Chapter 113: A Foolish Boy
Aside from the crowd of onlookers, in the midst of a cheer, Yang Xianrong saw the kid, he had a strong body, holding a copper tripod with both hands, looking at his face, the immature face looked like he was twelve or thirteen years old, and he was still a child. Yang Xianrong instantly remembered the past of the year, Liu Yao was not as old as this child at that time, and won the applause of the audience with his good skills, and because of this, they formed an indissoluble fate.
Yang Xianrong was immersed in the memories of the past, and his eyes involuntarily turned red. Sima Xuanhua, Su Chen, Yuzhuo and Zhang Hui all rushed over after her, Sima Xuanhua saw that the young man in front of him had such amazing strength at a young age, he couldn't help but applaud desperately, and saw someone walking past the onlookers one by one with a gong, she couldn't help but be curious: "What is the person holding the gong going to do?" ”
"Money-seeking." Su Chen said: "You have watched other people's performances, if you think it is exciting, give some money, these people rely on these skills to make a living." ”
Sima Xuanhua understood, watched the man walk in front of him, and hurriedly urged Yuzhuo to give money, Yuzhuo took out a few copper coins from his arms and put them in the man's gong, Sima Xuanhua was not satisfied, disgusted with Yuzhuo's stinginess, and asked her to take out the money again.
"Almost," said Yang Ting, who had been silent for a long time.
"What did you say?" Sima Xuanhua glanced at Yang Ting, and said quite dissatisfiedly: "How can you be so stingy, you are everyone's son." ”
Yang Ting sighed, put aside Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua, and walked to the center of the field. The person who was collecting the money immediately ran to him vigilantly and asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
"Kick the gym." Yang Ting said: "I can also lift your ding, do you believe it?" ”
The person who collected the money hurriedly took a step forward and said, "This son, everyone is just watching the fun, please don't make trouble." ”
"What's the trouble?" Yang Ting grinned and said, "I'm making a bet with you, if I lift it, you can give me a cheer, if I can't lift it, how about I give you another twenty taels of silver?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately boiled, and they all coaxed the sheep to lift the crown, and even Sima Xuanhua followed suit. The face of the man with the gong became more and more ugly, and he whispered to Yang Ting: "If the son gives way, I will give you half of the money I collected today." ”
Yang Ting sneered: "Do you think I look like a person who is short of money?" After he finished speaking, his hands and feet flashed swiftly over the man, and he walked directly to the kid, and with a stretch of his hand, he snatched the tripod into his hand, and then threw it out, and the tripod was broken, and it turned out that this top was not built of bronze at all, but was made of wood, and then painted with a layer of special lacquer, which looked no different from the real bronze tripod.
The crowd of onlookers felt that they had been deceived, shouting and shouting for the person who collected the money to return the money, the man glanced at Yang Ting hatefully, and suddenly slipped away quickly with a gap, leaving only the young man who raised the crown to look at Yang Ting with a panicked face.
"Child, it's not good to deceive people, didn't your father teach you?" The sheep squinted at the child.
Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua came around, and Sima Xuanhua asked, "Second son, how can you see that this tripod is fake?" ”
"It's nothing, what is the weight of the bronze tripod, and what can anyone lift it?" Yang Ting pointed to the child: "How old is he, how can he have such ability?" ”
Who knows, the child argued extremely unconvinced: "You don't have to underestimate the child, then Liu Yao, the son of the Hanguang Townsman, can lift such a big ding before the age of ten." ”
"You've seen it?" Yang Xianrong asked.
The kid shook his head: "My dad has seen it, he told me." said that there were still people on stage to provoke at that time, but after testing the tripod, it was a real bronze tripod. ”
"That tripod is good bronze, but it's not as big as your tripod." Yang Ting said.
"How do you know?" The child asked, unconvinced.
"I was a friend of the man who tested the crown, and I was there at the time." Yang Ting glanced at the child, saw that he was surprised, and said: "But he held up a genuine bronze tripod, your wooden tripod is a lie, your father is not reliable, I don't want you to take the money and leave." ”
The child's arrogance suddenly weakened, and he snorted and said: "That's not my father, my father died, that person helped me bury my father, he saw that my strength was greater than other children, so he asked me to use this trick to make money to pay off the funeral expenses he paid for my father, and I couldn't help it." ”
It turned out that there was another hidden story, Yang Ting stopped talking, Sima Xuanhua immediately softened, and Yang Xianrong asked, "Then how much silver do you owe him?" ”
"He said it was fifty taels." The boy said.
"Fifty taels?" Yu Zhuo exclaimed in amazement.
"Kid, I'm afraid you've been deceived." Yang Ting said: "Fifty taels, enough to buy ten coffins for your father." As far as I know, ordinary people can't use five taels of silver for funeral expenses, and even better ones can't use ten taels of silver. ”
The child was stunned, and then shouted angrily: "I'll go to him, I have already earned him enough for five taels of silver." He was about to go to the man, but before he could take a step, he was dragged back by the arm.
"Want to run?" Yang Ting asked.
"No, I'll ask him for money." The child said anxiously. I read books
"Forget it." Yang Xianrong said: "What can I do if I find it? Can you still get money from that man? Now that he is afraid that he will not be able to do this business in the capital, if you go back, he may take you to Chang'an or other places, are you willing to go? ”
The child shook his head, not knowing what to do, so he simply sat on the ground with his head shut.
"Child," Yang Ting said again: "Although you have deceived people, but the Ding is not light, and ordinary adults may not be able to lift it, speaking of which, you do still have two brushes, but it should not be compared with Liu Yao." ”
As he said this, the boy raised his eyes to look at Yang Ting, and his eyes sparkled with light.
"Have you practiced before?" Yang Ting asked.
"My dad taught me." The child said, "My father used to be a great general. ”
"Lie to me again." Yang Ting shook his head: "You are the son of a great general, and your father doesn't even have the money to bury himself?" ”
When the child heard that the sheep didn't believe him, he was anxious again, and shouted: "Really, my father used to lead troops for a big prince." ”
"Which prince?" Yang Xianrong asked curiously.
The child frowned and thought for a long time before he said, "It seems to be, Morning King?" ”
Yang Ting looked puzzled, but Sima Xuanhua reacted at once and asked, "King Zhao?" ”
The child immediately smiled and nodded. Sima Xuanhua's face changed immediately, King Zhao was her enemy who killed her mother and sister, and locked her in the cold palace for a long time, besides, he was flattering to greet Jia Hou before, this person is really disgusting and even more resentful.
Yang Ting blocked Sima Xuanhua behind him, stopped her hatred, and asked the child again: "Then what are you going to do next?" ”
The child shrugged, although he suddenly had no debts, but suddenly there was no direction, not to mention that the original boss would not let him go, and he would find him, although he had some martial arts, but because of his young age, martial arts had not been systematically learned, and he was not the opponent of that person at all, if he found it, he would definitely go back and continue to earn that deceitful black money.
Seeing this, Yang Ting asked, "Are you willing to go to my Yangfu to be a nursing home?" ”
"Sheep House?" The child didn't know exactly what Yangfu was, but when he heard that someone was willing to take him in, he nodded excitedly and quickly said, "Yes, yes." "It's as if I'm afraid that if I hesitate, others won't want him.
Yang Ting said again: "I haven't left Beijing for the time being, I can teach you kung fu, and before I leave Beijing, I will also find a master for you. ”
As soon as the child heard this, he could still learn kung fu, so he immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Ting, and said in a loud voice: "Thank you Master for taking me in, and the apprentice will visit Master." ”
"Apprentice, you haven't told the teacher about your life." Yang Ting said with a smile.
"The apprentice's surname is Xiao, and his single name is a tiger character." Xiao Hu said that he kowtowed to Yang Ting again, and said, "Apprentice Xiao Hu to meet Master." ”
It's a clever child. After making such a fuss, it was not early, Yang Ting drove the child back to Yangfu first, and after explaining to the steward, he rode a horse and escorted Yang Xianrong and Sima Xuanhua back to the palace.
"Second brother," Yang Xianrong lifted the curtain and said to Yang Ting outside the car: "I should congratulate you on accepting an apprentice." Actually, I didn't expect you to be so soft-hearted and take him home, you won't have this sympathy when you encounter such a thing before. ”
"How can I say that I also smashed other people's stalls, if I don't make a move, what can he do?" Yang Ting glanced at Sima Xuanhua, who was silent in the car, and said: "I know what the princess is thinking, but as far as I can see, the child's father is just an insignificant junior officer like a lieutenant, not to mention that he doesn't know the affairs of his father's generation, why should the princess be angry with a child?" ”
Yang Xianrong held Sima Xuanhua's hand and said, "My second brother is right, the matter has passed for a long time, forget what you can forget." ”
Sima Xuanhua knew that she was a little exaggerated today, but how could her hatred be easily resolved, but it was a pity that King Zhao died too early, and she couldn't avenge her relatives with her own hands, so that she was too excited to see a child who had only a trace of contact with King Zhao.
"The princess knows why I demolished the child?" Yang Ting asked suddenly.
Sima Xuanhua shook his head, and Yang Ting continued: "Naturally, I can't bear to be fooled by the princess, today the princess is generous, and she will give a silver ingot as soon as she makes a move, so generous, as a man, of course, she can't be stingy than the princess, but I don't have so much money, and I don't want to give a liar, so I had to refute the princess's interest and expose the person." ”
Sima Xuanhua couldn't help laughing, I used to hear Yang Xianrong say that his second brother was a martial artist with infinite strength, but he didn't expect to be so flamboyant, different from the martial artist in her previous impression, looking at it, he was strong and handsome, and he could be called a beautiful man.
Yang Xianrong looked at this, then at that, and interjected: "Second brother, you accepted others as apprentices because you felt guilty about smashing other people's stalls, and such kindness is not like what you did." ”
The corners of Yang Ting's mouth curled slightly, and he said softly: "Naturally, it's also for you." ”
