Twenty-four Old Urchins

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and when he saw that it was a poor boy, he quickly calmed down and ignored her.

is urging the aunt: "Hurry up, carry the chicken and duck with me, I don't have time to waste it with you!" ”

Xiao Qiulan looked at the look of the steward Wang, and decided that he was deliberately deceiving the aunt, this scumbag, a dog with human power, it doesn't count if he buys and sells, and he wants to give less than ten cents to buy some eggs!

Regardless of what kind of affairs he is in charge of, no matter who he is, Xiao Qiulan is not afraid of him, and raised her voice: "Uncle, you miscalculated, you gave ten cents less!" ”

The aunt looked at the money in her hand and was at a loss.

The steward of the town's yamen put on a look of disdain to deceive her, and the little brother insisted that he had counted wrong, who did he believe?

When the king saw that the eldest aunt was staying where he was, his face was entangled, and he did not dare to offend him, but he also refused to believe him.

Many people who watched the excitement came around, and seeing that he couldn't leave, he glared at Xiao Qiulan gloomily: "Tell me, why did I miscalculate?" ”

"Little brother, do you know who he is?"

"He is the king steward of the town yamen, and the abacus is crackling, how can dozens of eggs be counted wrong?"

"Yes, look at you, a poor boy, you must have never read, these dozens of eggs, can you calculate the price at once?"

People gossiped, selling next to them, and onlookers around, more or less befriending the king's steward, and they all looked down on her as a poor boy.

However, when they said this, the people did not disperse, and blocked the street that was not wide.

This Wang Guan was forced to buy the aunt's chickens and ducks in advance, and then he had the intention to cheat the ten cents, and she wanted to think that she hadn't heard it after reminding her, what kind of person is this?

What a shameless man, Xiao Qiulan said calmly: "Oh, it turns out that the uncle's abacus is crackling, and the calculation is never wrong?" So are you deliberately deceiving people or unintentional mistakes? Let's do the math, eggs are two and duck eggs are three, nine eggs are nineteen duck eggs, is it sixty-five or seventy-five? ”

When Xiao Qiulan said this, Steward Wang kept looking at her with a pair of triangular eyes, at a young age, calm and calm, if it weren't for a shabby dress, he would definitely be impressed by her.

As soon as Xiao Qiulan's words fell, Steward Wang pretended to check the eggs in the basket, and without waiting for the onlookers to calculate the price, he suddenly realized: "Hahaha, this time I was really wrong, I was in a hurry, and I counted the eggs as the price of duck eggs, and the duck eggs as the price of eggs!" ”

Turning his head and saying kindly to Xiao Qiulan: "Little brother, uncle doesn't mean to deceive people, you can calculate it for everyone, nine duck eggs and nineteen eggs, how much money does it cost?" ”

Xiao Qiulan counted it out in two seconds: "Sixty-five dollars." ”

I was secretly scolding in my heart, this middle-aged man is so cunning, he uses this method to deceive his aunt, and if he is exposed, he also has his own way out.

Sure enough, the onlookers suddenly realized that this was the case, and that the king was not miscalculated, but confused the eggs, ducks and eggs.

At this time, a carriage came slowly, and the street, which was already crowded, was completely blocked when it arrived, and the carriage had to stop.

An old man squeezed in front of him from the crowd, not tall, neither fat nor thin, dressed in the clothes of ordinary civilians, with bright eyes and a grinning face, looking like an old naughty boy.

He gave Xiao Qiulan a thumbs up, and his voice was loud: "Little brother is really amazing, dozens of eggs, two prices, it's calculated in the blink of an eye, tell everyone about it, why are you so fast?" ”

Xiao Qiulan didn't expect someone to ask her like this, the more people surrounded, it seemed that if she didn't make it clear, they would never disperse.
