Chapter 35: Passing the Three Levels of Intelligence (Part II)

The merchant took a piece of muffin from the celadon plate on the desk and looked at it carefully at his fingertips, as if he wanted to see what this muffin was made of, but the corner of his eyes swept over everyone's faces with different expressions, and he couldn't help sneering in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I don't know what Young Master Yu Chi wants to discuss with Mama Yun?" Putting the muffin cake on his fingertips back into the plate, Shang Shang clapped his hands, his clear eyes were facing the captain's somewhat playful eyes, and he subconsciously felt that this person might not have any malicious intent.

"Of course, it has a lot to do with the merchant girl!" Wei Chi said this ominous sentence lazily, but in the corner of his eye, he saw that Li Ke's hand on his lap was instantly tightened, which was very interesting, and continued: "Don't hide it from the girl, when I see the girl in the next time, I feel that the soul is about to be taken away by the girl, I really like it tightly, this day is better than hitting the day, if the merchant girl does not object, I want to discuss the matter of combing with the grandmother, I don't know what the merchant girl thinks?" ”

"Wei Chi, you have said what my old Cheng is going to say, this merchant girl is so beautiful, how can you let yourself swallow it alone? Why won't I let Lao Cheng let me? Cheng Huaimo on the side had a dark face, as if he didn't understand what Wei Chi wanted to do, but he was straightforward, and he liked the beauty of businessmen, so how could he be willing to let people easily?

"The two sons are really flattering to the merchants!" The merchant covered his sleeves and chuckled, threw a glance over, and was not surprised to see the two of them look at each other, "Originally, it was also appropriate to discuss with Mama, but when the merchant was sold here, he swore a heavy oath that he would entrust the merchant with a great husband who is both civil and military, and has unparalleled wisdom, how can he violate his oath now?" ”

"What the merchant girl means is that we are not real men anymore?" Li Ke opened his mouth lightly, a glimmer of light flashed in his upturned eyes, and his clenched hand loosened again, it seems that she is a smart woman!

"The three princes are serious, but the businessmen have set up three levels of wisdom that day, and those who have passed these three levels can enter my Linfeng small building, and Mama also knows about this!" The merchant picked up the wine jug on the table, got up and walked up to Li Ke's seat, and filled the cup on his table with wine.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Li Qingyu, the Luoyang Mansion Zun on the side, looked at the merchant with a surprised face, if this is the case, then he is not hopeless? Originally, it was still in the way of the high position of the three princes, so it was not good to make the first move, but if you have to pass the three levels, you can't say, as the respect of a house, you are not a person who has no talent, maybe you can make yourself the first place!

"Pass three levels? Interesting? I don't know what the three levels of businessmen and businessmen are? Wei Chi picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, his fair face slightly reddened.

"What else? It must be some literati's sour words, my old Cheng is not used to this, the merchant girl is deliberately bullying my old Cheng, right? If you look down on me as a rough person, you can clearly say that my old Cheng is not a person who has no stomach. Cheng Huaimo's big black face was dissatisfied, he was a martial artist, and no one in his family loved writing kung fu, so he was very dissatisfied with Shangshang's request.

"Where did Cheng Gongzi come from? Wenchen and military generals are all pillars of the country, and businessmen are just singers, so how dare they despise them? Ladies and gentlemen? The merchant wiped the corners of his eyes, made a pear blossom with rain, and complained: "The merchant was also a good man's son and daughter, and his mother's words are still in his ears, but my father made a big mistake, so I fell here, and I felt humiliated. ”

The merchant looked poignant, causing everyone present to roll their eyes at Cheng Huaimo, and he scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "I don't mean that, it's just that I don't usually like to read, if the girl comes up with an essay question, then won't my old Cheng suffer?" ”

Seeing his straightforward appearance, Shang Shang couldn't help but smile: "I am a dynasty that attaches great importance to martial arts, and martial arts are still flourishing, and my emperor is martial arts, and I am the power of the Tang Dynasty, how can I take some sour things to embarrass Cheng Gongzi?" My three levels are all about wisdom, but they don't have much to do with learning, so can Cheng Gongzi still be satisfied? ”

Cheng Huaimo saw her laughing, and couldn't help but look stupid, blushing and said: "That's the best, that's the best!" ”

Yu Chiying couldn't help but roll his eyes when he saw Cheng Huaimo's face and his unyielding look.

"I don't know what three levels the merchant girl has set up? This king would like to hear about it. Li Ke looked straight into the eyes of the businessman, pinched a cup in his hand and played with it gently, revealing a wanton feeling.

"Yes! Oh, yes! Merchant girl, just say it! Several wealthy businessmen in Luoyang on the first side echoed one after another, and they all wanted to hear what three levels this businessman girl had set up, even if she couldn't answer it now, she could ask someone to help, right? What if it comes out one day?

"Then listen up, adults!" The merchant put down the flask in his hand and walked into the middle of the field.

"Say: One day, the praying mantis invited the centipede and the gecko to the house, and when he was cooking, he found that there was no salt, and the centipede volunteered to go out to buy it, but he didn't know it for a long time, what happened?"

"What's the problem?" Wei Chi looked at Shang Shang blankly, originally thought that she would have some major events in the DPRK and China, or poetry or something, but he didn't expect it to be such a question, does this kind of question still need to be answered?

"I know, I must not have brought copper coins!" Cheng Huaimo smiled and answered first, this question is really simple, the businesswoman is really a kind person, if you can't say those crepes, you really haven't come out!

Shang Shang smiled on his face, but shook his head slightly, and looked at the rest of the people, this kind of brain teaser that was popular in later generations she likes to play the most, but when she meets these Tang Dynasty people, she is afraid that these people's rigid thinking will be challenged!

"Then ------ must be that the nearby store has no salt to sell, and it is far away, so you haven't returned, right?" Several businessmen are aspiring to be together, and they are really talking about business.

The merchant covered his sleeves and smiled, but still shook his head.

When Li Ke heard this question, he was also stunned, this is a very simple question, but the businessman proposed it here, it must be very mysterious, but it is a pity that he can't think of the mystery in it with his ability.

Several people said several answers in succession, but the merchant just shook his head, but the smile in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Li Ke looked at the smile in the eyes of the businessman, his heart throbbed, and when he saw her smiling and smiling, he only felt that the whole room was bright, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Wei Chi was not happy, and complained: "This is not right, that is not right, how can such a simple question be so complicated?" The merchant girl isn't making fun of us, is she? ”

"Is Wei Chi Gongzi unconvinced?" Shang Shang looked at Wei Chi with an indignant face, and couldn't help but laugh, this person! How can you still act like a child?

"That's it! If I don't give an answer, I'm afraid that all adults won't be convinced, but if I say it, my three levels will be one less question, and I will have to think about another question, alas! For the sake of all of you, let's make an exception! The merchant looked at the few people in the room with a sad face, and sighed again.

"Please give me advice!" Li Ke raised the wine glass in his hand and saluted.

"That's the answer! It's simple, this centipede hasn't returned for a long time, just because he's still wearing shoes outside the door! The merchant said the answer coldly, looking reluctant.

"Poof! Burst! Burst! Three times in a row, Li Ke, Wei Chi, and Cheng Huaimo, who were sitting on the top seat, were holding a glass of wine, but they didn't want to listen to such an answer, and they squirted out all the wine in their mouths at once, Li Qingyu and others were also crying and laughing, where would a few people think that it would be such an answer, but after thinking about it, they can't say that it's wrong, centipedes have many feet, and it is natural to wear more shoes.

Wei Chi said with a bitter face: "Merchant girl, your three levels won't all be these questions, right?" ”

"Yu Chi Gongzi is wise! The little girl has nothing to learn, only these gadgets can make people laugh, so she took it out and did three levels, but don't look at this little topic, ordinary people will never think of this answer, can come up with it, it is the person who is destined by my businessmen, and the businessmen should be swept away! Shang Shang smiled gently, his eyebrows shining.

"The merchant girl is really good at learning! Such a tricky question is still only seen in the life of this king, no matter what, today's businessman girl simply said the question of the three passes, and also allowed this king to go back to the good life to refer to it, perhaps, one day I can be the guest of the Shangshang girl! Li Ke pulled a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the wine stains on his lips, and his thin angular lips were bright red.

"That's it, girl, your question is so weird, let me go back and ask for advice!" Cheng Huaimo pulled his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and shouted loudly with Li Ke on the side.

"It'------ okay! It's just that the answer to that question has already been told to you, but now this question has to be filled in again, and it is still made into three levels, so you adults should refer to it carefully! The businessman's eyes were like silk, but he secretly said in his heart: Look at me if I don't kill you!

"That's the first question! It was originally the second question, so listen up, everyone! The merchant swept his sideburns with a smile in his clear voice.

"What word does everyone get wrong?" The merchant simply said a question.

Li Ke glanced at the people in the house, and saw that everyone didn't understand, so he didn't speak, just stared at the merchant, looking at her a little proud, and a faint joy passed in his heart, like the moonlight outside the house, shining silver on the ground.

"Do you understand?" The merchant looked around at everyone and asked, and everyone nodded hurriedly.

"Question 2: What can you do, I can do, everyone can do it, one person can do it, but two people can't do it together?" Shang Shang said this topic very quickly, to be honest, she is not very sure of this question, maybe some smart people can think of it if they think about it carefully, but the key is not the first two, but the last one.

"Merchant girl, can you speak more slowly? I can't remember! Cheng Huaimo shouted with a bitter face on the side!

"It's okay, Cheng Gongzi and listen, later, I will ask Green Sleeves to write this inscription on paper and hand it over to Gongzi to take home."

The merchant waved his hand and said her question.

"This third question is a bit troublesome, so let's take a look at it!" The merchant beckoned to Greensleeves, whispered a few words to her, and Greensleeves took the order.

Li Ke and the others looked curious, and they all wanted to know what was going on with the trouble that the merchant was talking about.

After a while, Green Sleeves entered the house with a roll of paper, and the merchant walked over and pulled the paper open, only to see that there was only one sentence written on the long paper: The sea is facing the morning and the sea is falling.

Everyone looked at Shang Shang blankly, not understanding what she meant. The merchant motioned for Green Sleeves to hold the paper in his hand for everyone to see.

"This is a couplet when the businessman has nothing to do, this is the upper couplet, if there is any one here, answer my two questions, out of my couplet, my businessman will personally open the door to welcome guests! Serve your lord willingly! Shang Shang looked at everyone with a deep look on his face, and secretly sneered in his heart, this couplet, people with slightly poor writing skills, I am afraid that I can't understand it, which of these people here is really knowledgeable!

In the Tang Dynasty, the couplet had not yet reached its heyday, and this sentence was a famous couplet, don't say that she bullied the Tang Dynasty, this is what she wanted!

The merchant said, "All the adults here, who wants to know the answer?" ”

Everyone: "We all want to know!" ”

The merchant smiled and said, "Then take the ticket!" Hey, hey, hey! ”
