No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 429 The all-rounded Pei Shisanniang

"What? The rent for the next two years will be completely free and we won't be charged any more?"

The bearded man's jaw almost dropped in shock, and he checked again with Landlady Chen, who was smiling brightly in front of him.

Landlord Chen nodded immediately:

"That's right, not only your father and daughter's house, but also the entire yard, you don't have to pay the rent for the next two years. You two can stay here, but the other tenants will be notified tomorrow to move out and make room. You two can The accommodation is more spacious.”

He nodded and bowed:

"The younger one has been neglecting Brother Huang before and doesn't recognize a good man. I'm really sorry. I also hope that the elder brother and your daughter will be happy."

The bearded man and the little girl in the red coat looked at each other.

While Landlord Chen was talking, Pei Shisanniang stood aside and looked at the Huang family father and daughter with a smile. During this period, she adjusted the purple and gold silk hanging on the floor at the crook of her lower arm so that it would not touch the muddy ground of this old courtyard. .

She smiled kindly and reached out to touch the head of the little girl in the red coat behind the bearded man.

Huang Xuan subconsciously retreated and hid.

Pei Shisanniang was not annoyed and took her hand back calmly.

The bearded man asked in surprise: "Mr. Chen, why are you exempting the rent for two years and... giving us the whole yard..."

Landlady Chen was silent and turned to look at Pei Shisanniang beside him.

Pei Shisanniang looked away from Huang Xuan, looked at the bearded man, and suddenly asked:

"What do you call Brother Huang?"

"I don't dare to be the eldest brother." The bearded man scratched his head in embarrassment: "My surname is Huang and my name is Feihong. I am the eldest in the family. You can also call me Huang Da. This is the little girl. Her name is Xuan. Just call her Xiaoxuan. .”

"Okay, Brother Huang." Pei Shisanniang smiled and nodded: "Actually, it's not just this room. Landlord Chen is so generous. How can I be stingy?"

She spread a palm flat to her side, and a burly guard behind her took something out of his arms, lowered his head and handed it to her, placing it in her hand.

Huang Feihong and Huang Xuan looked intently, and saw a bunch of brass keys with copper rings lying on the palms of their hands wearing jade bracelets. They saw her kind face and said softly:

"This is the key to the large house facing the street at the entrance of the alley, two hundred feet west. The slave family has just arrived in Xunyang. It is not as good as in Yangzhou. There are not many things to take away. This house is a little bit of the slave family. Please invite Brother Huang and Xiaoxuan must accept it and don’t be polite to the slave family.”

"This...this gift..."

Huang Feihong's eyes widened and he was speechless.

Huang Xuan, who was hiding behind her father, also tilted her head out and looked at the sudden lady and the copper key in her hand with her mouth wide open.

After a while, she suddenly asked: "Isn't the big house facing the street at the entrance of the alley the house of Mr. Li's wife?"

Pei Sanniang said lightly: "Oh, Mr. Li just moved out today. Now it belongs to you. Don't worry, Xiaoxuan. This is a private gift from the slave family. It is not malicious... By the way, I almost forgot the house deed."

She suddenly patted her forehead and smiled helplessly:

"I came in such a hurry. The house deed is still in the big house and I have to ask you to sign it. It's just right. Let's go there later and take a look at what's missing in the new house. We can tell you on the spot that the slave family will buy everything properly. I promise you both. A comfortable stay.”

The father and daughter of the Huang family were a little confused when pie fell from the sky. They looked at each other frequently, but they did not move immediately.

But I wanted to be alert to see if there was a scam, but when I looked around at my dilapidated yard, I was suddenly brought back to reality.

The family has only four walls. They and the courtyard together may not be as valuable as the purple and gold silk on the arm of the noble lady in front of them. The furnishings of the carriage and four BMWs at the door may even buy half of the street here. .

This kind of lady dressed up as a wealthy businessman makes money every breath, and spends her free time defrauding their poor father and daughter?

Unless there is some astonishing profit ratio, it would be a loss-making business, and they would not be able to repay it by working as cows and horses for eight lifetimes... And cows and horses are the most indispensable things in this world.

Huang Feihong's head shook like a rattle:

"It's too valuable. It's too valuable. Xiaoxuan and I can't accept it. This favor is too big. Even if you sell it, I can't afford to pay it back..."

"Brother Huang, please correct me. This is not a favor. Both the slave family and Landlord Chen are private gifts, not sales. Tomorrow, you can ask the government notary to come and transfer the property rights and house deeds. It is fair and square, with complete procedures and no tricks.

"Besides, the slave family is not talented. He is a Yangzhou businessman. Brother Huang can go out and inquire about it. We are doing business. We always keep our promises sincerely and never break the contract."

Speaking of credibility, Pei Shisanniang's smile softened, and she looked serious, not joking.

Huang Feihong became increasingly uneasy and asked in a doubtful tone:

"It's so good. Why did Mrs. Pei and Mr. Chen give us these things? This, this doesn't make sense. What are they trying to do?"

Huang Xuan also suddenly spoke: "What do you want... I don't have anything in my house, nothing you like... I don't have the luck to change houses with my wife, so please come back."

Landlord Chen glanced sideways at Pei Shisanniang.

Huang Feihong also stared at her.

Pei Shisanniang did not look at these two people, but looked at Huang Xuan with a smile. Although she was a little surprised by her reaction and words of rejection, she still continued:

"My slave doesn't ask for anything, he does good deeds and accumulates virtues. Why do we need so much?

"Well, when merchants make money, they should give back some to the poor people. This is business ethics, and it is also in line with the yin and yang of the world. There is no need for a reason, but... the slave family can realize this sense of responsibility. In fact, it is inspired by the nobles and sages today. Enlightenment can be regarded as meeting the wise and thinking together."

She looked very emotional.

Landlady Chen nodded immediately: "Me too, me too."

Huang Feihong was confused: "Noble, sage, what do you mean?"

Huang Xuan responded: "Do you know that noble man in the evening?"

Pei Shisanniang nodded with a smile.

Huang Feihong looked around in confusion and asked: "That noble man in the evening? What are you talking about, Xiaoxuan, what happened in the evening?"

Pei Shisanniang didn't answer.

Huang Xuan lowered her eyelashes and looked at the wound on her palm.

Huang Feihong's eyes also followed and landed on her wound...

After a while, after his daughter asked about the twists and turns in the evening, the bearded man blushed and gritted his teeth:

"Those bastards at Hanlei Ink Studio, you beasts! They really piss me off. Xiaoxuan, I told you not to go there a long time ago. It's not worth it for the scraps of ink. You really want to write and make leaves, so at worst buy some." Cheap ink ingots...you just don’t listen and go there every day. I knew those ink shop stewards were not good people the first time I saw them, and they made me angry. Don’t let me catch them next time!"

Huang Xuan turned a deaf ear and asked Pei Sanniang again: "So the noble asked you to come, and you still want to help my family?"

Pei Sanniang's eyes flickered slightly, unable to comment:

"Absolutely. The slave family does know the noble person who will help you. I came here this time to learn from him."

Huang Xuan was silent and touched a certain money bag.

"Actually, this time, the house is not completely free of charge. Well... I have a small thing to ask for, it's just a little effort, and it's something that is good for that noble person... Do you understand what I mean?"

"What's going on?" Huang Feihong was curious.

"The way to make a good name for a noble person is to go out for a meal, thank the noble person in person, and help him make a name for himself. This way you can repay his kindness and you don't have to feel too guilty."

Pei Shisanniang spoke kindly, bent down, handed the key to Huang Xuan's hand, and touched her head at the same time.

This time, Huang Xuan did not hide away, but raised her head when she stroked her head and confirmed again:

"Tell me first, how can I help? Can you really help this noble person?" He was a little worried and wary.

"Of course, think about it, helping your poor little girl out of trouble is a good deed. If it is publicized, it will do no harm. Anyway, when you come out, you must say good things about him in public, and it can't be bad words, right? ?

"It's not a scandal, it's a good deed. Doing good deeds shouldn't be unknown, don't you think?

"Let's do this. If you find out that what the slave family said is false, you can leave at any time. Don't worry, the house given by the slave family will not be taken back..."

Pei Shisanniang smiled and said this, and the conversation suddenly changed:

"It's too late. It's cold standing here in the yard. Let's go to the new house at the entrance of the alley to chat. You can take a look at the house by the way."

The Huang family father and daughter hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. When they arrived at the new house, the Huang family's father and daughter felt as if they had entered the Grand View Garden, touching everywhere with hopeful eyes and unconcealable joy.

This feeling is like a poor man suddenly owning a large villa, which is a bit dreamy.

Pei Shisanniang suddenly asked: "Xiaoxuan, do you know who the young man wearing a felt hat is buying red leaves?"

Huang Xuan was stunned: "Isn't that noble lady's servant? Isn't that noble lady Xie, and that royal palace."

"You, you, are so cute."

Pei Shisanniang shook her head and chuckled: "The slave family doesn't know whether the noble daughter of the Xie family likes your red leaves, but the one who came forward to buy the red leaves is Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Lianghan. He is your true nobleman."

The little girl in the red coat was dumbfounded.

"Chang Shi... Ouyang Lianghan... that gentleman who is famous all over the world?" She couldn't help blurting out: "Zhou Bang is so happy that there is a good man in the army?"

"Yes, that's him."

Pei Shisanniang was very satisfied with Huang Xuan's reaction, but the little girl suddenly raised her head and asked again, which almost stumped her.

"Then why did he talk about eldest lady? Why is he keeping a low profile... Could it be that he doesn't want to publicize it? Wouldn't it be good for me and dad to publicize it?"

Pei Shisanniang couldn't help but take another look at the little girl whose mind was spinning very fast, and suddenly smiled:

"This... this is what makes him a real sage. Think about it, isn't this because he is afraid that you and Brother Huang will feel guilty? What can you repay him if you are so poor? He doesn't care about this at all, so why should he burden you? Just say yes The noble daughter of the royal palace likes red leaves and doesn't mention herself at all, covering up the reason why she drew her sword to help when the road was rough..."

The noble lady sighed: "Now that I have the opportunity, I can let you go and toast me with a toast. It won't be troublesome, right? Are you a rude person who knows a favor but doesn't repay it?"

Huang Xuan and Huang Feihong fell silent immediately, as if what they said made sense, and their eyes hesitated... At this time, a house deed was pushed in front of their father and daughter.

Pei Sanniang pressed her hand on the house deed, looked at them, smiled and said nothing.

Huang Feihong touched the red lacquered tables and stools around him with some reluctance.

He quietly turned to look at his daughter.

"What did Brother Huang say?" Pei Shisanniang asked.

Huang Feihong scratched his head in embarrassment: "Listen to Xiaoxuan, she has the final say and the final say on matters like this in our family."

Pei Sanniang was stunned for a moment, smiled sweetly, and looked at the little girl in the red coat who was silent. She found the relationship between father and daughter more and more interesting, especially this daughter.

The style of father and daughter, one is reckless and casual, the other is careful and self-disciplined, but the daughter looks like a parent.

Huang Xuan and her father looked at each other and saw the hesitation in his eyes.

She suddenly looked around.

This luxurious new house owned by Mr. Li is located at the corner of the street. It is brightly lit day and night, and candles seem to be free of charge. Huang Xuan has passed by here countless times, and every time she drags her legs and feet back, and her body is full of grievances. A dark and cramped courtyard.

She remembered that Yuan Li's maternal wife also had a little daughter of similar age to her. She was well-dressed and well-dressed, and she had a servant when traveling. Huang Xuan often followed the crowds in the neighborhood to watch, huddled in an inconspicuous corner of the crowd and watched silently.

Right now, the deed of the house that she had looked up to countless times was quietly placed in front of her.

Huang Xuan raised her head:

"Landlord Chen is offering two years of rent-free rent. Don't evict the other tenants. Keep everything as before and let those mother-in-law and uncles continue to live there, okay? Madam, my mother-in-law and uncle are very nice people. This is also a good deed."

Hearing the unexpected conditions, Pei Shisanniang raised her eyelashes, but immediately her smile became even wider:

"It's okay. The house belongs to your father and daughter. It's up to you to arrange it. Come on, let's discuss the toast tomorrow..."

During the default listening period, Huang Xuan touched the money bag in her arms again.

The handsome face of a young man with a felt hat flashed before his eyes...it turned out that he was the noble one.

"Tomorrow at noon...Xunyang Tower...you two will be there on time...don't worry, the noble lady will come too..."

Not long after, after the negotiation was concluded, Pei Shisanniang left the Huang family and her daughter behind and left with satisfaction.

Board a luxurious carriage and leave the dilapidated alley.

When passing by the alley, she suddenly saw a strange Taoist priest standing on the street, carrying a mahogany sword on his back. He didn't know why he didn't have a crown, his hair was disheveled, his robes were messy, but he had a paralyzed face.

The Taoist priest watched her carriage pass by silently and expressionlessly.

Pei Shisanniang looked at it, put down the car curtain, shook her head and muttered:

"This old town of Xingzifang is really messy and full of mud and sand. It is not as tidy as the neighborhoods in Yangzhou, so... the Nu family is really doing good things, Mr. Changshi."

The wheels rolled, ran over the muddy ground in the dilapidated alley, and drove away.

Lu Ya watched the lady's luxurious carriage drive away, then turned to look in the direction of the Huang family's father and daughter who had just received a new house.

……

The next day, Ouyang Rong went out as usual.

I had a day off yesterday, and I feel refreshed and motivated to go to work today.

Well, it's more comfortable to work part-time than to go shopping with a woman. Let's just say it's a cult.

In the morning, he arrived at Hanlei Ink Studio on time, and the figure of a cold and cold girl in palace attire was still there, pursuing and investigating the theft of fifty Hanlei ink tablets.

Ouyang Rong walked around, greeted Yan Liulang, who was cooperating in the investigation, and asked about the case.

Yan Liulang looked serious, shook his head and said:

"There are no clues. The ink ingots seem to have disappeared out of thin air. All links have been checked, and all the people who have come into contact have been checked one by one. Unless the boss is a thief, or everyone lies and has never produced this batch of ink, otherwise it will be a despicable job. I really can’t imagine how it could disappear.”

After hesitating for a moment, he added: "Ming Mansion, although it is a small case and no one was killed, I have never seen such a bizarre case since I started working as a police officer."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows, feeling a little strange in his heart.

It was clear that the thief could not be found, which helped him, the "owner of Dielianhua," hide, but he was very curious about the method of committing the crime.

By the way, who did it? Is it possible that it is the work of a craftsman if it is so invisible to God and ghosts?

But during these days, the little guy was punished with a "belly bag" to think about his mistakes, and he kept the sword box in the sword box every day to live with the two trophies it captured.

Ouyang Rong nodded. The monk held an umbrella and was lawless. He had to taste the consequences of his actions. He couldn't be the only sword master to pay the bill afterwards and be known as a pervert?

In the future, if it dares to bring any messy things home, it will have to consider whether its sword box nest can be accommodated.

Anyway, it shouldn’t have been done by the craftsmen in Guan Xiaoheiwu. Besides, where could the fifty ink sticks be hidden?

Seeing that nothing happened and Rong Zhen was cold and indifferent, Ouyang Rong left first.

Rong Zhen sent someone away and turned around and walked into the stolen warehouse.

After wandering around a pile of Han Lei ink tablets for two times, she suddenly stopped, lowered her eyelashes and said to herself:

“Eliminate all possible truths, and all that remains is the impossible.

"Why don't you be bold? Maybe it's not man-made, so there is no 'popularity' left. Then what kind of thing can make fifty ink sticks disappear out of thin air without leaving any breath? Could it be...eating it? Really? Ha, interesting.

"I was originally the owner of Chadielianhua, but I didn't expect that I might find out those things first..."
