"Yes or no, after all, I only know after the comparison, the so-called Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is not the second, confidence may not be able, no confidence will definitely lose, although you are young, but there is no need to be afraid of those people, in short, as long as you go all out in this selection competition and work hard to play every game of chess, then even if you are not selected in the end, the master will not blame you, remember?" The purpose of reminding attention has been achieved, and Zheng Jili will not say more, if you want to get a good result, pressure is necessary, but too much pressure may also have the opposite effect, so you should pay attention to the proportion, so as not to add to the snake and overdo it.

"Remembered." Tan Xiaotian nodded vigorously, originally he didn't pay much attention to this selection competition, but when he heard that there might be someone with the same strength as Meng Aqi among the opponents he encountered, he couldn't help but feel a little more excited in his heart, he has played a few games of chess with the second senior brother in the past few days, and in general, there is a gap in the strength of the two people, but the gap is not very large, but the components of the game practice and research between the senior brothers are mostly the same, and the feeling of the real game duel is not exactly the same, so he is also looking forward to a real game. Only then can the player's belief in winning be fully mobilized and the strongest move can be made.

"Well, okay, let's go." The instructions were almost finished, and Zheng Jili said to Zheng Xing, who had been guarding the side for a long time.

Zheng Xing then took Tan Xiaotian and left the study - it was still early before the start of the tryouts, but he would rather arrive early than be late, who would dare to be sloppy in selecting materials for the royal family.

The department in charge of selecting the lecturer for the princess is the Hallym Academy, and the location of the selection competition is naturally also the Hallym Academy. Sitting in the carriage, Tan Xiaotian followed Zheng Xing to the gate of the Hanlin Academy and looked up. The door wall is towering, the trees are forested, the end is antique, elegant and deep, and the two forbidden soldiers in light armor at the door, one of them is holding a seven-foot spear in his hand, and his eyes do not squint. The body is like a clay sculpture, very majestic.

Outside vehicles are not allowed to enter without permission, so outside vehicles and horses must be parked in the open space outside the Hallym Temple. There is a special tethered horse post and a shed for the coachman to rest, and Zheng Xing does not need to bother to settle it, so he told the coachman to drive to the rest place, and he took Tan Xiaotian to the gate of the courtyard. Because today there is a special business. There is an official at the door who is responsible for receiving the contestants, wearing soap-colored official clothes and black purple official hats, sitting behind the bookcase very eye-catching.

"Official, it's hard work." Coming to the table, Zheng Xing saluted the official messenger.

"Oh, you're welcome. Are you here for the auditions? The official returned the salute, glanced at Tan Xiaotian behind Zheng Xing and asked with a smile.

"Yes. My name is Zheng Xing. It is the housekeeper of the Zheng Mansion, this is Tan Xiaotian. Representatives of the Zheng family participating in the selection competition. Zheng Xing showed his intention, took out the invitation document stamped with the seal of the Hanlin Academy from his arms, and respectfully handed it to the other party with both hands.

After opening the official document and verifying his identity, the official picked up the pen and asked Zheng Xing to sign the sign-in book, and at the same time looked at Tan Xiaotian curiously, "The little boy doesn't look very old, how old is he?" He asked.

"Eight and a half years old, almost nine years old." Tan Xiaotian replied that children's thoughts are different from adults, adults always want to be younger, while children always want to grow up quickly, so that they can do things that only adults can do.

"Not yet nine? , hehe, it's really a hero from a teenager, amazing, amazing, I wish you can play well today and take the lead. The official said with a smile - he is a member of the Hanlin Academy, and he has a considerable understanding of the candidates for the selection competition, and he heard that the representative sent by the Zheng family this time is very young, less than nine years old, and he was originally a little suspicious, but now he sees that he has heard the other party say it himself, so he is convinced.

"Xie Guan Ye Jiyan, if you can really be selected every day, I will invite you to dinner." The game is coming, auspicious words always like to listen, Zheng Xing is a person who often runs outside, very good at coming to things, immediately smiled and thanked the other party, Xiran still doesn't know what the benefits of getting to know each other can be, but as the so-called multiple friends have many roads, multiple enemies have many walls, and there is no harm in knowing a few more people.

"Hehe, of course." The official said with a smile - the people who can come to the Hanlin Academy to participate in the selection competition today are basically the few big families in the capital (it is impossible for the royal family to allow people with bad backgrounds to have close contact with the royal children), the Hanlin Academy is the Qingshui Yamen, unlike other places such as the Ministry of Industry, where it is easy to have extra money to take, and there is a chance to get to know the people in the big family, maybe when will you be able to climb to the sky in one step and change the fat shortage.

"Yo, isn't this Steward Zheng?" The two of them were talking politely enthusiastically, and someone came at the door again, with a cordial voice, revealing an indescribable familiarity, Tan Xiaotian and Zheng Xing hurriedly turned their heads to look, but it turned out to be acquaintances, Steward Sun of Jiangfu, the one who had met on the road when he first arrived in the capital.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Steward Sun, I haven't seen you for many days, and I've seen you again." Zheng Xing clenched his fists and arched his hands to the other party.

"Hehe, there's no way, it's such a physique, drinking cold water can also grow meat, I'm dying of sorrow for this." Steward Sun approached with a smile, followed by an eleven or twelve-year-old child, not tall, with a big head, a serious expression, a focused gaze, not looking at height and shape, just looking at this look and demeanor like an adult in his thirties and forties.

"Oh, hehe, what's so worrying, the so-called heart is wide and fat, if you live well, people are easy to grow meat, if you want to lose weight, just find more troublesome things to do, but then I'm afraid you won't be happy again." Zheng Xing joked with a smile.

"Haha, you still have knowledge as Steward Zheng. By the way, isn't it every day? Hehe, it turns out that the person who represented the Zheng family was really you? Steward Sun laughed and changed the topic noncommittally.

"Yes, it turns out that Steward Sun has already guessed it, admire, admire." Zheng Xing said with a smile - What a big deal is the selection of the princess lecturer, who of the several major families did not find a way to investigate the candidates for the main opponent, so he didn't believe that the other party only knew who the representative of the Zheng family was when he saw Tan Xiaotian today.

"Hehe, when I saw Tiantian on the road that day, I felt that this child was not ordinary, and sooner or later he would become a big weapon, but I didn't expect to be entrusted with such an important task by the Zheng family so soon, and to participate in such an important selection, the courage and vision of the head of the Zheng family are beyond the reach of mortals such as me." Steward Sun praised with a smile, on the one hand, he praised Zheng Xinyu for his insight and courage to use people, and on the other hand, he also praised himself, and he looked at people with the same vision as Zheng Xinyu.
