Chapter 35 'A glance'

Xue Tui, from Shaoxing, Zhejiang.
He has been extremely intelligent since childhood. He recognized his words at the age of three, wrote poems at the age of five, and was a perfect expression at the age of ten, and was admitted to the juren at the age of twelve.
What is the concept of Juren at the time? To compare it, it is roughly the current 985... In other words, he was already admitted to a prestigious university at the age of junior high school.
However, the same thing is still... things are unpredictable.
Before he was thirty, Xue Tui went to the spring exam five times. As a result, not to mention winning the top scorer, even the nomination for the Apricot List was not available once.
As he grew older and failed the exam more and more times, the voices of praise and envy around him gradually turned into ridicule and ridicule.
Generally speaking, if a person is talented for a long time, his personality will easily be distorted; after all, the few people who can adjust their mentality are, and Xue Tui is obviously not among them.
His personality began to become perverted and became alienated from his former friends...
He stayed in the door all day and studied hard day and night until he was thirty years old. He made up his mind to go to Beijing to take the final exam.
Unexpectedly, this time... he still failed.
And when he returned home, he realized that during the few months he went to Beijing to take the exam, his parents had died of sudden illness one after another; in order not to disturb him, his wife did not write a letter to tell him.
The double blow of failure and bereavement made Xue Tui unable to recover and he became seriously ill. After recovering from the illness, he was mourning at home for another three years... During this period, his family's money was gradually lost.
There is no way, people have to eat; if they want to eat, they have to find a way to go out and make a living.
But Xue Tui knew nothing but Wuwen and Mo, and could not do any physical work. So he thought: I am a juren, so it is okay to be a ruler in the county, right?
There are problems, there are big problems...
Who is Xue Tui? The "child prodigy" in the village has been the "child of other parents" as they call them since childhood. Then think about how many scholars in the village hate you?
Most scholars are rich and powerful in their families. Maybe their ancestors have officials, and maybe some "poor students" of the same level as Xue Tui have become Guan Er now... Can those people give you Xue Tui a good look?
More than a month later, I found a lot of people and contacted a lot of relationships. After spending all the money, Xue Tui, who was disappointed, finally understood one thing: he couldn't stay in his hometown anymore.
In order to support himself and his wife and children, Xue Tui had no choice but to sell his ancestral property and take his family to travel far away. After a few twists and turns, he came to Luoyang.
It was here that he met the noble man in his life, that is, the boss who is not here, who is this boss... Let's talk about Xue Tui first.
Xue Tui, who first arrived in Luoyang, made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings in the market. His business was not very good. He often came to find fault and blackmailed him. Sometimes he couldn't make a penny for several days.
That year, their family was almost always maintained by his wife's scattered income from washing and sewing. Not to mention adults, even children were hungry and full. At that time, Xue Tui often thought: his wife was once a lady of a good family with his family, but now he has fallen into this place. He is really sorry for others.
It was also during those most difficult days that Xue Tui's personality changed again and he became smooth.
Since her wife, a woman who had never washed a bowl before she was twenty-five years old, can now work until her hands are covered with mouths and calluses, why can't Xue Tui lose his expensive arrogance and self-esteem?
It was from then on that he began to write some floating poems and erotic essays that he felt vulgar in the past, and paint some erotic beauties that were more in line with the public's aesthetic... He gave up his personal pursuits and put the quality of life of his family first, using this as a motivation to pave his talents.
It was not until one day that he was attracted by the boss of Buguilou and invited him to come here to be a guest of the "Zhixian Pavilion", and that day came to an end.
It is not difficult to see from Xue Tui's experience for most of his life that he is not a worldly sour literati; although he has a proud side in his personality, he can also make way for him on appropriate occasions.
I use the popular sentences now to summarize the old Yin and Yang people.
At present, his words "It's easy to get rid of" by Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie are undoubtedly putting a secret condom on these two people. In this way, even if the whole super problem comes out in a while, it will be difficult for the other party to make excuses.
Of course, Sun and Huang are not so easy to fool... Just Xue Tui's ability to urge fire, comparing with Sun Yixie is a tiny witch.
Huang Donglai was pissed by Brother Sun all day long, but I still can't tell what Xue Tui wants to do at this moment?
"Haha... this is hard to say." After thinking for a while, Huang Donglai replied with a smile, "We should first look at what question Mr. Xue has put out to make a judgment."
"Ha!" Sun Yixie, who had just shown her face, was now proud. Hearing this, he touched Huang Donglai's arm with his elbow and smiled, "Hey, Brother Huang, this is not like you. Don't you dare to make the judgment the most?"
"Get out~" Huang Donglai was not polite when he talked to Sun Yixie. "It's okay if someone talks, why are you fucking here? Are you full of fish?"
"Hehe..." Sun Yixie smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, don't say it anymore, okay, I'll let you go in the next level, I'll watch Brother Huang perform."
The two of them chatted with swear words, which was very natural to them and there was no sense of incongruity when they said it. But if they thought about it carefully, the information leaked between the lines showed that they were already very clear about what trick Xue Tui was doing, and even had the meaning of pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust.
Xue Tui was listening, and was also secretly shocked...
In the years when he was Buguilou, he had also seen many so-called "young heroes", but most of these young people in their teens and twenties were too frank and honest, and always liked to speak loudly and fullly when encountering things... As long as they were praising them a few words, they would easily get into the trap.
However, the two boys in front of them not only have certain abilities, but also have a very experienced and unsure of dealing with people. They basically don’t pretend, and even when they are praised, they leave a way out in their responses.
Xue Tui only saw such a young man in his life, which made him feel excited.
…………
After a while, Xue Tui led the two to a study room on the second floor. There were bookshelves on all sides of the room. In addition to books, many antique calligraphy and paintings and potted decorations were also displayed. There was a table on the south side of the room, and paper, ink, pen and inkstone were prepared on the table.
As soon as the three of them arrived in the room and had not yet stood still, Xue Tui suddenly turned around and said, "Two young men, I'm just right..." He was caught off guard by the two of them. "Today, I'll ask you to look here..."
At this point, he pointed to the thing on the third floor of the bookshelf beside him at this moment.
That's right, the so-called "one glance" is actually "knowing things".
Of course, it is impossible for someone to take it out to test others to be something very common. It must be a rare treasure, and it is a rare and even unique rare treasure in the entire world. Therefore, the level of "one glance" is to test your eyesight and experience.
At this moment, what Xue pushed to Sun Yixie and Huang Dong to see was one of the many collections of the bosses of the Buguilou.
Who knew... As soon as he finished speaking, before he could show off his provocative expression, Huang Donglai looked at the thing and said, "Isn't this a telescope?"
As soon as this said, Xue Tui almost squirted out a mouthful of old blood...
The level of "one glance" can be said to be the most difficult among the three levels; "one grade" may also pass the level by guessing, and the judgment of "one words" is subjective, but the answer to "one glance" is the kind of "know you know, but you can't guess even if you don't know."
Furthermore, today Xue Tuo chose a rare thing that the boss got from overseas countries not long ago. It can be said that few people in the whole country knew what it was. Unexpectedly... the other party just stood in the distance and glanced at it, and didn't even come over to confirm it, so he directly reported the name of the thing.
"Young Master Huang... have you seen this before?" Xue Tui blurted out in surprise.
Can Huang Donglai be so clichéd by him? If you continue to talk about this topic, what can Brother Huang answer? Should he tell him that he is a time traveler? Or should he fabricate a story about the Netherlands where he has been to this universe?
"Well...he..." Huang Donglai laughed dryly, clasped his fists and bowed, "I'll forgive Huang for not telling me."
There is nothing wrong with this. People have no obligation to answer such questions that may involve personal privacy. There are also rules in the world. If you don’t want to say something, don’t talk nonsense. Just make it clear that it is inconvenient to tell me from the beginning, and it does not mean that the other party’s face is saved.
"Oh...hehe, it was Xue who was abrupt." Xue Tui also realized that he had asked Tulu very quickly. He laughed, bowed, and quickly changed the subject, "Okay, since the 'one glance' level is not difficult for you, then let's start the third level 'one word'."
According to the requirement of passing the test "at a glance", not only do you need to say the name of the item, but you also need to mention the general function of the item; however, Xue Tui did not propose mental retardation requirements such as "Please ask Mr. Huang to tell me what the use of a telescope is." After all, the function of the "teleoscope" is already included in the name, so there is no need for that.
In this way, Sun and Huang passed the second level without any effort.
Chapter completed!
