Li Guolou walked on the street, and he didn't need to look at the people on the street to know that the idle people were pointing and talking about him. The wind and sun were beautiful in the morning, which made people feel comfortable, he took off his hat and stroked the newly grown inch hair on his forehead, it was time to shave his head, and the ponytail forehead of the people of the Qing Empire had to be shaved to look good. Li Guolou pays the most attention to image, and it has reached the point of outrageousness, everyone in the world is the rich, spending money on trivial personal appearance, thinking that others will look at him carefully. There is a head shaver Zhou Fugui in the courtyard where he lives, but Li Guolou never asks Zhou to shave his head, and is willing to spend more "Tongzhi brothers" to shave his hair in a regular shaving shop.

It was still early, Li Guolou deliberately took out the gold watch from his arms to see what time it was? A small gesture that makes everyone look sideways on the street.

Wang Fatzi, who was in the shaving shop, was recruiting customers at the door of the store, "Guest officer, shave your head in the morning, the day is refreshing, the business is prosperous, and the wealth is abundant." Little brother, come in and take a look at the haha mirror. Smile and smile for ten years. ”

When Wang Fatzi saw Li Guolou coming, he was overjoyed, this was an old customer, very diligent, and rewarded every time.

Wang Fatzi jumped up to Li Guolou with an arrow step, and said with a smile: "Little Lizi, come so early today." Dog gets you! ”

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and shouted: "Wang Fatzi, don't call me Xiao Lizi first, calling me a fake foreign devil is better than Xiao Lizi, I am not a eunuch in the palace." Second, don't speak this kind of nondescript English, because English is a noble language, not ivory from a dog's mouth. ”

Wang Fatzi smiled and said, "Okay! Fake foreign devil, my brother knows, please inside, a prawn dumpling is here! ”

Li Guolou knew that Wang Fatzi liked to joke, and knew that he didn't think about it, so he deliberately laughed with him in the morning. He didn't have a trace of beard, but shouted: "Wang Fatty, come to the full set and repair it." ”

Li Guolou stepped into the "Wang Ji Shaving Head", and there was a haha mirror at the door, which was a signboard for this store to attract customers, and many customers came here to shave their hair, just to take a picture of this haha mirror. The deformed figure in the mirror makes people laugh when they see it, and the good mood of the day starts here. Wang Fatzi is willing to spend money, creative and handicraft, and most of the neighbors on this street shave their hair here in Wang Fatzi. Only some poor people are greedy for cheap, and the roadside stalls will investigate it, so they shave their heads there in Zhou.

Wang Fatzi glanced at Li Guolou, snickered in his heart, the turtle old hat, he wanted to grow a beard and wanted to go crazy. The store kills customers, and they like this kind of people to come more.

Wang Fatzi shouted: "Little second son, have a cup of Biluochun." ”

When the apprentice Xiao Erzi heard the words of his master Wang Fatzi, he immediately understood that there was a word "Shang", which meant that the guests who came were high-class people, and the tea could not be sloppy, and the first-class tea was served. This store does business, all of them have hidden mysteries, insiders talk about customers, there are terms, laymen are immersive, and they don't know the secrets inside.

Li Guolou took a sip of tea, leaned back on the leather chair where the barber was raised, and said perfunctorily, "Well, the tea is good, it was picked this year." ”

He closed his eyes and recuperated, no longer opening his eyes, as if an old monk had settled down, the pace of life in the Qing Empire was slow and procrastinating, and the errand in the yamen even moved his ass when he saw money. Through a year of hard work, Li Guolou has integrated into this lifestyle.

"Fake foreign devil, fake foreign devil, where did you die, hurry up and die for me!"

There were two voices on the street, one was rough, the other was shrill and thin, and the two voices were long and short, and they kept shouting, making the chickens and dogs jump on the street, and no one dared to provoke the two masters.

Li Guolou, who closed his eyes and recuperated, opened his eyes angrily and shouted, "Little second son, don't you know how to do things?" Hurry up and invite the two uncles in. ”

The two young men brought in by Xiao Erzi were the two best friends Li Guolou had made in Beijing.

Wang Xiaocui, 20 years old, six feet tall, broad shoulders and round waist, already bearded, with phoenix eyes, lion's nose and tiger mouth, was born with a fierce appearance. He is a disciple of the Beihai Martial Arts Hall, ranking fifth, and the people in the rivers and lakes are called "the fifth king of the big sword". He and Li Guolou don't know each other, and once turned his face on the spot because of a quarrel.

What is it? It was because of the dress of the fake foreign ghost that Wang Xiaocui was very unhappy and deliberately looked for Li Guolou. When the figures on the street were staggered, he deliberately slammed into Li Guolou.

Li Guolou was caught off guard and fell to the ground, he has had a chivalrous spirit in his chest since he was a child, and his temper was originally very impulsive, otherwise he would not have been persuaded to retire from Cambridge University in the UK and finished his studies. Li Guolou likes to make trouble the most, so he is willing to bow his head and admit it. The real knife and the real gun were real, and they started working on the street, and the two of them fought each other, and they were equal, and no one took advantage of it, but they all hung up the color. Unexpectedly, he turned around and ran to the same bone-setting master to treat his injuries.

Li Guolou, Wang Xiaocui, you look at me, I look at you, I can't help laughing together, this is not to fight, not to know each other. Once born and twice cooked, people who can learn art in the martial arts hall have some money at home, this is called poor literature and rich martial arts, Wang Xiaocui has nothing to do, and likes to cause trouble. Both of them are idle people, they both like martial arts, and they have their own strengths, so they play together.

That Caijin, one year older than Wang Xiaocui, has a thin figure, thief eyebrows, rat eyes, more than five feet, and is dressed brightly. It is a Manchu Zhenghongqi person, that is, a first-class person of the Qing Empire. The family once produced a "Baturu", who was the first-class guard of Emperor Kangxi. Of course, the exit of "Nabazi" is, "When I was my ancestors······" Now? Even Manchu is not good at speaking, only authentic Jingshi dialect.

Wang Wu's father was originally the clothed slave of Nabazi's father, and now Wang Wu's business is booming, and Nabazi relies on Wang Wu's friend, and the Manchurian people like to make friends the most, (that is, they like to take bribes, and the chief officials of the yamen are all full of people, but they don't do anything in name and collect money.) The Han Chinese, for the sake of their own status, also joined the Manchus (i.e., the Eight Banners). But now it is not as good as in the past, the Manchus have declined, and even the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has to fight the Hunan army and the Huai army, these Han people came forward to attack, and the Manchu people's Eight Banners "Green Battalion" are all wasted, and the "Green Battalion" has been almost wiped out by the Taiping Army, and now it is the third "Green Battalion". Now the local garrison is also dominated by Han Chinese, and the status of the Han people in the Qing Empire is different, and the two provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are controlled by the Han people.

Although Nabazi no longer has an official position, he can speak well, he is very familiar with the Yamen of the Six Mansions, especially the Internal Affairs Office, and he also helps the Wang family sell the business of the five Wang families to the Internal Affairs Mansion. There is a group of people in Beijing, who run errands for others, make benefits everywhere, and control the personal relationship in their hands. The Han people are not able to get involved, and the Manchus are the most united race.

Li Guolou's errand is to rely on that bazi to set up a line, and that bazi has received countless money from Li Guolou, of course, he said that he has enough buddies, and only accepts one percent, and all the rest is used in officialdom. The real situation is only known to Nabazi.

Li Guolou believes that there is also a reason for Na Bazi, it costs money to see an official in the Qing Empire, and the price is clearly marked, and every time Li Guolou sees an official, he is matched by Na Bazi. Some errands fail, who is doing tricks in them? Li Guolou knows it well, but he doesn't believe in evil, and he still has to rely on himself to break into the Yamen of the Six Mansions.

Man! Eat, drink, talk, laugh, and be together all day long, and you will become good friends. Wang Wu, that bazi stepped into Wang Ji's head shaving line with a vigorous attitude, they had something important to look for Li Guolou, and saw that Li Guolou was still closing his eyes and trimming his face, his face and forehead were full of white foam, and he was still enjoying it.

Wang Wu was anxious and shouted: "Fake foreign devils, hurry up." There is a big event today, you come with me. He added: "Don't pretend to be fatty, I know you can shave it in one round, don't waste time." ”

The three of them have no proper occupations, they are all looking for trouble, and they are either drinking and talking big together, or practicing martial arts together, looking for someone to find fault with.

Wang Fatzi really sped up, the razor in his hand was moving rapidly, and he smiled: "Wang Wu spoke, how dare my brother not listen, I don't have the Qing Gang here to find fault, and I don't rely on the masters of the Beihai Martial Arts Hall to cover me." Brother, I promise to get the fake foreign devil in one round. ”

Li Guolou is also about to become a chronic child, he has long lost his impulse and enthusiasm, still closed his eyes, and said: "Wang Wu, what is the hurry? The emperor is not in a hurry to eunuchs, the sky has not yet fallen. ”

Wang Wu also sat on a shaved chair and said with a smile: "Fake foreign devils, something really happened, our Beihai Martial Arts Pavilion, and another martial arts hall was opened on the street next to it, and it is also a bone-setting hall, called 'Bao Zhilin', which was opened by a martial artist in Foshan in the south, doesn't this give us face in the Beihai Martial Arts Pavilion?" The field came to our doorstep and robbed us of the Beihai Martial Arts Gym business. My master was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he was afraid that our Beihai Martial Arts Pavilion would come forward to challenge the surnamed Huang, in case we lost, our Beihai Martial Arts Pavilion brand would be taken off in the future. That's why I recommend you to my master, I know your kung fu, it's only a little worse than mine. It's up to you to come out, and if you win, our Beihai Martial Arts Hall will win, and Bao Zhilin will be closed. Lost! Hey hey······ Fake foreign devils, we have nothing to do with the Beihai Martial Arts Hall. ”

Li Guolou heard what was the matter! Looking for someone to make a mistake, drawing a scene, he was asked to do it as an outsider, and if he was full, he would do it as a fool.

The fat man shouted, "Master, okay! It's so refreshing, you see, it's bright enough to be a mirror. ”

Li Guolou opened his eyes, pulled off the clothes towel around his neck, looked at Wang Wu and Nabazi next to him from the mirror, and said: "Wang Wu, I said that you are a big man, and you stand in the courtyard early in the morning and run the train with your mouth full, and you don't pay attention to it at all. I'm angry through the window paper, where are you singing? Yes, that's right, just you. Bastard, I'm stupid! Still stay! Finding a master who opened a martial arts gym to fight, isn't this self-defeating? ”

Li Guolou made it clear that he would not go to Baozhilin to make trouble, there was no diamond, and he would not do porcelain work. Let the two big brothers' wishful thinking come to naught, will it be so simple?
