After Li Guolou took the photos and signed his name, he left the lobby. Men and women were not allowed to be intimate with each other. He was not allowed to get too close to these women. Some of the support group were widows, which made Li Guolou cautious. A banquet was set up in Cuiyun Pavilion. Welcome newcomer Chu Xiangyu to join.

There was the sound of a ditty outside. Lovers were toasting everywhere. Li Guolou was sitting alone in the box, just waiting for the lovers to come back and have a banquet.

Zhen Yuhuan opened the door and walked in. She changed back into women's clothes in front of Li Guolou.

Li Guolou shook his head and said: "I've never seen anyone like you. I agreed to come over for tea on Friday. Forget it if I come today. Why are you singing down there? I will be interrogated by Mr. Bao tomorrow."

"It's fun. After I leave my job, I can play every day. Mike, it's a good place here. It's elegant and popular. In the future, you will form a club. What do you want to do? Let these official wives keep their ears open. I guarantee everything will go smoothly." Zhen Yuhuan changed her coat and took off her hat. She looked like a woman now.

"Anita, when I left at noon, weren't you still at Sansheng'an? Why did you come back so soon? Didn't you interrogate the prisoners?" Li Guolou felt strange. He arrested ten White Lotus believers. The interrogation of the case will be a big deal. Fei Zhouzhe. Zhen Yuhuan is the president of the Qingping Association and should not just give up and leave.

Zhen Yuhuan buttoned up her clothes. She sat down and said, "Mike, you are not interested in old nuns. Would I be interested? The White Lotus Sect does not suffer from scabies. We are only interested in people who hook up with foreigners. Do you understand? .”

Li Guolou's heart sank. He glanced at me and said, "Anita, maybe you want to hide next to me. Let's see if I am a British spy or a French spy."

"Yes. I want to hide it. None of your foreign girls are real. In my opinion, they are all spies." Zhen Yuhuan picked up the tea cup and filled Li Guolou with tea, and then poured it for herself. She sang like a liar. Dry mouth and tongue. Drink it all in one gulp.

Li Guolou hurriedly looked at the door and said hurriedly: "Anita, I am the meat on the board here. The person who has no say. If you say that to them, they will eat me."

"Oh, Mike, I've made a deal with you now. From now on, I will be the seventh child. But I will be in charge of things at home. I am a hundred times better than grandma in managing people." Zhen Yuhuan was forceful and suppressed others. She spoke loudly and deliberately let people outside hear.

"Oh..." Li Guolou had expected this move a long time ago. The family was in turmoil over this matter. It was agreed that as long as Zhen Yuhuan does not take the position of the first wife and the equal wife, other benefits will always be given to her. .

"Hmm..." Zhen Yuhuan didn't expect that the negotiation went so smoothly without any resistance. He glanced at Li Guolou and put his mouth close to him. He rewarded him with a mouthful. He said in a gentle tone: "I guess you are sensible. The day after tomorrow will come. Move me."

"Ah..." Li Guolou couldn't sit still. He stood up and looked at Zhen Yuhuan. He still refused to let him live. He promised to have a meal, and then it turned into a big show together. Now it's about to change again.

"Mike, why are you in such a hurry? Sit down and drink tea. The seats for eight people are now full. We can drink, chat and sing in peace. Let you take the lead in the future. Why are you holding the same stinky foot? We can directly deal with Prince Gong. I will do it for you. You arrange it." Zhen Yuhuan said while pouring water. He taught Li Guolou how to treat people as unkind people. That's why he did such a bad job.

Li Guolou touched his nose. He had eaten soft food like this. He put his arms around Zhen Yuhuan's waist and burst into tears. He said: "Yuhuan, you are willing to pay so much for me. I really didn't expect it. I will work hard in the future. I I want to build a big house in the British Concession so that you can live like a queen."

"Huh, Mike, are we allowed to be neighbors with Li Lianying in the future?" Zhen Yuhuan was extremely dissatisfied. A piece of the land that Li Guolou bought in the British Concession was given to the imperial eunuch Li Lianying. Such a small move behind the scenes has long been dismissed. She investigated and found out.

Li Guolou stared at Zhen Yuhuan with some fear. He stammered: "You also know this." The land he gave to Li Lianying was transferred in the name of Li Lianying's brother. He did not expect that the things he did in the British Concession would also be celebrated. People from the Ping Society investigated it.

"Hmph. Mike, don't hide anything from me. Write me a detailed list of your family's assets on Friday. Don't play tricks. I will check it." Zhen Yuhuan started to get angry again, staring at Li Guolou. Like staring at a prisoner.

"Hey, now I know why Prince Gong doesn't want you." Li Guolou saw through that Zhen Yuhuan was a person who couldn't afford to suffer. "Mike, you are so stupid." Zhen Yuhuan pinched Li Guolou's waist and frowned fiercely. He angrily said: "What do I do? The Qingping community is extremely rich. It is thriving in my hands. I will retire next year. I will not take the opportunity to make a big profit. How much public money has been spent? It is not your home." .I am expert in Western architecture. The design and construction of houses in the British Concession will be under my unified command. You will be the hands-off shopkeeper."

The two of them actually had the same thoughts. They were full of fear about the direction of the Qing Empire. They were afraid that one day the government would settle accounts in the future. They stayed in the capital and lived a low-key life. They moved their possessions and wealth to the British Concession. This is the social atmosphere at this time. No matter how big it is, Officials were also afraid of having their homes confiscated and annihilated. Since the Qing Dynasty had concessions, there was a paradise for hiding assets. Officials had the confidence to make desperate efforts.

National pride hates concessions very much. But for their own interests, officials chose concessions for their property and retirement. The reality is so sad. The princes, ministers and even princes did this. These people in power left a way out for themselves. .

(After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, no officials confiscated their homes and exterminated their clans. This was something unimaginable in the past dynasties. It meant that there were no reactionaries. It was not because of how merciful the National Government was, but because of the existence of concessions. The princes and nobles who declined in the Qing Dynasty were in the Kuomintang period. They still lived a life of fine clothing and fine food. Even several presidents of the Nationalist Government retired in the Tianjin Concession after they stepped down. This even lasted until the Japanese invaded.)

Li Guolou chuckled and said, "Anita, do you really want me to leave you alone?"

"Little bastard, I'll reward you with some sweets." Zhen Yuhuan rewarded Li Guolou as a habit. The tip of his tongue was stirring as the two kissed selflessly.

The door was pushed open. Li Guolou and Zhen Yuhuan continued to be affectionate and affectionate without any scruples. They hugged each other and taught Xie Liya how to be bad.

"They are coming up soon." Xie Liya closed the door and went up to cause trouble. She hugged Li Guolou and kissed her cheek.

Li Guolou hugged him from left to right, letting his two lovers fall in love with him. He changed his attitude whenever he wanted. He pushed the two lovers away and said sternly: "Don't do it. Today is Chu Xiangyu's place. You are not allowed to make trouble. Anita. Eat." Go back early after dinner."

"Oh..." Zhen Yuhuan was still filled with emotion. She looked at the little man beside her. It's good to be young. She has also become younger. The age on the official website is less than thirty years old. She can still spend her youthful years. Twenty years later, the greedy Zhen Yuhuan is full of tricks. She will get drunk and go crazy later and stick to Li Guolou.

The banquet has not yet started, and Zhen Yuhuan starts to pour and drink by herself. She lies beside Li Guolou and coos. She is a veteran among the flowers. Li Guolou's heart is like a mirror. He knows all the tricks used by lovers. He enjoys it and enjoys the boundless love.

Yingying Yanyan walked in laughing and joking. When Chen Xiangfang saw the battle, she knew what Zhen Yuhuan was up to. She curled her lips and refused to argue with Zhen Yuhuan. She sat next to Chu Xiangyu and temporarily gave up her seat as the principal wife to Zhen Yuhuan. .

Chu Xiangyu looked at Li Guolou pitifully. She couldn't even sit next to Li Guolou. This was something she asked for.

This family is divided into hierarchies based on power and status. Chen Xiangfang is the head wife and other grandmothers have to give her face and bribe her with money.

Xie Xiuzhu, Yelia is rich. Even Li Guolou has to look at the eyes of these two grandmothers. Xie Liya pretends to be cute and innocent and has a place. The example of hard work is Zhen Youzi. Chu Xiangyu has no money and no power. In this The family is only at the mercy of others.

In the era of three wives and four concubines, a woman's status in a family was reflected by the power of her husband's family. Beauty was secondary. Those Jis who were good at singing and dancing had no status in the family. The same was true for the harem of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. The most beautiful women in the country could not even get a position as a concubine. The Ministry of Internal Affairs selected women not based on beauty, but based on the woman's family status. In the feudal society, the Qing Dynasty did the best. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, It has been continued since the beginning. The people imitated the royal family and continued the tradition in the same way.

Li Guolou turned a deaf ear to the intrigues between lovers and acted selflessly. He spent time every day to make his lovers happy. He was young and energetic and could deal with his lovers' cries and complaints calmly.

Seeing Chu Xiangyu's sad expression, Li Guolou stood up, walked to Chu Xiangyu, put his arm around her waist, and said, "Xiangyu is a good girl. She is willing to follow me and endure hardships all her life. I will do well." Treat her. Don't bully her. From now on, Xiangyu will be the Sixth Grandma. You must work together to make our family bigger and stronger. I vow not to look for women again. You have seen it yourself. I have never taken the initiative to hook up with a woman. "

"You can eat randomly at Xiaolou, but you can't talk nonsense." Chen Xiangfang was the first to jump out to protest. Her sharp eyes seemed to eat Li Guolou.

The man who had made a start. The other lovers fought back and exposed Li Guolou's background. Li Guolou smiled and ate by himself, enjoying the happiness of his family. He didn't need to pick up the dishes. Someone would pick up the dishes he liked on the plate. he.

Family gatherings are such a habit. His lovers are also used to sharing Li Guolou. They seem to be getting along well. This is their mutual choice. No one is forcing them.

This family banquet should be for Chu Xiangyu to succeed. But Zhen Yuhuan stole the limelight. Zhen Yuhuan, who is well-spoken, seizes power through a family banquet. She is good at controlling the scene and has great fame. She can read people accurately. What kind of family is this? The person you want to win over is someone you already know very well.

"Jelia, I made an agreement with Mike. I will be in charge of the house in the British Concession. Don't pay attention to the land next to him. Let that little plum come up with the money himself. That little plum is good at collecting money but bad at doing things. Don't believe that little guy's boast. I'm going to the British Concession at the beginning of next month. Let's go together." Zhen Yuhuan specializes in one person. He picked it up easily and got close to Yelia within a few rounds.

Li Guolou did not refute Zhen Yuhuan. He gave Li Lianying a piece of land. He had already spent a lot of money. Everyone knew what to do in the future. Only when there is a reward will they continue to pay. The accumulation of time is the standard for judging people. The road is the path people take. . He helped his brother "Xiao De Zhang" rise to power and let Xiao De Zhang follow Li Lianying. Now he has two brothers in the palace.

"Mike." Zhen Yuhuan, who was drunk, hugged Li Guolou and became excited. It seemed that he didn't recognize anyone else.

"Okay, little baby. If you don't want to go home, just come back with me." Li Guolou supported Zhen Yuhuan. He was ambitious and ready to go all the way to Huanglong. In his family, egalitarianism meant having a lover on both sides of his pillow.

"Mike, you are evil." Zhen Yuhuan sat on Li Guolou's lap in a grand manner. This was an unsolvable trick. She once asked the British Minister Justin Lear to betray intelligence.

The banquet was almost over. Chen Xiangfang took a wine glass and Xie Xiufang stood up with a bottle of red wine. A group of women's soldiers went to toast the guests. Li Guolou watched them leave with a smile. He had a flexible mind and used his lovers to spread the word for him. Way to make money.
