Chapter 233: Am I Still a Man?
The south of the city is the world of domestic products, Li Guolou sold two sets of clothes to Chu Xiangyu, four pairs of floral cloth shoes, perfume, belts and other odd and miscellaneous supplies, and returned hand in hand.
Li Guolou returned home and sat in the living room, a cup of tea had not been drunk, and Zhen Yuhuan said coquettishly: "Mike, let's go, stop releasing pigeons to others, people think I just take benefits and don't work!" ”
"Let me rest." Li Guolou was extremely dissatisfied, the road in the south of the city was crowded, he walked all morning, and only took a short carriage when he came back, catching the thief was physical work, and he was tired to death, so he wanted to be lazy and did not return the salute, but he was embarrassed to speak.
Zhen Yuhuan took Li Guolou's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go, Daqingsheng, you can rest on the carriage, I am called pitiful, running back and forth, there is no benefit, do you want to see Prince Gong!" ”
"Oh." Li Guolou rose up, full of power, people are endless, Li Guolou sublimated to another realm, beauties and wealth are floating clouds, and the real official hat is the truth, Li Guolou wants to climb up and get a seven-grade official hat, even if it is a virtual grade, he also admits it, there is a seven-grade official hat, how many officers can he kowtow less, Li Guolou of the Yamen of the Criminal Department does not know how many heads to kowtow a day, and there are countless thousands, one has to rely on the family, bloodline, and rules to get out of the empire, According to Li Guolou's diploma and qualifications in the officialdom, don't think about it if you want to mix with the seven-grade official for ten years.
Others envy Li Guolou's promotion speed, and the diversification of backstage hard means, but Li Guolou is not satisfied, he still wants to be like the old-timers of the country, go to the morning court once every five days, and stand on the Jinluan Palace.
"Wave." Zhen Yuhuan kissed Li Guolou's face, and proudly took Li Guolou's arm and walked out of the inner house, she wanted to watch Li Guolou become a towering tree, and all this was thanks to her, smiling and complacent, Li Guolou was taking a fancy to his unlimited future, how many men wanted, and it was okay to raise a few male pets outside.
Driving on the street of the luxury carriage, Li Guolou looked out the window and said suspiciously: "Anita, why don't you go directly to the General's Mansion!" ”
Zhen Yuhuan sighed: "Hey, people go to Cha Liang, all the guards there have been withdrawn, and the big place is deserted, Wu Peipei thinks it's better to move out early, she has gone back to her house!" ”
"Oh······" Li Guolou nodded and said, "Anita, I warn you later, don't introduce me to the big widow anymore, and don't want beautiful women!" ”
"Hey······ I'm not looking at the money, if it weren't for Leng Xiaotian having a son, I would have introduced his widow to you. Zhen Yuhuan half-truths and half-falsehoods, and the color of ridicule was revealed.
Li Guolou was furious, and punished Zhen Yuhuan with his hands and feet, making Zhen Yuhuan's face discolored, and said in a coquettish voice, "Hmm······ Don't! ”
Whether you want it or not, it depends on Li Guolou's mood, I continue to punish Zhen Yuhuan in my own way, the two kissed passionately, and Li Guolou ate the rouge on Zhen Yuhuan's lips.
Li Guolou looked at Zhen Yuhuan's makeup and asked, "Have you ever been out today?" ”
"Hmph, I'm diligent, how can I not go out, Yelia will only move her mouth, her fame is loud, it's not worth it to think about it." Zhen Yuhuan thought that the name of the Charity Hall was named after Yelia, not to mention how greasy it was.
Li Guolou said: "Don't be jealous of others, it's good to use a foreigner's name, you can evade taxes, and let the rich rest assured, since you want to do a career, I support you, and encourage women like me to go out and break through, the only one in the Qing Empire!" ”
"It's called eating soft rice." Zhen Yuhuan looked at the small mirror in her hand, and heavy makeup was commonplace for her.
"I know I'm going to be laughed at, but why do you still come to my house, it's not good to let it go in the past." Li Guolou took steps by himself, ready to be dumped by a woman at any time.
Zhen Yuhuan rolled his eyes and said: "Who told you to be likable, the foreign woman doesn't leave, why should I leave, you got married early, I will be the first to pass the door next year!" ”
"What kind of door have you passed, it's already in a door, it's because of my life style, the chief doesn't know how many times to criticize me, so I am now fishing for a false title of nine-grade official hat." Li Guolou has tasted a few *** tastes, and he regrets it a little, thinking that he was recorded in the annual assessment, "Li Guolou has excellent work ability, but his life style is erosive." This sentence may be a pain in his life.
"Hey, one thing is the same thing, I want to live with you because I just want to have a child with you, I will fight for you for the official hat, write the Chen Tiao, let Prince Gong know that you are worried about the country and the people, don't write reactionary words, Lin Zexu is forbidden area and can't say this person, and He Shen is not allowed to mention it, you think more about how to steal Western high technology, this is the right way, Prince Gong can also listen to it, don't think that everything will be fine if your family steals the 'Jenny steam loom', and you must make more contributions to the country." Zhen Yuhuan taught Li Guolou a lesson, just like reprimanding a worthless subordinate.
"Hey, hey." Li Guolou lowered his head, he went abroad to study abroad, took a historical precedent, and there is an ulterior, that is, stealing Western textile technology, he returned to China after successfully completing the task, which in exchange for the family's strong support for his career, spent a lot of money on him, let him take the road of scientific research, otherwise how can there be such a good brother and sister in the world, Ken brother spent tens of thousands of taels of silver, people like to show off, no matter how big the secret, it will eventually be revealed to the world, he still told his achievements in bed to "Xi Shi" Zhen Yuhuan, Just like King Wu, he regretted being caught in pigtails afterwards and could never turn over.
Come to the east of the city oil mill alley, here is the downtown edge, it is very convenient to go out to shop, Wu Peipei's house is the second on the left.
Zhen Yuhuan stretched out his hand and said, "Mike, it's good to be a charity hall here, it's quiet in the middle of nowhere, it's convenient for those noble ladies to come to see orphans, behave well, and let Wu Peipei go home with you as soon as possible!" ”
"How can this become, people are the second grade of the wife, no matter how much it drops, it will take more than a year, otherwise the country will face it, and find a place to be a charity hall again." Li Guolou said without doubt.
Zhen Yuhuan bowed his head and said, "Oh, I know, I didn't think it through!" ”
The carriage entered the house, closed the gate again, the hidden path made people think about it, Li Guolou looked at the house, there were not a few servants and maids along the way, it seemed that Wu Peipei assigned most of the people in the past to the house, and most of them were assigned to several other ladies.
The owner of a rich family is dead, if the wife and concubine are young, most of them live in this way, so no matter how big the family is, it will not work after a few generations, and the more people will be divided, and it is not a good thing to have more wives and children, and there are no more than three generations of wealth, there is a big reason, which is caused by the separation of the family.
Coming to the living room, Li Guolou stood and looked at the hanging calligraphy and paintings, the military generals love to be vassals and elegant, there are many literati and ink writers left here, Li Guolou has the right to pass the boring time, Zhen Yuhuan sits still, calmly drinking tea.
Wu Peipei is a Manchurian or a second-grade lady, the gap between the level and Li Guolou is obvious, she is willing to deign to find Li Guolou because she likes to look with Li Guolou, she saw Zhen Yuhuan looking for Li Guolou, and couldn't help but be ruthless in her heart, Zhen Yuhuan and her husband You Gaoming were together, and now she also wants to insert Zhen Yuhuan and Li Guolou in the middle, so she took the initiative to send it to the door, of course, Li Guolou's own conditions are very good, she also knows, she spares no expense, and persuades Li Guolou from both sides.
Wu Peipei was dressed in plain clothes, dressed properly and stepping on soft-soled boots, walked into the living room, and shouted timidly: "Engong!" ”
Li Guolou stroked him and said with a smile: "Mrs. Wu, don't be polite, you came to my house the day before yesterday, it just so happened that I didn't, I'm really sorry to let you break the bank, Mrs. Wu, I won't blame my brother for being late!" ”
Wu Peipei glanced at the courtyard and said, "It's inconvenient for the two of you to talk here, so let's go inside and talk." After speaking, he winked at Zhen Yuhuan, and the two made eye contact.
"Oh······ Mike, I just remembered that I was going to Prince Gong's place once in the afternoon, and you can talk slowly. Zhen Yuhuan stood up, she was introduced here, and she didn't care about the next thing.
Li Guolou touched his chin, turned his head and didn't dare to look at the two big women, he is a little minister, he is a young minister, he gives a rich and powerful woman a picture, and promises to raise a woman with his life, this is he looking for a big woman, she looks thirty years old, at least thirty-five or sixteen years old, it is not uncommon for a woman in the Qing Empire to give birth to a child at the age of fifteen or sixteen, Wu Peipei can be a, for the sake of power and status, Li Guolou is out of the way, the Qing Empire is a dedicated person like him, he is the only one.
Li Guolou and Wu Peipei walked into the inner house, a flower garden and a pavilion, simple and small.
"How is it here?" Wu Peipei asked casually, holding back a fire in her heart.
"Well, it's as good as Sister Pepe." Li Guolou didn't care about the back of the maid, so he naturally took Wu Peipei's hand and watched the flowers and trees in the flower garden.
"Then I'll call you Xiaolou in the future, okay." Wu Peipei couldn't hold it and almost fell, and her soft body leaned on Li Guolou's body.
"Okay, love you." Li Guolou put his arm around Wu Peipei's shoulder and kissed Wu Peipei's hair.
"Xiaolou, you're too bold." Wu Peipei stared at Li Guolou beside her, trembling with excitement.
Li Guolou looked at Wu Peipei affectionately, and said: "You look so good-looking, you will look good all your life, since we choose it ourselves, don't care what other people think, I will marry you openly next year, I don't care what the etiquette is, I will welcome Sister Peipei into the house with eight sedan chairs, and I will not wronged you in the future!" ”
"But I want to pass the door early, as for whether to marry or not, I think it's better to be exempt, so as to save people gossiping." Wu Peipeijiao said that she took a fancy to Li Guolou, and she didn't care about the family status, from a lady to a concubine, only she was willing to do this.
"Oh······" Li Guolou is worried, there is no room in the main building of the family, and it is impossible to expand like this, he has no time to buy a house to rebuild, so many grandmothers have a bowl of water, and the housing problem is in front of him, which is not easy to solve.
Marrying a grandmother into the door, only Chu Xiangyu did not have a maid and servant, and her grandmother also brought a personal maid and servant, happy in bed, and troubles came one after another when she got out of bed.
"Sister Peipe, it's not a secret that the house is too crowded to make room, and it will take me about three or four months to complete the renovation of the house, and I will pick you up then." Li Guolou can only tell the truth, people are paying to enter the door.
"Xiaolou, you won't lie to me, will you." Wu Peipei always had a chance of winning, and she didn't believe Li Guolou's words.
As soon as Li Guolou pulled Wu Peipei, he hugged her in his arms and said, "Sister Peipei, do you hear my heartbeat, this heart will always belong to you!" ”
Wu Peipei raised her head and said, "Xiaolou, you are too bold!" ”
"Fool Sister Pepe, you let me come to the inner house, don't take the initiative, am I still a man?" Li Guolou exposed Wu Peipei's sinister intentions, and returned the gift as long as he spoke in the living room of the outer house, and the matter could be explained clearly, and he didn't need to enter the inner house to speak, Wu Peipei had feelings for him, and he knew it from the first time he saw Wu Peipei, who told him to have a detective head.
"Boom······" Wu Peipei screamed and got into Li Guolou's arms, the little man was tempted by her, and his body glowed with infinite maternal love, Wu Peipei said in a low voice: "Xiaolou, it's still early, is it to chat, or go upstairs!" ”
The soul and desires are wrestling, I want to be a noble person, like a modern civilized person in the West, it is enough to talk about a vigorous love, but it is endless, Li Guolou smiled and said: "Sister Peipei, I won't go back tonight!" ”
"Little villain, I'll ask if it's now." Wu Peipei has always been dignified and steady in front of the maid, this time Wu Peipei broke out, she couldn't help it anymore, her hands were not serious.
"Okay, feed Sister Pepe first." Li Guolou picked up Wu Peipei and walked into the pavilion, his strong arms were so powerful, the appearance of the jade tree in the wind made people crazy, and the embroidery building sang praises······
