"The City God Temple is in disrepair all year round, the three houses are about to collapse, the old man Cheng is kind and benevolent, and he plans to renovate it, I think that this is a big guy after all, I can't let the Cheng family pay this silver, everyone will give a little, and everyone will collect firewood and the flame is high!" The shopkeeper Wang was the first to speak, and said with a smile, "No, I'm here with you for silver!" ”

Cheng Shen smiled: "I'm embarrassed to talk to you, thinking that our family can go out, and it's only thirty or fifty taels of silver." ”

On the fifteenth day of the first month, his father worshiped the lord of the city god and never stopped.

I have long wanted to fund the repair, but it is either this or that thing is delayed.

I had an illness last month, saying that I dreamed that the old man of the city god and his house were leaking rain, and asked him to come and have a look.

"The City God's Temple belongs to the big guys, how can you let your family pay for repairs." Hua Jiao beckoned the two of them to sit down, and said with a smile, "We should give out this silver." After thinking about it, he said, "In this way, our family will pay ten taels of silver, how much is a little heart!" ”

As he spoke, he went into the cabinet and took out the silver ticket to Cheng Shen: "Your family can work hard, and we only have to worry about silver." ”

"In this case, then I might as well be respectful." Cheng Shen happily put away the silver ticket.

"Oh, you're a big deal!" The shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "Don't hide it from Madame, I was the one who made this happen, but I only paid five taels of silver, which is really embarrassing." ”

"Shopkeeper Wang is polite, we have a lot of family!" Huajiao refilled the tea for the two, and the shopkeeper Wang looked at the peppercorns, and said, "I heard that your Hou Ye came back and brought a large cart of medicinal materials to Jirentang, what's the matter?" Are you in the herb business now? ”

"Yes, I saw it too, a cart full of medicinal herbs." Cheng Shen nodded in agreement, "Tu Xuan is happy to be like something, and he also said that he would invite me to tea in a few days!" ”

"I don't know about this yet!" Hua Jiao had heard that Jirentang had lost a batch of medicinal materials before, and she had long forgotten about it, but she didn't know that Pei Ze had really found the medicinal materials...... This person really didn't tell her.

The two sat down for a moment, then got up to take their leave.

Only then did the pepper return to the new house.

Pei Ze was sitting in the coat room with the child in his arms and listened to what Wang said about Pei Ying, he may have been outside for a long time, and he didn't like to go out when he came back, so he took the child in the house, and Zhang sat on the side with a sewing basket to do needlework.

Seeing Huajiao coming in, Wang got up and said, "When you come back, you can watch the child, and I will go to the town with Yingzi to see the fabric!" ”

Only then did Hua Jiao take the child from Pei Ze's hand and asked, "I heard that you brought a cart of medicinal herbs back yesterday?" ”

"Well, it was originally sent back a long time ago, but they lost a bag of medicinal herbs, and I asked them to make up for it." Pei Ze sat cross-legged on the kang and drank tea, "Cheng Gongzi, what are they looking for you?" ”

Hua Jiao told Pei Ze about the repair of the City God Temple and her donation of ten taels of silver: "We are the merchants in the town, and these things are inevitable. ”

Pei Ze nodded slightly: "It's a good thing, you should help with it." ”

Pei An jumped in and walked in: "Third brother, a guest has come, saying that he is looking for you." ”

"Who?" Pei Ze looked out the window and handed the child to the peppercorns.

"It's a woman." Pei An glanced at the peppercorn, "She said she was waiting for you on the third floor of the Mingxiang Building." ”

"I'll take a look." Pei Ze lifted the curtain and walked out.

Hua Jiao hugged the child, beckoned Pei An, and instructed: "You go to the small account room on the third floor of me to get something, and listen to what they say by the way, remember, don't startle the snake, the more you hear, the more rewards." ”

"Okay." Pei An looked excited and walked quickly to Mingxiang Building.

Zhang listened and smiled without saying a word.

The old Lin came back from buying something and knocked on the window; "The owner, it's all back."

"Wait a minute, my sister is going out." Hua Jiao responded, so he asked Zhang to prepare to leave, and gave her the monthly money he had said, "Go home for the New Year, and come back after the fifteenth next year." ”

"Thank you, ma'am." Zhang smiled, hugged the child, and went out with the baggage.

Mingxiang Building, 3rd floor.

"Boss Xu is here, but is there something wrong?" Pei Ze asked expressionlessly.

"Of course there is something, my Xu Yingniang has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace." Xu Yingniang smiled and sat down to herself, "We don't talk darkly, Hou Ye won't forget the events of that night, right?" ”

Pei Ze looked at her deeply: "What happened that night?" ”

"Zhennanhou is really a noble man who forgets things." Xu Yingniang was not angry, and said calmly, "On the night of the second day of the first lunar month last month, you drank in my cloth house, you were drunk, I don't blame you, I didn't think about what to do with you, but ...... I have it, so between you and me, it's really unclear. ”

"Boss Xu, don't want to spew blood, you and I were not alone that night, there are also Lord Zhao and Lord Tang, I am innocent with you, and there is no transgression." Pei Ze said with a cold face, "Even if you are pregnant, it will definitely not be mine." ”

The reason why he went to the banquet was because he suspected that Zhao Yan and Tang Shuo were Prince Chun's people.

Not for her.

What's more, he didn't drink Buyiju's wine that night, so naturally he couldn't talk about getting drunk, but he, like Zhao Yan and Tang Shuo, had a brief fainting, and when he woke up, both of them said that they had drunk too much, and afterwards he suspected that it should be caused by the incense in the house.

Although the fragrance is light, it lasts for a long time.

He still had that smell on him for days.

"Sure enough, you men love to do these things that you don't admit when you lift your pants." Xu Yingniang stroked her nails and said, "Although I am a widow, I am also the daughter of a serious family, and I was bullied for no reason, is it possible to forget it like this?" ”

Pei Ze stood in front of the window, stood with his hands in his hands, and asked coldly: "Dare to ask Boss Xu why he thinks that person is me?" ”

"Because the maidservant found this by my side at the time!" Xu Yingniang took out a string of jade waist ornaments from her arms and showed them to Pei Ze, "Master Hou dares to say, isn't this waist ornament yours?" ”

Pei Ze subconsciously looked down at his waist ornament.

He has several strings of such waist ornaments, and he really doesn't care about what is missing, but it does not rule out the possibility that he lost it.

Pei Ze frowned and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

At this point, explanations are useless.

It depends on what her motives are.

"Hou Ye said this, it really chilled my heart." Xu Yingniang said with a straight face, "It's not what I'm going to do, it's what the Hou Ye is going to do?" ”

"I don't have any plans, because I don't think this kid is mine at all, and I don't need to." Pei Ze looked at her and said in a deep voice, "Xu Yingniang, I have told a lie a hundred times, but after all, it is still a lie, I think it is better to say anything directly, and there is no need to go around such a big circle." ”
