Chapter 460: A Momentary Problem
Without listening to Jiang Changan's answer, he turned around shyly, sat back in front of the desk with Ruoruo, and pushed all the desserts in front of her, "Eat? β
Jiang Changan was about to step forward, Xia Qi crossed the banquet and came to Jiang Changan, and said with a smile: "Jiang Changan, you are really more powerful than I imagined." β
"His Royal Highness King Ming has also changed from the image in my impression. Jiang Changan looked at the young man in front of him, his skin was dark, and he was completely different from the other pampered princes in the palace who were used to holding a golden spoon, and his whole body was full of vigor.
Xia Qidao: "But you make my sister very sad, so you know, I don't like you." β
Jiang Chang'an said: "Thanks to you not liking me, His Royal Highness King Ming should also know that I don't like men." β
Xia Qi was stunned for a moment, laughed loudly, and said, "I found out today that you are not so annoying." But these literati were all found by my father, and if you don't want to lose your practice in front of my sister, use your ingenuity to compare them to them. β
"Yes. Jiang Changan said confidently.
"You have so much confidence in your own brain?" Xia Qi asked.
Jiang Changan said with a smile: "It's not just the brains that have confidence, but also the fists, don't you say that those people are all literati who are powerless? Even if they can't compare to the brains, I still have the fists to beat all those people down!"
"This ......" Xia Qi suddenly found that some of the rules of this competition were too much, because this person would never think about any rules by inertia, would not be bound by the rules, jumped out of the law, not afraid of the strong, not afraid of the laid, just afraid of this kind of kitchen knife in hand.
Jiang Changan looked at the scribe in his thirties wearing a square scarf, as a scribe, but this person was more like a butcher's face, he was fat and strong, and his head was like a gourd scoop, since he entered the courtyard, this gourd scoop has not stopped, always dangling, as if thinking about something.
Jiang Changan was looking at the fat scribe, and the fat scribe was also looking at Jiang Changan, and he saluted, and said in a muffled voice: "Jingzhou Qi Sandou, Jiang Gongzi invited ......"
"Jiangzhou, Jiang Chang'an. Jiang Changan said with a smile, "As early as when I walked into the courtyard, I saw that everyone was stumped by Brother Qi's question, so please look at the question." β
Jiang Changan's face was as good as usual, and he was stunned by Xiao Ruoruo, and even the sweets in his hands paused, and his eyes stared at it without blinking.
The fat scribe smiled proudly, Wen Wuyou was noble and humble, although he was facing the princess's distinguished guest, he was resolute and not afraid to learn from genuine talents in his heart.
"Dare to ask Jiang Gongzi if he has ever had a couplet?"
"Learned. Jiang Changan smiled lightly.
"If you have learned, you know, since this is the case, Jiang Gongzi has to listen well, Fang is a pair that is coming out, and Jiang Gongzi needs to follow the upper and lower links in the lower ......"
The fat scribe said that his head shook involuntarily when he was excited, and said: "My upper link is: the white snake crosses the river, and there is a red sun on his head. β
Just such a pair stumped so many people? Jiang Changan wondered. Although he doesn't know Xia Qi's IQ, he is very clear about Xia Leling's ability to pair, why didn't he come out of it?
Jiang Changan was still thinking about it, Qi Sandou said excitedly: "Jiang Gongzi don't panic and want to play against the pair below, Gongzi heard clearly, this is not a simple pair, in the next link is to play an object, and the next link of Gongzi is also a mystery to play an object." β
No wonder......
Jiang Changan smiled indifferently, lightly picked up the tea on the table and tasted it carefully, as if he was thinking. It's no wonder that these people can't answer, they must first guess the mystery hidden in the upper link, so as to answer a riddle accordingly, and the two riddles need to be neatly tied, and even the riddle must fit the pun, which invisibly adds a lot of difficulty to this problem.
Everyone waited quietly for what kind of pair Jiang Changan would give, and most people couldn't even guess what they were talking about after the riddle of Shanglian?
Many people even hold a kind of mentality of watching jokes, waiting for this kid to make a fool of himself.
"What's the matter? Childe can have a link, if you can't even type this little question in the next one, Childe still needs to ask ......"
Syllable.
Place the cup lightly on the table.
"Oolong on the wall, wearing 10,000 points of Venus. β
Jiang Changan said lightly.
Everyone around was muttering: "The white snake crosses the river, and there is a red sun on its head." Oolong on the wall, wearing 10,000 points of Venus. It's neat, it's good!"
Qi Sandou's eyebrows furrowed, he really looked like a butcher: "Jiang Gongzi, you may not have heard it clearly, what you said below is clear, and the upper link below is a mystery, if Jiang Gongzi doesn't solve the riddle, it will be wrong!"
The scribes gathered in the crowd at the bottom speculated about the answer to this couplet.
In the noisy conversation, Jiang Changan smiled: "Green oil lamp ......"
In an instant, the scene fell silent again.
"The white snake refers to this wick, and it is the lamp oil that crosses the river, and the red sun on the top of the headβisn't it the flame! Yes!" everyone woke up from a dream and slapped their thighs and said.
Everyone's attention was on Jiang Chang'an's lower couplet again, pondering carefully, Qi Sandou couldn't think of a clue, his eyebrows twisted into a pimple, and he had to be unwilling to be embarrassed, and said: "Please also ask Jiang Gongzi to announce what is the mystery in the next couplet? Is it in harmony with the green oil lamp in the next one? Hmph, if there is no mystery in the mystery, even if you guess the upper link, it is useless!"
Jiang Changan smiled again and said: "A scale, the bottom of the mystery is a scale." β
Everyone suddenly realized: "Oolong on the wall, 10,000 points of Venus!" The upper link is a green oil lamp, the lower link is a scale, and even the riddle is extremely neat, it is really amazing!"
"You really answered!" I saw that Qi Sandou's face was flushed, and even the green tendons on his arms could be seen clearly, and he had the posture of going up and fighting.
Xia Qi leaned sideways and approached Xia Leling, and whispered: "Sister, this Jiang Chang'an does have a bit of spiritual wisdom......
Xia Leling's eyebrows were relaxed, and Wan Er smiled, like a stone thrown into the pond, with joyful ripples on her face.
At this time, Jiang Changan suddenly smiled and said: "Brother Qi, there is also a question below, I hope Mr. can give me one or two." β
"Don't dare to advise, son, please speak. Qi Sandou didn't dare to underestimate the other party anymore, and when he heard Jiang Changan say that there was a question, he suddenly stood firm, like a great enemy!
"Brother Qi doesn't need to be so nervous, it's just a simple arithmetic problem. β
Jiang Changan said with a smile: "There is a competition of the alchemy conference, a total of five hundred and twelve disciples participated, two by two duel elimination system, the first round of competition, two hundred and fifty-six competitions, eliminated half of the number, the second round of one hundred and twenty-eight competitions, and eliminated half of the people, and so on, until the last two people are left in the finals, the question is, how many competitions do these five hundred and twelve disciples need to hold to determine the first place in the end?"
"This ......" The fat scribe asked instantly, not to mention him, even the others had already heard it confused, five hundred and twelve disciples decided that there was only one person left, according to Jiang Chang'an's words, there were two hundred and fifty-six games in the first round of competitions, and one hundred and twenty-eight games in the second round, so if you count it, you can get the final result by adding up all the games, but in this era, it is already a martial arts light literature, how many people can have such mental arithmetic ability?
Many people get dizzy before the problem is calculated.
Xia Leling, who was behind the bead curtain, lowered his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and smiled, he always had these strange questions, the last time Li Bai took the wine, the problem of Li Bai taking wine had never been calculated, and this time there was such a troublesome question, and he said softly: "Qingzhu, take a pen and paper to ......"
Jiang Changan's problem is not difficult, and anyone who knows a little bit of algorithms can solve it, but the process is extremely cumbersome, as long as there is enough time, it can be solved.
The fat scribe smiled and said: "If there is an abacus, I may be able to solve this answer in the abacus, but now, there is only half a pillar of incense, and it is really impossible to solve it in the next place." β
Jiang Changan said with a smile: "It can't be used for half a pillar of incense, it only takes a moment to figure out this problem." β
