Chapter 34 Secret Art
In the afternoon, a silver bell-like laughter came from the room. The maid waiting outside the room heard it and was puzzled: Why was Mrs. Zhao beaten by the man at night and still laughed during the day?
Unhuman maids don't know what will happen to women and men overnight, because no one tells them the secret.
Therefore, they only know that they would be beaten by the man who looked for a wife every night, so they couldn't get up from daylight. Now that Miss Zhao is smiling so happily, it should be the man who is funny. So, what's going on?
In the room, Li Li was playing a game with Zhao Mengniang: mind reading skills, this magical game made Zhao Mengniang very happy.
Zhao Mengniang was shocked by the patterns recorded in the center several times in succession, but after hearing what Li Li said, she smiled happily again.
Although he is just a concubine, Zhao Mengniang, who is newlywed, is immersed in happiness, enjoys her life with her beloved every night, and is with her beloved during the day, learning to write and learn arithmetic. Her newlywed life is extremely sweet.
"The mind reading technique is actually no big deal." Li Li said, pointing to a table on the desk, using a piece of paper and a pen to explain the secret to the concubine.
Mind reading is a way of making a living by later generations of gypsies. It looks mysterious and mysterious, but in fact the principle is very simple, it is actually a math game.
Make a pattern comparison table and give the numbers from ten to ninety-nine, all of which are two-digit numbers, and each number has a corresponding pattern.
Add the ten and single digits to get the "and".
Then subtract the ‘sum’ from the original number to get ‘poor’.
This difference must be a multiple of nine.
Therefore, on the pattern and number comparison table, any number that is multiple of nine has the same pattern.
Customers who spend money to read the mind choose any number, calculate the result, then remember the pattern corresponding to the result, and tell the witch the calculation result.
The witch touched the crystal ball and "made it" and after a while, a pattern was displayed.
It is the pattern corresponding to the number selected by the customer after calculating the result, so the customer is fooled and his mind is blank.
Considering that there is no sign of "0" in mathematics in this era, the two-digit numbers given by Li Li will not have numbers such as "ten", "twenty", and "thirty".
Of course, Zhao Mengniang didn't know this secret at first, so she was shocked by Li Li's mind reading skills. Now, after listening to the explanation, she suddenly realized it.
"There are restrictions on this trick, do you know what restrictions are?"
Li Li asked, Zhao Mengniang thought for a while and said, "Can the guest himself understand arithmetic?"
"Yes, if the customer doesn't know, this trick will be boring." Li Li smiled and pinched Zhao Mengniang's face: "So you have to learn arithmetic, otherwise you will not be qualified to be deceived by me..."
Zhao Mengniang covered her mouth and smiled, her cheeks flushed, and she was full of happiness.
To understand this secret, Li Li thought of the pen and counted it on paper for a while, his concubine always looked at him with stars all over the place, and felt that life was passing quickly.
It is very common to take a concubine before marrying a wife, and it is also very normal to have children born before marrying a wife. Of course, there is no doubt whether the wife will have any objections after marrying her.
Li Li doesn't care about this.
There is no saying that marriage is free these days. It is the order of a man and a woman to get married, and it is the order of a matchmaker, and it is extremely important to be of equal status.
In this era, scholars and common people are separated by different places, and the nobles are different. In general, the gentry will not intermarry with common people, common people will not intermarry with common people, and wealthy families will not intermarry with grass-roots people.
With his background, no major family is willing to marry a "high-quality" girl to him, unless it is forced to do so.
As for whether he will make a name for himself in the future, Li Li didn't know if there was a big family coming to marry.
Even if there is, there will be no so-called "free love". The girl who married became his wife based on family interests. She has no say in whether he is happy to take a concubine before marriage.
It is not known that the two people are not in line with their personalities and disagreements in their views.
Li Li felt that he and Zhao Mengniang were not really interested in him.
At first, Zhao Mengniang was "needed to the task", and then she developed "Stockholm Syndrome". In the end, she fell psychologically because her mother was saved. As for him, Zhao Mengniang...
Do you say you like it?
You are just greedy for her body!
You are mean!
Li Li's ear echoed with "question" and then he coughed dryly and took back his thoughts.
He thought Zhao Mengniang was a good virtuous man, with beautiful appearance, good personality, good understanding and expression skills. Although he was not educated, he could teach and Zhao Mengniang learned quickly.
Such a partner is pretty good.
Li Li sighed that Zhao Mengniang was thinking about the mind reading skills alone and mastered the rules. She felt more and more interesting. Li Li watched Zhao Mengniang rumbling and recalled it.
In a few days, he will go to the royal palace to accompany Xiao Qin through the last month.
According to the "Agreement", the Princess of Poyang will send someone to assess Xiao Qin's homework in February. So, for the rest of the time, Li Li plans to "friendly" a training program to help Xiao Qin exercise.
That is to practice your face.
After observation, Li Li found that Xiao Qin had a weakness, that is, he could not hide things in his heart. Whenever he had any small thoughts, he would show it on his face and it would be easily seen through.
Of course, this child is just a teenager and has no scheming, but the shortcomings of not being able to hide things on his face are obvious and are easily exploited.
Cai Quan said that several other men in the mansion like to tease Xiao Qin when they have nothing to do, as a relief.
Xiao Qin belongs to the pufferfish, and he is angry as soon as he touches him. He is very likely to lose his mind, be led into a trap, and is unable to break free. In the end, he can only be teased and misunderstood.
Over time, the king and the princess did not like it, and the other brothers either despise it or avoid it, so that Xiao Qin became a troublemaker in everyone's eyes.
So Li Li decided to have a special training to train Xiao Qin in a face. He dared not say that he was not as happy or angry as he was, but at least he should not be so easily seen in his heart.
You must also learn to "turn a blind eye to cold words" and not easily disturb your mind by others' words. Otherwise, no matter how capable you have, you cannot perform because of others' interference, which will waste several months of "reform" in vain.
Of course, Li Li knew many ways to practice facial skin, but Xiao Qin had a special identity, so many methods were not easy to use, so he figured out a solution.
Let Xiao Qin set up a stall, turn into a child prodigy, and use his mind reading skills.
Facing all kinds of guests, you must suppress the urge to laugh, express your expressions, and be serious and fool people.
However, there are limitations to the use of this trick, that is, guests who come to the door must have basic arithmetic ability, otherwise it will be in vain.
......
During school in Poyang County, students walked out of the school in groups of three or five, some walked back to the school, some walked out of the door and went home on their own.
At the beginning of the new year, the county school has just started and many students have not returned to school. Therefore, the county school has not taught new lessons, and it is mostly based on review. There is no lively scene in front of the door when the school was over.
Huang Silang, the youngest son of Huang Dache, followed a few classmates out of the gate and walked towards the corner of the street.
There, a man who called himself a "child prodigy" opened a stall in a private house facing the street, saying that he could "read the mind".
At first, the neighbors didn’t believe it, and the students who passed after school didn’t believe it, but gradually, the reputation of this stall’s “magic calculation” became increasingly popular, and many students who were skeptical went to find out.
Now, Huang Silang is going to see the skills of this prodigy and then expose the other party's tricks.
"He must be a liar, otherwise if he really knows the mind reading skills, why not go to Jiankang to find a powerful man, use his mind reading skills, and then rise to the top with this?"
"At present, I am renting a yard and setting up a stall in Poyang, just pretending to be a god and cheating the hard-earned money of ignorant people."
Huang Silang said confidently, although he didn't believe in "mind reading skills", many of his classmates agreed with it, and it is said that some people have tried it in person, which is indeed magical.
Therefore, today we have to compete with that so-called "child prodigy". It is best to expose the true face of this person who cheated and cheated people of money in public.
When he arrived at the corner of the street, he lined up a long line in front of the house with a special guise. Seeing this, Huang Silang became more and more energetic and said to his classmates: "Look at me, I will leave the liar speechless!"
Next to him, several passing men stopped and looked at Huang Silang with eyes fixed on his eyes. The classmates were quite jealous when they saw this:
You look so pretty, anyone who sees you will think you are a beautiful woman.
They also thought that Huang Silang was most likely to be dressed as a man, but later on an outing, they saw Huang Silang standing and "sheep", and their doubts were relieved.
Now seeing passers-by watching, she smiled and said, "Huang Lang, you are really reborn Pan An."
Huang Silang didn't say anything and stared at the men watching him. These people were a little embarrassed and left quickly.
There are many people who want to meet prodigy, including men and women, old and young. Two young men in plain clothes are guarding the door, maintaining order while shouting:
"If you have to know how to calculate the numbers, you have to pay ten cents first!"
"Please be careful, everyone, you can only see one person at a time, and it will always be your turn."
"If you don't know how to count, don't come in, and the money will not be refunded if you come in!"
"Don't make trouble if you watch the fun, you have to charge money!"
Huang Silang and his companions lined up and saw a classmate coming out from the side door next to him. He seemed to have just read the heart to the prodigy, and looked shocked.
Huang Silang thought for a while and asked his companions to continue queuing up. He met him and asked the classmate: "Brother, does that child prodigy really have magical powers?"
When the other party saw that it was a county classmate, he nodded: "Yes, it's really amazing!"
Huang Silang asked again: "Why are you asking you to choose numbers, remember patterns, and then read your heart?"
"Well, just like what they said."
Huang Silang stopped asking questions and returned to the team.
Seeing the people in front of him a little excited, he whispered that the prodigy inside was a "magic calculation". Huang Silang didn't agree with it, but he didn't dare to take it lightly and thought about it carefully.
Someone has asked before and knows what the process of divination of a child prodigy is like.
For several days, everyone who has been to this stall said that the child prodigy is amazing. Huang Silang carefully thought about the process of the child prodigy's divination, and he would not be able to think of the other party's steps to deal with it for a while.
However, I followed Aye around and saw many tricks in the world, so I am sure to expose the true face of the so-called prodigy today.
Let's do it first, observe carefully, and then queue up for the second time.
Huang Silang didn't believe it twice, and couldn't see the other party's flaws. Then, the third time, he had to expose the other party's tricks on the spot.
Chapter completed!
