"Oh?"

Even though Wang Jun's face had little fluctuation when he was facing others, he still showed a look of surprise.

According to his observation for more than half a month, Sima Yue will be more serious when taking his classes, and other classes are basically mixed, especially the arithmetic class, which is basically sleeping on the desk.

But now she said that she wanted to challenge the arithmetic master?

It's not that she's overconfident in herself, so arrogant, that is, she doesn't know how many pounds and taels she has.

But since she said that she wanted to challenge, it would be good to frustrate her spirit, so that at least she would be more serious in her arithmetic class in the future.

So next, Wang Jun personally went into battle to solve the problem.

The challenge ceremony was officially scheduled for the afternoon.

Sima Yue's bold words that he was going to challenge the arithmetic master had long since flown all over the Royal Academy, and even flew to the imperial court.

So in the afternoon of the same day, the original equestrian archery and juju classes were specially stopped, and they were specially set aside as Sima Yue's challenge time.

And after all, this was a sensational news for the whole college, so for a while, the students of the whole college came to watch, and even the masters all came to watch, and even the former general Zhao De, who had always ignored things and left immediately after teaching the course, came over.

The number of people was overwhelming, and the house couldn't sit down, so finally the challenge venue was moved to the open space outside the house.

Fortunately, although it is midwinter now, the sky is very beautiful today, not to mention the blue clouds and white, and the sun is very warm, and I feel lazy after a while.

All the students below were boiling. First, although they had all heard that students could challenge the Master, most of them had never seen such a scene, and secondly, because they didn't have to go to class this afternoon.

So there was a constant buzz at the bottom, and some people with very brains were still selling melon seeds and peanut tea.

Most of the students in the Royal Academy are children of powerful families, and they naturally don't lack a little pocket money in their pockets, so they are also very bold in their shots. So the student who peddled the idea made a lot of money in a short time.

And some other students made a village in private, betting on whether the arithmetic master would win or Sima Yue would win.

After all, Sima Yue's reputation as a fool has long spread all over the capital, and since the establishment of the Royal Academy, although I have heard of students challenging the master, it has always ended in failure, so it is natural that everyone basically bets on the arithmetic master to win, Sima Yue loses, and the odds are getting higher and higher, and in the end, it was fried to a hundred.

Sima Xuan was not happy.

How can you say that Sima Yue is also his sister, who supports her if he doesn't support her at the critical moment of being a brother?

So Sima Xuan arrogantly took a silver ticket of fifty taels and went down.

"I'll buy Sima Yue to win."

A student smiled and said: "Sima Xuan, we know that you love Sima Yue's sister, but no matter how much you love it, you can't waste money." ”

Sima Xuan said arrogantly: "I don't have anything else for this king, but I have silver." Besides, who said my sister would definitely lose? If she wins, you will have to give me five thousand taels of silver. Five thousand taels of silver, are they all ready? If you can't, go to the pawnshop and get your pants off, haha. ”

Ning Kang was beside him at this time, saying, "Yes." Who said that Sima Yue would definitely lose? I'm betting on her to win, too. ”

So he took out a piece of silver.

When Sima Xuan saw it, he kicked it directly first.

"Fuck off! If you take a tael of silver and come out, you will be embarrassed, so you might as well not take it. ”

Ning Kang smiled, dodged his flirtatious legs, and didn't say anything more.

Obviously, the reason why he bet on Sima Yue to win with these two pieces of silver was not because he really believed that Sima Yue would win, but just to use this matter to get close to her in the future.

And just then, a man came over from the crowd and stood still in front of them, casting a gloomy shadow.

Everyone looked up and saw that the man was dressed in black and ink, and his face was grim, it was Cui Hu who had never dealt with them.

All:

So what does Cui Hu want to do here? Could it be that they want to reprimand them for not allowing public gambling in the academy?

Everyone was thinking about the purpose of this Cui Hu in their hearts, so they suddenly took out a silver ticket from his sleeve and threw it over.

The classmate who threw the silver ticket took the silver ticket and looked at it, and then the whole person showed a (⊙o⊙) expression.

it! It turned out to be a hundred taels. That's too fucking generous, isn't it?

"Sima Yue wins."

After Cui Hu shook off the silver ticket, he said these four words coldly, and then turned around and left.

This silver ticket was passed on by everyone present and read it once, and finally fell into the hands of Sima Xuan.

So Sima Xuan looked at Cui Hu's back, and his gaze was so meaningful for a while.

Ning Kang bit his fingers and looked at the denomination of the silver ticket on the side, and finally asked, "Cui Hu, what does this mean?" ”

casually stuffed the silver ticket into Ning Kang's hand, and the expression on Sima Xuan's face also cooled a little: "I don't know." Maybe it's just that he has more money and no land to spend. ”

Ning Kang wanted to say something more, but he only heard the sound of a gong, and the challenge time officially began.

So he looked up at the small clearing in front of him.

There, Sima Yue was sitting cross-legged on a straw mat.

There were too many people, and everyone brought chairs out to sit for fear that it would be messy, and finally unanimously agreed to bring a straw mat to sit out.

Directly opposite Sima Yue sat cross-legged Wang Jun, and next to him sat the arithmetic master and Zhongshu Ling.

The Zhongshu Order was specially sent by Emperor Qinglong and Empress Dowager Li, one was to observe, and the other was to be fair.

Originally, according to Empress Dowager Li's intentions, she hated to come by herself, but in the end, she was persuaded by Emperor Qinglong to go back, saying that it was easy to increase the pressure on Sima Yue.

And Sima Yue's current pressure is indeed relatively large.

She originally thought it was just a challenge, at most she was answering the questions calculated by the arithmetic master in front of the whole class, but who would have thought that it would be such a sensation in the end.

Not only did the teachers and students of the whole school come, but they also worked on a middle school order and sat on the side.

And now Wang Jun is sitting opposite her, looking at her with a meaningful gaze from time to time, and he really feels a lot of pressure.

Sima Yue felt that if she continued to be so nervous, she would most likely be slapped in the face in front of the teachers and students of the whole academy, and from then on, her reputation would not only be a fool, but she might have to add an arrogance and ignorance.

Well, an arrogant and ignorant fool, this reputation feels sour no matter how you think about it.

So she was busy comforting herself, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, you can do it, you will do it!

Yes, I've experienced the college entrance examination, and I'm still afraid of a ball! It's a big deal to lose face if you can't answer, at most, it's a big shame this time. But she's thick-skinned anyway, so it doesn't matter.

Sima Yue secretly cheered himself up, and finally sat up straight, and met Wang Jun's gaze without fear.

Wang Jun's gaze swept over the masters and students who were looking at each other, as well as the Zhongshu Ling who was sitting next to him.

Originally, he just wanted to control Sima Yue's challenge within a small range, but he didn't want to end up but he didn't know who was fast-talking, but after a while, everyone was already shouting, and even alarmed Emperor Qinglong and Empress Dowager Li, and specially sent Zhongshu Ling to come over to listen.

He frowned slightly, this matter is so big, if Sima Yue fails to challenge later, then she will inevitably become the laughing stock of the whole capital, how should she deal with herself then?

If he had known this, he shouldn't have made the topic so difficult just now.

Zhongshu Ling owed a debt on the straw mat at this time, bowed respectfully to Wang Jun, and asked with a smile: "Dean Wang, can the challenge start now?" ”

Although Wang Jun is now a white body, he does not have an official position. But his fame shocked Jinghua, and Emperor Qinglong specially invited him to come out as the dean of the Royal Academy in Taiyuan, and he was the patriarch of the Taiyuan Wang family, so although Zhongshuling was an official to the second grade, he was still very polite to Wang Jun between words and deeds.

Wang Jun didn't answer, but asked Sima Yue in a deep voice: "Are you ready?" ”

Sima Yue nodded, looking very calm on his face: "Yes, I'm ready." ”

Wang Jun glanced at her deeply, then took out the exam questions from his sleeve and handed them to the arithmetic master sitting next to him, and then motioned to Chengying, who was standing on the side, to send paper and pens, as well as an abacus, and a few abacus chips and put them in front of Sima Yue.

But Sima Yue opened his mouth and said to Wang Jun, the arithmetic master, and the Zhongshu Ling, who was sitting at the top: "I only need a piece of paper, and I don't need an abacus, a brush, or an abacus. ”

At this moment, everyone present changed color and made an uproar.

If this Sima Yue is not really super bullish, he doesn't know how to write the four words "sky and earth".

And what Sima Yue thought in his heart was, damn it, since this matter has already made such a big fuss, then he doesn't mind making a big fuss.

She took out two pieces of finely sliced charcoal from the schoolbag she was carrying, held them up and motioned to the three people sitting in front of her: "I'll use this charcoal pen." ”

She had been preparing for this challenge for several days.

She thinks that mental arithmetic is okay, so she doesn't need other props for general questions at all. And the key thing is that she can't use the abacus at all, and it's too troublesome to use the abacus. For other slightly more complex topics, pen and paper are sufficient. It's just that she thinks that the front end of the brush is soft bristles, and the problem is too slow, so after pondering for a few days, she found charcoal and sharpened two charcoal pencils.

Although this charcoal pencil is not as good as a modern pencil, it is actually not far behind.

After preparing this qiē, she raised her head and showed an inevitable smile to Wang Jun's heavy gaze: "Let's start." ”
