Twenty-two, talking and winning money

On the first day of September, Zhou Xuan brought Lai Fu and Sanchi out of the south gate of Jiangzhou City and headed towards Hongzhou. He had already asked Fairy Jingyi for a leave of absence when he was studying the tea ceremony last night. Lin Hanyun was not there at that time, Fairy Jingyi was silent and had no expression. Although he had been together for a long time, Fairy Jingyi treated Zhou Xuan like a cup of tea, which was neither tepid nor hot, and had a light fragrance.

Zhou Xuan chose Hongzhou because Hongzhou is a major prefecture in the Tang Dynasty, which is more prosperous than Jiangzhou and is close to Jiangzhou. There is another reason why he cannot tell others is that he has studied there for two years. Those poems, ancient Chinese, idle books and miscellaneous studies were all learned in Hongzhou, and Hongzhou is Nanchang.

Zhou Xuan borrowed three horses from Lao Dong and rode them on the road with Sanchi and Lai Fu. Dr. Qin, Qin Que, Sewing Needle, Abu and Liao Yin were sent out several miles from the south gate. Zhou Xuan and his two little wives sat in the carriage and said goodbye. They were inevitably hugging each other and told thousands of instructions—

Farewell is an art of life. Not to mention sending you to Nanpu, Yishui, leaving you with a strong farewell, carrying Yu to join the army, and going to the country farewell, even if the couple has a small separation, it can also enhance their relationship. Zhou Xuan's temporary departure has touched Qin Que and the two women of Yanting Needle, and they often don't feel it in front of you. Now, when you say you want to go out for a few days, you feel that you can't live without your husband for a moment, and it's hard to part with it.

Zhou Xuan hugged him left and right and smiled, "I just went to relax and I will come back in half a month at most, but I have one thing that I can't worry about. I wonder if Queer, can I share my husband's worries?"

The two girls didn't know what Zhou Xuan was worried about? They asked hurriedly: "My husband, please tell me, we must do our best as our husband's instructions."

"real?"

"Really!" The two women made a solemn promise.

"Okay." Zhou Xuan said seriously: "You two have to wear the little one that our Australian wife must wear. This made You husband sigh. I hope that when I come back this time, you both have already put on the little one. That will be a big surprise for You husband."

"Ah!" The two girls didn't expect that their husband was talking about this. Both of them were blushing with shame. "I can't agree." It's not good to agree, and it's not good not to agree, so they are in a difficult situation.

Zhou Xuan smiled and kissed the two girls on the cheeks, saying, "Think carefully, I will miss you every day when I am outside."

Zhou Xuan got off the car and got on the horse, bowed to Dr. Qin and said, "Please go back, sir, please go back now." He then told Abu and Liao Yin a few words, and the three of them rode on the road.

After leaving the suburbs of the city, fewer houses and more farmland, and more cars and horses were coming and going on the official roads. This shows the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. Jiangzhou was a land of fish and rice. Emperor Li Yu was light taxes and paid less taxes, and he was spared for 40 years. The people of Jiangzhou were generally rich, and there were almost no food or clothing.

Lai Fu said, "Son-in-law, don't look at this peaceful sect, there are also strong people and thieves. My brother Wangcai was robbed in De'an last year."

Zhou Xuan glanced at Sanchi and smiled and said, "This is normal. No matter how rich you are, someone will be a robber. That is a profession and interest."

Lai Fu carried 300 taels of silver on the road this time and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Son-in-law, what if you encounter a robber?"

"There is a sword slave!" Zhou Xuan pointed at Sanchi: "The sword slave is very good at fighting. I must be holding back my energy after so many days of idleness, but he only protects me and will not care about your life or death. If you encounter a robber, you will leave the money and run first."

Lai Fu turned his head to look at Sanchi. He didn't know that this indifferent guy was the famous assassin Sanchi. He only knew that this guy never paid attention to others besides being respectful to his son-in-law. He was also a servant? What's so great about it? Lengbingbingbing took care of others. Who owed you money?

Zhou Xuan was very proud of Sanchi wearing a servant uniform. How could he still look like a handsome and casual look when he entered my Zhou Mansion like before? Wear me the uniform of a servant in Zhou Mansion, haha!

Seeing Sanchi wearing a slut, wearing a mate's hat and two pieces of clothes, Zhou Xuan wanted to laugh, and it felt like he had succeeded in the prank. However, Sanchi was Sanchi after all. Although she was dressed as a servant, the killer temperament that had been developed for many years was still revealed in his inadvertent eyes, and stood out in his cap. Among a group of servants, Sanchi was the best.

Before he could travel ten miles, he heard the sound of hooves behind him, and he rode closer and closer.

Lai Fu was nervous: "Son-in-law, did you come for us? Did you look at us in the city and know that we have money, so you rob us?"

Zhou Xuan rode on the horse and turned his head to look. He was myopic and could not see clearly in the distance. He only saw a big dark horse that seemed to be coming and going, saying, "No, this person dares to rob the official road where people come and go! Lai Fu, you are fussing, this person has something urgent to go."

Unexpectedly, Sanchi stopped the horse and stared at the big dark horse that was running closer and closer, as if he was waiting for the battle. Could it be a robber?

After rushing to thirty meters away, Zhou Xuan saw clearly that there was no big dark horse, it was a white-nosed black mule, and the mule was riding the four fools dressed as a scholar.

"Zhou Xuan, where do you want to take my senior brother?"

The four fools caught up and stared at Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan shook his head, and it would not take long to purify himself for a few days. The four illegitimate souls were entangled with him!

"He is my sword slave, so I can handle it. I want to take him to Hongzhou to see if he can sell it at a good price."

"Hmph, I don't know you dare!"

Zhou Xuan ignored him and called Lai Fu to rush forward.

Siqi followed him on a mule. Seeing that Sanqi was dressed like a servant, she was so angry that she said angrily: "Zhou Xuan, why do you look down on my senior brother so much? You really treat him as a person now!"

Lai Fu didn't like to listen to these words and said roughly: "Don't underestimate the servants, especially the servants of the Zhou Mansion. When I talked about me outside, I envy me and were a little jealous. It's not that the servants of the Zhou Mansion have high commissions, but our son-in-law never despises us, which makes us often feel proud of being a servant."

Lai Fu has been with Zhou Xuan these days, and he is influenced by his eyes and speaks with great sensation.

Sanchi said lightly: "Fourth brother, Brother Yu is now a Jiannu of Master Zhou, and he is actually worse than a servant. The master treats me well, so the fourth brother doesn't have to argue about these things."

Seeing that the senior brother said this, it would be difficult for the attack. Siqi stared at Zhou Xuan hatefully and followed him reluctantly.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Where are you going?"

Sichi turned his head and looked at Shulin running around: "You can't control wherever I go. I can't walk as I like."

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "Why does this taste so strange? It's like Lin Hanyun's tone!" He said: "I'll be able to control you soon. When you become my tea slave, I'll let you put on your servant's clothes and train you well."

The four cynical creatures were furious. If the three cynical creatures were not stopping him with their eyes, it seemed that he wanted to commit a crime.

It was a great trip, but because the four fools were mixed in, there was no feeling of comfort and comfort. Along the way, the four fools were no match for Zhou Xuan, and they were so angry that they were so angry that they were itchy.

Sichi heard the sound of insects coming from the wooden box tied to the front of Zhou Xuan’s saddle. He was also a worm. When he heard the sound of insects, he started to attack and asked, "What kind of insect are you?"

Zhou Xuan asked him back: "Where is your 'tiger silly Xu Chu'?"

The Sichi said: "That was borrowed from someone and has been returned."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid I'm stealing."

The Sichi did not refute and said, "Let me see your insect."

Although the Sizi was very annoyed by Zhou Xuan, he still admired Zhou Xuan's insect art. Last time he took a small pill from Zhou Xuanbo fish bag in Lushan. After thinking about it, he didn't figure out the mystery. He asked the pharmacist who was proficient in medicine. The pharmacist licked it with his tongue and said a few names of the medicine, but he could not introduce the prescription instead, because the relationship between the monarch and ministers between various medicines is very important. If the dosage is wrong, the medicinal properties will change drastically. The cricket is such a small thing, and if there is a slight mistake, he will die.

So when Sizi saw Zhou Xuan solemnly bringing a bug on the road, the bug must be extraordinary. He really wanted to see what kind of bug it was?

Zhou Xuan said: "It's still early for us to make a small bet first, and use my bug to bet. Guess what color it is? If you guess correctly, I asked you to follow us all the way. If you didn't guess correctly, I asked you to follow us too. But you have to shut up and lose one tael of silver to me if you say one sentence, two taels of silver, and so on."

For Zhou Xuan, you should not bet at all times and you should not bet on anything.

Sichi asked with a slanted eye: "If you lose, you will not lose at all?"

Zhou Xuan said: "Didn't you tell me that if you win, you will follow me. Then I have to endure your noise and feel very unhappy. Isn't this a huge loss?"

Siqi said angrily: "You are so unfair. How can you bet like this? I won, and you are not allowed to speak."

Zhou Xuan said: "I will decide the bet, I will participate in the bet voluntarily, and no one will force you to bet." Riding on a horse, "de" moves forward.

Sichi was so angry that he had no choice. He got nothing after winning the bet, but he had to shut up and couldn't speak. It was so outrageous! He expected that Zhou Xuan's wooden box would be the "intangible" of the monster worm that won the "famous general Zhang He". He did not participate in the gambling that day, and had never seen what "intangible" looks like, but you could hear comments about the insect battle everywhere in the restaurants and teahouses, and knew that "intangible" was a black-backed worm.

The black-backed worm can beat the blue-backed worm. The four cynical worms can't believe their ears. As a cynical worm, it must see what they want. They gritted their teeth and rushed the mule and said, "I'll bet."

Zhou Xuan smiled. He knew that Sizi would definitely be gambled and asked, "Then do you think the bugs in my box are red or yellow?"

Sichi stared at Zhou Xuan's eyes and saw him looking confident in winning, he thought to himself: "Isn't it that black back 'can't touch'? It's impossible, Zhou Xuan is the most cunning, betting with me with the easiest to guess things, wanting me to go astray and think that simple things are complicated. Humph, the black back in the box is 'can't touch'!"

Zhou Xuan also said, "Black back? Are you sure?"

The Sichi said loudly: "Stop being mysterious, open the box and let me see it."

Zhou Xuan jumped off the horse's back, untied the wooden box, placed it on a stone on the side of the road, and smiled and took out a black pot from the box.

The four fools hurriedly went to see the black pottery jar was empty.

Zhou Xuan slowly took out a five-inch-long bamboo tube from the box and poured it into the black pot. A dark red cricket swam quickly in the pot.

The four fools were stunned.

Zhou Xuan said, "You lost." He put away the crickets, put them back on the wooden box, and tied them back to the saddle.

Si was stunned for a while and suddenly shouted, "This is a three-tailed female cricket. Is it a 'untouchable' mating, right?"

Zhou Xuanying said: "Yes, one tael of silver."

When Sichi heard this, he began to calculate a word for ten taels of silver for him! He asked loudly: "I can't touch it, so it's also in the wooden box?"

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, two taels of silver, pay quickly."

"What money should I pay!" Sichi said angrily: "You are cheating, shameless!"

Zhou Xuan taught him a lesson: "Since you want to bet, you have to think carefully. You should ask clearly how many insects are in my box? In fact, there is no need to ask at all. You should have thought of such a fierce insect like "can't touch" and is full of energy. How can you get rid of female insects? So your failure is not accidental, it is all your own fault. You blame yourself for being unscrupulous and impetuous. I guess the level of Go should be far from your third senior brother."

At this time, Sanchi said, "Fourth brother, you should go back to Yandang Mountain."

Sichi was so angry that his head was dizzy and asked, "Brother San, do you think I would lose to him even if I fight tea?"

Three fools don't answer.

Lai Fu said, "You have said four words, four taels of silver."

The four fools were furious and took out a yellow gold ingot from the mule's leather bag and threw it at Zhou Xuan: "This is twenty taels of gold, enough for me to talk late all day long, I can say whatever I want."

Zhou Xuan quickly took the small gold ingot and asked Lai Fu to put it away, and smiled and said, "It's very good, even if you say that twenty taels of gold can say two thousand words, don't say it's less, otherwise you will lose a lot."

The Siniang opened his mouth and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Zhou Xuan was very unsatisfied and won twenty taels of gold as soon as he left Jiangzhou. It was such a great success. It seemed that this trip was really lucky.
