Chapter 296: Converting Oolong
"Wild grass and flowers by the Vermilion Bird Bridge......" Su Jiudong put Xue Tao's note to the tip of his nose and sniffed it gently, and sure enough, there was a fragrance of flowers and plants.
Su Jiudong was slightly surprised: "In order to fit the verses of the poem, the shopkeeper of Qin actually deliberately smoked this Xue Tao note with flowers and plants, smelling a faint fragrance of orchids, paying so much attention to details, it is really heartfelt......"
"However, Shiyan only said that it was evening, but did not say the specific time, and the guy from the shop who came to deliver the letter also left, it seems that I will have to go to the cloth shop again later, and ask the shopkeeper Qin when the fighting poem will start."
"Don't bother." Wen Yiheng, who was standing opposite Su Jiudong, pointed to the Xue Tao note in her hand: "The back of Xue Tao's note has already written the time, and the time is right." ”
When Su Jiudong heard this, he flipped through Xue Tao's note, and sure enough, he saw the dark gray ink of the landscape painting in the lower right corner, and wrote the three words "Youshi Zheng" with heavy ink, which were hidden in it.
The sun was setting in the west, and the evening was approaching, and the time and Wen Yiheng arrived at the street where the cloth pavilion was located at the end of Shen according to the accurate time of going to the meeting written by the shopkeeper Qin on the back of Xue Tao's note.
At this time, the front of the cloth hall was already full of people, and half of the street was surrounded by the people who came to watch the "finals". The carriage could not enter, so it could only stop at the entrance of the street, and Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng were forced to get out of the carriage and walk.
Su Jiudong, who had already exposed the identity of "Miss Shanxiu", appeared in women's clothes, and couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the scene in front of her.
"No wonder I saw that there were few people on the street just now, and the few people who were in a hurry all came to watch the battle...... This is an empty alley, right? ”
Wen Yiheng also nodded with satisfaction: "Yuzhou is located in a remote area, and there is still a distance from the capital, but the people do not isolate themselves from literature because of poor conditions, they still love literature and poetry, and the cultural wind prevails, which is both a pleasure and a good thing." ”
As Su Jiudong and Wen Yiheng approached the cloth pavilion, Su Jiudong noticed Gu Rong in the crowd with sharp eyes.
"Miss Yamahide!" Gu Rong raised his arms and shouted, the original crowd gradually died out, and he looked towards Su Jiudong.
Yesterday's Doushi meeting killed Su Jiudong's dark horse, and today, the name of "Miss Shanxiu" spread throughout the entire Qiuzhou City.
Everyone is waiting to see whether it is Gu Rong Gu Gongzi, who has participated in the poetry fighting meeting for nine consecutive days, and so far only Gu Rong Gu Gongzi, who has lost once last night, can come out on top, or Miss Shanxiu, who killed halfway, can win the Toad Palace.
It is because of today's poetry fighting meeting, the number of people who come to watch it has increased a lot compared to the previous one, just to see who will die in the final champion of the poetry fighting meeting.
Su Jiudong found that among the crowd who came to watch, there were many official ladies wearing hats, just because today's final poetry meeting was not only a text, but also a gender battle between men and women.
The shopkeeper stepped forward and greeted: "Miss Shanxiu, you are finally here, Gu Gongzi has to wait for you here, I have been waiting for a long time, the three of you, please go up to the second floor with the little one and take a seat." ”
The shopkeeper took Su Jiudong, Wen Yiheng and Gu Rong from the side door into the cloth shop, turned left and right into a small building, and when they went to the second floor, their sight suddenly opened up, and they saw the wide open space on the second floor and the beautiful river view.
In order to facilitate the people who can't enter the cloth pavilion to "watch the battle", the Qin shopkeeper deliberately chose the address of today's fighting poetry meeting on the second floor of the Wangjiang Pavilion in the cloth pavilion.
This place is close to the river, and at the edge of the cloth pavilion, only a wall and nine feet away from the outside, when the time comes to read poems in public and display calligraphy, the people who can't enter the cloth pavilion downstairs can also hear and see the works of the literati.
The second floor of the Wangjiang Pavilion has long been arranged for today's poetry meeting, because today is the last poetry meeting to determine the final champion, so the specifications are grander and more luxurious than before.
In addition to placing the four treasures of the precious scholar's room such as rice paper, lake pen, Hui ink, and Duan inkstone, there is also a side table next to it, which is full of seasonal vegetables and fruits, wine, and tea, for the literati to use.
At today's poetry fighting meeting, there were only fifteen literati who came to participate, and the number was much smaller than yesterday, but those literati all looked arrogant, and they almost took the finger of the chin.
Wen Yiheng easily guessed the answer: "These writers should be the top three in the previous poetry meeting." ”
Gu Rong, who was walking at the end, asked, "Dare to ask how Brother Heng knows?" ”
"Just look at their looks." Wen Yiheng glanced at Gu Rong, answered casually, walked forward to the left of Su Jiudong, and sat down next to Su Jiudong's left.
At the beginning of the day, all the literati who came to participate in the poetry meeting gathered, and the shopkeeper Qin and Changshi walked to the middle of the layout together with all the rules: "Today's poetry fight, the rules are different from before, today's theme is 'Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together', and it is required to do Tibetan poems." ”
"The rule is that each person wants to hide their heads, starting from the first person with the seat number, one person takes turns to say one sentence after another, each person has only one Luo pre, and receives seven absolute fullness, requiring one person to be neat in the battle, rhyme, and beautiful artistic conception."
Compared to many people who are confused by the rules, Su Jiudong is trapped by a pre-arranged time calculation unit.
"How long is Yiluo?" Su Jiudong thought in his mind that there was only time left for "a cup of tea" and "a stick of incense".
Wen Yiheng approached and whispered to Su Jiudong: "Twenty snaps of fingers is a pre-roll." ”
Su Jiudong's face was slightly red, and he asked embarrassedly: "That flick of the finger is ......" Niu Bar Literature Network
The smile on the corner of Wen Yiheng's mouth grew, and he simply answered patiently for Su Jiudong: "Twenty moments is a snap of a finger, twenty snaps of a finger is a Luo pre, twenty Luo pre is a moment, and one day and one night know that there is thirty moments." ”
"Good!" Su Jiudong took a deep breath, grinded the pen and converted the time on the paper.
Su Jiudong was muttering to herself, others didn't know that Su Jiudong was converting time, and thought that she already had an idea, so she was immediately surprised.
"It's really worthy of Cheng Biting Jin who killed halfway, we haven't figured out the rules here, and she thought of the verses so quickly?"
Gu Rong, who was sitting on Su Jiudong's right, had already noticed that Su Jiudong was the first person to take the pen, and at this moment he was immersed in writing and writing, and there was a faint thin sweat on his forehead, so he tilted his body and looked sideways, only to see her writing densely on the paper with words that he couldn't understand.
The text that Gu Rong couldn't understand was the Arabic numerals written by Su Jiudong, which used hieroglyphs to memorize numbers in ancient times, and later with the treaty port, Roman numerals were introduced into China.
Arabic numerals were introduced to China after the thirteenth century A.D. and were officially used in 1892, so Gu Rong could not understand the handwriting written by Su Jiudong.
At this time, Su Jiudong was engrossed in calculating the time, ignoring the outside world, and did not know that the eyes of the audience were on her.
Su Jiudong muttered silently while converting: "Based on this, it can be deduced that one moment is equal to two thousand eight hundred and eighty seconds; A flick of the finger is equal to seven .2 seconds; A split second is equal to 0.36 seconds; It's only 0.018 seconds in a split second..."
"Twenty snaps of fingers is a Luo pre, and that Luo pre is..."
Su Jiudong exclaimed: "One minute and forty-four seconds!" ”
After exclaiming excitedly, Su Jiudong, who finally raised her head, found that everyone in the audience looked at her.
Shopkeeper Qin stepped forward to watch curiously, but saw that the rice paper was full of Arabic numerals that he didn't recognize, so he asked Su Jiudong in public:
"Miss Shanxiu has an idea? Looking at the text you wrote, it doesn't seem to be the font of our Dayin Dynasty, but the Fanbang script? Later, if you turn it in in this font, you will need to attach a translation. ”
Shopkeeper Qin said in his heart, showing off erudition is not so ostentatious, if Su Jiudong turns it in with such a font later, he will never let Su Jiudong inscribe poems on the wall.
Such a script does not have the elegance and beauty of the Central Plains script, and no one can understand it.
Su Jiudong replied stunned: "The little girl has no idea at the moment, she is just converting the time, just now the little girl didn't know how long the time was, so she converted the minutes and seconds on the paper." ”
There were three literati present who did not participate in last night's poetry fight, and the three of them happened to be the second and third people who occupied the second and third places when the poetry fighting meeting was held in Xingyuan, where Wen Yiheng and Su Jiudong stayed, on the seventh and eighth days.
Qian Xiuqi, who was the leader, expressed his doubts about Su Jiudong at this time:
"I don't even know how much time I've had, how can such a person be a dark horse? Is the rumor false? Was it wrong yesterday? ”
The second Li Jiachi also joined the discussion with disdain: "Hmph...... Women are talentless, and you believe that she alone is a weak woman who can win the first place yesterday at one time and be able to participate in today's poetry fight? ”
Xue Hengtai, who ranked third, made the most vicious speculation: "Maybe someone is operating behind it, and she just sells her body to get to the top." ”
Shopkeeper Qin smiled embarrassedly: "Our Da Yin Dynasty has never said that there is a second, did Miss Jiu Dong have been to a foreign country earlier to know their timing vocabulary?" ”
Before Su Jiudong could cast a look at Wen Yiheng for help, Wen Yiheng consciously stood up, looked around, and "explained" to Su Jiudong in a loud voice.
"A few months ago, Miss Shan Xiu was a military advisor who accompanied our army to Sujin Kingdom and helped our army win the battle. This timekeeping method of minutes and seconds was something she learned in Su Jinguo. ”
"Because our army has stayed in the territory of Su Jinguo for more than three months, Miss Shan Xiu deliberately changed her habit for many years in order to facilitate the calculation of the time of the enemy's operation, and learned the timekeeping methods of Su Jinguo."
"Over time, habits become natural, and Miss Shanxiu couldn't change her habits back for a while, so she didn't remember the time of a pre-date."
After Wen Yiheng finished speaking, the audience was silent, Su Jiudong looked at Wen Yiheng, his eyes were full of silent gratitude and tenderness.
Everyone present didn't expect that a slender woman could go out with the army as a military advisor, and even stole the military intelligence of the enemy country and helped the Da Yin Dynasty army win the battle......
The people who originally had a disdain for Su Jiudong reversed their views and prejudices about Su Jiudong in an instant.
Gu Rong immediately stood up and bowed to Su Jiudong, respectfully: "I never thought that Miss Shanxiu would have such a past, but she really didn't let her eyebrows go." ”
Shopkeeper Qin also stepped forward to salute Su Jiudong and expressed his admiration.
