Chapter 42 Don't take it for nothing
Li Guolou was in the spring breeze, smiled and made a gesture, let Wei Xiaoliu enter the hospital, and wanted Wei Xiaoliu to enter the room quickly, but he had already driven Qian Shuiping's family out.
Wei Xiaoliu made a move, and two guys stepped into the courtyard with the chariot, and the chariot was covered with a black cloth and couldn't see what was inside.
Wei Xiaoliu's eyebrows turned around, and asked, "Little Lizi, which room is it in?" β
Li Guolou knew that it was a gift, and he had joy and sorrow in his heart, and said with a smile: "Why is Xiao Liuzi so polite." The south main house. β
Wei Xiaoliu was reluctant to enter the south room, but asked, "Who is this?" β
Wu Cuilian hurriedly said: "I am the landlord of the fake foreign devil, call me sister-in-law Wu, a family." β
With the beginning, the people in the courtyard introduced themselves, but let Li Guolou remember the names of several neighbors. It turns out that the neighbors here are all family, and they are all a little related to him.
Originally, Li Guolou was reluctant to let Qian Shuiping enter the house, but Qian Shuiping only used one sentence, and asked Li Guolou to open the door helplessly, who told him that there was not even a pot of hot water in the house, how to entertain guests.
Wei Xiaoliu smiled and took out the gift slip from his sleeve and said: "Little Lizi is not a tribute, we in the Wei Mansion are grateful to you, and we hope to smile when we talk about the table." β
Li Guolou was pretended to be polite and said, "How embarrassing is this, let the second grandmother still think of me at this time." β
Wei Xiaoliu wiped away his tears and sighed: "Thank you Xiao Lizi for saving me from the abyss with a word, the second grandmother is angry and didn't get angry with me, if it weren't for Xiao Lizi's support, I would be squatting in the prison now." You are my godfather, and I will recognize you as my godfather in the future. β
Li Guolou almost lost his breath, he had to recognize three godsons and goddaughters in one morning, and the person in front of him was even bigger than him, which made him not live.
Li Guolou shirked it, but when he saw Wei Xiaoliu kneeling on the ground to serve tea, Li Guolou's retreat was also blocked.
Li Guolou knew in his heart that Wei Xiaoliu regarded him as a gangster brother, since the second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu suddenly promoted Wei Xiaoliu to the position of head of the Wei Mansion, then the contract he forced Xie Xiuzhu to sign to transfer the shares of Zhenbaoxuan, Wei Xiaoliu more or less knew about it. was able to make a lot of money when it was so chaotic yesterday, and in the eyes of the people of Wei Mansion, he was a ruthless black and white all-you-can-eat big brother. Now what the Wei Mansion is most afraid of is being dragged into the bottomless pit of official affairs by the government, as long as the eldest grandmother Wang Yixue is not convicted for a day, the second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu will have trouble sleeping and eating. The people of the Wei Mansion have already inquired about his status in the yamen, and since Xie Xiuzhu has satisfied Li Guolou's extortion, then Li Guolou will also be required to contribute to the next official affairs.
Li Guolou drank this cup of tea in desperation, what he didn't know was that this was his first step out of the gang boss. has the first godson, and the next scene is that the gangster Xiangtang accepts apprentices one by one, and each protΓ©gΓ© and godson will be automatically sent to the door.
Li Guolou still didn't know something, he thought he was just drinking a cup of tea and calling his godfather a few times. Just recognize a godson, and when the official affairs are over, everyone will not get along with each other.
The fact is that Wei Xiaoliu gave a financial gift, as well as a post to worship his godfather, which contained his birthday and an oath of allegiance. Wei Xiaoliu only recognized this godfather all his life, this is the rule of the rivers and lakes.
By the time Li Guolou understood, he had become a gangster brother who accepted disciples. The title of his eldest disciple was occupied by Wei Xiaoliu. Without his psychological preparation, Li Guolou opened the incense hall and established his own prefix.
At this time, Li Guolou was still aware of Mu Jue, and when he saw Wei Xiaoliu standing up, unwilling to sit down, he couldn't help but feel strange, and said casually: "Xiao Liuzi sit, you stand and talk to me, I'm not used to it, why are you so restrained, and you are not nervous when you tell lies." β
Wei Xiaoliu smiled and said, "Hey! Since my godfather asked me to sit, I sat down. Sister-in-law QianΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· No, no, no! I should call you Aunt Qian, please take care of me in the future, my godfather will let you work harder here, this time I am not prepared, I will come to your house to visit you again. β
Qian Shuiping has no rules, and he has never dealt with big families, so what is in the black silk cloth next to him to spy on the chariot? Hearing that Wei Xiaoliu was going to visit her home, she understood what it meant.
Qian Shui smiled and said, "Okay! The eldest nephew often comes, and you are always welcome here. β
Wei Xiaoliu was smiling on his face, but he was scolding this inferior person who didn't know the general situation, if it weren't for Li Guolou's face, who would give a gift to this "aunt". But now is the critical moment, no one can be offended, how much money can it cost to give a gift to an inferior person? Wei Xiaoliu won't save this money.
Li Guolou asked, "Little Sixth Son, have your second grandmothers moved back to the Wei Mansion compound?" β
Wei Xiaoliu said: "Godfather, the old man Wei Wenshao's bones are not cold, the second grandmother will not leave, and she will not go back until after the seventh break, and now the little seventh son is sitting in the compound." Your eldest brother's wealth is a powerful character, he has already hooked up with the palace, he is a self-acquaintance, and he has a relationship with the people in the Internal Affairs Office. Although the palace didn't say much? However, it has been rumored that they will not interfere in this official matter. Even if you have to take care of your godfather in the yamen, I heard that Master Wu is also a ruthless character. β
Li Guolou glanced at Wei Xiaoliu, these second grandmother Xie Xiuzhu's shrimp soldiers and crabs will finally come out, and in the future, Wei Mansion will be the world of these slaves, and it was he who let Wei Xiaoliu go, otherwise Wei Xiaoliu is still in prison and has a lawsuit. Giving kindness to others, left and right is what he has to learn, he wants to show people with a kind side, and the evil in his heart must not be exposed here.
Li Guolou raised his hand to drink tea, took a sip of tea, and said, "Little Liuzi, I am not an officialdom here, this cup of tea can be drunk." Please! β
In the officialdom, when the big official receives the small official, the tea is to send the guests, and the tea for the guests is the decoration. The big official drinks tea is to let the junior official leave immediately, this is the rule in the officialdom of the Qing Empire, Wei Xiaoliu, a servant from a big family, has long known this kind of officialdom rules, and he didn't dare to drink the cup of tea on the desk when he was sitting.
Seeing Wei Xiaoliu drinking tea, Li Guolou said: "Little Liuzi, go back and tell the second grandmother, I have already said hello in the yamen, Master Wu will give you a seven-fold discount, and the case will have a result today, Wang Yixue will first determine the main culprit, and may sentence an accomplice later." Tell the second grandmother not to kill them all, if she is released, drive her back to her parents' house, she is already stinking and can no longer turn the sky. Full travel will be released in the afternoon. But don't be afraid, you don't dare to provoke your Wei Mansion after traveling all over the world. If Man Youli dares to extort a penny from you, I will let him Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Xiao Liuzi, you just tell the second grandmother that if you want to get a good reputation, you will redeem Wang Yixue, and in the future, the drama in the Beijing Division will be the second grandmother's good words. Do you understand everything? β
Wei Xiaoliu was bittersweet, and said with a wry smile: "Godfather, there is nothing else to say, the second grandmother also said that if the Axe Gang seeks revenge, the store will be closed at most, and we will leave Jingshi." It's the last one, I'm afraid that the second grandmother won't agree, and she still wants to eat Wang Yixue's flesh and blood steamed buns. I don't think I can persuade her. β
Li Guolou said: "Little Liuzi, the Wang family also has some money, I'm afraid it will save Wang Yixue, so I think it's better to settle the grievances than to settle them." β
Wei Xiaoliu glanced at it and said, "Godfather, you don't understand this, the water spilled by the married daughter, will the Wang family spend money for making such a person who has lost his conscience?" The Wang family's cemetery will not be left to Wang Yixue, godfather, you are too worried. β
Wei Xiaoliu was actually saying that Li Guolou was nosy with rats, and of course Li Guolou understood. He was still young and soft-hearted, thinking that Wang Yixue was pregnant, he couldn't help but want to save Wang Yixue's two lives. But since there are grievances and hatreds in the world, how can he control them, both good and bad must be endured, and if he can't get benefits, he will be soft-hearted for a while. With bitterness in his heart, Li Guolou was speechless.
When Wei Xiaoliu was leaving, Li Guolou suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said: "Little Liuzi, get me a large porcelain plate of the Northern Song Dynasty with one hundred taels of silver, I want to give it away, I won't take it for nothing, the money will be given to you." β
Wei Xiaoliu readily agreed, but he thought in his heart that even if his godfather wanted to give money, he would have to have a hundred taels of silver for his godson's filial piety, which was not taken for nothing.
Qian Shuiping was talking to herself in the living room looking through the gifts in the chariot, she couldn't understand the gift list, she could only look at the real thing.
Li Guolou sat down and looked at the two posts left by Wei Wenshao, one is a gift list, although the value is not, but Li Guolou is from a large family, it is estimated that if the incense burner and other items in the Ming Dynasty are true, the market value will be five hundred taels of silver. One is the entrance post, which also has Wei Xiaoliu's Nian Geng's birthday, as well as some oaths of gambling and vows.
At this time, Li Guolou somewhat understood the rules of this game, but he had never encountered such a thing, and the doubts in his heart could only ask Na Bazi, thinking that Na Bazi should understand, right?
Li Guolou glanced at it and said, "Sister Qian, don't turn it over, you can take the fruit back to eat, and take a piece of brocade." Other things are very valuable, so don't think about it. β
Qian Shuiping said viciously: "Fake foreign devil, I know that your elbow is turned out, and the little bell is not surnamed Li." You're going to move your good things to her house, I'm your sister. β
Li Guolou said: "Don't be sister-in-law, I haven't drunk tea yet." We are still neighbors now, and we are relatives, Niu Niu, Niu Niu, I recognized my goddaughter and godson. You sister, I don't recognize it, you are not allowed to say that you are my sister outside in the future, and guests are not allowed to say this kind of confused relationship, forget it this time, it will happen again in the future, don't blame me for turning my face. β
Qian Shuiping said angrily: "Turn your face, turn your face, I'll take two pieces of brocade, you have two children, how can one be." You don't have to worry about the fruit, if you can't finish it, someone will eat it. β
Qian Shuiping took two pieces of brocade silk and put them on his waist, strode out of the south room, and closed the door before leaving, no longer letting others step into Li Guolou's room. The person who lives here is her younger brother, a younger brother who is a hundred times better than her own brother, this relationship is stronger than iron, unbreakable, she wants to be the housekeeper of Li Guolou's family.
