Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty

Chapter 36 Keeping the Chicken and the Rabbit Together

Unfolding the yellowed paper, Cui Wenyuan saw the crooked handwriting on it, and immediately smiled and said, "When did His Royal Highness King Chu have a child?"

Wang Wenjian was puzzled and said, "I haven't heard of such a thing. Didn't His Majesty bestow a marriage on him some time ago? It should be unmarried. How could there be a child?"

Cui Wenyuan gave Wang Wenjian a blank look, and said, "If there are no children in the Prince Chu's mansion, then who wrote the bad characters on this piece of paper? Could it be the King Chu?" The smile on his face was slightly mocking, obviously Rubbing secretly, well, blatantly mocking Li Xin's ugly handwriting.

Indeed, regardless of the content written on the paper, judging from the handwriting alone, these crooked strokes are indeed full of childishness, and it looks like the handwriting of a Mongolian boy who has just started learning to use a brush. Objectively speaking, it is even worse.

Only then did Wang Wenjian understand Cui Wenyuan's meaning, and said with a smile: "It's true, it's true. I don't know which child wrote this word, and I didn't practice it well, so I dared to come out and give us two questions. I really don’t know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth!”

The two have a good family background, and they started reading and writing at the age of three. Although they can't be called calligraphers, they can write decently no matter whether it is regular script or regular script. From this aspect, they are really qualified to laugh at Li Xin.

Old Zheng, the concierge, was a little angry when he saw the two idiots in front of him laughing at his lord's calligraphy, but he finally held back and didn't say anything more. Because the prince told him yesterday that the two guys who visited the palace might not be convinced at first, and they would talk too much, so let him bear with it and stop talking. When you want to leave, say the next thing.

Although judging from the current situation, Lao Zheng didn't see any sign of the expression described by the prince in front of the two fools for the time being, but he had a strange and wonderful self-confidence. Because when the prince explained these things to him yesterday, the expression on his face was so sinister that he couldn't help but shiver all over his body when he saw it. I believe that the prince must have great confidence to explain it like this.

I just have to be patient and wait. Lao Zheng said this to himself.

After a while, Wang Wenjian and Cui Wenyuan finally had enough of laughing at Li Xin's calligraphy, shook their heads and focused on the content of the piece of paper. The two held a piece of paper in each hand, and after casually glanced twice, they found that the questions written on the two pieces of paper were different.

"Then let me see what kind of problems His Royal Highness the King of Chu has given me!" Wang Wenjian sneered, and read to the paper in his hand: "Today, there are pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, with forty on top and one on the bottom." One hundred and fourteen feet, ask the pheasant and the rabbit how much it is? Hah!"

After reading the topic, he threw the piece of paper away and said with a smile, "This kind of topic is not easy? The rabbit has four legs, and the chicken has two legs, so there are twelve in total? No. Sixteen? Not twenty. ?”

Lao Zheng didn't speak, and stood quietly in the distance, looking at Wang Wenjian peacefully.

Wang Wenjian's face suddenly turned red, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

Damn, how many rabbits, how many chickens?

He folded his hands behind his back and kept snapping his fingers, as if hoping it would help the frantic calculations going on in his mind. However, the more I counted, the more I couldn't figure out the result, the more I couldn't figure out the result, the more panic I felt, and I couldn't even remember how many heads and how many feet were mentioned in the title.

Wang Wenjian quietly glanced at the piece of paper he threw on the ground with the corner of his eye. Although it didn't fall very far, he always felt that it seemed to be separated from him by a whole Milky Way - just now he threw away the paper so coolly, should he bend down to throw it away now? Did you get the paper back?

Absolutely not! This vulgar porter is just watching from the sidelines! How could you do such a lowly thing?

But I really don't remember how many heads are on it and how many feet are on it!

Wang Wenjian scolded Li Xin in his heart: What kind of strange question is this? Why put rabbits and chickens in the same cage? Why only count heads and feet? You count combs, beaks, ears, what's wrong with counting, you have to count heads and feet? If I ever found out which idiot did this, I'd have to beat the fuck up!

Seeing Wang Wenjian's face turning red and white, Lao Zheng thought to himself, "Your lord is indeed a genius! A piece of paper can cure this idiot like this!" His original gloomy mood followed Wang Wenjian's gloomy expression And it gradually turned sunny. If it wasn't for his extraordinary self-control, he would have burst into laughter by now.

No way, it's so cool.

Wang Wenjian saw the flickering eyes of the doorman in front of him, and he was keenly aware that there seemed to be a hint of ridicule in it, so he even scolded Old Zheng in his heart, even worse than Li Xin and the chicken and rabbit. An idiot in a cage is tougher.

But it's no use scolding, you still have to do the questions.

Wang Wenjian hesitated for a while, then snorted coldly: "I was careless just now, there is something I didn't see clearly, I want to read it again!" He bent down, picked up the piece of paper, and blew the dust on it.

Lao Zheng watched Wang Wenjian's performance silently, as calmly as if he was watching a fool.

Cui Wenyuan stood aside silently, swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He didn't take Li Xin's questions seriously at first, and he planned to follow Wang Wenjian's example immediately after Wang Wenjian finished answering the questions, throwing away the pieces of paper casually, and then quickly gave the answer.

After Wang Wenjian read out the question, he silently tried to figure it out in his heart, thinking that it was not difficult to come up with the answer. However, the result was beyond his expectation—he was so aching in his brain that he couldn't even count the number of rabbits and chickens. Apparently, Wang Wenjian was the same, as if he had no clue at all.

What exactly is going on? Why is King Chu's question so weird? Is it really that difficult?

Cui Wenyuan pinched the paper in his hand and suddenly felt something was wrong.

Wang Wenjian stared at his topic for a long while, but his expression didn't improve at all, but the cold sweat on his back grew more and more.

Old Zheng Yinyang said strangely: "Don't read it, there is no answer written on it. Has this young man figured out the answer?"

"You!" Wang Wenjian was so angry that he trembled all over. He couldn't utter a word of rebuttal, so he snorted heavily and said in a low voice: "This question is interesting, I have to think about it again. Brother Cui, why don't you take a look at it?" How about your question? Come on, you should answer first!"
