Chapter 70: Zhou Yu's Question
After hearing the names of Zhou Yu's father and son, Sun Ce was stunned for a while, then quickly got up and dressed, washed up briefly, and came to the living room!
Before, when Sun Ce hadn't come back, he was already looking forward to meeting Zhou Yu, and now that he was about to meet, Sun Ce's mood was even more excited.
When he came to the living room, Sun Ce saw a middle-aged man, with a thin face, who seemed to be a little lacking in qi, dressed in white and shirted, quite handsome! Next to him stood a little Shota! That's right, it's Xiao Zhengtai, with red lips and white teeth, fair skin like Wanyu, and upright and delicate facial features!
These two should be Zhou Yi and Zhou Yu, right?
Sun Ce nodded slightly, this picture is indeed as recorded in history, Mei Zhoulang is worthy of being Mei Zhoulang, even when he was a child, it was the same!
"Grass people Zhou Yi, with his son Zhou Yu, I have seen Master Hou!" After Zhou Yi saw Sun Ce, he even thought that Sun Ce arched his hand.
"Luoyang is polite!" Sun Ce naturally returned the courtesy.
"Master Hou said that he laughed, the grass people have already resigned and gone home, and now they are just grass people, not a Luoyang order!" Zhou Yi smiled awkwardly.
However, Sun Ce didn't pay attention to Zhou Yi at the moment, because he noticed that a sharp gaze was staring at him, and he followed the gaze to look over, it was Zhou Yu! Sun Ce was not afraid at all, and directly looked at Zhou Yu. The two are the same heroes and young, and they have the same ambitions!
For a while, the two had a feeling of sympathy for each other, this feeling, no need to speak, not even physical communication, just a look, can understand each other's thoughts!
Seeing the two of them looking at each other like this, Zhou Yi was a little anxious, what could be done? If two people fight, Zhou Yu is not Sun Ce's opponent!
However, Zhou Yi's worries were obviously very unnecessary, and after the two looked at each other like this for nearly a quarter of an hour, they both burst out laughing.
Immediately, I saw Zhou Yu take the lead in arching his hand towards Sun Ce: "Little brother Zhou Yu, I've seen the eldest brother!" ”
"Brother Xian is polite!" Sun Ce also arched his hand, and then the two looked at each other again and smiled, like a long-lost friend.
This......
Zhou Yi, who was watching the whole process, widened his eyes, what was going on? Why is this happening, shouldn't the eyes of the two people just now be a big fight? Did you get the script wrong?
"Brother Xian, I wonder what ...... you are here today?" Sun Ce asked.
"Naturally, I want to get to know my eldest brother!" Zhou Yu said, "The eldest brother has made many exploits on the Yellow Turban battlefield before, and the younger brother really admires it!" Then I heard about the poems made by the eldest brother, which is really a hand-me-down, and the younger brother admires it even more, so I must meet the eldest brother and see the eldest brother's ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu's words came to an abrupt end, and he glanced at Sun Ce with some embarrassment.
Sun Ce laughed, and then followed Zhou Yu's words: "Let's see if I'm really a person, or do I have three heads and six arms, and I'm a monster?" ”
"Forehead ......" was broken by Sun Cedao, and Zhou Yu was even more embarrassed, and his face turned red.
"Brother Xian doesn't need to be like this, just say what you think." Sun Ce smiled slightly, not caring at all.
"Thank you, big brother, for your magnanimity!" Zhou Yu arched his hand again and said sincerely.
"Gong Jin, don't you have ......" Zhou Yi seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Zhou Yu, "There is no need for this!" ”
Why is that?
Zhou Yi's heart was full of question marks, and he had no idea why his son suddenly changed his mind.
"Is there anything wrong with Brother Xian?" Sun Ce was also puzzled, could it be that Zhou Yu came this time for some special purpose?
"It's such a big brother!" Zhou Yu didn't hide it, and said calmly, "Originally, when I was at home, I heard about the deeds of my eldest brother, and I was unconvinced, I wanted to see it with my own eyes, and even wanted to compete with my eldest brother, but now, I don't think it's necessary!" ”
"Hehe, it's okay, how do you want to compare, brother, I'll accompany you!" Sun Ce smiled, in fact, he also wanted to see what kind of exam questions Zhou Yu could come up with this time!
"Since that's the case, then the younger brother has the courage to ask the eldest brother questions!" Zhou Yu thought for a while, and then asked, "Does the eldest brother have pen, ink, paper, and inkstone?" ”
Sun Ce nodded, motioned for Zhou Yu to wait, and then got up and ordered his subordinates to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.
Soon, the pen and ink "paper" inkstone was ready, but there was no paper, and its substitute was a slightly better cloth!
Seeing this scene, Sun Ce's eyes flashed, and he remembered that although Cai Lun of the Eastern Han Dynasty improved the papermaking technology and caused "Caihou paper", however, such a paper process is cumbersome, relatively speaking, the paper is also more expensive, and, most importantly, the effect is not so good in writing, so now many people would rather continue to use relatively low-cost cloth than use Caihou paper!
In this case, if Sun Ce slightly improved the Caihou paper to make its writing effect better and the process simplified, would it set off a frenzy in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty?
Thinking of this, Sun Ce was very excited, and he couldn't wait to buy the paper mill now, and then study this papermaking technique!
However, this is just an idea, Sun Ce doesn't have too many concepts of papermaking in his heart, some of them are just a little bit learned in high school textbooks, and he was also very interested in this at that time, so he went to check some information! But after all, it has been many years, and when he was in the army, although he was also involved, he was not involved too much, so if he wants to make paper now, I am afraid it will be very difficult.
However, these are not problems, Sun Ce believes that he will be able to succeed! Now, let's see what questions Zhou Yu gave him! The most important thing now is to subdue Zhou Yu first! He knew that although Zhou Yu had already identified him as a brother in his heart, he had not yet reached the point of being convinced, so he must answer the questions listed by Zhou Yu! In this way, it can have the effect of truly convincing Zhou Yu!
Zhou Yu saw that the "paper" pen had come up, so he picked up the pen, drew a nine-square grid on the cloth, and then said to Sun Ce: "Brother, now there is a nine-square grid here, what my brother has to do is to fill in the nine numbers from 1 to 9, and require the sum of the three numbers to be equal horizontally, vertically, and obliquely!" ”
After speaking, Zhou Yu handed the pen to Sun Ce.
This...... Isn't this the nine-house arithmetic?
Sun Ce was slightly stunned, the so-called Nine Palaces is to divide the Heavenly Palace into nine equal parts: Qiangong, Kan Palace, Gen Palace, Zhen Palace, Middle Palace, Xun Palace, Ligong, Kun Palace, and Dui Palace. In ancient times, these nine palaces were widely used, and they were used in occupation, art, arithmetic, medicine, latitude, and construction.
And these, at this time in ancient times, belong to the side door, not orthodox learning, there are few people who specialize in studying these, and those who specialize in these are often called Fangshi, and it is really troublesome for ordinary people to understand the knowledge in the nine palaces.
I have to say that in ancient times, Zhou Yu's question was definitely a difficult problem, but for Sun Ce, who is a traverser, it is not the case, this is just a simple elementary school Olympiad problem!
