Li Tao played it again according to his words, and Xi Xiaoqian replayed it on the zither, which was exactly the same as the original song, and even more poignant.

"Everyone, this song is a gift from me, can you keep it secret for me, don't let it be popular in the community?"

"Li Tao, why is this?" Cheng Dezhang was puzzled.

"Master, the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it, I don't want others to disturb my current life!"

Cheng Dezhang was stunned.

Xi Xiaoqian nodded and agreed: "Li Xiaolang, don't worry, even if you are willing, I can't bear the ears of those ordinary people to pollute this heavenly sound!" ”

Speaking of this, Xi Xiaoqian smiled: "Li Xiaolang, you wait, so that the slave family can clean up!" ”

Li Tao was inexplicable: "Everyone, you are ......"

"It's said that there is no merit, I accepted this generous gift from you, so naturally I want to go and meet that Nie Shenshu with you!"

Li Tao got up and gave Xi Xiaoqian a deep bow: "Thank you, everyone!" ”

……

Nie Wushuang walked back and forth among several students who practiced abacus with his hands behind his back, listening to the crackling sound of abacus, his heart felt comfortable for a while.

Nie Wushuang is in his thirties and is a native of Shucheng. Nie Wushuang has been related to abacus since he was a child, his father is a businessman, and he knows the hard work of business, so he doesn't want Nie Wushuang to engage in business again. Who knew that Nie Wushuang grabbed Zhou when he was a child, and he didn't even look at anything else, so he climbed to the farthest place, and hugged the abacus into his arms without hesitation, so that his father could call it heaven's will.

Nie Wushuang began to learn the plan at the age of three, and when he was ten years old, the name of "abacus prodigy" became well-known in Luzhou Mansion, and even those decades-old account keepers had to be convinced, calling him a genius who was rare in a century.

Nie Wushuang not only has a good abacus, but also has a business acumen that is not good at planning. In his opinion, life is like an abacus, you have to catch up all the time, you won't have a chance if you fall, one on the top is against the five below! After the death of his father, Nie Wushuang took over the family business, because he was good at seizing the opportunity and doing business, he had already accumulated tens of thousands of family fortunes.

Nie Wushuang is a famous figure in Shucheng, when he is fine, he has an abacus under his arm, walks everywhere, and people respect him everywhere he goes, and they all call him "Nie Shensuan". The abacus is handed down from the ancestors, with two in the upper row and five in the lower row, and the beads are all ground to reveal the background. When he took a step, a string of abacus beads rang, and that was the sound of "Nie Shen Calculation".

Although Nie Wushuang entrusts his business to others and rarely asks about it, he is still willing to be with the abacus every day, and he will not hear the sound of the abacus beads for a while, so he feels that he is not giving up. When I was young, I often tried to compare calculations with others, and I never failed. Three years ago, after competing with the "Jingshi Divine Calculation" caused him to end up depressed, Nie Wushuang no longer competed with others, but instead opened a museum at home to teach apprentices.

"Sir! Someone out there wants to see you! A subordinate came to pay his respects.

"Didn't you see me teaching? Missing! Nie Wushuang said with an angry face.

"Yes, sir!" The subordinate turned around in panic.

"Wait, can anyone report their names?" Nie Wushuang stopped his subordinates and asked casually.

"Yes, sir! The name of the person who came to report was Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian! ”

"Huh? Is it them? Nie Wushuang lost his voice.

Nie Wushuang, who has lived in Shucheng all his life, how could he not know the names of Cheng Caizi and Xi Sizhu. Although Nie Wushuang and Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian are known as the "Three Uniques of Shucheng", the status of the businessmen in the Tang Dynasty is low, and they are naturally ranked last. Over the years, Nie Wushuang had never dealt with these two people, and now that these two came to visit together, Nie Wushuang was a little confused.

"Invite them to the living room, serve them tea, and serve them! I'll see them when I get dressed! Nie Wushuang pondered for a moment before commanding his subordinates.

After a while, Nie Wushuang appeared in front of Li Tao and the others. After greetings, Nie Wushuang, Cheng Dezhang, and Xi Xiaoqian knelt on the ground, but Li Tao and Fan Changfeng stood on the side.

"Master Cheng, everyone, I don't know what to teach you today?" Nie Wushuang asked cautiously.

Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian listened to Nie Wushuang's question, and Qi Qi set their eyes on Li Tao, although they were all invited by Li Tao, but they didn't know anything about what they were going to do.

When Nie Wushuang saw this situation, he couldn't help but be surprised: he thought that Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian came to visit him because of something important, but he didn't think that they were just foils, and the main owner turned out to be this child on the side.

Nie Wushuang didn't know who Li Tao was, but he could invite Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian at the same time, so naturally he couldn't be underestimated.

"This little Langjun is polite!"

"'Nie Shen calculates', you don't have to be polite! My name is Li Tao, and I invite Master Cheng and everyone to come to visit me today, because I have something to ask for! Li Tao made a gesture towards Nie Wushuang.

"Oh? Li Xiaolangjun, what do you say! ”

"'Nie Shensuan', I don't know if there are tables and chairs in your mansion?" Li Tao replied to the question.

"This ...... Naturally, there is! I don't know ...... Li Xiaolangjun" Nie Wushuang didn't know what Li Tao meant, so he had to ask.

"'Nie Shensuan', I am not suitable to kneel and sit because of my physical condition, can you let me sit on the table and chair, so that it is convenient for us to talk. You can't let me stand here and talk to you, can you? Li Tao said with a smile.

"This ......" Nie Wushuang hesitated a little, he set his eyes on Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian.

There was a reason for Nie Wushuang's hesitation. Cheng Dezhang was born as a scholar, and there must be a lot of etiquette rules. Although Xi Xiaoqian is a Qinglou woman, she has a good reputation for her dignified manners. But Li Tao proposed to use Hu tables and chairs, if the rules are broken, wouldn't it make people laugh?

Cheng Dezhang didn't know Nie Wushuang's concerns, he smiled and said: "'Nie Shensuan', you don't know, this Li Tao has always had no rules, I have long been used to it!" I'm not pedantic, and if you weren't embarrassed, I wouldn't care! ”

Xi Xiaoqian said more directly: "I think Li Xiaolangjun's proposal is very good!" Etiquette is in the heart, since there are no outsiders, why sit upright? ”

"That's good! Since the two of you have no objection, then the host is free to be a guest! ”

Nie Wushuang saw that Cheng Dezhang and Xi Xiaoqian took good care of Li Tao, and naturally looked down on him again in his heart.

The subordinates changed the Hu table and Hu chairs, and when everyone sat down, Li Tao went straight to the point and said: "'Nie Shensuan', I really don't hide it, I came to visit today to learn this abacus skill with you!" ”

"Huh?" Nie Wushuang, Cheng Dezhang, and Xi Xiaoqian were all stunned when they heard this.

Xi Xiaoqian couldn't help but be stunned in her heart: although she had never seen Nie Wushuang's abacus magic skill, she had already heard of it. This Li Tao dared to say that he would compete with Nie Wushuang, and he must be confident. Could it be that he is not only proficient in music theory, but also a master of abacus? Is there really such a genius in the world?
