Chapter 204 Qiankun
Shen Gongquan was stumped, and there was even a question on this question.
When Du Qin heard that Princess Wusun really had a back hand, he turned his face sideways and smiled faintly at Du Ye, Du Ye said in his heart: "Fortunately, I didn't go out of the way just now, otherwise I would be embarrassed." ”
"This question of Princess Wusun is really tricky."
At this time, the translator added: "Princess Wusun just asked, 'Black and white silk is exposed to the sun, which is hotter and which is black silk?' ”
"Why does black silk absorb heat more than white silk? Who knows what this is? ”
The Xuanshu Hall was silent at this time, and a hundred and ten eyes looked at Shen Gongquan, Shen Gongquan stood for a while, and said ashamedly: "This...... I can't figure it out for a while......"
Shen Gongquan said, blushing and bowing his hand to Qi Qige, and stood backwards in the team.
Qi Qige's blue eyes looked at the young men in front of him, and asked a question, and the translator said: "Princess Wusun asks, which Lang Jun can answer this question?" ”
The word "Lang Jun" of Princess Qiqige is a bit abrupt, this "Lang" is easy to understand, but this "Jun" is not something that can be added casually.
Langjun is the person whom a woman calls her husband or her love.
Lang Jun's use here is obviously inappropriate, but this translation was assigned by Yang Tan, a vassal country, and at this time, everyone in the hall was thinking about answering questions, but they didn't delve too much into the flaws in his words.
"This question is really not so simple...... Xiao Yu frowned and thought about it, looked at Du Qin who was whispering on the side, and saw at a glance that Gou Shen's face was light and light. My heart moved. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Gou." You look like you're on your hands? ”
Gou Shen replied calmly: "Brother Xiao should also be considered a last resort." ”
Xiao Yu smiled: "Brother Gou praises falsely, in fact, Xiao really doesn't know anything, and he has never been confused about this kind of problem." ”
"According to someone Xiao, Brother Gou won't just invite him?"
For some reason, Xiao Yu also felt that Princess Wusun's question could only be answered by Gou Shen.
Liu Xin and the others have made up their minds that they are not going to show up today.
First, they have become Huangmenlang and achieved the desired goal, and second, they really have no thoughts about the blue-eyed and blonde Princess Wusun. The key is that Zhilu Dao can't answer any questions at all, in case he gets it right, if he loses face in front of everyone and the Son of Heaven like Shen Gongquan, it will be more than worth the loss - his every move in the Xuanshu Hall represents not only himself, but also the entire family behind him, not to mention, his father and brothers are also in the palace, if they make a fool of themselves, where will they lose face?
Gu Yong heard the words of Gou Shen and Xiao Yu at this time, so he said, "Give something." You should go and answer, otherwise we seven-foot men will really stump Princess Wusun? ”
Gou Shenxin said that a few of you were originally troublemakers who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic. But look at the others, they are all Monet, don't let yourself be embarrassed, Zhilu said that they are really helpless on the topic, so they gave up, first visited Liu Xun and Xu Guanghan, Huang Ba and some ministers, and then turned to Qi Qige and smiled, and said: "The princess is polite, I am the Huangmen Gou Shen, appointed by everyone, and dare to answer the princess's questions." ”
Du Ye smiled in his heart, this Gou Shen is really shrewd and careful, he went out by himself, how could he be "appointed by everyone"?
Qige looked at Gou Shen, but also smiled, Gou Shen's eyes lit up, returned the salute again, and then stood up straight and said: "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white and black, black things absorb more light than white, so it is easy to heat up fast, but to clarify this question of why black absorbs heat faster than white, I am afraid it will take a few days and nights of effort, now, I have a simple answer: what color do you see an object, in fact, this object is what color is reflected, for example, you see an object is white, The reason is that the other colors in the light are absorbed by the object, leaving only the white color reflected back......"
Gou Shen said, Du Qin was confused, like falling clouds, looking at each other and dazed.
Shen Gongquan said that this Gou Shen can really talk nonsense! I knew that Lu Dao would step forward again, anyway, if you talk nonsense, everyone can't understand what you're talking about, and they can't tell if what you said is right or not......
Xiao Yu looked at Gou Shen very solemnly, and the four Lang officials who had answered this question earlier looked at Gou Shen in great surprise.
That Langya's Lu Ba was even more interesting, Gou Shen replied in his mouth, he echoed Gou Shen's words on the side, and then muttered to himself: "Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, white, black?" …… The reason is that all the other colors in the light are absorbed by the object, leaving only the white color reflected back...... What does this mean exactly? ”
And the translator who is responsible for the translation of Qige is even more embarrassing, listening to Gou Shen's words is like listening to a book from heaven, the word translation used to be a little stiff and unsatisfactory, and the mouth will explain Gou Shen's words synchronously and stammer, and the people in the hall feel that Princess Wusun probably can't understand, so many people have a smile on their faces - it is to be so unfathomable to stump this Wusun woman, in order to show that my Han country is like a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, in order to show the prestige of the Han!
Gou Shen saw that the people in the hall basically reacted the same, all of them had seven tricks and had already passed six tricks, and there was no clue, so he smiled: "I'm simpler, for example, the white cloth roll and the black cloth roll are like two black and white copper mirrors, so, which color copper mirror reflects more light?" ”
"Or, which is brighter, black or white?"
Lu Ba had been thinking hard about the meaning of Gou Shen's words among more than a dozen people, and he suddenly said loudly: "Ah, I know the truth, I see!" ”
Gou Shen glanced back at Lu Ba and smiled at him, Lu Ba hurriedly silenced, his wheat-like complexion seemed to be dyed with rouge, black and red, and his expression was even more embarrassed, Yang Xiong beside Lu Ba patted his arm kindly.
Today's test is really "choosing a son-in-law in person", and choosing a son-in-law is a festive thing, so Liu Xun always has a smile on his face, as if he is watching the excitement. No one spoke out to impeach him for his impudent uproar.
“…… The principle is the same. Black shines less than white. Therefore, black is more prone to heat than white. ”
Liu Xun listened to Gou Shen's words with a smile on his face even more, sure enough, this Gou Shen is quick to think, lives up to expectations, advances and retreats to a certain extent, he and Guozhang were optimistic about him before, and now he really enters the stream from admonishment, not only answering his own questions. This will be asking the other party rhetorically, and the answer sounds like it should be.
Xu Guanghan also likes it more and more he looks at Gou Shen, this kid speaks with a straight face, facing Princess Wusun who is neither arrogant nor humble, it is difficult to be so reasonable and well-founded in front of the courtiers, it is very good!
Qi Qige will understand Gou Shen's question, looking at Gou Shen with big blue eyes, with a smile on his face, and talking again with a grunt in his mouth.
Gou Shen couldn't understand what she was saying. But I enjoyed his style, his euphemistic tone and the tone of the warbler Yanyan.
At this time, the interpreter said: "Princess Wusun said that Huang Menlang's answer is very good, so please keep up the good work." Answer the second question – bring up the ball. ”
"Qiankun Ball?"
"What's that?"
The people in the hall were discussing, and Gou Shen smiled: "The first question has been answered, and Gou Shen will retire for the time being." ”
Gou Shen said that he bowed to Liu Xun and Qiqige again and returned to his position, which made Xiao Yu and Du Qin have a better impression of him: it is really rare to have answered a question, and he is not arrogant and knows how to take care of everyone's emotions.
At this time, the chamberlain carried a desk and placed it in the Xuanshu Palace, and everyone stretched their necks to watch, I don't know what Princess Wusun's second question is?
"This is a nine-turn Qiankun ball, there is an opening at each end of the ball, and the tester is required not to damage the integrity of the ball, and a red line is passed through one end of the ball, and the red line is pulled over from the other end, which is considered a victory."
From the perspective of everyone, this jade ball, which is called the Nine Revolutions Qiankun Ball on the table, is just a spoon-sized jade ball that is tightly seamed, and there is no gap except for the small mouths at both ends.
And they all thought, "What's so hard about that?" It's just a rope hole.
At this time, Princess Wusun raised her lips lightly and said slowly, a pair of wonderful eyes swept over the faces of Gou Shen and more than a dozen candidates, and Du Qin suddenly had the idea of "she is looking at me".
The interpreter responded: "The princess said, this jade ball is natural, not human can chisel, but the passage in the ball is not a straight line, but nine turns of the intestines, zigzag, the direction is like the wind blowing clouds, no one can tell where it leads, so it is called the Qiankun ball, which means that it cannot be guessed." ”
"Please remember that when answering, you must not smash the ball, cut it open and destroy it, because it is inappropriate to put the red line in it and damage the integrity of the Qiankun ball."
"You officials can come forward to observe and ponder, discuss the details, as long as someone answers, it's fine."
With such an explanation, the candidates looked at each other again, although Liu Xun had already known what the topic of the test was, he would also be happy to see others anxious.
Xu Guanghan looked at Liu Xun's appearance, and asked with his eyes, but Liu Xun smiled lightly, Xu Guanghan knew that he, the emperor's son-in-law, actually didn't know how to solve the problem, which shows how rude this Wusun woman is!
"What's so hard about that? The two openings of this ball are similar in size to the ear holes, we just need to find a thin gold wire, tie the red wire firmly, and then thread the gold wire from one end of the Qiankun ball, and pull it out from the other end, and the red line will pass through the Qiankun ball? ”
Xiao Yu saw that it was Zhai Fangjin and Zhai Ziwei who spoke.
Going home last night, Xiao Yu from his father Xiao Wangzhi will be recruited with him as a Lang official this time to find out the details, this Zhai Fangjin is a native of Shangcai in Runan, and the Qin Dynasty has a famous prime minister named Li Si in this place, and Zhai Fangjin is the same as Li Si, with a humble family background and poor ancestors.
Zhai Fangjin's father once worked as a literary official in Runan County, this "literature" means a person who is proficient in Confucian classics, starting from the time of Emperor Wu Liu Che, is the person in charge of the school, Emperor Wu was admitted to the first place in "literature" is Gongsun Hong, and Gongsun Hong was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty.
Zhai Fangjin lost his mother at an early age, and lost his father at the age of twelve, so he could only rely on his stepmother for his life.
However, Zhai Fangjin's immediate boss Taishou Mansion Rafter Shi thought that Zhai Fangjin was dull by nature and often insulted him, which made Zhai Fangjin depressed and wanted to quit his home to study in Beijing, and Zhai Fangjin's stepmother was a very kind woman, she went to Beijing with Zhai Fangjin, Zhai Fangjin entered the school, and Zhai Fangjin's stepmother used weaving cloth and shoes to subsidize the family for Zhai Fangjin to study.
It wasn't until this time that Princess Wusun ran for her husband, Zhai Fangjin was recommended, and sure enough, he became Huangmenlang with a rank of 600 stones.
"What Brother Zhai said doesn't seem to be bad, but I think it doesn't seem to be appropriate." (To be continued......)
