wait a minute

Chapter 9

grumbling-

The wheels ran over the blue bricks and stopped outside the gate of Pei's mansion.

Pei Xiangjun hugged the fluffy bird, standing under the lantern like a lady from a good family waiting for her husband to return.

Seeing Ye Jingtang get off the carriage, Pei Xiangjun smiled:

"Jing Tang, how are things going? Yang Guan didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

"San Niang, why are you waiting at the door?"

Ye Jingtang stepped up the steps, and raised his hand to touch the bird that he enjoyed more than he could:
"It's not difficult. It took a lot of talking before I explained the matter clearly to Yuanwai..."

"Cough-cough-"

Chen Biao, who was unloading the carriage, and the two unfamiliar escorts staggered when they heard the words, and looked back at Ye Jingtang, probably meaning:

You said five sentences in total, do you call this exhausting your tongue?
Yang Guan didn't make things difficult for you, don't you know the reason?
The old attendant Yang Chao, Liu Zi and the others responded flatly.

After all, from their point of view, the Young Master's family had really exhausted their tongues today.

In the lawless border town, when encountering this kind of rogue, the young master would say too much, so he turned his head and left after beheading.

Ye Jingtang ignored the eyes of several people, and continued to gently explain the process of the matter, so as not to be frightened by a woman like Pei Sanniang.

Pei Xiangjun followed and watched from the beginning to the end, and naturally she would not be surprised. 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 to have a man in the family~"

The stunning beauty showed her eyes of worshiping the strong, which was very lethal.

Ye Jingtang thinks he doesn't value fame and fortune, but under Sanniang's adoring eyes, he still feels a little bit unsteady, so he waved his hand masculinely:

"It's just a hands-on effort."

"I discussed with your aunt just now, let you be the young owner of the Pei family, and give you a monthly salary of one hundred taels of silver, don't you think it's too little?"

The young boss is probably the deputy director of Pei Group, with enough authority to open the bank; the monthly salary is one hundred taels of silver, which is converted into a monthly salary of one hundred thousand.

This treatment is a bit exaggerated, Ye Jingtang must be guilty if he accepts it, he shook his head and said:
"San Niang said that a man should earn his own living, but she turned around and gave me this kind of treatment. The shopkeepers on the street must not be convinced. Let's pay according to the salary of the head of the escort agency."

Hearing this, Chen Biao shook his head quickly: "Young Master Ye, you are really out of touch. You can save more than that by flattening Yang Guan today. In addition, the head of the escort is 12 taels of silver a month and put it on you What can you do? Young Master Pei went out for a drink, and it cost more than this money..."

Pei Xiangjun also nodded and said: "Yes. It's not cool to be a young master, and there are many occasions to go out to socialize. If you drink and listen to music with the officials and children of Wende Bridge, you can't get money by rewarding the girl. Wouldn't you fall into the Pei family? Appearance? This silver is purely pocket money, you are really embarrassed, just help the family with your heart."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang stopped giving way:

"Then follow Sanniang's arrangement. The affairs of Qinglianzhuang are over, do you have other things at home that I need to take care of?"

There are a lot of things about Pei Xiangjun - the eldest brother died in the Jianghu, the title of "gun leader" was taken away, and this revenge was not avenged; Keep pressuring her to step aside.

But these are all affairs of the rivers and lakes, and it was too early for Ye Jingtang to get in touch, so he said with a smile:

"There are a lot of shopkeepers under my command, how can I let the boss come forward for everything. It's raining today, and there is no socializing, you should rest first, and let Chen Biao take you around the capital."

Speaking of which, Pei Xiangjun leaned closer, took out a bank note, and quietly stuffed it into Ye Jingtang's arms:
"From now on, they will be your subordinates. Taking them out for a drink if they have nothing to do is also the job of the young master."

When Chen Biao heard this, he regained his energy, and Ma Liu sent the horse back to the stable.

When Niao Niao heard that she was going to the restaurant, she instantly felt that Pei Xiangjun's arms were not softening, so she jumped onto Ye Jingtang's shoulder, and waved her wings at Pei Xiangjun: "Chi Chi Chi ~" I guess she was saying—bye bye sister...

Ye Jingtang went into the room and changed back to his regular clothes before setting off with a few bodyguards.

But when he was about to leave, Pei Xiangjun saw Chen Biao's wicked smile, and reminded him again:
"Chen Biao, don't mess with the place. Jing Tang just came from outside, and he has never seen the world of the capital. If you make Jing Tang look like Pei Luo..."

Chen Biao put away his wicked smile, pretending to be old-fashioned:

"Master, do you think my old Chen looks like that guy?"

"Don't worry, San Niang, I have my own measure."

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.

The musician holding the pipa sang melodious ditties on the stage.

Three dancers in colorful clothes dance with the song, with graceful figures.

Seven or eight bodyguards, who were fierce and fierce, looked at the girl downstairs from the window with wide eyes, swallowing, not even willing to take a bite of food.

Ye Jingtang sat in the private room, pushing glasses to change, while Niao Niao shook his head beside him, feeling like he drank more than Ye Jingtang.

Holding the wine glass in both hands, Chen Biao made a toast to Ye Jingtang:
"Young master, you really have a sense of proportion!"

Ye Jingtang was ordered to bring his men out to 'team building', so naturally it can't be too shabby:

"It's all about listening to a song, and it's not like going to a brothel. To be honest, the girls at the border are much worse than those in the capital. They are probably stronger than me. If I didn't know martial arts, I would have been robbed and worshiped at the age of 14..."

Chen Biao blinked his eyes, approached and said:
"Young master, you won't be..."

?

Nightmare is not very good at answering this question.

Yang Chao, who was drunk next to him, answered:

"Look at your sharp eyesight. With the appearance of the young master's family, if you go out to find a girl, the girl should pay you back. This loss-making business, do you want to do it?"

"That's right. In my opinion, the only girl who matches with the young master's family is the daughter of Wendeqiao. The vulgar fans outside want to win cabbage, and I will be the first to refuse..."

"Ha ha……"

Go to the bar to listen to music, eat and drink.

While the few people were drinking and chatting happily, there was a little noise in the street outside.

Tread-tap-

The sound of a large group of infantry running.

A few people frowned, got up and went to the window to check, but they saw many captors of the imperial army and the black government running in the rain, and the direction was the Mingyu Tower at the end of the field of vision.

"what happened?"

"There is such a big commotion, it is estimated that there is something wrong with Prince Jing's mansion. There are many gangsters imprisoned in the black yamen. I heard that there are also many martial arts cheats in the Mingyu Tower. There are often daring gangsters who commit crimes there. , it usually stops within an hour.”

It had nothing to do with him, and Ye Jingtang didn't pay much attention, and continued to drink.

The martial artist has a lot of alcohol, and the wine he drank was relatively high-quality, fragrant but not strong. For most of the day, no one drank it down, and it was afternoon before he knew it.

After drinking and eating, there was a seductive bodyguard who also hinted in words that he would go to the 'meat market' to pick up the next game.

But Chen Biao knew the seriousness, listened to the song and saw that the girl was fine, and dared to take the young master's family to the meat place, but Sanniang definitely kicked them all out, and in the end he didn't dare to talk to Ye Jingtang, and everyone dispersed.

When it was getting dark, Ye Jingtang once again returned to Ranfang Street alone.

The bank note that Sanniang gave today was an advance payment of one month's salary, one hundred taels of silver, enough to rent a couple into the compound, and if you were lucky, you might even be able to buy a little maid who could warm the bed to relieve boredom at night.

Although Yejingtang was not picky about where he lived, he didn't have the habit of deliberately enduring hardships. After a rainy day, the house had such a big hole that it would definitely be impossible for him to settle down.

Ye Jingtang came back now, and was going to tidy up some things in the house, and tell the landlady to change to a better place.

squeak-

The old courtyard door without a padlock opened, and the furnishings inside remained unchanged.

Ye Jingtang tied the horse under the eaves of the kitchen, put away the umbrella and came to the main house, opened the door and entered, still talking to Niao Niao:
"Be more honest in the future, don't get into a woman's arms for nothing..."

Niao Niao pretended not to hear, squatting on her shoulders and humming:
"Chi Chi Chi ~..."

But the next moment, both the man and the bird were silent.

The house is bare and there are not many things. Any changes can be seen at a glance-the hole in the roof is covered by a coir raincoat.

But Ye Jingtang and Niao Niao didn't notice this, they just stared blankly at the bed.

Under the double bed covered with dark gray sheets, a pair of blue embroidered shoes embroidered with bamboo leaves were placed neatly.A strange woman, sitting cross-legged on the bed, with her hair in a bun, and a jasper hairpin inserted obliquely, looks like a 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 the early spring of February, the cherry mouth is not rouged, but it is naturally rosy and plump, and her face looks clichéd to describe it as a national beauty, more like coming to a farmhouse The fox fairy who repays the favor, or the fairy who marries into the Cowherd's family, just has a bit of fairy flavor beyond the world.

The young woman was wrapped in a light blue cloak, and she could only see her white hands folded in her abdomen, pinching the Ziwu formula, her posture was like an expert outside the world, she should be performing some kind of advanced martial arts, and there was a little fragrant sweat on her forehead, which could be seen Water mist rose from the bun, as if a high fever was about to ripen.

"grumble?"

Niao Niao stood at the foot of Ye Jing Tang, tilted her head and looked at the bottom of the bed, as if she was looking for the steamer below.

Ye Jingtang was baffled, he didn't even pay attention to the young woman's appearance in the world, and only wondered if he had gone to the wrong door.

But with such a big hole in the roof, it is unlikely that there will be a second one in the capital.

"Woman?"

Ye Jingtang's home nest was occupied, and it was impossible to turn his head and go out. He called out at the door, but the young woman did not respond. After thinking about it, he walked towards the bed with a knife in his hand.

Niao Niao shrunk her head, hid behind the door and poked her head, looking frightened...
