"Still hurt?"

"I was sturdy, can it not hurt?" Zhou Quan asked with his hand on his buttocks, and said with a sigh.

"My brother is excellent, but sometimes he likes to talk nonsense." Shi Shi pursed his lips and gently grabbed his palm.

This palm is very warm, although it is not a big slap, but it has made the master feel strong and reliable. When the gangster caught him that day, it was this palm, and he obviously had a chance to get out, but he still greeted the gangster......

If it is said that before, the teacher still looked down on Zhou Quan in the depths of her heart, but after the events of that day, she became close to Zhou Quan from strangers.

"Where am I talking nonsense, who knew they would have such a big reaction, aren't they just not allowed to join the army, thinking that I really want to be a general......"

"That's also brother, you speculate about people's hearts." Shishi smiled again.

Zhou Quan's beating was really bad luck, he thought that the Zhou family, as a family of forbidden soldiers, might pursue meritorious service in the army, but he never thought that Zhou Fu and Zhou's mother didn't want him to join the army at all.

The Zhou family used to be prosperous, but because of the loss of the battle array, in Zhou Quan's generation, even if Zhou Dong's room was counted, he was the only seedling left. Zhou Fu would rather give up his military position and become a subordinate, in addition to seeing the things that are not used to eating empty salaries in the forbidden army and destroying the bereaved families of the sergeants, he also does not want Zhou Quan to follow the old path of his ancestors.

Zhou Quan complained a few times in front of his teacher, but when Li Bao pushed open the door and brought in with the neighborhood boys, his expression changed.

Fifteen teenagers, twelve remaining, and three more have withdrawn and have been ticked off from the list of others.

"Go ahead today!" Zhou Quan didn't say much, just gave orders to the teenagers.

When they came to the old land, they were still building a shelf, and there were already anxious people who came to guess the riddle.

Compared to the first time, this time the preparation was more thorough, and the teenagers did a much better job, so the day went very smoothly. In addition, there were more people who came to guess the riddle this time, and after most of the day, they actually earned more than 100 yuan.

Twelve teenagers, plus Zhou Quan, Shishi and Li Bao, are still fifteen people, earning more than 100 yuan, which is still less, but it is enough to make some teenagers feel uplifted.

"Come back the day after tomorrow, everyone will go back and think about what we can improve in this breakthrough, and we will come to my house tomorrow and discuss it." Seeing that everyone was in high spirits, Zhou Quan said again.

One person is short, and everyone is long, and Zhou Quan feels that if he has to think about everything by himself, it is too tiring, and it is not in line with his usual lazy temperament.

"One hundred wen, hahahaha...... After a busy day, you only earned a hundred wen? Just as they were leaving, the fat Jada reappeared.

This time, Jada learned his lesson and didn't follow the side all day, but he sent someone to keep an eye on Zhou Quan, while he played elsewhere, and he didn't appear here until Zhou Quan and they were ready to close the stall.

"Hey, Zhou Quan, you might as well come and be my companion, I'll give you 100 yuan a day, and you, come and play with me, I'll give you 20 yuan a day!" Seeing that Zhou Quan ignored himself, Jada shouted again.

Zhou Quan sighed, this guy is still stubborn, why don't you learn a lesson?

"You're not worth the price." Zhou Quan said without looking back.

"What?" Jada was stunned again.

"I mean, every time you come to accompany us, it's not worth a hundred yuan, and a product like you is only worth so much."

Zhou Quan said as he stretched his hand behind him, and the master put a copper coin in his palm very tacitly. Seeing this scene, Jia Da immediately pursed his mouth vigilantly, for fear that Zhou Quan would stuff this money into his mouth again.

The teenagers who followed him stepped forward in unison, waiting for Jada to give the order before they started fighting. But Jada's gaze met Zhou Quan's gaze, and he only felt that there seemed to be something else in the other party's eyes besides banter.

It was this other thing that made Jada's heart weak, and he didn't dare to greet everyone according to the original plan.

A penny was thrown between Jada's legs, and Zhou Quan clapped his hands: "Okay, the reward is for you, you can play while playing." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhou Quan led the people away, leaving Jada there to grit his teeth.

"Zhou Quan, you remember, you wait for me!" After Zhou Quan walked a little farther, Jada shouted behind him.

Zhou Quan didn't look back, just raised his hand to indicate that he had heard.

Although there were no emotional fluctuations on his face, Zhou Quan felt funny in his heart.

Playing childish intrigue games with children is not in vain for his current age.

"Brother, there is a fat man in Neitongjia!" After returning home and sending away the teenagers, the teacher said very seriously.

"Uh, how do you know?" Zhou Quan's expression was very relaxed.

"Today's accounting, my voice is very small, only a few people around me heard it, if it weren't for someone inside, Jia Fatzi would not know our income today!"

Zhou Quan laughed and touched Shishi's little head: "Shishi is really smart, it doesn't matter, I don't care!" ”

The master looked at Zhou Quan suspiciously, but Zhou Quan didn't explain: "You can rest assured." ”

In the next few days, Zhou Quan still took the neighborhood teenagers to guess the color riddles, and then went to Zhou Quan's house to summarize. Their daily harvest varies, ranging from 300 to 500 yuan.

This amount of money is just enough for the cost of expenditure, and there is a slight surplus. But more than ten people worked hard to earn this money, it was really not interesting, it was better to go to the Bianhe River to sell coolies.

However, the game of "breaking through the sky" has earned a relatively large reputation, and now every day when they set up a stall, there are as few as twenty or thirty people, and as many as hundreds of people, who will regularly come to the scene to see the excitement.

"Brother, the riddles I remember are almost all done now." After the fifth stall, the master said to Zhou Quan with a worried face.

"What, your riddles are almost done?" Zhou Quan was stunned and asked.

Originally, he and his teacher walked behind and whispered, which the teenagers in front of him couldn't hear. But because Zhou Quan's voice was a little louder, the teenagers in front also heard it.

One of them, Zheng Jian, who was called "smart and diligent" by Zhou Quan, was one of the two people, and his heart jumped suddenly.

He pricked up his ears and listened, and then heard Zhou Quan say again: "It's okay, just use the old puzzle to change it." ”

Zheng Jian unconsciously teased his brows, pursed his lips, and thought thoughtfully.

When he arrived at Zhou Quan's house, after everyone dispersed, he did not go back to his house directly, but quietly walked to another square and stopped at the side door of a large mansion.

He first looked left and right, and saw that no one was paying attention to him, and then he knocked on the door, said a few words to the servant who opened the door, and then entered it.

When he entered the door, he was led by the servant, and after turning a few corners, he came to a small courtyard.

At this time, the weather was sultry, and the little fat man Jada was sitting under the pavilion in the small courtyard, holding a pu fan to enjoy the cool for a while, and when he saw Zheng Jian coming, he said lazily: "How did they harvest today?" ”

"I received one thousand and twenty-seven pieces today." Zheng Jian said with a grin.

He leaned in front of Jada, looking like he wanted to be rewarded, but Jada frowned: "Why are there more...... Didn't I say that you would make trouble, you don't want to take my money and do nothing! ”

Zheng Jian scolded secretly in his heart, but he still smiled on his face: "Da Lang said that he was funny, you don't know Zhou Quan's temper, if I make trouble directly, I will be driven out immediately, who else will report to Da Lang?" ”

"But what you reported was all bad news, the first time it was twenty words, the second time it was more than one hundred words, and the third time it was more than three hundred words...... Now it's the sixth time, and there are already more than 1,000 texts! Jada kicked a stone into the pond with a hateful kick, as if the bad stone was Zhou Quan.

"There is good news, I heard the little lady say today that her riddle has run out, and Zhou Quan said that she will start using the old riddle tomorrow...... I remember the answer to the old mystery! ”

Hearing Zheng Jian say this, Jada's eyes suddenly lit up, and he smiled: "Really? ”

"Yes, do I dare to scold you!"

Jada grabbed Zheng Jian with his hand: "Bring it, bring it quickly!" ”

Zheng Jian smiled silently, and Jada rolled his eyes and said to him, "You wait here!" ”

He asked Zheng Jian to wait, and he ran quickly to the inner courtyard, shouting as he ran: "Mother, mother!" ”

rushed into the inner courtyard, but he hadn't found his mother yet, and he shouted head-on and froze him: "Crazy and crazy, what's the reason!" ”

Jia Yi, who was dressed in a small official's costume, walked out of the back room with his hands behind his back, and his face was not good. However, Jada was not afraid of him, and stretched out his hand: "Give me the usual money!" ”

Jia Yi's brows suddenly furrowed: "What do you want so much money for, could it be that your companions should take you to Guanpu?" ”

Guan Pu is gambling, and Jada waved his hand again and again: "No, I want to reward people!" ”

"Hehe, you are generous, you Lao Tzu and I collect taxes under the city gate, and I haven't seen a few people who have consistently paid rewards!" Jia Yi sneered twice.

"It's to deal with Zhou Quan, it's the son of Zhou Fu that your father is going to deal with!" Jada shouted.

Originally, Jia Yi didn't care about this matter, and only wanted to teach his son a lesson, but when he heard this, his heart moved.

He has already sent Xiong Daxiong Er to keep an eye on Zhou Quan, but those two goods are scoundrels in the market, and their hearts are more treacherous, and they have always been unable to work, which makes Jia Yi very disappointed.

Unexpectedly, his son was the first to match Zhou Quan.

"What's going on, you tell me about it!" Jia Yi said in a deep voice.

Jada didn't know his father's plans, he just wanted to overwhelm Zhou Quan among teenagers of the same age, and the two families had never been on good terms, so he had to gain the upper hand in front of Zhou Quan.

He told the origin of the matter, Jia Yi was slightly happy after listening to it, and praised: "Not bad, not bad, you know that you have done a good job of buying the people around him...... Finally more sensible, it seems that my son is gradually growing up to be a governor! ”

"That's nature!" Jada beamed.

"Even so, you should still put your mind on studying, and studying for the imperial examination is the right way! Roll call outside Donghua Gate, then you can be regarded as a hero! Jia Yi taught two more lessons, and then changed the topic: "How are you going to deal with the Zhou family?" ”

"I have a plan to ruin the Zhou family's riddle." Jada said proudly.

He said his thoughts, and Jia Yi frowned again when he heard it: Sure enough, he is worthy of his own son, and he already has some calculation skills, but his heart is not ruthless enough.

"If you want to do it, you will make it bigger, so that the Zhou family will owe huge debts, so that his father will have to bow to me obediently!" He said in a deep voice.

In the light, the shadows of the father and son gradually approached, Jia Yi was talking, Jada was nodding, and from time to time, Jada's wicked laughter came out.
