Chapter 127: Win glory for the country and grab foreign girls
Li Guolou is an outlier in the Criminal Department, he is too lazy to change his clothes now, he runs around in a dress, greets several chiefs, he wants to take a few days off to go to Tianjin, and come back to bring some broken beans and marijuana flowers to the chiefs. He called a few henchmen to arrange official business, and left the criminal department. Walking on the street, I saw Spring Festival couplets pasted on every house, and red lanterns were hung up in strings. The child threw the cannon at his feet, and Li Guolou blew up the temple's feet, angrily screaming at the child for not being at his feet.
"Fake foreign devils pick up girls, smash grins without losing them, sell onion sets to tease boring people, and shoot bricks to death and lose their waists." Children clap their hands and make fun of fake foreign devils.
Li Guolou showed the children a grimace to scare the children with patriotic spirit.
Donglai will be crowded with people in the alley, lively and extraordinary, in front of the newly opened shop, the gongs and drums of the lion dance shook the sky. Li Guolou looked up at the plaque "Dongying Foreign Goods Store", and then saw that the lion dancers at the door were different from the Han people, wearing pants and drawing a flower face, and the forehead was the same as that of the Qing people, but the braids were very short, which was even more ugly than the braids of the Qing people. Little Japan also looked at the rich people in the Middle East, and came to be his neighbors. There are hundreds of Japanese people gathered here, and many Japanese businessmen come to cheer. Li Guolou glanced around, there was no one more than 1.7 meters, little Japan is really small.
At this time, Japan was a major textile country, and cloth was the main source of foreign exchange for exports. A variety of flower cloths are neatly arranged in the store, and there are also daily necessities such as matches, sweets, sake, and canned fruits. The packaging is a step higher than that produced by the Chinese, and the price is also very competitive, which is a grade higher than that of the domestic products.
Hundreds of little Japanese people sang "Kimiyo" to the beat, and the white-faced woman who looked like a geisha also came out to show her ability, and there were cheers all around.
Watch their uniform movements, as well as their extraordinary acting talent. Li Guolou left silently, and the opening of the militia in Jingshi was not as good as their organization, and he felt very ashamed. This is still a group of small Japanese businessmen, how united they are a nation, terrible artificiality, terrible forbearance, these characteristics can be reflected in small Japan, these dwarfs are organized together to be a tall and strong nation. Now that Little Japan has begun the Meiji Restoration, when will the Qing Empire think of change? When were the royal nobles of the Qing Empire willing to learn from the emperor of small Japan?
Li Guolou couldn't help but think of the word "revolution" in his heart, if he wanted to be like the French, the aristocracy refused to change, then there would be a big revolution. But isn't the revolution about the emancipation of women? What he did was not to oppress fellow women like the old feudal forces. Originally, he wanted to be monogamous, but now he has to ask two grandmothers at once, is he willing to let his woman find new happiness? There was also a French noblewoman who did not understand the meaning of the French Revolution to entangle with him. Ideals and hidden ambitions are contrary to each other, and he cannot become a revolutionary, that is his life.
Li Guolou's ideals when he was a student were shattered, and people still have to enjoy life in the world, he didn't want to promote the old ideals, abandoned the impulse to return to China, and wanted to find a way to survive in the declining empire. He wants more, thinks very much, and does not be surprised by his own self. The word "forbearance" written in the office is his principle of being a person and having an accident. Endure the greed of the chief, endure the darkness of the world, endure not to speak rebellious words, and endure until he becomes a behemoth.
There are all the shops opened by Chinese people in the Dongying foreign goods store, but the rich people will go to the stores opened by Little Japan to buy things, and the money of the Qing people is earned by Little Japan. Little Japan is still very poor, but if this trend continues, it will become a rich country in the East.
Li Guolou was jealous of the unity of Little Japan, he was surrounded by intrigues, and only by joining friends and clubs could he be united. The old pedant who is dedicated to the public can only talk, and if he wants to develop and start a business, he can only cooperate with ambitious and selfish people. He can unite this kind of people, and his ability to speak well has been recognized by his superiors and brothers. The two grandmothers of the family have been united by him on both sides of the bed, and now where should this French noblewoman who has undergone the baptism of the French Revolution be placed?
Li Guolou walked into Baozhi's room nervously, and a big cat passed between his feet, so frightened that he hugged Xie Xiuzhu.
"Don't mess around, don't you see me writing?" Xie Xiuzhu broke free from Li Guolou's embrace, and she was writing a recipe.
Li Guolou asked, "Where did the cat come from?" Why do you let cats run around? ”
Xie Xiuzhu put down the brush and carefully glanced at Li Guolou, what did the man do when he accompanied the chief to negotiate with foreign guests for two days? A guess is right, there is no second possibility.
"Xiaolou, what have you been doing in the British Hall in the past two days? Be honest. Xie Xiuzhu didn't pick up Li Guolou's stubble.
"My good grandma, I have something to tell you, you go and call the eldest grandmother to the Cuiyun Pavilion upstairs, it is a very important matter, it is related to our future." Li Guolou coaxed and deceived Xie Xiuzhu to run errands for him.
"You are dead, there is a smell of perfume on your body, why are you dressed up so glamorous, be a little princess." Xie Xiuzhu still got to the bottom of it.
Qian Shuiping came over to greet Li Guolou, and they got together to talk about the training of Baozhifang's employees.
Xie Xiuzhu immediately walked to the kitchen, Xie Xiuzhu still didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of outsiders, of course, Xie Xiuzhu regarded herself as Li Guolou's second grandmother, and walked around outside without suspicion, and she had already left the matter of mourning for her deceased husband behind. Just three incense sticks every morning and evening, and the deceased husband Wei Wenshao will understand her good intentions, who called Li Guolou the life-saving benefactor of their family, and the spirit of dedication must be there. After tasting the taste of Li Guolou, he refused to let go, and asked Li Guolou to pay the public grain at night.
Upstairs in the Cuiyun Pavilion, the maid Qiu Ju sent tea, and Li Guolou immediately closed the door. Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "Xiaolou, don't come nonsense, here is the restaurant, I will beat you to death." She thought crookedly, thinking that Li Guolou wanted to do something to the two of them here.
Li Guolou said: "Two good grandmothers, if you want to kill me, let me finish my words, I have done something sorry for you, you forgive me." ”
Li Guolou stood alone and spoke, letting the two grandmothers sit and listen to his confession. Li Guolou can speak well, starting from the case solved two days ago, the tense and suspenseful detection process is vividly spoken from his mouth, just like showing in front of the two grandmothers.
What is Li Guolou going to say next? The two grandmothers have an innate sense, and they are not authentic when they look dressed, and they look different from when they go out to solve the case.
Li Guolou seemed to have a great grievance, and said: "Originally, I was very happy, I solved the case and ate a bowl of ramen rice balls with Captain Howard Eugene and was ready to go home, and my girlfriend gave me two bottles of sake." ”
Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "Xiaolou, you don't even let go of the Japanese dwarf, and your friend's wife can't be bullied, don't you know?" ”
Li Guolou looked at Chen Xiangfang's flushed face, stepped forward and pressed Chen Xiangfang's impulsive figure, and said, "That's not the case, you always have to let me finish speaking, and it's not too late to scold me again." After speaking, Li Guolou kissed the two grandmothers left and right, only to see the two grandmothers wiping their cheeks angrily, and they looked angry, knowing that Li Guolou had done something wrong.
Next, Li Guolou reported the flow of accounts, and the vivid scenes were gone, all of which were forced by the chief. The chief looked for a foreign girl, but he went to gamble and won more than 700 taels of silver.
Xie Xiuzhu said: "Later, I lost again, how much did I lose?" ”
Chen Xiangfang refuted: "Second grandmother, does he look like he is losing money?" If you lose money, he will cheat you out of your money, how can he come to repent. ”
Li Guolou smiled dryly and said: "I have honored the chief, the money they used to make foreign girls was all my chips, how many silver tickets I used to go out, and how much it is now, and I didn't spend a penny." ”
Xie Xiuzhu said: "Then where did the clothes on your body come from?" ”
Li Guolou said: "Second grandma, let me continue first, I will confess, I will not lie to you, I don't believe you can ask Luo Yunxia (Wu Defu's wife) in the future, did I lie to you." ”
Li Guolou told him about his character of being out of the mud and not stained, and he was the only one who did not look for foreign girls and ignored the fact that he was pimping. Then there was the dinner party, where he was all about translation, and then the ball was not so smooth, and the organizational sentences were completely exposed.
Speaking of Yelia Wood waiting for him in his room, he bowed his head and said nothing, bowing to the two grandmothers and apologizing.
Xie Xiuzhu snorted coldly and said: "Xiaolou, you are a chick for this kind of thing, it is normal to make this kind of move, you don't need to tell us in the future, forget it if you have tasted foreign girls, we will not be embarrassed for you." He added: "Sister Xiaofang, don't be angry that your husband didn't have this virtue in the past, men are the same." ”
Men don't return all night, they all do this kind of thing, it's not strange, Xie Xiuzhu doesn't take it seriously.
Li Guolou said embarrassedly: "The next morning, I drove Yelia away, saying that I don't look for women with men, and I don't have extramarital relations, I have wives and children at home, I didn't say that we are not married, I treat the two of you and Lingling as my own family." Unexpectedly, Yelia got dressed and took it off again, she said that she was willing to kick her lover out and live with me, and I relented and agreed. ”
Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "That's because that lady is addicted, isn't it, looking at your current languishing leper dog appearance, I know that you have been hollowed out." ”
Li Guolou hurriedly confessed: "Don't worry, two grandmothers, I will definitely satisfy the two of you tonight." ”
Chen Xiangfang sneered and said, "There is a smell of sheep on my body, don't touch me." ”
Xie Xiuzhu said: "I'm so angry, how can I be in the mood to be good to you." ”
Li Guolou bowed his head and said, "I know it's me who is wrong, but Yelia must meet the two of you and invite you to dinner." There is another thing I didn't say, tomorrow I will accompany Yelia to Tianjin for a few days, and she will exchange the shares for cash. ”
Xie Xiuzhu said: "No, Xiaolou, you made it clear what you did yesterday, and then talked about going to Tianjin, why didn't you dare to say it for no reason." ”
Li Guolou said in a low voice: "It's about the same as our next day, play!" ”
"You die! Say that the sheep stink is the same as us. Chen Xiangfang said angrily.
Li Guolou said: "Xiaofang, don't slander others, make money with kindness." I am 100% committed to you. It's just for face, and there's no emotional investment in her. I robbed the lover of the big businessman Robinson, and the foreign devils envied me to death. This feeling was like winning glory for the country, and the governors were praising me and saying that they would introduce me to Prince Gong. ”
Li Guolou finally raised his eyebrows and returned to his normal appearance, Yushu looked at the two grandmothers in the wind, showing them his majestic figure. Let them see clearly that he is fundamentally different from the hundreds of small Japan in the shops next to him, he dances to win the favor of foreign girls, rob other people's lovers, and win glory for the Qing Empire. And the little Japanese dancing and laughing at the Fang family is that the pants are wet and dancing on both feet.
