The whole Zhen Mansion, a good wedding, has become a bit tense.
Zhen Yan, the second young master of the Zhen family, quickly advised, "Well, since Mr. Guo has chosen Mr. Yi to pass the test on his behalf, then... don't just talk about it, and do something practical... Come on, please go to the first level.
"
first round…
After these three words blurted out, Xu You stopped talking. He retreated to the table, his mouth slightly grinning, as if with a touch of mockery.
Speaking of which, these three levels are nominally test questions given by Zhen Yan.
In fact, each level was set by Xu You. There will never be anyone in this world who can pass these three levels.
Not long after...
A servant raised a tall bamboo pole and walked over slowly... Everyone looked carefully and saw that the bamboo pole was very high. Even if ten people could stand it up, it would not be so high. However, it was tied to the top of the bamboo pole.
A chicken, a cooked chicken.
Um...this is?
Guo Jia seemed to understand something, and Yi Xiaotian also figured out the reason. On the contrary, there were a crowd of melon-eating people watching, whispering to each other, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the test question of the second son of the Zhen family?
But at this moment, Zhen Yan's voice came out one after another.
"Master Yi, take a look... there is a roasted chicken on the highest point of this bamboo pole. If you have the ability to remove this roasted chicken, I will not only treat you to the roasted chicken, but also consider you to have passed this level? How about that?"
"Is it that simple?" Yi Xiaotian spread his hands and asked curiously.
"Of course not." Zhen Yan shook his head. "First of all, you can't break this bamboo pole, and you can't hold it horizontally. You're not allowed to put anything under your feet, and you're not allowed to use Qinggong or martial arts. Do you think that's okay?"
Phew...as soon as these words came out...
Everyone in the house was in an uproar. How could it be possible to remove the roasted chicken from the top of such a tall bamboo pole without breaking it, holding it horizontally, without putting anything on it, or using light skills?
Although this question is not tacky, it is full of malice... It seems that the person who asked the question took great pains to limit all the conditions for passing the test.
"Second brother, how could you possibly get this!" Zhen Luo complained about Yi Xiaotian...
"Yes, you have too many restrictions." Zhen Yao also frowned, "Second brother, you can just judge Mr. Guo as a failure. What else is there to test?"
"Ha ha ha ha…"
A loud laugh came, and Xu You was laughing again. It seemed that the angrier Zhen Luo and Zhen Yao were, the happier he became. After all, it was he who asked this malicious question...
"As a son-in-law of the Zhen family, not only must he be capable, but his friends must also be capable..."
Xu You glanced at Yi Xiaotian with disdain. "If Mr. Yi fails to complete the test, it can only be blamed on Mr. Guo for being unkind to others, hahahaha..."
The wild laughter and arrogance also indicate that Xu You is bound to win the wedding.
Different from the panic and laughter of others, Guo Jia and Yi Xiaotian, as the protagonists, are very calm...
"Brother Yi."
Guo Jia raised his eyes and looked at Yi Xiaotian, with a smile on his lips. "Such a child's question, isn't it difficult for Brother Yi?"
While speaking, Guo Jia glanced at the southeast corner of the courtyard...
Yi Xiaotian noticed Guo Jia's subtle reminder early in the morning.
The two drank happily many times, and they had long been roundworms in each other's stomachs. What did Guo Jia mean? How could Yi Xiaotian not understand it?
"Ha ha…"
I saw Yi Xiaotian laughing out loud, and then waving his hand. "Since it can't be broken, it can't be held horizontally, it can't be placed on something, and it can't be used with Qinggong, then we can only try other methods."
While talking, Yi Xiaotian walked up to the bamboo pole, held the bamboo pole with both hands and slowly walked towards the southeast corner of the pavilion...
There is a well…
Similar to a wealthy compound like Zhen's Mansion, a well is dug in each pavilion to facilitate the servants to draw water. According to Feng Shui, the location of the well is often in the southeast of the courtyard.
Yi Xiaotian noticed this well early in the morning, and he was familiar with it... He quickly walked to the well with the bamboo pole...
Then he used both hands to slowly sink the bamboo pole into the well.
The bamboo pole fell into the well and became shorter and shorter. The roast chicken at the top of the bamboo pole was getting closer and closer to Yi Xiaotian.
In just ten breaths, Yi Xiaotian reached out and took out the roasted chicken, pulled out a leg, and started chewing it with relish.
He blinked at Guo Jia, and then said with a smile.
"The chicken roasted by our Zhen Mansion is delicious... Good luck, let's eat chicken tonight!"
…
Huo...this!
Everyone in the audience was astonished that a well was used to solve the problem of getting chickens on tall bamboo poles...
This Mr. Yi is so wise.
"Sir, you are so awesome!" Zhen Luo danced with joy.
The same goes for Zhen Yao. He kept nodding. "Speaking of it, Brother Guo and Brother Yi are both the smartest people in the world. Together, they can solve even the most difficult problems!"
At this moment…
Zhen Yan's face changed slightly, but he was not the one whose face changed the most. The faces of Xu You and his nephew Xu Yuan had completely turned green, greener than the hats on their heads!
Just like that... so calmly and easily, he solved the problem that Xu You had worked so hard to figure out!
this…
Xu You wanted to roar, yell, and vent his resentment and dissatisfaction, but he held it back. Let's read on...
"Boy, don't be complacent! It's just good luck for a moment, you will suffer the consequences next!" Xu You muttered in a low voice.
At the same time, Zhen Yan had already spoken.
"Here, please take the second test question..."
The tone is serious and the tone is sonorous.
It was as if his attitude towards Yi Xiaotian had changed 180 degrees. As expected, smart people are surrounded by smart people. With their brains, it really is not difficult for them.
But this...this second level cannot be solved by just relying on your brain. This is a test question that Xu You has planted that you will definitely lose.
While my mind was racing, a maid brought up a tray with two opened rice dumplings on it... Logically speaking, this is not the Dragon Boat Festival, so why prepare rice dumplings?
Everyone suddenly started to murmur...
At the same time, Zhen Yan's words came out one after another. "The so-called destiny is destined by heaven. Our Zhen family has always been about following the natural timing, so this second question is not a competition of talents, but a competition of luck and fate... The test question is to choose rice dumplings!"
Hmm...choose rice dumplings?
this…
All of a sudden, everyone in the house was talking about it. The question in this wedding question was actually choosing rice dumplings? This is really unheard of and unseen!
"Tell me about it..." Yi Xiaotian puffed up his chest, looking confident.
"Master Yi, what you have in front of you are two rice dumplings. Qu Yuan is the most admired figure in our Zhen family, so our Zhen family makes rice dumplings every month, and there is something special about these rice dumplings..."
Zhen Yan explained carefully.
"The two rice dumplings are wrapped with dates of different colors, which is destined to have a completely different marriage... If the rice dumplings are wrapped with brown-black dates, it means God is not optimistic about this marriage; on the contrary, if the rice dumplings are wrapped with dates,
It is a bright red date, which means that God is optimistic about this marriage, and it is destined by fate. Mr. Yi, please choose one for your good brother!"
Huo...isn't this just drawing lots?
Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and then looked at Guo Jia.
Guo Jia didn't give any hints about this question. Instead, he kept laughing, heartily and cheerfully. This expression seemed to indicate something else.
Yi Xiaotian couldn't help but slowly look around at everyone around him.
At this moment, similar to Guo Jia, Xu You is also smiling, grinning from ear to ear. He is simply a very weak and powerful villain! Full of conspiracy theories are written on his face...
Yi Xiaotian finally understood...
This second test question, ah no... to be precise, these three test questions should be all asked by Xu You, and his crazy smile not only confirms his guess - these two rice dumplings are filled with black
of dates!
In other words, no matter which rice dumpling he chooses, Yi Xiaotian will lose, and Guo Jia will not be able to hold the beauty back...
Haha, it turned out to be a lottery proposition that was bound to fail.
Thinking of this, Yi Xiaotian narrowed his eyes...
From this inevitable question, he really found some opportunities for victory.
