Chapter 588: The more chores, the better
Originally, there was no banquet in the first round of negotiations, but they only exchanged views with each other and submitted their opinions on how to deal with the "Margaret case", and then broke up, but the British minister personally entertained Li Guolou and his party, and more than a dozen negotiators from the Prime Minister's Yamen ate with round stomachs and left the British Hall with a set of fine British porcelain and a jar of British black tea
Zheng Hengdan was promoted by Li Guolou, the first time he participated in this kind of occasion, the diplomatic negotiations produced a lot of foreign appearances, and became the joke of the banquet, Li Guolou was not angry, he originally wanted to turn this diplomatic negotiation into a joke, Zheng Hengdan made a fool of himself, which was exactly what he expected
In the second round of negotiations, the venue of the second week was changed to the British Concession in Tianjin, and Li Guolou had already understood that the British had not only intimidated the Qing Dynasty at the negotiation table, but also bothered to bribe the Qing negotiators, Yelia and Xie Liya, to get an Indian camel hair sari carriage, and to show off that they had already thrown away Li Guolou's admonition to them, and regarded Wei Tuoma as a good friend
Li Guolou couldn't stand it and reprimanded angrily: "Hey, you two are finished, I am doing Gou Jian today, the enemy is killing people with soft knives, what are you doing, an Indian sari will buy you, and say that you have become a Qing Dynasty and are willing to sacrifice everything for me."
Yelia hurriedly took off the sari from her shoulder and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm sorry Xiaolou, I almost forgot the national shame and family hate, I will wear this sari for a month and give it away."
"I'll give the Indian sari to my sister-in-law, Margaret," Cheriya couldn't give up the precious sari and decided to leave the benefits to her family
Xie Liya's words almost didn't make Li Guolou angry, it seems that the strategy of razing and destroying will not work, the two foreign women are born with a good impression of the British, and the way of fighting against razing will not work from the beginning, and the two foreign women will not sell him to the British, and they are already worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth
Li Guolou asked, "Do the two ladies feel bored today and don't want to translate anymore?"
"I'm okay, Xiaolou, it's a little difficult for you to deal with Wei Tuoma alone, you need my wisdom," Yelia first rejected Li Guolou's kindness, as for what Li Guolou thought in his heart, she didn't think about it
"Xiaolou Shicai Wei Tuma said to me that the scenery in Yantai is very good, there are many British Victorian style garden houses, do you want to send a garden house to me" Xie Liya is very skilled in bribery and bribery, and heard what the British Minister Wei Tuma said
Li Guolou gritted his teeth with hatred, no wonder Li Hongzhang was willing to betray the interests of the country, and he was addicted to taking advantage of the British
Yelia sighed: "Xiaolou, don't be angry, lose your body, lose the east corner, collect the mulberry elm, look forward, you don't want to deceive the British, it's no big deal to take bribes, our family is not in the right way, things can be paved from here to the street, but our hearts are red, taken from the people, and the interests are returned to the people."
Li Guolou squinted and sneered: "Are you so great, leave it to your daughter, a garden, and it's Yantai, how can you two divide it?"
"You don't care about this, you have to think about it for Master Fu Xiang, don't let people get off the stage, Yantai is surrounded by the sea, the scenery is beautiful, I really want to play," Xie Liya knew that the Qing Dynasty officialdom was dark and knew how to move, Li Guolou accepted bribes from the British, their family was a master of bribery, and millions of silver were sent in with their left hand and right hand, and they also gave people away, and they didn't have any knots about taking advantage of the British
"Well, Yantai is a good place, you two take the benefits, don't forget to give other grandmothers some benefits, give me a way to live, save me from being a difficult person," Li Guolou thought with blood in his heart, but he married three foreign women, of course, he had to make the Qi family equal, the world was even, and the family was even, so that he could share the worries of the monarch's father
"Xiaolou is so good, I want to give birth to a son, take care of the house for you," Yelia couldn't help but hug Li Guolou tightly and sat in the carriage restlessly, she settled down and enjoyed the life of the Qing Dynasty, she was like the Virgin Mary, a woman, praised by the people, but she was still a she-wolf in her bones
Xie Liya looked at Li Guolou and Yelia kissing Jiaodi and said: "Xiaolou, I will squeeze it tonight, and I will also give birth to a son" After speaking, Xie Liya unbuttoned the cheongsam to reveal a lace corset······
Li Guolou finally took a breath and looked at the two foreign women who were discolored, and their hearts were already lewd, and he said in a low voice: "Tonight, I will fight the Eight-Nation Alliance, let Mayuko take the lead"
"Huh, huh, huh", like crying, Miaoman's singing voice sounded, how could the two foreign women let the Oriental mother-in-law take the lead, and directly knocked Li Guolou over the carpet in the carriage
The carriage drove to Jiadao Street, and the three people flirted and scolded each other in the car, and they had long forgotten that the foreigners brought national shame to the Chinese people, and the Qing Dynasty still had to maintain a glorious strategy, and they still had to enjoy life, the war was out of reach, and the colorful life accumulated each other's feelings
Chen Xiangfang held her eldest son Li Yunlong in her arms, followed by a group of ladies dressed as full of noblewomen, and looked forward to Li Guolou's homecoming
Li Guolou has achieved great success in his career, and he has risen step by step in the officialdom, so that these ambitious women unite with his grandmothers, and the grandmothers around him are full of happy expressions, and they are not jealous of Li Guolou's marriage to the fourteenth lady Du Eniang, but feel supreme glorious, the Empress Dowager Cixi Niangniang personally wrote the blessing word, hanging the middle of the main house, and the congratulatory gifts were piled up from the porch to the inner house, and the slaves were busy
Jiadao Street, Li Mansion is brilliantly lit, the lanterns are colorful, the lintel is hung with red satin, Li Mansion is about to welcome the fourteenth lady Du Eniang, Li Guolou, this marriage is quite high-profile, this is the Tongzhi Emperor Qin Marriage, he wants to feast, civil and military officials, the banquet alone will be set for three days
"Master, good grandmother, auspicious", dozens of slaves at the door bent their knees to welcome Li Guolou back home
It is said that there are more than 100 people in the busy crowd in Li Guolou's house, plus the resident population of Ding Li's mansion, which is a sentry guard, is more than 200 people, not including the peripheral handymen, temporary workers, and the rich family is strictly hierarchical, and the servants see the master walking by, and they don't even dare to raise their heads when they stand on both sides of the corridor with respect and respect
There are few old people in Li Guolou's mansion, those servants who are loyal to Li Guolou have long been released from the mansion to be the managers of the Li Group, and even the officials are only a few old servants, and they still live in the mansion, they don't need to be lowly and low, and when they see Li Guolou, they come up to say hello
"Master, what kind of thing is this, it's so heavy," Wei Zhuangyong, the head of the foreign government, hurriedly stepped forward to the luggage on the carriage, that is, the British minister Wei Tuma sent two high-grade flowers
"Manager Wei, don't show your ability, when you get old, you will carry a flower cloth," Li Guolou is very polite to people as always, even if he is a servant, he takes off his hat and salutes
As soon as they heard that the flower cloth was originally neat, the team became messy, and the grandmothers stepped forward to stroke the foreign cloth, and their eyes swept to Yelia and Seriya, wondering what benefits the two foreign women had gained
The woman is this pair of virtues, and the national building left alone, as always, and it was cleaner in the study
After Li Guolou returned to Beijing, he wanted to know about the situation in the house, so many slaves, family members, and the bookkeeper in the courtyard, what Mr. did every day, he wanted to know how Chen Xiangfang and Zhen Yuhuan managed this family, but the grandmothers advised him not to worry about family affairs, and the master of life in the house should not care about Yelia, and even moved out of the case of the British nobles, saying that the Western nobles had nothing to do every day, and only valued a sumptuous dinner
Li Guolou's family is unofficial, he is light, and he doesn't even know the monthly expenses of the Li Mansion, and finally tastes the taste of being an emperor, the interests of the people around him can't touch the woman, and after he grasps it, he spends money like running water, he marries a fourteenth lady, as if every servant and family member in the house has changed their clothes for the New Year, and those maids still have beads on their heads, and at a glance, you can know that the second lady Xie Xiuzhu "rewards the three armies"
Li Guolou promoted Nabazi to the top position, and Nabazi would also report to him, and after he delegated the economic and financial power to several ladies, they clung to the power and did not report to him, Li Guolou could only learn about some of the financial expenditures in the government from a few bookkeepers, Li Guolou regretted it very much, no wonder the book said that women in power will mislead the country and the people, Jin Yu said that he did not listen to the evil consequences, the present world newspaper, grandmothers will talk about egalitarianism in bed, whoever is in power in money is a corrupt element
Li Guolou engaged in economic underworld, white way, business way, official road, and even the underworld, and even the underworld government sent money for him, and the wives in the family were still harmonious, and what should I do in the future, or follow the rules, and the post rotation system is also a good trick
"Why don't you light the lights in Xiaolou," Wu Peipei walked into the study in a heroic manner, and had already changed a set of clothes, the grandmothers in the outer mansion were full of noblewomen, and when they returned to the inner mansion, the grandmothers liked to wear Hanfu
"Oh, if you want to think about it, just sleep for a while," Li Guolou hugged Wu Peipei on the couch, he has the power to dominate the world, and the capital can be squandered at any time
"How do you know I want to," Wu Peipei took the opportunity to press Li Guolou down, first solve the physiological problems, and then talk about trivial matters in life
Huang Xiaoman shouted outside the window when he was in progress: "It's time to have dinner, we're starving, Mrs. Eight asked you to get down to business, why are you ashamed?"
After a few snorts, Wu Peipei said coquettishly: "Tenth Madame, don't worry, I'll tell Xiaolou later, you will have a banquet later."
"Tenth Madam, are you coming?" Li Guolou also tempted Huang Xiaoman, and his body kept moving
"If you don't come, take a look," Huang Xiaoman didn't hesitate to push open the door of the study, here she also has a chance every day, do you care about this time
After the wind and rain, Li Guolou sat on the couch, Huang Xiaoman brought hot water, wiped it with a towel for Li Guolou, and admonished: "Xiaolou, you have to take care of your body, don't confuse the fox spirit and live in egalitarianism."
"Well, I see, I don't like the old······ I really don't want to marry again, you have seen the situation in the family, and the desire is difficult to fill," Li Guolou has to think crankily every day, and he actually hopes for which lady Hongxing will come out of the wall, he has a good name, and kicks out the water-based Yang Hua Lady, with this kind of thought, it is like waiting for the rabbit hunter to spend every day in the loss, and the appearance of Qiu Xiang in his dream will make him laugh and wake up, and when he wakes up, he sees two yellow-faced women sleeping around, and there are many of them
Wu Peipei wiped the sweat beads on her face with a hot towel, lazily stuck to Li Guolou's body, and said coquettishly: "Xiaolou almost forgot to talk to you about business, they don't dare to tell you, or I'll report to you······"
A secret matter was finally revealed, how could the grandmothers squeeze into the street to live, and even built a manor in Balizhuang without Li Guolou, and it was a large French-style farm, saying that it was to realize the dream of the owner of the manor for Yelia
Although Li Guolou was shocked when he heard this, he still expected that spending money to invigorate the economy was the economic model he advocated and the construction of manors could drive the local economy, although it was for personal enjoyment, but it could promote the development of the national economy, and he did not approve of hiding silver in the cellar and miser, which was a harm to the national economy
After hearing this, Li Guolou did not lose his temper, but said suspiciously: "Eighth Madam, this Balizhuang land is more than 2,000 acres, and it is Bao and her widow Yesenia, how much did you spend to buy it from her?"
"Oh, it didn't cost much, Yelia agreed to build a villa for Yessenia, and in the future, I will marry her, we all support this idea, and we will be kind to you together, you and Yesenia should be in-laws," Wu Peipei said with a smile, and the businessman was proud
Li Guolou shook his head in disbelief and said, "It's not that simple, did you sell me?"
"Hmph, it's a year later, what are you anxious about" Wu Peipei didn't deceive Li Guolou, and kissed Li Guolou's mouth to prevent him from resisting
"How can this be reasonable, I will go to settle accounts with the foreign woman," Li Guolou broke free from Wu Peipei's arms and ran out, this chief's widow was also in his pocket, causing him to be in the land of injustice, and he was not collecting tattered little plums
"Hey, the wicked always want me to do what I want to do," Wu Peipei slowly dressed and didn't give Li Guolou a momentum to frighten her, which is a vivid proof of what kind of person Li Guolou is, she doesn't know yet
Huang Xiaoman threw his pants to Wu Peipei and said with a sly smile: "Yes, what kind of property do we want, and it is not our turn to let Xiaolou make trouble."
Wu Peipei's watery peach blossom eyes glared and scolded angrily: "Tenth Madam, don't you have less points, why don't you try it with another man?"
Huang Xiaoman smiled and said: "Relatively speaking, it's more than the top and the bottom, and I am ······ and I."
Huang Xiaoman couldn't think of anyone to envy her, and when she was thrown off her head full of hair, she laughed coquettishly
