Qi knew that he was good-looking, he never applied fat powder, and only wore clothes of obscure colors, and sometimes he smeared a thin layer of soot on his face when he went out. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she and Pan Xigui are honest, Liu Mingyi is endearing, and the neighbors are willing to help them, and the past two years have been smooth. I didn't want two ruffians to come to the door for no reason to make trouble on this day, so scared that she closed the door and didn't dare to go out.

She's just an adult, how old is Liu Mingyi? has a lively temperament, and he can't close it at home. Qi didn't pay attention, so she slipped away and ran outside to play with a few boys from the neighborhood. There is a huge old locust tree at the mouth of the alley, and the children make an appointment to climb the tree, and whoever climbs high is the Monkey King. The two younger ones were cheering with their heads tilted their necks, and the older ones swished up the trees. A man he didn't know walked over and stood and looked up. The little girl in the red dress on the tree was fast and smart, blinking like a little monkey and climbing to the top.

One of the older children shouted, "Be careful! Drop it carefully! ”

The top child said crisply: "I won't fall!" I'm the Monkey King! Nai giggled, and his little legs didn't know how to step on it, but he stood up on the top of the tree, and waved his little arms steadily, "I'm Sun-Wu-Kong-"

Several children shouted: "Come down~~" A small one under the tree turned his head to look at the man. The man stood with his hands in his hands, and he didn't mean to protect the little red monkey at the top of the tree.

A child in the tree shouting, "From now on, you will be down the tree!" Whoever is the slowest is Zhu Bajie! ”

As soon as the words ended, the children all crawled down. The top one was still the fastest, like a small red cloud that floated to about six feet above the ground in the blink of an eye, and seeing that someone was under her head and very fast, she simply jumped down! Not only did he not hurt half a point, but he stood steadily. Clapping his hands and laughing: "It's me the fastest again!" The children came down one after another, and one by one they obeyed her, calling her "king". The little girl was triumphant, and she was not imposing with her chest and hands.

Suddenly, he saw the man inattentively, stopped laughing for a moment, opened a pair of big black eyes and looked up at him for a long time: "Uncle, I've seen you." ”

The man asked, "Where have you seen it?" ”

The little girl shook her head: "I can't remember." ”

The man smiled and touched her head: "It's okay, just remember to see it." He asked her, "Are you happy?" ”

The little girl immediately laughed: "So happy! ”

"You...... Father...... Is that good for you? ”

The little girl nodded vigorously: "Daddy loves me the most!" ”

The man was silent for a moment and then asked, "Is there anyone who treats your family badly on weekdays?" ”

The little girl pouted: "There are two villains who come to ask for money from time to time!" My mother won't let me go out to play......"

The man asked, "Why did the villain ask for money from your family?" Since when? ”

The little girl said, "It's only started in the past few days." I overheard my mother and my father talking the night before, because a rich patron Xun Niang ordered a belt that could make a lot of money, so that the bad guy knew about it, so he came to ask for money. The belt hasn't been embroidered yet, so naturally people haven't given money......"

The man pondered for a moment and asked, "They didn't come to ask for money before?" ”

The little girl sighed like a little adult: "In the past, our family didn't have any money~~"

The man nodded, "That's right."

。 When do those two bad guys usually come to ask for money? ”

The little girl pouted again: "It's time to eat!" It's annoying. ”

"Lunch or dinner?"

The little girl stamped her feet: "They're all coming!" ”

The man looked up at the sun and touched her little head again: "They won't be here at noon today." ”

The little girl raised her face and looked at the man carefully, and said loudly, "Okay! The man walked away. The little girl walked back to her little friend with her hands in her hands.

At noon that day, sure enough, no ruffians came to Qi's house to make trouble.

Two days later, when the little girl was playing, she saw a man coming from a distance, and ran over with a "zi" sound: "Uncle-" The man stood still and waited for her. The little girl ran to him and frowned and said, "The bad guy from last time is not coming, and there is a new bad guy since yesterday!" ”

The man said, "Don't be afraid." Or do you come at dinner? ”

The little girl shook her head: "Come when you don't eat this time." ”

"Hmm. They're not coming tomorrow. ”

The little girl showed a sweet smile with eight small teeth: "Okay~~"

This scoundrel is really not coming again.

Two days later, the little girl was holding a stick in one hand and picking up the flowers, when the man came again and nodded to her. The little girl immediately put away the stick in her hand and ran to the man in a few steps: "Uncle~~ There were two more yesterday!" Right now sitting in front of our house! I go out to play by climbing the windows. ”

Man crouching. He touched the back of her neck: "They'll leave right away." ”

The little girl smiled sweetly: "Uncle is the best!" "I went back to playing.

The man turned around and walked down the alley, and saw two men sitting in front of Qi's house from a distance. Just as he was about to raise his hand, a figure flickered, and a hand grabbed his wrist. "Fourth Master Liu, stay together." This man is naturally Liu Si, and it is Chen Ruijin who is stopping him. She sighed softly, "I knew it was you." also blamed Jia Cong for not thinking about it thoroughly. You're a big inner guard, and you know that there's less to do outside. ”

Liu Si asked, "What does Miss Chen mean?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Even if you are a hooligan in the market, if you die, you will alarm the government." You've killed three people, and they're all 'dead'. Kill these two again, even if Lord Zhao Cheng is a fool, he should know that he has something to do with this family. It must not be a good thing for their family to get into trouble with the government. ”

Liu Si was silent. After a while, Fang said: "Do you have an idea?" ”

Chen Ruijin said: "It's good to scare these two away." It's just a palliative, not a cure. If you want to cure the root cause, either Rongguo Mansion will come forward to find an excuse to take them to live elsewhere and send them a small courtyard to settle in, and you will pay for it. I'm afraid that Pan's sister-in-law will not accept this favor. Liu Si was silent. Chen Ruijin waited for a long time, and then said, "Or support a capable person to come out and manage this mess in the west of the city." Originally, there were natural rules in the market, and one hegemon had his own hegemon. The three shopkeepers of the Qin Dynasty left and the business remained, and those businesses belonged to King Yan. Li Sheng obviously did not do anything; But others had the intention of crossing him, and the government came forward to pull the shelf. The market is not as good as officialdom, and the incompetent will be chaotic. ”

Liu Sidao: "King Yan doesn't care? ”

Chen Ruijin said: "If you say it is good, it is the market, and if you say it is bad, it is a thief." How idle does King Yan have to be? Whatever? ”

Liu Sidao: "Qin Sangu is his person

。 ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Qin Sangu was originally a spy of the imperial court, and it was incidental to be a tyrant in the west of the city; Her business was an unexpected joy for King Yan, and it was not an errand. Liu Si was silent again. Chen Ruijin looked at him again and said, "Liu Mingyi's little girl is really cute." At the moment, these few idle people will only ask for a few dollars. There's everyone in the market. Liu Si's heart jumped when he heard this, and he suddenly raised his eyes to stare at her; Chen Ruijin had turned around and floated away.

Liu Sili walked towards the two idlers after being stunned for half a cup of tea in the same place, and couldn't help but say that he carried one in one hand, and walked out of the other end of the alley where Liu Mingyi was playing, and beat the two of them at the entrance of the alley - naturally he didn't use real kung fu. The two didn't know why, so they first scolded, and when they got more and more punched, they cried and begged for mercy. Liu Si sneered: "It's not easy to find things to do when you're young, and you only think about doing these indiscriminate things all day long." The two idlers hugged their heads and swore to be good people from now on. Liu Si said, "If you let the Sprinkle family see your reckless behavior, you will break your dog's legs!" "Throw up your sleeves and leave. The two idlers lay at the entrance of the alley for a long time, and they also walked away.

Liu Si scared him away, and the two of them were useless to the Qi family. The ruffians in the west of the city have all got the news, and the Qi family's flowers are well tied, and a young grandmother from a rich man's family from the south has taken a fancy to her craftsmanship and paid a lot of money to buy her work. No one knows how much the "heavy money" is, and her man is just an ordinary horse-drawn carriage and a bully. Although there were three violent deaths and two beatings in front of them, those people didn't wonder if it would be someone in their family to protect them, but they all thought, "What a piece of fat, they didn't eat it, and they should have eaten it for me." "Two days later, Liu Mingyi twisted his neck and never saw the uncle again.

That night, Liu Xiaoqi jumped over the courtyard wall of Lixiangyuan, and just after he landed, he heard a "whoosh" sound, and a tea cup flew straight towards his stomach. Nai gently stretched out his hand to hold it, and looked up: Jia Cong and Chen Ruijin were not in the courtyard, and there was a small man in a green coat and a small hat sitting next to the begonia carved lacquer where the tea and snacks were placed, and he threw a tea cup with a puffed face. This time, his head was a little worse, and he flew over about four inches outside Liu Xiaoqi's shoulder. Liu Xiaoqi stretched out his arm and grabbed it in the palm of his hand again. When the little guy saw it, he threw the third one, and Liu Xiaoqi held the first two tea cups in his right hand and took them with his left hand.

Turning his head to look at it again, the little guy suddenly took out a small Western fire from his arms. Gun to yourself! also sneered: "But let's see if you still have bullets in your hands!" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said honestly: "Even if you have empty hands, you can't catch bullets." ”

The little guy stood up with a small face and looked at him a few times, and snorted: "If you don't have the ability to do serious business, you can be a thief!" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I'm not a thief. ”

"Oh?" The little guy tilted his head and asked, "What's your surname?" What is it called? Where did it come from? Where to go? Explain it quickly. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "Your third master naturally knows that I have something to look for him." ”

The little guy looked at him a few more times and shouted: "Liar~~Come on~~ There is a thief who says he knows you~~"

Hearing the sound of footsteps, kicking and stomping, someone shouted: "No big, no small!" Rebel, you! Jia Cong came out of the house with his shoes on his shoes, and was stunned when he saw the two people in the courtyard, "What are you two doing?" ”

The little guy takes the fire. The gun was pointed at Liu Xiaoqi: "He said he knew you!" ”

Jia Cong frowned and said, "Put the gun down!" What it looks like. ”

Liu Xiaoqi said idly: "Third Brother Cong, your family's hospitality is not very polite. ”

The little guy looked at him and looked at Jia Cong, and he understood a little in his heart, and he lowered his gun and argued: "You didn't knock on the door, and flew in from outside the wall, is it a visitor's gift?" ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "I'm not used to knocking on the door

。 "It's going to carve a few sons.

The little guy said: "Who knows if you are used to knocking on the door?" Don't ordinary people think you're a thief when they see you like this? ”

Liu Xiaoqi neatly put back the three tea cups and said: "Third Brother Cong, this pear fragrance courtyard is not an ordinary place, and there are unusual people. ”

The little guy wanted to fight back, but Jia Cong said first: "That's it!" A little misunderstanding will be a long-term mouthpiece. The little guy pouted and didn't say anything. Is there something wrong with Xiao Qi? ”

Liu Xiaoqi said: "What did you ask me to give to the fourth brother that day?" He locked up his grandfather. ”

Jia Cong frowned: "Locked up?" What is the reason? ”

"I don't know." Liu Xiaoqi said, "It's not that you don't know about our family, and there is never anything to gossip about." I think it has something to do with what you said last time. ”

Jia Congnai called a kid: "Go to the courtyard of the second master of Bao and call Miss Chen back, only to say that there is something important to discuss." The boy said yes and ran away.

In the past few days, Chen Ruijin has tried to get the girls of the Liu family out of various health halls under various names during the day, and he has been busy discussing with Shi Xiangyun about the establishment of a women's school at night, so he is not here. When she came back, she saw the two of them and asked, "What is Xiao Qi doing here?" ”

Jia Cong and Liu Xiaoqi didn't have time to speak, and the little guy said quietly: "Aunt Chen~~ Do you know what month it is?" ”

Chen Ruijin took a look: "Cheng'er? What are you doing so late? Wearing such clothes...... There may be a mistake on the way. Won't your grandfather be scared to death if he finds out? ”

The little guy said lazily: "Don't worry! He didn't find out, but if he found my maid, he would tell the truth. "This little guy is Su Cheng, who took advantage of the dark moon and high wind tonight to buy the mother-in-law guarding the West Corner Gate and sneaked out. This man held his chin with both hands and said resentfully, "Did Aunt Chen forget me?" It's August, and Cheng'er is going to be out of the cabinet after the Mid-Autumn Festival......"

Chen Ruijin smiled: "You just have to rest assured, your affairs have already been completed." ”

Jia Cong said: "I forgot about it. Okay? ”

"That's it." Chen Ruijin said, "This little girl is anxious. In another three or four days, the Song family will be forced to withdraw from the marriage. ”

"Huh? Why? That kid shouldn't have enlarged the belly of another girl? ”

Chen Ruijin glanced at him: "Am I so tricky?" ”

Jia Cong said awe-inspiringly: "No! Of course not! ”

Su Cheng jumped off the chair and jumped to Chen Ruijin's side and pulled her shirt: "Really? Okay? ”

Chen Ruijin nodded and said, "I tried to try that the second master of the Song family is willing to move out of their mansion to live on his own, but it obviously didn't work." She first bought off a gentleman from Yuntai Academy, pretending to meet Song Erye in the teahouse, and praised his talent and learning, saying that he could persuade the dean, Mr. Xu, to be hired as the gentleman of the academy regardless of his age. Second Master Song only said that everything in the family was cheap and refused to go. Later, he sent someone to pretend to be a staff member of the Tianjin prefect, and he pretended to meet him by chance, praised his talent, and wanted to recommend him to his own adults. He was still reluctant to leave Beijing. Chen Ruijin knew that this son was in love with his family, and he was unwilling to stand on his own feet for the time being. "In this case, this marriage has to be abandoned. Heng Zhi will not lose him. ”

Jia Cong didn't ask, touched his nose and said, "Well, you are the most appropriate." Cheng'er is not small, so I have to find another one quickly. ”

Su Cheng was so happy that he ran around the yard twice, picked up a pot of lotus next to the steps, and rubbed his little face against the buds: "You are here!" ”
