Li Guolou shouted angrily: "Sister-in-law Qian, you are too disagreeable, what kind of world is it now, even the British Empire does not allow women to be concubines, how can you let your daughter jump into the fire pit?" ”

Qian Shuiping picked up Niuniu, coaxed her daughter, and asked Niuniu not to cry, "Niuniu doesn't cry, Niuniu doesn't cry, we don't go to learn singing, we just learn needlework, and we will support ourselves in the future!" After a while, he said: "Xiaolou, this is the Qing Empire, rich men marry concubines, you say it well now, when you develop well, you will please a few wives in the future, men see beautiful women are all the same cheap!" If you don't believe it, we can bet. ”

Li Guolou makes people say that he is not a well-developed "boy chicken", his face is as red as a persimmon, he is now a dignified five-foot man, although there is no long hair on his face, he should have other places, and he is not less than others.

Li Guolou remembered the little girl Xie Yunfang, who was familiar with the Four Books and the Five Classics, he was once asked by Xie Yunfang and was speechless, this is the key to the old man Xie Yuantong who wants to withdraw from the marriage, and the whole family looks down on him as a waste of firewood that wasted his youth to study abroad. Now Li Guolou has not come out of the shadow of being dumped by the little girl, let alone take a look at the beauties on the road, he wants to have a career of his own, so that others know that Li Guolou can live a chic life in the world without relying on his family.

Li Guolou squinted and said: "Sister-in-law Qian, don't look down on people, I know Western boxing, and I can fight freely, and I also know a little bit about Chinese martial arts, your husband can't help but fight me." In this world, it is not enough to have strength, just like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was exterminated by the Hunan army and the Huai army, or it was up to the foreign guns and cannons provided to us by the great powers of various countries. ”

Wang Shutong, who eavesdropped on Li Guolou and Qian Shuiping's speeches outside the door, showed half of his head from the door and said angrily: "Down with the great powers of all countries, return me Shanghai, return me Guangzhou, and return my great rivers and mountains, fake foreign devils are traitors!" ”

Qian Shuiping snorted, closed the door, and shouted: "Wang Kuaizui, there is nothing to do with you here, Hong Xiuquan still said that he is invulnerable." Just keep talking about dead devils with your mouth. ”

Uncle Wang Tongkong was full of patriotic enthusiasm, but no one paid attention to him, he still stood at the door of the south room, leaning against the door panel and listening to the conversation between Li Guolou and Qian Shuiping.

Li Guolou stood up and looked at Niuniu and Niuniu, he didn't like the Four Books and Five Classics and Eight Strands of Literature at all, although he had studied them when he was a child, but since he came to the United Kingdom to learn basic cultural knowledge, he knew that the Four Books and Five Classics, in addition to cultivating his own cultural accomplishment and writing a few articles, he could not promote social progress.

Li Guolou looked at Qian Shuiping and said, "Sister-in-law Qian, let's discuss it with you, I can hear what you mean." Go back and discuss with your husband, and if you are willing to let Niu Niu and Niu Niu go to the Mary Church School, I can pay their tuition. The way of Confucius and Mencius can no longer keep up with the changes in this world, and now my grandfather is preparing to build a shipyard and an arsenal in Shanghai. To tell you the truth, my family also has a business in Shanghai, and I also need people with knowledge of Western culture, and it is best to learn Western knowledge from an early age, and I can integrate it, not like I started learning Western knowledge at the age of 14, I can only learn one language, and I only know a rough idea of the rest, and I have never passed the exam. ”

For the first time, Li Guolou told others that his family's status in the business world was high, and it was also the first time that his family had money. He hasn't said how much money it will cost to spend in Beijing this year to work around the Liufu Yamen? If it is revealed, Wang Kuai, who is eavesdropping outside the door, is afraid that his jaw will hit the ground. is not afraid of losing face to reveal that he has not read well and has not been able to get a good diploma, so he has only been sitting on the cold bench in Beijing for a year, and no yamen has invited him.

Qian Shuiping smiled bitterly and said, "Xiaolou, I heard that in the Mary Church School, people will be brainwashed when they enter, and they will believe in their sect, I am afraid that there will be endless troubles." ”

Li Guolou was helpless, he had long been no enthusiasm for preaching to others, and he had been denounced by the Chinese people as a "fake foreign devil" and "traitor" many times, and said: "Sister-in-law Qian, whatever you want, anyway, if you don't agree, just because I haven't said it, the impact of reading on the future is not necessarily good, and it is also a blessing to live a life without illness and disaster." Right? ”

Niuniu looked at Li Guolou, gritted her teeth and said, "Mother, I want to go to Ma He Academy, and I will definitely be able to be a rich man with Uncle Li in the future." ”

Niu Niu is a personal essence, how can he not know the reason why people go to high places, and shouted: "Mother, I also want to go to Ma He School, and I will be Uncle Li's subordinate in the future, and I guarantee that I will not lose." ”

Li Guolou smiled bitterly: "Don't follow me, I am the most unproductive person in the family, idle and idle, and I can't achieve anything." In the future, I will follow my brothers and sisters, I can't guarantee anything else, sister-in-law Qian, as long as Niuniu and Niuniu graduate from the church school, I dare to guarantee that the entire courtyard house of your family will be yours in the future, and even the servants can afford it. ”

Qian Shuiping was so excited that he almost fainted, although the Chinese scolded the foreigners, but who didn't know that the foreigners were superior people. If her children come out of the church school run by foreigners, they will also be superior people in the Qing Dynasty in the future.

Qian Shuiping slapped his breasts and shouted: "Xiaolou, I am in charge of family affairs, and if you are scolded by Wang Kuai, you can scold it." If the neighbors can't get used to it, they can't get used to it, and my family will rely on you in the future. ”

Li Guolou replied: "Sister-in-law Qian, for most of the past half a year, it seems that I have supported your whole family. If Ma Da stick is like this again, I really want to beat him, this is not a joke! ”

Qian Shuiping was filled with tears of excitement, and said: "Xiaolou, if you beat me and kill him, I will remarry as soon as possible." ”

Niuniu and Niuniu looked at each other, it seems that their mother-in-law wants to marry Li Guolou, how good it would be.

As soon as Qian Shuiping opened the door, the door panel had not been opened too much, her two hands were still on the door, and Wang Shutong couldn't wait to rush into the room, startling the four people in the room.

Uncle Wang hurriedly said: "Brother Li, my son is a prodigy, you can accept him as a son, I won't say anything bad about you again, I'll kneel down for you." ”

Li Guolou doesn't eat this set, the appearance of Wang Cub's monkey spirit, when he sees the little girl, he follows the little girl behind the ass and becomes stupid, and even pees on the little girl, he must be a pervert when he grows up, no matter how smart Wang Cub is, he will not spend money on this kind of child. Honggu's nature has long been inherited from her son, as the saying goes, there is a kind of like a species, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Li Guolou grabbed Wang Shutong and said: "Don't chirp, Wang is quick to talk, fake foreign devils are invulnerable, bad words make people progress, you just say it." Your son has any virtues, and the neighbors know that I can't afford to ask for this god. ”

Uncle Wang didn't succeed, he had no choice but to leave the south room, and in the future, he would use his quick mouth to publicize the "ugly things" of fake foreign devils and sister-in-law Qian. Even if people don't believe it once, he believes that as long as he says it hundreds of times, this ugly matter will definitely spread to every corner of Jingshi.

Li Guolou no longer wears a robe, and now he doesn't dare to be avant-garde, wearing a suit and tie, and dragging a short braid behind his head.

This kind of fake foreign devil, he met on the road, his nostrils are facing the sky, and he looks down on the Chinese people. Generally, such people are translators of foreign consulates and compradors in foreign trading houses. Some even have their pigtails cut off, because they have joined foreign nationality, and they are superior to travel in Beijing, and they can't have a high nose bridge and blue eyes, and they also like to hold a "Sidike" in their hands, and the people dare to scold them, and the "fake foreign devils" will wave "Siddik", and then bring a foreign language to greet them together, and the officials and officials are more afraid of this kind of "fake foreign devils" than real devils, because this kind of people can't be fooled, compared to the truth, they must be beaten by the yamen to beat the common people, this kind of "fake foreign devils" If you can understand that others are scolding him, and if your mouth is a little dishonest, they will have an excuse to "start fighting", just like the British Empire warships firing guns outside the port of Tianjin.

Although Li Guolou was scolded as a fake foreign ghost, he was also angry when he saw this kind of "fake foreign devil" who forgot his ancestors. once fought with "fake foreign devils", since they liked everything in foreign countries so much, Li Guolou greeted them in English, and coupled with Western boxing, he beat these "fake foreign ghosts" down at once. These "fake foreign devils" clamored to go to the yamen to make a judgment, but Li Guolou came and directly said that he would go to their consulate to reason. If you can't beat it, you deserve it! If you don't believe me, what does your master say? He has nothing to find fault with, he beat four "fake foreign devils", and now in Beijing, he is already the "male uncle" in the "fake foreign devils", and often participates in the gatherings of "fake foreign devils", people are so cheap, these "fake foreign devils" think that with Li Guolou joining, their strength is even stronger!

But Li Guolou regretted it a lot, and now he saw that those "fake foreign devils" couldn't do it anymore, because everyone was friends. When I saw those "fake foreign devils" on the road, I quickly avoided them, for fear that something bad would happen, and he would not be a human being inside and out. Because it is often the "fake foreign devils" who occupy the "reason", this makes him in a dilemma, and he can no longer play the scoundrel with his fists.

He is young and fashionable and dressed brightly, and a gray hat that is most popular in Beijing is made of six pieces of homogeneous material, symbolizing the "unity of Liuhe" in the four directions of heaven and earth, and a cyan jade is inlaid in the middle. A woolen black trench coat, a pair of gray trousers, and military boots. Li Guolou is reluctant to wear the silk horse coat that is usually worn by rich people, although he also has a horse coat, but as long as he does not enter the yamen, he is still dressed like a "fake foreign devil" (he thinks he is already very similar to a Chinese person).
