Unparalleled Double Harmony

Chapter 36 "One Eye"

Xue Tui, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang.

He has been extremely intelligent since he was a child. He could read at the age of three, compose poems at the age of five, and write poems at the age of ten. He was admitted to Juren at the age of only 12.

What is the concept of juren in the early days?If you want to compare it, it is roughly the current 985... In other words, he was admitted to a prestigious university when we were just entering junior high school.

However, the same sentence... the world is unpredictable.

Before the age of 30, Xue Tui went to Chunwei five times successively. As a result, not to mention being the champion, he was not even nominated for the apricot list once.

As he got older and failed more and more times in the test, the voices of praise and envy around him gradually turned into ridicule and sarcasm.

Generally speaking, if a person's talent has not been met for a long time, his personality is easily distorted; after all, there are only a few people who can adjust their mentality, and Xue Tui is obviously not one of them.

His personality began to become surly, and he became estranged from his former friends...

He stayed behind closed doors all day long, studying hard day and night, until he was 30 years old. He made up his mind to go to the capital to take the final exam.

Who knows, this time...he still missed.

And when he got home, he found out that during the few months when he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, his parents had contracted sudden illnesses and died one after another; his wife did not write to him in order not to disturb him about the exam.

The double blow of failure and bereavement made Xue Tui devastated, and he also suffered a serious illness.After he recovered from his illness, he stayed at home for another three years... During this period, his family's money was gradually emptied.

There is no way, people, you have to eat; if you want to eat, you have to find a way to go out to earn a living.

But Xue Tui can't do anything except dancing and writing, and can't do any physical work.So he thought: I am a majestic master, so it will be no problem to be a teacher in the county, right?

There is a problem, there is a big problem...

Who are you Xue Tui?The "prodigy" in the village has been called "other people's child" by other parents since childhood. Then think about how many scholars in the village hate you?

As for the scholars, most of them come from rich and powerful families. Maybe some of their ancestors were officials, and even some "poor students" at the same level as Xue Tui are now officials... What can those people do for them? You Xue Tui has a good face?

After more than a month, after looking for many people, entrusting many connections, and exhausting the last bit of money, Xue Tui finally understood one thing: he couldn't stay in his hometown. .

In order to support himself, his wife and children, Xue Tui had no choice but to sell his ancestral property, drag his family and his family, and leave for another country; after several twists and turns, he finally came to Luoyang.

It was here that he met the noble person in his life, that is, the boss who does not return to the building, who is this boss... Let's talk about it later, let's talk about Xue Tui first.

Xue Tui, who had just arrived in Luoyang, made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings in the market. His business was not very good, and there were often gangsters who came to find trouble and blackmail him. Sometimes he could not earn a penny back for several days.

In that year, their family was almost maintained by the scattered income from his wife's laundry and sewing. Not to mention the adults, even the children were hungry and full.At that time, Xue Tui would often think: his wife used to be a well-matched lady, but now she has fallen to this point with him, and he is really sorry for her.

It was also during those most difficult days that Xue Tui's character changed again—he became smooth.

Since her wife, a woman who didn't even wash a bowl before the age of 25, can work so hard that her hands are full of cuts and calluses, why can't he, Xue Tui, lose his costly arrogance and self-esteem?

It was from then on that he began to write some erotic poems that he found vulgar in the past, and to draw some erotic beauties that were more in line with the public's aesthetic... He gave up his personal pursuit and put the quality of life of his family in the first place. One, use this as motivation to play with your talents.

Until one day, he was caught by the wise eyes of the boss of this building who did not return, and invited him to come here as a guest of the "Zhixian Pavilion", and those days came to an end.

It is not difficult to see from Xue Tui's experience in most of his life that he is not a sour literati with no knowledge of the world; although his character has an arrogant side, he can also back down on appropriate occasions.

To sum it up in a more popular sentence now-an old hermaphrodite.

Right now, what he said to Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie, "It's as easy as flipping the palm of your hand", is undoubtedly putting a high hat on these two people, so that even if he solves the whole problem in a while, the other party will not be able to make excuses .

Of course, the two of Sun and Huang are not so easy to fool... As far as Xue Tui's ability to light fire is concerned, it is nothing compared to Sun Yixie.

Huang Donglai is being bullied by Sun Ge all day long, so why can't you see what you, Xue Tui, want to do at this moment?

"Hehe...it's hard to say." After thinking for a while, Huang Donglai replied with a smile, "We still have to see what questions Mr. Xue asked before we can make a judgment."

"Ha!" Sun Yixie, who had just shown his face just now, was in a moment of pride. Hearing this, he took advantage of the opportunity to touch Huang Donglai's arm with his elbow, and said with a smile, "Hey, Brother Huang, isn't this so?" Like you, aren't you the most daring to judge?"

"Get out~" Huang Donglai has nothing to do with politeness when talking to Sun Yixie, "It's okay to talk about it, what the hell are you making a fuss about here, are you full of fish?"

"Heh..." Sun Yixie smiled coquettishly, "Okay, let's not talk about it, I'll let you pass the next level, and I'll watch Brother Huang perform for you."

The way of chatting between these two people is full of swear words, it is very natural for them to say it, and there is no sense of disobedience, but if you think about it carefully, the information leaked between the lines shows that they already know very well what Xue Tui is doing. It's a trick, and there is even a point of pointing at Sang Huai in it.

Xue Tui was listening, and was secretly startled...

He has met many so-called "young heroes" in the past few years in Buguilou, but most of these young people in their teens and 20s are too ostentatious and straightforward, and they always like to talk loudly and full of words when they encounter problems... …just flatter them a little bit, and they will fall into the trap easily.

But these two boys in front of them not only have certain abilities, but also are quite experienced in dealing with people-if they are unsure, they basically don't pretend, even when they are being flattered, they always leave a retreat in their words of response.

Xue Tui had only seen such a young man in his life, which made him intrigued.

…………

After a while, Xue Tui led the two of them to a study room on the second floor; there were bookshelves on all sides of the room, and in addition to books, there were also many antique calligraphy, paintings and potted decorations on display; there was a table case on the south side of the room , The case has already prepared paper, ink, pen and inkstone.

As soon as the three of them came to the middle of the room, before they could stand still, Xue Tui suddenly turned around and said, "My lords, I'll cut to the chase..." He wanted to kill the two of them by surprise, "Today's one glance ', please look here..."

At this point, he stretched his sleeves and pointed to something on the third floor of the bookshelf beside him at the moment.

That's right, the so-called "one eye" is actually "knowing things".

Of course, what can be used to test others cannot be something very common, it must be a rare treasure, and it is very rare or even unique in the entire Dazhuo. Second, knowledge is the main test.

At this moment, what Xue Tui showed to Sun Yixie and Huang Dong was one of the many collections of their Boss Not Returning Building.

Who knows... As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Donglai looked at the thing and said, "Isn't this a telescope?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Tui almost spat out a mouthful of old blood...

The level of "one glance" can be said to be the most difficult of the three levels; "Yipin" may pass the level by guessing, and the judgment of "one word" is somewhat subjective, but the answer to "one glance" is "know it, just know it." You know, you don’t know, you can’t guess.”

Furthermore, today Xue Tui deliberately chose a rare thing that the boss just bought from a foreign country not long ago. It can be said that few people in the whole Dazhu know what it is; unexpectedly... the other party just stood at a distance and scanned In a blink of an eye, without even coming over to confirm, he directly reported the name of this thing.

"Young Master Huang... have you seen this before?" Xue Tui blurted out when he was surprised.

Can Huang Donglai be fooled by him like this?Let's talk about this topic, what can Brother Huang answer?Did he tell him that he was a time traveler?Or do you fabricate a story about the Netherlands that you have been to this universe?

"Well...heh..." Huang Donglai laughed dryly, cupped his fists and said, "I'm sorry for the inconvenience of telling Huang."

There is nothing wrong with this, people are not obliged to answer such questions that may involve personal privacy; there are also such rules in the world, if you don’t want to talk about some things, then don’t talk nonsense, just make it clear from the beginning that “it is inconvenient to tell” , It's not considered a loss of face for the other party.

"Oh...heh, it was Xue who was being abrupt." Xue Tui also quickly realized that he had asked Tulu, he smiled and made a bow, and quickly changed the subject, "Well, since 'one eye' This level is not difficult for the two of you, so let's start the third level, 'One Word'."

Ordinarily, the requirement to pass the level with "one glance" is not only to tell the name of the item, but also to explain the general function of the item; but Xue Tui did not raise such mentally retarded requirements as "please tell Mr. Huang what the telescope is useful for" After all, the function of "telescope" is already included in the name, so there is no need for that.

In this way, Sun and Huang passed the second hurdle without any effort.

But for the "one word" of the third level, they were still quite flustered... because according to their speculation, this level is likely to require their serious "combat literary talents"; The "Guang" character design is likely to disappear in this pass and be replaced by the "Zhang Yu" character design.
