I become a sage by eating books

Chapter 29

Ning An said: "Is there any brother who wants to teach me!"

For a while, the audience was silent, Xiao Renhuai pushed a student named Zhou Hongrun beside him to let him go up.

Zhou Hongrun waved his hands to Xiao Renhuai and said, "Brother Renhuai, if I can't do it, I won't go up to join in the fun, so as not to be embarrassed."

Xiao Renhuai cursed "trash" again angrily, then stood up by himself. "Xiao Renhuai, I want to compare couplets with you, what do you think?"

Ning An arched his hands, "Dare to ask Mr. Xiao, how do you compare?"

Xiao Renhuai didn't take it seriously, couplets were what he was best at, so he didn't believe that he could beat him.

"Let's just have you play the upper line and I have the second line, and then exchange until the other party can't answer the question, how about we win?"

Ning An made a gesture of invitation, signaling for Xiao Renhuai to write a question.After the last round of competition, Xiao Renhuai didn't dare to take it lightly.

"When you travel to the West Lake, you pick up the tin pot, and when you drop the tin pot, you lose the tin pot in the West Lake, but it's a pity for the tin pot."

Ning An immediately responded to "the blue bottle sold in Nanping and the rare blue bottle in Nanping".Then Ning An presented the question
"Looking at the river tower, looking at the river flow, looking at the river flow downstairs at the Wangjiang tower, the river tower is eternal, and the river flow is eternal".

Xiao Renhuai lost his thoughts for a while, stood on the stage and thought for a long time, and then he said hesitatingly: "Yinyuejing, Yinyueying, Yinyueying in Yinyuejing, Yuejing ten thousand years, moon shadow ten thousand years".

Xiao Renhuai rubbed it on his forehead with his cuff, looking a bit strenuous.After thinking for a while, he asked, "If you take the bait, you are old, and if you take the bait, you will be tested. If you take the old test, you will be a child, and if you are a child, you will be old."

Ning An smiled, and said without hesitation: "One person is big, two people are heaven, heaven is greater than human affection, and human affection is greater than heaven. Is Mr. Xiao right?"

Seeing that Ning An didn't seem to be under any pressure at all, Xiao Renhuai understood at this moment that he had indeed underestimated him before, and that this person really has some abilities.

At this moment, Xiao Renhuai's heart began to panic. He could barely cope with the first couplet written by Ning An, but he didn't know what kind of topic he would write next.

Then Xiao Renhuai opened his folding fan, fanned it lightly a few times, and said to Ning An with a calm look: "Mr. Ning is quick-witted, and this pairing is wonderful. Please continue, Mr. Ning!"

Ning An arched his hands to Xiao Renhuai, then walked a few steps on the high platform and said loudly: "Young Master Xiao, please listen clearly, the upper line below is: Baita Street, Huang Blacksmith, making red furnace, burning black charcoal, taking risks Blue smoke, flashing blue light, hardened purple iron, facing south and hitting things."

As soon as this pairing came out, the students in the audience started discussing it one after another.This passage describes the scene of a blacksmith forging iron, and the description is very careful, how can some rich children can easily describe it.

In fact, it is not difficult to make this connection, as long as you observe a lot in life, it is simply a piece of cake.But Xiao Renhuai on stage is obviously not in this category, so Xiao Renhuai will definitely lose in this round.

Sure enough, after a long time, Xiao Renhuai still didn't make a second line, and finally had to admit defeat automatically.

"Young Master Ning is talented, I admire you."

Ning An arched his hands and said to Xiao Renhuai: "Young Master Xiao, accept it!"

Xiao Renhuai stepped down from the high platform and returned to his seat with a very unsightly expression.

Unexpectedly, he actually lost, losing to a nameless boy who appeared out of nowhere, this was a great shame to Xiao Renhuai.

He looked at Ning An on the stage, his eyes were full of light, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Then he looked at Liang Yibo and Jia Simiao who were behind him, and signaled them to compete on stage.The two were born in merchants and were quite proficient in arithmetic, so he did not believe that Ning An could win this time.

After receiving Xiao Renhuai's hint, Liang Yibo and Jia Simiao stood up, and then Liang Yibo said to Ning An: "Young Master Ning, the two of us want to compete with you. I don't know if you can take the challenge!"

Ning An smiled gently, "Of course, the rules of the competition have stated that anyone who disagrees can participate in the competition, and there is nothing wrong with the two young masters together. I just don't know what you two want to compare?"

Liang Yibo cupped his hands and said, "My lord is very generous. I'm ashamed to say that the two of us are not as talented as Mr. Ning. The only thing we can do is arithmetic. Please ask Mr. Ning for advice."

Ning An stood on the stage calmly, but actually his heart was already full of laughter.

Is there any mistake, these two people are going to compete with her in arithmetic, she used to be a professional accountant, arithmetic is a child's play for her, okay?

Ning An bowed to the two of them and said, "I don't dare to be an advisor, please, my lords!"

Liang Yibo and Jia Simiao walked up to the stage, Ning An asked them, "I don't know how the two young masters want to compare?"

Jia Simiao waved his hand, raised his head high, looked at Ning An with a disdainful expression, and said, "It's unfair for you to use one against two, why don't we invite Mrs. Zhou to come up with a question, and we'll compare whoever counts. How about fast and accurate?"

Upon hearing this, Ning An realized that this rule was indeed fair, so he said to the two of them, "Just as you say."

Then he bowed to Master Zhou and said, "Please trouble Master Zhou, and ask Master to come up with a question!"

Mr. Zhou is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with two mustaches on the corners of his mouth.

Master Zhou stood up, looked at the three people on the stage and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say, as your master, I should be fair and just! Listen carefully, this master has begun.

One hundred steamed buns, one hundred monks, three big monks, no competition, three junior monks, one, how many monks, big and small?Timing begins! "

Ning An secretly sighed in his heart. He never thought that there would be an equation question at this time, but such a question is only at the elementary school level now.

Ning An smiled gently and said to Master Zhou: "No need Master, the students have already been counted, there are 75 junior monks, 25 senior monks, Master, are the students counted correctly?"

Master Zhou stared blankly at Ning An and said, "It's absolutely correct."

The students in the audience were in an uproar. Was he really done so soon?

"No, I don't believe it, I don't believe you can calculate so fast, you must have heard this question beforehand, otherwise why would you figure out the answer in one bite, it doesn't count, this game doesn't count."

Jia Simiao pointed at Ning An with a look of anger, he didn't believe it, he didn't believe it.

Liang Yibo on the side pretended to cough a few times before Jia Simiao realized that he was still on stage and gradually calmed down.

After listening to Jia Simiao's words, Ning An was not affected at all, but said to Master Zhou: "Since Mr. Jia is not convinced, please ask Master to ask another question!"

Mr. Zhou looked at Ning An appreciatively and said, "Then I will ask another question, and it happens that I also want to know if you really have this ability! Listen well, the monk went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. 75 trips per day, ask the public how many days it takes to return."

Ning An smiled gently, isn't this easier! "Return to Master, two thousand eight hundred and eighty days, is the student's answer correct?"

Master Zhou was even more surprised. If one question is a coincidence, are the two also a coincidence? "

correct answer.

I have another question here, are you interested? "

Ning An said: "Please teach me, Master!"

Master Zhou stroked his beard, which was not long in the first place, and said: "Today, there are things that I don't know how to count. When counting three or three, there are two left, when counting five or five, three are left, and when counting seven or seven, there are two left. How many things are there?"
