Chapter 15: Genius vs Prodigy

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and in the past three days, Lin Shuran has lived a relaxed life in the Grange, and a few small ones are also happy to follow her, Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng also experienced the fun of picking wild fruits in the mountains for the first time.

As for Xu Mingchen and his eight older children, they have not been idle in the past three days, and they are extremely competitive, and they are bound to win over the peasant boys of Dazhu Erzhu.

However, after three days of temptation and secret observation, they found that the second pillar of the big pillar and the children of other people in the grange were full of time every day, they got up very early to go into the mountains to cut grass and fetch water, and after breakfast they would go to the private school next to the grange to study, and in the afternoon, they would go into the mountains in groups to practice martial arts in their "secret place", and they would also follow the fifth uncle in the grange to hunt at night.

For some reason, the brothers of the Xu family are a little envious of the life of these children in the Grange, although it seems that their daily life is very hard, but their faces are always full of smiles, and they seem to have inexhaustible strength and work hard every day.

Lin Shuran specially called many people to watch today's game, and simply made a team card for both teams, one called the Xu family team and the other called the Tianzhuang team.

After Xu Mingchen and Dazhu's three-day deliberation, the content of the competition is roughly divided into Wenbi and Wubi, Wenbi is a competition as the name suggests, and Wubi is a game that children often play to test their fists and strength.

Wenbi's referee is Mr. Fan Xiucai, the private school of the Grange, and Mr. Xixi, Mr. Bai, the general's mansion, Fan Xiucai was penniless and homeless after falling to Sun Shan, and wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the cliff in the southern suburbs, but was persuaded by Lin Shuran to come to the Grange to teach and live, and Mr. Bai is a teacher specially invited by Xu Junze, although he did not become an official, but several bachelors in the dynasty were his students.

"What do you compare first?" Lin Shuran asked people to draw the venue of the game in the open space, and also asked people to set up a long table outside the field, and the table was full of melons and fruits and refreshments, which anyone could take at will.

"Xianwenbi!" Xu Minghao is an active member of the game, and he has the most ghost ideas, the two teams are fighting, he thinks that the first game is the most important, and only by winning can the other party's momentum be suppressed, it is obvious that Xu Mingchen and they also think the same, "Let the fourth brother come!" ”

The fourth Xu Mingfan is the most proficient scholar among the brothers of the Xu family, and he is also the most promising son of the Xu family in the eyes of Mr. Bai in the future, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young genius.

"Pinewood, you're coming!" Da Zhu said to a boy who was about the same age as Xu Mingfan behind him, and then an elegant and delicate boy stood up generously, he was Zhang Tang's son Zhang Songlin, the stepson of the Yu family, and he was also a house slave.

"As I said before, whoever can memorize the entire "Preschool Training" will win!" Xu Minghao glanced at the Grange team proudly, he couldn't carry it, but his fourth brother had no problem.

"Preschool Training" is an enlightenment book of the Jin Dynasty, and it is also the first book to be read in many people's lives.

"Young master, please first!" Zhang Songlin was polite and modest at a young age, not like the son of a house slave, but with a kind of momentum that was neither humble nor arrogant.

With just one glance, Xu Mingfan sensed that the other party was an opponent that could not be underestimated, and his originally relaxed and casual mentality became a little more cautious.

He was originally born in the scholar clan, and he had a noble and arrogant atmosphere, and he was not false and polite, so he memorized the entire "Preschool Training" word for word.

When he finished reciting, Xu Minghao proudly straightened his chest, and Mr. Bai on the side also nodded with satisfaction, which was not difficult for Xu Mingfan.

Unexpectedly, after Xu Mingfan memorized it, Zhang Songlin also memorized it word for word, and Fan Xiucai also smiled slightly, his student was a hidden prodigy.

When Zhang Songlin finished reciting, Xu Minghao seemed to have not suppressed the other party, and then said: "My fourth brother can also do it word for word when he reverses it!" Fourth brother, you are on your back! ”

Xu Mingfan glanced at Xu Minghao, who was "causing trouble", and then glanced at Zhang Songlin opposite, and finally opened his mouth to really recite it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Songlin was not to be outdone this time, and he was also backwards.

This calmed everyone who was watching, these two teenagers were both gifted and intelligent, which was really rare.

Mr. Bai and Fan Xiucai glanced at each other, and the two of them seemed to understand each other, and asked Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin to recite other articles and books on the spot, but the two of them, who were only nine years old, answered them correctly one by one.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really a hero out of a young man, it's really unthinkable, the old man can see such a scene today, if you two continue to study poetry and books, he will become a great weapon one day, and I will be fortunate for my dynasty!" Mr. Bai stood up excitedly, he knew that Xu Jiashiro was smart and studious, but he didn't expect that there were also young immortals in this remote countryside.

Lin Shuran looked at the two teenagers who were not up or down in the endorsement, and said with a smile: "If you want to become a big tool, you can't just be able to endorse, you also have to use your brain, so let's give you a question, whoever solves it first, then whoever wins, how about it?" ”

Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin glanced at each other, both of them nodded to Lin Shuran, and the others had no opinions, so Lin Shuran asked people to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and she drew two identical nine-square grids on two pieces of white paper.

"This picture is a nine-square grid, you can use the nine numbers from one to nine, so that the horizontal and vertical angles add up to fifteen, and the one who is right first is the winner!" Lin Shuran handed the two pieces of paper to Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin respectively, this is the simplest Sudoku game in modern times, and it is very useful to exercise a person's thinking.

After the two of them took it, they both looked at the blank nine-square grid and frowned slightly, they had never seen such a novel topic before, but Zhang Songlin had been pointed out a lot by Lin Shuran in the past three years, his thinking was active and divergent, and he was obviously more bottom-notch.

But Xu Mingfan was not timid, on the contrary, he was more excited and excited, reading and learning words was too simple for him, it was no longer challenging, and it didn't arouse his interest in learning, but the emergence of new things rekindled his fighting spirit.

"The two of them are busy with their own business, you can continue to play!" Lin Shuran sat back in her chair and looked at the members of the two teams with a smile, there is a talent for learning that cannot be wasted, and there are other talents that cannot be buried, she will continue to see how many surprises these children will give her.
