Chapter 007: The so-called stratagem

But then, it was Zhao Ning's turn to be surprised, and he became a little nervous with every word Yang Fangyu spit out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"First, there are twenty-three chickens and twelve rabbits in the cage. In the second question, the brothers had to find a neighbor to borrow another cow, and the family had 15 cows, a total of 16 cows. The eldest brother takes half of the ox and gets eight cows, the second takes half of the eldest and gets four cows, the third takes half of the second and gets two cows, the fourth takes half of the third and gets one cow, and finally there is one cow left and returns it to the neighbor. I don't know if the foolish brother is right? Yang Fangyu said slowly with a pale face, and finally asked Zhao Ning.

Zhao Ning didn't notice Yang Fangyu's pale face at all, but stared at him fiercely, Zhao Ning really wanted to ask, "Brother, you also crossed over?" ”

But he didn't ask after all, he calmed down for a long time, and decided to see if the other party even knew about Archimedes. So he replied in a voice that was as depressed as possible but still slightly out of shape: "What Brother Yang said is good, the two questions are solved in a proper way, and there is nothing wrong with them." What about the third question? ”

I saw that Yang Fangyu finally showed an endless and lonely look, and shook his head, "Brother Zhao Xian's first question, which is recorded in the "Sutra of Calculations" of the Great Jin Yiben of the previous dynasty, although the second question is ingenious, it is also mentioned in the ancient books of the previous generation, but this third question, the foolish brother is really powerless." I can't imagine that I, Yang Fangyu, am conceited and smart, and I pride myself on being difficult to find an opponent, but today I was defeated by my virtuous brother, and I even had to lose my beloved concubine with my own hands. It's just that I wonder if the virtuous brother can tell me the solution to this third problem? ”

Yang Fangyu was able to answer the first two strange questions, Zhao Ning was surprised, not to mention others, everyone secretly sighed in their hearts that Yang Fangyu was very intelligent.

As for the third question that Yang Fangyu can't help, of course, everyone is more curious.

Yes, you want to identify whether the gold bottle is mixed with silver in the third question, and you don't want people to melt it down, this kind of embarrassing question Yang Fangyu can't answer, can you answer it yourself? If you can't answer it yourself, you can't say that others will lose, you can only change the question, and every bystander thinks the same thing in their hearts.

Zhao Ning had no choice but to explain the method of using the drainage method to find volume, and the series of Archimedes' methods back then, I thought that everyone should suddenly realize, and they were amazed, and they praised him in unison for being a genius. Who knew that it was completely playing the piano to the cow, everyone heard it in a fog, and there were four big words written on their faces: I didn't understand.

Only Yang Fangyu was thoughtful, and seemed to have found a way.

There was no way, Zhao Ning had to pretend that he didn't know how much silver was mixed in the gold bottle, and conducted a series of experiments and calculations, and finally came to a conclusion.

Seeing Zhao Ning's busyness, Yang Fangyu had already understood it, knowing that he had lost unjustly, but others still didn't know why, in the end, Zhao Ning couldn't, and could only melt the gold bottle before confirming his answer.

Fortunately, the gold bottle is not a rare object, it was originally built by Zhao Ning in order to find someone for Yang Fangyu temporarily, and there is no distress if it is melted.

Zhao Ning didn't feel sorry for Jin Zhu here, but Yang Fangyu couldn't help but feel sorry for his Su Qing.

The merry and talented man known as "the handsome man in the world" is almost crying in front of everyone at this moment.

"Luo Jing urgent letter, Luo Jing urgent letter, which one is Yang Gongzi?" A man dressed as a messenger hurriedly barged in, only to ask which one was Yang Fangyu.

"The old lady is seriously ill, please return to Beijing as soon as possible!" Under the guidance of others, the man ran to Yang Fangyu and shouted on his knees.

Yang Fangyu was saddened because the boat capsized in the gutter and lost the love of his heart, and he hadn't come back to his senses for a while.

Suddenly, he knelt down in front of him, and he was just about to ask, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly flashed. At this moment, a sharp dagger had already stabbed at him, aiming directly at his heart.

Yang Fangyu has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his skills are extraordinary, but at this moment, he is losing his mind, and he is calculating or unintentional, although he realized that something was wrong at the last moment, but he still couldn't dodge, and he was about to be injured by the assassin.

He saw two figures flash past him, one pushing him aside to help him avoid the sharp dagger's stab, the other slamming a palm directly into the assassin's arm, and the other advancing sideways, dropping the dagger in the man's hand.

At the same time, two other people followed closely and subdued the assassin to the ground.

However, it was Zhao Hu, Wang Long, Li San, and Li Si who subdued the assassin in an instant, and each of the four of them was above the assassin, and the four of them had been together for many years, and with tacit understanding, it was natural for only one assassin to be subdued. And during the whole process, Uncle Lian just silently stayed by Zhao Ning's side and did not make a move.

Yang Fangyu was assassinated, and everyone was shocked for a while, and County Lieutenant Wang jumped up even more suddenly, his old face turned red, and he didn't know whether he was anxious or ashamed, so he couldn't help but say, three steps and two steps, came to the front, and kicked the assassin's heart hard.

At this time, he ate the assassin's heart alive, if Yang Fangyu was really killed on the ground of the dunes, then it was still a trivial matter for him, a petty official, and I am afraid that the lives of the family would have to be confessed, how could he not hate it?

The crowd hurriedly pulled him down, after all, the assassin was still dead. When County Lieutenant Wang turned around, he also knew that he was angry and too reckless, if this assassin really kicked him to death, wouldn't he be even more suspicious of being unclear?

But what was afraid of something, and when everyone pulled the assassin from the ground, they really saw him roll his eyes and spit black blood - dead.

Just when County Lieutenant Wang was about to fall into a situation where he couldn't argue, Yang Fangyu spoke, "Don't do Lord Wang's business, the assassin vomited black blood from his mouth, but he died of poisoning, and Lord Wang's kick just made him breathe a few breaths of poisonous fire earlier." ”

It was this fright that made Yang Fangyu regain his consciousness and see the situation clearly in an instant.

Everyone saw that he was only lonely at the moment, as if nothing could stir up a trace of waves in his heart at this time. "Yang's coming east this time is very ridiculous, and he has offended the princes, and now he has lost Su Qing and been assassinated again, everything is Yang's own fault. Xu Xianling and Wang County, please don't track down the mastermind behind the assassin anymore, this matter will end here, Yang really doesn't want to implicate others anymore. ”

Then, Yang Fangyu plucked up his courage again, looked at Su Xiaowan, and said quietly, "Su Qing, you and I know each other, I don't want to end up being a fateful ending, Yang Mou's skills are not as good as others and I am ashamed of you, this is beyond words, I can only blame me for you day by day in the next few decades." ”

After saying a few words, he didn't have the shame to wait for Su Xiaowan to say anything, he only turned his head to Zhao Ning, and said: "Brother Zhao Xian, Su Qing still has some personal items (actually referring to the 300,000 stone grain) that are still in Lanling in the neighboring county at the moment, and I will ask Brother Zhao Xian to accompany Su Qing to retrieve them another day." The virtuous brother is the dragon and phoenix, the foolish brother is ashamed of himself, and I hope that the virtuous brother can treat Su Qing well in the future, and cause a white head, don't be like a foolish brother, and let down the beautiful lady. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, Yang is leaving." As he spoke, he was about to turn around and leave alone, but there was a slight wave of his sleeves and the meaning of not taking away a cloud.

During the whole process, Su Xiaowan didn't say a word to him, and she didn't know whether it was resentment or helplessness.

But Zhao Ning opened his mouth and said, "Brother Yang is slow, the so-called gentleman does not take the favor of others, and I heard that Su Qing redeemed herself that day, and her freedom should be her own decision." You and I have a gambling fight, but it's just a joke during the banquet, everything depends on Su Qing's meaning. ”

Zhao Ning was right, the two of them eloped that day, and Su Xiaowan redeemed himself with his own savings, but it was not him Yang Fangyu who redeemed himself for others. Zhao Ning's words, Yang Fangyu couldn't refute it, but at this moment, even if Su Xiaowan still liked him, what face did he have to let the beauty follow him, for a while, he was also in retreat, unable to speak, so he could only stand on the spot and look at Su Qing silently.

All the rulings were finally handed over to Su Xiaowan, she had never felt so clearly at any time as at this moment that her fate was in her hands, and all this was given to her by the childish twelve-year-old boy in front of her.

Her fate is so ironic, when she was just remembering at the age of five, she was sold by her biological father to the place called Meilou. There, she has seen countless women who have captivated the country and the city, and heard countless vows and alliances under the moon before the flowers, but she has never seen a happy woman who "can win the heart of one person and the white head is inseparable".

She is afraid that she will be like Xin Niang, when she is old and decrepit, she will be reduced to the backyard of Meilou, flushing the toilet for a son and a beautiful woman, she is afraid that she will marry a concubine who is full of copper stench in the future, and she is even more afraid that she will be bullied by other people's wives in a negative man's house in the future.

She wants to control her own destiny, so she has saved countless gold, jewelry, and jade, so she will do everything to redeem herself, she wants to follow the dashing Yang Fangyu, not only because he was moved by Yang Fangyu's pursuit, but also because she wants to be with a person who is both talented and beautiful, but also because she believes that a talented person like Yang Fangyu who is famous in the world will take care of her reputation, and will be afraid of reputation and will not treat her harshly, so that she can have a stable home.

But she was wrong.

When she saw Yang Fangyu openly deceive many businessmen, and saw Yang Fangyu take out half of the 600,000 stone grain he had deceived back to invite him to buy fame, and she was praised as a result, she knew that she was wrong.

Yang Fangyu was concerned about his reputation, but what he cared about was the opinions of scholars and the common people, and the merchants at the end of the four people were not among his Yang eldest princes.

At that moment, Su Xiaowan knew that Yang Fangyu would not really cherish and take care of herself, a woman from a lowly background in a Qinglou, after all, her status was lower than that of those businessmen. Even if Yang Fangyu abandons her one day, people will not accuse him. On the contrary, he will say that he is not confused by beauty, he can afford to put it down, and he is a big husband.

She is not surprised by all this, she grew up in the Qinglou, she has seen a lot of these.

The year before last, that is, when Su Xiaowan was thirteen years old, didn't she hear the tragic news of Aunt He. He Pian'er was one of the most popular girls in Meilou a few years ago, and later married an official in Jingzhou and became a concubine. I heard that the year before last, when Jingzhou was flooded and ran for her life, her husband held the old lady with his left hand and his wife with his right hand, and he didn't even look at the crane Pian'er who was following him.

As a result, Aunt Crane was ashamed and angry, and she threw herself into the river and left this dirty world.

There are countless such things in the Qinglou woman, what is the difference between her Su Xiaowan?

The difference is that Su Xiaowan is smart, she can understand the first type of strategy of Zhao Ning's rice fried Dafa, the second type of strategy of Yang Fangyu Shun's hand in hand, the third type of strategy of fame and fortune, and even the fourth type of strategy that determines her fate.

Yang Fangyu is happy to have some stories with a talented girl like her and win the reputation of a romantic talent. But after all, she will not break with the family because of her and give up her good future.

Today's Tianxiangju, everything today, is just a trick. A trick in which Zhao Ning wants to snatch himself and Yang Fangyu wants to leave. The two men have their own hearts, their own plans, and each other's calculations, and she Su Xiaowan is just one of them.

And the so-called stratagem is nothing but a show of greed, lust and competition for fame and fortune, and it is a kind of torture of people's hearts in this world.

She understands everything, since Yang Fangyu said that she wanted to accept Zhao Ning's betting, she understood. Yang Fangyu did not accept this gamble because he believed that he would not lose, but wanted to pretend to be helpless through this loss, so that the world would praise him for his romance and not scold him for being lucky.

Even if Zhao Ning didn't have the third question that could really stump Yang Fangyu, Yang Fangyu would still release the water in the end, he came here today just to lose, all this, Su Xiaowan had already seen it clearly.

What she doesn't understand, or what she can still have a little expectation, is whether the man in front of her, who is three years younger than herself, is a real man with affection and righteousness.

But is there really such a man in this world?

Aren't men all about tasting women's flesh and looking for that moment of pleasure from women? What difference will be made in front of this Zhao Ning?

It wasn't until Zhao Ning said that everything depended on her Su Xiaowan's meaning that she had some hopes. Maybe this is a man who really cares about her feelings, or maybe this is really not a man who just wants to conquer and possess her.

"The little girl is just a hard-working person, she was born without loving her parents, and when she grows up, she is just like duckweed, drifting with the flow. But when Xiao Wan followed Yang Gongzi to the east, she once said that the little woman's body is like a river going eastward, and there is no reason to return to the west. Today, Yang Gongzi wants to return to Shenjing, but the little woman swears in front, and she can't go west to send it off, so she can only say a word of cherishment. Saying that, Su Xiaowan had no intention of giving him any more salutes, and took a step back, but stood beside Zhao Ning.

That night, in the red tent, the beauty was alone, endless grievances and tears flowed silently. Su Xiaowan cried almost until dawn. By the time dawn was near, she was already dazed and unconscious. However, at that moment, she seemed to see a ray of guidance given to her by the gods, a ray of sunshine, a gospel that saved her.

She stretched out her hands and tried to grasp the light, full of melancholy and trance, as if she saw that where the light came from, it was the young man - Ning.

The words on the turquoise green flower paper flowed in her heart again:

"The crows are gone,

Xiaoli hates because of whom.

Ten years of sorrow and suffering,

Duckweed flows with the water.

The word heart has turned to ashes.

What is the end of the road?

Returning! ”

When Su Xiaowan called her "Ning" in her dream, Yang Fangyu's temporary residence in Lanl County.

"Young master, the master has a letter delivered, young master, open it and take a look."

Yang Fangyu did not open the letter, but pinched the letter in his hand a few times, "'Angelica', 'Angelica', yes, it's time to go back to Beijing, let's go!" ”

"Young Master, what about Miss Su?"

"'A thousand flowers have passed through the bushes, and not a single leaf has touched the body.'" It's your young master, from now on, there will be no more Miss Su. ”

Although everyone says that women are like clothes, only a character like the young master can abandon the world's most talented women, the young master is absolutely extraordinary, with him, the future of the Yang family will definitely get better and better.

The horses galloped wildly, and the subordinates who followed behind Yang Fangyu all felt that the young master in front of him was extremely tall, and following such a master, he must not worry about the future, gold and silver.

They were all sighing in their hearts, when they saw the young master in front of the horse raising the gourd, taking a sip of the liquor in a dashing manner, and chanting a wonderful poem:

"The rivers and lakes are carrying wine, Su Xiao is slender and light in his palm.

Ten years of Yangzhou dream, won the Qinglou Bo Xing name. ”

The young master is really a person who does great things, he is not bound by the personal feelings of his children, he can not only make the beauties fall in love, but also be able to retract and release freely, just with this good story, he will definitely be able to overshadow the other three sons.

It's just that no one saw that under the moonlight that night, Yang Fangyu swallowed a mouthful of blood that vomited out alive.
