Ximen Qing and Zhao Xu saw that Sima Bai was no longer in trouble, and even the sorrow when they had just drunk was relaxed, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in their hearts. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Originally, Sima Bai used the competition to release his pressure, and he had also fought this fight, although he was more aggrieved to lose, but the two moves of the duel with Ximenqing were very refreshing. He also saw his own shortcomings, and he should be calm and calm in the future, and he couldn't be in a hurry, and he couldn't become a big fat man in one bite.

The three of them returned to the pavilion, drank three glasses of wine in a row, and continued to talk about some trivial things in life, and Ximenqing would also tell some 'strange things'. Of course, what Ximenqing talked about was some common sense in later generations, but it became a strange story here. For example, Galileo's famous experiments on the Leaning Tower of Pisa - two small balls, one large and one small, fall freely and land at the same time, the Montgolfeld brothers made the world's first hot air balloon, and the friction between fur and metal causes static electricity and sticks to hair. (Common substances bind electrons from weak to strong: fur< glass< mica< wool< nylon< silk< hard rubber< metals< rosin< sulfur)

Sima Bai and Chaoxu had never heard of these experiments and theories, and they were all surprised when they heard them. The two frequently toasted Ximenqing and expressed their admiration. Ximenqing was already a little drunk, but fortunately, the alcohol content of the ancient wine was not high, otherwise Ximenqing would not dare to drink so much.

In the end, Ximen Qing was drunk and full, so he put down the wine glass. He found that whenever Sima Bai toasted himself, his face was still a little unnatural, and he was a little unconvinced, thinking that he had been defeated by his own hands twice, although he didn't say it, he still had his own stubbornness in his heart, and he refused to admit defeat.

Then I will strike you again, Ximen Qing thought stubbornly in his heart, let you know why the flowers are so red.

"I have heard for a long time that Brother Sima is both civil and military, and we have tried the force just now; Ximen Qing said as if intentionally or unintentionally.

Sima Bai is indeed dissatisfied with Ximenqing, he is the son of the prime minister, he has been practicing literature and martial arts since he was a child, and he can be described as outstanding, but he failed to compete with him twice. Now Ximenqing actually challenges himself to literature, he has dabbled in poetry and songs, and he can also be called talented in Bianliang, and is considered to be a talented person, of course, he is not afraid of Ximenqing's challenge.

"Okay! Then let's compare in literature!" Sima Bai slapped the stone table with one hand and readily agreed, "You say how to compete!" He was also generous, and directly gave the initiative to Ximenqing.

You're going to lose this time, and you're going to lose because of your arrogant mentality. Ximenqing thought in his heart, don't you know the truth of the lion fighting the rabbit and using all his strength?

"We each have three questions, poetry and songs, military tactics, and astronomy and geography. Whoever answers the answer will be credited with one point, and the last one will see who has the highest score. If it is divided, then it will be considered a draw, how about it?" Ximen Qing thought about it, afraid that he would really lose to Sima Bai, so he came to a tie, so as to leave room for each other, so as not to lose too ugly.

"That's very good!" Sima Bai gladly accepted.

Emperor Zhao Xu naturally became a referee again, he was very interested in the sparks of collision as soon as the two met, and he really hoped to see them bickering and competing every day, so that his boring life in the palace would have some fun.

"Okay, since the rules are proposed by me, then ask Brother Sima to come up with the first question first. ”

Sima Bai thought for a while and thought of a question: "The Book of Songs is a poetry work of the pre-Qin period, using the techniques of endowment, comparison and rejuvenation. Then you can tell me about the literary and artistic characteristics of the Book of Songs?"

Ximen Qing's head is big, and the ghost knows what literary and artistic characteristics it has. Such stereotypical knowledge Ximenqing didn't remember it at all in later generations, even if he remembered it at the time, now after so many years, he has forgotten it.

"If you can answer three points, even if you win. It seems that Sima Bai intends to reduce the difficulty, but Ximen Qing looks at his expression, which is obviously full of ridicule!

"This ...... This ...... "Ximenqing racked his brains and only thought of 'endowment, comparison, and xing', which was what Sima Bai said just now. Thinking to no avail, Ximen Qing was also single, and simply replied: "I don't know!"

Zhao Xu was watching the music on the side, thinking that Ximenqing raised his head with his chest up, looking confident, and knew the answer, but he came to a "I don't know", when is it also a glorious thing to 'not know'?

Sima Bai was also stunned, but when he saw Ximenqing admitting defeat, he didn't embarrass him, and said the answer himself: "I said the method of endowment, comparison, and xing just now." In addition, the Book of Songs is mainly composed of four words, four independent chapters, with neat rhymes, usually rhyming at intervals, and the rhythm is slow and slow, which well reflects the progress of action or changes in emotion......

Sima Bai talked eloquently, and it took a cup of tea to close his mouth unsatisfied, and a pair of eyes glanced at Ximenqing, looking like he was not convinced.

Ximenqing wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist, thought about the topic, and said, "Please listen to the question! The sun rises every day, and my question is: is it possible to see the sunrise at the same time in Bianzhou and Yanzhou. ”

Sima Bai didn't think about it, and replied, "Of course I saw it at the same time." "In ancient times, the perception of geography was 'the sky is round and the place is round', which is very backward.

Ximenqing picked up the paper fan placed on the stone table, fanned the wind very happily, and laughed: "Wrong!"

"You are making trouble, it is common sense that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the two places rise and set together, how can it be wrong?"

"Then let me ask you, where is Yanzhou in Bianzhou?"

"In the East of Bianzhou!"

"The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, Yanzhou is in the east of Bianzhou, the east is earlier than the sunrise in the west, of course Yanzhou must see the sun earlier than Bianzhou, and the time to breathe earlier is also early!" Although there are some tongue twisters, this is the truth.

"This ......" Sima Bai was speechless when asked, he had never considered this question, he didn't know how to refute it, he only felt that Ximenqing's analysis was indeed reasonable.

Zhao Xu was also surprised by this sunrise conclusion, and he also felt that it was very reasonable, so he said: "Then in this first game, the two of you will share it equally." "Of course it's evenly divided! None of the answers are correct, it's all zero.

"Brother Sima, please come up with the second question. ”

Sima Bai thought for a while before he said, "This question is a couplet. Listen up!" he cleared his throat, shook his head and recited, "This wood is from the mountains of firewood!"

Ximen Qing didn't raise his head, and went directly: "No!" Where has he experienced a pair in his later life, it's okay not to answer now, but if he answers wrong, he will cause them to laugh at him, so he will be ashamed.

Sima Bai smiled proudly, drank a glass of wine to himself, and said: "Because of the fire, there are many sunsets."
