Chapter 73: Competition

Mr. Chen couldn't help but feel a little interested, and asked Xiao Yuanbao many questions.

The little ingots still answered fluently, looking very relaxed.

At this time, Yuan Qingyun could only stand aside and watch.

The jealousy in his heart was like thousands of biting ants, pounced on his skin and gnawed at his flesh.

His eyes were getting redder.

It's hard to believe, it's just a child less than ten years old, how can it be so gloomy?

The situation here can't help but attract the attention of the people in the village.

Some villagers gathered here with breakfast, eating breakfast while watching with relish.

Although they couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent them from watching the excitement.

"That's amazing! This kid is amazing! No wonder Mr. Chen can take a fancy to her! ”

"It's no worse than a boy! Look at that Yuan Qingyun, he is in the family science, and his grades are not bad! But now he is like a mute, unable to say a word! I read his books from the first two years, and they were all in vain, and they all went to the dog's stomach! ”

"That's right, that's right! The little ingots are indeed much more powerful than Yuan Qingyun! Therefore, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice will make holes! Yuan Shoushan didn't study well before, so no matter how powerful his son is, how powerful can he be? It's Yuan Houde, that's good material for reading, so his daughter is also very good at reading! ”

"Look at now, the little ingots have crushed Yuan Qingyun, and ten years later, Yuan Qingyun will be even more incomparable to her! In the future, the second room of the Yuan family will continue to press the big house of the Yuan family, this is fate! Don't toss the big house of the Yuan family! ”

……

"Enough! Shut up! Yuan Qingyun shouted.

The way he looked scared the villagers.

The villagers quietly took a step back.

The villagers with children at home thought to themselves, in the future, they must tell their children that they must not play with Yuan Qingyun!

This kid is so violent.

Who knows what will happen to his own children when he annoys him?

After Yuan Qingyun finished roaring at the villagers, he lowered his head gloomily, raised his eyelids and glared at Yuan Shoushan.

This look was very terrifying, and even Yuan Shoushan was startled.

That's right, he hates Yuan Shoushan!

It's useless to hate him!

Hate him!

If he learns to be rich like Little Yuanbao's father, he will be taught badly?

If he also had a large collection of books at home, would he not be able to answer the questions raised by Mr. Chen?

It's useless to blame this dad!

There are so many people dying every day in the Great Dragon Kingdom, why don't you kill this person?

Mr. Chen took a deep breath, stretched out his hand and stroked his chest, even more reluctant to take this child as an apprentice.

This child is already crooked from the roots.

He could only force himself to continue to focus on Xiao Yuanbao, and he asked gently, "Who taught you all these knowledges?" ”

"My father and my mother!" Xiao Yuanbao said adoringly, "I have the most powerful father in the world, and the most powerful mother!" They're all amazing, and when they talk, I can't understand a word! They like to read, play chess, and ...... antique calligraphy and paintings."

"Hehe, then your father and mother are indeed Moke literati." Mr. Chen nodded.

"They have taught me a lot, and I know a thousand big characters now, but I can't write well," Xiao Yuanbao said with some shame, "I knew that I used to practice calligraphy more seriously." ”

In this case, when my father and mother are alive, they will be more pleased, right?

"It's okay, you can practice slowly in the future." Mr. Chen touched the little ingot's head.

"Well, I'll definitely practice my words seriously!" The little ingots nodded vigorously.

After Yuan Qingyun vented his anger, he realized that with Xiao Yuan Zhuyu in front of him, Mr. Chen would not take a fancy to his intelligence and talent no matter what.

Right now, resentment against small ingots is useless.

The most important thing is how to increase the weight in other places, so that Mr. Chen is willing to accept him as a disciple!

Yuan Qingyun immediately arched his hand towards Mr. Chen, and made a respectful gesture: "Mr. Chen, didn't you say that you accept apprentices to look at their knowledge and character?" In terms of learning, the kid is now willing to bow down, but you haven't seen my character yet! ”

"You don't have to look at it," Mr. Chen waved his hand, "I have more or less heard about your style in the village, and if you don't say anything else, just say that you bully your cousin, and you will not do it well!" ”

"Okay, then even if I do something wrong," Yuan Qingyun said reluctantly, "But people are not sages, who can be innocent, know mistakes can be corrected, and good is great, don't you allow me to change my ways?" ”

His aggressiveness really annoyed Mr. Chen.

But Mr. Chen is a personable person, and he thinks that the other party is just a child, so he still opened his mouth: "I originally thought that in terms of examining character, I would give the other party three tests. The first test is to look at the wind evaluation of the people in the village, since you have a bad reputation in the village, then your first test is considered a failure! ”

"And what about the remaining two tests?" Yuan Qingyun couldn't wait to ask.

"Let me think about it." Mr. Chen touched his beard and fell into deep thought.

"Sir, may I make a request?" Yuan Qingyun pleaded.

"What requirements?"

"Mr. thinks my character is not good, but I think the character of the little ingots may not be better than mine!" A look of resentment flashed in Yuan Qingyun's eyes.

If she wasn't a little poisonous scorpion, how could she have forced his mother to swear a poisonous oath in the first place?

How could his mother have been hacked to death?

God pity!

Little ingots really didn't force her aunt!

It was her eldest aunt who had to swear a poisonous oath in order to get back the custody of the little ingot, and in order to kill her again in the future!

If you do evil in the sky, you can still live, but if you do it yourself, you will not live!

But would Yuan Qingyun think so?

He obviously won't!

He just wants to blame all this on the head of the little ingot!

"So, what do you want to say?" Mr. Chen asked with a frown.

"I want little ingots to be tested with me! If her character is not good, her husband will expel her from the school! Yuan Qingyun said loudly.

The villagers shook their heads and looked at Yuan Qingyun with disdain.

"How could her character not work?"

"You're thinking too much! What kind of bad boy you yourself are, do you think others are also bad boys? Little ingots are much more sensible and kind than you! ”

"The children in the village love the little ingots! And the children who play with you are all the way to you! ”

……

Yuan Qingyun ignored the crowd of the villagers, turned his head to look at the little ingot, and used the agitation method: "Are you afraid?" ”

"I'm not afraid." Little Ingot shook his head.

"If you're not afraid, you'll be tested with me! If you don't pass the test, even if the gentleman doesn't expel you, you have to ask yourself to leave the door! Yuan Qingyun said viciously.

"Why did she ask herself to leave the door?" The mirror protected the little ingot.

"If she doesn't dare, she is a loss of virtue!" Yuan Qingyun went directly to the moral kidnapping.

"Whether she dares or not is her will, and it has nothing to do with whether she is virtuous or not! You don't need to change your concept here, I won't let you bully the little junior sister! His eyes were as cold as ice, and his voice was cold and deep.

The situation is deadlocked.

Xiao Yuanbao patted the hand of the mirror and laughed out of two cute little pear vortexes: "Senior brother of the platform, it's okay, my father and mother taught me well, I won't be afraid of him!" Since he wants to compare so much, then I'll compete with him today! ”

Yuan Qingyun saw that she agreed, and immediately felt that his treacherous plan had succeeded.

At this time, he didn't know what it meant to be more than goods to be thrown away, and people were better than people to die!

Sometimes it's not the scariest thing to be poor, it's the scariest thing to be compared!

He'll regret it!

"Okay, I have made up my mind in my heart," Mr. Chen said slowly, "The first test I give you is to ask you to go to the Baiju Temple in the county seat early tomorrow morning, get the dew on the Baiju and let me make tea and drink it, and I will judge according to the dew you have taken." ”

"What's so special about the White Chrysanthemum Temple?" Yuan Qingyun immediately asked.

"I heard that the temple is steep and difficult to climb." Mr. Chen said.

Yuan Qingyun nodded, thinking in his heart, what is the judging standard? Surely the sooner you get it, the better!

His eyes rolled from side to side, and he already had an idea in his mind.

"And what about the third test?" Yuan Qingyun asked again.

"Let's wait until you pass the second test first," Mr. Chen waved his hand, "It's been a long delay this morning, you can go back first, and we're going to start teaching." ”

Yuan Shoushan took Yuan Qingyun and left.

The villagers saw that there was no excitement to see, and they also dispersed.

Mr. Chen let the two little ones in, and then closed the door of the house tightly.

Since the Tangtai Mirror often came to ask him for teaching during this time, he still knew a lot about the foundation of the Taijing, so he only gave Xiao Yuanbao a set of questions on the spot.

This set of questions was made on the basis of this morning, and the questions were more difficult than his school examination this morning, and he wanted to know where Xiao Yuanbao had learned, so he could continue to teach her.

In this set of questions, Xiao Yuanbao answered two-thirds of the questions.

As for the remaining third, she couldn't answer.

Mr. Chen looked at the questions she had answered and nodded with satisfaction.

She got all the questions right.

The questions she couldn't answer were really difficult.

She could understand so much, which was already very unexpected for Mr. Chen.

He thought she would only be able to answer a third of the way at most.

"Very good, very good, a child with a very good foundation," Mr. Chen nodded with a smile, "Ordinary children, at your age, are far less learned and learned deeply than you, your father and mother have a heart!" ”

Little Ingot smiled sweetly, very happy.

"Two hours have passed," Mr. Chen glanced at the leak next to him, "You should go back today, tomorrow is still the hour, you have to come on time." ”

"Definitely! Definitely! Little Ingot nodded.

Early the next morning.

Before dawn, it was still dark outside, and the mountains in the distance were like sleeping giants, lying on the ground.

There were a few rooster crows in the village, followed by a few sporadic dog barks.

The cold dew condensed into water and slowly dripped from the eaves, smashing the morning glory that had not yet bloomed and swayed slightly.

Aunt Jin gently patted the little ingot's face, and said softly: "Ingot Bao, Yuan Bao, wake up, you told me last night, you have to get up early today, and you have to go to Baiju Temple to get dew." ”

"Hmm." The little ingots woke up in a daze, got into the quilt with his eyes closed, found the clothes he had prepared last night, and put them on himself with his eyes half-closed.

By the time she got dressed, she was almost sober.

The little ingots put on their shoes and ran to the yard to fetch water and rinse their mouths.

The four fields were frighteningly dark, and the birds and finches made a few strange cries in the trees.

At this time, the moon was all pale, half-hidden behind dark clouds, and radiated lightlessly.

"Sniff." There was a knock on the door outside.

The little ingots put down the bamboo cup, ran to the door with a dada, pulled the deadbolt on tiptoe, opened the door hard, and poked out a small head curiously.

A carriage was parked outside the door.

In front of the carriage stood two men.

Bu Mai was carrying a lantern on the side, looking at her with his sleeves rolled up, holding a soup woman in his hand.

The weather is getting colder and colder, especially at this dark dawn, and you can let out a faint white air when you speak.

The mirror handed the hot soup woman to the little ingot.

"Hey, why are you here?" Little Ingot asked curiously.

"It's still early, you can't wait for the ox cart, if you walk to the county seat, it will be too hard," said the Taijing, "the cook has already prepared breakfast, and the food box has been placed on the carriage, so we can eat it on the way." As for the copper kettle for drawing water, I have already prepared it. ”

"Thank you, Senior Brother Tantai, Senior Brother is so good!" Little Ingot said happily.

"Are you ready?"

"Not yet."

"Then I'll wait for you for a while."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "Do you want to come into the house and sit for a while?" It's too cold outside! ”

"I'll just wait outside." The mirror shook his head slightly.

The outside is deeper and heavier.

Flowers fall into a mound outside.

The cold autumn wind blew the osmanthus with cold dew and gently sprinkled it on his clothes.

He stood in the faint light of the lantern, his little face was very delicate, and his cold eyebrows and eyes on weekdays were also revealed a little soft because of the dim light.

Xiao Yuanbao ran back to the yard, and immediately finished washing her face and rinsing her mouth, she ran to the door of the room and said to the prepared old man Jin and Aunt Jin: "Dad, mother, Senior Brother Tangtai is here!" He came in a carriage and he took me to the White Chrysanthemum Temple! ”

"So early?" Old Man Jin and Aunt Jin glanced at each other, both surprised.

"It's so cold outside! Don't go! I'll go back as soon as I go with Senior Brother Tantai! The little ingots ran over and kissed Aunt Jin on the face.

"But you are two children...... Aunt Jin was a little worried.

"Don't buy thirteen years old! Also, the coachman is also an adult! With adults here, we're going to have no problems! ”

"This ......" Aunt Jin hesitated a little.

"Senior Brother Lantai is more expensive than me!"

Aunt Jin thought about it, this is also true, so the adults of the Shantai family will not let their children have accidents, and the little ingots will definitely be well protected if they follow the Shantai mirror.

"Do you really want your father and mother to go over together?" Aunt Jin hugged the little ingots and pasted the soft little face of the little ingots with her rough cheeks.

"No," Little Ingot chuckled, "I'll be back soon!" ”

"Then you call your senior brother in, and I'll go to the kitchen to get you something to eat!"

"The cook of the Tantai family has already made it and put it in the car. Dad, Mom, you don't have to worry! ”

Old man Jin silently took a thick coat and draped it over the little ingot.

It was too cold in the morning, and he was afraid that the little ingots would catch a cold.

The little ingots ran out of the door happily, like a bird burrowing into the woods.

Old man Jin and Aunt Jin walked out, and Aunt Jin said to the mirror: "Thank you for your hard work." ”

"It should." The mirror nodded, and looked at it again.

Bumai delivered a large food box in his other hand to Aunt Jin's hands.

"The young master said: The kitchen is too much." Said without buying.

"Thank you, thank you." Aunt Jin said with some embarrassment.

"It's okay, Mr. is also happy to see that our two families have a good relationship." Yu Taijing said very decently.

He turned around and helped the little ingots into the carriage.

He remembered that last time, when they went to find Dr. Sun Huichun, Xiao Yuanbao tripped when he got into the carriage, and he felt that the carriage might still be a little too high for Xiao Yuanbao, and if he didn't help her climb into the carriage, he would always be a little uneasy.

The carriage moved forward in the silent early morning, making a clattering sound along the way, gradually shattering the heavy night, revealing a shallow glimmer of light in the sky.

When the crimson sun, in the distant mountains, showed a face like a red cherry, the carriage finally traveled to the foot of Baiju Mountain.

The reason why this mountain is called White Chrysanthemum Mountain is because in autumn, the mountains are covered with white chrysanthemums.

The clusters of chrysanthemums bloom with the fragrance of life in autumn, and then die with incense, so that the literati and ink writers passing by sigh, and also chisel many stone tablets on the mountain, and carve their own poems on the stone tablets, leaving them for future generations to observe.

Therefore, Baiju Mountain is also a local scene.

The temple that Mr. Chen asked them to go to was built on Baiju Mountain, and this temple was named Baiju Temple directly according to the place name.
