Chapter 781: Nine Rings
Li Yan'er heard it, didn't she, when did that bad guy suffer a loss, and besides, with his ability, how could a Shen Gongzi be his opponent, and when he understood this, he immediately relieved himself, spat out, and said with a red face: "What my sister said is that this bad guy has never disappointed?"
"Isn't itβ?" the eldest lady smiled.
Offstage, Yang Shiqi was silent, it was extremely unreasonable to say that Shen Gongzi's words were unreasonable, but if it was reasonable, it did make some sense, this was like being a magistrate, you need to avoid your hometown, and your family must stay in your hometown, this is the rule, and you are a little unfair to come out of this test question as a close minister of the prince?"
Li Zhuo glanced at Yang Zheng in embarrassment, and he didn't know whether he should say his words.
"Master Li, do you have something to say?" Yang Zheng glanced at Li Zhuo and asked.
Li Zhuo nodded, stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, Weichen thinks that His Highness's reputation is important, so?"
Although Li Zhuo's words were half over, Yang Zheng understood that his current identity was the prince, and the prince used his close ministers to ask questions, even though there was no water in it, but the people who watched it didn't know what to think, I was afraid that Yang Shiqi had already decided that Yang Shiqi had told him the answer in the morning, and deliberately waited until the last game to disrupt the situation. The infamy of occupying the woman of the good family by despicable means is about to spread in Jiangnan, and the reputation is already a passing thing for him, a descendant of the Peng family, if he is not brought, he will not be taken away in death, and it doesn't matter if he is scolded a few times, but now that he is facing the face of the prince, he has to have some scruples, and after a little thought, he nodded and said: "Shen Gongzi's words are not unreasonable, just try another game according to Shen Gongzi's words?"
Shen Gongzi thought that the other party was the crown prince, with a noble status, and he would not agree to such nonsense, so he was about to make a sarcasm, but the acquaintance unexpectedly agreed, and he was slightly stunned, and he forgot what he said for a while.
Li Zhuo applauded and smiled: "It's rare for His Highness to understand the righteousness so well, it's really my blessing to the Ming Dynasty?"
"My day, this is a deep understanding of righteousness, if Lao Tzu doesn't agree, tomorrow I'm afraid that he will be a powerful prince who oppresses people with his identity?" Yang Zheng snorted coldly, and he was extremely contemptuous of Li Zhuo's words.
Li Zhuo saw that the prince's face was not good-looking, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he stepped aside and said, "I don't know the test questions for this competition?"
Yang Zheng glanced at Shen Gongzi and said: "This is easy to say, Shen Gongzi likes fairness, so he will give him a thorough fairness, how about me and Shen Gongzi have their own questions in today's competition?" After speaking, he looked at Shen Gongzi provocatively, for such a shameless character, he really didn't have a good face.
Shen Gongzi was a little scared, but when he retreated at this time, he would inevitably be looked down upon, gritted his teeth and met Yang Zheng's knife-like gaze, and said with a straight chest: "So the best?"
Everyone on the field was already a little unsatisfied, and at this time, seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, they were overjoyed, and they stretched their necks to make a wait-and-see look.
Yang Shiqi saw that Yang Zheng's face was not good-looking, and said in his heart: "Things that can make Brother Yang angry are rare, it seems that some of them will look good for a while?"
Yang Zheng shook the paper fan lightly, although his face was a little unrecognizable, but the anger in his eyes was real, he glanced at Shen Gongzi and said, "Who will come first?"
"Shall I come first?" Shen Gongzi gritted his teeth and said, Yang Zheng's talent made him a little worried, for fear that the other party would come up with a strange topic, if he was led by his nose, it would be better to start first.
"Okay, if you come first, you will come first?" Yang Zheng put away the paper fan and said loudly.
Everyone shouted, and the small attic was bustling.
Li Yan'er glanced at Yang Zheng with some concern, and said softly: "Sister, do you say that bad people can handle it?"
The eldest lady said: "You haven't seen the weird skills of that bad guy, Shen Gongzi reads poetry and books on weekdays, and he may have some talents, but he may not be his opponent, so you can rest assured?"
Li Yan'er nodded heavily and said, "Sister is right, am I too worried?"
"You, aren't you too worried, do you care too much about this bad guy?" The eldest lady joked and stepped forward, at this time, the eldest lady had a slender jade neck, a tall figure, and a jet-black green silk was coiled high, and only a hosta was pinned together, reflecting her snow-white neck, like a noble white swan standing beside Li Yan'er.
It's a pity that no one in the audience appreciated such a beautiful picture, even Yang Zheng didn't take a look up. Shen Gongzi made up his mind to strike first, so he decided to come up with a problem that stumped everyone, only in this way could he save face and win the first level.
After making up his mind, he frowned and thought hard, he was good at poetry, and he was going to make a poem or couplet, lantern riddle and other topics, but after seeing Yang Zheng's poetry and lantern riddles, he decisively gave up poetry and songs.
Yang Zheng waited for a while, and when he saw that Shen Gongzi had not moved, he couldn't help but say, "Shen Gongzi has a topic?"
The crowd also said impatiently: "Shen Gongzi, you should be faster, if you can't come up with the question, you should admit defeat quickly?"
Shen Gongzi's face was red and white for a while, but he was finally thick-skinned, and the words of others pretended not to be heard, but he was still thinking hard.
"What kind of topic do you want to think of?" Shen Gongzi muttered a few words, and his brows furrowed into a deep Sichuan character.
When everyone looked at him, they couldn't say anything.
"Does this kid really have some perseverance?" Yang Zheng shook his head and said.
Shen Gongzi thought hard and couldn't get it, and was trying to make a lantern riddle to embarrass him, but at this moment, he heard the sound of "clang" on the field, and he didn't know that the jade bracelet in the girl's hand fell from his hand and was shattered, and the crisp sound shocked everyone to look up.
Shen Gongzi, who was thinking hard, just touched the shattered jade bracelet with his eyes, and his eyes suddenly turned on his face, and he exclaimed: "Yes, how did I forget it!"
Yang Zheng had been observing Shen Gongzi's expression, and when he saw him frowning widely, his expression was joyful, he frowned slightly, and said in his heart: "It seems that this guy has come up with a problem!"
Shen Gongzi's frowning brows slowly relaxed, and a rare smile welled up on his pale face, he glanced at Yang Zheng, and became more and more proud, he believed that as soon as his question came out, Yang Zheng would definitely not be able to answer it, because since he was a child, he had never seen anyone answer.
But he forgot about it, and no one answered, perhaps because the person who answered hadn't shown up yet.
"Shen Gongzi has a topic?" Shen Gongzi's expression, Li Zhuo had already seen it in his eyes, and asked tentatively.
Shen Gongzi nodded, hugged his fists at Li Zhuo and said, "Yes, my lord, the student has a topic?"
As soon as everyone heard the question, they quieted down very cooperatively, and everyone looked at Shen Gongzi who was smiling.
"Is this guy really a?" Yang Zheng scolded angrily.
"Sister, what kind of topic do you think it will be, will it be difficult?" Li Yan'er asked worriedly.
The eldest lady sighed lightly and said, "This Shen Gongzi intends to make things difficult for the bad guys, I'm afraid this topic can't be simple?"
Li Yan'er's face darkened, and she suddenly said in a deep voice: "Even if he can't answer, I won't marry Shen Gongzi?"
The eldest lady looked at Li Yan'er's resoluteness, she didn't know what she thought, and sighed lightly.
"Shen Gongzi has a topic, please hurry up?" Li Zhuo said.
Shen Gongzi answered: "Student, this is coming?" After speaking, he glanced at Yang Zheng and continued: "The question of the student is to ask His Highness to dismantle the Nine Links?"
"Huh?"
As soon as Shen Gongzi's words fell, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed: "Solve the Nine Links?"
"Can you untie it?" muttered another.
"I've heard that someone has made a Nine Rings?" echoed someone in the crowd.
Shen Gongzi's face was full of pride, he had to be proud, such a nine-link that almost no one could solve, he believed that even the crown prince of the dynasty could not solve it, and he won this game.
"Shen Gongzi-?" Li Zhuo was a little angry, although he said that he had his own questions, but with the theme of the Nine Chains, it would be a bit of a scoundrel, as the first son of Hangzhou, he actually played this kind of scoundrel, and the means inevitably made people look down on him.
Yang Zheng knows that this kind of difficult game is a kind of intellectual toy of the Han folk in Shanxi Province. It is connected in a string with nine rings to unravel. According to the Ming Dynasty Yang Shen's "Dan Lead General Record", jade was used as a material to make two interpenetrating rings, "the two rings penetrate each other into one, get their pass, solve them into two, and merge into one." Later, copper or iron was used instead of jade to become a toy for women and children. It has a history of almost 2,000 years in China, and Zhuo Wenjun wrote to Sima Xiangru that "mentioned the nine rings: the lyre is played without intention, the eight-line book cannot be transmitted, the nine links are broken from it, and the ten-mile long pavilion is eager to penetrate; a hundred thoughts, a thousand nostalgia, and all kinds of helplessness to complain about Lang...... The invention of this kind of test of human intelligence and patience is attributed to Zhuge Liang during the Three Kingdoms period.
Back then, Zhuge Liang often led troops to fight, and invented to relieve his wife's loneliness. It was popularized in the Ming Dynasty, and in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was even more widespread. In the Qing Dynasty, from the scholars to the peddlers and pawns, everyone loved to play the "Nine Rings", which was a very troublesome game among the people, if it weren't for Yang Zheng coming to this era from his previous life, today's Shen Gongzi's plan might succeed.
"It's okay, it's rare that Shen Gongzi has come up with a deep question, I haven't played this kind of game for a long time, so it's okay to play it today?" Yang Zheng interrupted Li Zhuo's reprimand with a smile.
