Chapter 10 Three Problems
Time flies in a blink of an eye, and it's May 8th. This time, the ring of the Great Prince of the Northern Night Kingdom vs. the talented girl of the Great Liang was placed in the Taiping Hall of the Imperial Palace.
From early in the morning, all the princes and nobles with a bit of status dragged their families into the palace just to watch the wonderful game. And the contestants, such as the fourth princess and the fifth princess, are all sweating profusely and looking nervous.
His parents, such as Concubine Zhen, Concubine Ning, and Princess Fuqing, all comforted their daughters, did not have stage fright, and played in style and level. This formation is quite similar to the later college entrance examination.
Jinshu took Xiaohuan and obediently stayed by Jing Concubine's side, looking at everyone's nervous looks, and sighed: "It's so cool!" "It's like, someone else is in the college entrance examination and you have received the admission letter, and you also know the questions of the college entrance examination, do you say it's cool?
The fifth princess sat on the side, holding a copy of the "Book of Songs" and grinding the gun, the brocade book looked at it and wanted to laugh, and said in her heart: Don't bother with it, today's question, except for the traverser Qin Yuhe, you are all in vain!
As time passed, everyone gradually entered the main hall. The south-facing upper seat is the seat of the emperor and the queen mother, and the lower seat on the right hand side is the married princess and their respective concubines and their families, as well as the emperor's three princes. The crown prince Gao Jinche, the second prince Gao Jinwei, and the third prince Gao Jinbo. On the left hand side are the emperor's concubines and concubines and unmarried princesses.
On the east side of the following are the families of the princes, princes, marquises, earls and nobles, and a bunch of people. The west side was left to the people of the Northern Night Country. Finally, below are the ministers of the DPRK and China.
After twelve drums, the emperor and the empress dowager arrived, the ministers knelt, and the envoys of the Northern Night Kingdom entered, and after a high-sounding opening speech, they officially entered the theme.
The fourth and fifth princesses secretly pulled their hands under the table, indicating that they would work together. Gao Jinyun, the seventh princess who was sitting obediently, suddenly leaned her head and asked Jinshu: "Sixth sister, will you go later?" ”
"I'm not going." Jin Shu replied.
"That's good. My mother said that the exam questions must be very difficult this time! It's great if you don't go! "The seventh princess has a weak and kind personality, she doesn't like to talk, and she likes the same brocade book with few words on weekdays.
The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.
While the two of them were talking, Yu Wenbai had already said a few nonsense words and began to show the topic.
The first question says that an old man in the country of the North Night left a suicide note after his death, leaving his seventeen horses to his three sons. It is required that the eldest son shall have half of it, and the two sons shall have one-third of it, and the third son shall have one-ninth of it, and shall not kill the horse. The three sons had no way to divide the horses, quarreled endlessly, and finally made trouble to the yamen, but it was still not resolved. Q: How do you divide the horses?
Yu Wenbai bowed and saluted: "Back to the emperor, this question examines whether the woman is smart, please all the princesses and young ladies here to say the solution, and the first to say the solution will get a chip." ”
Everyone was stunned, this was not expected at all? Shouldn't you test poetry and song for female red embroidery? The four princesses were dumbfounded, this question is unconventional?
Concubine Zhen was anxious and scolded in a low voice: "Phew! Nonsense, a total of seventeen horses, and not allowed to kill the horses, how could the eldest son get half of them? Where is there such a father, embarrassed for his children, disrespectful for the old! ”
Jin Shu sighed in his heart, where is this trouble in their Northern Night Country? This is obviously an interesting problem in 21st century math books! She looked at Qin Yuhe with some excitement, eldest sister, this is a question of our time, answer it quickly!
Sure enough, Qin Yuhe's face was a little excited, but he was a little hesitant, the expression on his face was entangled for a while, and he refused to raise his hand to answer.
No, this Qin Yuhe is a math scumbag, right? Jin Shu sighed badly!
Yu Wenbai looked around, and none of the young ladies stood up to answer. Everyone was whispering and deliberating with each other.
The fifth princess pulled the fourth princess and asked in a low voice, "Fourth sister, how should this be?" ”
The fourth princess bit her lip, her face a little embarrassed.
The emperor and the queen exchanged glances, and the sword and sword shadows pushed each other for a while, and finally the queen was defeated, and asked with a smile: "The prince of the Northern Night Kingdom, can you ensure that this question is correct?" ”
"Back to the queen's mother, Yu Wenbai guarantees with his life, and there is a solution to this problem." Yu Wenbai said with a bit of pride in his tone, and said deliberately: "I heard that there are many talents in the Great Liang Country, and it is difficult for you to come to this question, I don't know if the princesses and young ladies have the answer?" ”
The second princess stood up suddenly, and said in an unhappy tone: "I see that you are deliberately making trouble!" Since ancient times, women have been inspected, mainly female red qin chess, what is your intention to come up with such a tricky topic? ”
"The second princess is angry." Yu Wenbai saluted and said unhurriedly: "This question is not difficult, it needs to be solved skillfully, this question is used to test whether the woman is smart, Yu Wenbai thinks it is appropriate, if the princess finds it difficult, she can change ......"
"Jinlan, don't be unreasonable!" The emperor hurriedly stopped the second princess from losing her temper, and the Liang people couldn't do the question themselves, but complained that the question was difficult, and they had no face to say it! He laughed, "No need. As the saying goes, there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there is a specialization in the arts, even if it is a clever solution, it must be inspired. Yu Wenbai, you might as well talk about the next topic, we can do it together when the time comes, how about it? ”
Yuwenbai accepted it when he saw it, and ordered his younger brother Yuwenqiao to present the second question.
The second question was brought up by the Minister of the Northern Night Kingdom. The large wooden board is divided into two versions, one version is the Sudoku of the 9981 square grid. The first version solves the two-way equations of one quadratic and one cubic cubic equations.
Yu Wenbai said unashamedly: "Your Majesty, this is the second question, to examine whether a woman is shrewd, marrying a wife must be entrusted with the middle feed, take care of the housework, and it must be good to count." There are two types of questions in this question, you can choose one of them. The specific requirements are written on the title board, Nan'er, you read it to everyone! ”
Yu Wennan stood up and read aloud the improved version of the request. Jin Shu's jaw is about to fall, in comparison, the first question is just an appetizer! This Mr. Dongxu is too ruthless!
At this time, Qin Yuhe's face was pale and he completely stopped eating. Jin Shuxin said: "It's over, it's over, it's over, Daliang has been abused." Qin Yuhe should be a liberal arts student, but this Mr. Dongxu is a science student! ”
Everyone was anxious for a while, you look at me, I look at you, staring at you with big eyes, where is this Northern Night Country going to pick a daughter-in-law, is it obvious that she is here to slap her face?
The eldest princess couldn't stand it anymore, and secretly scolded: "It's just nonsense!" ”
Zheng Wenke was very interested, asked the little eunuch to get a pen and paper, and began to do Sudoku.
As soon as Yu Wenbai saw this posture, he applied to the emperor for the third question.
Jin Shu thought of what Yu Wennan said that day, and wondered if it should be an English translation, right? Now, Qin Yuhe should always know, right?
As a result, when the questions are submitted, the brocade book is going to run away. A wooden board is divided into three pages, and it is a translation, yes, but not English, and looking at the handwriting, it looks like Spanish, French, and German. What it is, it's too far away, and she can't tell it.
Yuwen Bai said: "Emperor, the third question examines whether the woman is knowledgeable and talented, this is his Chinese language, in three languages, it is a story that our people are familiar with, and the princess and young lady present can tell the title of this story." ”
Three questions in a row, as if like three slaps, the four princesses who hit it swelled into an eggplant, and the emperor couldn't help but slap the table!
It's a naked fucking humiliation! What kind of bullshit is this? Is there an answer? What a humiliation! He just wanted to lose his temper, but he saw Yu Wenbai holding a small envelope and said, "Your Majesty, the above are all the questions this time, and the answers are in this envelope." To be the woman with the most correct questions, I will be ten miles of red makeup in the Northern Night Country, and one hundred and eighty dowry gifts will greet you. ”
The emperor was speechless.
Everyone began to talk about the topic: "This is too difficult, isn't it?" ”
"yes, we haven't heard anything foreign!"
"How is this supposed to be?"
"Oops! It's so embarrassing that we can't do a single question! ”
The emperor's face was pale, but he was helpless, and he looked around at his relatives and relatives of the military generals, and finally raised his hand to drink a glass of wine.
Oops, I knew that I wouldn't marry this family, and I wouldn't want their annual tribute!
At this time, I saw Qin Yuhe gritting his teeth and Shi Shiran got up: "Your Majesty, the courtiers want to go and see the third question." ”
Everyone looked over, and even the emperor's eyes lit up: "Yes, you can go and see!" "It's better to make it, and I'll lose a little less people!
At this moment, even the second princess, who had never been used to Qin Yuhe, stopped shaking her fan and stared at her.
Qin Yuhe carried the expectations of the entire Liang and walked to the third question board, and then, Jin Shu saw that Qin Yuhe's face became more and more ugly.
She won't. For a normal modern person, learning English is common, but it is rare to learn other languages. Qin Yuhe will not be normal.
After Qin Yuhe saluted awkwardly, he retreated. Everyone was surprised, the famous talented women in the capital can't, so don't think about it! For a while, no young lady dared to try again.
At this time, Yu Wenbai showed a surprised expression that had been premeditated for a long time: "Could it be that I can't solve the problem?" Can't you all do it? No, it won't...... This ......" his face was incredulous, full of "guilt".
At this moment, Shen Zhizhang, the head of the capital's gentlemen, couldn't sit still, he had been stopped by his brother on a chair and not allowed to come out in the morning, and he was already suffocated. Hearing him, he snorted coldly: "The ruler is long, and the inch is short." You Northern Night Kingdom have racked your brains to come up with questions to test our weak women who don't leave the house, and you're embarrassed to pretend here! But what did a gentleman do? ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor was happy! Attaboy! This sentence speaks to my heart!
Deng Chang also said loudly: "That's it!" Our Daliang women have always been gentle and virtuous, what is the use of these topics? If you feel that you are stumped by these questions, just say that our girls are stupid, then I Deng Chang will fight with you with a gun, and if you lose, I will say that you men in the Northern Night Country are weak, so can it be done? ”
Yu Wenbai choked: "You! ”
The second princess had never felt that her colt was so domineering, and looked at Deng Chang with admiration at the moment: "The colt is right!" ”
The crown prince Gao Jinche hurriedly said: "The great prince of the Northern Night Kingdom, the lonely king sees that what General Deng and Shen Er Gongzi said makes sense, your question is indeed a little biased, and it is not the strength of our Daliang people." Besides, if you choose a wife in such a way, how can you choose a wise and virtuous one? ”
Zheng Wenke has become familiar with Yu Wenbai in the past few days, and he also came forward to persuade: "We are Liang, and we all see if the girl will be a female celebrity when we marry a wife, and we will teach our husbands and children in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting." Girls who can do your questions may not know these things, don't you say? ”
For a while, everyone opened their mouths to persuade him, and Yu Wenbai couldn't get off the stage.
At this time, Yuwenqiao whispered a few words in his ear, looked at Yuwenbai's face tightened, thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, princesses, it's better to be like this." The above three questions are in one day, if someone can make two questions, I will obey the emperor's arrangement and marry the fourth princess, how about it? ”
