Xiao Fan said matter-of-factly,"It's the growth rings. You can tell from the growth rings which year the tree is. It's so simple. Don't you know?"”
Lu Binzhi said disdainfully," What growth rings? I've never heard of them. May I ask if anyone here has heard of them?"”
Everyone shook their heads in confusion."Never heard of it."
Lu Yun rolled her eyes and cheered for her eldest brother.
"What nonsense! How could one judge the age of a tree? Isn't this the act of a god?"
Xiao Fan smiled and pointed to the side of the zither."See these circles? This was the so-called growth ring. One ring was a year.”
Xiao Fan finished speaking.
Someone went over and took a curious look. He counted carefully and said in surprise,"It really is ten laps."
Then, he asked in surprise,"Is it really ten years?"”
"Nonsense, it's just a coincidence!"”
Xiao Fan nodded and said,"I knew you would say that.”
He turned around and looked at Chang Le." Let me ask you, Princess. Are the trees around Mount Li planted by your palace?"”
Changle nodded and immediately summoned the imperial guards. He pointed at the trees around Mount Li and asked how many years it had been.
The Imperial Army in this area was in charge of planting trees, so they naturally knew how many years it would take to plant trees.
"Princess, this is a three-year-old tree.”
"Cut it open." Changle nodded.
The axe made a piercing sound.
Everyone held their breaths and focused.
"It's cut open!"
Instantly, everyone gathered.
"One."
"Two."
"Three."
" It's really three rounds. It's really three years."
Lu Binzhi swallowed his saliva, his face was a bit ugly. He forced himself to be spirited and said,"It was just a coincidence."
Lu Yun's heart skipped a beat.
He had an ominous premonition.
Chang Le looked at Xiao Fan with a complicated gaze.
Was it really that amazing?
Trees have ages too?
This was truly inconceivable!
"Cut open this five-year one too!" she continued in a crisp voice.”
The imperial guards accepted the order.
He picked up his axe and continued to chop.
"It's open!"
Someone said.
For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on him.
The ivy tree was cut down by the Imperial Army.
Someone was counting impatiently.
"Five laps, five years! Brother, you're amazing!"
At the same time, a few Imperial Army soldiers said,"This side has also been cut open."
"And this side."
"Same here."
About ten trees were cut down.
"There are six circles here. It has indeed been planted for six years.”
"Seven laps here, seven years…"
"Same here…"
The voices rose and fell.
Lu Binzhi could not stand steadily. He listened to the conversation with empty eyes.
His mouth was trembling, but he could not say anything.
Lu Yun's face became even more awkward as she stood behind Lu Binzhi in a daze.
"How could this be? How could this be?”
Right now, no one had the time to care about Bin Lu and his sister.
A group of people looked at Xiao Fan curiously.
"Does this tree really have an age?"
Xiao Fan nodded and pointed at the real green silk that he had identified just now. He said indifferently,"Therefore, this zither is a sixty-year-old wood.”
"That's why I knew it was authentic with just one look.”
After saying that, Xiao Fan imitated Lu Binzhi and played the "Gong" and "Zheng" tunes.
However, the musical scale was even duller than Lu Binzhi's.
Xiao Fan did not wait for everyone to speak and said indifferently,"The green silk has been passed down for thousands of years, and the trees are in the midst of the tide. It's impossible for them to produce pure ancient sounds.”
He smiled at Lu Binzhi and asked,""Do you…understand?"
Lu Binzhi's face was as pale as a sheet, and he gritted his teeth.
He only felt that he was on the verge of collapsing. He felt that his vision was blurry and dark.
Not far away.
Cheng Yang clicked his tongue in wonder. Trees still have age!"
"I've learned a lot, I've really learned a lot!”
"Royal Sister, this Xiao Fan has some ability!”
"He can tell the truth from the fake with just a glance. He's really godly!”
"Haha, look at Fan Yang and Lu Binzhi. He's about to vomit blood.”
"How tragic! Just now, he was boasting loudly, but it turned out that he himself did not understand.”
Lu Binzhi's face twitched. He glared at Xiao Fan fiercely and turned around to leave without saying a word.
Lu Yun saw her brother leave and was too ashamed to stay any longer. She quickly followed Lu Binzhi and ran away.
……
"Brother, little cousin is so powerful."
In a corner, Xiao Kai had an envious expression.
"When can I be as powerful as little cousin?”
Xiao Rui turned around and looked at Xiao Kai, saying with certainty,""You have to work hard!"
"Big brother, you mean that as long as I work hard, I'll be able to shine like little cousin one day?" Xiao Kai's expression shook.”
"What I mean is that you'll only realize after you work hard that the gap between you and Little Cousin might be very difficult to measure."”
Xiao Kai was speechless.
These words hurt!
However, what he said made sense.
Xiao Kai looked at Xiao Fan in the crowd, and his eyes were red with envy.
Xiao Fan held the Green Silk Guqin.
He walked in front of Li Xinlan.
"Do you like it?"
Li Xinlan's heart was racing.
"Cheng Yang might like it more." she said shyly.
Xiao Fan nodded and walked in front of Princess Chengyang.
"This…Do you like it?"
Princess Cheng Yang nodded frantically.
"How much do you think it's worth?"
Damn it!
Princess Cheng Yang almost fell to her death.
Xiao Fan shook his head.”
With that, he took the Green Plum Guqin and left.
……
Xiao Fan returned home.
Li Shimin smiled and looked at Xiao Fan. Which princess did he fancy? Changle? Chengyang? Gao Yang?"
Xiao Fan rolled his eyes at Li Shimin,"Can you stop asking these nonsense?" If I like you, can I kill my way to the palace to snatch the bride?”
"Just say it, don't think about anything." Li Shiming smiled.”
Xiao Fan was speechless.
He couldn't be bothered with Li Shimin." Men, go to the treasury and take 1,000 strings of Guan and send them to Xiao Manor."”
What?
Li Shimin was stunned." Which Xiao Mansion? A thousand strings? For what?"
"Buying a mountain!"
"I bought a mountain," Xiao Fan said.
Li Shi Min felt a little suffocated. A thousand strings for a mountain?
"What mountain?"
"Mount Jingdong."
Whoosh!
Li Shi Min was stunned.
Wasn't this just to shut Xiao Yu's mouth and randomly find him a barren land?
The rain and thunder are all thanks to the king's kindness.
Li Shimin knew that Jingdong Mountain was a mountain of salt, which was a symbolic gift to Xiao Yu.
However, he never expected that this prodigal would spend such a huge sum of money to buy a barren mountain.
"Are you crazy?"
Li Shi Min felt suffocated.
