The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 83 I’ll chop my hand off for you (please subscribe!)

At the beginning of the Qujiang Banquet, a group of talented people began to compose poems and rhymes under the leadership of the great Confucian scholar.

Jashan was a little bored.

"Prince, when will this question-and-answer session with Qian Xiang begin?"

The little prince also looked at Jia Shan boredly.

"I don't even know when to start. It depends on when the other party mentions it."

"It's really painful."

Jashan lay down on the table.

He also doesn't know how to dance, write or compose lyrics, which makes him really uncomfortable here.

The Minister of Hubu pushed Jia Shan, and Jia Shan turned his attention to the Minister of Hubu.

"Don't be impatient, be careful if someone catches your tail. I'll give you a copy."

Following the gaze of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, a middle-aged old Confucian scholar wearing a silver scholar's uniform sat across from him.

Seeing him staring in his direction, Jia Shan knew instantly that she was sitting upright.

The Minister of Revenue smiled.

"I remember you had a nickname, Taotao."

"Lord, let it go!"

Jia Shan was anxious. The ugliness of the past should not be mentioned.

It's been several months, so don't expose others' shortcomings anymore.

Seeing Jia Shan's anxious look, Shangshu Hube couldn't help laughing.

The Minister of Libu, who was just one person away from the Minister of Hubu, looked over.

"Old ghost, why are you laughing there?"

"I'm not laughing at anything, I just remembered something funny."

The official's brow furrowed tightly.

"I'm afraid you're not laughing at my fall today!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel stared at the Minister of the Ministry of Finance with raised eyebrows. It was better not to mention this matter, but the Minister of the Ministry of Finance couldn't help it when he mentioned it.

The laughter became even louder. Jia Shan, who had not seen that scene, looked at the two of them in confusion. The prince lay down and whispered a few words in Jia Shan's ear.

It turned out that when the Minister of Libu came today, he made a big ugly appearance at the entrance of the palace. By chance, a dog passed by the door. The Minister of Libu fell and bit the dog.

"Is there anything wrong with the Minister of Civil Affairs?"

Jia Shan asked softly in the prince's ear.

"Almost!"

The prince sighed.

"Fortunately, there was a dog to cushion him. Without that dog, it would have been a disaster."

Jia Shan clicked her tongue.

In this way, the dog can be regarded as the savior of the official minister in front of him. I wonder how the official official will treat the dog.

The Minister of Hubu laughed continuously, and the face of the Minister of Libu became darker and darker.

"You old thief, how dare you laugh at me like this."

The Minister of Civil Affairs began to go berserk, licking people's necks with one hand and hammering people with the other.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance kept struggling.

The old man sitting between the two people exclaimed in surprise when he realized what was happening.

"Why are you two fighting again? It's not what I said, you two are so easy to fight every day."

Hearing the sound, a group of people pulled the two people away with all their hands. The Minister of Tobe held his neck and looked in pain.

"You bad old man, why are you so small-minded? I didn't make fun of you, so you just came over and pinched me like this."

"You are not the one I am laughing at. Don't quibble here. I have already seen clearly what you are like."

The Minister of Hubu covered his neck, pointed at the Minister of Libu and cursed angrily.

Before the anger of the Minister of Civil Affairs subsided, he immediately became angry.

The Minister of Hube pulled Jia Shan over, and Jia Shan looked at this scene in confusion.

It's not because you two were fighting, why did you pull him over?

Shangshu Hubu patted Jia Shan with his hand.

"Jashan, tell him who I am laughing at."

Jia Shan looked at the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance with resentment. After such a farce, why was he the only one injured?

Helpless, Jia Shan had no choice but to reveal her name as the hero.

Mr. Jia, who is known for his precociousness, can be so childish. Some people who don't know the inside story look at Jia Shan with smiles.

Jia Shan sat in her seat dully, you asked what happened.

The Minister of Hube patted Jia Shan on the shoulder, and Jia Shan looked at the Minister of Hube.

The Minister of Hubu smiled slightly at Jia Shan.

"Jia Shan, you have done well. I have a good fortune for you."

Jia Shan was startled, what kind of fate.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance quietly handed a note to Jia Shan, and Jia Shan opened it and took a look.

I was instantly shocked. There was a question written on it. This question could not be the question asked by the Chinese woman Qian Xiang opposite me.

The Minister of Hubu nodded towards Jia Shan.

The prince continued to whisper in Jia Shan’s ear.

"Whoever answers the question about Qian Xiang's Kingdom correctly will be rewarded with a hundred acres of land by the Emperor Father and will be awarded the title of Hanlin Lang."

This is not an ordinary creation, Hanlinlang is not an ordinary title.

Daqian had an unwritten rule that non-Hanlin officials were not allowed to join the cabinet.

There is no other way to enter the Hanlin Academy than to pass the exam.

Another way is to be deceived into being a Hanlin Lang.

And this Hanlin Lang is a Mengyin specially established for the descendants of civil servants who died for the country.

It is also one of the best rewards after the death of a civil servant.

This gift was too valuable, so Jia Shan stuffed the note back into the hands of the Minister of Revenue.

The Minister of Hubu looked at Jia Shan in surprise, and then stuffed the note back to Jia Shan.

"I don't need this thing, my descendants, so just take it."

The kindness of support will never be forgotten.

Jia Shan bowed deeply to the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

The Minister of Hubu helped Jia Shan up.

"If you want to repay me, rub the spirit of the Qianxiang Girl Country on this Yan."

"Yes!"

Jashan bowed again.

Seeing that the atmosphere of the banquet had reached its peak, the envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom stood up and saluted Princess Hengyang.

"Your Highness, do you still remember the promise His Majesty Emperor Daqian made to our country?"

Everyone's eyes turned towards the envoy of Qian Xiang's country. This was the purpose of their coming here.

Princess Hengyang, who was sitting behind the screen, nodded lightly.

"I remember, I just hope you won't regret it after the small country loses."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, our country values ​​trust most!"

Qian Xiang's daughter bowed to Princess Hengyang again, which caused everyone to laugh at her.

The envoy of Qianxiang Girl Kingdom was a little angry, but now he was outnumbered and no matter how angry he was, he couldn't get angry here.

The envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom gently waved her hand and brought an object.

This object is shaped like a block with other blocks on top of it.

The envoy of Qianxiang Girl Kingdom started twisting. Isn't this the fourth-order Rubik's Cube? A strange color flashed in Jia Shan's eyes.

When the Rubik's Cube was completely disrupted by the envoy from Qian Xiang's kingdom, he placed it on the plate again.

"The first question in our country is to restore this cube within a quarter of an hour. There are many talented people in Daqian Heaven, but some talented people can do it."

The Minister of Hube frowned, this person from Qian Xiang's country didn't play by the rules.

Jia Shan stared at the face of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance and knew that the title of Qianxiang Women's Kingdom had been changed.

Princess Hengyang glanced at the sitting talents with an unchanging expression.

"Does anyone want to step forward and try?"

"Student Wu Chihong wants to step forward and give it a try."

Wu Bihong, a talented man who was known as the best in miscellaneous studies in the Imperial College of Beijing, stood up.

The crowd cheered continuously, and Wu Cihong stepped forward and grabbed the Rubik's Cube in his hand.

Immediately, someone from Qian Xiang's country lit a stick of incense at their table.

The envoy of the Qianxiang Kingdom made a gesture of invitation to Wu Jihong.

Wu Cihong started twisting the Rubik's Cube. Halfway through the incense burning, Wu Cihong, who had never done anything before, twisted out two sides.However, no matter how hard he twisted, the rest was still a little bit off, and sweat fell from Wu Bihong's forehead.

After the incense was burned but not yet finished, Wu Chihong put down the Rubik's Cube with a dejected look on his face and returned to where he was sitting.

The atmosphere among the students in the hall became gloomy.

Wu Jihong, who is known as the number one in general knowledge, did not even restore the Rubik's Cube.

The envoy from the Qian Xiang Kingdom disrupted the Rubik's Cube again and glanced at the students from Beijing Middle School.

"But there is still something to try."

No one wanted to go up and embarrass themselves, so Jashan glanced at them and stood up from the stool.

In full view of everyone, he walked up to the envoy of Qian Xiang's country.

"I'll give it a try."

With that said, Jia Shan extended her hand towards the envoy of Qian Xiang's country.

The envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom was stunned.

"Sir, don't make trouble. You are just a child. How can you recover?"

Jia Shan raised her eyebrows, was she looking down on him?

He insisted on showing it to him.

Jia Shan snatched the Rubik's Cube from the envoy of Qian Xiang's Kingdom and thanked the university for not allowing him to bring any electronic equipment to his evening self-study, which helped him learn to twist the Rubik's Cube.

Jia Shan recited the Rubik's Cube formula silently in her mind, and quickly twisted a completely restored Rubik's Cube.

Jia Shan threw the Rubik's Cube back into the hands of the envoy from Qian Xiang's Kingdom.

"Do you know what Luban Lock is?"

The envoy from the Qian Xiang Kingdom nodded in shock.

Jashan spoke again.

"The complex Luban lock is much more difficult than this. In the future, don't do it with these children's toys."

With that said, Jia Shan snatched the Rubik's Cube away again, scrambled it, and solved it again at a faster speed.

In addition, Jia Shan also told the formula for the fourth-level Rubik's Cube.

The envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom was even more shocked, and the mockery filled her head.

A group of students booed and shouted Jia Shan’s stage name, Taotao Daxia!
Jashan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she waited until the cheers ended.

Jia Shan saluted Princess Hengyang on the high platform.

"Your Highness, I remember that some time ago, Master Wang from Jingzhong made a very difficult Luban Lock."

"Your Highness, can you please get that lock to open the eyes of the envoy of the Qianxiang Kingdom?"

Princess Hengyang showed a smile, this guy was wiry, but she liked him.

Princess Hengyang waved to the eunuch on the side.

The eunuch asked for it with understanding.

Princess Hengyang looked at the envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom.

"I have solved the problem of the women's country. You should reciprocate and try what I have done."

The envoy of the Qianxiang Female Kingdom beat a drum in his heart and waved his hands towards Princess Hengyang.

"How can we, a small and poor country with a poor culture, be able to answer the problems of the great country?"

"It doesn't matter, just think of me as giving you some insights."

Although Princess Hengyang said so, no one among the students present knew that it was Princess Hengyang who wanted to show off to them.

Master Wang's Naluban lock is used to prevent theft. If you make a wrong step when solving it, your fingers will be tied inside. However, if you want to take it out again, you will have to cut off your fingers.

Or they have to use the key, but that's what they want to see.

Especially some of the students who came from the southeastern coast, when they saw them, they wished they could skin these people from the Qianxiang Women's Kingdom and draw their blood.

After a while, the eunuch came with Master Wang's Luban lock.

Jia Shan pulled off the red cloth covering Lu Ban's lock.

The precision of the Luban Lock was displayed in front of the envoy of the Qianxiang Kingdom, and Jia Shan spoke.

"This lock is my master Wang's anti-theft lock. Don't blame me for not telling you how precise this lock is. If you make a wrong move, your hand will be trapped inside."

The envoy of the Qian Xiang Kingdom swallowed her saliva.

"Is there a way to get my hand out if it's stuck in there?"

Jia Shan smiled lightly and covered Lu Ban's red hijab again.

"Just open it with the key."

The envoy of Qianxiang Female Kingdom took a deep breath and bowed to Jia Shan.

"Thank you for your explanation, young master."

Jashan waved her hand indifferently.

"The key was lost a month ago and has become an unsolvable thing in this capital. Now that you are here, you can solve it for me."

"Let me challenge these ignorant students to see how powerful students from other countries are."

A group of students started to cheer again, noisily asking the envoy of Qian Xiang's country to try.

The envoy of Qianxiang Female Kingdom looked at these students and felt a little bit stuck.

Jia Shan's eyes flashed with ridicule.

"Envoy, don't you be afraid?"

The envoy of the female Qianxiang Kingdom wiped her sweat and could not lose the country's face.

The envoy of Qianxiang Female Kingdom fell on the thin man at the end of the envoy group.

"Nakajima Kojiro, give it a try."

The little Baga named Kojiro was stunned and refused to move.

The deputy envoy of Akane's mission came to Kojiro and lifted him up.

Then, without knowing what he said, Kojiro came to the center of the hall with a look of defeat.

"This is the person sent by your country."

Jia Shan set her sights on Kojiro, and the envoy of Akane Xiang's country smiled flatteringly at Jia Shan.

"Exactly!"

"Not bad!"

Jia Shan praised it and took off the red cloth. Xiao Baga, named Kojiro, tremblingly began to untie the complicated Luban lock under the watchful eyes of the envoy from Qian Xiang's country.

After taking it apart for more than ten steps, my hand was locked inside.

Kojiro was so frightened that he started crying.

Jia Shan looked at the envoy of Qian Xiang’s country with regret.

"It's a pity that this talented man from your country may not be able to save his hand."

Kojiro fell to the ground, uttering a bird's voice, not knowing what he was talking about.

But the more he spoke, the paler Kojiro's face turned.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jia Shan looked at Princess Hengyang.

Now it's Princess Hengyang's turn to take action.

Princess Hengyang invited Master Wang here, and the envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom was ready to start the operation.

"Envoy, please don't take action first."

Princess Hengyang stopped the envoy of Qianxiang Female Kingdom with quick eyes and hands, and the envoy of Qianxiang Female Kingdom looked at Princess Hengyang in confusion.

"Your Highness, what advice do you have?"

Princess Hengyang nodded.

"This is a feast of cultural exchanges between the two countries. How can we use the knife? I have invited Master Wang here."

The eunuch brought Master Wang up.

Master Wang, who was brought here, had already been explained the situation by the eunuch, and he calmly bowed to Princess Hengyang.

Princess Hengyang nodded lightly.

"This thing was created by you. There is a way to untie it."

Master Wang pretended to look at her for a few times and shook his head towards Princess Hengyang.

"The key has been lost, and even ordinary people cannot unlock it."

"The master may be able to copy the key."

Princess Hengyang spoke again.

Master Wang looked at the keyhole for a few times.

"Yes, but it will take a few days."

Princess Hengyang looked at the envoy from the Qianxiang Kingdom.

Knowing that it was a conspiracy, the envoy of Qian Xiang's country had to let Kojiro leave with Master Wang.

As the banquet continued, Qianxiang Girl Country came up with two questions one after another, and these two questions matched the piece of paper they got.

The envoy of the Qianxiang Kingdom suddenly turned pale and wanted to commit suicide on the spot.
