Chapter 124: Yessenia steals the pocket watch

It is possible that the French women thought Li Guolou was a big stallion and invited him to come back to the ball next Friday. Li Guolou looked at Yelia's smiling expression and said, "Mrs. Yesenia, I will accompany Mrs. Yelia to Tianjin next week, and I will make an appointment next time when I come back." ”

The aristocratic woman is very self-contained, no matter whether she heard or didn't hear the meaning of Li Guolou's refusal, she still stretched out her hand and asked Li Guolou to kiss it. Mrs. Yesenia left abruptly, sat at another table and chatted and laughed with several noble ladies, and the eyes of several noble ladies would turn to Li Guolou, and the kung fu of flattering eyes was perfected one by one.

Yelia did not look back at her friends, but admonished Li Guolou, "Mac, don't beat Madame Yesenia's idea, her husband is the captain of the musket team of the French Concession in Shanghai, and he is a sharpshooter." ”

Li Guolou smiled: "I'm not so stupid, Mrs. Yesenia's table is playing in a circle, I don't want to be squeezed dry by them." Honestly, dear, have you ever played with them? ”

Yelia confided a little, "She introduced me to a boyfriend in the past, and I didn't like her, but she is quite good at business, and I have some business dealings with her." ”

Yelia stopped talking about it, and how many people were clean?

The waiter brought a plate of asparagus roast duck, Li Guolou rolled his eyes when he looked at this dish, and the duck fork went down in a few clicks.

Li Guolou sighed: "My dear, no wonder you keep your figure so perfect, you eat so little." ”

Yelia was also eating her plate of asparagus roast duck, picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses with Li Guolou, and said: "We French people pay attention to exquisiteness, the dishes are beautifully laid out, the taste is pure, as for the quantity, there is so much, you can order a few baguettes if you can't eat enough later, and you can also bring it to the room to replenish your strength at night." ”

Li Guolou sighed: "I don't expect delicious foie gras anymore, it won't go anywhere, everything is delicious when hungry." After speaking, Li Guolou whistled and wanted the waiter to come over, and he wanted to add the staple food "baguette".

Yelia's face turned pale for a while, and he said angrily: "Mike This is a French high-end restaurant, why are you like a British hooligan, so tasteless, let me be embarrassed." ”

Li Guolou hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry Yelia, I live in the UK, I have learned a lot of vulgar habits, and I often do inappropriate actions, I don't know if I think I will use it, and I can't change it." ”

Yelia rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it, I won't talk about you." He looked up and said, "The waiter didn't make this plate of asparagus roast duck, the chef didn't do it, bring it back to me and redo it, don't eat it, Mike, return it to the waiter." ”

Li Guolou is very happy, he has already eaten half of the asparagus roast duck, and he can also eat another plate of asparagus roast duck, which is also a good choice. To be honest, he didn't think French food was delicious at all, but he wouldn't say this sentence, slow work and careful work, and the people of the Qing Empire were not used to this slow rhythm. This is a slower way of life than the procrastination of the Qing Empire, and if a French chef had cooked for a Qing official, he would have been fired long ago, no wonder the French had the nickname of the European slacker.

The lobby manager held a bottle of red wine wrapped in a napkin, walked over on tiptoe, bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry Miss Yelia, we didn't control the quality, this bottle of red wine was given to you by our restaurant, do you want to open it." ”

The logo of the wine faces Yelia, so that the discerning Yelia can see the brand and the vintage of the wine. The picky Yelia glanced clearly, nodded and said, "Well, open it, Mr. Jack, I'll come again, and I'll ask you to do it next time I hold a drinking party." ”

The restaurant manager was grateful, bowed and apologized again, similar to the Qing Dynasty officials throwing horseshoe sleeves.

It turned out that there were also minions in France, and the ways and methods were different, Li Guolou opened his eyes and said sincerely: "Yelia, if you are a businessman, you will definitely succeed, only picky people will strive for excellence." Well, I can't remember who said that. ”

Yelia smiled brightly, covered her mouth and said, "Mike, don't pretend, that's what you said." ”

Li Guolou's pretended expression remained unchanged, as if he couldn't think of it: "Is it?" I've become a celebrity! ”

Yelia said coquettishly, "Mike, where did you learn so many tricks, and the romantic French would not do this." ”

Li Guolou smiled, a little embarrassed, this is a trick he learned in officialdom, no matter how shameless he is, he will also say it smoothly. If you praise the commander, you should also divide the ranks, and each subordinate must figure out his own status, constantly change roles, correct his position, and talk nonsense when he sees people. Keep improving, eager to learn, he has already applied what he has learned, and killed a large group of chiefs in seconds, so he will blend into the circle of the chiefs to have fun. If he would only intrigue with criminals, he would still be fighting on the front line of bravery, going out early and returning late every day, where would he have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the world and drink delicious Bordeaux wine.

The sound of the violin rang in his ears, and Robinson sent someone to give Yelia a large bouquet of flowers. Li Guolou's chest was tight, they were immersed in the most romantic love, and Yelia's old lover Robinson actually came to this hand, offering beautiful music and flowers, to make Yelia change of heart.

Yelia's heart was very angry, Robinson didn't choose the right occasion to apologize, so many people looked at her. Do you want her to rush out of the restaurant now and leave Li Guolou and turn to Robinson's arms? Yelia didn't even look at the cards in the bouquet, crumpled them into a ball, and threw them directly into the wine glass.

Yelia looked cold and said, "Mike gave them money and let them go." And he said, "Waiter, change the cup." ”

The embarrassing scene ended in an instant, Yelia raised her wine glass, and said coquettishly: "Mike, don't affect our mood, Robinson is deliberately trying to make us ugly, I won't leave, let's be a British scoundrel, whatever others say about us." ”

Li Guolou smiled: "I finally know now why you Westerners like to rob other people's things, it's so fulfilling." Dear Elijah, you are priceless and I will always love you. Shredded! ”

"Shredded!" Yelia smiled, and said secretly in her heart: Dumping a man is also a very fulfilling thing, and I don't know if Li Guolou will stick to her with a dead face in the future and give her a chance to increase her value. In this embarrassing scene, she can have such a good performance, she deserves a few drinks. Her movements are so beautiful, I don't know how many men admire her. The ladies next to her will definitely learn her action of throwing cards into the wine glass in the future, this is a classic action, how did she think of it? Yelia admired herself. The prom princess has become a pediatric laughing party, she has been sublimated to a higher level, and there will be more rich people staring at her ass in the future, and whoever gets her will be the king.

In the dining room, music sounded, and a pair of diners danced and walked between the tables. Yelia held Li Guolou's hand and said, "Mike is going to dance this kind of dance with me next time, I'll teach you." ”

Li Guolou sighed: "If Yelia accompanies you to eat French food, you have to learn to dance, and I feel uncomfortable waiting for food, and I feel tired when I sit." ”

Yelia sighed: "Mike, you don't have the romance of the French at all, this is not the best French restaurant, the top French restaurant can eat for three or four hours at a meal, the candles are lit for you, the music is playing for you, and you are the only one in your eyes, how romantic it is." ”

Li Guolou stretched out a slap and said, "I will only give you this kind of opportunity five times, and I can't bear it any more." ”

Yelia said coquettishly: "Mike, you are a fool, that is a trick to surprise your girlfriend, how can it be measured by the number of times, it takes three or four hours to eat each time, am I not a nervous disorder?" ”

"Oh - that's for a marriage proposal, isn't it? I understand, to put it bluntly, it's a chartered venue! I'll give you a charter for your birthday in the future, well-you're going to do Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·it next time."

Yelia hurriedly said: "Mike, I'm two years older than you, you have to remember this, and your two girlfriends have to say this." You know? ”

"Ahh Aren't you French the most honest people? "Li Guolou is a little strange.

"Mike, you have been deceived again, it is deliberately used by the British devils to deceive us French, they want us to be honest people, everything is on the table. Our greatest monarch, Napoleon I, was deceived by the British. One day at Waterloo changed our nation, and one day was missing, the British devils could deceive people, and we French people should also deceive people. Yelia said how good the reason is, putting the two opposing nationalities on the table, not to mention showing Li Guolou the deep groove on the table.

Li Guolou swallowed his saliva, hurriedly took a sip of red wine, and said, "Dear Yelia, I will give you your twenty-third birthday next year and give you a big surprise." ”

Yelia nodded slightly, fulfilling Li Guolou's request. Watching Li Guolou's expression change, he said, "Mike, why have you never been principled, everything is according to other people's wishes, I haven't seen you oppose anything?" ”

Li Guolou glanced at him and said: "I am soft-hearted and will think about others in everything, so I will agree to marry two widows as wives." The other Qing people are stealing incense and stealing jade to do this kind of thing, how can they marry the widow of Kefu as a wife. I am the only one who is really willing to take responsibility. In order to break off with the little girl, I kicked out all the little maids who were serving at home. I'm still very principled, and yesterday this situation was too tempting for me, so I was impulsive. ”

Yelia Se Mimi looked at Li Guolou and said, "Mike, why don't you lie without blushing, is it once?" Drink the snail soup quickly, this is very tonic and can make you come back again. After speaking, Yelia no longer had the demeanor of a Frenchman, moved the chair to Li Guolou's side, and put one hand on Li Guolou's thigh and stroked it. If you make up for it, you have to use the function of supplementing, and you will use it later.

Li Guolou stood still and bowed his head to drink the soup, and Mrs. Yesenia walked by, stopped and put a folded card in front of Li Guolou, and admonished: "Mike, this is the address of my home, when you come back from Tianjin, my sisters want to dance with you." Everyone will be friends from now on, eating and drinking together. Goodbye Yelia, come with you when you have time. ”

Li Guolou hurriedly hid the card in his pants pocket and said, "Okay! I will definitely visit Mrs. Yessenia in the future. After that, he stretched out his right hand and pinched Mrs. Yesenia's raised right hand and kissed it.

When he couldn't see the figure of Mrs. Yesenia, Li Guolou asked, "Yelia, is Mrs. Yesenia a gypsy?" ”

Yelia said: "I don't know where her blood came from, how can you say that Lady Yesenia is a gypsy?" ”

Li Guolou said in a low voice: "Only gypsy women have no sense of shame, gypsies are people who do not stop when they do not achieve their goals, I saw that Mrs. Yessenia stole other people's things, and stole a gentleman's pocket watch." ”

Yelia opened her mouth in surprise and turned her head to look at a gentleman at the next table, just now she heard the voice of Madame Yessenia apologizing to the family, and turned to look at it a few times, it turned out that Mrs. Yessenia was stealing someone's pocket watch.

Yelia whispered, "Mike, why don't you say it?" How come you don't have a sense of justice? ”

Li Guolou prevaricated: "Isn't she your friend?" We Qing people pay attention to the rivers and lakes to see each other in the future, so I can only pretend not to see it. Madame Yesenia knew that I had seen it, so she came to greet me. ”

Yelia asked, "Mike, are you mistaken?" Mrs. Yesenia's family is very rich, and there is a lot of ginseng, how can she steal a pocket watch worth dozens of taels of silver. ”

Li Guolou stood up suddenly, felt that it was inappropriate, and sat down again and said, "Yelia, you said that Mrs. Yesenia's house is full of ginseng, how many are there?" ”

"Mrs. Yesenia is a maker of precious medicinal herbs, and there are a few sacks of high-end ginseng at home, and the ginseng tea I drink is bought from her, and the ginseng she sells to us is at a friendly price, which is much cheaper than in the herb shop outside."

Li Guolou said: "Could the ginseng sold to you by Mrs. Yesenia be a fake?" ”

Yelia smirked, "Mike, what kind of mouth am I?" The most awkward. Once you taste it, you can know whether it's true or not, and I bought Korean ginseng for ten taels of silver a piece, and I bought ten sticks from Yesenia at a time, and the outside was at least doubled. ”

"Oh!" Li Guolou kept silent and didn't ask any more questions, he already knew that Mrs. Yesenia's family was a big thief, and the theft of Tongyitang's medicinal materials that happened in Jingshi in March was done by Mrs. Yesenia's family, and foreign thieves came to the Qing Empire to take advantage. No wonder Liu Banxian, the leader of the beggar gang, shouted that he was wronged, and they didn't dare to do this kind of big case.
