Carefree Prince In Tang Dynasty
Chapter 8 The Talent Debate
"The reason why gold is more valuable than silver is because it is rarer than silver." Li Xin said slowly, "As long as there is no mental retardation for such things as talent, everyone can say that they are talented if they study hard for two years. But beauty is different, it’s decided from the moment you’re born, and there’s very little you can do about it later. Obviously, it’s much rarer than talent, isn’t it?”
It was the first time Qin Huaiyu heard of such a theory, and he was stunned immediately, scratching his head and feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. Chen Zijin gritted his silver teeth and said, "It's all your fallacy. Talent, is it something that just anyone can have if they say it? Just like His Royal Highness Chu, even if you study a few more years of sage books , and may not be able to read the slightest bit of talent!"
Li Xin sneered, and said: "Then I want to ask you, what exactly is your so-called talent? Is there any criterion for judging it? You can't say that whoever has it has it, and you say that whoever doesn't have it doesn't have it, right? Why do you say that I have no talent? If I remember correctly, we should have just met today, don't you know me like this? "
"Heh, the reputation of the King of Chu as ignorant is known to almost everyone in Chang'an City. Even if you don't know the King of Chu, you can still hear about it." Chen Zijin said contemptuously.
Qin Huaiyu saw that the atmosphere between the two people in front of him seemed to be getting more noisy and tense, and he wanted to smooth things over, but he didn't know where to start, so he could only silently regret in his heart: If I had known this before, why did I call Chen Zijin so loud? How about coming here? This is great.
Li Xin said calmly: "So, you admit that you are just a copycat? From this point of view, the third sister of the Chen family, who you regard as a model of talent and learning, may be nothing more than mediocre."
Chen Zijin was at a loss for words for a moment, his face flushed red with anger, and pointed at Li Dao Dao with his white finger: "What right do you have to say that?"
After all, Li Xin has just traveled here, and he is not used to using power to overwhelm others. Otherwise, even if the fair-skinned boy in front of him is the son of Chen Yin, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, he wouldn't be able to speak to Li Xin so disrespectfully.
However, although Li Xin does not know how to overwhelm others with force, it does not mean that he has no other way to deal with the stunned young man in front of him.
"I'll know if I'm qualified or not?" Li Xin gave Chen Zijin a provocative look.
Chen Zijin referred to Li Xin as a "dude" and "scumbag" in a nonsensical manner. How could Li Xin not be angry at all? Although these titles were all left by the original owner of this body, it is now scolding the modern Li Xin! He still doesn't believe it. As a time traveler, he has so many insights far beyond the times, and he still can't convince a small Tang Dynasty native?
Chen Zijin laughed when he heard Li Xin's challenge.
Qin Huaiyu hurriedly said: "You two, don't hurt your friendship. Brother Chen and I met at a poetry meeting. I was so impressed by his poetic talent, that's why I introduced him as a confidant." Except for Qin Huaiyu, a nerd, although he himself is not very good at composing poems, but when encountering elegant events such as poetry fairs, he often goes up to join in the fun, no wonder he knows Chen Zijin.
Li Xin heard the meaning of Qin Huaiyu's words. It was nothing more than that Chen Zijin still had two talents in poetry. Qin Huaiyu felt that with Li Xin's level of three-legged cat, he would definitely not be able to win. It is better not to compete, lest he lose in time. I can't get down even more.
It has to be said that Qin Huaiyu is indeed a good friend and knows Li Xin well. At least, with the education level of the original Prince Li Xin, he probably couldn't win against the confident Chen Zijin in front of him.
However, the person in this body at this moment is Li Xin from the 21st century after all. He glanced at Qin Huaiyu confidently, signaling him to rest assured with his eyes. Seeing this, Qin Huaiyu could only smile wryly and shook his head. He really didn't know where Li Xin's inexplicable confidence came from.
Chen Zijin said with a smile: "If you want to compare, you can compare. Tell me, you can compare any way you want. You can choose poems and songs. If you lose, you have to admit that you are an idiot in front of so many people." !"
"Then what should you do if you lose?" Li Xin also looked at Chen Zijin with a smile and said.
Chen Zijin wanted to sneer, saying how could he possibly lose, but after thinking about it, it seemed a bit stupid to speak like this, so he said, "What do you think?"
"If you lose, I don't want you to do anything, as long as you will be my servant for a month, and you will be there whenever you are called, and I will tell you what you must do." Li Xin said with a smile, "Why? Do you dare?"
The bet was not small, and Chen Zijin hesitated for a moment. However, driven by strong self-confidence, he did not refuse in the end.
"Tell me, how do you compare?" Chen Zijin asked.
"Poems and songs are too childish. Compared with this, I am afraid that others will say that I bully you." Li Xin said seriously. To be honest, although he is an engineering student, he has memorized a lot of ancient poems and essays, and any one of them is handed down from generation to generation, so why not scare these guys to pee their pants?
At least in Li Xin's opinion, what he said was quite honest, without any exaggeration. However, in the eyes of Qin Huaiyu and Chen Zijin, Li Xin was bragging through and through.
"Then what do you want to compare?" Chen Zijin said disdainfully, "I won't let you compete with you in wrestling, cricket fighting, etc. Then there's no need to compare, I'm willing to bow down." He was using words to run on Li Xin, Lest Li Xin really say some playful tricks that he doesn't know.
Li Xin waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, if you say Wendou, it must be Wendou. The rules are very simple. I ask you a question, and you ask me a question. The one who answers the most wins."
"Okay." Chen Zijin readily agreed after hearing the words.
Li Xin smiled and said, "Then you should ask first."
Chen Zijin didn't refuse, and said, "Then I'll come up with an anagram. The answer to the riddle is to keep away from fireworks, so don't worry, type a word."
Although Qin Huaiyu likes to read, his brain is not very bright. After hearing Chen Zijin's riddle, he frowned and thought hard, as if he had no clue.
However, Li Xin smiled indifferently, and Zhi Zhu replied with his hands on the ground: "Remove the word 'smoke' next to the word fire, and put a word 'heart' under it. The answer should be 'en' from 'enyi'." This level of anagrams, Li Xin threw up when he was playing in elementary school, how could it be difficult for him?
Qin Huaiyu suddenly realized that he gestured a few times in the void with his hand, and nodded quickly.
Chen Zijin was a little surprised, but soon calmed down. She knew that the riddle she had posed was not difficult, but it was just a casual test of Li Xin's level. Now it seemed that Li Xin might have read some books and knew a few big characters.
"Then it's your turn, come up with a question." Chen Zijin said casually. He didn't feel at all that he would not be able to answer Li Xin's question, although the sly smile on Li Xin's face made him faintly aware that something was wrong.
