After joking, Li Guolou returned to his normal form. He took a sip of tea and said: "Master Bao, I have taken care of this woman. Our Sunrise Plan is a desperate situation. President Zhen will take the lead. Those ignorant Manchus will vote for it." . It will pass this month. Just take a look."
"So fast." Bao Yiyi didn't believe it. He had already learned how slow Manren's movements were.
Li Guolou smiled casually and said: "President Zhen wants to show off her merits in front of me. She promised me by patting her chest. In her line of work, she knows everything about what the Manchu nobles did in the concession. Manchu. People also have to give President Zhen face, right?"
"Oh... let's take pictures of breast enlargement." Zhu Danyu interjected, causing the whole room to burst into laughter again.
"Well... I believe in you. Let's make a fortune together in the future. Tell me where the land you bought in the British Concession is. I will also buy a piece of land." Bao Yiyi also wanted to leave a way out and buy a piece of land first. The construction project can be handled by Li Guolou.
"Oh...it's at No. 18 Xiafei Road. Mr. Bao is like this. Building a garden house is very expensive. I don't have so much money at the moment. I build a wall first. The building on the side facing the road is fake. This way the British devils won't cause trouble. Otherwise, if you buy land and don't build a bungalow, you will be fined." Li Guolou talked about the shortcomings of the British Concession. This is how everyone fooled the British devils.
"Oh..." Zhu Danyu suddenly realized: "No wonder the British Concession looks so prosperous. It turns out there is such a thing."
"Hey, the British devils also want to save face. We are all human beings. The concession will not be a government investment. The British will only build public facilities with the compensation from the Qing Dynasty. Other buildings are private investments. They are not stupid. They agreed to return it to the Qing Dynasty in a hundred years. How could they use the money in their own pockets?" Li Guolou revealed the British intentions. Foreigners were also doing the same thing.
Bao Yiyi said: "Xiao Lizi, when Jelia returns to Tianjin, I will ask her to help me buy a piece of land. We will be neighbors after Xiafei Road. I will leave the construction to you. You are good at Western architecture. Money is not yours." Less of you."
Li Guolou lowered his head and quickly admitted his mistake: "It's my fault for not paying close attention to this kid in Quanzhong. Gambling is addictive. Mr. Bao must not indulge him just because he won once. No matter how big the family fortune is, You will also lose everything to the gambler. You can't let him take charge of your business in the future. If he loses, he will make false accounts to fool you. Let me give you a good advice. As long as you are alive, don't give your family's property to Quan. In a hundred years, you will be out of sight."
Bao Yiyi stroked his beard and nodded: "Well... I have thought of this a long time ago. My son and Danyu have to settle their lives. This time our punishment department has made a great contribution. As long as the next five years pass steadily, I will You can still get promoted. I will protect you from now on. I can't do anything about your file. I didn't write the assessment. Those old academics cannot be bribed. Do you understand this?"
There is a bitter taste in Li Guolou's mouth. Official files cannot be changed. They are classified as state-level secrets and are part of a corrupt life. They will stay with him throughout his life. Only by keeping his family together can the world be peaceful. Family problems will drag down his official career. The choice between trade-offs was his own choice. He could no longer look back.
Bao Yi patted Li Guolou on the shoulder and said: "Little Lizi, you must find that diamond for me. Cheng Kunyu is the chess piece. The Queen Mother will always use it. Have a good relationship with Cheng Kunyu. It's good for everyone." There are benefits to all.”
"Tie." Li Guolou turned up his horseshoe sleeves and knelt on the ground with one leg. He said, "Don't worry, Mr. Bao. I will definitely take the stolen goods and do the job well. I have issued a military order. It will last for five days. Arrive. Now I must let Mr. Bao see what a fifteen carat diamond looks like."
"Hmm...Xiao Lizi, I want to participate in the silver stock business you asked your wife to do. Do you understand that we should be fair businessmen?" Bao Yiyi approached the God of Wealth. He expected Li Guo The business line is prosperous, but the official luck is not much better.
"This..." Li Guolou rolled his eyes at Bao. There was a little husband beside him who couldn't say it. This bisexual officer is now obsessed with the gypsy Yesenia. And Yesenia always I felt that he knew things like a god and was always whispering in Bao Yiyi's ears. So Bao Yiyi had to be neighbors with Li Guolou and get involved in Li Guolou's business. This put him in an awkward position as a matchmaker. How can it be so embarrassing?
"Yes." Li Guolou turned around quickly and hurriedly agreed. It's a good thing. He is doing business in the capital and has the golden sign of Bao Tong. No god dares to come and eat his Tang Monk flesh. Even the Tianzihao brothers will not interfere. His business, this is fine, can be separated from the Jianghu brothers. For serious business, it is better to draw a clear line with the Jianghu people. One day, he will wash his hands with gold basin like Yu Hanbing, the big boss of Ge Laohui, and become a conscientious national businessman. .
Li Guolou still had the biggest concern. He approached with a playful smile and asked, "Mr. Bao, will the case from the Ministry of Household Affairs be investigated?"
Bao Yiyi pointed his finger upward and said, "It depends on God's will. I'm waiting for the secret decree. I have to wait for the Ba'ath party's affairs to be settled. We can't start a fire in the backyard now. Do you understand?"
"Zha." Li Guolou saw Bao picking up the tea cup and kept blinking at him. It meant that there were some things that the young husband Zhu Danyu should not know. He wanted to talk about it at the British Club event on Friday. He quickly backed away knowingly. The ninth-rank official and the third-rank official are brothers. They play together and still have a superior-subordinate relationship. He is the only one in the punishment department. Now he has really become Bao Tong's subordinate minister. But there is no such relationship as a little husband. It is between real friends. friendship.
Zhu Danyu said suspiciously: "Master Bao, we have so many profitable businesses in the capital. Why are you so humble and begging for little plums?"
"Hey...Danyu, you don't understand. Didn't I leave an extra escape route? Li Zhongtang is favored. Horse racing in the Forbidden City. The good relationship between Xiao Lizi and I is not just a favor. I just put the money I earn wherever I go. "Put it at Xiao Lizi's place. Although I won't make much money now, who can predict what will happen in the future." Bao Yiyi looked into the distance with deep eyes.
Bao Tong belongs to the officials of the Mesozoic Era. He is a disciple of Prince Gong. His official career has been smooth. His current position is powerful and rich. If he moves up further, he will be a first- and second-grade official. Or he will have an empty title and wait for retirement. Then he can Entering the cabinet. This is the real position of high power. The bribes received are all from manors and antiques worth tens of thousands of dollars. That is the center of power. Zeng Guofan is old and dying. Li Hongzhang is the senior. One day he will have a chance. The superior Bao Yiyi was so ambitious that it seemed like he could see the court ten years from now.
Li Guolou walked forward with brisk steps, as if he was dancing at a ball in the British Club. He held Yelia and then changed to Xie Liya, and then to Xie Xiuzhu. Zhen Yuhuan will not go. Li Guolou thought Mei. Mixing garlic under her feet. One foot was mixed on the raised threshold. She stumbled and almost fell down.
Li Guolou regained his footing. This truth told him that he could not be too happy to be sad. He allowed Wu Peipei to spend the night at his house, which was a big trouble. He was asking for trouble and it was not because of the lack of women around him. Why did he do such an outrageous thing? If you want people I don't know if I can't do anything about it. Sooner or later, the superiors will know about this matter. The brothers will also know about it. And his enemies will also know about it. One day, he will be ginseng-ed. He doesn't even have the courage to tell lies.
Thinking of this, Li Guolou was listless. The desire for promotion that had just appeared disappeared. He might as well be alone and stay in the Dizi compound and become a local emperor.
Jin Erzi stretched his head like a giraffe. He was looking forward to it. He saw Li Guolou entering the Criminal Department but was nowhere to be seen. He was very anxious to wait.
"Captain Li." Jin Erzi suddenly jumped in front of Li Guolou and shouted.
"You brat, you want to scare me to death." Li Guolou was frightened three times a day and became a frightened bird. With a wave of his hand, he hit Jin Erzi on the head. This is a sign of his own people. Only a group of brothers can do this. He was beaten and scolded by Li Guolou.
"Hey hey hey." Jin Erzi scratched his head and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, boss, I was a little impatient. Some people are looking for me to redress their grievances. I can only rely on you to stand out."
Li Guolou pointed at Jin Erzi's nose and said: "Look at how you are dying. Don't tell me that the women in Huangcun were kicked out because they were called broken shoes."
"Ah..." Jin Erzi was frightened to death. He thought he had done something without anyone noticing. Li Guolou had known about it for a long time. He waved his hand hurriedly and said in defense: "No, no, it's the guy from Huangcun." But Yue Lanlan came to beg me for help. But no matter what happened between us, Tou, you know, I took the hush money. Yue Lanlan has a big belly. I can get all the family property in the future. What should I do? Will go and ruin the perfect plan? It was Yue Lanlan’s family who had a huge grievance to complain about. But there was no place to cry out, so she came to me. She came to me with a big belly. I felt sad when I saw it. I could only lean on my head. He came forward to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the young scholar. He originally had to take the imperial examination, but now he has even been deprived of his honors and honors. He is also on death row. He is waiting to be executed by the Queen of Autumn."
While talking, Jin Erzi dragged Li Guolou to a corner of the yard and spoke to Li Guolou in a low voice.
Yue Lanlan's natal family is Gu Cun. Her relative's name is Gu Shui Mo. He was admitted as a scholar in his early twenties. He is a prominent figure in Gu Village. The whole village is proud of Gu Shui Mo's admission as a scholar.
On the fifth day of the third lunar month, there was an outing to worship ancestors during the Qingming Festival. Gu Shuimo was well dressed, with a brocade robe and sword, and he joined the outing. It made people know that he was a scholar. (In the Qing Dynasty, men traveled with swords. Only those with a good reputation can wear them.) Think about it Find the person of your dreams.
Gao Yuan Wai is a Gao Yuan Wai of Gaojiazhuang. Her ancestor was the Right Supervisor of the Supervisory Council during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng. She comes from an official family. Gao Yuan Wai is a philanthropic person and has a good reputation in the village. She only got a daughter when she was in her forties. She regards her as the apple of his eye. My daughter, Gao Xiuxiu, is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. In addition, she is good-looking and has a high vision. She does not look down on mediocre men in blind dates. In addition, the high-ranking officials want to find a son-in-law who will inherit the Gao family's wealth one day. Therefore, Gao Xiuxiu is already 20 years old. Being nearly 20 years old and not yet married is a big worry in the mind of a senior official.
Gao Xiuxiu's biological mother passed away a few years ago. She goes to the grave every year to burn incense and pray for her mother. This year is no exception. The grass is green and the spring breeze is warm. There is a certain melancholy in her heart. Things happen to happen. On the way back to Gaojiazhuang Gao Xiuxiu accidentally saw Gu Shuimo in the carriage. He was handsome and walking with a sword. His eyes met with hers, and they were in love with each other. A spark of love was created. There was a kind of affection between them.
Naturally, all this could not escape the eyes of the personal maid Aihua. Aihua was always good at observing people's emotions. He immediately asked the carriage driver to stop the carriage. The maid Aihua then arranged a private match. At ten o'clock in the evening, Gu Shuimo was scheduled to have a tryst with Gao Xiuxiu in the embroidery building. .
When Li Guolou heard this, he already knew what would happen next. He did not interrupt Jin Erzi's statement. He nodded slightly to show his approval. Jin Erzi's words were concise. He was a child who can be taught.
