Chapter 42 Is this a coincidence?

After the Qinglongtang meeting dissipated and Yejingtang left, Pei Xiangjun brought his maid, Xiuhe, to the residence of his sister-in-law Zhang Yulian, and recounted the situation just now.

"Although Jingtang is young, he does have the aura of being in charge. Now that the eight incense masters don't despise him anymore, as long as Jingtang becomes famous in the Jianghu, the chaos inside Honghualou will be settled..."

Wearing a goose-yellow skirt, Pei Xiangjun sat sideways on the carved soft couch, holding a needle and thread, embroidering a picture of "birds and birds playing in the water", and praised Ye Jingtang's performance in a soft voice.

Mrs. Zhang sat across from her, her face was a little calm when she heard the words, but she didn't have much joy, instead she had a faint sadness:
"No matter how well Jing Tang behaves, he is only the second uncle's adoptive son. He has no blood relationship with the Pei family, and he has never received half of the favor from the Pei family. It is friendship to help the Pei family, and it is his freedom not to help the Pei family. The Pei family can't say what."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what Jingtang is like."

Mrs. Zhang has also been the head wife for many years, and she has more experience than Pei Xiangjun. She sighed softly:
"Sanniang, there are some things I still have to say. People's hearts will change. With Jingtang's performance today, his wings will harden in the future, and you will definitely not be able to control it. You can't just rely on 'belief'. Words. You have to find a way to keep people's hearts."

"Jingtang is very chivalrous. The advantage is that he doesn't value fame and wealth, and the disadvantage is also the same. He wants to help the Pei family, and I will do my best if I don't say anything. If he doesn't want to help, how can I keep him?"

Helplessness flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes. Seeing that there was no outsider, she moved closer:

"What men like is nothing more than 'power, money, fame, and sex'. Jingtang is not greedy for money, power, and fame does not need to be given by the Pei family, so we can only start with the last one..."

Pei Xiangjun's embroidered bird paused, and raised his eyes:

"Sister-in-law mean to use a beauty trick? Jingtang looks better than ninety-nine out of ten women. I don't think there are many women in the world who can tie him down."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at Pei Xiangjun's figure:
"Naturally, ordinary women can't be tied down, but how can you be an ordinary woman? As the female head of the Honghualou, she looks very charming. There is a saying in the world, 'Love is worth less than four taels of chest', you must be two catties ? Can't tie a young man?"

? !
Pei Xiangjun's eyes were astonished, and he closed his bulging skirt a little, showing a little bit of shame:

"Sister-in-law! What nonsense are you talking about? You and I are from the same generation, and Jingtang calls me Shigu!"

"Master, what aunt?"

Mrs. Zhang said earnestly: "You are an apprentice of the Pei family, and Jing Tang is the adopted son of the Pei family. The relationship between the two of them is irreconcilable. Who would say that there is a problem when they become a husband and wife? You are an amazing talent, and your talent looks good. You are close to the water." Fighting, giving such a good boy to outsiders for nothing, do you think you are losing money? If I have a daughter, I will be betrothed to Jing Tang now..."

"Sister-in-law, don't mess with the mandarin ducks, it's so embarrassing to be self-defeating."

"I'm not kidding. If you can't let go, try to find a way to find someone in Honghualou. There are countless disciples in Honghualou, and there are many beautiful women. You have to pick one and send it to Jingtang to warm the bed and make quilts. If you don’t become a family, how can you guarantee that Jingtang will love Honghualou?”

Xiuhe, who was making tea and eavesdropping, puffed up her chest slightly, and "accidentally" touched the teacup and made a noise, almost coughing twice.

Pei Xiangjun didn't talk to the nympho Xiuhe, but he also knew that what the sister-in-law said was reasonable, after a little hesitation, he sighed:
"I'll check Jingtang's tone first to see if he intends to start a family."

Mrs. Zhang thinks that Pei Xiangjun is thin-skinned and embarrassed to drive a small car:

"Eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, if he doesn't want girls, he must have a serious illness. This kind of young boy is not like an old man who is used to the wind and moon. It's best to get started. As long as he 'pleases' a little, he will treat you like a darling. , obey you..."

"Hey~!"

Pei Xiangjun flicked his sleeves lightly, interrupting his sister-in-law's shameless words. Seeing that it was still early, he got up and said goodbye:

"I'll go over to find out, sister-in-law, don't be a matchmaker."

Mrs. Zhang shook her head and continued to embroider:

"You just don't want to lose face. When you regret it someday, don't blame your sister-in-law for not giving you any advice."

"I know, oh, it's really..."

……
-
Gollum...

Not long after, the luxurious carriage with the wooden sign of "Pei" drove past the old street of Ranfang Street.

The car curtain was lifted, and Xiuhe poked out her rather juicy cheeks, looking around on the street:
"Why does Master Ye live in such a shabby place? I have been in the capital for so many years, but I have never been here."

"Jing Tang's character is frugal. When he first entered Beijing, he had no money, so he stayed here."

Pei Xiangjun sat in the carriage and dressed up a bit. He was wearing a gorgeous goose yellow spring dress with a shawl on his shoulders and a little red rouge. Miss.

Although Pei Xiangjun has no intention of eating young grass, but as the sister-in-law said, she has nothing to do with Jingtang. The man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and Jingtang's appearance and conduct can't pick out the slightest flaw. , it is best to let nature take its course.

This trip is based on Tan Tan Jing Tang's tone, but for some reason, Pei Xiangjun just has a weird feeling of "self-recommended pillow mat".

When Pei Xiangjun was thinking about how to speak later, the roots of his ears moved slightly, and suddenly he heard a strange movement in the deep alley:
sough--

The sound of the sword stabbing straight out was accompanied by the words of men and women:
"Woman, wait a minute, don't, don't..."

"You keep running? Let's see how long you can run!..."

? !
Pei Xiangjun's eyes narrowed slightly, and he regained consciousness in an instant.

She didn't have much contact with Jingtang, but she understood Jingtang's character, the last time she pretended to kill Jingtang, Jingtang had no chance of winning, and she was calm in the face of danger, to be able to panic to this extent, what kind of powerful enemy did she have to encounter?
Swah——

But in a flash, the curtain of the carriage moved slightly, and Pei Xiangjun, who was sitting inside, had disappeared.

With just two ups and downs, Pei Xiangjun rushed over the deserted houses and landed in a completely new courtyard compared to what he saw last time.

tread--

Both feet landed smoothly, and Pei Xiangjun saw two people standing in the main room!

Jing Tang was standing on the right side of the table, with a flustered expression, still maintaining a posture of raising his hand to stop, looking at her in astonishment!

Opposite the table, there is a young woman with a waist like a willow, peach blossom eyes, willow eyebrows, and a face like an iceberg. Surprised by three points.

But this woman is obviously a bad comer!
The anger in the woman's eyes did not disappear, and she pointed the three-foot sharp blade in her right hand at Ye Jingtang. There were many marks from the sword on the ground and walls.

Pei Xiangjun's face was slightly cold, and he immediately wanted to rush in and hold down this daring female thief!

But as soon as he moved his feet, he saw the sumptuous meals on the table, and the birds squatting on the table watching a play...

There are two bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as half-drunk wine...

Taking a closer look, the woman holding the sword turned red and didn't even wear shoes...

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be flirting!

? ?
Pei Xiangjun froze in place, the calmness of the high position prevented her from losing color, but her face turned red, and she asked:
"Jingtang! You... this is?"
