Only when the case was over, and Huang He had no place to confess to bury the treasure, he made an excuse to let Zhao Wu dig it, and he could dig it best, and if he couldn't dig it, he couldn't ......

Xu Lan fell asleep because she thought that it was almost dawn.

On the second day, Xu Lanyin slept lazily and got up with her two children, and on this day she accompanied the two children to play in the house.

The next day, I took them to the tea shop to drink tea and conduct market research.

The tea shop they went to was called Yaqu Ge, which was the best tea shop in Ningzhou Mansion.

The first floor is the lobby, there is no single room, pure tea and snacks, it is the cheapest place in the whole tea house. On the second floor is the chess tea room, which is divided into more than a dozen small single rooms. As soon as you go upstairs on the third floor, there is a hall, which is a place for chess fighting. There are also six large rooms, which are also chess tea rooms, which are much larger than the small single rooms on the second floor, and of course the cost is much higher.

The design of this tea shop is basically the same as that of many high-end tea houses, except that some of them are mainly listening to music and books, and here they are mainly playing chess.

People in this era are good at tea, good at chess, and better at fighting chess. Officials and military attachés, celebrities and ordinary people, all like to play chess. Most civil officials and celebrities liked Go, while military attachés and common people mostly liked chess, and many liked both. It's an old farmer and a doll in the countryside, and he likes to draw a grid on the ground and play stone chess when he has nothing to do.

The kind of bird chess that Xu Lanyin made has become a favorite chess game for many children and girls because it is beautiful, simple, and has many people involved, and it is also an indispensable entertainment item for many young ladies at parties. Even ordinary people will have a pair at home, and take it out to play when guests come.

Steward Hao asked for a chess tea room on the third floor.

He only took Liu's mother, Qingyin, and Zhangqi to accompany Xu Lanyin, Min Jia, and Xu Lanting to the third floor, and the rest stayed in the hall on the first floor.

Tea Xiaoer came to tea first, and Qi Xiaoer came to ask what chess he liked.

Seeing that the master only had Xu Lanyin and two children, it seemed that he could only play bird chess, and said with a smile, "We have bird chess here." ”

Xu Lanting asked loudly, "Is there any checkers, Jiajia and I like to play checkers." ”

Qi Xiaoer shook his head and smiled, "And that kind of chess?" Sorry, we don't have one here. ”

Xu Lanyin smiled, "Then let's take the bird chess." ”

Qi Xiaoer took out a box of flying bird chess, the wooden chessboard was carved with beautiful flowers, the chess pieces were carved with different birds, the workmanship was fine, the colors were gorgeous, smooth and delicate in the hand, and there was a fragrance.

Even simple flying bird chess can be done so luxuriously, which is much beyond Xu Lanyin's expectations.

Xu Lanyin led her two children to play chess. After playing until noon, Min Jia didn't want to leave, so he asked for a few bowls of silver silk noodles, a few bowls of glutinous rice balls, and some dim sum to eat. There are only sweets and noodles, and there are no alcoholic beverages.

After eating, the two children were sleepy, and everyone got up and went home.

Outside the door, a man arched his hand and asked, "Excuse me, what kind of chess is checkers?" ”

He was playing chess next door, and when he passed by the door of the house, he heard the voice of the children in the house.

This man is in his early thirties, of medium build, on the thin side, with a short beard on his lips, and wears a blue satin jacket, which is very Kochi-like.

Xu Lanting immediately said, "Checkers is checkers, which is much more fun and complicated than bird chess. ”

Min Jia nodded very seriously.

Xu Lanyin explained, "Checkers is a kind of chess played by children. ”

Steward Hao walked behind, he came out and smiled, "It's Lord Zhou, come here to play chess again?" ”

Zhou Shu also arched his hand and said with a smile, "Today, the distinguished guests who accompanied the capital are here to enjoy tea and chess. He wanted to ask more about checkers, but when he saw them going downstairs, he had to give up for the time being.

Xu Lanyin and the others went down to the first floor, and Steward Hao said in a low voice, "That Master Zhou Shu is the vice president of Ningzhou Academy, and he is a chess idiot. In Ningzhou Mansion, no one can play Go and Xiangqi against him. ”

Xu Lanyin knew that Ningzhou Academy was a government-run academy, and the dean was concurrently served by the academic administration, regardless of the matter. The actual person in charge is the vice president, who is also an official, and he is from the sixth grade. Hu Wan studied at Ningzhou Academy before, and it was also the place where Xu Lanzhou and Xu Lanting longed for.

Zhou Shu is amazing. Two completely different types of chess, he has the ability to take the first place at the same time.

Back in Minfu, the carriage stopped in the front yard, and as soon as Xu Lanyin got out of the carriage, Ding Gu led a teenager over to kneel and kowtow to her. The young man is extremely handsome, very similar to the Lu family, and even more beautiful than the Lu family.

Ding Gu said, "Big girl, my son has found it, and we will never forget the great kindness of the big girl." ”

He was a little choked up. I thought I would never see my son again, but now we are finally reunited. What scared him even more was that his son was actually sold to that kind of place by that wicked woman.

The young man also knelt down and kowtowed, "Slave Ding Xiaoran, thank you, big girl." ”

Xu Lanyin asked them to get up and said with a smile, "It's good to find it." ”

The little steward who accompanied Ding Gu to find someone said with a smile, "This matter went very smoothly, first found their original owner's house, forced to ask which tooth shop he sold to, and then forced the tooth man to ask the tooth man, only then did he find the child in that kind of place and ransom it with twenty taels of silver." ”

"Questioning", "that place", twenty taels of silver...... Xu Lanyin heard that the child was sold in an inappropriate place. Without the help of the Min Mansion, this child would have suffered in his life.

Before, Xu Lanyin gave Ding Gu twenty taels of silver, thinking that a twelve-year-old boy would sell his body for eight taels to ten taels of silver, and in addition to the money spent on inquiring and eating, at least eight taels could be left, and he would give it to the steward and the coachman who helped find someone.

This time the buyer used twenty taels, and there was no money left, and the money for eating and drinking must have been taken by Ding Yin.

She took out ten taels of silver from her purse and gave it to the steward, and said with a smile, "Thank you, this money will be used to drink with the coachman's uncle." ”

The housekeeper was embarrassed to accept it, and Steward Hao smiled, "Miss Xu will accept it if you give it to you, and when Miss Xu needs it in the future, her legs and feet will be sharper." ”

The steward accepted it with a smile. Ding Gu also privately honored them for a tael of silver.

In the next three days, Xu Lanyin led her two children to three teahouses to drink tea, play chess, listen to books, and listen to music. Of course, they could not listen to books and music in the hall, but through the screen in the box.

With a general understanding of the teahouses of this era, Xu Lanyin has some settings for his teahouses.

Xu Lanting and Min Jia were very happy, especially Min Jia, the corners of his mouth were hooked at any time.

Seeing such a Min Jia, Xu Lanyin felt that Min Hu must be a very boring person, except for work and reading, he has no other hobbies, and he will not accompany his daughter-in-law and daughter to go shopping.

It was August 15, and Xu Lanyin did not go out on the street, but took her two children to the lake. There are two osmanthus trees there, and a few people got some osmanthus flowers and took them back to make osmanthus glutinous rice dates and pear osmanthus double flowers.
