Finest Servant

Xu Changjin nodded slightly and said, "Thank you, Lord. That being the case, Changjin will demonstrate first." Right now, the two sides are in a competitive relationship. In order to help Gao Li achieve her wish, Princess Xu will naturally not be polite to Lord Lin.

She took a thick red candle, cut off three-quarters of it, and then on the remaining section, along the direction parallel to the twister, pierced a fine hole, threading the silk through it, and then using the candle Seal it, and then cut the silk thread with the candle completely.

"This little sister, can you give me the nine-curved jade beads?" Xu Gongmaid smiled at Cuiyun and said kindly.

The little palace maid handed her the jade bead. Xu Changjin made the hole of the nine-curved jade bead perpendicular to the ground, and put the silk thread facing the entrance of the nine-curved jade bead, and slowly penetrated it. The inside of the jade beads twists and turns, and the first half of the silk thread is wrapped in candles, which is very hard to pass through. Palace Maiden Xu carefully lit the red candle and baked it against the curved hole. The wax thread softened by heat and slowly entered along the curved hole.

The idea is to seal the silk thread with a candle, the candle softens when heated, and the tears of the candle flow down, driving the thread forward. However, it needs to be cleverly coordinated. If it is one point late, it may lead to the situation that the candle will seal the curved hole. Xu Changjin is ingenious, her eyes are wide open, she carefully wears the silk thread, and she does not dare to slack off in the slightest. On the tip of her crystal-like jade nose, there is a layer of light sweat, and she looks very beautiful.

What an ingenious and stupid way, Lin Wanrong snickered when he saw it. This way can be done by a woman with patience and perseverance like Xu Changjin. However, this palace maid Xu just reflects the national character of the Goryeo people. This point is indeed worth learning from Dahua.

The nine-curved jade beads are rugged and tortuous, Xu Changjin spent a long time and returned back and forth several times. Only then did the silk thread pass the candle through the small hole, but the inside of the jade bead was sealed by the candle, and although the silk thread had passed through, it could not be pulled. For this reason, no one has come up with this method. Everyone on the field admired Xu Changjin's skill and perseverance, and immediately applauded her to celebrate her passing.

Palace Maiden Xu smiled shyly and bowed to the little palace maid Cuiyun: "I'm sorry. Although I passed through it, the silk thread can't be pulled, causing you trouble."

Cuiyun hurriedly said: "This sister. Since the silk thread has been passed through, then you will naturally pass the test."

Princess Xu smiled slightly and said to Lin Wanrong: "Sir, it's time for you."

The little palace maid of Cuiyun had already lit a candle and baked the blockage in the curved hole. After the jade beads are cooled, water is poured through the small holes, and the water droplets drip. After proving that there was no blockage inside, the jade beads were handed 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 somewhat unique. Don't be afraid of the two girls." He opened the bamboo tube, and a small ant crawled out of it. Cuiyun was frightened. Ah, a cry of exclamation,

Xu Changjin's beautiful eyes flashed, and he looked at him suspiciously.

Lin Wanrong took the silk thread and carefully tied it to the ant's leg. He fixed the nine-hole jade bead on the table, and smeared some honey on the other end. Xu Changjin snorted, and a sudden look appeared on his face.

Guessing that the smell of honey was almost dissipated, Lin Wanrong placed the little ant in the jade hole. The ants have a keen sense of smell, and when they smell the honey, they go away, and they pierce the jade hole in three or two times.

Everyone stared at each other and blinked, is that okay? If Xu Changjin's method is accidental and unreproducible, then Lin San's method is suitable for three-year-old children. It's too fucking simple. How did this kid come up with it?

"Hahaha-" The emperor smiled heartily: "Brother Cheng, you really have a good eye. Xu Aiqing, this Lin San, Di is indeed a talent."

"Your Majesty, I'll tell you the truth. I've been in contact with Lin San for a long time, and Wei Chen always has a feeling that in this world, there seems to be nothing that can stum him." Xu Wei said with a smile.

"Really?" The emperor smiled deeply.

"Sir, how did you think of this?" Xu Changjin looked at Lin Wanrong and asked curiously.

Lord Lin gave a deep smile: "If you don't file a complaint in front of the emperor next time, I'll tell you." Xu Changjin blushed and was embarrassed to speak.

"The first question was answered by Young Master Lin and Prince Goryeo," the little palace maid Cuiyun announced.

"Lu Dongzan, what do you think? They have already answered a question." Ashle said anxiously to the think tank beside him with a worried look on his face.

"Don't worry, Ashle, there will always be opportunities, and there are still three questions." Lu Dongzan replied confidently.

"Second question." Cuiyun tore open another lacquer envelope, and saw hundreds of soldiers suddenly walking in the distance, three groups of three carrying a log, as many as a hundred, all of average thickness .

"For this question, there are a hundred logs of average thickness at the scene. Please separate the roots and tips of each log." Cuiyun said softly.

As soon as the voice fell, the scene fell silent. These logs are all the same thickness, how can the roots and shoots be separated?

Xu Changjin was still thinking deeply, but he heard two voices at the same time: "I can separate."

A voice came from a distance, and the Chinese was blunt. It was from Lu Dongzan, the think tank next to the Turkic envoy Ashle. The other voice came from next to Princess Xu, the one who just played with ants, Lin Sanlin.

Xu Changjin said in disbelief: "Sir, do you really know?"

Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "Maybe, I'll know if I try it."

Lu Dongzan also came to the stage, saw Lin Wanrong clasped his fists and said: "My fellow Lu Dongzan, is the seat of the Turkic Pija Khan, who has seen Lord Lin."

Lin Wanrong laughed and said: "It is a guest from afar. Since Brother Lu has a way to distinguish which side is the root and which side is the tip, please come first."

Lu Dongzan smiled and nodded and said, "It's not difficult to separate the roots and tops, but it may involve some destructive activities. As people age, trees have growth rings. The closer to the root of the tree, the deeper the growth rings. Obviously, I only need my Turkic warriors to saw the head and tail of this hundred logs, and distinguish the color of the annual rings, so that the head and the tail, the root and the tip can be distinguished."

No matter the age of the tree rings, I still heard it once, and everyone was confused. Only Lin Wanrong nodded lightly, the Turks can stand for many years without falling, there are indeed talents, if nothing else, this Lu Dongzan can be regarded as one. Trees have growth rings, which is a truth that is often mentioned in later generations, but it is more and more unusual to say it from a Turkic population in this generation.

"Xu Aiqing, is what Lu Dongzan said right?" The emperor asked with a deep frown.

Xu Wei nodded and said: "Your Majesty, the little girl Zhiqing once studied this. Trees have growth rings, and the ground is true. The closer to the root of the tree, the more obvious the growth rings. This Lu Dongzan is not an ordinary person, he is a He is the first think tank in the tent of the Turkic Pija Khan, and is known as the national teacher, this time, I am afraid that he will win."

"Where's Lin San, is it possible for Lin San to win?" The emperor said suddenly, with a hint of hope flashing in his eyes.

"This, the old minister does not dare to make a rash decision. If you want to beat Lu Dongzan, unless Lin San comes up with a better way." Xu Wei said.

While speaking, Lu Dongzan had ordered his Turkic scissors to cut a big tree from the head and the tail, and sure enough, a deep annual ring was exposed at one end. Xu Changjin nodded and said softly, "The world is so big, there are many wonders, and Changjin has learned new knowledge today."

Seeing that Lu Dongzan was going to order someone to saw other logs again, Lin Wanrong hurriedly stopped him with a smile and said: "Brother Lu, as you said, your method is extremely destructive. There is also a method to verify the top and bottom of the tree. When the younger brother is finished, he will ask Brother Lu to choose ten of them and saw it. Two-phase verification, firstly, you can check whether the younger brother's method is wrong, and secondly, it also saves resources. Afforestation is not easy, we must take care of trees and forests.”

Lu Dongzan nodded and said: "This method is very good, how do you verify it?"

Lin Wanrong walked out slowly, clasped his fists at the hundreds of soldiers who came to resist the wood, and said, "Brothers, please help, and 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, Emperor Hexi, this time, we won again."

After those logs entered the water, they jumped a few times in the water, and then gradually became quiet. 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, according to my younger brother, the same log, the top of the tree that floats on the water surface, and the root of the tree that sinks to the surface. What do you think?"

Lu Dongzan gave a thumbs up and said, "Lord Lin, you are indeed knowledgeable and talented, and you can come up with such a simple method. Lu Dongzan admires it."

Ashle hurried over and said, "Lu Dongzan, what the hell is going on? Why are the tops of the trees floating on the water, and the roots of the trees that sink?"

Lu Dongzan said with a smile: "The big tree faces the sun, and the water comes from the roots, so the roots are thick and the tops are slightly lighter. The surface looks the same in thickness, but the inside is different. We choose ten trees and check the growth rings. Know."

A soldier has already stepped forward to select ten logs and sawed them open. As expected, as Lin Wanrong said, the heavier ones are the roots, and the lighter ones are the tips. There is no doubt that the method chosen by Lin Wanrong is simpler and more practical. Lin San and the Turks can pass this time, but it is an indisputable fact that Lin San suppressed the Turks, and even Lu Dongzan could not deny it.

"Sir, where did you get all this knowledge from? Can I learn from you?" Xu Changjin couldn't help but ask in admiration.

"Self-study, basically self-study." Lin Wanrong hit haha: "Xu Gongmaid, you want to apprentice to me? Oh, this is not good, I have always been difficult to control myself in the face of beautiful women, if something happens to me and you. What, then how can it be worthy of the long-standing friendship between our two countries, let's not."

Palace Maiden Xu's jade-like cheeks flew with two beautiful rosy clouds, and she lowered her head, not daring to speak for a long time.
