- On the small high platform, putting the abacus back on the table, Shi Yi raised his little finger and hooked one of the beads, as if he was playing. Seeing that the elliptical abacus turned several times on the pole before stopping, he praised: "This abacus is of very good quality, it seems that you are really prepared." ”

"Hehe, if Jacky Shi has been to Liang Guo, it must not be difficult to see that these two abacus are produced by Liang Jing's Luo family, and the abacus used by all students in the business school in Liang Jing to practice are directly purchased from the Luo family, and the quality is of course reliable." Yi Wen paused here for a moment, and then said after a while: "Yan Shao's family had a plan earlier, and wanted to transport some of the abacus produced by the Luo family to Nanzhao to sell, after all, Nanzhao also began to learn abacus, but I don't know if this kind of practice abacus will break Zhaoren's position, and now looking at Shi Xueyou's evaluation, it should be safe." ”

Yi Wenyan stopped, and raised his eyebrows to glance at Yan Yu in the judging position.

Yan Yu didn't say anything, but Ruan Luo on the side smiled and said: "Yes, this is indeed the style produced by the Luo family, I didn't expect that their family is still doing this business, and when I think about it, I can't help but feel a little worried." ”

Hearing this, Yan Yu looked at Ruan Luo, and finally spoke: "Come to Kyoto another day, no matter whether this business has been decided or not, Brother Fool will bring a handful over first and give it to you as a gift." You don't know, the transformation of the Luo family in this tool is very innovative, the new twenty-two columns, twenty-nine columns, and the abacus of the two-wing structure, I think you will be very interested. ”

Ruan Luo nodded with a smile and said, "In this way, there will be Brother Lao Yan." ”

On the other side, Shi Yi listened to Yi Wen's words. I didn't buy it very much in my heart, and said secretly: I don't leave the business when I open my mouth, and I don't leave the Yan family when I close my mouth, and I really want to enter the Yan family, even if it's just a small follower.

As soon as his mind moved, Shi Yi smiled and said: "Yi Xueyou doesn't know, when my younger brother was studying in Xuelu, he often thought that if he could go to Liang Country and see the authentic abacus with his own eyes, he would definitely benefit a lot." It's just that I have been having another big concern that I didn't know where I went there alone. Where should I stay overnight? The language of the Liang Kingdom. Customs, diet, if there is too much difference with Nanzhao, the younger brother has been pampered since childhood. I'm afraid I won't be able to stand it for even a day. ”

"This ...... Drifting in the lower life. Although he has studied in Liang Guo for many years. But it has always been a guest residence. A melancholy look appeared on Yi Wen's face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said again: "If he really comes to Liang Country. You can still come and find you, and it is naturally no problem to be a guide for you. ”

When Shi Yi heard this, a trace of shame suddenly appeared on his face, and he secretly thought: His life experience seems to be worse than mine, alas... Don't continue to think about competing with him, it's also a poor man! Maybe I've met today, and I won't have the chance to meet again in the future.

Gathering his mind a little, Shi Yi waved his hand at Yi Wen shallowly: "Jacky Yi's good intentions are appreciated, but the younger brother is a troublesome person, not like Jacky Yi who can take his future seriously, so the younger brother should not bother, so as not to drag you down." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yi Wen could answer, he heard the sound of knocking on the table from the trial seat. As soon as the two of them turned their heads to look at each other, they saw that it was Ruan Luo who withdrew the hand that had been knocked on the table, and his expression was rare and serious, obviously saying to Shi Yi: "Xiao Yi, if you want to see the authentic abacus skills of the Supreme Academy of Liang Guo, you can see more of Yi Xueyou's fingering later." ”

When Shi Yi heard this, he hurriedly straightened his attitude. Nodding seriously, "Yes, Xiao Yi remembered." Then he looked sideways at Yi Wen, and said with the same serious expression: "Please also ask Jacky Yi to mention more junior brothers." ”

Yi Wen smiled modestly: "Don't dare to advise." ”

In the first round of competition, the content of the competition is relatively basic, and the test is only the accuracy of fingering and the calculation speed of a fixed account listed by the Yan family, but when two identical account books are placed in front of Yi Wen and Shi Yi's respective tables, Yan Yu on the trial seat suddenly beckoned and said: "This half of the fingering game is not included in the judgment criteria of the first round of victory or defeat, just move your fingers, feel free!" ”

Yan Yu's words came out. Everyone present was amazed.

Strictly speaking, this is not a temporary change of rules, but just a revocation of a streamlined rule. This is fair to both parties.

But even so, it can't stop everyone from questioning this. Ruan Luo, who was closest to Yan Yu, naturally became everyone's spokesperson, looked sideways at Yan Yu, and couldn't help but say, "Although this is the most basic skill. But it is also one of the most important foundation assessment criteria, why should it be exempted? ”

Yan Yu said gently: "No matter how you say it, our Yi Wen has one more year of experience than your Shi Yi, and these two people are not professors in the same college, I am afraid that there are differences in fingering, and it is not easy to judge equally, do you say yes." ”

"It's fine." Ruan Luo hesitated, and finally answered. But he still vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Shi Yi, who was on the other side, thanked Yan Yu when he heard this: "Xiao Yi, thank you Yan Shao for your support." ”

Yan Yu just nodded and didn't speak, and then his gaze shifted. looked at one of the Yan family's attendants he placed on the stage, and raised his hand: "Change a stick of incense." ”

The incense stick used for the new light was only half the length of the previous one. This is not difficult to understand, the time was halved because Yan Yu cut the content of the first game by half just now.

After the Yan family's entourage changed the time incense. also explained: "Two, this incense can be marked with double time." Look at the upper end of this incense stick, there is a small cut, until the incense stick burns here, it is still not officially timed, the two of you can move your fingers first. ”

"Thanks for the reminder." Shi Yi took the lead in arching his hand at the man, then rubbed the back of his hand, and twisted his knuckles with his fingers to "crackle" for a while, as if he was not about to start a delicate abacus operation, but to punch people.

After doing this, he put his right hand into a fist slightly, just spread his thumb and index finger, and tossed back and forth in the upper and lower areas of the abacus for a week, the speed was faster, and the finger drop was also accurate, which was the standard fingering method of two-finger beads.

It's a bit exaggerated, but in fact, Shi Yi's fingering looks very ordinary.

On the viewing seats outside the small high platform, Shi Yi's seven aunts. A few people have already seen this scene and feel anxious. Mo Ye, who was standing beside Ruan Luo, looked more carefully, and was faintly anxious, but when she stood behind Ruan Luo, she could only see a little side of his face, and she couldn't see his demeanor at this time, and she couldn't find the credentials that made her feel at ease.

But in fact, Ruan Luo's state of mind at this time was very calm, even if Shi Yi's live finger technique seemed a little rough, but that was only the beginning, and it did not have the effect of absolutely determining the victory or defeat.

Same with Ruan Luo. Yan Yu is also calm. The same was true of his close entourage in the spectators. can be selected by him, follow him to run so far to the Nanzhao Emperor's capital, and enter the Dongfeng Tower to participate in this event, these people rely on their entourage. For abacus, they all have a basic skill. Naturally, they all understand. No matter how fancy the fingering is, it cannot represent the certainty of victory or defeat.

In the Liangjing Business School, students with disabilities were also accepted. As long as they have the talent for it. After passing the basic entrance examination, the business school is also willing to accept them for further study. And the starting point of this initiative, although it is out of the spirit of benevolence, is not without a hint of gain. Although some students have only one hand or even four fingers, they can improve their abacus skills faster than many able-bodied students.

Contempt is not advisable, not to mention that the young man named Shi Yi in front of him is not disabled.

Shi Yi moved his fingers halfway through, and Yi Wen on the side also started his action, he did not rub his hands, nor did he twist his knuckles with his fingers to "crackle", but first clenched his fists, slowly opened them in front of his eyes, and then slightly touched his fingers, and then stroked the abacus.

Yi Wen also flicked his fingers back and forth a few times with the upper and lower abacus, but his fingering was obviously different from Shi Yi's, and even a little amazing...... He uses both hands, and each hand moves at the same time with four fingers except the little finger.

It was as if he was stroking the harp.

The beads of the abacus are all wooden, and they can't make a pleasant tone when they are plucked, but the sound made by Yi Wen's plucked beads is very gentle, and it contains a harmonious rhythm, as if the lake waves wash the stones.

Obviously, his fingering with eight fingers in unison is not a temporary display, but a painstaking practice, and his habits and skills are harmonious, and his movements are integrated.

As soon as he saw this scene, Shi Yi himself was greatly surprised.

In the viewing seats on the periphery of the small high platform, the seven aunts were already shocked. And next to them, those Yan Yu's close entourage finally stopped all of them with calm faces. Seeing that everyone was shocked, and the good momentum was clearly tending to their side, among them. A few people have gradually put on a trace of smugness at the corners of their mouths.

Ruan Luo, who was on the trial seat, was also a little surprised when he saw this scene.

Nine years ago, when he was a student at Liang Guo No. 1 Business School, the bishop of the college was still teaching the two-finger technique. This is the most basic and popular fingering method in the practical fingering of abacus, and it is the first fingering method for all students.

However, there was no shortage of new ideas among the young people, and there were already a few students who were extremely skilled in fingering and created their own multi-finger fingering, but they were not recommended by the teachers of the college at that time.

In the teaching guidelines of the faculty of the college, the task of students is to lay a solid and solid foundation first. Although polydactyly may seem fancy, it does have some advantages of its own, but not all students can reach that level and may not be suitable for extensive teaching. Whether it will be included in the textbook is still up for debate.

Before that, it is necessary to stabilize the students' rigorous learning mentality, which is a voluntary duty of teachers in addition to the normal implementation of the teaching curriculum.

It's just that nine years have passed, and the teaching structure of Liangguo Business School may really have undergone subversive progress!

In any case, today is the nine years after Ruan Luo's absence, and it is inevitable that he will be a little excited for a while when he sees the students of Liang Guo's Supreme College unfolding multi-finger fingering.

After staring at it for a while, Ruan Luo looked sideways at Yan Yu and said with a smile: "The changes in the business school are too great, the junior brother hasn't had the opportunity to go back and take a look for many years, and now the multi-finger fingering there has been compiled into the school program?" ”

"Hmm." Yan Yu was in the right mood, nodded when she heard the words, and introduced: "Although this fingering method cannot be fully taught to all students, a certain proportion can be seen, which shows that this kind of learning has the significance of special study." Nowadays, business schools have special courses, and students can choose according to their hobbies and abilities. ”

Ruan Luo couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "Brother Yan has brought a powerful person, Xiao Yi is afraid that it will be difficult to defeat." ”

"Not necessarily." Yan Yu smiled slightly, "It's not that I'm deliberately modest, if I have enough face to bring the one in the business school who can 'blow the wind', if you say that again, I may really be full of words." ”

"Oh?" A novel look appeared in Ruan Luo's eyes, "'Wind Finger'? It's wonderful, what's going on? ”

"Polyfingerymanship started to be part of the business school program two years ago, and there have been some changes since then." Yan Yu sorted out some clues in his mind a little, and then slowly introduced: "What Yi Wen uses in front of me is the second of multiple fingering, also known as 'Whisk Lan Finger'. One hand and four fingers are used at the same time, but one finger is left, which is for the mercy of the orchid, and is characterized by the light falling fingers. ”

"The schoolwork of the business school has now advanced to such a level, which really makes the younger brother feel weak about this competition." After listening to Yan Yudi's introduction, Ruan Luo praised from the bottom of his heart, "The 'Whisk Lan Finger' is already so exquisite, if Brother Yan really brings that 'Whisk Finger', I'm afraid we don't have to compete, only the heart to admit defeat." ”

"Hehe, Brother Ruan is elevated." Yan Yu smiled. Naturally, he was a little proud in his heart, but his understanding of multi-fingering was not limited to this, and of course he would not get carried away. After a pause, he said again: "The practical significance of abacus is much greater than the performance significance, and my brother just said that." There is only one person in the academy who can 'blow the wind finger', but if he is asked to clean up the accounts, it may not even be as accurate as one hand and two fingers. ”

"This ......," Ruan Luo was surprised, "why?" ”

"'Wind Finger' is the movement of the ten fingers of both hands in unison, and the gesture of the performer is like a chaotic wind, and the posture is indeed wanton and free......" Speaking of this, Yan Yu suddenly laughed dryly, "But this is like the wild grass wind in Nanzhao's calligraphy, although there is a sense of meaning, but the practicality is, alas! ”

Regarding Yan Yu's words, Ruan Luo quickly showed a look of deep approval, and sighed lightly: "Although the wild grass wind has a unique personality, it is rarely applied to the printing of this book. Thinking that Liang is a prosperous country, the new accounts every day are no less than the output of a printing shop, and to settle these accounts every day, too individual arithmetic fingering may not be able to withstand the original fingering that has been tested for decades, Brother Yan's consideration is not unreasonable. ”

Yan Yu nodded and said, "Only when chatting with Brother Ruan can I always agree so quickly." It's a pity...... My brother came to Beijing not for business, so he will go back in a few days, and he doesn't have enough time to talk to you more. Nine years apart, see you today, for a while. Brother only feels that there are a lot of words in his heart, and he wants to spend a few nights with you. ”――
