"Venerable, what is this—" the old man asked, wiping the sweat from his head with a handkerchief.

"Where to stay, do you still need to ask!" The old lady pointed to the old man's nose and said angrily, "Let them all hurry up and let me in, and stand on the road waiting for people to visit?"

Although the old lady looked quite unhappy, the bald old man still expressed the doubts in his heart: "Venerable, this courtyard is a little bigger, isn't it? ”

This old man usually went out on a mission in thousands of places, and before carrying out the task, he would basically find a place to stay in the local area for a while and live an "incubation period" for a few days. And this temporary place of residence is usually a very remote and quiet, very unobtrusive place.

But now this courtyard is different, this is a single-family compound, the courtyard wall is quite high, not to mention, there is a two-story building in the courtyard that looks like the area is not small.

This is a suitable place for people like them to live, and this is a courtyard that only a large family can afford.

After listening to the old man's question, the old lady laughed angrily twice, turned back to the courtyard, and closed the courtyard door with a "bang!"

"You can live wherever it is suitable, the old lady will not bother with you. Before closing the door, the old lady said angrily.

When the door closed, the old man shrunk his neck, and then quickly ran to the door, "bang" the door.

"Don't be angry, Venerable! The old man whispered as he knocked against the crack in the door.

"Boss, what kind of temper does this old lady have?" said the man with a full face and beard to the old man with great dissatisfaction.

"This, how do I know how to go. The old man sweated as he banged on the door. He was afraid that a bunch of them would be gathered outside a large courtyard and be targeted by someone.

"This is really, we have worked hard to come to this Yanfeng capital, but we were said by such a face-shaking old lady to hang here, I am really ......" The bearded man did not finish his words, and the door of this courtyard was opened.

"What are you really doing?" opened the door by a very handsome girl, dressed as a little maid.

The little girl frowned, and said to the old man and the beard that was muttering just now: "You were at fault first, and you made our old lady angry. Now not only do I not know repentance, but I still chew my tongue behind this. They are all very big old men, and they don't know shame. ”

was reprimanded by the little maid who opened the door, and neither the old man nor the bearded man dared to refute. Finally, someone opened the door, for fear of saying the wrong word again, and completely closed the outside.

"Alright, come in quickly, it's almost lunch, you better hurry up. When the little maid saw that she had been told about it, the two of them were silent, so she ordered the little maid in the courtyard to open the courtyard door and put into the courtyard everything that was outside and even the people and cars.

After a while, all the carriages were driven into the yard.

"Come on, it's time to eat. "Just in time, the little maid and several servants came out from the kitchen in the courtyard with several cauldrons, as well as stools and cutlery.

Under the command of the little servant, the more than 20 people lined up, prepared lunch one after another, sat on the stool and ate.

After tossing all morning, these people were indeed hungry, and after receiving the food, they devoured it, and the little maid also spoke, you can eat as much as you want, you can do enough.

Although the meal was a bit simple, it was enough to be able to fill these people. These guys can really eat it, and soon, these big pots and even the staple dishes with soup and water were eaten completely.

The little maid stood by and waited for the old man to finish eating. As soon as he put down the dishes and chopsticks, the little maid stepped forward and asked, "Are you full?"

"Alas, full, full. The old man said to the little maid with a smile.

"When you're full, follow me upstairs. After the little maid finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the two-story building in this courtyard, "Let these people wait in the courtyard, you can come up and listen to the instructions." ”

"Good, good. The old man agreed, and ordered the well-fed young men to wait honestly in the courtyard, and then followed the little maid into the building.

This little maid may usually serve the old lady, and her steps are also fast. The bald old man followed her and soon ascended to the second floor.

When I came up, there was not a single compartment on the second floor, it was a whole room, and it looked very large.

In the middle of the room, there was a bookcase, behind which a woman in a white veil and a white dress was sitting at the top of the stairs, and the old lady who had brought them over was standing behind the woman in white with her hands down.

"Uh, what is this?" After the old man came up, he was obviously stunned when he saw the scene in front of him.

"This is the person who replied to you on behalf of Boss Jia. The old lady stretched out her hand to the old man and introduced the woman in white.

"Reply to Lao Jia?" Listening to the old lady's words, the old man's face changed, "What, didn't he personally send back the letter that let us enter Beijing?"

"Mr. Direction, the letter must have been sent back by Boss Jia, but others are a little busy, so I will bring him back the letter. The woman in white answered the old man's question.

"Dare to ask the girl, who are you?" Although there were still many doubts, the old man still raised his fists and asked.

"My surname is Wei, you can call me Miss Wei. The woman in white replied.

"Miss Wei. After the old man read it to himself, he then asked, "Then may I ask Miss Wei, where is Boss Jia, who was supposed to send a message to us?"

"I don't know if the old gentleman has heard of Wenfang Building. Miss Wei explained: "The singing and dancing girls there are the top in the entire Yanfengke. Now, Boss Jia is being entertained there, and he is a little happy. ”

"Then how can we meet him?" said the old man, before he had finished asking.

"Soon, you'll see each other soon. Miss Wei said, looking at the bookcase in front of her, the incense that was about to burn out.

Although I don't know what Miss Wei means when she looks at this incense, she still has an ominous premonition in the bald old man's heart.

"Who are you?" the old man glared at the old lady and Miss Wei.

"I've already introduced myself to you, my surname is Wei. Miss Wei chuckled and said, "As for this old mother, I remember that you didn't call her Venerable?"

Hearing Miss Wei say this, the old man's nose was almost crooked.

This Wei girl is the Wei girl in Wenfang Building. And this old man and the more than 20 people in the courtyard now are the ones she used to use the merchant surnamed Jia in the dungeon to catch the big fish in the capital.

"How dare you pretend to be someone from my church!?" said the old man in disbelief.

"What, did we do something wrong?" Miss Wei said innocently: "We are indeed pretending to be your people, but unfortunately, you are so stupid that you are really deceived." ”

"You are offending our sect master," the old man glared angrily, gritted his back molars, and said word by word, "You will be damned!"

"I don't care if I am damned or not. Miss Wei didn't believe a word about what the old man said, she just looked at the burned incense on the bookcase lightly, and said silently.

"But you are about to be punished. ”
