Chapter 734: The picture shows a poor dagger 3
Xue Ruyue turned around and said to Mr. Huang, "Master Huang, I agree to Mr. Tao's request for a competition."
Mr. Huang was taken aback and said, "Miss Xue, you have to think carefully. This matter concerns you for the rest of your life."
Xue Ruyue smiled softly, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I have confidence, little girl. What's more, there is Bi Yuntao." Bi Yuntao's name was particularly heavy.
Seeing Xue Ruyue being so determined, Huang Laoqing sighed. However, thinking about the discussion about the national war that day and seeing Bi Yuntao's unique insights and being able to speak such bold words, he felt a lot more relieved.
Everyone in the hall did not expect that today's events would turn into this scene. This was much more beautiful and exciting than that annual business meeting, and everyone started to make a noise. That Liu Yue'e hurriedly took Xue Ruyue's hand and said, "Sister, I support you."
A cold light flashed in Tao Pengju's eyes, and he cupped his fists at Mr. Huang and said, "Sir, since Xue Ruyue has agreed, for the sake of fairness, the students suggest that the order of the questions be determined by drawing lots."
"This is natural." Huang Lao said solemnly, and asked Meng Ruolang to prepare the signature.
As a result of the drawing of lots, Xue Ruyue drew "A" and Tao Pengju drew "B".
After the drawing of lots was completed, Meng Ruolang explained to everyone present: "Miss Xue has drawn A, so this is the right to ask questions first. The Xue family will choose first for the civil and military questions, and the remaining question will be automatically given to Tao. Family. The one the Tao family drew is B, which means they have the right to ask questions first, so they can ask questions of their own choice first."
Xue Ruyue was in trouble holding the lottery, so she discussed with Bi Yuntao: "Now that we have the right to write first, should we choose literature or martial arts first?"
Bi Yuntao pondered for a moment and said: "We need Wen Quan. We have two of us here, so I'm sorry they won't be able to ask any questions. We are not familiar with Wu Quan, so we should let us come up with the questions."
Xue Ruyue had the same idea and chose Wen Quan. Tao Pengju smiled coldly and said, "I have the right to ask questions first, and then it will be my turn to ask questions."
As the intermediary, Mr. Huang glanced at Xue Ruyue, and seeing Xue Ruyue nodding, Mr. Huang said to Tao Pengju: "Since Miss Xue has made their choice, then Mr. Tao, you can ask."
Tao Pengju's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said: "Everyone here is a businessman, and eyesight is our most common skill. This question of mine is to test your eyesight and insight."
Xue Ruyue was shocked. She originally thought that Tao Pengju's literary test was about poetry and lyrics, but she didn't expect that it was actually a test on his eyesight. There are so many things in the world, how can two people see them all? This competition is probably going to end badly.
Bi Yuntao seemed to have seen through Xue Ruyue's thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." The eldest lady smiled sweetly. This bad guy usually looks heartless, but when it comes to serious matters, he will do everything. Be generous.
Tao Pengju saw the two men's hesitant glances, but he proudly took out a small box from his arms and slowly opened the box. Inside was a piece of small stone-like things about three-thirds of the size of his pinky fingernail, like countless It is made up of dots of small stones, which are crystal clear and sparkle under the refraction of the sun. They are colorful and fascinating.
Not only Xue Ruyue was like this, but everyone was also astonished, even Mr. Huang was extremely shocked. What is this? Is it a stone? So beautiful and bright, but I have never seen it before. Among the crowd, there was a slight flash of astonishment on one person's face, and then his face returned to normal. He had seen his sister wearing these crystal clear and transparent stones. It was the ones that his eldest brother had given to his sister at the Hanfeng Temple. , My sister is very precious, and the stones on that necklace are bigger than these combined.
Tao Pengju saw everyone's expressions in his eyes, and bursts of pride flashed across his face, saying: "Miss Xue, do you know what this is? Do you know its origin? If you answered correctly, this time it will be I lost."
Xue Ruyue clenched her silver teeth. Not only had she seen this thing before, but she had never even heard of it. She had no way of recognizing it. Are you going to lose this essay test? She felt sad and looked over to Bi Yuntao, only to see that he was also deep in thought.
Xue Ruyue thought Bi Yuntao couldn't recognize it either, so she sighed in her heart and said: "We... this stone..."
"We know this stone!" Bi Yuntao interrupted her and said with a smile.
Xue Ruyue was surprised and happy. After listening to Bi Yuntao's words, she instantly felt happy as if she had come back from the dead.
"Do you recognize what this is?" Tao Pengju said with disbelief on his face.
However, Mr. Huang had a deep understanding of Bi Yuntao's extensive knowledge. He himself was a knowledgeable person and had a natural interest in these weird things. He hurriedly said to Bi Yuntao: "Brother Bi, tell me quickly. What is this?"
Bi Yuntao chuckled and did not respond to Huang Lao's words. Instead, he looked at Tao Pengju and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing is not produced in China. I'm afraid it's an imported product."
He is very familiar with this thing. He even gave Meng Ruoxi a necklace, and he still has a fist-sized one in his hand.
"How do you know?" Tao Pengju was startled, then realized and said disdainfully: "I just want you to know what imported products are like, but you are blind. Tell me the name and origin of this thing quickly."
Bi Yuntao chuckled and said: "Even if you have this thing, I'm afraid it's not in large quantity, and I don't know which ghost guy you got it from."
He cupped his fist at Huang Laoyi and said: "Master Huang, for the sake of fairness, I would like to ask Mr. Tao to write down the name and origin of this thing on paper and give it to you for safekeeping, and then guess again. Just in case I guess correctly. , someone referred to a deer as a horse and forcibly changed the name of this thing."
Mr. Huang nodded and said: "That's right, Mr. Tao, please write it down. I've made it clear beforehand that no one may recognize this strange thing. Mr. Tao, please don't just make up a false name to deceive me." Old man."
Old Man Huang was an old man, and his words were very harsh. Tao Pengju had the intention to cheat, but he didn't have the courage. Huang Laonai is a cabinet scholar, so he may not recognize this thing. Tao Pengju was afraid, so he followed Mr. Huang's instructions and wrote a line of small words on the paper.
Mr. Huang nodded slightly and said to Bi Yuntao: "Now, little brother Bi, you can tell me what this is."
Bi Yuntao smiled and said: "This thing is actually nothing unusual. Just like the gold and silver jewelry, pearls and jade, they are all used as decorations for girls. However, what is different from those gold and silver jewelry is that this thing meaning."
