Poor Family

  Chapter 32 Rematch Fierce Battle

In the rest room, Yue Fei held the topic bag in his arms, and sat on the small stool looking at the floor tiles in a daze. Li Yanqing sat beside him and persuaded: "If Master wants to beat me, I will bear it alone. This is the only thing we have. chance, unless you don't want to make it to the final again."

Yue Fei also thought about it all night. Although he admitted that Li Yanqing's plan was feasible, Master would never let them off lightly afterwards. With a sigh, Yue Fei said: "I think we should talk to Master and ask for his approval before doing it. .”

   "You know it's useless to ask. Master won't agree. I've said it all. I'll take responsibility for Master. You can follow my plan!"

  Yue Fei's desire to win finally overcame his worries, he straightened his back and nodded, "Forget it, if Master really wants to beat us, let's bear it together!"

As soon as Wang Gui and Tang Huai came back from the latrine, the cloud board for entering the arena rang. The four of them stood up and walked into the arena. From the beginning of the semi-finals, the master will leave the arena. Yao Ding stood outside the window and waved to them, letting them They cheer up.

  In the main hall, six judges are already seated, and the chief judge is still the old pedant from yesterday.

  Tang Huai whispered to Li Yanqing: "See, the tallest student on the far side is Zhang You. His father is a Jinshi and an official in the imperial court."

  Li Yanqing nodded, but saw a student about their age sitting next to Zhang You, and asked curiously: "Who is that next to him? He doesn't seem very old."

   "I heard that it is Zhang You's younger brother Zhang Xian. This is also the first time to participate this year. I guess he is planning to take over from his elder brother."

  At the seat, Ma Fu, the county magistrate, was drinking tea while looking at Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing reminded him of Li Daqi, and an uncontrollable hatred surged in his heart.

  He has survived for eleven years, and was about to be promoted four years ago, but it was Li Daqi's miss that made him lose his only chance to be promoted.

   Now he is fifty-three years old, basically there is no hope of promotion in this life, and his son is not up to date, sleeping in flowers and willows all day long, spending money like water.

  However, Li Daqi has a son who can inherit his studies, how can he calm down in his heart.

'when! The bell rang, and the debate began. There was no sound in the hall, and the chief judge began to stand up and read out the rules. The master was not present, and the re-examination was for the students to choose the question type to ask each other, but each type of question can only appear once. This will increase the on-the-spot contest and make the game more confrontational.

   "Preface to the drawing of lots!"

  The presiding judge yelled, Yue Fei and Zhang You stepped forward to draw the lottery in order, and Yue Fei got the answer lottery, that is, the other party asked first, and they answered first.

   "For the first question, we chose the silent scriptures. I would like to ask the other party to recite three chapters of "On the Passing of the Qin Dynasty." Tang Beixiang took the lead in raising their first question.

This question is not difficult, and it fits the characteristics of the first round, but it is not easy, mainly because it requires memorizing three chapters of "On the Passing of the Qin Dynasty". ' It's over. Few people read the middle and second parts, but this question can't help the students in Lushan Town, and the master recited the silent passages for them.

  Li Yanqing turned around and smiled at Tang Huai: "You know this one the most, and you haven't misremembered a single word. You can answer it!"

Tang Huai got up to answer the question for the first time. He was very nervous, so he simply closed his eyes and slowly recited, "Qin Xiaogong, according to the solidity of the Wei letter, owns the land of Yongzhou. In the universe, it encompasses the meaning of the four seas and swallows the hearts of the eight wilds."

He spoke very slowly, and was a little nervous at first, but later, Tang Huai's nervousness gradually disappeared, and his eyes opened, as if he had returned to school, reciting eloquently, becoming more and more proficient, and finally he recited: "The wild proverb says: 'If you don't forget the past, you will be the teacher of the future. Take the gentleman as the country, observe the past, test the present, participate in personnel affairs, observe the principles of ups and downs, judge the appropriateness of power, and go in order. Changes vary according to time, so the time will last for a long time and the country will be safe.'

   After the memorization was finished, Tang Huai suddenly became alarmed. He glanced at the judges in horror, and hurriedly sat down, "Brother Qing, is there something wrong with my memorization?" Tang Huai asked nervously.

   "No problem, memorizing is more proficient than us."

  At this time, the presiding officer looked at the magistrate, and the magistrate nodded, and the presiding officer knocked on the chime, "Passed!"

   Tang Huai cheered, and knocked Wang Gui to the ground with a forgetful punch. He was so frightened that he quickly helped him up, "I'm sorry! I forgot."

  Wang Gui rubbed his cheeks and hummed, "I'll answer the next question."

When it was their turn to ask, the four of them discussed and decided to ask about poems. Yue Fei took out the question, stood up and asked, "Mr. Banshan once wrote eighteen poems in "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia", please recite at least fifteen of them. .”

Mr. Banshan is Wang Anshi. He has written countless poems and essays. Among them, "Hujia Eighteen Pai" has written 18 poems in total. Five, and the other three are no problem.

However, Yao Ding's topic was suspected of flattering the county magistrate. Ma Xiancheng couldn't help but snorted softly. Although the sound was very low, the county magistrate Liu Zhen still heard it. He looked at Ma Xiancheng sharply. Wang Xianggong It's his master. Ma Fu, a member of the Yuanyou party, dares to insult his master?

  Both of them are Tangyin County parents officials, people with status, and they immediately talked about each other as if nothing happened.

  At this time, Zhang Xian, a student of Tang Beixiang, had already memorized the ninth piece.

   Self-declining this life, don't ask the heavens, and Hu Er intends to abandon the donation.

   At the beginning of helping the bed and first sitting, it was pitiful to hug and caress.

  Ning Zhiyuan envoy asked his name and surname, leading his sleeves to wipe away his tears, mourning and celebrating.

  Be more sad than parting at birth, stay in the Jun's house with two sons.

  All the judges secretly admired, as expected of a profound family education, the elder brother is superior in strength, and the younger brother is not bad, it seems that there are successors in Tang Beixiang Academy!

  Although the debate in the lobby was in full swing, Yao Ding did not stand in front of the window to watch the battle. He sat on the steps and squinted at the school gate. This familiar gate made him fall into the memories of the past.

At the age of 16, he passed the examination, but failed five times in a row in the provincial examination. Fifteen years of time was wasted, and he was also disheartened. He returned to his hometown of Tangyin County and became a teaching assistant for the county school. Twenty years passed in a blink of an eye. They grew up and started their own families, and the eldest son became a school principal and his boss.

  Yao Ding went to Lushan Town School seven years ago, and he was going to spend his old age there, but unexpectedly met Li Yanqing, which gave him hope for the future again.

  At this time, someone behind him suddenly laughed and said, "Master Yao is so leisurely!"

  Yao Ding turned his head, but it was He Zhen from Weinan Town School, Yao Ding smiled lightly, "The sun is good, it is rare to have such sunshine in winter, does Master He also come out to bask in the sun?"

  He Zhen sat down next to Yao Ding, smiled and said: "I am also very concerned about today's debate! To be honest, I wish Lushan Town will achieve better results and reach the final round."

   "This is a bit insincere!" Yao Ding glanced at He Zhen.

   "No! No! No! I mean it."

  He Zhen pretended to be sincere: "Although I am a little selfish, I am telling the truth."

He Zhen may be telling the truth, but his attitude may not be sincere. Yao Ding has seen through this person a long time ago, and he shook his head noncommittally, "Yesterday, the Lushan Town School has demonstrated its super strength, and today is the Tangbei Township School. No point was lost."

  He Zhen looked around, lowered his voice and said: "As far as I know, the magistrate appreciates your beloved disciple very much. This is an opportunity. Master Yao must seize it!"

   After speaking, He Zhen smiled, got up and left.

  Yao Ding watched his back go away, spat heavily, "What!"
