Chapter 118: There Is No Fairness Here
The foreigners went around the field and distributed the stones on the plates to everyone present, and the "pigeon egg", which was the size of an adult's finger belly, was placed on the table of the king of Zhennan.
The generals looked at the objects in their hands with novelty and exchanged their heads.
"This thing is really good-looking, and it's not much better than the Yunyu of Southern Qi!"
"Hey! Look, under the candle flame, there are colorful lights! β
Wen Yuli smiled slightly, weighing the gem in his hand, "This is the treasure that Mr. Lei brought from the South Seas, guess what its name is, which one is right, the biggest one in the hands of this king will be rewarded to him!" β
Everyone was instantly interested, and they made a lot of noise.
"This thing is crystal clear, it must be called a spar!"
"Fart, something from Nanyang must be called Nanyang jade!"
β¦β¦
But no matter what name everyone said, the king of Zhennan above just smiled and shook his head, obviously everyone's answer was not correct.
"Chen'er, tell me about it."
Wen Chen smiled slightly, isn't it just a diamond, this thing is also relatively rare in this era.
"Back to my father, this treasure is carbon, or it can also be called Diamond!"
As he spoke, he glanced at Reddick, who was smiling and silent.
Reddick looked surprised when he heard this English word, obviously he didn't expect Wen Chen to really know this thing, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up!
But Wen Guan, who was sitting opposite, sneered and stood up, "Third brother, everyone knows that you are a scholar, but you can't talk nonsense with your eyes open!" β
"If the record in the book is correct, this gem is a precious ore produced in the Nanyang vein, called diamond, but it is not the third brother's charcoal fire on weekdays!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience burst into laughter.
Everyone thought that their guess was outrageous enough, but they didn't expect that this Third Highness would guess a "charcoal", and deliberately pretend to be serious, which is really embarrassing!
Even Wen Yuli couldn't help but sigh softly.
His youngest son is much more stupid than he imagined, even if Emperor Jingren is really old and confused, he can't test himself with this kind of goods, right?
Wen Chen's face did not change, and he said softly, "This is carbon, but you don't understand it now." β
When everyone heard this, they laughed even louder, leaning forward and closing back one by one, they had never seen such a brazen person, and they didn't know it.
Concubine Chen also pulled her son's sleeve with a weak heart, and said softly, "Chen'er, don't be in the limelight......"
Reddick on the side thought that everyone was cheering for Wen Chen, and they also clapped their hands in congratulations.
βYesοΌ YesοΌ GoodοΌ β
It was even mixed with a non-standard official saying, "Persimmon New Zealand!" β
In the laughter, only Lu Youzhi frowned slightly, and looked at Wen Chen with a calm expression with some puzzlement, and he should be the only one present who noticed the Xiyi language behind Wen Chen, although he didn't understand what it meant, but the demeanor and behavior of Reddick and the others were obviously not mocking this new prince, but with a touch of admiration in their eyes.
Wen Yuli raised his hand and pressed it gently, and threw the pigeon eggs on the table into Wen Xin.
"Reward!"
Wen Guan's face was happy, "Thank you, father!" β
A smile froze on Reddick's face, and he stood up suddenly, pointed at Wen Chen with one hand, and looked at King Zhennan in confusion, "Why?!" β
This small program with an entertaining atmosphere was originally discussed by Wen Yuli and him, but now that Wen Chen guessed the name of the gem, why did he give the reward to Wen Guan?
One of the generals below obviously misunderstood Redick's meaning, and laughed teasingly, "Mr. Lu, tell this golden retriever that his horse didn't shoot the right person, and the eldest prince is the main one, hahahahahaha!" β
Lu Youzhi's expression changed, and he struggled for a while before waving his hand, "No why, Sit down!" β
Reddick frowned, sat down stupidly, and muttered, "That's not fair!" β
Wen Chen turned around and replied with a grin, "There is no fairness here." β
There is no fairness here, it is just a matter of status, seniority and seniority.
Immediately afterwards, a second treasure was presented.
In the tray, a wooden stick the length of a rolling pin lay quietly, one thick and the other thin, and the shape looked very strange.
King Zhennan smiled and said, "The old rule, whoever guesses right, the baby belongs to whom." β
At this time, Wen Yue, who had finally emptied his stomach, rushed over when he heard the news, glared at Wen Chen on the side, held the wooden stick in the tray in his hand, and played it!
This stick seemed to come to life in his hand, dancing and dancing, and everyone applauded!
There is even a sycophant who said loudly:
"This kind of weapon can only exert its true power in the hands of His Second Highness!"
Wen Yue snorted, and the stick in his hand fell violently to the side, pointing directly at the top of Wen Chen's head, so frightened that Concubine Chen couldn't help but exclaim.
"Don't!"
The wooden stick stopped abruptly, less than three inches from Wen Chen's scalp.
"Third brother, don't be afraid, when you have time, the second brother will teach you a few more kung fu, this stick is too short, it's not easy to use, why don't you give it to you?"
Wen Chen raised his eyelids lazily, as if he had just come back to his senses, took the "stick" in his second brother's hand, fiddled with it a few times, and suddenly got up and walked towards the door.
"Why did these three highnesses run away?"
"It's not like I'm scared to pee my pants and go back to change my clothes, right?"
"Hahahaha......"
Unexpectedly, Wen Chen listened to the door, picked up the stick, and pointed one end to his right eye and the other to the sky.
"Father, look, the moon is so round today!"
"This treasure is really amazing, something so far away, you can see it clearly!"
Damn, it's really tiring to pretend to be stupid, and you have to keep mobilizing your emotions......
If you look at a broken telescope, you have to pretend that you have never seen the world!
Everyone was stunned, isn't this a weapon?
A man with five big and three thick walked out, couldn't help but say, snatched the "stick" in Wen Chen's hand, and said with a sigh of urn, "Let the last general take a look!" β
When I looked at the mirror, the full moon in mid-air seemed to be close in front of me, and it was huge!
He was so scared that he almost threw the baby out.
"Grass! What a wicked thing! β
Fortunately, Wen Chen's eyes were quick, so he hurriedly caught it, looked back at his father, and smirked, "Father, since this precious mirror can see so far, why don't you call him a telescope!" β
Wen Yuli tilted his head and touched his chin, he really made this kid right!
Even Wen Yue, who had deliberately provoked before, couldn't help but step forward to test it, and when he learned the true use of this treasure, he couldn't help blushing, and returned to his seat without saying a word.
"This thing is indeed called a telescope, Chen Er is really a good skill!" Wen Yuli clapped his hands lightly, only thinking that this kid's blind cat touched the dead mouse, and didn't pay much attention to it.
"Reward!"
"Thank you, Father, for the reward!"
Wen Chenxi smiled, looking like a villain, holding binoculars everywhere to show off to the embarrassed generals present, and in the end, Lu Youzhi couldn't stand it, and proposed to quickly present the third treasure, which persuaded him to go back.
Unlike the first two delicate objects, the third gift from Reddick was carried up by seven or eight men with big shoulders and round waists, and was more like a large wooden box more than half a man tall and with four wooden legs.
Boom β
Buzz β
The wooden box fell to the ground, and there was a sharp sound of metal colliding.
Wen Yue's face changed, and he jumped out with a thud, blocking in front of King Zhennan's table.
"Father, be careful, there are assassins in this box!"
