Xu Changjin nodded slightly and said, "Thank you sir, since that's the case, Chang Jin will demonstrate first." The two sides are in a competitive relationship now, and Lady Xu will not be polite to Master Lin in order to help Gao Li achieve her wish.
She took a thick red candle, cut off three quarters, and then pierced a thin hole in the remaining part parallel to the twister, passed the silk thread through it, and then sealed it with the candle. Sealed, and then cut the thread and candle completely.
"Little sister, can you give me the nine-curved jade beads?" Lady Xu smiled at Cuiyun and said kindly.
The little maid handed the jade bead to her, Xu Changjin put the small hole of the nine-curved jade bead perpendicular to the ground, pointed the silk thread directly at the entrance of the nine-curved jade bead, and slowly inserted it. The inside of the jade bead twists and turns, and the first half of the silk thread wraps the candle, which is so tight that it is difficult to pass through. Maid Xu carefully lit the red candle and baked it against the curved hole. The wax thread was softened by the heat and slowly entered along the curved hole.
The idea is that the silk thread is sealed with a candle, and the candle is softened by heat, and the candle tears flow down, driving the thread forward. But it needs to be coordinated skillfully. If it is one point late, it may cause the candle to seal the curved hole. Xu Changjin was dexterous, her eyes were wide open, and she threaded the silk thread carefully, not daring to slack off in the slightest. On the tip of her crystal clear and jade-like nose, there was a light layer of sweat, looking very beautiful.
What a clever and stupid way, Lin Wanrong sniggered at it, this way can be accomplished by a patient and persistent woman like Xu Changjin, but it definitely won't work if it is someone else. However, this lady Xu just reflected the national character of the Korean people. This point is indeed worth learning from Dahua.
The inside of the nine-curved jade bead is rugged and tortuous, Xu Changjin spent a long time, going back and forth several times, before passing the silk thread and the candle through the small hole, but the inside of the jade bead has been sealed by the candle, although the silk thread has been pierced However, it cannot be pulled. Even so, no one thought of this method. Everyone on the field admired Xu Changjin's dexterity and perseverance, and there was thunderous applause, celebrating her passing the test.
Lady Xu smiled shyly, bowed to the little lady Cuiyun and said, "I'm sorry. Although it's passed through, the silk thread can't be pulled. I'm causing you trouble."
Cuiyun hurriedly said: "My sister, since the silk thread has been passed through, you will naturally pass the test."
Lady Xu smiled slightly, and said to Lin Wanrong: "My lord, it's time for you."
The little maid Cuiyun had already lit a candle to melt away the blockage in the curved hole. After the jade beads are cooled, water is poured through the small hole, and the water drops drip. It was proved that there was no blockage inside, so the jade beads were handed over to Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong took out a thin bamboo tube from his bosom, and said with a smile: "The tools I use may be a bit unique, you two girls, don't be afraid." He opened the bamboo tube, and a small ant crawled out of it, which scared Cuiyun. With a cry of surprise, Xu Changjin's beautiful eyes flashed sharply, and he looked at him suspiciously.
Lin Wanrong took the silk thread and carefully tied it to the ant's leg. He fixed the nine-hole jade bead on the table, and smeared some honey on the other end. Xu Changjin groaned, and suddenly a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Guessing that the smell of honey was almost gone, Lin Wanrong placed the little ant in the jade hole. Ants have a keen sense of smell, and when they smell honey, they search for it and go out of the jade hole in two or three strokes.
Everyone blinked their eyes, is that okay? If Xu Changjin's method is accidental and irreproducible, then Lin San's method is simply suitable for a three-year-old child. It's too fucking simple. How did this kid come up with it
"Hahahaha—" the emperor said with a hearty smile, "Brother Cheng, you really have insight. Xu Aiqing, this Lin San is indeed a talent."
"Your Majesty, I'll tell you the truth. I've been in contact with Lin San for a long time, and I always have the feeling that there seems to be nothing in the world that can trouble him." Xu Wei smiled.
"Really?" The emperor smiled deeply.
"My lord, how did you come up with this?" Xu Changjin looked at Lin Wanrong and asked curiously.
Lord Lin smiled deeply: "If you don't sue the emperor next time, I will tell you." Xu Changjin blushed and was embarrassed to speak.
"The first question will be answered by Mr. Lin and Prince Gaoli." The little maid Cuiyun announced.
"Lu Dongzan, what do you think we should do? They have already answered one question." Ashle said anxiously to the think tank next to him with a worried expression on his face.
"Don't worry, Asile, there will always be opportunities, and there are three more questions." Lu Dongzan replied confidently.
"Second question." Cuiyun tore open another waxed envelope, and saw hundreds of soldiers approaching suddenly from a distance, a group of three carrying a log, there were as many as a hundred of them, all of the same thickness .
"For this topic, there are a hundred logs of average thickness. Please separate the root and tip of each log." Cuiyun said softly.
As soon as the voice fell, the scene became quiet. These logs are all the same thickness, how can we separate the roots and shoots
Xu Changjin was still concentrating on thinking, but he heard two voices saying at the same time: "I can separate."
A voice came from a distance, and the Chinese was blunt. It was from Lu Dongzan, a think tank next to Ashile, the Turkic envoy. The other voice came from the side of Lady Xu, that is Master Lin Sanlin who just played with ants.
Xu Changjin said in disbelief, "My lord, do you really know how?"
Lin Wanrong smiled: "Maybe, you have to try it to know."
Lu Dongzan also came up to the stage. Seeing Lin Wanrong, he clasped his fists and said, "My humble Lu Dongzan is under the seat of Turkic Vija Khan. I have met Master Lin."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said, "I'm a visitor from afar, since Brother Lu has a way to tell which side is the root and which side is the shoot, then please come first."
Lu Dongzan nodded with a smile and said, "It's actually not difficult to distinguish the tree roots from the treetops, but it may require some destructive activities. People have age, and trees have annual rings. The closer to the root of the tree, the deeper and more obvious the annual rings are." , I just need me, a Turkic warrior, to saw off the heads and tails of these hundred logs, and distinguish the color of the annual rings, and then I can distinguish the head from the tail, the root from the tip.”
I still heard about the age of tree rings at one time, and everyone was confused. Only Lin Wanrong nodded lightly, Turkic can stand for many years without falling, there are indeed talents, not to mention anything else, this Lu Dongzan can be regarded as one. Big trees have annual rings, which is often mentioned by later generations, but it is becoming more and more extraordinary when it is said from a Turkic population in this generation.
"Xu Aiqing, is what Lu Dongzan said right?" the emperor asked with a deep frown.
Xu Wei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, my daughter Zhiqing has studied this before. It is true that trees have annual rings. The closer to the root of the tree, the more obvious the annual rings will be. This Lu Dongzan is not an ordinary person, he is The number one think tank in Turkic Vija Khan's tent, known as the national teacher, I am afraid that he will win this round." [Heaven's Kiss Hands]
"What about Lin San, is it possible for Lin San to win?" the emperor suddenly asked, with a look of hope flashing in his eyes.
"This, I don't dare to judge rashly. If you want to beat Lu Dongzan, unless Lin San comes up with a better way." Xu Wei said.
While talking, Lu Dongzan ordered his Turkic scissors to saw off a big tree from the head and tail, and sure enough, deep growth rings were exposed at one end. Xu Changjin looked at it and nodded, and said softly: "The world is so big, full of wonders, Changjin learned something new today."
Seeing that Lu Dongzan wanted to order someone to saw another log, Lin Wanrong stopped him with a smile and said, "Brother Lu, it is indeed as you said, your method is extremely destructive. How about it, little brother There is also a method to verify the top and bottom of the tree. After the younger brother has verified, please choose ten of them to saw off, two-phase verification, one can test whether the younger brother’s method is wrong, and second, it also saves resources. Tree planting Afforestation is not easy, we must love trees and forests.”
Lu Dongzan nodded and said: "This method is very good, how can my lord verify it?"
Lin Wanrong walked out slowly, clasped his fists at the hundreds of soldiers who came against the logs and said, "Brothers, please help, push all these logs into the river."
Both Xu Changjin and Lu Dongzan watched Lin Wanrong's every move curiously. Xu Wei clapped his hands and said angrily, "Oh, why didn't I think of this. Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, this time, we won again."
After the logs entered the water, they jumped a few times in the water and then gradually calmed down. At this time, a strange thing appeared. A log of the same thickness has completely different ups and downs at both ends. Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Brother Lu, from my point of view, for the same log, the part that floats on the water is the top of the tree, and the part that sinks is the root of the tree. What do you think?"
Lu Dongzan gave a thumbs up and said: "Lord Lin, you are really knowledgeable and talented, and you can come up with such a simple method. Lu Dongzan admires it."
Ashile came over in a hurry and said, "Lu Dongzan, what's going on? Why are the treetops floating on the water and the roots sinking into the water?"
Lu Dong said with a smile: "The big tree faces the sun, and the water comes from the roots. Therefore, the roots of the tree are thick, and the treetops are slightly lighter. The surface looks the same in thickness, but the inside is different. Let's choose ten trees, and check the growth rings. Know."
A soldier had already stepped forward to pick out ten logs and saw them open. As Lin Wanrong said, the heaviest ones are the roots, and the lightest ones are the tips. Undoubtedly, the method Lin Wanrong chose was simpler and more practical. Both Lin San and Turkic could pass this time, but it is an indisputable fact that Lin San beat Turkic, and even Lu Dongzan could not deny it.
"My lord, where did you get all this knowledge? Can I learn from you?" Xu Changjin couldn't help but ask in admiration.
"Self-study is basically self-study." Lin Wanrong said haha: "Miss Xu, you want to learn from me? Oh, this is not good. I have always had difficulty controlling myself when I am facing beautiful women. If something happens between me and you What, then how can you be worthy of the long-standing friendship between our two countries, it is better not to."
Lady Xu's jade-like cheeks flew two beautiful clouds, she lowered her head and dared not speak for a long time.
