Chapter 149: Vasher

Lu Weixin is also a child, the three of them walked along the street, he kept asking, "Where is this, where is that?" and asked, "Where are we going?"

Fang Yuntang said: "Let's go to Vashe, it's the most lively there." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Along the way, Yuntang is introducing to Guo Wenying, "The capital is very big, this road to the north is Mahang Street, where medicine is sold, to the south is Panlou Street, which specializes in selling birds and animals, and then to the east to sell women's fragrant powder and fat powder shops and silk shops, and jade shops are in the southwest, if you like it, you can go and see it for a while." ”

Seeing her nodding, Fang Yuntang continued: "The Washe near Xiangguo Temple is a good place to go, there are storytellers, singers, acrobatics, sumo wrestling, and there is also a Keju tournament there, and there are a lot of people in the competition. In addition, there is a jade shop that holds a competition every year, and the private ones are near the Washe, and the official ones have set up a special venue. ”

Fang Yuntang seems to be extremely familiar with the capital, and knows more than Lu Weixin and Guo Wenying, two people who are said to be natives of Kyoto. The two of them had never heard of such a good place, and they were very happy.

Fang Yuntang led the two of them all the way to the south, and after walking for a short time, they saw a street market, which extended from the outside of the tall palace gate, and was full of stalls on both sides, crowded one by one, and pedestrians were weaving. The sound of conversation, shouting, bargaining, high and low, long and short, mixed together, seems to be a patchwork of lively songs.

They came to Panlou Street, which is a street of birds and animals, and all birds and animals in the world can be found here.

After walking a short distance to the west, I saw a long shed on the side of the road, and the shed was full of people, and it was very lively to shout five and drink six.

Guo Wenying asked, "What is that?"

Fang Yuntang said: "That's the shed for fighting birds." ”

Lu Weixin was very interested, and walked in first, and the two followed behind. I saw that the sheds were very spacious, and there were guys delivering tea running in the crowd. On the other side of the road are vendors, there are also all kinds of birds, and there are cages for sale, the small cage is only the size of a palm, and the large cage is more than a meter good, and there are pavilions and pavilions in it, which look more comfortable than people live.

They went into a shed to see the fighting birds, Fang Yuntang has a starling, which is a specially raised fighting bird, named 'Little Eagle', but he didn't let 'Little Eagle' play today, and only took them to watch a quail fight.

A jade quail in the arena is quite conspicuous, with a long neck and short tail, pure as snow, just like a small crane. Very good at fighting, flying three or four feet tall, can accurately hit opponents when fighting. Its opponent was a white quail, and the black and white shadows in the field were quickly moving back and forth, twisting into a ball. The black quail was invincible, with dozens of wounds on its body, and its feathers were soaked with blood.

Seeing this, the owner of the black quail hurriedly stopped the game, carefully held it in his hand, and cried in distress.

It is rare for people and birds to have a good relationship like this, Guo Wenying looked curious, and couldn't help but look at your quail a few more times. Feng Jingting used to be very good at fighting birds, there was a fierce starling in his yard, she teased it last time, and was pecked hard, only then did she know that this fighting bird was so powerful.

Out of the fighting bird shed, further on, there are fighting crickets.

They entered one of the largest sheds, and the shouts in the shed shook the sky, and the fighting was fierce.

Guo Wenying is not tall, it is easy to squeeze in, only to see the two crickets in the bucket, one is a big man, blue and black, with a long body, and the other is slightly smaller, red gold, with a strong and flexible body.

The two crickets are fighting each other. The owners of the two crickets, one was shouting hoarsely, while the other had his lips closed, staring only at the basin and silent.

The onlookers all took out their money and bet on one of the two crickets.

Fang Yuntang didn't know when he squeezed in, and said with a smile: "Do you want to bet one? In my opinion, the red gold one will win." ”

Guo Wenying didn't expect him to understand this, and asked with a smile: "How do you know?"

"As the saying goes, white is not as good as black, black cloth is as red as red, red is not as good as gold, and the red gold cricket is a superlative, in my opinion, black can't beat it. He said that he had bet fifty taels, and the red gold cricket won.

Guo Wenying sighed secretly, she is really rich, she doesn't even have five copper plates on her.

After a game, the red gold cricket won, and he earned a hundred taels in just this moment. Fang Yuntang was happy, but Lu Weixin regretted not following him, and turned over his body, he still had two copper plates.

The owner of the black cricket hung his head and came out with a cricket can, holding a small bottle, and asked one by one in front of people. Walking in front of Guo Wenying, I heard him ask clearly, "This son, do you have a child's urine?"

Guo Wenying's face was slightly red, "What do you want this for?"

"Cure crickets, Childe doesn't know that child's urine is the best healing product. The man said that the bottle in his hand was already stuffed in her hand, "Childe will give me some reward." ”

She waved her hand, "I didn't." He couldn't throw the bottle in his hand, so he had to throw it to Lu Weixin in the back, "You get some for him." ”

Lu Weixin's face was slightly red, but he still went elsewhere to pick up a little bit and came back.

Fang Yuntang suddenly said: "How do you know that he is a child, I am not?"

Guo Wenying was surprised, "How is it possible?" Lu Weixin she knew, and how could he be a child?

Fang Yuntang touched his nose, he wasn't it in the first place, but she was angry that she valued Lu Weixin more. But who is to blame for this, he had a sex at the age of sixteen, and he has been surrounded by countless women over the years, and he is no longer a child.

Coming out of the Washe, I went to the Jade Street, where there are several carving masters, some carving walnuts, some carving jade, and some setting up a stall on the street, carving and selling.

Guo Wenying likes these gadgets, and after shopping for a while, she stood on the side of the road and watched a jade carving master holding a jade knife in his hand, and his fingers were flying up and down.

Fang Yuntang asked her, "Do you like it?"

She nodded, she is different from other women, and the woman next to her can marry a good husband is a lifelong dependence, but she has experienced too much, and she has been an official herself, so it is impossible to be a female celebrity in the Gaomen Mansion in the future, play tea art, and compete with her husband's wife and concubine for favor.

Even if she quit her job in the future, she hopes that some of them can support themselves for a living, or open a shop, or learn a trade, and she prefers this kind of fun in the market to life in the mansion.

Maybe she can be like the jade carver on this street, set up her own stall, carve some favorite gadgets, or make some children's small toys to sell, after all, she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking.

Fang Yuntang didn't know that she had such ambitions, thinking that she was interested in it for a while, and said that she would find a familiar jade carving master to teach her.

Guo Wenying smiled and thanked him, and the three of them walked around for a while, which was quite fun, and when they saw that it was not early, they all went home.
