Tianjia Peasant Girl: Overwhelm the Cold Charm God of War

Chapter 387

The steward pointed to the people in the first row and smiled.

Zhong Jiuling put down the teacup in his hand, looked up, suddenly became interested, and said to Zhong Lingyun who was beside him: "Little brother, this housekeeper can be cultivated, but the key is to see whether he is loyal or not.

Otherwise, can you choose for the eldest sister? "

Facing Zhong Jiuling's smiling eyes, Zhong Lingyun suddenly widened his eyes, "Sister, are you joking?!"

"Of course not." Zhong Jiuling said solemnly, signaling him to hurry up and choose.

Zhong Lingyun, who got Zhong Jiuling's affirmative answer, swept away the boredom and depression just now, coughed lightly and got up, and the little man walked back and forth in front of the first row of people with his hands behind his back just like his grandfather.

Then he stopped in front of a man who looked fairly clean, pointed to the black mark on his face, and asked, "Why do you have this?"

The man nodded at Zhong Lingyun, "Because I was judged as a sinner by the government and sentenced to tattoo, so I was branded with this mark."

When this man spoke, although he was still respectful to Zhong Lingyun, he didn't have the lowliness of an inferior person, which showed that he was an arrogant person.

Zhong Jiuling glanced at him unconsciously, and saw his little brother nod suddenly, and then took a step across to the person next to the man, "Then what about you, why are you here? Also, look at your whiteness Yes, what can you do?"

The man who was questioned by Zhong Lingyun took a special look at the clothes worn by Zhong Jiuling and his brother. Seeing that they were not silk and satin, he saw them clearly, and raised his head proudly, "I am from a scholar, am I not Everyone goes there."

"Oh, you are still a scholar, so strange." Zhong Lingyun looked at him with big black and white eyes, and then said: "Then I will give you a question to test you. If you can answer it, I will ask the elder sister to give it a try." I will give you ten taels of silver as wages every month."

A wage of ten taels of silver a month? !

This time, everyone present was a little moved, and all eyes were on Zhong Lingyun!
He shook his head and said, "There is a litter of pigs in front of the door, seventeen with three legs, seven more four-legged than three-legged, and one sow is pregnant with seven piglets, so may I ask how many pigs there are in front of the door now?" How many pork legs?"

As soon as Zhong Lingyun asked the question, the scholar frowned, "How can there be so many three-legged pigs in the world?"

It's just that just after he said this, the man next to him who had experienced the tattoo torture said, "140 seven legs."

"Oh, why is it 140 instead of 170?" Zhong Lingyun turned his head sideways, looked at this person, and asked back.

He heard him speak slowly: "Because those seven little piggies are still in the sow's stomach."

"Okay, it's just you." Zhong Lingyun got up suddenly, pulled him forward, and came to Zhong Jiuling and Zhong Jiuzhou, "Eldest sister, elder brother, I choose him as their housekeeper, is it okay?"

Zhong Jiuling glanced at the man in front of him faintly, and asked, "Where is this person from? Why was he sentenced? And where did you learn your arithmetic skills?"

Zhong Jiuling asked three questions in a row, and the man in front of him answered without haste, "The villain is from Jiangcheng, surnamed Xu and Minglin. As for the ability to count, I learned it from my father when I was young."

As for how to be sentenced, he did not mention a word.
