Li Guolou was stretching his muscles in the yard. He had to recover from overexertion first. He just invited the old lady, and everyone said hello casually. He was young and had money to squander. Li Guolou had a proud look on his face. He had too many things to do and he was crowded together during the Spring Festival for others. Relax, but he has a lot of troubles. Walking easily, his mind cannot relax. He can show his face and leave in the Yamen, but he is indispensable on the Baozhifang platform. He cannot move around in the morning, and boxing practice is in the afternoon. Think about everything carefully , Li Guolou returned to the dining room after walking for three quarters of an hour.
Jelia sat lazily on a chair, drinking strong tea, and raised his eyes and said: "Mike, be polite and invite your two masters to have breakfast together, and then arrange the plans for the next few days. Don't let I'm embarrassed."
Li Guolou said: "Jelia, do you want me to go and invite you personally?" He is a son of a nobleman from the Qing Dynasty, and he wants to invite poor French security guards to dinner. It seems that the class is reversed.
"I'm French, okay. You are a bit gentlemanly. I've already arranged breakfast. It's a combination of Chinese and Western. It's as perfect as we are." Yelia winked. When had she ever treated Li Guolou badly?
Li Guolou leaned over and kissed Yelia's cheek twice. He said he would not do anything that would make him lose money. He must first be rewarded to be motivated.
When Harris and Jack entered the inner house for the first time, they saw everything new. Like children, they ran to skate on the ice of the pool. Outsiders were not allowed into the large inner house of the wealthy Qing Dynasty. This was the rule of a wealthy family. But Li Guolou and Yelia didn't care. They were the ones who broke the rules. When Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu came downstairs, it was hard to say anything about them. Li Guolou only gave them two pairs of big eyes.
Zheng Lingling clamored to go to Baozhi's room to play. Li Guolou glanced at her and said, "Xiaofang, please hire a tutor for Lingling. Lingling is smart and asked Yelia to hire a French woman to teach Lingling how to read. Foreign languages should start in elementary school. In the future, I will study abroad like my father."
Chen Xiangfang said: "I think they are still British. English is more popular than French, right?"
Yelia said dryly: "Yeah! Mike, I can teach Lingling simple French. Does Lingling want to learn it?"
Zheng Lingling drank the milk and nodded: "I think French milk is better."
Li Guolou said: "Wan Niang, help Lingling wipe her mouth."
Chen Xiangfang asked: "Xiaolou, can Lingling change her last name?"
Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Chen Xiangfang and said: "We are not married yet, and we are not together. How can we change our household registration? You are doing the opposite. My brother and sister are coming soon. I don't know where they live yet." Woolen cloth?"
Chen Xiangfang smiled and said: "Xiaolou, we believe you can handle it. The most troublesome is to let your family live in the Anhui Association Hall. We go there every day to say hello." Not to mention how proud she felt, living in a mansion and being served by servants. In the days of reaching the sky in one step, becoming a rich man and living a life of fine clothing and fine food. In the past, my hands were soaked in cold water to wash clothes, but now I will never do such a lowly job again.
Li Guolou said discouraged: "It will take twenty or thirty days. I will be exhausted."
Yelia showed a strange expression and said: "Mike, work hard!"
Li Guolou glared at Yelia fiercely, trying to shut her up.
Jelia said: "Harris, Jack, don't mind if Mike doesn't treat you as outsiders, you can eat whatever you want. From now on, as long as Mike is at home, you can come to the inner house. If Mike is not here, you can eat like our servants."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Harris and Jack were all surrounded by food, and they both ate with relish. They were both big-bellied men.
Yelia shook his head and said: "Mike, drink the raw eggs. This is the nutritious breakfast that Master has prepared for you."
Six raw eggs were beaten into a bowl of milk on the table. Li Guolou swallowed his saliva, suppressed his nausea, gritted his teeth and poured it into his stomach.
"Okay----" Zheng Lingling's milky voice encouraged Li Guolou.
Li Guolou said: "Master Harris, Master Jack, I have to go to the Yamen in the morning. If you want to go out to play, you can go out. At noon, we will have dinner together in Baozhifang, which counts as me supporting the two masters. In the afternoon, we will start training. I have to make a timetable for the next training plan, and I will implement it according to the plan."
Harris asked: "Mike, have you ever boxed?"
Li Guolou said: "I have seen how others box, learned the movements, and practiced for a while, but I have never fought in actual combat."
Harris nodded and said: "As long as you have practiced, it will be fine. I saw that you have never boxed before. People who have boxed have scars on their faces."
Li Guolou sighed: "Master Harris, your Western boxing is too cruel. You can beat someone to death with one punch. How can you do it in actual combat? You can only practice for fun."
Western boxing is very cruel. It is a life-and-death fight without gloves. The palms are only wrapped with cloth bands, and the shirtless and shorts compete in the ring. There are no other protective measures. This sport is a sport for the lowly people in the West, and the children of aristocrats. Rarely participated in it. Those who fought were left with lifelong scars and disabilities, and several deaths were commonplace. Different from the fencing and musket duels of the nobles, Western boxing became popular in bars and began as a gambling event. .However, more and more people like this sport. Fencing and musketry duels are gradually eliminated by society. Only boxing is recognized by Western society. Even killing people in the boxing ring does not violate the law.
"This is what you call a man. I have fought in real combat. There is no way out in a life-and-death fight. When I got to the boxing ring, I no longer wanted to pretend to fall. I just wanted to knock down my opponent. Mike, if you have the skills, you can fight with Robinson." The gap is not as big as four times." The younger Jack started the first class, and his words of encouragement gave Li Guolou more confidence.
Li Guolou glanced at the three grandmothers and said: "I am confident that I can defeat Robinson, and you are not allowed to hold me back." After the lust, Li Guolou reflected on himself and found that the three grandmothers were all at fault for sleeping in his bed. .
Zheng Lingling hugged Li Guolou's legs and said with a sweet voice: "Dad, let me help you drag your legs to the front."
The three grandmothers smiled sweetly. They had full confidence in Li Guolou. This confidence was burned into their hearts from the moment Li Guolou lay on their bodies. This man would never lose.
Harris and Jack held hands tightly. They also saw a new life. The two new employers were generous and generous. What made them even more satisfied was that Li Guolou and Jelia were easy-going and treated them as their own. Respect the superiors as well, and let them have the ambition to die for their confidants.
Harris and Jack left after breakfast. Li Guolou walked them to the door of the inner house and turned back.
Jelia came over and said, "Mike, I'll wait for you at the entrance of the criminal department in the morning. You haven't played outside with me yet."
Li Guolou said: "Why are you playing! You have not enjoyed my service. I will train hard in the afternoon. If I play anymore, I will die from Robinson's fist. I can't play anymore."
"Huh!" Yelia said softly: "Fool, I just want you to walk by my side. I can't live without you. I sleep alone next to you at night. They are all too nasty, but I am the best behaved. "
Li Guolou sighed: "Dear Yelia, when I am with you, my ambition will revive. In order to get your love, I will fight a powerful enemy like a lion. But spare me, you sleep in my bed The next result is that I will lose this decisive battle."
Yelia twisted his body and said: "Okay, okay, I'll let you sleep alone at night. I'll pick you up in the morning, around ten o'clock. Then you can have a good chat with reporter Eugene until you finish lunch. I just want to watch you practice boxing."
Li Guolou said affectionately: "Dear Yelia, can I propose to you on the boxing ring?"
Jelia raised his head and thought for a while, then said: "Only if you win, you can scoop out the ring. If you lose, we can run away."
Li Guolou said: "If I lose, I won't be able to escape. I will lie on the ground and pretend to be dead."
Jelia warned: "Mike, listen to the Second Grandma, don't risk your life if you fight hard. If you really can't win, it won't be shameful. I won't leave you."
Li Guolou hugged Yelia tightly and said, "Dear Yelia, I must win to win your love, so that you will never leave me."
"Yeah!" There was a smile on Yelia's face, and tears flowed on Li Guolou's cheeks. It was impossible to tell who shed them.
In the room, Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu looked at each other with hot eyes. Xie Xiuzhu sighed: "Grandma, since you have already taken advantage of it, let's get pregnant before we are married. Do you agree?"
Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "Second Grandma, I think you are sick. Is this such a coincidence? You and your husband haven't seen anything for two or three years. We have only slept with Xiaolou a few times. Let's continue to have fun. , have you forgotten that there are three days left?”
Xie Xiuzhu showed a proud expression on her face and nodded: "It depends on God's will. As long as the foreign woman doesn't get ahead of her, I can accept it. Do you have any experience in giving birth to a child?"
Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said: "Second Grandma, you go to the doctor in the morning and get organized, don't bother me anymore."
Xie Xiuzhu felt sorry for herself and looked at Li Guolou with a resentful look. When will the good seeds take root and sprout in her belly? She had long forgotten about her dead husband Wei Wenshao. She had not lit the three sticks of incense for the deceased in the morning. .
"Grandma, I listen to you. Go to the Mission Hospital in the morning to see the doctor before coming to Baozhifang. You must not tell Xiaolou, he will be scared to death."
"Ah!" Chen Xiangfang looked at Xie Xiuzhu in surprise and said anxiously: "Second Grandma, others are gossiping."
"Look! What are you in a hurry for?" Xie Xiuzhu shouted angrily with dissatisfaction.
Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu took Zheng Lingling's hand to make trouble with Li Guolou. How could they only favor Yelia? There are three women who love him here. How can they forget the boundless love?
Li Guolou was putting on his coat and getting ready to go out. Chef Wei Zhuangyong hurried into the inner courtyard. Judging from his appearance, something big must have happened outside, otherwise he would not have entered the inner courtyard.
Xie Ma went up to greet her and grumbled, "What are you doing in here?"
Wei Zhuangyong glared angrily and said, "The Ax Gang is here and they are sitting in the living room. Can I not come in and talk to the master?"
"Ah!" Xie's mother's expression changed with fright, and they both walked to the lounge (living room) downstairs to report to the master and mistress.
This time, the Eighth Master of the Ax Gang did not come after a long trip, so he gave Li Guolou and Xie Xiuzhu face, so he sent two of his men to ask for the remaining balance of 1,500 taels from the compensation that Xie Xiuzhu promised him. silver.
When Li Guolou heard this, he was almost impulsive. He rushed to the door, stopped, turned around and said: "Second Grandma, I'm going to meet those two young Luos and bring them five hundred taels of silver back to pay their bills. Let's also have a peaceful year." , there’s no need to get angry with them. Don’t worry, Second Mistress, Master Manba will never see the spring.”
Xie Xiuzhu knew from Chen Xiangfang's mouth that Li Guolou killed people without batting an eye. b1 3kanwang/b walked up to Li Guolou and tugged on his coat. She said with some worry: "Xiaolou, you don't have to risk your life. There are so many people. You raise it."
Li Guolou smiled stiffly and said: "Second Grandma, don't worry I won't take action. My family has a big business now, how can I still do such a thing? I have a younger brother who can do it. You can cheat the street and eat. Our family will be innocent from now on, and no one will dare to do anything against us."
Li Guolou stabilized his mind and walked out of the inner house with Wei Zhuangyong. He thought that before he became strong, he would pretend to be a humble grandson. He would not wipe his face even if he spit on it. Instead, he would greet him with a smile and let him spit on his face on the other side. superior.
It is impossible for women to keep secrets. The three grandmothers gathered together and whispered everything that happened to Li Guolou. Their nervous expressions turned into smiles.
