In Wangyue Tower, everyone looked at each other without speaking, and the scene seemed a bit strange.
At this time, Wu Meiniang's pretty face was flushed with excitement, and her hands holding Little Doudin couldn't help but tighten.
Xiao Douding raised his head and looked at Wu Meiniang and asked in an innocent voice: "Did daddy win?"
Seeing Wu Meiniang nodding, Xiao Douding clapped his hands and kept shouting - Daddy is great.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses from the strange state just now. Some were talking in small groups with their heads down, and some were looking at Yang Fan with complicated eyes.
Li Ke and Li Zhi were stunned at first, but then they took it for granted.
Xu Jingzong said nothing with a gloomy face, and a cold light flashed in his eyes from time to time.
Kong Yingda was deep in thought, muttering to himself, and then shaking his head slightly, as if he was thinking about a good match, and he might not be very satisfied.
Xu Zhang's face was pale at this time, he was at a loss, his expression was gloomy, and he looked at Xu Jingzong with some confusion.
Seeing that his father ignored him at all, he was so anxious that he was sweating profusely and at a loss.
Everyone's eyes were looking back and forth between him and Yang Fan. Xu Zhang wished that there was a hole in the ground that he could get into right away.
Just now he was showing off his charm, and with a arrogant look on his face, he criticized Yang Fan for being ignorant and incompetent.
Then he boasted that he had read all the four books and five classics, all the ancient classics. Now that he couldn't even answer any of the answers casually spoken by Bang Chui, wouldn't that make him appear to be a piece of rubbish that is worse than Bang Chui?
The slap in the face came so fast that he was caught off guard.
Looking at Xu Zhang who was as anxious as a monkey scratching, Yang Fan felt that he had gone too far.
After all, it would be too cruel to embarrass an ancient person with an eternal absolute that few people can match for thousands of years.
But he soon felt relieved. Who made this guy want to step on himself to improve his status? He was really looking for trouble for nothing, and he deserved it.
It turned out that the feeling of trampling on people was so good. Yang Fan was in high spirits and triumphant. He looked at Xu Zhang with a sullen expression and said: "Why don't Mr. Xu write a couplet? Let Mr. Kong judge and judge."
Xu Zhang secretly cursed MMP, such a couplet has rarely appeared for thousands of years. You come up with three sentences at once, and you need to adapt to the situation. I am right to you, my ancestor, even if all the talents are put to death, no one can do it.
Come to think of it, didn’t you see that even Kong Yingda kept nagging and didn’t show up at all?
Seeing Xu Zhang with his head lowered and saying nothing, Yang Fan smiled and said: "Two quarters of an hour has passed now. If Mr. Xu doesn't show up again, then Yang will win this game?"
Haha, now I know how pitiful you are, weren't you looking arrogant just now? What kind of dick are you? It's not good to mess with anyone. You just come to cause trouble for me to show your sense of existence and not to make your little heart lack blood supply.
It’s really a time of traveling in vain, it’s really a shameless thing!
Although he felt a little dissatisfied, Xu Zhang did not dare to drag everyone into trouble.
He can't always say that it's not that I'm bad, but that you are the eternal one. No one here can stand up to you. Even in the entire Tang Dynasty, there may not be anyone who can stand up to the situation.
If he dares to say that, then he really shouldn't hang out in the Tang Dynasty. The spit of these people can drown him. As a smart person, his emotional intelligence is not that low.
Everyone secretly suspected that Bang Chui had not been in school for a few years. Why was his literary talent so good? Why had no one noticed it before?
There are various speculations and discussions. The most likely thing is that this thing must have been obtained from an original copy somewhere.
It’s just that they didn’t think about it, why did they respond to the situation like this? Furthermore, once such a good couplet appears, it will definitely become famous and spread in a very short time. It covers most of the top literati in the Tang Dynasty.
Talent, but no one has heard of it.
But no matter how it came about, Xu Zhang didn't answer a word, and no matter how he tried to quibble, it was of no use. Naturally, Kong Yingda announced that Yang Fan had won the round.
At this time, Xu Zhang's face was ashen and extremely ugly, but so what if he was not convinced? In the end, he could only show a stiff smile and nodded. In his opinion, even if he loses, he must be graceful.
But everyone saw his expression as if he had eaten a fly, showing sympathy, pity, and gloating... it was all there.
His Royal Highness Prince Jin was scolded by Yang Fan just now. Many people saw it. You are the only one who forced yourself to show off and curry favor. Now you have encountered a hard problem, right?
Yang Fan laughed and said in a cool and relaxed manner: "Since Mr. Xu has accepted the concession, then Yang has a slight advantage. But just now Mr. Xu said that he has thoroughly learned the Four Books and Five Classics, and all the ancient classics. I may not necessarily read it in the future."
You have to work harder and stay away from fireworks, otherwise next time someone randomly throws out a few pairs and you can't answer them, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"
Hearing Yang Fan ridiculing him like this, Xu Zhang was about to refute whether it was the pair he saw in the original copy, but he looked into Yang Fan's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling, and felt a little timid in his heart.
After all, he had no evidence to prove that Yang Fan read it from the original copy, so he had no choice but to keep silent, his face turning red and white in frustration.
Seeing his son being ridiculed in this way, Xu Jingzong certainly would not ignore it, so he spoke to the rescue and said: "Uncle Zhongyi is indeed full of knowledge, Quanzi is absolutely inferior to him, but it is rare for him to compete with such a talented person as Uncle Zhongyi."
Opportunity, these pairs that Uncle Zhongyi just made are the only ones he has ever seen in his life. Now that time is short, it is impossible for Quanzi to think carefully about it. Even I can't match one of them. It's really shameful..."
"In order not to waste everyone's time, according to the competition rules of Brother Chongyuan just now, there is still one of the six skills, nine numbers. It is better to take the next question from this number skill. The first skill of the book, Zhongyi Bo first asked, this
One of the times, it should be Quanzi's turn to ask first, what does Uncle Zhongyi think?"
Yang Fan finally saw how shameless this traitorous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was.
The competition was described as a discussion, the disagreement was described as a lack of time and lack of consideration, and even more rhetoric was used to force him to give up the right to ask questions first.
As for Mathematics, if it were to take modern advanced mathematics, calculus or the like, he would still feel a little guilty.
But this was in the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, when problems with linear equations of two variables were considered difficult problems. How could he be afraid?
If you don't seek death, you won't die. Originally, I felt pity for Xu Zhang and didn't want to hit them anymore, but now that there is a father who cheated his son, I can only mourn for Xu Zhang!
Seeing that Yang Fan's smiling face turned serious, they thought it was because Yang Fan was afraid. Xu Zhang and his son suddenly felt that it was time to feel proud.
With the support of his father, Xu Zhang's confidence instantly returned to him. He raised his head and glanced sideways at Yang Fan: "I wonder if Uncle Zhongyi is ready? I'm going to start asking questions!"
Why is Xu Zhang so confident?
In fact, there is a reason for him to be proud. It turns out that in the Imperial Academy, his arithmetic skills were among the best, and he was even mentored by Li Chunfeng, an expert in arithmetic. This is where his confidence lies.
He believed that as long as he came up with problems that Li Chunfeng couldn't solve in ancient books, he would be able to stump this stick!
Although his wishful thinking was good, he didn't know that Yang Fan was a cheater.
The mathematics of later generations has accumulated thousands of years of experience from the ancients. How can it be difficult to achieve casually? This is not a mathematical problem such as Goldbach's conjecture.
It would be a joke if such simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division could be difficult!
Seeing Kong Yingda nodding to indicate that it was time to start, Xu Zhang proudly said the topic: "Two horse-drawn carriages and an ox-cart can transport 7,000 kilograms of goods at a time, and a horse-drawn carriage and two ox-carts can transport 5,000 kilograms of goods at a time. Excuse me,
How many kilograms of goods can a horse-drawn carriage and an ox-cart carry at a time?”
When Xu Zhang was doing math at the Imperial Academy, it took Xu Zhang a day and a night to solve this problem. Now he only had a quarter of an hour to solve it. He believed that no matter how good a math person was, it would be impossible for him to solve it in such a short time.
"4,000 pounds..."
Just when he was about to ask the second question in a pretentious manner like Yang Fan just now, Yang Fan's answer had already blurted out.
"There are monks in a temple..."
Xu Zhang had just read out a few words in the second question when he felt as if a fish bone had stuck in his neck, his eyes widened with disbelief, and he exclaimed: "How did you guess it?"
This made Yang Fan very depressed!
Such a simple linear equation of two variables is the most standard entry level. After all, I am a person who has gone to college, and now I am being embarrassed by a problem that can be solved by future generations of elementary school students.
I have the nerve to ask myself how I guessed it?
But obviously Yang Fan's answer was correct. Although everyone didn't know how Yang Fan calculated it, Xu Zhang's expression at this time was so funny that everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter.
