What? There are only six places? Hearing this news, the talents in the next room sighed. There are at least ten people here, which means that half of them will not be able to represent Dingyuan County in the competition? It seems that this competition is also
A bit too cruel, right?
The talented people in the cubicle began to discuss quietly, and some even began to look around secretly to see what their chances of winning were.
Chen Changxue glanced at the people in the cubicle and saw the talented people talking about each other. He smiled lightly and said, "All talented people, no matter who participates in the competition, they are helping my Dingyuan County become famous. For the scholars in my Dingyuan County,
It will be a great honor, and all the talents will be able to achieve better development, and maybe even get the opportunity to study in Chongming Academy!"
After Chen Changxue finished speaking, everyone was surprised. Going to Chongming Academy to study? This is something that no one has ever thought about. You know, the teaching conditions in the academy are many times better than private schools in the county.
The students who came out of the academy were at least scholars. I think back then, Gu Changqing was a student who came out of the academy. After passing the examination as a scholar, he returned to his hometown and became a tutor.
I saw everyone in the scene showing a hint of hope. After all, if there is an opportunity to go to the academy to study, everyone will try their best to fight for it. It will mean that the future development will be smooth sailing and the success will be smooth. But I also thought of Master Chen just now
In other words, only six people in the field had the opportunity to represent Dingyuan County in the competition. Many people had a look of despair on their faces. They thought that this opportunity was so precious and it would not be their turn anyway.
Xiao Chu, who was at the back, looked thoughtful after listening to Chen Changxue's words. Although he was not sure what the academy Mr. Chen was talking about was, but seeing the hopeful looks on the faces of the talented people, he knew that this academy must be
It is much more valuable than private schools in the county.
"Do you want to give it a try?" Xiao Chu thought in his mind, but then gave up the idea. Although he could achieve some results at the literary exchange meeting in the county, this is just a small county with a few hundred miles.
Talents are also limited. If the three counties compete together, there will definitely be many talented people. In this case, he will have no advantage! He doesn't think that with his little cleverness, he can compete with many people who have read poetry and books.
Ancient talents.
Then Xiao Chu smiled bitterly, squinted his eyes in his position, and took a nap.
"Gentlemen, because you are all outstanding students in Dingyuan County, I have invited you here today. The six places will be chosen among the six of you. As for the selection method, we will not announce it for now.
Initially, we will conduct a seven-day improvement training in Mr. Li's private school, and then select six of you to participate in the Chongming Mansion Literary Competition."
Master Chen glanced at the talents in the compartment and was quite satisfied. However, when Chen Changxue saw Xiao Chu taking a nap with his eyes narrowed, his expression changed slightly. Didn't this little guy understand what he meant? He was still napping here.
?Look at the hopeful and excited faces of the other talented people in the cubicle, which is in great contrast with Xiao Chu's performance.
Does this little guy have absolute confidence?
Just as Chen Changxue hesitated, other people in the room seemed to notice that Mr. Chen's eyes were stagnant, and a look of confusion appeared on his face. Then all the talented people looked in the direction of Mr. Chen's eyes.
The person Mr. Chen was looking at was none other than Xiao Chu. Everyone saw that the little guy was leaning on the chair, his eyes closed, and he seemed to be snoring slightly.
this?
Everyone in the cubicle was stunned for a while. Isn't this little guy too casual?
Everyone was so excited after hearing Mr. Chen's words. You little guy, not only did you not listen to Mr. Chen's words, but you also fell asleep here? This is a bit disrespectful to Mr. Chen. Isn't it so ignorant?
Are people of etiquette still qualified to participate in the literary competition?
Seeing Xiao Chu's nonchalant look, Jin Xiangcheng actually felt a sense of joy in his heart. If this little beast's behavior angered the three gentlemen, it would be fine if they kicked him out. Then Jin
Xiang Cheng couldn't help but cast his eyes on the three gentlemen.
However, the outcome of the matter was beyond his expectation. The three gentlemen had noticed Xiao Chu's behavior, but they did not appear as angry as he expected. Jin Xiangcheng couldn't help but look depressed. This little boy
What is the origin of this beast? How could it attract the attention of three giants from Dingyuan County?
After a while, Mr. Li Zhiyuan stood up, looked at everyone, and then said: "Dear talents, this literary competition is an opportunity for Dingyuan County to be proud. I hope everyone can devote more energy and time and do their best.
Go, Li would like to thank you all."
After the words fell, Li Zhiyuan saluted everyone in the field again.
Everyone was a little surprised. Who would have thought that Mr. Li, who was highly respected in Dingyuan County, could actually give them a gift? This was an unprecedented thing, but they did not dare to accept Li Zhiyuan's gift casually, so they quickly returned the gift: "Mr. Li."
Don’t worry, sir, we will do our best!”
After the matter was explained, the three gentlemen asked everyone to disperse so that they could go home and prepare for tomorrow's improvement training. After all, this competition was related to the reputation of Dingyuan County, so they had to treat it seriously.
When everyone was almost gone, Xiao Changan also woke up Xiao Chu, who was taking a nap, and prepared to take Xiao Chu away, but was stopped by Mr. Li Zhiyuan.
"You are well, little one. After a year, you should be six years old, right?" Li Zhiyuan asked Xiao Chu with a smile on his face.
"Yes, sir." Xiao Chu spoke with great respect. After all, Mr. Chen is already his teacher, and the traditional virtue of respecting teachers cannot be discarded.
Then Li Zhiyuan called Xiao Chu aside and whispered something. However, all the actions between the two fell into Jin Xiangcheng's eyes, which made Jin Xiangcheng feel strange that Xiao Chu actually knew Mr. Li.
? Even in the old gentleman’s actions, he showed great respect for Xiao Chu. This Xiao Chu was just a young child, so why should he?
Jin Xiangcheng couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, but it was inconvenient to stay here for a long time, and of course it was impossible to eavesdrop. After all, if he angered the three masters, he would be disqualified from participating in the competition.
The gain is not worth the loss.
Mr. Li called Xiao Chu aside and asked about the scholarship. He even showed Xiao Chu the scholarship system he had drawn up. Xiao Chu nodded with satisfaction. Mr. Li was indeed a capable person.
, not only customized the scholarship system in great detail, but even added his own ideas to it, which is really amazing!
"Sir, the articles you have drawn up are already very detailed, and the students admire them!" Xiao Chu chuckled, but his admiration came from the bottom of his heart.
After saying this, Xiao Changan and Xiao Chu said goodbye to the three gentlemen. Anyway, there is no point in staying here now. It is better to rush home early. In fact, Xiao Changan also wants to study hard after going home.
A night of poetry writing can help you improve your talents and learning. What an honor it would be if you had the opportunity to represent Dingyuan County in the literature competition?
After Xiao and his son left, the three gentlemen called Xu Ziyou to them and said, "Ziyou, please tell us what happened just now in detail."
Xu Ziyou nodded in agreement and recounted everything that had just happened in the field in detail.
The three gentlemen were astonished. They had seen Xiao Chu's couplets at a literary exchange meeting last time, but they didn't pay much attention to them. However, when they heard Xu Ziyou say that Xiao Chu had said all the wonderful pairs one after another.
Sometimes, they can't help but secretly smack their tongues, and they even feel that their facial expressions are no longer under their control.
Is this little guy really a once-in-a-century genius?
But the literary competition in the county does not focus on couplets. I wonder how accomplished this little guy is in poetry. Can he shine in the Chongming Mansion Literature Competition?
