In the end, Yin Changlong accepted the fact that Hu Ye was a fortune teller, because Hu Ye didn't look like a madman, and the three copper coins were still decent, and the most important thing was that when Hu Ye heard about Zhang Tianshi, the kind of contempt in his eyes couldn't be pretended.

Therefore, Yin Changlong thinks that Hu Ye's confidence in his own entrance examination must be that he has calculated that he is going to be admitted to the Jinshi. But Yin Changlong is a scholar, and he still has reservations about fortune telling, and after chatting with Hu Ye for a while, he went back to his room.

Now that he has a quiet room, it's time to study hard, and he can't rely on Hu Ye's three copper coins to think that he will definitely be able to become a jinshi.

Looking at Yin Changlong's departing back, Hu Ye nodded with satisfaction. If ordinary people knew that they were such a powerful fortune teller, most of them would wait for the Zhongjin Shi, and in the end, they didn't get it.

"Young master, when will you also teach me fortune telling, I also want to calculate whether I will suffer a loss if I follow the young master." Lao Qian poured the last bit of the wine jug into his mouth, and after glancing at Xiao Qiang with disdain, he said to Hu Ye with flattery.

"Just you?" Hu Ye saw that Lao Qian actually despised Xiaoqiang, how could this work, Xiaoqiang just looked down on himself, so he glanced at Lao Qian with disdain, and then put away the three copper coins in his hand, and said slowly, "Do you remember what Monk Juehui told me in Xiangshan Temple?" ”

Lao Qian tried to recall, but a few months had passed, and he really couldn't remember it clearly, so he had to shake his head awkwardly.

"The old monk Juehui said that fortune-telling is a combination of arithmetic and numerology. I don't think you have any of them, even if I teach you, young master, you won't be able to learn. Hu Ye looked at Lao Qian disdainfully and said.

"Young master, you look down on me again, don't you, although Lao Qian is a little reckless, but he still knows a little bit about fortune-telling. Otherwise, I wouldn't have seen you, so the young master would have followed you. Besides, when I was in the barracks, I also went to the account room to settle the accounts, how many military horses, how many new soldiers, I know better than those account gentlemen, but the young master Fu praised me in front of me. ”

Lao Qian is unhappy, he is also a person from Zhang Fuying, how can he not understand arithmetic and fortune-telling, although Lao Qian still doesn't understand what these two things are.

Hu Ye rolled his eyes. Just the accounts in a hundred households, the number of military horses, so that Saren and Tsing Yi can handle it, you can't handle it in your big mind, so you don't have to mix it. This can also be praised by Zhang Fu, which makes Hu Ye worried about the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

But seeing Lao Qian's dissatisfied look, Hu Ye decided to educate him.

So Hu Ye took out thirty copper coins from the money bag around his waist and poured them on the table.

Lao Qian thought that the young master was going to call himself the art of divination, and immediately concentrated.

Saren and Tsing Yi also paid attention. After asking Xiao Er to put away the plates on the table, he urged the young master to hurry up.

Hu Ye smiled proudly and decided to teach these people a good lesson, the people around him. How can you not understand the knowledge of counting and arithmetic.

So Hu Ye pushed the thirty copper coins into Lao Qian's hand, and then said, "Old Qian, now suppose I am the owner of this inn. You are the uncle of Saren and Tsing Yi, and now you are going to stay in my inn. ”

"Young master, isn't the boss over there? Why don't you just come to him? Lao Qian asked puzzledly, does this thing have anything to do with fortune telling?

"You still can't learn, if you don't learn the young master, I won't accompany you, and you have to go up to practice calligraphy." Hu Ye roared angrily, his time is precious.

Saren and Tsing Yi looked at Lao Qian with angry eyes, making Lao Qian embarrassed and feeling shut up.

"Now, it's ten copper coins for one night, which means that the three of you want to stay in my inn for one night, and it will cost you exactly thirty copper coins." Hu Ye said and took back the thirty copper coins in front of Lao Qian.

Lao Qian couldn't help slandering, what is this, back and forth. I wanted to complain, but when I saw the eyes of the two girls Saren and Tsing Yi, I had to choose to shut up, these two girls are more difficult to serve than the young master, and they must not be provoked.

"However, in order to make you repeat customers, I have decided to return five copper coins to you. So I asked Xiaoqiang to return the five copper coins to you. Saying that, Hu Ye set aside five copper coins and put them in front of Xiaoqiang.

Xiaoqiang is a little drunk now, he drank half a bowl of wine just now, and he doesn't know what the eldest brother is doing with his copper coins, but he just holds down the two copper coins with his two front paws, because he knows that what the eldest brother gives must be good things.

Hu Ye proudly wiped Xiaoqiang's head, he really deserves to be his brother from the 21st century, if he doesn't say it, he knows what to do.

However, Xiaoqiang secretly embezzled two copper coins because he was going to buy wine and drink. So I will return only one of you a copper coin. Hu Ye said, and threw a copper coin in front of Sa Ren, Tsing Yi and Lao Qian.

At this time, there were already many people around Hu Ye's table, and they were all curious about what was going on, and even the innkeeper came over.

Hu Ye looked up at the people around him and smiled proudly, this problem can stump many people even in the twenty-first century, and these Ming Dynasty people probably can't figure it out if they want to break their heads.

So Hu Ye continued, "Each of you got a copper coin, which means that the rent paid by each of you is nine copper coins, right?" ”

Lao Qian nodded affirmatively, Saren and Tsing Yi also nodded, and the onlookers around also nodded, there is nothing wrong with this.

"That is to say, you have a total of twenty-seven copper coins, and then add the two copper coins that Xiaoqiang took to buy wine and drink, a total of twenty-nine copper coins. Now the question is, what you just gave me was thirty copper coins, but why are there only twenty-nine copper coins, and where is the other copper coin? Hu Ye pretended to be surprised and asked Lao Qian.

Lao Qian counted with his fingers for a long time, and the result was the same as what Hu Ye said, but he obviously gave the young master thirty copper coins, why did he only calculate twenty-nine in the end?

So Lao Qian was very puzzled, and folded his fingers again and counted.

In fact, not only Lao Qian, Saren and Tsing Yi also began to calculate, but the results they came up with were the same as Lao Qian's, and they were always one copper coin short.

Xiaoqiang is relaxed, and from time to time he lets go of his front paws and looks at the copper coins under his paws, quite a miser demeanor.

Lao Qian was very confused, and the onlookers were also confused, and the scholars couldn't help but discuss, and the innkeeper also discussed. He was very afraid that he had been fooled like this before, and he was cheated by his own buddy, and he looked at Xiao Er next to him from time to time, which made Xiao Er's back cold.

"Brother Tai, what's going on, why is there a copper coin missing, can't Brother Tai be able to use witchcraft." A scholar calculated for a long time and had no results, so he asked Hu Ye directly.

"Thou shalt not speak, thou shalt not speak." Hu Ye smiled mysteriously, how could this thing be explained.

"Young master, tell me about it." Old Qian really has no tricks, his head is broken, and he still can't think of it.

"Didn't you just say that your fortune-telling is very good, as long as you find this missing copper coin, the young master will ask you to tell your fortune, and you will be accurate in all calculations." Hu Ye laughed, this old money has to be treated like this.

"Young Master, let's talk about it!"

Lao Qian knows his young master's fortune-telling skills, which is simply earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods, even if it is compared to the old fairy he has seen, he is not necessarily weak. Therefore, being able to get the true inheritance of the young master's fortune-telling technique is definitely a good craft that will be used for a lifetime.

So Lao Qian decided to go all out to find that copper coin from now on, so he fell into contemplation again.

"Young master, do I have a word that doesn't count?" Hu Ye glanced at Lao Qian with disdain, he did what he said, and he would definitely not repay the debt.

Then Hu Ye looked at the scholars around him again, and decided to find something for them to do, so that they would not be idle all day long, so Hu Ye said loudly, "Not only the old money, everyone present, within today, if anyone can find the missing copper coin, I, Hu Ye, are willing to give him a hundred taels of silver." ”

As soon as Hu Ye's words came out, the surrounding scholars were boiling, this is simply the most expensive copper coin ever, you must find it, so all the scholars discussed it together, and they must find this copper coin.

The shopkeeper also wanted this copper coin, so he found two juniors to deduce Hu Ye's actions just now, and the whole inn was busy for a while.

Hu Ye looked at them proudly, and suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.

But at this time, Hu Ye heard a familiar voice, "I don't know if I have a share of this hundred taels of silver." (To be continued......)
