For a person who had never read books, listening to the Analects of Confucius and the Spring and Autumn Annals would be like listening to a heavenly book. However, they could roughly understand the content of the Three Character Classic.
As a part-time teacher, Kong Yingda immediately judged that if the Three Character Classic was used to enlighten young people, it would be more useful than the Analects of Confucius.
The other teachers also had strange expressions on their faces.
On the other hand, the princes, princesses, civil officials, and descendants of the nobility did not feel anything special. They only felt that some parts of the Three Character Classic seemed to make sense.
Xiao Tian finished reciting the Three Character Classic to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
Looking at the dazed Kong Yingda, most people, including Xiao Tian himself and Empress Zhangsun, thought that Xiao Tian had won again. Obviously, Kong Yingda was already attracted by the article. How could she spare her mind to memorize this article?
"Hey!" As expected, Kong Yingda sighed. "I didn't expect that little friend could actually write such an exquisite article. This old man is inferior!”
"Teacher Kong, you flatter me. This is all the principles and allusions that I heard from my master when I was young. It was not exquisite, but it was easy to understand.”As the winner, Xiao Tian naturally had to be humble. This was the way to show his grace!
"This match…"
Empress Zhangsun was just about to announce Xiao Tian's victory when Kong Yingda said,""Wait, this round should be a competition of memorization, not writing an essay. Although this old man can't write such an exquisite essay, it doesn't mean that I can't remember the content of the essay.”
Originally, they thought that Kong Yingda was going to admit defeat. In that case, the competition would end here. The excitement that had finally been created would be gone. Everyone was quite regretful! But he didn't expect Kong Yingda to actually suppress it first!
Xiao Tian was glad that he had been humble. If he had really acted as if he had returned victorious, wouldn't he have been slapped in the face by this old man? This old man was indeed sinister! However, Xiao Tian still smiled and made a 'please' gesture.
"Humans are born good…"
Xiao Tian didn't hear anything wrong until the end. At this time, Xiao Tian had no choice but to admit defeat in his heart. He had memorized the Three Character Classic in seconds. At this age, his memory was still so strong!
Without waiting for the others to verify if there were any mistakes, Kong Yingda said,""Since the topic that little friend has come up with is his own essay, then I will also present an essay that I wrote a few days ago!”
Xiao Tian pretended to listen with his eyes closed. In fact, he couldn't understand a single sentence. He really couldn't understand why this old man had to make such a good article so difficult to understand!
The article was not long, only two or three hundred words.
As soon as Kong Yingda finished reading the article, Timo sent the 'handwritten manuscript' over in time.
Kong Yingda had already concluded that Xiao Tian must have seen this article before for him to be able to memorize the admonition written by Prime Minister Li Si to Ying Zheng. In terms of memory, he had never met a match since he was young. Over the past few decades, he had developed a set of methods to quickly memorize articles. Although Xiao Tian's memory was the best at his age, he was also lacking in memory experience.
Seeing that Xiao Tian had not spoken even after he had finished reading the article, Kong Yingda's lips curled into a smile. As expected, he had guessed correctly. If he had continued to read the articles in the ancient books, Xiao Tian might have read them too. However, now that it was his own article, Xiao Tian had no way to deal with it.
"This time, I'm afraid Xiao Tian won't be able to remember it. Teacher Kong's previous essay must have been memorized by Xiao Tian. It seemed that Xiao Tian would definitely lose this match.”Li Ke whispered to the few people beside him.
"It's a pity that Xiao Tian definitely doesn't know that Mister Kong is best at learning and memorizing. Xiao Tian lost to Mister Kong, it's not unfair!"
When Gao Yang heard this, his heart was not feeling good as he retorted,"No way, Xiao Tian will definitely win!”
"Haha, little sister, you're being too concerned. Although I also hope that Xiao Tian can win, it is obvious that this is impossible.”"I tried to recite it just now, but I only remembered less than 70 words!" Li Ke laughed.”
"The Third Prince is indeed powerful. I only remember thirty words!”Someone flattered.
Li Ke smiled contentedly. There were probably less than a hundred people in the Great Tang who could memorize seventy words after hearing it read once.
"Hmph, only seventy words, what's there to be proud of? Xiao Tian would definitely remember Mister Kong's article word for word.”Gao Yang said this but his heart was anxious because Xiao Tian still did not speak up.
Finally, after about 15 minutes, Xiao Tian finally spoke,""Mister Kong's essay is indeed worthy of being a top-notch work. It actually made me indulge in it and unable to extricate myself! I'm sorry to have made everyone wait!" Although he said that, Xiao Tian had already cursed this nonsense in his heart.
Hmm? Something didn't seem right!
Just when everyone thought that Xiao Tian would find a way to admit defeat, the confidence on Xiao Tian's face made many people instantly overturn their previous thoughts. They were all thinking, could it be that Xiao Tian really memorized Kong Yingda's article word for word? Wasn't that a little too monstrous?
"Little friend, you flatter me!" "You seem to have a well-thought-out plan now, don't you, young friend?" Kong Yingda smiled.”
"Fortunately, I didn't fail you!" As Xiao Tian spoke, he began to read according to the book.
When Xiao Tian finished reading, everyone looked at Kong Yingda, because they didn't know if Xiao Tian had really memorized everything.
" Yes," Kong Yingda nodded." Not only is there not a single word wrong, there is no mistake in the sentence!"”
Then, Xiao Tian took out the " Thousand Character Classic " and shocked Kong Yingda once again. However, he did not know if Kong Yingda had taken stimulants, but he was actually able to memorize the " Thousand Character Classic " word for word!
Kong Yingda took out another article of her own. This time, it was a 500-word article. As for Xiao Tian, with Teemo's help, he barely passed.
Once again, it was Xiao Tian's turn to set the questions. Xiao Tian felt that this was not a solution. The old man's memory was too strong. If Timo was careless, he might lose this round. He had to win this round with one strike!
