116, Challenge Mi Family

Behind the Xuzhou prefect Tao Qian, there were civil and military officials from Xuzhou. Sun Yu did not know any of these officials. When the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance army was against the army, Sun Yu focused on several famous princes. He didn't care much about Tao Qian, nor did he care about her generals. However, Sun Yu knew that these people would know him soon, because he was about to perform gorgeously in front of them.

Of course, the time for the performance is not now! Sun Yu glued himself a fake beard, drew his eyebrows thicker, and dressed up as a rough businessman. Because Tao Qian had also participated in the anti-Dong Zhuo alliance army, Sun Yu was afraid of being recognized.

In front of the Cao family's convoy, an old woman dressed in colorful clothes got out of the car and bowed to each other to greet Tao Qian. It seemed that this old woman was Cao Song. Unexpectedly, when she came to this world, even Cao Cao's father Cao Song became an old woman, and she didn't know who her father was.

Taking advantage of Tao Qian's time to welcome the Cao family with civil and military officials, Sun Yu's carriage was inconspicuously entering Xuzhou city through the side gate.

What a prosperous and prosperous city. I saw the traffic in the middle of the road, and the people were walking through it. There were many shops on both sides of the road, and there were all kinds of shops, such as iron, rouge, cloth, gold and jade... In addition, there were many vendors who walked around, including cow hair, vegetables, meat, and candied haws...

I bought a handful of candied haws, and a woman gave them one. Zhang Baiqi and Mi Zhen were both born in a wealthy family, so I didn’t feel anything about it. Taishici was from a poor family since he was a child, and almost cried while eating candied haws. Xu Huang looked ugly and ate it with satisfaction, but while eating, he spoke, saying, “It’s really unpalatable, I don’t like to eat this broken thing.”

Dizzy, Sun Yu said angrily: "If you don't like to eat, I'll throw it away."

Xu Huang shook his white skirt and turned his head to Sun Yu and said, "Although it is unpalatable, the food is precious, so I'll just eat it."

You're so dizzy. If you taste delicious, you'll die. What awkward person? Sun Yu was so depressed.

The carriage entered the city and walked slowly on the bustling streets. Mi Zhen was a little excited. He almost jumped off the carriage several times, but was pulled by Sun Yu. Under Mi Zhen's guidance, Sun Yu's carriage slowly came to the front of the Mi family mansion.

This is a typical businessman's home. The atmosphere of the rich mansion is undoubtedly revealed. The wide door is painted golden red and covered with large golden copper nails. The stone lions on both sides of the door are scattering teeth and claws, full of momentum. A screen wall engraved with poems is facing the door. It seems that although the Mi family is a businessman, they also want to be art.

He smiled at the girls behind him and said, "The place has been found, so we are going to make a big fuss about the Mi family, but... everyone's identities must be changed. From now on, my name is Li Nan, the name... In the early stage, it means to vent his anger. Mi Zhen is my eldest wife. Zhang Baiqi, you pretend to be my eldest maid, Taishi Ci, you pretend to be my little maid, Xu Huang... Cough cough, please pretend to be my personal guard."

"Why do you need to make this arrangement?" Mi Zhen asked curiously.

He laughed dryly and said, "Hehe, this... it's mainly to show my identity. With a lot of beautiful women, wives, maids, and beauty guards, this identity is naturally higher, and it's easier to show off your power in front of your sister. By the way, take a veil and cover your face first, and don't be recognized from the beginning."

Mi Zhen seemed to understand, but she knew that Sun Yu had all kinds of military skills, so it was not too easy to make her proud, so she made arrangements as he was happy. She took a veil and covered her face tightly.

He asked Zhang Baiqi to run to the Four Treasures Store in the study next to him and bought a huge brush, which was as thick as a child's arm. After dipping it ink, he ran to the front of the screen wall of the Mi family, waved the pen and wrote in a tilted and inverted word: "Li Nan, a giant merchant from Hebei, came here to challenge the Mi family's arithmetic skills! Do you dare to take it?"

These words are written in big and ugly. If the screen wall of the Mi family is not washed again, it will be ruined. After Sun Yu finished writing it, he asked Taishi Ci to buy a large copper mat and knocked it at the gate of the Mi family with a "bang bang bang". The sound made people's ears numb.

After such a big fuss, all the neighbors were alarmed and ran to the door of Mi's house in groups to watch the fun. Sun Yu, with an ugly beard, shouted proudly at the Mi family's house: "Listen from the Mi family, I am Li Nan, a magistrate businessman from Hebei, I am unparalleled in my calculations. Do you dare to come out to compete with me with arithmetic?"

"Tsk, you're crazy. How dare a man challenge arithmetic to the Mi family?" The crowd of onlookers suddenly screamed.

"Don't you know how fast the 'abacus' of Mi Fang's second lady is?"

"Don't you know how powerful the 'mental arithmetic' skill of Mi Zhu is?"

"You're crazy!"

"A fool! A man can't beat the two ladies of the Mi family."

The crowd in the surrounding area quickly gave Sun Yu a crazy comment. Sun Yu didn't care about these passers-by A, B, C and D, and just shouted at the Mi family mansion with serene satisfaction.

The old servant of the Mi family came out and took a look. When he saw the big words scribbled on the screen wall, he was immediately angry. He shouted, "You guy is so unaware of the matter. You are dead. Please wait for me and don't run away. I'll go in and call someone."

He laughed and said, "Call people slowly, don't worry! I won't run away."

After a while, the old gatekeeper really called out a lot of people. These people were guarding the house, guarding the hospital, etc., and stood in a row, surrounding Sun Yu and the four girls. A woman walked out of the hospital. She looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a sharp face, thin lips, and pretty, but her expression looked a bit fierce and had a bad temper.

The woman scolded loudly: "Where did you come from the bastard? You dare to come to my Mi family to play wild? You want to compare arithmetic? Huh, come and compare with me Mi Fang."

Yo, is this woman Mi Fang? According to later records, this man had no talent and was incompatible with Guan Yu. Later, he surrendered to Dongwu and caused Guan Yu to go to Maicheng to die. He was really a villain. Sun Yu felt sorry for her and said sarcastically: "Yeah, are you Mi Fang, who is famous for 'abacus'?"

"That's right, you man scribbling on the wall in front of my house. Do you want to die?" Mi Fang put his hand on his hips and shouted fiercely.

He smiled coldly and said proudly as Xu Huang's ox-like appearance: "I am Li Nan, a magnificent merchant in Hebei. This time I passed by Xuzhou. I heard that the two sisters of your Mi family are very good at making a settlement. I'm afraid, are you afraid?"

"Bah!" Mi Fang spitted and said, "I am a woman who knows military skills. Are you afraid of men? Don't embarrass me here. You should pay me the money from the screen wall right away, just... twenty gold, after paying, kneel down and kowtow to me fifty, and I will let you go. Otherwise, I will ask someone to beat you until halfway to death!"

At this time, there were more and more onlookers. The residents of the whole street and passers-by A, B, C and D surrounded him. Sun Yu looked around and felt that the limelight had already spread. So he laughed twice and said to Mi Fang: "If you are not afraid of me, why not accept my account settlement challenge? If I lose, I will accompany you twenty gold and kowtow to you to apologize. If you lose, let the plaque I wrote always be painted on your screen wall. It is not allowed to be wiped out within half a year. How about it?"

Mi Fang is a stingy person, and she can't bear this anger. She really didn't take the man in her heart. When she heard this, she immediately responded: "Okay, just compare, how can you compare? You can draw the way!"

He bowed left and right, and said to the onlookers who were not sure about the truth: "Everyone lives in the village, I am Li Nan, a tycoon in Hebei. I want to challenge the Mi family, a wealthy businessman in Xuzhou, to make a notarization. In three days, we will be in the most lively restaurant in Xuzhou City...uh...what building is here?"

The onlookers shouted: "Bawang Tower!"

He quickly said, "After three days, at noon, Bawanglou, I, Li Nan, and Mi family, compete with the Mi family! How to compete... For fairness, let's compare the account book of Bawanglou. My family and I will send ten account books to each other. Whoever calculates first will win, what do you think?"

The onlookers naturally cheered loudly, and Mi Fang sneered and said, "If you want to die, I will let you do it. Three days later, the winner will be decided on the top of the King's Tower. Don't be scared to run away." After that, Mi Fang shook her hand and took the servants and guards back to the house. She was arrogant by nature and really didn't wash off the words on the screen wall and let it stay there.

Because Mi Fang thought that she would win better than arithmetic, she could slap Sun Yu in the face after a few days, so of course she was so happy not to wipe it off. She was not worried about Sun Yu's escape. If Sun Yu really ran away, the Mi family would only have a longer face.

The riot was over, and the onlookers had no fun to watch, but there was a big bust in three days and they couldn't escape. There were too few entertainment programs in this era. When they heard that there were such big gossips to watch, they were all very happy. They quickly spread out and notified their relatives and friends in Xuzhou, and called their aunts, Zhang San, Li Si, and Wang Mazi to inform everyone who could notify them that there would be a good show in the Bawang Tower in three days.

Only half a day later, the entire Xuzhou city exploded and everyone was talking about this matter. Everyone was anxious to watch the competition in three days. The business of Bawanglou immediately became better. All the banquets in three days were ordered, and they were waiting to watch the fun that day.

He took the four girls and squeezed out of the crowd and left with his fingers and points among the onlookers who were not aware of the truth.

"My husband... Are you a military general? Are you using your 'gun king' military general skills in arithmetic?" Mi Zhen saw this posture and said a little worriedly: "How can I win arithmetic with my sister?" Mi Zhen had already wanted to say this sentence, but there were too many people just now, so she wanted to give her men face, so she had to keep silent. Now that we are out together, she hurriedly came up to ask.

"Don't worry, your husband, I have many skills, all kinds of skills, and they are all kinds of strange things." Sun Yu laughed and said, "Counting numbers is not an amazing move."

Mi Zhen is skeptical...

Taishici intersected from the side: "What is arithmetic used for?"

Xu Huang and Taishi Ci have been together for a few days and have already known her weaknesses. In addition, she was scared by Taishi Ci. Xu Huang found the opportunity to take revenge immediately, pretending to be amazing and said: "Arithmetic is the technique used by human traffickers to calculate how much a child is worth when selling children."

"Scared?" Taishi Ci shrank all over and murmured: "It seems that the Mi family is a bad guy. He has mastered such a terrible skill. No, he must arrest and sell all such bad guys."

The cow girl Xu Huang snorted coldly and said, "Do you think the bad guys can catch them just by saying that? If you lose the competition in three days, the traffickers and general will lose you to the Mi family to compensate for the losses caused by scribing the screen walls of others."

Taishici was shocked, grabbed Sun Yu's arm and shouted: "You must win!"

I was so dizzy. What kind of monsters are these women? Sun Yu shook his head. Not far ahead is the Bawang Tower. Sun Yu found an inn next to the Bawang Tower, opened a few rooms, and lived in with a few girls.

When it was dark that night, the head of the Mi family, Xuzhou, did not work as a mi Zhu, dragged his tired body back home.

She is a 22-year-old mature lady with good facial features, tall talent and gentle temperament. She has been exhausted these days. Not only has to take care of the family's business, but also handle the affairs of Xuzhou, and also has to send people to look for the missing young sister Mi Zhen everywhere.

Today, a distinguished guest came to Xuzhou, Cao Cao's old mother Cao Song. As an official in Xuzhou, Mi Zhu had to accompany Tao Qian to greet him. This time, he had to make trouble and had a banquet. When he came home, it was already dark.

Just as I got out of the sedan chair in front of the mansion, I looked at the lantern at the corner of the sedan chair and saw a row of crooked words written on the screen wall: Li Nan, a giant merchant from Hebei, came here to challenge the Mi family's magic calculation skills! Do you dare to take the initiative?

Mi Zhu was shocked and quickly rushed into the mansion to find the second sister and asked. Mi Fang then told Li Nan during the day and said in detail about the matter of competing arithmetic in three days.

After hearing Mi Fang's words, Mi Zhu sighed and said, "Second sister, why are you always trying to do anything with others? Last time, you took advantage of my trip to the business and went out for a long time to betroth the third sister to Lord Tao's waste son, which made the third sister run away from home. I have been searching for several months but haven't found it yet. This time you are making trouble again... Do you know? Xuzhou is now receiving Cao Song, and this is a time when trouble can't happen."

Mi Fang snorted, "Third sister, I have a waste general, Isn't it just right to marry a waste? I found a good match for her, but she didn't know she would run away from home."

"Oh, don't make trouble for your sister anymore." Mi Zhu sighed: "The third sister is our sister after all, and her skills are useless. I don't allow you to say that to her. In short, get the person back as soon as possible. As for the marriage with the Tao family, if the third sister doesn't want to, I will come to my door and turn it off."

She paused and said, "What kind of comparison is settled in three days? I won't go. You can go by yourself. You have to forgive others. You can't be too mean, remember it for me. After you win that Li Nan, you are humble and don't laugh at others." She never thought that the second sister would lose, because a woman who knows military skills would not lose to a man.
