Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Poor Fellow Student
Li Guolou said dissatisfied: "I still want to hold your hand and show it to Uncle Li." โ
Chen Xiangfang said lightly and angrily: "Xiaolou, don't talk nonsense on the street, you are now my younger brother." โ
Li Guolou sighed: "I know, do I still want to pick you up the day after tomorrow?" โ
Chen Xiangfang said in a low voice: "Hmm! Xiaolou should dress up a little old-fashioned. I've knitted a towel for you, and you're going to put it on. On the street, Chen Xiangfang boldly put a black wool scarf on Li Guolou's neck, a warm scene
face, let passers-by look sideways. made Li Guolou's face red, and when he smelled the perfume on Chen Xiangfang's body, Li Guolou became confused. The two stopped their progress and began to confide in each other.
Li Guolou blurted out: "Xiaofang, you are so good to me, I will not forget you." โ
Chen Xiangfang said coquettishly: "Me too, you came to my dream first, and God wants you to come into my life." โ
Li Guolou said in a low voice: "You also appeared in a dream, but ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
Chen Xiangfang said angrily: "But what? โ
Li Guolou was dumbfounded, his dreams were now murderous scenes, Wei Wenshao's death, the cow'er sharp knife was stabbed by him, over and over again, Li Guolou couldn't distinguish between reality and dreams.
Chen Xiangfang said hurriedly: "Why don't you speak, you have a good relationship again." โ
Li Guolou was twisted by Chen Xiangfang, frowned, and said: "Xiaofang, don't misunderstand, it's a matter in the yamen, and now I know that I have chosen a path of no return, I'm afraid that I will become a bad person in the future." โ
Chen Xiangfang breathed a long sigh of relief, what's the big deal about this, the people in the government wear official uniforms, and no one cares about doing bad things.
Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, don't think nonsense, being an official in the Qing Empire is like this, if you are not a corrupt official, you can't be promoted, you have to be even up and down, you have to be ruthless, who dares to stand in your way, ask my nephew to kill him." โ
Li Guolou's heart sank, and he heard the voiceover, why does Huang Qiying have the money to open Bao Zhilin? Why did a Southern Barbarian come to Beijing, the ulterior past, the ulterior rules of survival, there are too many ulterior secrets in this world. is good at analyzing, and after sorting out the clues, Li Guolou suddenly became enlightened, this is a cannibalistic world, what he does is only the survival of the fittest, Darwin's theory of evolution, suitable for the real society. Li Guolou no longer feels mixed feelings about what he has done, he should enjoy the joy of success, and also relieve himself of the burden of being reduced to the black element.
For the sake of a position of power and for the sake of justice, he can go on a killing spree. Li Guolou said: "Xiaofang, don't get involved in this kind of thing in the future, I just want to see you laugh happily every day." โ
Chen Xiangfang pursed her mouth, revealing two lovely dimples, and Li Guolou with white eyes, said coquettishly: "I want to be beautiful, but you don't let me see you every day." โ
Li Guolou said helplessly: "I have big rules at home, I'm afraid you won't be able to adapt to it." โ
Chen Xiangfang gritted her teeth and said, "Is there still a big girl in my hometown, I'm embarrassed to take it out?" โ
Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Xiaofang, you have to believe me, there are really no other women." โ
After swearing several times, Chen Xiangfang finally believed that Li Guolou had no woman outside. Thinking that she was so lucky that she could be a wife, she didn't think that Li Guolou would not marry again in the future, she didn't know that Li Guolou's thoughts had been Westernized, and she no longer agreed with the system of three wives and four concubines in the Qing Empire.
People passing by always had to stop to visit them, Li Guolou hurriedly said: "Xiaofang, I will take you to a place where no one is in the future, there are too many people here." โ
Chen Xiangfang twisted and said: "I'm a serious person, you can't come nonsense." โ
Li Guolou hurriedly confessed: "Xiaofang, don't think crooked, I want to take you to the club opened by Westerners, you must look good in Westerners' clothes." โ
"Ahh Chen Xiangfang was startled, and asked her to wear the clothes of a Western ghost woman.
After relieving herself, Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, you can't let the neighbors see me dressed like that, otherwise I will be stoned by children." โ
"Ahh Li Guolou was also taken aback, but he seemed to have been thrown bricks by someone, so it was better to be cautious. The Qing Empire has not yet been civilized, and for the sake of dignity, the Chinese people are still thinking about the glory of the past, unwilling to contact the world, looking down on fake foreign devils, and envious of their wealth and colorful life.
Li Guolou nodded and said: "It's still Xiaofang who is thoughtful and almost hurt you, so I'll hire a carriage so that passers-by won't point fingers and say bad things about you." โ
Chen Xiangfang stomped her foot and said angrily: "Xiaolou, you have to let me wear that kind of obscene clothes, what do you mean." โ
Li Guolou argued: "Xiaofang, if you don't dress like that, the foreigner's club won't let you in, do you want to see it." โ
Chen Xiangfang didn't have to struggle in her heart, blurted out, and said, "I want to!" โ
Li Guolou looked at Chen Xiangfang and said, "That's not enough, let's go!" Let's go see Uncle Li first, he's an old fox, you can lean on Nabazi later, stay away from me. โ
Chen Xiangfang scolded: "Dreaming, I am me, I don't rely on any man, we are now an ordinary passerby, you are A and I are B, A and B happen to walk together." โ
As soon as Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang spoke, they felt that this was a powerful woman, with her own opinions, and she exuded a charming femininity. He likes to stay with smart women, only this kind of woman helps him, he no longer thinks Zheng Lingling is a drag bottle, he is willing to spend his life taking care of these two women, one will be his wife, and the other will be his first daughter. Li Guolou wants to have a showdown with his family, and his wife should be chosen by himself.
Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang were walking on the street, and the two looked ahead, where was the Anhui Fellow Association, and the Bazi was standing under the plaque of the "Anhui Fellow Villagers Association" waiting for them.
Li Guolou was very dissatisfied when he saw the monkey's anxious appearance, pursed his lips, and said angrily: "Why don't you go in and wait for us?" โ
Na Bazi said happily: "Aren't I afraid that you will release my eagle?" Now that you have become a family, you are worthy of me as a matchmaker by throwing me here to blow the northwest wind? โ
Chen Xiangfang took a step forward and said coquettishly: "That bazi, on someone else's territory, give me a serious point." โ
Li Guolou said: "That bazi, you have changed, you have become a high-eyed and low-handed, and you want to ascend to the sky in one step before you can accomplish one thing." I'm going to talk about you later, you can't change the plan casually, and you can't think about what to do next when you have the foundation. โ
That bazi has white eyes and fragrant fragrance, and there is a shadow in his heart. was taught a lesson by Li Guolou, but he didn't dare to refute it, no one agreed with what he was asked to do, and he had no background, exposing his ignorance and fearless weakness. What he didn't expect was that Li Guolou's mouth was actually better than him, a mountain was high and a mountain was high, and the masters hiding around him spread their wings one by one. Na Bazi was a little unwilling, he also wanted to soar into the sky, and wanted to raise Baozhifang to another level, but Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang did not approve, and the first step he took was vetoed.
This kind of building of the fellow townsman hall is the same, the outside is the archway, the first building inside is the teahouse, dozens of people in the noisy scene are singing to themselves, most of them are little old men who stay in Beijing and have nothing to do. Li Guolou's nostrils were facing the sky, he didn't look at the people in the teahouse, he was still a young master in his bones, and he had a superior background than others, and there were few people in the fellow townsman association who made him look up. The two-storey building layout in a circle, the ground floor is a place for ordinary people to stay. As long as there is a letter of recommendation from the fellow townspeople's association, those poor students from Anhui can live in the hometown hall when they come to Beijing.
To put it bluntly, this is equivalent to a cheap hostel, so that local people have a foothold in Beijing. If the funds are insufficient, there will be subsidies from rich and powerful people in Anhui, which is to make up for it. As the saying goes, rely on your parents at home and rely on your friends when you go out. The hometown association is the best example, depending on whether the people in a place have money, it depends on how well the hometown association they built is built?
The construction of a luxurious Anhui hometown hall was funded by wealthy Anhui people. The Anhui Gang has become a powerful force in the Qing Empire, they are ahead of the times, eat the first crab, and become the first batch of commercially successful people.
Passing through the walled building, there is a garden pavilion behind it, and the building in the backyard is where the rich live, and sometimes there are big officials who live here when they enter the capital and face the saint. The industry here is not owned by one person, so Li Guolou does not want to live here, he does not want to take advantage of his fellow villagers.
Originally, it was said that Li Guolou had a treat, but Li Jingluo asked them to come to the hometown meeting for dinner, and there were several Li Guolou's "fellow villagers" in the living room outside the West Flower Hall, and the five people said that they were fellow villagers in Hefei, Anhui, but Li Guolou never met them when he was in Anhui, but came to Beijing and met through Li Jingluo's introduction. Li Guolou has no sense of identity with these five people, and never plays with them, because they are still old-fashioned scholars, and they are dedicated to taking the road of the imperial examination, and they think that as long as they read good books, they can serve the country. It is a person who is read by a bad brain.
Cao Kexing, Zhu Dinghe, Fan Dahui, Wei Hanyu, and Xu Lan are the "poor students" who have been funded by Li Guolou and entered Beijing to take the exam. Are they really poor? Li Guolou doesn't believe in this kind of thing, people who can sing the wind and the moon have the experience of wind and snow, and they can also get the love of Sister Yao, this is the hope of the future in the eyes of the Chinese people. They can scold foreign devils for invading the Qing Empire for the country and the people, and after getting other people's patriotic funding, they immediately go to Fengyue to spend it. can also fight with others in Fengyue Place, these students of Wen and Wu can do it.
But this kind of person must not be offended, this is what someone told Li Guolou, I don't know when one of these people is really lifted, you can eat him for a lifetime. So if you have the ability, you can fund them with a little money to make them feel that you don't look down on them. But you must not talk to them about literature, if they can talk about it, they can talk all night long, this is the literati have friends to talk about.
Li Guolou once talked to them about why he wanted to go abroad to stay abroad, and was severely criticized by the five of them, which made him unforgettable in his heart. Here we must not say that foreign things are good, all good things in foreign countries are first made by Chinese, and the word "plagiarism" is appropriately used on foreigners.
When Li Guolou saw the five patriotic students sitting in the living room, he knew that the family was very dissatisfied with him as an errand boy in the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and wanted to tell him to hurry up and rein in the precipice and return to the right path of scientific research.
