Although these two pairs are somewhat difficult, they are not absolute. Why can no one be able to match them?
Li Qi looked at everyone pointing at the two pairs and whispering, but no one stood up to answer the second couplet, and he felt very confused.
In fact, Li Qi didn't know how a truly knowledgeable and talented person could come here and compete with two juniors. Such things that would damage his reputation are absolutely unacceptable to those great bachelors and great poets who think highly of themselves.
I won’t do it. In fact, most of the people standing here are young men who have no ideas but like to pretend to be serious.
Although he already had the second line in his mind, Li Qi did not want to be in the limelight. There was no noble reason, just because the temptation of this reward was too small for him. He was not at the point where he could not even eat, and besides, he was not
I believe that Jade Cuixuan can make some dishes that will attract him.
He now hopes that these two pairs can stay here for a few more days, just in case he needs it in case of emergencies. If he hasn't found a place to go after Zuixianju is sold, he can still hang out here for a few months.
.
After weighing it up, Li Qi had made up his mind and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a few people walking out of the restaurant. The leader was a middle-aged man who looked like a butler. He was in his forties, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
A rat-tailed beard, drooped eyebrows, and flashing eyes are not a good thing at first glance.
Behind the butler were several young and strong thugs, dressed in short clothes and all of them looking arrogant. One of the thugs was so arrogant, so one can imagine how awesome Cai Yuanwai was.
A disdainful smile appeared at the corner of Li Qi's mouth, another group of scoundrels working for the tiger.
When everyone saw the butler coming out, they all focused on him.
Facing everyone's attention, the butler seemed to be very pleased with it. He smiled proudly, and then in a leadership tone, he clasped his fists and said in a rooster-like voice: "Thanks to you all for coming to support me, Jade Pavilion is flourishing."
Hui, I, Cai Laosan, would like to thank everyone in advance."
After a pause, Cai Laosan continued: "The status and achievements of Jade Cuixuan today are all due to your love. In order to thank you for your love, my family decided to increase the reward from the original ten days to
On the 15th, whoever can match two pairs alone will not only be able to live and eat in our store for free for a month, but also receive a reward of one hundred taels of silver."
As he spoke, Cai Laosan clapped his palms a few more times, and saw a thug behind him walking out with a wooden tray. There were several ingots of white silver piled in the tray, which looked very dazzling under the sunlight.
.
One hundred taels, this silver reward is quite a lot!
There was an uproar in the crowd.
Damn! That's okay! Could it be that Cai Yuanwai and I have a tacit understanding and know that I am short of money now, so I specially sent money to me.
When Li Qi heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he stopped immediately. If there was money as a gift, of course he would not turn it away. He straightened his clothes and walked forward with his head held high, fearing that someone would beat him to it.
He was about to speak, but suddenly a weak voice sounded from beside him, "Master, please do us a favor and give us some food. We two have not eaten for three days."
Li Qi turned around and saw a little boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, skinny as a stick, with bare feet, holding a broken bowl in one hand, and supporting an aunt in her forties with the other hand, stooped and hunched over.
His lips were white, his face was pale, and he looked weak when he spoke.
When Cai Laosan saw the two beggars, his face suddenly changed and he cursed angrily: "You two blind, stinky beggars don't even look at where this place is. How dare you come here to beg? If you scare me away,
Can you afford to be our guests? Come here, drive these two beggars away."
"yes!"
How could those thugs miss this kind of task that was not strenuous and could please their superiors? They immediately rushed towards the beggar mother and son.
The aunt had never seen this posture before. She was so frightened that her legs weakened and she knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy: "Master, I don't dare anymore, please..."
boom!
Before the aunt could finish her words, she was kicked to the ground hard by the thug who rushed at the front. The aunt was already very weak and could not withstand such an impact. She immediately covered her stomach and felt pain.
He couldn't even scream.
"mother---!"
The little boy yelled, his eyes filled with fierceness, and he suddenly rushed towards the thug, hugged the thug's hand with both hands, opened his mouth and bit it down.
"ah---!"
The thug was not paying attention for a moment and was bitten. He screamed in pain and slapped the little boy on the face with his backhand.
After all, he was still a child, who could stand up to such a strong adult man. He was immediately slapped to the ground, with stars in his eyes and blood flowing out of the corners of his mouth. However, the little boy remained silent, his arms and legs
He stared intently at the thug.
"You little king, dare to bite your uncle, the uncle has to kill you today." The fighter dumped his right wrist, his face was embarrassed, his eyes were fierce.
"Don't hit my son, please, if you want to hit me, just hit me -" The aunt didn't know where she got the strength, she opened her arms and rushed forward, hugging the thug's right leg with both hands, struggling
begged.
"Go away, you crazy bitch." The thug raised his left foot and kicked the aunt.
"stop!"
At this moment, a loud shout suddenly sounded from the crowd.
Everyone turned around and saw a young man wearing a gray cloth gown.
This person is none other than Li Qi.
At this time, his lungs were about to explode with anger. He was clenching his teeth and clenching his fists tightly. His face was as black as coal, and his eyes were flashing with fire, as if he wanted to eat someone. The person who was most angry in his heart was not the housekeeper.
It's not the thugs, but these bullshit talents who stand aside and watch, but usually never deviate from the way of a saint.
When the aunt was beaten just now, these people not only did not come to stop her, but they all acted like they were watching a show. With such chilling people, how could the Northern Song Dynasty survive?
Li Qi now really wants to see what these people will look like when Jin Bing comes to Beijing.
Seeing Li Qi's shabby appearance, Cai Laosan's eyes flashed with disdain and asked, "Who are you?"
Li Qi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, walked forward, and said with a cold smile: "This steward, I am a poor scholar. I won't mention my nickname. I just want to ask, did what you just said count?
"
Cai Laosan was slightly startled and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Li Qi smiled slightly, pointed at the two banners, and said: "Didn't you just say that whoever can match those two pairs alone can have free room and board at Jade Pavilion for a month, and will also receive a reward of one hundred taels?"
Silver, do you just forget it?"
After Cai Laosan heard this, he burst out laughing and said: "Our Jade Pavilion is a gold brand. How can we not keep our word? As long as you can match any of these couplets, we will fulfill our promise." He didn't believe this.
The poor scholar can figure out the two pairs at the same time.
Li Qi shook his head and smiled: "I can't be right, but I know someone who can be right."
"Who?" Cai Laosan said in shock.
"he!"
Li Qi pointed at the little boy lying on the ground.
"He? Are you talking about this little beggar?" Cai Laosan pointed at the little boy and said in surprise.
Li Qi gave Cai Laosan a look of praise and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you got the answer right."
Cai Laosan was stunned, then suddenly burst into laughter, and everyone laughed too, as if Li Qi had told a big joke.
Laugh, laugh, until you cry later. Li Qi remained silent, standing aside and watching with cold eyes.
