Three days have passed in the blink of an eye. During these three days, Lin Shuran has been living at ease in the farm. The children who followed her are also enjoying themselves. 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. They are extremely competitive and are bound to defeat the farm boys like Dazhu and Erzhu.

However, after three days of testing and secret observation, they discovered that Dazhu Erzhu and the children of other servants in the farm had full schedules every day. They got up very early and went into the mountains to cut grass, carry water, and eat.

After breakfast, they would go to the private school next to the farm to study. In the afternoon, they would go into the mountains in groups to practice martial arts in their "secret place". In the evening, they would also go hunting with Uncle Wu in the farm.

For some reason, the Xu family brothers were somewhat envious of the life of these farm children. Although it seemed that their daily lives were very hard, their faces were always filled with smiles and they seemed to have endless energy in their bodies. They worked hard every day.

Looks like he's working very hard.

Lin Shuran specially invited many people to watch today's game, and simply made team cards for both teams. One was called the Xu Family Team and the other was called the Grange Team.

After three days of deliberation between Xu Mingchen and Dazhu, they decided that the content of the competition could be roughly divided into literary competition and martial arts competition. The literary competition, as the name suggests, is a competition for literary talent, while the martial arts competition is a game often played by children to test fists and strength.

The referees of Wenbi are Fan Xiucai, a private school teacher from Gianzhuang, and Mr. Bai, a teacher from the Grand General's Mansion. Fan Xiucai became penniless and homeless after losing his fame in Sun Mountain. He wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff in the southern suburbs, but was persuaded by Lin Shuran who happened to be passing by.

Later, he came to the farm to teach, and Mr. Bai was specially invited by Xu Junze to teach. Although he did not become an official, several bachelors at that time were his students.

"What do you want to compete first?" Lin Shuran asked people to draw the competition venue in the open space, and also asked people to set up a long table outside the field. The table was filled with fruits and refreshments, and anyone could take it at will. Today, they adults

She just came to watch the excitement, so she specially set up a chair and sat down.

"Wenbi first!" Xu Minghao is an active player in the game and has the most evil ideas. When the two teams are fighting, he believes that the first game is the most important. Only by winning can he suppress the opponent's momentum. It is obvious that Xu Mingchen and the others also think so, "Let's

Fourth brother is here!"

The fourth eldest son, Xu Mingfan, is the most proficient in reading among the Xu family brothers. He is also the most promising son of the Xu family in Mr. Bai's eyes. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young genius.

This stunned everyone watching. These two young men are both talented and intelligent people, which is really rare.

"Songlin, come here!" Dazhu said to a boy behind him who was about the same age as Xu Mingfan, and then an elegant and delicate boy stood up generously. He was Zhang Songlin, the stepson of Zhang Tang's son Yushi, and also

It's a domestic slave.

Xu Mingfan glanced at the "troublemaker" Xu Minghao with some impatience, then at Zhang Songlin opposite him, and finally opened his mouth as if he was memorizing everything.

Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin looked at each other, and both nodded to Lin Shuran. The others had no objections, so Lin Shuran asked someone to bring a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and she drew two identical nine-square grids on two pieces of white paper.

With just one glance, Xu Mingfan realized that the other party was an opponent that should not be underestimated, and his originally relaxed and casual attitude became a bit more cautious.

"As promised before, whoever can memorize the entire "Youth Education Literary Training" will win!" Xu Minghao rolled his eyes at the farm team proudly. He couldn't memorize it, but his fourth brother was fine.

"Young Learning Literature" is an enlightenment book in the Jin Dynasty, and it is also the first book that many people read in their lives. When a teacher teaches his disciples, the first lesson is to teach "Young Learning Literature".

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

He was originally from a noble family, and he had an aura of nobility, coldness, and arrogance. He was not pretentious and polite, so he memorized the entire "Young Learning Literature and Training" verbatim.

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

Unexpectedly, after Xu Mingfan finished reciting it, Zhang Songlin also recited it word for word. Fan Xiucai also smiled slightly. His student was a hidden prodigy.

When a top student meets a top student, this competition becomes even more exciting. Lin Shuran looked at the two teenagers who were neck-and-neck in memorizing, and said with a smile: "To become a great person, you can't just memorize, you also need to be able to use your brain.

Well, let me give you a question, and whoever solves it first wins, how about that?"

When Zhang Songlin finished reciting, Xu Minghao seemed to have not suppressed the other party, and then said: "My fourth brother can recite it backwards and every word is correct! Fourth brother, you recite it backwards!"

Mr. Bai and Fan Xiucai looked at each other, as if they understood each other. They asked Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin to recite passages from other articles and books they had learned on the spot. As a result, the two nine-year-olds got all the answers correct.

"It's amazing, it's amazing. It's true that a hero emerges from a young age. It's really unexpected that I can see such a scene today. If you two continue to study poetry and books hard, you will become a great person in the future, which will be a blessing to our court!"

"Mr. Bai stood up excitedly. He had known that Xu Jiasilang was smart and eager to learn, but he did not expect that there were young talents in this remote rural place.

"Young master, please go first!" Zhang Songlin seemed polite, modest, and moderate at a young age. He really didn't look like the son of a domestic slave, but he had an aura that was neither humble nor arrogant.

"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. The first one to make the right answer is the winner!" Lin Shuran handed two pieces of paper to Xu Mingfan respectively.

and Zhang Songlin, this is the simplest Sudoku game in modern times, and it is very useful to exercise one's thinking.

After taking it, both of them looked at the blank nine-square grid and frowned slightly. They had never seen such a novel question before, but Zhang Songlin had been taught a lot by Lin Shuran in the past three years, and his thinking was active and divergent.

Obviously I feel more confident.

But Xu Mingfan did not feel timid. On the contrary, he was more excited and excited. Reading and practicing calligraphy were too simple for him. It was no longer challenging and did not arouse much interest in learning. Instead, it was a new thing.

The appearance of him rekindled his fighting spirit.

"The two of them are busy with their own business, you can continue the game!" Lin Shuran sat back in her chair and looked at the members of the two teams with a smile. If you have the talent of learning, you can't waste it, and if you have other talents, you can't bury them.

, she then went on to see how many more surprises these children would give her.
