When I came to the door of the Hua family's mansion, I saw three or two gangers standing scattered by the door and on the top of the courtyard wall, and sure enough, the number of guards was much smaller than usual.

The one who received Yan Zhenbei in the living room was Zhen Niang, the big housekeeper of the Hua family's mansion.

"Oh, what kind of wind blew Mr. Yan's dart, it's really a rare guest! Sit down quickly, let the concubine make a pot of good tea as the head dart!" Zhen Niang smiled and let Yan Zhenbei sit down in front of the chair.

Yan Zhenmen also smiled all over his face, hugged his fists and said: "Madam is polite, Yan Zhenbei doesn't dare to be." I haven't seen Hongzhu's niece for a few days, so it's a bit presumptuous to come to visit!"

Although the purpose of Yan Zhenbei's trip is to pull business for the "Five Tigers Dart Bureau", he always has to find a suitable excuse to not be obtrusive. Hai Hongzhu has been married into the Hua family's mansion for nearly half a year, and after the death of Hai Lao Boxer, Yan Zhenbei's uncle has become her only maiden family, and he can be regarded as half of the Hua family's in-laws.

When Zhen Niang heard this, she nodded again and again, and said: "The head of the dart should come often, how can there be any presumptuousness! The young grandmother's family is small, and when she marries into our Hua family, there are few relatives who come to visit, and the young master always does not accompany her at home, she stays alone in the backyard all day long, and I look at it all the time! A few days ago, she always asked me when Mr. Yan would come, and now that Yan Ye is here, I just went to meet her!"

Yan Zhenbei said with a smile: "She is a country child, I'm afraid she doesn't understand the rules, so she has to worry about Mrs. more!"

When Hai Hongzhu and Hua Bushi first got married, Yan Zhenbei also came to visit once, and as soon as Hai Hongzhu met, he pestered his godfather uncle to teach her to practice the "Five Tigers Broken Door Knife". Although Yan Zhenbei felt that she was a girl's family, and after getting married, she should teach her husband and children well, and it was really useless to practice kung fu again, but she couldn't be pestered in the end, so she casually taught her a few tricks to get started.

Hearing Zhen Niang say that Hai Hongzhu asked herself a few days ago, Yan Zhenbei expected that this girl must be waiting for him to come and teach her knife skills.

After a few sips of tea and a few polite words with Zhen Niang, Yan Zhenbei took the opportunity to mention the business of the dart game.

Zhen Niang frowned, and said: "I don't know anything about the head of the dart, a few days ago, the master and Master Mo hurried to Changsha Mansion, the business in Wuyang City is unattended, most of them have been closed, and now there is really no goods to be escorted, I am afraid that I will not be able to take care of your business." ”

She rolled her beautiful eyes and said: "But Mr. Yan doesn't need to worry, when the business reopens in the future and the goods need to be delivered, the concubine will go to ask your dart bureau for help." ”

Yan Zhenbei said: "Then thank you Madame for taking care of you! But I don't know when Master Hua and Master Mo will return to Wuyang?"

Zhen Niang said: "Master, they have come back early this morning, and the business of the shop will open in three or five days at most. ”

Yan Zhenbei looked happy and said: "That's great, there is nothing to do in the dart game recently, those dart masters are idle, if I can't get a job again, my little 'Five Tigers Dart Bureau' is about to be unable to support them!"

Zhen Niang pursed her lips and smiled: "The head of the dart is too modest!" The 'Five Tigers Dart Bureau' is famous in Wuyang City, how can it be considered small? Hongzhu girl married into our Hua family, our two families can be regarded as a family of children and daughters, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other. ”

Although there is no definite whereabouts yet, but with Zhen Niang's promise, Yan Zhenbei is not in vain. After chatting with Jane for a while, he got up and said goodbye.

Although it was just an excuse, since he came, of course Yan Zhenbei still wanted to take a look at Hai Hongzhu. Zhen Niang sent Yan Zhenbei to the back garden and said: "The young grandmother lives in the small courtyard in front, and Mr. Yan went in to see her, and the concubine still has some things, so she won't accompany the head dart." ”

Yan Zhenbei hurriedly said: "Yan Zhenbei can go in by himself, don't dare to accompany his wife!"

Jane is gone.

The gate of the small courtyard was not closed, and there was a mahogany plaque hanging on the forehead of the door, with the inscription "Xianxian Yuan".

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I heard a "ding dong" sound, but someone was stroking the piano in the house, and the sound of the piano was melodious and the artistic conception was quite profound. Yan Zhenbei nodded secretly, and said: Hongzhu, this girl has been married into the Hua family for so long, and she has finally grown a little, it is not easy to learn to play the piano, and she is no longer like before, thinking about dancing and practicing swords, punching and kicking all day long, that is not what the daughter-in-law of a big family should do.

After walking two more steps, I had just come to the window, but the sound of the piano in the room had stopped, and I could only hear someone chanting:

"There is a beautiful woman, see it and never forget it, and if you don't see it for a day, you think like crazy...... The phoenix is soaring, seeking the phoenix from all over the world, and the helpless beauty is not ...... on the east wall."

The voice of the poem was subdued, but it was the voice of a man. Yan Zhenbei's heart was shocked, but he immediately heard that it was the voice of the eldest young master of the Hua family, it turned out that Hua Bushi had also returned to Wuyang City from Changsha, and it was him who played the piano in the house.

But I heard Hua Bushi in the room say: "This 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix' is an ancient song of the Jin Dynasty, and it is really a swan song to express the aspirations of the Yongzhi, I don't know if the lady likes to listen to it?"

Yan Zhentou is a martial artist who was born as a bodyguard, and he has never known what ancient songs of the previous dynasties are, but when he heard the name Hua Bushi said, he could guess that it must be a song about the love of men and women, so he stopped at the moment.

A young couple was talking about love in the house, and although Yan Zhenbei was an elder, it was inconvenient to disturb him.

Earlier, there was a legend in Wuyang City that this young master and his new wife were not very harmonious, so he left Hai Hongzhu and went to Changsha City alone as soon as he got married, but Yan Zhenbei didn't believe it. On that day, Hua Bushi came to the door and asked Yan Zhenbei to go to the old boxer to talk to the old boxer, and he also put down the cruel words of "it must be done", it was he who fell in love with Hai Hongzhu, even if this young master likes the new and hates the old, he will not become so fast.

Thinking of Hai Changqing, Yan Zhenbei felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Hongzhu is now married into a rich family, his righteous brother has worked hard all his life, he has already worked hard, but who knows that he passed away one step earlier, it is really a trick of God, and there is no happy life!

Hai Hongzhu's marriage, the situation of the Hai family is very different. The eldest nephew Hai Dashan's kung fu is good, Yan Zhenbei wanted to take him to the dart game as an executioner, but the Hua family said that they must not let their brothers offend the darts, and invited Hai Dashan to the "Evil Dog Gate" to be the head of the boxing stick in the martial arts hall opened in Wuyang City, and he easily took a lot of silver, which is said to be an arrangement made by this young master Hua himself.

Yan Zhenbei didn't know that Hua Bushi's real intention of leaving Hai Dashan in the "Evil Dog Gate" was to restrain Hai Hongzhu, but he only felt that since the eldest young master took care of his in-laws and uncles like this, because he was very obsessed with Hai Hongzhu, those words that said that their husband and wife were not harmonious must be rumors.

I heard Hua Bushi say again: "This ancient song was learned by me in Changsha City, and it took me a lot of time to learn it, so please ask Miss Hai to evaluate it." ”

"You really play well, much better than the one who played cotton at my door earlier! But the number of noble treasures is not good, and it is not as good as the gentleman who speaks allegro in the teahouse. The voice is crisp, it is the voice of Hai Hongzhu.

If you want to talk about fists, feet and sticks, this sea heroine still knows a little bit about it, Hua Bushi asked her to evaluate ancient songs, but it is not much different from playing the piano to the cow.

Hua Bushi sneered: "Fuqin and chanting poetry is an elegant thing, how can it be compared with playing cotton and talking about allegro, the lady laughed." ”

Hai Hongzhu said: "People play cotton to support their families, and Mr. Allegro is also telling the story of a big hero and a hero, and Weishenme can't compare to you playing the piano and chanting poetry?"

Hua Bushi was silent for a while before he said, "What Miss Hai said is also right. You don't like this song 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix', I don't think you like to listen to the soft and graceful tune, I will play another song 'Ambush on All Sides', the lady may like to listen. ”

Hai Hongzhu said: "You better save some effort! As the son of a family, you are either talking about love all day long, or playing the piano and reciting poetry, which is what a big husband does!"

Hua Bushi said: "In the opinion of a lady, how can it be regarded as a husband's doing?"

Hai Hongzhu said: "A manly man, even if you can't serve the country and make meritorious contributions, you should at least practice martial arts and sword battles to eliminate harm for the people, that's what heroes and heroes do, but you are a pest yourself, and you can eliminate harm!"

Hua Bushi said with a smile: "It turns out that the lady still has such expectations for her husband, Hua Bushi must work hard to do it." ”

Hai Hongzhu chirped: "Who expects anything from you, what do you have to do with me if you don't work hard! You promised not to restrict my freedom before, but I can't think of the Hua family mansion in the past few months, what is the reason!"

Hua Bushi Qi said: "Yes, but the gang guarding the door won't let you go out of the house?"

He immediately said "oh" and said, "That's probably the rule set by my father when I am not in Wuyang." ”

Hai Hongzhu said: "I don't care, anyway, I have something to do at home." ”

Hua Bushi said: "If my father sets the rules, even I don't dare to disobey them, I don't know if Miss Hai has something to do with going out of the house?"

Hai Hongzhu said: "You can't control it, I'm going to leave the house, do you agree?"

Hua Bushi was silent for a while, and then said: "Actually, it's not difficult to get out of the house, as long as you know the way, sneak out, my father didn't allow me to go out of the house before, and I often do this......"

He stopped talking and suddenly asked, "Who's out the window?"

Although this eldest young master doesn't know martial arts, his ears are very sensitive, and he can actually hear someone outside the window.

Yan Zhenbei didn't believe that Hua Bushi and Hai Hongzhu were not in harmony with their husband and wife, but after listening to their words and conversations just now, he felt that there was no harmony between the two of them.

He hurriedly coughed lightly, walked to the door, and said, "I'm Yan Zhenbei, and I'm here to visit Hongzhu's niece." ”
