After a while in the State Medical Bureau, Zhou Xuan felt bored and wanted to see the appearance of Jiangzhou. His purpose of coming to the State Medical Bureau had already achieved his goal. The wonderful appearance just now would spread throughout the streets and alleys of Jiangzhou within an hour. He was determined to be the son-in-law of the Qin Mansion. Of course, this was just superficial effort. It would be very difficult for him to find a way to win Miss Qin's heart next.

Dr. Qin asked his servant Lai Fu to accompany Zhou Xuan shopping, and told him to serve his son-in-law well, and then go back to the house directly. Dr. Qin himself would not go back at noon because he wanted to go with some officials in Jiangzhou to Hukou to welcome the Tang Palace draft envoy.

Zhou Xuan shook his folding fan and walked on the streets of Jiangzhou. He saw shops standing in full bloom, the city was prosperous, and the peace and prosperity.

Li Yu lightly supported the people, and Jiangnan was originally a prosperous place. In the past 30 years, his military power has not been afforded, and his GDP has increased several times, and his people's living standards have improved significantly. The fourteen prefectures in the Huainan area that were originally occupied by the Song State have returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty. The current territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty includes the entire Jiangxi area and the most of the five provinces of Anhui, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangsu and Fujian. It has a vast territory and a population of tens of millions. It is a vague superpower. However, Li Yu has no ambition to dominate. As long as other countries do not invade, he just needs to just live a life and protect the country and the people.

Zhou Xuan asked: "Laifu, what fun places are there nearby?"

Lai Fu said: "Son-in-law, turn over from this road. There is a Pingkangfang not far from Nengren Temple. It is the Xuanjin Cave in Jiangzhou City, commonly known as the brothel street, which is very fun."

Zhou Xuan glared at his eyes, closed the folding fan and knocked it hard on Lai Fu's head, cursing: "You are a slaughter, you want to harm me. Although my son-in-law is not vulgar, he is not a bad person. How could he go to a brothel today when he got married yesterday? When I go back to my house next time, I will tell my mother-in-law, and you will encourage me to visit a prostitute, trying to corrupt the young, promising new son-in-law!"

Lai Fu was frightened and kept begging for mercy.

Zhou Xuan said: "It's okay to ask my son-in-law to let you go. If I ask you, you must answer truthfully. Remember to be honest and be honest and be lenient and resist strictness."

Lai Fu nodded like a garlic: "Yes, yes."

"Laifu, do you often go to Pingkangfang?"

“—No, don’t go often, go once a while.”

"How is the charge there? Can you afford it as a servant?"

"If you go back to your son-in-law, the girls there are divided into three or six. Of course, Lai Fu can only find the cheap one. And every time he goes there, he will get a 50% discount, only 200 yuan is enough."

"Wow." Zhou Xuan shouted: "You're going to be discounted again. Are you very handsome?"

The servant Lai Fu has a good reputation: "Li Fu is a regular customer, so there are naturally discounts."

"Bang", Lai Fu was hit hard in the head, "Idiot, I just said I went there once in a while, but now I say I am a regular customer, and I won't even lie."

Lai Fu was speechless and looked stupid.

Zhou Xuan asked: "How much money do you carry with you now?"

Lai Fu quickly took out half a hang of money and said, "It's exactly two hundred yuan."

Zhou Xuan put the two hundred cents in his hand and weighed the hundred cents. The hundred cents were quite heavy and he threw them back to Lai Fu. He thought to himself: "My brother is now penniless and more dignified. Of course, he is embarrassed to ask his father-in-law for it, otherwise he will be looked down upon by Miss Qin. I have to find a way to earn some extra money."

"Laifu, is the gambling industry in Jiangzhou City not developed? It's just gambling, I don't like pushing Paijiu dice, it's too unelegant. Are there any gambling people here? It's Go."

Zhou Xuan was expelled from playing chess when he was studying in the Chinese Department of Nanchang University.

Lai Fu said: "Yes, son-in-law, are you a Go master?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and didn't answer, looking mysterious, thinking: "I have a four-stage amateur certificate issued by the Provincial Chess Association and won the third place in the municipal competition. She is a strong amateur player, but I don't know how good the level of the Southern Tang Go is? However, in terms of experience in playing gambling, I am very rich, with good psychological quality and many off-board skills. Even if I have the sixth stage of amateur, I dare to compete with him."

Lai Fu said: "Jiangsu Lord Lin and the governor of the state, Mr. Xu, both love Go. Lin's mansion and Xu's mansion both have dozens of chess players. Chess and gambling are everywhere."

"Lai Fu, lead the way. My son-in-law wants to play chess. If you win, you will be rewarded with 200 ounces. You can go to Pingkangfang once more."

Lai Fu sneaked into the face of his son-in-law, not as if he was mocking him, so he led the way excitedly, saying, "Lai Fu knew that there was a big chess club called Fangyuanshe on the Pipa Pavilion."

A son-in-law and a servant, two men walked east along the south bank of the Xiao Xunyang River. As they walked, Zhou Xuan suddenly stopped.

"Laifu, did you hear any sound?"

Lai Fu looked around and saw that on the left was the small Xunyang River with soothing water, and on the right were wooden buildings along the coast. There was a sound, but nothing special.

Zhou Xuan listened intently for a while, and then heard a quick and short chirping of insects, and suddenly became excited: "Haha, it's a cricket, there are cricket fighters here."

Lai Fu looked at the new son-in-law dancing and said strangely: "It's very common to fight crickets. After the heat, crickets have come out. From the emperor to the grass-roots people in our Tang Dynasty, there are no ones who don't fight crickets. They are more popular than Go. There are also cockfights, gooses, and quails. As long as you can decide the winner, you will fight everything."

Zhou Xuan was so happy that he couldn't stop talking about it. He felt that he had traveled to a good place, so he liked to play these things. Now he finally had the opportunity to show his might.

Speaking of cricket fighting, Zhou Xuan also participated in several cricket fighting competitions before traveling through time, but at that time he was just a college student with no funds or time, more talks on paper, less actual combat, and never caught good crickets of lieutenant or above. It is said that a cricket of general in Guangdong and Hainan can be exchanged for a car worth more than 100,000 yuan, and the insect king is even more expensive.

Zhou Xuan was familiar with various cricket catalogs, such as the "Cricket Chronicles" by Jia Sidao of the Southern Song Dynasty, the "Cricket Chronicles" by Yuan Hongdao of the Ming Dynasty, the "Cricket Chronicles" by Zhu Congyan of the Qing Dynasty, and the "Secret Genealogy of the Anonymous Sect" by the Immortals. These books cannot be seen by the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so he has the advantage of knowledge.

"Laifu, the chess club will not go there first, let's watch cricket fighting."

Lai Fu is a native of Jiangzhou. He is very familiar with him. He took Zhou Xuan to a nearby three-story wooden building called "Mufeng Tower". Strangely, there was no door on the first floor, but he was circling up to the top floor of the third floor on one side. There were many people on the top floor, some stood and some sat, drinking tea and chatting, and they were very leisurely.

A young man in a costume saw Zhou Xuan and the others coming up and greeted him, "If this young man wants to see the bet on the insect, please go to the second floor."

It turned out that there was another staircase leading to the second floor. Zhou Xuan and his servant Lai Fu went down to the second floor and saw that there were many people here. Two guys were wearing blue and green, each holding two signs and standing on both sides of the staircase entrance. The two signs were written ink, and the handsome and free and easy Ouyang Xun's running script style.

The blue shirt guy's brand is written: "Dongwu Ganning, seven wins and zero losses, ten losses and five losses."

The Green Shirt Guy's brand says: "The nameless general, zero wins and zero losses, ten losses and twenty losses."

Haha, it’s fun to bet on crickets and use the generals of the Three Kingdoms as their names.

Zhou Xuan said to the Lanshan guy: "I want to see the insect before betting."

The blue-shirted guy hung the sign in his hand on the wall and said, "Young Master, please come with me." He pushed open a door on the left, and there was a square room inside, without any decoration. There was a round wooden table in the middle of the house, and there were two Yue kiln celadons in the shape of incense burners. There were a small yellow note sticking to each of the porcelain basins, which wrote about the names of the two crickets that were about to start fighting - Ganning of the Eastern Wu and the unknown general.

Seven or eight people were looking around the table into the celadon basin.

The blue-shirted guy whispered: "Please don't talk, please be gentle when walking, don't startle these two generals."

Zhou Xuan nodded and said, "I know." If the crickets were frightened before the decisive battle, they would avoid the war and could not recover in less than a long time.

Zhou Xuan asked Lai Fu to wait outside. He walked in and looked in from the shoulders of the two onlookers. On the bottom of the celadon basin on the left was a square-headed and black-faced cricket. His six-legged legs were white and flawless, his two big clamps were dark red, and his wings were light golden. His majestic look was really a bit like the momentum of Gan Ning, the general of the Eastern Wu who had been invaded by a hundred horses in Cao's camp.

Zhou Xuan carefully identified the cricket. According to his eyesight he cultivated from various cricket maps, the cricket was almost at the colonel level. It was quite rare for the colonel level crickets to be able to win seven battles and earn a lot of money for its owner.

Looking at the other one, it's just a matter of it. The brand says zero wins and zero losses. It should be a new insect that has never played in public. However, one of the two silky tentacles on its head was broken and it looked timid. What kind of hero is this? It's not as good as the "Dongwu Ganning" Xiu Wei, but its level seems to be not low. It is also a major-level good insect, but it is still incomparable to the colonel-level "Dongwu Ganning" and its momentum is much worse. This is definitely a one-sided game.

Zhou Xuan made up his mind, walked out of the small room, spread his hands: "Lai Fu, pay."

Lai Fu handed over the two hundred cents of money that he had linked together to Zhou Xuan and asked, "Did you see it correctly? Which one should I bet?" He was a little worried. If he lost the bet, his salary would be wasted that night, and he felt distressed.

Zhou Xuan smiled and walked to the counter in the west, preparing to place a bet. In just five minutes, the odds of the "No Nameless General" had dropped to 10 and 30 losses, and "Dongwu Ganning" became ten and 30 losses. It seems that the gamblers had the same opinion and were optimistic about "Dongwu Ganning". Although the odds of the "No Nameless General" were high, the risks were too great, and it was obvious that it was a loss.

When placing bets, Zhou Xuan was told by the clerk at the counter that each person had at least ten bets, each bet of one hundred, and Zhou Xuan had only two hundred words and was not qualified to bets.

Zhou Xuan scratched the back of his head, which was so embarrassing. It was the most embarrassing thing to find that there was not enough money while gambling. It was simply a shameless thing to lose the floor.

"Hey, isn't this Dr. Qin's son-in-law? Why can't you even get a thousand words? Do you want to lend it to you here?"

Zhou Xuan didn't expect that someone else knew him here. When he turned around, he saw that it was a guy with greasy and powdery face who was just shouting at the door of the State Medical Bureau to treat Miss Qin.
