040: So poor that you even sell lanterns?
Talent can really beautify a person's appearance.
He Wan did not refute grandpa's words, and Cheng Qing seemed to be really going to win.
Who dares to say that Cheng Qing has no talent in his heart if he can solve 30 questions in one breath?
A wrong person is a talent, and a wise person is also a wise person. If you can't do it yourself, why bother others!
Yu San stared at her eyes, with red bloodshot eyes, all of whom were angry with Cheng Qing.
At the beginning, Cheng Qing showed that he could only do math problems, which confused them all. He thought that Cheng Qing was a weakness in other aspects. Yu San mobilized his classmates to rush to math problems, preventing Cheng Qing from winning.
But Cheng Qing would still be able to match his pairs, but Yu San shot himself in the foot and was stumped by the math problems he stolen. There are only 14 mooncakes on the table, which is exactly half of Cheng Qing's...
Cheng Gui was also disturbed by Cheng Qing's thoughts.
Do you really have to watch Cheng Qing win?
Yu San rolled his eyes and thought about countermeasures. Cheng Qing didn't care about him. He could win with two questions left. Of course, she had to do it in one go.
The manager also wanted to flatter Yu San, but he couldn't hand the answer to Yu San in front of everyone. Cheng Qing is a child of the Cheng family, so the manager dared not be biased in public. He had more than half of the lanterns on the wall answered, and according to the rules, he had to add new questions.
New questions are even more difficult.
But there are mathematics questions.
Cheng Qing didn't make things difficult for him to continue to match the pairs. He solved two arithmetic questions in a row, and formed 30!
"Congratulations to Mr. Cheng Qing, you won a hundred taels of silver and you also won the opportunity to meet Shen Xuedao."
The manager bowed his hands to congratulate him with a smile on his face.
The sweat on Cheng Gui's forehead dripped onto the rice paper.
He solved 25 questions, but what's the use?
The most glorious ones have always been the number one.
There was praise in the crowd, and it was said that Cheng Qing was worthy of being a child of the Cheng family.
Cheng Gui is also a child of the Cheng family, but he is ignored.
Yu San clenched his fists, and Fatty Cui opened his mouth slightly.
After discovering the shortcut, the latter also specialized in math questions. Half of the questions were snatched away by Yu San and others, and half of them were solved by Fatty Cui, who also had nine moon cakes in front of Fat Choi.
He didn't dare to think that he could not only enter for free, but also earn ten taels of silver in vain after working hard. Yes, Cheng Qing would not continue to solve the problem after solving thirty questions. Without Cheng Qing, he might be the best math among all the people present. It would be a sure thing to earn ten taels of silver in vain. If he had the patience to solve the problem at the door of the other courtyard, he would have a chance to solve the twenty questions slowly.
He is confident to solve 20 questions in a row, but 30 questions will not work.
Fatty Cui was surprised that Cheng Qing was obviously only 97 in the academy monthly exam a few days ago, which was almost five places higher than his 102. Why did Cheng Qing be so powerful when he arrived at the Wenhui Society?
This is too unreasonable. If the gap between friends is big, he will be under pressure.
Fatty Cui was depressed, but Cheng Qing was happy.
The manager ordered someone to give him a prize silver, and put one hundred taels of silver on the pallet with red cloth, and then asked the light to shine, the luster was very gratifying.
"If Mr. Cheng Qing is inconvenient to carry, it's okay to change it to a silver note."
Cheng Qing nodded, "This is the best."
The manager asked Cheng Qing to come in with a smile, and Cheng Qing remembered the lantern again.
"According to the regulations, can I pick ten lanterns?"
"We will keep the lanterns first, and we can order people to collect them after the young master attends the literary meeting-"
Cheng Qing waved his hand, "No need, I can hand it over to my entourage now."
Cheng Qing ordered Siyan to keep silver and Simon to keep lanterns. Ten lanterns are not easy to get, Cheng Qing doesn't need that many, and chose the five he thought were the best, and the rest... Cheng Qing looked around and expressed his willingness to sell them on the spot.
"What?!"
"Selling Wenshang Lanterns..."
"It's really unheard of!"
The smile on the manager's face became stiff.
Winning the Wenhui Lantern is an honor. Being able to win ten consecutive lanterns is enough to be proud, but Cheng Qing wants to sell the lanterns?
Yu San had no intention of doing the test at all, and he would retort when he threw the pen:
"Cheng Qing, you are so poor that you are so poor that you have a prize of 100 taels of silver. You are so greedy that you have to sell the lanterns you won. People like you, who are full of money, will even appear in front of Grandmaster Shen. We are ashamed to be with you!"
Cheng Gui also frowned.
It would be fine if he lost to Cheng Qing, but Cheng Qing showed such a petty spirit after winning.
Should I stop it?
If he objected, Cheng Qing might become more aggressive.
But I don't object, just looking at Cheng Qing losing face in this way...
Seeing everyone talking, Si Yan and Si Mo were in a hurry.
Alas, Young Master Cheng Qing solved 30 questions and they were so happy, and they also felt that following Cheng Qing might be really promising.
But what is Mr. Cheng Qing doing?
Is it really that short of money?
How could Master Five watch Mr. Cheng Qing suffer from poverty and suffering without money? Master Five will definitely secretly provide for subsidies.
What's more, Young Master Cheng Qing just won a hundred taels of silver, so why bother to greedy for the money to sell lanterns?
Even if you really want to sell it, you can ask them to sell it secretly. It would be unwise to do this in public.
Both servants felt that Cheng Qing was confused, let alone someone else.
He Wan looked up at Mr. He, saying that he would not be wrong about the person?
Forget it, don’t irritate grandpa anymore. He Wan closed her mouth tightly. This would be fine. Cheng Qing’s performance would make her grandpa dispel all the messy ideas.
Mr. He frowned.
It doesn’t matter whether or not it sells lanterns or not. Cheng Qing is not as stupid as such.
Si Mo boldly asked for help for Cheng Qing, "Young Master Qing, are you afraid that the young people will not be able to bring the lanterns home? Young Master Xie is polite, and the young people and Si Yan will definitely bring the lanterns back intact!"
Cheng Qing shook his head, "No, only five cups are left, and the rest are sold!"
Yu San sneered, Cheng Gui couldn't help it anymore, "Cheng Qing, if you are short of money-"
"It's really strange. Everyone cares about whether I'm short of money tonight. My family is indeed in a downturn, but I just won a hundred taels of silver. Is it strange to sell lanterns? Does Wenhui have any regulations that won lanterns are not allowed to be sold?"
Cheng Qing interrupted Cheng Gui.
Cheng Gui is not as straightforward as Yu San. Cheng Qing doesn't like her very much, so naturally he won't let Cheng Gui use her as a stepping stone to show his generosity.
"Of course you can give it to friends and family. It is elegant and meaningful, but reselling it... Haha, I have never heard of anyone doing this!"
Poor scholars also need face.
Only Cheng Qing doesn’t have any face!
Mr. He couldn't bear to be ridiculed by Cheng Qing, so he went out of the crowd:
"Cheng Xiaolang, what difficulties have you encountered? If you don't talk to others, you can talk to me."
"Brother He, you are here too!"
Unlike Yu San and Cheng Gui, these two people said that they wanted to give her money was a humiliation and ridicule. Mr. He was a truly enthusiastic person, and Cheng Qing respected each other more.
She originally wanted to continue to incite the emotions of the crowd. Since Mr. He was out, Cheng Qing stopped when he saw the situation:
Chapter completed!
