The old man nodded, then pointed to a side street.

"Go straight inward towards this street, about five or six hundred steps, and you will see the shop of Yuzhen Hall."

Jing Wen thanked him, and quickly took He Jun to that street.

After walking more than 600 steps, I really saw a shop in front of me, with the three characters "Yuzhentang" written on the plaque above it.

Jing Wen patted He Jun on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Finally found it, let's go in."

Jing Wen parked the carriage and walked into the shop with He Jun.

Inside there was a clerk who was tending the shop.

When he saw two people coming in, he thought they were guests, so he greeted them with a smile.

"May I ask what kind of jade do you guys need?"

Jing Wen: "Oh, we're not here to buy jade, we're here to find someone."

"May I ask who you two are looking for?"

"I have an uncle named Zhang Shuren. He wrote to tell me that there is a Yuzhentang here."

After the guy heard about it, he looked at Jing Wen carefully.

"It turns out that the two of you came to find shopkeeper Zhang, but he is not here now.

But there is still a treasurer Yu behind.

The two of them are business partners, let me call them over for you.

You two wait a moment. "

The man opened the curtain and went inside.

Jing Wen smiled and said to He Jun who was looking around, "Jun, you are tired after riding in the carriage for two days and walking such a long distance?

There are chairs here, sit down and rest. "

He Jun is very interested at this time.

He looked and watched everywhere in the shop, but he couldn't sit down.

After a while, the boy followed a man out.

Jing Wen pulled He Jun over who was watching the jade.

The young man said to the two, "This is shopkeeper Yu from our jade shop."

This shopkeeper also looks quite young, about 25 or [-] years old.

He Jun thinks he looks handsome, but his skin is a bit dark.

Shopkeeper Yu first took a look at the two of them. When he saw Jing Wen, he suddenly jumped up, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"I heard from the guys that you are here to find Zhang Shuren, right?

You two belong to Zhang Shuren..."

Jing Wen: "Zhang Shuren is my uncle."

When Jing Wen first saw the shopkeeper Yu, he also felt very familiar, like a little brother he knew when he was working outside.

He was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time, and the younger brother was also surnamed Yu, named Yu Ziqiang.

He is four years older than himself, and the two hit it off, so they became friends.

"Zhang Shuren also told me about your family, and he has already received your letter, saying that you will arrive in two days.

Are you tired of driving the carriage all the way?

You sit down for a break first. "

Shopkeeper Yu greeted him warmly, and he asked the boy to make tea.

In fact, shopkeeper Yu also felt that Jing Wen was very similar to a friend he knew before.

He tentatively asked, "You...you are Zhang Jingwen?"

Coincidentally, Jing Wen also asked.

"Yu Ziqiang, are you Yu Ziqiang?"

The two asked at the same time, and then stared at each other for a while before they recognized each other.

... Dare to meet an old friend from the past here.

Yu Ziqiang stepped forward and patted Jing Wen vigorously.

"I didn't expect that we would meet here.

That's great. "

Jing Wen was also a little excited.

At that time, his family was poor, so he went out to work when he was sixteen or seventeen.

He made deliveries in a horse-drawn cart in one of his master's shops.

And Yu Ziqiang is also working here.

Yu Ziqiang was a few years older than Jing Wen at that time, and the two got along very well.

Yu Ziqiang also took good care of Jing Wen, and the two became friends after coming and going.

Later, Yu Ziqiang went to Yukun City, and Jing Wen was called back to Ewan Village by Xu Huizhi.

The two broke off contact.

Jing Wen had joy on his face.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, you became a business partner with my uncle in Yukun City. It's really fate.

And I haven't seen you for so many years, why do I think you are getting stronger and stronger?

You were not this tall before.

His skin was still dark, but he was even more handsome. "

"I also didn't expect that Zhang Shuren kept talking about his nephew coming every day, but I didn't expect his nephew to be your Zhang Jingwen.

If I knew it was you, I would have asked Zhang Shuren to write a letter to call you over earlier.

I really feel that I am destined to be with your Zhang family.

This time we finally met, you have to stay in Yukun City for a while, and we two brothers have to catch up on the old days. "

He Jun stood aside and was very happy to see the two of them recognize each other.

He feels that the world is not too big, and Jingwen can meet old friends in this strange place

Jing Wen really wanted to see his uncle.

"Yu Ziqiang, where is my uncle now?"

"Is he not here now?

He's at the cockfighting stage, I'll take you two there later.

Who is this little brother? "

Jing Wen glanced at He Jun, smiled and said, "She is my daughter-in-law who has never been married."

He Jun suddenly felt a little embarrassed, he didn't expect Jing Wen to introduce himself so gracefully in front of outsiders.

Yu Ziqiang showed a suddenly realized expression, but he was not surprised either.

This Yu Ziqiang also seems to be a very open-minded person.

He just smiled heartily.

"Why don't you take a break here and have a sip of tea, and then go to your uncle later."

"Go straight to your uncle.

I haven't seen him for a long time, and I really want to see him. "

"Okay then, I'll take you there myself."

Jing Wen and He Jun walked out, wanting to lead the horse.

Shopkeeper Yu: "The cockfighting platform is not far from here. Besides, there are too many people on the road here, and it's not convenient to drive a carriage. Let's walk there."

Jing Wen nodded, and the two walked behind shopkeeper Yu.

He Jun just heard shopkeeper Yu say something about a cockfighting platform, so he asked curiously.

"Master Yu, where is the cockfighting platform?"

Shopkeeper Yu replied with a smile.

"You may not know that your uncle opened a cockfighting arena and a casino."

He Jun and Jing Wen looked at each other. Although they had heard of this cockfighting field before, they never expected that Zhang Shuren opened a cockfighting field.

Seeing the somewhat astonished expressions on the faces of the two of them, Shopkeeper Yu explained to them.

"In Yukun City, those people really like cockfighting.

It turns out that your uncle started from the bottom when he came here.

He endured hardships, and later he was appreciated and supported by his boss.

Your uncle learned by doing.

Later, he had some spare money, and his contacts gradually expanded, so he started his own business, opening a cockfighting farm, a chicken shop, and a gambling shop.

Hired a special person to raise a lot of game cocks, and also sold game cocks.

Now his cockfighting ground is very famous in Yukun City. "

Jing Wen had some impressions of his uncle when he was a child.

He just remembered that his uncle liked to tease him very much, and then he always got some novel gadgets for him.

He always listened to his father scolding his uncle.

He also heard that his uncle is a little clever and likes to be unconventional.

He thought about the possibility of his uncle doing anything outside.

But he never expected that his uncle opened a cockfighting arena and a casino.

He Junxin thinks that people in this big place really think differently from those in Ewan Village, and they play very different things.

He had heard before that those rich young men had nothing to do with cockfighting to amuse themselves.

I didn't expect Jing Wen's uncle to be in this line of work, it's quite new.

While everyone was talking, they came to a table.

The front of the table was crowded with excited men.

All of them looked like they had been injected with chicken blood, and they stretched their necks to look at the stage.

Some people are still yelling.

"Quick, quick, peck it to death."

There is a person standing on both sides of the stage, and they are also looking nervously at the two fighting cocks in front of them.

The two fighting cocks were fighting fiercely.

It is reckoned that these two people are the owners of the fighting cock.

Their gamecocks are fighting.

Jing Wen also worked for his boss in a big place before, so these things are no surprise.

It was the first time for He Jun to see this cockfighting scene, and he was also attracted by the two ferocious roosters on the stage.

I saw these two fighting cocks fiercely pecking and biting each other.

These two fighting cocks are evenly matched, and it is hard to tell the winner.

As a result, the two chickens fought each other for a long time, and they both showed a tired posture.

So the owners on both sides sprayed them with water again, so that the two fighting cocks cheered up and went into battle again.

In the end, one gamecock pecked at the comb of another gamecock, and the comb bled profusely.

The cockfighting cock with the injured comb immediately showed signs of defeat, then crowed weakly, and finally fell down on the stage.

The owner of the other game cock picked up the game cock and kissed it several times, screaming excitedly.

"Haha, my cockfight won."

Then some people in the crowd raised their arms and shouted with excitement.

This cockfight is actually a different kind of gambling.

Before the cockfight, everyone bet on one side to win the game. If the other side loses, the money will be gone.

The owner of the cockfighting field is the banker.

After the cockfight was over and the crowd dispersed, Yu Ziqiang hurried forward.

A man was training several thugs.

Yu Ziqiang raised his voice and shouted.

"Zhang Shuren, come quickly, your nephew Zhang Jingwen is here."

The man quickly stopped lecturing, and the expression on his face changed from the majesty at the beginning to surprise.

He stepped forward quickly.

He Jun looked at this man, about 30 years old, tall, energetic, and quite burly.

And He Jun felt that he was somewhat similar to Jing Wen in demeanor.

Not to mention that they are all members of the Zhang family who are blood relatives, they look a bit like Jing Wen and Jing Xing.

Jing Wen also hasn't seen his uncle for more than ten years.

When he saw Zhang Shuren, he was completely out of touch with the immature boy of sixteen or seventeen in his impression.

So he hesitated a little.

That Zhang Shuren opened his hand without admitting it, and hugged Zhang Jingwen as soon as he came up.

"Jing Wen, my good nephew, I finally saw you.

When I left home at that time, you were only six or seven years old. After so many years, you have become a handsome boy.

How is your mother?

I never thought that your father would go so early after I left.

Alas, when I heard this, I felt very uncomfortable.

I haven't even seen your father. "

Jing Wen seemed a little overwhelmed by Zhang Shuren's enthusiasm.
