Lord of the House

Although Qingfenghang is a secretly cultivated power of the She family in Jiangning, many people in Jiangning know it, but in order to take care of the court's face and the public's emotions, She Feihu and his party stayed in a post house in the city when they first arrived in Jiangning. , and will not publicly meet with Du Rong and other Qingfeng executives.

He was assassinated outside Donghua Gate. Although he killed nearly 30 assassins, five or six people escaped. The accompanying guards suffered heavy casualties. I don’t know how many officials in Jiangning are gloating behind their backs. She Feihu’s heart is unimaginable. . The only thing that comforted him was that his wife and sister were rescued in time. If they were kidnapped and stayed outside the city overnight, even if they were rescued in the future, it would be a shame for the luxury family.

Back at the post house, the pine resin candles in the hall were burning, exuding a strong aroma, and green smoke curled up. She Mingyue and her sister-in-law Song Jia went back to the room to wash up and change into clean clothes before returning to the hall.

It was already dark, but there was a faint hoarse cry from the old tree in front of the court.

"Drive the old crow away." Song Jia slipped her skirt around with both hands to avoid dragging the skirt onto the brick floor. Listening to the crow's screaming, she ordered the guards at the door to drive it away. She put on her makeup, still bright and beautiful, and her clear eyes were illuminated by the candlelight. Shining brightly, it seems that what happened today has no effect on her.

She Mingyue was haggard and depressed, so she came back from washing and changing clothes to cheer up a little.

She Feihu took off his armor, changed into a plain robe and sat on the soft couch in front of the desk. The wound on his hand was still wrapped in white cloth. He was sitting there with his staff to discuss matters, and saw his wife and sister coming with him. Holding the table in his hands, he sat up straight, and said, "Why didn't you rest earlier?" The She family aide sitting next to him was a young Confucian scholar in his early thirties, wearing a green robe, watching Song Jia and She Mingyue come in. , stood up and called softly: "Young madam, miss..."

"Husband, you have to rest early. You are our backbone, and there will be no accident at all. Does the injury on your hand matter?" Song Jia sat down and didn't seem to notice the embarrassment on She Feihu's face. , and lightly opened his red lips and asked the young scholar standing aside, "Zitan was also frightened today, right?"

"Thank you madam for your concern." The young scholar was very respectful. Seeing that the young madam didn't seem to ask about the brother who was martyred today, he just stood by and didn't say much.

"Did you send someone to inquire about the origin of Lin Fu?" Song Jia asked again, "Although they are not on the same path as the assassins, their intentions to save me and Mingyue are not simple."

She Mingyue's face was thin after all. When her sister-in-law said that Lin Fu's thoughts of saving people were not simple, she thought of searching Lin Fu on the carriage. Her face was reddish, and she felt a little hot. She sat beside her sister-in-law. Silent.

"Qingfengxing sent two more people to contact us," She Feihu said, "Jiangning House and Jiangdong County's Sansi Yamen have fought fiercely. This Lin Fu is Gu Wuchen's disciple, and he will naturally not be pure in our minds. "He didn't think about going anywhere else. Lin Fuzhen wanted to covet the beauty of his wife and sister, and would never send people back safely before dark.

Song Jia sat in front of the case at will, lightly holding her pink cheeks and looking at the flickering candles in the hall, recalling all the details of what happened today, she knew very little about Lin Fu, and she only knew about him when she went to Jiangdong, the inspector, Si Yamen. He is a disciple of Gu Wuchen, the deputy envoy of the Jiangdong inspector, and he is famous for his son's fame. He may be about to go to Jiangdong to be an unprofessional official, but he is a chivalrous person and has no Confucian sourness. His temperament and demeanor are completely different from her past. known man. When she searched Lin Fu in the carriage, she was ready to be humiliated, but she was wrong. She knew that even her father-in-law, the Marquis of Jin An, had a blazing fire in his eyes when he looked at her.

The guard outside the door came in and reported, "Master Young Master, Du Rong is here."

"Didn't you tell him not to walk around casually?" She Feihu frowned slightly, waved his hand again, and said, "Since the person is here, please invite him in."

Afraid of being recognized by the people in the inn, the people who are guarding She Feihu in the inn tonight are all soldiers of the army and horse division of Jiangning Prefecture. After entering the house, Du Rong put down the hood covering his head and shielded the wind from the wind. He took off his black robe and handed it over to the guards, and saluted She Feihu, Song Jia, and She Mingyue: "Master Young Master, Young Madam, and Miss Mingyue, it's Du Rong's crime today that deserves death..."

"It's none of your business, these assassins are dead soldiers, and they can't be prevented," She Feihu said, "You came to see me so late, what else is there?"

"Master Young Master has lost some people outside Dongcheng. Du Rong is afraid that there will not be enough people around Master Young Master, and there are many people in Jiangning City who want to be detrimental to Master Young Master. Du Rong specially selected fifty people for Master Young Master. They are all the children that Du Rong brought out from Jin'an, they are absolutely reliable," Du Rong said, "and Lin Fu, Du Rong felt it was necessary to come over and talk to Master Shaohou in person. I'm about to talk about the Baisha County robbery..." Having said that, Du Rong paused for a while, and glanced at the young lady Song Jia from the corner of his eye.

"Let's talk, isn't she a woman who didn't succeed? I don't know how to deal with this..." Song Jia said in a cold voice, she also wondered what Lin Juren had to do with the Baisha County robbery today.

Du Rong started with the robbery in Baisha County, and told She Feihu, Song Jia and She Mingyue what he knew about Lin Fu.

"It's an interesting person," Song Jia didn't know how to describe Lin Fu, and her red lips parted lightly, "Mr. Du said that Lin Fu's first impression was just a very ordinary Confucian scholar. It's very different, I don't think it's puzzling, men always lose their standards in front of beautiful women, isn't the Baisha County robbery a stupid thing Feihu wants you to do?"

Du Rong had long heard that the young lady was a powerful character, so she could only stand there silently at this time; She Feihu coughed a few times in embarrassment, trying to cover up the embarrassment.

"As for what Lin Fu said to be incompatible with Qingfengxing, Mr. Du should not take it too seriously, and don't take it seriously. I think most of it is Jiyun Club who wants to use Qingfengxing to establish a name in Jiangning. Listen to Du The husband said that Jiyun Club is an empty shell, and it is not easy for an empty shell to establish a foothold in Jiangning. Most people turn around and forget about Jiyun when they hear the name of Jiyun Club. The society exists as Qingfengxing's mortal enemy, which is deeply impressed, maybe other Qingfengxing opponents in Jiangning City will take the initiative to contact Jiyun Society," Song Jia casually sat in front of the desk, holding her cheeks in her hands. , looked at his husband She Feihu with bright eyes, and said softly, "In this way, this Lin Fie is a person who has both courage, scheming, and decisiveness. I'm afraid his heart will not be too soft, you After the inspector, Si Yamen said that he would go to the other manor in two days and then pay him in person, and I want to go with you."

"Let's talk about it later..." She Feihu grabbed hold of his wife, and it was inconvenient to refuse her any request, and asked Du Rong, "Where is this forest bound in Jiangning City?"

"Uh," Du Rong hesitated for a moment, then said the truth, "This residence of Lin Tie in Jiangning City is called Jiyunju, in Dustpan Alley, separated from Sumei girl's Baiyuan by a family."

She Feihu's brows twitched, but Song Jia chuckled lightly and said, "Nuo, Nuo, he's really a guy who dares to take food from a tiger's mouth."

Du Rong asked worriedly, "Will they know something?"

"Even if they know, what's there to worry about?" Song Jia said with a smile, "If it's not just a singer, it's just a knife, how much more waves can it make?"

When Du Rong saw the young lady saying this with a smile, she felt a chill go up her back.

********************

After sending Gu Wuchen to the review house, Lin Fu and other talents led the horses across the street and back to Dustpan Alley.

A little tired, when he returned to Jiyunju, Lin Fu went back to his room to rest. Liu Yueer brought tea in and put it on the desk. Seeing a letter on the corner of the desk, he asked suspiciously, "When did you send the letter? Did you deliberately tell Qian Xiaowu/not to enter the son's room?" Since she scared Lin Fu from behind last time, she also knew that Lin Fu didn't like others approaching his bedroom for no reason, so she specially ordered Qian Xiaowu , Don't come to the main courtyard if you have nothing to do with Yunniang and his wife. She only comes in when Lin Fu is there. Tonight until Lin Fu and the others come back, there are no other people in this house except Qian Xiaowu, Yunniang and her and her. , how can this letter appear on the bookcase for no reason?

Lin Fu took the letter, but it was a note left by Si Niangzi. Su Mei wanted to see him, but Si Niangzi was inconvenient to wait in the yard for a long time, so she left a note. He looked at Liu Yue'er's charming eyes under the lamp with some doubts. In order not to make her suspicious of Qian Xiaowu and his wife, he said, "A friend who doesn't like to be disturbed, this letter was left by her..." He thought to himself Perhaps Su Mei heard the news that the second son of the She family had entered Jiangning.

"Uh," Liu Yue'er responded and asked again, "By the way, when I see outsiders in this yard in the future, how do I know it's the thief and the son's friend?"

"..." Lin Fie laughed lightly, looking at Liu Yue'er, who had delicate eyebrows and a charming face under the lamp, looking at herself with a little slyness, and said, "You have seen this friend of mine, he was with Xiao when he first entered Jiangning. Pretty girl Feng, if you see her in the yard in the future, don't be scared and fall again."

"..." Liu Yue'er wondered how Miss Feng could come to the yard without disturbing others. She reminded Lin Bing of the last time she slapped her foot. She felt her face was a little hot, and she was afraid that she would turn red again. , I'm sorry to stay in Lin Bie's room again, there is always a strange feeling when I'm alone with Lin Bie's room, I whispered, "I know..." and backed out. She was not in a hurry to go back to the backyard, she stood in the dark corridor outside and thought about some things. Since she rushed over to be the cook for Lin Fu, she had more than a month. , she can go home with the host during the New Year's holiday, but she can't bring up the idea of ​​returning to Shiliang County, and it's not bad to stay here for the New Year's Day.

When she first came here, Liu Yue'er was really wary of Lin Bie.

After all, these days, women show up as servants for the master's family. If they are innocent, they will not be able to justify it. It is better that the servants lynch the master's family and get some fine money. If the maid raped the master's family, the government will not Accepted. How many of those handsome maids from big families are married or are they perfect? Some are married because they have children in their wombs and are not swept away by the housewife. Those bachelors who have difficulty getting a wife can get a beautiful wife and a generous dowry. Naturally, they won't mind whether the married woman is perfect or has become a cheap father.

Liu Yue'er is no longer a girl who is simply ignorant of the world. Back then, when Mrs Gu came over to be Lin Fu's cook, she knew that she was almost Lin Fu's woman in the eyes of others. The innocence and chastity of a common widow have never been It's all insignificant, but she always has an inexplicable persistence in her heart. She still hides a pair of scissors by the bedside. Unfortunately, the last time she rubbed Lin Bing's feet for a long time, she rubbed her feet so much that the scissors didn't work. These days In the past, when she saw that pair of scissors, she felt amused, and her emotions were inexplicably melancholy.

Seeing Lin Bie blowing out the lights in the room, she thought he was going to sleep, Liu Yue'er also planned to go back to the backyard to sleep, but unexpectedly Lin Bie pushed the door and came out with a "squeaky" sound. Liu Yueer stood in the dark for a while, getting used to the dark environment, and could see Lin Fu changed into short clothes and looked like he was about to go out; but Lin Fu just came out of the light, and could not see Liu Yueer in the dark.

Liu Yue'er was startled until she saw that Lin Bie was about to bump into her. She wanted to dodge but was afraid that she would slap her foot like the last time, so she hurriedly reminded in a low voice, "Master, it's me..."

Lin Bing stopped his feet and almost touched Liu Yueer's body. The tip of his nose rubbed against the bangs in front of her forehead. He took a step back and looked at her eyes with a slight sheen in the dark. What rubbed her body, the aroma on her body was really good, and she asked, "Why are you standing outside?"

"I...I..." Liu Yueer didn't know what to say about her wandering in the corridor, she could feel Lin Fu's hot breath spraying on her face, she stammered, "I...I I didn't want to stand outside on purpose..." Suddenly I felt that this explanation was wrong, and Lin Fu clearly had secret things to do, but he was caught by himself who was standing in the corridor with nothing to do. Bie and what they do are mysterious and invisible. A scary thought flashed in their minds, and they looked up at Lin Bie in fear.

"What are you afraid of?" Lin Fu asked, seeing that there was some fear in Liu Yue'er's eyes.

"I'm not... I'm not afraid of anything." Liu Yue'er said angrily.

"You're afraid that you bump into me and I'm doing a shameful act," Lin Bie laughed and pointed to the roof, "Actually, I just like to blow the air on the eaves when I have nothing to do, why don't you try it too?"

Liu Yue'er knew that Lin Bie was talking nonsense, but she felt that the thought just now was inexplicable, and she said coquettishly, "Who knows if you climbed the wall to steal the little daughter-in-law of which family?" After she said that, she felt that this was too much. He was frivolous, and he was afraid that Lin Bie would say something frivolous to her with the stick.

"You really guessed it," Lin Bie smiled and said, "Keep it a secret for me."

Liu Yue'er only thought Lin Fu was joking, and her mind turned fast, she dared to ask, "How can you get up on the roof?" She seemed to believe that Lin Fu was dressed like this in the middle of the night. She was just preparing to go up. The roof is blowing.

Liu Yueer pretended to be confused, and Lin Fu also pretended to be confused, so she couldn't tell Liu Yueer that he was going to meet Su Mei.

Lin Fu didn't know whether to tell Liu Yueer more things. If Liu Yueer knew more things here, he would never give Liu Yueer to Gu Wuchen as his concubine; Just living in this courtyard, Lin Fu can prevent Qian Xiaowu and Yunniang from entering and leaving the main courtyard at will, but he will use Liu Yueer as the housekeeper, so he cannot restrict her from entering or leaving the main courtyard. Tell her that such a smart woman can always see some clues.

How to deal with Liu Yueer, Lin Fu felt a headache, and thought that after he went to Jiangdao Prison to be the prison officer, he would leave Liu Yueer here and deal with it coldly.

Liu Yue'er pretended to be confused again and said, "Go to the hair dryer, be careful not to freeze, I'll go back to rest first..." She turned around and walked towards the corner corridor in the dark, listening to the strange noise behind her, she looked back. At a glance, I saw Lin Fu's dark figure climbed up the courtyard wall like a monkey, and disappeared into the night along the ridge of the wall in the blink of an eye. She is not a stupid woman with no mouth and no ears. Of course, she knows that Jiang Ning is at the end of Dustpan Alley. In Baiyuan, where the famous Ji Su Mei lives, Su Mei happens to have a close-fitting and beautiful little maid named Xiao Man, but she doesn't know how Su Mei has a private meeting with Lin Fu at night? Since the husband is in love and the concubine is interested, why can't they openly date?

****************

Lin Fu didn't care what Liu Yue'er was thinking, and when he got to the top of the wall, he leaned against the ridge of the wall and came towards Baiyuan.

Except for Xiaoman and Si Niangzi, the people around Su Mei, other servants, servants, and the nurses in the front yard are almost all sent by the vassal family, and none of them are particularly trustworthy.

Lin Fu turned over and entered the back garden. To avoid being touched by others, she saw that the lights in Sumei's room were still on, and she walked to the window of Sumei's room against the foot of the wall. She also had to make sure that there was no one else in her room.

"Should you wash up and go to bed first, I don't know when Brother Lin will be able to come over," Xiao Man said while yawning in the room, "Maybe he won't come over tonight—if he comes back at night, he will go to that little widow's first. Where is it possible to see the letter left by Sister Feng in the room?"

Lin Fu thought to himself that it was a woman's nature to chew the tongue. Xiaoman was so old, he arranged him and Liu Yueer behind the scenes, and then he heard Su Mei jokingly at Xiaoman: "What's the matter, my heart is sore. ?"

"I'm here to help my sister, okay?" Xiaoman said in a slightly higher voice, "You said that Brother Lin is also true. He knew that our affairs were not to be seen, so he brought such a beautiful woman to the house. Men sometimes give It's unreliable to do things."

Lin Bie didn't know that the little girl was so angry, he tapped the window lattice with his finger a few times, and waited for Su Mei to open the window and turn over, but he didn't see Xiao Man in the room, so he asked Su Mei: "Xiao Man Woolen cloth?"

"The choreographer behind Xiao Nizi is heard again, how can I be so embarrassed to come out and meet people?" Su Mei said with a smile, "The maids in the house are going to be sent to another courtyard~www.wuxiax.com~ I want Lin Fu to talk and don't too careful.

"Who said I'm embarrassed to meet people, I just want to sleep." Xiaoman said in a muffled voice in the outhouse, "Besides, the two of you are talking, don't let me hold the candles by your side!"

"This dead girl, you have to send it to your house quickly, she will choke me." Su Mei laughed.

Lin Fu knew that Su Mei was worried about She Feihu's entry into Jiangning, so he told Su Mei everything that happened outside Donghua Gate today in detail. Su Mei held his cheeks in a fascination, and Lin finally asked in surprise: "So you say that? In a few days, Lu Feihu will thank you with a generous gift?"

"Of course, he just came to thank him, and I'm embarrassed to reject his sincerity." Lin Fie said with a smile.

Su Mei heard today that the second son who was sent by the Marquis of Jinan to Jiangning to serve as the envoy of Jin was assassinated outside Donghuamen. He specially asked the fourth lady to lead Xiaoman dressed as a young man in a car to recognize the person. She recognized the second son of the Marquis of Jinan, She Feihu. It was the young man named "Du Jin'an" whom Du Rong brought to listen to her singing in August this year. This confirmed that She Feihu was the mastermind behind the robbery in Baisha County. very worried.

Now listening to Lin Fie talking about all kinds of things that happened today, all the worries in my heart disappeared before I knew it. Looking at Lin Fie's tough face and long narrow eyes under the candlelight, I felt very at ease. Thinking that there is a forest bound, the big deal is that the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will come to cover the earth.
