Xu Janggeum nodded slightly and said: "Thank you, sir. In that case, Janggeum will set an example first." Now the two sides are in a competitive relationship. In order to help Goryeo achieve her wish, Palace Lady Xu will naturally not be polite to Lord Lin.
She took a thick red candle, cut off three-quarters, then pierced a small hole in the remaining section parallel to the twister, passed the silk thread through it, and then used the candle to Seal it, and then cut the silk thread with the candle completely.
"Little sister, can you give me the nine-curved jade bead?" Palace Lady Xu smiled at Cuiyun and said kindly.
The little palace maid handed the jade bead to her. Xu Changjin placed the hole of the nine-curved jade bead perpendicular to the ground, put the silk thread facing the entrance of the nine-curved jade bead, and slowly inserted it. The inside of the jade bead is twisted and twisted, and the first half of the silk thread is wrapped with a candle, which is tight and difficult to pass through. Lady Xu carefully lit the red candle and baked it against the curved hole. The wax thread was softened by the heat and then slowly entered along the curved hole.
This idea happens to be that the silk thread is sealed with a candle. The candle softens when heated, and the candle tears flow downward, driving the silk thread forward. But it requires clever coordination. If it is delayed by one point, it may lead to the situation where the candle seals the curved hole. Xu Changjin is clever and handy. With her eyes wide open, she carefully threads the silk thread without any slack. There is a light layer of sweat on the tip of her jade-like nose, which makes her look very beautiful.
What a clever and stupid method. Lin Wanrong snickered when he saw it. This method could be accomplished by a patient and perseverant woman like Xu Changjin, but it would definitely not work if it had been anyone else. However, this palace lady Seo just embodies the national character of the Korean people. This is indeed worth learning from Dahua.
The nine-curved jade bead was rugged and winding. It took Xu Changjin a long time to go back and forth several times before he passed the silk thread with the candle through the small hole. However, the inside of the jade bead had been sealed by the candle. Although the silk thread had been threaded Passed, but couldn't pull it. Even so, no one had come up with this method. Everyone on the scene admired Xu Changjin's skill and perseverance, and they immediately burst into applause to celebrate her passing the test.
Palace Maid Xu smiled shyly, bowed to the little palace lady Cuiyun and said, "I'm sorry. Although it has been passed through, the thread cannot be pulled, which has caused trouble for you."
Cuiyun said hurriedly: "Sister, since the thread has been passed through, you will naturally pass."
Palace Lady Xu smiled slightly and said to Lin Wanrong: "My lord, it's time to come to you."
The little palace maid Cuiyun had already lit the candle and melted the blockage in the curved hole. After the jade beads cool down, water is poured through the holes and the water drops drip. After proving that there was no blockage inside, he handed the jade beads to Lin Wanrong.
Lin Wanrong took out a thin bamboo tube from his arms and said with a smile: "The tools I use may be a bit unique. Don't be afraid, girls." He opened the bamboo tube and a small ant crawled out of it. Cuiyun was frightened. Ah screamed, Xu Changjin's beautiful eyes flashed, looking at him doubtfully.
Lin Wanrong took the silk thread and carefully tied it to the ant's leg. Then he fixed the nine-hole jade bead on the table and spread some honey on the other end. Xu Changjin said oh, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Guessing that the smell of honey was almost gone, Lin Wanrong placed the little ant in the jade hole. Ants have a keen sense of smell. When they smell the smell of honey, they go away in search of the smell and pierce the jade hole in a few clicks.
Everyone looked at it and blinked, is this okay? If Xu Changjin's method is accidental and non-replicable, then Lin San's method is simply suitable for a three-year-old child. It's so damn simple. How did this kid come up with it?
"Hahahaha——" the emperor smiled heartily and said: "Brother Wang Cheng, you are really discerning. Xu Aiqing, this Lin San is indeed a talent."
"Your Majesty, I'll tell you the truth. After having been in contact with Lin San for a long time, Wei Chen always has a feeling that there seems to be nothing in this world that can stump him." Xu Wei said with a smile.
"Really?" The emperor smiled deeply.
"Sir, how did you come up with this?" Xu Changjin looked at Lin Wanrong and asked curiously.
Master Lin smiled profoundly: "If you don't complain in front of the emperor next time, I will tell you." Xu Changjin's face turned red and he was embarrassed to speak.
"The first question will be answered by Mr. Lin and Prince Goryeo." The little palace maid Cuiyun announced.
"Lu Dongzan, what do you think we should do? They have already answered one question." Ashler said anxiously to the think tank beside him with a worried look on his face.
"Don't be anxious, Ashle, there will always be opportunities. There are still three questions." Lu Dongzan answered confidently.
"Second question." Cuiyun tore open another lacquered envelope and saw hundreds of soldiers suddenly approaching from a distance. They were carried in groups of three, carrying a log. There were as many as a hundred logs, all of the same thickness. .
"For this question, there are a hundred logs of the same thickness. Please separate the roots and tips of each log." Cuiyun said softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene became quiet. These logs are all the same thickness, how can they separate the roots and tips?
Xu Changjin was still thinking deeply, but he heard two voices saying at the same time: "I can separate."
A voice came from afar, speaking blunt Chinese, and it was made by Ludongzan, the think tank next to the Turkic envoy Asile. Another voice came from the side of Palace Maid Xu, the one who had just played with ants, Lin Sanlin.
Xu Changjin said in disbelief: "Sir, can you really do it?"
Lin Wanrong chuckled: "Maybe, you have to try it before you know."
Lu Dongzan also came up to the stage. When he saw Lin Wanrong, he cupped his fists and said, "I, Lu Dongzan, am under the Turkic Piga Khan and have met Mr. Lin."
Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "We are guests from afar. Since Brother Lu has a way to tell which side is the root and which side is the tip, I invite you to come first."
Lu Dongzan smiled and nodded: "It is actually not difficult to distinguish tree roots from treetops, but it may require some destructive activities. People age, and trees have annual rings. The closer to the roots of the tree, the deeper and more obvious the annual rings are. , I, the Turkic warrior, only need to cut the heads and tails of these hundred logs and distinguish the colors of the annual rings, and then I can identify the heads and tails, roots and tips. "
Whatever the age of the tree rings, I still heard about it all at once, and everyone was confused. Only Lin Wanrong nodded slightly. The Turks can stand for many years without falling. They do have talents. If nothing else, Lu Dongzan is one of them. Big trees have growth rings. This is a truth often mentioned in later generations, but when it is said from a Turkic person in this generation, it becomes increasingly extraordinary.
"Xu Aiqing, is Lu Dongzan right?" the emperor frowned deeply and asked.
Xu Wei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, my little girl Zhiqing has studied this before. Trees have annual rings. The ground is true. The closer to the root of the tree, the more obvious the annual rings are. This Lu Dongzan is not a mortal, he is The number one think tank in the Turkic Bijia Khan's tent is known as the National Master. I'm afraid he will win this time." [Heaven's Kiss Hand Fight]
"Where's Lin San? Is it possible for Lin San to win?" The emperor suddenly said, with a hint of hope in his eyes.
"I don't dare to judge this. If you want to defeat Lu Dongzan, unless Lin San comes up with a better way." Xu Wei said.
While he was talking, Lu Dongzan ordered his Turkic shears to cut open a large tree from the head and tail, and sure enough, deep growth rings were exposed at one end. Xu Changjin nodded and said softly: "The world is so big and full of wonders. Jangjin learned new knowledge today."
Seeing that Lu Dongzan wanted to order people to saw other logs again, Lin Wanrong hurriedly stopped him with a smile and said: "Brother Lu, it is as you said, your method is extremely destructive. Let's do this, little brother There is also a method to verify the tops and bottoms of trees. After the younger brother has finished the verification, he will ask Brother Lu to choose ten of them and saw them open. This two-phase verification can check whether the younger brother's method is wrong, and secondly, it can save resources for tree planting. Afforestation is not easy, we must care for the trees and the forest."
Lu Dong nodded in praise and said: "This method is very good, how can you verify it?"
Lin Wanrong walked out slowly, fisted at the hundreds of soldiers who came to fight against the logs, and said, "Brothers, please help me push these logs into the river."
Xu Changjin and Lu Dongzan both looked at Lin Wanrong's every move curiously. Xu Wei clapped his hands and said angrily: "Oh, why didn't I think of this? Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, this time, we won again."
After the logs entered the water, they bounced in the water for a few times and then gradually calmed down. At this time, something strange appeared. A log of the same thickness had completely different ups and downs at both ends. Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Brother Lu, in my opinion, for the same log, what floats on the water is the tree tops, and what sinks is the roots. What do you think?"
Lu Dongzan gave a thumbs up and said: "Mr. Lin, you are really knowledgeable and talented. You can come up with such a simple method. I admire you very much."
Ashler hurriedly came over and said: "Lu Dongzan, what is going on? Why are the treetops the ones that float on the water and the roots that sink in the water?"
Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "The big trees face the sun, and the water comes from the roots. Therefore, the roots are thick and the tree tops are slightly lighter. The thickness looks the same on the surface, but there are differences on the inside. Let's choose ten trees at will and check the annual rings. Know."
Soldiers had already stepped forward to select ten logs and sawed them open. As Lin Wanrong said, the heavy ones are the roots and the light ones are the tips. There is no doubt that the method chosen by Lin Wanrong is more concise and practical. Both Lin San and Tujue can pass this time, but Lin San overwhelming Tujue is an indisputable fact that even Lu Dongzan cannot deny.
"Sir, where did you get all this knowledge? Can I learn from you?" Xu Changjin was so impressed that he couldn't help but ask.
"Self-study, basically self-study." Lin Wanrong laughed: "Ms. Xu, you want to become a disciple of me? Oh, this is not good. I have always had trouble controlling myself when facing beautiful women. What if something happens to you and me? What, how can it be worthy of the long-standing friendship between our two countries? It's better not to do it."
Two beautiful clouds flew over Palace Lady Xu's jade-like cheeks. She lowered her head and did not dare to speak for a long time.
