Qin Que saw his cousin rushing out of the study and couldn't even scream. Then he saw Zhou Xuan coming out and asked, "Mr. Zhou, what's wrong with your cousin?"

Zhou Xuan said innocently: "Isn't it just playing chess? How can I do to your cousin? I didn't expect that he couldn't afford to lose even a game of chess, and I didn't bet with him anything. As for this!"

Qin Que also felt that he was asking a little too much, so he apologized in a low voice, so he quickly walked to the front yard to knock on the door where his cousin lived.

Luan shouted inside, "Don't bother me."

Qin Que said: "Cousin, it's me. I have already packed a house in the inner courtyard. You can move in and live with the servants. What does it look like when you live with the servants."

Lu An said: "There is a Zhou surnamed in the inner courtyard. I won't go unless you ask him to change it with me. He lives here and I will live in your boudoir."

Of course, Qin Que knew that it was impossible to ask Zhou Xuan to live here and said, "Cousin, Mr. Zhou is an outsider, why are you fighting with him?"

"Outsider?" Lu An said sarcastically: "Okay, the outsider fell into the inner courtyard, but I will live in the room of the lower-class person?"

Qin Que said: "Didn't my cousin insist on living here yesterday? Que'er advised you to move in, but you refused."

Lu An remembered that Zhou Xuan smiled and coaxed him to the housekeeper's room yesterday. He thought he was kind-hearted and was extremely embarrassed and angry. He shouted: "I believe Xiaodi's words now. Children will not lie. You must play chess with Zhou's lasting nights until very late. Otherwise, why do you know so much about his chess skills? If you know I will definitely not be able to play him! Cousin, have you changed your mind?"

Qin Que was both ashamed and anxious. His servants Laifu and Song Dachun were right beside him, but his cousin was talking nonsense and couldn't help crying. He ran back to the inner courtyard in tears.

Lu An didn't know that Qin Que had left, and asked inside: "Cousin, do you think you have changed your mind? Do you like the one named Zhou?" After asking several times, he didn't hear the answer. When he opened the door, he saw the big servant Lai Fu standing outside and said in a rough voice: "Master Cousin, since you know everything, you still ask what's the point of asking, and you don't know how to be implicit at all!"

Lai Fu followed Zhou Xuan for a few days and his eloquence was obviously good.

*********************

The first day of August is the happy day when the "Super Autumn War Hall" is opened. Zhou Xuan got up early, dressed brightly and looked full of spring breeze. He invited his father-in-law and mother-in-law to attend the opening ceremony. Dr. Qin was unable to go because of medical treatment. Mrs. Qin was worried about the quarrel between her nephew and daughter, so she didn't go. Finally, it was Sewing Needle, Xiaodi, Xiaoxi and Zhou Xuan.

Etiquette is indispensable, Zhou Xuan also invited Lu An to go. Lu An's eyes were facing the sky and his nostrils were breathless, and Zhou Xuan gave up with a smile.

Xiaoqian secretly told Zhou Xuan that the lady cried all night last night.

Zhou Xuan felt a little distressed, but thinking that this was the beginning of the emotional rift between cousins, it was a good thing for him.

Three carriages from the Protectorate's Mansion arrived. On such a festive day, Lin Hanyun was still in a servant's uniform, but his actions were very flamboyant, commanding this and that.

Zhou Xuan saw the plaque in the store. The five big words "Super Qiu Zhantang" were indeed written in a very handsome and extraordinary way, but unfortunately, there was no signature or the words "Fenghua Jiedushi Lin Dai's title". After asking, he found out that Lin Hanyun did not allow her father to sign, saying that the words were too many and too crowded and not good-looking.

Zhou Xuan was speechless. Lin Hanyun usually looked very clever. How could he do such a fool? He knew to ask her father and the governor of the state to cut the ribbon. However, he didn't know that the plaque was not about the quality of the calligraphy but about the level of his official position. It seems that the trend of high-ranking officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty was not popular yet, and their concepts were backward.

Everyone came to Banxian Street, Laohetang. Liao Yin and Cuihua led Wangcai and two other young men to clean up the "Super Autumn War Hall" inside and out, with the fragrance of the tea room and the cry of autumn insects, and a busy and prosperous scene.

Zhou Xuan first asked someone to hang the plaque on the shop, covering it with red silk. When it opened, he used a pair of scissors to cut off the tied red silk belt. The red silk fell off and exposed the plaque. This is called ribbon cutting.

There is no firecrackers set off in Banxian Street because it is a cricket street. Firecrackers will startle crickets, but with the eight large flower baskets, the festive atmosphere is already very strong.

As Chen hour approached (9:00 a.m.), the heroes arrived one after another. Boss Feng from "Mufeng Tower" accompanied Boss Wang from Jiangzhou City, the other two major insect clubs - "Golden Feng Club" and Boss Zhang from "Zhongyi Hall". They all gave gifts. Zhou Xuan had to exchange greetings and said that they had long admired each other.

When Chen Shi arrived, Zhou Xuan stood in front of the store and said loudly: "On this golden wind, the good day of the fragrance of osmanthus is coming. After the group is free, the insect friends gather, and the 'Super Autumn War Hall' has opened. I believe that with the strong support of you, the 'Super Autumn War Hall' will make great contributions to the cricket entertainment industry in Jiangzhou. Let me ask my brother Lin Heishan and Miss Lin Er of the Protectorate' to cut the ribbon for our store, and everyone applauds."

Amid the warm applause, Lin Hanyun, who was wearing a small hat and holding scissors, was so excited that her cheeks turned red. Before Lin Heishan could move the scissors, she took the lead and cut off the red ribbon. Half of the red silk covering the plaque fell. Lin Heishan quickly cut off the other side, and the red silk fell to the ground, and the five big words "Super Qiu Zhantang" were revealed.

Standing at He Kewaiyan, two people did not applaud. One was clear and thin, dressed as a scholar, and the other was a follower, carrying a big box in his hand, covered with blue silk.

Lai Fu's brother Wangcai was particularly excited to serve the new owner. When he saw the big box in his follower's hand, he thought he was here to give gifts, so he enthusiastically went up to him and wanted to pick up the big blue silk box. Unexpectedly, the follower flashed and refused to give it to him.

The thin scholar and others stopped applause and spoke: "Your hall will open today. I will come here to fight with insects."

The guests suddenly became silent. Someone came to challenge the insect store as soon as it opened, which was obviously here to make trouble.

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "The one who broke the scene is here. Who is the messenger behind the scenes? Wu Gongcao, Wu Kuan and his son? I only had a marriage with the father and son in Jiangzhou. Fatty Wu must be extremely unwilling to lose 3,000 taels of silver." He smiled and said, "Welcome, may I ask if I have a name for my surname?"

The thin literary scholar said: "I have loved fighting insects all my life, and I left after fighting, so why bother asking for my name?"

"I'll fight if I fight, I'm afraid of you!" Lin Hanyun relied on the Qingming General "Zhang He" who had a central government, and was confident.

The name is unwilling to be said, it is very mysterious. Zhou Xuan asked: "Brother, can you let me see your insect?"

The thin scholar raised his hand and said, "But it's okay."

The follower walked into the middle of the "Super Qiu Zhan Hall" with a big box, placed the box on the long ebony table, uncovered the blue silk, and saw three exquisite black pots in the big wooden box. The pots were covered with lids and tiny breathable holes.

The thin scholar uncovered the lids of the three black pots one by one and said to Zhou Xuan: "Please--"

Zhou Xuan and Lin Hanyun came over to see each other, and their heads collided. Lin Hanyun gave him a blank look and rubbed his forehead.

Zhou Xuan glanced at the clay pot and couldn't help but take a breath of air: the three crickets in these three clay pots were all general-level green-backed crickets!
