Chapter 36 What to do
The two men responded, found a seat as a subordinate and sat down, then they told the whole story from beginning to end.
"The teahouse owner said that we had too many pairs of digits to match. If we wanted to reward them all, it would have cost more than ten thousand taels. He couldn't make the decision and had to ask their boss. After their boss gave a reply, he would come to the restaurant to look for us."
Yun Xi hummed and asked, "So now there is no reward for matching pairs?"
"Yes, girl."
Yun Xi smiled with satisfaction, "Well, I understand. You did a good job."
As he spoke, he took out a ten-liang silver ingot and handed it to Ading, "This is a reward for you, you two can divide it among yourselves."
Ading and Acai were overjoyed. They didn't expect that they could get rewards just by running errands for their employers, hanging out in the teahouse, drinking tea and eating cakes.
I don’t know if there will be more good things like this.
Originally, they were servants bought by their employers, so whatever they were told to do was their duty.
They were both very surprised by the extra reward and immediately stood up and bowed, "Thank you for the reward, young lady."
The two took the silver and left, leaving Yun Xi and his two siblings in the room.
Yun Qi and Yun Yan both looked at Yun Xi with doting smiles on their faces, thinking that their sister had easily earned thousands of taels of silver in just one day, which was really amazing!
As for the teahouse owner's words that he had to ask the boss for the remaining ten thousand taels, just take it as an excuse that he didn't intend to pay the money.
They didn't expect the teahouse to send over the ten thousand taels of silver, so having the one thousand taels was already good enough.
Yun Xi thought the same thing, and felt that the teahouse would give them a high-sounding explanation and would not really give them the remaining ten thousand taels of silver.
However, one thousand taels is enough.
She happily collected the banknotes and said to her two brothers, "I have more money now. I must save it well for marrying a sister-in-law in the future."
Yun Qi was thin-skinned and his face immediately turned red. He reached out to hit Yun Xi on the head, but she dodged by turning her head away.
She even smiled and dodged to the side to prevent her brother from attacking again.
Yun Yan was not as shy as Yun Qi. He said, "I'm not in a hurry. I'll focus on my eldest brother first. It's time for my eldest brother to find a sister-in-law for us."
Yun Qi didn't hit Yun Xi just now, so he hit Yun Yan instead, "Hey, you're talking nonsense just like my little sister."
Yun Yan was unable to dodge and was hit. He held his head and cried out, "Brother, you are so cruel. It hurts so much."
Yun Qi gave him a sidelong glance and said, "You deserve it."
Yun Xi covered her mouth and laughed secretly, pulling Yun Yan to run outside, "Come on, second brother, let's go to the kitchen to try the new dishes I made, they are delicious."
Yun Yan immediately forgot the pain and followed Yun Xi to the kitchen.
.
The next day.
Zhao Junyi arrived at the academy early in the morning and found that the students in the academy were unusually excited today, discussing something in groups of three or five.
He was here, but no one noticed because they were chatting so enthusiastically.
He coughed lightly a few times, but no one heard him or paid any attention to him.
I had no choice but to walk over to find a few classmates I knew well and ask, "What are you guys talking about? Why are you so excited?"
When the other students saw it was him, they excitedly pulled him over. One of them said, "Jun Yi, we were just talking about the couplets that Peng came to the teahouse with yesterday. It was really amazing."
Zhao Junyi thought they were talking about him, and as for the time being the day before yesterday instead of yesterday, he just thought it was a slip of the tongue.
He waved his hand nonchalantly, "Hey, what did I think you were talking about? So you're talking about this. It's not that amazing, I just thought about it for many days. You guys are too focused on your studies. If you were like me, thinking about this couple all day, you would have figured it out a long time ago."
Everyone:......
It seemed as if they were not talking about the same thing. His expressions were also different.
Zhao Junyi was complacent at first, but after he finished speaking, no one responded for a long time. Then, he saw that everyone looked at him with eyes that seemed to be a little strange. Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat and he instinctively felt that he had said something wrong.
"What are you doing?" he asked cautiously.
The classmate who had just spoken responded, "Jun Yi, we are talking about what happened in the teahouse yesterday, not the couplet you wrote the day before yesterday."
Zhao Junyi was confused and frowned as he asked, "What happened in the teahouse yesterday?"
In fact, the news about the teahouse was widely spread in the college yesterday afternoon. It was just that he had taken half a day off in the afternoon and went with Zhao Pingxiu to see the yard. After seeing the yard, he met with the owner under the guidance of the real estate agent to discuss the price. By the end of the meeting, it was already evening when school was dismissed.
He did not return to the academy, but went home happily with Zhao Pingxiu, without knowing anything about this matter.
Wang Yuyan and Zhang went back home after shopping and did not go out the whole afternoon, so they did not know what happened in the teahouse.
Therefore, no one in their family had heard about the hundred new couplets in the teahouse.
The classmate replied, "Someone in the teahouse matched the couplet you left behind yesterday."
Zhao Junyi blurted out, "Impossible."
After saying this, he realized that he was too excited and immediately calmed down, "I mean, who is so amazing that he could figure it out so quickly?"
The classmate replied: "I heard that it was from the Seven Stars Tower. There were two of them. Not only did they match the couplets you left, but they also went back and forth to match hundreds of couplets in total, and every sentence was perfect."
Zhao Junyi's pupils suddenly shrank in shock. He swayed and almost lost his balance. It was as if he had received a great shock.
how come?
How could anyone come up with such a difficult pair?
And they wrote hundreds of couplets back and forth? And they were all absolute.
How is this possible? When did it become so easy to make a pair?
Seven Star Tower?
If there is such a powerful person in the Seven Stars Tower, why didn't he show up before and had to wait until today?
"Are you telling the truth?"
"It's absolutely true. Now the teahouse owner is scared and has cancelled the reward of 100 taels of silver. It's really because those two people were too good yesterday and won tens of thousands of taels of silver in one go. The owner has already said that from now on, making couplets is just a leisurely thing and there will be no more silver rewards."
"Boom——"
Zhao Junyi's body swayed and he almost fell down.
It was the classmate next to him who helped him up and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Junyi calmed down and waved his hand, "I'm fine."
After saying that, he returned to his seat in a daze. He didn't look like he was fine, as if he had received a great shock.
However, the others thought they understood. Perhaps they were a little worried when they saw someone more capable than them.
At this time, Zhao Junyi was not only worried about gains and losses, but also very panicked.
I originally thought that it would be a sure thing to go to the teahouse to make money by writing couplets in a few days, but who knew that two Cheng Yaojins would suddenly appear in the middle of the process.
They only had ten taels of silver left for household expenses yesterday, and the rest was used to buy the yard. The house payment has not been paid off yet, and they still owe two hundred taels.
This money-making plan has failed, what should I do?
