high official

Chapter 106
Speaking of playing crickets, Wang Xian didn't understand at all, but his predecessor, Wang Er, was a libertine who grew up playing with crickets, and when he grew up he couldn't do anything, he knew how to fight cock and dog, Shuanglu Pai Gow, dice and Cuju... Every autumn, the cricket fight is the highlight of the year. With the accumulation of time, there are naturally many experiences to be said.

"Speaking of which, although it is a tiny thing, it has six colors of blue, purple, yellow, black, white, and red. It is divided into 36 Tiangang stars and 72 Earth evil stars, a total of one hundred and eight generals. Among them, there are ever-changing, Unpredictable opportunity..."

"Wow..." Hei Zi was shocked, "Sure enough, he has a great spirit!"

"The first is the worm, which is the first step in playing with crickets. You have to find the most powerful one among thousands of crickets."

"Yeah, how do you meet the worms?" Hei kid nodded like pecking at rice.

"The ancients said that if you are close to vermilion, you will be red, and if you are close to ink, you will be black. The first step to meet insects is to look at the environment." Wang Xiandao: "Insects born in the grass and soil must be lazy, born between bricks and stones, they must be strong; in the shade, they must be delicate." , the sun must be inferior; it is better to come from barren mountains and secluded places."

"Then how do we meet the crickets in the remote areas?" Hei Xiaozi said: "There are too many crickets in the remote areas, so there must be good and bad."

"Of course, there is a way to look at insects." Wang Xian deeply regrets that he is still young and has no hair on his mouth. He cannot stroke his long beard and pretend to be a superior person. Like a centipede pincer, a mouth like a lion's mouth, a head like a dragonfly's head, and legs like a grasshopper's."

"Wait." Hei boy hurriedly interrupted him: "I'll get some notes." He said to the shopkeeper: "Please borrow a pen and paper."

The store owner also noticed that although the black young man was fierce-looking and his servants were also fierce, he was polite and unassuming, so he boldly smiled and said: "The opposite of our store is as famous as Hangzhou Louwailou. Suzhou Yunhe Tower, when you come to Suzhou, you must try his squirrel mandarin fish, clear big jade, original juice shark fin, snowflake crab bucket... In short, there are too many, why don't the two young masters move to Yunhe Tower and order Serving wine and food, chatting while eating..." Seeing the two men sulking at themselves, the shopkeeper shrank his neck and said with a bitter face: "This is a small shop, and the two young masters chatted here, and no customers have come in for a long time..."

"Say it earlier." Only then did Hei boy understand what he meant, he pulled Wang Xian and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat that squirrel..."

"It's squirrel mandarin fish." Wang Xian smiled and said, "I invite you to eat..."

"Are you kidding me? I'm learning art from you today, so of course I'm going to invite the master to dinner." Without further ado, the boy Hei dragged Wang Xian into the opposite Yunhe Tower.It was still early, and there were vacancies in the building. Hei boy asked for a private room upstairs, and he didn't even look at the menu, so he ordered the special dishes to be served... Wang Xian burst into tears, why did he look like a supporting role everywhere, It's very easy to meet someone who is not a handsome guy, but is still an authentic handsome and rich man.

"Continue quickly," Hei Shuaifu asked for a pen and paper from the restaurant, wrote down what Wang Xian just said, and urged him, "What about the four images?"

"Furthermore, it is judged from the color. The formula is 'white is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, red is not as good as yellow, and yellow is not as good as green'..." Wang Xian had a heart knot better than him, so he naturally used the kung fu of pressing the bottom of the box: "and There are five kinds of top crickets, called "Wujue", don't miss them when you encounter them. Among them, the one with red head and green neck and golden wings is one; Those with pockmarked heads, green neck and thick silver wings are the three musts; those with purple heads and white dew, thick green nape, and purple wings with wrinkles are the four musts; Those with white belly and white thighs and feet are the five unique..."

Wang Xian's mouth, which can bring the dead to life, talked about the cricket scriptures, and even the middle-aged people around him who had no interest in it listened with gusto.What's more, I have loved this way since I was a child, but my family has always prevented me from playing it. I am a black boy who is dissatisfied with desires... Although he loves to play with crickets, he is still in the stage of raising them blindly. Listening to Wang Xian's explanation, he is simply If you hear the sound of the fairy, you can't extricate yourself.

Time flies, and an hour passed before he knew it. The middle-aged man took a sip of tea, only to realize that it was already dark. He couldn't help but secretly shouted, "Wanwusangzhi", and hurriedly said softly: "It's getting dark, son, we have to go back."

"What's the rush?" Hei boy heard halfway into the alley, how could he stop like this?
"Young master." Although the middle-aged man dotes on him very much, he doesn't just let him do whatever he wants, "How did you promise me?"

"Uh..." Hei boy reluctantly said: "It's rare to come out once, and Uncle Ma still manages so strictly."

"My lord, please invite this brother Wang to the post house as a guest tomorrow." The middle-aged man softened his heart and said, "You can talk about the worm scriptures for a day, it's all right."

"Haha! Uncle Ma is the best!" Hei boy said excitedly, "Brother, where do you live? I'll send someone to pick you up tomorrow morning."

"This..." Wang Xian looked puzzled: "I have something to do tomorrow, let's choose another day."

"..." Hei Zi disappointed, "I'm leaving Suzhou early in the morning."

"Is that so..." Wang Xian thought for a while with a constipated expression on his face, as if he had made up his mind and said, "I'll go to the post house to find you tomorrow after finishing my work, how about that?"

"Then you have to hurry up." Hei boy Qian reminded Wan Wan: "I won't go anywhere tomorrow, I will wait for you at the posthouse."

"I don't know when it will be." Wang Xian shook his head and said, "Don't delay the visit, Suzhou gardens are the best in the world, it's so easy to come here once, it's a pity not to see it."

"The garden is there, and it will look the same in the future," Hei Xiaozi didn't care, and said with clenched fists, "But I have learned the Insect Classic, and I can show my might in autumn!" After a pause, he was eager to try again: "What are you going to do?" , if it is convenient, I will accompany you."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man immediately became nervous, his eyes were like swords, piercing Wang Xian's eyes with pain.

"Inconvenient." Wang Xian shook his head quickly.

"Why is it inconvenient?" Hei boy wanted to know even more.

"I'm going to the yamen to do business." Wang Xian sighed.

"Oh..." Hei Xiaozi then remembered which county scribe Wang Xian was from in Hangzhou, and he couldn't help but wondered, "You scribe from Zhejiang, why do you still work across provinces?"

"Alas..." Wang Xian sighed again, thinking that your sister's black charcoal head must be worked hard, otherwise my spitting for an hour will be in vain.He said: "I have encountered a big storm in Zhejiang, you should know it?"

"Yeah." Hei boy nodded and said, "I was planning to go to see the disaster situation, but Uncle Ma wouldn't let me." When it came to business, Hei boy's expression became serious: "But you're not in Hangzhou for disaster relief, what are you doing in Suzhou? After a pause, he said, "I still go shopping and buy so many things..."

Wang Xianxin said that you are not the same?But with a sad face on his face, he said: "To tell you the truth, the relief food that our county bought from Huguang was confiscated by the Yansi Yamen when it passed Hushu Pass." For this matter, it is natural to take care of it.”

"Does the government dare to withhold the disaster relief food?" Hei boy frowned and said, "Is the Salt Transportation Department so bold?"

"This batch of grain was purchased by the grain merchants in a non-governmental manner." Wang Xian explained: "If the government buys grain from other provinces, there is no such precedent, and second, it has to be reported to the court. Follow suit and cause unnecessary confusion."

"En." Black boy nodded and said, "Purchasing grain from the public is indeed more convenient, and this method is not an exaggeration. Besides, grain is not a prohibited item. Even if it is, it is not up to the Salt Transportation Department to intervene, right?"

"The Yansi Yamen said that we carried illegal salt!" Wang Xian said angrily, "I am a salt producing area in eastern Zhejiang, and the price of salt is low. What kind of hammer do I have to sell illegal salt in eastern Zhejiang?"

"Hmm..." Hei Xiaozi thought about it and said, "The Department of Salt Transportation must have seized something, right?"

"It's even more ridiculous to talk about this. On two batches of fifty grain ships, a total of twenty bags of salt were found, less than one hundred catties." Wang Xian found that this black boy was really difficult to fool, so he cheered up and said: " A catty of salt in Zhejiang sells for up to [-] Wen, even if the salt is picked for nothing, it only earns [-] Guan... This is too insulting to me as a Zhejiang businessman!"

"Perhaps, it's sailors' private affairs. We often hear about such things." The black boy pondered.

"I can't deny this suspicion." Wang Xian said angrily, "So we have to let fifty grain ships berth at the pier and be stolen and sold by them day and night! My people in Fuyang are waiting to be fed, and they will soon be out of food!"

"That's not what I meant." Hei boy shook his head and said, "The case can be investigated slowly, but people should be detained instead of food, and the disaster relief should not be delayed."

"I hope that the people in charge of the yamen can be as wise as you." Wang Xian said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I have caused trouble for you."

"Hehe, it's okay." Hei boy shook his head, looked at him and said, "If you say something offensive to Brother Wang, everyone in the Salt Transportation Department has their nostrils turned upside down. You are not even an official. Will they buy it?"

"I'm just a messenger." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "There are letters written by our vassals and natives."

"That's good." Hei boy nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Tomorrow I will be at the post house, waiting for the good news from Brother Wang!"

"I accept your auspicious words." Wang Xian also cupped his fists and said.

"Let me go first." Accompanied by the middle-aged man, Hei Zi went downstairs and left.

Wang Xian stood upstairs, waving at Hei boy all the time, and when he disappeared at the street corner, he turned around and said, "Go home."

"What's the background of this person?" Uncle Tian Qi was about to explode, "The one who can make you so courteous is definitely not an ordinary person."

"I don't know." Wang Xian shook his head.

"Ah?" Shuai Hui opened his mouth wide and said, "You don't even know what people's names are, do you?"

"I really don't know." Wang Xian shook his head. "He didn't want to say it, so I naturally couldn't inquire about it."

"Then you are really..." The two were speechless for a moment. Is there such a thing as close?We ate together, chatted, and didn't even know their name.

"The more important people are, the more mysterious they are." Er Hei said sharply, "When did my lord ever do a loss-making business?"

.

　It's so painful to be blown off the list, where is my diehard loyalist?It's time to defend the monk! ! ! !
