Whether the Old Master, who had made the bet with Li Xuan, had his worldview collapsed to the point of doubting life and leading to an early onset of dementia was not something that Li Yi needed to worry about.
After the two hours of warmth in the morning, standing in the courtyard and being blown by the cold wind inevitably made his hands and feet cold. Returning to his room, he set up the heater and immediately felt much more comfortable.
Li Xuan sat by the heater with his eyes unfocused. He did not speak and looked like he was daydreaming.
Li Yi often saw him like this. When he knew the law of free fall and that the ground under his feet was a big ball, he maintained this state for several days.
Such a person was either a genius or a madman. No matter which one it was, it was best not to disturb him when he was thinking.
If a genius's train of thought was interrupted, he might fight you to the death. If a madman's train of thought was interrupted, he would definitely fight you to the death.
Li Xuan's mind was wandering, but the gaze of the person beside him had always been on him.
Li Yi glanced at the bronze mirror in the room and did not find anything dirty on his face. He looked at MIngzhu and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Since entering the room, Li Yi found that she had been looking at him.
Although it was inevitable that his vanity would be a little satisfied when being looked at by a noble beauty, this person's identity was too noble. She was a princess.
If she looked at him for a long time and felt that the young man in front of her was really elegant, handsome, and talented, what would happen if she wanted to recruit him as her son-in-law?
No matter which dynasty it was, being a son-in-law was not a good job. Not to mention that he could not have three or four wives, he had to be controlled by his wife everywhere. Normal men would not be willing to suffer like this.
What's more, a violent woman like her would be unlucky to marry anyone!
As his thoughts began to wander, he saw MIngzhu stretch out her hand.
She wanted to look, but she also wanted to touch?
Ruyi and Xiao Huan were still at home. Li Yi's expression turned serious and was about to stop her when he suddenly saw her raise her wrist and grab his face.
Are you kidding me? You want to destroy something you can't get?
He had only asked, "Why are you looking at me?" Could it be that the Old Li family, whose ancestral home was in the northeast, could trigger a fierce battle with a simple "What are you looking at?"
Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his body instinctively made a defensive move. He grabbed her wrist with one hand, and with a simple Tai Chi push, he pushed her back.
She resisted so easily, which meant that she didn't use any strength just now. While Li Yi was puzzled, MIngzhu looked at him in surprise and asked, "What kind of kung fu is this?"
The first time she saw Li Yi use this kind of kung fu, a seed of curiosity had been planted in her heart. Later, her wife used this kind of kung fu to force the nanny to retreat with one move. She had read all the martial arts books collected by the royal family, but she didn't remember this kind of kung fu. It seemed to be different from any sect in the martial arts world.
"This is called Tai Chi. How is it? Isn't it awesome?"
Only then did Li Yi realize that she wanted to learn Tai Chi. He looked at her and said, "If you want to learn, call me master and I can teach you."
Since the chance of becoming a martial arts master was very slim, it was not bad to have a powerful disciple. Originally, Ruyi was the best candidate. However, after Li Yi mentioned it vaguely last time, she forced him to practice with her. The next day, she almost couldn't get out of bed. After that, she never mentioned it again.
It seemed that it was not bad to have a princess as a disciple. She had a noble status and was good at martial arts. She was pleasing to the eye, and she would be flattered by the royal family. It was a good thing to kill many birds with one stone.
MIngzhu didn't say anything, but her eyes showed her disgust.
With her current level of martial arts cultivation, only a Grandmaster could be her master.
He glanced at Li Yi. Just based on his weak appearance, he felt that he was too poor to be accepted as a disciple.
If she didn't want to bow, then so be it. He was too lazy to teach her. Li Yi curled his lips and thought, "Why haven't they left yet? Looking at the sky, it's almost time for dinner. Don't stay and eat for free later. There's no extra food at home today …"
"Why hasn't Xiao Huan come in yet? It's time to serve tea and send the guests off."
"Haha, I know. There are 35 heads on the top, 94 legs on the bottom, 12 rabbits and 23 chickens!" At this moment, Li Xuan, who had been in a trance, suddenly had a glimmer of light in his eyes. He jumped up from the chair and laughed, "Old man, you want to use this question to stump me? You must be dreaming!"
Li Yi didn't know what the old man Li Xuan was talking about would think if he heard those words. In any case, Li Yi would be scared by him.
Just as he was thinking about how to tactfully ask them to leave, Li Xuan suddenly jumped up as if he was having a seizure. His hands and feet danced as he muttered something under his breath. He seemed to have gone mad, and he almost kicked the heater on the floor.
"What's wrong? Hysteria?" In shock, he immediately stood up.
If the Crown Prince became hysterical and became silly in the future, would Prince Ning chop him up to make dumplings?
Even MIngzhu was shocked. She also thought that Li Xuan suddenly had a hysteria and pinched his philtrum.
"Ouch, ouch! Let go! " Li Xuan finally stopped having a seizure. He covered the part above his lips that was red from MIngzhu's pinch and breathed heavily.
Li Yi and MIngzhu looked at each other and felt relieved.
"What's wrong? Have you thought of a way to reject the marriage?" Li Yi looked at him and asked.
Seeing how excited he was just now, Li Yi really couldn't think of anything that could make him so happy.
"No, let's not talk about this first …" Li Xuan waved his hand and looked at Li Yi. He asked expectantly, "You are the number one scholar in the Jing Kingdom. How about I give you a question?"
"Nothing much." As long as Li Xuan didn't have a hysteria in front of him, it was fine. As for answering questions, it was almost time for dinner. Who had the free time?
As for the number one scholar in the Jing Kingdom, he had the title of a scholar and didn't give any money. Whoever wanted to be the scholar could be the one.
The expectant expression on Li Xuan's face froze. There was no way to continue this conversation.
"Are you afraid?" Li Xuan looked at him and asked.
"Yes, I'm afraid." It was child's play to provoke Li Yi.
"I bet 10 taels of silver."
"No way."
"100 taels."
"Deal!"
… …
… …
After a series of twists and turns, under the witness of the Princess, the two of them quickly reached a friendly wager. They bet on whether or not Li Yi could answer Li Xuan's question. The wager was a hundred taels of silver, and the agreed time was thirty minutes.
After clapping their hands to seal the vow, Li Xuan looked at Li Yi with a proud face.
This problem was given to him by the old man yesterday. He had spent a whole day trying to figure out the crux of the problem. A hundred taels of silver was nothing to him. It was enough to make Li Yi suffer and feel the taste of racking his brains. He was already satisfied.
He had been tortured by him so many times in the past. Today was the day to take revenge and wipe away the humiliation!
After making a comparison on the IQ level, Li Yi felt that the question Li Xuan mentioned should not be difficult for him. Just now, he vaguely heard him say something about heads, legs, and chickens and rabbits. Could it be the problem of chickens and rabbits living in the same cage?
"Today, there are rabbits living in the same cage. There are 35 heads and 94 legs. How many rabbits are there?" Li Xuan crossed his arms and looked proud, as if he had won.
"You have 30 minutes to think about it."
Li MIngzhu raised her eyebrows. She had heard of this mathematics question before and knew the answer. However, the specific method of solving the question was not recorded in the book. It must have been lost in the process of being passed down.
Even the Imperial Library did not have any record of it. The possibility of it existing among the common people was even smaller.
Li Yi sighed. If it was so easy to make money every time, why would he spend so much effort to study perfume and soap?
If there was a chance in the future, he would get to know more princes and princes and take the initiative to send a lot of money to him. What a wonderful life …
"There is no need for 30 minutes." As soon as Li Xuan's voice fell, Li Yi looked at him and said, "12 rabbits, 23 chickens, is this answer correct?"
The proud expression on Li Xuan's face froze again.
