Zhao Xian rode his horse to the suburban avenue, looking at the two people who were still arguing in the car, he couldn't help but feel very distressed, women are women, especially Yijun Birou, these two temperaments can't get along, together is simply cold water with hot oil, and they can't be quiet at all.

Thinking of the trouble that Yijun just mentioned, Zhao Xian came to the car window, opened the curtain and looked at the second daughter and said, "Yijun, what is the trouble you just said?" ”

An Birou was pushing around with Yijun, and when she saw Zhao Xian, she hurriedly tidied up her somewhat messy dress, and responded at the same time: "It's just a small thing, you don't have to worry about so much." ”

Even Yijun asked to come out to help, and dared to say that it was a trivial matter, Zhao Xiancai didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "Miss An, I asked Yijun, and I didn't ask you." ”

"You..." An Birou was stunned for a moment when she heard this, then reacted, snorted lightly, turned her back and sat down in the other side of the car window to look at the scenery.

Yijun saw Zhao Xian speaking for her, there was a little more smile on her face, she picked up the fruit plate and put it in front of Zhao Xian, and said coquettishly: "Since you ask me, I naturally want to tell you, in fact, this matter is not big, it is not small, if it is not handled well, it will affect the reputation of Qi Baozhai, and indirectly affect the reputation of the Dao An family, the An family is the famous family of the Great Liang, and the reputation is very important, you should know this, right?" ”

Zhao Xian nodded, if ordinary people came to find fault and collect protection money, they would have settled it by the means of Anjia, and no one had the courage to do so, I am afraid that only this kind of thing related to the reputation of the store would make An Birou in a trance.

Zhao Xian thought for a while and smiled lightly: "My favorite thing in my life is to help people solve troubles, let me see what kind of hot things are." ”

"You can't help it, my mother can't even think of a solution, so I don't believe you can solve it." Yijun leaned lazily against the car window and chuckled, "But you're so curious, I'll tell you." Last month, a guest came to Tianwanbaolou, a monk in Lushan Temple, and came to Wanbaolou to let us build a golden Buddha on our behalf, and left ten catties of gold ingots at that time. ”

Ten catties of gold is one hundred taels of gold, Zhao Xian was very surprised, the old emperor gave me so many rewards, this group of monks is so generous, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water. He asked curiously, "Isn't the gold ingot lost?" What monks want you to compensate? ”

But after saying that, Zhao Xian felt that it was unlikely, although a hundred taels of gold was a huge amount of money, it was not to the point of making the An family embarrassed.

Sure enough, after speaking, Yijun laughed 'poof': "If that's the case, it would be good, we should naturally compensate for the loss of things, but those gold ingots were not lost, when they were taken into the store, it was just ten catties, Birou personally weighed, and handed it to the group of monks after it was built, but they said that the Golden Buddha was not enough, so we weighed it in front of them, ten catties and a penny are not bad, but they still said that the Golden Buddha was not enough, and suspected that we were adulterated in the Golden Buddha, we are an old store for many years, how can we fake for a few taels of gold." , I wanted to cut open the golden Buddha certificate, but that offended the Buddha that no craftsman was willing to do it, and this golden Buddha was carefully cast by craftsmen for a month, and it chilled their hearts to cut it rashly, because there was no way to explain it to the group of monks, and Birou was worried about this appearance. ”

That's a problem. Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, the guests suspected that the Golden Buddha was adulterated, and the best solution was naturally to cut it open, but in this era, there are countless Buddhas, let a craftsman go to the Golden Buddha to cut it, no one wants to cut it, and then Wanbaolou is mainly made of jewelry, and the craftsmen inside are all craftsmen handed down from their ancestors and grandchildren, working in Wanbaolou all the year round, although it is an employment relationship, but there is always a little friendship, because the guests are vexatious and suspect that they are cheating to cut the Golden Buddha for verification, it will definitely chill their hearts, The craftsman doesn't have to work for you in the future, how can Wanbaolou still operate?

An Birou turned her head at this time, looked at Zhao Xian who was frowning and contemplative, and sighed faintly: "Zhao Xian, these things are not involved in scholars, and it is normal that you can't solve them, I will explain it to those monks again." ”

"Who said I couldn't solve it." Zhao Xian snorted, shook his long flowing hair, and said proudly: "I am the legendary 'fragrant attacker' talent, this little thing is not difficult for me." ”

"Do you really have a solution?" An Birou glanced at Zhao Xian in disbelief, if she said that the poetry was right, calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, she had some confidence in Zhao Xian, and there was no vanity under the fame, but she didn't believe Zhao Xian very much in business, this kind of industry that insulted the identity of a literati couldn't get into the eyes of scholars at all, let alone Zhao Xian, a talented man with some fame, how could he have a way.

Yijun had some confidence in Zhao Xian, and said curiously at the moment: "Tell me the method." ”

Zhao Xian smiled mysteriously: "Is this method actually simple, in the West more than a thousand years ago, there was an old man named Archimedes, the king of their country asked a craftsman to make a crown of pure gold, but after it was done, the king felt that the gold was adulterated, so he found Archimedes and asked him to determine whether the crown was adulterated without damaging the crown." ”

An Birou was slightly stunned, and then said strangely: "What happened in this Western barbarian country is very similar to today's situation, but how do you know what happened a thousand years ago?" At that time, it was still in the Spring and Autumn Period, and there were not many records in the history books..."

"Don't take it so seriously, just tell a story." Zhao Xian smiled helplessly and continued: "This is a difficult problem. Archimedes went home and meditated for a few days, but he couldn't eat or sleep. One day, while taking a bath, he noticed that when his body sank in the tub, some of the water was overflowing from the side of the tub. Archimedes came to his senses, and immediately entered the palace, and before the king he put a piece of gold, a piece of silver, and a crown as heavy as the crown, in a basin of water, and saw that the amount of water discharged by the gold nuggets was less than that of the silver bars, and the amount of water that the crown put out was more than the amount of water discharged by the gold nuggets. Archimedes confidently said to the king, "The crown is mixed with silver." ”

"Uh... What do you mean? Yijun looked at Zhao Xian inexplicably, and didn't understand it for a long time, but An Birou nodded as if she didn't understand.

"Don't be surprised, the king didn't figure it out." Zhao Xian smiled and continued: "The king wants Archimedes to explain. Archimedes said: A pound of wood is larger than a pound of iron. If they are put into the water separately, the large wood will discharge more water than the small iron will put out more water. I apply this to gold, silver, and crowns. Because the same weight of gold and silver must be greater than the volume of gold, the amount of water discharged by the gold nugget is less than that of the silver bar. In the experiment just now, the crown emits more water than gold, indicating that the crown is larger than the gold nuggion, thus proving that the crown is not made of pure gold. ”

"That's the truth, I didn't expect it." An Birou suddenly realized, clapped her hands lightly at the moment, and sighed happily. She was amazed by this seemingly simple, but ingenious method, this guy is usually unreasonable and arrogant, but she didn't expect it to be a bit crooked, she looked at Zhao Xian, who was confident, opened her mouth and wanted to praise a few words, but hesitated for a moment, and finally snorted softly: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart, I really don't know what you have in your head, and you can even think of such a strange method." ”

Ambirou is quite smart and understands it so quickly, but compared to being smart, I still like to have bigger breasts. Zhao Xian looked at Yijun who was frowning and contemplative...... A glance at the chest.

Seeing that An Birou wondered how he knew this method, Zhao Xian couldn't explain it, so he could only shake his head and smile, and quipped: "So smart, in fact, I'm also quite distressed, after all, it's not a good thing to be too talented, and there are often little girls who are fascinated by me, and embroider my poems on handkerchiefs or something, annoying......"

"You, what nonsense are you talking about." An Birou's face turned red when she was mentioned about the embarrassing thing, and she quickly pulled down the curtain of the car.

Zhao Xian laughed a few times, and didn't tease her, walked in front as a flower messenger, and walked slowly and quickly towards the city.
