"Yes, let the third son." Sun Dong replied indifferently - there is no need to keep this matter secret, and many children who have learned endlessly know that they have fought with Tan Xiaotian, so even if Yuan Lang has the style of a gentleman and is tight-lipped, it is impossible to expect a six-year-old child to withstand the inquiries of others, so instead of letting others hearsay, it is better to tell it directly.

"In this way, is it almost zero that Jing'er will win Tan Xiaotian in the year-end competition?" After being silent for a long time, Su Quan asked.

"If I hadn't come, the word 'almost' in your sentence would have been omitted." Sun Dong smiled indifferently again - the talent shown by Tan Xiaotian on the chessboard was something he had only seen in his life. Genius', but no matter how good the material is, it also needs the careful carving and polishing of skilled craftsmen to become a peerless treasure, as a teacher, Yuan Lang is conscientious and dedicated, it can be said that the master of dedication and cultivation can be used as a Go teacher, his personal chess strength is very limited, and he basically can't teach Tan Xiaotian more things, if he doesn't leave Meilong Town to learn from another famous teacher, then if he wants to improve, he can only rely on personal efforts, and the speed will definitely slow down. As for Su Jing, although he can't compare to Tan Xiaotian in terms of talent, he has such a high-level finger whose strength far exceeds that of Yuan Lang to teach, the so-called grinding spear in battle, not fast and light, in a short period of time, relying on his own secret tricks, may not be able to make Tan Xiaotian suffer a little.

"In this way, it will be troublesome for Brother Sun to bother." Understanding the meaning of the other party's words, Su Quan asked very seriously.

"Hehe, that's natural, I thought it was a very easy job, but I didn't expect it to be such an opponent, but it's okay, it's a little interesting, isn't it?" The corners of Sun Dong's mouth curled up, and he smiled faintly again—he preferred the thrill of an unpredictable challenge to the financial gains.

After sending Sun Dong away from Xuewuyan, Yuan Lang and Tan Xiaotian carefully dismantled the game of backgammon just now, and Yuan Lang recorded the chess score and kept it carefully, so Tan Xiaotian returned to Yuelai Inn later than usual, and came to the backyard utility room, Qiu Ju was sitting on the bed mending clothes, there was a meal on the table, and the meal was covered with a basket, in order to keep warm, the basket was also covered with a thick drawer cloth, and two pairs of chopsticks were placed next to it, obviously Qiu Ju had not eaten yet.

"Auntie, I'm back." Tan Xiaotian shouted, hanging the schoolbag he was carrying on the nail behind the door.

"Oh, I'm back, wash my hands and eat, the food is still warm." Qiu Ju put down the work in her hand and told Tan Xiaotian to prepare for dinner, she had already asked Tian Qingyou just now, and knew that the master who came from Qingyun City came to find Tan Xiaotian after school, so it was not surprising that her nephew came back later than usual today. After washing his hands, he came back, the basket had been taken aside, the meal was not rich, a bowl of boiled cabbage, a plate of pickled radish, and in addition to two bowls of small rice, the child was hungry fast, and his stomach was already empty at this time, and when he saw the hot meal, he had long ignored it, and sat at the table and devoured it.

"Eat slowly, and no one will rob you, be careful of choking." Looking at the wolves and tigers eaten by children, Qiu Ju said with a smile, poured another bowl of hot water and put it next to Tan Xiaotian, and then sat down to eat with dishes and chopsticks.

"Auntie, I played a game of chess with the eldest brother from Qingyun City just now." Children can't hide words in their stomachs, especially the kind of things that they think are worth showing off, half a bowl of rice is down, and they don't feel so hungry Tan Xiaotian said to Qiu Ju while chewing a piece of pickled radish.

"Huh, really? How does it feel? Qiu Ju asked with a smile.

"He was very good at chess, but in the end I won." Tan Xiaotian replied.

"Win? How many sons? Qiu Ju asked.

"Let the third son." Tan Xiaotian replied.

"Hehe, it's not simple, your mother is still amazing, the first time she won a nine-rank chess player by the third son was nine years old, if she knew that you did what she did when she was nine years old, she would be so happy that she couldn't sleep." Qiu Ju praised with a smile.

"Really? What about my dad? Receiving praise, Tan Xiaotian asked excitedly.

"Your father? Then I don't know. But he's much better at chess than your mother, so maybe he's about the same age as you at that age, right? After thinking about it, Qiu Ju replied uncertainly. , Auntie, you are my father's sister, how do you know that my mother had more things to do than my father when she was a child? Stopping the dishes and chopsticks, Tan Xiaotian tilted his head and thought for a while, and suddenly asked.

"Uh," Qiu Ju was stunned when she heard this, and then she realized that she had made a mistake for a moment - aunt is the title of the younger generation for her father and sister, and the brother and sister of the family lived together when they were young, so they were naturally more familiar with each other's affairs, and her answer just now showed that she was more familiar with Tan Xiaotian's mother, who was not in the same family, which was obviously inconsistent with common sense

The child is getting bigger and smarter, and he will be more careful when he speaks in the future-Qiu Ju thought to herself.

"Heh, what's so strange about this, girls like to play with girls, boys like to be with boys, aren't you the same with Qingyou?" Asking questions and answering west, Qiu Ju said perfunctorily.

"yes, that's right." No matter how smart he is, he is still just a child in the end, Tan Xiaotian didn't realize that his aunt's answer was prevaricating, so he was easily persuaded, nodded, and continued to eat, Qiu Ju also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, that big brother also said that I should go to Tokyo Bianliang to learn chess, aunt, what is Tokyo Bianliang, it's not far away?" After a few bites of rice, Tan Xiaotian remembered something again, raised his face and asked Qiu Ju.

"Tokyo Bianliang?" Hearing this question, Qiu Ju's body shook significantly, the smile on her face froze, and countless pictures flashed in her mind in an instant.

"Uh, auntie, what's wrong?" I didn't expect my aunt's reaction to be so big, thinking that she had said the wrong thing, Tan Xiaotian hurriedly asked.

"Oh, it's nothing, Tokyo Bianliang is the imperial capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the place where the emperor lives is far, far away from us." Coming back to her senses, Qiu Ju smiled reluctantly and answered Tan Xiaotian's question.

"How far? Is it farther than Qingyun City? Tan Xiaotian asked-Qingyun City is the closest city to Meilong Town, and it takes a day to come and go, and in the hearts of children, it is far, far away.

"Hehe, how can Qingyun City be compared, let's put it this way, from us to Tokyo Bianliang, day and night, if you rush every day, you have to walk for two or three months." Qiu Ju said with a smile.

"Ah, so far", such a distance is far beyond the imagination of a child, Tan Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.
