157. Abacus

As soon as the star fruit said this, I realized that I was a little negligent, and I forgot the great purpose of keeping a low profile in front of people and covering up my true identity.

It's just that the star fruit didn't know, as soon as she said this, Qing Cang was nothing, she still looked like me, but the painting next to her changed slightly, looked at Qing Cang, and saw that Qing Cang was not unusual, so she quietly exhaled and glanced at the star fruit.

This little girl is so bold!

Qing Cang didn't seem to be in a hurry to settle accounts with star fruit, but took care of herself and stroked the piano, and star fruit also listened to it on the side, although it was not intoxicating, but it was also a rare enjoyment, since someone was willing to perform for free, she couldn't stop others, right?

Suddenly, star fruit's eyes widened and she looked at Qing Cang, because this song was the "Bosom Friend" she played and sang just now, this Qing Cang was really powerful, no wonder he was so low-key and arrogant just now.

"Peach, otherwise, in the future, you can learn to play the piano with me!" Qing Cang looked at the starfruit stunned, suddenly stopped, and looked at the star fruit seriously.

"If you don't learn, you don't learn." Star fruit hurriedly shook her head.

Although those who play the qin and the zither can cultivate their minds, she really has no interest in this. It's okay to be "hobbyed" in another space, but I don't want to come here, and I'm forced to learn this and that.

Fortunately, Qingcang was just talking, and she didn't really want to teach her, seeing that her head was shaking like a rattle, she was really worried that she would swow herself out for a while.

Qing Cang instructed Huabei to ask someone to prepare food, and he ate tea with star fruit.

"How? How about tea at home? Qing Cang asked again.

"Mingqian tea is much stronger than ours, but it's a pity that the water is a little worse." Star fruit said. "It's not as good as the water in our village."

"If you like it, I'll bring you some when you go back tomorrow."

"Brother Xiexie Qingcang." Carambola was happy, but how could she listen to what Qing Cang meant. I even want to keep her again today.

She doesn't care, anyway, grandma only said that she was left by Qing Cang's mother, and she has no precautions against Qing Cang now, just after eating lunch and taking a nap, she can also feed the fish.

Lunch was still eaten by her and Qingcang, and Huabei was waiting beside her. Although the star fruit is very unaccustomed to Qing Cang's appearance. But she didn't call Huabei together, after all, this is people's habits, even if she doesn't like it, she can't change the environment.

After eating and rinsing her mouth, Carambola asked Huabei to take her to wash her face, and naturally returned to the house where she came to take a nap, only to find that not only Qing Cang was a frequent visitor to their village, but she also became a frequent visitor to this Qing house. And besides her and Kite, she hadn't seen any other guests here.

After waking up, Qing Cang was actually at home and didn't go out, star fruit was afraid that Qing Cang would have something else to do, but delayed her to repay the money, and hurriedly asked her how much silver she should pay back to him.

Qing Cang looked at the star fruit, and a slightly playful smile flashed in his eyes.

"It's fifty-five taels, and I know you're not willing to take advantage of others. Just collect the whole thing, and count your profits. You're so-so, just give me a thousand taels of silver! ”

Forehead! Star fruit glared at Qing Cang, and it was the first time that she had heard of someone rounding up like this. Still so-so? She saw him as a lion with a big mouth! She should have thought that his drawings had earned him so much silver, and he must have held a grudge in his heart, didn't he finally find a chance.

Hum! This abacus is a good one!

But star fruit is not so easy for him to calculate. Besides, when she came out, she only took two hundred taels of silver tickets, and at this moment, he tried his best to squeeze more money out of her.

"That, Brother Qingcang, I know you're joking." Carambola glared at Qing Cang for a moment. Finally, I adjusted my smile again. "Brother Qingcang is a person who does big business and big business, and he can't compare to those small families, or scoundrels and mud-legged philistines, he will divide the two, so naturally he won't ask for so much money from a little girl."

Star fruit paused, and did not forget to pick up the tea bowl in front of her, moistened her throat, and behaved very calmly.

"Besides, I'm also a person who doesn't like to owe others money in money, if Brother Qingcang said to give it to me, forget it, since it was said to be borrowed, then it must be repaid. That's it, Brother Qingcang, I have two silver tickets of fifty taels here, I'll give one to Brother Qingcang first, and the rest of the bits and pieces, and I'll send them to Brother Qingcang next time I have time. ”

Carambola said, carefully took out fifty taels of silver tickets, and put them on the small table in front of Qing Cang, and was very glad that he took the small amount of silver tickets, and did not directly take two hundred taels.

But this Qingcang is really strange, he actually learned to sit in the courtyard with the people in the village. I guess he doesn't like outsiders to come into his house! Only "insiders" like Huabei can enter.

Qing Cang watched the star fruit take out fifty taels of silver tickets and put them in front of him, and wanted to laugh more and more, so he could only try to endure himself.

This girl is really a talent, and her little abacus is loud enough, and she is full of words that sound better than anyone else, but she refuses to give out a penny more. Obviously, she has enough silver tickets in her hand, but she doesn't give it to him, for fear that he will lose her money!

"Alright then!" Qing Cang deliberately showed great helplessness and put away the silver ticket. "Remember, you still owe me five taels and one hanging, plus two hundred dollars, and pay me back slowly in the future, if it is too late, I will really collect the profit."

"Brother Haode Qingcang, I know that Brother Qingcang is a good person." The smile on the star fruit's face is even brighter, and sure enough, it is good for the sweet mouth to be able to pat the ass.

"Momoko, don't you need to invite a gentleman from the private school in your village to the school?" Qing Cang asked again, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard that an old man in Lushui Village seemed to have said something that did not invite Mr., and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

"Not please." Carambola replied, and explained the reason why Grandpa Mo didn't invite Mr. one, two, three.

Qing Cang nodded, as if he was in deep thought, and the star fruit didn't care, it was estimated that this Qing Cang must have been shocked by the idea of the grandfathers in their village to be out of the world, and was comprehending.

To say that she is really not an ordinary fate, not only do the people of Lushui Village agree not to invite Mr., but no one has any objections to her assignment of studying in the same classroom for men and women, I think everyone knows that they are all children anyway, and it doesn't matter. Besides, the children in the village are not as many as those in the big families, there are so many rules.

Now she doesn't envy those poor people who wear to the door of the mansion, or women who dress as emperors and princes, the house is too tired, compared to those people, she has simply traveled to a paradise!

"Momoko, you said that most of your village fled from Beichen in the first place?" Qing Cang finally came out of his contemplation and asked.

"Yes! Therefore, the people in our village do not like children to be slaughtered by officials. I seem to have heard that the original emperor of the northern kingdom was ousted by one of his marshals, and I also heard that many people were killed, which was very miserable. That's it! If the original emperor was a faint monarch, it would be sooner or later to be overthrown, but every time the dynasty is changed, the most unlucky people are always the people! Speaking of this, star fruit forgot that she had to keep a low profile and couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't expect you to be a little girl, but you are quite worried about the country and the people!" Qing Cang was amused by the serious appearance of star fruit, and couldn't help but reach out and flick it lightly on her forehead. "Okay, you've paid back the money, you've slept enough, go feed the fish!"

Carambola nodded, to be honest, she really missed such a leisurely day of feeding the fish, but in their village, she couldn't build such a swaggering mansion, and there was no place to go, as far as her current home, she was already very satisfied.

"Ahh That's right! "Star fruit just stood up and wanted to ask Huabei to find fish food for her, but she seemed to remember something again, and hurriedly screamed softly and sat down again." That, Brother Qingcang, what do you teach in the private school, do you also teach arithmetic? ”

"Absolutely! Those who don't want to compete for fame and fortune and be an official slaughterer generally learn to be literate, be able to settle accounts, and write couplets. Qing Cang replied.

"So, what about abacus, where to learn?" Star fruit asked again.

It's something she's always had in her mind. Seeing Liu Cheng's bookkeeping and remembering, it was not easy, and there was no computer calculator in this place, so she had already thought of the abacus, compared with the calculation with a brush in hand, this abacus is always easier! It's a pity that she can't teach it, and she can't teach it.

"Peach, if you want to learn, you don't have to go anywhere to learn, I'll find you a gentleman, you can come to me to learn."

This little girl seems to think that it is not enough to only plan in her heart, and she also wants to make a real calculation! Although Qing Cang was smiling on his face, he was speechless in his heart.

Carambola listened to Qing Cang's words, and secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, she never thought that she wanted to learn this, she just wanted to find someone to teach Liu Cheng, Zhang Wu and Ah Niu, mainly to teach Zhang Wu and Ah Niu, Liu Cheng Yuan can also learn or not.

However, it would be great if this Qing Cang could find someone to go to their village, as for how everyone else learned, what does it have to do with her?

"It's not me who learns, En, it's not just me who learns, it's I want the children in the village to learn." A sweet smile immediately appeared on the carambola's face. "Brother Qingcang, I have to trouble you again in this matter, help find a gentleman who doesn't think our village is far away, if he is willing to live in the village, you can let him live in my house and live in a yard with my brother."

Qing Cang began to fall into contemplation again, making star fruit feel for a moment that this matter did not seem to be very easy to handle, maybe her proposal was not quite in line with the rules of this era.

However, Qing Cang smiled quickly, this time not only smiled gently, but also a little brilliantly, definitely showing his white teeth.

"Okay! I'll help you inquire, but you can't rush until after the Spring Festival. ”

"No hurry! No hurry! Star fruit hurriedly said, as if the sun was flashing in front of her.

In other words, this Qing Cang always smiles so reservedly on weekdays, and suddenly laughs like this, it's pretty good-looking! (To be continued......)
