The summer days are long, and the sky is not completely dark when the first watch is approaching, Linglong can't wait any longer, and she can't go out of the city anymore, so she simply changed out of her night clothes, put on a green cloth shirt and pants, dressed up as a little teenager, put the night clothes on her shoulders, and secretly jumped off the blue brick wall under the shade of a few dense trees, and came to an alley behind the house.

Although it is not dark at this hour, it is also the time for families to eat, and the back alleys are mostly places where people deliver vegetables, rice or pour night incense, and mule carts and donkey carts stop from one end of the alley to the other. But at this time, it was quiet, and I couldn't even see the shadow of the car.

There is no shadow of the car, but there is one shadow of the person.

As soon as Linglong jumped off the wall, she saw a figure flying down from the wall at the end of the alley.

There are thieves!

It is said that she once saw a thief on the roof of Xifu, that is, Shi Er, and today she saw another one, and saw that the name of the living god of wealth of the Jin family was not obtained for nothing, and it was quite a thief to be seen.

It was not easy to see her peers, so Linglong did not dodge, but simply hid behind a tree and waited for the thief to come over.

The thief not only came over, but also pulled her out from behind the tree, and struck her with his fist: "Good you little thief, dare to ambush here!" ”

When the thief's eyes are good, Linglong sees him, he also sees Linglong, and eighty percent thinks that he has met black and eats black.

It was so close, and it wasn't dark, Linglong saw this person's face and immediately smiled: "Master, don't you know me again?" ”

Shi Er changed a new fake face, this person is really rich, the black market price of this kind of fake face is hundreds of taels, although it can no longer be fake, but it is all genuine human skin, there is no market, and when he encounters a wronged man, he is slaughtered in vain.

Linglong can recognize Shi Er, because she firmly believes that there is no second wronged person in this world with such poor aesthetics as Shi Er.

The person who sold him fake faces must have sold all the unsalable goods to him at a high price, these faces are not only poor and fake in workmanship, but also have a common characteristic, that is, ugly!

Therefore, although Shi Er is a new face every time, Linglong can still recognize him at a glance.

But Shi Er's eyes seemed to be a little bad, he didn't recognize Linglong once, even this time, he grabbed Linglong's neck and waved his fist, seeing that his fist was about to smash into Linglong's snow-white and pink little face, he still didn't recognize her.

Fortunately, Linglong called out "Master" in time, and then he forcibly retracted his fist and asked in surprise, "Little ball?" Why aren't you wearing a nightdress? ”

Well, it's easier to recognize you in a night suit, who told you not to wear it, then don't blame the master for not knowing you.

Linglong pointed to the sky: "It's not dark yet, isn't it sick when I'm wearing a night suit?" ”

Shi Er let go and put Linglong on the ground again, Linglong realized that her feet had left the ground just now, how ruthless you said this person was, obviously seeing that she was a child, she had to lift it up and start fighting.

"Master, why did you come to the Jin family again, leave the matter to me." Having said that, Linglong made a sudden surprise in her heart, if Shi Er really wanted to steal here, would she steal it or not?

Shi Er disdainful: "People like the Jin family have nothing else good to do except gold and silver, so what can they steal?" In the future, if you follow the master, you must not lower your figure, and if you steal, you will steal those scholarly families, Zhong Ding family, they have a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings in their hands, like the Jin family, do you want to eat with golden bowls and gold plates? “

Linglong pouted secretly, you are really right, I just want to use gold bowls and plates, it is better to have a room full of gold, let me count from morning to night, and sleep with gold.

To steal gold is to lower your figure? Your brain is really not a normal human.

Linglong lamented how unfortunate she was that she found a snake spirit to be the master, and at the same time duplicity: "The apprentice doesn't want to lower his figure, the apprentice just wants to learn the clever light skills with the master, and he can go to Zhong Ding's house to steal the treasure in the future." “

Well, exchange the stolen treasure for gold.

Shi Er is satisfied, and the apprentice can be taught. "The teacher was just passing by here, and remembered that he had met you here, so he went up to the wall to take a look, but he didn't think that you were really here, by the way, what are you doing here?"

Shi Er's eyes were already full of disgust, shouldn't the newly recruited apprentice come to steal the Jin family tastelessly?

Linglong hurriedly said: "I was about to go out of the city to find the master, and I was also passing by, remembering that I had met with the master here in the past, which was very unforgettable, so I came here to have a look." “

Shi Er was even more satisfied, although the little apprentice's words were a bit far-fetched and had a lot of water, but it still sounded very pleasant. "It's just right to meet you, Master just bought a house in the capital, take you to see it."

Linglong thought to herself, she was really a master and apprentice, she wanted to buy a house and buy a house, and Shi Er actually bought it too.

Shi Er whistled, Kuroko ran from outside the alley, and the two flew on their horses and headed towards the east of the city.

The capital of Emperor Dawu is divided into the inner city and the outer city, the east and west are the streets, the north and the south are the streets, and the two streets of Chang'an and Changle divide the imperial capital into four parts. The east of Chang'an Avenue is the east of the city, the west is the west of the city, and Changle Avenue runs through the east and west of the inner city, and the palace is on Changle Avenue.

In the early years of the Great Wu Dynasty, there was a clear division of emperors. In addition to the yamen at all levels in the inner city, there are also the mansions of dignitaries and dignitaries, while the common people live in the outer city. After more than 100 years and three generations of emperors, although the layout of the imperial capital has not changed, the rules of the officials in the inner city and the civilians in the outer city have long existed.

The Dawu Dynasty produced a great merchant Jia Jin Shilin, who had the merit of the dragon, and even after that, the status of the merchant was greatly improved compared with the previous dynasty, some officials left Beijing and went out, and the original house in the inner city was resold to others, and in the end, those who could afford the Gaomen compound were often businessmen without merit; The inner city is expensive and expensive, and ordinary officials and eunuchs can't afford it for many years, so they have to move to the outer city where housing prices are cheap.

In this way, the rule is just a dead letter. However, it is true that the inner city is unaffordable for ordinary people, and this is not false.

Shi Er's house is in the inner city, and it is still the east of the city where the emperor's relatives live. Although they are all inner cities, the housing prices in the east of the city are several percent more expensive than those in the west.

This is the five-entry mansion, the door should be the original two stone lions, now the lion is gone, the base is still there, I want to come before it was also an official eunuch.

I don't know which release official was in a hurry to use the money, and he didn't inquire, so he sold the house to the thief.

Outside the house is a pull of peach blossoms and green willows, the peach blossoms have been thanked in this season, there are small hairy peaches hanging on the branches, the willow is a weeping willow, but the branches and leaves are dense, and the long willow branches hang down, like a green silk.
