Under the oil lamp on the wall of the cloister, Li Guolou opened the invitation card, and was startled when he saw it, which was the invitation to invite him to dinner during the Spring Festival, it was a charcoal drawing, and the little girl on the painting was smiling sweetly at him, and there was a line of words next to it. Li Guolou didn't dare to look at it, and hurriedly closed the sketch paper, his little heart fluttering.

Li Guolou went to tell the three ladies to leave, don't listen to the opera. Xie Xiuzhu refused to leave, she has musical cells, although she can't understand what the fat woman is singing? But the touching and high-pitched melody moved Xie Xiuzhu for the tragedy of the Lady of the Camellias.

Chen Xiangfang knew the next result and said, "Second grandma, call me when it's over, and I'll sleep in the private room for a while." After speaking, Chen Xiangfang didn't say hello to Li Guolou, and walked away wearing a pair of slippers.

Li Guolou hurriedly leaned down and asked, "Yelia, how much time is left for this opera?" ”

Yelia whispered, "Mike, sit down and enjoy, this is a real opera singer, our proud Madame Vitas of France." There are also the last two scenes, which are very touching and you should enjoy them quietly. ”

Yelia no longer paid attention to Li Guolou, and watched with Xie Xiuzhu with a telescope, and attached it to Xie Xiuzhu's ear, telling Xie Xiuzhu about the subtle places, and the two had a common hobby, and couldn't help but become intimate. As soon as the opera of the Lady of the Camellias is played, two girlfriends are produced.

There is no problem for Li Guolou to pretend to be a gentleman, and after more than an hour of torment, he should be practicing on the playground of the criminal department, and no one can see Li Guolou's hatred of Western opera in his heart. He was the first to clap when it was time to clap, and when it was time to wipe away his tears, Li Guolou handed the handkerchief to Xie Xiuzhu. If you want to get your girlfriend's heart, you have to cultivate the same hobbies as your girlfriend.

Li Guolou's perfect performance made Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu very satisfied, and at the end, they also discussed with Li Guolou whether the tragedy of the Camellia de la Camellia Marguerite should have happened? Li Guolou's insight is unique, such a good girl didn't meet him, otherwise she wouldn't have accompanied her beloved woman to watch the play like now. He is not bound by family social ethics and morality, and dares to love and dare to be the three ladies who care for their beloved for a lifetime.

Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu were extremely satisfied with Li Guolou's answer, restoring their true colors as a celebrity, walking around Li Guolou, hooking Li Guolou's arm, and letting Li Guolou stand tall and enjoy the jealous eyes of the people around him like an emperor.

Li Guolou woke up Chen Xiangfang in the private room, and the four of them had some trouble walking. The eldest grandmother Li Chen Xiangfang should walk on the right side of Li Guolou, and the other side is not easy to settle. It is not a good thing for Yelia and Xie Xiuzhu to be alone, Li Guolou can only let the two ladies who have become best friends walk behind, and it will be so decided in the future, the etiquette law must still be observed, otherwise how can it show the superiority of the Qing Empire system.

Yelia Wood hired two carriages, and she had two personal employees, one a butler and maid, Sherry Jones, and the other a cook, Edward Jones. Yelia Wood's salute was so much that there was no room for a seat in the carriage, and there was a trunk tied to the roof of the carriage.

Yelia could only sit in the carriage that Li Guolou was riding, and Chen Xiangfang had a good attitude to let Yelia and Li Guolou sit together, with a graceful and generous attitude, without jealousy. Then Chen Xiangfang began to talk about her gastronomic dreams, she was very interested in French food, and wanted to ask Yelia's chef Edward Jones to teach her French cuisine.

Yelia said coquettishly: "Then it's up to Mike, he has to use his skills to charm me, otherwise I probably won't go back to Jingshi." Grandma, are you right? ”

Chen Xiangfang sneered and said: "Yelia, you posted it like this, you refused to let go of Xiaolou even for a day, and took the initiative to join our three-person world, you won't dislike Xiaolou so quickly, in the future······ Like if I learned French cuisine, would I have Chef Edward teach it again? Someday we're going to break up. ”

Xie Xiufang refuted: "Grandma, your analogy is incorrect, the relationship between you and Edward is a master-apprentice relationship, of course you have to break up." The relationship between Xiaolou and Madame Yelia is a bit complicated and has no legal effect, unless Madame Yelia renounces her French nationality, so Xiaolou and Madame Yelia can be separated and reunited several times. Lady Yelia will come and go, go and come and go, and none of us can guess how many times they will break up? ”

Yelia asked rhetorically, "Mike, did you think I would leave?" ”

Li Guolou said: "As a detective, I will tell the truth, and I will say no for myself." ”

"Now I'll say no, and you can still swear, but the vows of our French marriage contract can also be broken, so it's useless to swear." Let's look at the future, Mike will take a lot of effort if you want to cheat me out of my money. ”

Li Guolou ignored Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu's snickering, and confessed: "Dear Yelia, why am I going to cheat you out of your money, what I want is your heart." ”

Yelia smiled slightly as if she had figured it out, and said, "Mike is so late today, and he has to move his luggage to pack his room, so don't leave tomorrow, where do you put that heart at night?" ”

"This ······" Li Guolou couldn't answer, looked at Chen Xiangfang and Xie Xiuzhu, and then hugged Yelia in front of them and began to kiss her.

"I'll change seats later!" Chen Xiangfang raised her voice.

"There's still an hour to get home, you take your time, I'm not in a hurry!" Xie Xiuzhu put her hand on Li Guolou's lap.

There is a row of lanterns hanging under the plaque of the Wei Mansion in Dengcao Hutong, the master did not go home, and the servants did not sleep. The three carriages only came back in the middle of the night, and the people in the house were busy driving, carrying luggage and boiling water to clean the room. Originally, Li Guolou arranged a room for his brothers and sisters to live, and now someone is not in a hurry to come to live a few days early. It's just that there is a carriage with a long bag, and there are two horses to take care of, this temporary situation is unexpected, so Li Guolou tried his best, fortunately, he will not leave tomorrow, and the affairs of the house can be solved by the chief manager Wei Xiaoliu.

Looking at Wei Xiaoliu's excited expression, Li Guolou said: "Little Liuzi, let's talk about it when we are busy, the second grandmother is also tired, I will call you later." ”

Li Guolou expected that his decision at noon was correct, there is a cause and effect, and a priceless treasure suddenly descended on Zhenbaoxuan, and someone made a ghost idea.

Xie Xiuzhu introduced Yelia and the other three in front of all the people in the house, who were the family members in the future, and Liu Mingcheng, another coachman, knew each other. Yelia's salute was sent into the inner house, and the room was placed on the west side of the second floor and Li Guolou was exactly two heads, so that what Li Guolou and Yelia did, Xie Xiuzhu and Chen Xiangfang could find out early.

There were thirty-one boxes that Yelia was carrying, and Yelia counted them one by one carefully, so that Li Guolou could see her meticulousness. Li Guolou didn't care about carrying the boxes upstairs and downstairs, put the boxes in Yelia's room one by one, and there was nothing for him to do when the boxes were placed, and it was a tedious task for women to take care of their clothes.

Li Guolou and Xie Xiuzhu went to the outer house to see Wei Xiaoliu to interrogate about the matter of Zhenbaoxuan during the day, and the matter was really as Li Guolou expected, the thief was worried about Zhenbaoxuan, and the hole in the ground had been dug. The thieves saw more than 20 arresters coming, looked around the holes, checked the household registration, interrogated the surrounding residents, and before they could find the shop rented by the thieves, all the thieves fled.

Li Guolou asked, "Little Liuzi, is that hole blocked?" ”

Wei Xiaoliu said with a smile: "Godfather, I haven't talked about the hole yet, the thieves are very greedy, and the digging project is huge, not to mention our shop, but also dug the hole into the two shops next to it." If it weren't for your foresight, our neighbors would have suffered. Ai Bald saw the two holes and directly asked our neighbors to come and see that the two families were extorted four silver ingots by Ai Hai. I'm embarrassed, and I also gave two silver ingots on behalf of my godfather, I can't let the neighbors gossip, it's also good for our business reputation, godfather, I didn't do anything wrong. ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Little Liuzi, you are in charge, this right is your responsibility, and you will bear the wrong or not, don't ask me in the future." My second grandmother and I believe that you can take care of this house. ”

Wei Xiaoliu scratched his scalp, smiled, and said, "Godfather, people are also making fun of me all day long, saying that I found a little daughter-in-law, saying that I am my girlfriend's father." ”

Li Guolou replied: "The difference between men and women is ten years old, it's nothing, I'll ······ Ahh Li Guolou stuck his throat and stopped talking.

Xie Xiuzhu glanced at Li Guolou and had a strange idea in her heart, could it be that her age was heard by Li Guolou? Not right either! She was not ten years older than Li Guolou, and immediately understood that Mrs. Yelia was ten years older than Li Guolou. patted Li Guolou on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I fell in love with you and invited you into the house, otherwise the creditors would have gathered here for the Chinese New Year this year, and I only had one day to cry late." Hum! Zheng Cripple still wanted to do this, Xiao Lou put Zheng Cripple in prison this morning, making his other leg lame. ”

Li Guolou asked, "Little Liuzi, did Zheng Cripple do business with your Zhenbaoxuan in the past?" ”

Wei Xiaoliu said: "Cripple Zheng only came to Jingshi at the beginning of this year to do business with our Zhenbaoxuan, and sold some jade materials to our shop. This trip was all about friends introduced by friends, saying that they had returned from Siam, and Master Wei had also done business with him. ”

Li Guolou nodded, paced in the living room, and said: "Second grandma, when you give Zheng Cripple a silver ticket tomorrow, I will meet Zheng Cripple, it is not possible to arrest people now, there is no evidence, people are doing business with you above board." But the appetite of these thieves is growing, and one day I'll wipe them out. ”

Wei Xiaoliu asked: "Godfather, why is Zheng Cripple willing to do such a conscientious thing if he doesn't do a good jade business, is Zheng Cripple a member of the theft gang?" ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Little Liuzi, can't you see how the leg of a cripple like Zheng is lame?" Theft, from planning and implementation to final success, each step takes a lot of brains, and if you succeed, it is very fulfilling. Zheng Cripple is this mastermind, he has an addiction to theft, just like smoking Fushou ointment, he can't extricate himself, he will be a giant thief when he has money, specializing in big cases, and one day I will catch him. ”

In the end, Li Guolou put gold on his face, and now he can only talk about the situation in the rivers and lakes, even if people deduct feces and urine on his head.

On the bluestone path, Li Guolou led Xie Xiuzhu back to the courtyard of the inner house, and Xie Xiuzhu said coquettishly: "Xiaolou, I am also addicted to you." ”

Li Guolou sighed: "Not today, it's going to be bright in a few hours, let's enjoy it at night." ”

Xie Xiuzhu quibbled: "Xiaolou, I originally said tonight, why are you like this, ignore you." After speaking, Xie Xiuzhu shook off Li Guolou's hand and walked to the front by herself.

Li Guolou took a few steps forward, hugged Xie Xiuzhu in his arms, and said in a low voice: "Second grandma, I am the most addicted to you, and your ability is the greatest." ”

Xie Xiuzhu said coquettishly: "Do you want me to show you the work at the bottom of the box?" ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "Second grandmother, as long as you don't get a little husband out, I can accept anything." ”

Xie Xiuzhu slapped Li Guolou's chest and said angrily: "Xiaolou, you are so bad!" ”

The two flirted without suspicion and walked into the inner house.
