My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 15 Genius vs Prodigy
In the blink of an eye, three days have passed. In the past three days, Lin Shuran has lived in the farm at ease, and the little ones are also happy to follow her. Xu Mingsong and Xu Mingsheng also experienced the joy of picking wild fruits in the mountains for the first time.

As for Xu Mingchen and his eight older children, they haven't been idle for the past three days. They are extremely competitive, and they are bound to win against the peasant boys like Dazhu and Erzhu.

However, after three days of probing and secretly observing, they found that Dazhu Erzhu and other children of the servants in the farm had a full schedule every day. 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", and at night they would go hunting with Uncle Wu in the farm.

For some reason, the brothers of the Xu family are somewhat envious of the life of these farm children. Although their daily lives seem to be very hard, their faces are always full of smiles, and they seem to have endless energy. He looks very hard.

Lin Shuran specially invited many people to watch today's game, and even made simple team cards for both teams, one called Xujia team and the other called Tianzhuang team.

After three days of discussion between Xu Mingchen and Dazhu, the content of the competition was roughly divided into literary competition and military competition. As the name suggests, literary competition is a competition of literary talent, while martial competition is a game often played by children to compare fists and strength.

Wenbi’s referees are Mr. Fan Xiucai from Tianzhuang’s private school and Mr. Bai from the Grand General’s mansion. Fan Xiucai was penniless and homeless after his name fell to Sun Shan. He wanted to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff in the southern suburbs, but was persuaded by Lin Shuran who happened to pass by. Later, he came to Tianzhuang to teach, and Mr. Bai was specially invited by Xu Junze to teach. Although he did not become an official, several bachelors in the dynasty were his students.

"What do you compare first?" Lin Shuran asked someone to draw the venue for the competition on the open space, and also asked someone to set up a long table outside the venue. The table was full of fruits and refreshments, and anyone could take it at will. Today, adults like them Just to watch the excitement, she specially set up a chair and sat down.

"Xianwenbi!" Xu Minghao is an active player in the game, and he has the most ghost ideas. When the two teams are fighting, he thinks that the first game is the most important. Only by winning can the opponent's momentum be suppressed. Obviously Xu Mingchen and the others think the same way, "Let's Four brothers come!"

The fourth child, Xu Mingfan, is the best-studied among the brothers of the Xu family. He is also the most promising member of the Xu family in the eyes of Mr. Bai. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a young genius.

"Songlin, come here!" Da Zhu said to a boy who was about the same age as Xu Mingfan behind him, and then an elegant and delicate boy stepped forward. He was Zhang Songlin, the stepson of Zhang Tang's son Yushi, and also Is a house slave.

"As agreed earlier, whoever can memorize the entire "Children's Education" wins!" Xu Minghao gave the Tianzhuang team a proud look. He can't memorize it, but his fourth brother is fine.

"Youth Learning Wen Xun" is an enlightenment book in the Jin Dynasty, and it is also the first book that many people read in their lives. When a master teaches his disciples, the first class is to teach "Youth Learning Wen Xun".

"Young Master, please first!" Zhang Songlin appeared to be polite and modest at such a young age, he was not like the son of a domestic slave, on the contrary he had an air of neither humble nor overbearing.

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

He was originally from a noble family, with a noble and arrogant air, and he was not fake, so he memorized the entire "Xue Xue Wen Xun" word for word.

When he finished reciting, Xu Minghao proudly puffed out his chest, and Mr. Bai beside him nodded in satisfaction. This was not difficult for Xu Mingfan.

Unexpectedly, after Xu Mingfan finished reciting, Zhang Songlin also recited it verbatim, Fan Xiucai also smiled slightly, this student is a hidden child prodigy.

When Zhang Songlin finished reciting, Xu Minghao seemed to have not overwhelmed the opponent, and then said: "My fourth brother can memorize word for word backwards! Fourth brother, you memorize it backwards!"

Xu Mingfan glanced impatiently at the "provoking" Xu Minghao, then at Zhang Songlin who was opposite him, and finally opened his mouth like a mouthful.

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

This stunned all the people watching. These two teenagers are both talented and intelligent, which is really rare.

Mr. Bai and Fan Xiucai glanced at each other. They seemed to understand each other, and asked Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin to recite passages from other articles and books they had learned on the spot. As a result, both of them, who were only nine years old, answered them all correctly.

"It's amazing, it's amazing, it's really a hero born out of youth, it's really unexpected, the old man can see such a scene today, if you two continue to study poetry and books hard, you will become a great weapon in the future, I am lucky for you! "Mr. Bai stood up excitedly. He knew that Xu Jiasilang was smart and eager to learn, but he didn't expect that there were young immortals in this remote country.

Xueba meets Xueba, this competition is even better, Lin Shuran looked at the two teenagers who were evenly matched in memorization, and said with a smile: "To become a master, it is not enough to just memorize, but also to use your brain. How about this, let me pose a problem for you, whoever solves it first will win, how about it?"

Xu Mingfan and Zhang Songlin looked at each other, and both nodded to Lin Shuran, and 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 the two pieces of white paper.

"This picture is a nine-square grid. You can use the nine numbers from one to nine to make the sum of the horizontal and vertical angles equal to fifteen. The first person to be right is the winner!" Lin Shuran handed the two pieces of paper to Xu Mingfan And Zhang Songlin, this is the simplest Sudoku game in modern times, it is very useful to exercise one's thinking.

After the two took it, they looked at the blank nine-square grid and frowned slightly. They had never seen such a novel topic before, but Zhang Songlin had been taught a lot by Lin Shuran in the past three years. His thinking was active and divergent. Obviously, I have more confidence in my heart.

But Xu Mingfan didn't feel timid, on the contrary, he was more excited and excited. Reading and calligraphy were too simple for him. It was no longer challenging, and it didn't arouse his interest in learning. Instead, it was a new thing. His appearance rekindled his fighting spirit.

"The two of them are busy with their own affairs, you can continue the competition!" Lin Shuran sat back in her chair and looked at the players of the two teams with a smile. The talents of learning should not be wasted, and the talents of other talents should not be buried. , she went on to see how many surprises these children would give her.
