Chapter 68: Three Tables and Small Pavilions
Wang Zhe is the chief leader of Tianjin Weishun East Standard Bureau.
There is no typo, it is the standard game, the appearance of the dart game is more than 200 years, the dart game at this time is called the standard bureau or the standard line, which is recorded in the fifty-fifth chapter of "Golden Vase Plum", don't be misled by martial arts novels.
Wang Zhe traveled south and north, he is an insightful person, and he recognized Li Zhaotong's demonstration of "The Times is Calling", which is indeed a very popular health preservation secret technique in the capital today.
Although this secret technique was different from what he had been fortunate enough to see, he felt that the "Times Are Calling" demonstrated by this little boy with fine skin and tender flesh was an authentic secret technique.
Therefore, Li Zhaotong received more than 30 taels of silver, and he alone contributed 10 taels.
Of course, Wang Zhe is definitely not the only one who is knowledgeable.
In fact, a wave of craze is taking shape in the homes of these knowledgeable Tianjin Wei families.
……
The next day, Li Zhaotong and Mei Taiqing came out of the inn, and the two asked for a bowl of noodles in the inn, dealt with it, and came to Yahang to seek a suitable rent.
The mountain is not high, there are immortals, the water is not deep, and there are dragons.
Li Zhaotong does not have high requirements for the location of the New Oriental Martial Arts Hall, as long as there is a spacious courtyard.
After the recommendation of the Yaxingya people, a courtyard in Shiqiao Hutong in the Tianjin Acropolis was perfectly favored by Li Zhaotong.
The request of the owner of this yard is also very interesting:
Those who fancy his house do not come to those who are illiterate;
Those who don't know arithmetic don't come;
Those who look down on the people at the bottom do not come;
The rent of those who can solve his problems is halved;
Those who can solve other doubts live free of charge;
Those who can convince him and make him willing to apprentice, the house is the bundle of his apprenticeship.
"Someone is renting Mr. Li's house again."
"These scholars are really persistent enough, plus yesterday's one, nine people have come out of Mr. Li's house in a row in a row!"
"Hehe, if they know that Mr. Li is the descendant of Master Li Chun, the designer of Zhaozhou Bridge, it is estimated that they will be annoyed and angry!"
"Yes, Mr. Li is the heir of the legendary Mo family, and he is not the same as this group of scholars! I've heard storytellers say that Mohists and Confucianism are mortal enemies. ”
"Aren't you worried that Mr. Li will really be convinced? You must know that since Mr. Li came to settle in our Shiqiao Hutong, those nonsense dolls in our Hutong have learned a lot of knowledge from Mr. Li, and they are more obedient and know a few words. ”
"I said old grandson, what are you worried about, Mr. Li is the heir of the Mo family, the kind of descendant, as long as the person who comes is not a well-known big man like Li Ge Lao in the capital, no one can convince Mr. Li."
……
As Li Zhaotong followed Yaren into Shiqiao Hutong, the people of Shiqiao Hutong never stopped talking.
None of them are optimistic that the middle-aged and young people who follow the tooth man can rent the house of "Mr. Li".
"Three-table small pavilion, what a strange name. But the scenery is good, a good branch of red apricot out of the wall! ”
The apricot tree blooms in March and April, it is the season of apricot tree flowering, inside the small pavilion of the three tables, there is a huge apricot tree, its trunk has already stretched out of the wall, the flowers on the trunk, swaying with the wind, the fragrance of the apricot blossom permeates the entire Shiqiao Hutong.
"Childe doesn't know, these three tables of small pavilions were originally called Ju'an small pavilions, and the apricot tree has existed since the villain remembers.
As for why Ju'an Xiaoge changed its name to Sanbiao Xiaoge, the villain heard that it was related to a gambling contract, and the original owner of Sanbiao Xiaoge lost Sanbiao Xiaoge to the current owner, so he changed the name of Sanbiao Xiaoge to such a strange name.
About the strange name of the Three Tables Pavilion, the villain has heard of it, and the villain heard the Shizi who wanted to come and rent the Three Tables Pavilion before, saying that these three tables have a certain origin, and it seems to be the standard of the Mo family. ”
"The standard of the Mo family?"
Li Zhaotong was stunned, and then suddenly:
"It's no wonder the owner makes such a strange request."
Li Zhaotong generally understands the ideas of the Mohists, and they oppose the concept of social hierarchy emphasized by Confucianism, so it is not surprising that the owner of this house made a request: those who look down on the people at the bottom should not come.
"Could it be that there is a near-extinct heir of the Mo family living here?"
Li Zhaotong had such a bold idea in his mind, before, he took a fancy to the question raised by the owner of the house, thinking that the owner of the house was a talent he needed, so he took a perfect fancy to this place and wanted to take an apprentice by the way.
Now it seems that I am afraid that I still underestimate the other party.
"Mr. Li, are you at home?"
The tooth man knocked on the door of the three-table pavilion.
"It's coming! Here it comes! ”
The response in the small pavilion of the third table was very fast, and not long after, a young man who looked to be only seven or eight years old, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, opened a crack in the door, poked his head out of the crack in the door, and said:
"Mr. said that those who want to rent his house in the future need to pass my pass first."
"Childe, this is the disciple of the owner of the house, Mr. Li, called Lu Yun."
The tooth man was obviously very familiar with Lu Yun, and he also reached out and touched Lu Yun's head dotingly.
"Uncle Tiger, don't touch my head, Mr. said, if you touch your head too much, you will lose your hair, I don't want to be a bald donkey."
Lu Yun complained dissatisfiedly, then looked at Li Zhaotong and Mei Taiqing, his eyes rolled, and asked:
"Suppose I have a Pythagorean shape with a hook length of six, a strand length of eight, and a chord length? Whoever of you two can answer, he will be able to follow me in to meet the sir. ”
"Ten."
Li Zhao agreed and glanced at this little Lu Yun, he didn't expect that this little guy already knew how to use "hook three strands, four strings and five" to calculate the chord length of a right triangle, which is a bit interesting!
This is a special case of the Pythagorean theorem that most children as old as Lu Yun don't know about hundreds of years later!
As for now, it's even more extinct.
Not to mention Zhu Houzhao, that guy is a demon who doesn't like to put his mind on business, which is a special case, and Li Zhaotong rarely treats him as a child.
"Ten."
Mei Taiqing didn't know how to calculate, but he knew that it was right to follow Li Zhaotong's answer.
Sure enough, it didn't surprise him, Lu Yun heard that both of them said the answer "ten", he was a little unhappy, this was a question he had finally come up with.
However, because of Mr.'s instructions, Lu Yun immediately opened the door and led Li Zhaotong and the three inside.
"Sir, the people are coming."
"Okay, you go and do your homework!"
"Yes, sir."
Lu Yun behaved very well-behaved in front of Mr. Li, and after he agreed, he immediately trotted back to his room.
"Mr. Lee."
Uncle Tiger is very respectful to Mr. Li, because he is a person from this Shiqiao Hutong, and his family has more or less received Mr. Li's favor.
"I've seen Mr. Lee."
"I've seen Mr. Lee."
"I've seen three, three of you, please take a seat."
This Mr. Li, at first glance, is a very elegant middle-aged man, but Li Zhaotong took a closer look and found that in fact, this Mr. Li is similar to Wang Shouren, because he has a beard, so he looks old, in fact, it is estimated that he is twenty-five or sixteen years old.
After Mr. Li invited Li Zhaotong to sit down on the stone bench under the big apricot tree, he made a cup of hot tea for all four of them, including himself.
"You know, you understand my rules here, right? If you can pass my assessment, I will rent this house to you, and I will move out from here, if not, then Li can only ask the two to leave. ”
"No problem."
Li Zhaotong agreed very simply.
"I am only responsible for the safety of Li Gongzi, and the matter of renting a house has nothing to do with me."
Mei Taiqing, who was holding the knife, first indicated that she would not participate. Because he knows very well that although he knows a few big characters, he is still a big man, and he can't answer any questions at all, if he participates, he will definitely hurt Li Gongzi.
Therefore, Mei Taiqing only made a statement first.
However, his statement made Mr. Li frown slightly, he looked at Uncle Tiger and Mei Taiqing, and two words appeared in his mind:
"Family? Bodyguard? ”
The guards are okay, but the family looks down on the people at the bottom, which is completely inconsistent with his requirements!
What did this Uncle Tiger do?
Uncle Tiger, a tooth person, is actually a person, because they need to learn the superb ability to observe words and colors, otherwise they will be eliminated by the fiercely competitive market.
Therefore, Mr. Li only frowned slightly, and he noticed it.
So, Uncle Tiger hurriedly explained:
"Mr. Li, this strong man is a guard hired by Li Gongzi for money, Li Gongzi is not our Tianjin guard, he is from the capital, for safety, he hired this strong man, so Li Gongzi did not look down on the people at the bottom."
"Okay! I believe you for now. ”
Uncle Tooth Man Tiger gave Mr. Li a good impression, so he didn't pursue it, he began to turn his head to look at Li Zhaotong, and then asked:
"I see that although your clothes are very ordinary, but your conversation is very extraordinary, I think you have no gaps in literacy, so I won't ask this, I'll ask you a question, from one to one hundred, how much is it, you can calculate it in half a pillar of incense, and I will rent the house to you."
"It's easy, five thousand and fifty." Li Zhao replied in the same second.
"This ...... So fast? ”
Of course, Mr. Li knew that one addition to one hundred was equal to five thousand and fifty, and this was the result he had obtained after many checks, and he had already remembered it in his heart, but this ...... This......
"Did he keep it in his heart?"
"Mr. Li, your question is too simple, I summed up a law a few years ago, and I call this arithmetic law a formula.
This formula for adding a series of numbers where the difference between each term and its previous term is equal to the same constant, I specifically call it the formula for summing the series of equal differences, and the specific formula is:
The first term plus the last term is multiplied by the number of terms divided by two.
In the future, if you encounter such a series of additions, you can simply apply this formula to the results quickly. ”
Li Zhaotong really wanted to convince this suspected heir of the Mo family, because this person was a panda-level science talent in the Ming Dynasty, and this kind of talent would be of great help to his future career, so of course he had to be taken under his command.
Therefore, Li Zhaotong's attitude towards Mr. Li is more serious.
ps: Things are busy, and I have a cold, so I only have one shift today, sorry!
