With a smile on his fickle face, Li Guolou walked into the private room of four noble French friends and toasted two French reporters and two French boxing masters with tea instead of wine.
As the saying goes, eaters have short hands and scoopers have weak hands. Reporter Eugene and photographer Qu Tafu were eating and scooping in Baozhifang. They were already patting their chests and promising that this time Li Guolou would show a positive image and would not be in the newspapers again. The Qing Dynasty, under which the foreigners looked down, revealed a braided little breeder chicken.
Li Guolou was a little worried. The Western powers had deceived the Qing people not once and twice. They could be described as countless crimes, and they criticized the Qing Empire's system of three wives and four concubines in detail. But there is one thing that the French nation has to say about the Qing Dynasty. Men who have many lovers still appreciate them very much, so Li Guolou classified his relationships with the three women as lovers and never admitted that he had any plans to get married.
Reporter Eugene nodded with satisfaction and said: "Well, that's better. Mrs. Yelia, do you have any secrets for maintaining a harmonious relationship with Mike's other two lovers?"
Mrs. Yelia sat on the back chair, glanced at Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu who were standing behind her, and said proudly: "Mr. Eugene, you should see that my status is the most noble, Mike's two lovers Everyone must listen to my command, just like we in France command the Qing Dynasty, power is always in the hands of civilized people. Don't you see that they all dress like us Westerners? In Mike's eyes, I am the noblest golden flower, and they The two of them are just two mandarin leaves."
Yelia spoke her true feelings in French. She was not worried at all that her words would cause Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu to be unhappy. Could the Qing people understand what she said? There was no future trouble to be eliminated. Even if the truth newspaper in the concession was published tomorrow, It was better for her to read it to the Qing people.
Eugene wrote down the incisive language spoken by Jelia. In his mind, Jelia was the noble French golden flower, and the savage Qing lover Mike was a big stallion. The plot of the story is based on This topic was written down, and only French people like to read this kind of content. From the bottom of his heart, Eugene did not believe that Li Guolou could beat Robinson in a boxing match.
Eugene raised his head and smiled: "Mr. Mike, the first issue of Mrs. Yelia's story about the two of you will be published tomorrow. It is an exclusive interview I did with Mrs. Yelia. I will scoop up the latest newspaper tomorrow. Next. I will intersperse your two stories and tell readers that the protagonist of the next issue is Mr. Mike. I would like to take some photos of Mr. Mike training boxing. Please allow Mr. Mike to grant my request."
Li Guolou was dressed in fancy clothes, a shirt and a cashmere sweater, and he did not look strong. In his dark heart, Eugene wanted to take some photos to show the thin Qing figure to the French, and let Li Guolou* The naked photos were published in Pravda, allowing more foreigners to see the ugly Qing people. What kind of Qing people would fight in bed until dawn? It would arouse the interest of more readers.
Li Guolou didn't know that Yelia had also told him about his bed. He nodded casually and said: "Okay, Mr. Eugene, I'd like to thank you and Mr. Qutav for going to the training ground again." Again. Turning around, she said: "Xiaofang gives bread to French friends. Their staple food is bread. If they don't like rice, I will also serve the sauce you made. There is always something French friends like to eat."
Someone liking her cooking is the biggest reward for Chen Xiangfang. Chen Xiangfang walked out radiantly.
Xie Xiuzhu saw that the French reporter was not interested in her, so she left with Chen Xiangfang knowingly. Li Guolou let out a long breath, it was not easy to make up the affairs of the second mistress, and the scandals of the Qing Empire could not be known to the Western empire. Women just love to show off. , he was bragging and asked him to be the trustee. If a French reporter digs out his messy private life and publishes it in Pravda, the international joke will become big.
Next, Li Guolou talked about his childhood and his life abroad in the UK. The four Frenchmen had enough to eat and drink, and the first interview with Pravda reporter Eugene was over. The four Frenchmen praised the bread. Eat, the authentic French food is the most delicious food here. Chen Xiangfang felt so panicked that she ate a table of Qing palace dishes, and what she praised before leaving was the Western bread.
Chen Xiangfang bowed and apologized: "Thank you to the four French distinguished guests for your teachings. I will definitely make real French cuisine next time and treat you to a taste."
Eugene pushed up his glasses frame and said, "Xiao Fang, don't go to such trouble. We will still eat here tomorrow. We need the last bun. It doesn't matter anything else."
Photographer Qutav was carrying a camera, and Eugene was carrying a satchel, with two bags of bread in his hands, plus a packaged roast duck and a Cantonese fried chicken.
Chen Xiangfang glanced at the table and saw that there was not even a plate of sauce left. French people are really good at eating. They finished the whole table of wine and food. Before leaving, she said that French food is the best in the world.
Li Guolou ran to the backyard to see the three little thieves. They were peeling potatoes after dinner. Li Guolou praised them and said: "Little Shitou, Shiyatou, and Xiaomaoxian, from now on you will listen to Aunt Qian's words." , I will tell you to behave yourself. From now on, I will let you study in the morning and come here to work in the afternoon. If you don't like working, you can leave. I won't force you to stay. If you leave, don't come back. This is the first rule. Remember it all. ?”
"Remember!" The three children felt very good after eating the delicious food, and they were all thinking about what delicious food they would have in the evening.
Li Guolou secretly said to Qian Shuiping: "Sister-in-law Qian, put your valuable things in the south room at my house. One day when the brat escapes, he will be the first to scoop you up and let Xu Biao and the others do the same. I don’t believe they will get better if they put all the things in Mistress’s house.” “Not even women?” Qian Shuiping couldn’t believe it.
Li Guolou sighed: "You know too much and you have no shame, you know? I also want them to get better, but I also have to prepare for the worst. I will ask a prison chief to discipline them and scare them to the ground first. It will be easier to discipline them from now on. Keep an eye on them these days and don’t let their good appearance fool you. Let them eat a little worse than the employees. If you want to eat well, peel more potatoes for me."
Qian Shuiping snickered and quickly covered his mouth to prevent others from seeing him, and said: "Xiaolou, you are the only one willing to take in the thieves. I'm not afraid of them escaping, but I'm afraid they will attract more thieves. I don't have so many potatoes here. The skin is peeled by them, but the handymen are smart and will take the work back."
Li Guolou said: "I don't dare to think about the consequences anymore. Anyway, as soon as I have money, someone will try to take advantage of me. Let me tell you some good news. The eunuch Li Lianying took the photos of Baozhifang dishes taken by your lover and brought them into the palace. Show it to the Empress Dowager and Emperor Tongzhi. If you are lucky, Roberts can enter the palace and take photos of the dishes in the imperial dining room. Once Roberts grasps the path of wealth, rich people in the capital will come to him to take photos. You tell him to wash up and spray more French perfume. .”
"Fuck you!" Qian Shuiping angrily scolded Li Guolou, with a smile on his face. She didn't have to hide in a corner and cry alone. She could love her openly and honestly once she scooped up a divorce letter.
Seeing Qian Shuiping's bright smile, Li Guolou was completely speechless. He heard the new man laugh, but the old man cried. Qian Shuiping's ex-husband Ma Dabangzi, who lost everything in gambling and lost his fortune, would one day jump into the cold Yongding River by himself. And Even if he knew the outcome, he would not pull a big stick into the river and watch his former neighbor die with a cold heart.
Li Guolou scolded the three children, and before leaving, he said: "Sister-in-law Qian, after peeling the potatoes, take them to buy clothes. Don't bring the lice home. Then take them to the bathhouse to take a bath and clean them." Throw away your clothes. I will come to see you tomorrow. You must have perseverance to contribute to the country in the future. After the New Year, I will help you register your household registration. I will give you names, please give me the surname Li."
"Yes! Mr. Li!" The three little children of the thieves already know who they will be in the future. One day they will be Li Guolou's godsons and goddaughters. The only condition is to endure the lonely and boring life and pretend to be Li Guolou. A good person.
Xie Xiuzhu and Yelia accompanied Li Guolou home. Although Li Guolou was in a bad mood on the carriage, he still said: "Second Grandma asked the servants to keep an eye on the two reporters and not let them come into contact with the neighbors. Wei Zhuangyong went out and sent the reporters a little farther away. Hey! It would be better to just call a carriage to accompany them back, so that I can rest assured."
"Coward!" Xie Xiuzhu angrily scolded Li Guolou, and her heart dropped. The reporter would conceivably try to trick her neighbor into spying on a big family consisting of a man and three women. Fortunately, Li Guolou thought of a perfect plan. Don't let the family scandal be exposed in the French newspaper Pravda.
Li Guolou warned: "Yelia, you must not believe the reporters' guarantees. They have no friends and will only try their best to dig up your a**. The first few interviews will tend to our side. When Robinson takes action, The editor of Pravda will go to Robinson's side, and the reporter Eugene will sell us out for his own position. Just wait until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the sewage will be poured on our heads."
"Ah! It's a shame that I still treat them as friends. I won't serve them anymore." Yelia lost his temper.
"Don't! In the end, we still have an advantage. The French know Robinson Crusoe, but who will know you, Jelia? Let them pour water on you. Then you can find another newspaper and sell your story to them. Let them serialize it and add a few vague sentences to express doubts about the death of her ex-husband. The directors of Little White's White Shipping Company just asked Little White to leave for the sake of innocence. Isn't your revenge half avenged?"
Jelia said in surprise: "Mike, why did you think of it so far away?"
Li Guolou pointed to his head and said: "I haven't slept all night." His one-night romance was like fighting against two flying swallows alone, and he was able to do two things at once, which made Xie Xiuzhu filled with righteous indignation.
"You want to die!" Xie Xiuzhu threw herself into Li Guolou's arms and bit Li Guolou's neck. A deep tooth mark appeared on Li Guolou's neck.
"You've been bitten by a vampire. Mike, you won't die. Immortality is a good sign!" Yelia thought of the vampires in the West and spoke with emotion.
Li Guolou did not dare to scream out for fear of being heard by the coachman. He touched the bite mark and looked back and forth to see if there was any bleeding on his palm. Seeing that Xie Xiuzhu was really angry, he hurriedly hugged Xie Xiuzhu and said, "Second Grandma, you believe this too." , I thought of it when I was walking in the morning, and at night I only have eyes for you and grandma."
"Don't hug me! Be honest, work hard, come on!" Xie Xiuzhu looked sideways at Li Guolou.
Li Guolou turned his head and glared angrily at Yelia for betraying him in two days. The biggest stain in his life was exposed. What status did he still have in this family? Li Guolou turned his head angrily and ignored everyone. The two lovers He immediately hugged Li Guolou and gave him some benefits. He was young and had no long-term temper, and Li Guolou obeyed after one round.
