Chapter 159: Fighting Crickets

"Then madam, take your slave with you......," said Ping'er.

Lin Xiaomiao still shook her head: "This is not good, it will be a big goal with you...... Ah, no, I mean, it's not very convenient to bring you with me. ”

Ping'er stood in front of Lin Xiaomiao and said, "If Madam, you refuse to bring the guards and slaves, then ...... The slave had no choice but to tell the prince! ”

Ping'er stomped her foot, and had no choice but to threaten Lin Xiaomiao like this.

Looking at Ping'er's serious little face that didn't laugh at all, Lin Xiaomiao's eyes widened, "Ah! Ping'er, you're going to threaten me now! ”

Ping'er hurriedly shook her head: "That's not the case, the slave maid is also for the sake of Madame's safety, if Madame, you are in any danger outside the house, then the slave and maid will definitely not be able to get out of it, rather than appear, it is better for the slave and maid to go out with you." ”

Ping'er said, her tone was very aggrieved.

"Otherwise, I'll bring you something delicious when I get back." Lin Xiaomiao discussed.

Ping'er shook her head and stood firmly in front of Lin Xiaomiao to block Lin Xiaomiao's going.

Looking at Ping'er's aggrieved little face, Lin Xiaomiao really didn't want to take Ping'er with her, she felt that there should be no danger for her to go out alone, but Ping'er was stubborn to death today, no matter how Lin Xiaomiao persuaded her.

In the end, Lin Xiaomiao compromised, and she said helplessly: "Okay, since you insist, then I'll take you out." ”

As soon as she heard Lin Xiaomiao loosen her mouth and take herself out, Ping'er turned cloudy and sunny, and her whole little face lit up.

"Great......"

Looking at Ping'er's happy appearance, Lin Xiaomiao hurriedly stopped her: "You have to change your clothes." ”

"Okay!" Ping'er's wish came true, and she agreed to what Lin Xiaomiao said.

When Ping'er came out after changing her clothes, Lin Xiaomiao looked at Ping'er dressed as a little girl, she was stunned, and finally went to the inner room silently and turned over a set of men's clothes that she had hidden before, and then changed into them slipperily.

Both the master and servant changed into men's clothes before going out through the side door of the palace.

Xu Shiping'er had a hard time getting out of the palace, so as soon as she came to the street, she asked Lin Xiaomiao excitedly: "Madam, where are we going now?" ”

Lin Xiaomiao knocked Ping'er's head and said, "You kid, don't look at what occasion it is, don't call me Mrs., you have to call me son." ”

Just looking at Lin Xiaomiao's upright appearance, she really looks like a handsome little boy, so many bold girls on the street secretly stopped their eyes on Lin Xiaomiao.

Ping'er called out kindly: "Okay, Childe." So where are we going now? ”

Lin Xiaomiao shook her head and thought about it: "Hmm...... I want to think about it......"

In fact, Lin Xiaomiao didn't know where to go, in short, she was very impatient to stay in Jueyang Palace, so she wanted to go out for a walk and relieve her boredom or something.

"Well, I don't know where to go, so let's just wander around."

So, the two of them walked around the street full of eyes.

The capital of the Southern Dynasty is still very prosperous, there are many strange gadgets on the street, and there are many performers.

The two of them walked around here and there, but they also felt happy.

When they walked to a corner, Lin Xiaomiao and Ping'er found that there were many people around that place, more than the previous places where they were performing.

Lin Xiaomiao was curious, she tilted her head and said to Ping'er: "There are so many people here, there should be something lively to see, let's squeeze in and have a look." ”

The two finally squeezed into the crowd, only to find that there were people fighting crickets here.

"Hahaha! Win, win, win! ”

Before Lin Xiaomiao could see clearly how this legendary fighting cricket was played, she heard the people around her cheering loudly.

It turned out that before Lin Xiaomiao and Ping'er squeezed in, they had already fought for a round.

This cricket fight is actually the same as betting on horses, raising a cricket like a baby, and then fighting with other people's crickets, and then the onlookers on the side bet on which cricket wins, and the bet can naturally win.

However, the bet on this cricket is not necessarily only, anything that you feel is worthwhile, as long as someone is willing to ask for it, you can make a bet.

There are some men gathered here, Ping'er is a little girl, and she rarely has the opportunity to squeeze a bunch of men like this, so she is very uncomfortable all over her body, tightly twisting her little brows and wrinkling a small face.

She couldn't help but reach out and tug at Lin Xiaomiao's sleeve, and whispered, "Husband...... Childe, let's go, it's not fun here. ”

Although Ping'er said very quietly, a very rough-looking man next to him still heard it, and he glared at Ping'er unhappily: "Boy, don't talk nonsense, you don't understand the fun we have here, if you dislike it, just stay there, don't get in the way here, if you talk nonsense and is heard by Xiaoqiang, it will be angry." ”

Ping'er was half frightened to death by the man's unceremonious tone, opened her mouth and couldn't say a word, and she could only blush her little face when she left.

She blushed and clenched Lin Xiaomiao's clothes even more, pursing her lips and not daring to speak.

Lin Xiaomiao was naturally protecting Ping'er, she looked at the big man, smiled, and said: "This strong man misunderstood, my kid didn't mean anything else, but he was a little timid, you spoke so loudly, but it scared him." ”

Although Lin Xiaomiao was smiling, the eyes of Bing Lingling had learned Duanmu Yi's coldness.

Even if you can't learn ten out of ten, it's not adulterated at all to bluff people.

Lin Xiaomiao also didn't expect that the strong man was a papier-mΓ’chΓ© tiger, and his courage was not much greater than that of Ping'er, and when Lin Xiaomiao looked at him so coldly, his legs softened in an instant.

Xu is because Lin Xiaomiao is well-dressed, and the strong man guesses which little son Lin Xiaomiao is coming out to find a pastime, after all, this cricket is the son of a lot of nobles, if he really touches a hard nail, it will also make people look bad, so it is not good to continue to talk to Lin Xiaomiao: "Since it is a misunderstanding, let's misunderstand, I have always spoken so loudly......"

Lin Xiaomiao looked at the strong man's expression that instantly softened, and raised her eyebrows, "By the way, I haven't had time to ask a strong man, who is Xiaoqiang?" ”

"Xiaoqiang? That's the most famous victorious general in our 100-mile radius here! Speaking of 'Xiaoqiang', the strong man's eyes lit up, "We all won a lot of good things because of him." However, since he is a victorious general, his natural temperament is also great, and it is easy for people to say ......"

When the strong man said the latter sentence, he deliberately lowered his voice, and his eyes quietly looked at a cricket in the crowd that looked nothing special.

Lin Xiaomiao followed the big man's gaze and asked hesitantly, "That...... Is it Xiaoqiang? ”

Dahan nodded hurriedly: "Yes, you said that our Xiaoqiang is not very good-looking, better than other crickets, worthy of being a winning general, just Jun!" ”

…… How did it become our Xiaoqiang, Lin Xiaomiao's face stiffened, obviously she didn't understand how this man looked so skillful with her so quickly.

Lin Xiaomiao was still very interested in fighting crickets, she looked around, pressed her hand on the position of her wallet, and obviously wanted to gamble.

"Everyone, listen well, listen well, now that our Young Master Chen has said it, he has decided to play a big one, as long as this bet is won, each person can get twenty taels of silver! Twenty taels of silver! Don't miss the opportunity, brothers, hurry up and place your bets! ”

The onlookers were in an uproar, the twenty taels of silver were too tempting.

Lin Xiaomiao looked at the people around her who were about to move, and the little hand that pressed on the money bag became even more itchy.

It's no wonder that so many people like to gamble, and if they win, they will be rewarded.

Ping'er was even more frightened, she tugged at Lin Xiaomiao's clothes again, and whispered, "Childe, why don't we go......"

Lin Xiaomiao shook her head and said, "Don't worry, when my son comes back after winning these twenty taels, I will take you to eat and drink spicy food!" ”

Just when Lin Xiaomiao hesitated, there were already many people around her who bet, and it was the first time she had played this, and she didn't know the rules very well.

The big man next to him saw Lin Xiaomiao's hesitation, so he said: "If you also want to bet, you can bet on Xiaoqiang, bet on Xiaoqiang." ”

As the big man spoke, he pressed his chips to the side of Xiaoqiang he said.

Lin Xiaomiao looked at the crickets in the small basket, and deliberately observed the Xiaoqiang that the big man said, and found that Xiaoqiang was still in good spirits after the last round of competition.

However, she didn't want to bet on Xiaoqiang so much, after all, it had already consumed a lot in the previous round, and no matter how energetic it looked, it might be tired.

Lin Xiaomiao thought for a while, and suddenly said loudly: "Then what if you don't win?" ”

Everyone was dazzled by the possibility of winning twenty taels of silver, and did not ask the banker what would happen if he lost.

The person sitting in the village was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect that someone would notice this until now, and looked at Lin Xiaomiao, "If you lose, you will have to pay ten taels of silver." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people around them exploded again.

Ten taels of silver, that's not a small amount!

Although it is very tempting to get twenty taels of silver if you win, but if you lose, ten taels of silver is not something that some people can take out casually.

For a moment, those who had already placed bets were a little hesitant.

Lin Xiaomiao looked like this, this won and made a big profit, and if she lost, she naturally lost a lot.

Soon, several people withdrew their chips and shouted that they would not gamble.

The one sitting in the village glanced at Lin Xiaomiao coldly, and his eyes were clearly complaining about what Lin Xiaomiao was doing with her mouth, if Lin Xiaomiao only looked at it and couldn't bet, then the one sitting in the village would probably eat Lin Xiaomiao raw.

Lin Xiaomiao finally made a move, she bet not on Xiaoqiang, but on another.

She still felt that Xiaoqiang, who had fought for a round, had little chance of winning.
