As Wen Wenren said, if you have the strength, you can gain a foothold in the Xuantian Department.

boom!

Just as he was thinking, suddenly there was a dull pain in his head.

Immediately afterwards, a rough short stick 'Kang Dang' fell to the ground, and it rolled several times before stopping in front of a step.

"Fuck! Who the hell is throwing things around!"

Chen Mu protected his head and took several steps back.

At the same time, there was a scream from upstairs.

Chen Mu raised his head subconsciously, and what caught his eyes was a charming cheek with bright eyes and white teeth, and his face was full of shock at the moment.

The woman supported the window sash with one hand, and covered her lips with the other jade hand.

Judging from the look of astonishment, surprise and shame, it should be that he accidentally dropped the short stick while supporting the window sash.

As a result, it accidentally hit Chen Mu who was walking on the street.

Before Chen Mu came to his senses, the woman hurried downstairs, ran out of the room with her skirt in hand, and apologized to Chen Mu.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean it, I'm sorry..."

The woman in front of her was only about twenty.

She has a delicate face, a pair of thin teary eyes are very graceful, and her slender figure is quite plump under a pink dress.

Even Chen Mu, who was used to seeing his wife's beauty, couldn't help being amazed.

"I'm sorry, sir, I slipped my hand just now and accidentally hit the master, I'm really sorry..."

The woman clutched her dress tightly, her fingers turning white.

This nervous and pitiful appearance added a bit of frail charm, inviting pity.

"fine."

Seeing the sincerity of the other party's apology, Chen Mu also lost his temper.

Pick up the short stick and pass it to the opponent.

"Be careful in the future. It's okay to hit a young man like me, but it will be troublesome if you hit a flower, a grass, an old man or a child."

"What the official taught me is that the servants will pay attention to it in the future."

The woman's pretty face flushed, and she took the short stick.

When receiving the short stick, the woman's arm that bullied Shuang Saixue slipped out of her sleeve, and several scars landed in Chen Mu's eyes.

It appears to have been whipped with a rope.

The woman apologized a few more times, buried her head in the room, and closed the door tightly.

Domestic violence?

Chen Mu stared at the closed door, frowning slightly.

"Master Chen?"

Suddenly there was a voice behind him.

Chen Mu turned around, but saw an old woman sitting at the door of the opposite teahouse, staring at him with a smile.

The old woman is about half a hundred years old, with a slightly stooped figure.

The shriveled face is covered with spider lines, and the mottled gray hair on the top of the head is relatively sparse, but the spirit is quite hale and hearty.

Especially those eyes, especially bright.

"you know me?"

Chen Mu looked at the old woman who seemed a little strange.

The old woman chuckled: "Last night at the Xingchun Building, I saw Lord Leng drinking with you guys, so I went over to say hello. At that time, Lord Leng specially introduced you to me, did you forget?"

"You are...that...that..."

When the other party said this, Chen Mu remembered that there was indeed an old woman who came to the wine table last night, and Leng Tianying also introduced her.

"You seem to be called Wang Po, right?"

Chen Mu knocked on his head for a long time, and finally remembered.

This old woman called 'Wang Po' has been in the neighborhood for some years.

Not only runs a time-honored teahouse, but also works as a 'matchmaker' and 'midwife', and is quite famous.

She also delivered Leng Tianying when she was born, so they knew each other.

Leng Tianying mentioned this at the wine table last night.

"Master Chen has a pretty good memory, old lady, my surname is indeed 'Wang'."

"I'm sorry, I got a little confused after drinking last night, so I didn't recognize your old man for a while."

Chen Mu cupped his hands and apologized.

Being able to have a good relationship with Leng Tianying shows that this old woman's reputation is indeed very high, and she may still have contact with her in the future.

"Is this your teahouse?"

Chen Mu looked at the shop behind the old woman and asked.

Wang Po smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's my wife's. If Mr. Chen is free, he often comes to sit."

"sure."

Chen Mu readily agreed.

The two chatted casually for a few more words, and Chen Mu was about to leave, but before leaving, he was curious and couldn't help asking:

"Wang Po, who was that woman just now?"

"She, her name is Yinlian." Wang Po smiled and said, "It's Hong Dalang's new wife."

Hong Dalang?
