Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Page 1926

No need to ask, there must be collusion between Hu Bahai and Wu Yuanqing!Otherwise, even if Wu Yuanqing didn't recognize the origin of this object, he wouldn't have agreed to pay 200 million guan!

This stuff can't be eaten when hungry, can't be worn when cold, and doesn't have any special abilities.It can be said that it is useless except as an ornament!

That being the case, why does Wu Yuanqing believe that the value of this item is much higher than other jewels?Just based on the story told by Hu Bahai?

Just stop joking, if Wu Yuanqing had this IQ, he would have been played to death by Wu Meiniang long ago!

Although he knew about the conspiracy between them, Guo Ye was not going to expose them.

He thought to himself, Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanqing, you don't want the 80 money ticket, if you insist on doing this little trick with me, then don't blame me for giving you a trick!Isn't it just diamonds?Hu Bahai has it, and so does Guo Ye!

It turned out that Chai Lingwen and Liang Ershao traveled across the ocean to trade in Persia, and brought back half a boatload of rare treasures.After returning, they specially selected some novelties and gave them to Guo Ye. There were dozens of diamonds in them.

In his previous life, Guo Ye hated diamonds so much that his teeth itch!

Diamonds last forever, one goes bankrupt!It is a wise saying.For an ordinary diamond ring, Guo Ye ate steamed buns and pickles for several months.

Therefore, he was very impressed with the dozens of diamonds sent by Chai Lingwen.

Immediately, he ordered Jing Jing'er to go back to the mansion to take five diamonds, and handed them to Wu Yuanqing as a betrothal gift.

Holding these five diamonds, Wu Yuanqing wanted to burst into tears!

How much are five diamonds worth?Let alone 1000 million guan, it's hard to say whether it can be worth [-] guan!

With such a small dowry, he exchanged the beauty that his brothers had coveted for a long time!

Nima, what is this called!

It's really a steal!

Seeing Wu Yuanqing's silence for a long time, Guo Ye coughed lightly, and said, "Brother uncle, if you accept the dowry, my marriage with Wu Meiniang will be considered as well. You can choose a good day for the two of us to get married." ah?"

"Get married? You think so beautifully!" Someone said angrily.

"It turned out to be Brother Yuan Shuang. What's wrong? Do you have different opinions on my marriage with Meiniang? Meiniang's ownership is determined by the amount of the dowry, but the rules set by your Wu family, do you want to go back on your word now?"

"Of course I don't want to go back on my word, but..." Wu Yuanshuang snorted coldly and said, "We still haven't finished talking!"

"Not finished?"

"That's right. Just now we said that in order to choose a husband for Mei Niang, we're going to give everyone a test. But we didn't say that there was only one question. Now you just won the first question. What's there to be proud of?"

"Then I wonder how many questions you will ask?"

Wu Yuanshuang stretched out three fingers, and said, "We will implement a best-of-three rounds system, and there are still two more questions to compare!"

Guo Ye sneered and said, "If Hu Bahai won the first round, I'm afraid there won't be two wins in three rounds, right?"

"You are judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! We just said a few words because we were too excited, and there is no other meaning. Besides..."

Wu Yuanshuang flicked his sleeves, and said proudly: "My sister is the daughter of the Duke of the state. Just because of the large dowry, we have to marry her away. How can there be such a good thing? Guo Dabao, don't you think we should be underestimated? Is it the government office?"

After hearing what he said, Guo Ye couldn't help but curse secretly!

He said in his heart, let you tell the truth and irony!Just now you have been arguing for a long time about the rationality of using the dowry to determine the outcome, why are you now saying that the amount of the dowry is not important!This is too shameless!

However, even though he thought so in his heart, he would not argue with Wu Yuanshuang.

Because that makes no sense.

The situation is stronger than others, according to the feudal etiquette, Wu Meiniang's marriage must be approved by their brothers!

And what he said just now, although there are strong words and unreasonable things, but if there is no reason at all, that is not always the case.If I argue with him forcefully, there will be no result.

He suppressed his anger and said, "Now you're done talking, right? Apart from winning two out of three rounds, are there any other conditions?"

"of course not!"

"Well, I wonder what the next two topics are?"

"The next two questions are all about this here..."

Wu Yuanshuang pointed to his head, and then said: "Everyone's character is screened by personally sending invitations. Everyone's sincerity is screened by the amount of dowry. Then, it depends on everyone's personality." Whether the brain is good or not, can it be matched with Mei Niang?"

"Guo has one more thing that I don't know, so I want to ask you a question or two!"

"Please speak!"

"Youdao is the first in literature, and the second in martial arts. Compared with the dowry, you can always choose the most powerful one. But if you ask other questions, if two people, three people, or even many people answer at the same time, then that's a big deal. how?"

"This is simple, the first one to answer wins!"

Guo Ye shook his head and said, "This statement is inappropriate!"

"What's wrong?"

"What if two people ask for an answer at the same time?"

"Uh... How about this, if you ask for an answer at the same time, the two of you should write the answer on paper within a quarter of an hour."

"What if the answers are correct at the same time?"

"Then it's all a victory, let's go on to the next match! It's really hard to tell which is the best, and we can even add another match."

Guo Ye nodded and said, "That's very good, then please come up with a question!"

Wu Yuanshuang nodded, and with a wave of his hand, four servants walked over carrying a log.This log has been trimmed extremely smooth, and its top and bottom are of average thickness.

Wu Yuan said happily: "Everyone has seen this log. Whoever can tell which side of this log is the root and which is the top, he will win the second question!"

"I know!" The two replied in unison.

Of these two people, one is Guo Ye and the other is Hu Bahai.

Wu Yuanshuang sighed slightly, ordered someone to fetch a pen and paper, and asked them to answer the question.

Hu Bahai brushed it up, and after a while, he finished the answer and handed it to Wu Yuanshuang.And what about Guo Ye?Still writing!

Hu Bahai said: "I feel that your method of judging victory is not very fair."

"How unfair?"

"Look, I answered this question first, and the one named Guo hasn't finished answering it yet. You have to stipulate that whoever submits the answer first wins, which is really fair and reasonable. Otherwise, it will be unfair to me." fair!"

Wu Yuanshuang nodded and said: "This statement is reasonable!"

"That's right, you big-headed ghost!" Guo Ye stood up angrily, stuffed the paper into Wu Yuanshuang's hand, and said, "The reason why I am slow in handing in the answer is because there are too many ways to solve this problem! I wrote Got two!"
