Chapter 181: Promoting the Weaving Prince

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's expression, he was extremely happy with this cricket, so he brought the box closer and said in a low voice: "Dissatisfied with the prince, this cricket is called the big coffin head cricket, it is a Ningjin cricket, and the slave specially found it for the prince?" β€œ

There are many types of crickets in Ningjin. Due to the unique geographical conditions and unique environmental microclimate, the "fighting cricket" produced in the original Youji Township, Mengji Township, Baodian Township, Ningjin Town, Ningjin Town, and Duji Township and Changwa Township is the best. In particular, the "fighting crickets" produced in the area of Chenzhuang in the original Youji Township are the best.

Ningjin crickets are brave and good at fighting, reputation Jiuzhou, it is said that the merry emperor Song Huizong loved to play crickets, was captured by the Jin soldiers, escorted to the Jin country, passing through Ningjin, Shandong, suddenly the luggage with him was scattered, a small basin fell from the car, and a cricket popped out of it. Song Huizong saw this love insect, missed his homeland, couldn't help but feel sad, weeping and saying to the cricket, you go, eight hundred years later, you will dominate China, after which Ningjin cricket is famous for its big size, strong temperament, strong bounce power, good fighting, and fierceness.

Zhu Zhanji also raised a Ningjin cricket in his study, tenacious fighting, endurance, fierceness, and the fierceness of biting to death was very popular with him.

After a little hesitation, he shouted: "Go to the lonely study, bring the lonely black-headed general, and fight hard today!" β€œ

A little eunuch responded, flew away, and after a while, he brought a box and handed it to Zhu Zhanji breathlessly.

This black-headed general is a year ago, a man named Jia Daling in Jinling, a man named Geng Laofu in order to find a "fighting cricket" for the palace, visited the people to Ningjin County, lived in Zhao Tieguo Village, Youji Township, and spent a lot of effort to find this good cricket that can both sing and fight, in the city of Nanjing, large and small battles have been fought dozens of times, without a defeat, Zhu Zhanji was named a black-headed general, on weekdays, with a hedge on the broken joint insects, and then with flat insects, together with drying and feeding, Then use ginger juice strong tea with copper kettle soaked in the copper pot for three days as a drink, day by day to recuperate, now almost half a month has not come out to fight, it is the most vigorous fighting spirit.

Zhu Zhanji asked people to open the lid of the box, Wang Zhen took advantage of Zhu Zhanji's inattention, squinted his eyes, and saw that the black-headed general in the box was extremely tall and had a dark complexion, knowing that this was a kind of long round head, the star gate and the head were convex forward, just like the old birthday star and the named cricket, very powerful! Ancient books on this kind of cricket power, there are many records, it is said that there is a black-headed general, the head of the square defeated a strong enemy, is flapping his wings, to sing proudly. Suddenly, a golden rooster heard the sound and pecked it suddenly. The black-headed general is alert and jumps out of the ruler. The chicken chased again, and saw that the black-headed general was already under his paws. The present is sweaty, and the search is fruitless. But seeing that the golden rooster stretched out his neck and shook his crown, clucking, and couldn't help himself, he saw that the black-headed general had jumped on the cockscomb, and he couldn't let go of it, forcing the golden rooster to lose.

Although he did not believe that crickets could defeat roosters, he had been in the palace for many days, and he had heard a little about Zhu Zhanji's black-headed general.

Zhu Zhanji is very fond of the black-headed general, opened the lid of the box and stroked it for a while, then turned around and walked to the study, in the study, the little eunuch had already prepared a delicate Jingdezhen small jar, Zhu Zhanji stroked it with his fingers for a while, and then put the black-headed general in the jar first, the black-headed general was very large, the pitch-black complexion was black and shiny, and it was very powerful at a glance. Extremely powerful, two long black beards swayed up and down, raising their heads from time to time and looking around, as if waiting for their opponents to come in and duel with them.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't wait, and kept urging Wang Zhendao: "Hurry, hurry, hurry up and put down your coffin cricket and fight with the lonely black-headed general?" β€œ

Since Wang Zhen saw Zhu Zhanji's black-headed general, he knew that his coffin cricket was more auspicious than lucky, but the prince spoke, how dare he not listen, and besides, he didn't play with the prince, coaxed the prince to be happy, and he could lose his own benefits, although this coffin head cricket is a rare boutique, but it is not a bug, and the huge Ningjin can not find another one! ”

After some consideration, Wang Zhen stepped forward and carefully put his coffin crickets into the small flower pot, so that the cricket fighting began.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Fighting crickets are also known as "autumn xing", "fighting to promote weaving", and "fighting crickets". The play of fighting crickets originated in the Tang Dynasty, according to the fifth generation of Wang Renyu's "Kaiyuan Tianbao Legacy". There is an article in the book "Golden Cricket": "Every autumn, the women and concubines in the palace catch crickets with small golden cages, close them in cages, put them by the pillow, and listen to their voices at night." The common people's homes are all effective. In the process of playing and appreciating crickets, people finally found that the two-tailed crickets (that is, the males) have aggressive characteristics, so they took the lead in the palace ban to rise up the game of fighting crickets, since then, this kind of game has been passed down, to the Southern Song Dynasty, fighting crickets have not been limited to the Beijing Division, nor limited to the aristocracy. The citizens, even the monks and nuns, are also very fond of this play.

The people in the capital, in July and August, every family raises and promotes weaving (that is, crickets).

As long as you walk in the market, you can see pedestrians on the road carrying clay pots and crickets, and at that time, men, women and children were happy to fight crickets.

The most famous is the cricket prime minister Jia Yidao, who is very fond of this way, often squatting on the ground with his concubines, fighting crickets to entertain guests, and stipulating that no one is allowed to disturb when fighting crickets, because this is a "military matter". It is precisely because he is too obsessed with this way and misses state affairs, so he is nicknamed "the cricket prime minister" by later generations.

At this time, as soon as Wang Zhen's coffin cricket was put into the jar, the black-headed general immediately ran over, and the two strong and powerful retreats kicked slightly, and their bodies jumped up, and their movements were amazing.

The black-headed general aimed at Wang Zhen's coffin cricket, pounced over, and the two crickets immediately pinched together, the black-headed general relied on his dexterity and strong hind legs, held down the coffin cricket, opened his bloody mouth, and bit the other party's chin to push forward, the coffin head cricket is also a fine cricket, and the strength is not small, and there is no retreat at all. Two crickets were in small flower pots, biting each other.

Zhu Zhanji was extremely excited, and kept shouting on the side, at this time he was still the crown prince of the Ming Empire, and his excited appearance was no different from some gamblers in the market.

Wang Zhenzhi didn't care about the duel between these two crickets, he was not good at this, but in order to please the prince, he had to make a happy appearance, besides, no matter how powerful his crickets were, how could he win the prince? So this win or defeat, he doesn't care anymore, what he cares about is whether the prince is happy or not, as long as the prince is happy, his benefits will not be less, once happy is not enough, so what about ten times, a hundred times? Hey heyβ€”β€”? β€œ

The two crickets fought for a while, and suddenly Zhu Zhanji's black-headed general didn't move, lying there motionless, letting the other party's crickets bully and bite.

Zhu Zhanji was very anxious in his heart, this black-headed general is his favorite one among all his crickets, brave and aggressive, and has never been defeated, so he attaches great importance to this cricket.

Wang Zhen on the side was also very anxious, if he won the prince, the prince might not say anything, but the displeasure in his heart must be there, in this way, wouldn't he have a pimple for himself, and wouldn't his future beβ€”β€”"

Thinking of this, he was resentful of the cricket in his coffin, if Zhu Zhanji hadn't been here, he would have stepped forward and slapped him to death.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the study, but Zhu Zhanji, Wang Zhen and others were really fighting crickets, and no one noticed a person walking over.

The man was about forty years old, tall, with fine skin and white flesh, clear eyebrows and fine eyes, quite a bit of a woman's taste, but when the eyes were flickering, the light flashed, revealing a bit of courage and fortitude, he lightly handsome the Buddha dust in his hand, stepped forward, his eyes quickly swept in the jar, and then quietly took out a small stick from the coffee table, handed it to Zhu Zhanji, and said softly: "I think this black-headed general is disdainful of opponents, the prince might as well use the stick to provoke a few times, pick out his fierceness and try?" β€œ

Zhu Zhanji laughed and said: "Yes, how did I forget this, in the section of "Fighting", there is a saying of "promoting weaving and three difficulties". Those who are reluctant are not in accordance with normal feelings. The three dilemmas are: "Winning is not called losing, one is also; Female on male back, two also; Over the lizard powerful, three also. "The worm, that is, the seminal vesicles. Overly, hypertrophy of seminal vesicles. Haha, isn't that the black-headed general Lonely?

Zhu Zhanji was reminded by the eunuch, hurriedly took the small stick, leaned over, and provoked his black-headed general.

Wang Zhen on the side quietly glanced at the eunuch opposite, although he came to the palace for a short time, he also knew that there were two eunuchs favored by the prince, one was Chen Wu, and the other was the eunuch named Jin Ying in front of him.

Chen Wu is Zhu Zhanji's personal eunuch, and he has followed him since he was a child, and this friendship is incomparable to others, so he is very trusted by Zhu Zhanji.
