Chapter 97 is blessed

Wang Cheng thought that he didn't have the face to go back to see his grandmother, wandering inside and outside the room, and he really couldn't think of a way. When you see a person fighting a quail, a gamble is worth thousands of dollars, and every quail bought is always more than a hundred dollars. He suddenly moved his heart, calculated the money in his baggage, which was only enough to sell quails, and discussed this with the master's family, who persuaded him very much to do it, and agreed to let him live here to eat and drink, regardless of his shop money.

Wang Cheng was very pleased, so he set out, bought a whole load of quails, and entered the capital. The host was overjoyed, congratulated him and told him to sell it quickly. In the evening, it rained heavily until dawn. When the day dawned, the water on the street was like a river, and the rain was still dripping. Wang Cheng lived and waited for the sunny day, but the rain continued for several days and did not stop at all. He got up to look inside the cage, where the quails were slowly dying. Wang Cheng was so scared that he couldn't think of any way. After a while, more people died. There were only a few left, so they were kept in a cage. After a night of looking, there was only one quail left. So he told the master, and before he knew it, tears fell, and the host felt sorry for him.

Wang Cheng couldn't go back after calculating the silver by himself, he just wanted to seek death, and the master was shocked, not to mention whether he would do business if he died here, and then he couldn't see death without help, so the master had to persuade and comfort him.

The two went to see the quail together, and the owner looked at it carefully and said, "This looks like a great thing." The death of those quails may not have been the result of it killing them. You don't have anything to do when you're idle, so please play with it, and if it's still tame, you can make a living by gambling and fighting. ”

Wang Cheng felt that it made sense, so he did as he said. The quail was already tame, and the master asked him to take it to the street to gamble with others. His quail is very athletic and always wins. The host family was very happy, handed over the silver taels to Wang Cheng, and asked him to gamble with the children of the big family, and won three battles and three victories. In half a year, he has accumulated more than 20 taels of silver. Wang Cheng felt even more comforted, and he looked at the quail as if it were his own life.

Before that, the eldest prince liked quails, and every time he came to the Shangyuan Festival, he always let the folk people who played with quails enter the house to gamble on quails. The host said to Wang Cheng: "Now the great wealth should be available immediately, but I don't know what is wrong, it is your life." So she told him why it was and led him to go with him. He was instructed to say, "If you are defeated, then come out discouraged." If one in 10,000 your quail wins, the prince will definitely want to buy it, and you don't agree. If you have to force you, then you just look at what I mean, wait for me to nod and agree to you. ”

Wang Cheng said: "It's good. When he arrived at the palace, he saw the quail man standing shoulder to shoulder at the foot of the steps. After a while, the prince appeared in the main hall. The people on the right and left announced, "Someone who is willing to fight the quail has come up." And a man went in with a quail and his head bowed. The prince ordered his quail to be released, and the visitors to release their quails. As soon as the two quails fought each other, the visiting quail was already defeated. The prince laughed. It didn't take long for several people to come up and fail again.

The host said, "It's okay." "Both of them wanted to go up with them.

The prince looked at his quail and said, "There is anger in his eyes, this is a strong quail, and I cannot underestimate it." "Let him bring his own quail named Ironbeak to resist Wang Cheng's. After two fights, the prince's quail was defeated. So the prince chose another good quail, but he was defeated and replaced. The prince then hurriedly ordered someone to fetch the quail from the palace. It didn't take long to take it out, and I saw that the white feathers were like herons, and their spirit was extraordinary.

Wang Cheng was discouraged, so he knelt down and begged to stop, saying, "The king's quail is a god-like thing, I am afraid that I will hurt my quail and lose my livelihood." ”

The prince was about to find his way back, and he would not give up, so he smiled and said, "Let it go, if your quail gambles to death, I will compensate you generously." ”

Wang Cheng then released the quail. The quail ran straight for it. When the quail was coming, Wang Cheng's quail was just lying on its stomach like an angry rooster waiting for it; when the quail pecked it hard, it flew up like a big crane to attack the quail; the two advanced and retreated, and held each other for more than an hour. The quail slowly slackened, but its anger intensified, and the fight became more urgent. It didn't take long for the white feathers to fall off, and the quail had fledgled with its wings down. There are so many people who look at it, and there is no one who is not admired and envied.

The prince then asked Wang Cheng for his quail to play with it himself, looked at it in detail from his mouth to his paws, and asked Wang Cheng, "Can you buy your quail?"

Wang Cheng replied: "The villain has no stable career, and he depends on this quail for his life, and he is unwilling to sell it." ”

The prince said, "I will reward you with a lot of money, and you can get the assets of ordinary people." Would you still like to?"

Wang Cheng lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and said: "I didn't want to sell it, but since the king likes it, if the villain gets the capital to live, what else can I ask for?"

When the prince asked him the price, he replied a thousand taels of silver.

The prince smiled and said, "What a stupid man! What kind of treasure is this, worth a thousand taels of silver?"

Wang Cheng said: "The king is not regarded as a treasure, but I think that the jade that is even worth the city cannot compare to it." ”

The prince said, "What do you say?"

Wang Cheng said: "The villain took it to the street, earned a few taels of silver every day, in exchange for a liter of rice millet, a family of more than ten people, there is no worry about freezing and starving, what kind of treasure can compare to it?"

The prince said, "I will not do you any wrong, so I will give you two hundred denarii." ”

Wang Cheng shook his head. The prince has increased by one hundred taels, Wang Cheng looked at the master's house, and the master's face did not change at all. So he said, "Back to the king's words, I ask for only one hundred taels to be subtracted." ”

The prince said, "It's over!" Who will exchange nine hundred taels for a quail!" Wang Cheng then packed up the quail and wanted to go.

The prince called and said, "Bring the quail, bring the quail! I will give you six hundred taels, and you will sell it if you are willing, otherwise it will be forgotten." ”

Wang Cheng looked at the master's house again, and the master's family was still calm. Wang Cheng's heart was full of wishes, lest he lose the opportunity, and said: "I am really not happy to sell with this amount, but the transaction is not successful, then I will be greatly punished, and there is no way, so I agree with what the king said." The prince was overjoyed, and immediately had the scales handed over to him. Wang Cheng wrapped up the silver, and thanked him for the reward.

The master complained, "I said what, but you yourself are in a hurry to sell it? Wang Cheng went back, threw the silver on the table, and asked the master to take it himself, but the master did not want it. insisted on letting him take it, and the host's family counted the food money and took the silver taels.

Wang Cheng packed up and went back, and when he got home, he told in detail what he had done in the capital, and took out the silver to celebrate together. The mother-in-law bought 300 acres of fertile land, built a house and bought utensils, just like a family.
