"Brother, how about we go to that teahouse to listen to books this afternoon? We can save money on the lunch meal."

That morning, just after eating, Xiao Ji leaned over and said to Zhou Qinchuan with a wink.

"Okay, go and say hello to your sister Yourong, so that she won't know where we are going and worry about it."

Zhou Qinchuan responded without hesitation.

There was no way, and going to a teahouse to listen to books became his way of entertainment.

Two days ago, Su Yourong was afraid of wind and cold, so she couldn't go out of the room. She still needed them to help cook porridge, simmer medicine in the inn and kitchen, and serve soup and water. Although she was neither busy nor tired, she couldn't leave.

The two brothers took the time to wander around the inn.

Since yesterday, Su Yourong's condition has improved a lot, and even they don't need their help in this little busy. The two of them have completely free time and have begun to make a good move in Luqiao Town.

Although Luqiao Town is not a prefecture and county government, it is adjacent to Zhaoyang Lake on the canal to the south, and there are several rivers injected from east to west. It can be regarded as an important town with a radius of hundreds of miles. Its prosperity is the first to be seen since the Zhou and Qinchuan crossed.

There are various docks of different sizes on both sides of the canal, and ships by the river are large and small, coming and going, making people dizzy.

Along the river bank, there are densely packed shops, restaurants, inns, teahouses, and even tile houses. The scale of houses and the crowds are far beyond the reach of Guanyang Maoyang, and even the towns I encountered along the way.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had already shown signs of a prosperous country.

Zhou Qinchuan noticed that such a prosperous town had no city walls, and there were no soldiers and yamen runners checking their identities. Only then could the three of them come in and see a doctor in the hospital and settle down in the inn.

After going through this trip, the two of them dared not eat as much as they used to, unless the food was not only good but also had a tempting smell. Then they ate a little bit and tasted it briefly.

It was midsummer and the sun quickly made the brothers sweat profusely. Just when they were thirsty, a teahouse appeared on the roadside in time.

When Zhou Qinchuan asked about the price, he would cost 40 cents a pot of tea, and he would drink tea as soon as he could. Not only would he have free refreshments, but he could also hear the comments from scholars.

At that time, Xiao Ji's eyes lit up. Zhou Qinchuan thought that although the money for tea was a little expensive, it was a good deal to save lunch with the snacks I had just eaten.

It was agreed. The two of them stayed together in the teahouse for an afternoon, filled with tea, and listened to the comments for a long time.

When I was in Guanyang before, Zhou Qinchuan had inconvenient legs and feet, and was not worthy of money. He had never heard of comments. He was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Ji so obsessed with this.

When I heard this yesterday, I deeply admired the skills of these storytellers.

The story is not new. Kong Ming in the Three Kingdoms pays homage to Zhou Yu, but he relies on his words to make the whole process go ups and downs, and it seems to be more exciting than the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Zhou Qinchuan, who had read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, was also addicted to it, let alone Xiao Ji.

Xiao Ji was concerned about Kong Ming's life and death, so he naturally wanted to listen to it today, and Zhou Qinchuan had nothing to do.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to read, but he finally has a book shop in Luqiao Town.

However, at this time, the Ming Dynasty was far from the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty after Zhengde, and the book shop naturally had no entertainment books. Almost all of them were books related to scientific research, which made Zhou Qinchuan feel dizzy.

I also thought that I had to go north, and books were expensive and heavy, which was really a burden, so I stopped buying books to read and taking the opportunity to enjoy myself.

Going to a teahouse to listen to books is not only a good way to enjoy it, but also a good place to solve lunch.

If you don’t have enough refreshments, just order a bowl of noodles for each person, which is affordable. If you spend time in a teahouse, it is more cost-effective than shopping.

When Xiao Ji saw Zhou Qinchuan's reunion, he was overjoyed. He was afraid that his brother would feel sorry for the money and was unwilling to go.

I was obediently going upstairs, but I soon returned to the inn lobby:

"Sister Yourong's door is closed, I can't knock on the door."

"Then forget it, let's go."

Su Yourong has been a little drowsy these two days and often slept in darkness. Zhou Qinchuan was not worried. This was a sign of body recovery and needed to make up for the previous deficiency through sleep.

Just say hello to the inn shopkeeper, and Su Yourong will know where his brother is going after a while.

As soon as the two brothers left the inn gate, Xiao Ji cleared his throat and signaled Zhou Qinchuan to be cautious.

Zhou Qinchuan looked around and saw several idle men surrounding the inn. When they saw them, they glanced at them quickly, and then continued chatting as if nothing had happened.

Although they were secretly doing things, they couldn't help but feel alert in their hearts.

These were several pickpockets. Although they had never dealt with such people at Guan Yang, they had seen what they did. Their appearance could be different, but their vulgarity and greed were exactly the same, which was very despised by Zhou Qinchuan.

Before, the two sides did not interfere with each other, and there was no intersection. After Xiao Ji and Xiao Beggar's profit increased greatly, the thieves were jealous and wanted to use their means to them. After being filled with old fists by the guard beggar, they became honest only after they were honest.

Yesterday, Zhou Qinchuan and Xiao Ji identified their identities and had been careful.

Fortunately, the two brothers are dressed in ordinary clothes and are definitely not wealthy people. Under normal circumstances, they will not attract these pickpockets to spy on them. They just need to hide their own money.

Zhou Qinchuan did not change his expression or did any moves. He continued to move forward as if nothing had happened, and only secretly paid attention to the lining of his inner clothes, which was his and Xiao Ji's entire wealth.

In dealing with pickpockets, in addition to not being too conspicuous in their clothes, they cannot protect the place where the money is hidden on their bodies with a nervous expression. Instead, they pointed out the direction for these people. These are the experiences that Guan Yang and the beggars usually brag and fuck and exchanged.

Not to mention that the Zhou and Qinchuan brothers went to the street to find a teahouse to listen to the comments, and Su Yourong woke up and washed up and wanted to find the two bodyguards, but found that they were completely gone.

After asking the shopkeeper, I learned that the two brothers went to the teahouse to listen to books again. I realized that they were in good health today, so I might as well go on a walk, exercise my muscles and find these two people by the way.

It was already the last moment of Shen Zheng. It was the time to eat glutinous food. Su Yourong felt that her appetite was growing loud and she didn't want to deal with it in the inn anymore. She just happened to call the two brothers to find a restaurant and have a good meal.

So after asking the inn shopkeeper, he found out where the teahouse was located and the most famous restaurant in the town, he still changed into men's clothes and went out.

As soon as I got to the street, I felt that people were coming and going, and it was very lively. I quickly raised my hand, tightened the bag she hid on her waist, and then went in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper.

I had no idea behind him, and the pickpockets who had just glanced at Zhou Qinchuan had already secretly spread the scene.
