In the evening, Li Guolou and Yelia left the British Hall together and ran to the "Steig Dress Shop" opened by a foreigner next to them to buy underwear and underwear. Christmas has passed, the door is still decorated with a Christmas tree at the door, Li Guolou pushed the door of the store, and the bell above his head rang "Ding Bell". Two Western women and two Qing men, all dressed in Western clothes, said in unison, "Welcome." ”

The bearded boss knew Yelia and bowed, "Thank you, Ms. Yelia, for coming to our store." ”

Yelia gracefully took off her sheepskin gloves, handed them to a female clerk, and said insincerely, "Thank you!" ”

Li Guolou took two sets of underwear and ten pairs of wool socks, and bought four shirts with lace under the bewitchment of Yelia, Yelia was not satisfied, and chose five ties, two bow ties, and two pairs of short leather boots for Li Guolou. The pants should be changed to the hem of the pants, Li Guolou is unwilling to bother, and he is unwilling to try on the pants.

Yelia was dissatisfied: "Mike and I are going to wear it brightly, try it on for me now, and I can come and get it tomorrow." After saying that, Li Guolou was white-eyed, how could anyone who ate soft rice push back and obstruct her, and she paid for the money.

Yelia knows that Li Guolou has a small official position and is an errand runner among his friends, so Li Guolou is now raised by her. laughed secretly in her heart, a man ten years younger was willing to marry her, which shows how attractive she is.

Then Li Guolou became a puppet, and was commanded by an old tailor to measure the size of his body, and he didn't even let go of his crotch, and wanted to customize two suits for him. The figure of the person changes slightly every year, and the rich Western man's suit has to be made every year, and he has to choose the fabric, and the picky Yelia gives a variety of choices and vetoes a variety of proposals.

This is the criterion for rich people to spend money, not only to provide the best service, but also to spend time and spend time in the pleasure of shopping. Li Guolou is less than 1.8 meters tall, almost 1.8 meters tall in short leather boots, he is tall in the Qing Dynasty, his face is smooth and there are no acne, his complexion is fair, his eyes are longer than ordinary people, and he looks a bit foreigner. Li Guolou put on a gray coat with braids on top of his head, and a wide-brimmed top hat that looked not much different from Westerners.

Yelia nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it's almost enough to walk next to me like this, and I'm used to seeing more braids." ”

Li Guolou looked at Yelia with a charming smile, it tastes good to ask a woman to spend money on soft rice, and it is rewarding to waste a little physical strength on both people and money.

Li Guolou himself likes to dress up, and he doesn't feel that it is a waste to spend time shopping. But he knew what a difficult task it would be to accompany Yelia to buy women's clothes and cosmetics in the future, he was too picky and very stubborn, and he had to listen to her in everything he bought, and his aesthetic standards should prevail. If you don't listen now, you'll lash out at him, and in the future you promise to give him orders in a commanding tone.

Yelia asked him to order five pairs of leather shoes at one time, Li Guolou was a little dissatisfied, the size of the customized leather shoes is measured now, and the size will be measured again in a few days, isn't it a waste of time? At Yelia's behest, he had to agree if he didn't agree, and come to Steig's dress shop another day to measure the size of his shoes.

Yelia finally chose a Tibetan cashmere gray cardigan and an Indian sari scarf for him, Li Guolou couldn't help but be greatly moved, this is a luxury, it is worth a lot, even he can only look at it and enjoy it, and he dare not waste money on it.

Now Yelia was willing to spend the money for him, and for the first time, he was sincere, and he bit his ear and said, "My dear, I will be good to you, and I will sell you what you need." ”

Yelia waved his hand and slapped Li Guolou, and said coquettishly: "Don't mess around, wait until you have money, you can't afford what I want to buy now." ”

What do rich women want to buy? Diamonds, gemstones, gold watches, and famous paintings, Li Guolou has them at home. He said triumphantly: "Yelia, you will regret it, let me think about it, I will give you an agate necklace first." ”

Yelia glanced at her and said, "Do you have two little widows in the family?" ”

Li Guolou's face was hot, and he bowed his head and said, "My daughter also has one." ”

Yelia sighed, "Well, I'll take it for the first time, and I'll have the two of them in the future." Got it? ”

"Understood!" Li Guolou didn't hesitate at all, he had already found his way out of the way to deal with women, he couldn't follow them too much, and he usually had to lose his temper a little, so that they would coax him too, who called him the youngest. Li Guolou recognized in his heart that he was looking for a rich widow and had the spirit of taking the initiative to dedicate himself, how good it was that there were people who asked for free accommodation and were willing to spend money on him. is still a veteran of the rivers and lakes, training him to be a master in bed.

Li Guolou wrote a note and asked the guy to deliver the things he bought to the room where he lived, without holding a single thing in his hand, and took Yelia out of the "Steig Dress Shop". Behind him, "Thank you for coming, welcome to come back next time." ”

Li Guolou sighed: "Yelia, do you see it?" It's still easy to do business for the rich, and I will only do the business of the rich in the future, and I won't do the business of the poor. ”

Yelia looked up at Li Guolou and said in a coquettish voice, "Then didn't you say that you wanted to be a banker?" Do you want to cheat the poor out of their money? ”

Li Guolou retorted: "My dear, I have a strategic vision, forward-looking, what business can make money, I just do the planning to reach out, really open a bank, I will be a director and a major shareholder, I have no interest in doing business, how boring it is to deal with money every day." My girlfriend with young children was sent off by me to do business, and the other girlfriend was also interested in getting out of the house, and I was wondering what business would be right for her? The Qing Empire was very feudal, and many businesses were not suitable for women. Got it? ”

Yeliah scoffed and said, "I don't want to do business, I want to enjoy life." But as a shareholder of the bank, I would be willing. ”

Li Guolou's face immediately turned blue, and he said hurriedly: "Yelia, don't think nonsense, the banking industry is very feudal and conservative, and there are no women in the West as bank shareholders, and it is even more impossible in the East." ”

Yelia shouted angrily: "How is it impossible, you are a private bank, all the rules are new, you make a rule that women can be shareholders, I must attend the board meeting, and I will also let those stinky men look at my face and act." Thinking of the happy place, Yelia giggled, and became a nymphomaniac, believing herself to be a big banker.

Li Guolou said: "Dear Yelia, I just mentioned my lofty ideals to you, and I didn't mean to cheat you out of money, didn't you say that you would not return the shares of White Shipping Company?" Where can I afford to be a shareholder of a bank? ”

Yelia coquettishly said, "Mike, don't you know the Western proverb that a woman changes three times a day? I now think clearly about not listening to Robinson. Or what you said makes sense, get together with Little White, I will either be poisoned or commit suicide by jumping into the sea, and it is better to lose money now than to go bankrupt. Tomorrow you are too late, the day after tomorrow you accompany me to Tianjin once, don't say that you are not free. ”

Yelia wants to sell the shares of the White Shipping Company, which is the internal shares of the family and cannot be sold to outsiders, if you want to sell to outsiders, you must get the consent of the people in the family, and the business can only be effective with a power of attorney. Otherwise, the sale would have no legal effect, so Little White would buy the shares in Yelia's hands at a low price.

In the West, the banking industry is a century-old brand, very conservative and conservative, controlled by the aristocracy, and the rich cannot set foot in the banking industry. So Yelia couldn't help but be moved when she heard that Li Guolou could do banking business, and wanted to put the money in her hand into the banking industry.

It is now the fifteenth day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and there is still half a month to go before the Spring Festival, and the criminal department is equivalent to a semi-holiday state, and he is not busy with official affairs, but Li Guolou is helpless, and he still has two grandmothers at home. How to explain that it is already very difficult to not return for two days and nights, and then run to Tianjin with Yelia, isn't it looking for death by yourself?

Li Guolou could only honestly say what was in his heart: "Yelia, my two girlfriends are very powerful, and they will know my every move." In the past two days, I have been fooling the elders with me, and I can't hide it from them if I ask for leave on a business trip. The big brother and sister who will provide me with food and clothing are coming soon, and I haven't figured out how to deal with this scene yet, so you can spare me, and I will introduce you to a fake foreign devil, he is a lawyer, and he can make you suffer a little less. ”

Yelia said, "Mike, I don't have to worry about you, lawyer. Since you have such a great ability, eating women's soft rice at home, one is nothing, two is not too much, and three is just like that, you can introduce me to your big brother and sister together. I also want to see if I can adapt to your big family, if not, we will break up, isn't it just right for you? ”

Yelia is very thick-skinned, this kind of celebrity is a courtesan, and she likes to talk about friends with rich people to put it nicely. To put it mildly, it is also a person who sells his flesh for money. She was attracted by Li Guolou's exoticism, coupled with Li Guolou's talent, she couldn't extricate herself at once, in her opinion, living together and getting married are two different things, now she is happy, the more exotic the better, and she can write a book "I am a concubine in the Qing Empire" in the future, which will definitely be popular in the Western cultural circles.

(There are really similar Western memoirs, which have also been remade into films, not the author's nonsense.) ）

Li Guolou was so frightened that he stopped and said, "Yelia, you're kidding." ”

Yelia still took Li Guolou's arm and pulled him to walk, and said coquettishly: "Mike, you are already British in your bones, and the British are the thickest in the world, just like the fog of London, which will never disperse, what are you afraid of?" We'll figure out how to deal with your two girlfriends during the candlelit dinner. ”

Li Guolou had no claim, so he could only walk into the British Hall with Yelia, this time Li Guolou didn't even show his membership card, the doorman had already opened the door with a smile, and respectfully invited the prince of the ball, Li Guolou, and the princess Yelia to enter the gold cave. Li Guolou became famous overnight, and the foreign devils in the entire Beijing division knew that there was such a fake foreign devil who had studied and robbed the mistress of the big businessman Robinson.

Yelia walked to a nearby lounge and called her maid Sheric Jones out, and the two spoke French for a while, and then Sheri bowed to Li Guolou and said, "Hello Mr. Mack, excuse me." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly took off his hat, bowed his head to Xie Rui, and watched Xie Rui Jones leave the British Guild Hall.

Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, what are you talking to Xie Rui?" ”

Yelia smiled and said, "I told Xie Rui and the coachman to go back now and pick me up tomorrow, Mike, you are also interested in Xie Rui?" ”

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm not a big stallion, I know how to be polite, righteous and honest." ”

In the banquet hall, Li Guolou and Yelia sat face each other for dinner, candles were lit on the table, and Yelia announced the name of the dish in French. The diners next to him always patted Li Guolou when they passed by, and greeted them affectionately, "Mike, male Bo kiss!" ”

The meaning is that Li Guolou made a historical precedent and became the first Qing dynasty person to successfully date a dance princess. Everyone looked at Li Guolou with envy, the gentlemen all took Li Guolou's example, the person who robbed other people's mistresses by dancing skills was a successful man, and won the fair and fair, and the gentlemen sincerely wished Li Guolou and Yelia happiness.

There were also celebrities who sat next to Yelia and asked what was going on with Yelia? Don't want Robinson to change boyfriends?

Li Guolou couldn't understand the French they spoke, so he could only smile and nod his head. As for how Yelia answered Li Guolou, he could only rely on speculation, but he believed that Yelia was telling the truth, and he had told his French compatriots what they had done all day.
