Chapter 247: The Little Liar of Qingyang City
Qingyang City is a small city located in the south of Liangzhou Prefecture, backed by Qingyang Mountain, one of the three mountains and five mountains of Liangzhou, so it is named. It is not a trade center, and there are no coveted resources, so life in Qingyang City is very leisurely and leisurely, and the pleasant climate of warm winters and cool summers makes Qingyang City more suitable for retirement.
For this reason, occasionally dignitaries in the state capital also choose to buy real estate here, and come here for a few days when they have nothing to do.
There are also some officials who choose Qingyang City to place the elderly in their own families, or down-and-out relatives who are inconvenient to take care of, here, for example, General Weining of Liangzhou Mansion, Xu Zhan.
There is a small mansion of the Xu family in the east of Qingyang City, which is a property purchased by Xu Zhan, and it is lived by Xu Zhan's grandfather and Xu Zhan's two distant cousins, and 12 years ago, in this house, there was one more person, named Xu Ning, who is said to be Xu Zhan's illegitimate son.
On this day, on the streets of Qingyang City, Xu Ning was standing in front of a fish stall, holding a string of crabs in his hand, and handed over a 20 taels of silver with a smile on his face.
"Little master, this is looking for your money, please take it. The vendor of the aquatic stall has excellent eyes, and it can be seen from Xu Ning's clothes that he must be the young master of a big family, and the other party spent 8 taels of silver to buy a few crabs, which is not the handiwork of ordinary people, so he did not despise Xu Ning because he was young.
Qingyang City is not near the sea or the river, so all the vendors who come here to sell aquatic products can often make a lot of money, of course, when they meet Xu Ning today, it is not certain.
Xu Ning smiled and took a silver ingot of 10 taels from the hawker's hand. and two taels, of broken silver, but did not leave, but came out of the pocket of the garment. He took out a handful of broken silver.
"I'm really sorry, can you please help me exchange it for a whole silver of 10 taels?" Xu Ning said.
"Absolutely. The peddler was slightly stunned, and then he didn't object, Xu Ning made him a lot of money today, and this kind of trivial matter naturally won't shirk.
Immediately, the vendor took out an ingot of 10 taels of silver from his bosom, handed it to Xu Ning, and took a handful of broken silver from Xu Ning's hand. But when the peddler counted the broken silver in his hand, he found something at the moment, and immediately stopped Xu Ning: "Little young master." That doesn't seem right. β
"What's wrong?" Xu Ning looked at the vendor with a look of surprise on his face, a little inexplicably.
The hawker spread out his palm and counted the pieces of broken silver in his hand to Xu Ning: "Oh, look." There are only 9 taels of silver. β
The peddler is not worried that the other party is a liar. After all, Xu Ning looks like an eleven or twelve-year-old child, and he still carries more than 20 taels of silver with him, which is enough for an ordinary family to eat and dress for a year, how can such a person be a liar?
So the peddler just thought that Xu Ning was counting wrong, Xu Ning saw the number of broken silver in the hawker's hand, and immediately smiled and said: "Oh, this is not difficult to do, I will tell sΓΉ what you should do." That way you won't get confused. β
Xu Ning pointed to the broken silver in the hawker's hand and said, "Now you have 9 taels of silver in your hand." Right?"
The peddler nodded.
Xu Ning continued: "That's easy, you take out the 20 taels of silver I bought the crab just now." β
The peddler took out the 20 taels of silver from his bosom, pinched it in his hand, and did not hand it over to Xu Ning.
"Look, you now have 9 taels of broken silver in your hand, so I'll give you another 1 tael of silver, and it's 10 taels, right?" Xu Ning asked with a smile.
"That's right. The peddler replied affirmatively.
"Then I'll give you 1 tael of silver first. After Xu Ning finished speaking, he took out 1 tael of silver from his pocket and put it in the vendor's hand, and then said: "So you have 10 taels of silver in your hand, oh, by the way, this is the 10 taels of silver ingots you gave me just now, and I will give it to you too." β
After speaking, Xu Ning handed over the 10 taels of silver ingots in his hand to the hawker.
"Okay, now it's solved in one qiΔ, you have 10 taels of broken silver in your hand, and a 10 taels of silver ingots, which add up to 20 taels of silver, you can return the 20 taels of silver ingots to me." After speaking, Xu Ning took 20 taels of silver ingots from the hawker's hand.
"Well, thank you for your help. Xu Ning put the silver ingot in his pocket, tossed the string of crabs, and turned to leave.
"Thank you for stopping by. The peddler scratched his head and watched Xu Ning leave his sight with a smile on his face.
At the same time, the aborigines of Qingyang City, who passed by the roadside, all looked at the vendor with pity and shook their heads, and sighed softly: "Hey, poor man, he must have been deceived by the Xu family boy again, and he still knows nothing happily." β
Others also chimed in: "This is what the kid of the Xu family said, he was sold and he still helped count the money? I really don't know how General Xu gave birth to such a son!"
All of a sudden, everyone felt the same way, but all the people in Qingyang City, who didn't know that Xu Ning of the Xu family was a well-known little liar, and there were countless people who had been deceived by him over the years, up to 70-year-old men, down to 5-year-old children, all of whom could not escape Xu Ning's "poisonous hands".
So much so that in the back, when everyone understands it, as long as they talk to Xu Ning, they will first hold their money bags tightly, so as not to be sold by Xu Ning and help count the money.
It is also thanks to Xu Ning's conscience, the amount of money he cheats every time is not large, at most it is only a few copper coins, maybe he also knows that the villagers in his big hometown, he can't look up and see him when he looks up, how can he not make the entire Qingyang City hate it?
Therefore, the people in Qingyang City who were deceived by Xu Ning will not be held accountable, although they have been deceived of some copper coins, it is harmless, besides, they are still a teenager, whose child is not naughty?
And everyone in Qingyang City knows that the Xu family kid has been extremely smart since he was a child, although he often says things that no one understands, but he is absolutely unable to run away from being talented, otherwise he can get it from everyone again and again?
In the eyes of adults, Xu Ning is a little genius, and in the hearts of children, Xu Ning is simply their idol, whether it is those novel stories or invented gadgets, they are deeply admired by them, not to mention that Xu Ning is still a good fighter.
At this time, Xu Ning didn't know that the vendor had received the sympathy of everyone, and he was overjoyed to shake the silver ingot in his hand, but as he walked, his mood became lost again.
"Now that the locals have cut off their financial routes, and only occasionally when outsiders come can they save a little money, so it's not a way to go on like this. β
"I earned 10 taels of silver today, but it's getting closer and closer to the opening of the temple next year, and if you want to buy that set of real questions, this little money is far from enough!"
Muttering to himself, Xu Ning walked to the door of his house, he subconsciously looked at the stone slab of the stairs at the door, and then sighed in disappointment: "And my cheap dad, where did he go to be happy?"
Xu Ning returned home, said hello to the maid in the house, handed over the crab in his hand, and went into his bedroom alone.
The people in Xu's mansion also know that this young master is like a little adult, he has his own ideas, his brain is smart, and he also has some small quirks, such as when a person is in the bedroom, no one is allowed to enter, even if the old lady comes, he has to knock on the door, after so many years, everyone is not surprised.
Xu Ning walked into the bedroom, first hid the silver on his body in a small dark compartment under the bedboard, and then made sure that the doors and windows were locked, so he carefully took out a disc-shaped thing from the futon and held it in his hand.
The next moment, a gray aura erupted from it, enveloping Xu Ning's whole person, and with a soft sound, Xu Ning disappeared from the room.
When Xu Ning reappeared, he was no longer in Qingyang City, to be precise, even he didn't know what this place was.
All around was a gray mist, and there was a faint fragrance flowing in the air, and as far as the eye could see, there was a boundless nothingness.
The disc was found by Xu Ning in a deserted watchtower outside the city by chance, and he only knew that it would allow him to enter a strange place and see a strange-looking young man, and he didn't know anything else.
Sure enough, at the same time that Xu Ning appeared in the gray mist, a young man with a strange face also came to his side.
It was not the first time Xu Ning had seen this person, but every time he had to sigh at the miracle of the creator, who could actually make a person look like this.
This young man looks no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, and his facial features are quite upright, but two protruding bones appear on his forehead for no reason, and his eyes and nose are pressed a little tight, plus thick eyebrows and thin lips, if the chin is sharper, the whole face of Lei Gong.
Xu Ning walked up to the other party, and couldn't help but say again: "I said Yuge, if you are willing to put your hair down and cover your forehead, you can actually see it!"
Yu Ge smiled faintly, knowing that Xu Ning had no malicious intent, he didn't say anything about it, and just asked softly: "The words I asked you to pass on to General Xu a few days ago have arrived?"
When Xu Ning heard this, his face suddenly tightened, and he said in a deep voice: "I still want to ask you about this, my cheap dad has disappeared since he heard what you told me, and I don't know where he went, if you dare to tease me, I will, I will ......"
After thinking about it for a long time, Xu Ning finally thought of a backer who seemed to be more reliable, and said with a red face: "I'll wait for Brother Liangshan to come back and let him clean you up!"
