At Ye Chang's insistence, the story of Mr. Dongguo and the wolf still became the first article in the first volume of this "New World Theory". Fang really didn't brag, the articles she made can be described as elegant and vulgar, compared to Ye Chang's level, I don't know how high it is.

Ye Chang didn't know if his article mixed with private goods could play a corresponding role, but he thought that since the Fang clan could understand it, this was an allusion to the Tang Dynasty's appeasement of Zhuhu, and those smart literati should also be able to see it.

After the first article, it is the second and third articles. Ye Chang had stories in her chest, and she listened to Fang's with relish, and after the five stories were finished, she was shocked that not only her, but also Xiang'er, who was originally guarding the courtyard gate, and the slaves who were playing in the courtyard, also moved the small horses one by one, and sat beside Ye Chang and listened attentively.

It was the little lady who was held in Ye Chang's arms, and she also stared at the dark eyes, as if she could also understand the story.

"Looks like I'm pretty good at telling stories, look at you." Ye Chang must not have a sense of accomplishment.

Xiang'er raised her face: "Lang Jun, is the story finished?" ”

"Let's talk about these first, we still have something to do, but we can't finish it all in one day." Ye Changdao.

"One more thing, uncle, just one more thing!"

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, my uncle still has something." Ye Chang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiang'er said very seriously: "Since there is no story today, there is one thing that the slave should tell Lang Jun." ”

She had a serious face, her little face was tense, Ye Chang thought it was something important, and she also restrained her smile: "What's the matter, Xiang'er?" ”

"The little lady just peed." Xiang'er said.

Ye Chang was stunned at first, and then felt that his chest was wet, and he suddenly jumped up: "Ah, I'm all over my body!" ”

Fang couldn't help but laugh loudly, after Ye Shu's death, she had never laughed so happily. Although the pain caused by Ye Shu's death is still there, it is no longer as sad as it was at the beginning.

When she was stunned to find that she seemed to be getting out of the pain of bereavement sooner than expected, she couldn't help but glance at Ye Chang again.

Ye Chang, like an ordinary teenager, was at a loss in the face of his urine-soaked clothes.

"Eleven Lang, it's getting late, you should go back." The thought of promoting narrowness floated in his heart, and Fang couldn't help but laugh and drove Ye Chang away.

So Ye Chang could only walk for miles in his wetted clothes and return to his Wolong Valley.

In the next few days, Ye Chang was finally able to deal with the affairs of his family, although the three branches agreed to let him return to the sect and set up a note, but after all, he did not offer incense to his ancestors in front of the ancestral shrine, and the genealogy was not changed. Although Ye Chang himself is not in a hurry, Ye Dan is very anxious - relying on Ye Chang's face, he can drink at the same table with the magistrate and the county lieutenant, he was originally the least qualified in the nearby Lizheng, and those officials and servants had many people who made things difficult for him, but now they all treat him politely, so he also strengthened his belief in helping Ye Chang. And the three branches were also afraid of long nights and dreams, so according to Ye Dan's meaning, they picked an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the two sides officially separated.

Ye Chang felt that a big mountain on his head had been removed since then.

It took a month of hard work, and seeing that it was almost the end of the year, Fang Shi had finished writing the first volume of "The Theory of the New World", and he was finally ready to start making and printing.

At this time, Xiuwu also ushered in the first snow of the year.

"It's snowing, it's snowing!"

When Xiang'er noticed that the snow seeds were falling, she couldn't wait to cry out, it was snowing, which meant that the New Year was coming, and for a child like her, the New Year could mean delicious and fun.

"Xiang'er, so happy about the snow?"

"Yes, Lang Jun, it will be the New Year soon after the snow, although there is often delicious food now, but when I think of the New Year, the slave still feels happy!"

Ye Chang couldn't help but raise his head when he heard her mention the New Year.

The New Year is a time of reunion, and in another life, you should eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with your wife and daughter, visit relatives and friends, and be happy and lively.

His eyes suddenly became a little wet, but soon he fixed his mind that it was impossible for him to return to that life, so cherish the people around him in this life.

Thinking of this, he stroked the head of the ringer beside him.

Xiang'er immediately avoided it: "Lang Jun, the slave's hair has been combed for a long time, don't mess it up anymore!" ”

The little girl's coquettishness made Ye Chang's mood instantly better, and he pulled Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, it's the New Year...... Do you want to see your uncle? ”

"Fake uncle, what do you see?" Xiang'er wrinkled her nose.

Ye Chang was stunned for a moment.

The Zheng Langjun, who called himself Xingyang Zheng's family, was the morning glory who went to Wuzhi County, and he was a good friend of Ye Chang, who was friendly with Wang Qinian and Wang Xinzhi in Chang'an City, and was used to playing tricks on people. Ye Chang invited him to play the peripheral disciple of the Xingyang Zheng family, which was really vivid, but Ye Chang didn't tell her about it in advance for fear that Xiang'er would show his feet, but he never thought that Xiang'er would already know the truth.

"You got it?"

"Naturally, I know that if it is a real uncle, the slave will go with him." Xiang'er said this while glancing at Ye Chang.

Ye Chang was stunned when he heard it: "Ah...... If Xiang'er's relatives really come to me, you will follow......"

"The slave deceived Lang Jun!" Seeing him like this, Xiang'er laughed happily: "The slave's relatives are Lang Jun, except for Lang Jun's side, the slave slave will not go anywhere!" ”

Ye Chang only felt dizzy, the woman of the Tang Dynasty, could it be said that from six to sixty years old, they are all amazing IQs, even the Xiang'er around him, I don't know when he became so cunning, and he actually knew that Lu Dao was playing with himself!

However, the words of the little girl are really heartwarming to hear...... Warm too.

"Okay, let's take Xiang'er into the city today, let's brave the snow to buy New Year's goods!" Thinking of this, Ye Chang smiled.

"Into the city, into the city!" Xiang'er cheered.

Now Ye Chang's worth is different, he will naturally not rely on foot when entering the city, he is riding a horse, and Xiang'er is riding a green donkey, both of them are wearing robes, and in Chunming's envious gaze, they slowly enter the city: This is the day of the market, so you have to go in the snow, otherwise you will not be able to buy all the New Year's goods.

It is not only them who enter the city to catch the market, all ten miles and eight towns have marched to Xiuwu County, there are many pedestrians on the road, many people are carrying burdens, and they will sell the things they have accumulated in a year. There are also those who took this opportunity to go into the city to play tricks and sell tricks, and they saw the laughter like silver bells spread all the way.

But when they reached the city gate, they stopped: a group of people gathered in front of them, as if they were arguing.

Ye Chang didn't want to meddle in things, so he led Xiang'er to take a detour, but at this moment, he heard someone shouting: "It's Ye Langjun, you think I have an unfair share, so let Ye Langjun share it, how about it!" ”

"Which Ye Langjun?"

"Naturally, it is Ye Langjun who leads the water from Hongqiao and the Bodhisattva decides the case, who else is there besides him?"

This voice was a little familiar, Ye Chang heard it talking about himself, looked over there, and saw Zhong Wei, the county official. Although it was a snowy day, Zhong Wei was sweating profusely, and everyone crowded over: "Ye Langjun, you came just in time, bother Ye Langjun to help me make a decision." ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"It's the three sons fighting for property." Zhong Wei smiled bitterly: "As soon as the weather is cold, the old man will be difficult, and he will let go, but he will leave a problem." ”

At this time, the three people who were fighting for property were also brought over, the youngest was also in his thirties, and the eldest was over forty. Seeing that Ye Chang was young, the three of them were a little hesitant, and the elder said, "Let's ask Shaofu Langjun to judge, Zhong Servant ......"

"Shaofu Langjun has been busy these days, how can he bother to pay attention to you?" Zhong Wei said impatiently: "It's enough for a small dispute over property to be handled by a certain person, not to mention that a certain person also invited Ye Langjun." A few of you, haven't you ever heard of Ye Langjun's name? ”

"I've heard of it...... But ......"

"They saw that Ye Langjun was young, so they didn't believe it, but they didn't know that Ye Langjun lived for one year, and the three of them lived for ten years!"

"That's it, if you really don't know what to do, the bell officials don't have to pay attention to them, and the three brothers have to fight!"

There are people in the surrounding crowd who know Ye Chang, or they were originally bullied by Liu Fengyin and Ye Chang overthrew Liu Fengyin as his successful avenger. At this time, they shouted one by one, making Ye Chang embarrassed, and the three brothers who were fighting for property were even more embarrassed.

"It's not that I don't believe it, I'm just afraid that Ye Langjun is busy, we have been fighting about this matter for five days, and we haven't made a decision, it's really ...... Otherwise, how would we come to see the officials? ”

It turned out that the brothers had already fought at home, but they didn't fight, and now they quarreled again in front of the city gate, making the family ugly. When they told this, they began to accuse each other again, and then it developed into turning over old accounts, and the trivial things of a decade or two ago were also turned over by them.

"Officer, what the hell is going on?" Ye Chang, who was dizzy from the noise, pulled Zhong Wei aside and asked.

Zhong Wei gestured and explained things clearly, mixed with scolding of these three people.

It turned out that these three people were three brothers, and their father died some time ago, and in addition to the inheritance that had been distributed, they also left them nineteen sheep. Before the old man died, he didn't know whether he was afraid that they would break up or wanted to make trouble for them, so he left a will, the eldest son got half of the nineteen, the second son got a quarter, and the younger son got one-fifth.

"That old man really died and didn't stop, knowing that there was no harmony between the three sons, and there was such a problem, nineteen sheep, half is nine and a half, and a quarter is four and seven or five......"

Zhong Wei said casually, but Ye Chang was impressed, at this time, there are many illiterate people, that is, they are not illiterate, and they may not be good at arithmetic, addition and subtraction are commonly used in daily life, and multiplication and division can make many people nerve-wracking.

"Therefore, the three brothers quarreled endlessly, and some people said that they would simply slaughter all the nineteen sheep and divide them according to their weight, but they did not agree, and they made a fuss." Zhong Wei said in a low voice: "Ye Langjun, you have great talents, and you can't solve this matter." ”

Ye Chang smiled and said: "I see, at this time, Yi Er, Zhong Officer, you let them calm down first." ”

The bell officer roared, and the servants who came with him shouted and began to beat people with sticks, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent. Ye Chang took a step forward: "This matter is extremely easy to hear, where are the nineteen sheep?" ”

Nineteen sheep were at the city gate, and they were driven to baat, bleating innocently. Ye Chang called the three brothers together: "The three of you stand together, one place." ”

The three brothers were arguing endlessly, but they didn't make a move, and let them stand in one place, which was somewhat embarrassing. However, under the intimidation of the servants with water and fire sticks, they could only stand together.

"Now your three brothers are sheep." Ye Changdao.

"We are not sheep ......" protested the youngest of the three brothers.

"I said that a sheep is a sheep, and your three brothers are a sheep, the eldest is a sheep's head, the second is a sheep's body, and the third is a sheep's tail!" Ye Chang glared.

There was a sudden coaxing in the crowd: "If it is a ram, there is one person left for a sheep whip." ”

Ye Chang was furious and pointed at the man: "You, come here, be a sheep whip!" ”

The man immediately squeezed into the crowd, but where could everyone let him run away, you pushed me, and pushed the man to the side of the three brothers.

"Ye Langjun, Ye Langjun, I was wrong...... Please let me go......" The man begged repeatedly, and Ye Chang shouted angrily: "I haven't heard of a sheep whip that can also speak, and I will castrate your sheep whip!" ”

Everyone burst into laughter.

The man ate two water and fire sticks from the servants, although they were not heavy, but they only meant it, but at last he was honest and stopped talking. Ye Chang looked at the sheep and said with satisfaction: "Now there are twenty sheep, according to your father's last words, the eldest has half of them, that is, ten, do you say yes or no?" ”

Although he felt that something was wrong in his heart, half of the twenty sheep was indeed ten, which most people present would count, so there was a nod of nods all around.

"The second child gets a quarter, that is, five heads, yes or no?"

"Yes, yes, what Ye Langjun said is true."

"Then the third gets one-fifth, which is the four-headed...... With this addition, all nineteen sheep are divided, yes or no? ”

Everyone counted, it is true, after this division, all the nineteen sheep were divided!

"I see, I see!" Many people shouted, even Zhong Wei, and couldn't help but pat his thigh: "That dead old man is a ghost, but I don't know how much trouble I have left, if it weren't for Ye Langjun, these three brothers are afraid that they will go to the Shaofu master to eat the head!" ”

The three brothers were still a little confused, but Ye Chang said: "You three stupid men, but you don't understand your father's intentions. My father made this will, not to embarrass you or be unfair, but to fear that your three brothers will fight among themselves. Only if the three of you brothers are one, just like Fang Cai, the three of them are one sheep, then the mystery left by the old father can be solved, if the three brothers of you quarrel endlessly, do not give in to each other, then the sheep will never be fair! ”

The three of them looked at each other with a little embarrassment, and then thanked Ye Chang together, Ye Chang smiled: "Since Ye Mou solved the problem for the three of them, the three of them have to thank Ye, and Ye Mou doesn't want to be around, so he wants this sheep whip." ”

He pointed to the coaxing man, who was almost going to the ground, and the three brothers laughed loudly, and in a moment, the mustard was gone.

"Go to the city to buy New Year's goods, Zhong Clerk, goodbye." Ye Chang got on the horse again, picked up the horsewhip and whipped the man lightly: "Let's go, Brother Sheep Whip!" ”
