Feng Baozheng turned around and said with a blushing face: "Wansheng heard a question from my mother. My mother said that you asked the question at the palace banquet. Wansheng thought hard for a long time but didn't get the answer, so I want to ask you what the answer is. Where did the one tael of silver go?"

Yue Li laughed and said, "You didn't ask your mother?"

Feng Baozheng said embarrassedly: "Mother let Wansheng think for himself."

Yueli smiled and said: "This question is actually not difficult. Don't think about where the money has gone. The shopkeeper has 25 taels of silver in his hand. If it is shared among the three customers, it should be divided into eight taels and one tael per person. Now each person has [-] taels of silver. If you get back a tael of silver, if you hand it back to the shopkeeper again and again, it should be more than nine taels of silver for each person, so the missing tael of silver has always been here."

After hearing this, Feng Baozheng suddenly realized that he quickly thanked Yueli, and then went to play with Li Wan relaxedly.

It was only later that Yueli found out that the officials at the palace banquet heard the question, and some of them got the answer and found out that they were cheated. Then they thought about the situation where they were entangled in this question and didn't think about eating and drinking, so they made up their minds to continue to watch others struggle. , Those who don’t know the answer keep thinking about the answer, so the answer to this question has never been circulated, and some people use this question to test their own juniors. Those who know the answer don’t tell the juniors. The reputation of not knowing the answer is called testing the juniors. It's all for the younger generation to think for themselves.

Feng Baozheng was tricked by his mother, and Feng Yin didn't think about the answer. Naturally, he didn't have the answer to tell Feng Baozheng, or Feng Baozheng knew that Li Wan was Yueli's apprentice, so he wanted to ask Li Wan for the answer. Unexpectedly, Yueli did not tell Li Wan about the palace banquet that day, and Li Wan didn't know the question, and even Li Wan thought hard and didn't know the answer, so he brought Feng Baozheng to visit today.

Yueli was afraid that Feng Baozheng and her younger sister would not return to the Shangshu Mansion for a long time, and her parents were worried, so they arranged meals earlier and called the servants who came with them to feed the baby.Yueli really didn't want to let go of this child, so she smiled and told Feng Baozheng to bring her sister to play when she had time.Then they let the two go back quickly, because they were worried, Yueli sent two more nurses to follow them.

After that, Feng Baozheng really often brought his younger sister to play in the Shangshu Mansion every time she went to rest. Coincidentally, Feng Baozheng also learned two tricks from Feng Wanchen, and Yueli coaxed the little doll to play when she was free.

Seeing that Yueli liked this little doll so much, Feng Wanchen didn't care about Feng Baozheng coming up to practice martial arts, so he also taught her a little bit.

Chapter 33

After Yueli and Feng Liushang had a barbecue, Feng Liushang would call Yueli over every time she got a new food, a new dance song, or something new. Yueli would go there whenever she was free. Just put it bluntly, treating Feng Liushang is a very casual attitude of equality and acquaintance, this attitude is more favorable to Feng Liushang, today Yueli is busy in the Ministry of Industry, Feng Liushang sent someone to invite, Yueli is busy Without raising his head, he pushed directly: "Go back and tell your master, the official is very busy today, and I won't be free for a few days. Let her come to me again in a few days."

The servant almost cried out in fright: "Lord Xie, please feel sorry for the poor maidservant. The Second Highness is really in a hurry to find you. If the maidservant fails to invite you, I will die when I go back."

Yue Li frowned and looked up at the next person: "What's so urgent?"

Seeing Yueli's relaxed attitude, the servant hurriedly said: "Your Highness, why would you tell the villain about the matter, sir, please go with the servant, I really beg you." Then he knelt down and kowtowed.

Yue Li said helplessly: "Okay, okay, get up, I'll go with you." The servant hurriedly stood up, excitedly leading the way for Yue Li.

When they arrived at the imperial concubine's mansion, Yue Li didn't salute Feng Liushang when he saw Feng Liushang. He sat down at the table and poured a cup of tea by himself: "His Royal Highness has something to say quickly. I have a lot of things to do in the Ministry of Industry. There are dozens of people waiting for me." Arrangements, I don't have time to accompany you."

Feng Liushang sat opposite Yueli and poured himself a cup of tea: "You are becoming more and more rude to this hall."

Yue Li snorted and said, "If Your Highness wants me to be more polite, I'll get up and salute Your Highness right away." Even though he said that, he didn't get up.

Feng Liuzhang waved his hands and said, "What are you up to lately? Why have you been invited so many times and you haven't come?"

Feng Liushang would not be ignorant of what he was doing, and Yueli did not hide it: "The Grand Lady has summoned dozens of craftsmen to join the Ministry of Works, and these people need to be arranged by ministers for travel and lodging, and there are people from all walks of life. In the future, work in the Ministry of Industry should not be done in one place. Now the expansion of the official residence and the construction of offices in the Ministry of Industry are related to site selection and material selection. It takes only a month or so to sort out the clues and reorganize it. Do you think I'm busy or not?"

Feng Liushang said: "Just leave these things to the subordinates, why do you need to do it yourself?"

Yueli said: "They have never done such a thing, so I will let them know how I feel at ease."

Feng Liushang sneered and said, "If they can't do well, they should be punished."

Yueli said: "What is the punishment? None of them have a greater background than the minister. It's too late for the minister to coax them."

Feng Liushang raised her eyebrows, and said with a more stern face: "Tomorrow the Japanese Palace will accompany you to the Ministry of Industry, if they have the courage, they will continue to trick their heads."

Yueli said: "Come on, I don't have to mess with you like this in the future, thank you if you don't trouble me now, tell me, what is the reason for calling me here today."

Feng Liushang said: "This hall just got a new gadget, I came to ask you to gamble, and come with this hall to the gazebo."

Yue Li had no choice but to follow Feng Liushang to the gazebo, and seeing the things on the stone table in the middle of the gazebo, he couldn't help but sneered, but it didn't show on his face, that was actually the game Yue Li played with those scholars back then "German Heart Disease".

Feng Liushang pointed to the things on the table and said: "This game is newly collected by the servants for this hall. It is simple and interesting. It is boring to play with other people. This hall will teach you how to play. You can play a few rounds with this hall. One round is 100 taels." When you win the lottery, you don't have to pay out the silver, and the silver is yours if you win." Then he explained the gameplay to Yueli.

Yue Li laughed and said: "It's such a simple game, I don't take advantage of Your Highness, and my salary is not as good as His Highness, if I lose a game, I will give you 100 taels of silver, and your Highness will give you 200 taels of silver if you lose a game." How about it."

Feng Liushang raised his eyebrows: "Okay, since you want to, then do it this way."

The two then sat opposite each other at the table, and the servants quickly came to divide the cards. It seemed that they all knew how to play the game. Feng Liushang probably had practiced it before, and only came to find Yueli today.

The two of them took the cards in their hands, and one of the servants lit the incense and said, "Feng Liushang started to play the cards slowly, probably because he wanted Yue Li to familiarize himself with the playing method, but Yue Li played the cards quickly from the beginning, and so on." Yueli hurriedly rang the bell twice, and Feng Liuzhang realized that Yueli didn't seem to be new to this game, so he tried his best.

Feng Liuzhang acted arrogantly but calmly, no matter which of the two grabbed the bell, the speed of playing cards was always stable, which made Yueli feel a little bit of pressure.However, when encountering an opponent, Yueli's playfulness was aroused, Feng Liushang's playing speed remained the same, Yueli gradually accelerated the speed of playing cards, rushed to press the copper bell, and when the fire was exhausted, Yueli won.

Feng Liushang raised his eyebrows and said, "Come again."

In this way, the two of you came and I played for ten rounds. Feng Liushang kept narrowing the gap between the cards in their hands, but she still couldn't beat Yueli. In the last round, Feng Liushang lost again, and she put the cards in her hand on the table. Shang Bu raised his eyebrows angrily and said, "Have you played this game before?"

Yue Li couldn't help but collapsed on the table and laughed, the servant standing next to him broke out in a cold sweat because he was afraid that Mr. Xie would offend the Second Highness.

Waiting for Yueli to laugh for a while, Feng Liushang said: "Have you laughed enough?"

Yue Lifang suppressed his smile and said, "Your Highness, you probably don't know how this game came about, do you?"

Feng Liushang raised his eyebrows.

Yueli couldn't help laughing and said: "This is what I used to trick the students when they competed with the students in Yongcheng."
