Thank you for the alliance leader of the [Ji Da Forever Dripping God] boss!

I am currently in debt (165/470) and I am estimated to be in debt until the next one......

On the branches of the moon, at the foot of Zhongshan Mountain on the east side of Xuanwu Lake, a large-scale luxury mansion is built in it, and the light of the lights can be seen in the distant Xuanwu Lake.

Guards dressed in black patrol the periphery of the mansion day and night, and there were as many as 100 thugs, who looked like a small military camp at first glance. In the deepest part of the mansion, the sound of silk and bamboo and laughter were faintly heard, and many drunken doormen hooked their shoulders and laughed and scolded.

The doorman is a profession inherited from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, there are Jing Ke, Mao Sui, Zhu Hai and so on in ancient times, and the social status is relatively high, but this doorman mostly refers to the doorman of the door valve family, and the status is high at the threshold. Just like Lao Xiao, Yue Jiulou, and the Hua Jingting of the Xiao family in Huainan, they are all heroes on the rivers and lakes alone.

If you can invite these people back as your right-hand men, your own status will inevitably be transcendent. Only the long-standing gate valve clan can make these owls ambitious and willing to invest in the door. However, there are too many wealthy families in Jiangnan, and it is inevitable that there will be some vassal and elegant people, who have no background and strength, and they have also recruited a bunch of characters on the rivers and lakes to act as doormen, and the gold content is generally not high.

This is the case with the Yang family in Jinling, which is not close to the gate valve family, but the financial resources are very amazing. Originally, it was a family of businessmen, doing shipping business in Jiangnan, although the family has a strong background, but it is not ranked in Jiangnan, where the huge wealth is everywhere. So much so that Mrs. Lu, who grew up in Jinling, had never heard of the Yang family.

The development of the Yang family, in recent years, the sister of the head of the family, Yang Yingxiong, entered the door of King Wu, and her appearance was deeply favored by King Wu, and her mother's family naturally soared into the sky.

No one in Jiangnan dares not to give face to King Wu, Yang Yingxiong uses this golden signboard, the business is getting bigger and bigger, casinos, green buildings, etc., as long as you can make money, it can be said that you are making money every day. The once unattainable Lu family and other gate valves can also push the cup and change the lamp at the same table, and even the officials will be honored as 'Yang Gong' when they see it, and the market will gradually have the nickname of 'Yang Bancheng'.

Whether Yang Yingxiong has half of Jinling City, anyone with a discerning eye knows if there is, but Yang Yingxiong himself seems to have it.

Yang Yingxiong has been following the running boat in all directions since he was a child, and he is at the bottom of the 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', and he has endured the eyes of scholars and wealthy families. Now there is no one in the whole Jinling City who does not sell him a face, occasionally write two poems, and those pretentious talents will also boast two sentences, he knows that he writes bullshit, but so what, as long as everyone praises it, he enjoys this feeling of everyone giving three points.

It's just that tonight, Yang Yingxiong's mood is obviously not very good, this may be the first time he has been so angry since he made a fortune, and he has nowhere to vent.

In the hall in the middle of the mansion, the pot-bellied Yang Yingxiong sat on the Taishi chair, holding a white jade teacup, listening to what his subordinates were saying.

“…… Two of them died on the spot, and I didn't even give a chance to speak, so I managed to escape, and I also broke a hand......"

The man in black who took the lead on the dock today, with gauze wrapped around his wrist, his face was still pale, telling what he had just seen.

Yang Yingxiong's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked, "Have you reported my name?" ”

"Those who come with the head of the Xiao family must know the name of Yang Gong. The murderer was the prince of King Su in the northwest, and it is estimated that even the Lu family can't afford to provoke ......"

Yang Yingxiong naturally knew that he couldn't be provoked, but it didn't reach the point of being honestly afraid, and snorted lightly:

"It's just a prince, not a vassal king, my brother-in-law is a real prince, and now the saint has to call him cousin. When the younger sister has a son, with the favor of King Wu, maybe she can become a son. He is a prince with a different surname, how can he compare ......"

The master next to him knew that the master was complaining, so he comforted softly at the moment:

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the prince was sealed by Emperor Xiaozong, and there are only seven in the world. Just die two splashes who don't use it, there's no need to care......"

Yang Yingxiong took a sip of the teacup and nodded, which can be regarded as having eaten this secret loss.

The man in black hesitated, and then said: "That little prince, let Yang Gong withdraw the manpower of Nanshan Port, and he is not allowed to collect cash, this is ......"

Yang Yingxiong frowned, obviously a little annoyed.

The master thought for a while, and said with a smile: "The prince of King Su came to King Wu's birthday banquet, if there is a contradiction, King Wu will probably be unhappy...... Why don't you stop for a few days and wait for the evil star to be gone? ”

Yang Yingxiong was silent for a moment, slapped the teacup on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"That's it, give him a face, stop for a few days."

The master and the man in black secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly nodded with a smile and retreated......

On the south bank of the Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River, between the white walls and green tiles, Xu Buling and Mrs. Lu walked side by side, passing through the alley between the high walls.

Xiao Qi has not recovered from the scene of Xu Buling's murder, and after getting off the boat, he went to the Xiao family's mansion in Jinling to deal with affairs.

The alley on the south bank of Wende Bridge is very Jiangnan water town style, not very wide, the eaves on the white wall on both sides poke out a little, occasionally walk through the door, you can see two very small stone lions squatting on the ground, most of the stone plaques are embedded above the gate, it looks ordinary and even a little childish, and Chang'an kind of vermilion lacquer gate, the vast long street is completely different.

If it weren't for Mrs. Lu's introduction, it would be difficult for Xu Buling to imagine how many large and small families in these portals have been inherited for hundreds of years, and the ancestors who have no explanation seem to be embarrassed to live here.

Mrs. Lu grew up here when she was a child, and at this time, there was obviously some emotion in her eyes, seeing that there were no outsiders disturbing her in the alley, she was allowed to hold her arm and did not shy away from it, and kept pointing to the surrounding objects:

"I saw that there was no well, when I was a child, I used to hide in it, and there was a ladder underneath, which was where I used to hide during the war. Later, I was beaten by my father...... Your mother and I met there, when she led the horse to find the door of the Lu family, and wondered how the dignified Jinling Lu family lived in such a remote place......"

Xu Buling actually had this idea, but he didn't say it, just followed Mrs. Lu to take a look.

The Jinling Lu family ranks second in the 'Xiao Lu Cui Wang Li', and the family size is not smaller than the Xiao family, and most of the fields outside the city are the Lu family. However, the Lu family is not as extensive as the Xiao family, mainly taking official careers, but Lu Chengan, one of the Jiuqing, is not favored, so that in recent years, he has been a little depressed, most of the children in the family are studying in various places to become officials, and there are not as many people who stay in Jinling as the Xiao family.

As Mrs. Lu walked to the middle of the alley, she saw an old woman who was nearly fifty years old standing at the door, and her face could vaguely see some shadows of Mrs. Lu, and said with a smile:

"Hongluan is back."

"Mother!"

Mrs. Lu hurriedly withdrew her hand and bowed to her mother, whom she hadn't seen for many years.

Xu Buling also hurriedly saluted, hesitated, and then opened his mouth to say hello: "I've seen my aunt." ”

This name is obviously not right, Mrs. Lu frowned and thought about it, but she didn't know what to call it for a while. You can't call her mother grandma, that's too old-fashioned.

Mrs. Lu's mother didn't mind the salutation, and after greeting them twice, she led the two into the house.

The top nobles who can go to this position, the family style is generally impeccable, diligence and thrift are the basics, the Lu family and the Xiao family have no magnificent decorations, the mansion is very deep, after passing the small door is the alley between the courtyards, occasionally you can hear the voice of children, and other than that, there is only silence.

Xu Buling couldn't see how big this house was, but after walking for a long time, he didn't think it was much smaller than the Xiao family's ancestral house, but the architectural style looked a little small.

With Mrs. Lu came to the Xiao family's living room, the current head of the Lu family was not there, and it was Mrs. Lu's brother who came out to receive him, who was Xu Buling's future uncle, but Xu Buling didn't have the courage to call it that, so he sat next to him honestly and listened quietly.

Mrs. Lu misses her hometown very much, but she is now the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family after all, and she is considered a guest, except for accompanying her mother to talk to her heart for a while, she still maintains etiquette and rules at other times.

It wasn't until it was getting late that Mrs. Lu finished chatting about the trivial matters in Chang'an, and then took Xu Buling back to the boudoir where she grew up in her childhood......
