Everyone who has just arrived in Dabeitiangou will be amazed by the beautiful scenery in front of them, and Shi Chongren is no exception.

A five-room courtyard costs a hundred taels of silver a day, not including meals, there are about more than 200 such courtyards in Xiangxueju, and if it is full, you can receive 20,000 taels a day. Sitting on the second floor of Qixian Building, looking out the window at the "clouds", a breeze blows, the petal rain falls, and the air is filled with the sweet fragrance of flowers, which is the scene of the world.

There are more than 20 restaurants with northern and southern tastes in Xiangxueju, this Qixian Lou is naturally a branch of Qixian Lou in Huiye Prefecture, the chef in the store is sent from the main store every month, and the craftsmanship is definitely the same as the main store, and the one hundred and eight patterns of crisp white bi are a gimmick everywhere, Shi Chongren ordered six of them in one go.

Yan Shengsen looked at the table full of delicacies and sighed: "I've been to Xiangxueju, even if I've seen all the eating, drinking and fun in this world, it's just that the price is too expensive, I can't live here for a few days without eating or drinking." ”

Shi Chongren glanced at Yan Shengsen and said, "Don't talk about you, even I can't afford to live here." Looking at the crowd of people dressed in brocade shirts and with different faces around him, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "There are so many rich people in Huazhou, compared to these people, I am a poor person." ”

Picked up a cup of residual wine and drank it all, the golden jade liquid was hot in the mouth, Shi Chongren choked and coughed, Yan Shengsen smiled: "Brother Ren, you still drink fruit bar, this wine is too strong and not suitable for you." Ah Ming, go and help Brother Ren choose a few more kinds of fruit wine, after drinking the golden jade liquid, it is not bad to rinse your mouth with fruit wine. ”

Shi Chongren scolded with a smile: "It's clear that you want to drink it and rely on me, no, the money is not enough, don't want it." ”

There were two men in brocade clothes sitting at the side table, one of them stood up, brought two bottles of fruit wine over, and smiled at Shi Chongren: "In Xia Xu Chong, I heard my brother ask for fruit wine just now, and it just so happens that there are two more bottles at my table. ”

This Xu Chong is about forty years old, obese, ruddy face, fat head and big ears with slender eyebrows, gorgeous clothes on his body, jasper rings on his fingers, and beautiful jade hanging around his waist, like a businessman. Nothing to offer courtesy, either treachery or theft, Xiangxueju is mixed, pit abduction and robbery often occur, Shi Chongren laughed secretly in his heart, this Xu Chong Bacheng regarded himself as a fat sheep, idle and boring, it was good to play a trick, immediately got up and returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Thank you Brother Xu, meeting is fate, sit together." ”

Yan Shengsen didn't bother to raise his eyelids, if this Xu Chong had a bad heart, the word dead would be written on his forehead first. This Lord Luo loves to play, and he is enough to toss along the way, so it's good for him to toss and toss others.

Xu Chong put down the wine and said with a smile: "Xu has finished eating, so I won't talk about it too much and say goodbye." After speaking, he returned to his table, laughed with a few people at the table, got up to pay the bill, and left.

Looking at the two bottles of fruit wine on the table, one red and one green, Shi Chongren smiled: "This is really a good intention, I left after saying a word, hehe, it's very interesting." Brother Yan, do you think there are drugs in the wine, which will fascinate us and kill us for money. ”

Shi Kang said with a smile: "Look at what the master said, who dares to take drugs in this public, you must know that there are four hundred soldiers stationed outside Xiangxue's residence, who dares to make a mistake in the open." ”

Shi Chongren stroked his smooth chin and said: "If you want to catch the past, I can't imagine that the liars in Huazhou are all strategic, it's very interesting, this trip is really not in vain." Open the wine, and don't drink the wine that doesn't want money. ”

The pavilions and pavilions of Xiangxueju are mostly connected by a long corridor, and the wooden walkway is flat and comfortable, which is Jiang Anyi's proposal, Xiangxueju should protect the beautiful scenery, and it is strictly forbidden for visitors to destroy, even the grass is not allowed to be trampled on. Guo Huaili's proposal to Jiang Anyi has always been strictly followed, and 100 people have been specially hired to pick up garbage, prevent tourists from climbing flowers and trees, trampling on grassland, and not allowing cattle and sheep to graze. In recent years, the number of tourists received by Xiangxueju has increased, but the beautiful scenery has not been affected, Guo Huaili sighed privately, it is a pity that Xiao Jiang does not do business, otherwise it is a proper Tao Zhugong.

Xiangxueju's practice was ridiculed by the nearby villagers at first, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and the pasture grass in Dabeitiangou is fat, and it is simply a waste of money not to graze cattle and sheep. But after two years, the comparison came out, those who were gnawed by cattle and sheep like dysentery came to the place, and the income from grazing cattle and sheep was not as good as the income of the upstreamers, not to mention the land price, the money taught the villagers how to do it, and the area around Xiangxueju became green and grassy, and the scenery was picturesque, and the original scenery could also be sold for money.

Xu Chong and the others left Qixian Tower and walked towards the pavilion in a secluded place, and a thin man said: "Third child, you can see it, that young man is a fat sheep, don't steal chickens and rice like last time, if I hadn't asked someone to find Captain Chen to be accommodating, you would still be locked up in prison now." ”

"Second brother, although my tricks are small, I can see people very accurately." Xu Chong's slender eyes flashed, and he said: "The clothes on that young man's body seem ordinary, but if you look closely, the stitches are tight, the cut is decent, and the fabric is shining with dark patterns, it is a Huanhua brocade from Duanzhou." ”

Several people's eyes are bright, Huanhua brocade is a famous cloth, a foot of cloth one or two silver, and the output is limited, it is an offering in the palace, there are not many people who flow in the folk, and the people who can wear Huanhua brocade are either rich or expensive.

The cold-faced man on the left side said: "This kid can wear Huanhua brocade, the back of the family should be good, I think several guards around him are masters, we can't act rashly, it's not easy to clean up the hornet's nest." Let's make a decision after asking the eldest brother. ”

The boss is a kind half-old man, holding a folding fan to enjoy the scenery by the railing, two Tsing Yi entourages behind him stand with their hands down, and there are a few melons and fruits on the stone table in the pavilion, which is clearly the old man of the rich and noble. Xu Chong and a few people entered the pavilion, the second brother stood beside the boss and told him what happened, the boss sighed for a moment and said: "How can we eat this bowl of rice without taking risks, since the third child has seen the fat sheep, let the fifth and sixth children touch the situation again, do the work on the bright side, let the fat sheep eat a dumb loss, if the situation is not good, at most we will go to the Western Regions to hide for a few months." ”

In the evening, the fifth and sixth children touched the situation, it was a son-in-law brother in Duanzhou, there was a five-grade official in the family, I heard that the name of Xiang Xuehai came to play, and he brought four guards and two relatives with him, and lived in a small courtyard in the southern district.

The third child, He Shouqi (pseudonym Xu Chong), said with a smile: "How, the fat sheep from afar is the most delicious, and this deal can't be missed." A few of them did their own thing, and went out to do their own thing.

There are six big casinos in Xiangxueju, in addition to the Xingyi Fang where Tian Shaoqiu sits, there are also Jinyufang (Yang's family), Hele Fang (Ning's family), Jade Fang (Cui's family), Qianjinfang (Feng Zhong), and Zhidefang (Han's family). With the death of Yang Xiangliang's father and son, Feng Zhongqi guarded the mausoleum, the Han family defected to the Great Qi Kingdom in the Western Regions, and Jinyufang, Qianjinfang and Zhidefang did not change their signboards and changed the owner, which cannot help but make people sigh that the world is like chess.

Shi Chongren went to Jinyufang in the afternoon and tried a few tricks, and the newcomer actually won more than five taels of silver. Coming out of the casino, Shi Chongren said with a smile: "It's really hard to bet on this thing, two hours have passed in a blink of an eye, if I wasn't hungry, I would have wanted to win a few more." Alas, it is said that there is no winner in long-term gambling, but there are a few people who can hold back in the casino. ”

Checking the money bag in his hand, Shi Chongren said with a smile: "Good luck, I'll take you to Zuihualou after eating." ”

Shi Ming said with a bitter face: "Master, when you go out, the old lady can explain, if you dare to go to those fireworks places, and you will break my and Shi Kang's legs when you go back, you can spare the little one for the sake of our dedication to you." ”

Shi Chongren is nineteen years old, and it has been agreed that the princess Lin is the daughter of the Yihu Lin family, and she is the niece of Lin Yizhen. Concubine Liu was afraid that her son would spend all day drinking outside, and it would not be good for it to reach the ears of the Lin family in Yihu, Lingzhou, and the marriage that had been postponed for a year could not be changed.

The wooden road was about a foot wide, and the crowd was continuous, and a person suddenly burst out of the oblique thorn, snatching the money bag from Shi Chongren's hand and running out. Yan Shengsen shouted angrily, "What a gut", raised his leg and kicked the man's back. The man had good hands, his body was short, his movements were very agile, he jumped three times and jumped twice, and he drilled into crowded places, and the rows on the road dodged to both sides, and there was chaos on the wooden road.

Yan Shengsen's face flushed, as the guard beside the prince, he actually let a thief snatch the money from the prince's hand, where is the face. With the strength of his toes, his body shot up like an arrow, and he didn't care about the pedestrians on both sides, and pounced straight at the thief. Ten zhang away, Yan Shengsen caught up with the thief, raised his leg and kicked the thief's buttocks.

With a "sigh", the thief was kicked more than a foot away, rolled off the wooden path, and fell on the grass. Yan Shengsen rushed over, stepped on the thief's back with his foot, and shouted, "Don't hand over the money yet." ”

The thief landed on the mowed grass, unwound except for the pain in his buttocks, and struggled and cried, "Who are you, and why did you hit people for no reason?" Express Patrol Division. ”

Yan Shengsen smiled and said, "The thief bites into the bone for three points, you have to report to the Patrol Division first." He picked up the thief and searched him for the money bag. Shi Chongren's money bag was purple with embroidered flowers, which was given by one of his concubines, but after looking for it from beginning to end, there was no trace of the money bag.

Seeing the lively people in a circle, the thief shouted Qu Qiang, pulled Yan Shengsen's clothes, and said: "I'll walk down the aisle, how can you accuse me of being a thief, don't go, let's go to the patrol department to fight a lawsuit." ”

Shi Chongren's eyes swept towards the crowd watching the bustle, no need to ask this thief who made a move just now and handed over the money bag to his accomplice, there was a bustle to see more and more people gathering, and it was almost impossible to find his accomplice. The crowd talked a lot, but most people were used to this trick, and some people advised Yan Shengsen to forget it, take the thief and take the stolen goods, and even if he got to the patrol department without the stolen goods, he couldn't win the lawsuit.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted, "Something is on this man, and I see that the thief has stuffed something into him." ”

The crowd looked towards the place where the voice came from, Shi Chongren smiled when he saw the person who shouted, and Xu Chong appeared.
