Chapter 53: The Protracted War
Su Jing didn't seem to understand what the second uncle said, because it was beyond the scope of what a child of his age could understand, but there was one thing he understood very well, that is, he must not lose to Tan Xiaotian again!
"Second uncle, don't worry, I must win that kid!" Su Jing swore loudly.
"Well, that's right, this is what my Su family looks like." patted his nephew on the shoulder, and Su Quan praised him with satisfaction - he and Yuan Lang opened a teaching hall in Meilong Town, and they have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years. Wu Wu No', the battle between literati has always been no recognized standard, today you show a hand to win a full house, the day after tomorrow he will make a move to open everyone's eyes, each has its own reputation, each has its own supporters, no one can stabilize the other party, but Yuan Lang came to Meilong Town to open the museum earlier, and the foundation is deeper, so the fame of learning Wuya is still greater than that of Wanjuanlou, which makes Su Quan very depressed, and every day he thinks about how to reverse this situation. But how?
Compared with personal talent, he can't tell the difference between high and low for more than ten years, and it is estimated that it is unlikely that he will be able to live in the second half of his life, Su Quan is a very realistic person, he knows that there is a so-called 'late bloomer', but that kind of situation will not appear in himself, he is now over the age of not confused, the plenary meeting of the meeting, the understanding of the whole understanding, what he will not know at this age, he may not be able to grasp it in the future, Yuan Lang's situation is the same as him, so there will be no result if he continues to fight in this regard.
Since there is no obvious effect on individual talent, then we can only find another way, and both of them are teaching in the school, so the competition in this regard has become the most important direction - who teaches students who is more talented and more promising, which also shows who has stronger teaching ability and who is more worthy of the title of 'famous teacher'. However, this contest is not only a competition of two people's teaching ability, but also a competition of the quality of their respective students in the two schools, although the sage teaches 'there is no class', but it is undeniable that the child's intelligence has a fundamental impact on academics, to use an inappropriate analogy, just like the most clever animal trainer can not teach a bear that can embroider. Meilong Town is not big, hundreds of townspeople, limited students, students with good qualifications can be met but not sought, most of them are not stupid or stupid, but not much smart ordinary people, such students to produce results all rely on personal efforts, so it also caused his strict teaching style, but it is not realistic to expect these students to outperform Yuan Lang, even if there are occasionally one or two good performances, it is only a general, it is not enough to change the perception of most townspeople, want to achieve the goal, It is necessary to teach an outstanding student, and this student must be far more talented than his peers, so that when the townspeople choose a school for their children to study, the first thing that comes to mind is this student and the Wanjuanlou who taught this student, as well as him Suquan!
It is for this purpose that he will ask his brother to send his nephew, who has reached the age of studying, to Meilong Town for him to cultivate, because he can be sure that Su Jing's qualifications are the absolute first among children of the same age in Meilong Town, and he has the intelligence to surpass the rest of the generations, coupled with his own careful cultivation and education, he believes that Su Jing will definitely become his most proud disciple, and at the same time, it is also the living signboard of Wanjuanlou, and although Yuan Lang also has a set in teaching, but the so-called Qiao woman is difficult to cook without rice, Students who do not have good qualifications are also powerless, crying out in vain, watching themselves be surpassed.
Su Quan went to Juyoulou this time to congratulate Mrs. Liu on her birthday, because he knew that Yuan Lang would definitely attend such an occasion, so he decided to let his nephew officially appear in Meilong Town, so that everyone knew that he had such a smart nephew, and Wanjuanlou had such an outstanding student, so as to overshadow Yuan Lang's limelight, but what he didn't expect was that Yuan Lang's luck was too good, and he actually accepted a child with an amazing memory on the day before the birthday banquet. Not only did he not achieve the goal of overpowering the other party, but he let the other party steal the limelight again, and it is not an exaggeration to say that stealing chickens is not a counter-erosion.
Speaking of which, although it was Su Jing who lost the competition, he also had part of his responsibility, and the art of war was said; Knowing the other is invincible. If I knew that the child called Tiantian only listened to Yuan Lang recite the "Discussion of the Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess" yesterday morning and wrote it down, then when Mrs. Liu proposed to flip the horse and hang as an entertaining game, he would definitely put forward other suggestions, so as not to let the advantage of the child's good memory be brought into play.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine to take in the world, and Su Quan is not the kind of person who will regret what has happened, reflection is to not make similar mistakes in the future, not to find a reason for himself to make mistakes, he knows very well that ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, wanting to teach an excellent disciple is not a matter of one or two days, today's confrontation between Su Jing and Tan Xiaotian is just the beginning of his own competition with Yuan Lang, and the days to come are still long.
"Did you hear what Old Lady Liu said at the birthday banquet?" After a little muttering, Su Quan asked his nephew.
"Well, are you talking about the Go game?" Su Jing asked.
"Yes, your father's chess game is very good, did he teach you to play chess?" Su Quan asked - the Su family is running a teahouse business in Qingyun City, and the teahouse is not only a place to drink tea and chat and talk about business, but also a place frequented by literati and elegant guests.
"Well, taught me for a while." Su Jing replied.
"Oh? Spell? What do you mean? Are you saying that you haven't taught it again? Su Quan asked.
"Hmm." Su Jing nodded.
"Why?" Su Quan asked strangely.
"There's no time." Su Jing replied.
"Uh, yes." Su Quan was a little disappointed, but this answer was actually not surprising, the eldest brother ran a teahouse instead of a chess club, and playing chess in a teahouse was only one of the entertainment projects rather than the main business, so teaching his son to play chess was only to cultivate interest rather than to make him a figure in the game, so naturally he would not spend too much energy in this regard.
