"Add another bet, you lose, return Guo Yongkui's money to him!" Tang Mingyao said.

Yu Ziqiang: "Don't mother-in-law, win me, you can do whatever you want!" ”

Tang Mingyao stopped talking.

The two sides simply decided on the priority, and Yu Ziqiang came up with the question first.

He flipped through his booklet, found a bridge stamp, and asked: "The Anji Bridge stamp in Z County, issued in 1962, who designed the bridge?" ”

Tang Mingyao didn't hesitate: "Zhaozhou Bridge, designed by Li Chun of the Sui Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,300 years, and is in the textbook of the third grade of primary school. Can you ask a difficult question? Now it's my turn to ask questions. ”

Saying that, he turned to a page at random and asked: "Yixing purple sand pottery, this stamp is a four-legged square pot of the Qing Dynasty, may I ask which dynasty did Yixing's purple sand pot originate from?" ”

Yu Ziqiang was stunned, he vaguely remembered that it was the Ming Dynasty, but he was not very sure.

Glancing at Tang Mingyao's booklet, there were four stamps in this set, and Tang Mingyao was referring to one of them. The rest of the stamps were next to it, all marked with dynasties and specific names, he glanced at it, the words were a little small, not very clear, but there seemed to be a Ming Dynasty on them, so he said: "Ming Dynasty." ”

At this time, more than ten minutes had passed since the official start of the party, and more than 20 students from each class came.

Tang Mingyao and the others, when they first clashed with Yu Ziqiang, they had already attracted the attention of others.

At this time, the two sides actually used stamps to test each other's knowledge, a round of competition, everyone was surprised, it turns out that philately has this kind of play?

Everyone unconsciously gathered around, full of interest, just like watching a knowledge competition variety show in later generations.

The first question was answered correctly by both sides, and it was Yu Ziqiang's turn to ask the question, he turned out a Chinese painting tiger stamp, and asked: "He Xiangning's painting, do you know who He Xiangning is?" ”

Tang Mingyao replied: "A modern painter and poet, Liao Zhongkai's wife, a member of the League, and after the founding of the People's Republic of China, she served as the vice chairman of our party's (defense) and political (peace) associations, and the chairman of the Women's (Harmony) Federation......"

This question is not difficult, and those with a slightly wider range of knowledge have some understanding of He Xiangning.

What's more, one year in his previous life, Tang Mingyao went to the city where his parents worked for the New Year, and he also went to He Xiangning Art Museum.

There was a sudden round of applause.

It was Hou Yan who saw him competing with Yu Ziqiang, and answered two questions in a row with great momentum, feeling relieved, and deliberately applauded to cheer him on.

On the other side, Luo Wenxi slowed down for half a moment, and also applauded.

Tang Mingyao was a little embarrassed.

In this case, don't add to the chaos.

He turned to another page and came up with a question: "This is a special stamp issued in '94, the theme is cranes, how long do cranes generally live?" The gap is within five years, and you are right. ”

This question is a bit biased, but in fact it is not as biased as the first question.

Whether you can answer it or not, it all depends on whether you have paid attention to it or not.

Yu Ziqiang knows that the crane is a symbol of longevity, similar to a turtle, the turtle can live for hundreds or thousands of years, but he really doesn't know how long the crane can live.

He thought for a moment and guessed the number: "A hundred years?" ”

Tang Mingyao said: "Wrong, the general lifespan of cranes is about 60 years, and the famous species of red-crowned cranes can only live for 20 or 30 years. ”

Yu Ziqiang's cheeks twitched.

He stabilized his mind, flipped to a Louvre stamp, and asked: "This is the Louvre stamp jointly issued by China and France last year, how many cultural relics are there in the Louvre, and which one is the most famous?" ”

Tang Mingyao said: "The Louvre has about 400,000 pieces in its collection, and it has three treasures, the Venus with the Broken Arm, the Statue of Victory and the Mona Lisa, all of which are treasures of human art and are world-famous. ”

Bang Bang Bang!

Hou Yan and Luo Wenxi applauded again.

This time, even the other onlookers around them also drummed up.

The applause was loud, which made Yu Ziqiang's face a little pale.

Tang Mingyao then asked: "Chinese mountaineering stamps, what year did the Chinese first climb Mount Everest?" ”

Yu Ziqiang: "......"

Two questions in a row won't, as long as one more question is wrong, he will lose.

He gritted his teeth and pulled out a stamp of an ancient scientist: "Zu Chongzhi invented pi, you memorize pi ......"

Hey!

There was a voice of disdain.

This is also too unparticular, asking people to memorize pi, isn't it deliberately difficult for people? I'm afraid of losing, and I don't bring this.

Tang Mingyao smiled: "I won't, I lost this question." ”

If my heart says it's difficult, I will too.

Turning a few pages in his booklet, he turned out a relatively large miniature sheet, and asked: "Zeng Hou Yi chime, I ask you ......"

He paused, deliberately stared at the other party, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It is a cultural relic of the Warring States Period, which was unearthed in 1978 in Hu#Bei#S County, and rewrote the history of world music." How many bells can be struck in this set of chimes? ”

Yu Ziqiang was stunned for a long time, racking his brains, but he still couldn't answer.

His face turned blue, and he pointed his finger at Tang Mingyao and said, "You won, but you are nothing remarkable." To be honest, your method of collecting stamps is too amateurish, and you have a collection, and insiders don't even bother to look at it! ”

Forcibly trying to save a little face verbally, he turned around, took out Guo Yongkui's money, threw it on the ground, held his philatelic book from the podium, and walked straight away.

Hou Yan shouted from behind: "Yu Ziqiang, if you dare to go to Tang Mingyao's house to find trouble, I will go back and tell my father that you are bullying me at school!" ”

Yu Ziqiang's body stiffened.

He squeezed a smile out of his face, turned back and said, "Why, I'm the most polite person." ”

The person is gone.

Everyone in the classroom breathed a sigh of relief.

Applause rang out again.

This time it was not to deliberately be annoying, everyone was half to celebrate, and half was to praise Tang Mingyao.

Hou Yan said: "You shouldn't have robbed me just now, although you won, it made him hate you." I compare with him, even if I win him, he can't do anything with me. Or we should be a little more fierce and just get rid of him. ”

Tang Mingyao smiled: "A person who has been bitten by a snake, you don't understand. ”

"What do you mean?"

Tang Mingyao said: "Let me tell you a fable." There was a man who was bitten by a snake, and since then he has suffered from a phobia of snakes, and every time he sees a snake, he has to stay away from it for fear of encountering it head-on. Once in a while, he would just close his eyes and pray for the snakes to be kind enough not to bite him. ”

"But how can a snake have a good heart, it has to bite and bite. In this way, every time he is bitten by a snake, his phobia is a little more serious......"

Then one day, he was cornered and there was no way back. At the end of the road, he realized that only by resisting can there be a way out, because there are snakes everywhere in this world, and avoiding them can never be avoided. He stepped on it with his feet, tore it with his hands, and bit it with his mouth, and although he himself was bitten all over his body, he eventually beat the snake to death. ”

"Since then, he has overcome his fear of snakes and has become a brave man."

"You say, he rose up and killed the snake that time, and he couldn't eat meat, and he was bitten all over his body, did he lose more than he gained?"

"Man, you can't be afraid of snakes all your life."

Hou Yan doesn't seem to understand.

But I generally understood that Tang Mingyao was not stupid to compete with Yu Ziqiang, he had his own reasons for doing so.

In the party, there was one less rat dropping, and the atmosphere finally became harmonious.

The students mingled with each other in pairs and exchanged stamps in their hands.

Tang Mingyao also re-engaged in it, adding more than a dozen new pieces to his philatelic book.

At the end of the show, many people waved goodbye to him in a friendly manner.

Tang Mingyao said goodbye to Hou Yan and walked back with Luo Wenxi.

In the classroom before, Luo Wenxi had been in a state of spectatorship, and at first she was very interested in watching Tang Mingyao exchange stamps with others, but after Tang Mingyao and Yu Ziqiang had a conflict, she lost interest, and she kept worrying and couldn't lift her energy.

When he left the school, Luo Wenxi suddenly said, "Lend me your stamp album for a few days." ”
