasn't been born yet! Do you want him to be an orphan?"
"Brother Xiaolou, don't go out of the city to suppress bandits. It's too dangerous."
The scolding sounds followed like a shadow, and Yingying Yanyan scolded Li Guolou, wishing she could beat the disobedient Li Guolou.
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't worry, I'll be with Mr. Bao this time, so I won't put myself in any danger. I'm just practicing the gun just in case." Li Guolou swore, patting his chest and assuring his grandmothers.
It is very difficult to find clues on Li Guolou's face. With many doubts, Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, don't keep your words, I will scan and hear. Your life is valuable now."
, don’t make unnecessary sacrifices.”
"Hey! I know, what are you afraid of! People who charge into battle are all the same. When have I done stupid things?" Li Guolou's mind was full of passionate and impulsive images, with two revolvers in his hands.
, my hands are itching all the time.
Shooting is a fun thing. You can hit targets, shoot wine bottles, and even shoot a few chickens. Chen Xiangfang was the first to sign up, and several other grandmothers enthusiastically signed up. Zhen Yuhuan, who worked three days fishing and two days drying nets, expressed her admiration for Zhen Yuhuan.
They were not going to go to work, and the two pregnant women wanted to show off their talents. Wu Peipei was the only one left in the house to look after the house.
Li Guolou, as always, held Wu Peipei in his arms and coaxed the big woman, and said some disgusting words in Wu Peipei's ear, "Sister Peipei, I will give you benefits, be a good baby."
Wu Peipei said softly: "Mike, I can still have children, so you have to work hard! I'm optimistic about you." After saying that, Wu Peipei looked at Yelia's plump figure with her phoenix eyes. We are all in their early thirties, so there is still a chance.
If you fight once, how can you miss a great opportunity?
"Well, I understand. I'll satisfy you tonight." Li Guolou looked at the several grandmothers at home, who were vying for belly before they got married. The following grandmothers seemed to be getting married with their children.
"Huh!" Wu Peipei whimpered Li Guolou in a sweet voice, feeling itchy and unbearable. She was originally at home and couldn't go out. For this situation, she just acted coquettishly and let Li Guolou coax her. She wasn't really unhappy. After a while, Li Guolou let Li Guolou coax her.
The national building passed the customs clearance.
Li Guolou and his group of eight people took exactly two carriages and went straight to the Dongchang Hutong Militia Headquarters. Beside the carriage were four servants on horseback to guard them. Four young servants were dressed in brocade clothes, brightly dressed, and sat proudly.
Immediately show off your power and make a mighty battle, attracting the attention of passers-by.
The motorcades of nobles and officials all have eye-catching signs. The carriages in Li Guolou have no signs. This is the biggest difference. Without signs, there are no privileges. No one gives way along the way. The carriages cannot run fast. Behave yourself. After a while,
Stop, wait for a while, drive slowly on the street, and avoid the official's eight-carriage sedan.
Zhen Yuhuan opened the curtains and looked at the crowded street, and said with great dissatisfaction: "Mike, my official car is better. It has no obstruction. You must be a fifth-rank official in the future, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to go out."
Li Guolou pointed his fingers and said: "Anita, I am now a ninth-rank official. According to the normal promotion speed, one step in four years, it will take sixteen years. By then, I will be in my thirties and in the prime of life. I will be a fifth-rank official.
That’s right, I’ll have a chance to see the emperor early in the morning on the fifth day.”
"Chi chi chi!" Zhen Yuhuan sneered: "Mike, don't you have me? Don't worry, as long as you show your intelligence, I believe you can enter the Golden Palace in less than eight years."
"Mike, aren't the official hats of the Qing Empire bought with real money? I will sponsor you 300,000 taels of silver to buy a fifth-grade official hat. I think it will only take four years." Yeli.
Ya thought that she would be a big banker in the future. The lion opened his mouth and blurted out that it was three hundred thousand taels of silver.
"Hey, Yelia, you don't understand the rules of the officialdom of the Qing Empire. There are real and imaginary official hats. Those old ladies and squires also have seventh-grade official hats on their heads. That's not unusual. I'm talking about those with real power.
To become a fifth-rank official, money alone is not enough. I also need to have political achievements. My resume is blank. Who would let me be a serious official? Eight years have changed. My surname is not Aixinjueluo.
Without military merit and without a professional background, it will take eight years no matter how fast it is." Li Guolou yearned for the flower feather behind his official hat, which gave him the taste of life.
"Well, Mike, I remember what it was like when we stayed at Guanyi. The ice and snow were already so beautiful, but I wonder how beautiful it is now?" Jelia's thoughts flew to Guanyi on the outskirts of the city, with its luxurious courtyard, which made people forget to leave.
"Yeliya, don't you still have me? Next time I go on a business trip to Tianjin, I will take you with me." Zhen Yuhuan looked proud. She was a sixth-grade official, and the official inn she stayed in was high-end.
"Okay! I'll go with you and ignore Mike." Yelia beamed with joy. As long as the family is united, in the future we can live in high-end official hotels in the capital and Tianjin.
"Anita, don't forget me. I want to go to the British Concession to give birth to a child and let the child become a subject of the British Empire." Mayuko has lofty ideals. She wants her child to be born in the British Concession in Tianjin and has a birth certificate from the British Concession.
, the children in the future will be superior people.
Li Guolou touched his nose and said nothing. Although he kept saying he was patriotic, the future was unknown, and he was full of fear about the direction of the Qing Empire. For the future of his children, there were only advantages and no disadvantages to letting his children be born in the British Concession. His children would
He was born and raised in the British Concession. Is there anyone in the world who is nobler than the British? At least in his eyes, the British are gentlemen, even if they are just superficial.
Li Guolou glanced at him and said, "Anita, since I've known you, I've never seen you busy at work. What do you usually do?"
"Huh, you have the nerve to say it to me. Aren't you the same? People with outstanding abilities don't have to work nine to five. How many things can I do?" Zhen Yuhuan was jealous of Yelia sitting next to Li Guolou and hated herself for being humble.
, why should she help Li Guolou selflessly? She thought about leaving this home, but thinking of the benefits and bright prospects of Li Guolou, she couldn't bear to leave. She habitually used men, and finally tasted the consequences, and was killed by a
The man took advantage of her and willingly ran errands, not even going to work normally. He just wanted to compete for favor and credit in front of Li Guolou.
Li Guolou and Yelia looked at each other and smiled. Yelia said loudly: "Anita, don't be unhappy, you are indispensable for the benefits. We will unite around Mike and build a huge empire.
You deserve the most credit."
Zhen Yuhuan was feeling light all over. She turned to look at the two people behind her with a respectful look and said: "Hi! Don't worry, two masters, I will not be proud and complacent. I will definitely regard Mike's high position as his lifelong ideal. I believe Mike can change
The face of the Qing Empire, only those who are willing to change can bring hope to the Qing Empire."
"Yo Xi! I also believe that people like Mike can save the Qing Empire. In our Empire of Japan, the Emperor has taken the lead in cutting off his braids. Why would your Qing Emperor refuse to cut off his braids? Only an emperor who is willing to change can gain the support of the people.
"Zhen Youzi flattered Li Guolou and kept up with the rhythm of flattery, and promoted Li Guolou to the level of an emperor.
In the Li Mansion, Li Guolou is the emperor, and the grandmothers are his beloved concubines. The grandmothers have long regarded Li Guolou as the supreme emperor in their hearts. For Li Guolou's career, they move forward bravely, and they will face the dark and despicable things.
He risked his life regardless of the danger, even if his body was broken into pieces.
"Boom, boom, boom!" The shooting range was filled with gunpowder smoke. Li Guolou fired his bow from left to right and thrust his guns into the holsters at his waist, causing the seven grandmothers nearby to scream repeatedly.
"Hahahaha!" Li Guolou looked at the target thirty meters away. At this distance, he could still be a sharpshooter. The killing male defeated all temptations, and Li Guolou's thoughts drifted to the distant battlefield.
