Chapter 124: Yesenia Steals a Pocket Watch

It is possible that the French women thought Li Guolou was a big stallion and invited him to come back to the dance next Friday. Li Guolou looked at Yelia's smiling expression and said, "Mrs. Yesenia, I will accompany Yelia next week."

Mrs. Ya is going to Tianjin. Let’s make an appointment next time when I come back.”

The aristocratic woman was very nurturing. Regardless of whether she understood the meaning of Li Guolou's refusal or not, she still extended her hand for Li Guolou to kiss her. Mrs. Yeseniya left in a daze and sat at another table chatting and laughing with several noble ladies.

The eyes of all the ladies would turn to Li Guolou, and each one of them had perfected the art of flirting.

Yelia did not look back at her friends, but warned Li Guolou, saying: "Mike, don't take advantage of Mrs. Yesenia. Her husband is the captain of the Shanghai French Concession Musketeers. He is a sharpshooter."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "I'm not that stupid. The people at Mrs. Yeseniya's table are playing in a circle. I don't want to be squeezed out by them. My dear, honestly have you ever played with them?"

Jelia revealed something, saying: "She introduced me to boyfriends in the past, but I didn't like her, but she is good at business, and I have some business dealings with her."

Yelia stopped talking and said no more. How many people will have a clean background if they continue?

The waiter brought over a plate of roasted duck with asparagus. Li Guolou rolled his eyes at the dish. He took a fork at the little bit of duck and it was gone after a few strokes.

Li Guolou sighed: "My dear, no wonder you maintain such a perfect figure, you eat so little."

Jelia was also eating her plate of roast duck with asparagus, raised her wine glass and clinked it with Li Guolou, and said: "We French people pay attention to exquisiteness. The dishes are beautifully presented and the taste is pure. As for the quantity, that's it. You'll see it later."

If you’re not full, just order some baguettes, and you can bring them to your room to replenish your energy at night.”

Li Guolou sighed: "I don't expect delicious foie gras anymore. There won't be much of it. Everything is delicious when you're hungry." After speaking, Li Guolou whistled to ask the waiter to come over.

Add the staple "baguette".

Jelia's face turned livid for a moment and he shouted angrily: "Mike, this is a French high-end restaurant. Why are you acting like a British gangster and having such no taste? It embarrasses me."

Li Guolou quickly apologized and said: "I'm sorry Yelia, I lived in the UK and learned a lot of vulgar habits. I often do inappropriate actions. I don't know how to use them, and I can't change them."

Yelia rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, let's forget about you." He raised his head and said, "The waiter's plate of roast duck with asparagus was not cooked well by the chef. Bring it back to me and make it again. Mike, don't eat it either and return it to the waiter.

"

Li Guolou was very happy. He had already eaten half of the roast duck with asparagus. He could have another plate of roast duck with asparagus, which was also a good choice. To be honest, he didn't think French food was delicious at all, but he wouldn't say this.

, Slow work produces fine work. People in the Qing Empire were not used to this slow pace. This was a slower way of life than the procrastinating pace of the Qing Empire. If a French chef cooked for Qing officials, he would have been fired long ago.

Revolution, no wonder the French are nicknamed European lazy people.

The lobby manager held a bottle of red wine wrapped in a napkin, tiptoed over, bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss Yelia, we didn't control the quality properly. This bottle of red wine was given to you by our restaurant.

Do you want to open it?"

The label of the red wine faced Jelia, so that the picky Jelia could clearly see the brand and year of the red wine. The picky Jelia scanned it clearly, nodded and said: "Well, open it, Mr. Jack, I will come again, next time I will

Please take care of the reception."

The restaurant manager burst into tears of gratitude and bowed again to apologize, just like the officials of the Qing Dynasty who waved their horseshoe sleeves.

It turns out that France also has slaves, with different methods. Li Guolou opened his eyes and said sincerely: "Jelia, if you are a businessman, you will definitely succeed. Only picky people will strive for excellence. Well - that's who the famous person is.

What you said, I can’t remember at the moment.”

Yelia smiled like fireworks, covered her mouth and said, "Mike, stop pretending, that's what you said."

Li Guolou's pretended expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't think clearly: "Really? I have become a celebrity!"

Jelia scolded: "Mike, how did you learn so many tricks? Romantic French people don't do this either."

Li Guolou chuckled, a little embarrassed. This was a trick he learned in the officialdom. No matter how shameless he was, he would still speak smoothly. When complimenting a superior, one should also be divided into different levels. Each subordinate should understand his own status, and he would not stop speaking.

Change roles, adjust your position, talk to others and talk to ghosts. Lean

He is eager to learn and improve. He has applied what he has learned and killed a lot of officers instantly, so he got into the circle of officers having fun. If he could only scheming with criminals, he is still fighting on the front line of heroism, leaving early in the morning and staying late every day.

Come home, where can I have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the world and drink delicious Bordeaux red wine?

The sound of the violin rang in his ears, and Robinson sent someone to give Yelia a large bouquet of flowers. Li Guolou felt uncomfortable in his chest. They were immersed in the most romantic love, and Robinson, Yelia's old lover, came unexpectedly.

On the other hand, he offered beautiful music and flowers to make Yelia change his mind.

Yelia was very angry. Robinson did not choose the right occasion to apologize. So many people were looking at her. Do you think she should rush out of the restaurant and leave Li Guolou and join Robinson now? Yelia didn't even look at it.

The card in the bouquet was crumpled into a ball and thrown directly into the red wine glass.

Jelia looked coldly and said: "Mike gave them money and let them go." Then he said: "Waiter, change the cups."

The embarrassing scene ended in an instant. Jelia raised his glass and said softly: "Mike, don't affect our mood. Robinson is deliberately making us look bad. I won't leave. Let's just be British scoundrels. Whatever

What others say about us."

Li Guolou smiled and said: "Now I finally understand why you Westerners like to steal other people's things. It gives you such a sense of accomplishment. My dear Yelia, you are a priceless treasure and I will always love you. Shred!"

"Cut it into pieces!" Yelia smiled with an eyebrow and thought to herself: Dumping a man is also a very fulfilling thing. I wonder if Li Guolou will cling to her shamelessly in the future, giving her a chance to increase her worth. Such an embarrassing scene,

She deserves to have a few drinks for such an outstanding performance. Her movements are so graceful, I don’t know how many men admire her

She. The ladies next to her will definitely imitate her action of throwing cards into wine glasses. This is a classic action. How did she come up with it? Jelia admires herself. The ball princess has become a child's joke for the Fang family. She

She has been promoted to a higher level. In the future, more rich people will be eyeing her butt. Whoever gets her will be the king.

Music sounded in the restaurant, and pairs of diners danced gracefully and walked between the tables. Jelia held Li Guolou's hand and said, "Next time Mike wants to dance like this with me, I'll do it."

Teach you."

Li Guolou sighed: "If Jelia eats French food with you, you want to learn to dance. I feel uncomfortable waiting for the food, and I feel tired even sitting there."

Jelia sighed: "Mike, you don't have the romance of the French at all. This is not even the best French restaurant. A top French restaurant can last for three or four hours. Candles are lit for you and music plays for you.

, there is only you in my eyes, how romantic that is."

Li Guolou stretched out a slap and said: "I will only give you this opportunity five times. I can't bear any more."

Jelia scolded: "Mike, you are a fool. That is a trick used to surprise your girlfriend. How can it be measured by the number of times? It takes three or four hours to eat every time. Aren't I crazy?"

"Oh - that's for proposing, right? I understand, to put it bluntly, it's to reserve the place! I'll reserve the place for you on your birthdays from now on, um - next time you do it..."

Jelia said anxiously: "Mike, I am two years older than you. You have to remember this and say this to your two girlfriends. Do you understand?"

"Ah! Aren't you French the most honest people?" Li Guolou was a little surprised.

"Mike, you have been deceived again. It was deliberately used by the British devils to deceive us French people. They wanted us to be honest people and put everything on the table. Our greatest monarch, Napoleon I, was deceived by the British

Deceived. A Day in Waterloo

It only takes one day to change our nation. The British devils can deceive people, and we French people can also deceive people." What a solid reason Jelia said, putting two opposing nations on the table, what's more!

Li Guolou saw the deep groove of breast enlargement on the table.

Li Guolou swallowed his saliva, hurriedly took a sip of red wine, and said: "Dear Yelia, I will celebrate your twenty-third birthday next year and give you a big surprise."

Yelia nodded slightly and complied with Li Guolou's request. Watching the change in Li Guolou's expression, he said: "Mike, why do you never have principles and follow other people's wishes in everything? I have never seen you object.

What happened?"

Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "I am a soft-hearted person who thinks about others in everything, so I agreed to marry two widows as wives. Other people in the Qing Dynasty did this kind of thing by stealing incense and jade, so how could they marry a wealthy man like Kefu?"

A widow becomes a wife. She is really willing to take responsibility.

Ren, I am the only one who belongs to the Qing Empire. In order to break up with the little girl, I kicked away all the little maids at home. I am still a very principled person. In this situation yesterday, you were too tempting.

Well, I just got excited."

Yeli looked at Li Guolou and said, "Mike, why did you lie without blushing? Is this just once? Drink the snail soup quickly. This is very tonic and can make you do it again." After speaking, Yeli said

Ya no longer had the French demeanor, so he moved the chair next to Li Guolou, put a hand on Li Guolou's thigh and started stroking it. He had to use the mending function after mending it, and he would use it later.

Li Guolou kept his head down and drank the soup. Mrs. Yesenia walked by, stopped and put a folded card in front of Li Guolou, warning: "Mike, this is my home address, waiting for you."

Come and play when you come back from Tianjin. My sisters all want to dance with you. We will all be friends from now on, eating and drinking together. Goodbye Yelia, you can come with me when you have time."

Li Guolou hurriedly hid the card in his trouser pocket and said, "Okay! I will definitely visit Mrs. Yeseniya in the future." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand to pinch the raised right hand of Mrs. Yeseniya and kissed her.

When Mrs. Yeseniya was out of sight, Li Guolou asked: "Yeliya, is Mrs. Yeseniya a gypsy?"

Jelia said: "I don't know where her bloodline comes from. How can you say that Mrs. Yesenia is a gypsy?"

Li Guolou whispered: "Only Gypsy women have no sense of shame. Gypsies are people who will not give up until they achieve their goals. I saw Mrs. Yesenia stealing other people's things and stealing a gentleman's pocket watch."

Jelia opened her mouth in surprise and turned to look at a gentleman at the next table. Just now she heard Mrs. Yesenia's apology to others, and she turned around and took a few glances. It turned out that Mrs. Yesenia was here for

Steal someone's pocket watch.

Jelia scolded in a low voice: "Mike, why didn't you say it? Why don't you have a sense of justice?"

Li Guolou excused himself: "Isn't she your friend? We Qing people are very particular about meeting each other in the future, so I can only pretend not to see it. Mrs. Yeseniya knew that I saw her, so she came over to say hello to me.

Everyone knows this kind of Jianghu love."

Jelia said suspiciously: "Mike, are you wrong? Mrs. Yesenia's family is very rich and has a lot of ginseng. How could she steal a pocket watch worth dozens of taels of silver?"

Li Guolou stood up and felt something was wrong, so he sat down again and said, "Yeliya, you said Mrs. Yeseniya's house is full of ginseng. How many are there?"

"Mrs. Yesenia makes precious medicinal materials. She keeps several sacks of high-end ginseng at home. I buy all the ginseng tea I drink from her. The ginseng she sells to us is at a friendly price, which is cheaper than what is sold in medicine shops outside.

many."

Li Guolou asked: "Could the ginseng Mrs. Yesenia sold you be fake?"

Jelia said proudly: "Mike, what kind of mouth do I have? I'm the most cunning. You can tell whether it's real or fake after you taste it. I buy Korean ginseng for ten taels a piece, and I buy ten ginseng from Yesenia at one time.

, at least twice as much outside."

"Oh!" Li Guolou kept silent and stopped asking questions. He already knew that Mrs. Yeseniya's family were big thieves. The theft of Tongyitang medicinal materials in the capital in March was done by Mrs. Yeseniya's family.

A big thief came to the Qing Empire to take advantage. No wonder Liu Banxian, the leader of the Beggar Gang, screamed that he was wronged. The Beggar Gang would not dare to do such a big case.
