Li Guolou and Nabazi broke up in Wang Ji shaving shop, Li Guolou rented a Western-style carriage from Ma Ji Car Company, today he is on vacation, and wants to burn incense and worship Buddha to make vows. I miss Chen Xiangfang in my heart, the Reclining Buddha Temple is obviously in the southeast of Beijing, but he is going to the northeast, and he deceives himself by the way. If Chen Xiangfang is not free, even if she goes to visit Huang Qiying.

An hour later, the carriage came to the shell Lang Hutong, Li Guolou jumped out of the carriage, and before he could stand still, a ragged child, holding a broken bowl, knelt on the ground, and cried: "Uncle, give a reward." ”

Li Guolou glanced at the child, the corners of his mouth twitched, the beggars couldn't afford to offend the children, and he didn't know how many such children he would meet in a day. Some children are accomplices in the theft gang, and he is hit by this kind of child, and then the money bag is stolen, fortunately it is a copper coin bag placed on his waist, if the wallet inside the underwear is stolen, he loses a lot.

Li Guolou, as usual, threw three copper coins, three jingles, the copper coins were still beating on the ground, and the child shouted: "Uncle is auspicious, there are many sons and grandchildren." ”

It was probably the beggar's whisper, and four ragged children surrounded him, and a woman with a baby in her arms ran quickly, panting and crying: "Uncle, I haven't eaten for a day, please!" With a thud, the woman was already kneeling on the ground.

Li Guolou was helpless, and today he was chased by a group of beggars in the shell alley just because he came by carriage. This is the treatment of rich people, fortunately, they were prepared to throw a handful of copper coins again.

These beggars are all fake, people who make a living by begging. Really strangers have no money, and if they go to the national capital, they will starve to death. There is a soup kitchen outside the city, which can allow them to survive the cold winter. Most of these soup kitchens are shops opened by the prince in Beijing, and the people who can still beg in Beijing are all members of the beggar gang, and they have to pay protection fees, and each territory is occupied by people, like the beggars begging in front of the Buddhist temple, whose monthly income is quite rich, much higher than that of ordinary people.

Finally sent away the entanglement of a group of beggars, Li Guolou stepped into the gate of Baozhilin, and Zheng Lingling rushed to him and gave him a big hug.

Zheng Lingling roared urgently: "Did Xiaolou bring it today?" ”

Li Guolou asked, "Lingling, what did you say?" ”

Zheng Lingling said happily: "Xiaolou is the best at deceiving people, what is in the bag?" Is it a music box? ”

Li Guolou smiled and said, "Lingling is smart, is your mother here?" ”

Zheng Lingling got the gift, jumped and jumped, and shouted, "Mom, don't put on makeup, Xiaolou is here." ”

Chen Rou held her big belly, blocked Li Guolou's way, and said loudly: "What about the money to buy the road?" ”

Li Guolou nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes!" Guo Sheng's hand-drawn snuff bottle was given to Master Huang. ”

Chen Rou said happily: "Xiaolou will often come in the future, don't come empty-handed." "Get out of the way, and make a gesture of please.

Huang Qiying was giving people a pulse in the living room, Li Guolou nodded to him, did not disturb him to see the patient, and walked directly to the east room, where Chen Xiangfang and Zheng Lingling lived.

Li Guolou touched his nose at the door, a smell of French perfume came to his face, Chen Xiangfang smeared the perfume, which made Li Guolou very happy, this was his gift to Chen Xiangfang.

Chen Xiangfang glanced at her and said, "Come in, what are you doing at the door." ”

The room was small, with nothing but a dresser, a stool, a wardrobe, and a large bed.

Zheng Lingling dragged the stool and said coquettishly: "Xiaolou sits." ”

Li Guolou was hot and a little out of breath, the room was too small, so many people were crowded inside, and it was even more cramped.

Zheng Lingling lay on the bed, opened the music box, Western music came out, and Li Guolou looked at the two women in front of him.

Chen Xiangfang sat on the edge of the bed and said, "Ah, I forgot to pour you tea, you wait, I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "No, the carriage is still waiting outside." I'm free today, I want to burn incense, I can take Lingling out to play, I don't know if you're free? ”

Zheng Lingling turned her head to face Li Guolou and interjected: "I'm free, my mother is not free, I'll accompany you." ”

Chen Xiangfang replied: "I told Nabazi that I would go to Baozhifang at noon to see the progress of the project." ”

Li Guolou smiled and said, "I met that Bazi yesterday, don't go to Donghou Lane." ”

Chen Xiangfang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, Lingling and I will accompany you to burn incense today." ”

A woman's change of clothes is the slowest thing, Li Guolou watched Huang Qiying treat three neighbors in the living room, and Chen Xiangfang and Zheng Lingling came out.

Li Guolou took a look, both of them were wearing new clothes, their hair was combed again, and Chen Xiangfang had a hairpin on her head. Li Guolou shouted: "Grandma, you are so slow, we are not going to burn incense at the Reclining Buddha Temple, but to eat fasting." ”

Chen Xiangfang twisted her hips and turned her waist, and refuted: "What's the hurry, there's still an afternoon." ”

The dozen or so neighbors who were queuing up to see a doctor finally knew that Chen Xiangfang's appearance was a little white face, and watched their every move with wide eyes, whispering and staring at Li Guolou with mocking eyes.

Li Guolou bowed to them and fled from Bao Zhilin, he no longer cared about what others said, he liked to pursue it openly and honestly.

Walking out of Bao Zhilin, there were still two beggars standing outside the door who had not dispersed, and when they saw Li Guolou coming out, they obeyed the rules and did not stretch out their hands to ask him to beg again.

Li Guolou glanced at the two beggars, took out the fast waist card on his waist, and said, "You don't want to fight here, do you know?" Stay away from here. ”

Li Guolou had already seen that they were a group of thieves, and he took a fancy to the medicinal herbs drying in the courtyard of Bao Zhilin. Thieves will steal everything, some medicinal materials are very valuable and valuable, and there are also thieves among those who see a doctor, and Li Guolou has seen through the work of stepping on it.

A beggar's originally lowered head raised slightly, glanced at Li Guolou's waist card, and said, "Oh, it's someone from the Tianzi Brigade, why did you come here?" Li Zhutou, we will give you face, please give us two more ten big copper coins. After speaking, the hands of the two beggars stretched out to Li Guolou, as if they were donors, and Li Guolou owed them money and should repay them.

The big copper coin is equal to the value of fifteen small copper coins, and the thief gives Li Guolou a face, but because Li Guolou is not the person who governs this area, it is also the rule of the rivers and lakes to let Li Guolou spend money to buy Taiping.

Chen Xiangfang wanted to open his mouth to scold the two beggars, but Li Guolou shook his head and squeezed his eyes, asked Chen Xiangfang not to speak, and paid to send away two thieves who pretended to be beggars.

In the carriage, Li Guolou and Zheng Lingling sat in the carriage, and Zheng Lingling sat in the middle seat.

Li Guolou said: "Xiaofang, don't worry about these small money, it's not worth offending the beggar gang, they won't come in the future." Master Huang's Bao Zhilin is peaceful, and business can be booming. ”

Chen Xiangfang said: "Do open business, anyone will come, Bao Zhilin's business is a little better, I didn't expect the thieves to find the door, don't you say I don't know yet." I thought that if Bao Zhilin's business was good, those beggars would flock to the door to beg. ”

Li Guolou said with a smile: "I also entered the six doors to know the rules inside, there are all kinds of door rules in the Jingshi, you don't know how the gangsters grab the territory." The murders are all in the east of the city, and when they don't stop, spend the money they earn from the building, and you open three Baozhi houses, which is not as much as one of their singers, and there is a singer, Prince Gong Yixun, who spent 10,000 taels of silver to redeem her. ”

Chen Xiangfang said coquettishly: "The small building is downstream, Lingling is here, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zheng Lingling said coquettishly: "I can't understand a word of what you are talking about." ”

Li Guolou stroked Zheng Lingling's head and said with a smile: "It's right if you don't understand, otherwise your mother will scold me to death, I will take you to the theater in the afternoon." ”

Zheng Lingling said in a milky voice: "Xiaolou, I don't want to listen to the play, I want to watch acrobatics." ”

Chen Xiangfang said: "Xiaolou, is it too late?" ”

Li Guolou said: "It's in time, it's on the edge of the Reclining Buddha Temple, and we'll go play after burning incense." ”

Zheng Lingling said coquettishly: "I won't go back until dinner." ”

Li Guolou picked up Zheng Lingling, let her sit on his lap, and said, "Okay! In the future, I will give Lingling a big house to live in, and you don't go back. All right? ”

Zheng Lingling nodded and said, "Okay!" But I want to sleep with my mother, Xiaolou, you sleep alone. ”

Li Guolou was angry and did not answer Zheng Lingling's words, if this is the case, then why would he marry Chen Xiangfang. The small face looked at Chen Xiangfang, the eyebrows of the two were flirtatious, and the love flowed in the eyes.

Li Guolou and Chen Xiangfang's every move, every word and deed Zheng Lingling has written down, and she will report to Chen Rou when she goes back, and her mother is in spring! It's too obscene, and he stretches out his hand to Xiaolou. Also Xiaolou performed well, without too many moves.

After the three of them burned incense in the Reclining Buddha Temple, they had a meal together, and Li Guolou had an extra red head rope around his neck with a piece of jade hanging on it, which Chen Xiangfang tied up for him and used to contain his heart. Come to the overpass, there is the most lively place in Beijing, the people in the rivers and lakes sell their styles, the scene in Beijing is here, there are all kinds of opera performances here, each troupe hangs a signboard at the door, and there is a list of repertoire performed today. People from all over Tiannan can find their favorite shows, and it is also the favorite place for ordinary people to come and play. As for those teahouses, they are overcrowded, and there are all kinds of storytellers in them, and the most talked about is the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Zheng Lingling wandered along the way, most of them were held by Li Guolou, holding a windmill in one hand and a marshmallow in the other, and listened to "Zhao Zilong Changbanpo saves Adou" in a teahouse, and began to look for a new theater that Zheng Lingling was interested in.

Chen Xiangfang actually likes to listen to dramas, but Zheng Lingling just doesn't want to go in to listen to dramas, and the mother and daughter are fighting in front of a theater. Li Guolou was angry at both ends, and he didn't know what to do? It is useless to persuade anyone.

Li Guolou rolled his eyes and said, "Lingling, don't be angry with your mother, come to rock-paper-scissors with her, and whoever wins will listen to whomever wins." ”

Zheng Lingling said angrily: "Okay! Mom, you are not allowed to cheat, if you come out slowly, it doesn't count. ”

Chen Xiangfang refuted: "Who is a scoundrel, say that one person chooses once, this time I have the final say, and it will be your turn next time." Having said that, Chen Xiangfang still accepted the guess, Chen Xiangfang won the victory, and the three of them entered the theater to listen to an excerpt without controversy.

Li Guolou and Zheng Lingling are not interested in the drama performed upstairs, they don't understand anything, it is Cantonese opera, it is a southerner's opera, no matter how good they sing, they are both singing bird language. Fortunately, Li Guolou asked for a private room upstairs, and he and Zheng Lingling drank tea, ate sugar, and ate melon seeds to pass the boring time, only Chen Xiangfang saw the end from the beginning to the end, and Li Guolou and Zheng Lingling ignored it.
