Chapter 5 Xiao Yao
Early the next morning, before dawn, Li Luodi got up early.
There's no way, I really can't sleep, I may think that I will officially become a scholar certified by the imperial court today, and I can't sleep with excitement.
Li Luodi took a basin of cold water and washed up, although it was early winter and the morning was slightly cold, he was used to washing with cold water, so that people's mental state would be better.
After a simple tidying up, Li Luodi was ready to go out to eat soy milk fritters, warm up his body, and then go to the children's school to get the text.
As soon as I got out of the west courtyard, I saw a person sneaky, looking around at the door of the back kitchen.
"Hou San, what are you doing at the kitchen door early in the morning?"
When Li Luodi approached, he saw clearly that this person was Hou San, a guy in the lobby of the inn, and said curiously.
"Ahh
Hou San, who was obviously taken aback, suddenly exclaimed, and then looked slightly nervous, and after seeing that the person who came was Li Luodi, he stumbled and said, "No, no...... Nothing, it's just..."
Seeing that he couldn't answer for a long time, Li Luodi glanced at the kitchen, came to his senses and said with a smile, "I'm hungry early in the morning, let's go, please go eat bean juice fritters." “
Hearing this, Hou San came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I will have to clean the lobby in a while, so I won't go with Li Gongzi." Then he smiled and said, "Today, Li Gongzi is going to the children's school to get the text, and the little ones won't make trouble." Once again, I wish Li Gongzi High School a bright future. “
Seeing this, Li Luodi was not reluctant, although it was a little strange, he didn't say anything at the moment, and left in response.
"Li Gongzi, I came to steal food early in the morning, and I still want to ......" Seeing Brother Li Luo walking away, Hou San hurriedly said later.
"Don't worry! Even if the eldest brother and sister-in-law find out, they won't say anything. ”
After Li Luodi responded with a smile, he left by himself.
Hou San, who stayed in place, glanced back at the kitchen, his expression uncertain.
At that time, at the gate of the Tongxue Mansion, Li Luodi happily played with the text in his hand, "It's finally in hand, I heard the government officials say that at the latest, half a month at the latest, his appointment letter will come down, and then he will be a full-time official." ”
"Hurry up and go back and bring this thing back to show your eldest brother and sister-in-law."
Brother Li Luodi picked up the text and strode towards the inn.
When he arrived at East Street, Li Luodi took out the ten taels of silver that the Tongxue had just subsidized for the official scholars, and thought, "First go to the cloth village to give the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and Guo'er get a few fine silks." ”
After walking a few steps, I saw a hawker stall in front of me crowded with many people, shouting and laughing from others.
Seeing this, Li Luodi was a little curious, so he squeezed in, it turned out that this was a pair of stalls, and the goods in it were all kinds and dazzling.
"Walk by, don't miss it, ten cents can have three chances to answer the question, the fourth prize can get a beautiful carving, the third prize can get a wooden hairpin, the second prize can get a good silk, the first prize can get a bully cricket." The man of the vendor was like a river, and he kept selling to the onlookers.
There were a few scholars in the field, shaking their heads and meditating on a few pairs on the stall, sometimes happy, sometimes distressed.
There were many onlookers, and very few actually participated.
This kind of dealer who dares to make a pair must be extremely difficult to come up with, and the general level of literature is difficult to answer at all, otherwise the trader will not lose a lot.
Who wants to do a losing business?
Li Luodi watched with relish on the side, among them there was a little fat man in brocade clothes and jade belts, who was generous in his shots, and he was repeatedly defeated and fought in the field, and there were two or three scholars around him, and they all came up with advice, but they had been stuck in a question, which could be a bad thing for this little fat man, and scolded angrily, "There are no idlers in this young master's house, if you can't help me get the overlord cricket, where will it come from, where will it go." ”
Li Luodi didn't want to participate, but when he saw that there was a silk horse in the prize, he decided to give it a try.
"Boss, is it ten cents involved?"
After making up his mind, Li Luodi said to the vendor.
"Yes, this son!" The vendor hurriedly replied, and then smiled, "This boy wants to have a good time." “
"This is Shiwen!"
Li Luodi took out the copper coin and walked to the first pair given by the vendor.
Uplink; Beautiful flowers and bamboo
Seek the next link.
After thinking for a while, Li Luodi replied, "Arbors form forests of their own. “
"Boss, yes!"
Hearing this, the vendor was slightly surprised, and said with a smile, "This son is rich and talented. Next, let's look at the next question, which is a charade, which is divided into two questions. ”
"Childe, please look at the inscription puzzle; Breath after breath, guess a word. ”
This is also very simple, Li Luodi blurted out, "Shangqi, use the upper side, and the lower qi use the lower side, forming a word is the beggar of a beggar, I can say that I am right." ”
"This boy can do it!" Seeing Li Luodi's quick answer, he couldn't help but praise at the moment. “
"Hey, this boy is really amazing! Answer two questions in a row. “
"Pretty too!"
There was a big girl next to her blushing and talking in a low voice.
When Li Luodi answered two questions in a row, he successfully attracted the attention of the crowd, and they all turned their eyes away from the little fat man.
"Next, this anagram will be a little difficult, Childe, please prepare!" The vendor reveals the next inscription puzzle; There is no half tile above, and there is no place for a cone below. There is a gourd hanging from his waist, which is a little yin and yang. Typing. “
When the words fell, the onlookers talked one after another, "That sounds difficult!" “
"What does it mean that there is no half tile on it?"
"Can this boy answer?"
Hearing everyone say that it was difficult, the vendor smiled proudly and said, "How is Childe?" “
"There is no half of the tile on the top refers to nothing, and the place without a cone is said to be very small, and a gourd hanging on the waist refers to a round thing, and the image borrows a buckle, which can be understood as a little oblique, yin and yang refer to misfortune and fortune, and it can be deduced that it is a word, the divination of divination!" After Li Luodi finished speaking, he smiled at the vendor boss, "Is my answer right?" “
"It's... Childe is quick and admired. The vendor's mouth slowly opened wide, and then he smiled bitterly.
"Childe answered two questions correctly, and has won the fourth prize and the third prize, whether to continue."
"Go on!"
Li Luodi replied softly, just kidding, he came for the silk.
"Next question, pair, uplink; Two, three, four, five! ”
"Six, seven, eight, nine!"
"Childe answered correctly, and the next question is linked; One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. ”
"I'll answer that." I saw that the little fat man interrupted aggressively, "I said that the boss is not kind, Ben Hou...... The question is so difficult on the young master's side, but this kid's side is so simple. If I got it right, you can count me as winning, Young Master Ben won four games, plus this game is five games, and if you win, you have to give me the overlord cricket. ”
"This ......"
The vendor looked embarrassed.
"Young Master Ben is not embarrassed for you, this reward for you." The little fat man didn't want to talk nonsense, so he threw a ingot.
"I'm fine, it's mainly this son."
"Young Master Ben will give him another lump of silver!" The little fat man interrupted impatiently, and then wanted to touch the silver from the bag, but after touching it for a long time, he didn't touch it, and after realizing it, his face was slightly red, and he was embarrassed to say to Li Luodi, "Boy, I didn't bring enough silver today, and I will definitely compensate you in the future." ”
"It's okay!" Li Luodi shrugged indifferently.
Judging from the way he dresses, this little fat man is either rich or expensive, and he goes straight to the point, his nature is still relatively good, Li Luodi is willing to sell him a favor, and he doesn't believe that this little fat man can answer.
"The kid is quite to my liking, this young master remembers you." With that, the little fat man turned to the vendor and said, "It's no problem now!" “
"No problem, please!" The merchant who took the money smiled.
"The next link of this question is eighty-nine-hundred-eleven, twelve-thirteen-fourteen." The little fat man is confident.
Well, when the vendor heard this, he looked confused, not only him, but Li Luodi was also dumbfounded.
The surrounding crowd was silent for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter.
The little fat man, who didn't know why everyone was laughing, said strangely, "Didn't Ben Shao answer correctly?" ”
"It's... Young master, I'm seven figures! The vendor carefully organized his words.
"Ben Shao is talking about seven!"
"It's ......," the vendor didn't know how to explain it.
Seeing that everyone continued to laugh, some of them laughed so much that tears came out, and the little fat man came back to his senses, and he was embarrassed at the moment, and he was obviously more than seven figures right.
Seeing this, Li Luodi shook his head slightly, and then attached himself and whispered to the little fat man.
Hearing this, the little fat man's eyes lit up slightly, and he seemed to regain his confidence at the moment, and said loudly, "Young Master Ben was just joking, and the next thing is Ben Shao's next link, filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty." Boss, right? “
"This young master is really... Only eight buckets high. When the vendor heard this, he pulled his mouth and complimented.
The disdain on the lips of the onlookers is difficult to hide, isn't this the answer that the boy next to you whispered to you? It's so thick-skinned.
"Okay, let's not talk nonsense, Ben Shao's overlord cricket can give it!" The little fat man doesn't care what other people think.
"I can give, I can give," even if the little fat man can't guess it, the trader will give him this cricket for the sake of this ingot, which is just pushing the boat down the river. “
"Haha, this brother, Ben owes you a personal favor." After the little fat man got the cricket, he patted Li Luodi on the shoulder and smiled kindly.
This overlord cricket has finally arrived, and he will kill a few other crickets tonight.
"By the way, Ben Shao's surname is Xiao, and his single name is a remote character! What do you call a little brother? “
"Brother Li Luo!"
