…… …… „civil and military battle?” Xu Wei strange said: „How civil and military battle?” “文斗武攻？”徐渭奇道:“怎么个文斗武攻？” „This civil and military battle, said simply, is Xiao Family with me, both sides choose a topic to ask respectively, or article or military. If the opposite party cannot be achieved or defeated, that then lost. If one civil, one military two make no distinction between victory and defeat, then asked Sir Xu to set a topic again, to decide victory and loss.” Tao Dongcheng said. “这文斗武攻,说起来简单,便是萧家与我,双方各选一题发问,或文或武。若对方不能做到或被击败,那便是输了。一文一武两场若是不分胜负,则请徐大人再出一题,以决输赢。”陶东成说道。 Lin Wanrong understood, isn't three games of two victories? This one civil, one military, owes they to think, although Eldest Young Lady Xiao is the person of doing business, but that scholarship is skilled in poetry Jinling first talented woman Luo Ning is also full of praise continually, this article , does not fear them. Military isn't , fights? On getting up to fight, whom has Laozi feared? 林晚荣明白了,不就是三局两胜么？这一文一武,也亏他们想得出来,萧大小姐虽是经商之人,可是那才学便连精通诗词的金陵第一才女洛凝也是赞不绝口,这文的,绝不怕了他们。武的么,不就是打架么？论起打架来,老子怕过谁？ „This but actually a little meaning.” Xu Wei is saying with a smile: „only Young Master Tao, you and Xiao Family compete with these, why is actually?” “这倒有点意思。”徐渭笑着道:“只是陶公子,你与萧家比试这些,却是为何呢？” Tao Dongcheng said: „If I lost, I then draw back the duty of this Jinling Chamber of Commerce's President, at brother by the meeting elects in addition capable. Moreover, my Tao Family the cloth wholesaler of subordinate operation, not takes a single cent again, gives to Xiao Family.” 陶东成道:“若我输了,我便退下这金陵商会会长之职,由会中兄弟另选贤能。另外,我陶家再将手下经营之布庄,分文不取,如数转让给萧家。” Eldest Young Lady hears this, immediately is startled, this Tao Family cloth wholesaler operation scale vertical is inferior to Xiao Family, actually could not miss many, Tao Dongcheng did this, actually must stake everything on a single throw of the dice. 大小姐闻言,顿时吃了一惊,这陶家的布庄经营规模纵是不如萧家,却也差不了多少了,陶东成这样做,却是要孤注一掷了。 That Tao Wanying couldn't think elder brother will as if have this at one fell swoop, hurried startled say/way: „elder brother, may not!” 那陶婉盈似乎也没想到哥哥会有此一举,急忙惊道:“哥哥,不可！” Tao Dongcheng eyes shoots coldly the ray saying: „I decide the matter, does not renege on a promise.” 陶东成眼中射过冷冷的光芒道:“我决定的事情,绝不反悔。” Xu Wei nods, eyes shows a mysterious happy expression: „If Xiao Family lost, what you did want them to make?” 徐渭点点头,眼中露出一丝神秘的笑意道:“若是萧家输了呢,你想要他们做些什么？” Tao Dongcheng said: „This Lin San today beats my two people, if they lost, I then want Xiao Family apologize to me and President Yu, moreover-” he looked at Xiao Yuruo one, eyes flashes through frantic: „I want Eldest Young Lady Xiao, marries to below.” 陶东成道:“这林三今日殴打我二人,若他们输了,我便要萧家向我和于会长赔礼道歉,另外——”他看了萧玉若一眼,眼中闪过一丝狂热:“我要萧大小姐,下嫁给在下。” A language leaves, full all startled, obtained Eldest Young Lady Xiao, was equal to that Xiao Family, was obtained Xiao Family, was equal to being under the perfume scented soap operation, Tao Dongcheng this, it may be said that sinister to the extreme. 一语既出,满座皆惊,得到了萧大小姐,便等于得到了萧家,得到了萧家,便等于就得到了香水香皂的经营,陶东成这一手,可谓阴险之极。 „Shameless!” Eldest Young Lady face reddened, cursed angrily. This Tao Dongcheng was the refined appearance, today was actually also ferocious like that. Pours might as well Lin San, continuously that „badly”. “无耻！”大小姐脸上红了一下,怒骂道。这陶东成原来也是那般斯文模样,今日却是凶相毕露了。倒还不如林三,一直都那么“坏”。 The words speaking of this, this Tao Dongcheng were thorough and Xiao Family tear to pieces the facial skin, fighting of today this trapped/sleepy beast, was not the fish dies is the net broken. 话说到此,这陶东成是彻底的与萧家撕破脸皮了,今日这困兽之斗,不是鱼死便是网破。 Lin Wanrong laughs saying: „couldn't think, solemn Eldest Young Master Tao, reduces to unexpectedly must adopt this method, thick of facial skin, compared with me much worse.” This boy thick facial skin was not first time, last time also put aphrodisiac, Lin Wanrong thorough despised him. 林晚荣哈哈一笑道:“没想到啊,堂堂的陶大公子,竟沦落到要采取此种手段,脸皮之厚,比我尤甚啊。”这小子厚脸皮也不是第一次了,上一次还放了cy呢,林晚荣彻底的鄙视他。 The Xu Wei complexion looks at Eldest Young Lady Xiao to say seriously: „Eldest Young Lady Xiao, this matter is related to you to be lifelong, you may probably consider clearly, cannot flaunts the temporary spirit.” 徐渭脸色郑重地望着萧大小姐道:“萧大小姐,此事事关你终身,你可要考虑清楚,莫要逞一时之意气。” Yes, Old Xu has settled a quarrel and make peace with the parties involved sentenced various two sides dozen of five ten stick, this matter uncovered on such, will Laozi stupidly to put together one with his blood again? Lin Wanrong heart is pondering over, said to Xiao Yuruo: „Eldest Young Lady, the matter of today, the Sir has sentenced, now and our Xiao Family has nothing to do. It is not worthwhile spells with his blood.” 是啊,老徐已经息事宁人地判了两边各打五十大板,这事就这么揭过去了,老子会傻到再和他血拼一场吗？林晚荣心中思忖着,对萧玉若道:“大小姐,今日之事,大人已经判过了,现在和我们萧家无关。犯不着和他血拼。” Tao Dongcheng sees Eldest Young Lady Xiao eyes to reveal the color of ponder long, cannot bear says with a smile: „Eldest Young Lady, my today at Sir Xu front fair competition, does not exist to engage in malpractice for personal gains, if Xiao Family does not dare to accept a challenge, that next Jinling Chamber of Commerce, then again does not have Xiao Family position.” 陶东成见萧大小姐眼中露出的思考之色,忍不住长笑道:“大小姐,我今天是在徐大人面前公平比试,不存在徇私舞弊,若是萧家不敢应战,那今后金陵商会,便再没有萧家位置。” Mother , this surnamed Tao also is really rampant, Lin Wanrong heart cursed angrily. Although Xu Wei is a Imperial Court high-ranking official, in only this association the matter he is actually not able to solve. If were separated from Jinling Chamber of Commerce, that Xiao Family is it can be said that difficult in Jinling, if not solve this Tao Dongcheng, this matter then had no way good. 妈的,这个姓陶的还真是嚣张,林晚荣心里怒骂。徐渭虽是朝廷一品大员,只是这协会之内的事情他却也无法解决。若是脱离了金陵商会,那萧家在金陵可以说是寸步难行,若不解决这个陶东成,这事便没法善了。 Eldest Young Lady naturally knows is formidable, she gripped tightly the small fist, closely is biting the lip, actually does not know that should should do. 大小姐自然知道其中的利害,她紧握了小拳头,紧紧咬着嘴唇,却不知道该如何是好。 Is own is lifelong happy, while is actually Xiao Family high and low several hundred means of livelihood, she had been compelled on the cliff, may draw back roadless. 一边是自己的终身幸福,一边却是萧家上下几百口的活路,她已经被逼到悬崖上,无路可退了。 This matter and Eldest Young Lady Xiao and with Xiao Family, are all closely linked, Lin Wanrong really first time had could not make an effort the feeling. Knew about Xiao Yuruo by him, he knows she will choose anything. 这事与萧大小姐、与萧家,皆是息息相关,林晚荣竟然第一次有了使不上力的感觉。以他对萧玉若的了解,他知道她会选择什么。 Xiao Yuruo sighed lightly, looked at him saying: „Lin San, my-” 萧玉若轻叹了口气,望着他道:“林三,我——” Lin Wanrong is saying with a smile: „Eldest Young Lady, you were needless saying that I know you chose anything, relax, this Talent was Tianxia's Second, was only worse than Sir Wenchang that a wee bit, capable in military and civil skills, anything did not fear .” 林晚荣笑着道:“大小姐,你不用说,我知道你选择什么,放心吧,本才子乃是天下第二,只比文长先生差那么一丁点,能文能武,什么都不怕的。” A Eldest Young Lady nod, the teardrops actually fell, a Lin Wanrong leaning head, said in her ear in a soft voice: „Feared not, even lost, at the worst before you marry this surnamed Tao , I ask some troops to carry off a girl to be one's wife, then climbs mountains to work as the highwayman, please make Stronghold Madame.” 大小姐一点头,泪珠儿却落了下来,林晚荣一偏头,在她耳边轻声道:“莫怕,即便是输了,大不了你嫁这姓陶的之前,我找些人马去抢亲,然后上山当响马,请你做压寨夫人。” Xiao Yuruo hears the complexion to blush, bah said: „You to so the time, did not have some proper words, what Stronghold Madame , then cannot withstand like that.” 萧玉若听得脸色羞红,呸道:“你这人到这般时候了,却还没些正经话,什么压寨夫人的,便是那般不堪么。” Her heart does not know that is what taste, only after his interrupts, is calmer. one civil, one military, article has oneself and Lin San is supporting, naturally did not fear that military then lost, has third to close Xu Wei to check, wants to come Sir Xu unable intentionally dangerous own. 她心里也不知道是个什么滋味,只是经他这一打岔,心情却已平静了许多。一文一武,文的有自己和林三撑着,自然不怕,那武的便是输了,却也还有第三关徐渭把关,想来徐大人不会故意危难自己的。 She such thinks, heart was then more open, is saying with a smile to Lin San: „This critical moment, you may cannot not be proper, if lost, I punish your one year of salary.” 她这样一想,心里便开朗了许多,对着林三一笑道:“这关键时刻,你可莫要不正经了,要是输了,我罚你一年的薪俸。” Lin Wanrong laughs saying: „If won, you then wash one year of clothes for me, this was fair.” 林晚荣哈哈一笑道:“要是赢了,你便替我洗一年的衣裳,这算是公平了吧。” Eldest Young Lady is blushing bashfully, is actually light Um'ed. 大小姐羞红着脸,却是轻嗯了一声。 Xiao Yuruo turns around to say to Xu Wei: „Sir Xu, little girl complies with the Young Master Tao competition to request.” 萧玉若转过身去对徐渭道:“徐大人,小女子答应陶公子的比试请求。” Xu Wei is startled saying: „Eldest Young Lady Xiao, you may probably consider clearly, this is related to you to be lifelong.” 徐渭吃了一惊道:“萧大小姐,你可要好好考虑清楚,这事关你终身啊。” Xiao Yuruo lightly smiled said: „Sir thanks cared, little girl is confident. Let alone, Lin San.” 萧玉若轻轻一笑道:“谢大人关心,小女子有信心。何况,还有林三呢。” Seeing Eldest Young Lady is so firm, Xu Wei sighed lightly, only hopes that Little Brother Lin knowledge was as always outstanding. 见大小姐如此坚决,徐渭轻叹了口气,只希望那个林小哥一如既往的学识出众吧。 In the hall the people are actually the matter of couldn't think today evolve this scene, this was more attractive than that anything trading Annual Congress , the stimulation were many, various people all clamored. That Liu Yue'e quickly holds on Xiao Yuruo hand saying: „little sister, elder sister supports you.” 厅中众人却是没想到今日之事演变成这个场面,这比那什么商事年会好看多了,也刺激多了,诸人皆是喧哗了起来。那个刘月娥急忙拉住萧玉若的手道:“妹子,姐姐支持你。” Tao Dongcheng eyes flashes through a callous ray, said to Xu Wei cups the fists: „Sir, since Eldest Young Lady complied, to be fair, this setting the topic order, the student suggested that was decided by drawing lots.” 陶东成眼中闪过一丝冷酷的光芒,对徐渭抱拳道:“大人,既是大小姐答应了,为公平起见,这出题顺序,学生建议由抽签决定。” „This is natural.” Xu Wei earnestly said. “这是自然。”徐渭正色道。 The two sides drawing lots results, were actually Eldest Young Lady Xiao pulled out „armor”, Tao Dongcheng pulled out „B”. 两边抽签的结果,却是萧大小姐抽了“甲”,陶东成抽了“乙”。 Eldest Young Lady selected first wrote the power, Tao Family first asks the power. First writes the power, the meaning is this civil and military two topics first elects by Xiao Family, remaining topics give Tao Family automatically. First asked the power, was Tao Family can first select the topic to ask difficultly on oneself. 大小姐挑了先题权,陶家则是先问权。先题权,意思就是这文武两题由萧家先选,剩下的一题则是自动给陶家。先问权,则是陶家可以先就自己挑着的题进行问难。 Eldest Young Lady light said to Lin San: „We want civil authority, is martial authority?” 大小姐轻轻对林三道:“我们是要文权,还是武权？” Lin Wanrong pondered said: „Wants martial authority, that civil authority has our two, forgives them unable to ask what positive result. martial authority we are not ripe, should set the topic by us.” 林晚荣沉思了一下道:“要武权,那文权有我们两个在,谅他们也问不出什么名堂来。武权我们不熟,应该由着我们出题。” Eldest Young Lady also indeed so idea, then first martial authority. Tao Dongcheng coldly smiled, said: „First asked that power in my hand, below is then turning my Tao Family inquiry.” 大小姐也正是如此想法,便先了武权。陶东成冷冷一笑,道:“先问权在我手里,下面便轮着我陶家提问了。” Xu Wei takes the intermediate, looked at Xiao Yuruo one, sees Eldest Young Lady to nod, Xu Wei said to Tao Dongcheng: „Young Master Tao, you asked.” 徐渭作为中间人,看了萧玉若一眼,见大小姐点头,徐渭才对陶东成道:“陶公子,你问吧。” Tao Dongcheng eyes has shot sharp light, said: „Presenting everyone/various is the person of doing business, eyesight that is our most common skill. My this issue, is tests this eyesight with experiencing .” 陶东成眼中射过一丝厉光,道:“在座诸位皆是经商之人,眼力那是咱们最常见的本事。本人这问题,便是考这眼力与见识的。” Eldest Young Lady one startled, she thinks Tao Dongcheng literary test must discuss the poetics word, actually couldn't think tests the eyesight unexpectedly. Tianxia thing how, by two people of strength, how also can see. This literary test, feared that was more unfortunate than fortunate. 大小姐一惊,她原本以为陶东成的文试是要谈诗论词,却没想到竟是考眼力。天下事物何其之多,以二人之力,又怎能事事见过。这文试,怕是凶多吉少了。 Lin Wanrong seemed like saw through the Eldest Young Lady idea, is saying with a smile: „Feared not, has me.” Eldest Young Lady smiles, this Lin San, will perform will extend the person to have. 林晚荣似乎是看穿了大小姐的想法,笑着道:“莫怕,有我呢。”大小姐嫣然一笑,这个林三,尽会宽人心怀。 Tao Dongcheng saw two people to hesitate the meaningful glance, actually took out a block from bosom complacently, opened that box slowly, inside unexpectedly was a small nail three points of size piece of small like a stone but not a stone thing, probably innumerable twinkle star small stone accumulation, clear insightful, under the sunlight refraction, is glittering the bright gloss, seven colors variegated, fascinating. 陶东成见了二人踌躇眼色,却是得意洋洋地自怀里取出一个小盒,缓缓打开那盒子,里面竟是小指甲三分大小的一片小小的似石非石的东西,像是无数星星点点的小石头聚集而成,晶莹通透,在阳光折射下,闪烁着晶亮的光泽,七彩斑斓,引人入胜。 In the people, do not say Eldest Young Lady, then even that experienced Xu Wei is also astonished inexplicable, what thing this is, is the stone? So beautiful radiant, has actually never seen. 众人之中,莫说大小姐,便连那见多识广的徐渭也是惊异莫名,这是什么东西,是石头么？如此美丽璀璨,却从未见过。 Tao Dongcheng people look sees in the eyes, face flashes through intermittently self-satisfied, said: „Eldest Young Lady Xiao, excuse me/please may I ask you know that what thing this is? Do you know its source? If you responded, this was I loses.” 陶东成将众人的神色看在眼里,脸上闪过阵阵得意,道:“萧大小姐,请问你知道这是什么东西吗？你知道它的出处吗？你若是答对了,这一阵便是我输了。” Xiao Yuruo silver teeth bites tightly, this thing then cannot recognize Tianxia's First scholarship Xu Wei, what she actually recognizes. This can literary test then lose? Her heart is sad, looks toward that Lin San, actually sees him to think deeply. 萧玉若银牙紧咬,这东西便连天下第一才学徐渭也认不出来,她却怎生认得。这文试便要输了么？她心中难过,往那林三看去,却见他在深思。 Eldest Young Lady thinks that Lin San does not recognize, heart sighed however sighs, said: „This stone our-” 大小姐以为林三也认不出,心中喟然一叹,道:“这石头我们——” „This stone we knew that-” Lin Wanrong was actually makes noise to break her words, said with a smile. “这石头我们认识——”林晚荣却是出声打断了她的话,笑着说道。 „Lin San, your-” Eldest Young Lady also startled also was happy, listened to Lin San words, she had to plant dead and be reborn instantaneously the happy feeling. “林三,你——”大小姐又惊又喜,听了林三的话,她瞬间有种死而复生的幸福感觉。 „What do you recognize this are?” The Tao Dongcheng whole face cannot believe look, disdain said. “你认得这是何物？”陶东成满脸不可置信的神色,不屑地说道。 Xu Wei has profound to know to this Lin San vast story, he is the learned person, has the inborn hobby to this strange matter, quickly said to Lin Wanrong: „Little Brother Lin, you said to look quickly, what matter is this?” 徐渭却是对这林三的广博见闻有着深刻的认识,他本人便是博学之人,对这古怪的物事有着天生的爱好,急忙对林晚荣道:“林小哥,你快说说看,这是什么物事？” Lin Wanrong smiles, looks at Tao Dongcheng saying: „If I have not guessed wrong, this thing my Great Hua does not produce, feared that is the imported product.” 林晚荣嘿嘿一笑,望着陶东成道:“若我没猜错,这东西非我大华所产,怕是舶来品吧。”
