Time passed bit by bit, and the incense was almost burning to the end, and everyone's hearts jumped into their throats. WWw. QUAbEn-XIAoShUo. COm, especially Zhang Dehai, stared at the pool, unaware that he had already grabbed a section of the fence next to it.
Xiao Yueye looked at the pool with a hint of admiration in her eyes. He knew the weight of his pool. It could be said that a normal person would vomit after just one look at it, and even a slightly more powerful person would turn pale. If you stand in there, you'll probably lose nine out of ten, let alone those who can sneak in.
Su Jing dared to endure things that ordinary people couldn't do for Murong Xiu, so why did Zhang Tao do it
Perhaps as he said, if he can't even compare to a scholar, how can he be a soldier
In this era, there are too few soldiers with such purity and integrity.
Therefore, Zhang Tao made Xiao Yueye stand in awe.
At the last moment when the incense burned out, Zhang Tao finally found the pearl. After handing the pearl to the eunuch without saying a word, he walked into the clear water tank and bathed.
The three of them just washed off the dirt on their bodies on the spot. In order to prepare for the next test, Murong Liuyun announced that he would rest for half an hour. In this half an hour, the people who had been arranged to protect the dragon came forward one after another to clean up the square. I don’t know what kind of water they sprinkled on it. The originally smelly square suddenly became filled with the charming fragrance of flowers. .
Su Jing and the three of them were carried together with the water tank to a specially prepared room, where they really bathed. Flower petals, hot water, and pancreatic juice are enough to wash away the body odor.
Of course, the people waiting outside invariably heard the sound of vomiting and the sound of rubbing pig skin. . . . . .
During the rest, Song Hu walked towards Xiao Yueye calmly.
"Xiaoye, is this your fault?" Song Hu smiled bitterly and said, "Only you can imagine such a disgusting test?"
Xiao Yueye did not deny it, nodded and said: "It was my idea. Look, one person is eliminated so quickly."
"I bet that Su Jing will hunt you down afterwards. Your method is too immoral." To be honest, Song Hu was a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yueye for coming up with such a method. In his opinion, they are all his brothers, so why bother Su Jing so much
Even though you are clean now, there is still a big shadow in your heart. I heard that the rich young man at that time took a bath every day and often rubbed his skin to pieces.
Xiao Yueye smiled. He had expected Song Hu's reaction before he came up with such an idea. He did not deny that he came up with this bad idea with the purpose of harming Su Jing. But this is only part of the reason, and part of the reason is to shut up Mo Zhiqi and others.
Su Jing wanted to marry Murong Xiu, and the connections involved were too wide. Otherwise, why would Murong Liuyun be worried in the first place? Xiao Yueye's idea seemed disgusting and immoral, but it ensured fairness and justice in public. Even if Mo Zhiqi and Zhang Dehai were dissatisfied, they couldn't say anything.
After all, this method does not favor anyone at all.
And Murong Liuyun said it right, he wanted to find the kind of son-in-law who could give his daughter a quick ride. If you can't even do this, how dare he betroth his daughter to you
But talking to Song Hu about this is tantamount to playing the piano to an ox. This kid has never been able to see through these twists and turns since he was a child, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten by Gu Yao from childhood to adulthood.
Fortunately, Song Hu didn't understand for a moment and quickly changed the subject: "You are so disgusting in the first level, what about the second and third levels?"
Xiao Yueye chuckled, folded her arms and said, "Look down, don't worry, it won't be very disgusting later."
"It's not disgusting," Song Hu muttered, "It's perverted!"
Half an hour passed by in a flash.
Murong Liuyun sat up high and said loudly: "The winners of the first level are Su Jing and Zhang Tao. Although Mo Hangyu abstained from voting, he deserves a reward for having the courage to step into that cesspool. Pass the decree and reward Mo Hang. "One hundred taels of gold."
He clapped his hands, and several eunuchs carried the screen up and placed it in the middle.
"The first level has passed, and the second level is about to begin. Before proceeding to the second level, I decided to let the princess do a dance."
No one knew why Murong Liuyun suddenly did this, but soon, everyone's eyes were attracted to Princess Murong Xiu.
Murong Xiu had changed her outfit. Compared to the previous dignified and elegant look, she now looked more elegant. Especially the two pieces of plain silk on her body were fluttering gently in the wind, making Murong Xiu look like a flying fairy.
The sound of silk strings sounded slowly, and the tune was melodious and brisk, sweeping away the previous gloom. Murong Xiu danced in response to the sound, with graceful posture and light hands. In the eyes of everyone, she is like a fairy descending to earth, turning all living beings upside down with her moving dance.
Compared with the previous scene, all the officials at this moment felt like they had arrived in heaven from hell.
An article quickly appeared in Su Jing's mind: "Its shape is as graceful as a startling giant, and as graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are gorgeous. It seems like the moon is covered by light clouds, and it is swaying like the flowing wind. Back to the snow. Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the morning glow; looking at it from afar, it is as bright as a flower... The shoulders appear to be cut, the neck is straight, and the neck is exposed. The beauty is fragrant, the hair is plump, the eyebrows are trimmed, the lips are bright, the teeth are bright, the eyes are bright, and the body is gentle and graceful. "In language." (Note: This is a fragment of Luo Shen Fu)
But few people noticed that Murong Xiu was slowly moving towards the screen while dancing. Just when the music reached Gaohuochao, Murong Xiu turned slightly and disappeared behind the screen. The eunuchs on both sides quickly moved other screens to completely cover Murong Xiu.
"What's going on?" For a moment, this question appeared in everyone's mind.
Xiao Yueye looked at Su Jing's obsessed eyes and became nervous for no reason. Su Jing paid too much attention to the princess, so this time, he might make a mistake.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Murong Liuyun stood up and said seriously: "This is the second level. Naturally, my daughter will be the focus of my future husband's mind. If you can't even do this, how can I betroth my daughter to you?" You? So this second level is Q&A! "
Several eunuchs quickly carried tables and chairs forward. Su Jing and Zhang Tao sat down without knowing why, looking at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.
"I have a dozen questions here. You all answer them together. Whoever answers the most will win this level." Murong Liuyun had several pieces of rice paper in his hand.
"The first question is, what does Xiuer's bun look like?"
With this question, no matter how stupid you are, you will know what the test is about. This test is your memory and your concern for the princess. If you didn't pay attention to the princess just now, how could you think of it
Of course, some people secretly speculated whether the emperor was favoring Su Jing. After all, Su Jingnai is the number one scholar, and he still has a photographic memory. But they didn't notice the hint of smile at the corner of Zhang Dehai's mouth.
Why doesn't Zhang Dehai smile? If others don't know, doesn't he know? Although my son is not good at literature, he relies on his brains when marching and fighting. Zhang Tao's keen observation and instant memory are famous throughout the military camp.
Murong Liuyun also knew this.
Therefore, Zhang Dehai secretly believed that the emperor might be favoring himself. Even if there is no partiality, this test is still very fair.
Of course, what he didn't expect was that this question came from Xiao Yueye.
And the direction is similar to what Xiao Yueye predicted.
From the first level, Xiao Yueye estimated that Mo Hangyu would be eliminated. As early as before, we had collected information about Zhang Tao and Mo Hangyu. The reason why he put the cesspit in the first level was to eliminate Mo Hangyu, the young master. As for Zhang Tao, it would be best if he could be eliminated.
The second level was originally prepared for Su Jing and Zhang Tao. Xiao Yueye knew Zhang Tao's observation and memory from the information, despite such a test. If Zhang Tao can reach this level, then Zhang Dehai will not think that Murong Liuyun favors Su Jing when facing this test.
After all, Su Jing was the top scholar in literature, and his photographic memory was well known.
But Xiao Yueye became worried at this moment. Because he had calculated everything, but he had forgotten one thing, and that was Su Jing's feelings for Murong Xiu. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Su Jing, who was currently in love, felt his soul fly away when he saw Murong Xiu, whom he hadn't seen for a few days. How could he have the time to remember this
This is where Xiao Yueye made a mistake.
He looked at Su Jing and Zhang Tao, thinking quickly of remedies.
If Su Jing loses, then Zhang Tao will lose in the third level. There was a hint of murderous intent in the corner of his mouth. If it doesn't work, Zhang Tao will have no choice but to forgive you.
Su Jing and Zhang Tao both wrote their answers after careful consideration, and then held them up to show Murong Liuyun.
"But the answer is correct, double-ringed fairy bun. Okay, next question: What color is Xiu'er's robe?"
"How many phoenixes are there on Xiu'er?"
"What's the pattern of Xiu'er's shoes?"
Gradually, everyone also saw the secret. People's memory gradually weakens over time, and the questions in this second level are simple at first, and become more and more detailed later, paying more and more attention to small details. When it came to the next few questions, Su Jing and Zhang Tao both held pens and thought for a long time before writing down the answers. One time, Su Jing almost answered wrongly, which made Xiao Yueye extremely nervous.
The weather wasn't too hot, but both people on the field were sweating profusely, and their brows looked a little tired. It was obvious that their minds were too exhausted.
"What does the bead chain on Xiuer's wrist look like?" The question has become more and more detailed. Who can still remember what the bead chain looks like while dancing just now
Su Jing and Zhang Tao both closed their eyes, with veins popping out on their foreheads, thinking hard. Both of them tried to write, but quickly crumpled the rice paper into a ball and threw it aside.
After a full cup of tea, Zhang Tao finally started writing and slowly wrote down a few words, but Su Jing was still thinking hard.
For a time, several people's hearts were piqued. (Quanben Novel Website www.QUAbEn-XIAoShUo.com)
