Mr. Transcendence

Lin Yi hurriedly said: "Brother Anping, I want to go to Tianqiao to play, it must be lively there."

Fatty also had the same idea: "Yes, yes, let's go to the Tianqiao to play, there are many interesting things there, I want to see juggling, and I want to see monkeys."

Yuan Anping deliberately teased him: "You watch juggling and you don't have any money to pay them. Isn't it just a waste of time to watch their performances?"

Fat Dun argued: "Yes, but the others didn't give money either. It's okay not to give money."

Huo Xiaohan asked curiously: "Do you have to pay for juggling? I don't have money either."

Lin Yi felt that these two people were so stupid, so he explained triumphantly: "Giving money for watching juggling is called tipping, and you don't have to give tipping. Don't worry, no one will say anything about us. Brother Anping must be right to say so. I deliberately teased you to play."

Huo Xiaohan looked at Yuan Anping with questioning eyes, while Fat Dun directly rolled his eyes at Yuan Anping to express his dissatisfaction.

Yuan Anping twitched the corner of his mouth, he was just making a joke, doesn't he look like he was joking?Why does one take it so seriously, while the other... despises me?

Yuan Anping patted Fatty: "What's your expression?"

Fatty smiled and thought to himself: "I won't tell you what it means."

Edward Lam looked aside and covered his mouth and laughed.

Yuan Anping said that he was not as knowledgeable as the two children. He took Lin Yi's hand and said to Huo Xiaohan while walking: "Tianqiao is a very lively place. I went there once before. There are jugglers, opera storytellers, and all kinds of things. There are also a lot of stalls selling food, and many people like to go there to play. However, the weather is relatively cold today, so I don’t know if it will be as lively as before.”

Huo Xiaohan was quite looking forward to hearing what he said: "I haven't seen juggling, nor have I seen singing and storytelling. I have a chance to watch it today. Are they all very interesting?"

Yuan Anping looked at the two younger ones: "Ask them, they know a lot."

Seeing that there was an opportunity to perform, the two young ones immediately said what they knew.

Lin Yi said first: "I like to watch juggling. They are so powerful. They can breathe fire. Isn't it very powerful? Also, there is a very long bamboo pole that they can climb on. They can also be stacked one on top of the other, very high and high."

Huo Xiaohan also listened in disbelief, his eyes widened and he asked Lin Yi in disbelief: "Spit fire, how can a person breathe fire?"

Edward Lam nodded affirmatively: "It really can breathe fire, I saw it with my own eyes, I saw it twice!"

Fat Dun quickly said: "I saw it too, I saw it too, they really can spit fire! I just didn't see how they swallowed fire. Could it be that they eat fire? Then spit it out."

Huo Xiaohan felt something was wrong: "How do you eat fire? It hurts a lot!"

Edward Lam said: "So they are very powerful, we are ordinary people so we can't eat fire, they are powerful, they can."

Fat Dun also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, we are different from them."

Huo Xiaohan easily accepted this statement: "Yes, most people can't breathe fire."

Yuan Anping, who knew the truth about the fire-breathing, had no sense of superiority at all, and just resisted not destroying the feeling of surprise in their hearts.Just like magic, it's meaningless if you unravel it, it's better to keep the feeling of shock.He just reminded him by the way: "Juggling is a relatively dangerous thing. You children can't follow suit, you know?"

Be good, two little ones.

Huo Xiaohan couldn't help asking curiously: "Brother Anping, do you know why they are so powerful? Did they practice some kind of kung fu to be so powerful?"

When it comes to kung fu, the one who is most interested is Lin Yi. He also looked at Yuan Anping curiously and asked: "Brother Anping, did they practice some magical skills?"

Yuan Anping felt that it was better to explain to them: "The jugglers have indeed practiced kungfu, but it has nothing to do with the magical skills you think. They have their own housekeeping skills, but, what kind of heroes or martial arts? There is no connection with masters. Just watch it as a novelty, don’t follow suit, many juggling are more dangerous.”

"Oh." Edward Lam was a little disappointed.

"I don't know how to learn." Fat Dun continued the previous topic, and said to Huo Xiaohan: "I like monkeys, little monkeys, so smart, I think they may be the grandson monkeys that Brother Anping told us about. Brother Xiaohan, wait You will definitely like it when you see it.”

Lin Yi was in a bad mood and deliberately poured cold water on him: "There may not be any monkey tricks today."

Fat Dun was very distressed when he heard it: "Then what should I do?"

Huo Xiaohan smiled and said to him: "It's okay, I can't see it this time, you can watch it next time, isn't it that the sky bridge is very lively, and you can watch other things if there are no monkeys."

Yuan Anping felt that Pangdun's distress was nothing at all: "When you get to the place, you will have so much fun that you won't want to leave."

Huo Xiaohan didn't understand: "What's the fun?"

Yuan Anping realized that he had used an inappropriate idiom: "It's nothing, I mean when I get to the place, he will be happy and forget all his troubles." As he spoke, he saw a shop selling fried sugar cakes not far away, so he asked They: "Do you want to eat fried sugar cakes?"

Fat Dun first said: "I want to eat!"

Yi Lam looked at the fried sugar cake stand: "I want to eat it too."

Yuan Anping looked at Huo Xiaohan, Huo Xiaohan quickly shook his head: "I don't need it."

Yuan Anping led them to each other's booth, and asked the price, because sugar and oil were used, the fried sugar cakes were not cheap, one would cost eight cents, the size of a fist.However, it is usually bought by adults for children to eat. Looking at this deserted stall, you can tell that the business is not very good.He wanted to eat some hot food in cold weather, and he didn't care about the price, so he ordered four.They had to wait for a while because they wanted to explode now. Yuan Anping saw a bookstore not far ahead, so he said to Huo Xiaohan: "I'll go to the bookstore to have a look, and you lead them to wait here." Then he handed over the money to Huo Xiaohan. Huo Xiaohan, "I'm going to buy a book and I'll be back soon."

Fat Dun warned: "Brother Anping, you have to come back quickly."

Lin Yi then said: "Yes, we still have to go to the Tianqiao to play. Don't forget to go to play while staying in it. My grandfather said that scholars love reading books the most. How can they forget to sleep and eat. "

"Don't worry, I'll go and come back soon." He said to Huo Xiaohan, "Take care of them and don't let them run around."

Huo Xiaohan reached out and took the hands of the two children: "Okay, I will take care of them and not let them run around."

Lin Yi said to Yuan Anping with some dissatisfaction: "I am not a disobedient child."

Fat Pier followed suit and nodded: "I am also obedient."

"Just be obedient, and I'll buy you two candy figurines later." Seeing that they were honest, Yuan Anping went to the bookstore in peace.

Yuan Anping entered the bookstore, unlike other people looking through various classics, he went for miscellaneous books.Strange tales of ghosts and ghosts, various travel notes, unofficial history and myths, etc. are his favorites.As for those famous classics, he has no intention of reading them yet, not to mention, he may not be able to understand those obscure scriptures.

The bookstore is different from other places, the store is quiet and quiet, those who read books, those who choose books, even talk in a low voice.Yuan Anping felt that the atmosphere was really good, he picked out two books, and when he was about to pay and leave, he saw a few scholars coming together.Talking and laughing happily, each of them looked high-spirited.Yuan Anping didn't pay attention to their appearance, but saw that they were all holding folding fans in winter, and they looked very tall, so he was not interested in talking to them.

Yuan Anping came to the counter with two books and put them on top: "Excuse me, how much are these two books?"

When the people in the bookstore were about to count the money for him, among the few scholars who came in, the leader looked at the books Yuan Anping put on the counter, reached out and picked up one, and asked the people in the bookstore: "The History of Foreign Countries , I have been looking for this book for the past two days. Do you still have it here?"

The person from the bookstore replied very politely: "Young Master Zhang, what a coincidence, this is the last book. It will take more than ten days to restock."

"I don't want to wait so many days." Zhang Shiming said and looked at Yuan Anping, "My dear friend, can you give me this book?"

Yuan Anping didn't like this Zhang Shiming who casually picked up the book he had chosen. What's more, although this man spoke in a negotiating tone, he had an air of determination, and the arrogance in his bones couldn't be concealed. .But for this person's dislike, he naturally wouldn't show it on his face, so he said kindly with a smile on his face: "Sorry, I've been looking for this book for a long time, and it's really hard to give up." In fact, he is not interested in this book, but he will not be willing to give up to someone he doesn't like.

A scholar who came with Zhang Shiming said: "Do you know who this son is? He is the young master of the Zhang family. The master Zhang who everyone in our city knows is his uncle. So, you still have to say this." Think about it before you speak."

"Master Zhang? Isn't it that Zhang Linyi? I didn't expect that the other party has a nephew who is about the same size as him." Yuan Anping thought to himself, looking at Zhang Shiming with a hint of pride in his eyes, he cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Master's nephew? I'm really disrespectful and disrespectful. But..." He said with a smile, "The so-called gentleman does not take away people's love. I have wanted this book for a long time. I hope Mr. Zhang will be happy."

Zhang Shiming looked at Yuan Anping from the corner of his eyes, he didn't expect that the other party would be so ignorant.Zhang Shiming smiled, opened the folding fan, and asked: "In my eyes, everything has a value. Whether you are willing to give it up depends on whether the price is enough? Tell me, how much do you need to give up?"

Yuan Anping narrowed his eyes slightly, still smiling, and thought to himself: "After all, this book hasn't been paid for, so it's not mine. And this person obviously wants to spend money, shouldn't he?" Sigh, he really deserves to be Master Zhang’s nephew, he is rich and powerful.” In fact, according to Yuan Anping’s personality, he really doesn’t care much about earning money. For things like being thrown with money, in the past, he might still hope for money. Smash it harder.It's just that it suddenly occurred to me that I still have plans to test for fame, so today I can't have such a thing of bending my waist for money.Even if he wants to show generosity at this time and doesn't want the other party's money to give him the book, it's okay to say it before Zhang Shiming's identity is revealed.Yuan Anping thought to himself: "It seems that I offended this person today."

Seeing that Yuan Anping didn't speak, Zhang Shiming asked the people in the bookstore: "How much is this book?"

The people in the bookstore hurriedly replied: "One tael and 530 essays."

Zhang Shiming looked at Yuan Anping: "I'll give you ten taels of silver, are you willing to give up, brother?"

Pay a high price?Yuan Anping knew that this person wanted to humiliate him with money because of his ignorance of current affairs.He smiled, put ten taels of silver on the counter, and said to the people in the bookstore, "Please give me some change."

The people in the bookstore looked at Zhang Shiming, who had no smile on his face, and then at Yuan Anping, who was looking at him with a smile, hesitating and not knowing what to do.Although he could also say that he would not sell the book to Yuan Anping in order to please Zhang Shiming, but if he really dared to do this, if the boss knew about it, he would be withdrawn.After all, the owner of the bookstore doesn't need to look at Zhang's family's face to do things.Therefore, the people in the bookstore quickly found money for Yuan Anping.

After Yuan Anping collected the money, he smiled and said to Zhang Shiming, "I'm sorry, but I can't bear Mr. Zhang's wasting money. Why don't you wait another ten days or so, there should be more than one bookstore in this city."

The people in the bookstore also hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, you can go to Moran Pavilion to have a look. There should be this book there."

Zhang Shiming ignored the person from the bookstore, stared at Yuan Anping, and then smiled: "Dare to ask Xiongtai's name?"

"I'm just a countryman, my name is not worth mentioning. I'm sorry, there are still people waiting for me, let's go first." Yuan Anping walked out of the bookstore, thinking: "Tell you your name? Are you going to find the door? I'm not stupid."

Zhang Shiming looked at Yuan Anping's leaving figure with a bad expression.

A scholar said: "I don't know where the mountain peasants come from. This kind of person has little knowledge, and the most ignorant of flattery."

Another scholar said: "Brother Sun said that, in my opinion, this person's behavior must be a person with little knowledge. Brother Zhang doesn't need to be as knowledgeable as him. Wouldn't that be too flattering to him."

"What brother Zhao said is true." Others also agreed.

Zhang Shiming said with a cold face: "Let's go to Qunfang Pavilion."

Those scholars were very excited when they heard this, and they left the bookstore talking and laughing.After going out, Zhang Shiming ordered to follow his entourage: "Go and find out who that person is from."

The entourage got the order to leave and left.

Yuan Anping naturally did not expect that Zhang Shiming would let people follow him.He came to the candy stand where Huo Xiaohan and the others were waiting, and happened to see the candy coming out of the pan. He said in a good mood: "It's better to come early than to come." He helped pick it up and handed it to the two little ones.

Huo Xiaohan smiled and said, "You are lucky."

Yuan Anping divided the candy cakes, one for each person, and said to Huo Xiaohan: "Take it, it's not good for us to eat and let you watch."

Huo Xiaohan accepted it embarrassedly.

Lin Yi looked at the book in Yuan Anping's hand, and asked curiously: "Brother Anping, does the book you bought have many stories?"

Yuan Anping thought about the contents of the book, and said, "There are indeed many stories."

Lin Yi suddenly realized: "Oh, no wonder you can tell so many stories. I also asked grandpa to buy books and asked him to tell me stories." After thinking for a while, he shook his head, "I don't want to buy books anymore. If I let grandpa buy books, I will definitely Will buy more scripture books."

Fatty, who was silent at the side, took a bite of the sugar cake: "Ha - it's so hot!"

Huo Xiaohan hurriedly looked over: "How is it? Is it too hot?"

Fatty shook his head hurriedly: "No, I only took a small bite."

Lin Yi hurriedly shared his experience with him and said: "The sugar water in the sugar cake is very hot, so you can't eat too much. When it cools down, you can drink the sugar water in it. It's very sweet."

Fatty said reassuringly: "I know, I stutter a little."

When Huo Xiaohan heard what Lin Yi said, he also gained experience, and took a small bite, because he didn't taste the sweetness, but he thought it was very fragrant.

As for Yuan Anping, he used to have buns, fried dough sticks and occasional sugar cakes for breakfast, so he has a lot of experience.He ate it without fear of being hot, and became the first person to finish it.Then I sighed in my heart: "Sugar is expensive here, there is no sugar water at all." There is a little regret.
