Chapter 22 The Three Talents of Xuanfu
"It's not that I'm trying to humiliate them, but you look at the rules of the game. As she spoke, the woman in purple pointed to a large piece of red paper pasted on the wall not far away.
Chen Xiaomo looked at it fixedly, and saw that the rules of the competition were written on the red paper: all contestants first compose a poem or a poem, the content is not limited, and if the owner is satisfied, he can get five taels of silver. Those who receive silver can choose whether to answer the question or not. Each person is limited to three questions, and those who answer the first question correctly will receive five taels of gold, those who answer the second question correctly will receive fifty taels of gold, and those who answer the third question correctly will receive five hundred taels of gold. If the poem is not up to par or the answer is wrong, not only will the previous reward be invalidated, but also the punishment of shaving your hair must be voluntarily accepted.
After reading the rules of the competition, Chen Xiaomo looked at the woman in purple again, and was speechless. Then he turned around again, looked at the row of elegant men who were being shaved off their heads, and said with emotion: "We are all scholars, how can we bend our waists for these five buckets of rice? How can this be worthy of the parents who gave birth to us and raised us, how can we be worthy of the earnest teachings in the book of sages, and how can we be worthy of our conscience? I am really sad to see you like this!"
After listening to Chen Xiaomo's generous speech, the row of elegant people all bowed their heads and expressed repentance.
"Alright, alright, if you don't compete, you'll disappear from my sight. The woman in purple shouted, "What are you doing, cutting your hair so slowly, and you don't want to be paid!"
"You can't shave their hair...... Chen Xiaomo was about to beg hard, but he heard a shout from outside the door: "The three talents of Xuanfu have arrived!"
Everyone looked out the door, and in the crowd made way for a way, and three personable men walked in head-on. The three of them are all dressed in gorgeous costumes and holding folding fans, they are really stunning, with jade faces and flowers, like a shocking flood. And everyone looked at them with admiration and envy as if they saw a savior.
The three of them slowly walked in front of the purple-clothed woman, and one of the three of them was a big-eared humane: "Yun wants to dress and flowers, and the spring breeze blows Revlon! The girl is so beautiful, dare to ask the girl's name?" This person is the eldest of the three, named Jia Yunzhe, and he is good at showing off his literary talents on weekdays.
"Even if you are worthy of knowing my name?" the woman in purple said contemptuously: "If you participate in the competition, you must follow the rules of the competition, otherwise don't hinder me from having fun!"
"The girl is really refreshing, so if we answer the three questions correctly, can the girl have a drink with you?" said Wang Lichuan, the second of the three. This person looks like a decent gentleman, but in fact he is not only a braggart, but also a womanizer.
"Okay, this girl will promise you, I don't think anyone in the world can answer my three questions!" said the woman in purple confidently.
"Then what are you waiting for, let's start quickly!" said Cai Yuzhang, the third of the three. Compared with Jia Yunzhe and Wang Lichuan, Cai Yuzhang looks sharp-mouthed monkey gills, but his eyes are small but bright and shining, which shows that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
"Big brother, third brother, let me come first. Wang Lichuan smiled, his squinting eyes made Chen Xiaomo feel a little disgusted.
I only heard Wang Lichuan impatiently say: "When the jasper breaks the melon, Lang is reversed. Gan Lang didn't look at Lang, and turned around to hug Lang. Open the window for autumn moonlight, extinguish the candle and untie the skirt. In the smiling curtain, the body is Lan Huixiang. ”
"Come on, blast this person out for me, and beat him again!" The woman in purple pointed at Wang Lichuan and shouted: "You dare to move this kind of obscene poetry here, and only a womanizer like you will be eliminated in the first round." ”
"Girl, please calm your anger, can you give my second brother another chance?" The eldest Jia Yunzhe hurriedly stopped the family and arched his hand and said, "If I can answer all three questions correctly, can the girl raise her noble hand and let my second brother go?"
The woman in purple still looked angry, she glanced at Jia Yunzhe, and seeing the pious meaning on his face, she couldn't help but be a little soft-hearted, and then said with a straight face: "Okay, if you answer any of the questions incorrectly, the fate of the three of you will be like this!"
may be afraid that the woman in purple will regret it, Jia Yunzhe opened his mouth to chant a poem after hearing it: "Light Luo small fan white orchid, slender waist jade belt dancing veil." It is suspected that the fairy came down to earth, and looked back and smiled at Xinghua. ”
"Just now, my second brother who didn't make a mistake didn't choose to say anything, and I gave this poem to the girl, and I hope Haihan!" Jia Yunzhe said politely.
"You compare me to a fairy?" the woman in purple sneered and added, "I usually hear such words that my ears are calloused." ”
Jia Yunzhe was taken aback, and just wanted to say something, only to hear the woman in purple continue: "Although your poem has no new meaning, it can barely be regarded as your pass. ”
Hearing this, Jia Yunzhe's face turned red and white for a while, which was ugly, but he couldn't lose his identity as the "head of the three great talents of Xuanfu", so he said in a low voice: "Please ask the girl to ask the first question." ”
"Then you have to listen carefully. How many bones are there in a human body, how many parts are there, and how many bones are in each part?" said the woman in purple.
"This ...... This is obviously a medical problem, and it has nothing to do with the Four Books and the Five Classics!"
"I didn't say the scope of the topic, since you are a reader, you should read a wide range of books, if you only stick to the four books and five classics, then you can only be a frog at the bottom of the well in this life!" the woman in purple sneered.
Jia Yunzhe was so angry that he was speechless. Chen Xiaomo has been studying medicine for nearly a year, and he has long remembered the distribution of human bones, and he was about to open his mouth to solve the siege, but suddenly the voice of the third Cai Yuzhang came: "Girl, can I answer this question for my eldest brother?"
This can be your first question, but ask you to compose a poem or a poem first, and if you pass the test, you can answer the question. I hope you don't be like your unsuccessful second brother. The woman in purple said coldly.
"That's natural, the eldest brother has already praised the girl's beauty just now, so I'll write a poem with this temple fair as the title!" Cai Yuzhang said slowly: "Xiao went to Longhua for three and a half halves, and when he returned, the incense embers were full of incense." Nine knocks silently pray for all wishes, and the spirit will be everywhere in the temple. ”
"Yes, the lively atmosphere and significance of this temple fair have been in your poem, so I would like to invite you to answer your questions. The woman in purple said.
"The human body has two hundred and six bones, twenty-nine skulls, fifty-one trunk bones, sixty-four upper limb bones, and sixty-two lower limb bones. I don't know if the answer below is correct?" Cai Yuzhang said proudly.
The woman in purple was expressionless and said, "You have answered this first question correctly." I saw her take out a piece of white paper and spread it on the table, draw a regular hexagon on it with a brush, and turned to Cai Yuzhang and said: "The second question is to draw a straight line on this regular hexagon and divide it into two triangles. ”
Cai Yuzhang stared at the hexagon for a long time, then stroked the back of his head, and then tapped the folding fan, but after a while, he still had no clue.
"Since you can't answer, then don't blame me for being rude. Come on, shave the hair of these three shit talents, and then drag them out and beat them up!" The woman in purple shouted, it seemed that Wang Lichuan's obscene poems at the beginning still made her angry.
"Although the girl is beautiful, her heart is so vicious. They can't answer the question, so they laugh at it, so why bother them?" Chen Xiaomo said with a straight face.
The woman in purple came to Chen Xiaomo's side, circled around him, and then stared at him carefully for a long time, and said, "What, you also want to stand up for them?"
Chen Xiaomo was a little embarrassed by the woman in purple, and said with a red face: "It's not that I want to stand up for anyone, it's just that I don't want to see them suffer this unwarranted humiliation." ”
"Since you want to come out, I'll give you this chance. If you can succeed, I'll let them go. If you fail, you will be punished with them, and the punishment will be doubled!Don't blame my men for showing mercy!" The woman in purple said coldly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes in an instant.
Chen Xiaomo was about to agree, but Li Zhi on the side hurriedly pulled him aside and said hurriedly: "Brother Mo, I know you are smart, but that girl is eccentric, and the questions she asks must be difficult to answer, and she may deliberately make things difficult for you!
Chen Xiaomo patted Li Zhi's shoulder and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, don't worry, I have my own measure." After that, Chen Xiaomo came to the woman in purple and said, "Then I'll compose a lyric first." ”
The woman in purple didn't speak, Chen Xiaomo stared at the woman in purple carefully, and then said slowly: "The girl's shape is also like a shock, graceful like a dragon." Rong Yao autumn chrysanthemum, Huamao spring pine. It seems to be like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind. Looking at it from afar, it is as bright as the sun rising in the morning glow, and when you are forced to observe it, it is scorching like a hibiscus rising out of the waves. The fiber is heartfelt, and the fit is shortened. If the shoulders are shaved, the waist is about the same. Stretch the neck and show the neck, and the quality is exposed. Fangze has no addition, lead Huafu Yu. The clouds are ethereal, and the eyebrows are trimmed. Dan lips are bright on the outside, and Hao teeth are fresh on the inside. The brilliance of the cloth, the brilliance of the Yaobi. Xu Chaxi, who leads my eyes, is difficult to forget after a long absence. ”
"What a 'like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind'!" The woman in purple clapped her hands and exclaimed: "It seems that Your Excellency is a real person who does not show his face! I just don't know if these words are a heartfelt truth or a false compliment?"
"What I see, what I say, what I say is naturally what I think in my heart, but I don't know if the girl believes it?" Chen Xiaomo replied with a smile.
The woman in purple smiled without saying a word, but it was easy to see from that smile that she was very happy at the moment.
"Okay, then you can answer my question. The woman in purple pointed to the white paper on the table with a hexagonal shape on it.
"This question is clearly a brain teaser, how can it be used as a test question?" Chen Xiaomo said a little angrily.
"As I said a long time ago, my exam questions have no scope, and if you can answer them, you should answer them quickly, or you will step aside and prepare to be punished. The woman in purple said coldly.
