It was another early morning, Zhou Xuan got up early in the morning to recuperate the "young general Zhang Bao", and Qin Xiaodi also got up very early, squatting on the side to watch his brother-in-law raise insects.

Xiao Cumin came over and said, "Uncle is early-Master Xiaodi, Miss asked you to recite the Book of Songs." ”

Xiaodi cocked her ass and watched it with relish, and said, "No, I want to see my brother-in-law feed Zhang Bao." ”

Zhou Xuan said in a big way: "Well, if I don't endorse it today, it's a holiday, so I said what I said, Miss didn't accept it, let her come to me." ”

Qin Xiaodi felt that this brother-in-law was really good.

A servant woman hurried in and said that there were two young men looking for their uncle, and they were crying, and Laifu was talking to them.

Zhou Xuan strode out of the front yard, sure enough, it was Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong, Tang Xiaosan's forehead was swollen and the boss had a bag, half of Hu Tong's face was red, and five clear finger prints were printed, this slap could be hard enough.

Zhou Xuan asked angrily: "What's the matter, who beat you?" ”

Tang Xiaosan was more eloquent, and said with tears in his eyes: "Zhou Gongzi, Hu Tong and I guarded the stage at Zhou Yu Point all night, and caught a yellow-backed cricket, which was much bigger than the one sold to Zhou Gongzi yesterday, and the cry was very loud, so we didn't even eat breakfast, and rushed twenty miles to Zhou Gongzi in the morning, walked to Jinfeng Fang, met a fat boy, heard the cricket cry in our bamboo tube, and said that we wanted to see it, we wanted to see it, but this fat boy said that he wanted to buy it, and said that he would give us twenty Wen, and we refused to sell it. Said that Zhou Gongzi booked, the fat boy said what kind of porridge and rice boy you are, dropped a few copper coins and grabbed the bamboo tube containing crickets, we refused to live or die, we wanted to take it back, the fat boy slapped Hu Tong hard, and one of his men pushed me down, and his head hit like this, woo woo. ”

Zhou Xuan comforted and said: "Don't cry, I will be the master for you, Song Dachun, go to the kitchen and get some steamed buns for the junior to eat-Laifu, do you know who the dead fat man they are talking about is?" ”

Laifu thought for a while and said: "There are several chubby sons over there in Jinfengfang, all of whom like to fight crickets, and now which child of a rich family doesn't play cricket, but there is only one who is so arrogant, it should be Wu Kuan, the son of Wu Gongcao." ”

Zhou Xuan asked: "What kind of official is Wu Gongcao, his son is so rampant?" ”

Laifu knew a lot, and said: "Gong Cao is a subordinate official of the state assassin history, in charge of state security, and he is the official of the seventh grade-" lowered his voice and said: "Our master is from the ninth grade, and he is many levels worse, uncle, we can't afford to mess with this person." ”

Zhou Xuan thought to himself, it turned out to be the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and it was really a character who walked sideways, I have to be careful for Tang Xiaosan, although the buddy will scatter twice, but after all, he is not a hero, and there is no big man to cover, blind will be split, so we must pay attention to strategy.

Zhou Xuan asked Tang Xiaosan about the shape of the cricket again, frowned and thought for a while, and asked Laifu to serve the "little general Zhang Bao", and went to Jinfengfang with Tang Xiaosan and Hu Tong, Tang Xiaosan found the place where the cricket was taken, and saw that it was in front of the Wu Mansion.

Zhou Xuan asked Tang Xiaosan and the two to go back to the Qin Mansion first to wait, and he took Laifu to the Wu Mansion to ask to see Wu Gongzi.

Laifu was a little scared and said, "Uncle, don't mess around, the family members of the Wu Mansion are all martial arts, and Laifu is not their opponent." ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "We are not here to fight, Uncle Ben pays attention to convincing people with skills." ”

The servants of the Wu Mansion saw that Zhou Xuanqi was extraordinary, and said that he was here to learn insect skills with Wu Kuan and Wu Gongzi, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he went to the foyer and sat down.

The fat man looked like he was in his twenties, his eyes were almost squeezed by the fat and couldn't open them, as soon as he walked around, the flesh of his whole body was trembling, and he tried to look at Zhou Xuan with his eyes wide open, and casually arched his hand: "This brother is on the table, what's the matter with me?" ”

Zhou Xuan smiled all over his face: "I heard that Wu Gongzi has a new good worm, so I came to appreciate it, and I intend to meet for a fight." ”

When Wu Kuan and Wu Fatzi heard the fighting insects, their cloudy eyes immediately brightened up by three points: "Haha, how do you know the good worm I just got?" Okay, good, if you want to fight, which worm are you fighting? ”

Zhou Xuanyi waved his hand, and Laifu stepped forward, holding the basin with one hand and uncovering the lid with the other.

Wu Kuan glanced at it twice, laughed dryly, and turned around and said, "Please help Tu to watch the insects." ”

It seems that Wu Kuan has someone who specializes in raising insects for him, I don't know how his skills are?

After a while, a man in his thirties was holding a verdant porcelain jar from the Yue kiln, and the strong chirping of crickets came from the porcelain jar.

"Xiao Tu, this person is going to fight with us, how about you come to see him as a worm?"

The helper surnamed Tu put on a high-ranking posture, paced over and glanced at the clay pot in Laifu's hand, and said with a sneer: "Ridiculous, this kind of inferior insect dares to come to the door to challenge?" If you win, you won't be happy. ”

Zhou Xuan smiled: "What do you mean that you are not happy when you win, I think you are afraid of losing and dare not fight, right?" ”

Wu Kuan's eyes glared: "What is this, this son is a well-known figure in Jiangzhou City, he is dignified, dare to act, you say, how to fight, what to bet on?" ”

This pig's head looks like a suave man, it's a pump.

Zhou Xuan pointed to the celadon jar in Tu Bangxian's hand and asked Wu Kuan: "Is this Wu Gongzi's new good worm, let me see the opponent too." ”

Tu Bangxian proudly lifted the lid, Zhou Xuan took a look, that's right, it was the yellow-backed cricket that Tang Xiaosan said, it was indeed a good worm, and it belonged to the same colonel level as "Little General Zhang Bao", but it was bigger than "Little General Zhang Bao", if the war started now, "Little General Zhang Bao" would not win.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Did this worm have a name?" My name is Zhang Bao. ”

Wu Kuan said proudly: "My name is General Xu Huang, haha, how can Zhang Bao be Xu Huang's opponent!" ”

Zhou Xuan shook his head, these people are all blindly named, just thinking about the fame, completely ignoring the strength level of crickets, at least the blue-backed crickets above the major general level can be called a heroic name like Xu Huang.

Zhou Xuan pretended to say casually: "Tu Bangxian, this Xu Huang is already in the prime of life, you have to match it with a female cricket, yin and yang are in harmony." ”

Tu Bangxian sneered: "Ignorance! The crickets used to fight each other cannot mate, just like a warrior, who is confused by the gentleness of the country will kill its fighting spirit, that is, to hold it, let it be full of lust, and fight to be fierce and furious-"

Tu Bangxian was talking energetically, but suddenly closed his mouth, tilted his head and squinted at Zhou Xuan: "Wow, you want to take my exclusive secret method of raising insects, you are so despicable." ”

Zhou Xuanho smiled, and knew in his heart, so he stopped chatting with this Tu Gang, and asked Wu Kuan: "Wu Gongzi, how much have you gambled, shouldn't it be calculated in terms of a few or dozens of dollars?" ”

Wu Kuan said angrily: "You can bet as big as you want." ”

"I can afford about three thousand taels of silver." If Zhou Xuan opened his mouth to sell the harmonica, Lin Heishan would deliver three thousand taels of silver immediately.

"Three thousand taels?!"

Wu Kuan was taken aback, although Jiangzhou City is extremely gambling, but a cricket gamble of three thousand taels of silver does not seem to have passed, maybe the festival will make Lord Lin's capital guard mansion have such a big gamble.

"You, can you get three thousand taels of silver? Who are you? I haven't asked for a name yet. "Wu Kuan doesn't know where Zhou Xuan is sacred, since he dares to speak out, maybe he has a lot of background, it's better to be careful when he speaks.

Zhou Xuan's mouth snorted, and the family Ding Laifu stepped forward and said proudly and loudly: "This is my uncle, surnamed Zhou Xuanzi Jielun, and my grandfather is Dr. Qin of the Medical Department." ”

Lai Fujian did not come to fight, but to fight crickets, and immediately became bold and loud, and he now has infinite worship for this uncle.

Wu Kuan laughed, and Zhou Xuan looked at him and laughed, worried about whether the flesh on the fat man's face would fall off with laughter.

"It turns out that you are the son-in-law selected by Old Man Qin, your kid is really lucky, you have a beautiful girl, the emperor's draft girl, but you kid is cheap! Why, can you get three thousand taels of silver? Move out and show me. ”

Knowing that Zhou Xuan was the son-in-law of Dr. Qin, a minor official of the Nine Grades, Wu Kuan's speech and demeanor were completely relaxed, and the face of the frivolous child was revealed.
