Lord of the House

Vol 3 Chapter 10: night terrors

Lin Fu walked to the backyard, stretched out his hand to hold up the chin of an eyeliner, watched blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, stared into his eyes and asked, "I only offended Du Rong from Qingfengxing in Jiangning, are you sent by Qingfengxing? of?"

These two eyeliners were indeed sent by Du Rong to monitor Su Mei's apartment complex Baiyuan in Dustpan Alley. Seeing that someone moved in to live in the house behind Baiyuan today, they stopped by to take a look. There was no other meaning. If you know it, let Zhou Pu grab it from behind, struggling to break free. What they didn't expect was that this family happened to have a holiday with Qingfengxing and the big shopkeeper Du Rong. They couldn't explain it, so they dragged it to the backyard and got beaten up.

"Master, you have wronged the villain! There's really nothing malicious about the little one. I saw that the master asked Qian Xiaowu to go to the East Market to help buy some items, so I just wanted a few rewards, so I came over to see if there was anything else. You can do some free work, you have to be a little bit malicious, the sky is full of thunder and thunder, and the natural son has no ass/eyes..." When these two men were dragged in, their mouths were still hard, and they pressed Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu in the yard. After being beaten for a while, they became more honest. At this time, they were afraid that Lin Fu would break their legs and send them to the government. It was nothing to send them to the government. Poisonous oath to prove innocence, but I really don't know what the origin of this family is. The three evil servants are fierce as tigers and wolves no matter their age. They just want to get out quickly, even if they are sent to the government, it is better than being trapped here He pleaded with a mournful voice, "If there is nothing to help me, the young master will let the villain go. If I knew this earlier, I wouldn't even go to the door to look around if I killed him. I know it's wrong, I really don't know about Qingfeng. Okay, I don't even know what festival you have with Qingfenghang, sir..."

"Do you think I'm so fooled?" Lin Fu said coldly, "It's fine if you don't want to talk about it, I'll meet Du Rong someday," and instructed Zhou Pudao, "fight and throw it out, next time If you see these two sneaking around in the alley again, don't be merciful if you break your legs..." After speaking, he walked away.

Said to break the leg, but only words to intimidate the two.

Although he had torn his face with Du Rong and vowed to disagree, Lin Fu would not immediately escalate the struggle to a **** confrontation. As a well-known business in Jiangning City, Qingfenghang has the support of luxury families behind it. Du Rong's potential control in Jiangning will not be too weak. The last time I saw Du Rong's followers in Baisha County, they were all strong and strong. Jian, these people are usually scattered to guard Qingfenghang's caravans and fleets, and together they are an elite force that cannot be underestimated. To engage in a **** confrontation with Du Rong now is undoubtedly an egg hitting a stone, so it is necessary to skillfully control the intensity of the confrontation.

Zhou Pu threw the two eyeliners into the alley, and Lin Fu stood in front of the house and watched them limping away. It was already dark, and most of the people in the alley had lanterns hanging in front of their houses. Zhou Pu was measured, but the two eyeliners were not seriously injured, but when they were beaten, they couldn't help but wailed like a dog, and others could hear them.

At this moment, Liu Yue'er stuck her head out from behind the hanging flower door and asked, "Isn't it really discounting someone's feet?" She put her hand lightly on her bulging chest, and under the soft red light of the lantern, her face was full of expression. She had a healthy glow, her skin was as light as snow, with a slight blush, but she couldn't hide her worries. Even if she asked this sentence, her eyes were a little too afraid to look at Lin Bie, and her long eyelashes twitched under the light. of. She knew very little about Lin Fu, so she had no objection when Mr. Gu forced her into Lin Fu. First, she didn't want to offend Mr. Gu and stay at Gu's house, and she didn't want to be a concubine for the half-hundred old man Gu Wuchen. It might be safer to say that Lin Bie is a cowardly person. Right now, the rumors are very unreliable. At this time, instead of worrying about the two people breaking her legs, she was worried that Lin Fu was a cruel and ruthless person. To be a servant for someone, I was afraid of meeting such a master, and Liu Yue'er also knew that her face was the source of trouble.

"No, how can I say I'm also a scholar, why do I break people's legs? I was just trying to scare people..." Lin Bie laughed, and asked Zhao Hu to close the door of the house, and asked Liu Yue'er, "Is dinner ready? I'm starving."

"Scared me, why didn't you see that you were pretending?" Liu Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief, her heart fell back to her original place, she felt that Lin Tie's smile under the lantern was quite bright, and it didn't look like cruelty. The person who was there, said, "There are some cooked food, but I can eat them. I'll make another soup..." Turning around to leave, he suddenly remembered something, "The idle guy who asked me to buy things hasn't been there yet. return?"

Listening to the words of the two eyeliners, the young man was called Qian Xiaowu, Lin Bie pouted, and said, "Maybe it's too late to buy things," he laughed at Zhou Pu, Zhao Hu and the others, "This evil servant has a reputation It will take a few days to get out, so don’t be anxious.”

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

After dinner, Liu Yue'er packed the dishes back to the backyard, and the fourth lady came over.

Fourth Niangzi didn't go through the door of the house, but came directly from the ridge of the wall.

After dinner, Lin Bie told Zhou Pu and the others that they wanted to give the house an elegant name, just like there was a Wenbai in the garden of the residence in Sumei that had been growing for hundreds of years, so it was called Baiyuan, and almost everyone in Jiangning knew about it. , took the pen and ink, Lin Bie wrote the three characters "Jiyunju" on the light white rice paper, and handed it to Zhao Hu: "If you have time, find someone to make a gold-plated flat forehead and hang it on the door of the house - what do you want to do? , I have to have a name, Du Rong is the treasurer of Qingfeng Xing, we have to fight him, the momentum can't be weak..."

Listening to the strange noise in the yard, Zhou Pu and Zhao Hu went to open the door vigilantly, and saw the fourth lady wearing a flower jacket jumping off the ridge of the wall.

There is a house separated from Baiyuan here, and the fourth lady walked over from the ridge of the wall, as light as a cat.

"Miss Su Mei wants to see Young Master Lin, she is in the back garden, and all the idlers are sent away..."

"Okay, I'll walk with you over the ridge of the wall." Lin Fu also wanted to see Su Mei earlier. He missed it a little, and more about what he would do in the future and make plans as soon as possible.

"Can you do it?" Zhao Hu knew that Si Niangzi was doing a small job, so he couldn't walk lightly and silently on the wall himself, and there was a house separated from Baiyuan. It would be bad if Lin Bie was clumsy and disturbed this family.

Zhou Pu went out to inquire before it got dark. The house in front of him was the house left by Tongju from the former Hailing Mansion. The old Tongju had passed away, and the eldest son had no great prospects. . The house is much larger than this, and the interior is dilapidated. The couple brought a son. In addition to the old man who guarded the door, there was also a middle-aged couple as servants. They looked a little embarrassed and had a lantern hanging under the corridor. , The sky is a little overcast, and there is no light shining on the wall.

Lin Fu knew that it would take some time for his fighting and melee combat to return to the original level. After all, excellent physical fitness could not be achieved overnight, and silently walked over the ridge of the wall. For the current Lin Fu, there is no such thing as How difficult it was, he lifted up his robe and tied it around his waist, stepped on the flower bed, put his hands on the ridge of the wall, turned over and squatted on the ridge of the wall. Bar……"

Si Niangzi was a little surprised, didn't say anything, followed up the ridge of the wall and walked towards Baiyuan.

Su Mei and Xiaoman were in the garden listening to the sound of a cat stepping on the wall. They picked a lantern and walked over, whispering, "Mr. Lin?"

"It's me." Lin Bie jumped down from the top of the wall, Su Mei had already walked to the base of the wall, Xiaoman followed behind with a lantern, not to be wary of the two being so close, what entered Lin Bie's eyes was the kind of fire that shone brightly The crystal clear and beautiful face, such as the eyes inlaid with stars, exudes a deep and blurred look, and I feel that this face is indescribably glamorous.

As soon as he saw Su Mei, Lin Fu was slightly stunned, as if he was suddenly charmed, and forgot to say anything; Su Mei also looked forward to Lin Fu day and night, watching him jump off the wall, watching him so fascinated Looking at himself, his heart swayed, he didn't watch out for the two of them being so close, and the breath he gave him fell on his forehead, feeling a little confused.

"Pfft... I'm stunned again!" Xiaoman stood behind Su Mei with a lantern and saw the expression on Lin Bie's face for real, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Oh," Lin Fu woke up and asked Su Mei seriously, "How are these days?"

"Yeah." Su Mei only felt her face get hot and replied in a low voice.

"You discuss things, I'll go to the door of the moon to watch..." Si Niangzi went down the wall and said, she took the lantern from Xiaoman's hand and let Lin Fu and Su Mei whisper in the dark, even if someone accidentally bumped into it. Garden will not find them.

Lin Bie got used to the dark light. Seeing Su Mei wearing a Dai Ru embroidered skirt and a pale yellow waist, Pingting looked over, went to the pavilion with her and sat down, and detailed what happened during the time he returned to Shiliang County. Tell it to Su Mae.

"What are your plans?" Su Mei asked.

"To help Changshan Island, we must have cover in Jiangning; to fight against Du Rong, our strength is still very weak, and we need to accumulate strength," Lin Fu thought for a while, but still did not ask what happened ten years ago, she and Qin Chengzu were they? What is the relationship, he stated his initial plan, "I plan to build a business in Jiangning first, and to build a business, I will gather people in the name, and wait for the crows and the others to wash their identities in Shiliang County after a while. Merchant ships trade on the waterway from Chongzhou to Jiangning. As long as you have this, it will be convenient for any goods or people to travel from Chongzhou to Changshan Island... I have already thought about the name of the company, 'Jiyun Club', what do you think? ?"

"Well, there are no flattering words, and it is not tacky. I like it too," Su Mei said. "You also said that you want to be born in Jiangning, what are your plans?"

"Looking for an official and a half-job is just a cover. After Gu Wuchen entered the city, I went to ask him shamelessly to see if there were any idle jobs in the police department." Lin Fu said.

"Alas," Su Mei sighed slightly, "Su Mei feels uneasy about delaying your past..."

"Miss Su, you don't have to say that," Lin Fu said. "Everyone says 'read the book of sages and sages and sell it to the emperor's family'. In my opinion, it's good to be able to get a half-official position. Isn't that what smart people do?"

"Why?" Su Mei asked in confusion.

"Brother Lin, Miss said that you are full of talents, and you can only use your career to benefit the people..." Xiaoman, who had been sitting quietly by the side, interjected softly.

Although Su Mei felt that Xiaoman was a little embarrassed to say what she said in private, she did not deny it out loud.

"The so-called poor are only good at their own bodies, and the rich can help the world - I am a down-and-out scholar, and at this time I have no ambition to benefit the people," Lin Fu said, "I was born as a lonely leaf, and now I only think about the world between heaven and earth. Find some support, I won't stand idly by about your affairs with Xiaoman."

"Ah!" Su Mei only thought that Lin Fu's words were expressing affection, and her heart swayed when she heard it. She wanted to say no, but she was afraid of hurting his heart. Besides, she heard that Lin Fu regarded her and Xiaoman as human beings. There was an indescribable feeling in my heart that I was looking for the support, I was stunned there, not knowing what to say, my face was a little hot, and my ears were red when I thought about it. see.

Xiaoman said tenderly, "How could you say such a thing in front of me? It's really embarrassing? The lady is your support, and Xiaoman is just an insignificant maid."

"Uh," Lin Fu realized that Su Mei and Xiaoman had misunderstood. He was really moved by what he said. He came from the soul through time and space after a thousand years. Only Su Mei, Xiaoman, and perhaps the Seventh Lady gave him a real feeling of living in this time and space. For him at this time, this sense of reality was more important than anything else. Few people hoped that they would be trapped in a dream. . Lin Fu didn't explain what he just said. The more he explained, the more confused he became. He said: "I have thought about whether to enter the officialdom or not. The Dayue Dynasty has been established for thirteen generations and more than two hundred years, and I don't know what other people think. How, in my eyes, Dayue's vigor has accumulated in the morning and evening, and it is hard to return. It is like a leaked skin, which is difficult to repair. Even in this official career, it is also exhausted and has deep disadvantages, not to mention the use of talents to benefit the people. , Save the people from fire and water, I'm afraid, no one will be able to extricate themselves if they sink deep..."

"..." Su Mei stared at Lin Fu's somewhat blurred profile through the weak night light, and wanted to get closer to the past to see more clearly, but gave up and said after a while, "I have also saved some money in private for the past two years, In addition to Xiaoman's redemption silver, there are still three thousand taels of silver left, you can take it all..."

"This is inappropriate..."

"Don't be too busy to refuse... I want to quit my membership, and the three thousand taels of silver are not enough. I went back to Jiangning to inquire, and the three thousand taels of silver are only enough to buy two five-masted sand boats. If you want to set up a Jiyun Club, these two I will send the boat to Jiyun Club and entrust you to manage it,” Su Mei said, “Besides, it is not a long-term solution for Xiaoman to stay by my side. I redeemed her body in the past two days, and you help me take care of her... …”

"Don't leave Miss Xiaoman." Xiaoman said.

"Silly girl, how far can you be separated even if you're not by my side?" Su Mei laughed.

Su Mei is an assertive woman, so Lin Fu doesn't say anything more. Su Mei is a happy member. Although he is a cheap member, all the craftsmen and craftsmen are a cheap member, and the social discrimination they receive is not as serious as imagined. For example, Zhao Hu's mother can be more relaxed in order to make a living, and even took the initiative to ask Zhao Hu to become a cheap member. She is a servant to Lin Fu, but Xiaoman is a prostitute with the lowest social status, so it is better to leave her family early. If she grows up and stays in the prostitute's door, she can't even tell her innocence.

Deeper leaked, saying that Lin Fu was going to turn back from the ridge of the wall, Su Mei sent him to the base of the wall, raised the lantern for him to shine on the top of the wall, Lin Fu smiled and said, "I will be careful, if there is light, I will Let people see."

"Oh," Su Mei took back the lantern and blew it out, only to see Lin Bie squatting on the wall with his body bent like a cat, leaning on the wall with his limbs and quickly disappearing into the night, looking at the empty space, he felt a little reluctant to part. .

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

Sneaking back to the yard from the ridge of the wall, when Lin Fu was about to go down the wall, he saw Liu Yueer leaning into the window of his room in the corridor of the main courtyard, looking in. Lin Fu became suspicious, slipped down the wall quietly, and dived to the Behind Liu Yue'er, she asked in a voice, "What do you have to do with me?"

"Ah!" Liu Yue'er would have thought that someone suddenly appeared behind her and screamed in fright. The person subconsciously ducked to the side and turned her head to see Lin Bie, but her feet were on the edge of the steps, and her feet were crooked. All of a sudden, the body lost its center of gravity and was about to fall to the brick floor in the yard. Lin Bie hurriedly grabbed her hand and held her by the waist, but Liu Yueer was too frightened, grabbing Lin Bie's hands like a life-saving straw against her chest, and said in panic, "Frightened to death. Where have you been hiding?" He gasped for a moment, and instantly realized that it was Lin Bie's hand that was grabbed and pressed against his chest, his face froze, and another scream, hurriedly threw Lin Bie's hand away. She turned around and was about to escape in the backyard. Just two steps away, there was a sharp pain like a broken ankle. She couldn't stand and was about to fall. Lin Bie saw her as if she had stabbed her foot and supported her.

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Miss Liu, what happened? What happened to Miss Liu?"

Liu Yue'er struggled to support the porch column, her face flushed red, and her eyes didn't dare to look at Lin Bie, she said, "This afternoon, the idle guy bought some good things and sent them to him. People can't open the door and let them in, so I called Young Master Lin for a long time and heard your reply... Go open the door and let people bring things in."

"Uh, sit down for a while, don't move your feet..." Lin Bie knew that he had misunderstood Liu Yueer, but he didn't know how to explain it, so he glanced at Liu Yueer's bulging chest unconsciously, The cold clothes can still feel upright and full inside, and when you hand over her waist, you can also feel that it is full of strength and elasticity.

Liu Yue'er lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Lin Bie. She seemed to be able to feel his eyes on her chest. She subconsciously raised her hand to block it. She thought that this advantage was taken for no reason, and she was ashamed and anxious. The young man who was busy outside knocked on the door in a hurry, and said in a hurry, "Go open the door quickly, or else others will think something happened?"

Lin Fu walked to the front yard and opened the door of the house, only to see a young woman who asked to help out in the afternoon and stood at the door with a young woman's support. The young man's face was bruised, the corners of his eyes were cracked, and blood was leaking out. The young woman was thin and thin. Weak, his face turned yellow, Lin Fu remembered that the young man said in the afternoon that he would bring someone to run errands together, and he didn't see anyone else, so he asked him, "What's wrong with your face?"

The young woman was about to say something, but the young man pulled the corner of the woman's clothes and prevented her from speaking.

"It's alright," the young man looked inside and asked Lin Bie suspiciously, "I heard someone screaming inside just now, did something happen in the son's house?"

"Miss Liu just sprained her foot," Lin Fu asked them to help move everything into the living room in the front yard, "Where's the list, I'll pay you the money."

"I've made you wait for a long time..." The young man said in a submissive manner, "I lost the list halfway, but luckily my little mind can still remember it. Look, Master, is there anything else missing? If there is still something missing, I will arrange it for you immediately, if there is no shortage of things, I will report the account to you."

They were all bits and pieces, and Lin Bie couldn't remember, so the young man sat down to report the bill. The young man's memory is really good. After dozens of things were reported, Lin Fu took the remaining silver coins and counted forty copper coins for him: "Your leg strength money."

"No, no, only 20 bucks," the young man returned the 20 bucks in panic, "I wanted to bring someone to run errands with me, but no one was found. I was the only one who ran down and could only receive 20 bucks... "

Lin Fu saw the woman who came to help the youth with red, swollen and tearful eyes, looked at the copper coins on the table again, and asked, "What happened?"

"Just tell this gentleman~www.wuxiaspot.com~ you can't be bullied all day long!" The woman covered her face and cried.

"You can help me do things today, and it's also fate. If you have any difficulties, come and listen. If you can help me, I won't be watching." Lin Fu said

The young man blamed the woman for being talkative, pulling the woman away and refusing to say more, but the woman was stubborn and cried and told Lin Fie the cause and effect.

The young man's family was poor, his wife was sick in bed, he owed other people's debts, and he couldn't make a living, so he learned from others to help idlers. In the afternoon, he took a piece of silver from Lin Fu and went to find someone to go to Dongshi to collect things. He didn't expect to meet a creditor in Dongshi. The creditor was a rogue nearby and robbed the silver. Crying: "...My little five borrowed him 800 dollars to buy medicine for my illness, and he just said that the silver was just right for the principal and interest. My little five thought that the money belonged to the son, don't say that he would rob him. In the past, I couldn’t even deduct 800 dollars. I had to **** the money back, and let them be beaten like this on the street because of the crowd. When I got home, it was so painful, I was even more worried about how to talk to the young master. Speaking of this, my little five is someone who will never be greedy for other people's money. This is more uncomfortable than killing him. He is a hopeless guy who wants to jump into a well, but he doesn't know why. He even returned the money—the rogue came over and returned the money, and he was not allowed to tell the young master what happened in the afternoon. My little five was thinking about the matter that the young master wanted him to buy things, and asked me to help him go to the East Market. Everything is arranged and sent to the young master..."
