Sweetwater Lane.

The capital is famous for its dust and fireworks.

If no one points out that this is Sweetwater Alley, I'm afraid that in the eyes of newcomers from other places, it is just an ordinary wide alley.

The streets are planted with locust trees, with pear trees and hawthorn trees between them, and even occasionally it is quiet outside, and you can hear the sound of musical instruments and books from the alley, and probably the most dusty is the sweet well in the depths of the alley, where many women gather, and what they do most often is to sing the poems written by a certain genius and comment on which words are well written.

There are talented Qing men living here, and there are also Israeli servants, and their identities are all based on the lanterns and colorful flags on the eaves of the porch in front of the door.

Early this morning, the Qingning of Sweet Water Lane was broken by neat footsteps, the forbidden army suddenly came to search Sweet Water Lane, and every attic in the alley came from exclamations or men's shouts, and it didn't take long for several forbidden soldiers to be disheveled, and when they saw the commander of the forbidden army, they came out like a man who was mourning.

Yu Hou: "Report! I've searched for everything, and I've caught five." ”

Commander of the Forbidden Army: "Whoever there is, bring it with you and take a look." ”

Several of the detainees were sent to the commander of the forbidden army, and he glanced at the people he was not looking for, "Okay, is there anything else to find?"

Marquis Yu hesitated, came to the commander of the forbidden army and whispered in his ear, saying that the second son of the founding marquis was found in the courtyard of a certain Qingqi private house, and he did not stop them from searching people, and that private house was also not found.

The commander of the forbidden army raised his eyebrows: "Close!"

The forbidden army withdrew from Sweetwater Lane, and the women in the attic poked their heads out one after another, all covering their faces with fans, "Oh, that official brother looks good when he is fierce!"

"Why did you come here so early to bother?"

"I don't know what to provoke, it seems that someone broke the discipline and ran out, right?"

The girls are chattering, and you look at me like a yellow bird on a branch.

In the courtyard of the private house judged by Yu Hou to have no problem, Pei Shuo, the "second son", finished drinking tea, walked to the corner of the courtyard and bent down to the bottom of the big water tank and knocked five times, the first three times were quickly connected, and the first time of the last two times was knocked down in the water tank and then fell the second time, which was the signal he agreed with the people inside: "Come out, they are gone." ”

The surface of the water in the big tank shook, and the water suddenly rose, and the people inside stood up with urns. It turns out that the water tank has another mystery, and its edge to the inside is a pottery urn half a child's height, and the pottery urn and the water tank fit tightly.

The water tank is fixed to the ground, and the lower part is hollow and connected to the ground, and a small cellar is dug to hide people.

Yu Hou was inexperienced, and when he saw the reflection of the water surface, he only saw that he stretched out his hand to stir the water, and left without noticing anything abnormal.

"Thank you Pei Er Gongzi for helping. ”

Pei Shuo said: "Where, I have a friend who bought a house in Dongchengxiang, please take care of Yu Hou, don't go to the door to collect rent on the street one day, and be troubled near the right day." He bought a shop at the end of the Dongchengxiang Night Market, the picture is that there are many customers, the street is making trouble every day, not to mention the bad mood, and it also affects the business. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. ”

Sending away the Marquis of Dongcheng Xiangyu, who escaped punishment, Pei Shuo twisted up the pastries and looked around, alas, he missed the five-color cakes and Sixi siu mai made by A-Yao.

Qing Qi walked out slowly, "Xingzhi Gongzi." ”

"Qingniang, I have to go back, thanks to you today. The moment Pei Shuo turned around, his peach blossom eyes were full of affection, obviously he was just smiling at her, but the young lady who boasted of having seen countless wanderers was seen by him and her heart beat faster, and she drowned in his eyes.

He looks very similar to Pei Xingzhi, as he gets older, he and Pei Xingzhi's temperament is completely different, usually the two brothers stand together and no one will admit their mistakes, and when Pei Shuo deliberately imitates Pei Xingzhi's actions, ordinary people can't see the flaws.

"It is an honor for Qingniang to be able to help Xingzhi Gongzi. ”

Qing Niang Fu didn't stand firmly, her body was soft and tilted to the side, Pei Shuo held her arm, quickly let go, and helped her to the position where he was originally sitting: "The spring is cold, Qing Niang must not catch a cold." What I saw today, please forget, don't talk to others, when I haven't been here. ”

The courtyard rolls up a petal of peach blossoms, just like the feelings in the heart of the young lady, easily floating with the wind, and regrettably falling, so beautiful that the loss is only in a moment.

The white-clothed "Pei Xingzhi" left Sweet Water Lane, and after a few streets and alleys, Pei Shuo, who came out of the green shirt and straight up, quietly returned to the Hou Mansion from the small door, and asked the honeysuckle who answered him: "Has my father come back?"

"The master hasn't come back yet, and neither is the second son. ”

"That's good. Pei Shuo yawned, sneaked out in the middle of the night, disguised as Pei Xingzhi and squatted until dawn to make a scene, sleepy, "You think of a way to deliver a message to the commander of the forbidden army, saying that Yu Hou, who is in charge of Dongchengxiang, did stay in Sweet Water Lane yesterday, and the cellar organ can hide people and escape the catastrophe, don't reveal your identity when you deliver the message." I'll go sleep for a while and come back and wake me up. ”

Pei Shuo slept this time, and in his dreams, A-Yao circled around him, slept until three poles in the sun, and missed the opportunity for heroes to save beauty.

……

Ah Yao didn't know that Pei Shuo had taken down Yu Hou in Dongchengxiang.

She pinched the snake and returned to Sun Niang's foot shop, and told the proprietress about the situation in the store: "In the past few days, we have to close the business internally, and we can only continue to open the store after eliminating the scourge of snakes, insects, rats and ants." Bao Youcai, that scum let out the words in public, we don't deal with it, and the guests don't dare or dare to come again. ”

The proprietress had a sad face: "It's all my fault, if I don't go out on the third day of the first month of March, I won't cause trouble." ”

"Boss, I don't agree with your words. Song Fang said: "It is not easy for you to live as a woman with two children, and having a shop can enable you to live." Now that others are coveting the foundation of your life and using all kinds of dirty means to try to seize your foundation, you should not blame yourself, but focus on dealing with those who covet your inheritance. ”

"That's right. Li Gang and Li Rou also nodded. "Sister Yao Zhu was really amazing just now!"

"The powerful person is not me, it's Brother Mo, I'm actually borrowing his momentum. Ah Yao smiled, "Brother Mo is full of chivalry, fortunately, he is also willing to help this time, the matter can be resolved, and those people who are lucky will not come again." ”

The proprietress also had a smile on her face: "I want to thank him well...... But now the kitchen is no longer working. ”

"We can get a little stove outside, like a night market, and set up a shed with two or three tables and chairs. A-Yao said.

The proprietress said: "The cleaning of ingredients, stir-fried vegetables and even dishes and chopsticks is clear to the diners at a glance, and the three of you need to be more attentive to Li Gang, Li Rou and the three of you." ”

"It should. ”

"We'll try!"

On the spot, A-Yao wrote a notice and posted it on the pillar outside Sun Niang's foot shop, explaining that because Sun Niang's foot shop was disturbed by wicked people, snakes, insects, rats and ants were put in, and the internal renovation began from now on until the snake and rat were uprooted, and it was safe and then reopened.

Song Fang built the stove, Li Gang and Li Rou went to buy new dishes and chopsticks, the proprietress continued to take care of the two children, and explained the meaning of the notice to the people nearby by the way, and Ayao went home to bring her big dog and big white goose over and wait.

When she's done catching the snake, it's the dog's turn to take the rat and the battle goose.
