12. The Collection of Sages (4)

Jiang Shuiyuan felt that Zhou Yuantong was a little overconfident.

According to Zhu Qingjia, the head teacher, when the children of the Jiangnan family began to study, they all used the "Outline of the Four Libraries of the Whole Book" as a stepping stone, and how could they not read basic historical books such as the First Four Histories and the "Zizhi Tongjian"? Moreover, the main generals who could be selected to participate in the competition in the province through guΓ² must be the best of the best. They have been under the influence of their fathers, brothers, and teachers since they were children, and it is possible that they can even read and recite by heart, how can they be compared with these people?

Cheng Daqi picked up the microphone again: "Let me roughly talk about the rules of the competition, first of all, each prefecture, state, and department will have a question, and it will be arranged according to the current seat, right? If the answers are the same, the one who submits the paper later will have to submit one and a half of the score of the person who submits the paper first; if the answers are not the same, the one who submits the paper first and is more appropriate can be given extra points at the discretion of the judge.

Secondly, the names of the people appearing in the couplets must be before the Qing Dynasty, and those who are alive after the Republic of China are not allowed to enter, and violators will be punished as fouls. In addition, if the name of the person answering is not a well-known person, the exact source must be given, and it is not allowed to prevaricate on the grounds of forgetting or remembering clearly, and the offender will be punished as a foul. Third, considering that there are participants from various prefectures and prefectures in Huaibei, and the names of the people are difficult to match, the level can be appropriately relaxed. However, those who meet the average requirements should have a higher score.

"Fourth, each question is worth 10 points, and those who foul, answer indiscriminately and fail to answer are all 0 points, and the rest will be scored by the two respected referees, Dean Ji and Professor Qiao. For example, if I come out with 'Li Baiyao', those who answer the famous professor 'Cheng Qianfan' of Liangjiang Normal University will get 0 points for fouls, those who answer 'Wang Shipeng' of the Southern Song Dynasty will get 7 points, those who answer 'Zhang Jiuling' will get 3 points, and those who answer 'Xu Sanwei' and 'Hu Sanxing' will get 2 points. Do you have any questions?"

"Yes!" Someone immediately raised his hand: "Look at what you mean, you Changzhou Mansion is also going to participate in the competition?

Cheng Daqi said with a smile: "Please rest assured, we only score points in the competition, and do not participate in the distribution of prizes!"

Jiang Shuiyuan also raised his hand: "What if a person thinks of more than one answer? For example, when I came out of Shanglian 'Yin Kaishan', someone immediately thought of the three brothers Yu Tonghai, Yu Tongyuan, and Yu Tongyuan in the early years of the Ming Dynasty, and they all wrote it out in one go, how to calculate the score?"

"Thisβ€”"

Cheng Daqi didn't seem to expect that someone would give multiple answers in a minute. Ji Xun interjected: "It's better to leave a way for others to live! Each person is limited to one name, and more is invalid." ”

At this time, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded: "What should I do if I get 0 points?

Jiang Shuiyuan felt that the voice was a little familiar, looked up, and found that the person was the guy he met when he went upstairs just now. The sign on the table in front of him reads "Songjiang Prefectural No. 2 Junior High School Han Ren".

"Fill the cool white open!" Zhou Yuantong shouted domineeringly.

"Okay! That's what you said!" Han Ren closed the folding fan in his hand.

"If the person who scores 0 points is punished for a full cup, if the questioner deliberately deviates from the topic to make things difficult for everyone, and he can't get it right, then punish him for drinking 4 cups alone!" Zhou Yuantong really knew how to learn and put it into practice, and immediately moved the rules of the morning game to the evening.

Jiang Shuiyuan was taken aback: Are you doing this to the rhythm of death? When I don't know the depth of the questioner, even if I turn over the "Thirteen Classics" and "Twenty-four History" and other tomes, I don't dare to be blindly optimistic, who gave you such a big courage? Could it be that you have read the past and the present, drowned in the literature and history, but you have hidden it deeply, or have we poured water into your head on the train this morning?

Han Ren sat up straight: "A gentleman's word!"

"Whip the horse!" Zhou Yuantong

"Okay!" "Happy!" "I think it's better to ask the waiter to prepare the trash can quickly, don't wait for someone to hold back, live broadcast!" Cheng Daqi and other representatives of other prefectures and prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River set up seedlings one after another.

Since there was no explicit objection, this agreement became a logical rule of the event. After answering a few more small questions, Cheng Daqi saw that everyone had no more doubts, so he announced loudly: "Since everyone has no doubts, then the activity will start now." After speaking, he waved his hand to the waiter behind him: "Pen, ink, paper, inkstone!"

Jiang Shuiyuan saw the brush rice paper and ink inkstone held by the waiter, and couldn't help but shout "bitter" in his heart!

Thousands of calculations, I didn't count the hairpin flower club activities to write with a brush. He has never touched a brush since he was in junior high school, and he has already returned the calligraphy he learned in elementary school to the teacher, and it is estimated that his writing is no better than that of a dog. Looking at other people holding the pen and paper, they looked comfortable, so they had to secretly cheer themselves up: peace of mind, peace of mind, the activity is more than the pair, not calligraphy, not in the way!

Seeing that everyone was holding a pen in their hands, Cheng Daqi quickly wrote a few words on the paper, and then showed it to everyone present: "Everyone, let me throw a brick first." The link I gave is 'Lu Man', please answer!"

Cheng Daqi's beautiful Wang Xi's travel book is really tactful and subtle, beautiful and healthy, and at a glance, I know that he has been immersed in the "Lanting Collection Preface" for a long time. However, Jiang Shuiyuan felt a strong malice from these three words! Because the original meaning of "Lu man" naturally refers to a man from the Lu country, but as a personal name, it refers to the uncle Yan of the Lu country in the Spring and Autumn Period. This allusion comes from the "Book of Poetry Mao Biography", from which the famous idiom "sit and do not mess" also comes, and later "Lu man" was also used to refer to people who refuse to approach women.

The three meanings of the word, how do you say it is right?

So someone immediately raised their hand: "Judge, this-"

Qiao Zhizhi shook his head and interrupted his questioning: "The question is no problem, it can indeed be used as a personal name, let's answer it quickly!"

Jiang Shuiyuan's brain teaser turned, and then he shook Suo Suo and wrote the answer on the paper, and was about to get up to submit the answer, when the waitress on the side was about eighteen or nineteen years old, took the paper from his hand with a smile, and trotted all the way to Ji Xun's hand. He took the opportunity to turn his head, wanting to see how Zhou Yuantong, who was proud to slaughter all walks of life in Jiangnan, answered well, but who happened to see Zhou Yuantong also handed the answer sheet to the waiter, and gave him a thumbs up at the moment. Zhou Yuantong praised in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, you are amazing!"

Jiang Shuiyuan was stunned: Could it be that he saw the answer I wrote?

Zhou Yuantong continued: "Look at the waiter who sent you the answer, cut the wire with a kitchen knife in his hand, and ran over to help you hand in the answer with sparks and lightning all the way! Look at the waiter who sent me the answer, Youzai Youzai was not in a hurry or slow, as if he was strolling in the court, and he didn't take me seriously at all. Tell me, why don't you have the same life? Why are you so attractive? Is it because I'm a little blacker, you're white?"

Jiang Shuiyuan shrugged: "Mom and Dad gave it, no way!"

A minute is fleeting. Whether it will be or not, the pressure of face and a glass of water is scribbled and handed in. Ji Xun and Qiao Zhizhi casually rummaged around, and they roughly knew each other's scores. Ji Xun picked up the stack of paper and read out: "'Doctor Mang' of Huai'an Mansion and 'Mrs. Xu' of Xuzhou Mansion get 8 points, 'Mrs. Qi' of Suzhou Mansion, 'Mrs. Qi' of Songjiang Mansion, 'Mrs. Tang' of Yangzhou Mansion, and 'Mrs. Qiao' of Jiangning Mansion get 1 point, and the others score 0 points." ”

Han Ren immediately raised his hand: "Two judges, there is a question below, why can 'Mrs. Xu' in Xuzhou Mansion get 8 points, and my 'Mrs. Qi' can only get 1 point?"

"It's a good thing to be humble and studious, but it's stupid to see the correct answer and not repent! Okay, you're 0 now, put your hands down!" Ji Xun, who has always been smiling, also has a stern time. Then he interpreted the meaning of "Lu Man" again, and then began to comment on everyone's answer: "Originally, the 'Mang Doctor' in Huai'an Mansion could get the highest score in the audience, because 'Mang Doctor' also has three meanings, one refers to the doctor of the New Mang Dynasty; when it is used as a personal name, it refers specifically to Yangxiong this person; and later it is also used as a metaphor for the renegade." Moreover, 'recklessness' and 'recklessness' are right, and 'doctor' and 'man' can barely match, which can be said to be the most suitable answer. Why didn't he get the highest score? Because the handwriting in Huai'an Mansion was so ugly that I couldn't tolerate it, so I couldn't help but deduct a few points from him!"

Saying that, he showed Jiang Shuiyuan's suffocating ink treasure to everyone, which made everyone laugh, and Jiang Shuiyuan's face was flushed.

Ji Xun shook his head while looking at Jiang Shuiyuan and said: "It is said that 'words are like people', and I used to believe in them very much, but now I am shaken! You say that you are a handsome young man, and your knowledge is so good, why are your words so stumbling? If it weren't for the fact that you were the first to hand in the papers, it is estimated that the number of copies given to you would be even lower!"

Jiang Shuiyuan glanced back at the waiter gratefully, and the waiter winked playfully at him.

Ji Xun picked up Zhou Yuantong's "Mrs. Xu" again: "When we see 'Mrs. Xu', the first thing that comes to mind is Mrs. Xu, and there are indeed many Mrs. Xu in history, such as Mrs. Wu in "Three Kingdoms", Mrs. Xu, the wife of Sun Yi of the Wu clan, etc. However, when 'Mrs. Xu' is used as a personal name, it refers to the famous swordsmith of the Warring States period, his surname is Xu, his name is Madame, he is a man, and he is famous for hiding sharp daggers. According to the "Warring States Policy" and "Historical Records-Biography of the Assassins", the dagger used by Jing Ke to assassinate the King of Qin was obtained from Lady Xu. Can the rest of you 'Mrs. Qi' and 'Mrs. Qi' be the same as this 'Mrs. Xu'? If it weren't for the fact that your words are so much better than Huai'an Mansion, you wouldn't even want to get a point, so you might as well drink water together!"

Zhou Yuantong felt the resentment in his chest disappear, rubbed his bulging stomach and shouted: "Everyone, you're welcome, drink water!"
