The old gentlemen looked at each other, and still didn't understand why Fang Shuhan respected Ye Xingyuan's words. There are still people who are clever, and when they mention Ye Xingyuan's words, they also tremble, but they hear the sound of a whirl, just like a wildfire is lit and the flames are flying!

The person holding the calligraphy was startled and almost threw the calligraphy out of his hand, but fortunately, the flames flew but there was no heat, and it did not burn his hands, and it was disappearing immediately.

I saw that the words on the paper were moving like villains, the wildfires burned out, the fields were cultivated, everything grew, and the vicissitudes of the sea were born. Although it was only for a moment, it seemed to have gone through thousands of eons. The meaning is not in the text, but in the words. If Fang Shuhan's words have a climate, then Ye Xingyuan's words have a charm.

Ye Xingyuan himself was taken aback, and then looked at his pen, comparing the inscription, and suddenly realized in his heart. He stretched out his hand to support Fang Shuhan and said, "It's also an accident that I can write such words, let me write it again, I can't." Your eyes are like torches, and your hands and eyes are equal, this is the correct way of calligraphy, and I am far inferior to you. ”

After all, he is not a native of this world, and there is no shackles and shackles in his heart, and when he writes the letter, it resonates with the deviant meaning in the inscription, and he can play a little trick on paper.

But this kind of thing can no longer be done, and you can't think that you are leading in calligraphy, you can only say that your spiritual realm is broader, and you can only show a more perfect vision by investing in calligraphy. This in itself is also a huge advantage that I have crossed, and I usually don't care about it, but it is revealed in this small detail.

Fang Shuhan listened to Ye Xingyuan's humility, and he was even more ashamed in his heart, only to feel that he had eyes and didn't know Mount Tai at the beginning, he was really embarrassed, and apologized repeatedly, saying that he had to drink and apologize.

Ye Xingyuan had no choice but to agree and walk out with him. Of course, this level has passed, the dragon fought before, and finally cherished each other, which can be a good story. The two of them got out of the cabin and disembarked at the same time, causing thunderous cheers.

Lu Wei was so impressed that he followed behind Ye Xingyuan and sighed to Ouyang Ziyu: "I think now that my cousin can do anything other than not having children."

Ouyang Ziyu pursed her lips, wanting to show her disdain. But thinking that he hadn't done a little help in the whole two levels, and that he had relied on Ye Xingyuan to conquer the world by himself, he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in his heart. It's just that he refuses to forgive, "This may not be, maybe you and I will need to help you and me in the next level!"

Fang Shuhan pulled Ye Xingyuan off the boat, passed through the lively and cheering crowd, went to the restaurant, and joined Tang Shiyan and others. Tang Shiyan and the others had already heard that Fang Shuhan had trouble with Ye Xingyuan before, and when they saw his convincing appearance now, they all laughed.

After Tang Shiyan talked about the interesting story of meeting Ye Xingyuan at the Lu family that day, Fang Shuhan realized that this senior had also looked away, and he was relieved. It's no wonder that they don't know the goods, but Ye Xingyuan's performance is too rebellious sometimes?

Later, several talented people took out the calligraphy of the nine poems recorded by Ye Xingyuan, Fang Shuhan couldn't put it down, and couldn't help but blame his friend for not showing it to him earlier, causing him to make a fool of himself on the boat.

Others are poems, but Fang Shuhan is even more aware of Ye Xingyuan's words. These fonts are fresh and unique, and although they are not yet mature, they have already had a good atmosphere, and sooner or later they will become a family of their own. Fang Shuhan couldn't let it go when he saw it, and said that he wanted to buy it with a lot of money.

Ye Xingyuan couldn't help him, so he had to agree to two words of 100 gold, and Fang Shuhan was very excited, and drank a few more glasses.

Tang Shiyan thought of something and said with a smile: "Speaking of buying with a lot of money, Brother Ye Xian can't help it now. We spend time and effort on calligraphy and painting, even when we meet people who know the goods, we only sell for twenty or thirty gold. Today, there are rumors outside the world that Brother Ye Xian's arithmetic draft on the ship yesterday has been fried to twenty taels of silver per page, which is simply a windfall falling from the sky!"

Ye Xingyuan looked back at Lu Wei, Lu Wei's heart was pounding, and he couldn't believe his ears. It's still ten taels in the morning, which is already an unimaginable sky-high price, which is not yet noon, and it will be twenty taels all of a sudden. Then, according to this increase, wouldn't the twenty-four pages of drafts hidden in his bosom be worth a fortune sooner or later?

He only thinks about making money, and his mouth is dry. Ye Xingyuan thought deeper, why was the draft he used so high? Who received the goods behind his back?

This thing is not like a work of calligraphy and painting, such as his calligraphy at the Oiran meeting today, which has its artistic value and can also be preserved for future generations. In the future, if you have a reputation or a high position, then the work will also have room for appreciation.

What is the value of credible hand-written drafts? There are also people who earn in batches, what is the strange thing? Ye Xingyuan turned his head and asked Tang Shiyan, "Do you know who is going to accept my draft? This matter is a little confused, and I always feel that something is wrong." ”

Tang Shiyan said: "As far as I know, the person behind the scenes who wants to receive your draft is Deacon Xu on Ding Huakui's painting boat. He offered a price of twenty taels, and everyone naturally went to the market with him, if it weren't for the fact that your ghost paintings were not easy to imitate, I was afraid that the fakes on the market would be flying all over the sky now. ”

Is it the Oiran who wants to collect his own draft? Could it be that the beauty is looking down, so that he loves the house and Wu and spends a lot of money? Ye Xingyuan shook his head, there is no such good thing in the world, since the other party has this action, it must also have a specific purpose.

Ye Xingyuan carefully recalled the details of the two levels of this Oiran Conference, and faintly felt that something was wrong. However, he had never personally experienced the Oiran Conference before, but he had just seen it from the Fuzhi, although he felt that this issue of the Oiran Conference was different from the previous ones, but he couldn't say the details, so he could only ask Tang Shiyan and the others again.

When Tang Shiyan heard Ye Xingyuan's question, he thought about it for a while, and sure enough, he felt that something was wrong. On weekdays, the Oiran Conference is nothing more than singing and dancing, and the test is just more colorful, but this time the exam questions of the conference are too serious.

On the first day, it was a strange arithmetic, and on the second day, the calligraphy used in the remnant inscription was even more unknown, and they were still discussing the deep meaning contained in that text, and they all felt that it was a little different, but it was not in line with orthodoxy. Where did this female Oiran come from? What is her origin?

At this time, Fang Shuhan also interjected: "If I guessed correctly, this time the Oiran should be from the southeastern outer region. ”

This calligraphy nerd suddenly spoke, Ye Xingyuan was also stunned, and hurriedly asked, "How did Brother Fang know?"

Fang Shuhan nodded and said, "I tasted the question of herding cattle in the Heavenly Court yesterday. This question is popular on a large island in the southeast, and it is said that it is a monument for gods and men to test the local barbarians. Inscription I have asked someone to rub the inscription, across the sea to bring back, although I have not counted the question, but the text remembers, the words are dense like a bead chain, quite interesting. ”

As a calligraphy maniac, of course, famous inscriptions everywhere have to find a way to get their hands on them, and Fang Shuhan doesn't care about this Tianting cattle herding problem, but the font is remembered clearly.

"The southeastern regions are all barbarians, how can they come to my Hanjiang Mansion to compete for the Oiran?" Isn't it that they can't do this problem, and they want to find me a talented person in the Central Plains to solve it?" Tang Shiyan laughed and quipped, "This makes sense, Xiao Ye solved this problem, but I am afraid that I will be snatched back by this barbarian Oiran to be my son-in-law." ”

Barbarian customs are peculiar, there is no distinction between men and women, men can marry wives, women can also marry husbands, show their heads, without shame. I heard that the custom of robbing relatives is also quite popular, and it is said that both men and women, if they fancy it on the road, they will be knocked out with a stick, and they will drag people home to get married, Tang Shiyan used this to scare Ye Xingyuan.

"Not really. Fang Shuhan added, "The first half of this question has a solution, and my inscription rubbing also has the answer of people in recent times, but the word is unsightly, and I haven't looked at it carefully before."

I also compared it when I went home last night, and the difficulty of this question has not yet been written, and there is one less condition for our question, if it is added, the total should be five thousand three hundred and eighty-nine thousand and eighty-two, but this number cannot be calculated in one day."

Ye Xingyuan recalled that after the end of the competition yesterday, the old deacon sent a message from the Oiran and felt the same way. At that time, he thought that after adding a condition, the amount of calculation would definitely increase greatly, and Fang Shuhan's answer was not far from his estimate.

In fact, this solution is not difficult, the difficult thing is the calculation, and he is not good at using an abacus, if there is no calculation tool, this order of magnitude of calculation makes people dizzy. If he cooperates with Zhang Gongzi's two bookkeepers, he may be able to greatly improve efficiency.

"But that's not where the problem lies. Fang Shuhan was interested, and said: "The last two conditions are the reason why no one has solved this problem in the southeast for thousands of years. ”

He held up two fingers and smiled, "One is that black and white oxen are gathered in one place, which can be arranged in a square shape. The second is the gathering of brown and yellow cattle, which can be arranged in the shape of a regular triangle. When the inscription came, Mr. Miao happened to be a guest at my house, and I showed him on a whim, but he thought about it for a long time, but finally said that it was impossible to count and retreated."

Ye Xingyuan was shocked, knowing that these two conditions can be called extremely powerful! If the total number of black and white oxen is a square number, and the total number of brown and yellow oxen is a triangular number, then it is not a matter of a few days or months to find out this large number among the vast numbers.

I don't know if those barbarians can figure it out, anyway, Ye Xingyuan asked himself, even if he had already had a preliminary study of this topic, he was really not interested in continuing to go deeper.

Tang Shiyan frowned at this time, "The teacher Miao that Brother Fang Xian said is Miao Changfeng, who was recruited into the Qintian Prison Keqing? He can't calculate this problem? If that barbarian can calculate this problem, the way of arithmetic is really not weak!"

He was an arithmetic wizard in the province, and when he was young, he was able to calculate the calendar and infer the eclipse of the sun and the moon. Later, when he was older and his algorithm was more refined, he was recruited by Qin Tianjian three years ago and summoned to Beijing. If even he can't figure it out, but the southeastern barbarians can find a solution, wouldn't it mean that the barbarians' arithmetic method has actually surpassed that of the Central Plains?

Fang Shuhan didn't care, "It's Teacher Miao Changfeng." Arithmetic is a small way, and the barbarians are obsessed, so they will not change their minds for thousands of years to calculate it. A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one, and he doesn't have to care. ”

Ye Xingyuan and Tang Shiyan glanced at each other, but the two of them couldn't let go, and they had deeper doubts about this Oiran Conference.
