Chapter 62: The first problem

Song Qingshu looked at him in confusion: "Why?"

"Aren't there a lot of thugs who want to assassinate me now? Why don't we use Li Daitao... as a substitute? By then, they never expected that the target would have become Brother Song, who is a highly skilled martial artist. They will definitely fall into a big trap." Wei Xiaobao said. He was methodical, but he had another calculation in his mind: It would be inconvenient for him to move in this official uniform. Wouldn't his previous plan of quietly running to the warehouse and ordering some magic wine for that oiran be ruined?

"Master Wei is really ingenious, I admire him." Zhang Kangnian and Zhao Qixian beside him would not let go of any chance to flatter him.

"Master Wei's words are not unreasonable." Jiumozhi looked at Song Qingshu and nodded, "On our party, only Mr. Song and Wei Xiaobao are about the same age..."

"Isn't Duan Yu a human? It would be better to be killed by an assassin's sword." Song Qingshu cursed in his heart, as if he could guess what he was thinking, Duan Yu shrank back subconsciously.

However, reason told him that he was the best candidate. No matter what, Duan Yu was the prince of Dali. If something really happened, Kangxi would probably scold Wei Xiaobao to death. Fortunately, his martial arts are so-so now, even if he encounters an assassin, he should still be able to protect himself...

Song Qingshu put away his thoughts, nodded and replied, "Okay!"

If you want to ask where is the best place for luxury and money in the world today, ten out of ten men will answer you excitedly: Yangzhou!

If you want to ask where is the dirtiest place in the world today, ten out of ten women will answer you with contempt: Yangzhou!

There is nothing more joyful in life than wearing a hundred thousand guan in your waist and riding a crane down to Yangzhou.

When the lights came on, all the fireworks venues in Yangzhou became lively, and the most lively of them was Lichun Courtyard.

"Humph, it's not because of the recent arrival of a Youyou girl. After she is defeated by someone, I'll see if she is still so attractive." A madam watched helplessly as a group of handsome men in bright clothes and angry horses went straight to Lichun Courtyard. Walking over, he spat on the ground and said bitterly.

Naturally, this group of colorfully dressed and angry horses were Wei Xiaobao, Song Qingshu and his entourage. As soon as they stepped onto the threshold of Lichun Courtyard, Turtle Gong's eyes lit up when he saw them, and he quickly greeted them enthusiastically.

Wei Xiaobao threw an ingot of silver over, pointed to Song Qingshu and said, "Our Uncle Wei rewarded it, find us the best place."

Turtle Gong glanced at Song Qingshu and nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, gentlemen, please come with me." After saying that, he led everyone to an elegant and quiet place and sat down. He asked the servants to set out the melons, fruits, wine and dishes, and said with a flattering smile: "My lords, please have a glass of water and wine first. Miss Youyou will come out soon. Whether you can win her favor then depends on your abilities."

"You go down first," Wei Xiaobao waved his hand impatiently to drive away Mr. Gui. After a while, he quietly said to Song Qingshu: "Brother Song, let me go and make things easier."

"Oiran is coming out soon..." Song Qingshu said in astonishment, never expecting him to come at this time for convenience.

"It's okay. I'll take a look when I get back. You don't need to send people to follow me to avoid exposing your identity." After Wei Xiaobao said that, he held his stomach and ran quickly to the corridor.

Running out of everyone's sight, Wei Xiaobao straightened up and smiled slyly: "Go to the warehouse to get some Michun wine first."

Not long after Wei Xiaobao left, the hall was bustling with people:

"Miss Youyou is out."

"I don't know which man is so lucky to be her guest of honor."

"Miss Youyou is so alluring with every frown and smile."

...

Song Qingshu looked up and saw a few maids supporting a beauties dressed in royal attire coming from upstairs. They were really taking one step at a time. The charm that was inadvertently revealed in every gesture made Song Qingshu's heart tremble.

Seemingly noticing Song Qingshu's gaze, the beauty turned back to look at him, her features were picturesque, especially her beautiful eyes, which seemed to have crystals flowing on their surface, seductive and charming.

"I will never believe that this woman is a virgin." Song Qingshu lowered his head quickly, his heart beating wildly. If she is really a young girl who can display her charm as a woman so easily, then she is truly a natural charmer.

Before she knew it, the beauty had already walked into the lobby behind a gauze curtain, and slowly sat down. Seeing the opportunity, the Madam quickly started shouting: "Dear gentlemen, Miss Youyou has already sat down. It is still the old rule. Whoever can answer her three questions will be invited by Miss Youyou to have a chat with her."

"It's been so many days and no one has been able to answer the first question. Aren't you, Li Chun Yuan, sincerely trying to trick people?" A slightly fat wealthy businessman shouted out, and a group of people around him nodded secretly.

"Just because you can't answer it doesn't mean that others can't answer it either. If Miss Youyou's question can be answered so easily, wouldn't it be a joke?" The person who spoke was a young man who had recently arrived from nearby after hearing the news. Talented man, his words have also been recognized by a large number of people who came here for the first time.

"Hey, you guys are awesome, why don't you try it?" The fat businessman sneered with a look of disdain.

"I hope Miss Youyou will come up with a question." The person who spoke just now, Shi Shiran, saluted the beauty.

The girl Youyou inside bowed slightly and returned the gift, but didn't say anything. At this time, a maid beside her stood up and opened her mouth and said: "Everyone, listen up, our girl's first question is neither piano, chess, calligraphy or painting, nor... A subset of the examination of classics and history, only the number of spells is tested. The girl wants to use a knife to divide her beloved brocade handkerchief into several pieces. As we all know, one knife can divide the brocade handkerchief into two pieces, two knives can divide it into four pieces at most, and three knives can divide it into seven pieces... Excuse me , if one hundred knives pass, how many pieces can Miss Youyou's brocade handkerchief be divided into at most?"

As soon as this question came up, everyone in the audience began to think hard. Duolong's eyes lit up. He took out a square scarf and cut it with a knife. Unexpectedly, after seven or eight cuts, some parts of the square scarf It was so broken that it couldn't be cut any more, so he threw the knife away angrily: "Grandma is a bear, what a problem."

Duan Yu is a man who has read a lot of poems and books. If he were asked to test the meaning of his words, the meaning of Buddhist scriptures, etc., he would probably be able to give the answer very quickly. But it is a pity that he knows nothing about the magic of this test.

Unlike Duan Yu, Wang Yuyan is well-read, not just martial arts classics or Confucian classics. She also dabbles in a lot of arithmetic books, such as "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Zhou Bi Suan Jing" and so on. , Hearing this question, I was thinking a lot, and soon I got the answer, and I couldn't help showing a smile on my face.

Had Duan Yu been secretly watching Wang Yuyan, and when he saw her smiling, he was surprised and said: "Miss Wang has figured it out already?" With a face, I was suddenly very depressed.

After hearing Duan Yu's words, Duolong, Zhang Kangnian, Zhao Qixian and others immediately gathered around and said with a flattering smile: "Miss Wang, why don't you tell us the answer."

Wang Yuyan blushed, but still shook her head firmly. She was annoyed that she was arrested by them, how could she help them to harm other girls.

Song Qingshu, however, sat calmly on the main seat, drinking tea leisurely. When Shui Sheng saw his appearance, she rolled her eyes and asked curiously: "Have you figured out the answer too?"

"In the future, remember to call the master first, there is no rule." Song Qingshu glared at her, but did not answer her directly.

Shui Sheng felt suffocated, hating Song Qingshu in her heart. She turned around and saw the girl Youyou behind the gauze curtain, with a sly smile on her lips, and suddenly shouted: "My young master has already figured it out!"
