Tang Xiucai and Tang Yi lived in Tianfei Palace for another two days, there was no entanglement of interests, the relationship between the two sides was quickly repaired, Tang Xiucai got all the places that needed to be written, and promised the truth, and only then did he just give orders in the future, and then he happily went home.

Walking on the road, Tang Xiucai looked pleasing everywhere, and the smile on his face never broke.

"Yi'er, why is it a little bit of a spring breeze and horseshoe disease!"

"It's autumn, okay?" Tang Yi was speechless, but it was not good to disturb his father's interest. Two hundred taels of silver is not a small amount, it is almost the harvest of ten farmers in a year, the two of them have made a windfall, there is money in their pockets, people suddenly changed, when passing by the restaurant, they ordered more than 20 dishes, and asked the man to send them to his home. The table was so small that it was all set on the bed.

Tang Xiucai couldn't help frowning, and said: "Yi'er, I think it's time to change the table, by the way, the chair should also be changed, the bed is too small and uncomfortable, replace it with Jin Sinan's ......."

"Okay, can you change the house?"

"That's right." Tang Xiucai said: "To be honest, this bamboo building is really not a place for people. ”

It wasn't good to live in the past, Tang Yi also knew that his father was born in an official family, and he didn't know what it meant to be short of money until he was twenty years old. He has really suffered over the years, so let's toss it!

As the so-called poor people have money, it is like a string, after the celebration banquet, Tang Xiucai suddenly couldn't sleep at night, and his heart seemed to have a little mouse constantly scratching, not peaceful, and kept peeking into the cabinet, for fear that the silver would disappear.

Over and over again, as long as you close your eyes, it's as if a thief has jumped in and stolen all the money. After turning over the pancakes, in the middle of the night, the third watch simply got up and put them under the pillow.

Now I can rest assured, but with the hard ingots, the back of my head hurts, and this is not a long-term solution.

Simply, he sat up suddenly, put on his clothes and walked outside.

"Dad, don't you save it?" Tang Yi's eyes were red, and he said angrily.

Tang Xiucai was embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "You haven't slept yet, you can't sleep either?" ”

"I'm asleep—you're waking me up again!" Tang Yi said helplessly: "Dad, grandpa is a county magistrate, you have also eaten it, just two hundred taels of silver, isn't it?" ”

"How can it not, only when you lose it will be precious!" Tang Xiucai said mysteriously: "Yi'er, this is the net worth of our grandfather, my father is going to dig a pit and bury it, and you will ......use it for your daughter-in-law in the future."

Tang Yi rolled his eyelids and said with a smile: "Do you still want to write two hundred taels of silver here?" ”

"Stinky boy, you dare to laugh at your father, looking for a fight!" Tang Xiucai was so angry that he screamed and wanted to fight.

Tang Yi hurriedly begged for mercy and said, "Dad, you always think about it, a child can get silver out of thin air with any idea, what else is there to be afraid of when you are old." ”

Tang Xiucai scratched his head, he was indeed poor, but what the stinky boy said also made sense. He suddenly felt that he was making a fuss, and put the silver on the side of the bed and sat down beside Tang Yi.

"Yi'er, then what do you say should be done next? Daddy listens to you! ”

"You really listen to me?"

"Of course, who made you have the ability!"

Tang Yi also understood that if he didn't appease his father, he didn't want to sleep well.

"Dad, in fact, the child has already thought about it, we still have to go back to Taicang Prefecture, two hundred taels is enough to buy a small courtyard, renting a house is not a way, the child wants to go to a private school to study for a few years, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, if you want to get ahead, you have to take the road of the imperial examination."

Tang Xiucai nodded thoughtfully: "Yi'er is so knowledgeable, my father also thinks so, when I came to Liuhebao, I was greedy for less expenses, but now it seems that my father is short-sighted." Tomorrow, Dad will go back to Taicang to find a suitable house, and when he settles down, he will find a job to earn money, you just have to study hard, Dad will support you, and our Tang family will point to you in the future! ”

The more Tang Xiucai thought about it, the happier he became, but he couldn't sleep anymore, until the fourth watch day fell asleep in a daze, and turned the day, he didn't get up at noon, let alone go to Taicang, and even lunch was left.

Tang Yi was also not interested, so he had to go to the Zhu family's noodle restaurant and eat a bowl of noodles to satisfy his hunger.

As soon as he saw Tang Yi, the shopkeeper smiled, hurriedly walked over, and said gratefully: "Little Xianggong, thanks to you, the dead ghost and the master in the temple have negotiated, you can give us a way to get money!" I'm still thinking, I've made money, I'm going to give you a copy! ”

After finishing speaking, her heart was raised to her throat, she was obviously tempting, Tang Yi didn't understand anything. Now that he has money, he is even more reluctant to worry about the treasurer.

"Aunt Zhu is too polite, it's up to you to make money, I'm just a matchmaker!" Tang Yi smiled modestly: "Do you want to say thank you?" Bring me a bowl of noodles, I haven't eaten in the morning! ”

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper agreed with a smile, his face seemed to bloom, and after a while, a large bowl of noodles was delivered, and in his excitement, he was stunned to put four poached eggs, which made Tang Yi embarrassed, and he became a rice bucket!

The rice bucket is the rice bucket, in short, fill the stomach first. Tang Yi shook off the chopsticks, the hot noodles were hot and hot, and after a while, sweat broke out on his forehead.

He was eating, and at the table opposite sat a young man of twenty years, dressed in a short, with a melon-skin hat, a dogskin plaster of unknown length on his temple, and a short knife in his hand.

It is strictly forbidden to use civil weapons, which is a barbarian and timid style, and in the Ming Dynasty, the common people could carry weapons such as swords. However, armor and banners are not allowed, and once discovered, they must be dealt with as rebellion.

Although the regulations are so, ordinary people who have nothing to do with weapons around them, most of these people are ruffians, idle thugs, and ordinary people are far away.

This kid stared at Tang Yi for a long time, then suddenly stood up and slapped the table.

"Your last name is Tang, isn't it?"

Tang Yi was drinking the fragrant and rich bone broth, and when he saw the other party's appearance, he frowned a little.

"Yes, what advice do you have?"

"Haha! Sure enough, it's you, kid! This guy was immediately beaten with chicken blood, rolled up his arms and sleeves, and made Tang Yi's heart furious.

"Let me ask you, did you change the signboard a few days ago and play Wang Sancai? Also, did you help Shopkeeper Zhu get a new business? ”

"It should be!"

"Sure enough, so you are the smartest person in Liu Hebao!"

Poof, Tang Yi almost squirted out, where is it, before he could tell it, the other party said to himself: "How do you say a sentence, what do you hear, and you don't see what ......"

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing."

"That's right, that's it, okay! Listen to this kid, I want to ask you for help with something, but what about you, I want to test you first, whether you are really smart? ”

Tang Yi is speechless, Lao Zicong is not smart and has a fart relationship with you, it is your turn to test.

"Friend, I still have ......"

"Listen, this is the table." This kid didn't care about Tang Yi at all, and said to himself, "It's this table, there are four corners in total, I will cut down one corner with one knife, how many corners are left?"

That's it,

Seeing that Tang Yi didn't answer, the kid suddenly smiled proudly: "Don't worry, you think about it slowly, my grandfather took the test for me like this back then, and my grandfather came up with it after thinking about it for three days, and my grandfather also said that I was smart enough to take the top prize!" ”

If you can get the top prize, that champion is much less valuable.

Tang Yi is not interested in this kind of child's trick. But this kid held the handle of the knife, and he clearly didn't let himself go without answering.

Tang Yi's eyes rolled, and he happened to see the shopkeeper boiling soup over there, and the idea came.

"Hehehe, one of the four corners has been cut off, and naturally there are only three left, who is hard to live!"

"Haha!" This kid jumped three feet high happily, dancing with his hands, not to mention how proud. Shaking his head and saying: "Stupid, it's really stupid, it seems that Lao Tzu is Liu Hebao, no, he is the smartest person in Taicang Prefecture!" ”

Tang Yi blinked his eyes and deliberately said angrily: "Hey, four minus one equals three, what children know, why did you say it wrong." If I don't tell a reason, I'm not convinced! ”

"I know you're not convinced!"

This kid picked up the Pu knife, swiped it on the table with care, and then said: "See, this knife went down, and cut off a corner, but there were two more horns, so the correct answer is five, understand?" ”

"I don't understand!" Tang Yi shook his head like a rattle.

"It's three, I haven't seen the other two."

"Why are you so stupid!" This kid was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but he didn't know how to explain it.

Tang Yi suddenly smiled: "Otherwise, you cut a knife, and sure enough, as you said, I will believe it." ”

"It's okay to slash it. But I'm right, you're going to admit that I'm the smartest guy! This kid is really persistent, and between words, he pulled out the Pu knife and raised it high!

Click!

A knife fell, the desktop broke in response, and the dishes and chopsticks on it fell to the ground.

"Look, isn't it five?"

"Ah, really!" Tang Yi pretended to be surprised, but couldn't help but smile and said, "Donor, please mourn ......"

Before he could finish speaking, there was a thunderclap, which frightened the kid for a moment, and saw the shopkeeper pounce like a tiger.

"Xu San, you rabbit cub, dare to cut down the old lady's table, see if I don't kill you!" ”
