Chapter 166 Processing
Sweet Water Lane.
The famous dusty fireworks in the capital.
If no one pointed out that this is Tianshui Lane, it would probably be just an ordinary wide alley in the eyes of newcomers from other places.
There are locust trees planted on the street, with pear trees and hawthorn trees among them. Sometimes it is quiet outside. You can hear the sound of musical instruments and loud calligraphy from the alley. Perhaps the most fragrant thing is the sweet well deep in the alley. Many women gather there. What they do most often is to sing poems written by a talented man and comment on which one of the lyrics is well written.
Here are the genius and talented servants, and there are also those who serve with sex. They need to identify their identities based on the lanterns and colorful flags on the eaves of the porch in front of the door.
Early this morning, Qingning in Tianshui Lane was broken by the sound of neat footsteps. The imperial guards suddenly came to search Tianshui Lane. Shouts or men's screams came from every attic in the alley. Not long after, several imperial guards were wearing disheveled clothes, and when they saw the imperial guards, they looked like a man who had lost his parents.
Yu Hou: "Report! You have searched and you have caught five."
The Imperial Commander: "Who are there? Take it to see."
Several people who were detained were sent to the Imperial Commander. He glanced at the person he didn't want to find, "Okay, are there any other discoveries?"
The Marquis of Yu hesitated and came to the imperial guards' ear to whisper, saying that he found the second son of the founding marquis in the courtyard of a private residence of a Qinggong. He did not stop them from searching people, and the private residence was not found.
The Imperial Commander raised his eyebrows: "Stop the team!"
The imperial guards withdrew from Tianshui Lane, and the women in the attic poked their heads one after another, all covered their faces with round fans, "Oh, that brother Guan looks good when he becomes fierce!"
"Why did you come here so early to disturb me?"
"I don't know how to mess with you. It seems that someone came out in violation of discipline, right?"
The girls chirped, and you looked at me and said something like orioles on the branches.
In the private courtyard where Yu Hou judged that there was no problem, the "second young master" Pei Shuo finished drinking tea and walked to the corner of the courtyard wall and bent over to the bottom of the large water tank and knocked five times. The first three times were rushing, and the second two times knocked down the water tank and then fell down the second time. This was the signal he agreed with the people inside: "Come out, they are leaving."
The water surface of the large water tank swayed, and the water surface suddenly rose, and the people inside stood up with the urn. It turned out that the water tank had another mystery. The edge of it was half a child's height inside, and the pottery jar was closely intertwined with the water tank.
The water tank is fixed on the ground, and the lower half is hollowed out to the ground, and a small cellar is dug, which is enough to hide people.
Yu Hou was not experienced enough. When he saw the reflection on the water surface, he only saw the hand and stirred the water. He left without notice of any abnormality.
"Thank you, Mr. Pei, for helping me."
Pei Shuo said: "Where is my friend who bought a property in Dongchengxiang. Please take care of Yu Hou. Don't go to the street to collect rent on the left one day, and get troubled around the street. He bought a shop on the other end of the night market in Dongchengxiang. The picture shows that there are many customers coming and going, and the streets are causing trouble every day. Not only is it bad, it will affect business."
"It's easy to say."
Saying the Yuhou of Dongcheng Xiang who escaped punishment, Pei Shuo picked up the pastries and looked around. Alas, I missed the five-color cake and Sixi Shao Mai made by A Yao.
The Qing Gong walked out slowly, "Young Master Xingzhi."
"Qing Niang, I have to go back. Thanks to you today." The moment Pei Shuo turned around, Taohua's eyes were extremely affectionate. He was just smiling at her, but Qing Niang, who claimed to have seen countless wandering sons, was so excited that his heart beat faster when he drowned in his eyes.
He looks very similar to Pei Xingzhi. As he grows older, his temperament is completely different. Usually, no one will admit his mistakes when the two brothers stand together. When Pei Shuo deliberately imitates Pei Xingzhi's actions, most people cannot see any flaws.
"It is Qingniang's honor to be able to help Young Master Xingzhi."
Qingniang was not standing firmly, and her body tilted softly to the side. Pei Shuo held her arm and quickly let go. Xu helped her to the original seat where he sat: "The spring is cold, Qingniang should not catch a cold. Please forget what you see today, don't talk to others, and think I have never been here."
The peach blossoms rolled up in the courtyard, which was like the feelings in Qingniang's heart. They easily floated with the wind and fell regretfully, so beautiful that they were lost in a blink of an eye.
"Pei Xingzhi" in white clothes left Tianshui Lane, and after walking around a few streets and alleys, Pei Shuo, who was wearing green clothes and straight skirts, quietly returned to the Hou Mansion from the small gate and asked his honeysuke who answered him: "Is my father back? Where is Pei Xingzhi?"
"The master hasn't come back yet, so is the second young master."
"That's good." Pei Shuo yawned, sneaked out in the middle of the night, disguised as Pei Xingzhi and squatted until dawn to do a scene, and was so sleepy. "You think of a way to hand over to the commander of the imperial guards, saying that the Yu Hou, who was in charge of the Dongchengxiang, was indeed staying in Tianshui Lane yesterday. The cellar agency could hide people and escape the disaster. Don't reveal your identity when handing over the phone. I'll go to sleep for a while, and come back to wake me up."
When Pei Shuo slept, he dreamed that A Yao would surround him and slept until midnight, missing the opportunity of a hero saving the beauty.
...
A Yao didn't know that Pei Shuo took action to pull down the Yu Hou from Dongchengxiang.
She pinched the snake and returned to Sun Niang's foot shop and told the boss's situation: "There are days when business has to be closed internally. Only by eliminating the disasters of snakes, insects, rats and ants can we continue to open the store. Bao Youcai's scum said in public. We don't deal with it, and the customers dare not and have no courage to come again."
The boss's wife looked frowning: "It's all my fault. If I don't go out on the third day of the third month, I will not bring disaster."
"Boss, I don't agree with your words." Song Fang said: "It is not easy for you to live with two children. There is a shop that can make you live. Now others covet the foundation of your life and use all kinds of dirty means to try to seize your foundation. You should not blame yourself. The focus is on dealing with people who covet your property."
"Yes." Li Gang and Li Rou also nodded. "Sister Yaozhu was so amazing just now!"
"The amazing person is not me, it's Brother Mo. I'm actually taking advantage of his power." A Yao smiled, "Brother Mo is full of chivalrousness. Fortunately, he is willing to help this time. If the matter is resolved, those who Bao Zhaocai should not come again."
The boss's wife also had a smile on her face: "I want to thank him well...but the kitchen is no longer usable now."
"We can build a small stove outside, just like a night market, build a shed, place two or three tables and chairs, and it can open the business." A Yao said.
The boss lady: "The food, cooking and even the cleaning of the bowls and chopsticks is clear at a glance. The three of you need to pay more attention to Li Gang, Li Rou and Yaozhu."
"It should."
"We will work hard!"
A Yao wrote a notice on the spot, posting it on the pillar outside the Sun Niang Foot Shop, stating that because Sun Niang Foot Shop was disturbed by evil people, snakes, insects, rats and ants were placed. The internal renovation will begin from now on until the snakes and rats are removed and safely reopened. During this period, Sun Niang Foot Shop will be moved outside the store to continue to operate. There are many inconveniences, so please forgive me for your neighbors.
Song Fang built a stove, Li Gang and Li Rou went to buy new bowls and chopsticks, the boss continued to take care of the two children, and explained the meaning of the notice to the people nearby. A Yao went home to lead her big dog and big white goose to wait.
