Chapter 104: Unexpected
Two lines of words were written on the paper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"A penny of money should be filled in the room, and there should be no omission."
Xu Guangya and Liu Haowen, looking at the title issued by the academy, couldn't help frowning and falling into hard thought.
This is a few words, but it is quite difficult. Sure enough, none of the questions issued by the academy are general. If you are not alert, lively, and good at changing your minds, it will be difficult to pass this trial.
For a penny, the purchase should fill the whole house.
If it's not clever and to the point, this ....... Sounds almost impossible.
And each group only has three chances to answer the question, if you don't answer correctly for three times in a row, you will be eliminated directly and miss the next link.
"Brother Guangya, do you have any good ideas?" Liu Haowen turned his head to look at Xu Guangya.
Xu Guangya has a calm temperament, loves to read on weekdays, and is quite erudite. Therefore, Liu Haowen first had some hope for Xu Guangya.
"Howen, I ......." Xu Guangya shook his head and smiled bitterly, and asked, "I don't know what you think?" ”
Liu Haowen also sighed and said, "I think, it's better to buy some dry straw or something, although it can't fill the whole room, but you can always fill the ground." ”
Xu Guangya shook his head with a smile: "This matter will naturally not be so simple. ”
Liang Lan stood beside him, smiling silently and watching the two discuss.
When he heard the topic, he already knew it, because he had seen it before.
In the memory of his previous life, this interesting story is related to Han Yu, one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties.
When Han Yu was studying in the academy, the gentleman who taught one day had a problem in the class, asking everyone to take out a copper coin, and the purchase should be enough to fill the whole room, in fact, this gentleman just wanted to find out the talents of the students, and he didn't know the answer to this matter.
The next day, the students came to the school with their prepared things.
Someone bought straw, someone bought saplings, someone bought several pieces of paper......
Mr. only thought it was interesting, and when Han Yu took out a candle and lit it on the spot, Mr. was suddenly shocked and praised repeatedly; "This son will surely achieve great things in the future!"
Whether this incident is true or false is impossible to test, in fact, Liang Lan also scoffed at this story when she first heard it, and regarded it as a far-fetched joke.
Who would have thought that one day, he would really encounter this ordinary scene.
Xu Guangya and Liu Haowen buried their heads in thought, and turned around to see that Liang Lan and Zhu Yingtai didn't bother to bother, the two of them racked their brains, but these two stood there in a daze, and their faces were a little unhappy.
"Do you have a good idea?" Liu Haowen teased.
He even planned to have a good line in his heart, and when the two of them said that they hadn't thought it through, he would make a persuasion.
Zhu Yingtai, who was alias Zhu Jiu, heard this, her face showed a slight embarrassment, and she began to explain that she had a pen and paper with her, and she just started to write.
"It's not a secret, I do have some ideas below." Liang Lan was smiling, about to stretch out his claws to steal the fruit of the wisdom of his predecessors.
"If you don't have an idea, why don't you ....." Liu Haowen said casually, then stopped, and hurriedly asked: "What, what do you have any ideas, Brother Liang might as well say it so that everyone can understand it." ”
Liang Lan didn't sell it, and said what she thought in her heart, which was actually what a certain senior thought, and sorted it out a little and told a few people.
"Huh?" Xu Guangya pondered for a moment and said, "This is ingenious. ”
Liu Haowen is a straight-hearted temper, and when he saw that Liang Lan casually solved this question, he couldn't help but blush, and said: "Brother Liang is really quick-witted, I must have thought alone just now, I blamed you." ”
"You're welcome, you two, this is also what I thought about in a hurry, and I don't know if I can satisfy the masters of the academy." Liang Lan pretended to be modest.
"By the way," he continued, "we still need to go to the village to buy candles, and there will be a delay on the way, so let's go and buy them as soon as possible." ”
His proposal was approved by the three of them, but Zhu Yingtai seemed to feel that something was wrong, but she was thinking more about hiding her identity at the moment, and her thoughts flashed, and she no longer thought about this topic.
The four of them greeted the academy together and walked towards the house at the foot of the mountain.
There are not many people living at the foot of the mountain, and Liang Lan and the others walked for a long time before they found a few families, knocked on the door and explained.
Fortunately, the countrymen are hearty, and they are all students of Nishan, and they are also very enthusiastic.
After a few simple words of communication, he readily agreed to the request of several people and gave them the candle and flint.
Xu Guangya took it and thanked the family, and everyone got up to say goodbye.
.....
Returning to the academy, a few people communicated with the college deacon, and were taken straight to the residence where the examiner and others were. The examiner of this session is Liu Litie, the superintendent in charge of teaching evaluation in the college.
This should be the mountain courtyard of a wealthy family, although it is only a few simple buildings, although the sparrows are small and complete, the outside is surrounded by a high courtyard wall to prevent anything from breaking in.
"You've solved the problem?" The examiner asked: "How many people have solved the problem so far?" ”
Someone on the left and right replied: "There are 19 groups of answerers, and only seven groups of correct answers." ”
"Did you hear that?"
The examiner asked: "Say it in advance, each group only has three chances to answer the question, and if you make more than three mistakes, you will be considered eliminated." ”
Liang Lan, Xu Guangya and the others nodded, they had already seen this rule before.
"Are you sure you want to answer?" The examiner asked.
"Sure." Several of them nodded confidently.
Obviously, they all think that the solution that Liang Lan just said is wonderful, and there should be no problem.
"Okay, you can say it."
The examiner waved his hand to signal that Liang Lan and the others could start.
Liang Lan Zhujiu and Liu Haowen both looked at Xu Guangya, Xu Guangya stood up with some excitement, took out a candle and stood on the table.
The examiner saw what Xu Guangya was holding clearly, but nodded approvingly.
Xu Guangya's eyes had already caught a glimpse of the examiner's inconspicuous small movements, and with joy hidden on his face, he lit the candle with a flint.
"Pounce-"
There was a short sound of flames, flames burning on the candles, and although it was afternoon, I still felt the light suddenly fill the room.
"Look, sir, that's our answer."
Xu Guangya pointed to the candle and waited for the final result.
In his opinion, the flame burning on the candle is the dawn of victory for successful promotion.
"Yes, I can see that you have put a lot of thought into it."
The examiner first praised a few words, and then his words changed abruptly. "Still, your answers don't meet the requirements."
What the?
Liang Lan was also a little surprised.
This ending is a bit wrong, shouldn't it be praised and congratulated on the group's advancement?
What's wrong with this answer?
"What is wrong, sir?" Xu Guangya was also a little stunned.
