Chapter 41: Catching Crickets

Zhang Shumo and Wang Chen were startled by Yang Xue behind them, but Wang Chen quickly reacted, and then said, "Fart!" Do you believe in the legends in the market? My eldest brother's poem was written for me to Miss Yunyan, and I was the one who wanted to buy Xingcui Pavilion! ”

Yang Xue was stunned by Wang Chen's scolding, but when she understood what Wang Chen meant, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

Zhang Shumo actually laughed after seeing Yang Xue being scolded, and his back was numb with fright. Zhang Shumo knows how smart this woman is, she didn't laugh angrily after being scolded, she must have some bad idea. Thinking of this, Zhang Shumo hurriedly played a round: "Brother Wang Chen is going to be reckless, this is Yang Xue, the daughter of Lord Yang Hua, the county lieutenant." After speaking, he said to Yang Xue: "Miss Yang, this is Wang Chen's son of the Wang family, and this cricket fighting competition is held by his family." ”

"It turned out to be a merchant's house, no wonder Wang Gongzi's export is dirty, which is very in line with your identity." Yang Xue deliberately sarcastically mocked Wang Chen to teach him what he had just said disrespectfully.

Zhang Shumo was stunned, and when he saw Yang Xue's expression, he understood that she was sarcastic about Wang Chen, since she was sarcastic, she shouldn't have any other ideas.

Wang Chen thought that Yang Xue was praising himself, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed: "Miss Yang doesn't need to say that, although I have read books for a few years, it is a bit too much." ”

Yang Xue covered her mouth and laughed after hearing this, and then said to Zhang Shumo: "Your friend is really cute, okay, okay, I won't joke with you, is Zhang Gongzi here to sign up for the competition?" ”

As soon as Wang Chen heard Yang Xue praise his cuteness, his face immediately turned red like a monkey's buttocks, and when he heard Yang Xue's question, he replied first: "My eldest brother will not participate in this competition, but I will participate, and I will definitely come out on top when the time comes!" ”

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Shumo: "You don't participate in the competition?" I thought you men liked these brave things, but there were exceptions? ”

"Miss Yang is wrong, although my eldest brother doesn't participate, he really has nothing to say about his ability to fight crickets! Let's put it this way, if he competes, I'll only finish second. ”

"Oh? So you're amazing? Yang Xue looked at Zhang Shumo.

Zhang Shumo nodded: "I know a little bit, Brother Wang Chen deliberately promoted me." ”

Yang Xue rolled her eyes after hearing this, and said to Zhang Shumo: "Since your friend has promoted you like this, it means that you still have some ability." It just so happens that I also want to participate in this competition, but unfortunately I am not very good at fighting crickets, I wonder if Zhang Gongzi is willing to teach the little girl to fight crickets? Maybe I'll forget about the kidnapping that day when I'm in a better mood. ”

Zhang Shumo frowned: I didn't expect Yang Xue to threaten herself with kidnapping. But since she didn't say it to others, she was already helping herself, and her father was Jaeyoung's top boss, so she taught her to fight crickets at that time.

Having made up his mind, Zhang Shumo arched his hand towards Yang Xue: "Since Miss Yang doesn't dislike it, she is naturally willing." I wonder if Miss Yang has already chosen a cricket? ”

Yang Xue saw that Zhang Shumo agreed, and she was happy in her heart, but her face was not shocked: "Not yet, why don't you accompany me to choose crickets first." ”

Hearing that Yang Xue hadn't chosen the crickets yet, Wang Chen said enthusiastically: "Miss Yang, my family just opened a store opposite, and all the best crickets are on sale, why don't we go and see them first?" ”

Zhang Shumo also nodded yes: "That's right, even if Miss Yang doesn't plan to buy it now, we can go and have a look, and I can introduce different kinds of crickets to Miss." ”

Yang Xue nodded and said to the two, "Wait a minute, I'll pass it soon." Then he turned around and walked to the front of the queue to sign up for the competition.

"Yang Lin, help my sister register as well." Yang Xue patted Yang Lin on the shoulder and handed him a tael of silver.

Yang Lin borrowed money and looked at Yang Xue in surprise: "Sister, you don't want to get that bonus, right?" You see, so many people can you win? ”

Yang Xue pouted: "Is my sister a person who loves money?" I'm just going to have fun, right? Okay, you can queue up with peace of mind, I'll go to the store opposite to have a look, and if you have registered, go to the opposite side to find me. ”

"Eh, I said ......" Before Yang Lin could finish speaking, Yang Xue walked to the door by herself. Yang Lin looked at the door in wonder, and suddenly found Zhang Shumo's figure, and wondered in his heart: Why did my sister become so close to the stupid son-in-law of the Lou family?

Yang Xue and the three of them came to the cricket shop, and Zhang Shumo picked a few medium-to-high crickets to introduce to Yang Xue. After some comparison, Yang Xue finally fell in love with a huge white tusk, but when she asked the price, Yang Xue frowned, an ordinary white ivory actually cost 12 taels of silver.

"I said, your family can't open a black shop, right? A small bug of this size actually costs 12 taels? How many people can't earn so much money in a year! Yang Xue directly questioned Wang Chen.

Wang Chen said disapprerovingly: "This superb cricket is priceless, and ordinary people can catch it themselves, and if they catch a good one, they can sell it to us, so we have created a way for them to survive!" If Miss Yang really likes this cricket, then I will sell it to you for 10 taels. ”

Yang Xue pursed her lips and did not answer, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Zhang Shumo stood aside, all in his eyes, so he relieved Yang Xue and said: "Actually, Miss Yang is playing fighting crickets for the first time, I suggest that Miss Wang catch one by herself first, and then buy one for the competition when she is familiar with it." If Miss Yang directly catches a top-notch cricket, she may be able to win the first prize in this competition! ”

"Really? Then you have to catch it with me, I've been very stupid since I was a child, and I'm afraid I can't catch it alone. Yang Xue looked at Zhang Shumo expectantly.

Zhang Shumo thought that he had promised to teach her to fight crickets anyway, and he would not be bad at helping her catch crickets, so he patted his chest: "Miss Yang, don't worry, the matter of catching crickets is on me." ”

Yang Xue saw Zhang Shumo agree, and her heart was excited: "Great, then let's go catch the crickets." ”

When Wang Chen heard this, he also wanted to follow, but Yang Xue said: "Thank you Brother Wang Chen for your kindness, since even Zhang Shumo said that I am suitable for catching it myself, then I won't sell it." Let's go first, I wish you a prosperous business. With that, he walked out the door.

Zhang Shumo made a helpless expression towards Wang Chen and followed, Wang Chen looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but exclaim: "Tut, interesting, interesting." ”

Yang Xue and Zhang Shumo left the store and just bumped into Yang Lin, Yang Lin came up and asked, "Sister, have you bought crickets?" My crickets are not the best, since I have registered, why don't you change one for me? ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shumo was about to invite Yang Lin to catch crickets together, but Yang Xue preemptively said: "Okay, okay, my sister promised you, but my sister still has something to do now, you go home to practice first, and then accompany you to buy it when your sister comes back, how about it?" ”

When Yang Lin heard that he was going to buy crickets for himself, he clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay sister, let's talk about it, I'll wait for you to come back." After speaking, Yang Lin walked back happily, and suddenly stopped after taking two steps: No, isn't my sister left alone when I leave? What does she want to do with Zhang Shumo, a lonely man and a widow?
