Chapter 67 Chapter 67 During the Game
As he spoke, he realized that he had recited "Joy with the world, worry with the world" in reverse order.
Such a mistake made Han Junbo, who was known as a child prodigy at a very young age, extremely upset.
Host Mr. Li Fangyu: "An Rui."
An Rui didn't listen to Han Junbo's endorsement at all. He was making funny faces with Liu Boxing and Chen Shaoxuan, who also registered but was eliminated in the second round.
After Li Fangyu called out the name, he saw that the person was still standing there without moving, so he called out again: "An Rui, it's your turn to recite."
When An Rui heard this, he quickly restrained his expression and began to recite "Mencius".
An Rui carried Mencius on his back, shocking all the friends around him.
"He never gets stuck when reciting. Even if he has recited before, it is impossible for him to recite it so smoothly now."
"This really doesn't give us scholars any face!" The all-rounder: "Look at how proud he is after reciting it. I feel like he's itching to do it."
After An Rui finished reciting the whole thing in one breath, he raised his head and regarded the sour words from people around him as jealousy of him. Being able to study under his big devil cousin without being afraid of being beaten to death by her ruler, everyone must have some outstanding skills.
At this time, the judges fell into a strange silence.
When the other judges saw the names of the top three, they wanted to put An Rui, a student from Wanhua Academy, at the end, but the facts did not allow them to do so.
What is controversial now are the second and third places.
Han Junbo, who is known as the little prodigy from Hanchen Academy, and Ge Guangyuan from Huating Academy.
Han Junbo recited "I am happy with the world, I am worried about the world" and changed it to "I am worried about the world, I am happy with the world". Although there is only one word difference and the two are reversed, it is undeniable that he recited it wrong.
In theory, there is nothing to be controversial about this. Ge Guangyuan from Huating Academy missed more words and made more mistakes in reciting the text than Han Junbo from Hanchen Academy. He should naturally be ranked third.
However, Chi Changxu, the judge sent by Huating Academy, was unreasonable. He immediately concluded that both of them had made mistakes in reciting the poem and insisted that they compete again to determine the second and third place.
An Xin now knew why Baichuan Academy was not among the academies participating in the competition. It turned out that in order to avoid students saying that the organizers were shady, students from this academy were not allowed to participate in the literary gatherings held in the four major academies every three years.
She sat unhappily aside, watching the judges sent by the two academies with gloomy faces. She had an expression of watching a show, but she didn't want it to be too obvious.
An Xin didn't feel that she was being immoral at all, because she was not the only one who enjoyed watching the fun.
Except for the parties involved, Chi Changxu from Huating Academy and Liang Hongsheng from Hanchen Academy, the other judges all had serious faces, but they could not hide their eyes that were watching the fun.
The two of them looked at An Xin, who was sitting leisurely on the side, and at the same time gritted their teeth and secretly hated him.
How come none of the students she brought made any mistakes in reciting a single word? Otherwise, if both of them worked together, they would have pushed the students of this annoying female headmaster into third place.
The students of their two academies were friendly with each other and were divided into first and second place, so why would they be unwilling to be the last one at this time and get embarrassed?
Gao Shilian from Tiande Academy also looked unhappy. After all, there were students from both of their academies who made it into the top three.
The two students he brought to participate in the competition were eliminated in the previous round, which made it impossible for him to win a place.
Li Fangyu, who was hosting the competition at Baichuan Academy, looked at the two judges who were refusing to give in. His big mouth twitched. Not wanting to waste any more time, he said, "Let's play another round."
In order to save time, Li Fangyu asked his servant to give each of them a copy of The Doctrine of the Mean, which had less than 2,000 words.
And the time given is relatively short, only half an hour.
Not surprisingly, Han Junbo, who had been known as a child prodigy since childhood, won in the end.
Li Fangyu received the list of the top three from Bai Huaqing, the instructor of Leling County, and reported: "The third place is Ge Guangyuan from Huating Academy."
Ji Chang Wook looked at the student he brought with a look of disappointment. He risked his reputation to give him another chance to make a comeback, but in the end he still recited two words wrong.
Ge Guangyuan looked at the teacher's gloomy eyes and lowered his head in shame.
Under normal circumstances he would never make a mistake in reciting the poem, but in this situation, he was nervous and easily made mistakes.
"The second place is Han Junbo from Hanchen Academy."
Han Junbo was obviously very dissatisfied with this ranking. He had been proud since childhood, and he lost to a student who came from some small academy. He couldn't be happy at all.
Seeing An Rui's arrogant expression standing aside, Han Junbo pursed his thin lips and his face became even darker.
But for these gifted and talented students, such setbacks have just begun.
That day, An Rui also took possession of two roasted chicken legs. Being stingy, he even took two chicken wings, and finally avenged himself for being targeted that day.
He ate chicken legs and wings with a proud look on his face, and smacked his lips. In the end, he was almost kicked out of his food by everyone at the table. Only then did he eat his food honestly.
The next day, the competition was on the two arts of a gentleman, namely, zither and chess.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
If students sign up for both events, they can apply to adjust the time so that they can compete in chess after the piano competition.
However, this kind of skill that cultivates sentiments is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and requires a certain amount of financial support to learn. Generally, students from small academies do not know how to do it very often, and even if they do, they are not proficient in it.
Therefore, those who sign up for these programs are generally students from well-off families who have an interest in this area.
So the number of applicants is not too large.
Leng Xiangbai, who signed up for the piano competition, and Zhu Shijing, who signed up for the chess competition, left the court at the same time.
An Xin was numb.
The six judges were divided into two groups and went to the piano room to judge the piano skills.
There are also three judges who go to the chess competition venue to standardize the rules of chess.
Several judges thought that An Xin came from a small place, and it was good enough that she could understand chess. As for judging the quality of piano skills, it would be difficult for this female headmistress who didn't even know herself.
Everyone thought she would choose to be a judge in a chess competition.
But who is An Xin? She is the one with the golden finger. Amid everyone’s surprised gaze, she walked towards the place where the piano competition was held.
Because we didn't want the two competitions to affect each other, the venues were far apart.
With two students competing at the same time, An Xin was a little conflicted, but after careful consideration, she decided to be a judge for the piano competition.
For piano competitions, the winners and losers of chess games are more obvious and not easily influenced by the subjective consciousness of the judges.
She believed that Zhu Shijing had been abused by her on the chessboard for more than two years. If he still couldn't win, the result would be the same whether she was there or not.
When judging whether a piece of music is good or not, the subjective consciousness of the judges is very important. Her family signed up for a piano competition with Xiang Bai.
I'm not a very fair person, so why wouldn't I come here to do something shady?
