Chapter One Thousand and Twenty-Nine

Outside the front door, the most lively place in the capital, businessmen gathered, pedestrians were weaving.

Erfu, Xiao Qi and the others got out of the carriage at the corner of the street and went to the place where the crowd was most dense.

Drilling through the crowd around the layers, Erfu saw clearly inside, it was a few street performers who were juggling, looking at the three-inch thick bluestone slab pressed on the thin little girl, a strong man with more than 200 pounds picked up a big hammer and smashed it down, it was called a stimulus, and the second son who was beating the gong next to him to attract onlookers was holding a monkey with a bald tail, and was begging for rewards in a circle, not to mention how lively it was.

Xiao Qi's attention was completely attracted by a young man next to him who was performing a fire-spitting performance.

She grabbed the corner of Erf's sleeve, threw out a slippery silver bead for reward, shouted loudly, and suggested loudly: "Mother, we should come outside more in the future, you see how interesting it is here!"

"It's up to your father to decide on this matter!" Erph smiled and pointed to the black-faced fourth master next to him.

This is a crowded place, people are crowded, the fourth master is obviously very uncomfortable with such a lively place, although there are guards next to him secretly protecting, not too many people squeezed to the fourth master and Erfu and others, but he can still sensitively feel that the vacant space on his side is getting less and less, and then look at Erfu who is full of smiles and Xiao Qi who is still going forward, no wonder he will have a black face.

"Dad, can we come often in the future?" But Xiao Qi didn't notice the fourth master's discomfort, her face was full of excited smiles, and she asked loudly, and at the same time she didn't forget to applaud again and again, that look really didn't show any elegance.

Su Peisheng shook his head with a wry smile.

He dared to say that after today, if the fourth master could still accompany Fu Jin and Xiao Gege to play, he would be completely stupid.

However, it is obvious that the fourth master is a spoiled child and a completely unprincipled father, although he still has a black face, he still nodded, and promised to lead Xiaoqi and Erfu out to play when he has the opportunity in the future.

The liveliness of juggling is just a lively one, and it is enough to watch it for a while.

Erfu twisted the handkerchief and wiped the sweat beads on her head, pulled Xiao Qi, who was still a little unsatisfied, protected by the fourth master, and finally squeezed out of the crowd, took a deep breath, pointed to a stall selling herbal tea not far away, and said softly: "Xiao Qi, this girl has been called for a long time, she must have been broken, let's go over and taste a big bowl of tea!"

After speaking, without waiting for the fourth master to agree, she went to the tea stall like a naughty child.

The big bowl of tea is a relatively distinctive culture in Beijing.

In the slightly larger stall, there is a row of earthen stoves against the wall, on the stove is a copper kettle with a long spout, three or five tables of eight immortals are placed on the table, with a long bench, as soon as the guest sits, there is a little second brother who runs to pour tea, the big teapot is raised high, a clear stream flows out of the spout, the hand towel board is thrown on the shoulder, the plate containing the dried fruit is put on the table, the action reveals a free and easy, not as exquisite as the teahouse, but it makes people feel refreshed, and it is interesting to look at.

And the smaller stall, that is, an old man picks a pick, one end is a small cabinet with a large tea bowl, the other end is a stove with a mud hoop, and there is a steaming copper kettle sitting on it, the visitor drops a copper, the old man hands a clean big bowl, and drinks it all in one gulp, quenching his thirst and being happy.

The fourth master, who was accustomed to holding a bowl of tea and tasting it carefully, looked at the small shop in front of him that was full of oil-stained twist flowers, twisted his eyebrows, and his face was full of disgust, but looking at Erfu's very high interest, he couldn't say anything to refuse, so he gave Su Peisheng a look, threw out a string of coppers, and in a blink of an eye, three or five plates of dried fruits were placed on the table, and then threw out a few coppers to Xiao Er'er, who ran away, Xiao Er'er pulled Changyin'er and thanked him, even if he completed the consumption, and then you sat here all day, and no one would say a word.

This kind of small tea shop, different from those tall teahouses, everywhere is exquisite, storytelling and singing, but it is definitely not authentic, often some crooked melons and cracked dates, the appearance does not meet the aesthetics of the little old man sitting on the small bench by the wall, pulling the erhu, humming a few words with his eyes closed, peanuts and melon seeds are also available, but the presentation is not particular enough, the little second brother grabs it casually, that is a plate, more more, less less, and no one will be picky, sitting here is to drink tea to quench your thirst, you glance, I don't know if I know it or not, I talk and laugh, anyway, there are two words - comfortable, and the people who can walk in are mostly those poor people who are not decent enough.

People like the fourth master and Erfu who are well-dressed and elegant, sitting there are definitely out of the West.

Drinking a bowl of warm tea, quenching her thirst, and eating two petals of peanuts, Erfu also felt a little uncomfortable, because no one wanted to be watched, and then looked at Xiao Qi and Hongxuan, who were blinking and looking east and west with big eyes, she secretly pulled the fourth master who was sitting on her side, and decided to give this opportunity to be a villain to the fourth master.

The fourth master was speechless, but he didn't refuse, because he was about to be looked down upon by those people.

When Hongxuan and Xiao Qi returned their attention to the big tea bowl on the table, the fourth master clapped his hands and beckoned the family to retreat, this big bowl of tea was refreshing and thirst-quenching, but it couldn't stop the embarrassment of being watched, Xiao Qi and Hongxuan were not stupid, who could be willing to stay in the tea shop and be watched like monkeys, so after drinking all the tea in three or two sips, they followed the fourth master and Erfu to continue to wander the street.

Where there are people, there is right and wrong, and the more people, the more right and wrong.

Outside the front door, there are not only powerful artists and vendors who set up stalls to sell things from all over the world, but also those ruffians who can't get on the stage, groups of ruffians who are splashing skin, stalking their necks, shaking fans, walking and turning, there is no place on the body that does not tremble, and from time to time they grab a handful of food from the street stalls, and they look at it with a sense of disgust.

Of course, this kind of person is a smart person, and he will not jump out to offend a well-dressed big man like Erfu and the fourth master.

However, it does not prevent some people from liking to do things that eliminate violence and peace, such as Hongxuan and Xiaoqi.

Less than ten meters away in front of Erfu's eyes, a crooked ruffian wearing a silk gown touched the face of the little girl who was selling embroidery next to him again, Hongxuan and Xiaoqi jumped out, they said that they just couldn't get used to this kind of bullying, and the two and a half children were also bold, and they rushed up to kick hard, although Hongxuan had learned some kung fu, but in the end it was a child, and was soon pulled apart by the ruffian who pulled his braids, just when the little ruffian was going to grab Xiao Qi and beat him hard, the fourth master rolled up his sleeves and went up。

Seeing this scene, Erfu covered her face speechlessly, and at the same time threw Su Peisheng an eye knife as if asking for help.

No one thought that the fourth master would do such a righteous thing, and even the guards who followed behind him did not react, and the ruffian accomplices surrounded the fourth master.

"Old boy, which guy didn't tie his belt!"

"Grandson, dare to bare your teeth with our Haisha Gang, I really don't know how to write the word dead!"

"Sensei talk nonsense with him, beat him!"

The fourth master is not the king of Zhijun Yinyu, nor is he the king of Chengjun, he knows how to do kung fu with his fists and feet, but it is not much, if he cleans up and makes the ruffians splash his skin, but he is surrounded by a group of ruffians and puffers, then he will be left to be beaten, but he still has to protect Xiao Qi, and without waiting for the guards to follow, he was beaten by a reckless man without paying attention.

"This is the foot of the Son of Heaven, the first good area, but I didn't expect you scum to disturb the stability.

Yes, this grandfather is in a good mood, so he will solve you for Shuntianfu. The fourth master angrily pointed at the ruffians who were still going to do it, took two steps back, and reprimanded him coldly, and then without waiting for these ruffians to surround him again, he waved his hand and asked the guards to come forward to help.

A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, and the fourth master won't fight to the death with these people.

If you want to say that these ruffians should be unlucky, change their eyes, and when they see Xiao Qi and Hongxuan's valuable clothes, they should back down, where will they have a dispute with the fourth master, but the ruffian who was beaten today is a muddy person, and the person who stepped forward to help in order to show his righteousness, it is not easy to retreat, and he will get into trouble all of a sudden.

The prince was beaten, the guards moved, it must not be light, three times five divided by two will be this wave of ruffians fell to the ground, those ruffians were going to shout two sentences, put down a few cruel words, but did not expect that before they could say these cruel words, the leading guard commander directly threw out a waist card, and those who were onlookers next to him quickly saw, where did they dare to hide next to watch the excitement, shackle the chains, take the sticks and take the sticks, and directly lock up the ruffians who were still lying on the ground and humming The ruffians were locked up and taken away。

"Does it hurt?" Erf took a few steps forward a little timidly, came to the fourth master, and asked in a low voice.

"Ye is majestic enough!" The bad environment can easily affect a person's style of acting, if it were in normal times, the fourth master would definitely not fight with those ruffians, but now he felt that he was as majestic as the general of the Desheng Dynasty, not only did he not feel ashamed, but he also held his chest a little proudly, and asked Erfu.

In this regard, Erfu could only nod helplessly, and it was not good to say anything to puncture the dream of the fourth master.

"Let's continue shopping!" The fourth master patted Hongxuan, who was still a little stunned, and greeted Xiao Qi, who was hiding beside Erfu to be pitiful, pointed to the lively street market in front, and said with a smile.

"Let's find a place to rest!" Erph whispered, wiping the non-existent beads of sweat from her forehead with some embarrassment.

Erfu's suggestion was unanimously approved by Xiao Qi, Hongxuan, and even Su Peisheng and others, because the black marks on the fourth master's face were too damaging to the beauty, but the fourth master was still at a loss, and followed Erfu into a teahouse on the street with some disappointment.

Su Peisheng took the lead in asking for a private room, waited for the fourth master and others to enter the private room, and guarded the door of the private room.

In the private room, Erfu waited for Xiao Er'er to send hot tea, snacks, and dried fruits, moistened the handkerchief with tea, smiled and came to the fourth master, lightly touched the fourth master's cheek, and said softly: "Those ruffians are really too damaged, and they took the opportunity to attack you in the face when you didn't have time to fight back while you were protecting the child!"

Ahh

Only then did the fourth master realize that something was wrong, he reached out and touched the place where Erfu had wiped it with a handkerchief, and felt a slight pain, and then looked at Xiao Qi and Hongxuan couldn't help but laugh, where did he not know that he was embarrassed this time, he cleared his throat a little embarrassed, and said recklessly: "Where are the rules of these people, that is, some bastards who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, if it weren't for their two children to follow, the master would have beaten them so much that they couldn't get up!"

"This kind of battle of wills is really not in line with the temperament of the master!" Erfu said with a light smile.

"Hey, I just can't get used to them bullying people. The fourth master obviously knew that his words were not convincing, so he hastily put an end to this matter, so he picked up the tea bowl without embarrassment or embarrassment, took a small sip, and pondered how to get back face, otherwise he, Amma, would have completely lost face in front of Xiao Qi and Hongxuan.

Erfu has long known that the fourth master's fist and foot skills are not good, and he will not bring up this topic again, but it does not prevent someone from taking the initiative to send it to the door to die.

This man is the legendary leader of the Seasand Gang.

Su Dala, a descendant of the Su Jia clan under the leadership of the Blue Banner, a child of the Eight Banners who led the Lu, the ancestor was also a fierce general who opened up territory and expanded the territory for the Qing Dynasty, but his children and grandchildren were not very competitive, and he had already withdrawn from the court, and this bastard boy was unwilling to be so down, so he recruited more than a dozen idle gangs outside the front door, and made a so-called Haisha Gang, bent on learning Song Jiang in the Water Margin and being a righteous child.

He heard that his gang was taken away by the yacha who patrolled the streets of Shuntianfu, and learned that it was a bad thing for an old boy with an eye, and he was provoked by the people below, so he came directly to the door, and it was also a shame that they could find the fourth master who was already sitting in the teahouse and talking, when the door of the private room was kicked open, Su Peisheng rolled in from the outside like a ball, Erfu was really startled, because she really didn't expect that someone would be so stupid, knowing that the fourth master's origin was not small, she even took the initiative to send it to the door to find death.

"Master, the slave has disgraced you!" Su Peisheng is the great eunuch in front of the fourth master, he knows some fists and feet, but he is not a martial arts master, he was kicked into the private room from the outside, he didn't care about anything else at all, he knelt down and asked for sin, he was also unlucky, if he could be more vigilant, he would not be kicked into the private room from the outside, he was originally leaning on the door of the private room stunned, and he was not prepared for someone to send the door to find trouble.

"While standing. The fourth master waved his hand angrily, drove Su Peisheng to the side, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the dozen or so ruffians with sticks blocking the door of the private room, and asked coldly, "Who are you, don't you know that making trouble for no reason is a violation of the king's law." After saying that, he had already thrown a secret message to the guards who were in charge of protecting him outside, he had already lost face once, and he didn't want to be embarrassed by these ruffians again.

Sudara relied on the background of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, looked at the fourth master's good dress, but he didn't take it to heart, he came in with a yo-yo in his hand, sat at the table with a big grin, and thought that he was handsome and threw a small look at Erfu, and then threatened the fourth master with an angry face: "Old boy, don't look at you dressed like a person, but if the master wants to clean you up, it's just as simple as pinching an ant to death, if you don't want to crawl out of the front door, then ......." ”

With that, he stood up, spread his legs, pointed to the space between them, and made a suggestive motion.
