Chapter Ninety-Three: One Hundred Thousand Years of Income
Chen Zheng grew up learning a musical instrument: the harmonica.
With the passage of time, the few musical cells on Chen Zheng's body not only did not spread, but also turned into decay and scattered into mud and dust.
Seeing that the waiters of the Prince's Mansion had finished assembling the chimes on the spot, Chen Zheng's head was oozing sweat, regretting that he didn't report for various interest classes and specialty classes at a young age.
Chen Zheng thought about it, more than 2,000 years later, in various music classes, except for piano, violin, accordion, guzheng, guqin, drums, etc., there was no one to teach chimes!
Facing the exquisite and luxurious chimes of the Chu State, Chen Zheng couldn't help but step forward to take a closer look, and secretly admired the ingenuity of the Chinese ancestors in his heart.
Several Chu musicians stood on the side of the chime, holding percussions of different lengths in their hands.
Yingjie sneered: "Young Master Lu, please?" ”
It was the first time that Chen Zheng had such a close encounter with the bronze chimes of the Warring States period, and since the future museum would not allow touching or performance, why not take this opportunity to try it?
Ying Zhu said with a smile: "Just now Lu Gongzi showed his singing voice, which is really eye-opening. I also asked Lu Gongzi to use this chime to play a song to help the wine! Hahahaha! ”
Mi Chen seemed to be relieving Chen Zheng and said: "How many people need to play this bell up and down in unison, how can one person play it solo?" ”
Chen Zheng stretched out his hand to take the small hammer in the hands of the Chu national musician, and struck it on the chime with a "bell", and the sound seemed to go around the beam, which was really lingering, crisp and beautiful.
Yingjie was stunned: "It's over?" ”
"It's over." Chen Zheng returned the hammer.
"It's gone?"
Chen Zheng walked back to his place and sat down, and said with a light smile: "It's gone." ”
Yingfu sat there and arched his hand: "Dare to ask Lu Gongzi, which tune did Fang just play?" ”
"Oh~, just a song "When" is dedicated to you, it's ugly, it's ugly." Chen Zheng smiled and arched his hand to the people present.
Chu Guo's musicians, you look at me, I look at you, they all covered their chests and squatted on the ground in pain.
Yingzhu said with a smile: "Lu Gongzi's song "Dang" is really concise and straightforward, and expresses his heart directly!" I don't know where this song came from? ”
Yingfu laughed again: "If he can play "Dang", then I will play "Dang", isn't it just a random knock, and a three-year-old child can also knock it." ”
Chen Zheng said with a smile: "What the young man said is wrong, didn't the young man hear the deep meaning contained in it from the lingering sound of Fang Cai?" ”
"Nonsense!" Ying Fu pointed at Chen Zheng and said to Ying Zhu: "Father, how can such a clever man let him talk nonsense in the prince's mansion!" ”
Yingzhu waved his hand: "Yingjie, you let Lu Gongzi finish speaking!" ”
Chen Zheng said unhurriedly: "The gist of this song is that when the mountain peaks have no edges and corners, when the river no longer flows, when time stops day and night, everything in heaven and earth turns into nothingness..."
Yingzhu said: "So what? ”
"Hehe, of course, let us live a chic life with Hongchen as a companion, gallop on horseback to share the prosperity of the world, sing the joy in our hearts when we are drinking, and vigorously grasp the youth."
Yingjie chuckled and said, "Why didn't Gongzi Lu just say that he didn't sing?" Since it's a song about wine, I also ask Lu Gongzi to come up with another song. ”
Chen Zheng smiled: "If you want to talk about this song, there is another version, but don't sing it, I'm afraid it will scare you." ”
Yingjie looked at Chen Zheng with a flirtatious expression: "Joke! Lu Gongzi is really good at laughing, thinking that my descendants of the Great Qin Kingdom surnamed Ying, how can I be frightened by your song. ”
Yingzhu waved his hand at Chen Zhengyi: "Yes, yes, yes!" Lu Gongzi just sings, and I'll listen to it. ”
Chen Zheng was not polite, and walked to the middle of the living room to get lucky, and the people around him held their breath and watched intently.
……
While everyone in the living room was waiting quietly, Chen Zheng suddenly sang: "When ~ your eyes are squinting and smiling, when ~ you drink Coke and you are noisy, I want to be good to you, you never know..."
When Chen Zheng sang the first accented word "dang", the waiters and musicians standing around trembled, Yingzhu and Yingjie jumped up in fright, holding their chests with a painful expression of difficulty breathing, and Mrs. Huayang's sister and brother both opened their mouths wide and looked at the rapper from Handan in front of them stupidly.
Chen Zheng symbolically sang two sentences and returned to his seat, and there was silence in the living room of the prince's mansion.
After a pause for a long time, Mi Chen clapped his hands and shouted: "Brother Lu is really strange!" The song is both unexpected and evocative! After speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Huayang.
Mrs. Huayang said: "Since Gongzi Lu is a strange person, the songs he sings are naturally refreshing. ”
Yingzhu just came to his senses, raised the wine bottle and said, "Madame is reasonable!" Come on, let's have a drink together. Then he waved his hand and motioned to the musicians of Chu State: "Play music!" ”
In the sound of chimes, Yingzhu and Chen Zheng raised bottles from time to time to salute. Yingfu squinted at Chen Zheng with her eyes, as if she was full of anger and was about to explode at any time.
When the song ended, Yingfu arched his hand towards Chen Zheng: "I heard that Lu Gongzi is a businessman, but I don't know how much income I have?" ”
Chen Zheng smiled and said: "I have never met Gongzi Yingfu, how does Gongzi know that I am a businessman?" ”
Yingwei didn't expect Chen Zheng to ask such a rhetorical question, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, staring at the spot stunned.
Chen Zheng smiled again: "I guess that Teacher Cang told Childe, right?" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! Oh! No, no, no! Yingjie nodded first, then shook her head in denial.
Yingzhu saw that his baby son was a little confused, and hurriedly relieved the siege: "Young Master Lu, Mrs. Fang Cai and Yang Quanjun are full of praise for you, I don't know how the business situation of the son is?" ”
Mrs. Huayang waved her hand and said: "Gongzi Lu is rich in gold, he lost more than a dozen golden cakes last night, and he didn't blink an eyelid, and after a year, he has earned hundreds or thousands of golden cakes." ”
Ying Wei chuckled and said, "How much can you earn in a year, let's ask Lu Gongzi to say it himself!" ”
Chen Zheng squinted at Yingjie: "Hehe, less than 100,000." ”
The eyes of the people present widened, less than 100,000?! Then you can't pile up a mountain of gold!
Yingfu asked: "Don't exaggerate Gongzi Lu, how much is less than 100,000?" ”
"Four thousand three."
The attendants and musicians who were standing around them all fell on the spot.
"Young Master Lu, you dare to say that your four thousand three are less than 100,000, the difference is too great, right?" Yingzhu glanced at Mrs. Huayang, and then turned to look at Chen Zheng.
Chen Zheng smiled: "Four thousand three to one hundred thousand?" ”
Mi Chen interjected: "It's really not here!" ”
Yingzhu glared at Mi Chen, and this Yangquan Jun lowered his head and closed his mouth.
Ying Fu said angrily: "Four thousand three is less than 100,000, why doesn't Lu Gongzi say less than 1 million?" ”
Mrs. Huayang rushed to speak: "Yingjie, don't be unreasonable to Gongzi Lu!" If you talk about it, Lu Gongzi is your elder, why don't you get up and make amends to Lu Gongzi? ”
Chen Zheng hurriedly waved his hand and said: "That's it, I'm a businessman, how dare I worry about the young man." ”
Yingjie turned his face angrily, looked at Yingzhu and said, "Father, I don't know why this Lu Gongzi is sitting in my Great Qin's Prince's Mansion today?" The child heard that there was no adultery, no business, no business, no adultery, could it be that this person played some ghost trick in front of his father? ”
Yingzhu looked at Mrs. Huayang and Mi Chen embarrassedly, and then looked at Yingfu and said: "Gongzi Lu is a distinguished guest invited by Mrs. Zheng and Yangquanjun, Yingfu, don't neglect Gongzi Lu." ”
"What a distinguished guest! Mrs. Zheng and Yang Quanjun are probably deceived by this Lu Gongzi, right? If there is a dispute today, who would dare to say that he has earned more than 4,000 gold cakes in a year? I think this person's words and deeds are quite strange, and when I think about it, he is just a superficial person who does not learn and has no skills. ”
Yingzhu smiled and said: "Since you say so, then why don't you have a discussion with Lu Gongzi on the spot, Lu Gongzi, what do you say?" ”
Ying Wei smiled and said: "If I win this Lu Gongzi, I will ask my father to drive this person out of the Qin State, and don't let him step into the Qin State." ”
When Chen Zheng heard this, he thought to himself, as long as this Yingjie doesn't ask himself when the pool will be filled with water and when the train will kiss him, will he still be afraid of him? !
"Yingjie, what if you lose?" Qi Chen looked at Chen Zheng's calm expression, and his confidence increased.
"If I lose, let this Lu Gongzi fall."
Mrs. Huayang said excitedly: "This is what you said, don't regret it." Lu Gongzi, Yingfu has always recognized himself as knowledgeable, do you dare to fight? ”
Chen Zheng faced this strong competitor of Yingyiren, and also wanted to try the depth himself, and chuckled: "Although I am not talented, I also know a little about the subset of classics and history, Tang poetry and Song Ci, I don't know how to learn from Yingyi's son?" ”
Yingfu said confidently: "Lu Gongzi should not be grandiose here and say some strange things that people can't understand. I have three questions for Lu Gongzi, and if I can answer them, even if I lose. ”
The waiters and musicians in the living room exchanged their heads and ears, if Lu Gongzi couldn't answer a question, it would be considered a loss, and when the time came, he would stop singing "When Your Eyes Squint and Smile", a song "When You Leave" may be more suitable for him.
"Hahahaha!" Chen Zheng laughed: "Then what are you waiting for, let's start?" ”
"Okay, you wait! Q: There are six birds in the tree, shoot down one with a bow and arrow, how many are left? ”
"Zero." Chen Zheng thought to himself, this is too simple, and he thought that he would take the "Book of Songs" and "Chu Ci" solitaire!
Mi Chen snapped his fingers on the side and said, "Huh? Shoot one, and five more, right? ”
Chen Zheng smiled: "Yangquanjun, don't forget, birds can fly, do those five birds want to be grilled together into skewers?" ”
"Again: There are ten fish in the tank, three are dead, how many are left?"
"Ten of a kind."
Mrs. Huayang blinked: "Aren't there seven fish left?" ”
Chen Zheng said with a smile: "Live fish and dead fish are all fish." ”
Seeing that Chen Zheng had answered two questions correctly in a row, Yingfu suddenly became nervous, thought for a moment, and a smile appeared on his face: "In the horse race, a horse surpassed the second place, ask, what is the current place of this horse?" ”
Chen Zheng was about to answer that it was the first place, but suddenly felt that something was wrong, and when he reacted, he also smiled: "I almost fell in your way, of course it is the second place." ”
Yingzhu touched his head and said, "Since it has surpassed the second place, why is it still the second place?" Why not number one? ”
Chen Zheng got up and walked to the front of several Chu national musicians, pulled out two people from inside to stand in a row, and then simulated the process of the third place surpassing the second place, and Yingzhu suddenly realized.
Qi Chen looked at the red-faced Ying Fu and smiled: "Ying Fu, I didn't expect you to use these questions to ask Lu Gongzi, how about it?" Convincing or not? ”
Yingfu waved his hand and said: "If this Lu Gongzi asks me three questions, if I can't answer them, I will really convince him." ”
Mrs. Huayang said: "Yingfu, you didn't say that, do you want to regret it?" ”
Chen Zheng hurriedly stood between Mrs. Huayang and Yingjie and said, "Okay, okay! Since the young man said it, then I will ask three questions. Then he said to Yingjie: "The so-called coming without being rude." If you don't play your cards according to common sense, then I'm not welcome. ”
Yingjie raised his head and said, "Very polite!" The sons of this son are all in the hundreds of schools, and all of them are proficient in the art of war, all of them are refined, you just have to ask, why do you need to say more. ”
Chen Zheng gave a thumbs up and said, "Sure enough, it's a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers." But before I ask a question, I want to send you a word, young people can be arrogant but not arrogant, no matter how big the ability is, you must learn to hide it, and the ability on your body is not used to show off everywhere, otherwise it will only cause trouble and cause trouble. A truly intelligent person is someone who knows how to hide himself. Isn't it sad that if a person is too smart, he will become a fool with a clever mind, and such a person will only compete and fight with his kind? ”
Yingjie said disdainfully: "Less nonsense! If you have any questions, just ask, my son doesn't have the time to listen to your nonsense. ”
Chen Zheng shook his head: "Okay, then I'll ask you a few simple ones." Listen, is there anything smaller than an ant in the world? ”
"Yes."
"Is there anything bigger than an elephant?"
"Yes."
"Is there anyone more stupid than you?"
"Nope."
"I'm done with my question."
Yingjie said like falling into the mist: "That's the end of the question?" ”
"It's over. Since there is no one more stupid than you in the world, what else is there to ask. ”
"That's not right! Didn't you dig a hole and wait for me to say 'no'? This one doesn't count, another one. ”
Chen Zheng smiled: "You didn't say it yourself, no one forced you." So I'll tell you a story, how about that? ”
“……”
Yingfu was afraid that she would fall into Chen Zheng's way again, so she closed her mouth and didn't dare to say anything.
"Alright! The story is about a fool who said 'no' when people asked him anything, and asked him if he had eaten. He said 'no', asked him what his name was, he said 'no', asked how old he was, he said 'no'. Alas~? By the way, Son-in-law, have you heard this story? ”
"Nope."
"Okay."
Yingfu, who came back to his senses, was so angry that he was smoking, and pointed at Chen Zheng with a trembling hand: "You...!" You...! ”
Yingfu looked at Yingzhu and said, "Father, why didn't this person blow him out of the house when he humiliated the child so much?" ”
Yingzhu glanced at Mrs. Huayang, who was silent, and swallowed back the words to his lips.
Chen Zheng drove the space battleship and fired another laser at Yingfu who was already smoking in front of him: "Yingfu Gongzi, I have one last question, do you want to hear it?" ”
"What, what's the problem?"
"Do you know what animal besides humans likes to ask why?"
"No, I don't know, what's wrong?"
"It's a pig."
"Why?"
"I'm done with my question."
Yingfu jumped up angrily, but in front of so many people in the living room, especially Yingzhu and Mrs. Huayang's sister and brother, they didn't know how to attack.
Inadvertently, Yingfu found several pairs of bows and arrows hanging in the living room, and actually stepped over to pick up a bow.
Chen Zheng was shocked, could it be that Yingjie wanted to shoot a bow and arrow at himself? !
Mi Chen stood up and was about to step forward to stop him, but he heard Yingjie challenge: "Young Master Lu, have the courage to go outside with me, how about we compare?" ”
Before Chen Zheng could respond, Yingfu waved his hand to summon two waiters, picked up two bronze wine bottles from the table, and said to everyone: "Let these two people carry wine bottles on their heads in the courtyard, and Lu Gongzi and I will stand twenty steps away, and whoever can hit the wine bottle with one arrow will win." Then he said to the two attendants, "Which of you will come first?" ”
The two waiters trembled with fright, looked at Yingjie, then at Chen Zheng, and stood behind Yingfu with Qi Shushu.
