Leisure time flew by, and Li Guolou, who had nothing to do, crossed his legs, drank bitter coffee, and sat in a cafe to pass the time.
Xie Liya put on makeup, put on makeup, and tidied up, then said: "Xiaolou, go shopping with me."
Li Guolou frowned and said, "Dear, haven't you seen my face?"
"The swelling has subsided and you can see people now." Shelia rolled her eyes.
"Oh!" Li Guolou stood up, paid a tip of two francs, and walked out of the cafe with Xie Liya on his arm. He had already experienced the pain of shopping with women.
The waitress was overjoyed when she saw the consumption on the table. She hurriedly opened the door, bent down and said, "Welcome to come again next time."
"Well, the Italian pizza here is delicious. We will come tomorrow." Li Guolou replied politely in French, as if he was proficient in various languages. Although he didn't know much French, it didn't hurt to show off a few words.
Li Guolou was quite satisfied when he saw four Chinese police officers following behind him to protect their safety. The French cared about him and knew that his status was respected.
"Hey! Shelia, Li Hongzhang didn't take me with him when he went abroad this time, because he was afraid that I would steal his limelight. Otherwise we could see Czar Alexander II, Queen Victoria of England, Emperor William of Prussia, Prime Minister Bismarck, and the great Mr. Nobel. Li Hongzhang is a chicken thief who burns bridges. I earned the money for them to go abroad. If I hadn't paid for it, these old antiques wouldn't have visited foreign countries and spent money in ten years. In the end, they treated me like a minion. As a result, you can't even return home in fine clothes." Li Guolou felt a bad breath in his chest, and he couldn't stop spitting it out.
In order to ease the relationship between Li Guolou, Li Hongzhang asked the emperor to grant him the status of an imperial envoy, allowing him to inspect the army in the Zhili area and inspect the three eastern provinces. However, these errands did not make Li Guolou feel good, so he went abroad to inspect It was a pity that it was not his turn.
"Hey!" Xie Liya had nothing to say. Their family had done so many things for the revitalization of the Qing Empire, but they were treated like slaves by the emperor. There were too few men in the family, and no one fought for their interests.
"Xiaolou, you are an imperial envoy, can you take me there?" Xie Liya was unwilling to read the account books at home and wanted to know more about the customs and customs of the Qing Dynasty.
"Take you?" Li Guolou felt guilty and timid. Countless scenes flashed through his mind. After a long time, he nodded and said, "Yes, but you can't visit the barracks to avoid being chewed on."
"Oh... That's great, let Bai Lian serve us two." Xie Liya still regarded her ninth grandmother Bai Lian as a servant, so how could she take a concubine like Bai Lian, who was born as a maid, in her eyes.
Li Guolou was dejected. It was impossible to have an even bowl of water at home. When people were together, they always had to distinguish themselves. The furnishings in each grandma's room can reflect their status. Rich and pampered grandma, precious things. More.
He also has a judgment of good and bad in his heart. Bai Lian, who was born as a maid, has a low level of education and plays a role of serving others. At first, he fell in love with Bai Lian to give face to his eighth grandma Wu Peipei. Afterwards, he reflected on the transaction and found that he had lost money every time he entered and exited. .Girl movies are just that. There is no reason to put them in a bowl after eating them. You can just wipe your mouth and run away. Unfortunately, he is not ruthless enough and even slapped his face to look fat. He has a big living person to support. For the rest of his life. This made him hide away from the beautiful little maid at home and never do anything casual, so as to avoid endless troubles.
"My dear, I will definitely let you meet Queen Victoria in the future and return home in fine clothes." Li Guolou boasted and assured that the people in the family need to be taken care of. A few coaxing words immediately made Xie Liya happy, and she was like a little bird. Holding his shoulders.
Pedestrians on the road must pay attention to them and the French, who are quite gentlemanly, even take off their hats to salute them.
"Mike, well done, you deserve to be the boxing champion of the Qing Dynasty."
Li Guolou nodded in return. Foreigners are still polite. After losing francs in gambling, they immediately recognized the situation and became friendly to him. The people in Tianjin did not have this awareness. They still rolled their eyes and said dirty words to him. Hey, don't spit out your saliva. It's so disgusting. .No, if you are caught by the Chinese policeman behind you, you will be fined! You deserve it.
"Xiaolou, the foreigners call you the Boxing Champion of the Qing Dynasty. Now you are in danger. They have bad intentions and want to make you Qing people fight in a nest."
The ground was full of potholes and the roads were in disrepair. Li Guolou also jumped over the small puddles and said with a smile: "Xie Liya, you know a lot about things in the martial arts world. Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Go and talk to him." It’s a duel between people who come to the door. I still understand the principle of killing one thousand enemies and losing eight hundred. I won’t accept the hero post if you get injured all over."
"Scoff!" Xie Liya didn't believe it. Li Guolou's aggressive temper had not changed. He had just won the title of "Boxing Champion of the Qing Dynasty". How could he act with his tail between his legs and bring humiliation to himself.
"Really, I swear, Xie Liya, please believe me. I am going to be a father soon. How could you be so impulsive?" Li Guolou assured, patting his chest, and the two of them walked into a shop one after another, which sold various products. style leather bags and perfume, as well as various candles and scented flower petals.
Li Guolou smelled a pungent smell, touched his nose, shook his head and said: "Xie Liya, I'll wait for you at the door."
Xie Liya clapped her hands and was happy that she finally found a store selling this French brand. She liked the cannon on the brand and the name was also nice, Napoleon brand leather bag. After asking about the price, it was not expensive at all for her. Look left and right It all looks good. Anyway, there are many women in the house. If she uses it a few times, if she doesn’t like it, she can give it to the money-hungry Chu Xiangyu or Bai Lian. This is how she does shopping. She takes a bag off the shelf, plays with it a few times, and says , "Okay! Wrap it up!" Lin Linzong bought more than thirty bags of various sizes, and also asked Li Guolou to change a wallet, saying that the new wallet was a gift from her and was of commemorative value.
Li Guolou had no choice but to change his wallet. Xie Liya took the old wallet and said, "I will keep this old wallet for you. Don't think about it."
Li Guolou nodded in acknowledgment of the fact. If the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come. Let's compete for favors in the harem. When he saw Xie Liya selling various candles and several packages of flower petals, Li Guolou remained silent. This was a matter of affection between men and women. , candlelight dinner, flower petal bath, he likes all these. Hey! I still want to strive for self-improvement in the morning, and I haven’t eaten lunch yet. My eyes are staring at Shelia’s plump body, which is much plumper than when she was a little girl. She is the same age as a flower. I'm sorry for the foreign girl's sincerity! It's difficult for a hero to be a beauty, and it's rare to indulge...
A store with a small appearance took Xie Liya a whole morning to choose from here and there. Li Guolou stood at the door, walked around, and began to compile beautiful articles in his mind. It was helpful to open the book. Since he studied seriously, his cultural accomplishment He has improved several levels and can write articles in one go. He is now thinking about the secret message written to Emperor Tongzhi. During his trip to Tianjin, he lived up to the emperor's mission and successfully completed the task. He purchased valuable foreign goods for the emperor and even won gambling funds. 60,000 taels of silver... Where is the local vacancy? Who should I give the official hat I bought?
The name of Tan Zongjun, who is second on the list, is ranked first. It is time to find a good job on the salt road for his in-law Tan Zongjun and let him go as soon as possible to avoid Tan Zongjun complaining about eating up all his capital.
"Xiaolou!" A voice full of resentment came from beside Li Guolou, and Xie Yunfang, dressed in plain clothes, came to his side at some point.
Li Guolou trembled and trembled: "Oh! Madam Xie, what a coincidence. We met here. Why did you come to the French Concession?"
There is no airtight wall in the world. The past relationship between him and Xie Yunfang was still known to the harem. The nine grandmothers were quite dissatisfied with Xie Yunfang. They thought that she was a loser and a person who was unjust for profit and did not agree with Li Guolou's marriage next year. She passed. Li Guolou is now treating Xie Yunfang coldly, maybe Xie Yunfang has found a new direction?
"Hmph!" Xie Yunfang rolled her eyes at Li Guolou, immediately greeted him with a smile on her face, licked her face and said: "Xie Liya, we meet again, can I help you?" As she spoke, Xie Yunfang was like a maid, but also like a biological sister. Help Xie Liya.
What a flexible and flexible woman! Li Guolou couldn't help but marvel at Xie Yunfang's thick-skinned character, who ignored her status to please Xie Liya.
Li Guolou couldn't resist his impulse, walked into the shop, and shouted hurriedly: "Mrs. Xie, what are you doing here? There are reporters waiting outside."
"Hmph! Xiaolou, don't think about dumping me. My life is miserable. Whoa, whoa, whoosh!" In front of the public, Xie Yunfang twitched her thin shoulders and shed tears. Her performance skills were no worse than those of an actor.
Li Guolou lovingly took out the handkerchief, handed it to Xie Yunfang, and said in a low voice: "Xiaoyun, you are too impatient. I will come to you next year to propose marriage. Isn't it time to avoid suspicion now?"
"Yeah!" Xie Yunfang flicked Li Guolou's hand, stared at her with deep eyes, and said angrily: "Then you can't ignore me."
Li Guolou said anxiously: "I know Xiaoyun, please leave quickly. The Chinese patrolmen are watching outside, and they are just asking for information. If you don't leave, I will die in the French Concession."
Xie Liya was in a good mood and said meaningfully: "Xiaoyun, come to Victoria Apartment for western food in the evening, and I will cook it myself."
"Hey, Fourth Grandma is better!" Xie Yunfang's smile returned to her face, the corners of her mouth turned up, and she blinked her left eye, understanding.
Li Guolou glanced at the naked Xie Yunfang and swallowed his saliva. There is a proverb in the West: Impulse is the devil! The fluttering heart in his heart began to stir again. He added thiefly: "Xiaoyun, it's time to say it." Looking for horse cake in room 405."
Xie Yunfang twisted her waist and walked away charmingly, making Li Guolou reluctant to look away.
"Hey, Xiaolou, you are too busy, what will you do in the future?" Xie Liya tugged on Li Guolou's shirt to ask him to keep his appearance outside.
Li Guolou pinched Xie Liya's plump buttocks lustfully and whispered: "My dear, you are the only ones who are old. Don't worry, I won't raise Yangzhou skinny horses."
Xie Liya's heart was already filled with flames, and she said softly: "Xiaolou, let's go have dinner and go back early."
The shop owner nodded and bowed: "Mr. Mike, Mrs. Shelia, I will personally deliver the things to your house."
Li Guolou wrote an address on the walled road of the British Concession with a pen and handed it to the shop owner, asking him to deliver a lot of items there. Xie Liya took five large candles and two packages of flower petals and put them in a new leather bag. The meaning is self-explanatory.
On the way, Li Guolou teased: "Xie Liya, you have become bad."
"Humph! I'm not giving you an advantage." Xie Liya's blue eyes were burning with strong love.
The two couldn't help but kiss. They didn't worry about being seen by others. They didn't expect that the British Sun photographer hiding in the corner took the photo. With a "click", the kiss between Li Guolou and Xie Liya became a classic in history.
Xie Liya's bent waist, Li Guolou's affectionate kiss, these beautiful moments will be remembered in the long river of history.
