After eating dessert, Li Guolou asked the three grandmothers to go to the hall to watch a play or listen to music and drink tea in the restaurant. He had to talk to five fake foreign devils about business, and he would wait for him for an hour at most.

Yelia looked at a delicate program and smiled, "Well, there is an opera Lady of the Camellias right now, let's go to the opera." After speaking, Yelia stretched out her hand and asked Li Guolou to help her up.

Chen Xiangfang said hurriedly: "Wait! Xiaolou, you help me find a leather shoe, I don't know where I was kicked by the second grandmother? ”

Li Guolou looked down and saw that Chen Xiangfang was wearing one leather shoe, and the other leather shoe had already run to the adjacent table.

Yelia giggled and chuckled, "I'll pick it up, I've often encountered this kind of thing." After saying that, Yelia ran to the next table and said, "Excuse me." ”

Yelia squatted on the ground with her skirt in her hand, picked up a black leather shoe on the ground, and smiled slyly at Li Guolou and the two grandmothers. Yelia is a good man who does it to the end, and personally puts on Yelia's shoes.

Chen Xiangfang proudly looked at Li Guolou, she didn't lose the face of the Qing Empire, right? A French lady is putting shoes on her.

Li Guolou said: "The two grandmothers don't take off their shoes anymore, the place where they watched the play is very dark, and they can't find it if they kick it out." ”

Chen Xiangfang was extremely dissatisfied, and snorted coldly: "My feet hurt to death, can't I watch the play with leather shoes?" ”

Chen Xiangfang is big-footed, and her walking posture is crooked, as if a person is about to fall. Xie Xiuzhu is an old woman with small feet, dragging her two feet and falling last.

Li Guolou couldn't look at it, and said helplessly: "I'll take care of you first, send you in to listen to the play, and then go to the big guy Du." ”

Li Guolou supported the two grandmothers left and right, dragging the two grandmothers out of the western restaurant, and there was sneering laughter behind him, and even Yelia who followed closely behind was snickering.

Xie Xiuzhu said angrily: "I will wear leather shoes from tomorrow, and I will wear high heels in the future." Taller than Mrs. Yelia, who wouldn't fake, what is the prosthetic chest propped up by the steel ring. ”

Chen Xiangfang teased: "Second grandma, don't you hold it too?" ”

Li Guolou hurriedly said: "My two grandmothers, don't say embarrassing words, the foreigners here can understand Chinese." ”

There was laughter next to him, and Li Guolou could only bow his head and pretend that he didn't know anyone.

The waiter opened the door of the private room, and the five fake foreign devils inside immediately burst into laughter when they saw Li Guolou.

"Grandma Liu has entered the Grand View Garden! Mike, you're a living treasure! The big fat man Huang Guang took a cigar and pointed at Li Guolou and laughed.

Westerners' buildings have pipe heating, and the five fake foreigners all sit on the sofa in shirts and smoke cigars. The smoke of cigars in the private room, Li Guolou felt that the fog couldn't open his eyes, and said, "How can you stand it, don't close the door to the waiter, let the air circulate." ”

"Mr. Li, the old cow eats tender grass and sacrifices his life for righteousness, which is worth learning from our predecessors." Du Xianyu continued to ridicule Li Guolou.

Li Guolou was teased by the five fake foreign devils, and the old man also confided in him, and the five fake foreign devils were willing to listen to the topic.

Li Guolou hurriedly got up and closed the door, poured tea for the five fake foreign devils, and said: "A few big brothers, Lord Bao is willing to come forward to promote Mr. Du's plan, there are a lot of preferential policies, you can build hotels and shops without money to pave the way." Mr. Bao is still out of the silver stocks, and he is cheap and does not take advantage of the real work together. ”

Huang Guang hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Du, I only admire you for my fat and fat man, how did you come up with this trick of empty gloves white wolf, where did you learn it?" ”

Du Xianyu raised his head and said triumphantly: "It's not about reading English books and looking for loopholes in their laws and policies, others don't see it, only I can see it, and this can make enough gold and silver." ”

Chen Bulei, another skinny fake foreign ghost, said: "Mr. Du, this land can be borrowed from Citibank when you have it, and we don't spend a penny to build hotels and shops, so I really admire it." But the other investment is still very huge, sixty years later, the hotel and shops will be returned to the Qing Empire free of charge, I don't think it's really much, isn't this giving back the fat meat to others? ”

Du Xianyu raised Stitch, pointed at Chen Bulei, and said, "Mr. Chen, you are not very good." Will we still be there sixty years later? I only earn money that I can see when I am alive, can you still make money when you die? Besides, can the Qing Empire itself see what will happen sixty years later? As long as you get into this set, it is an unsolvable Goldbard conjecture. ”

Several other fake foreign devils applauded together and cheered loudly for the big guy Du.

Li Guolou stood up and bowed to the end and sighed: "Mr. Du, you are my idol and the driving force for me to move forward. Perfect plan, seductive trap, you are a better person than the warships of foreigners. Hu Xueyan is not at the same level as you, and we will be in-laws in the future. ”

Although Du Xianyu's wife is not as many as the wife of the official businessman Hu Xueyan, as long as he sets foot in the business circle, he has concubines. The biggest enemy in his mind is Hu Xueyan, and the people who follow him are all enemies of Hu Xueyan. Li Guolou's elder brother, Li Guoyun, was in the silk export business in Shanghai, and Hu Xueyan was also a competitor. This is also a competition in officialdom, one faction is Li Hongzhang's forces, and the other faction is Zuo Zongtang's forces. Du Xianyu was willing to help Li Guolou, and he also wanted to be attached to Li Hongzhang's wings. In the mall, there are either enemies or friends, enemies are used to fight and make fun, and friends are used to cooperate and help.

Several fake foreign devils on the side also began to speak ill of Hu Xueyan, and Hu Xueyan's depraved private life was dug up and teased by them.

Du Xianyu said casually: "Well, Mr. Li is shrewd and capable, and I also appreciate it, so I said that I will climb a family in the future." "Xindao: The little wife's son and daughter are not worth much, just bring one out, as long as you don't beat the ghost idea of my eldest wife's daughter Du Yingying, this is his heart.

Huang Guang looked left and right, and said with a pun: "That's it?" ”

Li Guolou and Du Xianyu replied in unison: "It's done!" ”

Du Xianyu said: "Mr. Huang, go and bring the bottle of 1811 Bourbon red wine that I have stored here, we will celebrate." Next Sunday, Mr. Li invited us to the Baozhi room to drink flower wine, and you should inform a few other friends that the singer of Jiaofeng Lou is here to perform, which is the kind that can enter the shed. ”

Huang Guang, the big fat man who walked to the door, turned his head and said with a smile when he heard this: "Old rules, Mr. Li is in for a treat." ”

Li Guolou did not reveal it, did not express his position openly, but did not say anything against it. These friends are too rich, and with their help, Baozhifang will definitely have a prosperous business in the future. If you want to get it, you have to pay first, and he has long been familiar with the role of pimping, and when the time comes, he can bargain with Sai Jinhua and get a 20% discount.

Du Xianyu asked, "Mr. Li, do you want to invite Mr. Bao to my house to play during the Spring Festival?" ”

Li Guolou replied: "Mr. Du is still exempt during the Spring Festival, Master Bao is also very busy, you just need to come to the door to deliver the sealing ceremony." After the festival, you invite Mr. Bao to play in the British Hall, and Mr. Bao likes the games there. ”

Du Xianyu said: "It's still rare and okay!" Don't get addicted! ”

The other three fake foreign devils showed Mimi's expressions and said, "It's rare! ”

Six people stand up for a round of toasts and toasts! Li Guolou drank it all, turned the cup down, and said: "I'm sorry everyone, I still have to put out the fire, I can't have fun today, I will see you next Friday." ”

Du Xianyu sighed: "Mr. Li is terrible in the future, and it will be up to you in ten years." When is Yelia going to have a drinking party, you want us to participate. I'm still missing a French lady, and you need help. ”

Li Guolou put on his coat, pinched his top hat and bowed to France, waved his chic movements, and said loudly: "Mr. Du's order is my motivation, and next time there will be a lonely French lady waiting for Mr. Du to comfort him." ”

A few gentlemen-looking fake foreign devils, politely saluted and said goodbye, who could see that they were all traitors who betrayed their ancestors.

In the private room, Du Xianyu said: "I didn't misunderstand the king of soft rice, as long as there is meat to eat, he is willing to serve." After this project is completed, we will promote it to Shanghai, Wuhan and Guangzhou. ”

Huang Guangdao: "Mr. Du, people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, although your plan is good, but the loopholes are very big, this is a bottomless pit, and if the follow-up funds can't keep up, it will be a dead end." Let's take it step by step and do a good job of a local project. Only when you dig the first pot of gold can you have confidence. ”

Du Xianyu glanced at him and said, "Fat and fat, then you don't believe me!" ”

Huang Guang said with a smile: "Big guy Du, we are all attached to you to make a fortune, how can we not believe you." But when the plan is really implemented, people will see that there is something wrong with it. It's impossible to promote it across the board, it's not that I don't believe you. ”

Chen Bulei said: "Yes, Mr. Du, the Eight-Nation Alliance has only landed in Tianjin Port once, how can it come five or six times." You are too naïve to think that the loan procedures of Citibank will be modified for what you have done, and you will not be able to borrow a second payment. ”

The four fake foreign devils slapped their palms and laughed together, and Du Xianyu also laughed with how smart he was.

In the corridor, Li Guolou was smiling in his heart, his face couldn't help but be full of spring breeze, he, the middleman, was good at dancing with long sleeves, playing with all the people in the palm of his hand, and the silver would fly over like snowflakes. Li Guolou was immersed in the sweet dream he had weaved, a stunned look and a person bumped into a full arms.

"I'm sorry!" Li Guolou hurriedly apologized first. The strange man did not fall or bounce away, but was still attached to Li Guolou.

"Xiaolou, why don't you come to my house to play?" A sweet voice asked.

Li Guolou hurriedly broke Du Yingying's two hands with his hands, and said hurriedly: "Big niece, don't mess around." ”

"Humph!" Du Yingying said angrily: "It's all your fault, why do you tell me the story of Cinderella and the crystal slipper, the prince in my dream now is you." ”

"Big niece, don't think nonsense, this is the budding of adolescence, you will find a suitable partner in the future, it will be monogamy in the future, you have to find a dedicated lover." Li Guolou turned his head to see if anyone knew, it was terrible, the little girl in front of him was a little goblin, and she wanted to seduce him at such a young age.

"When no one is around, you have to call me Yingying, Xiaolou, why are you not polite? I will tell my mother about the future, and it is useless for me to tell you. Du Yingying stared at Li Guolou intently.

Li Guolou was scared and wanted to run away sideways, Du Yingying said angrily: "Xiaolou, if you dare to move, I will call it indecent manner, you can try it." ”

Li Guolou said angrily: "Du Yingying, who taught you this!" "People don't dare to take another step forward, they are not afraid of 10,000, they are afraid of what happens, and they still have to be innocent.

Du Yingying said proudly: "Of course it was taught by Aunt Rowling, men like girls who take the initiative, and they can't resist a round." ”

Li Guolou's forehead was dripping with sweat, the heating here was turned on too high, and he was not interested in Du Yingying at all. In this era, it is normal for women to get married at the age of twelve or thirteen, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with a twelve-year-old girl, let alone stay with men and women standing so stiffly in the dim corridor, not to mention how awkward.

Li Guolou saw that no one was moving, and hurriedly said: "Du Yingying hurry up and go to your mother, I still have something to do, just joke with me next time." ”

Du Yingying smiled sweetly: "Xiaolou, I'm not joking with you, my mother knows that I'm waiting for you, remember that this is an invitation, look at the time to come to eat at noon on the thirteenth day of the first month, it's two meals!" Girlfriend bring a few more for me to see, so that I can see your eyes. ”

Li Guolou took the card and said suspiciously: "This is what your mother asked you to give me?" ”

Du Yingying waved her small hand and said coquettishly: "I don't believe in pulling down!" See for yourself, I'm gone. Bye! After speaking, Du Yingying stretched out a hand in front of Li Guolou, just waiting for Li Guolou to kiss him goodbye.

How dare Li Guolou kiss again, a perfunctory handshake, touched it lightly, and said hurriedly: "I'm very busy during the Spring Festival, I'll talk about it then." ”

Du Yingying smiled stupidly and said: "Xiaolou, you will come, otherwise I will eat in Baozhi's room every day after I come." After speaking, Du Yingying walked away, shaking two pigtails, and proudly humming the English folk song "Lavender".

"Lavender is blooming everywhere, and the blue flowers and green leaves are full of fragrance. I am the king and you are the queen. Flip a coin and make a wish. I love you all my life, and I will never ······"

Du Yingying's voice was crisp, leaving only the aftermath lingering. Let Li Guolou sigh slightly, people's hearts! When will it be satisfied.
