Chapter 122 He's just one-track-minded!
Xie Yunwen looked at the exam paper, unusually at a loss for words.
Staring at the question that Sheng Sheng was pointing to, Xie Yunwen paused for two seconds before saying, "Well... in a way, Fifth Brother's answer... uh, isn't wrong."
Sheng Sheng tilted her head slightly, blinking her big, innocent eyes, waiting for his answer.
Xie Yunwen glanced at Xie Yunqi and saw that he looked calm and composed, without the slightest embarrassment or shame. On the contrary, there was a spirit of defiance between his brows.
"Fourth Brother, read it out! Read it out and let your sister judge. My answers are all based on my own true feelings and insights. Why should Grand Tutor Liu give me an X?"
Xie Yunwen didn't want to embarrass him, but one of them was curious and clueless, and the other couldn't wait for him to read it aloud to Sheng Sheng, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and read the contents of the test paper.
"This question asked us to analyze the statement, 'Since the vegetables grown in Song are better than those in Yu, Yu can simply buy them from Song; there's no need for Yu to spend time and effort cultivating them themselves.' My fifth brother wrote... I think this is utterly foolish. This question asked us, 'How can we prevent the frequent earthworm disasters in Japan?' My fifth brother answered... I think the Japanese deserve it; we shouldn't pay them any attention! If we really want to pay attention, we should sail around Japan and ridicule them!"
Xie Yunwen read Xie Yunqi's answer with great difficulty, and it was clear that he was having a hard time reading it.
Whether she was amused by the answer or by Xie Yunqi's nonsensical antics, Xie Yunwen pursed her lips, trying her best not to laugh.
Hahahaha!
Sheng Sheng didn't care so much and burst into laughter without any restraint.
She had heard Xie Yunchuan mention Japan; it was a small country across the East China Sea from Yu, and it was known for its cruelty.
Since their great-great-grandfather's time, Japanese pirates have frequently crossed the ocean to harass the border people, and they love to burn, kill, and plunder, which is extremely excessive.
If states like Song were both enemies and friends to Yu, then Wa (Japan) was undoubtedly a staunch enemy.
At first glance, Xie Yunqi's answer seems to have no problem, and it even makes people want to agree with it.
Seeing Sheng Sheng laughing so hard, the little tyrant became unhappy and his face fell: "What are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
"Without Fifth Brother, you're absolutely right, hahahahaha... hiccup."
Liu Taifu, who clearly set the question, wanted to test what measures they would take to effectively prevent the frequent occurrence of dragons, but Xie Yunqi answered it as a question about "personal emotions".
I meant to ask them for their opinions on a statement, but they answered it as if it were a true or false question.
Sheng Sheng started hiccuping as she laughed, but she couldn't stop laughing. She could only laugh and hiccup at the same time, which sounded like she was laughing out loud like a goose.
Xie Yunqi snorted: "What do you know? You just envy my frankness! All that babbling and babbling you're spouting, I can answer it in one sentence."
Xie Yunwen sighed, unsure how to explain it to him.
You might say he answered wrong, but it's really hard to refute that.
But you might think he's right, but that's not actually the case.
It's like reading two pieces of nonsense that aren't really nonsense—tasteless but not worth throwing away, hard to evaluate.
Xiao Quanzi closed his eyes and muttered to himself, "So what if he's a little stupid? Anyway, Her Majesty doesn't have any demands on His Highness!"
Xie Yunwen frowned, thinking carefully for a long time about how to explain it to him.
After thinking for a moment, Xie Yunwen pointed to the green parrot by the window and asked, "Fifth brother, can you tell me if you see this parrot? Can you describe it vividly?"
This parrot is entirely emerald green with a striking blue beak, resembling a celestial bird that flew right out of Wang Wei's poem.
Sheng Sheng looked at it carefully and thought it was so easy to describe; even she could recite a few lines of poetry to describe the parrot.
Springtime brings rivers that are as green as blue, ponds sprout spring grass, and birds fly whiter than white birds in the emerald river…
At worst, she could say, "This isn't just any parrot; it's the parrot from Wang Wei's poem!"
In short, as long as you casually quote a few lines of poetry and songs, and embellish them with some pleasant words, you will definitely get a perfect score.
Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunwen both looked at Xie Yunqi expectantly, and even Xiao Quanzi secretly held his breath.
Xie Yunqi rested his chin between his thumb and forefinger and began to think seriously.
He nodded as he thought.
Sheng Sheng and Xie Yunwen exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves that they had it in the bag, and both of them became engrossed in thinking!
With everyone's anticipation, Xie Yunqi, who had been thinking hard, finally spoke up, shaking his head: "There's a very green bird by the window."
Xie Yunqi paused for a moment.
The group grew increasingly expectant.
"This bird is very green. How green? Very green, extremely green, extra green, incredibly green, super green! This green bird gives people a feeling of being very green, as if it were a very green bird."
Sheng Sheng:
Xie Yunwen: ?
Others: ?
Not only was Xiao Quanzi, who had been holding high expectations, completely confused, but everyone else in the hall who was engrossed in their work also found it inexplicable and unbelievable.
Zijuan was stunned. She wondered if she had misheard something. She secretly glanced at the other people's reactions and was relieved to find that they also looked puzzled.
Even the parrot by the window, which was quietly preening its feathers, suddenly started swearing: "Green, green, green! You're the green one! You're the greenest! If you're not cultured, don't pretend!"
After cursing in its unintelligible bird language, the little parrot angrily muttered in human language, "Idiot, idiot, idiot!"
Xie Yunqi was so angry that he jumped up and down: "You green bird, what did you say! Fourth Brother, how dare your bird insult people like that! I'm going to stew this bird and make green bird soup!"
Xie Yunwen found the bird, named Yezi, a little over a month ago. He has been taking care of it personally and has developed a deep affection for it. Not only would he not scold Yezi, but Xie Yunwen would even like to say a few words in agreement with Yezi.
Sheng Sheng's lips twitched, and after repeatedly savoring Xie Yunqi's nonsense, she clapped her hands with a forced smile: "Fifth Brother's description is quite accurate."
It really is green.
Just by listening to him describe it, you can imagine what color the bird is.
Hahaha.
Xie Yunqi proudly raised her head and hugged Shengsheng: "Hmph, only our little one can appreciate my artistic conception!"
He let out two dry laughs, utterly helpless.
Xie Yunwen originally intended to use this topic to point out Xie Yunqi's irrelevant answer, and after this incident, Xie Yunwen finally understood.
Xie Yunqi wasn't giving an irrelevant answer; he was simply too single-minded and didn't have the extra brainpower to think about anything deeper!
Xie Yunwen was too tired to talk anymore. Sheng Sheng had only wanted to change the subject to cheer her up. Well, even though she changed the subject and was feeling down, how could it not be considered a success?
