Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight games among scholars(1/2)

Wu Qingmei did not refuse, but still asked: "I wonder what Brother Yun is good at?"

There is no need to ask Miss Yulan for her opinion. In the final analysis, she is just an escort. It is her duty to make the guests happy. There is no such thing as overshadowing the guests.

Faced with the problem of Wu Qingmei, Yun Jingxin said that I am good at Zhao Yun and jungle thieves, but it is a pity that I can no longer play...

Having said that, people in this era are really lacking in entertainment activities. In such a scene, flying flower orders, drinking orders, etc. are one of the few entertainment activities, or they can recite poems and write poems, but Yunjing can't say that.

If you are good at this, you will have fewer choices.

They are here to have fun. They can't sing and play music for others' entertainment, let alone draw and paint. How much time will it take? Besides, playing chess is not bad, but a game of chess takes who knows how long.

Thoughts flashed in his mind, Yun Jing smiled and said: "As long as it has nothing to do with poetry, lyrics and songs, I don't care."

As for entertainment, it's not like we have to decide the outcome, so Yunjing's attitude is very casual. He doesn't dare to say that he is proficient in all kinds of entertainment in similar situations, but he can still play almost all of them.

Miss Yulan was very good at livening up the atmosphere, but she also knew how to measure. At this time, she helped Yunjing pour the wine and looked at Wu Qingmei curiously, guessing what kind of entertainment the other party would propose.

Wu Qingmei thought for a while and said: "I'm tired of playing ordinary mini-games. They have no freshness and no interesting features. How about we compare our memory?"

Than memory?

Yun Jing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, thinking that we have a photographic memory, are you sure it's better than this?

Then Yunjing quickly realized that Wu Qingmei's so-called memory comparison was definitely not as simple as he thought, so he curiously asked: "How to compare?"

Wu Qingmei drank a small glass of wine leisurely, and then said: "It's not about on-the-spot memory, but about what we have seen and learned before. However, considering that our family and country backgrounds are different, what we learned must be very different."

It’s big, so there has to be a range, let’s set it within the range of the classics left by the sages..."

After saying this, Wu Qingmei paused and said apologetically: "Brother Wei is a little older than Brother Yun. This seems to be a bit of an attempt to bully Brother Yun. I wonder if you are interested?"

Sure enough, it's not as simple as I thought. If I understand it, it's probably about comparing who has accumulated more. In such a game, if age is taken into consideration, Yunjing will indeed suffer, but he has read so many books?

To be honest, this kind of game tests a person's erudition. Scholars not only study the classics of their own country's sages, but also learn the excellent knowledge of other countries. Otherwise, when you become an official in the future, how will you communicate with people from other countries? And rule.

If the person who committed the crime comes from another country and does not understand the culture of that country, how can he solve the case?

There is a word to describe scholars called erudition, which is reflected here. A truly erudite person never has stage fright, and has literature from all over the world at his fingertips. Of course, if you want to have such erudition, you can’t do it without some family background and connections. After all, there are many classics that ordinary people can’t read.

It's too difficult to get.

Yun Jing smiled and said: "Just follow what Brother Wu said, it's just for entertainment, it doesn't hurt if you can't answer it."

"In that case, let's compare our memories." Wu Qingmei nodded and confirmed.

In fact, she was a little careful when she raised this point. Through this game, she can roughly understand how much ink Yunjing has in his stomach. Generally, people who don't have much ink in their stomachs don't even dare to play this game. After all, they can't answer the question.

How embarrassing?

Nodding, Yunjing asked: "What are the specifics? There must be a rule."

"This is just a little game we came up with. As for the rules, how about this? We recite a paragraph or a sentence from the classics, and then ask people to answer the source. Those who can't answer will get a glass of wine, how about it?" Wu Qingmei

smiled.

Yun Jing smiled and said, "Okay, that's it."

In fact, this game is quite interesting. It not only tests memory, but also reflects a person's background. It doesn't take long and you can play a round very quickly.

Moreover, Yunjing was also curious about the depth of Wu Qingmei's eyebrows. Although she knew that she was a woman, she could represent the Sanluo Dynasty and suppress the Dali students from the south. She must have outstanding knowledge.

After the discussion, Yunjing did not forget that there was a girl named Yulan beside him. He turned around and asked her: "Is girl Yulan interested in participating?"

"It's good that the two distinguished guests are happy. Although I don't dare to compete with talented people like you, this game is quite interesting. I am a little girl. I hope the two gentlemen will not bully the little girl too much." Miss Yulan

Laughed softly.

As an escort, she has no right to refuse. If she cannot make her customers happy, then her professional skills are not good enough, which will be a big blow to her reputation as the top brand of Baihua Pavilion.

But, since she is the number one in Baihua Pavilion, she is also outstanding in knowledge. After all, most of the people who come here are talented people. How can I fool all the talented people with just two brushes?

Even for this game, Miss Yulan is a little eager to try it. She has seen too many idiots relying on their status, and she also wants to show off her knowledge.

In an environment like a brothel, where can one learn to excel in martial arts?

The three of them decided to play this 'competition' memory game, and they were all very interested. They seemed to have forgotten that there was supposed to be a laurel girl to accompany them, so there was no need to bring up such a small thing that affected their mood.

Wu Qingmei smiled and said: "Then which one of us will be the first to offer advice?"

"Brother Wu is the host, so you should come first," Yun Jing said politely.

Miss Yulan also said: "Both of you are distinguished guests, so the little girl will not show off her ugliness."

Nodding, Wu Qingmei did not refuse any more. She had a strong character, so she said: "In that case, let me go first. I will ask Brother Yun and Miss Yulan respectively. Those who can't answer have a drink and ask.

After finishing two people, ask someone else.”

After saying this, she paused, looked at Yun Jing and said: "Brother Yun, listen carefully, 'Early winter, wild, looking north, blue, coyote, He Liang, snow peak', this passage comes from that book

Book?"

Yunjing raised his eyebrows. Wu Qingmei had a little trouble getting through it right away, but she seemed to have taken good care of herself. The question she asked was actually a sentence from the classics left by the Dali Dynasty.

Yun Jing almost didn't need to think about it, and quickly matched the source of this sentence in his mind, so he said: "This sentence comes from the book "Stars", which was re-edited by Master Qiu about 500 years ago.

The forty-sixth leaf of the third volume of the latest Dynasty revised edition of the classics, among which the blue and the coyote...respectively represent the stars in the northern night sky of the world in early winter."

Wu Qingmei was not surprised that Yun Jing could answer this question. There are astrological classics in various countries, and they are very similar. They are one of the must-read books for scholars. There is a saying called stargazing at night. Observe the stars in the night sky.

It's so mysterious, but it can roughly predict the recent weather. Of course, some people who study astrology will develop in weird directions in the future. Ordinary scholars will just try it briefly to understand, so as not to be questioned by others.

Wu Qingmei nodded and said, "It's from this book. Brother Yun's answer is impeccable." After saying that, she looked at Miss Yulan.

In fact, Miss Magnolia is just incidental to this game. She only lets her come in so as not to neglect the other party. There is no need to reveal this kind of thing. She smiled and said: "Miss Magnolia, it's your turn, and listen up, 'Thousands of Feet Deep Sea'"

"There is a giant tortoise, which is shaped like a mountain. When it comes out of the sea, it is overturned by the waves.' Where does this sentence come from?"

Faced with this question, Miss Yulan thought for a moment and quickly replied: "Hui Gongzi, this sentence comes from the Great Sea Chapter in the second volume of "The Book of Hundred Beasts". It is about the strange things in the world that Master Deng collected and compiled a hundred years ago.

My little girl can’t remember the specific page of the beast’s book. I wonder if this answer is satisfactory?”

"Of course Miss Yulan's answer is correct, but I didn't expect that Miss Yulan has even read such unorthodox books." Wu Qingmei nodded and smiled, really a little surprised, but when he thought of her true artistic conception,

Not too surprising.

Then it was Yunjing's turn to ask questions.

After thinking for a moment, since Wu Qingmei was asking about the classics of the Dali Dynasty, it would be disrespectful to come and go. Yunjing looked at her and said, "Then it's my turn. Brother Wu, listen, 'There are strategies for viewing mountains.

Water, if the water is mixed, the people will lose their homes; if the water is clear, the warehouses will be full of grain.' Where did the words come from?"

After hearing this, Miss Yulan's clear peach blossom eyes were a little confused, and there was no impression of this sentence at all in her memory, not at all.

I am a little confused. Is it because I am ignorant, or is there a big gap between myself and the real talents?

On the contrary, Wu Qingmei glanced at Yun Jing in surprise, and said in astonishment: "I never thought that Brother Yun is also very familiar with the classics of the Sanluo Dynasty."

'Are there any classics from the Sanluo Dynasty? Although I have read a lot, I haven't studied Sanluo culture in depth. It's normal not to know.' Girl Yulan next to her thought in her mind, and then looked at Wu Qingmei, expecting him (her)

answer.

Wu Qingmei continued: "This passage comes from the "Liu Shui Jing" of my Sanluo Dynasty. It was written by Wangshan Zhenren four hundred years ago. This version of the book has not been changed and has been used to this day. That sentence comes from the sixth volume.

Page 63 of the Landscape Chapter talks about the middle section of the Huyue River in our Sanluo Dynasty. If the water here is turbid, there will be flooding downstream. If the water is clear, there will be a bumper harvest."

The Book of Flowing Waters is a classic book about the mountains, rivers and lands of the Sanglu Dynasty. This book has more than one hundred volumes, covering the mountains and rivers of the entire Sanluo Dynasty. Originally, this kind of book involving national geography was considered a banned book and could not be easily circulated. However, after all,

After so many years, it will always be spread. As a scholar, it is a must-read book. After all, if you lead troops to fight in the future, you will not even know the geography of other people's mountains and rivers. You can give it a hammer.

Yun Jing smiled and said: "It's this book. Brother Wu answered it in detail. It seems that Brother Wu of Sanluo Territory must have a clear understanding of it."

Wu Qing's brows said that it was more than clear in his heart, all the mountains and rivers for thousands of miles are mine...

Then Yunjing looked at Miss Yulan and said, "It's your turn next, Miss Yulan. Please listen carefully." After hearing about his wonderful talent, he wrote a poem at the age of three.

The bandits are rampant and the people are poor. The emperor rules and the people are in ruins. What's the point of being mediocre?' Where does this paragraph come from?"

Miss Yulan listened carefully and was not confused now. She quickly got the answer and said with a smile: "This paragraph comes from the ninth volume of "Book of Encouragement to Learning", which was written by Master Yang of this dynasty six hundred years ago.

He was a talented man who became an official at a young age. He was outstanding in poetry but did not understand the way of being an official. As a result, his rule was in chaos, and he was eventually punished and executed. This is to warn the world not to delay the foundation of learning with poetry."

"Yes, that's right," Yun Dingding nodded, thinking that this Yulan girl was obviously not a vase, but she still had something.

But Miss Yulan said: "Mr. Yun, you don't have to take care of me. I encourage everyone to read books and read them. The little girl also reads them often. It's better to be the same as Mr. Wu. Even if I can't answer the answer, just drink."

She was not a fool, so why didn't she feel that Yun Jing was asking about simple things? Although she understood Yun Jing's good intentions, she was still a little bit unconvinced in her heart. We brothel girls are also knowledgeable, right?

On the side, Wu Qingmei joked: "Brother Yun is taking care of the beauty. Could it be that he really wants to impress the beauty and achieve success?"

"Brother Wu is overthinking. What we are competing for is memory. If Miss Yulan can answer it, it's because she has a good memory. How can I take care of him?" Yunjing shook his head and said.

Without arguing with Yun Jing, Wu Qingmei looked at Miss Yulan and smiled: "Miss Yulan, it's your turn."

"That little girl is showing off her ugliness," Yu Lan nodded and said eagerly, then she looked at Yun Jing and said, "Master Yun, please listen carefully, 'If you are extremely dirty, you will be able to build a Toyota Toyota, if your warehouse is full, your people will be happy, and your family and country will be rich.'"

, may I ask where this sentence comes from?”

Yun Jing smiled and said: "The words and sentences are from "Nongshu", and it was newly revised last year. The forty-third volume is also the last volume, page 42. This book was not written by a certain sage, but edited by the whole country.

, what this sentence says is that in recent years, farmyard manure has appeared in Dali, grain production has increased, and the people have become rich and the country has become strong."

"I knew it wouldn't be difficult for Mr. Yun," Yu Lan laughed after hearing Yun Jing's answer.

Yun Jing said: "This book is a must-read for the imperial examination every year, especially since it was re-edited last year. It is a must-read for scholars. How could you not study it carefully? On the contrary, Miss Yulan, you actually studied this book seriously."
