Chapter 139: Unifying the Six Nations
"Damn it, damn it!" Wei Jingjing, a lady from Wei family, glanced at Huang Jue with her eyes squinted. She said without any dissatisfaction in her tone: "I also said how powerful I am, but I can't even suppress such a little nameless person. I don't care. If you can't defeat him after the Taifu Banquet begins, you won't think of entering the gate of my Wei family."
After saying that, Wei Jingjing walked straight towards the gate of Taifu.
Looking at Wei Jingjing's back, Huang Jue took a deep breath. He whispered to himself: "If it weren't for your sake, Huang Jue would have come to curry favor with you? I don't look at you, as if you were the daughter of the Wei family."
Of course, Huang Jue's words were a bit exaggerated. Although Wei Jingjing was a little fat, she was not overweight and could only be considered a member of the slightly fat world. Slightly fat is actually a relatively perfect figure.
After entering Taifu, Jiang Xia finally realized that the four major salt merchants were really rich.
When Jiang Xia was outside, she didn't feel obvious, but when she walked into Taifu, the first view was not the atrium courtyard, but a lake dug by hand. I don't know where Hu Bo's water was brought in, and she opened a secret passage to let it flow out. Jiang Xia clearly saw that it was still flowing.
The Hu Bo divided the entire playground in two halves. On the side of the door was a huge playground. A stone arch bridge connected both sides of the lake. There was also a large playground opposite, and behind the playground was the main courtyard of the atrium.
Jiang Xia once thought that his Xiaoyao Villa was big enough, but when he saw this Taifu, Jiang Xia finally had to admit that his Xiaoyao Villa was just a small villa.
There were banquets on the playground, and there were all kinds of pastries and snacks on the table. Yin Jiaojiao whispered that there were only pastries and snacks on the table. If you want to have a regular meal, you had to go through the Taihu Bridge to the opposite dam to eat.
However, to pass the Taihu Bridge, at least one of the two conditions must be met. One is to hold the Taifu salt post and you can go there directly. This kind of post is only sent to major salt merchants in Yunnan, such as her father Yin Tianhao. People like Jiang Xia who hold the Taifu scholar post must answer the question correctly before they can go there.
Jiang Xia had no intention of eating any pastries. He took Yin Jiaojiao over and saw two guards standing at the bridge. A large group of scholars surrounded him and stared at the red paper on a wooden board next to the bridge. Could anyone say a few words to the guards, and the guards shook their heads indifferently most of the time.
After Jiang Xia and Yin Jiaojiao walked over, they found that there was a title written on the red paper, "A bright moon hangs in the sky, and a lady and a talented man are in the same row. The blue waves meet at the You hour by the pool, so you can read the poems carefully without sayings."
After seeing this, Jiang Xia smiled slightly. He took Yin Jiaojiao's hand and walked to the guard and said, "I don't have any money on my body. I wonder if I can drink that good wine?"
The two guards glanced at Jiang Xia, and one of them smiled and said, "Young master is a talented man, so you can drink." After that, the two turned sideways and stood aside, pointing at the bridge with their fingers and said, "Young master, please."
Jiang Xia looked back at Yin Jiaojiao, smiled and said, "Let's go, let's cross the bridge."
Yin Jiaojiao followed Jiang Xia to the arch bridge in a daze. She couldn't help asking Jiang Xia: "Why did they let you cross the bridge if you say a few words?"
Jiang Xia said: "You don't understand this yet? I answered the question of Qiaotou right."
"Ah? How did you answer?" Yin Jiaojiao was puzzled.
Jiang Xia stopped and turned around. The scholars at the bridge were clamoring. Some people asked dissatisfiedly: "How much money did the man and woman give you just now? Why can they cross the bridge without answering the questions?"
Two guards walked past and tore off the red paper, then took out a new post from their arms, one of them said, "The young man has answered the question."
"I answered the question?" The scholars were puzzled. Several of them silently recalled Jiang Xia's words. Suddenly one of them lit up his eyes and said, "I understand, I understand. The answer is 'There is good wine to sell'."
"A bright moon hangs on the sky, which means that the characters 'Ming' and 'Tian' are just one side, and together they are the word 'you'. And the lady and talented man and the lotus are the word 'woman' and 'zi', which is the word 'good'."
"So that's it. 'Bibo Poolside' means the Bibo Poolside', which means that the characters 'Bo' and 'Ci' are as long as the radicals are radicals, that is, 'Feng'. When you are the time of You, it means that the characters 'Feng' and 'You' are combined into the character 'Ji'."
As the saying goes, one principle understands all the principles. One person gave a tip, and the rest immediately began to understand why the answer is "there is a good wine to sell". At this moment, even those who don't understand understand it, some people nodded and said, "So that's the case. If you read poetry and books carefully, you don't need to say anything. That is, you don't need to read the word "read" next to the word "speak", that is, the word "sell".
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and he looked at Yin Jiaojiao and asked, "How? Do you understand now?"
Yin Jiaojiao nodded, and her eyes turned a little shiny when she looked at Jiang Xia. The scholars standing on the bridge also clasped their fists at Jiang Xia and said, "Young master, great talent, admire me."
Jiang Xia quickly returned the gift and said modestly: "It's just luck."
After saying that, Jiang Xia took Yin Jiaojiao to the main courtyard of the atrium.
Not long after Jiang Xia and the others walked, Wei Jingjing came to the bridgehead of Taihu Bridge with her heels. She was originally going to walk over directly, but when she saw Jiang Xia and Yin Jiaojiao crossing the bridge with a chat and laugh, Wei Jingjing immediately realized that Jiang Xia had already answered the answer first.
Wei Jingjing was not in a hurry to cross the bridge. She stood at the bridge and waited for a while, and Huang Jue came over.
When Huang Jue saw Wei Jingjing, he asked in confusion: "Why are you just out of the bridge?"
Wei Jingjing pointed to the newly replaced red paper on the wooden board and said, "Cross the bridge to answer questions."
Huang Jue was slightly stunned and immediately walked over with a smile. There was a first couplet written on the red paper, titled "A crescent moon is hooked under the feet of the cloud." Then there was a blank section and a "half."
Huang Jue leaned his head and thought for a while, then reached out to the guard and said, "Bi Mo."
The guard clapped his hands, and a servant brought the pen and ink over. Huang Jue wrote below: "In front of the horse's hooves with two petals of the remaining flowers." Then he wrote: "Other half."
When the two guards saw it, they immediately smiled and said, "Young Master, Da Cai."
The two moved aside and pointed at the bridge and said, "Please, please."
Huang Jue nodded, and Wei Jingjing walked over happily and asked Huang Jue, "What the hell are you fighting? Tell me quickly and listen."
Huang Jue smiled slightly and pointed to the first couplet and said, "The crescent moon hooked at the foot of the cloud, which means that the word "moon" is below the half below the word "cloud", which is half of the word "bear", so he wrote "half".
My 'two petals in front of the horse' is the other half of the word bear. The twelve flower means that the word "flower" is not complete. As long as the word "dao", the two petals are the two "dao". In front of the horse's hooves is the 'dai', and the two "dao" characters are the other half of the word "bear" in front of the "dai", so I wrote 'other half', and they understood it at a glance."
Wei Jingjing was very happy at first, but his words "They understood it at first glance" immediately made Wei Jingjing's face become cold. Wei Jingjing said: "What do you mean? It means that two guards can understand it at first glance, and I still need you to explain it specifically, right?"
Huang Jue didn't expect Wei Jingjing to like being stubborn so much. He quickly explained: "No, no, I mean they know the answer, so they can understand it at a glance."
"Hmph!" Wei Jingjing shook her sleeves and walked directly to Taihu Bridge.
Huang Jue was stunned and hurriedly chased after him.
After crossing Taihu Bridge, the table in front of the courtyard of the atrium was indeed extremely luxurious. However, there were more than 20 tables in total, but less than half of the people were seated.
After Jiang Xia and Yin Jiaojiao found a seat to sit down, he left on the excuse of going to the cottage.
He walked all the way to the courtyard of the atrium, and finally he saw a mark. Jiang Xia followed the mark and met Han Mufeng in a forest.
Jiang Xia shouted: "Brother Han."
Han Mufeng was wearing black clothes. After seeing Jiang Xia, he immediately shook his head and said, "Brother Jiang, I didn't find the account book you mentioned."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Brother Han, you don't have to look for it anymore. I have changed my plan now. You can do something for me later."
After saying that, Jiang Xia whispered a few words to Han Mufeng.
After hearing this, Han Mufeng nodded, and then Jiang Xia rushed back to the playground in front of the main courtyard to accompany Yin Jiaojiao to eat something.
When he sat down next to Yin Jiaojiao, Yin Jiaojiao whispered to Jiang Xia: "This is a meal called Taifu Banquet. Eight people sit at each table, and at least four talented men. The people at the table set questions and test the school. In the end, those who are recognized as more powerful can go directly to Taifu inner courtyard. This time, the salt merchants who came here are all in the inner courtyard. After they arrive at the inner courtyard, they can meet them and continue to compete for their talents in front of them in order to gain appreciation."
"Haha, I hope that Huang and others will sit at our table later."
"Yes, you must sluggish the sharpness of that yellow bastard as if you were at the door."
As soon as Yin Jiaojiao finished speaking, Jiang Xia suddenly felt that the vision in front of him dim. When he looked up, he saw Huang Jue and Wei Jingjing sitting in front of him.
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, and Huang Jue also smiled. After a while, several people came. Jiang Xia and his team sat at the table.
Seeing everyone sitting down, Huang Jue said, "Let's do this, let's have a drink order. The content of the drink order must quote historical figures and events. How about it, you can eat a dish alone?"
It was obvious that this was the beginning of the move, so everyone naturally nodded.
Huang Jue smiled and said, "Then I'll show off my ugly side first. Jiang Ziya fish in the Wei River!" After that, Huang Jue took a plate of fish away.
"Uncle Qin sells horses in Chang'an." Another scholar took away the abalone juice horse lips.
"Su Ziqing's Sheep in Beihu Lake." Another scholar took away the mutton.
In a short time, the six scholars took away six plates of big dishes on the table, and the rest on the table were just some vegetables. Huang Jue looked at Jiang Xia with a smile and said, "Brother Jiang, it's actually pretty good to eat lighter."
Jiang Xia smiled slightly and said, "Qin Shihuang annexed the six kingdoms!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and brought all the dishes in front of the six people to himself. This is how it fits the meaning of the question.
Huang Jue and the other five scholars were stunned. Yin Jiaojiao laughed loudly and applauded loudly.
