"What, the rent for the next two years is completely free and we won't be charged any more?"

The bearded man's jaw almost dropped in shock, and he checked again with Landlady Chen, who was smiling brightly in front of him.

Landlord Chen nodded immediately:

"That's right, not only your father and daughter's house, but also the entire yard, you don't have to pay the rent for the next two years. You two can live in it, but the other tenants will notify them tomorrow to move out and make room. You two can

The accommodation is more spacious.”

He nodded and bowed:

"The younger one has been neglecting Brother Huang before and doesn't know how to be a good man. I'm really sorry. I also hope that the elder brother and your daughter-in-law will take care of each other."

The bearded man and the little girl in the red coat looked at each other.

While landlord Chen was talking, Pei Shisanniang stood aside and looked at the Huang family father and daughter with a smile. During this period, she adjusted the purple and gold silk hanging on the floor at the crook of her lower arm so that it would not touch the muddy ground of this old courtyard.

.

She smiled kindly and reached out to touch the head of the little girl in a red coat behind the bearded man.

Huang Xuan subconsciously retreated and hid.

Pei Shisanniang was not annoyed and took her hand back calmly.

The bearded man asked in surprise: "Mr. Chen, why are you exempting the rent for two years and... giving us the whole yard..."

Landlady Chen was silent and turned to look at Pei Shisanniang beside him.

Pei Shisanniang looked away from Huang Xuan, looked at the bearded man, and suddenly asked:

"What do you call Brother Huang?"

"I don't dare to be the eldest brother." The bearded man scratched his head in embarrassment: "My surname is Huang, and my name is Feihong. I am the eldest in the family. You can also call me Huang Da. This is the little girl. Her name is Xuan. Just call her Xiaoxuan.

.”

"Okay, Brother Huang." Pei Shisanniang smiled and nodded: "Actually, it's not just this room. Landlord Chen is so generous. How can I be stingy?"

She spread a palm flat to her side, and a burly guard behind her took something out of his arms, lowered his head and handed it to her, placing it in her palm.

Huang Feihong and Huang Xuan looked intently, and saw a bunch of brass keys with copper rings lying on the palms of their hands wearing jade bracelets. They saw her kind face and said softly:

"This is the key to the big house facing the street at the entrance of the alley two hundred feet west. The slave family has just arrived in Xunyang. It is not as good as in Yangzhou. There is not much to offer. This house is a little bit of the slave family's heart. Please invite Brother Huang and

Xiaoxuan must accept it and don’t be polite to the slave family."

"This...this gift..."

Huang Feihong's eyes widened and he was speechless.

Huang Xuan, who was hiding behind her father, also tilted her head out and looked at the sudden noble lady and the copper key in her hand with her mouth wide open.

After a while, she suddenly asked: "Isn't the big house facing the street at the entrance of the alley the house of Mr. Li's wife?"

Pei Sanniang said lightly: "Oh, Mr. Li just moved out today, and now it belongs to you. Don't worry, Xiaoxuan, this is a private gift from the slave family. It is not malicious... By the way, I almost forgot the deed."

She suddenly patted her forehead and smiled helplessly:

"I'm here in a hurry. The house deed is still in the big house and I have to ask you to sign it. Just in time, let's go there later and take a look at what's missing in the new house. We can tell you on the spot that the slave family will buy everything properly. I guarantee you both.

It was a comfortable stay.”

The father and daughter of the Huang family were a little confused when a pie fell from the sky. They looked at each other frequently, but they did not move immediately.

I wanted to be alert to see if there was a scam, but when I looked around at my dilapidated yard, I was suddenly brought back to reality.

The family has only four walls. They and this courtyard combined may not be as valuable as the purple and gold silk on the arm of the noble lady in front of them. The furnishings of the carriage and four BMWs at the door may even buy half of the street here.

.

This kind of lady dressed as a wealthy businessman makes money every breath, and spends her free time defrauding their poor father and daughter?

Unless there is some astonishing profit ratio, they would be trading at a loss, and they would not be able to repay it by working as cows and horses for eight lifetimes... And cows and horses are the most indispensable things in this world.

Huang Feihong's head shook like a rattle:

"It's too valuable. It's too valuable. Xiaoxuan and I can't accept it. This favor is too big. Even if you sell it, I can't afford to pay it back..."

"Brother Huang, please correct me. This is not a favor. Both the slave family and Landlord Chen are private gifts, not sales. Tomorrow, we can ask the government notary to come and transfer the property rights and house deeds. It is fair and aboveboard, with complete procedures and no tricks.

"Besides, the slave family is not talented. He is a Yangzhou businessman. Brother Huang can go out and find out. We are doing business. We always keep our promises sincerely and never break the contract."

Speaking of credibility, Pei Shisanniang's smile subsided, and she looked serious, not like she was joking.

Huang Feihong became increasingly uneasy and asked in a doubtful tone:

"It's so good, Mrs. Pei, why did Mr. Chen give us these things? This, this doesn't make sense, what are you trying to do?"

Huang Xuan also suddenly said: "What do you want... I don't have anything in my house, nothing you like... I don't have the luck to change houses with my wife, so please come back."

Landlord Chen glanced sideways at Pei Shisanniang.

Huang Feihong also stared at her.

Pei Shisanniang did not look at these two people, but looked at Huang Xuan with a smile. Although she was a little surprised by her reaction and words of rejection, she still continued:

"The servants don't ask for anything, they do good deeds and accumulate virtue, so why do they need so much?

"Well, when merchants make money, they should give back some to the poor people. This is business ethics, and it is also in line with the yin and yang of the world. There is no need for a reason. However... the slave family can realize this sense of responsibility because they are actually inspired by the nobles and saints today.

Enlightenment can be regarded as a reflection of wisdom."

She looked very emotional.

Landlady Chen nodded immediately: "Me too, me too."

Huang Feihong was confused: "Nobles and saints, what do you mean?"

Huang Xuan responded: "Do you know that noble man in the evening?"

Pei Shisanniang smiled and nodded.

Huang Feihong looked around in confusion and asked: "That noble man in the evening? What are you talking about, Xiaoxuan, what happened in the evening?"

Pei Shisanniang didn't answer.

Huang Xuan lowered her eyelashes and looked at the wound on her palm.

Huang Feihong's eyes also followed and landed on her wound...

After a while, after his daughter asked about the twists and turns in the evening, the bearded man blushed and gritted his teeth:

"Those bastards and beasts at Hanlei Ink Studio! They really piss me off. Xiaoxuan, I told you not to go there a long time ago. It's not worth it for the scraps of ink. You really want to write and make leaves, so maybe buy some more."

Cheap ink ingots...you refused to listen and went there every day. I knew those ink shop stewards were not good people the first time I saw them, and they made me angry. Don't let me catch them next time!"

Huang Xuan turned a deaf ear and asked Pei Sanniang again: "So the noble asked you to come, and you still want to help my family?"

Pei Sanniang's eyes flickered slightly, unable to comment:

"Absolutely. The slave family does know the noble person who will help you. I came here this time to learn from him."

Huang Xuan was silent and touched a certain money bag.

"Actually, this time the house is not given away completely free of charge. Well... I have a small thing to ask for, it's just a little effort, and it's something that is good for that noble person... Do you understand what I mean?"

"What's going on?" Huang Feihong was curious.

"The way to make a good name for a noble person is to go out for a meal, thank the noble person in person, and help him make a name for himself. This way you can repay his kindness and you don't have to feel too guilty."

Pei Shisanniang spoke kindly, bent down, handed the key to Huang Xuan's hand, and touched her head at the same time.

This time, Huang Xuan did not hide away, but raised her head when she stroked her head and confirmed again:

"Tell me first, how can I help? Can you really help this noble person?" He was a little worried and wary.

"Of course, think about it, helping your poor little girl out of trouble is a good deed. If you publicize it, it will do no harm. Anyway, when you come out, you must say good things about him in public. It can't be bad words, right?

?

"It's not a scandal, it's a good deed. Doing good deeds shouldn't be unknown, don't you think?

"Let's do this. If you find out that what the slave family said is false, you can leave at any time. Don't worry, the house given by the slave family will not be taken back..."

When Pei Shisanniang said this with a smile, the conversation suddenly changed:

"It's too late. It's cold standing here in the yard. Let's go to the new house at the entrance of the alley to chat, and you can take a look at the house."

The Huang family father and daughter hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

When they arrived at their new home, the Huang family's father and daughter felt as if they had entered the Grand View Garden, touching everywhere with hopeful eyes and unconcealable joy.

This feeling is like a poor man suddenly owning a big villa, which is a bit dreamy.

Pei Shisanniang suddenly asked: "Xiaoxuan, do you know who the young man wearing a felt hat buying red leaves is?"

Huang Xuan was stunned: "Isn't he the slave of that noble lady? Isn't that noble lady Xie, and the palace."

"You, you, are so cute."

Pei Sanniang shook her head and chuckled: "The slave family doesn't know whether the noble daughter of the Xie family likes your red leaves, but the one who came forward to buy the red leaves is Ouyang Lianghan, the governor of Jiangxi. He is your real nobleman."

The little girl in the red coat was dumbfounded.
