Gu Huizhu was so involved in the competition that he forgot what his original purpose was. Now when I heard what people said, I remembered that the little yellow croaker I was thinking about had not yet arrived, so I smiled and said, "Thank you, then I'll wait." ”

Just as she was about to step down, she heard the old gentleman stop her: "Little girl." ”

Gu Huizhu had no choice but to stop, turned around, and looked at the old gentleman suspiciously.

The old gentleman stood up, walked up to Gu Huizhu, and said, "Little girl, do you know where you lost?" ”

Gu Huizhu didn't understand that this old gentleman seemed to be quite loyal, and now he stopped himself and asked himself what he was saying such incomprehensible words for, was it for himself? It's boring, isn't it?

But the other party is an elder, Gu Huizhu also takes care of face, and he doesn't dare to make a mistake, so he tells the truth: "I'm not as good as the old gentleman, the old gentleman can not only export the chapter, but also say the number of cards and the meaning, and I can only make up four rhyming poems, so I lost." ”

The old gentleman seemed to see what Gu Huizhu was thinking, so he showed his first smile today, and said gently: "Don't get me wrong, I think you are a talented person, so I want to tell you a few words." Little girl, it is better to believe in books than to have no books. Judging from your speech, you read a lot, but you lack the ability to think independently. If you learn without thinking, you will only stay at the level of familiarizing yourself with poetry and books, and you cannot apply what you have learned, which is one of the reasons for your failure today. ”

Gu Huizhu was like an empowerment, and he was instantly convinced.

The old gentleman continued: "You have ink in your belly, so you can easily win a few competitions, but if you are complacent because of some small results, and you can't see the eyelashes, you will have a pimple on the back of your head, and you can't see your own shortcomings, so you don't want to improve." ”

Gu Huizhu originally just turned around and listened to the old man's words, but quickly turned around and listened to the old man's advice seriously.

"You are not very old, and you can read poetry well, but if you go deeper, you can't do it, and in the end, you still think too little, so you can't use the poems you already have in your head. If you can recognize your own shortcomings and change them, with your qualifications, over time, there will be a qualitative leap. ”

Gu Huizhu bowed his hand and said: "Sage Kong, never tired of learning, never tired of teaching. The old gentleman's tireless attitude is the spirit of a scholar. Thank you for the teachings, I will be smart when I hear and see, and it is easy to learn from friends, I will definitely reflect on my own shortcomings, make greater progress, and live up to the kindness of the old man. ”

The old gentleman heard Gu Huizhu's humble and polite face, nodded appreciatively, and thought to himself, sure enough, he didn't see the wrong person.

Gu Huizhu walked off the stage, Liping and Xuemei were afraid that she would be sad, so they hurriedly stepped forward, just wanted to comfort her, but found that Gu Huizhu did not look very sad. Xuemei saw Gu Huizhu, who still looked the same after losing the game, and she was not worried about her anymore, so she asked, "What did you just say to that old gentleman above?" Why don't you come down for a long time? ”

Gu Huizhu smiled and said, "It's nothing, he just reminded me." ”

"Oh." Xuemei nodded, and asked Gu Huizhu cautiously, "Are you sad?" ”

"No, I don't. I couldn't have gotten the Champion in the first place! Gu Huizhu said generously: "I know how many catties and taels I have, Yuecheng is so big, how many elite talents have gathered, which onion am I?" But I don't regret participating in this competition, it's good, I feel like I've grown a lot. ”
