Chapter 051: Playthings are demoralized

Dai Qi hurriedly pretended again: "Master Chen, I'm in the palace, I'm going to be scolded if it's late." "Chen Yu didn't come to the teahouse specifically to drink tea, the meaning has been revealed to Guo Daiqi, and Dai Qi has already accepted the money, and he will definitely try his best to figure out what kind of lamps are lit in the palace.

Watching Dai Qi go downstairs, Chen Yu tasted tea, and the guests in the teahouse began to increase, carrying a cage bird, holding a cricket jar in his hand, this kind of person likes to talk about pomp and circumstance regardless of whether he has money or not, making a pot of tea, a few dim sum is considered breakfast, drinking tea and bragging about cows, not to mention how comfortable.

There is a circle of people downstairs, they are all crickets, some people propose to bet on winning or losing, that is, betting on one of the crickets to win, there are often such things in the teahouse, there are also such people in charge, some people are responsible for the cashier bookkeeping, the crickets are placed in the jar and start fighting crickets.

The first time Chen Yu saw the crickets, he felt very strange, and then placed a note of two taels of silver, a bag of cigarettes to divide the winners and losers, a cricket was bitten all over the body, Chen Yu won two taels of silver, the crickets he bet on all won, and the loser was depressed.

Chen Yu said to the owner of the cricket: "Boss, do you sell this cricket?" The owner of the cricket: "If you don't sell it, you won't sell it for silver." Chen Yu: "Where can I buy it?" The cricket owner: "It's here, you don't come here often, do you?"

Chen Yu: "The first time I came here to drink tea, and then I made a pot? The cricket master: "Quan Sheng, thank you for the tea." Chen Yu: "Chen Yu, what does Quan Ye do?" Quan Sheng: "Chen Ye is a layman, the people who come here don't ask what the other party does." ”

Chen Yu: "Don't inquire about each other?" Quan Sheng: "Don't ask, no matter what you do, you are all guests here, and the boss treats you equally, regardless of whether you are high or low, even if you are the general of Qingfeng City, you are just a tea guest when you come here, and you are holding a cage and fighting crickets." ”

Chen Yuxin said: "Lao Tzu used to be the general of Qingfeng City, you just don't know Mount Tai if you have eyes." On the surface, it can't be revealed, in case it is recognized but loses its identity, Quan Sheng: "In the past, the princes and nobles of Qingfeng City came here to drink tea, chat, and fight crickets. ”

Dare to love is the habit of drinking tea developed by the princes and nobles, so that the people who come here to drink tea have learned, forming the current custom, most of the princes and nobles in Qingfeng City died in battle, and the living are also wasted, unable to support a corner, and the kind that waits for death after eating three meals a day.

Ren Wu returned to the palace and reported to the eldest princess: "Eldest princess, Mr. Guo is right to be worried, someone really asked what things are used to light lamps in the palace." Zhaoyang: "Who is inquiring?" Ren Wu: "Chen Yu! ”

Zhaoyang: "Who did you ask about?" Ren Wu: "Quan Sheng, a person who carries cages and fights crickets all day long, the little one went in late, and he noticed Chen Yu when he happened to see him." "Qingyun Mansion is a place to collect news, and Ren Wu often disguises himself as a tea guest to drink tea there.

By the way, I can get some news, Zhaoyang: "What is Chen Yu asking about this? Then go to Qingyun Tower, and see who else Chen Yu asks about this matter." Ren Wu: "Yes! From that day on, Chen Yu went to Qingyun Tower every day.

Qian Kuang and You Yunxia became friends, often gave Qian Kuang a small object, Qian Kuang took it and sold it in exchange for two silver flowers, drank and gambled every day to be happy, and returned home to report to Chen Yu what You Yunxia did every day, Chen Yu analyzed and concluded that You Yunxia was a secret agent in East Vietnam.

Since it is concluded that You Yunxia is the leader of the Dongyue secret agent, and he can't denounce him, in case he bites back into the bone, it is still okay to knock some silver flowers, there are so many antiques in Jing Zhaixuan, and You Yunxia has been lurking in Qingfeng City for many years, so she must have a lot of savings in her hands.

Qingyunlou teahouse is to send silver every day, high-ranking officials and nobles send a lot of silver into Qingyunlou like flowing water, Chen Yu does not have such a thick family background, get some silver from You Yunxia to solve the urgent need, and Qian Kuang came back drunk again in the evening.

When passing in front of Chen Yu's room, Chen Yu: "Come in!" Qian Kuang opened his mouth wide in surprise, he didn't dare not go in, and pushed the door into Chen Yu's study: "Brother-in-law! ”

Chen Yu: "I asked you to stare at You Yunxia, you come back drunk every day, let me ask you, what has You Yunxia done recently?" Qian Kuang: "There is no action, I have been Jingzhaixuan all day during the day, and I am with him." Chen Yu: "Where is the evening?"

Qian Kuang: "I don't know at night, I can't help but sleep and watch him, right?" Chen Yu: "Let's go! Qian Kuang: "Go now? He must have slept." Chen Yu: "If he sleeps in Jing Zhaixuan, I will lose you a hundred taels of silver." ”

Qian Kuang had no choice but to follow Chen Yu to Jing Zhai Xuan, and when he arrived at Jing Zhai Xuan, the door was locked, Qian Kuang: "Where did you go so late?" Chen Yu pointed with his hand: "Go to the opposite alley and wait for him to come back." The two walked over and hid in the dark, and after half an hour, they saw You Yunxia coming back.

Qian Kuang was about to go out and ask You Yunxia where he went, Chen Yu pulled him and shook his head, watching You Yunxia open the door and go in, Chen Yu: "Go, go to the back." Bypassing the front faΓ§ade and seeing the wall in the backyard of Jing Zhaixuan, Chen Yu: "Squat!" Qian Kuang didn't know how to squat.

Chen Yu stepped on his shoulders and climbed up the wall, Qian Kuang didn't know what Chen Yu wanted to do: "Want to climb in?" Chen Yu: "Come up!" Pull Qian Kuang up the wall: "Aren't you friends with You Yunxia?" Go and knock on You Yunxia's door. ”

Qian Kuang muttered in his heart: "How can there be a third watch knocking on someone's door in the middle of the night? And he still climbed over the wall and went in and knocked on the door." Chen Yu asked him to do this, Qian Kuang didn't dare to contradict, the two went down the wall, Chen Yu was standing in the yard, Qian Kuang went over to knock on the door, just knocked on the door and opened.

You Yunxia opened the door and came out: "It's Master Qian, aren't you going back?" "I don't seem to be interested in how the two of them got into the yard, knowing that they came in over the wall, and they looked confident.

Chen Yu and Qian Kuang entered the house, Chen Yu sat down with a golden knife, Qian Kuang was a little nervous and restrained, You Yunxia: "Qian Ye also sit, I'll make tea." Qian Kuang: "Don't sit down." Chen Yu: "Boss You, we have been here for an hour, not here for tea." ”

You Yunxia carried a bag from the cabinet: "General Chen, I have long wanted to visit the door, but I have never had the opportunity, this is to honor General Chen." Chen Yu is no longer a general, and he is already very useful for this title, so he took the bag and weighed it: "Go back to sleep." ”

You Yunxia opened the door: "The two masters go slowly!" Qian Kuang looked stupid, he didn't know what medicine was sold in the two of them's gourd, the bag You Yunxia gave to Chen Yu was obviously silver, why did he prepare the silver a long time ago, as if he knew that Chen Yu was going to come and get it.

Chen Yu walked in front, Qian Kuang followed, You Yunxia walked a few steps to open the courtyard door: "The two masters walk slowly, and they will come often in the future!" Chen Yu walked away without looking back, Qian Kuang: "Boss You stays." You Yunxia ignored Qian Kuang and closed the courtyard door to sleep.

Back at Chen's house, Qian Kuang followed Chen Yu into the study: "Brother-in-law, do you know You Yunxia?" Chen Yu put down the bag in his hand and took out the cricket jar: "It's time to feed, you go to sleep, I'm going to feed the crickets." Chen Yu didn't say it, and Qian Kuang didn't dare to ask.
