The wheels ran over the green bricks and stopped outside the door of Pei Mansion.
Pei Xiangjun held the fluffy bird in his arms, like a good lady waiting for her husband to return, standing under the lantern and looking at it.
Seeing Ye Jingtang getting off the carriage, Pei Xiangjun smiled:
"Jingtang, how did things go? Yang Guan didn't embarrass you, right?"
"Sanniang, why are you waiting at the door?"
Night Terror went up the steps to the couch, raised his hand and touched the bird that he would enjoy more:
"It's not difficult. It took a lot of talking to explain the matter clearly to Yuan Wai Yang..."
"Ahem——"
Chen Biao and the two unfamiliar bodyguards who were unloading the carriage staggered when they heard this. They turned back to look at the Night Jing Hall, and they probably meant:
You said five sentences in total. Do you think this is a waste of words?
Yang Guan didn't make things difficult for you. Don't you know why?
The old followers Yang Chao, Liu Zi and others reacted indifferently.
After all, in their opinion, the young master's family really spent a lot of money today.
In a lawless border town, when encountering such a rogue, Shaodong's family would have said too much, turned around and left after beheading him.
Ye Jingtang ignored the looks of several people and continued to explain the matter gently, so as not to frighten Pei Sanniang, a womanly woman.
Pei Xiangjun followed her from beginning to end and watched, so naturally she was not frightened. She was like a well-behaved little woman. After listening to Ye Jingtang's words, she bit her lower lip and looked at her in admiration:
"It's amazing. It's different when there's a man in the house~"
The eyes of a stunningly beautiful woman showing admiration for a strong man are very lethal.
Ye Jingtang admits that he doesn't value fame and fortune, but under Sanniang's admiring eyes, he still feels a little bit arrogant, so he waves his hand in a very manly manner:
"It's just a little effort."
"I just discussed with your eldest aunt to let you be the young master of the Pei family. I will give you a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver. Don't you think it's too little?"
The young master is probably the deputy director of the Pei Group, with enough authority to open a bank; his monthly salary is a hundred taels of silver, which translates into a monthly salary of over 100,000 yuan.
This treatment is a bit exaggerated. Ye Jingtang would definitely feel bad if he accepted it. He shook his head and said:
"Sanniang said that men should earn their own living, and then she turned around and gave me this kind of treatment. The shopkeeper on the street will definitely not be convinced. Just pay me the salary of the head escort of the escort agency."
When Chen Biao heard this, he quickly shook his head: "Master Ye, you are really out of touch. You settled Yang Guan today, and you saved more than this amount of money. Besides, the bodyguard's twelve taels of silver a month will be placed with you."
What can you do with me? Master Pei will spend more than this money if he goes out for a drink..."
Pei Xiangjun also nodded and said: "Yes. Being a young master is not a cool thing. There are many occasions to go out and socialize. If you drink and listen to music with the officials' children in Wendeqiao, you can't even find money to reward girls. Wouldn't you fall into the Pei family?
Facade? This money is purely pocket money. I'm sorry for you. Just help the family with your heart."
Seeing this, Ye Jingtang stopped giving in:
"Then I'll listen to Sanniang's arrangements. Now that the affairs at Qinglian Village are over, are there any other things at home that I need to take care of?"
Pei Xiangjun has a lot of things going on - his eldest brother died in the Jianghu, and his title of 'gun leader' was taken away, and this revenge has not been avenged; many Jianghu forces are trying to grab money, but no one is stepping forward to calm things down; several hall masters in Honghua Tower are restless,
Keep putting pressure on her to give up.
But these are all Jianghu matters. It was still too early for Ye Jingtang to contact him, so he said with a smile:
"I have a bunch of shopkeepers, how can I let my boss take care of everything? It's raining today and there won't be much socializing. You should rest first and let Chen Biao take you around the capital."
As he spoke, Pei Xiangjun came closer, took out a banknote, and quietly stuffed it into Ye Jingtang's arms:
"They will all be your subordinates from now on. It is the young master's job to take them out to a restaurant for a drink if they have nothing to do."
When Chen Biao heard this, he became energetic and Ma Liu sent the horse back to the stable.
When Niaoniao heard about the restaurant, she immediately felt that Pei Xiangjun's embrace was no longer soft. She jumped on Ye Jingtang's shoulder and waved her wings at Pei Xiangjun: "Chi Chi Chi~" She was probably saying - Goodbye, big-breasted sister...
Ye Jingtang went inside first and changed into his regular clothes before setting off with a few escorts.
But when he was about to leave, Pei Xiangjun saw Chen Biao's treacherous smile and reminded him again:
"Chen Biao, don't take the place randomly. Jingtang has just come from outside and has never seen the colorful world of the capital. If you take Jingtang to be like Pei Luo..."
Chen Biao dropped his thief smile and pretended to be mature:
"Master, do you think I, Old Chen, look like that person?"
"Don't worry, Sanniang, I have my own sense of discretion."
After Ye Jingtang replied, he left the alley with a few of his men.
-----
Half an hour later, on the second floor of Chunxiang Pavilion.
A musician holding a pipa sang a melodious tune on the stage.
Three dancers in colorful clothes danced to the song with graceful figures.
Seven or eight vigorous escorts looked at the girl downstairs from the window with wide eyes, swallowing hard and not even willing to take a bite of the food.
Ye Jingtang sat in the box, changing glasses, while Niaoniao was shaking his head next to him. It felt like he drank more than Ye Jingtang did.
Chen Biao held the wine glass with both hands and toasted Ye Jingtang:
"Young master, you are really measured!"
Ye Jingtang was ordered to bring his men out for 'team building', so naturally it couldn't be too shabby:
"It's just to listen to music, not to go to a brothel. To be honest, the girls in the border are much worse than those in the capital. They are probably stronger than me. If I hadn't been good at martial arts, I would have been taken away to worship at the age of fourteen..."
Chen Biao blinked his eyes, came closer and said:
"Young Master, won't you still..."
?
Night Terror Hall is not easy to answer this question.
The drunk Yang Chao next to him answered:
"Look at your sharp eyesight. With your young master's appearance, if you go out to find a girl, the girl should give you money. How about you do this loss-making business?"
"That's right. In my opinion, the only girl who is suitable for the young master's family is the rich lady from Wende Bridge. The vulgar fans outside want to win over cabbage, but I will be the first to refuse..."
"hehe……"
Listen to music, eat and drink.
While several people were drinking and chatting happily, there was some noise in the street outside.
Tap tap tap——
The sound of large groups of infantry running.
Several people frowned, got up and went to the window to check, only to see many Forbidden Army and Hei Yamen arresters running in the rain, towards the Mingyu Tower area at the end of their field of vision.
"what happened?"
"With such a big movement, there is probably something going wrong in Prince Jing's Mansion. Many gangsters are imprisoned in the Black Yamen. I heard that many martial arts secrets are also collected in Mingyu Tower. There are often daring gangsters who commit crimes there.
, usually it stops within an hour.”
It was none of his business, so Ye Jingtang didn't pay much attention to it and continued to drink.
Wu Fu drank a lot, and the wine he drank was relatively high-quality, fragrant but not strong. For most of the day, no one drank it, and it was afternoon without realizing it.
After we had had enough wine and food, there was a sexy escort who even hinted that we should go to a "meat shop" for the next scene.
But Chen Biao knew the importance. He listened to the music and saw that the girl was fine. He dared to take the young master's family to a meat market. Sanniang was determined to kick them all out. In the end, he did not dare to speak to Ye Jingtang, and everyone dispersed.
When it got dark, Ye Jingtang returned to Dyefang Street with one person, one horse and one bird.
The banknote Sanniang gave me today is an advance payment for one month's salary. One hundred taels of silver is enough to rent a house for two to enter the compound. If I'm lucky, I might even be able to sell a maid who can warm the bed to relieve my boredom at night.
Although Ye Jingtang is not picky about where to live, he is not in the habit of deliberately enduring hardships. It rained all day and there was such a big hole in the house that he would definitely not be able to stay.
Ye Jingtang is back now, intending to pack up some things in the house and talk to the landlady about changing to a place with a better environment.
Squeak——
The old courtyard door without a padlock was opened, and the furnishings inside remained unchanged.
Ye Jingtang tied the horse under the eaves of the kitchen, put away his umbrella and came to the main house, pushed the door open and entered, still talking to Tuantuan:
"Be more honest from now on and don't get into women's arms..."
Niaoniao looked like he didn't hear anything, squatting on his shoulder and humming:
"Chi chi chi~..."
But the next moment, both humans and birds were silent.
The house had only four walls, and there wasn't much in it. Any changes could be seen at a glance - the hole in the roof was covered up by a raincoat.
But Ye Jingtang and Niao Niao didn't notice this and just stared blankly at the bed.
Under the double bed covered with dark gray sheets, there is a pair of cyan embroidered shoes embroidered with bamboo leaves neatly placed. A strange woman is sitting cross-legged on the bed, with her hair in a woman's bun, and a jasper hairpin stuck sideways. She looks like a
Young young woman.
The young woman's skin is extremely fair, with a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. Her eyebrows are like willow leaves in early February. Her cherry lips are not rouged, but they are naturally rosy and plump. Her face is cliché to describe it as Chinese beauty and heavenly fragrance, and she is more like coming to a farmhouse.
The fox fairy who repays a favor, or the fairy who marries into the Cowherd's family, has a somewhat earthly fairy-like beauty.
The young woman is wrapped in a light blue cloak. All she can see is her fair hands gathered on her abdomen, pinching the Ziwu Jue. Her posture is like a ****. She should be performing some kind of advanced martial arts. There is some fragrant sweat hanging on her forehead, and strands of it can be seen.
The mist rising from the hair bun is like having a high fever and getting ready.
"grumble?"
Niaoniao stood at the foot of the Night Terror Hall, tilting his head and looking at the bottom of the bed, as if he was looking for the steamer below.
The Night Terror Hall was so confused that he didn't even notice the young woman's appearance in this world. She only wondered if she had entered the wrong door.
But there is probably no other house with such a big hole in the roof in Beijing.
"Heroine?"
Night Terror Tang returned home and his nest was occupied, so it was impossible to turn around and go out. He called out at the door, but saw no response from the young woman. After thinking about it, he walked to the bed with the knife in hand.
Niaoniao, on the other hand, shrank his head and hid his head behind the door, looking frightened...
