The shouts and cheers in the hook bar were endless, and the two teenagers with hoods were punching and kicking, and the fight was inextricable.

"Convincing or not?" Xu Qilin finally restrained Liu Zhenghe with his close-quarters lock technique, and asked with a pant.

Liu Zhenghe gritted his teeth and was stubborn, and arched his waist suddenly, wanting to shake off Xu Qilin behind him.

Xu Qilin's legs were crossed around his opponent's waist, and his arms were strengthened, and in a few seconds, Liu Zhenghe was deprived of oxygen and fell weakly.

"Red wins!" The referee waved his arm down, ending the contest.

"Okay, good fight!" Yu Chihuan shouted loudly, waving the lottery ticket in his hand.

Scarlett finally closed her mouth, which had been open for a long time, and breathed a long sigh of relief, but also a little worried. Ah Lang also received a few punches and kicks just now, and once he was still hit in the face, and I don't know if the injury was serious.

Adjani smiled, secretly touched the lottery ticket around her waist, and took out a piece of baked bun from her small satchel, stuffed it into her mouth and bit it with a clattering sound.

Liu Hongye was full of smiles, and bumped Wei Chihuan with his shoulder, and the two exchanged glances, both of them were happy.

Some people in the audience were excited and excited, and some people sighed in frustration. Although I don't know who the above contest is, winning and losing money is the most important thing.

"Lost!" Pan Daoxin lowered his head and threw the lottery ticket in his hand to the ground.

He didn't feel sorry for a few pocket money, and he bought lottery tickets to cheer Liu Zhenghe on. But in the end, if you lose, you can't help but be depressed.

Liu Zhenghe quickly woke up, first sat up, shook his head, became more sober, and knew that he had lost.

Xu Qilin didn't go back to the backstage immediately, but waited for Liu Zhenghe to wake up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Liu, admit it." Let's go down now! ”

Liu Zhenghe hesitated, but still stretched out his hands to shake them together, stood up with his strength, and walked to the backstage with Xu Qilin.

After entering the backstage, the curtain was up, and the two of them took off their hoods, and they both had bruises on their faces, but they were not serious. They looked at each other for a long time, and they couldn't help laughing.

"I didn't expect Xu Xiaolang's kung fu to be so powerful." Liu Zhenghe touched the wound on his face and grinned in pain, but his mood didn't seem to be very bad, "I thought that there were few opponents among my peers, but I was a frog at the bottom of the well, and I was arrogant." ”

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "If it is said that there are few opponents, Brother Liu also deserves it." If it weren't for a fluke to catch a vacancy, he would have to take a few punches and kicks from Brother Liu. ”

Liu Zhenghe laughed and said, "Your place is very interesting, and the competition is fair." I will come back in the future and compete with other masters. ”

Xu Qilin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Liu doesn't know. The contestants here are all adults, and there is no one as old as you and me. ”

Liu Zhenghe nodded and did not speak again. Both of them changed into their own clothes, walked backstage, and went to the audience to meet their partners.

That's right, Xu Qilin introduced boxing-like events in the Vasher Hook Bar, and allowed spectators to buy lottery tickets to bet on winning or losing. The denomination of the lottery ticket is not large, each card is ten wen, divided into two types: red and black, representing the opponent of the bet.

After the end, the audience can hold the ticket to pay, the highest is one to one, the lowest is ten to four, if the two sides of the bet is not enough to pay, then by the Vasher box to make up the shortfall.

This rule has been in place for some time, and it has been quite popular, and there have been several professional players. They all have their own nicknames, and they also have their own signage descriptions, such as weight, height, win rate, etc.

With the pros, there are fans, and more spectators are familiar with the players, and when there is a game, they will come to cheer on them, and they may even win a small amount of money.

In addition to knowing the contest of the names and surnames of the players, Xu Qilin also opened up the anonymous competition. If you feel unambiguous, you can sign up, but you can wear a hood without revealing your true face or your real name, and the opponent will be determined by lottery.

This kind of game is more fortuitous and can only be bet on based on rough judgment. But the audience is not small, and the ticket revenue is not low.

Like Xu Qilin and Liu Zhenghe, the game was temporarily arranged, and the audience was unclear about the situation of the players, and there were few bettors. But Xu Qilin and Liu Zhenghe are not just trying to make money, they just use this place to compete in martial arts.

Xu Qilin didn't go anywhere, so he waved to Wei Chihuan, Liu Hongye, Scarlett and others, signaling that they could leave.

Everyone else walked very fast, but Wei Chihuan was a little reluctant. While the commentator on the field was talking about the other two players, several ticket sellers were already walking around the spectators, peddling two-color lottery tickets, and another game was about to start.

"Let's go!" Liu Hongye pulled Wei Chihuan and teased, "Do you still want to bet to make money?" I don't know about it, so forget it! ”

Wei Chihuan's hand had already gone to take out the money, and when he heard Liu Hongye say this, he smiled and dispelled the idea of betting.

As soon as they met outside, Scarlett rushed to Xu Qilin, looked carefully, and asked with concern, "Ah Lang, you have a wound on your face, wait for the slave family to give you medicine." ”

"Let's go back and tell you, here- it's okay, hehe." Xu Qilin was a little embarrassed in the face of the maid's attentive care, mainly because outsiders were present.

"Brother Lin is mighty." Yu Chihuan stretched out his thumb and praised with his eyebrows, "Look at that bull's nose is still arrogant, lying on the stage like a dead dog, right?" ”

Xu Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "In the future, you are not allowed to cut first and then play, and lead people to fight here!" Besides, isn't it just a loss, as for the pounds? ”

Wei Chihuan consciously took the blame and asked Liu Zhenghe to come, but he really didn't say hello to Xu Qilin first. Xu Qilin was also afraid of losing their face, so he had no choice but to fight.

"Well, I'll go and redeem the lottery ticket first." Yu Chihuan smiled and said, "It's in the drunken night building, I'll invite everyone to drink." ”

"Take mine with you." Liu Hongye took out a few lottery tickets and smiled at Xu Qilin, "How about it, the brothers are strong enough to support it, right?" ”

Xu Qilin squinted at Liu Hongye, and said in his heart that you are really good at saying, why don't you say that this is Lao Tzu who fought hard on the stage to help you earn it.

Adjani hesitated, ran a few steps forward, caught up with Captain Chi Huan, secretly took out the lottery ticket and stuffed it to him, and whispered a few words.

At this moment, Liu Zhenghe, Pan Daoxin, and a Taoist priest also walked out.

Xu Qilin stretched out his hand to say hello, Liu Zhenghe and the others hesitated, but they still came over and greeted Xu Qilin and Liu Hongye.

"Why don't you eat in the drunken house and then leave." Xu Qilin invited: "It can also be regarded as a reconciliation of the previous suspicions." ”

Liu Zhenghe declined the invitation for a very good reason, which was even more convincing.

"You have a place to play chess and bet on the winner here!" Pan Daoxin made a suggestion to Xu Qilin, "If you get it right, I'll come every day." ”

"You have to be diligent and motivated at such an age, how can you lose your mind as a plaything?" Xu Qilin put on the posture of a teacher and taught this little chess idiot in a dignified manner.

Pan Daoxin blinked, suddenly grimaced, and said, "Don't be ashamed to speak up, and dare to teach me a lesson." ”

"Dao heart, don't be unreasonable." Liu Zhenghe stopped his words, and arched his hand to Xu Qilin, "I'll wait for this and leave." If Xu Lang has leisure, he can go to Xuandu to play, and he can be a guide. ”

"I will definitely go when I have time, Brother Liu will go slowly." Xu Qilin said goodbye and watched them leave.

Liu Hongye also looked at the backs of Liu Zhenghe and the others, muttered for a while, and said, "This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is presiding over the Three Religions Lecture Conference, what does Qi Lin think?" ”

What do you think? Four words, it's my business!

Xu Qilin smiled and said, "A certain layman, I can only stay away from this conference." It doesn't matter who wins or loses, he can't destroy a family, right? ”

Liu Hongye nodded with a smile and said, "Self cannot be destroyed, but prestige is related to it, even if it is a monk, it must be fought for." I want to hear about the high theories of various religions, but I am not qualified enough. ”

You're amazing, you can understand, I don't want to suffer that sin. Of course, I don't have that qualification.

Xu Qilin saw that Wei Chihuan came back from changing the lottery ticket, so he changed the topic and said, "Today is considered to be a reconciliation, and when I see Liu Zhenghe in the future, I don't want to quarrel again." ”

"That's nature." Liu Hongye said, "I'm just venting our anger, and it's not a life-and-death feud." ”

Yu Chihuan came closer, patted his waist with a smile, and said, "I got a little money from Brother Lin's light again." ”

Adjani was worried about her money, but in front of her own Ah Lang, it was difficult to make it public, so she had to look at Wei Chihuan.

Xu Qilin flicked Ajani's head and scolded, "If you don't study well, you dare to play with money!" ”

Adjani hurriedly lowered her head and rubbed her head with grinning teeth.

Wei Chihuan saw that Xu Qilin already knew, so he didn't hide it for Adjani, and said with a smile, "People are cheering for you to increase your strength, and you can't make money." As he spoke, he took out the copper coins and counted them to Adjani.

Adjani immediately changed her smile, put the copper coin in her purse, and covered it with her hand, as if someone had robbed her.

"Let's go, eat and drink, don't get drunk and don't return." Xu Qilin couldn't see the wealth obsession of his maid, rolled his eyes and shook his head, turned around and walked towards the drunken night building.

Xu Qilin was already slightly drunk when he returned to the house, and he took the invitation presented by the housekeeper and looked at it again and again, but he couldn't help but caress his forehead for some reason.

The eldest grandson Yin is a banquet guest, why did you send me an invitation?

Scarlett had already taken out the wound medicine and came over to apply it to him, and there was a distressed sigh in her mouth, "Look at this, it's all blue, and the corners of your eyes are black, don't fight with anyone in the future!" ”

Xu Qilin snorted twice and agreed. I just feel that my brain is confused, and some of it is not enough, so I simply don't think about it, what is so terrible about going to eat and drink tomorrow.

"Ah Lang takes a nap, right?" Scarlett saw that Ah Lang was drunk, so she said intimately, "If you don't have business in the afternoon, you don't need to go to the big Yingku, right?" ”

Xu Qilin said vaguely, "I will come to find something if something happens, and I won't go if no one comes." ”

Scarlett greeted Adjani, and the two helped Xu Qilin onto the bed, removed his coat, and covered him with a blanket. Xu Qilin turned over and fell asleep.

……………

"The princess is in Chenji, and she is trained in Xuanyao...... Bright as the night moon shines on Qionglin, rotten as the morning glow reflects Zhupu......"

In the history books, there are no words to praise the character and appearance of Li Lizhi, the princess of Changle. Whether it is true as its name suggests, is a natural beauty with a superb complexion, Xu Qilin is also full of curiosity.

Of course, Xu Qilin went to the banquet of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he did not expect to see his daughter-in-law, Princess Changle.

However, the gifts brought to the door should be more thoughtful. The eldest grandson Wuji, the eldest grandson Chong, and Li Liqing, these are three important figures, and they are more or less good-looking.

Anyway, if you are young, giving a gift to the princess will not cause any criticism and misunderstanding.

The next day, Xu Qilin prepared the gifts and rushed to the Zhao Guogong Mansion early. He didn't want to feast with other officials, so he planned to give a gift in front of him and find an excuse to leave first.

After waiting at the gate of the mansion for a while, Changsun Chong greeted him, his attitude was very close and easy-going, and he led Xu Qilin in after a few cold words.

"Qi Lin's reputation has spread all over Beijing, and he has long admired him, and he doesn't want to see each other today." As he walked, Changsun Chong said with a smile, "Some time ago, Xu Cheng sent someone to send orange red, but he hasn't come to thank him yet, it's really rude." ”

I'm very famous, Xu Qilin felt that the eldest grandson was praising himself, and he was a little polite, so he smiled and said, "The eldest grandson Shaoqing praised it falsely, what is the reputation of so-and-so?" As for Orange Hong, it's just a gesture, and Shaoqing doesn't have to be polite. ”

"Qi Lin is too modest." The eldest grandson Chong said, "As soon as the "Book of Tea" came out, drinking tea and tasting tea became a fashion, who didn't know that it was written by Lu Yuxian, the teacher of Qi Lin. The two mantras of pure heart and meditation have been copied from one to another, which can be called a peerless work. ”

That's right, that's all my master's merits, and even my fame has become famous?

Xu Qilin scratched his head, feeling that the speed of this fashion in the Tang Dynasty was not slow, and he tried not to have any mobile phones, telephones, and even less Internet.

Walking into the main hall, Sun Wuji, the eldest prince of Zhao Guo, got up to greet him. Where are the qualifications of other people's official positions and titles, such a number of courtesies can be regarded as giving Xu Qilin enough face.

Xu Qilin saluted, the guests and hosts sat down, and the gifts were brought in.

A set of covered bowls of tea sets, two folding fans with gold inscriptions, a box of fragrant dew, and that's it. A discerning person will know who the gift is for.

The eldest grandson Wuji seemed to appreciate the gaiwan tea set, and nodded again and again, "Presumably this is the gaiwan, although it is introduced in the "Book of Tea", the specific shape is unknown. Today is considered to be an insight, good, very good. ”

Xu Qilin said, "The shape is not bad, but it is not produced by a famous kiln, and the quality is also a little lacking." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji fiddled with the bowl and said, "When there is one on the market, why is it difficult for the famous kiln to be imitated?" It's just that this verse must not be so elegant. ”

"Half a cup of pure tea is moist, cultivating morality and purifying the soul." The eldest grandson Chong looked at the small poems on the tray and admired his chin, "There are two poems by Lu Xianchang, and this tea set is worth a thousand gold." ”

A thousand gold, not a thousand taels of gold, that's always money, it's too little, my family sells a set of ten.

The eldest grandson Chong reached out again and took the folding fan, this new object was also on the market not long ago, attracting many rich sons and daughters and complainants to buy it.

Bamboo bones and fan paper are very ordinary, but Xu Qilin sells feelings, prints a few lines of poetry, and dares to sell them for 500 yuan.

In fact, he didn't know it yet, because the poems were incomplete, mostly one or two sentences, and he already had a nickname, called "Xu Banshi", which was just one word different from Xu Banxian.

As for the poems, some are taken from the "Book of Songs", and some are taken from the two mantras of pure heart and meditation. But from the perspective of others, it is all new.
