At that time, the streets of the inner city were deserted. The servant drove the carriage back to Tingwei's mansion honestly. There was sweat on his face and an anxious look on his brows.

Occasionally, the sound of retching could be faintly heard in the carriage, and there was a faint bitterness in the silent street.

After the carriage stopped, he honestly got into the carriage and held Chen Jinqiu's shoulders. He waved to the servant holding a lantern in front of the door with one hand and said urgently: "Go and tell me to prepare a bowl of sobering soup. The third master is drunk!"

The servant hurriedly handed the lantern to Lao Shi's hand and trotted towards the kitchen.

"Old man, look down on me, you... vomit... cough cough..." Chen Jinqiu lay on Laoshi's back like a puddle of mud, he retched and coughed while cursing, "You... one day... you will beg me...

...please ask me..."

Chen Jinqiu was heavy, so he carried it honestly for two steps. When he reached the steps, Chen Jinqiu moved around and fell down, falling heavily on his face to the ground!

"Oh! Third Master, Third Master!" Lao Shi hurriedly leaned over to help him, "Third Master, get up quickly. It's late at night. Don't shout. If you startle outsiders, you will inevitably spread the joke tomorrow."

Chen Jinqiu lay on the ground and vomited some wine, and the smelly red, white, and yellow stuff hung from his mouth. He didn't know where he got the strength to suddenly wave away Honesty, and said with drunken eyes: "Pass it on! Give it all to me."

Pass! Say it and let everyone comment! Who am I? Ugh...Old, I am the right eunuch of Tingwei. Your Majesty personally conferred the title to Jiuqing!" Chen Jinqiu tried to stand up, but he stumbled and fell to the ground again.

On the ground. He lay on the ground and rubbed the sand in front of him, and said in a sharp voice, "I was born in the Chen family. I am responsible for one of the three prison sentences! Why do they look down on me?! They only recognize me as my eldest brother."

,Yes! My eldest brother is the eldest son. But I am not the son of a concubine! My mother is the eldest lady of the Chen family!!!"

There was a hint of choking behind him as he spoke, and his fingertips scraped dirt. The endless suppressed anger in his body suddenly surged into his heart, and he immediately clenched his fist and hit the ground hard!

Honest and Chen Jinqiu grew up together. Seeing Chen Jinqiu suffer such a huge injustice, his eyes immediately turned red. He knelt down slowly with his hands on his knees, and a line of tears also flowed down. He said with a cry.

"Third Master, you are Lord Tingwei, you are a legitimate Lord Tingwei!" He said honestly and wiped his tears, "Third Master, you are honest and clumsy, and you are stupid, but with the support of Third Master, you are also strong-willed!

Those old guys don't recognize it if they don't recognize it. They were just begging for food with our Chen family back then. How can they get official meals without the support of the master! Third Master, we don't want to be angry with the bastards. God has it.

Eyes, they will not be rewarded for being so ungrateful! I will carry you back to rest honestly, come on, I will carry you honestly..."

Frankly, he put Chen Jinqiu's arms on his shoulders, but Chen Jinqiu's body became heavier and heavier, and his feet dragged on the ground like soft-legged shrimps. He gritted his teeth and put Chen Jinqiu's hands on his shoulders, and carried him step by step towards

Walk up the steps.

"Honestly... do you think I'm too spineless?" Chen Jinqiu's head hung on Honest's shoulder, "They all said that I'm not as good as my eldest brother..."

Saliva dripped down Laoshi's shoulders and seeped into his clothes, giving off a strong smell of alcohol. Beads of sweat formed on Laoshi's forehead and fell down as he moved forward slowly.

He gritted his teeth and mentioned the person, and said with a naive smile: "The third master and the eldest master are both the pillars of the Chen family, both."

"Haha, I am the backbone of the Chen family..." Chen Jinqiu twitched his eyelids and his voice became softer and softer, "I am no worse than him..."

Nodding honestly, he walked through the long front corridor with others on his back. When he reached the middle corridor, the servant who had returned saw this situation and immediately went up to help him. He did not exit until Chen Jinqiu was sent to the bedroom.

Lao Shi stood in front of the door and looked around. He saw the dim entrance to the courtyard with the light of lanterns. Before others could see it clearly, he got angry and yelled: "Why are you so slow? A bowl of hangover soup will really kill you mud-legged people."

My life! Let’s see how I deal with it tomorrow——”.z.br

"Um?"

The sound of a slow and old nasal voice made Lao Shi's whole body tremble.

He was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot and nervously called out in a low voice: "Old Madam."

The old lady of the Chen family moved forward slowly with a cane, and behind her were two maids, one holding a lantern, and the other holding a food tray with a steaming bowl of hangover soup.

"Honestly, I'm not telling you that." The old lady said slowly, "Growing up in the house, have you forgotten the rule of not making loud noises at night?"

Lao Shi held his knees with his hands and lowered his head, as if in fear, and whispered in a low voice: "Young man knows your mistake and is willing to learn from the family."

"Ten big boards." The old lady waved her hand, "Go and receive the punishment."

Lao Shi bowed respectfully and retreated dejectedly.

The maid helped the old lady into the bedroom, then lit the candle on the lamp on the table, and another person placed the food plate.

The old lady put down her crutches, waved her hands to the two of them, and said, "Everyone, step back and guard the yard. No one is allowed to come in without my order."

The maids all knelt down and bowed, closing the door as they exited.

The old lady sat quietly on the chair for a moment, then stood up with her knees in hand, slowly picked up the bowl of hangover soup, and then slowly walked to the bed and sat down.

She stretched out her old palm to smooth Chen Jinqiu's hair, and said in a kind voice: "Son, can you get up and drink the soup?"

Chen Jinqiu was so drunk that he thought the person talking next to him was a servant.

He pulled up the quilt and muttered something vague, saying: "Stay back, don't bother me...don't bother me..."

The old lady sighed, and then placed the bowl on the small table beside the bed.

She rubbed Chen Jinqiu's temples and said in an almost inaudible voice: "You are so old, but you still have childishness. Alas, my mother knows that you are in pain. My mother has wronged you, and the Chen family has wronged you. Go to sleep, mother.

Look at you, ah." She seemed to call softly, and then patted Chen Jinqiu's shoulder as if to comfort an angry child, "Mom is with you."

The candlelight flickered, casting the shadow of the old lady on the paper window. Half-way up a big tree in the courtyard, the man in white leaned against the tree wall and stared quietly for a moment, then said to himself: "It seems that this is the eldest lady of the Chen family."

, it’s not a fuel-efficient lamp either.”

On the first day of the day, Bai Yi went out early in the morning to visit Yanyun Pavilion in the inner city. After doing some business, he left the inner city and went straight to Dongmen Street in the outer nine cities.

In the gambling hall of the Julong Gang, the sounds of Pai Gow and dice were like the collision between bamboo and wood, rippling through the curtains and spreading outside.

Baiyi entered, raised his chin towards the waiter, and said, "I'm looking for Gao Cheng."

"Hey, Master Bai." The waiter turned around and said, "Master Bai, you will do things as soon as you come here? Are you not interested in playing tricks?"

"The dice in your gambling house are heavier than others." Baiyi opened a paper fan to fan the wind, "I don't have a big pocket, can I afford to play with you?"

"This is a big joke, Mr. Bai." The waiter stepped on the rooster step and raised his thumb arrogantly, "This is what you are here with. How dare we accept money from you?"

"Come on." Baiyi closed the paper fan and hit the waiter on the head, "Where are you going with me? Lead the way."

The waiter got an advantage and was smiling, but when he grinned, his swollen face suddenly gasped, and he muttered secretly: "Fuck."

Bai Yi smiled and asked, "What's wrong with your face?"

"Damn it, Miss Jiang got beaten up." The waiter opened the bead curtain in the inner hall, "This is the first time I've seen this. This girl is really serious."

"What did you say?"

The thick Sichuan and Sichuan accent was full of coldness, and the waiter suddenly shrank his shoulders in fright.

Bai Yi raised his eyes and saw that there were only two people in the inner hall at the moment. One was Yuan Ji, who was sitting in the corner, while Jiang Guo was leaning on the sofa with his arms stretched out, holding the cigarette stick with his long fingers and taking a sip, and he was immediately stunned.

His eyes turned to Baiyi.

Baiyi looked around and asked, "Where is Gaocheng? Aren't the Julong Gang going to hold a banquet today? If he is not the gang leader, who will talk about it then?"

"Master went to a newly opened teahouse to listen to music. I heard that Jiao is from Yanzhou and will come back in the evening." After the waiter finished reporting, seeing Jiang Guo still staring at him, he touched his face in fear and retreated.

The man in front of the bead curtain smiled dumbly, "I'm going to the front hall to see what's going on. Mr. Bai, Miss Jiang, Mr. Yuan, please excuse me."

The waiter walked out of the door, pointed at Yuan Ji with a paper fan in white clothes, and said jokingly: "Master Yuan? You are senior enough. It only took one day for the people from the Julong Gang to admit defeat?"

"I am now a retainer in Gaocheng. They call me nice on the surface, but secretly they all have knives ready to serve me.

." Yuan Ji drank the tea and immediately looked at Bai Yi, "How about less gossiping? What is the attitude of the old officials in the prison?"

"I can't even urinate at the same time. I even dislike him." Bai Yi picked a cherry from Jiang Guo's dining pot. "Yesterday, I showed him off on the spot at Qingfeng Tower. His face turned black with anger. He was drunk.

, I guess I’m still lying on the bed now.”

Jiang Guo glared at Bai Yi with dissatisfaction, then stared at the cherry in his hand without saying anything, and just took a long puff of cigarette.

"This is expected, so we'll act accordingly." Yuanji stood up and walked to the window to look, "Have you invited me?"

"Please, they are all top-notch beauties, and the old woman is still complaining about me." Baiyi pulled out the branches of the cherry, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed, "Although it is a building opened by the Chamber of Commerce, there is no top-notch beauty this night.

It’s a lot of money.”

"Three of the four major gangs in the Outer Nine Cities have gathered together. Are you afraid that you won't have the money to pay for it?" Yuanji stood in front of the window and looked sideways at him, "I paid for the banquet set up by the Julong Gang."

"Luxury!" Jiang Guo puffed out thick smoke and tapped the cigarette stick on the table, "He's a man!"

Bai Yi couldn't help but laugh. He knelt down with his robe in hand, looked at the two of them and said, "When did you two get together?"

"What do you mean by hooking up?" Jiang Guo turned his head and carried the two of them, "I am doing a favor for my grandpa."

Baiyi nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay."

Yuan Ji looked far away, his eyes reflected the scenery of the inner city, and asked: "Miss..."

"Master has ordered us to finish the matter first." Baiyi raised his arm to pour tea and said lightly, "Miss, I don't want to see you."

Yuan Ji looked at the decorated building in the distance and asked, "Is she angry with me?"

Bai Yi poured the tea, took a sip, and said, "Why are you so angry? You are a slave. If things are done well, you will be rewarded. If you do not do well, you will be punished."

Yuanji didn't answer. He was silent for a while and turned around and said, "Yes."
