Taken by the officials, Tan Xiaotian came to the side hall, which is only separated from the arena by a wall, and the layout is very elegant and quiet, with celebrity calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, porcelain stones on the shelves, and three people sitting at a square table, all of whom are the three examiners I have just seen.

"My lord, Tan Xiaotian brought it." The leading officials reported to Cui Shilang, Jiang Dingshan and Wei Gonggong.

"Well, you can wait outside the door first." Jiang Dingshan instructed - Tan Xiaotian still has to go out after seeing Tan Xiaotian, the three of them are all examiners, and they can't send the children away in person, otherwise it will be easy to fall into the handle, and be accused of being close and intimate, there are behind-the-scenes deals, you must know that in officialdom, there are many things that can only be said and not done, and there are many things that can only be done but not said, in short, no matter how complicated the Tao inside is, it must feel upright and fair to others.

"Yes." The leading official stepped back and went out, standing outside the door waiting for orders, leaving Tan Xiaotian at the door looking at the three adults curiously.

"Hehe, you are Tan Xiaotian, why don't you greet a few adults when you see them?" Father-in-law Wei always had a kind appearance of a smile, seeing Tan Xiaotian standing there stupidly looking at a few people curiously, knowing that the child was young and had no similar occasion experience, so he reminded with a smile.

"Ah, oh." Tan Xiaotian thought of what he should do, and hurriedly bowed deeply at ninety degrees, and greeted the three of them one by one, in fact, the Zheng family had already trained him before this set of etiquette, but he forgot about it for a while.

"Well, sit down." In the arena hall just now, there were many people, and the second was far away, Cui Shilang didn't pay much attention to Tan Xiaotian, he didn't expect Jiang Dingshan and the Wei Gong Guild to be so interested in this child, and even specially called people to meet alone after the chess game, he naturally had to pay more attention, he knew very well that although he had the highest grade among the three, today's invigilation belonged to the role of soy sauce, and it was Jiang Dingshan who really played the leading role, since Jiang Dingshan was interested in this child, he couldn't pretend to be blackfaced.

Tan Xiaotian sat down after thanking him, according to the previous training, his butt was only one-third of the chair, his hands were squared on his knees, his eyes were squinting downward, his eyes were looking at his nose, nose and mouth, and his mouth was inquisitive, upright, with a serious expression, not looking around as curiously as he was just now.

"Hehe, Tan boy, don't be so nervous, I just asked you to come over and chat casually and relax." Seeing this, Gonggong Wei smiled and said - it is easy to see whether the child is really temperamental or the performance after being trained, how can he chat in this situation?

This 'Tan boy' made Tan Xiaotian's spirit relax a lot, this is to show the cordial care of the elders to the younger generations rather than the superior position of the superior, compared to the other two officials who are in official robes and have a dignified appearance, or this old man who is a little old but has a bare chin and no beard, reflexively, Tan Xiaotian grinned at Gonggong Wei, and his body also relaxed, no longer as tight as just now.

"Hehe, Tan Xiaotian, I heard that you only came to the capital last month, who did you learn chess with before that?" Jiang Dingshan also tried his best to relax the expression on his face and asked kindly-Although he had read Tan Xiaotian's introduction materials, the information from the Zheng family newspaper was very simple and must have been concealed (all to tell the truth, isn't the Zheng family's credit for cultivating talents shared by others?). So the best way is to ask the person directly, an eight or nine-year-old child, no matter how talented he is in chess, his experience and heart and eyes cannot be compared with adults, even if the Zheng family tells him not to talk more, is it still afraid that his own city government will not be able to ask?

"Oh, Huijiang adults, the younger generation learned chess at the age of five and a half, the enlightenment teacher is Yuan Lang Yuan of Meilong Town, and a year later he went to Yangzhou Jiangdu Chess Academy to study for two years, the class teacher is Jacky Zhang, and the teaching teacher is Zhao Yanwu Zhao." Tan Xiaotian replied - Although Jiang Dingshan is an official in the court, his other identity is that of a chess player, who belongs to the chess world, and in these two identities, his status as a chess player is much higher than that of an official, so Tan Xiaotian regards himself as a junior.

"Yangzhou Zhao Yanwu, well, to have heard of it, although Zhao Yanwu is not first-class in chess, it can only be regarded as a second-rate midstream, but it is very researched in the way of teaching, and has taught a lot of excellent brothers. I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Zhao and discuss and study this way of teaching. Jiang Dingshan is not interested in the class teacher, that is, the role equivalent to the logistics supervisor, although the responsibility is very important, but in the study of chess skills based on personal development, its role is far less than that of the teacher. He is an ambitious person in the chess world, as the son of the Jiang family, the future head of the Jiang family, he naturally wants to inherit his father's glory and sit in the Hanlin Academy, the position of the first throne in the chess world, so he has a deep understanding of the situation of chess around the country, and spends a considerable amount of time reading the information sent from all over the country every day, with Jiang Dingshan's cultivation and status, Zhao Yanwu only belongs to the kind of situation of 'knowing that there is such a person', but in front of Cui Shilang and Wei Gonggong, he has to maintain his demeanor and say a few beautiful words.

But compared to Mr. Zhao, I am more interested in your enlightenment teacher. As far as I know, the entrance examination threshold of Jiangdu Chess Academy is not low, and those who can enter must have a considerable foundation before entering. Jiang Dingshan then asked--If it was a famous person in the world, he would definitely know that he had also heard of a local famous master in Yangzhou like Zhao Yanwu, but the Great Zhou Dynasty had a vast territory, a territory of thousands of miles, and a population of hundreds of millions, and it was normal for him to have masters in the countryside who he did not know.

"Oh, Old Master Yuan's chess skills are actually not high, and in the estimation of the juniors, it should be around the second level. However, although his chess strength is limited, Old Master Yuan is extremely serious about teaching the juniors, not only trying to find various chess books for the juniors to study, but also supervising them every day to prevent the juniors from having the opportunity to be lazy and slack. It is precisely because of his strict requirements of the old man that the basic skills of the younger generation are very solid, which plays a very big role in the further study of the Jiangdu Chess Academy. Tan Xiaotian replied truthfully - Yuan Lang is the one who opened the door to Go for him, and he has a very special position in his life, and this position has nothing to do with the level of chess skills.
