At the age of twenty-two, Xi Xiaoqian saved face for Datang and made her fame even bigger.

That year, a monk from the Western Regions came to Datang to travel, thinking that he was good at playing the pipa, and he was very conceited, so he wanted to test his skills with the musicians of Datang. This Hu monk is indeed superior, not only good at playing the pipa, but also good at composing, and the pipa he plays is much thicker than the ordinary pipa strings. He started from Chang'an, from north to south, one state after another, and competed with the highest level musicians in each state.

Before arriving in Luzhou, Hu Seng had been to thirty-six states, and he had never lost a single one. After Hu Seng arrived in Luzhou, Xi Xiaoqian was elected to compete with Hu Seng.

Hu Seng saw that Xi Xiaoqian was a weak woman, so he looked down on her at all. After meeting, he said bluntly: "I'll play a natural sound for you, so that you can see and understand!" ”

After speaking, Hu Seng arrogantly and rudely played the ancient Western song, thinking that no one in the Tang Dynasty knew this song, let alone played this song.

After going down again, Xi Xiaoqian said to Hu Seng very disdainfully: "Is this song also a natural sound?" I can play whatever I want. ”

After speaking, Xi Xiaoqian took a pipa that was thicker and larger than the strings of the instrument played by Hu Seng and played it on the spot, and the pipa music played was exactly the same as that of Hu Seng.

Hu Seng was shocked, he didn't expect a weak woman in the Tang Dynasty to be able to play such an esoteric ancient song. With awe of Xi Xiaoqian, Hu Seng returned directly to the Western Regions from Luzhou, and never stepped into the Tang Dynasty again.

After listening to Mr. Xu tell the legendary experience of this Xiao Qian, Li Tao and Fan Changfeng didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Li Tao suddenly asked: "Uncle Xu, can these 'Shucheng Three Uniques' be familiar with each other?" ”

"I don't know about this, 'Shucheng Three Uniques' is just a praise from people who do good things, I guess they won't be familiar with it!"

"What a grand occasion it would be if these three people got together!" Fan Changfeng muttered to himself.

Fan Changfeng's words reminded Li Tao, and a bold thought flashed through Li Tao's mind.

"Uncle Xu, it's not early, we're going back, thank you for your hospitality! Next time we have time, we'll come back to you for a drink! After Li Tao said goodbye to Uncle Xu, he pulled Fan Changfeng and left in a hurry.

Along the way, Li Tao didn't speak, just silently thought about his thoughts.

When they broke up, Li Tao solemnly said to Fan Changfeng: "Jiulang, I have thought of a way to earn two thousand yuan!" Don't do anything about this, hurry up and practice your mental arithmetic! ”

Fan Changfeng asked with a sense of clarity: "Ah Tao, are you going to let me compete with that 'Nie Shensuan'?" ”

"Exactly!"

"But ......" Fan Changfeng hesitated.

"Jiulang, I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too! You just have to practice mental arithmetic, and I'll do the rest. Again, brothers are united in their interests and gold, and I believe that we will succeed. Li Tao clenched his fists and encouraged Fan Changfeng.

"Okay! Atau, I got it! I'll practice hard! Fan Changfeng nodded.

"Jiuro, remember, practice multiplication with more than four digits!" Li Tao said meaningfully.

Li Tao knew in his heart that the abacus may have advantages in addition and subtraction, but it is inferior to mental arithmetic in multiplication and division, and the larger the number, the more obvious the advantage of mental arithmetic.

The sky was a deep blue, and as night wore on, a flock of homing birds swept overhead, and smoke was still rising from the chimneys in the distance.

Cheng Dezhang made a pot of tea in front of him, held a book in his hand, and read it with relish.

"Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock on the door outside.

Cheng Dezhang frowned, Mrs. knows her habits and never bothers herself at this time, what's going on today?

Cheng Dezhang, who was full of displeasure, opened the door of the house and was about to get angry, but he was suddenly stunned: it was Li Tao standing outside the house.

"Master, I ...... I'm looking for you...... Let's talk about it! "Li Tao period Ai Ai Dao.

Cheng Dezhang was surprised: "You? Looking for me? What are you discussing? ”

"I want to ask the master for a favor!"

……

Second, when the students came to the private school early, Cheng Fuzi announced in public: There is something to do today, and the students will have a holiday.

……

Fan Changfeng's journey is not to mention how awkward it is, he has been playing drums in his heart, and he has long been less comfortable than going to the county seat with Li Tao. Fan Changfeng really couldn't understand what method Li Tao used to make the master not go to class and follow them to the county seat. Thinking of this, Fan Changfeng couldn't help but glance back, Cheng Fuzi was still as serious as ever, and strode behind him and Li Tao.

In fact, Fan Changfeng wronged Li Tao, and he didn't use any means. Last night, when Li Tao told the reason for inviting Cheng Dezhang, Cheng Dezhang didn't even ask about Li Tao's plan, and promised to go to the county with Li Tao, which caused Li Tao to prepare a lot of rhetoric that he didn't have time to use.

Li Tao thought about his plan as he walked, and he must not make a mistake in any link, otherwise everything will fall short.

The three of them were silent, and they each hurried away, and after a while, they came to the county seat.

Li Tao had never been to the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", but everyone in Shucheng knew the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", and after asking passers-by, they quickly found the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion".

Fan Changfeng felt that Li Tao was crazy, he not only brought Master Cheng to the county seat, but also led Master to Qinglou, if this spread, it would definitely become a laughing stock.

Cheng Dezhang was also a little unbearable, although he didn't want to know what Li Tao's plan was, but Li Tao led him to the Qinglou, which he didn't expect.

It was in the morning, and the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion" was open, but it had not yet started business. The three of them walked into the "Hundred Flowers Pavilion", although no one came to greet them, but this did not prevent Li Tao from seeing the old bustard Wang's mother-in-law.

"This Xiao Langjun, Xiao Qian slept late yesterday, and she hasn't woken up yet! Please come back first! Granny Wang listened to Li Tao's intention, and naturally blocked Xi Xiaoqian's drive.

"Granny Wang, please tell everyone Xi, just say that Shucheng Cheng is a talented person to visit everyone Xi, if she doesn't see her, then we will leave!" Li Tao pointed at Cheng Dezhang and said.

The fat on Fan Changfeng's face trembled, he couldn't help it, he didn't expect Li Tao's skin to be so thick.

Cheng Dezhang also understood a little, he was used by Li Tao, and Li Tao took himself as a "worship". But Cheng Dezhang really can't understand what this has to do with earning two thousand yuan, since he can't figure it out, then wait and see, Cheng Dezhang didn't expose Li Tao's lies.

Granny Wang obviously also listened to Cheng Dezhang's name, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Please wait a while, Cheng Dacai, I'll ask Xiaoqian!" ”

After a while, Granny Wang went and returned: "Cheng Dacai, Miss Xiaoqian is invited!" ”
