When Wang Geng heard this, he became more interested in Wang Chen's method: "Then don't sell Guanzi, let your father hear it." ”

Wang Chen smiled: "Now that the Red Mansion is closed, there will be fewer places for people to entertain, which means that in the next period of time, people will think of ways to have fun." If our royal family holds a cricket fighting competition, it will definitely attract everyone's attention. Zhang Shumo and I have already discussed, as long as we find a good venue for holding a cricket fighting competition, there is basically no other cost, and we can enter a batch of crickets in advance, and we can make a fortune when the time comes! ”

After listening to this, Wang Geng pondered in his heart: In the past, Xu Liangcheng held the Oiran Competition, and the government could make a lot of money, so he must have made a profit by holding the Cricket Fighting Competition. The most important thing is that the timing is just right now, and this idea is probably not something that Chen'er can come up with.

Thinking of this, Wang Geng asked, "Zhang Shumo, is this what you think?" ”

"I thought about it with Wang Gongzi." Zhang Shumo is not greedy for merit, anyway, as long as he resists Wang Chen's kindness of 100 taels.

Wang Geng nodded: "Okay!" Chen'er, this method is very good, in that case, then we will hold a cricket fighting competition. ”

The north of Thanh Hoa City is the endless Taihang Mountain, and a section of the Taihang Mountain in the east is called Cypress Mountain by the locals because it is overgrown with cypress trees. The steep terrain of Kashiwa Mountain makes it easy to attack, so it is the best hiding place for mountain bandits.

After leaving Thanh Hoa City, the thin horse went straight to Bai Mountain, and after walking along the steep mountain road for a long time, the thin horse finally saw the jagged wooden fence.

"Someone, stand still and don't move!" Not far away, bandits on a sentry post had spotted the skinny horse.

The thin horse raised his face: "It's me, the thin horse of the Fusheng Gang!" ”

"It turned out to be a thin big brother, I'm sorry I didn't see it clearly. Open the door quickly, Brother Skinny Ma is here. ”

After a while, two people came out of the cottage and caught up with the thin horse.

In the council hall of the cottage, a big man with a tiger's back was drinking heavily, and a minion suddenly ran in: "Big brother, the thin horse is here." ”

Dahan put down the wine jar: "Skinny horse? What is he doing now? Let him in. ”

The thin horse came to the hall, and when he saw the big man, he immediately galloped to the big man's side, and knelt on the ground: "Brother Niu Ben, you have to make the decision for the brothers, Brother Liu Bao was framed by a traitor!" ”

"Huh? Is there such a thing? Niu Ben's eyes widened as he looked at the skinny horse.

Thin Horse told Niu Ben in detail about the situation in Qinghua City, and cried after speaking: "Brother Niu Ben, my eldest brother married you as a brother a few days ago, you can't die without help!" ”

Niu Ben put the wine jar aside: "Brother Slender Horse, don't worry, Liu Bao is my sworn brother, I will definitely save him!" It's just that Qinghua City has a lot of garrisons, and my cottage is only a hundred and ten people, so I can't come hard, so I have to think about it in the long run. ”

The thin horse arched his hand to Niu Ben: "With Niu Ben's words, the little one can rest assured!" Originally, I was supposed to advance and retreat with Brother Liu Bao, but as soon as I thought that someone had to send a letter to you, I quietly left it out, and now the little one is homeless. ”

Niu Ben helped up the thin horse: "Don't worry, brother, you can stay in my cottage with peace of mind, one day, we will enter Qinghua City and rescue Brother Liu Bao." ”

A few days later, the notice of the Wang family holding a cricket fighting competition was posted in Qinghua City, which soon became a hot topic of discussion, and the Wang family set up a prize of 1,000 taels of silver, which completely ignited people's enthusiasm, and people who were not very good at fighting crickets began to pay attention to who would spend the final bonus.

In the backyard of the county governor's mansion, Yang Xue held a piece of paper in her hand and read angrily in her mouth: "Men are all flowery turnips, and the front foot has to follow the knotted wife's 'white head and eternal heart' and the back foot is to the Qinglou woman 'grow together' hum!" It seems that Miss Ben should not have let him go. ”

After speaking, Yang Xue looked at the piece of paper in her hand again, and her eyes stayed on the sentence "Acacia makes people thin". looked at Yang Xue and saw her god, and said to herself: "Acacia makes people thin, I won't be thin, and I don't have lovesickness." ”

"Sister, what did you say?"

"Ahh Yang Xue was taken aback by Yang Lin behind her, she glared at Yang Lin: "Why don't you make a sound when you walk, you scared my sister to death." ”

Yang Lin looked at Yang Xue with an innocent face: "I called you, but you didn't promise me." What are you talking about what is skinny, what? Have you lost weight? ”

Yang Xue blushed: "What's so thin, you heard it wrong." By the way, you've been running out all day these days, why are you willing to stay at home today? ”

Yang Lin then remembered: "I'm here to ask you to go out to play, recently the Wang family held a cricket fighting competition, and I am also ready to participate, sister, can you accompany me to sign up?" ”

"You won't sign up yourself? Why did you call me? ”

Yang Lin smiled: "Isn't it still necessary to pay 1 tael of registration fees, my mother said that fighting crickets is not a serious business, so she won't give me money......"

The corners of Yang Xue's mouth raised: "I know, okay, I'll go with you." After speaking, Yang Xue put away the pieces of paper and went to the street with Yang Lin.

Since Zhang Shumo stammered, he was more treated by Li Yi in Shanyang Academy, and Li Yi began to let Zhang Shumo teach the children Analects, which also recognized Mr. Zhang Shumo's identity.

On this day, Zhang Shumo had just finished speaking, but found that Wang Chen was waiting for him outside the door for a long time. Wang Chen didn't talk nonsense with him, and dragged him to the street.

The two came to a two-story building, this small building is the property of the Wang family, and now the first floor is already the registration point for the cricket competition, and 10 square tables are placed on the second floor as the venue for the cricket competition.

Wang Chen smiled proudly: "What's the matter, it's all arranged by me." After speaking, he pointed to the shop opposite: "That shop is also mine, and now it is used to sell crickets, and the threshold is about to be broken." ”

Zhang Shumo nodded: "Well, it's indeed better than expected, but the bonus of a thousand taels of silver is set too much, I'm afraid it will affect the income." ”

Wang Chen pouted: "Big brother is short-sighted, my father has already sent the notice of the competition to the surrounding four cities, in previous years, Xu Liangcheng held an Oiran competition, which provoked the people of the four cities to watch." This time we set such a high bonus, people from the other four cities will definitely come to participate, and the people in the five cities add up to hundreds of thousands, and the registration fee alone has been returned. And this time, people who want to watch the game have to spend 100 yuan to buy an invitation, plus the money to buy crickets, this time it is at least a few thousand taels of income. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Chen lowered his voice: "And I also plan to participate, if I win the championship at that time, even the prize money will be mine." ”

Zhang Shumo smiled: "Brother Xian is really calculating, this is another step closer to buying Xingcui Pavilion." ”

The two were talking, and a voice suddenly came out behind them: "So, is it true that the legend of Zhang Gongzi in the market is that he loves the Yunyan girl of Xingcui Pavilion?" ”

The two were startled, and hurriedly looked behind them, only to see that Yang Xue was standing behind the two of them at some point.
