"Then I have to calculate, Ziyan, you are good at math, help grandpa, I was born in the sixteenth year of Guangxu, that year was 1890 in the year of the Common Era, and this year is 2016, how old am I?"

When the old man saw Qiao and asked him his age, he probably rarely encountered such a problem, so he temporarily grabbed a strong man to help calculate.

"You're one hundred and twenty-six years old!"

"Or is my granddaughter good at calculations, and she came out in one bite! Boy, can you take a look?"

Ziyan complained: "Grandpa! This is a very simple math problem, just addition, and young people don't need to calculate it to know." ”

In fact, she counts her grandfather's lifespan every year, and he still cares about the old man.

As for Qiao Zhi, he had no doubts about the calculated numbers, but doubted whether the old man's memory was really accurate.

It may or may not be long, and his brain is clear, and he is not confused, although the old man's legs and feet are not dexterous.

If this is true, there must be some mystery.

"Old man, you really live a long life, it's not easy! You are the most outstanding birthday star I have ever seen, there is no one! Old man, can you reveal the secret of your longevity?"

To be realistic, Qiao Zhi still doesn't believe that the old man is really one hundred and twenty-six years old!

Therefore, although he has a lot of things on his mind, he still gets to the bottom of it.

He felt that if he didn't figure it out, he wouldn't be able to change his mind if he did something else.

"I don't know! I'm still wondering! My sons will live to be seventy or eighty years old, and now my youngest daughter is left in the generation of children. Mention her again, but don't mention it. Not to mention ......"

"That's my aunt!"

Purple Smoke pouted.

"Maybe it's only been a few months in the cave, and it's been a thousand years in the world? If it weren't for my children and grandchildren helping me count the days, I wouldn't know when it would have been! Anyway, in this underground palace, there is no distinction between day and night, cold and heat, day to night, year to year, all the same. ”

It seems that this old man is also a big grinning man, and these things are not clear from him.

It is estimated that it has something to do with his living environment.

And no wonder. If he doesn't suffocate, he will suffocate to death, and he can live a long life?

"Just now, old man, you mentioned that you are the last former Qing Xiucai, are you sure you remember this accurately?"

Joe retreated and went for the second, if this matter was reliable, then the old man's age was also generally reliable, and even if there was a gap, it was only about the same.

"This is absolutely accurate. At this time, one of the most successful events in my life, whenever I was unhappy, I would rummage out and review it, and those unhappy emotions would disappear. Think about it, how can this thing, which I have revisited a thousand times, not be accurate?"

The old man mentioned it. Apparently in a state of high spirits.

This made Qiao Zhi's belief in him increase a lot.

People are proud of their own things, and they never forget!

Candle night in the cave room. When the gold list was titled, a long drought coincided with sweet rain. Encountering old acquaintances in a foreign country, these four happy things, for the old man, there is no doubt that this second item is the most important, and he was admitted to Xiucai, of course, when he was named on the gold list.

Guy is a politically ambitious person, but he ignores the other three things, but the second is of special importance.

Because this is a stepping stone to a career and a crucial ladder of social status.

"I said old man, congratulations on your title on the gold list, famous all over the world, you must have been proud of the spring breeze at that time, and you think you will be able to show your skills soon, right?"

Although it was late, Qiao Zhi still sent his wishes.

"What do you wish! Who knows that this is already the last issue of Xiucai! In the end, this Xiucai's identity is useless, and the only function is to toss it out and recall the old things. ”

When the old man said this, his heart was full of melancholy.

"Hey, by the way, old man, I don't know if you're one of the last Xiucai, are there any other people alive?"

To be sure of the old man's age, at least there must be some circumstantial evidence or something, so Qiao Zhi worked harder, hoping to find more clues.

"Of course, Xiucai is not the champion, there are thousands of people, but I am the only one who has survived until now. ”

The old man said with loss and pride.

"Grandpa, how do you know that you are the only one, and you never leave this gloomy underworld. ”

Purple Smoke questioned his grandfather's coming.

"Haha, it's still the information that Yan'er gave me, I guess you forgot it!"

As he spoke, the old man took out a newspaper from the side pocket of his wheelchair, handed it to Qiao Zhi, and said, "You can read it yourself." ”

Joe came over and scanned the newspaper and knew what was going on.

It was a local newspaper in Shanghai, and there was a report on it that it was the last Xiucai in the late Qing Dynasty to take food, and that person was Su Juxian.

The old man lived to be one hundred and ten years old and died in 1991.

The above lists the life of the old man, one of which is that in 1906, he was admitted to the last department, which is Zitianxingnake.

Qiao read it straight and carefully returned it to the old man.

The old man took it and said: "I know that old man Su, I was the youngest that year, only sixteen years old, he is twenty-four years old, although not as old as Fan Jin, but he is also old, so the two of us became friends, although we did not meet later, I still paid attention to him, but he had no way of knowing my whereabouts, and the country did not know that there was still me in the late Qing Dynasty." ”

"I know, the last talent in this bright place, that is, the second in fact, because the first one is you, old man. ”

Qiao Zhi understood this relationship, and Ziyan also nodded.

It turns out that this old man is really living history!

Regardless of the extent of his involvement, he is a veteran of the Five Dynasties after all!

Because he experienced the five historical periods of the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, the Japanese puppet rule, the reactionary rule of the Kuomintang and the new China after the liberation.

"Old man, no, I should call you old lady! I admire you so much! Not to mention anything else, at your age of more than one hundred and twenty years, I can't help but let my juniors be in awe! I salute you!"

Joe stood upright, and with a snap, it was a standard military salute!

"Haha, you have a strong military background at first glance!"

It seems that the old man is very familiar with the military salute of the Chinese kingdom!

"You're willing to take over this time, aren't you?"

The old man struck while the iron was hot and pressed to mark people.

"I have two questions that I need you to answer for me: first, how did you come up with that big plan? Second, how did you get this way? After you answer these two questions, I'll reply to your proposal, right?"

Qiao Zhi finally asked the final question.
