Chapter 38
Ranfang Street, Shuanggui Lane.

The sun is rising in the east, and the golden rays are sprinkled on the melon racks with dewdrops, and the stars are crystal clear.

In the spotless courtyard, the orderly sound of cutting vegetables echoed:

dong dong dong...

The stunningly beautiful woman in a blue thin blouse is standing tall and graceful in front of the kitchen window, with the golden sun shining on her cheeks, her peach-blossom eyes are fascinated, after putting the chopped garlic sprouts into the porcelain plate, she looks up at the rising sun in the distance. sun.

Old small courtyard, three houses, cooking, planting flowers and plants every day, waiting for husband... no, waiting for son and daughter to come back, there is no sword, light and sword in the rivers and lakes, only a leisurely and peaceful life...

Maybe this is the life of ordinary people. Ordinary people have long been tired of it, but people in the Jianghu dream of it...

Step, step, step...

Just as he was turning around, soft footsteps appeared outside the courtyard, it sounded like Yun Li's voice.

Luo Ning withdrew her mind, looked in the blink of an eye, and saw Yunli, dressed as a little girl next door, running back from the outside, jumping over the fence and landing in the yard, a little anxious:
"Master, it's not good. I was wandering in the street just now and bumped into Protector Zhang..."

"Ok?"

When Luo Ning heard this, she slapped the kitchen knife in her hand.

The protector Zhang mentioned by Yunli is named "Nanshan Iron Gua" Zhang Henggu, who is a little Taoist boy of Dayan Qin Tianjian. When the previous dynasty was destroyed, he fled to Nanxiao Mountain with the royal family of Dayan. One of the four guardians of the Pingtian sect, the founder of the mountain, even the leader of the Pingtian sect had to be called a master.

Now that she suddenly ran to the capital, it could only be the leader of Pingtian who spoke, asking her to go back to Nanxiao Mountain.

Luo Ning pondered for a while, walked out of the kitchen and asked:
"Where is Protector Zhang?"

"Arrange a way to leave the capital at the east gate, and let me come and invite my wife to come over. She said that Zhou's birthday banquet will be delivered soon, and all the Zhou family's posts will be given away. The sword of my wife was made with the help of the Zhou family. If you have to attend, otherwise people in the world will say that my wife You are ungrateful, you forget your old friends when you marry into a wealthy family..."

When Luo Ning was still the 'Goddess of the Toad Palace', she went around looking for masters to avenge her family. She once went to Shuiyunjiantan. For her to build the famous soldier 'Weeping Water Sword' around her waist.

Later she married into Pingtian Sect and became the leader's wife. Naturally, this favor was on Pingtian Sect's head. The Zhou family didn't ask her to pay it back, but she really couldn't forget it.

"Didn't Mrs. Zhou celebrate her birthday in the middle of next month? I'm not in a bad position. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Zhang Hufa said that there may be friction between Zhou's family and Honghualou at this birthday banquet. There is a high probability that you will be involved in it. Master will discuss countermeasures with you and ask you to go back."

Luo Ning's original plan was to go directly to Zhou's house by boat from the capital in a few days. Anyway, the distance is not too far, so she will come back after a cutscene and continue to work on Qiu Tianhe's affairs.

Hearing this, he couldn't help frowning, and glanced at the hot food in the pot:

"The matter of saving Qiu Tianhe has already begun..."

Zhe Yunli patted the poached egg on his chest:

"Master, don't worry. I've already told Protector Zhang about the situation. I'll stay in the capital to accompany Brother Jing. Protector Zhang will take over and secretly control the situation. You can go back without worry..."

?

Luo Ning's eyes turned cold, and she looked at Zhe Yunli seriously:
"Nonsense! You are reckless and stay in the capital alone, how can I rest assured?"

Zhe Yunli blinked her eyes: "Guardian Zhang will protect me secretly, Hufa Zhang is much better than Master's Wife..."

"That's not OK."

Luo Ning either didn't leave or went together, how could she leave Yunli in front of Ye Jingtang, with that shameless little thief's temper, when she came back, Xiao Yunli might be pregnant...

Luo Ning pondered for a while, then walked back to the kitchen:

"Yejingtang is very talented. Seeing this, Hufa Zhang must try to find a way to bring it to Nanxiao Mountain..."

"Isn't that nice?"

"What's so good? I'm not a bandit at Pingtian Sect, and Ye Jingtang's ambition is in the officialdom, so I'd do my best to help. We forcibly drag him to Nanxiao Mountain as a traitor, is it plausible?"

Zheyunli pouted, wanting to say something, but it was not easy to refute.

"Hurry up, it will take more than half a month to go back and forth... I will talk to Ye Jingtang later, Ye Jingtang values ​​chivalry, we will help save Qiu Tianhe after we leave, we can just come back in a few days."

Zhe Yunli didn't quite believe it: "We're all gone, why should Brother Jing take the risk of beheading and help us save people?"

"..."

Luo Ning opened her mouth, but couldn't find a reason, so she could only calmly say:

"Master will persuade him well, you go and prepare with Protector Zhang first, and I will come later."

"All right……"

Zheyunli had no choice but to turn around and leave quickly...
-
Pei family.

Honghualou is very large and has a lot of affairs. Just to introduce the situation of various industries, the eight incense masters talked for a long time.

Ye Jingtang was also listening, but he didn't take it into his heart. He was helping the Pei family with errands. If Sanniang had something to do, he could just help out, and he didn't plan for the family business. It would be useless to memorize too much detail.

It was noon when the Qinglong Hall closed and all the incense masters left the tunnel.

Ye Jingtang climbed out of Sanniang's bed and fell into the boudoir, when he heard a soft "da da da..." sound from the door—the sound of claws kicking the door.

Ye Jingtang opened the door, and saw that the courtyard was silent, and the bird that had been hanging outside the door for most of the day, when it saw him, turned its head and looked away, making a small appearance of "heavy attention to sex and despise birds, I don't want to talk to you".

Pei Xiangjun came out from the curtain, and his demeanor became a gentle and gentle little woman again. He came to Ye Jingtang, hugged the angry bird in his arms, and praised:
"There is a man in charge of the family, but it's different. These incense owners are the elders of the family, and they are all loyal, but watching me grow up, they always regard me as a junior in their hearts, and I am not good at preaching. Come and teach me today. They behave properly, and it will be much easier to talk in the future.”

Ye Jingtang used to see Sanniang's adoring eyes and felt ecstatic, but after discovering that Sanniang is the 'Red God of Wealth', his feeling changed instantly.

You are the majestic female head of Honghualou, a well-known hero in the Jianghu, and you pretend to be a beautiful and pitiful lady who begs for protection in front of me?

But being worshiped by a strong woman seems to make people feel more elated...

Ye Jingtang was a little confused, thought for a while and responded:
"It's just a matter of duty, as long as Sanniang doesn't mind. It's getting late, so I'll go back first, and come back tomorrow morning to listen to Sanniang's arrangement."

"It's all about being the head of the house. Living outside is more common? Your aunt has cleaned up the east wing, so you can live at home from now on."

"The Pei family are all women's relatives. I am a man with a foreign surname. Living at home will inevitably cause rumors. Ranfang Street is not far from here. Sanniang can send someone to greet me at any time if she has arrangements."

Pei Xiangjun pinned all his hopes of revitalizing Honghualou on Ye Jingtang, so he naturally wanted to stay in front of him and get along with him day and night to cultivate feelings, but Ye Jingtang was so persistent, she couldn't force her to stay, so she had to say:

"I don't need your help with the matter of Tianshui Bridge. The most important thing for you now is to go to Juyi Building in a few days and help me calm down the hall masters. You go back and rest first, and I will fix the marksmanship later." teach you."

With that said, Pei Xiangjun walked to the dressing table, opened the small drawer, and took out a stack of bank notes from it, which seemed to be pocket money for Ye Jingtang.

Judging from the denomination of the bank notes, one offer is worth millions!

Seeing this scene, Ye Jingtang felt what it was like to be cared for by a beautiful and rich woman.

But as an upright and decent man, he would definitely not take gifts other than wages, so he cupped his hands and said:
"I'll go first, Sanniang should go to bed early."

Just went out the door.

"Hey?"

Just as Pei Xiangjun took out the banknote, he saw the backs of Ye Jingtang and Niao Niao hastily leaving, his eyes were rather helpless...
