Chapter 192: A Conversation Between Father and Son

With a thick artificial bangs, Ye Nuan walked in the crowd of people, and his right hand always unconsciously touched the corners of his eyes. I saw that her originally dark and clear eyes suddenly changed a color, dark green like a cat's eye, like a deep pool of blue shadows when she was still steady, shining into the tip of people's hearts, even the soul was still, and when the waves rose, it was constantly rippling and constantly provoking people's heartstrings. The original pair of big eyes became slender and long, and the tips of the eyes were openly picked towards the sideburns, which was a little more classical and luxurious, and the mist rose, and it was even more dense. The obvious European facial features are the result of being adjusted and modified by modern cosmetics, not to mention her long black hair, which is like seaweed, has long been dyed a lingering burgundy red.

This is Song Ya's image after redesigning Ye Nuan before going out, although she retains her original foundation, but after makeup, she is far from Ye Nuan's before, and she is not a person who is familiar with Ye Nuan, and it is estimated that she will not recognize it.

After all, they are going out, Song Ya, the well-known mother of a country, needless to say, even Ye Nuan herself is a public figure, some time ago the empire became popular but disappeared in front of everyone's eyes, and it also caused many people to speculate, if she appeared at the competition scene with her own appearance, the result needless to say, even if the royal work is airtight, it is inevitable that there will be traces leaked out, which they don't want.

Ye Nuan thought that the disguise technique he inherited from the snake lady was a must-have for going out to practice, but he never expected that the original human makeup technique was comparable to magic, and after several modifications of various powders, the whole person changed, although there was no disguise technique quickly and thoroughly, but it was also impatient. Sure enough, the wisdom of the working people is endless, and the ancients did not deceive me. Ye Nuan thought so.

The face has changed, and the clothes are covered with special materials that isolate pheromones. Ye Nuan put down his hand, just like the passers-by and candidates next to him, his face was dyed with a surprised color, and he naturally blended into the crowd.

Song Ya's identity is quite special, and now she is having a routine entertainment with the group of big people at the organizer, in fact, she didn't have to be false and wronged with those people, but Ye Nuan is here for the exam this time, if she stays aside, it is always bad to be discovered by someone with a heart. The disclosure of his identity is secondary, and it will not be good if it affects Ye Nuan's results. She doesn't exclude providing convenience for her favorite juniors, but she doesn't like juniors to take shortcuts through her, fortunately, Ye Nuan is not that kind of person, she just wants to get results with her own efforts. Song Ya naturally followed Ye Nuan's intentions and temporarily separated from her. Of course, Song Ya is gone, it doesn't mean that Ye Nuan is alone, there are countless plainclothes bodyguards around Ye Nuan to follow her. Near or far.

The holding of the ancient culture competition is not grand, and a large and medium-sized garden has been packaged, and a number of competition areas have been divided for candidates and visitors to watch according to the different competition items. As a matter of fact. Song Ya's explanation is not complete, there are indeed three items in the ancient culture competition, but the ancient culture of the whole empire is not only the Chinese nation. It also includes the other three major civilizations that were once there, as well as the regional cultures that developed later. It really has to be completely divided. Absolutely dazzling. Of course, this is exactly what happened.

Look at the crowded arena. Ye Nuan sighed secretly in her heart, she originally thought that there would be no more population explosion in the world after a thousand years, but she didn't expect that in this arena, she would be able to experience the sea of people in her previous life again. Don't look at the venue, it's not small, but it can't stand a lot of people. It is crowded with people, densely packed, and it is difficult to see the end from a distance.

There were both contestants and tourists, and it was a national event.

Ye Nuan never knew that ancient culture was so popular in this era, and when she heard Song Ya say that the purpose of the competition was to promote and popularize ancient civilization, she thought that the history of the past had been ignored, and now it seems that she wanted to go wrong.

Fortunately, although there are many people here, everyone maintains a relatively quiet posture, and even if they have to speak, they suppress their whispers in their voices. There is no other reason, the people in the stadium are still playing, and they are not to be disturbed. This is an open-air competition, which is completely different from Ye Nuan's closed and conservative examination method in the previous life, but it makes her feel a little fresh in her heart.

"Abba, there are so many things on the table, can the brothers and sisters inside read it?"

Just as Ye Nuan was looking around curiously, a childish child's voice came from not far away, and he turned his head to look, it was a pair of Huaxia father and son who were watching the game. The child is only 4 or 5 years old, with big and round eyes, curled eyelashes, red lips and white teeth, and the whole person is white and pure like a boy in a New Year's painting, and the young man in his arms looks only in his twenties, and it is estimated that he is in his forties when he is in this era.

The young man who heard the question of his son in his arms looked down at his soft and cute group, and said with a smile, "Because it's a competition, the brothers and sisters in it have to find out what is different, and then tell the examiner what it is, find the right one, and say it right, then they can smoothly enter the next round of the competition." ”

The competition of ancient culture is also divided into levels, not that you can pass smoothly and fight with others at one time. Even though there are only three events in total, each event is subdivided into primary, intermediate and final. Because of the different categories, the difference from the competition format of a thousand years ago is that this ancient culture competition has two champions in each event, but the youth group can challenge the senior group, and if he wins, then he is the reset champion, and vice versa.

"Different? Is it a big difference? But I looked at the things on the table so strange, Xiaota had never seen them. The child added, with a bit of loss on his face, as he didn't recognize the things on the table, feeling like a failed alpha.

Looking at his son's pitiful appearance, the young man burst out laughing, "It's okay, Xiaota is still young, and he will know those things inside when he grows up." But if you look closely at the things on the table, you really don't recognize them at all? ”

Ye Nuan originally only thought that this was a pair of affectionate father and son watching the game in the field, and chatted for a while, but when she heard the man's last words, she suddenly felt a little inquisitive about the father and son in her heart, so she didn't continue to move forward. Instead, he stood a short distance from them, quietly listening to the follow-up.

Really. The father and son did not disappoint Ye Nuan, only to see Xiao Zhengtai, who was held in the arms of the man, probing into the field again. After occupying the best field of view, the eyes slowly began to scan the contents of the table, like an X-ray. It didn't take long for the child to suddenly cry out in surprise, "Abba! ”

"What's the matter, Xiaota, did you find something?" The man put his right index finger in front of his mouth, made a silent gesture, and said.

The danzi-like child immediately covered his mouth, but his face was full of surprise and excitement, and his face was smeared with a few inches of glow. Ye Nuan saw him excitedly leaning into his father's ear. Suppressed his voice, he said, "It's grandpa's box, Abba, am I right?" ”

Although his words were still questioning, the expression on his face was full of affirmation, an expression of invitation.

Hearing this, the man pinched his son's cute little face, nodded and said, "Yes, it's grandpa's box." Little Tower is so smart. So you tell Abba, what is Grandpa's box used for? ”

"Put the little stones! It's the kind of round and flat stone. ”

The child's voice is sweet and soft, and it sounds like the heart is about to sprout, and he gestures while talking. It's very cute. But as he spoke, his face wrinkled as if he had thought of something, "The stone is bad." ”

"Huh."

The man couldn't help but laugh. Nodded the child's nose and said. "Who told you to get rid of one of the things that Grandpa put in the box, and replace it with Abba who got it. Grandpa probably beat me out of bed. ”

Speaking of this, the man paused and explained, "Also, the thing inside is not a stone, it is called a chess piece, a chess piece of Go." Go is an entertainment competition created by our ancestors, divided into two colors of chess pieces, one black and one white, two sides of the game, can exercise our thinking, hone our will. ”

The man's voice was very quiet, and although no one around was shouting loudly, it was not so much that the needle could not be heard, so it was almost impossible for others to hear the conversation between him and the child, except for Ye Nuan.

Hearing the man's words, Ye Nuan took the opportunity to look over, and found the thing that the father and son said in a row of strange things in the cordon.

In fact, most of the boxes in which the chess pieces are placed are square utensils woven from bamboo, also known as chess pieces. Ordinary people's chess games are mostly woven with coarse strips, and some of them will use clamped tires, painted with lacquer, and lined with silk for the inside. But the chess piece on the field was very inconspicuous, no, to be precise, it was too ugly, and its whole body was black, as if it had not been washed for a long time, and its face was covered with black and sticky dirt.

Because of its so ordinary appearance, the contestants were distracted by the various colors and shapes around them, and no one noticed it at all, even the onlookers, who were mostly discussing the things that were made with a bit of delicacy and brilliant colors. Only this father and son found it in a pile of strange things, and if Ye Nuan didn't pay a little attention, he would ignore this thing. It seems that the father and son not far from her still have some foundation, especially the father.

In Ye Nuan's opinion, there are not many antiquities worth picking out in the examination room in front of her, and her so-called antiquities do not refer to antiques, but objects with a year. After all, if they were really rare, those experts and scholars would not put them on the table so casually, asking candidates to observe and study, and the consequences of accidentally damaging the things would be unimaginable. However, she does not mean that antiquities are worthless, perhaps the cost of those antiquities is not expensive, and some are even available everywhere, but they are habitually ignored, but behind these old objects there is a rich cultural and historical connotation, with unusual symbolic meaning. The chess piece mentioned by the father and son is a representative of this, although it is not common, but the meaning is long.

The whole body of the chess piece is made of a kind of rattan linen, and the texture is tight and fitting, which is the only thing worth praising about it, and the master who made it has good craftsmanship. However, Ye Nuan believes that chess will not be so simple, and the dialogue between father and son will not end here.

Just as Ye Nuan was about to continue watching the follow-up of the matter, Song Ya sent a message asking Ye Nuan if he had any projects he had thought about participating. Ye Nuan directly chose the first one, antiquities identification, which is the competition area where she is now.

So in less than half a minute, Song Ya sent Ye Nuan her candidate card, as long as she wanted, she could enter the competition now.

Ye Nuan just raised his head to look at the location where the father and son were before, but saw that it had long been replaced by other people, and the father and son had disappeared, Ye Nuan suddenly felt a strange loss in his heart, which was not strong, just like a dark cloud suddenly floating overhead, but it did not interfere with the walking people, but when he saw it, his mood fluctuated a little.

Ye Nuan thought about it, simply swiped his candidate card, and walked into the competition area in front of him.

Without the slightest hesitation, after Ye Nuan entered the arena, he walked straight to the place where the chess game was, the corner that was ignored. picked up the small square box, slightly dull, so she opened the lid of the box easily, and when she saw the contents inside, Ye Nuan's eyes flashed, and the corners of her mouth hung a little bit of interest, and then picked it up and walked to the examiner who was guarding the field.

"Teacher, I choose to identify this thing."

Raising the chess piece in his hand, Ye Nuan said.

The examiner guarding the room glanced at what Ye Nuan was holding, and read in a tone without fluctuation, "The number XL1874 has been selected, please go to the B examination room for identification." ”

Ye Nuan nodded slightly at the man and thanked him, and then entered the B examination room according to the prompts he gave.

The people in the B examination room said that there were many people, and there were many people who said less, plus the examiners at the front, there were about 30 people. But this is not what surprised Ye Nuan, the strange thing is that she saw the father and son before in the examination room, but she was standing in the pile of candidates, and the father and son were standing behind the examiner's seat.

Seeing this, Ye Nuan raised his eyebrows, looked down at the chess piece in his hand, and smiled a little strangely. At first, she was curious about the chess piece in her hand because of the father and son, like a guide in the dark, she retained a little hazy curiosity about the unfinished words of the father and son, which made her go to the location of the chess game, but what really made her choose this chess game was because of the things in the chess game.

"Next, please ask candidate No. 56 to come forward."

After waiting for about half an hour, the person in front of Ye Nuan finally ended, and it was her turn to step forward.

Ye Nuan nodded at the examiner, and then put the chess piece in his hand in front of him, "Hello teacher, I want to identify it." ”

The examiner is a middle-aged man with gray hair, an elegant and calm temperament, and his facial contours are somewhat similar to the father and son. (To be continued.) )
