Underneath the satin is a small bamboo cage.

And inside the cage is a cricket.

Ma Chunhua thinks that this thing can't be elegant at all, so take this as a gift, isn't it a joke?

And this thing is actually worth a lot of money, which makes her feel that the world is crazy, and what she can't eat and drink is actually worth the price of a gold brick.

Qu Feiyan even said bluntly that only six or seven-year-old children like to play with crickets.

Chen Cheng knew that he was right. In his greedy life, Jia Yidao left a resounding nickname, the Prime Minister of the Cricket. It's about his love of fighting crickets.

This fighting cricket is not only Jia Nidao's hobby, but also the most popular aristocratic activity in Lin'an.

A good cricket is worth a thousand gold.

So Chen Cheng is absolutely not wrong to do what he likes.

And this cricket also has the advantage that it will not be deceived, at least not by a big deception.

Chen Cheng didn't think about sending calligraphy and paintings. But that thing is when the famous people are blind, if he spends a lot of money to send a fake to Jia Yidao, I am afraid that not only will it not play a role in pleasing people, but also offend people.

This cricket is different, just watch it perform. If you blow it hard, you will be bitten to death if you go up, and it is still not good.

At this time, an extremely beautiful woman turned out from behind the screen, which was naturally Jia Yidao's concubine Nan.

Jia Rudao didn't have time to take care of the concubine and Chen Cheng at the moment, so he called someone and compared him with his "great general".

The "Great General" is a cricket. The popular way of fighting crickets, powerful crickets are all to be sealed. There are generals, hussar generals, and chariot generals.

Jia Rudao fiddled with the crickets and said, "Can Chen Daxia know Yi Ji, the head of the Kowloon faction?" "He doesn't care about putting on a light-hearted, courteous corporal now, and has completely become a plaything and a wastewood.

Chen Cheng's heart moved. He had suggested that Yi Ji befriend Jia Nidao. Of course, although it was to say something amusing to his junior brother Zhang Zheng. However, it seems that Yi Ji took it seriously.

Jia Rudao asked now, most likely it means that Yi Ji really came to the door.

So he replied, "Yes." ”

Jia Rudao asked again: "Then Chen Daxia still knows Runzhou Xuanfu to guard the frontier?" ”

Chen Cheng persuaded Ma Shoujiang that day, but Ma Shoujiang didn't seem to think so. That night, Ma Wencheng tried a few words, Chen Cheng didn't know if this was really talking about something, or if he wanted to take advantage of himself under the pretext, so he didn't dare to talk more.

To be honest, he was very afraid of Ma Wencheng. Ma Chunhua is also afraid of Ma Wencheng.

Then he replied, "Yes." ”

"Oops, win, win, win. My great general is actually dead. Chen Daxia is worthy of being a hero, and even the crickets he raises are all chivalrous warriors who 'kill one person in ten steps and do not stay for a thousand miles'. Jia Rudao nodded with satisfaction, and immediately someone came to collect the crickets.

Jia Rudao put down the bamboo stick in his hand and said: "This official is here to come to Lin'an, and he has calculated a hexagram to ask the good luck." The answer given by the real person is that he is either jumping into the abyss and entering without blame. ”

The translation is: the dragon may jump into a deep pool, indicating that it can make a difference without disaster.

This is a flat hexagram. Shao Yong, a scholar of the Northern Song Dynasty, interpreted it as "Those who get this are very difficult".

Chen Cheng didn't know much anyway, he thought it was meant: there is nothing wrong with moving forward. This belongs to the righteousness of the text.

Jia Yidao looked at Chen Cheng's expression and knew that he didn't understand. Although he was not born as a Jinshi, but because he entered the Shishi because of the shade of the door, he naturally has some knowledge.

However, he didn't show off in front of the people in the rivers and lakes, and the words behind him were a little more straightforward: "The real person said that if he meets a noble person this time, he will inevitably turn evil into good fortune, and from then on he will be like a dragon out of the abyss, and he will be profitable." I asked him what kind of person he was. He said overlapping words. I said that my sister is a mother, and a mother is a word. The father-in-law in the palace is a nobleman. In the end, I think that the self-interested person must be the Tatar. ”

Hearing this, Chen Cheng finally twitched in his face. It is no wonder that this Tatar is a nobleman, and he believes in non-resistance.

Jia Rudao said again: "Until I met you, I didn't know that it was Chen Cheng." You are my nobleman. ”

Chen Cheng was happy when he heard this, this southern front and back nasal sound is not distinguished, plus this feudal superstition, together it has a miraculous effect.

Jia Rudao said again: "Sure enough, as soon as I know you, this gang in Changsha and the Xuanfu envoy in Runzhou have all made friends, and they are indeed lucky generals." ”

Chen Cheng had no choice but to say: "Don't dare to be." ”

Jia Rudao said: "It's not whether you dare or not, but whether you are." Yes, yes. So I'd like to hear about your birthday. ”

Here, Jia Yidao's favorite concubine Nan also invited Ma Chunhua and Qu Feiyan to the side to drink rock sugar pears.

Nan said with a smile: "My sister is really a delicate person. ”

Ma Chunhua was born as a girl in the countryside, even if she is actually rich now, she is still inevitably cramped in front of nobles, and she is a little helpless and says: "Madam, you are really a beauty." ”

Actually, I really want to say beautiful. This Nan clan is really not necessarily stronger than Ma Chunhua. However, she dresses and talks about her temperament, which she has cultivated since she was a child, and she looks richer.

Nan didn't say much, only said, "Don't call me Mrs. anymore." My family officials have the heart to support your husband. Besides, your husband is still my savior. Just call me sister. ”

Ma Chunhua was even more flattered and said: "This, how can this be ......?"

Nan said, "Why can't it? My sister will talk about her birthday first. ”

After Ma Chunhua said it, Nan also said his own, and then asked her to wait, and went to find two hand towels by herself, and embroidered them with eight characters for exchange.

Ma Chunhua didn't know much about women, her face was crimson, but she couldn't say anything, which ruined Nan's enthusiasm, so she went. Then I sat there alone, and I was very nervous, and the more I sitted, the more nervous I became, so I wanted to go to the toilet.

It happened that Qu Feiyan drank sugar water and wanted it too, so the two went to the thatched house together under the leadership of the maid. When the two went to the toilet, it happened that the maid was called by a grandmother, saying that she was looking for something from the little master.

The two of them came out, and when they saw that there was no one waiting outside, they came back by themselves.

Walking to a place, Ma Chunhua overheard someone talking in the house, only to hear a man say: "Ma Chunhua." ”

She and Qu Feiyan glanced at each other, and they both felt strange. The two got along day and night, and they had quite a tacit understanding, so they nodded and walked quietly towards the room together.

In fact, with Ma Chunhua's little effort, it is also a little difficult to avoid ordinary martial arts practitioners without being noticed. But this is the back house of Jiafu, how can there be any warriors. So no one really could hear her.

When she got closer, she heard the voice of a woman inside, who was the Nan clan who had just said that she wanted to marry her.

Nan said: "Real person, you know, the master has always believed your criticism. ”

The real man said, "Have you missed what the poor man said?" Did after getting acquainted with Chen Cheng, Master Jia made a few small fortunes? This is the destiny of Lord Wangja. ”

Nan said: "Of course, it's because of Master Wang's life, otherwise where does the master need to be polite to him." A few stinky people who ran away from the rivers and lakes, didn't they think that they would save the lives of adults and climb the high branches? Just give a thousand taels of silver, and you'll be sent away. They have never seen so much money in their lives. I can't help but be grateful to Dade and nod my head. ”

Ma Chunhua felt a chill in her heart when she heard this. She just felt that this woman was beautiful, gentle and graceful, and she was a noble lady who she could not reach in her life. Now I feel that the other party's words are mean and hateful.

Qu Feiyan drew a number "ten" for her. This means that they have ten boxes of jewels, and that they have not seen a thousand taels of silver, which is really underestimating them.

The real person inside snorted and didn't say anything.

Nan said again: "But now you say that the surname Chen can't be prosperous, what do you mean?" ”

The real person's voice was a little strange: "Madame, I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm wrong, right?" How could I ever say that Chen Chengwang can't ...... with Lord Zhishu?"

Nan interrupted the real person and said, "Yes, you said that Chen Cheng's eight characters can help the old man go straight to the clouds." But he also said that his wife Ma Chunhua will hinder the master, what do you mean by that...... Eh, are you saying to let Chen Cheng divorce his wife? ”

Outside the house, Ma Chunhua's reaction had never been so fast, and she covered Qu Feiyan's mouth that was almost screaming. She herself was so angry that her whole body trembled.
