    After two games, Xiao Feng and Master Sima were tied, and the third game became the decisive game. What problems will Xiahou face?

    "Haha, the two gentlemen met their opponents in chess and met their talents. What a great fight. It's a pity that I don't have two daughters. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great pleasure in life to recruit two good sons-in-law at once?

    Now with one win and one loss, the two sides are tied. This third question will come from my general. Please wait a moment!  "

    Xia Houshang stood up and left the lobby, and returned a moment later. There was a black lacquer brocade box in his hand. When he opened it, there was an ancient seal inside!

    The ancient seal is square in shape, with a side of about three inches long, and a seal platform about one inch high. There is a turtle-shaped seal button attached to the platform (tortoise was a symbol of good luck and longevity in ancient times, and often appeared on valuable objects. Friends could give each other to each other. There is no  Insulting), there are several ancient inscriptions on the front, but they are difficult to identify. They seem to be bronze inscriptions from the Western Zhou Dynasty!

    The ancient seal has a unique shape, fine carvings, and a material that looks like it was made of gold. There is also a thick patina on the outside. It looks like something that has been passed down for a long time. What did Xia Houshang mean by taking it out?

    "In the past, after King Wu of Zhou conquered Shang, he generously granted rewards to the clan and meritorious ministers, and enfeoffed a total of 800 vassal states. Among them, Donglou Gong, a descendant of Dayu, was granted the title of Marquis, and the country was founded in Qidi!

    In the early Warring States period, the State of Qi was destroyed by the State of Chu. Si Tuo, the younger brother of Duke Jian of Qi, fled to the State of Lu. Because he was the queen of Yu the Great, the Lord of Lu quarried the land and granted him the title of Marquis in order to offer sacrifices to Xia Yu.  'Xiahou', later generations took this as their surname. This is the origin of my Xiahou family name!

    And this ancient gold seal is the Seal of Qihou given to my ancestors of the Xiahou family by King Wu of Zhou. It has been more than 1,200 years ago. It has been passed down from generation to generation by the descendants of the Xiahou family, and now it has been passed down to the hands of this general!

    "While the ancestors of the past generations preserved this seal, they couldn't help but have a little question: Is this seal of Qihou made of pure gold, or is it mixed with other things?

    I wanted to cut off a corner and have a look, but after all, this ancient seal is an ancestral item. It would be a shame to destroy the Xiahou family's ancestors. Therefore, thousands of years have passed, and this little question has never been answered!

    The third question is, please check the composition of this seal without damaging the gold seal. Whoever of the two young masters can check it out will be the winner and the future son-in-law of this general, haha!  "

    Xiahou Shang held the gold seal in his hand and narrated its origins. When the Qi Kingdom was destroyed in the war, the descendants ran away with the gold seal. They must have thought about one day rebuilding the Qi Kingdom and restoring the glory of their ancestors!

    Unexpectedly, more than a thousand years have passed. Not only has the Qi Kingdom failed to be rebuilt, but the suzerain state, the Great Zhou Dynasty, has also been destroyed. The once priceless Seal of Qihou has become an antique and has become the third test question!

    "It's difficult, it's too difficult. You can't destroy the ancient gold seal, but you also have to detect its ingredients. How can this be done by human power?"

    "The general deliberately created this problem. Is it because he doesn't want to marry his daughter?"

    "The Xiao family is like a powerful dragon, and Sima is like a fierce tiger. Our general is in a dilemma, so we have to do one or two to avoid offending!"

    ¡­¡­

    The generals and retainers whispered that this question was too difficult. No one had been able to solve it for thousands of years. How could the two children give the answer?

    In fact, as early as the Xia Dynasty, the Chinese nation had mastered the smelting technology. It became mature during the Yin and Shang Dynasties, and a large number of gold jewelry appeared. There are also many ways to test the purity of gold:

    First, look at the color. Gold is known as "seven greens, eight yellows, nine purples, and ten reds". Gold containing 70% of the gold is yellow with green, 80% of the gold is yellow, 90% of the gold is yellow with purple, and 10% of the gold is yellow.  Into red!

    The second is to test the hardness. The higher the purity of gold, the softer its texture. You can leave traces with your teeth. Some experienced gold and silver craftsmen can know the purity of gold through bite marks.

    The third is to burn it with fire. It is said that real gold is not afraid of fire. The higher the purity of gold, the higher its melting point. As long as it is calcined with strong fire, the composition can also be known!

    The problem is that after more than 1,200 years, a thick layer of patina has formed on the outside of this ancient gold seal, and the original color can no longer be seen, so its composition cannot be visually determined!

    The gold seal is an ancestral property of the Xiahou family and cannot be damaged in the slightest. Therefore, biting it with teeth or burning it with fire will not work. So what method can be used to test its ingredients? Isn¡¯t this difficult to force?

    The disciples guessed right. Xia Houshang deliberately raised this problem to mess up today's marriage proposal. The reason is very simple:

    The general trend of the world is not yet clear, and it is difficult to judge whose family will be the winner in the end. Therefore, marrying with the Xiao family or marrying with the Sima family will have a negative impact on the Xiahou family.What happened left a deep shadow in his heart, which lingered throughout his life and would never go away!

    Next, a banquet was held in General Anbei's mansion to celebrate the engagement of his daughter Xia Houhui to the sixth son of the Xiao family. Naturally, there was laughter, laughter, and drinking

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "My child is incompetent and has disgraced the Sima family. Please punish me, father!"

    "Haha, victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. In the past, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was defeated by Xiang Yu many times. He fled in embarrassment and almost died, but he was never discouraged. He finally succeeded in the next battle and established the Han family for more than 400 years!

    "My son suffered a small setback today. We should follow the example of the ancients. The more frustrated we are, the braver we will become and work hard to become stronger. Sooner or later, we will be humiliated. Although Xiao is laughing happily now, our Sima family will definitely have the last laugh!"  "

    "Promise, I understand, I will definitely work hard and avenge my shame!"

    On the carriage home, Sima Yi comforted his son with warm words, fearing that he would lose his enterprising spirit due to temporary setbacks. That would be the biggest failure!

    "In this life of a man, failure, missteps, mistakes, and broken love are nothing. As long as you don't lose confidence and add a little bit of luck, you will reach the end of victory sooner or later!"

    What Sima Yi is really worried about is another matter. He came to propose marriage to the Xiahou family, and the Xiao family also sent someone to propose marriage. Is this just a coincidence, or did they deliberately cut off the rumors?

    If it¡¯s the former, it¡¯s too much of a coincidence. If it¡¯s the latter, it¡¯s too scary. It means there is a spy within the Sima family who revealed the decision of the family meeting!

    People named Sima will never betray the family, and the inner house is full of loyal and reliable generals and servants who have been employed for more than 20 years. Isn't it incredible that the news is still leaked?

    Could it be that Xiao Yi had placed an undercover agent into the Sima family as early as twenty years ago. At that time, he had just started working as an official, and he was still a harmless boy. Xiao Yi had predicted that in the future - it was too scary.  It's absolutely terrible!

    What is this extremely scary guy doing now?  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
