"Oh, according to Ben Gongzi, these rounds set up by this Yan Daren are to play us as monkeys, Tule He, take a broken stone to sell, obviously not to let others laugh at us! It can be said that a gentleman must not be arrogant, but he must not be arrogant! Such a shame-damaging thing, this son is not rare! ”

"That's it, what Su Gongzi said is very true, I won't go!"

"In ancient times, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rose up, and now we have blood to fight against the stubborn old for the alliance! This son doesn't believe it, what can he do with our big guy! ”

As soon as Yan Wen and Liu Run left on the front foot, the group of arrogant young masters on the back foot put on a posture of alliance against the enemy, thinking that they really had a few backbones, but they didn't expect that they would honestly go down the mountain with their bags on their backs on the second day.

Well...... It's so fragrant, and my face hurts a little.

A group of people left the pavilion one after another, but the silence was a little uncomfortable, and there were only more than ten people left in the entire pavilion.

This feast of flowers is to set up a banquet in the Limo Hall on the evening of the 14th day, where the wine is happy, the planning is staggered, the moon is drunk, and the phoenix flute is moving.

Celebrate the feast all night, accompanied by the light of the jade pot, and enjoy the flowers.

Yan Wen, the old man, really did what he said, and threw all the dirty work of the Hundred Flowers Banquet to Jiang Ci.

Now he understands that he has really exercised his physical strength this time, he can't carry his shoulders and hands, and he is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, but after these few days of training, he is no different from the woodcutter in the mountains.

The water to be drunk at the banquet should be the clear water gushing out of the clear pool spring; Everything you eat should be decorated with a hundred flowers; and the places which shall be set shall be separated by three feet.

If these jobs were done by Jiang Ci and Wei Wei and the three of them, it would not be tiring, but the problem was that the three of them were sent by Liu Run to clean the uncleaned backyard house.

So, the work of carrying water, looking for flowers, and setting the table all fell on his head, and in the past four days, he could not eat enough, and he did not sleep enough, like an old ox plowing the field, working hard and carrying a hundred jobs.

The days of hard work and fatigue always have to pass slower than when they are leisurely and enjoyable, Jiang Ci is looking forward to the stars and the moon finally until the fourteenth day, but when he sees those sons who are rushing back one after another, he can't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart.

More than 40 people, all of them are gray-headed and dirty, as if they have traveled thousands of miles and crossed thousands of rivers, and their robes are soaked in earthly ashes.

Among them, Su Nianbai, the son surnamed Su who called on everyone to "boycott" the day before departure, ended up in the worst situation.

He limped back with two small attendants, each with a pestle and a thick stick. The appearance of unkempt hair and ragged clothes almost made the janitor mistake him for a beggar from somewhere.

On the day Su Nianbai went down the mountain, he happened to live in a black shop, and the only one or two silvers were robbed, along with some changes of clothes and prepared food, and the proprietress of the black shop almost pulled off the clothes on their bodies.

Early the next morning, he sent someone to put a few of them into sacks and throw them to the north of Qingyan, not to mention selling stones, it was not easy for them to walk back alive.

In fact, everything that happened to him, Liu Run's squatter bird was monitored, and when he saw that he was in danger, he immediately flew back to tell Liu Run, but Yan Wen, the little old man, not only sent someone to protect him, but also let him do what he did.

Fortunately, Su Nianbai didn't know about this matter, otherwise he would definitely have to greet Yan Wen's ancestor once in his heart.

Tang Yu didn't get much better, he barely used the silver to keep the food and drink for the past few days, and the matter of selling stones also hit a wall everywhere, especially when he was scolded by a thin black man in front of a group of people that he was a madman, no matter how he explained his identity, everyone no longer believed his words.

Even Ye Xiujin, a local of Qingyan who everyone thinks is the most advantageous, has also touched a nose, he originally wanted to go home to have a place to live and eat, but he didn't know that Yan Wen had already given the news, and the door of Ye's Mansion was locked tightly, no matter how he shouted, he didn't care.

The most aggrieved thing is not this thing, but in the matter of "selling stones".

Ye Xiujin, this kid is indeed clever, and he came up with a method that no one else could think of, and skillfully used the allusion of "three people become tigers" recorded in the book "Warring States Policy".

He first exchanged one tael of silver for a thousand copper coins, and took out most of the copper coins to trade with the oil-headed boys in the streets and alleys, so that they could boast that the broken stones in the mountains and fields had other wonderful uses for themselves.

Although this method is a little lacking in morality, there is no other way for people to take the initiative to be this "wronged leader". As long as someone can buy it, after the trial is completed, he will return it at five times the price, and personally apologize.

So, at the street corner of those days, you can hear these rumors.

"Ye Xiujin, the son of the Ye family, has a strange treasure stone, it is said that it is the colored stone that Nuwa Niangniang missed back then!"

"Cut, that's not all! I was fortunate to see Ye Gongzi's gem once, although it looks like an ordinary stone, but it has the effect of attracting wealth and luck! Ever since I saw that gem, the business of the tofu stall at home has been very good these days, and there are long queues every day! ”

“……”

In short, dozens of tricks were told by those street boys, and the real appearance sometimes made Ye Xiujin wonder if he really got a gem.

Unexpectedly, there was really a big fish on the hook!

As soon as he heard that Ye Xiujin had a gem in his hand and could attract fortune, he immediately found him and expressed his willingness to buy the stone at any high price.

In the end, after some discussion, the price was ten taels, and this person thought that he would not be able to buy back this gem without a few hundred or thousands of taels of silver, but he did not expect that it would only cost ten taels, not to mention how happy his face was, so he immediately handed over ten taels of silver to him, and went back with the gem.

However, when Ye Xiujin was walking back with the bag of silver, passing by a street and alley, he was suddenly robbed of all the silver by a small thief, and the thief ran very fast, no matter how much he and his entourage chased him, they couldn't catch up with his shadow.

He originally wanted to report to the official, but unfortunately, it was the last day, so he had to fetch water in the bamboo basket and rejoice in the air.

All the sons sat in the front hall, talking to each other about the hardships they had endured in the past four days, and it happened that Jiang Ci was also present at that time to decorate the red silk ribbons, and the words they said were roughly heard in their ears.

Although these sons are not as miserable as Su Nianbai, Tang Yu, and Ye Xiujin, they have also suffered a lot.

And in this trial, only a few people sold the stone for one tael, and the rest of the sons returned empty-handed, and Ye Xiujin, the only one who got ten taels of silver, was finally stolen by the thief.

Just as everyone was complaining, Sun Qiong's appearance attracted their eyes.

Because his whole body was clean and white, without a single speck of dust and mud, and his face was full of red light, even the two attendants behind him.

Seeing him like this, he couldn't help but arouse curiosity, and a son asked: "Sun Gongzi, what can I gain from selling stones on this trip?" ”

And Sun Qiong just smiled and didn't say anything, walked up to everyone with his steps, and sneered.

But Xun Wei, who followed behind him, spoke, and really responded to this name, Xun Wei, the fox fake Huwei: "My son-in-law sold the stone for ten taels of silver!" ”

"I'll talk to your son-in-law, where is your turn to intervene!" Xunwei's domineering face angered the questioning son, and his voice was fierce and cold towards him.

But instead of disciplining Xunwei, Sun Qiong drew a sharp taunt on his lips: "Cheng Gongzi, our descendants of Sun Mansion, it is not your turn to discipline Cheng Mansion!" Then he glanced at the embarrassed crowd: "I see, you better go back and change your clothes and freshen up first, why do you insist on waiting for Lord Yan to read out the results here, how many catties and taels do you have, don't you know?" ”

"You!"

After that, he took his entourage and went in the direction of the backyard, but he was so angry that the son surnamed Cheng stared at him, clenched his fists and wanted to catch up, and several sons next to him hurriedly grabbed his arm, so he had to say in a mournful voice: "That's it, Cheng Gongzi, why do you want to be angry with people like him, and then again, we did completely lose to him, and the top spot on this list must be his." ”

As soon as the rest of the people heard this, the fire of resentment that had just been ignited was gradually replaced by remorse and shame, and they felt sorry for themselves again and again.

But Jiang Ci on the side felt that this matter was not as simple as it seemed, and there must be something strange in it.
