Jiang Sheng can't solve problems either.
But the revolving lantern was so beautiful that she was extremely moved.
"Do you like this?" Zheng Ruqian was shocked. He didn't expect his sister to be so discerning and find the most difficult one.
Jiang Sheng looked at him expectantly, "Second brother, can you take it off?"
If there was a mouthful of chicken blood in his mouth, Zheng Ruqian could spray it all over the floor.
My sister... thinks too highly of him.
"Abacus is just okay." Zheng Ruqian muttered, "For pairs and articles, you can go find your elder brother."
Jiang Sheng looked expectantly at Xu Mo again.
Xu Mo suddenly felt a weight on his shoulders. He had quite a bit of literary talent and was praised by the teachers at the school, but after all, his age was limited and his reading was limited, so he really couldn't win 100%.
But Jiang Sheng's eyes were so bright that Xu Mo and Zheng Ruqian felt that they were nothing if they didn't work hard to win.
"Let's give it a try." The two of them looked at each other and began to think about it in their hearts.
Chang Yan squinted his eyes and carefully observed the pair in the second question. It didn't seem too difficult.
Just when Zheng Ruqian had thought it over and was about to stand up and answer the first question of abacus, the revolving shop owner came out with a smile.
"Everyone, our answer can only be answered by one person from beginning to end. We cannot collude."
Zheng Ruqian's expression paused.
No wonder this question is not too difficult, but no one has been able to win the revolving door.
In this world, people who have learned abacus are less likely to learn pairs and articles.
People who have learned articles will basically never touch abacus.
So it's not that there are no smart people on this street, it's just that there are no smart people who can do all decathlons.
"It seems there is no hope for this revolving door." Zheng Ruqian turned around.
Visible to the naked eye, Jiang Sheng's expression dropped.
Zheng Ruqian felt very distressed, but he could only do abacus and didn't know how to read words and articles, so there was really nothing he could do.
As for Xu Mo, he knew nothing about abacus.
Just as he was thinking hard about how to comfort his sister, Chang Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly stood up and said, "Second brother, please teach me abacus."
"Learn now?" Zheng Ruqian was surprised, "Not to mention without abacus practice, you can't learn it in just this short time."
I think back then, he secretly observed Shopkeeper Bai for five or six days and practiced secretly for half a month before he learned it.
Chang Yan didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.
Zheng Ruqian shut his mouth, inexplicably believing that Xiao Wu could do it. He took two steps forward and explained the abacus mental method in the simplest and fastest way.
Chang Yan closed his eyes and soon opened them. He put his hands behind his back and strode onto the stage.
Maybe it was because he was too small at only ten years old, or maybe because someone finally dared to take the stage, the whole street fell into silence.
"Young Master, are you ready to answer?" the store owner asked with a smile.
Chang Yan nodded.
The store owner took out the first question, "From one to one hundred, stack them one by one, and you are required to calculate them before the incense stick burns out."
Everyone looked at his hand and saw only a stick of incense as long as a thumb, which was already burning.
Oops, if this was the time it took to breathe, it would probably be burned out in just fifty strokes.
Not to mention calculating the stack from one to a hundred.
Jiang Sheng's heart couldn't help but twitch for the fifth brother, and the other brothers also frowned.
Zheng Ruqian even yelled crazily in his heart, "It's over, it's over, it's over." This question was too difficult. It would take him a long time to calculate with an abacus, let alone Chang Yan, who had just learned abacus.
Everyone in front of the revolving lantern, including the store owner who asked the question, was not optimistic about Chang Yan.
Even Chang Yan himself frowned and stayed in place for a long time.
Until the incense burns almost to its end.
The store owner smiled happily and was ready to wait for the next contestant.
Leng Buding Changyan spit out a number, "Five thousand and fifty."
The shopkeeper was stunned and immediately took out the scroll, "...this young man answered correctly."
The whole place was in an uproar.
A young master from a wealthy family had already sent people to collect the copper coins. One hundred copper coins of different quantities were distributed on the spot, and then they were mixed and counted together.
Sure enough, there were five hangings and fifty.
"How did you calculate it?" someone asked curiously.
"Yes, yes, I can calculate it too, but your speed is too fast." Some people were not convinced, "Did you know the answer in advance?"
The store owner quickly waved his hand, "Young master, you can't do this. We have never seen this young master before."
"But I'm also very curious about how you calculated the answer. Could you please publish it, sir?"
Chang Yan looked at him steadily and uttered two words, "Law."
Everything in the world has its own rules. Once you understand them clearly, any problem can be easily solved.
The smarter people present, such as Xu Mo, suddenly realized.
Even the stupid ones seem to understand but not understand.
Chang Yan smiled slightly and said, "The second question."
After passing the most difficult first question, the pairs and articles are almost not difficult.
Chang Yan did not show off any outstanding literary talent, he just answered in a polite manner, did not make any mistakes or make any mistakes, and successfully won the revolving door.
The most beautiful lantern in Xieyang County was hung in front of his eyes. Jiang Sheng couldn't hold it in any longer, rushed over and gave Chang Yan a solid hug.
"Thank you Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother is the best."
The little girl held the revolving lantern and jumped up and down happily.
Chang Yan was a little stunned at first, but after seeing her smile, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Zheng Ruqian, on the other hand, was so sad that he whispered quietly from the side, "Every time I give money to Jiang Sheng, I never see her hugging me happily for so long."
Xu Mo glanced at him and said, "I hugged you after all. My sister has never hugged me."
"You didn't hug me either." Fang Heng was angry.
Wen Zhiyun also raised his hand weakly, "He didn't hug me either."
Pang Pangshan's crotch was already warm and dry, and he wanted to follow suit, but after thinking about it, he held back.
After wandering on the street for a while, Jiang Sheng got hungry.
Zheng Ruqian proposed to go to Youranju for a meal, but was stopped by life and death.
Youranju is a high-end restaurant. A casual meal costs a few taels of silver. A serious meal requires not throwing all your belongings into it.
Who would spend dozens of taels of silver for a meal?
At that time, Jiang Sheng didn't know that there were too many people in this world who spent a lot of money just for one meal.
She only remembered those days of suffering, those days when she had no money but had to compete with dogs for food.
Because I have experienced hardship, I know how to cherish it better.
It was late at night, and the brothers had all fallen asleep.
Jiang Sheng got up from the bed and knelt down in front of the Buddha again, begging the Buddha to protect him so that the life in front of him could last forever, forever and ever.
the next day.
Zheng Ruqian got up early and went to the county to buy local products. Xieyang County is rich in preserves and pastries, and the prices vary.
He chose the moderately priced ones and packaged them in the simplest way.
Pang Pangshan was sitting in the back wearing a fine cloth robe, trying to act like a noble man, but he kept asking, "When will you teach me how to drive a donkey cart?"
"Wait a minute." Zheng Ruqian put away the local products, "You are now Magistrate Pang's nephew. Riding in a donkey cart is already very embarrassing. How can you still drive in a donkey cart?"
Pang Pangshan thought it made sense, so he took on an increasingly chic posture.
It was a bumpy ride all the way to Yunshui County.
Zheng Ruqian hitched the donkey cart and went to Yunshui County Yamen with Pang Pangshan in a swaggering manner, and entered easily.
This made the two government officials following them change their expressions.
Could it be that Pang Pangshan is really Magistrate Pang’s nephew?
