Rustle rustle......

A light rain fell into the silent house.

The room is surrounded by four walls, and the house leak coincides with overnight rain, and the situation is really not optimistic.

The night terror opened the oil-paper umbrella, covered the hole in the roof, lay down with a knife, and looked to the side of his ear—a fluffy bird, lying on the side of the pillow with its paws facing the sky, and tilting its head, and sleeping in a really unsightly place.

Although the little stupid bird is naughty and unreliable most of the time, he has been teaching 'sentry and reconnaissance' since he was a child, and he is not sloppy at all when he really does his work.

In the past, when I was darts, I was always a bird sentry, and I never went wrong.

However, now there is only one person and one bird, and it is a bit inhumane to let the bird bird day shift and night shift be connected, so the night terror hall sleeps for half the night, and gets up in the early morning to change shifts and let the bird rest.

In this era, there is no entertainment equipment, and it is a bit lonely to lie alone in bed in the dead of night.

Night Terror Hall is eighteen or nineteen years old, and he has been practicing martial arts all year round, out of biological nature, if he doesn't want a woman to call it a problem at this time.

So just lying down for a while, the picture of Pei Xiangjun leaning out of the window and the heavy arc in front of his shirt popped up involuntarily came to his mind......

Now that I think about it, it's really big......

Half-asleep and half-awake, the sound of non-existent speech came from the rain curtain:

"Huh? How can there be people living in it? How poor. ”

"It is estimated that he is a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, and he has no money to live in a hotel to shelter from the rain here...... Yunli, let's go......"

……

Night Terror Hall suddenly came back to his senses, and listened intently—the sound came from the mouth of the alley, not from the road, but from the top of the house.

The voice sounded like two women, one was a young girl, no more than eighteen years old; One is the royal sister voice, light and soft, it's hard to judge the age, and it looks like a mother and daughter from the tone.

Night Terror quietly held the knife in his arms and waited, the sound quickly disappeared, and there was a movement of rain hitting the hat and gradually moving away.

It seems that they are looking for a place to stay......

Night Terror suddenly understood where the hair found in the bed came from.

Shuanggui Lane is very remote, no one cares about it all year round, and it is suitable for people to hide; It is not uncommon for people in the rivers and lakes to find this kind of place to settle down.

These two people are gone, and the chance of meeting another wave of Jianghu people is extremely low, so he still hasn't changed places after thinking about it.

With such a fork, the 'conjecture' just now naturally cannot be continued.

Night Terror wiped his face and swept away the clutter, feeling that he had too much energy, so he got up and took a broom, and pondered the marksmanship of the 'Red God of Wealth' in the room.

After half an hour of self-care, the sky gradually dawned.

The Night Terror Hall packed up his clothes, wore a coat and a hat, hugged the sleeping bird under the coat, and led the horse out of the alley.

It was bright and rainy, and there were very few people on the streets.

After eating the cage meat buns, Night Terror walked down the street for just over two miles and came to Tianshui Bridge.

Tianshui Bridge is the property of the Pei family, with a variety of shops, rice shops, cloth villages, dart bureaus, and taverns, all of which have been opened.

Night Terror Hall came to the outside of the Zhenyuan Dart Bureau, and wanted to greet the washing dart master, but Yu Guang saw a maid holding an oil-paper umbrella in the alley not far away-it was the Sanniang maid I saw yesterday.

"Young Master Night, are you here so early?"

Night Terror Hall was slightly surprised, and led the horse to him:

"Come and have a look. Why are you waiting here? ”

"I heard Yang Darttou say last night, you have to find something to do at home, Sanniang is waiting for you at home, go, I'll take you over."

The maid Xiuhe said, took the reins, and wanted to hug the birds.

But the sleepy bird glanced at Xiuhe's clothes...... No interest.

The night terror hall handed the little stupid bird to Xiuhe, and came to the depths of the bluestone alley, it can be seen that the entire alley is the courtyard wall of a family, and the internal buildings are staggered, typical of large families.

However, most of the merchants' homes are low-key, and the gate is not magnificent, just a small door with a high wall, and a lantern with the word 'Pei' hanging.

Night Terror Hall followed Xiuhe into the house, and as soon as he turned the shadow wall, he saw a bunch of maids emerging from the corner of the verandah, looking at them curiously, and chattering:

"This is Young Master Night, right?"

"Well, Young Master Ye is not only handsome, but also has high martial arts. Yesterday I was on the street, and I saw with my own eyes that Young Master Ye knocked Chen Dadart's head down. ”

"Compared with the eldest young master, it is simply a heaven and an underground ......"

"No, no, I heard Sister Xiuhe say, the young master of the night is older, and the eldest young master will call the second young master in the future......"

……

When Night Terror Hall heard this, he asked Xiuhe a few words, and learned that his 'uncle' Pei Yuanming had an accident when he went out to do business, and he had passed away, leaving an only son, Pei Luo, who is the only seedling of the Pei family, and is currently studying in the academy, and there is no male in the family.

chatted along the road, and soon came to the living room of Pei's house.

Pei Xiangjun was already waiting in the living room, but he was not alone, there were two old men in their fifties sitting opposite, both frowning, as if they were talking about some trouble:

"This kind of scoundrel can't be dealt with ......"

"Yes, as long as you give a little sweetness, those people will definitely get an inch......"

Seeing this scene, the Night Terror Hall stopped in the verandah, waiting for Pei Xiangjun to finish talking.

However, the Pei family had already informed in advance, and as soon as he appeared, the two old men stood up and greeted him from afar:

"Shocking young master."

Night Terror didn't want to admit the identity of the young master of the Pei family, but he was Pei Yuanfeng's righteous son, and he couldn't recognize it, so he bowed his head and saluted back at the moment:

"You're polite, Sanniang, who are these two gentlemen?"

"It's the big shopkeeper in the family, and they are all the old people in the family."

Pei Xiangjun put away the 'sad face' between his eyebrows:

"You guys go back first."

"Yes."

The two shopkeepers immediately retired.

When the big bird saw the big milk sister, she suddenly stopped sleepy, and flew to Pei Xiangjun's lap with her little wings, and raised her head to sell cuteness with black eyes.

As a result, the view was blocked by the placket.

The bird tilted his head slightly, jumped curiously, and pushed his head against the top with his braincase.

Knock~knock~

The placket trembles, and the scenery is beautiful.

Pei Xiangjun hurriedly held down the bird and fed the melon seeds in his arms:

"Why are you so naughty?"

Night Terror Hall didn't see this scene, came to the tea pavilion and sat down, and asked:

"Sanniang and the two shopkeepers don't seem to be very happy, but there are trivial things to worry about in the shop?"

"Alas~"

Last night, the desperate Sanniang, who was able to 'uproot the weeping willows', became Lin Daiyu who became a funeral flower at this time, and sighed softly:

"Doing business, how can it be smooth. There is no man in charge of the family in charge, and those local snakes outside see that the orphans and widows of the Pei family are easy to bully, and they find fault and make trouble for a long time......"

"Oh?"

Night Terror Hall sat on the other side of the tea case, frowned and said:

"What's the trouble?"

"The ruffians at the riverbank wharf want to collect 'tribute' at Tianshui Bridge. My Pei family is doing serious business at the feet of the Son of Heaven, so naturally I can't give it, but as a result, these people are looking for things every once in a while, saying that the food is bad today and eating sick, and tomorrow saying that the cloth shop is shoddy, and it will be a day to make trouble, so that the shop can't do business......"

Night Terror Hall suddenly, he used to work in the dart game, and he really knew too much about this kind of thing:

"The Pei family is doing business in the capital, and it has nothing to do with the government? Or does the troublemaker have a background? ”

"The troublemaker is the Qinglian Gang at Jiang'an Wharf, which is also related to the government. We businessmen, the friendship with the Yamen Lord is all real money, and it is not worth using it for such a trivial matter; Let's solve it yourself, Chen Darttou, you can see it, it can't be even, so you can only hang it like this. ”

Pei Xiangjun held his forehead and looked at the night terror hall with a faint resentment:

"Alas~ The shops they disturb the most can't do business, so they don't dare to really do anything in the capital. My aunt is just a little wronged, and the patience will pass, you don't have to worry about it......"

This aggrieved and resentful little look is almost explicit.

Night Terror Hall naturally understood what it meant, and got up and said:

"I'll go take a look. Well...... I'm new here, it's really hard to find a way in the capital, and when things are settled, I'll be a dart master in Pei's house, and the salary Sanniang can look at it......"

Pei Xiangjun communicated with Night Terror Hall last night, so he naturally didn't talk nonsense at this time, got up and walked closer, and helped him tidy up his shirt:

"If the boy wants to support himself, I naturally won't force you to stuff silver. However, when you go out to do errands, you can still be the identity of the eldest young master of the Pei family, you are the second brother's righteous son, I treat you as a hired dart master, and you will be said coldly. ”

Pei Xiangjun came to him, the fragrant breeze was quite sultry, his face was already beautiful, and he also ordered vermilion rouge, his lips opened and closed, and his teeth loomed, with a gentle and mature temperament, it was like a red sleeve knife that specializes in cutting young men.

Night Terror Hall has a good concentration, but there is an upper limit, and he can't bear Sanniang's 'soft knife', so he takes a step back and tidies up his clothes:

"Understood, then I'll go to work first."

"Change your clothes, you look like the son of a big family. Xiuhe, let the young master go to change clothes, say hello to Chen Biao and them, and follow later. ”

"Good ......"

……

A moment later, outside the gate of Pei's house.

The old dart head Yang Chao, with two good dart masters, stood by a carriage and waited.

Chen Biao also took the two of them and chatted with Yang Chao:

"The leader of the Qinglian Gang, and you are still in this family, called Yang Guan, and there is a powerful master." Have you ever heard of the Three Peerless Immortals? ”

"Three Peerless Immortals Weng Guang Hanlin? Is it the self-proclaimed 'master of the rivers and lakes who has been given a word of guidance from Fengguancheng'? ”

"That's right, it's ...... him"

The little sixth son of the dart master behind Yang Chao, who was not very old, asked curiously:

"If someone points you out, can you blow it out? Jianghu Grandmaster is so worthless? ”

"You know what?"

Yang Chao wiped his beard and explained: "Fengguancheng is recognized as the first in the world, and it is invincible when it comes out of the mountain, and it occupies a unique position in the world. Not to mention being instructed by his old man, the people who can meet him are all heroes in the rivers and lakes......"

While he was talking, the sound of a maid chirping came from inside the door:

"Wow......"

"Young Master, don't go so fast......"

A few dart masters turned their heads to look, but saw a figure walking out from behind the shadow wall with an umbrella.

The figure is wearing a black boy's robe, the inner lining and outer shirt are all black, the fabric is a golden water cloud brocade, and the robe is like water waves and flowing clouds, which can be seen by the naked eye alone, and faintly glows with dark gold as the light changes.

The long hair is meticulously combed, tied up with a black jade hairpin, and the overall look is spotless, gentle and elegant, the only flaw is that he has a knife in his hand, which is slightly insulting.

The six sons of the dart master didn't recognize it, and the old dart head Yang Chao was also stunned, and looked carefully:

"Shaodong, your appearance is really unusual, it is said that it is a private visit by the prince, and it is estimated that few people will not believe it."

Night Terror hurriedly went out and jumped directly into the carriage:

"Let's go, let's go, these, alas......"

As soon as the words passed, a group of maids chased them out, looked from behind the shadow wall, and almost asked if they wanted the maids to accompany them.

Chen Biao was a little amused, jumped into the carriage, sat outside the carriage and reminded:

"Young master, you speak gently, so that Madame and Miss can hear the scenery."

"Yes, if you wear this outfit, don't mention a knife, you should take a fan."

While talking and laughing, six horses followed the carriage and made it out of Bluestone Lane......
