What the maids saw was a kind and warm scene. The family living together in Li Guolou was happy and enjoying family life. Zheng Lingling felt that the two young mothers loved her and she was the most favored person in the family. A daughter cannot be a good addition to a big family.
Danger. Daughters are the water thrown away by those who get married. No matter how favored they are by their parents, the daughter will always have a foreign surname.
There is no inheritance right. So no matter whether the second mistress Xie Xiuzhu has children in the future, her love for Zheng Lingling is true. The inequality between men and women in feudal society can be seen from the distribution of property benefits. Now Li Guolou is young and strong and has a harmonious family. But as long as three
With the existence of the system of wives and concubines, a large family is bound to have intrigues, intrigues, brothers becoming enemies, and scandals.
Wan Niang left the living room with Zheng Lingling, and the atmosphere in the room changed. She was fussing and fussing, and she did not forget to negotiate. The distribution of interests was fiercely fought here. Li Guolou became the meat on the scale, allowing the three grandmothers to divide it up.
Finally, Chen Xiangfang said softly: "Zhu Bajie, let's go! Enter the Pansi Cave with the Spider Spirit to see how capable you are?"
Li Guolou was shocked and said: "Ah! There are too many people, how can we do this?"
Xie Xiuzhu sighed and said: "Xiaolou, today may be the last time our two grandmothers see Yelia. We always want her to experience the exotic customs. Don't you still want to see my work under the box? I will give you a night
Sleepless."
Li Guolou followed the three grandmothers up the stairs on tiptoe. Looking at the three graceful figures in front of him, Li Guolou thought to himself: It is worth dying three years early, so just work hard for one night...
Li Guolou and Yelia did not get up early in the morning. It is more than 200 miles from the capital to Tianjin. If the carriage travels quickly, it can reach Tianjin in more than ten hours, but the city gate has long been closed and cannot enter the city. So.
Li Guolou and Yelia were going to spend the night at the inn in the middle of the road. The four of them stayed in bed for a while in the morning. Li Guolou was the first to be kicked out of bed by the three grandmothers.
For the first time, Li Guolou and Yelia went out from the front door openly, followed by a French couple. The neighbors in Dengcao Hutong stopped to watch. They had long heard about the adultery in the Wei Mansion, and this time they were finally caught by the people.
A positive one.
Silence is golden. Li Guolou said nothing and took off his hat to greet the neighbors. He did not answer questions. Li Guolou and Yelia greeted their aunts and grandmothers in English and French. This time it was Xie Xiuzhu and Chen Xiangfang's turn to take the lead.
Zheng Lingling slipped out of the back door. The people in Wei Mansion were full of sneaky atmosphere and people here did not have good relations with their neighbors.
The carriage headed east and left the city from Mingyang Gate, running on the wide straight road. The sky was gray and drizzling. The four people in the carriage were dozing off. In the morning, everything should be revived. Yelia was in Li Guolou's arms.
But he slept soundly.
At noon, the carriage turned into the Ma Kee dealership, and the coachman Liu Mingcheng went to the dealership to exchange horses. This is the advantage of renting a car. Although it seems that the cost is not much cheaper than raising horses at home? But there are no sequelae. Even if the horse dies, you will
I won't feel bad.
Li Guolou, Jelia and two French servants got out of the car to stretch their muscles and go to the guest lounge next to them to rest and eat the lunch they had brought with them. The maid Sherry Jones opened the cloth bag and took out the wooden box inside.
Rice balls and snacks made by Xiangfang herself.
The rice balls have meat floss filling, sashimi filling, and sea rice filling. There is ginseng and some seaweed inside, and the outside is wrapped with a layer of yellow paper specially used for wrapping food. Drinking hot tea and eating various rice balls, four people speak three languages.
They chatted in Jili Gulu. They refused to eat the food in the car dealership because they disliked the unclean food. Chen Xiangfang had already prepared lunch for the four of them in the morning.
The coachman Liu Mingcheng does not need to prepare lunch for him. This is his territory. Liu Mingcheng wants to chat with other coachmen inside. The coachmen will gossip about their employer here. Li Guolou first
The story of catching three spread to further places through chats between coachmen and employers.
Li Guolou asked: "Yelia, are you used to it? If not, just eat biscuits and leave the rice balls for me."
Yelia stretched out her hand to grab the last rice ball in the box, and said softly: "Why? This is grandma's love rice ball. I like to eat it. The food in Japan is quite hygienic. I love the food made by my own people."
That’s why I dare to eat it.”
Li Guolou said with a playful smile: "Yelia, why do you call the rice balls made by grandma the love rice balls?"
Jelia lost the restraint of a French noblewoman and scolded: "Fuck you British gangster, I know you are cruel." After saying that, he took half of the rice ball in his mouth with a fierce mouth, and the expression on his face became better.
strangeness.
When Li Guolou saw that the rice balls were gone, he could only get biscuits to eat. The biscuits were very fragrant, but they were too dry in the mouth. He had to drink them with tea to get them into his stomach. Li Guolou ate two biscuits.
If you don't eat it, this kind of food can only be eaten as a snack, not as lunch.
Li Guolou was half hungry and half full but did not dare to tell the truth. He said: "Anyone who has poop or urine should go quickly, we are about to set off."
Yelia scolded angrily: "Alexander Dumas, a great writer, can you speak with some restraint?" After saying this, Yelia glared at Li Guolou to let him know that he should learn to be a superior person and not lead her two servants into bad ways.
Li Guolou stood in the yard waiting for Yelia to take care of his personal hygiene. A carriage drove into the yard, and the coachman jumped down to take off the bridle and prepare to change the horse.
Two bodyguards jumped out of the carriage and saw Li Guolou nodding slightly. They had met Li Guolou in the martial arts hall in the past. They all looked familiar and unfamiliar. Now that the bodyguards were guarding the bodyguards, they did not come over to say hello to Li Guolou.
Li Guolou couldn't help but be a little interested in the owner protected by the escort. He wanted to see what the merchant looked like.
The merchant on the carriage did not show up, but the merchant's voice was heard saying: "Master Duan, get me a cup of hot tea, I won't get off."
The tall escort Duan raised his voice and said, "Hey, Mr. Zhang, I'll get it for you right now." After saying that, he walked towards Li Guo's floor and said, "I'm sorry, fake foreign devil. I can't talk to you because of my duty."
Already."
According to the rules of the escort agency, when escorting escorts, they cannot strike up conversations with people they don't know. Otherwise, if something goes wrong on the way, the merchants will tell them where the escorts met the thieves and conspire inside and outside to steal his money.
Li Guolou didn't mind and said casually: "It's okay, Escort Duan, you guys are busy, I'll leave right away."
The other guard, who was slightly shorter, didn't leave the carriage very far and kept jumping around and flexing his muscles in the drizzle.
If you sit for a long time, you will feel uncomfortable all over. Li Guolou couldn't help but admire Mr. Zhang in the carriage. He was able to sit still from the capital to here. His iron-butt kung fu was really impressive.
The carriage driver Liu Mingcheng shook the horse's reins, and the carriage drove out from Ma Kee's carriage house. Three strong horses happened to step into Ma Kee's carriage house.
Li Guolou looked at the three people riding horses from the car window. They were wearing bamboo hats and raincoats. Why did they have to cover half of their faces? Feeling a little uneasy, he closed the curtains and said, "Who cares?"
?Even if there is a robbery at Ma Kee's dealership, he can stay out of it
Duwai, with three noble French friends beside him, how could they be put in danger? Li Guolou couldn't help but touch the short-barreled musket at his waist, took it out and said: "Yelia, Ma Kee Car Shop"
A robbery happened here, do you want me to take care of it?"
Li Guolou is no longer saved. Now he only has eyes for Jelia Wood, and he will listen to her in everything he says. Love is blind, no matter how far apart their status, money, and environment are, now Li Guolou and Jelia Wood
·Wood sticks together, and all actions must be directed by Jelia Wood.
Yelia was horrified and looked at Li Guolou with wide eyes, trying to tell from his expression whether Li Guolou was joking or serious? But Li Guolou opened the safety valve of the musket, and Yelia directly ordered
: "Edward, open the bag quickly, someone wants to rob us."
As he spoke, Edward Jones hurriedly opened the suitcase at his feet, and three short-barreled muskets were scattered inside. They all fell on the ground of the carriage box. The three Frenchmen each found their own muskets.
At this time, the recoil of the short-barreled musket was very strong, and it was difficult for women to control the gun. Therefore, women held the short-barreled musket with both hands. It was easy to point the muzzle forward when picking up the gun.
Li Guolou's first reaction was to say urgently: "Yelia, Xie Rui, put the muzzle of the gun down quickly. You two are not allowed to shoot casually. Don't raise the muzzle of the gun until no one rushes to the carriage. If you hold the gun like this, I will
and Edward will be shot to death by you two."
Jelia and Xerui pointed their guns down nervously, trembling with fear, fearing that the robbers would steal their wealth and sex.
Edward Jones, who is in his forties, has beards on both sides of his cheeks. This was a popular beard in Western society at that time. It was originally a beard trimmed by nobles. It takes time to take care of this weird big beard every day. The person looks a bit like
Just like a baboon. The chef Edward Jones was originally a lowly Frenchman. When he came to the Qing Empire, he became a superior person. He didn't have to be busy with life and had plenty of time, so he trimmed this big beard to show off.
Edward Jones asked: "Mike, where are the robbers?"
Li Guolou said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. The robbers didn't pay attention to us. They ran to the Ma Kee dealership to rob a big businessman. What I want to ask is, should I save the businessman named Zhang?"
"
"That's it!" Yelia was like a frustrated British ball. He relaxed suddenly and felt a little hesitant. He looked at Li Guolou and was reluctant to let Li Guolou take risks.
People who believe in God have a sense of justice. While hesitating, Jelia said: "Mike is very dangerous. Do you have to go?"
Li Guolou argued: "We didn't save Yelia this time because they were unlucky. Next time it's our turn, they won't save us. This is God's test for us. You have to firmly believe that God will bless us."
."
His well-spoken words immediately earned Jelia's nod, and he said with approval: "Mike, you are the most masculine man I have ever seen, although you still lack some masculinity. Go ask the groom to turn around, and we will
Go back to Ma Kee. Xiao Liu will definitely agree with your idea. But Mike, are you making a mistake?"
Li Guolou glanced at Edward's weird beard awkwardly. Western women just like to touch furry things. Not having a beard is a shortcoming. He was not sure whether what he was thinking was true. Before he could answer in the affirmative, there was a sound behind him.
Two gunshots were fired.
Li Guolou said anxiously: "Xiao Zhang, please turn the horse's head quickly, something has happened to the horse."
The carriage is not a human being. It can turn around as long as there is enough room for turning. The carriage driver Liu Mingcheng pulled the reins of the horse and turned around and said: "Mike, I can't turn around."
Li Guolou pushed open the front door and said, "Edward protects your wife. Don't get out of the car. I'll go take a look first."
Li Guolou jumped down from the running carriage. The ground was so slippery that he could not stand firmly. Li Guolou rolled forward and squatted on the ground in a starting position. He secretly resented that he had changed.
He has lost his sense of justice and even the basic principles of life. This is not himself. Now he wants to find his original self. Li Guolou is running through the misty streets.
The foreign-looking top hat flew into the mud and was immediately picked up by a passer-by and ran away quickly, with the ponytail on the back of his head pulled into a straight line. This passer-by ran no slower than Li Guolou, but he did not believe in God.
, so God immediately punished him and made him throw a dog and eat its shit. The passerby raised his head, his mouth was full of mud, and half of his front teeth were missing.
