75. Chapter 75

The Guizi envoy waited at the post station for more than half a month before receiving a summons from the Great Chu Emperor Ji Xuanyuan, so he set up a banquet in the Mingzheng Palace to receive the Guizi envoy. In the main hall, there is no deliberate decoration, but it looks particularly solemn.

There were only more than ten envoys from Guizi, and when they entered the hall, they saw the Great Chu Emperor who was sitting in the first place, dressed in Gao Yi and Mingjie, who was only more than 20 years old, and he was very handsome.

There were a few concubines on both sides, followed by ministers, generals, and of course, among them were the scholars of this year's scientific expedition. There were also nearly 100 people sitting in a large hall.

The Guizi envoy stepped forward first, knelt down on one knee in front of the Great Chu Emperor, and was led by a young man, who looked no more than thirty years old, with a mouthful of white teeth that were very eye-catching, and his handsome appearance did not look like a Guizi person. He also spoke fluent Chinese, "The envoy of the Great Zi State, Hu Na has seen His Majesty, the Emperor of the Chu State. ”

The attitude is not humble or silent, but it is fine.

Before Ji Xuanyuan could speak, the turtle envoy took another step forward and said a word of turtle zi.

Ji Xuanyuan glanced sideways at the translator standing beside him, and the translator was also stunned, not knowing what to answer, Ji Xuanyuan frowned.

The young man laughed and said it in Guizi dialect and Chinese, "It turns out that Da Chu said that he was civilized in etiquette and music, and he didn't even have a decent interpreter of Dazi dialect. It seems that Da Chu doesn't seem to be tired of deceit, but he hasn't memorized all the words of your Confucius! ”

The coldness in Ji Xuanyuan's eyes became more and more intense, and he let the envoy of a small country step on his head, is it tolerable or unbearable?

"I'm afraid Prince Guizi is wrong. It's not that I don't understand, but I'm embarrassed to tell the prince that if the prince wants to sell the Analects in my Heavenly Dynasty, I'm afraid he will shoot himself in the foot, but it seems that the country of Guizi is really a barbarian land, and he can't even speak clearly. What Prince Guizi said, 'There are friends from afar, it's very happy', it seems that this should be what my Great Chu Dynasty should say to the seventh prince of your Guizi Kingdom! ”

The voice was clear and gentle, like a spring on a snow-capped mountain.

Everyone looked at the source of the voice, only to see that the girl raised her eyes slightly, a pair of clear and deep eyes, and the temperament of the whole body was like the fairy in the painting, standing far away from the world.

She's only a teenager!

An Sui stood quietly behind Ji Xuanyuan, as if she didn't care about repeating it again in Guizi dialect, she said it extremely standardly, not only the translators, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, but even the Guizi envoys standing under His Highness were also taken aback, they had never seen a person from the Chu Dynasty who could speak Guizi in a more standard and beautiful way than the native people of Guizi.

Ji Xuanyuan was stunned, but immediately reacted, and said to His Highness's Guizi envoy with a slight smile, "The seven princes of the Guizi Kingdom have all come to my Great Chu Heavenly Dynasty in person, it seems that I have underestimated the sincerity of the Guizi Kingdom. ”

Only then did everyone react, the seventh prince of the Guizi Kingdom, just Guizi still dared to send the prince to spy on my Chu State?

The seventh prince bowed lightly to Ji Xuanyuan, "The seventh prince of the Great Ziguo Kingdom will see the Great Chu Emperor." ”

Ji Xuanyuan smiled, "The prince is too polite. ”

Hu Na raised his eyes and looked at An Sui who was standing behind Ji Xuanyuan, "I have a few words I want to say to this girl." ”

Ji Xuanyuan turned his head sideways, nodded slightly at An Sui, An Sui bowed, stepped down from the high seat, and stood opposite Huna, "The prince might as well say it directly." ”

Hu Na said in Guizi words, "I am a great wisdom and a brave country, since you can understand my Dazi words, I will give you a question." ”

"Please!"

"Now twenty-three plates of brass are placed in front of you, ten of them face up, and the one who answers the question is a blind man, what must he do to divide the twenty-three plates into two piles with the same number of plates facing up?"

The interpreter above the main hall first translated this topic in Chinese.

An Sui smiled slightly.

Hu Na stretched out his hand slightly, "Please!" ”

The ministers and concubines above the hall looked at each other, and even Ji Xuanyuan frowned slightly, what kind of problem is this? The scholars also began to talk about it, and they believed that they had read the scriptures by heart, and they had never seen such a subject.

Hu Na looked at the girl in front of him, and said that a person's eyes do not deceive people, but he didn't seem to be able to see through what was hidden in her eyes. If a woman is stared at by a man, shouldn't she be shy or panicked?

An Sui met Hu Na's eyes directly, without any shyness, but faintly revealed a seductive momentum, and even Hu Na was a little empty.

Several ministers said, "This is a coincidence at all, how can there be any way to distinguish it." It's clear that this barbarian is cheating! ”

The corners of Huna's mouth hooked, "Nothing is impossible." It is said that there are many wise people in Da Chu, but a small question will stump you, it seems that the rumors are not credible! I heard that this column is sitting in all the champions of Da Chu's scientific examination this year, I don't know if you have any ideas? ”

"I think that the country of Guizi is really just a small family, and it will only be used but will not be flexible, and it is really an uncivilized barbarian land. This question is one of the three questions that my Lord An Yu Wen'an, the secretary of the Honglu Temple of Dachu, brought with him ten years ago when he visited the country of Guizi. However, I have been watching it for ten years, and Gui Ziguo has not been able to solve this problem, but wants to come to my Da Chu to get an answer. The prince had a good plan. ”

General An said this once in Chinese, and then again in Guizi dialect.

And the prince's opening words, 'It is a pleasure to have friends from afar', are also taken from the Analects translated by Lord An. It's a pity that the prince is not good at learning and doesn't even understand the basic Chinese grammar, so he wants to come to my big Chu Yaowu, and he is really arrogant. ”
