Due to the fact that the four foreign teachers have to worship, the whole school must rest on this day, and if the students are at home or do not want to go home, most of them cross the Haihe River and go to the Zizhulin concession opposite to have fun.

Li Shirui, the head of the shed, invited Zhao Guanhou to accompany him, saying that he knew that in the purple bamboo forest, there were several small Western clubs open to China, and there were dancers in them, and if they looked suitable, they could stay overnight. Zhao Guanhou knew that he had a heart, after all, among the students, everyone was a small rice and vegetarian dish every day, only he ate and drank in the small canteen every day, enjoyed the teaching treatment, and said it in front of the foreign teacher, he wanted to please himself, for this kind of kindness, he was very grateful, but the invitation, or refused.

Another person who is closer to him is Feng Huanzhang, who was overturned by Pang Yulou, this person's family is poor, and he goes to the martial arts academy for free food and lodging, and if he performs well, he can get an allowance. On his days off, he still sat in the camp and refused to go anywhere.

When everyone went out, Feng Huanzhang whispered to Zhao Guanhou: "Brother Zhao, that Western club is not a good place, I have heard people in my hometown say that Gentle Township is a hero's mound, no matter how good you are, if you are obsessed with beauty, you will only be defeated and will die." Those Western women are all magician, specializing in charming minds, Li Shirui is fascinated by such people, and he is unwilling to pay attention to his studies, I think it will be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future. You, unlike him, can do great things in the future, so why waste your time on such things. ”

As he spoke, he opened the notebook and took out another pencil, "Brother Zhao, I have already written down the Prussian language you talked about yesterday, please take advantage of today to teach more." These people are too stupid and not very attentive, and you take care of their progress, but I am a little uncomfortable. ”

Zhao Guanhou ignored his words, but changed his clothes, and casually dropped a piece of silver tael, "Huanzhang, your heart to learn is good, but I don't have the heart to accompany you to study." I'm still waiting for me at home, I haven't seen my daughter-in-law for a few days, and now I'm at home, so let me go home and enter the hero's grave quickly. There is no fire in the big canteen today, you will be hungry for a day if you stay here, I have two taels of silver, you can take it and buy food, and then find a place to play. Even if you don't go to the Western club, you can go and see something else, don't be stupid after all. After saying this, he patted Feng Huanzhang on the shoulder again as encouragement, and then ran out like a smoke.

Looking at his back, Feng Huanzhang raised his hand and wanted to shout, but finally swallowed the words back into his stomach. first put away the piece of broken silver, and then put away the spread book, shook his head a little disappointed, and said to himself: "Children are long, and they are not a person who does big things after all." ”

Zhao Guanhou didn't care what Feng Huanzhang thought, and when he left Tucheng, he didn't rush home first, but went all the way to the antique shop in Jinmen. If he wants to be promoted, he must do a good job of these foreign teachings, and the most ideal is to find himself a position that is leisurely and close to home, and has some authority.

Now Yuan Weiting has the Prussian Bassens by his side, who is the head of the Prussian advisers, and his status is very high, and his words in front of him are extremely weighty. If you can let Basens mediate on his behalf, it won't be difficult to find a good deal.

Of course, it is too difficult for him to see Bassens directly, and he has to rely on a few foreign teachers to collude and run up and down, and their benefits cannot be lacking. In fact, there is no difference between a few teachings and gold people, and their hobbies are always inseparable from wine and wealth. They have a monthly salary of 300 taels, which is considered to be wealthy, but ordinary things can't help. But Qi Kaifen's deceased wife is said to be an archaeologist, and he was influenced by his wife to be extremely fond of antiques, and if he could find a few good antiques to give, it would be better than giving anything.

That set of Jin Shengzong's tableware was a gift from Shigege to himself, and he couldn't pass it on to others, but finding a few pieces of cultural play for Qi Kaifen could be effective. And he can only be regarded as a hobbyist, but he is not a master, and he has limited knowledge of the advantages and disadvantages of truth and falsehood, as long as he can fool him, it may not cost a lot.

Zhao Guanhou chose an antique shop called Tianbao Zhai in Jinmen, and the relationship of this shop is said to be able to lead to the palace, and there are indeed many good objects in his hands. The wealthy family of Tianjin has a lot of dealings with him, and the business is very big. Because of its relationship, it has driven a lot of small shops in the surrounding area to sell antiques, and even some small traders put their stalls on the side of the road.

As soon as he walked to the corner of the street, he saw many people in a circle, and there were high and low shouts and curses, mixed with women's voices, and it seemed that a man and a woman were arguing. He took a few steps inside and heard a man scolding loudly

"Where did you come from, this woman, to be a pheasant and dare to be presumptuous in front of me? If you don't listen and listen, is my iron-headed king always easy to bully? If you don't compensate my heirloom today, you don't want to leave, even if the lawsuit reaches Jinmen County, I am not afraid. ”

And a woman's voice screamed, "Nong has something to say, don't pull and pull, Allah is a dignified champion lady, and Nong dares to do it?" If it was the day when Master Allah was still there, a business card would have been sent to the yamen to be displayed to the public. If you break a broken vase, it will cost five hundred taels of silver, why don't you grab it? "I spoke with a strong southern accent, and when I heard it, I wasn't from the Northland.

Zhao Guanhou and the others got closer, but saw that the place where the quarrel took place was a small antique stall on the side of the road, a vase on the ground was shattered, and a leprosy in his twenties was born, holding a woman's hand and refusing to let go.

The woman was dressed in a snow-white Western lady's gown, with a small white hat on her head, and white silk gloves of the same color, which covered her hands and forearms. Holding an umbrella in one hand and a Western lady's leather bag in the other. Underneath is wearing a pair of high-heeled leather shoes that are very rare nowadays, a fashionable Western dress.

The man's hand grabbed the woman's hand holding the purse, and scolded in his mouth, "Mrs. Zhuangyuan? If you are the champion lady, my special mother is the champion! Let me tell you, my family is young, and they expect me to sell this vase for money to buy food, and you will kick me to pieces, and I can't let go without giving an explanation. ”

"Nong...... Nong a green skin! The woman saw that he was very dishonest in holding her hand, and she dragged herself into his arms, intending to embarrass herself in front of everyone. In addition, he was wearing high heels on his feet, and it was not easy to stand firm, so in a hurry, he raised his parasol and knocked on the leprosy head.

As soon as the umbrella went down, the leprosy immediately fell to the ground, his mouth and eyes were crooked, and his mouth was foaming at the mouth. In the crowd of onlookers, three or four big men rushed out, surrounded the woman, and shouted: "What a bold man, in broad daylight, he dares to commit murder, in your eyes, is there still a royal law?" Don't even think about going anywhere today, come with us to the county yamen to make it clear and come with us. ”

The men were strong, and as soon as they snatched the parasol from the woman's hand, they took her by their hand and walked towards the street. But

As soon as he walked out of the crowd, Zhao Guanhou walked over head-on, blocking the way of the group.
