Chapter 1172: Stealing Incense and Stealing Jade
The night is not deep, and the moonlight is beautiful.
There are two or three pedestrians on the street, and the people are chatting with the neighbors in the shade at the door of their respective homes, leisurely and leisurely.
Chang Yu and Song Luoshu walked unhurriedly towards the east of the city, and the background of the rich woman who met in the mountains had already been inquired about by the little eunuch, whose surname was Biyun, who was seventeen years old and a wealthy family in the east of the city, and had no children as the only daughter in the family.
The Zhang family entered the courtyard three times, the front door was facing the street and the back door was facing the river, and it almost didn't take much trouble for Chang Yu to find out the detailed address, and at this time, he and Song Luoshu stood under the shade of the tree opposite the gate of the Zhang family, looking at the two lanterns hanging in front of the door.
In this era, the standard configuration of the gate of the rich family is to hang a plaque on the door, hang a lamp in front of the door, tie a horse stake next to the door, and have all kinds of chapters.
"It seems that the Zhang family's business is not small!" Chang Yu sighed.
"Don't you know that the Zhang family is a salt merchant?" Song Luoshu was surprised, he had just inquired about the address of Zhang's house all the way, and after hearing some news, he thought Chang Yu knew.
Chang Yu obviously didn't know, and was slightly surprised: "I just heard her say that her family runs a cloth village, and it turns out that she is still a salt merchant, no wonder!" ”
In the Ming Dynasty, private individuals were not allowed to sell salt, and they had to get a business license (salt citation) to pay salt tax silver, and then go to the designated salt-producing area to buy salt from the stove households, and then go to the designated place to sell it. In order to obtain this privilege, salt merchants must confess to the competent government authorities. When you recognize the nest, you have to pay a huge amount of silver. The salt merchant who held the lead had the hereditary privilege of transporting and selling salt.
So to put it simply, the salt merchant has a strong family of money, and secondly, he has a close relationship with the government, and it is not something that anyone can do if they want to.
I didn't expect Zhang Biyun to be a weighty Bai Fumei.
"My lord, shall we just knock on the door and go in or go over the wall?" Song Luoshu asked a little stupidly, Chang Yu was speechless: "Luoshu, are we ...... Hey, got it."
Song Luoshu hurriedly nodded: "Understood, understood, secretly."
Chang Yu smiled, Song Luoshu looked around, at this time the night is not too deep there are pedestrians on the street, and there are also neighbors who can't sleep on a hot day and take a cool breath at the door, if they climb over the wall and are seen, it will be very bad, so he said: "Stay a moment, go and investigate."
Song Luoshu was originally an assassin, and he was clear about stepping on this matter, and as he spoke, he slipped north along the wall of the Zhang family's courtyard, and Chang Yu felt a little abrupt when he stood at the door, so he walked a few steps towards the corner of the wall next to him.
At this time, a watchman came over: "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles" and then saw the little eunuch in the shadows on the side of the road, and his voice became louder: "Close the door and close the window, prevent thieves and theft"
Chang Yu was very embarrassed, so he had to pretend to be relieved, and the husband scolded in a low voice and left.
Song Luoshu turned back after a while, and told Chang Yu that this Zhang's house is really big, but there is no need to go into the courtyard in front of him, and he went straight to the back house, where the river is remote and quiet, and there are no people.
The two quietly slipped to the corner of the backyard wall, Chang Yu looked around, the river is remote and there are trees to block it, it is too suitable for doing something bad, but the courtyard wall here is very high, nearly four meters.
"I shouldn't have slept at this time" Chang Yu squatted in the corner and muttered, Song Luoshu hummed: "It's hot this summer, and people sleep late...... Let's go up and have a look."
Song Luoshu was born as an assassin, although his light body kung fu is not as good as the night demon, the blood bat and others are so rebellious but far superior to ordinary people, with a little help, he went up to the wall, leaned over the wall and looked at the backyard, and saw that there were no lights in the main hall, and there were still candles in the side room.
Chang Yu was overjoyed when he heard this, the general head of the family lived in the main house, and the side room was most likely Zhang Biyun's boudoir, and said in a low voice: "Drag me up."
Chang Yu doesn't have any light body skills, but the bounce is still very good, running a few steps to look at the wall and jumping, Song Luoshu pulled his hand hard, easily pulled it up to the courtyard wall, the two climbed on the top to observe the terrain, and when they were about to go down, they suddenly heard a dog barking, which scared the two of them.
It turned out that there was a big dog leashed in front of the backyard door, and at this time it was barking at the two of them, and when he was at a loss, he heard a male voice shouting in the main room: "Huzi, what is it called?"
Oops, I'll go, Chang Yu and Song Luoshu hurriedly slipped down from the wall, squatting in the corner of the wall and smiling bitterly, the little eunuch, who was invincible and fearless on the battlefield, felt his heart beat faster at this time, and goosebumps rose on his nervous arms.
"Luo Shu, you used to be a fool of the rivers and lakes, is there a way to shut up this kind of dog?"
"Yes" Song Luoshu nodded: "Kill it!" ”
Chang Yu was speechless for a moment: "We're here to steal people, not to kill dogs, don't you have that kind of sweat medicine or something to fascinate it."
"My lord, what I did in the past was the work of killing, whether it was killing people or killing dogs, I would understand it when I went up, and I was not a thief, where did that thing come from" Song Luoshu scratched his head with a bitter face, and Chang Yu sighed: "Li Muxian must have it, but the bull's nose and mouth are not strict......"
"The Taoist is a monk, how can there be those things," Song Luoshu was surprised.
Chang Yu pouted: "He is a monk, but he has not entered other people's homes, that guy is good at everything, there is no thing!" Song Luoshu was stunned, and then patted his head: "The adults are here for a while, and they will come when they go to their humble duties."
The big dog in the courtyard stopped barking at this time, Chang Yu didn't dare to pant loudly, and listened to the man and the big dog in the courtyard: "Did Huzi find out that there was a thief......
"Sir, sir, but there is a thief," asked the housekeeper at the door of the front yard.
"I didn't find any thieves, maybe it was a wild cat or something" The man seemed to warn yes: "If there are really thieves who come to attack my Zhang family's idea, it is blind and in the wrong place."
I heard him talk to Jiading again, and I couldn't hear it clearly, Chang Yu was a little anxious as a thief, and suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Daddy, what's wrong?" It was Zhang Biyun's voice.
"It's okay, it's too stuffy in the house, Daddy comes out to be cool, why don't you sleep so late?" The man asked.
"Daddy also said that the house is hot, and Xiaochan's snoring is so loud that I can't sleep" Zhang Biyun coquettishly, the man laughed and scolded: "Xiaochan is tired of climbing the mountain today......" The father and daughter talked, and the man went back to the house to sleep, and the yard was quiet again.
Chang Yu outside the courtyard wall became more and more excited, the girl didn't sleep so late, it was really hot, and the maid next door was snoring?
You must know that there is no TV to watch these days, there is no mobile phone to play, and most people go to bed at seven or eight o'clock at night.
I'm afraid that there is still a possibility, the girl is pregnant with spring.
Imagine a rich daughter, who rarely goes out on weekdays, is either a female celebrity or reads and writes, and has almost zero contact opportunities and experience with the opposite sex.
Zhang Biyun is no exception, since she returned home from the mountains, she has been like a different person, sometimes in a daze and sometimes snickering, her parents have not checked for a while, but Xiaochan, the personal maid, saw the door and secretly asked her who the son-in-law was?
So Zhang Biyun was full of sorrow, and sighed: "The children of the official family in the capital, just passing through here when you go out of Beijing to play" It was difficult to hide a faint sadness in his words.
"That boy doesn't look like a rich man!" Xiaochan felt that the sons of the rich and noble families were all white and clean, and they were graceful with a fan in their hands, but although Chang Yu was talented, his skin was not so white and tender, and he was too thick.
"He is a son of a military attaché's family, didn't he see that his entourage is all burly people with swords" Zhang Biyun sighed: "Although he said that he went south to play, I always felt that it was not so simple...... It's not that simple."
"It turned out to be a martial artist, is he going to fight" Xiaochan was startled and said: "Miss usually dislikes martial artists and is rude, how can she treat this boy and brother differently."
Zhang Biyun's eyes lit up: "Although he is a martial artist, he is an all-round talent in literature and martial arts, and he is full of poetry and songs, and even more so, he can sing songs, I have never heard of that song, but the melody is very ear-catching, and the words are full of breath......"
After dinner, Zhang Biyun tirelessly talked about the good of the little eunuch in the boudoir, and the maid Xiaochan who listened to it yawned and finally went back to the room to sleep, but how could the Huaichun girl sleep, tossing and turning, after all, she couldn't sleep, and heard the dog barking in the courtyard, got up and pushed the window and talked to her father after a few words, it was still difficult to fall asleep, she looked at the moonlight outside the window, pondered for a long time before closing the window and returning to the bed, and heard someone whispering: "Biyun, Biyun......"
The voice is so familiar, like the brother who is often surnamed Gongzi.
Zhang Biyun raised his hand and patted his head, thinking about anything, he was hallucinating.
It's just that the voice is still there, and it is getting clearer and clearer when it comes from the window, Zhang Biyun suddenly realized what turned over and said in a low voice: "Chang Gongzi? ”
"It's me" Chang Yu crouched under the window: "You open the window and I'll go in, I'm afraid of your big wolf dog."
Zhang Biyun was surprised, happy and ashamed: "This, this ,......" The women's boudoir is not allowed to men to enter during the day, not to mention the big night, this ...... The plot that is only found in the kind of forbidden books can be .......
"I'll just go in and talk, and don't do anything else, quietly no one knows" Chang Yu's heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Zhang Biyun took a deep breath, listened to the snoring of the maid Xiaochan outside, gritted her teeth and opened the window, and a black shadow rolled in.
Familiar taste, familiar appearance, really that teenager.
"Chang Gongzi ......" Zhang Biyun closed the window, Xiaguang lowered his head and didn't know what to say, but Chang Yu hugged him: "I don't see it for a moment, it's like every other autumn, I think about it very much."
Zhang Biyun was suddenly so ashamed that she couldn't describe it, and her whole body was soft and trembling: "Chang Gongzi, this is not good, don't be so ......"
"It's okay, I'll just hug and don't do anything else," Chang Yu said and kissed him.
Woo woo, Chang Gongzi......
I'm going to touch it and don't do anything else......
I can't get in......
The candlelight in the room was extinguished, and Song Luoshu gnawed on the chicken leg on the roof, throwing the bones down casually, and the big wolf dog was very enjoyable.
