One hundred and thirtieth chapters side by side king
Unexpectedly, An Mengqi was as calm as ever, slowly picking up the tea cup in her hand and taking a sip calmly, not caring at all about the eyes of others staring at her.
But the eunuch spoke again: "My princess already knew that someone would ask this question, so she told our family the method a long time ago.
You don’t have to worry, according to my princess’ method, everyone present can be thoroughly examined in less than half an hour.”
Everyone was greatly surprised. What kind of method could test everyone one by one within half an hour?
If An Mengqi really has such ability, then her intelligence is really extraordinary.
In the hall, an old man in his sixties, with a kind appearance and a somewhat scholarly temperament, suddenly said: "I am just a pharmacist's apprentice at a medical clinic in Maple Leaf City. I have a humble name, so there is no need to worry about it.
I came here just to ask the Seventh Princess, you have traveled throughout the entire Kingdom of Great Xia in the past six months, but can you find a single alchemist, even the lowest level alchemist...
It is said that when you asked the king for the title of King of One Word, you also made a bet with the king that you would use this title to find a real alchemist for the royal family.
Now that the bet is coming, the Seventh Princess must already have a candidate in mind. In that case, why bother coming here to recruit and hold a talent selection meeting now?"
Jiang Bufan's eyes showed admiration. This old man obviously had good medicine preparation methods. When everyone was focusing on the temptation of "One Word Side by Side King", this old man could think that this "One Word Side by Side King" might have already existed.
Picked the candidate.
Now that this recruitment conference is being held in Jiang Mansion, firstly, An Mengqi does not want to refuse Jiang Bufan's warm invitation.
Secondly, she, An Mengqi, was afraid that she might not be very fond of a few of the backup candidates, so it would be more appropriate to see if she could find a few more at this recruitment meeting.
As for the candidate for the title of "One Word Side by Side", to be honest, she already has one in mind.
Obviously Jiang Bufan also knew this, so he withdrew from this competition.
In Jiang Bufan's eyes, apart from the fact that the King of Side by Side can catch his eye, he can easily obtain other things through his father's power.
In this way, he naturally did not want to ask An Mengqi for help in this matter.
The fact that this old man could tell the key to the problem in one word made Jiang Bufan want to recruit him.
Nowadays, there are signs of great chaos in the Great Xia Kingdom, and various strange people and hermits have appeared one after another. If the major forces can recruit a real talent, they will have more capital in this troubled world.
Presumably, his father agreed to hold this talent recruitment meeting. On the one hand, it was for the sake of friendship with the royal family, and on the other hand, he also had the intention of recruiting talents along the way.
So when he heard what the old man said, he immediately took a liking to this little-known old man, and gave instructions to his subordinates to find out the old man's origins or background to see if he could be used for his own purposes.
After hearing what the old man said, everyone looked at An Mengqi again, secretly thinking that in your mind, you already have a suitable candidate for King Yi Zi Side by Side.
In this case, if you are holding this talent selection meeting now, aren't you deliberately teasing everyone...
Just when everyone was dissatisfied, the eunuch's voice sounded again: "This problem is not a problem at all.
My lady selects talents, and it has always been the survival of the fittest. As long as your talents are better than those in my princess's mind, you will naturally get everything you want.
However, here, our family must also tell you that the current backup candidates were all selected by my lady after traveling to all major regions of the Kingdom of Daxia in the past six months.
When you challenge them again, you'd better consider whether you have this ability, and you can't end up with a disgraced face and be laughed at out of thin air."
As soon as the Jinyi eunuch said these words, everyone immediately understood. It was obvious that An Mengqi had gone through the world and selected the candidates for half a year before finally finalizing the backup candidates.
In this way, those backup candidates are obviously people chosen from thousands of miles away. Now it is not that difficult to find someone here who can surpass those backup candidates.
The eunuch in golden clothes said loudly: "My princess announced that the assessment will begin now, everyone, watch." He jumped up and instantly jumped onto the beam in the hall.
From the ground to the center of the beam, it was four or five feet high. Who knew that he didn't need to use any force at all and jumped up like lightning.
I have long heard that there is a shadow eunuch beside An Mengqi, whose strength is unfathomable. Everyone has heard of his name for a long time, but has never seen him.
At this time, everyone was shocked when they saw the ability of this eunuch in golden clothes to cross the void, and they thought: "This eunuch is probably the shadow eunuch who is rumored to accompany An Mengqi like a shadow."
Jiang Bufan, Han Xiaotian, Zuo Guichan and others in the field were all secretly shocked when they saw such appalling movements.
The eunuch in golden clothes fell on the beam, raised his hand to Jiang Bufan, and said: "I want to borrow the Four Treasures of the Study from your mansion!"
Jiang Bufan nodded slightly and saw Han Xiaotian quickly ordering his servants to go to the study to get the Four Treasures of the Study.
When everyone saw the eunuch in brocade jumping onto the beam and asking for the Four Treasures of the Study from the Jiang Mansion, they immediately knew that their assessment was about to officially begin.
It's just that everyone is a little confused. You can just take the test. What are you doing by jumping on someone else's roof? Could it be that this test is faster than everyone else who can demolish the tiles?
Of course this was a joke, but everyone really didn't understand that the eunuch in golden clothes jumping onto the beam had anything to do with their assessment.
About three or four minutes later, a servant from the Jiang Mansion came over with a large roll of white paper and a huge writing brush.
In addition, there was a large jar filled with ink that was carried by four servants. They carefully walked over and placed it on the hall.
Han Xiaotian smiled and said: "Our government has prepared these items in advance according to the father-in-law's instructions. I don't know if they are in line with the father-in-law's wishes."
The eunuch in golden clothes nodded and said: "I agree, I agree greatly. I'm sorry for your trouble, but this paper is so huge, I'm afraid there are even fewer people who can show off their talents."
Everyone in the hall wondered: "What do you mean, father-in-law?"
The eunuch in Jinyi smiled mysteriously and said: "The bigger the paper, the bigger the characters. The bigger the characters, the more people can see clearly, and the more people can see clearly, the fewer people can play."
Speaking of this, the eunuch in brocade suddenly shouted: "Please light the lanterns in the inner and outer courtyards."
Jiang Mansion's servants followed the instructions and lit up all the lanterns outside and in the inner courtyard. Suddenly the lights were bright as day.
The eunuch in brocade took out the paper and pen, stood firm on the beam, divided a piece of white paper about ten feet long into ten parts, divided them into ten directions, and pasted them on the beam one by one.
After doing all this, he shouted: "Everyone, take a look." He picked up the huge brush, took a deep breath of heavenly energy, held the brush with both hands, and pushed it forward.
Everyone felt a strong wind blowing on their faces, and an invisible force gathered in the hall. Just as everyone's eyes were forced to retreat by this force, the note attached to the beam suddenly moved and floated up in the air.
, was actually hung directly in mid-air by the eunuch's palm.
Seeing that these papers were so long and there was nothing hanging in the air, who would have thought that the eunuch in brocade clothes would actually hang them in the air with the formless wind of his palm. With his strength, he could really look down upon the martial arts world.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses and burst into cheers!
The eunuch in brocade pointed to the white paper floating in the air and said: "On the first piece of white paper above, there are various medicinal materials drawn by my princess herself.
As long as someone can name any one of them, they can get the corresponding reward above. The rewards range from gold, silver and jewelry to noble titles. I wonder if you have any objections?"
As soon as these words came out, whether it was people in the outer courtyard, people in the inner courtyard, or people in the hall, you were looking at me, and I was looking at you, with hesitant expressions on their faces.
It can be said that this assessment method is too simple, but sometimes, the assessment method is too simple, and that may not be a good thing.
Just looking at the eunuch's imposing manner, the medicinal materials on the ten sheets of white paper must be very rare. It would be so embarrassing if he came on stage rashly and couldn't recognize even one of them.
Therefore, no one wants to be the first person. If he does appear on the stage and fails to solve a single question, he will definitely be ridiculed and ridiculed.
As a result, no one in the audience made a sound.
The eunuch in brocade turned to look at Jiang Bufan and the old man, and asked, "What do you two think of this method?"
The old man nodded and said: "This method saves time and effort, and can greatly reduce everyone's assessment time. I am the first to agree."
The eunuch in Jinyi smiled and said: "Since the old gentleman has no objections, what about Mr. Jiang? As the host here, do you have any objections?"
Jiang Bufan looked back at An Mengqi and chuckled: "I don't understand these things about refining medicine.
You just follow Miss An's instructions and don't bother with me, an idler." The implication is that he is very supportive of An Mengqi's arrangements. No matter what method An Mengqi uses to assess, it is expected that
He won't object to it.
The eunuch in Jinyi nodded and said: "Since the representatives of both parties have no objection, let's officially start now!" He looked at the old man and said with a smile: "Our family is bold and wants to ask the old gentleman to take the lead."
The old man shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said: "I am just a layman, and I am over fifty years old. There is no need to participate in such things."
When everyone in the hall heard this, they all expressed disapproval, thinking that since you are not here for reward, why would you attend this banquet?
Seeing that the old man was unwilling to play, everyone assumed that the old man must be lacking in ability, so they did not dare to play.
The eunuch in Jinyi shook his head and said: "Even if the old gentleman intends to give in, he cannot ignore the dignity of your medical office.
If you don’t end up today, your medical clinic will not be immune to ridicule in the future..."
The old man didn't expect that the eunuch in golden clothes would capture people's hearts like this. After a long while, he finally sighed and said: "My father-in-law is right. I'm just going to make a point here, so I'll be a guide."
He walked step by step to the first piece of white paper, opened a corner of it, and was silent for a long time before writing on it the name of the medicinal material and its effect after mixing.
After the old man finished writing, the eunuch in golden clothes put his palms together and pushed forward.
Everyone felt a gentle breeze blowing, the white paper swayed for a while, and suddenly turned over, and the old man's explanation about the first medicinal material was printed on it.
Everyone saw that the old man's explanation of this medicinal material was mediocre, old-fashioned and without any subtlety. For a moment, no one applauded.
