Chapter 140: The robbery of the Ma Kee car dealership
The maids saw a kind and warm scene, and Li Guolou's family living together was happy and enjoying family life. Zheng Lingling felt that the two little mothers loved her, and she was the most favored person in the family. The daughter is not a danger to a big family, the daughter is the water spilled by the person who marries, no matter how much the parents are favored, the daughter is always a foreign surname, and the family has no inheritance rights. So no matter whether the second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu has children in the future, her love for Zheng Lingling is true. The inequality between men and women in feudal society can be seen from the distribution of property benefits, and now Li Guolou is young and strong, and his family is harmonious. But as long as the system of three wives and four concubines exists, the big family will inevitably have intrigues, deceit, brothers, and scandals in bed.
Wan Niang took Zheng Lingling out of the living room, the atmosphere of the room changed, and she didn't forget to negotiate, the distribution of benefits was in this hand-to-hand fight, Li Guolou became the meat on the scale, and let the three grandmothers divide it.
Finally, Chen Xiangfang said coquettishly: "Zhu Bajie, let's go!" Go into the Pansi Cave with the Spider Spirit to see how capable you are? โ
Li Guolou was shocked and said, "Ah! There are too many people, how can this be done? โ
Xie Xiuzhu sighed and said: "Xiaolou, today may be the last time our two grandmothers will see Yelia, we always want her to see the exotic customs, don't you still want to see my work at the bottom of the box?" It's going to keep you up all night. โ
Li Guolou tiptoed upstairs behind the buttocks of the three grandmothers, looking at the three graceful figures in front of him, Li Guolou thought secretly: It is worth dying three years early, just fight for one nightยทยทยทยทยทยท
Li Guolou and Yelia did not get up early in the morning, there were more than 200 miles from Jingshi to Tianjin, and if the carriage traveled quickly, it would be possible to reach Tianjin in more than ten hours, but the city gate had long been closed, and they could not enter the city. So Li Guolou and Yelia wanted to spend the night at the post station on the way, and the four of them were still in bed for a while in the morning, and Li Guolou was the first to be kicked out of bed by the three grandmothers.
For the first time, Li Guolou and Yelia went out from the main gate openly, followed by a French couple. The neighbors in Dengcao Hutong stopped to watch, they had long heard about the adultery in the Wei Mansion, and this time they were finally caught by the people.
Silence is golden, Li Guolou didn't say a word, took off his hat to greet the neighbors, and did not answer the questions, Li Guolou and Yelia greeted the seven aunts and eight mothers-in-law in English and French. This time it was Xie Xiuzhu and Chen Xiangfang's turn to slip away from the back door with Zheng Lingling, and the people in the Wei Mansion were full of sneaky atmosphere, and the people here did not have a good relationship with their neighbors.
The carriage headed east out of the city from the Mingyang Gate, galloping on the wide straight, the sky was gray and drizzling. The four people in the carriage were all dozing off, and everything should have recovered in the morning, but Yelia in Li Guolou's arms slept soundly.
At noon, the carriage was transferred to the Ma Ji car dealership, and the coachman Liu Mingcheng went to the car shop to change horses. That's the benefit of renting a car, although it doesn't seem like the cost of spending much cheaper than keeping a horse at home? But without the sequelae, even if the horse dies, you won't feel distressed.
Li Guolou and Yelia and two French servants got out of the car to stretch their muscles and went to the adjacent guest lounge to rest and eat their own lunch. The maid Sheri Jones opened the cloth bag and took out the wooden box inside, which contained rice ball dim sum made by Chen Xiangfang herself.
The rice balls are filled with meat floss, sashimi, and sea rice, and there are ginseng and some seaweed inside, and the outside is wrapped in a layer of yellow paper specially wrapped for food. Drinking hot tea and eating various rice balls, the four of them muttered in three languages. They didn't go to eat the food in the car dealership, disgusted that the food was not clean, and Chen Xiangfang had already prepared lunch for the four of them in the morning.
Liu Mingcheng, the coachman, didn't have to prepare lunch for him, this was his territory, and Liu Mingcheng had to chat with the other coachmen inside, and the coachmen would talk about their employer's affairs here as gossip and food. Li Guolou's deeds of catching three people spread to more and more places through chatting with coachmen and employers.
Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, are you used to eating?" If you don't get used to it, eat the biscuits, and leave the rice balls for me to eat. โ
Yelia stretched out her hand and snatched the last rice ball in the box, and said coquettishly: "Why, this is grandma's love rice ball, I like to eat it, and the little Japanese food is still quite hygienic, and I dare to eat the things made by my own people." โ
Li Guolou said with a hippie smile: "Yelia, why do you call the rice balls made by the eldest grandmother love rice balls?" โ
Yelia did not have the reserve of a French noblewoman, and said coquettishly: "Fuck your English scoundrel, you are ruthless when you know you." After saying that, he took half of the rice ball in his mouth, and the expression on his face became strange.
Li Guolou saw that the rice ball was gone, so he could only go to get biscuits to eat, the biscuits were quite fragrant, but they were too dry to eat in the mouth, and they had to be drunk with tea to enter the stomach. Li Guolou ate two biscuits and stopped eating, this kind of food can only be eaten as a snack, how can it be used as lunch.
Li Guolou was half-starved and half-full, and didn't dare to tell the truth, and said: "If you have and urine, go quickly, we are going to go." โ
Yelia shouted angrily: "Alexandre Dumas, a great writer, can you speak a little modestly?" After speaking, Yelia glared at Li Guolou and let him know that he had to learn to be a superior person and not take her two servants badly.
Li Guolou stood in the courtyard and waited for Yelia to take care of his personal hygiene, and a carriage drove into the courtyard, and the coachman jumped down to pick up the bridles and prepare to change the horses.
Two dart masters jumped out of the carriage, and saw Li Guolou nodding slightly, they had met with Li Guolou in the martial arts hall in the past, everyone was familiar with each other, and now the dart master did not come to greet Li Guolou in the bodyguard.
Li Guolou couldn't help but be a little interested in the master protected by the dart master, and wanted to see what the merchant looked like?
The merchant in the carriage did not show up, but only heard the merchant's voice say, "Master Duan will bring me a cup of hot tea, and I won't come down." โ
The tall Duan dart master raised his voice and said, "Hey, Mr. Zhang, I'll get it for you." After speaking, when he walked over to Li Guolou, he said: "I'm sorry to fake foreign devils, I can't talk to you about my duties." โ
The rules of the dart board are that when the dart guards are not casually accosted with people that the merchant does not know, otherwise if there is a mistake on the road, the guest will say that the dart master has met with the thief and conspire to rob him of his money.
Li Guolou didn't mind, and said casually: "It's okay Duan Dart Master, I'll leave right away if you're busy." โ
The other, a slightly shorter bodyguard, had not gone far from the carriage and had been bouncing around in the drizzle.
People sit for a long time, they will feel uncomfortable, Li Guolou can't help but admire the Mr. Zhang in the carriage, being able to sit here from the Beijing Division, and still sit still, the iron ass kung fu is really amazing.
The coachman Liu Mingcheng shook the reins of the horse, and the carriage drove out of the Ma Ji car shop, and three healthy horses stepped into the Ma Ji car shop.
Li Guolou looked at three people on horseback from the car window, wearing hats and robes. Why do you have to cover half of your face? With some uneasiness in his heart, he closed the curtain and did he care? Even if there was a robbery in the Ma Kee car dealership, he could stay out of it, and with three noble French friends by his side, how could he put them in danger? Li Guolou couldn't help but touch the short-barreled musket on his waist, took out the gun, and said, "Yelia, there was a robbery in the horse car dealership, what do you think I should care?" โ
Li Guolou is no longer saved, and now he only has Yelia Wood in his eyes, and he listens to her in everything. Love is blind, no matter how far apart the two of them are in status and money, now Li Guolou and Yelia Wood are glued together, and all actions must be commanded by Yelia Wood.
Yelia was frightened and stared at Li Guolou with wide eyes, trying to tell from his expression whether Li Guolou was joking or real? But Li Guolou opened the safety valve of the musket, and Yelia directly ordered: "Edward, open the bag quickly, someone wants to rob us." โ
As he spoke, Edward Jones hurriedly opened the suitcase under his feet, and three short-barreled muskets were scattered inside, all of which fell on the ground of the carriage box, and the three Frenchmen each found their own muskets.
At this time, the recoil of the short-barreled musket was very strong, and it was difficult for women to control the gun, so women held the short-barreled musket with both hands, and it was easy to point the muzzle of the gun at the front when picking up the gun.
Li Guolou's first reaction was to hurriedly say: "Yelia and Xie Rui quickly put the muzzle of the gun down, you two are not allowed to shoot casually, and no one rushes into the carriage and the muzzle of the gun is not raised." With guns like you do, Edward and I will be shot dead by both of you. โ
Yelia and Cherry pointed their guns down nervously, and Suo Suo trembled in fear, afraid that the robbers would rob the property and rob the sex.
Edward Jones, who was in his forties, had a beard on both sides of his cheeks, which was a popular type of beard in Western society at the time, originally a beard trimmed by aristocratic people, and it took time to take care of this weird big beard every day, and people looked a bit like baboons. Chef Edward Jones was originally a lowly Frenchman, but when he came to the Qing Empire, he became a superior person, and he didn't have to be busy with life and had plenty of time, so he trimmed this big beard and pretended to be big.
Edward Jones asked, "Mike, what about the robbers?" โ
Li Guolou said with a smile: "You don't have to be nervous, the robbers didn't pay attention to us, they ran to the Ma Ji car shop to rob the big businessmen." What I want to ask is, do I want to save the businessman surnamed Zhang? โ
"That's it!" Yelia was like a deflated English ball, and he relaxed all of a sudden, feeling a little hesitant in his heart, looking at Li Guolou, reluctant to let Li Guolou take risks.
People who believe in God have a sense of justice, and in hesitation, Elijah said, "Mike is dangerous, do you have to go?" โ
Li Guolou defended: "Yelia is unlucky this time, we won't save it, and next time it's our turn to be unlucky, people won't save us, this is God's test for us, you have to firmly believe that God will bless us." โ
The words immediately drew a nod from Yelia and said approvingly, "Mike, you are the most masculine man I have ever met, although you still lack some masculinity. You go and tell the groom to turn around, and we will go back to the Ma Ji car dealership, Xiao Liu must agree with your idea. But Mike, are you mistaken? โ
Li Guolou glanced at Edward's strange beard in embarrassment, Western women just like to touch furry things, and not growing a beard is a shortcoming, and I can't tell if what he thinks is true? Before he could answer in the affirmative, two gunshots rang out behind him.
Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Xiao Zhang quickly turned the horse's head, Ma Ji had an accident." โ
The carriage is not a person, it is said that you can turn around if you turn around, and there must be enough room to turn, the coachman Liu Mingcheng pulled the reins of the horse, turned his head and said: "Mike, I can't turn around." โ
Li Guolou pushed open the door of the front door and said, "Edward protects his wife, don't get out of the car, I'll go and see first." โ
Li Guolou jumped down from the running carriage, the slippery man on the ground was unstable, Li Guolou directly rolled forward, squatted on the ground and made a starting posture, secretly hated in his heart, he had changed, he had no sense of justice, and he didn't even have the basic principles of being a man. This is not himself, now he wants to find his original self, Li Guolou is running through the misty streets.
The oceanic top hat flew into the mud pool, and was immediately picked up by a passer-by and took off quickly, the ponytail at the back of his head pulled in a straight line. This passer-by was no slower than Li Guolou, but he didn't believe in God, so God immediately punished him and made him fall a dog and eat. The passer-by raised his head, his mouth covered in mud, and half of his front teeth missing.
