Entertaining Children

"The next few questions are reverse thinking questions. Each question will have three options. Please prepare for the next question." Liao Qing finished the short break and continued the competition.

The cultural program of the Poetry Conference does not rely on gossip news to attract attention. Gossip will only lower the level of the program and make the audience disgusted. Tu Yiyuan won both the championship and the first place in the college entrance examination, which is a good image that this program is not easy to erect. Liao Qing doesn't want Tu Yiyuan and Xiao Yao to be involved in scandals. Although the host is a cultural program, the host Liao Qing is also a member of the entertainment industry. She still remembers how Xiao Yao's fake scandal went viral on the Internet a few months ago and how it ended.

"Which of the following verses is not about Li Bai?" Liao Qing continued to read along with the title that appeared on the big screen, "a. Everyone in the world wants to kill, and I only pity talents. b. Get drunk again..."

"Crack!" The light of the answering machine came on.

Liao Qing glanced at the indicator light of the answering machine in front of the two of them, and said, "Xiao Yao!"

"I'll choose b, get drunk again, and sing wildly in front of five willows." Xiao Yao completed the second sentence, "This sentence was written by Wang Wei. Think of myself as Tao Yuanming."

Before Liao Qing announced whether Xiao Yao's answer was correct or not, there were already several rounds of applause in the commentary booth. This time, Yuan Meng, the commenting teacher who spoke less, said, "Not only did he complete this sentence directly, but he also explained it in detail. I think Xiao Yao is firing on all cylinders and starting to put pressure on his opponent."

"Teacher Yuan has already made a judgment for Xiao Yao," Liao Qing said with a smile, "Then let's finish reading the question first, and then officially announce whether Xiao Yao's answer to this question is correct or not. b. Drunk, singing wildly in front of the five willows. c. The emperor can't get on the boat, calling himself a minister of wine."

When the third sentence of the very famous "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" came out, the audience also burst into applause.

"Xiao Yao's answer is correct." Liao Qing announced amidst applause from the audience, "Now the score is four to three, as long as Xiao Yao answers one more question correctly, he can become our champion. Come on, Yiyuan!"

After Liao Qing finished speaking, the audience gave Tu Yiyuan another burst of encouraging applause, and the audience also shouted "Come on, Yiyuan".

"The eighth question, two contestants, please prepare." Liao Qing waited for the audience's shouts to fall before he began to read the question, "Which one of the following sentences related to fishing was not written by a Tang Dynasty poet? a. The painter did not Knowing the hardships of fishermen, it is good to make a picture of fishing in the cold river. b. Green Ruo hat, green coir raincoat, no need to return in the slanting wind and drizzle..."

"Crack!" Xiao Yao's shoulders moved slightly when he heard this, and Tu Yiyuan, who had been paying attention to Xiao Yao, pressed the answering device reflexively.

"Yiyuan!" Liao Qing called directly by name.

Xiao Yao saw that Tu Yiyuan had already grabbed the right to answer the question, so he simply raised his hand and scratched his suddenly itchy right shoulder.

Seeing Xiao Yao's movements, Tu Yiyuan squeezed her hands together, and whispered to herself with some remorse: "Hands are fast!"

"Yiyuan?" Liao Qing reminded. There is also a time limit for answering questions.

"c!" Tu Yiyuan gritted her teeth and said.

"What?" Xiao Yao exclaimed in surprise.

"Oh, no, choose a, I choose a." Tu Yiyuan quickly changed her words.

"Please confirm your answer." Liao Qing had to confirm.

"A. I'm sure." Tu Yiyuan said affirmatively.

"This time, we also read all the questions first before announcing whether Tu Yiyuan's answer is correct or not." Liao Qing said, "c. The lonely boat and hat man, fishing for snow in the cold river alone."

"Yes!" After Liao Qing finished reading, Tu Yiyuan squeezed her fist and called softly.

"It seems that Yiyuan is very confident in her answer." Liao Qing, who noticed Tu Yiyuan's excited little movements, said with a smile, "The answer is correct, the correct answer is a, Yiyuan will get another point, and the two sides are now playing four to four It's a tie. Now there is only one last question left to decide the winner, and the atmosphere is very tense."

"It's rare to see Tu Yiyuan's excited expression and movements, which shows that she is also very nervous now." Chen Qun said with a smile.

"I noticed a few small details just now," Xu Man said, "I found that Tu Yiyuan had been paying attention to Xiao Yao during the process of answering this question. Then I saw Xiao Yao's shoulder move, and Tu Yiyuan grabbed it. As a result, Xiao Yao raised his hand to scratch his shoulder, and Tu Yiyuan regretted that she was quick. It seems that Tu Yiyuan was not fully prepared, and she was influenced by Xiao Yao. I felt that Xiao Yao's move The little movement of the shoulder was intentional, just to lure Tu Yiyuan to snatch it, he is cheating again."

"Wow~" After being called by Xu Man, the audience thought about it for a while, and it seemed that this was really the case, and they couldn't help but let out another exclamation.

"Teacher, am I that bad?" Xiao Yao rubbed his nose and smiled wryly.

"For the competition, apart from simply testing the amount of poetry and knowledge, the player's own reaction speed and psychological quality are also decisive factors. This is a normal psychological tactic, there is nothing to blame, and this kind of behavior can't be called bad." Xu Man posed He waved his hands and said, "And your performance later made me wonder if you were misleading on purpose."

"What performance?" Chen Qun and other teachers asked curiously.

"It was when Tu Yiyuan first said that the answer was a, Xiao Yao made a very surprised expression." Xu Man laughed, "Although it is the first time for him to participate in our program, we actually don't care about him. Unfamiliar. He has been called a monster since he was a child because of his precocious maturity. He has appeared on various stages including Oscars, and participated in many TV shows. , he is far ahead of his peers, and everyone can see his performance on the show. But like him, would he be so surprised because Tu Yiyuan answered wrongly? Even if he did, he would not be able to control himself to be so obvious Did he show it? So I suspected that he was deliberately reminding Tu Yiyuan that she gave the wrong answer."

"We've been doing the show together for so long, and it's the first time I've noticed that Mr. Xu, you observe so carefully and think so much." Chen Qun gave a thumbs up and said, "Or you're still a woman who is careful."

"I'm really an interesting thing." Liao Qing also smiled, "Then let me ask the two parties."

"Regarding my performance, Mr. Xu is right." Tu Yiyuan admitted generously, "When I pressed the answering machine, it was indeed because I saw the small movements of Xiao Yao's shoulders. I think he has already scored four points anyway. One point wins, I have nothing to lose, I have to fight. So as soon as I saw him make a move, I rushed to grab it. However, I am about 70% sure about this question. I would choose c. But when I saw him scratching it, I thought he was deliberately tricking me, and then I panicked, my mind was a little confused, and I didn’t know why I said c. Later I did hear him say "what" in surprise. At that time, I was also a little surprised why he was so surprised. Then I woke up suddenly and found that I had said c by mistake, so I quickly corrected it. I am also curious now Did he do it on purpose?"

"Oh~" When the audience heard what Tu Yiyuan said, they all excitedly said "Oh".

"Then let me ask Xiao Yao." Liao Qing looked at Xiao Yao and said, "Did you do it on purpose or unintentionally? Or did you do it on purpose in the front and unintentionally in the back, or vice versa? Yes, the latter was intentional?"

"I..." Xiao Yao smiled, and gave a thumbs up to Xu Man in the comment booth, "I think Teacher Xu Man is too powerful, with keen observation and strong reasoning ability, I can definitely write about detectives. Mystery novels will definitely be wonderful."

"You just arranged for Tu Yiyuan to be a model, and you also want to arrange for me to be a writer? Write it and you will help me publish it?" Xu Man smiled and nodded Xiao Yao, "Don't change the topic, avoid questions, you haven't answered Liao What about Qing?"

"Well, it's meaningless if you explain it too clearly." Xiao Yao blinked and said, "Anyway, Teacher Xu Man just said that my psychological maturity is far superior to that of my peers. I don't necessarily believe everyone when I say it? Leave it to everyone. A little suspense, guess for yourself, what do you think is what it is."

"This guy is fun!" Chen Qun also smiled and nodded to Xiao Yao on the stage, "It's more interesting than Tu Yiyuan."

"Thank you teacher for your compliment." Xiao Yao put the palm of his left hand on his right chest, and made a naughty English gentleman's salute.

"Okay, the two of you should have relaxed a lot now. Now you have to get nervous and start answering the last question immediately." Liao Qing caught up with the rhythm of the scene and said, "The last question, you two, get ready."

"Today is the number one scholar special, so this last question is also related to the number one scholar." Liao Qing said with a smile before he began to read, "Please choose the following sentences that were not written by the ancient number one scholar. a. On the sea The bright moon is born, and the world is at this time. b. The spring breeze greens the south bank of the river, when will the bright moon shine on me. c. Only the virtue of literature and the merit of martial arts."

"Crack!" This time, the two pressed the answering device almost at the same time, and the lights in front of their desks sounded almost at the same time.

Liao Qing waited for a while until the indicator light in front of Xiao Yao went off, then turned to Tu Yiyuan and said, "Tu Yiyuan still snatched it."

"I choose c." Tu Yiyuan replied.

"Since Xiao Yao also snatched it, let me ask your answer first." Liao Qing looked at Xiao Yao again and said.

"I choose b." Xiao Yao said.

"Oh, the answers of the two are not the same, so that's interesting." Liao Qing looked at the comment booth and said, "Which teacher will help us answer it?"

"I think it's better for them to talk about it themselves." Lu Xiyuan said, "Let them talk about the reasons for their choice first."

"Ladies first, Tu Yiyuan comes first." Liao Qing said.

"The first sentence is Zhang Jiuling's "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan", the second sentence is Wang Anshi's "Moving Boat Guazhou", and the third sentence... I have never heard of it." Tu Yiyuan said, "I know that Zhang Jiuling was a prime minister. Wang Anshi presided over the reform and also served as a prime minister. Both of them are writers and politicians. As for the third sentence, I think it is worse than the first two sentences in terms of the literary grace of the poem, so I chose c gone."

After Tu Yiyuan finished speaking, there was a burst of applause at the scene, obviously agreeing with her statement. Only a few teachers in the comment booth did not express anything.

"Where's Xiao Yao? Tell me why you chose." Liao Qing said to Xiao Yao again.

"I agree with what Tu Yiyuan said..." Xiao Yao smiled.

"Huh?" There was a sound of surprise at the scene.

"Is this admitting defeat?" Some viewers thought.

But before the audience clamored, Xiao Yao continued, "I also feel that the third sentence is indeed worse in terms of literary talent than the first two. But that's because the author of the third sentence is not a writer, but He was a military strategist, Guo Ziyi, a famous general in the Tang Dynasty. He was indeed the No. 1 scholar, but he was not the No. 1 scholar in literature, but the No. He, none of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties was born as a champion, so I choose b, this poem by Wang Anshi."

"Ah?" Tu Yiyuan and the audience were a little dumbfounded, and the teachers in the commentary booth and the host Liao Qing who knew the correct answer all smiled and shook their heads with a "really so" expression.

Seeing the expressions of the teachers and the host, Tu Yiyuan knew that Xiao Yao obviously did not make up those words. Sighing slightly, Tu Yiyuan calmed down, looked at Xiao Yao with a relaxed expression and smiled, and said, "Should I say a word at this time: "The little girl is willing to bow down"?"

"Where," Xiao Yao waved his hands with a modest smile, "this is also because the teacher's topic is too biased. There are only two four-character poems by Guo Ziyi included in "Quan Tang Poetry", and Guo Ziyi's poems are really good. It's too biased. I'm a boy and I practice martial arts, so I know the poems of this martial arts champion, which can be regarded as taking advantage of it."

"However, this still shows that there are blind spots in my knowledge of poetry, and I am very convinced that I lost." Tu Yiyuan shook her head slightly and said, "I think the reason why the teacher who proposed the question came up with this question is probably to remind us that the number one scholar is not only There are also champions in literature and martial arts. They tell us that not only knowledge is important, but the body is also important. When reading poems to enrich our knowledge, we should not forget to exercise and strengthen our bodies. We should be like you, Yunwen Yunwu."

"That's really good." Xu Man applauded.

"I think someone like Xiao Yao, if he travels back to the ancient times, he must be a character of the type of "get on the horse and beat the madman, get off the horse and draft the army book"." Tu Yiyuan said again.

"My buddy has already traveled to this parallel world, and then travel back to the ancient times?" Xiao Yao sweated a lot, and then Tu Yiyuan said, "With my temperament, if I travel back to the ancient times, what I want to do more is People like Li Bai, "the emperor can't get on the boat, and he claims to be a minister of wine"."

"Except for poetry is wine," Chen Qun said to Xiao Yao with a smile, "To put it bluntly, you just want to play."

"These two chatted very well," Liao Qing said with a smile, "These two have completely relaxed, and it seems that they know the result in their hearts. But I still want to make an official announcement. Xiao Yao's The answer is correct. That is to say, Xiao Yao defeated Tu Yiyuan with a score of 5 to 4 and became the champion of our No. 1 Scholar in this Poetry Conference."

"Congratulations to Xiao Yao! At the same time, we also want to thank Tu Yiyuan for her wonderful performance. It was the joint efforts of the two of them that presented us with such a wonderful duel." Liao Qing applauded first as he spoke.

The four teachers in the comment booth and the audience also stood up one after another and gave their applause to the champion and runner-up on the stage.
