Chapter 139 Uncle Zhong Kui
The soup is pleasant to the ears and comfortable to the heart.
"So I'm saying, when it comes to studying, no one in the entire Tangjia Village is more gifted than you two brothers! After the Chinese New Year, the Zhishu School in the town will definitely come to recruit people, and you two will definitely be able to attend Zhishu School this year!"
"Well, we don't have to look at those bastards anymore. They are an eyesore. When we pass the examinations to become scholars, judges, and high-ranking officials in the future, I will definitely kill all those bastards. I think they are too arrogant..." Tang Dayuan was full of confidence.
Tang Xianming stroked his beard and smiled, "My grandson has great ambitions! Good! Let's tolerate them for a while and see how they die in the future."
"We're going to review our lessons, Grandpa. Don't be angry. These bastards are not worth your anger."
Tang Xianming was relieved, "Okay, Grandpa won't be angry. Grandpa watching you succeed is better than anything else. That weird girl won't be able to jump around for a few days. She will get into trouble sooner or later. We just have to wait and see how her family becomes a laughing stock."
Brother Li Zheng is getting old and confused.
If it really doesn't work, let him lead the entire Tangjia Village, maybe he can make life in Tangjia Village better.
The two grandsons went back to the house.
Tang Xianming was still secretly cursing Xiao Yuanbao's family when suddenly, a messenger knocked on the door.
"Is this Tang Xianming's house? You have a letter, come out and get it..."
"Okay." Tang Xianming responded quickly and went out.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a letter sent back by the sons.
Normally, to receive a letter, one has to go to the post office in town to collect it. However, if the sender has spent a lot of money to send the letter, the letter can be delivered to your door. Even if you live in the countryside, as long as the sender can be found, the post office staff will deliver it to your door.
Because there was frequent correspondence between Tang Xianming's family and his wife.
The people at the post office are very familiar with their family.
Tang Xianming took the letter back and thanked the courier again and again before going into the house, closing the door, and opening the letter.
At first, he was smiling, but as he watched the rest of the story, the smile on his face gradually froze.
His expression became serious.
As usual, he burned the letter until only a pile of ash remained, and then began to pace around the room with his hands behind his back.
Sometimes he looked worried, sometimes excited; his expression was quite complicated.
Finally, he said to himself, "No, absolutely not! The children will be implicated! They still have to take the imperial examinations..."
After Tang Xianming finished speaking, he hurried out to the post office in the town to write a reply.

I went to the village school for several days in a row.
Little Yuanbao insisted on getting up early and going to school with his brothers. He was very energetic.
Everything else is fine, except that it wastes my schoolbag.
Cai finally had no choice but to find her a black one, since it was impossible to tell whether it was stained with ink or not.
What is invisible to the eyes is pure.
The black backpack with pink ruffles also looks good.
Before we knew it, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is the Little New Year.
The village school is closed.
Let the children go home for the New Year.
Xiao Yuanbao calculated with his fingers and found that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was the best auspicious day recently.
She began to set up the incense table and invite the gods from all directions to help her make the Five Emperors' Coins.
I saw little Yuanbao with a sad expression and muttering to himself.
After she finished reading, the room suddenly became filled with a chilly breeze.
A black mist emerged from the ground, and in the blink of an eye, the black mist condensed into a human figure.
This man had a leopard head, round eyes, an iron face, curly beard, and a strange appearance. He was none other than Zhong Kui.
When Xiao Yuanbao saw Zhong Kui, his eyes lit up and he actually summoned Uncle Zhong Kui. In the underworld, if you ask who is the best at catching ghosts and drawing talismans, it must be Zhong Kui.
Whether it is exorcising demons, catching ghosts or warding off evil spirits, it is no problem.
Little Yuanbao ran over happily, grabbed Zhong Kui's big hand and started shaking.
"Uncle Zhong Kui, Xiao Yuanbao misses you so much. I haven't counted your beard for a long time!" Xiao Yuanbao said coquettishly.
After Zhong Kui came up, he just thought that whoever was so blind as to invite the gods without offering sacrifices just by touching his upper and lower lips wanted to invite the gods, so he had to talk to her properly.
When they looked up, it turned out to be the living ancestor, the daughter of Prince Yan. It was so hard for this ancestor to go to the human world to cause trouble, and it was rare for the underworld to have peace.
I happened to be free today, so I came up to take a look when someone was asking for help. Unfortunately, I ran into this devil, and before I could even run away, I was caught by this ancestor.
He pretended not to recognize her, tugged at his sleeves, and tried to slip away.
But the little milk ball was so strong that it couldn't be pulled away.
Little Yuanbao stared at Zhong Kui with shining eyes: "Uncle Zhong Kui, you came at the right time. I need your help with something."
"It's Xiao Yuanbao. Everyone missed you during the time you were away from the underworld. The hall masters have been thinking about you every day, fearing that you were not living well in the human world. If it weren't for the busy official business in the underworld, they would have rushed up to see you. By the way, is there anything you need your uncle's help with?" Zhong Kui looked at Xiao Yuanbao with a guilty conscience.
After hearing this, Xiao Yuanbao was very happy, with a smile on his face, "I miss daddy and the palace masters too. Next time, I will bring daddy and the palace masters to the human world to play. It's so much fun here. There are so many delicious foods and fun things. It's so happy."
"Uncle Zhong Kui, please help me make some Five Emperors' Coins. When you're done, I'll take you to eat delicious food." Little Yuanbao's face was full of impatience. He couldn't stop drooling when he thought of those delicious foods.
It turns out to be the Five Emperors’ Coins!
Small matter.
It's not enough to let him go to any lengths to help her destroy things.
He was happy to teach her some skills.
They all hope that their goddaughters will become more capable, so that when they get old, there will be new and promising people to share the work with them, and they can rest assured and enjoy their retirement, right?
Zhong Kui touched Xiao Yuanbao's head lovingly and nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Yuanbao, watch carefully and learn carefully. I will teach you once. It is very simple. After watching, you will be able to do it by yourself in the future."
“Just be careful of some things. The Five Emperors’ Coins won’t take effect immediately after they’re made. They need to be kept in the incense bag for a while. Also, you don’t have the ability now, so you can only make two at a time. If you make more, it’ll be stressful.” Zhong Kui warned Xiao Yuanbao worriedly.
Little Yuanbao listened carefully and nodded obediently.
After saying that, Zhong Kui's eyes fell on the pile of ancient coins on the incense table. He picked out five ancient coins of excellent quality from the pile, weaved the five coins one by one, put them into an incense bag, added rice and tea leaves into it, and then tied the bag. Then he made seals with his hands and recited a spell. Then a string of Five Emperors' Coins was completed.
Seeing this, Xiao Yuanbao also followed the steps and started to make it. After about a quarter of an hour, a string of crooked Five Emperors' coins was finally made. He added rice and tea leaves into the sachet one by one.
Then the chubby little hands made hand seals awkwardly and he started to chant a spell. After he finished chanting the spell, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Xiao Yuanbao's forehead.
Zhong Kui wiped the sweat off Xiao Yuanbao's forehead with a distressed look on his face. "Xiao Yuanbao is awesome! You learned it after watching it once. When you become good, you can make many at a time. You want a few more strings? Uncle will make the rest for you."
