Today's Chang'an is particularly lively, and the young ladies in their early teens are wandering around in colorful clothes, and their eyebrows are confusing, just like a hundred butterflies walking through the flowers, beautiful and gorgeous. The merchants knew that they would be able to sell well today, so they all worked hard, and the whole Chang'an was noisy and crowded, and it was a peaceful scene. There are several places of cockfighting in Chang'an City, but the cockfighting field in Shangguanli is the largest. Shangguanli is the closest to the two palaces of Changle Weiyang, and it is a place where the royal family and Beijing officials gather, and even the most prosperous Huo Guang has also set up a mansion here. The sons and grandsons of the nobles have many idlers, and they all have huge fortunes, and gradually have this place of entertainment and recreation.

Peng Zu had known that there was this place for a long time, but he didn't dare to come, and today he relied on Du Tuo to follow, and he also wanted to open his eyes, so he pulled them to the cockfighting arena in Shangguanli. The cockfighting arena was originally just a vacant land, and now a circle of brick platforms with a height of one zhang and a width of five zhang is built, and a circle of corridors is built on the platform, and a seat is set up under the corridor for the children of the rich and noble and the nobles, which can accommodate 200 people. There is a five-zhang square, half-person-high earthen platform in the brick platform, and this earthen platform is the battlefield of the "chicken general". There was not a single gentleman on the seat, only some people in coarse linen clothes and tattered clothes, but the earth platform was crowded with people, and they circled around several times, and the inner circle was full of silk and satin, and the outer circle seemed to be a domestic servant.

When Peng Zu and a few people arrived, the two "chicken generals" and "chicken wars" were in full swing, and the spectators stretched their necks for a while, widened their eyes for a while, scolded for a while, and laughed for a while, completely ignoring that today was the Shangsi Festival, and they needed to bathe and pray for blessings. A game down, there are losses and wins, win full of spring breeze, lose depressed, the dealer as usual into three parts, the chicken owner also has a share.

Jin'er couldn't help but sigh: "Good girl, this money is really good!" ”

Du Tuo smiled: "This is just a little person making some small money, and the master doesn't need to make money like this." ”

Peng Zu said: "Brothers, stop talking nonsense, a new game is about to start." As soon as the words fell, two more people each held a fighting and put it on the table, both of which were wearing red silk hydrangeas. The dealer shouted, "Sing the chicken." ”

One person said: "My chicken is from Ludi, the name is black and cloudy, and he has fought ten times in Ludi, and he has not tasted defeat!" After that, he tore open the red silk, and it was indeed very majestic and burly, with long legs and thick neck, sharp claws, thin and dark purple feathers all over his body, and he was full of spirit and couldn't bear to rush forward.

"Good chicken! Good chicken! A rare good chicken! Everyone was amazed, and the chicken owner couldn't help but feel proud.

Another humane: "My chicken has been raised with concentrate for half a year, and I have been trained for half a year, and I am already fearless. "Anyway, tear off the red silk. I saw a bald white chicken, much smaller than the other family, and everyone booed.

Peng Zu and several people said: "Buy the black cloud to press the top." ”

Du Yi said: "I think that when I buy a wooden chicken, you can see that although it is short, it is as stable as Mount Tai, and the edge is in the eyes." Several people argued.

A person next to him said: "Little brother, I'm afraid you haven't played, the victory or defeat is so obvious, you dare to buy wooden chicken." ”

The illness has said: "I think I should buy wooden chicken, and if I lose, I will invite you to eat meat skewers." Peng Zu and they agreed to buy wooden chickens.

The dealer said: "Place a bet, buy and leave." Everyone made bets, but only they and a middle-aged man bought wooden chickens. Many people laughed and said: "Wang Fengguang, your eyes are fine, right?" ”

The middle-aged man said: "The victory or defeat is in the sky, and you will laugh after the fight." ”

The dealer said "up", and the black cloud rushed up, but the wooden chicken did not move, and it was about to be pecked before it was dexterously dodged. No matter how the black cloud pressed the top attacked, the wooden rooster just dodged. Someone couldn't help but scold: "What a thing this guy raises, waste!" ”

After a while, the strength of the black cloud pressure was obviously weakened, and the wooden chicken suddenly widened his eyes and stretched his neck towards the black cloud pressure on the head, and the chicken comb on the head moved and pecked violently, and the mouth was fatal, and the black cloud pressure suddenly lost the power to parry, and the crowd was a roar of "quickly hide, quickly hide". The black cloud was full of blood in an instant, the chicken owner was busy admitting defeat, and the two of them each took the chicken away, and there was a shouting and scolding on the field.

Peng Zu said to the illness: "Amazing, I have fought cocks many times, but it is not as good as your first time!" ”

Du Tuo also praised: "It's a pity that we bet small and win less, and the cheapness is taken away by this Wang Fengguang." ”

When Wang Fengguang heard this, he laughed and said, "A few sons, go, I invite you to my wine shop to drink." ”

At this time, a person came out of nowhere, as feminine as a woman, and there were a few five big and three thick men behind him, and said quietly: "How can there be a reason to leave if you win a game, and then gamble on another game, I want to see what kind of fairy eye strength you are." ”

Peng Zu was just about to have a seizure, Wang Fengguang hurriedly drank, and said deeply to the man: "Manager Feng is here, disrespectful and disrespectful, the villain really likes the talents of these sons, and wants to invite them to drink, not to slip away, who made the bet just now and returned it to whom, I will honor you with the bet, do you think this is feasible?" ”

Manager Feng glanced at Wang Fengguang and said, "Acquaintance, acquaintance, go." Wang Fengguang hurriedly dragged a few sick people away.

Several people introduced each other, and Peng Zu said: "Who is that person just now, why are you so afraid of him, are you not allowed to leave even if you win?" ”

Fengguang lowered his voice and said: "Oh, my little brother, that person is Feng Zidu, the head of Huo Mansion, he is the real dealer in this cockfighting ring, we can't afford to provoke him, if you argue with him, I'm afraid you'll cause a big disaster." We met today, thank you for not giving up, go to my tavern for a drink, just in front. "I have heard the disease, and I secretly thought: This Huo family is terrible, a slave is so rampant, everyone says that Huo Guang is a pillar of the Han Dynasty, from this point of view, it must be that the family is not strictly governed.

Du Tuo said with a smile: "It's just that I didn't manage it well, my father's internal history is shrewd and capable, but he is very honest, and he doesn't even have a house in Chang'an." ”

Feng wanted to ask Du Tuo who his father was, but he was already beaten by the illness. The illness has been said again: "We met for the first time, why did Brother Wang care so much? ”

Fengguang said with a smile: "I am a warlock in the rivers and lakes, and I have a lot of experience in the art of physiognomy, and I feel that my appearance is extraordinary when I look at a few of them, and they are all the faces of the temple masters, especially the sick brother, whose face is unfathomable, and it is rare to see!" That's why I bet with you to see if my vision worked, and it didn't disappoint. ”

A few people were chatting, and suddenly someone patted the sick, and the sick had looked back and saw that it was Pingjun, who was surprised and delighted, and the hot spring in his heart surged.

Ping Jun said angrily: "Today's Shangsi Festival, you don't come to play with me, I have been looking for a long time, hum!" Pingjun scolded everyone in his mouth, but his eyes were staring at the illness alone, and the illness was so frightened that he hurriedly explained.

Fengguang said: "Since you are a brother and daughter-in-law, please come together, the little girl is about the same age as you, let's make friends." ”

Pingjun said: "Who is my brother and daughter-in-law, we are just friends!" Who are you? ”

Fengguang smiled: "This kind of thing can't be my eyes, you are very husband and wife, even if you are not husband and wife, you will be husband and wife in the future." ”
