Arriving in front of the Hua family mansion, I saw three or two gang members standing scattered beside the door and on the top of the courtyard wall. As expected, the number of guards was much smaller than usual. Yan Zhenbei stepped forward and asked the concierge to

The boy went in to report, and not long after, a group of helpers came out, introduced him to the door, and invited him into the living room.

Receiving Yan Zhenbei in the living room was Zhenniang, the housekeeper of the Hua family mansion.

"Oh, what's the wind that brings Mr. Yan here? He's such a rare visitor! Sit down quickly and let me make a pot of tea for Mr. Yan!" Zhenniang smiled and moved Yan Zhenbei to the chair.

Sit down in front.

Yan Zhenmen also had a smile on his face, clasped his fists and said, "Madam, you are too polite, but Yan Zhenbei doesn't dare to take it seriously. I haven't seen Hongzhu's niece for a few days, so it's a bit presumptuous for me to come to visit her now!"

Although the purpose of Yan Zhenbei's trip is to promote business for the "Five Tigers Escort Bureau", he still has to find a suitable excuse so as not to appear obtrusive. It has been nearly half a year since Hai Hongzhu married into the Hua family mansion. After the death of Mr. Hai, Yan Zhenbei

Uncle Zhenbei has become her only natal elder, and can be regarded as half of the Hua family's in-laws. It is very appropriate to use visiting her niece as an excuse.

After hearing this, Zhenniang nodded her head and said: "The chief escort should come often, there is nothing presumptuous! The young mistress's natal family is small, and when she married into our Hua family, there were not many relatives to come to visit, and the young master always came

I don't stay with her at home. She stays alone in the backyard all day. I feel so pitiful! A few days ago, she always asked me when Mr. Yan, the escort chief, would come. Now that Mr. Yan is here, he just goes to see her.

!”

Yan Zhenbei said with a smile: "She is a country girl. I'm afraid she doesn't understand the rules and will make Madam worry more!"

When Hai Hongzhu and Hua Bushi just got married, Yan Zhenbei came to visit once. As soon as Hai Hongzhu met, he pestered his uncle to teach her how to practice the "Five Tigers Broken Door Sword"

Although Yan Zhenbei felt that she was a girl and that after she got married, she should take care of her husband and raise her children. It was useless to practice kung fu, but in the end he couldn't be pestered, so he casually taught her a few starting moves.

Hearing Zhenniang say that Hai Hongzhu asked about her a few days ago, Yan Zhenbei guessed that it was because this girl was waiting for him to come and teach her sword skills.

After drinking a few sips of tea and saying a few polite words to Zhenniang, Yan Zhenbei took the opportunity to mention the business of the escort agency.

But Zhenniang frowned and said: "The chief escort is unaware of something. The master and Master Mo hurried to Changsha Mansion a few days ago. There is no one to take care of the businesses in Wuyang City. Most of them have gone out of business. Now

There are really no goods that need to be escorted, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of your bureau’s business.”

She turned her beautiful eyes and added: "But Mr. Yan, Escort Officer, there is no need to worry. When the business reopens in the future and goods need to be transported, I will ask your Escort Agency for help."

Yan Zhenbei said: "Thank you madam for taking care of me! But I don't know when Headmaster Hua and Master Mo will return to Wuyang?"

Zhenniang said: "Master and the others have returned early today. The business in the store will be open in three to five days at most, so don't worry, Chief Bodyguard."

Yan Zhenbei looked happy and said: "That's great. The escort agency has nothing to do these days, and all the escorts are free. If they can't get any more work, my little 'Five Tiger Escort Agency' will almost die."

I can’t afford to feed them!”

Zhen Niang pursed her lips and said with a smile: "The chief escort is too modest! The 'Five Tigers Escort Bureau' is famous in Wuyang City, how can it be considered young? Miss Hongzhu married into our Hua family, our two families can be regarded as sons and daughters, so we should take care of each other.

It’s also what it should be.”

Although there was no definite whereabouts yet, with Zhenniang's promise, Yan Zhenbei's visit was not in vain. After chatting with Zhenniang for a while, he stood up and left.

Although it was just an excuse, of course Yan Zhenbei still wanted to take a look at Hai Hongzhu now that he was here. Zhenniang sent Yan Zhenbei to the back garden and said, "Young lady lives in the small courtyard in front. Mr. Yan

The head guard went in to see her, but I still have some matters to attend to, so I won’t accompany the head guard."

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

Zhenniang is gone.

The door of the small courtyard was not closed, and there was a mahogany plaque hanging above the door with the words "Xianxian Garden" inscribed on it. Yan Zhenbei took a look at it and walked in.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he heard a "ding-dong" sound, but someone was playing the piano in the room, and the sound of the piano was melodious and had a profound artistic conception. Yan Zhenbei nodded secretly and thought: Hongzhu, this girl married into the Hua family

After all this time, I have finally made some progress. It is not easy to learn to play the piano. I am no longer like before, thinking about dancing, practicing swordplay, boxing and kicking all day long. These are not things that a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family should do.

After walking two more steps, when I arrived under the window, the sound of the piano in the room had stopped, and I could only hear someone chanting:

"There is a beautiful woman here, and you will never forget it when you see her; if you don't see her for a day, you will miss her like crazy...The phoenix is ​​soaring here, and people are asking for it from all over the world; but the beauty is here, and she is not on the east wall..."

The voice of the poem was cadenced, but it was the voice of a man. Yan Zhenbei was shocked, but he immediately recognized 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.

, it turned out to be him who was playing the piano in the house.

But I heard Hua Bushi say in the room: "This 'Feng Qiu Huang' is an ancient song from the Jin Dynasty. It is really a masterpiece of expressing one's ambitions. I wonder if my wife would like to hear it?"

Yan Zhentou was a warrior with a background as a bodyguard. He had never known any ancient music from the previous dynasty. However, from the name Hua Bushi mentioned, he could guess that it must be about the love between a man and a woman, so he stopped immediately.

.

A young couple was chatting in love in the house. Although Yan Zhenbei was an elder, it was not convenient for him to disturb them.

Earlier, there was a rumor in Wuyang City that the Hua Da young master was not on good terms with his newlywed wife, so he abandoned Hai Hongzhu and went to Changsha City alone just after they got married. Yan Zhenbei didn't believe this. Hua Bushi came to the door that day.

Yan Zhenbei was asked to go to the old boxer Hai as a matchmaker, and he also said harshly that "it must happen". He was the one who fell in love with Hai Hongzhu. Even if this young master likes the new and hates the old, he wouldn't change so quickly.

Thinking of Hai Changqing, Yan Zhenbei felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Hongzhu has now married into a wealthy family. His sworn brother has worked hard all his life and should have had all the hardships, but he died so early. It is really a trick of God.

, there is no life to enjoy happiness!

After Hai Hongzhu married, the situation of the Hai family was completely different. The eldest nephew Hai Dashan was good at kung fu. Yan Zhenbei originally wanted to take him into the escort agency as an escort, but the Hua family said that they would never let the in-laws

The brothers offended the escorts and invited Hai Dashan to work as a boxing and stick instructor in the martial arts gym opened by the "Evil Dog Gate" in Wuyang City. He easily earned a lot of silver. It is said that this young master of Huada made the arrangement 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. He only thought that since the young master took care of his brother-in-law in this way, it was because he was very infatuated with Hai Hongzhu.

Because of Zhu, those words that said they were not getting along as husband and wife must be rumors.

Then I heard Hua Bushi say: "I learned this ancient song in Changsha City and spent a lot of time. Please give it a review by Miss Hai."

"You're really good at playing. You're much better than the cotton player at my door earlier! But you can't read Shu Lai Bao well, and you can't compare to the gentleman who speaks Allegro in the teahouse." The voice was clear and crisp, it was Hai Hongzhu's voice.

.

When it comes to fists, kicks, and sticks, this heroine of the sea knows a thing or two. Hua Bushi asked her to comment on ancient music, but it was not much different from playing the piano to a cow.

Hua Bushi said sarcastically: "Playing the harp and reciting poems is an elegant thing, how can it be compared with playing cotton or saying allegro, a lady's joke."

Hai Hongzhu said: "People play cotton to support their families. The gentleman who speaks Allegro also tells stories about great heroes and heroes. Why can't he play the piano and recite poems as well as you?"

Hua Bushi was silent for a while and then said: "Miss Hai is right. You don't like this song 'Phoenix Seeking Phoenix'. You probably don't like to listen to soft and graceful tunes. I'll play another song 'Ambush from Flying Daggers', Madam."

Maybe you’d like to hear it.”

Hai Hongzhu said: "You'd better save some energy! As the son of a noble family, you spend all day either talking about love or playing the piano and reciting poems. What a manly thing you do!"

Hua Bushi said: "Then from a lady's point of view, how can it be considered as something done by a man?"

Hai Hongzhu said: "A man, even if he cannot serve the country and make contributions, at least should practice martial arts, fight with swords, and eliminate harm for the people. That is what heroes do, but you are a harm, so what are you doing to eliminate harm?"

Forget it!”

Hua Bushi smiled and said: "It turns out that my wife still has such expectations for her husband. Hua Bushi must work hard to fulfill her expectations."

Hai Hongzhu spat: "Who has any expectations from you? It doesn't matter whether you work hard or not! You promised not to restrict my freedom before, but in the past few months, I can't even think about the Hua Family Mansion. What is it?"

reason!"

Hua Bushi asked curiously: "Really? But the gatekeepers won't let you leave the house?"

He then said "Oh" and said, "That's probably the rule set by my father when I'm not in Wuyang."

Hai Hongzhu said: "I don't care, anyway, I have something to do out of the house."

Hua Bushi said: "If dad sets the rules, even I wouldn't dare to violate them. Why does Miss Hai have to leave the house?"

Hai Hongzhu said: "If you can't control it, I will leave the house. Do you agree?"

Hua Bushi was silent for a while and then said: "Actually, it's not difficult to leave the house, as long as you know the way and sneak out secretly. My father didn't allow me to leave the house before, so I often did this..."

He stopped talking and suddenly asked: "Who is outside the window?"

Although this young master does not know martial arts, his ears are very sensitive and he actually heard someone outside the window.

Yan Zhenbei didn't believe that Hua Bushi and Hai Hongzhu were not on good terms as husband and wife, but after listening to their conversation just now, he felt that there was no harmony between the two of them. He was afraid that the rumors were true, so he thought in his heart

For a while, he forgot to control his breathing, and was noticed by Hua Bushi.
