XXXVI. The Battle of the Covenant
About ten days is not too long, and if it is properly arranged, it is enough to take five days off. But it is not too short, and anything happens during the period, so Jiang Shuiyuan must be arranged in advance before going to the capital, so as not to be anxious at both ends, and the most important of them is to be difficult to study the country.
It is now the end of February, and the difficult qualifiers for Chinese culture are about to start, although as the last champion, Huai'an Fuzhong can directly enter the second round of elimination, but it must not be taken lightly. Because this is not like the Chemistry Olympiad or the New Concept Essay Contest, the gains and losses are all Jiang Shuiyuan's business, relax your eyes, correct your mentality, and self-adjustment will pass in a few days, which is related to the future development of the Guoxue Lecture and Dam Club and the well-being of dozens of members, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. If you really want to be like the previous champion Huai'an No. 1 Middle School, you will be cut down by your opponent in the first game, and the fun will be great!
Every afternoon after the third class, Jiang Shuiyuan will appear on time in the conference room of the Chinese Studies Lecture Forum, or put out a topic for his teammates to take turns to act as the main general, the second debate, the third debate, and the free man to speak, or let everyone divide into two teams to attack and debate each other and then comment, so as to hone everyone's practical skills. Fortunately, the Huai'an Fu squadron won a good ranking in the provincial competition last year, coupled with Wu Zichen's vigorous publicity, as well as the strong appeal of Jiang Shuiyuan and Pu Xiaoxiang's partners, it is very attractive to attract a group of potential stocks with solid foundation in Chinese culture, and the overall strength is still three points stronger than last year.
On this day, Jiang Shuiyuan was organizing last year's teammates and several people who were fighting this year to debate around "Wen Yi Carrying the Dao", when he suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. He glanced at the door slightly, and Wu Zichen, who was doing service work, immediately rushed over, opened the door and asked, "Who?
Then I heard a girl politely reply, "Hello, we are from Sanyo High School, may I ask if this is Kodansha of Chinese Studies?"
"Sanyo High School?"
Shanyang High School, the full name of "Private Shanyang Senior High School", except that the name is very similar to the famous Shanyang Junior High School, there is nothing else to praise, and it is a school with no sense of existence within the boundaries of Huai'an Prefecture. Now he came to the door rashly, which made Wu Zichen a little confused: "This is the Guoxue Lecture Society, yes, what do you have to do?"
"That's right, we are from the Mingdao Chinese Academy of Shanyang High School, and we want to discuss something with your president. ”
Jiang Shuiyuan hurriedly got up and came to the door, only to find that the other party was two people, a short-haired and capable girl, that is, the one who spoke just now, and a thin boy in a long shirt, with a little arrogance between his eyebrows. At that moment, while letting the two of them into the office, he introduced himself: "Hello, I am the president of the Kodansha of Chinese Studies, and my name is Jiang Shuiyuan." I don't know who the two are?"
The girl replied with a smile: "Yushu is in the wind, with a graceful demeanor, just like the rebirth of Shubao (Wei Jue) and the reincarnation of Changgong (Gaosu, King of Lanling), you know by looking at your appearance that you should be the famous President Jiang." I am Lan Fang, vice president of the Mingdao Sinology Society of Shanyang High School, and this is Tan Fengjian, our vice president. ”
Tan Fengjian looked Jiang Shuiyuan up and down a few times: "Oh, Jiang Shuiyuan? You are the one who is known as 'the strongest high school student in history'?"
Jiang Shuiyuan didn't know what he meant, so he shook his head and laughed at himself: "It seems that it's really 'good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles', my classmates ridiculed the high hat I wore for me, but I didn't expect it to reach your ears and make you laugh." In fact, I am a rat carrying a gun - in the nest, in the middle of the nest, in the absence of Buddha respect, how dare I call what is the strongest? Come on, President Lan, President Tan, please inside!"
Lan Fang said: "President Jiang, you are too modest! The second year of high school cross-level participation in the third year of high school examination, and also won the first place in the grade, and you are the first in Huai'an Mansion, your glorious deeds have already spread all over the major high schools in Huai'an Mansion, and we are all shocked." I don't dare to say anything else, but if you want to say that you are the strongest high school student in Huai'an Mansion right now, there is absolutely no doubt about it, right?
"It's just an informal exam, and I'm lucky to be unreal. Jiang Shuiyuan sat down with them in the office, and then asked straight to the point: "I heard that you have something to discuss with me just now, I don't know what it is?"
Lan Fang said: "That's the case, isn't the annual discussion of Chinese culture about to start soon? I and President Tan took the liberty to come here today to bother, because I want to invite you to our school to exchange and learn, first, to learn from you, and secondly, everyone can also warm up with each other and find the feeling of the competition." I wonder what President Jiang thinks?"
Wu Zichen, who was pouring water, put down the paper cup and sneered: "Hehe, let's warm up? Who gave you confidence?"
Lan Fang replied without humility or arrogance: "Self-confidence is not given by anyone, but comes from our own reading, learning and growth. Of course, we know that the Huai'an Fu Squadron is the champion of the last session and the favorite to win the championship this year, and President Jiang is the best debater in the province last year. But to play chess to find a master, the axe must go to the class, first of all, we must have this kind of 'self-reflexive shrinkage, although tens of millions of people, I will go' courage and self-confidence. If we don't even have the courage and self-confidence to take on this challenge, what books will we read and what competitions will we participate in?
Jiang Shuiyuan applauded and praised: "Well said! Just in response to President Lan's words, I know that Shanyang High School will definitely achieve excellent results this year!"
Lan Fang became humble at this time: "Thanks to President Jiang's auspicious words." But our own family knows our own affairs, in the final analysis, Shanyang High School is only a second- or third-rate school in Huai'an Prefecture, in terms of cultural heritage, historical accumulation, student quality, and talent training, and Huai'an Mansion is not a difference. is like the level of Chinese culture debate, if you want to stand on the same height as Huai'an Fuzhong, I am afraid that there is still a long way to go. ”
Jiang Shuiyuan was just about to say a few polite words, but Tan Fengjian stood up, and said coldly with his hands behind his back: "Lan Fang, you don't want to grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige! What kind of historical accumulation and cultural heritage? What is the relationship with the theory of Chinese culture? To put it bluntly, the difficulty of the theory of Chinese culture is that a school picks four or five people, competes in memorizing ancient books, and plays tricks, and whether the level is high or not depends only on the luck of the school. If there happen to be a few students in the school who have a good mouth and a good memory, they can naturally block and kill the gods and the Buddhas, and once these people graduate and there is no successor, it will be a dish!"
Jiang Shuiyuan said with a smile: "It's novel and interesting to talk about the president's point of view, but it's not much different from the actual situation!"
Wu Zichen stared at Tan Fengjian and said, "How can I listen to you, it seems that the emperor takes turns to do it, and this year I have good luck to your Shanyang High School?"
Tan Fengjian looked up at the sky at 45 degrees, with a look that counted you as acquaintance: "Our school is lucky, we barely got together four or five people, and we should be able to fight, so I look for people everywhere and want to try the knife!"
"And then you came to our school?"
"The sacrificial treasure knife should not be used by unknown people. ”
"Boy, you're fat enough! I guess you're a newborn calf, and you haven't seen much of the world, right?" Wu Zichen borrowed a quote from the African flat-headed brother: "It's not our nature to be arrogant, but provoking us is tantamount to suicide." Don't tell me how much you compare, because no one is as good as us, and don't say how many of you are, because everyone is not as good as our boss, you just need to tell us the time and place, and make sure that you will kneel down and sing "Conquest" every minute!"
It was very rare that Jiang Shuiyuan did not stop Wu Zichen's boasting. As an individual, you can be humble and low-key. But as a team, especially on behalf of Huai'an Fuzhong, if you don't have a little arrogance and blood, how can you compete with people on the field with bayonets?
"This Saturday, at nine o'clock in the morning, Sanyo High School No. 1 Lecture Hall. Lan Fang simply reported the time and place, "At that time, we will invite a well-known Chinese culture expert from Huai'an Mansion to come and comment." ”
Jiang Shuiyuan nodded: "We will definitely participate on time." After a pause, he added, "But I'm not sure if I can participate." ”
"Cowardly?" Tan Fengjian is always so direct and so vicious.
Wu Zichen sneered: "Do you study liberal arts or science?"
"Liberal arts, what's wrong?"
"Then it's no wonder. Our boss accidentally won the first prize in the National Biology Olympiad before, and won the first prize in the Provincial Mathematics Olympiad without paying attention. Can your brain, which only knows the subset of scriptures and histories, poetry and songs, figure it out?"
