Chapter 100: One plus one equals many
Although the Splendid Villa covers a wide area, but this era is limited by technical conditions, Qin Baichuan did not dare to let too many people in at one time, seeing that there were more than 100 people on the side of the scholar entering, and after the peddler pawn also absorbed more than 500 people, Meng Xiaoling raised the red flag in his hand.
"Stop! The first round of admission is full, so if you don't get a chance, please prepare silver and copper plates and take a break! The two leaders on the left and right ordered the door to be closed, leaving only the middle one, and shouted at everyone: "If anyone is anxious and wants to enter the villa to watch the ceremony, please pay the entrance fee of one or two silver!" After entering the venue, you can visit around the Fairview Villa and watch the competition site, but you must not make a loud noise, otherwise you will be disqualified immediately! ”
"Such a strict game is allowed to be spectators?" Some readers who can't make up their minds have their eyes lit up.
"I've made the rules clear, and guests who want to watch will enter through the middle door." The family looked arrogant and hummed: "But I also remind you that Steward Luo has invited the yamen to catch the fast, I hope everyone can respect themselves, and don't deliberately make trouble and damage public property!" ”
"No, no, no!" A group of scholars are happy, the so-called knowing oneself and knowing that the other is invincible, spend a tael of silver to find out the bottom first, so that the start of the second round of the competition does not increase the chance of winning?
Stimulated by such ideas, the talented people who did not get the right to answer the first round of questions could still hold back the restlessness in their hearts, and threw pieces of broken silver into the huge wooden box at the door, and almost seventy percent of the talented people rushed in and went to the venue of the couplet to watch.
"I'll just say that why Luo Kite didn't care about his name and show up on the post carriage, it turned out that he had saved his mind to make money." Seeing that the wooden box at the door was thrown in a few hundred taels of silver in an instant, a woman at the back of the crowd chuckled, as if she had seen some clues.
This woman looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with low temples, willow eyebrows, a small face on a goose egg with a light smile, and a pair of deep eyes that faintly flickered between the inadvertent flows. She was wearing a pale yellow gown, a pair of delicate embroidered shoes under the three-inch golden lotus, and a jade belt was tied around the willow waist that was less than a hand, outlining her soft figure gracefully.
"Master, I've seen this kind of goose plucking method to collect money once." As soon as the woman's voice fell, a man in white standing behind her said respectfully.
The woman in the yellow shirt raised her eyebrows slightly, but did not make a sound.
"I don't know if the master still remembers the one I told you, Qin Baichuan and Mr. Qin from Wangjiang Tower?" The man in white said tentatively.
"Is that Mr. Qin who started to talk about "The Condor Heroes" and made a song "Loyal to the Country" for Marshal Yue?" Seeing the white-clothed man nodding, the woman in the yellow shirt groaned for a moment and said, "I have to say that although Mr. Qin is from a humble background, he is indeed a talent. Not to mention the story of "The Condor Heroes", but the desolate and heroic "Loyal to the Country", even I am ashamed of myself. ”
"Mr. Qin does have some skills, but he is still not as good as his master." The man in white smiled and said, "When I bought his naming rights, he said that he would fulfill his promise in seven days...... It's ridiculous that I just thought he was going to set aside time to prepare, but I found out later that I had fallen for him. ”
This white-clothed boy is not someone else, it is the Ling Tianzhao Ling Gongzi from Qingfeng Academy, at that moment, he told him how Qin Baichuan used the topic to attract the attention of readers, and how Sister Lan upstairs in Wangjiang coaxed thousands of taels of silver in a short period of time, and the woman in the yellow shirt also shook her head when she heard it.
"Take one step, look at three steps, this Mr. Qin is really a genius in business." The woman in the yellow shirt glanced up at the gate of Splendid Villa and said with a smile: "When you say this, I also think that Luo Kite's method seems to be similar to Mr. Qin, and it seems to be even more ruthless." ”
"Let's go, let's go in and see what else Luo Kite means." The woman in the yellow shirt smiled and took the lead in the first step.
The vast majority of the people who went to Fairview Villa this time were men, so as soon as the woman in the yellow shirt appeared, she attracted the attention of many people. Her eyes flashed with stunning colors, this woman was not weaker than Luo Kite in terms of appearance, figure, and bearing, and she was dressed as if she was a classical beauty who came out of a painting, which made people dare not have the slightest blasphemy.
Ling Tianzhao casually threw a piece of broken silver in, and the family glanced at it, and it was as much as five taels, and he didn't dare to ask more questions at the moment, so he turned sideways and let the two of them in. Although the number of people who poured into the Splendid Villa reached hundreds, the area of the villa was already extremely large, and there was no chaos with the help of the yamen to help maintain order.
The woman in the yellow shirt looked around, bounded by the main road in the middle of the Splendid Villa, and there were already rows of neat tables in an idle courtyard on the left, where a large group of scholars were meditating and splashing ink. On the right side of the road are a dozen simple tents set up, and the peddlers and pawns are in groups of twenty or thirty people on average, each holding a bouquet of chrysanthemums in their hands as a voucher for participating in the chrysanthemum cup.
"Everyone, please be quiet!" At the scene of the Chrysanthemum Cup, the family members carried a loudspeaker made of iron sheet and shouted at the top of their voices: "The Chrysanthemum Cup Prize-winning Knowledge Quiz Contest is about to start, please prick up your ears and listen carefully!" The first question is very simple, I ask you, under what circumstances does one plus one equal to three, equal to five, equal to infinite but not equal to two? Okay, friends who have a good answer, please step forward and say your answer out loud! ”
"One plus one equals three?" It was just a simple arithmetic problem, and after a little thought, someone shouted: "Haha, I know!" When a man marries a woman and then gives birth to a child, isn't that one plus one equal three? Hahaha, I'm just a genius, I'm going to decide on this tael of silver! ”
Hearing him shout like this, many people immediately reacted and echoed: "That's right, one plus one is not equal to two in the case of marriage!" I thought so too! ”
"Damn, what are you doing with it?" Others have a negative attitude towards this answer: "Didn't you hear the question clearly? What do you say when your answer is only equal to three, equal to five? ”
"Are you a fool? As long as a man is strong enough to give birth to a few children a year, it won't take a few years to have children and grandchildren! Haha, yes, this must be the standard answer! ”
"That's not what you say!" A farmer frowned, "We sow two seeds in the spring, and in the autumn we can harvest three, five, or even countless seeds!" I don't think one plus one equals two until sowing seeds! ”
"Yes, yes, it makes sense, it makes sense, it deserves to be a master of farming!" Someone in the crowd said enviously.
"Quiet, quiet!" Hundreds of people discussed, and the person in charge of the question only felt that one head was two big, and shouted through the loudspeaker: "Friends who think the answer is after getting married, please stand on the left side, friends who think that the answer is after sowing, please stand on the right side, and friends who think that both answers are correct or have new answers, please stand in the middle!" ”
With the order of the family, there was a crowd of people in front of them, and those ordinary people who tried to earn a tael of silver were noisy and noisy, and each found its place.
"Water can carry boats and capsize boats, in fact, the energy of the people should not be underestimated." Taking in the scene in front of him, Ling Tianzhao smiled bitterly: "Under what circumstances does one plus one not equal two...... The answer given by these people was beyond my expectations, and I guess ...... Fairview Villa can't even think of it, right? ”
"Although the people's thinking is peculiar, the person behind the problem is even better." The woman in the yellow shirt keenly saw the relaxed smile on the corner of Jia Ding's mouth, first frowned, and then smiled.
"Oh? Master, do you mean that the people's answers are wrong? Ling Tianzhao frowned and said, "But I think what they said makes sense." ”
Of course, there was a reason, but they didn't listen carefully. The family Ding made it very clear that the first question was an arithmetic problem, and it had nothing to do with what it was to become a biological child or sow the autumn harvest. The woman in the yellow shirt said with certainty.
"Just an arithmetic problem?" Ling Tianzhao was even more puzzled: "If that's really the case...... That one plus one cannot equal two at any time. ”
"You're wrong again, there is a situation where one plus one can equal three, it can equal five, or it can equal an infinite number." The woman in the yellow shirt smiled and said, "In the case of miscalculation." ”
"This ......" Ling Tianzhao's mouth widened, then he shook his head and smiled bitterly.
His laughter did not fall, only to hear the family on the stage and say loudly: "Thank you for your enthusiastic support, according to our statistics, a total of 317 friends participated in this round of answers, and 13 final answers were obtained, but unfortunately, none of them were correct!" ”
"Impossible!" The people were in high spirits, and the words of the family were undoubtedly a basin of cold water poured on their heads.
"Nothing is impossible, you are smart and smart, but you don't pay attention to the question! I made it very clear that this is just an arithmetic problem, and it has nothing to do with anything else! The correct answer is that one plus one can be equal to three and five in the case of miscalculation, but not two! ”
"Holy, what is this? It's just TM stealing and tricking! In the case of miscalculation, miscalculation can be equal to tens of millions, tens of thousands! "Anger was written on the faces of ordinary people, and some were almost on the verge of a seizure.
"I have obviously said that one plus one can equal innumerable, which naturally includes tens of millions, tens of thousands, but unfortunately, you didn't answer correctly!" The people were agitated, but the family was not afraid: "If you want to continue to participate, you will buy chrysanthemums to get the right to answer the questions, and if you don't want to participate, you will leave the Splendid Villa immediately and want to make trouble...... Hmph, the yamen's arrest is here, whoever wants to eat prison food just stand up! ”
Since ancient times, the people did not fight with the officials, and the answer given by the Splendid Villa was impeccable, and the people gritted their teeth fiercely, but they could only consider themselves unlucky.
