The billiards hall is not far from the stone temple, and after several expansions, the scale is already considerable.

The billiards hall is divided into an outer room and an inner room, the so-called outer room, that is, the tables are lined up in the hall, and now the business is booming and overcrowded.

So much so that Ge Sibao was outdoors, simply erecting a shed and setting up a table, and some people rushed to play.

Most of the guests outside are locals, mostly small merchants and hawkers, small bosses, small shopkeepers, and so on.

There are many people outside, there is a lot of news, playing ball is just a reason, many people are making a special trip to inquire about the market, manage contacts, and even in Chenguang, where they are playing, they will finalize the business, and there are not a few.

The inner room, that is, the private room, is elegantly furnished, and tea and snacks are also provided, and there are special people to wait, and the guests are mostly outsiders, including many wealthy businessmen.

The billiards hall also gave birth to a new profession, full-time coaches and sparring partners, collectively known as 'ball boys', and the ball boys are mostly the children of homeless people.

After all, billiards is a new thing, outsiders have never seen it before they come to Shenjiabao, and if they want to get started quickly, they will inevitably invite a caddie to play against each other, pay a little silver taels, and you can improve your skills very quickly.

The more prosperous the billiards business, the more demand for caddies will be, and the children of homeless people will also benefit from it, which is also the result of Yang Bo's repeated instructions to Ge Sibao and his promotion openly and secretly.

Yang Bo and Shen Yiming often play ball, there is a ball table in the backyard of the stone temple hall, but it is very rare to come to the billiards hall, this time Yang Bo can come, for Ge Sibao, it is a rare opportunity to perform, therefore, he waited at the door early in the morning.

"Childe, little grandfather.." Ge Sibao smiled all over his face, bowed down from afar, and welcomed Yang Bo and the others into the hall.

"Childe, I'm just a big old man, I said the wrong thing, you have a lot of old people, just think I'm a fart, let it go, don't you hit it? You are my Shangguan, I am your soldier, you threw me in the billiards hall, I am looking forward to it here day by day, month by month, autumn water is looking through, why don't you see Gongzi You come to see me? ”

Ge Sibao looked very aggrieved, chattering endlessly, talking, and wiping his tears.

I'm afraid that the sycophant is too explicit, and he pays attention to moisturizing things silently, so the effect is good, but this kid doesn't care about it, which makes Yang Bo sigh, maybe this is the highest level of sycophancy.

No, even his daughter-in-law is a little disgusted.

"Okay, Ge Sibao, don't be numb." Liu Wu handed over a roll of his eyes and said disdainfully: "You are long out of the musket battalion, what kind of soldier are you?" ”

"The old man speaks, your woman and the Taoist family don't intervene, if I weren't for the son's soldiers, I would know you as the elder." Ge Sibao kicked his eyes and said proudly: "I am a son in life, and I am a ghost in death, I don't accept you to bite me?" ”

Life is like a play, and drama is like life.

This fool was born to be a good play.

But then again, thousands of clothes are worn, and sycophants are not worn.

It's hard for people to make a sycophant, if you want to expose it, it will not be kind to be a man like that, Yang Bo simply accepted it, held back Ge Sibao's glance, and chuckled: "Ge Sibao, you did a good job in the billiards hall, do a good job, next summer, the Huangzhuang over there in the maple forest, I also plan to hand it over to you to take care of, don't let me down." ”

"Hey, did you see it, I said early in the morning, Gongzi is the nobleman of my Ge Sibao, yes or no?" Ge Sibao looked around, his expression was quite embarrassed, and he gave Yang Bo a deep salute and said, "Childe, you are not only my nobleman, you are my reborn parents, reborn parents." ”

"Shameless." Ge Sibao was not ashamed, but he annoyed Pu Peiyao, and Pu Peiyao almost kicked people, and reprimanded: "How old is Yang Bo this year?" is not yet seventeen years old, and his relatives have not been completed, where can you be such an old son. ”

"Miss Pu, you are as beautiful as a fairy, your character is good, Hui Zhilanxin, in the future, you must be a virtuous and virtuous lady, my uncle is happy to you, in the future, don't forget your uncle." Ge Sibao didn't care, and instead complimented Pu Peiyao.

"You.. That is, still for you? Pu Peiyao suddenly lost her temper, rolled her eyes, and said: "It is said that you have earned a lot of silver in the billiards hall, has your little concubine come back?" ”

Pu Peiyao is poisonous enough, which pot is not opened.

"This.." Ge Sibao really panicked, and said urgently: "Childe, I didn't know that there was that turtle belly, if I had known earlier, I would have killed me, and I wouldn't have dared to think about it." ”

Yang Bo looked at Ge Sibao with a black line on his face, there was no good color, but there was no squeak.

It's better to say less about this, don't get the stone temple chickens flying and dogs jumping.

But Yang Bo's eyes, in Ge Sibao's view, were not lightly warned, Ge Sibao secretly warned himself that the idea of taking a concubine would be dispelled, and Yang Bo could not afford to offend.

While speaking, everyone had already arrived in the inner room, and Ge Sibao arranged the best private room for them, with a table in the middle, a coffee table around it, and a couch on the inner wall.

On the coffee table, all kinds of melons and fruits snacks, on the coffee table in front of the couch, there is a burning stove, and a small maid is making tea.

Shen Yiming and Xu Wenjue are the two of them are the most addicted to football, and their skills are also the best, and they have already started playing.

Xu Wenjue kicked off the ball with the first shot, Shen Yiming continued to play, his ball skills were really good, he played five or six shots in a row, and he didn't mean to stop.

Xu Wenjue carried the club, walked up to Yang Bo, and suddenly said: "Third brother, I took a few concubines, but that was before I came to Shenjiabao, this doesn't violate your turtle belly, right?" ”

Before Yang Bo could speak, Ge Sibao hurriedly said: "Little grandfather, you are not from the stone temple, and the child's turtle belly can't control you." ”

"Ge Sibao, don't talk nonsense, who said I wasn't.." Xu Wenjue was furious now, and halfway through speaking, he suddenly woke up, he was the prince of Wei State, and he was not a person from the Stone Temple, thinking of this, Xu Wenjue was depressed in his heart, it stands to reason that he is Yang Bo's sworn brother, and he should also be regarded as a person from the Stone Temple.

A man should not have taken a concubine. ’

This is the sentence that Yang Bo blurted out in the backyard of the stone temple earlier, and I don't know who passed it out, one passed ten, ten spread hundreds, and stayed in the ears of the person concerned, it was completely out of shape, and it became 'Yang Bo does not allow the people under the stone temple to take concubines'.

This is a rumor, and it simply doesn't make sense.

Bitter also.

Yang Bo didn't want to pay attention to it, but if he let this rumor spread, it would eventually become like that, which was unpredictable.

"Wenjue, all the turtle belly in the stone temple are black on a white background, clear, I will tell you seriously now, the stone temple does not have the turtle belly you said." Yang Bo said that the gold is cut off.

"Yes, yes, no, of course I do." Xu Wenjue said repeatedly.

but in my heart I slandered.

Third brother, who are you blind, others don't know, don't I know about you? Xiang'er has cried several times about this, when I don't know?

Turtle belly without black on white? It's not that I don't have it, but I don't dare, if this turtle belly really comes out, even Shen Yanqing will have to make trouble with you, can you stand it?

In fact, there are too many women, and it is also a trouble.

The son has said, but the villain woman is difficult to raise.

Zi is not an ordinary person, he says so, so naturally he has his reasons.

Besides, now that Pei Yao has it, even if he gets tired of it one day, Lao Tzu will return to his old business and go to find a few little white faces, which is very comfortable.

Well, the next time I go back to Nanjing, won't I just have a few concubines, give each of them some silver, and leave them.

Xu Wenjue was playing ball, still thinking nonsense, if he didn't say it, Yang Bo naturally had no way of knowing.

"Huh?" Yang Bo watched the game on the sidelines, picked up a piece of dim sum from the fruit bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, the taste was familiar, and he couldn't help but pick up another piece and take a closer look.

It's a kind of sugar, very chewy, with pine nuts on the outside and peanut kernels on the inside, like kraft candy?

"Childe, this is kraft candy from Yangzhou, I also like to eat it, it tastes good, right?" Ge Sibao has been around Yang Bo all the time, and when he saw that Yang Bo was interested in kraft candy, he quickly explained.

Sure enough, it was kraft candy, but Yang Bo was interested in this peanut kernel.

Peanuts are an alien species, if he remembers correctly, it should have come from South America, and it had already spread to Daming at this time?

"This is a peanut kernel?" Yang Bo asked.

Ge Sibao was stunned for a moment and said: "This thing is called falling peanuts, the gnocchi in Shenjiabao are all salty, not long, there are many people on the Huangqiao side, isn't Xiang'er's family from Huangqiao?" Xiang'er, come here. ”

Xiang'er and Leshui, the two foodies, were about to go to the market at the foot of the West Mountain to buy delicious food, and when they saw Ge Sibao greeting them, they came over.

"Well, it's a human race." Xiang'er nodded, probably realizing that Yang Bo might have an idea, and added a few more words, saying: "There are many rivers in Huangqiao, there is sand everywhere, and the crop harvest is not good, but the growth of this falling flower is surprisingly good. After speaking, he tilted his head and stared at Yang Bo.

"It's a good thing, it can squeeze oil."

"Childe, Huangqiao is next to Meizhen, the people in Meizhen are rich now, but the people over there are poor, so you can't help them?"

"I'll try." Yang Bo nodded.

Yang Yipeng once said in Black Rock Cliff that Haizhou could be handed over to Yang Bo to operate, but that was a test for him, and Yang Bo also knew that it was impossible.

However, Huangqiao is a poor and remote country, with few people and a small place, so if you talk to Yang Yipeng, he shouldn't refuse.

"Senior brother, Xiang'er and I are going to the market, do you want to go?" Leshui asked.

The bazaar at the foot of the West Mountain is spontaneously formed by the displaced people, the displaced people come from all over the world, there are people from all over the world, Jiangbei Qifu, Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and even Shanxi, Shaanxi have come a lot recently, and also bring a variety of local snacks, including Shaanxi's meat sandwich bun, Yang Bo has eaten once, the taste is not bad.

"Remember to bring me two meat buns, I'm also greedy, remember to ask Xu Erjiang to bring some people to accompany you."

"Don't, Xu Erjiang's people are so fierce, they are scared away, it's boring." Leshui pursed his lips and was unhappy.

"Xu Erjiang, Xu Erjiang." Yang Bo shouted.

It's a matter of safety, Yang Bo can't let Leshui come by temperament, Xu Erjiang came over with a fart.

It's strange, there is a little girl behind him, Yang Bo has seen it in Yizhen Medical Hall, and the name is still given by him, is it Han Shuang, or Han Xue? Yang Bo forgot.

Yang Bo asked Xu Erjiang to personally bring a few people to escort Leshui and Xiang'er to the market, Xu Erjiang heard this, and his face was sad.

"Childe, I still want to protect your safety, I told others to go, can't I?"

"Nonsense, is Leshui and Xiang'er important, or am I important? You don't have a B number in mind. ”

Xu Erjiang looked stunned, where is this, his mouth moved and moved, but he couldn't speak.

"Are you Han Shuang, or Han Xue?" Yang Bo no longer paid attention to Xu Erjiang, turned to the little girl, and asked.

"It's Han Shuang." Xu Erjiang took over the conversation, stretched out his hand to hand over a piece of paper, and said, "Han Shuang said that the eldest lady brought it." ”

"Little aunt?" Yang Bo results on the paper, with a few words on it.

'See the word, come quickly, You Suqing. ’

Didn't You Suqing go to Nanjing?

What is the matter with her looking for me?

Mu Ying is also in Nanjing, You Suqing should have news of Mu Ying.

When Yang Bo was on Peach Blossom Island, he once wrote a letter to Mu Ying, but he has not seen Mu Ying reply, and I don't know how she is doing?

Intuition told him that You Suqing was looking for him this time, and it might have something to do with Mu Ying.

What happened to Mu Ying? Yang Bo felt faintly uneasy in his heart.
