Chapter 10 Please feel my condolences

Tang Xiucai and Tang Yi lived in Tianfei Palace for two more days. Without any conflicts of interest, the relationship between the two parties was quickly restored. Tang Xiucai prepared all the places he needed to write and promised the truth. He only needed to give instructions in the future and then he happily went home.

Walking on the road, Tang Xiucai liked everything, but the smile on his face never stopped.

"Yi'er, why does it feel a little bit like a smug spring breeze!"

"It's autumn now, okay?" Tang Yi was speechless, but it was not easy to disturb his father's interest. Two hundred taels of silver were not a small amount, it was almost the harvest of ten farmers in a year. The two of them made a fortune and had money in their pockets. The people suddenly changed. When they passed by the restaurant, they ordered more than twenty dishes and asked the client to deliver them to their home. The table was too small and they were all placed on the bed.

Tang Xiucai couldn't help but frown and said, "Yi'er, I think it's time to change a table, and the chair should be changed. The bed is too small and uncomfortable, so I'll change it to a golden nanmu..."

"Okay, will you change a house?"

"That's right." Tang Xiucai said: "To be honest, this bamboo building is really not a place for people to stay."

Didn’t he live well before? Tang Yi also knew that his father was born into an official family and didn’t know what it means to be short of money before he was 20 years old. He has indeed suffered over the years, so just have to make trouble!

As the saying goes, when a poor man has money, it is like having a chorus. After the celebration banquet, at night, Xiucai Tang suddenly couldn't sleep. He felt like a little mouse was scratching and was in peace. He kept peeking into the cabinet, fearing that the money would disappear.

Over and over again, as long as I closed my eyes, it seemed like a thief jumped in and sneaked away the money. The pancakes tossed and turned, and in the middle of the night, they simply got up and placed under the pillow.

I feel relieved now, but the back of my head is painful when I am pillowing with a hard ingot. This is not a long-term solution.

So just sit up suddenly, put on your clothes and walk outside.

"Dad, can you save money?" Tang Yi said angrily with red eyes.

Tang Xiucai felt embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "I haven't fallen asleep yet, and you can't sleep either?"

"I fell asleep - I woke up by you again!" Tang Yi said helplessly: "Dad, grandpa is the county magistrate after all. You have eaten and seen it. It's not like two hundred taels of silver, right?"

"Why don't you know the preciousness after losing it!" Tang Xiucai said mysteriously: "Yi'er, this is the life of our father-in-law. Dad is going to dig a hole and bury it. You can use it to marry your wife in the future..."

Tang Yi rolled his eyelids and smiled, "Do you still have to write about two hundred taels of silver here?"

"Boy, you dare to laugh at your father and ask for a fight!" Tang Xiucai was so angry that he screamed, pretending to fight.

Tang Yi quickly beg for mercy and said, "Dad, always think about it. You can get money out of thin air with just one idea. What else is there to be scary about you?"

Tang Xiucai scratched his head. He was indeed afraid of being poor, but what the brat said made sense. He suddenly felt a little fussy and put the silver beside the bed awkwardly and sat beside Tang Yi.

"Yi'er, then what should you do next? Dad will listen to you!"

"You really listen to me?"

"Of course, who made you capable!"

Tang Yi also understood it. If he didn't comfort his father, he wouldn't want to sleep.

"Dad, in fact, I have thought about it for a long time. We still have to go back to Taicang Prefecture. Two hundred taels are enough to buy a small courtyard. Renting a house is not a solution. I want to go to a private school for a few years. Everything is inferior, but I only have high school studies. If I want to make a name for myself, I have to take the imperial examination."

Tang Xiucai nodded with conscientiousness: "Yi'er is very knowledgeable, and my father thinks so too. When I came to Liuhebao, I was greedy for less expenses. Now it seems that my father is short-sighted. Tomorrow, my father will go back to Taicang to find a suitable house. When I settle down, I will find a job to make money. You just study hard. Dad supports you. Our Tang family will point at you in the future!"

The more Tang Xiucai thought about it, the happier he became, and he couldn't sleep anymore. He went to the fourth update and fell asleep in a daze. He turned around and hadn't gotten up at noon. Not to mention going to Taicang, he had even left lunch.

Tang Yi was no longer interested and had to run to the Zhu family’s noodle restaurant to eat a bowl of noodles to satisfy his hunger.

As soon as he saw Tang Yi, the shopkeeper smiled and hurried over, saying gratefully: "Little husband, thanks to you, the devil has negotiated with the master in the temple. You can give us a way to make money! I am still thinking that if I make money, I want to give you one!"

After saying that, his heart was in his throat. She was obviously tempted. Tang Yi didn't understand. Now that he has money, he is even more unwilling to argue with the shopkeeper.

"Aunt Zhu is so polite. You still have to make money by yourself. I'm just a matchmaker!" Tang Yi smiled modestly and said, "Do you want to say thank you? Give me a bowl of noodles, I haven't eaten in the morning!"

"Okay!"

The shopkeeper agreed with a smile, as if flowers were blooming on his face. Not long after, a large bowl of noodles was delivered. In excitement, he put four poached eggs, which made Tang Yi feel embarrassed and he became a bucket of rice!

The rice bucket is just the rice bucket, in short, fill your stomach first. Tang Yi shook off the chopsticks, the hot noodles were hot, and the heart was burning. After a while, sweat appeared on his forehead.

He was eating, and a young man in his twenties sat on the table opposite him, wearing a short slap, a melon-skin hat, and a dog-skin plaster that had been unknown for a long time on his temple, and a short knife was placed on his hand.

It is strictly forbidden for civil weapons to be a timid style of barbarians. In the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people could carry weapons such as swords. However, armor and banners were not possible. Once discovered, they would have to be treated as rebellion.

Even so, no ordinary people will be with weapons with them. Most of these people are rascals, idle thugs, ordinary people hide far away.

The boy stared at Tang Yi for a long time, then suddenly stood up and slapped the table.

"Your surname is Tang, right?"

Tang Yi was drinking the fragrant and rich bone soup, and when he saw the other person's appearance, he frowned.

"Yes, what advice do you have?"

"Haha! It's really your boy!" This guy immediately got bloody and rolled up his sleeves, making Tang Yi feel furious.

"I'll ask you, did you change your signature a few days ago and fool Wang Sancai? Also, did you help Manager Zhu get a new business?"

"It should be!"

"Sure enough, you are the smartest person in Liu Hebao!"

Puff, Tang Yi almost spit out, and before he could tell, the other party said to himself, "There is a saying that goes, what do you hear, what you see, what you see..."

"It is the hearing of the ears is the false and the eyes are the truth."

"That's right, that's it, okay! You'll listen to this guy. I have something to ask you for help, but I'm going to test you first, are you really smart?"

Tang Yi is speechless. Is it nonsense to do if I am smart or not and it is your turn to test it.

"Friend, I want it..."

"Listen, it's this table." The boy said to himself regardless of Tang Yi, "It's this table, with a total of four corners. I cut down one corner with one knife, and how many corners are left?

That's it,

Seeing that Tang Yi did not answer, the boy immediately smiled proudly and said, "Don't worry, think about it slowly first. My grandfather took me the exam then. I thought about it for three days and then came up. My grandfather even said that I was smart and could get the top scorer!"

If you can get the top scorer, that top scorer is not worth much.

Tang Yi was not interested in this kind of child's trick. But this kid held the knife handle and clearly refused to let himself go without answering.

Tang Yi's eyes rolled, and he happened to see the shopkeeper making soup there, and his idea came.

"Hahaha, one of the four corners is cut off, and naturally only three are left. It's rare for anyone to hide!"

"Haha!" The boy was so happy that he jumped three feet high, dancing with his hands and feet, not to mention being too proud. He shook his head and said, "I'm stupid, so stupid. It seems that I'm Liu Hebao. Oh no, I'm the smartest man in Taicang Prefecture!"

Tang Yi blinked his eyes and said angrily: "Hey, four minus one equals three. Why do you say the wrong thing for children? If you don't tell a reason, I won't accept it!"

"I know you are not convinced!"

The boy picked up the Park Knife, slashed the table seriously, and then said, "See, did you see that, after this knife, one corner was cut off, but two more corners were added, so the correct answer is five, do you understand?"

"I don't understand!" Tang Yi shook his head like a rattle.

"It's obviously three, but I didn't see the other two."

"Why are you so stupid!" The boy was so anxious that he scratched his head, but he didn't know how to explain.

Tang Yi suddenly smiled and said, "How about this, you cut it, and as you said, I will believe it."

"It's okay to cut a knife. But I'm right. You have to admit that I'm the smartest person!" This kid was really persistent. While speaking, he pulled out the Park Knife and raised it high!

Click!

With a knife, the tabletop broke and the bowls and chopsticks on it scattered and fell all over the floor.

"Look, are there five?"

"Ah, really!" Tang Yi pretended to be surprised, but couldn't help but laugh: "Donor, please feel sorry for me..."

Before he could finish speaking, a thunderbolt made the boy tremble and saw the shopkeeper pounce on him like a tiger.
