Chapter 368: The art of measuring words

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, what is the most arrogant and shocking sentence that people have heard?

It's from Zhu Yuanzhang: "After killing millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, the sword on his waist was still bloody. The old monk didn't know the hero, so he just kept asking for his name."?

Or is it Zhu Di's: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country."?

Or is it the God of War Zhu Qizhen's "I can't bear to have people sacrificed for burial. I'll put an end to this matter myself, and don't do it again in future generations."?

Or the last sage’s words: “My heart is bright, what can I say?”

Probably none of them. If I were to rank, it would definitely be this sentence of this person who was not named in history. It is the craziest, the most arrogant, and the most shocking.

"Sir, how about you and I having a handwriting test?"

Zhao Wenhua fell directly from the chair. He really fell.

He thought that Gao Xiucai was already arrogant enough, but he didn't expect that there is another mountain higher than the other. This candidate's arrogance really reached the sky!

Don’t you know how he got so prosperous? Don’t you know how he got to where he is today? He can even count Zhang Tianci with his hands! How can you compare with him in word testing?

Xiao Feng was also very surprised. He looked at Ju Ren and suddenly felt something in his heart: "There is no one named Xiao in your ancestors, right?"

Juren said proudly: "Sir, the student's family has been living for generations! The art of measuring characters has been around since ancient times, and it is not your unique Taoist skill.

Don't you know that Confucianism also has a method of measuring characters? "Shuowen Jiezi" began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the technique of measuring characters is recorded in it. It is not a Taoist book, but a Confucian classic.

The art of measuring characters is nothing more than 'fitting the head and feet, inserting the heart and wrapping the cage, adding and subtracting strokes, deciphering the antithesis, and picking the characters to see the plum blossoms.' Although it is mysterious, it is also limited.

Unexpectedly, this technique was whitewashed by adults as a fairy dream and even named after it.

"Cangjie Tianshu" really says, "You can get a thousand pieces of gold without using jun's hand medicine," and the students admire it."

These words made everyone blush. Zhao Wenhua, who had just gotten up from the ground, was so frightened that he fell off his chair again.

Are you crazy? I just asked you to dampen Xiao Feng's spirit, I didn't ask you to seek death!

You are clearly pointing your finger at Xiao Feng and scolding him. You are using Confucian knowledge to pass off as Taoism, and you are just trying to get fame and reputation for your own liking!

Not only did you scold Xiao Feng, but you also indirectly scolded Daomen. More importantly, you scolded Long Live. If Xiao Feng is a liar, what is Long Live? Is he a fool?

Yes, Wanzai was a fool back then, but he has not been a fool for many years now, and he thinks he will never be a fool again.

Now you just point your nose and scold him: Long live, you think you have grown up, but in fact you are still an idiot!

Doesn’t my godfather know that Long live is a fool? He dares to say anything now, but he doesn’t dare to make a fuss about Xiao Feng’s word-testing technique. What do you think it’s for?

Xiao Feng is now in great power, and he still has Shang Fang's sword in his hand. Not to mention you, a small official, he is a relative of the emperor, a prefect, and a prefect.

Scream for injustice everywhere!

Besides, it's okay for you to die. You can also turn Xiao Feng's reputation into a bad one. Killing someone out of shame is always unpopular, so your death is worth it.

The problem is, don't get me involved. The three of you are the people I found. If Xiao Feng's prestige is wiped out, no one will trace the details. Even if they find out that I have a godfather to protect me, they won't be afraid.

But if you do this nonsense, Xiao Feng will kill you, and then I will pay you a long live tribute.

After finding out, I am in danger too! I have a criminal record!

Back then, you almost sent away your whole family with just a "word of mouth", and almost sent away your godfather with two jars of "Hundred Flower Immortal Wine". This time, "Long live you idiot", I might really be sent away by you!

Many people in the hall could barely understand a few words of Ju Juren's long list of professional terminology. The worst offender was Deaf Zhang, as this passage really cost him his life.

"Ji Ren said that the art of measuring words is nothing more than 'bumping the head, having sex, piercing the core, hugging, licking, licking... This, this is too rude, I am deaf and can't even say it!"

The onlookers were very anxious and dissatisfied: "What are you doing? We hired you as an interpreter. Can you be more professional?"

It is what it is, and whether it is rude or not is his decision. Does it have anything to do with you? Say it quickly! "

Deaf Zhang had no choice but to say what he could read from his lips. Everyone was dumbfounded and sighed repeatedly.

"Damn, that's really rude! Are you talking about a calligraphy test or a flower boat tour? What's next?"

Deaf Zhang made a careful analysis: "You said that the master used fairy dreams to cover up and even titled it "Cangjie Heavenly Book". He really said that he could get a thousand essences by shaking his hand. The students admired it."

The onlookers were all shocked: "What the hell are you talking about? Just now I was going to the flower house to find a girl, and now I have to solve it myself?"

The old scholar next to him, who had been frowning in thought, finally couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't dare to say anything about anything rude or not in front of him. At this time, he finally felt that it was too outrageous.

"It sounds like what Juren said should be 'If you don't use the turtle's hand medicine, you can get a thousand pieces of gold.' This is an allusion from "Zhuangzi - Xiaoyaoyou".

Talk about Song Dynasty

There is a man in the country who is good at preparing medicine to prevent and treat skin cracking due to cold. For this reason, his family has been rinsing silk wool for generations. In winter, other families dare not wash it for fear of hurting their hands. His family dares to wash it, so they work a lot more than others.

If you work for a month, you can earn more money.

Someone heard about it and spent a hundred gold to buy his prescription. The man from the Song Dynasty called his family to discuss and said: We have been rinsing silk cotton for generations, and we can only earn a few gold a year. Now we can get a hundred gold from selling the prescription.

Sell ​​it to him!

The man got the prescription and presented it to the King of Wu. The King of Wu distributed the medicine to the army and chose winter to have a water battle with the Vietnamese army. As a result, the Vietnamese army's hands and feet were cracked and they could not hold weapons. The Wu army defeated the Vietnamese army severely.

defeat.

The King of Wu then rewarded the person who presented the medicine with a thousand pieces of gold and a fief. Zhuangzi said, the medicine is the same, some people get rewards for using it, and some people only use it to rinse silk cotton, because the methods of using it are different!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they were all complaining that Deaf Zhang was really an old pervert, and anything he said could be related to that kind of thing. We are all gentlemen, so we shouldn't listen at all.

Deaf Zhang was about to cry but had no tears, so he had to continue to read the lip language with difficulty, praying in his heart that these two bastards would not drop their book bags again. It was really difficult for me to make money.

Xiao Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Juren: "At what age are you a scholar and a scholar?"

Juren was stunned, what does this topic mean? I was talking so enthusiastically, why did I suddenly change the topic?

"Sir, the student is a scholar at the age of twelve and a scholar at the age of sixteen."

"How old are you?"

"The student is thirty-two years old this year."

Xiao Feng sighed secretly, but his face remained silent: "You

If you want to have a calligraphy test, you can. I happen to be in Nanjing, so I don’t have to test the princess’s calligraphy every day. Tell me how to compare?”

Juren had been planning for a long time, and he did not hesitate at this moment: "Please ask the person present who needs the word test most to write down a word, and you and I will test it separately. Whoever can test it accurately will win!"

Xiao Feng nodded: "Who among the people present has something important and needs a calligraphy test?"

One sentence set off the entire scene. Oh my god, who hasn’t wanted to take a calligraphy test?

Everyone rushed forward, talking about the necessity of measuring their own words, hoping to be the lucky one.

"My chicken is lost, the chicken is lost, I want a word test!"

"It's nothing if the chicken is lost. How can Mr. Xiao's energy be wasted on such a trivial matter? What my family lost is a donkey, it's a donkey!"

"Those who are throwing away their chickens and donkeys, stand back! I want to test whether I can still have a son! If there is no hope, I won't spend so much money on concubines!"

"If you don't have a son, stand back! I want to test whether my son is mine! He was born in five months, and he was said to be premature..."

"What does it matter if my son is my biological son? Stand back! I want to test whether I am my father's biological son. He refuses to share the family property with me!"

"Did your mother give birth to you prematurely at just five months old?"

"No, I was born late! My mother was pregnant with me for fifteen months! My father had sex with my mother before he went out to do business. Fifteen months later, my father came back and I was just born..."

Amidst the noise, a young man rushed up to the hall crying: "Sir, sir, my wife is missing! Please be merciful and give me a test!"

everyone

He was stunned for a moment. If this was indeed the case, then this person did have priority. Ying Tianfu Yin stood up and testified for the young man.

"Sir, this man is from Liujia Town outside Pukou. His wife has been missing for half a month. He came to Yingtian Mansion to report to the official.

It's just that cases of missing persons have always been difficult to solve, and I'm also having a headache. If it's a gambling game for your Excellency, and I can test his words for him, it will be a win-win for two birds with one stone."

Xiao Feng nodded: "Then let him write, and the questions must be asked clearly."

Naturally, Ju Ren had no objection. Ying Tianfu Yin immediately asked the young man to prepare pen and paper and asked the young man to come forward and write. At this time, everyone in the hall was eagerly waiting, and some people began to leave.

"Oh, you, why are you squeezing? You stepped on your feet!"

"It's boring. I have something to do at home. Let's go first. Give way. Give way."

"Tch, what could be so interesting about it? It's just right. If you don't want to give up your place to me, your front row seat is so good..."

The young man was very frail and looked not in good health. His face was green and white. He picked up the pen and wrote the word "hidden" tremblingly.

"Sir, Juren, I would like to ask you two to help me test, where is my wife hidden? She must be hidden, otherwise she will not not come home!"

Juren looked at Xiao Feng and said with a smile: "I have heard of the art of measuring characters, sir. You can only test one character a day, but you can't test it by unrelated people.

In order to prevent you from regretting it later, I would like to ask the student first, does this person's test of where his wife is hiding comply with the rules of your calligraphy test?"

Xiao Feng nodded: "I haven't tested the calligraphy today. What he tested was the hiding place of his wife, that is, the relevant person, and

It is not a matter of life and death that can be measured."

The judge raised his hands and said, "If the adults take the test first, if the students say exactly the same thing as the adults, I'm afraid it will be difficult to tell the winner.

If the students took the test first, I would be embarrassed to say that it was exactly the same as what the students took, right?"

This sentence is harsh enough, because Juren believes that character testing is character testing, and Xiao Feng's rules are all deceptive and used to deceive Jiajing.

He began to study "Shuowen Jiezi" a few years ago and gained considerable experience. He often hit the mark when testing characters, so many people asked him to test characters when they had something to do.

He is a candidate and does not accept money from anyone. Even if he is occasionally inaccurate, no one will say anything. They will just laugh and treat it as a funny thing.

One word, asking one thing, is the same no matter how it is changed. Therefore, whoever speaks first will take advantage, and the people behind him can only echo it. In the eyes of everyone, he is naturally incompetent.

Therefore, Ju Ren first blocked Xiao Feng's mouth with words to make him feel embarrassed to test first. Otherwise, given Xiao Feng's identity, he would not be able to do it if he had to rush to test first.

Xiao Feng nodded calmly: "Today I also opened my eyes. If character testing is really that simple and everyone can test it, I will have let down the "Cangjie Heavenly Book".

You test it first. If you test it correctly first and my test is the same as yours, you win."

The whole audience held their breath, waiting to watch the battle. Only Zhao Wenhua's mentality was extremely complicated. He actually didn't want Juren to win now!

Because if Juren wins, it means that character testing is not a Taoism at all, because Confucianism can do it too!

At the same time, it also shows that Xiao Feng’s "Cangjie Heavenly Book" and his dream of entering the fairyland are all fake!

This also shows that long live the

What an idiot! He even boasted that he had met Xiao Feng in Wonderland! Xiao Feng is a liar. How did you meet him? Is this a liar's house?

Long live is like being grabbed by the collar and slapped hundreds of times in front of everyone in the world. With Long live's temper, there is a high probability that he will kill Xiao Feng first, and then kill this idiot Juren.

Then, he will find out that this idiot Juren was the person he found, he was the one who pulled off his fig leaf, and he was the one who slapped him with his own hands!

Therefore, Long Live will definitely kill me, Zhao Wenhua, in the end, and my godfather won’t be able to keep me, Long Live said so!

Just when Zhao Wenhua was trembling and unsure of what to do, Juren had already picked up the piece of paper and pondered it over and over again.

He used a pen to add to another piece of paper. After fiddling with it, he put the paper down and smiled confidently.

"Sir, the students have finished the test!"

Xiao Feng also smiled: "Let's talk after the test is over."

Juren pointed to the word "Tibet" and said to the young man: "The word 'Tibet' has the word 'Zang' at the top and the word 'Zang' at the bottom.

The word 'Zang' corresponds to the word 'No', which means good intentions. So your wife is safe and sound now!"

The young man's eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded repeatedly: "You have the ability to promote people. If you have the ability, please keep talking!"

"The outside of the character 'Zang' is 'Wu', and 'Wu' has the shape of 'Hua'. If there is 'Hua' under the cursor word, it is the character 'Hua'.

The word "Zang" means "chen", which means "chen" under the word "花", which means a brothel benefactor. There are very few brothels in Nanjing, but there are many flower boats.

The word "花" should correspond to the flower boat. Your wife must have been sold on the flower boat. Just ask the governor to

If you send someone to look for it, you will surely find it!”

This calligraphy test was reasonable, accurate and impressive, and people were amazed at it. At the same time, people also had doubts about Xiao Feng's word test technique for the first time.

Is the art of calligraphy really just that? It is something that can be mastered by reading a book and studying for a few years. Xiao Feng has made it so magical and mysterious. Is it really just to deceive Long live?

At this time, the young man only wanted to find his wife. He didn't care about saluting, turned around and knelt down in front of Yingtian Fuyin.

"Sir, please send someone to search the flower boat. Please save my wife!"

Ying Tianfu Yin looked at Xiao Feng in embarrassment. Under normal circumstances, there were so many flower boats on the Qinhuai River, and it was no longer realistic to go all out to check them one by one in order to find a missing civilian woman.

What's more, Xiao Feng hasn't spoken yet. If Xiao Feng doesn't agree to send someone to investigate, wouldn't it be a thankless effort for him? What if Xiao Feng becomes angry and cuts himself with Shang Fang's sword?

Xiao Feng walked down the hall, picked up the piece of paper, and looked at the word "hidden" carefully. He was concentrating on it, his face was solemn, and everyone could feel that his face was a little pale.

Juren stood aside with a smile on his face, but a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

Xiao Feng said for a moment that either he couldn't measure it, or his measurement was consistent with his own. No matter which one it was, he would definitely lose.

Xiao Feng suddenly sighed: "This woman should indeed be on the flower boat."

Zhao Wenhua immediately collapsed on the chair, with only one thought in his mind: It's over, now it's a big deal!
