Qiu Ergou led four other servants from the Qiu Mansion to follow Yin Ruonan and his party. In order to prevent being discovered, another person followed them every three to five miles. When they saw Yin Ruonan and the others returned to Hu Ercai's yard in Wujia Village, they were in

After asking around, they determined that several people lived here, so they left one person nearby to watch. Qiu Ergou took the remaining people and ran back to Qiu Mansion in Songshan City.

In the east courtyard of Qiu Mansion, Qiu Fenglin was leaning on the couch outside his bedroom thinking about something. A beautiful maid was carefully beating his legs. Another beautiful maid was holding a celadon bowl with red dates and white fungus soup.

Feed him spoonful by spoonful.

At this time, Qiu Ergou hurriedly ran in from outside and came to Qiu Fenglin. He half bowed and said respectfully: "Young Master, I have already investigated clearly. The old guy named Si and the boy Yin live here."

It’s in the Hu Family Courtyard in Wujia Village, twenty miles east of the city! There are eight people in the courtyard, four of them, plus two maids and two servants.”

Qiu Fenglin lazily hummed, raised his head and looked at Qiu Ergou's crooked mouth, and waved his hand, signaling the maid to take the red date and white fungus soup away. Immediately, another beautiful maid came to Qiu Fenglin holding a jade cigarette pouch.

Next to him, he carefully lit the tobacco leaves in the tobacco bag with a fire stick, and stuffed the jade tip of the tobacco bag into Qiu Fenglin's mouth. Qiu Fenglin took a deep breath and puffed out the smoke intoxicatedly.

Soon, the whole room was filled with smoke. Qiu Fenglin liked this kind of tobacco from Nanyang the most, and it was very refreshing to smoke. Qiu Ergou always half-bent, with a submissive expression on his face. After a while, Qiu Fenglin finally passed.

After getting addicted to cigarettes, he yawned, raised his thick eyebrows, and said with a faint smile: "Damn it, that boy named Yin didn't raise two women? He really doesn't know how to enjoy it!"

Qiu Ergou had a flattering smile on his face, "That pretty boy, how can he deserve to be compared with the eldest young master? First young master, you are the person who knows how to enjoy life best that I have ever seen!"

Qiu Fenglin smiled obscenely and touched the little face of the maid holding a pipe, "How knowledgeable can you be? Of course I know how to enjoy life and women! Damn it, that surnamed Yin

Since you are a relative of the emperor, why do you have the nerve to accept some local goods to make money? Earning that little money is enough to do anything? Ah? He doesn't want to be a drunkard in the bar?" Qiu Fenglin opened his eyes and sat up straight on the couch.

After getting out of bed, I seemed to have discovered a new world.

"Brother, what did you find? Why were you so surprised?" The person who spoke was Qiu Fenglu, the second son of the enemy family, who walked in from the door. Qiu Fenglu walked in from the outside carrying an exquisite birdcage with embroidered eyes.

There was a black myna squatting in the cage. The myna was shouting in the cage, "Second son, get rich!"

Qiu Fenglu lifted the embroidered eye cage high and said proudly: "Brother, what do you think of this bird cage? This thing was originally obtained from the palace building office, and it is priceless in the market!

I got this from the house of Marquis Wu Quan, Yin Zhiyan, this boy, is so damn evil, he insisted on using those two beautiful concubines in exchange!"

Qiu Fenglin sneered, "Boy, you just make some useless things, flowers, birds, crickets, what's the use of these things? Gold, silver, horses, warriors and beauties are real. Besides, what kind of bird cage are you carrying two?

Jin Si'er is worth two beautiful concubines? What a waste of money!"

Qiu Fenglu made a sound and said disapprovingly: "Brother, you are so hard to think about. You have a lot of gold and silver, so you must have something to have fun with, right? Gold and silver can't be eaten directly. No matter how beautiful the concubine is, I'm tired of looking at it every day.

Besides, if a woman uses too much her kidneys, her kidneys will become weak, right? She has to find some fun for herself! If you get a mountain of gold and guard it every day, but you are reluctant to eat it and drink it, then you are just a miser!"

Qiu Fenglin smiled and said, "Second brother, you are used to living and drinking, but you just don't understand the importance of gold and silver! My family has raised people who know martial arts, and they don't want gold, silver, or beauties? With such a big family fortune, why don't you need money?

Appropriate lending, investing a lot of energy in making money, only when you have money can you make more money! Right? It's like you exchanged two beautiful concubines for a broken bird cage, don't those two beautiful concubines cost money?

Bought?"

Qiu Fenglu put the bird cage on the coffee table and teased the myna in the cage, "Call the second master! If you don't call the second master, I won't give you food today!" He turned around and asked Qiu Fenglin, "You are right, brother, but do you want to,

Isn’t it that you earn so much money just to spend it? You don’t live in debauchery, you don’t have sex, you are so sorry that we were born into the enemy’s family! By the way, Ergou, have you found out where the boy named Yin lives? "

Qiu Ergou bowed aside and said: "Going back to the Second Young Master, the old guy named Si and the boy Yin live in the Hu family compound in Wujia Village, twenty miles east of the city. There are also two maids and two servants in the courtyard.

.”

Qiu Fenglu nodded and said: "Well, good. The next step is to find out the origins of these guys. Since they are outsiders, they should know that strong dragons cannot suppress local snakes. How can they be so bold and dare to disrespect our enemies in public!"

Qiu Fenglin smiled and said: "Second brother, I have to praise you once. You finally know

Use your brain to think about the problem! This group of people is definitely suspicious. I heard Ergou said that there were no women bought from outside in the courtyard, only two maids. You think, the followers around him are more powerful than our Shi Rengui

, that means his family’s financial situation is definitely not inferior to ours. If our brothers are doing business outside, how can we not have women around us?"

Qiu Fenglu suddenly smiled wretchedly, "It doesn't mean anything if you don't have a woman. Look at that boy's thin skin and tender flesh as pretty as a girl. Maybe he likes Mr. Rabbit! By the way, brother, aren't you the best?

"Kou'er? Then do you want to get this boy Yin? Hahahaha..." Qiu Ergou couldn't hold back his laughter at the side. Qiu Fenglin glanced at him. Qiu Ergou was so frightened that he quickly suppressed his laughter.

.

Qiu Fenglin shook his head and said: "Second brother, this damn thing is second to none. Where can I not have a young husband with tender skin and tender flesh? What my brother is worried about now is that this man named Yin will be detrimental to our family! On the way back, I kept thinking

To put it bluntly, Shi Rengui was evasive and refused to tell the origin of the old man named Si. He only said that the one he kept must be a relative of the emperor! I don’t understand, this imperial relative has nothing to do to cause trouble for my enemy.

do what?"

Qiu Fenglu laughed and said disapprovingly: "I'm too lazy to use my brain. Go tell grandpa and let grandpa handle this matter! When it comes to messy things like officialdom, we brothers will make mistakes as soon as we do it, and then we will have to ask my father again.

I'm not guilty of beating my grandpa and scolding him! Otherwise, I would have followed my father to the office, but he would have taken care of me when I went there. I might as well be at home fighting cocks and chasing dogs, drinking flower wine and being at ease!"

Qiu Fenglin lay down again, leaning on the couch, and said to himself: "This matter is not that simple! Brother, after all, he is also a relative of the emperor, and he can even afford to support such a high-level master, and collect some mountain goods.

What kind of business is this? How much money can we earn? I feel like there is some conspiracy here. Maybe this kid is here to plot against our family. We can’t suffer this loss! We must find out their origins!"

Qiu Fenglu sat down on the chair and teased the myna in the cage, "Call the second master. If you don't call the second master, I won't give you food at night!" Then he raised his head again and said nonchalantly: "Boss, how are we going to investigate this matter?

It's your business and your men's business. I don't want to take care of it. Of course, I can't take care of it if you ask me to. If I take action, I will only mess things up! Grandpa, uncle, dad, and you, who of you?

Don’t trust me! Alas, if you don’t ask, it will be in vain. I am just teasing crickets!”

As he spoke, Qiu Fenglu stood up, picked up the birdcage and said goodbye to Qiu Fenglin, and staggered out. In the room, Qiu Fenglin suddenly laughed inexplicably and snorted, "A loser like this wants to be with me."

Fighting for family property? Haha..." Qiu Ergou stood aside and said nothing, as if he didn't hear anything.

Qiu Fenglu carried the bird cage out of his eldest brother Qiu Fenglin's yard and wandered to the back garden. Along the way, he saw beautiful maids. Even if they were slightly attractive, he would go up and pinch her cheeks, squeeze her hands, and murmur.

He muttered: "Oh, with such a pretty face, it would be a pity if you don't let me touch it!" Or when he sees which breast is bigger, he will burst into tears, "Oh, sister, are you so worried about such a big breast?"

Don't you want me to rub it for you?"

He provoked all the maids and servants in the house to look at him with disgust, but Qiu Fenglu didn't care at all, his playful smile was not at all formal. Qiu Fenglu carried the bird cage, walked through several corridors, and passed two moon gates.

Along the path with the fragrance of flowers and birds singing, we came to the beautiful artificial lake in the back garden, where a servant was adjusting a fishing rod. Qiu Fenglu came to the servant and asked loudly: "Qiu Fu, you are still so clumsy, let the two

Come here!"

As he spoke, he took the fishing rod from Qiu Fu and suddenly said in a low voice: "Let Qiu An go to the Dongwei Branch to inquire about the news later, and find out for me the man named Yin who lives in the Hu Family Courtyard in Wujia Village.

What is the origin of this boy and why he is here! Remember, even if Qiu An finds out the clues, he must keep it secret. When we compete with the boss, we are at a disadvantage and have to use extraordinary means! We must hide our capabilities and bide our time!"

Qiu Fu agreed, turned around and left the lake, and walked out of the yard. Qiu Fenglu muttered to himself: "Trash, you can't even make a fishing line and bait. I have to do it myself! I really don't know how to support you guys."

What's the use of useless snacks! You can't even handle such a trivial matter. It's all grandpa who got used to you one by one!" As he spoke, he threw the fishhook down into the artificial lake and said to himself: "Do things like this

When fishing, you have to endure it so that big fish can take the bait!"

There was a figure behind the rockery in the distance, and he didn't know where he was going. Qiu Fenglu, who had already seen all this, raised the corners of his mouth.

Yin Ruonan and others collected the mountain goods and returned to the Hu family compound. Sun Zongcheng and Sikong Jing quietly went out for a walk, still investigating the affairs of their enemies.

When there was nothing else to do during the day, Yin Ruonan continued to practice martial arts as usual. All the settling of accounts was left to Sun Zongcheng and Sikong Jing. On the morning of the third day, after breakfast, Yin Ruonan could no longer sit still and ran to

In the courtyard, he came under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and looked at Sikong Jing who was boxing. He insisted on going to Nianzhuang to have a look.

Look at Miao Yuting's injury.

Sikong Jing glanced at Yin Ruonan seemingly unintentionally, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's really rare. Your Highness the Princess has finally grown up!"

Yin Ruonan looked at Sikong Jing with threatening eyes and asked word for word: "Old man Sikong, what did you say just now?"

Sikong Jing raised his head and looked at the sky above the courtyard, and said haha, "Did I just say something? Why don't I remember!" Sikong Jing's funny look made Sun Zongcheng and Li Lanqiu on the side laugh, and Yin Ruonan hated it.

He looked at Sikong Jing with hatred and clenched his fists.

The four of them mounted their horses, handed over household matters to the maids and servants, carried two old hens and some fruit cakes, went up the official road, and went straight to Nianzhuang in front of Zhangjiaji.

The Nianzhuang is not a big one, with more than a hundred households, surrounded by fields. The crops have been harvested in late autumn, and the fields are empty except for some straw stacks. Four people rode into the village on tall horses, and many villagers were looking around in their yards.

, the eyes are full of fear, the villagers have a natural fear of people riding tall horses.

There was an open space in the middle of the village, and there were several children playing. They were frightened when they saw several people coming on horseback, and they quickly dispersed. There was only a little fat man about ten years old who was not timid and acted as if there was no one else around.

Playing with his wooden knife in the open space. Yin Ruonan jumped off the horse, came to the little fat man with a smile, and asked: "This little brother, your sword skills are really good! Where does Mr. Miao Yuting, the teacher, live?"

When the little fat man who was playing swordsman heard Yin Ruonan praising him for his swordsmanship, his smiling eyes narrowed and he praised himself: "This big brother has a good vision! My swordsmanship was passed down by a famous master! Oh, poor people in our village.

These people, they don’t know anything!”

Li Lanqiu suppressed a smile and said, "Little brother, please take us to find Mr. Miao first. Later, I will compete with you on sword skills. What do you think?"

The fat kid who was playing with the knife stared, "You know how to use a knife? Wow, such a handsome brother can actually do martial arts. I didn't know it! It's like what Mr. Miao said, you can't tell a person's appearance! Then you follow me.

Come on, Mr. Miao lives in the east of the village. He said he was injured in the past two days and has not come to teach us lessons. We have all been playing in the village! What are you looking for Mr. Miao?"

When Yin Ruonan heard what the little fat man said, he nodded and joked: "So you are still Mr. Miao's disciple! So, you are practicing both literature and martial arts, and you are a talented person with both civil and military skills? It's rare, so lucky to meet you! We are lucky to meet you.

He is a friend of Mr. Miao. He knew he was injured and came here to see him."

The little fat man put the wooden knife on his waist and was about to lead the way. Sun Zongcheng jumped off the horse with a smile, lifted the little fat man and put him on the horse, "Little brother, come with us!"

The little fat man proudly said to Yin Ruonan: "I dare not say about talent, but the purpose of practicing essays is to recognize names. Practicing martial arts can strengthen your body. In the future, you can also be a hero, make a name for yourself, and protect your family and country! Here,

If you walk forward from here, you will soon arrive at Mr. Miao's home."

Sun Zongcheng smiled and said: "Okay, you are very ambitious, just like I was when I was a child!" The little fat man looked back at Sun Zongcheng and asked curiously: "Uncle, do you also know martial arts?"

Sun Zongcheng smiled horrifiedly, "As for me, my three-legged cat kung fu is not worth mentioning. I can't beat the masters, but I'm only slightly better than the low-hands. If you can't achieve high or low, don't learn from me!"

The little fat man laughed and said: "No, no, I won't be like you. I won't be as good as you are. I learned my sword skills from Uncle Yu in the village. Uncle Yu used to hold a halberd in the army.

Now that I am older, I went home to kill pigs and become a butcher. I heard from Uncle Yu that he participated in the war against Daxia twenty years ago, beheaded four people, made military exploits, and drank wine from the late emperor.

The royal wine is very majestic!"

When Sun Zongcheng heard what the little fat man said, his face was horrified. When the little fat man saw Sun Zongcheng's expression, he thought he was shocked. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said proudly: "I, Uncle Yu, can go into battle to kill the enemy. He is a fierce man!"

After finishing speaking, looking at Sun Zongcheng's expression, he couldn't bear it anymore and comforted him: "It's okay, you practice martial arts well, maybe one day you can be as majestic as him!"

Sun Zongcheng touched the little fat man's head and said nothing. The little fat man pointed to a three-room blue brick house surrounded by a bamboo fence on the side of the road. "Here, this is Mr. Miao's home!" Sun Zongcheng got off his horse and put the little boy in his arms.

The fat man also took over. The little fat man ran over, patted the wooden door, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Miao, Mr. Miao, your friend is here to see you!"

Yin Ruonan got off his horse, stood outside the courtyard and looked into the courtyard. He saw several pots of chrysanthemums planted in the courtyard, which were in full bloom. They were white, yellow and red, very bright and lovely. Yin Ruonan smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect this seedling.

I still love flowers!"
