Chapter 44: The Little Competition
"Heh, little guy, if Ah Fu didn't fully unfold the upper link just now but folded it in half, then what would you do?" Liu Wenxiong asked quippedly.
"It doesn't matter, I know the word 'from', the word 'ancient' and the word 'shang', as long as I recognize these words, I can know what the words in front of and after them read." Tan Xiaotian replied solemnly - in his mind, this is a matter of course, is it necessary to react so much?
"Uh, haha, haha, Dad, you're right, this little guy is really smart, one in a hundred, no, one in a thousand smart kids, Mr. Yuan, I really want to congratulate you, this son will become a great weapon in the future!" If the method just talked about has the flavor of tricks, then the method that Tan Xiaotian talked about at this time is quite logical, although this is not a great idea, but considering that the other party is only five years old, Liu Wenxiong can't help but praise it repeatedly.
"Hehe, Mr. Liu praised it falsely, the small skills of carving insects are difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and it is insignificant." Yuan Lang replied modestly, his tone was indifferent, so he was calm, but it was not difficult to see the joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"Haha, although it is a small skill of carving insects, it is also exquisite, Mr. Yuan's requirements for his disciples are inevitably too strict, right? Every day, this jade pendant was given by a friend when I went to Qiuzi, and I have been with me for almost 30 years. Liu Wenxiong smiled, casually untied the white jade pendant hanging from his waist, and asked Tan Xiaotian kindly.
Such a move immediately caused a commotion among the guests of the birthday banquet - who is Liu Wenxiong? The richest man in the Meron Array, none of the clothes he wears are not exquisite, especially today is the seventieth birthday of his father Mrs. Liu, and the dress is even more exquisite, the jade pendant is not lightweight, and it is sold in the county seat, but I am afraid that thirty or fifty taels of silver may not be able to stop it, and ordinary people in the town are frugal and food-saving, and it is impossible to save it for two or three years.
"Uh", Tan Xiaotian was at a loss for a while, he didn't know how much such a jade pendant was worth, but his aunt had been educating him that other people's things couldn't be accepted, this person who was about the same age as Teacher Yuan seemed to be very kind, but after all, he was not a person he knew, and his aunt would definitely be unhappy when he went back, but looking at the jade pendant, it was smooth and white, and the surface reflected a soft brilliance, which made people feel the urge to take it in his hand and play with it when he saw it, and he was hesitant in his heart, wanting to accept it, for fear of making his aunt angry, refused, and was worried that Liu Wenxiong would be unhappy, so he didn't feel that he turned his attention to Yuan Lang for help.
"Hehe, Boss Liu, this meeting gift is too precious for children, every day the family education is very strict, if you accept it, I am afraid that I will be reprimanded by my aunt when I go back, in my opinion, it is better to change it to something else." Qiu Ju's character had already been seen by Yuan Lang during his home visit the day before yesterday, and he knew that Tan Xiaotian would definitely be angry if he accepted such a valuable meeting gift, but Liu Wenxiong is also a person with a head and a face, identity and status, and it is also a very shameful thing to be rejected for a meeting gift, especially in this kind of situation in full view, so he persuaded him, hoping that Liu Wenxiong could exchange it for other less expensive gifts, which would at least be easier to accept.
"Well, well, the question is, what should I change it to?" Liu Wenxiong hadn't seen Qiu Ju, and he didn't know what the personality and temper of this so-called aunt were, but since Yuan Lang said that accepting such a gift would definitely make Tan Xiaotian trained, he didn't want to make the child suffer because he was happy, but he didn't prepare in advance, and none of the gadgets he wore were worthless, so he couldn't seal a few bags of silver as a gift (not a matter of how much money, but that way was too cheesy), so he groaned for a while and couldn't make up his mind.
"Hehe, Fumio, there's no need for me to be so troublesome, aren't there three children now? Since you want to give a child a meeting gift, the other two must not be less, it is better to ask Ah Fu to go back and get two more jade pendants, and put them together with your jade pendant as a prize, let the three children have a competition, whoever wins the first will choose the prize first, so that even Tiantian's aunt has no reason to blame Tiantian. Seeing this, Mrs. Liu said with a smile - as the so-called family has an old man, if there is a treasure, the experience of the old man is irreplaceable by others.
"Well, that's what you always say. Ah Fu, don't do it yet. Liu Wenxiong immediately accepted this suggestion - such a small amount of money is basically meaningless to him, the important thing is to make the old father happy, and the old man's idea is indeed good, on the one hand, it can avoid the embarrassment of being rejected as a gift, on the other hand, this can be regarded as an entertainment program at the birthday banquet, what prizes can be obtained anyway depends on their own ability and luck, and it also saves people from saying that they favor one over the other, which is unfair.
The subordinate Ah Fu answered the call and left Juyoulou to go back to Liu's Mansion to pick up things, and it would take a while to wait for it to come and go, so people began to discuss what this improvised little game was better than.
Due to the large age gap between the three children, physical strength or sports topics were excluded first, because it was too unfair to Tan Xiaotian.
Not compared to physical strength, the topic can only be chosen in terms of intelligence, there are proposals than calligraphy, there are proposals than painting, and there are proposals than endorsements, but they were all vetoed by Mrs. Liu, because calligraphy, painting and other levels require long-term practice, such topics are obviously not good for young children, as for the competition endorsement, it is equivalent to letting the little fat man Tian Qingyou at the bottom.
"Shou Xinggong, what do you say is better than that?" The bell still needs to be tied to the bell, since it is the idea of Mrs. Liu, then let him make a decision.
"Huh." Gently brushing her beard, Mrs. Liu was not in a hurry, and she was confident, "Ma hanging." He said word by word.
"Horse crane?!" Knowing that the birthday star proposed this, the guests were surprised - the so-called horse hanging is a paper card, the full deck of cards has forty cards, divided into 100,000 guan, 10,000 guan, Suozi, Wen Qian four suits, to the size of the number and the pattern of the pattern to distinguish, the play is four people, each person takes eight first, the remaining eight in the middle of the table, four people take turns to play cards, take cards, out of the cards to hit the small. Players have a dealer, the player's division, the dealer has no fixed master, can take turns to sit, of course, there is more than one way to play the horse hanging, there are rules around the place, in principle, as long as the four people who participate in the card game recognize, then creating a new way to play is also a common thing.
