Wang Xi and Geng Hu, two rich men, fought cocks, and the bets they made were naturally small. The year before last, the two of them each took out their own cockfights, Geng Hu made 10,000 yuan, Wang Xi was a rich man, and he couldn't take out so much money, so he stook the deed of the cyclamen, which was considered to be equal. According to the rules of cockfighting, the two sides first observe each other's cockfighting, which is called "pair of chickens"; Then he hugged the chicken and went on stage, which was called "releasing the chicken". At the same time, the chicken guy in the corner of the table lit a stick of incense that can burn for half an hour, and each bucket of incense is counted as a "plate", and the two sides fight three plates, namely the first plate, the middle plate and the remnant plate. Between each plate, after a short rest, the chicken guy picks up the fighting and sprays the chicken with water in his mouth to cool down the hot fighting and make it recover his strength slightly, which is called "making water". After the three-set battle, Wang Xi's "pimple crown", which had won many battles in the past, was beaten by Geng Hu's inconspicuous little fighting and fled! Wang Xi was willing to admit defeat, and swore an oath with Geng Hu at the moment, agreeing to fight again in the coming year. Last year, Wang Xi and Shi Kaiquan's carefully domesticated "little black mouth" was defeated by Geng Hu's cockfighting claws, and all the fertile fields outside the city were lost!

The cub is not distressed to sell Yetian, Wang Xiyi gritted his teeth, and this year he took all the real estate and the Black Dragon Pond of hundreds of acres of water as a bet to go to this cockfighting appointment!

Wang Xi and Geng Hu's annual cockfight has become a topic of conversation among the people of Shucheng, and the suspense of who wins and who loses this year is even more exciting, and everyone is looking forward to this duel.

……

This time, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng understood that dog meat was so delicious, especially the flavor of skipping school and eating dog meat was better! Fan Changfeng grew up to eat wine for the first time, although Li Tao often drank in later generations, but it was also the first time after crossing over.

Both of them were red-faced, and although they stumbled on the way home, the joy in their hearts was also obvious.

"Jiulang! You...... Why is this so ...... to me? Well, you can even take it for me...... Board, I know you're the top ...... ...... afraid of pain," Li shook forward in confusion.

"Atau, don't you remember...... Because I wet the bed, they ...... None of them want to ...... Ignore me, just you...... Don't dislike me...... Play with me...... Since then, I've ...... I swear...... I'm going to be good to you for the rest of my life......" Fan Changfeng laughed while burping.

"Are you wetting the bed? I...... I really don't remember...... I'll give you a recipe...... Keep you good......" Li Tao patted his chest and said.

"Really? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Fan Changfeng was so excited that he also woke up most of the time.

"I ...... No...... Don't you remember what happened before......" Li Tao rolled his eyes.

"That's right!" Fan Changfeng touched the back of his head and said with a smile.

……

After returning from the county seat, Li Tao no longer felt dizzy, but was just hot.

Seeing that the door of his house was getting closer and closer, Li Tao couldn't help but hesitate: What about skipping school and not confessing to A-Niang?

Although Yuan's is not his real A-Niang, Li Tao has already recognized her in his heart, A-Niang and Fan Changfeng are the two closest people in the world to Li Tao.

"Uncle Yue, what do you say Tao'er is doing standing there? Why don't you come to the hospital? ”

The Yuan family and Pei Yue stood in front of the courtyard gate, and the Yuan family had just learned from Pei Yue what his son had done in one day. At this moment, she looked at Li Tao standing outside the courtyard, as if thinking about something, and couldn't help but ask strangely.

Pei Yuedao said with a smile: "I guess the little master is thinking about whether he should tell the master mother about not going to the private school!" ”

"This kid doesn't study well at a young age, and he doesn't go to private school but secretly eats and drinks!" Yuan's face was helpless.

Pei Yue shook his head and said, "Master, there is nothing wrong with eating wine, the master and I used to eat wine often!" I admire the little master very much, I don't dare to eat and drink at his age! ”

Hearing Pei Yue mention Junlang, Yuan suddenly remembered Junlang's advice before his death, and couldn't help but be relieved: "That's it, let him go, as long as he is happy, I have the right to ignore it!" ”

"Master, look at what the little master says, if he doesn't mention you, he will be treated as ignoring!"

Yuan nodded.

"Master, the little master is here!" Pei Yue reminded.

Sure enough, Li Tao entered the courtyard with a smile.

Yes, Li Tao figured it out: the person who is closest to him and the best should not be hidden.

In later generations, Li Tao did not know how to cherish family and friendship, and regretted it when everything was lost. Now, he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, Li Tao decided to tell Ah Niang honestly, even if he was reprimanded, he asked for peace of mind.

"Auntie!" Li Tao saw the Yuan clan and shouted affectionately.

"Tao'er has worked hard, is it okay to be in a private school today?" Yuan also smiled.

"Auntie! I didn't go to private school today! Li Tao is serious.

Yuan and Pei Yue glanced at each other, she didn't expect Li Tao to tell herself so bluntly that she didn't hide it.

Yuan Shi was surprised and said, "You didn't go to the private school today?" ”

"Yes, A-Niang......" Li Tao told the Yuan family about going to the county seat.

Yuan Shi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and asked with a pleasant face: "Tao'er, can you tell A-Niang, why don't you want to go to the private school?" ”

Li Tao saw that A-Niang was not annoyed, he was much bolder, and said with a straight face: "A-Niang, I think ......."

Li Tao talked endlessly for more than half an hour, and when he couldn't stop yet, Yuan and Pei Yue were already stunned.

"Auntie, Uncle Yue, what's wrong with you?"

After a long time, Yuanshi sighed: "Tao'er, in the future, as long as you feel right things, just feel free to do it, A-Niang will support you!" ”

"Thank you, Auntie! I'll go back to the house first! Li Tao listened to Yuan's words as if he had taken a reassuring pill and went happily.

Pei Yue said incredulously: "Mastermother, is this still the little master from before?" I have never heard of what he said! ”

Yuan muttered to himself: "Junlang, it is Junlang who has a spirit in the sky......"

……

Second, Fan Changfeng came to call Li Tao to go to private school again.

"Jiurou, is there anything wrong with you?" Li Tao saw Fan Changfeng's strange appearance when he walked.

"I was beaten by my father last night, and my butt still hurts!" Fan Changfeng said with a bitter face.

"What? Your dad hit you on the board? Didn't you go to the private school yesterday and was discovered by your father? ”

"Do you want to go to private school, so that your father doesn't care?" Fan Changfeng pouted.

"Why is that?"

"Tao, do you know what those people are going to the private school for?"

"Naturally, it is for the sake of participating in the imperial examination in the future, and it is good to be an official with fame!" How could Li Tao not know this.

"The law of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that businessmen are not allowed to participate in scientific examinations, my family has been in business for generations, and my father knows this, he doesn't care whether I go to a private school or not, and I go to a private school just to have a good time!"

Li Tao saw that Fan Changfeng's face was very calm when he said this, and he didn't seem to feel any regrets about not being able to participate in the scientific examination, so he dispelled the idea of comforting him.
