Entertaining Children

"Please invite our challenger to come on stage!" Du Cheng and Wan Minjia returned to the place where the hosts were standing at the back of the stage, and turned to look at the aisle backstage.

Following the words of the two, the sound of an appearance music sounded again at the scene. Accompanied by the sound of music, a young girl wearing a black floral dress with a white background and white sneakers walked onto the stage slowly.

"Welcome!" Du Cheng and Wan Minjia greeted the girl on the stage together, and extended their hands to her respectively.

"Hello, Brother Cheng, and Sister-in-law Cheng." The girl shook hands with the two hosts, and then waved to the audience, "Hello, everyone, I am Zhang Shuying, and I am the No. 1 student in the 2015 Zhejiang Provincial College Entrance Examination."

"Zhang Shuying, a very charming name." Du Cheng praised with a smile, "You are welcome."

"Thank you, brother Cheng, for your compliment," Zhang Shuying said with a smile, "My grandfather named me. He likes ancient Chinese poems very much, so he gave me such a name."

"Okay, then let me ask the ten contestants at the scene." Du Cheng looked at the ten contestants at the scene and said, "Who can tell me the relationship between her name and ancient Chinese poetry?"

The ten contestants on the stage glanced at each other, and finally Xiao Yao silently raised his hand.

"Speaking of Chinese ancient poetry, we have a contestant who just won the championship in the "Poetry Conference" champion special." Wan Minjia smiled and pointed to Xiao Yao who raised his hand, "Xiao Yao, then Please introduce us."

"Shuying is the name of a Cipai," Xiao Yao introduced with a smile, "it is a Cipai created by Southern Song Dynasty poet Jiang Kui himself. Later, Zhang Yan, the last famous poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, used this tune to sing lotus leaves, and renamed the Ci Pai "Lvyi", but the tune is still based on Jiang Kui's Ci, which is "Shu Ying".

"Wow, you are indeed the champion of the "Poetry Conference". I don't understand what I said." Du Cheng asked, "What does that Zidu song mean?"

"The ancient lyrics were all sung. So in addition to the lyrics, there are also tunes." Xiao Yao said, "Some poets who are proficient in rhythm can not only write lyrics, but also compose new tunes by themselves, which are called Zidu tunes. .”

"Just like you, I wrote the lyrics and composed the songs myself." Du Cheng laughed.

"I don't know about these. Grandpa doesn't seem to have told me that this name is still a Cipai." Zhang Shuying also said.

"Then let me tell you what you might know," Xiao Yao continued,

"In "Chang'an Night Moon" by Du Mu in the Tang Dynasty, there are thin shadows of ancient locust trees, and the sound of celestial osmanthus moving in autumn. In "Xiaomei in the Mountain Garden" by Lin Bu in Song Dynasty, there are also poems about sparse shadows, slanting water, dark fragrance, floating moon and dusk."

"Sparse shadows and slanting water depths, dark fragrance floating in the moon and dusk, this poem is the source of my name," Zhang Shuying praised with a smile, "The champion of "Poetry Conference" is really amazing."

"Oh~" There was a burst of amazed applause from the audience.

"Just read it." Xiao Yao waved his hand embarrassingly. Because he liked an actress surnamed Jiang very much in his previous life, Xiao Yao was also deeply impressed by the lines with the word "Shuying" in his poems. He didn't expect to meet a person named Shuying here, who happened to say his name It came from an ancient poem, and it can be considered that Xiao Yao was lucky and just happened to hit it.

"The number one scholar in liberal arts in 2015 means that you will be a sophomore soon," Du Cheng continued to ask Zhang Shuying, "Then where do you study?"

"Yenjing University." Zhang Shuying replied proudly.

"This is a girl from Yanda University." Du Cheng looked at the contestants at the scene and said, "Today is the special session for champions, and we champions will inevitably be compared by everyone, so we took the opportunity to come Let’s do an on-site investigation. Players who are also Yenching University players please raise your hands. By the way, although the freshmen have not yet entered the school, they should have received the admission letter at this time. They will enter Yenching University in more than a month. University players also count.”

Four people on the field raised their hands.

"Where's from Shuimu University?" Wan Minjia continued to ask.

Five more people on the field raised their hands.

"It seems that the players on the field today are almost rounded up by two schools, Yenching University and Shuimu University." Du Cheng said with a smile, "Five on each side, and half of everyone is alumni. Almost, it's because of us There is a special one standing here, Xiao Yao, what do you think you are doing here?" Du Cheng finally looked at Xiao Yao who hadn't raised his hand twice.

"This is obviously a duel between the two highest-ranked institutions of higher learning in the country," Xiao Yao said with a helpless smile, "I also feel that it is a little awkward for me to stand here alone."

"I think he is the only one standing here who is not Yanda Mizuki to show his specialness." Zhang Shuying said, "In fact, with his status as the number one student in the college entrance examination, both Yanda and Mizuki can make steady progress. But he just went to an art school, what a character."

"Okay, that's all for the introduction," Du Cheng said, "Zhang Shuying, please take your place, our game will begin now."

"Please choose one of the ten defenders as your first opponent." After Zhang Shuying stood in the middle challenge position, Du Cheng then said to her, "Please choose someone!"

"Who should I choose?" Zhang Shuying said to herself, and began to look at the ten players around her.

"Xiao Yao!" Some audience shouted impatiently.

"No!" Zhang Shuying waved to the audience without hesitation.

"Oh? Why?" Wan Minjia asked curiously, "I think you are very interested in Xiao Yao, why didn't you choose him?"

"He is from the acting department of Shenxi Opera, and is called "the most handsome college entrance examination champion in history" by netizens. If I choose him, whether I win or he wins, one of us will fall, then I will I can’t even see him anymore. It’s rare to see a handsome guy with such a good looks, so of course I have to look at him for a while,” Zhang Shuying said with a smile, “so I’m sure I’ll choose him as the last one.”

"Wow, this reason is so powerful!" Wan Minjia said with a smile, "It's really hard to refute."

"So you audience, don't make a fuss," Du Cheng pointed to the audience in the audience, "If someone chooses Xiao Yao and beats Xiao Yao down, you won't even have to watch it."

"I choose No. 3!" Amidst the laughter of the audience, Zhang Shuying also made her own choice. Standing in No. 3, a woman wearing a white shirt and blue suspenders cropped trousers looked very Young girl with short hair.

"Hi everyone, my name is Ji Xiaofan, and I am the No. 1 student in the science college entrance examination in Jibei Province this year." The girl waved her hand.

"Why did you choose her?" Du Cheng asked Zhang Shuying.

"Because I remember that when she raised her hand just now, she said she was a student of Shuimu University." Zhang Shuying said, "Yan University and Shuimu University have always been the most important competitors, and I saw the word Li written on her nameplate, which means She is a science student. It is relatively rare for a girl to win the top score in the college entrance examination of science. I am a liberal arts student at Yanda University, and she is a science student at Mizuki. This kind of confrontation should be very interesting."

"This is the beginning of the confrontation between schools." Du Cheng smiled, "I also think it's more interesting."

"Then I wish you both good luck." Wan Minjia reminded Zhang Shuying, "Zhang Shuying, as a challenger, remember that you have two exemption rights in your hands, and you can play an important role at critical moments. Useful, don't waste it."

"Yes. Thank you Mrs. Cheng for your reminder, I will remember." Zhang Shuying nodded and said.

"Get ready, both of you, and start answering the questions now." Du Cheng announced, and began to read the questions directly, "Which dynasty did the historical and cultural event "Jianzhen's Eastward Crossing" take place?"

"Tang Dynasty!" Zhang Shuying replied immediately.

"May I ask which dynasty's royal power was usurped by the "Wang Mang usurper" in history?" Du Cheng continued to the next question.

"Han Dynasty." Ji Xiaofan also replied quickly.

Du Cheng read the questions very fast, and the two contestants answered the questions quickly, and the field immediately entered a fast-paced answering mode. Since it was a two-person PK, two questions of the same type appeared in succession. The first ones came out were two liberal arts-oriented history questions, followed by two science-oriented biology questions, and then two general life questions.. .The two were also very good at answering questions at the beginning stage, and soon each answered five questions.

But on the eleventh question, a sports question stumped the two contestants at the same time.

"On a football field, the standard goal length is 7.32 meters. What is the height in meters?" Du Cheng read out the eleventh question.

"Two meters? Three meters?" Zhang Shuying frowned, and then guessed two answers. Hearing Du Cheng yelled wrong twice, he decisively yelled "Okay!"

According to the rules, Zhang Shuying, who had used the right to be exempt from answering, gave the other party to answer this question that she did not know.

"2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6..." After a little hesitation, Ji Xiaofan began to read quickly. It's a pity that she has read from 2.1 to 3.5, and she has never heard the correct answer she expected. Seeing that the 20-second answering time was running out, Ji Xiaofan continued to try, "2.11, 2.12, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15...Forget it, I give up, I don't know." Ji Xiaofan Finally, he said slightly out of breath. At this time, there were only two seconds left to answer the question.

When it was time to answer the questions, Du Cheng could only look at Ji Xiaofan with regret and said, "Unfortunately, Ji Xiaofan can only leave our stage with regret."

Ji Xiaofan could only return a wry smile.

"This question stumped our two champions at the same time." Wan Minjia said, "Is there any other contestant on the field who can answer it? I think no matter what kind of problem it is, the eleven champions on the field will always be able to answer it." Someone can answer it."

The players on the field looked at each other, and finally found that Xiao Yao raised his hand again.

"2.44 meters." Xiao Yao replied. He was a football fan in his previous life, and he really knows the length and height of football goals.

"The answer is correct!" Wan Minjia said with a smile.

"Wow~" The audience off the field also applauded Xiao Yao.

"The two players on our field are very smart, and they understand the rules of our program very well." Du Cheng said, "The two of you probably have watched football games, so you should have guessed from the height of the goalkeeper that the height of the goal is about two meters to two meters. It looks like more than three meters, so one person guessed two meters and three meters, and the other directly said from 2.1 to 3.5. Unfortunately, the standard answer is two digits after the decimal point. It takes fifty or so answers to guess, but our answering time is only 20 seconds, which is too difficult. So, we can only say goodbye to Ji Xiaofan regretfully."

After Ji Xiaofan made a parting speech, Du Cheng pressed the button on the remote control in his hand to control the floor at No. 3, and the floor under Ji Xiaofan's feet opened, and Ji Xiaofan disappeared with a whoosh.

"Congratulations to Zhang Shuying for defeating the first opponent, and also for winning the first prize of the day." Du Cheng looked at a small display screen in front of Ji Xiaofan's position, and saw a picture of a refrigerator appearing on it, "One A double-door refrigerator, nice prize, congratulations."

"Next, please go ahead and choose your second opponent." Wan Minjia continued.

"I'll choose No. 5." Zhang Shuying was very decisive this time, as if he had already considered it.

In position 5 is a boy from Yenching University. It seems that Zhang Shuying does not plan to pick students from Shuimu University. The boy's name is Xu Yunfan, and he not only came from the same school as Zhang Shuying, but also was the number one student in the college entrance examination the year before last like Zhang Shuying, and he was also a liberal arts student.

After a brief introduction, the two also started the second round of answering questions.

This time, the answering speed of the two people was still very fast, and together they also answered more than double-digit questions correctly. But this time Zhang Shuying didn't use the right to avoid answering again, and the opponent was already defeated.

"Please state the exact value of the golden ratio to three decimal places." Du Cheng read.

Since the question stem directly stated that it should be accurate to three decimal places, Xu Yunfan, who didn't know the answer, gave up guessing and directly answered that he didn't know.

"Do you know this question?" Wan Minjia asked Zhang Shuying.

"I don't know," Zhang Shuying shook her head, "It seems that my luck is better."

"Anyone on the field answer?" Wan Minjia asked, looking at the other players on the field.

"0.618!" Xiao Yao didn't raise his hand this time, and replied directly. As a photographer proficient in aesthetic composition, the golden ratio is all too familiar to Xiao Yao.

"It's you again?" Wan Minjia looked at Xiao Yao in surprise, "How do you know everything?"

"No way," Xiao Yao shrugged and spread his hands, "Zhang Shuying said he would be the last one before choosing me as an opponent, so I can only use this method to gain a sense of presence. Standing still like this, in this episode of the show, I stand like a sculpture."

"It's so pitiful!" Wan Minjia covered her mouth and smiled.

Hearing Xiao Yao's humorous and funny answer, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.
