Chapter 103: The Competition Begins and Comes Back
I'm on a business trip. I coded a chapter and uploaded it while I was away. I'll continue it when I get back in the evening.

After the accident in the kitchen, the relationship between Xie Xin and Guo became very delicate.
When two people are walking face to face, they will lower their heads slightly, not daring to face each other. But after passing by, they will inadvertently turn around, face each other, and then smile slightly at each other.
More often than not, Xie Xin would not go out of his way to find Guo, and Guo would not go out of his way to find Xie Xin. The two seemed to intend to treat what happened that day as if nothing had happened.
But they actually know what will happen in the end.
Let’s not talk about their emotional entanglement, let’s say that as time goes by, the school anniversary competition begins.
After receiving the invitation with a letter of thanks, everyone from the Huang Family School and Xiaoyi Private School happily attended the appointment. Under Xie Kui's instigation, seven or eight students also came to the Xie Family School. As for the further away clan schools, except for the Yang Family School
The students didn't learn anything, so other students also sent students to compete.
Originally, this kind of internal competition within the school did not allow other schools to participate. However, there were only about forty students in the Huaxia Private School. If the competition were held like this, it would be over in less than half a day.
, naturally there is nothing to see.
In fact, by inviting students from other schools to participate, we can also communicate and promote each other, so that students can compare with others, know their own strengths, and understand their own shortcomings, so that they can continue to carry forward the good things and correct the bad things in time in the future.
.
As for this competition, due to the increase in the number of people, the competition that was originally expected to be completed in one day had to be completed in five days.
Otherwise, just after finishing the race, I would go to lift weights again, and finally have to participate in poetry, painting and other competitions. It would be strange to be able to calm down and compete in the end.
However, what Xie Xin expected was that very few students from our school participated in poetry. Presumably, he had never taught them, so the only ones who could participate in this competition were Mao Jie, Lou Gui and Xie Yi.
.
What made Xie Xin even more speechless was that not many students from the literature department participated in the competition, but for the five competitions from the martial arts department, students from the Huaxia Private School all signed up.
Come to think of it, the Chinese private schools, which originally focused on culture and studied both civil and martial arts, have now begun to slowly develop into military schools with martial arts as the main body.
No matter what, the competition started under the spotlight.
Huang Zhong became the judge of the martial arts department, and the judge of the literature department invited Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie through him to serve as a special judge.
Seeing these two figures who were in charge of the military and political lifeline of Nanyang County appear, the private schools on the left and right felt a lot more relieved.
After all, this is someone else's home field. If Xie Xin serves as a judge and deliberately favors his own students, then this competition will lose its fairness.
In fact, it was precisely because other private schools were worried that Xie Xin would turn this competition into a show-off contest for the Chinese private school to show off to the outside world, so they didn't really want to serve as a 'foil'.
The reason why I came here was, on the one hand, I was curious about this novel competition and wanted to imitate it in the future; on the other hand, I came because of Xie Xin’s identity and Huang Zhong behind Xie Xin.
As Qin Taishou came on stage to give a speech, Xie Xin also officially announced that the competition had officially begun.
The first day was mainly about poetry, painting and music.
For the poetry category, just like the Huaxia Private School, only a few other private schools participated in this category. The number of participants was only about ten or so.
After the competition started, the contestants read out their works to each other. The format was neat for the time being, but the content did not have much artistic conception.
In the end, it was all done hastily. Mao Jie won the first place, Li Fa from Lijiacun won the second place, and Xie Wo from Xiejia Village won the third place.
The three contestants stepped onto the podium in accordance with the rules, and then Qin Jie, Huang Zhong and Xie Xin awarded medals to the three of them respectively.
The first place is naturally the gold medal, then the silver medal, and finally the bronze medal. The cost of building these was fully paid by Huaxia Private School. This is also because Xie Xin has a rich net worth and can support it.
Those who win the gold medal will naturally attract much attention, because for these villagers, not to mention its commemorative value, if this gold medal is sold, it will be enough for them to spend two years.
The second and third competitions did not have many participants, with a total of more than thirty people, slightly more than the first competition.
But after the game, there was some trouble.
The source of this trouble is actually that the teaching style of Chinese private schools is not very similar to the general teaching style of the Han Dynasty, so the habits of painting and music are also very different.
For example, in painting, in the Han Dynasty, in order to highlight the new atmosphere of the new dynasty, the Qin Dynasty had a realistic painting style, and the Han Dynasty created the freehand painting style;
The contestants from about a dozen villages all studied the freehand style. Xie Xin had learned almost nothing else except charcoal drawing before, so it was natural that he taught the students the realist style.
So when the work was submitted, Lou Gui rarely won the first place by using the freehand school, but Zhang Lei from Xiaoyi Private School and Xie Yi from Huaxia Private School, one used the freehand school and the other used the realist school.
Zhang Lei's works are full of artistic conception, but lack some sense of beauty; Xie Yi's works are realistic and vivid, but lack some artistic conception.
So, who can be ranked second is really annoying.
Qin Jie's choice was Zhang Lei, but Xie Xin's choice was Xie Yi. In the end, Huang Zhong looked left and right, decided to choose Xie Yi, and even argued with Qin Jie for a long time.
In the end, Xie Yi won the second place, and Zhang Lei had no choice but to take the third place.
Zhang Lei was not dissatisfied with this, because in terms of painting skills alone, he was indeed no match for Xie Yi. Moreover, he was also very interested in this realistic style and wanted to find an opportunity to ask Xie Yi for advice.
There was also something wrong with the music in the third competition.
After all, what Xie Xin teaches is "Doremi Fa Suo Si Duo", and the commonly used ones here are "Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu". In addition, the students of Huaxia Private School are still early in learning music, so they only
Can play some simple passages.
It's just surprising that these passages have received good reviews because of their pleasant sound. But after all, they are just passages, so everyone is considering whether they can get a ranking.
In the end, Mao Jie won the second place, and the first and third places were taken away by other private schools.
Mao Jie was able to win second place because he had learned some simple music scores at home and at Yingchuan Academy.
The three competitions ended here. Although there seemed to be not many people, it actually took a lot of time. After all the competition, it was already around four o'clock in the afternoon. It was impossible to add other competitions.
So, with the announcement of Xie Xin, the first day of competition was a complete success.
Next, of course, the Huaxia Private School will hold a banquet and invite everyone to enjoy it.
After a day of competition, the relationship between the various private schools has become much closer. There was talk and laughter at the banquet, and fights with each other also happened from time to time.
"My dear brother, this competition is not bad! It would be nice if I could hold a competition like this someday and let the whole Nanyang County people participate!" Qin Jie said to the thank you letter with a smile at the banquet.
"That's not bad. Maybe we can find a good talent in the competition!" Huang Zhong agreed.
"This little brother naturally agrees, but we must consider the transportation problems from various places to Nanyang, as well as the food and accommodation of the participants. After some calculations, if there is no support from the national treasury, I am afraid it will cost a lot!" Xie Xin suggested lightly!
.
"That's true..." Qin Jie shook his head helplessly after hearing this.
Although Nanyang County is not a big one, the cost of holding a competition is probably not a small amount. Although he has a little wealth, after calculation, it is probably not enough to cover the cost of a competition.
After clinking glasses, everyone went to the temporary residence arranged by Xie Xin and had a good rest.
The next day, the three major competitions of calligraphy, debate, and archery began.
There's nothing much to say about calligraphy. It's either official script or regular script. It just depends on the artistic conception and appearance of the calligraphy.
In the end, Li Feng (who was seconded) from Xiaoyi Private School won the first place, Lou Gui won the second place, and Mao Jie won the third place.
All three medals were won by people from the Huaxia Private School, and the others were naturally unconvinced. But their calligraphy was really good, so everyone had to admit defeat.
When I interviewed them afterwards and asked why they had such good results, they answered with tears: "The teacher is unkind and wants to be lazy, so the students will naturally be forced to copy the textbooks. After a year of hard copying, even a person with ugly handwriting can still write
Good calligraphy!"
In response to this comment, Xie Xin looked away and said that he didn't know anything.
As for the subsequent debate competition, Qin Jie personally proposed the topic, focusing on how to improve local people's livelihood.
This topic was a bit unfamiliar, but the contestants still expressed their opinions.
After a debate, Mao Jie won the first place, Gongsun Du won the second place, and Zhang Lei won the third place.
After spending a whole morning, we finally completed the first two competitions. After Xie Xin announced the intermission, we continued the archery competition in the afternoon.
During the lunch break, everyone just wanted to go to the cafeteria to have a meal and then have a good rest.
Xie Xin himself received the first love lunch box in his life.
Although, this bento has four portions...
Bian Linglong, Wang Rong, Gongsun Ying and Guo actually all prepared lunch boxes for Xie Xin.
In this regard, Xie Xin could only accept the lunch box helplessly, and then obediently ate these delicacies, semi-finished products, and unknown items in front of them.
Well, Wang Rong and Gongsun Ying may be proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but they seem to be bad at cooking...
Is it really as the law says: A woman with big breasts and a good mind must be bad at cooking?!
Seeing that Xie Xin had finished eating his work, the three women began to surround Guo and discuss the unknown things. Xie Xin also found a toilet and emptied out the stuff with unknown ingredients.
In the afternoon archery competition, Huang Shang and Huang Cheng from Huangjia Village won first and second place, while the third place was won by Ji Ling.
Naturally, everyone has nothing to say about this, because the gap between the two sides is really too big.
"My dear nephew...is this private school of yours mainly for training generals for the Han Dynasty?" After the game, Xie Xin's third uncle Xie Kui asked in a low voice.
Asked about this, Xie Xin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
