"Congratulations to Xiao Shenrong for winning the first place in the world!”
"The host is shameless!"
"Host, you're really good at pretending!"
"Host, I'm in my third year of high school this year. Do you dare to compete with me in mathematics? Let's play with the two dimensional equations!"
“666”
"Watching Almighty Xiao's live broadcast is much more interesting than watching a TV series. But with the protagonist's personality, hehe, it would be best if he didn't die!”
"Host, you've become the 32nd generation successor of the Mo family. Does the Mo family's giant know?”
" Streamer, Fish Ball!"
"The host is very thoughtful. With the identity of the Mo family's successor, many things can be taken out in the future.”
Kong Yingda's mood was rather complicated. Even though the mathematics competition just now wasn't very formal, a loss was a loss. He still had this bit of responsibility. But losing to a thirteen-year-old youth, if word got out, it would probably become a legend in the Great Tang!
Now, he somewhat believed that Xiao Tian really might be the successor of the Mo Family.
In this world, other than the Mohist School, who else could learn mathematics to such a 'profound' level? He had observed Xiao Tian's expression just now. Every time Xiao Tian answered a question, his face would reveal a disdainful expression. This disdain was not directed at people, but at these questions. In other words, these questions that were considered extremely profound by ordinary people were like child's play in Xiao Tian's eyes.
It was also because of this that he took the initiative to admit defeat.
"Teacher Kong, it's your turn to set the questions for the second round.”Xiao Tian reminded.
"In this second round, let's verify the calligraphy!”As a scholar, Kong Yingda didn't like the term 'competition,' so he used 'verification' instead. However, in reality, they all meant the same thing!
Compete in calligraphy?
When Gao Yang heard this, he was delighted in his heart.
But at this moment, Empress Zhangsun said,""Mr. Kong, there's nothing comparable to calligraphy, right? You've been practicing calligraphy for decades. Even if Xiao Tian started practicing when he was six or seven years old, he's only been practicing for six or seven years at most. Wouldn't he lose for sure?”
Kong Yingda pondered for a moment and nodded."That's right. In a calligraphy competition, this old man is indeed bullying the weak.”
Xiao Tian glared fiercely at Empress Zhangsun. Calligraphy was something that he thought he could win. Although his thin golden calligraphy was still immature and lacked maturity, it was at most 20% of the original creator, Song Huizong's skill.
However, don't forget that this was the unique calligraphy of the Great Tang. This was an original work. Even if Kong Yingda's calligraphy surpassed his, it was equivalent to losing!
Calligraphy was not just about who could write better. To be able to create a calligraphy style was what was called amazing!
If Kong Yingda hadn't suggested competing in calligraphy, he would definitely have suggested it in the next round. However, if Kong Yingda changed it to something else after he mentioned it, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he wouldn't be able to suggest a calligraphy competition in the next round!
When Empress Zhangsun saw Xiao Tian's small actions, she was like a little fox and secretly smiled smugly. She naturally knew that Xiao Tian's calligraphy was very good, but such a competition was very rare. It would be a pity if it ended too quickly!
"Reading is about learning and memorizing.”Kong Yingda said slowly," If it's a competition of knowledge, then with your age, I'm bullying the young. In this round, let's compete in memorization!"”
"Interesting!" Empress Zhangsun laughed. How do we compare the specifics?"
"Little friend and I will each read out an article and then repeat the other's article. We will win or lose based on the number of words we repeat.”Kong Yingda said.
When Xiao Tian heard this, he was shocked. It was actually reciting! Wouldn't he lose for sure?
"Alright, let's compete! You read it first, I'll remember!" He was a young man, how could he lose to an old man whose memory had deteriorated?
"Little friend, listen up!" Kong Yingda didn't flip through the book and directly read,"" I heard that the officials were talking about expelling guests, and I thought it was wrong…Now, Your Majesty has given us the jade of Kunshan, the treasures of Sui and He, the pearls of the moon, the sword of Tai'e, the horse of Xianli, the flag of the emerald phoenix, and the drum of the alligator…"
Xiao Tian felt a little dizzy. He was not good at reciting classical Chinese! He could barely come out. This should be a minister's advice to the emperor. As for the rest, he could not understand it at all!
Xiao Tian thought maliciously about whether he should read a paragraph of English to the old man later!
"Little friend, please!" Kong Yingda smiled. From Xiao Tian's expression, he could tell that he had never read the article.
" I admit defeat…" Xiao Tian was about to say " I admit defeat ", but before he could say the word " lose ", he suddenly saw that all the bullet comments in the live broadcast room had disappeared. Then, rows of words appeared. It was the article that Kong Yingda had just read. Seeing this, Xiao Tian quickly changed his words,"I think Mister Kong is going to lose again."”
Then, Xiao Tian read the words that Teemo had sent to the screen. It had to be said that Teemo was very attentive. He was afraid that Xiao Tian would mispronounce some of the polyphone words, so he even marked the pronunciation.
"Good, every word is right! Xiao Tian, it's your turn." Empress Zhangsun had studied this article before, so she naturally had the qualifications to judge.
"I haven't read many books, so let's do the 'Three Character Classic' that I wrote when I was bored in an hour!”Xiao Tian, who had shamelessly plagiarized another book, began to recite the Three Character Classic."Humans are born good…"
Kong Yingda, who had not paid much attention at the beginning, did not think that Xiao Tian could stump him. There were very few pre-Qin classics that he had not read before. Just like how Xiao Tian had proposed to compete in mathematics, he believed that he would definitely win if he competed in memorization.
However, he did not expect that Xiao Tian would not recite a book, but an essay that he had written himself. Thus, he didn't dare to be careless and quickly memorized it. Needless to say, this article was easy to read and it wasn't difficult to remember.
However, while she was memorizing it, Kong Yingda couldn't help but try to figure out the meaning of the article. It didn't matter if he tried to figure it out. The more he tried to figure it out, the more he felt that this Three Character Classic was extraordinary.
Using historical allusions to educate others on the truth of life. It was not comparable to the Analects of Confucius and the Spring and Autumn Annals, but it was easy to understand.
