Chapter 10 Soybeans
In the hall of Wanxiang Building, the lanterns are hanging high, and the voices of people are boiling.
Sister Liu instructed a few clever servants to quickly remove the porcelain plate and wooden chairs smashed by Mu Hai and Zhao Jiagui, and send new snacks, melons and fruits, tea and wine.
Xiao Si is clever and quick, and the removal of the cup and the replacement of the lamp are smooth, which does not hinder the guests from drinking at all.
Mu Hai stared at Liu Xiang'er's pretty figure, and his heart was full of doubts, at this time, even he couldn't figure out what Liu Xiang'er meant.
But she didn't know that Liu Xiang'er on the stage was also nervous at this time, she was afraid that Mu Hai would not understand the learning of applying it to the world.
Her enemy is the first tyrant of Surabaya City, and his power is far greater than that of Zhao Jiagui and others. If Muhai is a Confucian student who only reads poetry and books, even if he is in the position of the commander of Surabaya County, it will be difficult to fight that person.
In Liu Xiang'er's view, it is not necessary for an official to be proficient in the art of applying it to the world, but he must understand it: first, it can prevent the deception of his minions, and second, it can gain the popularity of the people to establish a foundation.
Liu Xiang'er's question is used to test whether the school Muhai is a person who can be entrusted to him for life. I didn't want to embarrass Muhai in the first question, but the girl was naughty, impulsive, and almost made an irreparable mistake.
However, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, if it were not for this, it would be difficult to see that Muhai is a resolute and wise person.
If only he could get through this.
Liu Xiang'er quietly glanced at Mu Hai, who was frowning and thinking, and said secretly: His serious appearance is really quite attractive-ah, bah, bah, what am I thinking?
Liu Xiang'er hurriedly gathered her mind, took the box handed by the maid, opened the box, grabbed a handful of soybeans, and said with a smile: "This question is to guess soybeans." β
Zhao Jiagui said with a smile: "If Miss Xiang'er asks me to taste gold, it will be fine, but if I identify the type of soybean, it will really be difficult for me." β
Mu Hai heard Zhao Jiagui's ostentatious words, and said-for-tat: "There are so many girls who let you guess the gold, you should still look for them, Xiang'er is not suitable for you - Xiang'er, you say, how can you guess the soybeans?" Not only will I guess, but I will also make tofu with soybeans, do you want to eat it? β
Everyone in the lobby couldn't help laughing when they heard Mu Hai's lazy words.
Liu Xiang'er said: "Thank you Qin Gongzi, it's just that my topic today is not to make tofu but to count the quantity - I have a handful of soybeans here, and the quantity is less than a hundred." Count three or three, and there is one grain left; Count five or five, and the remaining two grains; Seven or seven counted, and there are three left. May I ask you, how many soybeans do I have here? β
Liu Xiang'er's words fell, and after thinking about it for a while, Mu Hai clapped his hands and smiled: "I will not let this question go!" In your hand, there are forty-five soybeans. β
Liu Xiang'er's face was slightly shocked, and just as she was about to speak, Zhao Jiagui slapped the table and said, "Are you smart?" I also know that it is forty-five. Hey, a step slower, let you get a head start, huh! β
Mu Hai sneered disdainfully: "Xiang'er, Zhao Fatzi can't do this, he is a parrot, I don't know why!" β
Zhao Jiagui laughed and said, "Who will learn from you?" Isn't that a great number, hehe, young man, don't be too presumptuous. I also calculated twenty-five. β
"Oh, yes." Mu Hai didn't hesitate and said, "You can tell me how you calculated twenty-five?" If you say it, I'll obey you! β
"Haha, I have my own wall ladder, why should I sue you? Young man, I repeat, I count twenty-five, if you have the ability, change a number, and see if I can learn from you! β
"Good! You said! Mu Hai snorted coldly, slapped the table and laughed, "I changed it, Xiang'er!" You have fifty-two soybeans in your hands, not forty-five! β
Zhao Jiagui's eyes were as huge as Tongling when he heard this, he didn't expect that this kid Mu Hai would really change the number again.
You Nanxi, who was quietly watching the battle, shook his head at this time and chuckled: "The question that Miss Xiang'er came up with is Han Xin's technique of ordering soldiers, and I will also answer fifty-two grains." β
"I'm cΗo!" How could Zhao Jiagui not understand that he was actually being played by Mu Hai at this time.
Watching the lively crowd, they all whispered and snickered, Zhao Jiagui, who is usually invincible, was actually played around like a monkey by this magical boy tonight.
Liu Xiang'er was satisfied, glanced at Mu Hai with a smile to show her appreciation, turned to Zhao Jiagui and said, "In the box, no more, no less, it is fifty-two soybeans." Qin Gongzi replied first, and You Gongzi said that Han Xin's skill of ordering troops was also considered to be passed. This question is only wrong outside the staff......"
Rao is Zhao Jiagui has been through many storms, and it is difficult to deal with it calmly at this time, so he gritted his teeth and snorted to show his disdain.
"Xiang'er still has a question in his hand, if he can answer it correctly, he can pass the test." Liu Xiang'er smiled, "I don't know if the staff is still willing to answer?" β
Although Liu Xiang'er asked Zhao Jiagui, her eyes looked at Mu Hai intentionally or unintentionally.
Zhao Jiagui couldn't pull it down, but he couldn't let go of Liu Xiang'er, so he hesitated and said with a straight face: "Come out." β
Liu Xiang'er tapped his head and said with a smile: "Today, a few people buy a thing, and each person will give eight taels of broken silver, but there are more than three taels." Each person gave seven taels of broken silver, and there was a shortage of four taels. Q, what is the number of people, what is the price? β
Zhao Jiagui didn't know how to count, glared at the entourage around him, and asked them to hurry up and find a way. But what he usually brings with him are some martial artists, and it's okay to let them kill people and sell goods, but it's difficult for them to do these arithmetic problems.
Hu Cong dodged and dodged, not daring to look directly into Zhao Jiagui's eyes.
Zhao Jiagui was helpless, his face became more and more ugly, and he was indignant in his heart, and finally clenched his fists and slammed them on the corner of the table to vent.
Seeing that Zhao Jiagui was annoyed and ashamed, everyone didn't dare to come out, for fear of offending him and being retaliated against in the future. Only Mu Hai laughed when he saw this: "Zhao Yuanwai should regret not taking Mr. Bookkeeper with him." If you don't know the surplus and deficiency technique in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", your bookkeeper must be well versed in it. β
You Nanxi, who was sitting on the side, shook his head with a smile and said nothing.
Liu Xiang'er looked at Mu Hai's arrogant and domineering state, frowned slightly, and sighed: "Qin Gongzi is familiar with Ying Yuan's technique, but he is not familiar with the way of humility. β
Mu Hai laughed, and said secretly in his heart: This girl reminds me that it is a good intention to learn from You Nanxi Taoguang and raise obscurity, but my purpose tonight is to make a name for myself and confirm my identity, but I can't be humble and polite.
Liu Xiang'er saw that Mu Hai disagreed with her advice, and she was faintly worried in her heart. But she knows the truth that no one is perfect, Mu Hai's appearance tonight is already very good, and she can't ask for more.
You Nanxi saw the displeasure on Liu Xiang'er's face, and she was even more determined to win. Not to mention this woman's talent and appearance, what is even more rare is that she understands the skill of the saint Taoguang. Such a woman will be included in her own room, and she will be a virtuous helper in the future.
After two rounds, Zhao Jiagui was out, embarrassed and angry, and walked away.
Sister Liu watched from the sidelines with horror, but the rest of the people watched happily and with great joy.
Liu Xiang'er drank saliva to moisten her throat after returning to the screen, took a short rest, came back to the stage, and said to Mu Hai and You Nanxi: "In the last round, I originally intended to come up with some poetry topics, but in this way, it is clichΓ©, and now I have a new idea." β
As soon as everyone heard the word "new", they began to get excited, and the first two rounds of the competition were more exciting than the next, and I don't know what surprises there will be in this round.
