Volume 2 Qiantang Spring Tide Diagram Chapter 108 The Book of Insects

。 Speaking of playing crickets, Wang Xian doesn't understand, but his predecessor, Wang Er, is a prodigal son who has grown up from a young man, and he can't do it when he grows up, so he will fight cocks and dogs, double land pai gow, and dice and bow...... Cricket fighting every autumn is the highlight of the year, and it is naturally a lot of experience to talk about over time.

"It is said that this weaving, although it is a subtle thing, but it is combined with six colors: blue, purple, yellow, black, white, and red. It is divided into 36 Tiangang stars and 72 earth-shattering stars, a total of 100 orders and 8 generals. There are ever-changing and unpredictable opportunities......"

"Wow......" the black boy was shocked: "Sure enough, the spirit is broad!" ”

"First of all, the phase worm, this is the first step in playing with crickets, you have to find the most powerful one from thousands of crickets."

"Uh-huh, how do you get to the worm?" The black boy nodded like a peck of rice.

"The ancients were cloudy, those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. The first step of phase insects is to look at the environment. Wang Xian said: "Insects must be lazy when they are born in the grass and soil, and they must be rigid when they are born between bricks and stones; The back must be delicate, and the sun must be inferior; It is better to come out of a barren mountain and remote area. ”

"Then how do you get to the barren mountains and remote places?" The black boy said: "There are many crickets in the barren mountains and remote places, and there are always advantages and disadvantages." ”

"Of course, there is a set of methods for insects." Wang Xian hated that he was still young, had no hair on his mouth, and could not brush his long hair and pretend to be a master, "From the perspective of appearance, crickets should have 'four likes', pincers like centipede pliers, mouths like lion's mouths, heads like dragonfly heads, and legs like grasshopper legs." ”

"You wait." The black boy hurriedly interrupted him and said, "I'll take a note." He said to the shopkeeper: "I use paper and pen for all my troubles." ”

The shopkeeper also saw that although this black boy was fierce and his followers were also fierce, he was polite to people and had no shelves, so he was bold and said with a smile: "Opposite our store is the Suzhou Cloud Crane Tower, which is as famous as the outer building of Hangzhou Building...... Anyway, there are more of them, why don't the two sons move to Yunhe Tower, order wine and food, and chat while eating...... "Seeing the two of them staring at themselves, the shopkeeper shrunk his neck and said with a bitter face: "The small shop is a small business, the two sons are chatting here, and no guests have come in for a long time......"

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

"It's a squirrel mandarin fish." Wang Xian smiled: "I invite you to eat ......"

"What are you kidding, today I am learning art from you, of course I have to invite the master to dinner." Without saying anything, the black boy dragged Wang Xian into the Yunhe Tower opposite. It was still early, there was a vacancy in the building, and the black boy asked for a private room upstairs, and he didn't read the recipe, so he ordered the best dishes to be served...... Hearing this, Wang Xian burst into tears in his heart, how can he look like a supporting role everywhere, and it is easy to meet someone who is not a little white face, but is still an authentic black handsome rich.

"Hurry on," Hei Shuaifu asked the restaurant for a pen and paper, wrote down what Wang Xian had just said, and urged him: "What about the four statues?" ”

"Then it is to identify from the color, the mantra is" white is not as good as black, black is not as good as red, red is not as good as yellow, yellow is not as good as green '......" Wang Xian has the heart to tie the knot better than him, and naturally uses the kung fu to press the bottom of the box: "There are five kinds of top crickets, called 'five uniques', don't miss it." Among them, the red-headed green neck, and the golden wings are a must; The pockmarked head is through the top, the golden wings and white legs, and the corresponding ones behind the head are the two uniques; The white hemp head is through the top, and the green neck hair is thick and the silver wings are the three uniques; Purple head and white dew, thick green neck, purple wings and wrinkles are the four uniques; Those with black lacquer head gold thread or silver forehead, blue neck with hair, black gold wings, white belly, and white thighs and feet are the five unique ......"

Wang Xian's mouth, which can tell the dead alive, talks about the Cricket Sutra, and even the middle-aged people on the side who are not interested in it listen to it with relish. What's more, I've loved this way since I was a child, but my family has been blocking me from playing, and I'm a black boy who wants to be dissatisfied...... Although he loves to play with crickets, he is still in the stage of blind recuperation, listening to Wang Xian's explanation, he is simply like hearing the sound of immortals, and he can't extricate himself.

Time flies, and before I know it, an hour has passed, and the middle-aged man took a sip of tea, only to find that the sky had already darkened, and he couldn't help but secretly scream 'plaything lost his mind', and hurriedly said softly: "It's almost dark, son, we have to go back." ”

"What's the hurry?" The black boy heard that he was halfway into the alley, how could he break it like this?

"Childe." Although the middle-aged man doted on him very much, he didn't blindly let him come nonsense, "How did you promise me?" ”

"Uh......" The black boy said reluctantly: "It's rare to come out once, Uncle Ma is still so strict." ”

"Childe can invite this Wang brother to the post house tomorrow," the middle-aged man softened his heart and said, "You just talk about the Worm Sutra for a day, and it's okay." ”

"Ha Lu Ha! Uncle Ma is the best! The black boy said excitedly with a treacherous face: "Brother Tai, where do you live, I will have someone pick you up early tomorrow morning." ”

"This ......" Wang Xian looked embarrassed: "I have something to do tomorrow, let's change the day." ”

"......" the black boy said disappointedly: "I will leave Suzhou early the next morning." ”

"That's it......" Wang Xian thought for a long time with a constipated face, and seemed to have made a lot of determination: "I'll finish my work tomorrow, and I'll go to the post house to find you, how about it?" ”

"Then you need to hurry." The black boy instructed: "I won't go anywhere tomorrow, I'll wait for you at the post house." ”

"I don't know when it will be." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "Don't delay the play, Suzhou Gardens is the best in the world, it's easy to come once, it's a pity not to take a look." ”

"The garden is there, and it will be the same in the future," the black boy didn't care, and clenched his fists and said: "But I have learned the Worm Sutra, and I can show my might in the autumn!" After a pause, he eagerly said, "What are you going to do, if it's convenient, I'll accompany you." ”

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

"It's inconvenient." Wang Xian hurriedly shook his head and said.

"Why is it inconvenient?" The black boy wanted to know more about it.

"I'm going to the Yamen on errands." Wang Xian sighed.

"Oh......" The black boy then remembered that Wang Xian was a scribe in which county in Hangzhou, and couldn't help but wonder: "You are a scribe from Zhejiang, why do you still run errands across provinces?" ”

"Alas......" Wang Xian sighed again, and said in his heart that your sister's black charcoal head, you must give it your strength, otherwise Lao Tzu's spit for an hour will be in vain. Then he said: "I have suffered a big storm in Zhejiang, you should know the way, right?" ”

"Hmm." The black boy bowed his head and said, "I planned to go and see the disaster, but Uncle Ma wouldn't let me." Speaking of business, the black boy's expression became serious: "But you are 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? On his face, he said with a sad face: "Let's be honest with you, the disaster relief grain that our county purchased from Huguang was detained by the Yansi Yamen when we passed through Hushu Pass. He sighed and said, "That's what I'm here for, so naturally I'm going to take care of it." ”

"The government's disaster relief food dare to be deducted?" The black boy frowned and said, "Is the Yanyun Division so bold? ”

"This batch of grain was purchased by grain merchants in a private way." Wang Xian explained: "If the government goes to other provinces to buy grain, there is no such precedent, second, it has to report to the imperial court, and third, it is afraid of causing imitation and causing unnecessary confusion." ”

"Hmm." The black boy nodded and said: "It is indeed more convenient for the people to buy grain, this method is not an exaggeration." Besides, grain is not a prohibited item, and even if it is, it can't be mixed with the salt transportation division, right? ”

"The Yamen of the Salt Division said that we were carrying private salt!" Wang Xian said sadly and indignantly: "My eastern Zhejiang is a salt-producing area, and the price of salt is low. ”

"Hmm......" the black boy thought for a moment and said, "The Salt Transportation Division must have found something, right?" ”

"It's even more ridiculous to talk about this, two batches of fifty grain ships, a total of twenty bags of salt were found, less than a 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 200, even if this salt is picked up for nothing, it only earns 20 yuan...... This is too insulting for me to be a businessman! ”

"Perhaps, it's the sailors who are getting into the trap, and I've heard of this kind of thing from time to time." The black boy groaned.

"I can't deny this suspicion." Wang Xian said sadly and indignantly: "So I have to let fifty grain ships moored on the dock and be stolen and sold by them day and night!" The people of Fuyang are waiting to be fed, and they are about to run out of cooking! ”

"That's not what I meant." The black boy shook his head and said: "The case can be investigated slowly, but people should be deducted without food, and disaster relief should not be delayed." ”

"I hope that the people who branch the yamen can also be as wise as you." After Wang Xian finished speaking, he said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I've blocked my brother's platform." ”

"Hehe, it's okay." The black boy shook his head, glanced at him and said, "Say something offensive to Brother Wang, the people in the Salt Transportation Division are all nostrils facing the sky, you are not even an official, will they buy it?" ”

"I'm just a messenger." Wang Xian smiled bitterly: "There are handwritten letters from our domain and Zhentai. ”

"That's good." The black boy nodded, hugged his fists and said, "Tomorrow I will be in the post house, waiting for Brother Wang's good news!" ”

"I promise you." Wang Xian also hugged his fists.

"Say goodbye first." The black boy, accompanied by the middle-aged man, went downstairs and left.

Wang Xian stood upstairs and waved his hand at the black boy, and when he disappeared into the street, he turned around and said, "Go home." ”

"What's the origin of this man?" Uncle Tian Qi was about to burst out: "The one who can make your kid so attentive must not be an ordinary person." ”

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

"Huh?" Shuai Hui opened his mouth wide and said, "You don't even know what people are called, right?" ”

"I really don't know what to do." Wang Xian shook his head. "He doesn't want to say, so I can't ask poorly."

"Then you are really ......" The two were speechless, is there this set of close? After eating and chatting together, I didn't even know what people were called.

"The bigger the shot, the more mysterious." Erhei hit the nail on the head and said: "When did my family make a bad deal?" ”。
