Chapter 2 Honghualou

When there was a commotion at the entrance of the Zhenyuan Security Bureau, it was noticed on the second floor of Buzhuang not far away. A beautiful woman got up from behind the desk and went to the window to look at it.

The woman is wearing a waist-length skirt, a dark red cross-neck shirt on the upper body, which wraps a heavy breast, and the waist is just right to tie the waist. There are pressed skirts and green beads, and the skirt is a pale white pleated skirt; her eyes are like almonds, and her lips Lighted with vermilion rouge, coupled with an intellectual temperament, it is glamorous yet stable and mature.

Seeing Ye Jingtang who came to pick things up, the woman never got angry, her almond eyes, which were naturally charming, lit up instead:

"Heavy bones, godly Hantian temple utensils, mad, chivalrous, and gentle... Such a beautiful appearance."

The maid behind stood on tiptoe and looked at him from a distance: "Yeah, really handsome, but he doesn't seem to be able to use his brain well, and he doesn't touch the background when he kicks the hall. Do you want to say hello, lest Chen Biao hit too hard..."

bang——

After a soft sound, Chen Biao was held down, the street fell into silence, and the two women were dumbfounded.

"Father Pei Yuanfeng..."

When the clear voice came, the eyes of the beautiful woman changed from looking frivolously at the handsome guy to facing him squarely, and then showed the ardor of "a long drought meets nectar".

However, this kind of reaction was not because the beautiful woman had any unruly intentions towards Ye Jingtang.

The woman is called "Pei Sanniang", whose real name is Pei Xiangjun. She looks like a female family member of an ordinary merchant's family, but under this beautiful and gentle appearance, she has another identity-the contemporary helm of Honghualou, a wealthy family!

The Great Wei Dynasty was established for only a few days, but now the female emperor is in the court, there are powerful enemies in the north, and there are kings with ulterior motives in the interior. The chaotic situation gave birth to an unprecedentedly prosperous "river and lake".

Those who can be powerful in the upper reaches of the rivers and lakes can be called masters, and the "one immortal, two sages and eight great leaders" at the top of the masters are the 11 strongest people in the world, and even the imperial court must treat them with caution.

And Pei Cang, who is at the helm of Honghualou, is the "gun leader" among the eight leaders, ranking "seventh in the world", which shows the status of Honghualou in the world.

The leader of the gun, Pei Cang, is Pei Xiangjun's master, Pei Yuanfeng's biological father, and Ye Jingtang's god-father.

Pei Yuanfeng was originally the second son of the Pei family, with amazing talent since he was a child, but he had a dispute with his family and ran away from home, vowing not to be famous in the world and not to look back.

The result is self-evident, Pei Yuanfeng didn't have much reputation until his death, if he didn't teach Ye Jingtang real kung fu, it's not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't want Ye Jingtang to make the same mistakes again.

After Pei Yuanfeng's death, letting Ye Jingtang leave the house and enter Beijing was not a test of Ye Jingtang's character, but a "famous post" for the family.

Normal people would not be so 'respectful and trustworthy' as to listen to a dead man, give up their family business and become a homeless ronin.

But Pei Yuanfeng knew about Yejingtang, he did this only to let his family see this, so that Yejingtang could enter Honghualou and become the next helm and "gun leader" - this is what Pei Yuanfeng left for his son real legacy.

However, Pei Yuanfeng probably didn't expect that the Pei family is not doing much better than him now.

Pei Cang passed away many years ago, and the eldest son inherited the position, but died at the hands of his opponent.

Pei Xiangjun is a daughter, and her martial arts skills are not low, but she is far from the 'Eight Great Chiefs', and she can't afford to be the leader of the top giants in the world. As a result, the prestige of Honghualou has plummeted.

There are powers from outside the rivers and lakes annexing the wealth, and the main hall masters are seizing power inside. Pei Xiangjun's seat has long been unstable, and he even sent someone to secretly search for the whereabouts of the 'Second Master', hoping that he can come back to support the scene.

Pei Yuanfeng has been laid to rest, which is obviously bad news for the Pei family, but Ye Jingtang's "going home" has already brought a glimmer of life to the crumbling Pei family - the Pei family really needs a stunning talent right now 'Young Master', come to be the God of Dinghai, and suppress the internal and external troubles of Honghualou!
It was also because of this that Pei Xiangjun showed such a 'hungry and thirsty' expression after he found out that Ye Jingtang was very skilled and knew his identity.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang was about to leave without saying goodbye, Pei Xiangjun pushed up the window on the side of the street as he passed by the window, and pushed the pole down with his bare hands.

Dangdang~~~
Ye Jingtang, who passed by the street with his horse, raised his head, his eyes showed the reflection of the beauty by the window, but he didn't show the surprise like an ordinary man:

"Why are you so careless, girl?"

Pei Xiangjun has a very good appearance, very few men can stand still like a mountain when they see her. Seeing this, he couldn't help but secretly nodded, pretending to be displeased and said:

"No matter how old or young, my name is Pei Xiangjun. I'm your adoptive father's younger sister. Everyone in my family calls me Sanniang. You are the second brother's son. Why do you leave without saying hello when you come home?"

Stepfather's junior sister...

Auntie?

Ye Jingtang only knew from his adoptive father's letter that his adoptive father's family was in the capital, and knew nothing about it.

The adoptive father asked him to give all the family property to the Pei family. He is a dignified seven-foot man who gave the family property, so naturally he will not send others to live under the fence.

But it looks delicious soft rice...

That's even more inedible!
After Ye Jingtang figured out Pei Xiangjun's identity, he raised his hand and saluted:
"I met my aunt. My adoptive father asked me to bring my things. After finishing the work, I have to go to the Yamen to exchange for a talisman. After I settle down in Beijing, I will come to the house to pay a visit."

This remark was obviously a polite refusal, and he didn't want to come to the door.

But the big white bird standing on Ye Jingtang's shoulder was not so polite.

Hearing that they were relatives, the bird flew up to the window on the second floor very familiarly, stopped on Pei Xiangjun's sizeable chest, and opened his beak:

"Gee~"

This white-haired bird is a hunting bird of Yejingtang, and it is named 'White Prince' - the meaning of the white whore king - which is supposed to be a bird, but it grows into a ball.

Ye Jingtang didn't know exactly what species it was, but when he was young at home drying millet, this bird came to eat and drink, he caught it, and raised it.

I thought it was a 'Mountain Zerui Beast', but after raising it for so many years, I found that this big fat chicken has nothing special except that it can eat, sleep and be cute, and sometimes it likes to be stupid.

Just like now, I ran up to beg for food on my own initiative, and it didn't matter if it landed on the breasts of other women. The small claws were slightly sunk into the soft fabric. I guess they felt that the feet felt good, and they stepped back and forth twice. :

"Gee~"

It probably means—so soft~
This action made Pei Xiangjun blush, and quickly hugged the naughty bird down:

"Hey~ This bird is really sticky~"

Ye Jingtang looked embarrassed, and said:

"return."

"grumble……"

Then Niao Niao honestly flew down from the second floor and landed on Ye Jingtang's shoulder.

Pei Xiangjun stroked his skirt, and continued:

"You should just call me Sanniang. The aunt looks old. The second elder brother is also true. He accepted you as a foster son, but asked you to send the family business. If the Pei family accepts it, the neighbors will poke the spine. You Now that we are here, we are a family, so we don't need to look outside like this. You should take the money back, and you will be the young master of my Pei family in the future, and the escort agency outside will be assigned to you, how about it?"

Ye Jingtang sold the bodyguard agency in the border town and got more than 1000 taels of silver, which may not seem like a lot, but calculated according to purchasing power, it is about 100 million taels in the previous life, which is by no means a small sum for ordinary people; Escort, at least ten times the price.

A real man doesn't eat food that comes from you. For this kind of gift, Ye Jingtang directly declines:

"Thank you Sanniang for your kindness, but I will not disobey the arrangement of the will of the adoptive father. The relatives and friends of the adoptive father are my relatives and friends. If you need anything in the future, you can ask Yang Biaotou to let me know. Several The bodyguards are all old people in the family, and I hope Sanniang will treat them kindly in the future, so I will take my leave first."

Seeing that Ye Jingtang abides by his word and abides by righteousness and does not want to be rewarded for nothing, Pei Xiangjun favors him more and more, he doesn't force him to stay, and after a few more polite words, he watches Ye Jingtang leave.

Soon, one man, one horse and one bird merged into the crowd on the street and disappeared at the intersection.

Pei Xiangjun didn't smile until Ye Jingtang disappeared from his sight, and his smile slowly subsided, turning into deep thought.

The servant girl Xiuhe stood behind her, and only then did she raise her head, and said in a low voice:
"Lord, the second master sent us a baby bump? Young master Ye is so handsome, he just glanced at me and made my legs so tender..."

Pei Xiangjun narrowed his eyes slightly, a little displeased, but quickly nodded again:
"I really didn't expect that my second brother could take in such a handsome adopted son. I was so distracted when I saw it...Let's not talk about martial arts and character, just relying on this appearance, I can get along well in the capital."

Xiuhe giggled: "How talented is Young Master Ye? Did the landlord see the truth?"

Pei Xiangjun pondered seriously: "The breath is as chaotic as vines, but he has a majestic inner strength; his fists and feet are disorderly, but his muscles and bones are not inferior to dragons and tigers. The second brother should only give him a basic foundation, but did not teach him real kung fu. He is only this young. Waiting for the fire, it can be said that the sky is a genius, as long as someone is willing to teach real kung fu, it is not impossible to become famous in the Jianghu in just a few years."

There was a look of solemnity in Xiuhe's eyes: "Then what should we do now? Find a chance to talk to Young Master Ye about the affairs in the building, teach marksmanship to be the young master's training?"

Pei Xiangjun shook his head slightly: "Following the will and donating the family property thousands of miles away, he seems to be of good character, but he knows people and faces but doesn't know his heart. Kung fu is a killing skill, and it should not be passed on lightly; Honghualou has too much business, and I can't say anything about the future owner's choice." To make a decision, we still have to observe for a while."

"But Young Master Ye seems to have a tough personality, and he doesn't want to live in Pei's house under the fence. How do you observe?"

"Young people who are new to the rivers and lakes are all stubborn. I went to persuade them at night, and they softened..."

"Landlord."

"Ok?"

"That sounds weird..."

"?"
