The competition entered the fourth and last day, and early in the morning, the eunuchs were nervous and orderly preparing for the morning examination of the clear arithmetic subject. Everyone was nervous, after six duels, Beixuan won the first place, and the other academies were a little unto be outdone, and now in the last game, they all hope to win the first place for their own academies.

Also because of the last day. Nangong Xue and Zhao Linxue also sat on the onlookers early and waited for the competition to start, and not far away, Ling Huyi also sat on the onlookers and waited. The unexpected victory in the first three days of the competition made him very surprised, and he was also looking forward to the good news for today's competition, of course, he hoped to win perfectly, so that Beixuan Academy could also raise his eyebrows.

At the third quarter of the first day of the Chenchu, the judges and the exam-taking students were ready, Tao Haihui announced: "The Ming Calculation Competition starts now, please take the exam-taking students, the first is Hua Hua from Beixuan Academy, the second is He Shijing from Dongxuan Academy, the third is Yang Ruoxi from Nanxuan Academy, and the fourth is Shen Hongliang from Xixuan Academy." ”

After introducing the four students, Tao Haihui continued: "Now I will read out the rules of the clear arithmetic subject test: the clear arithmetic subject test is divided into two kinds of abacus and mental arithmetic, the first game of abacus will be divided into each person an abacus, with a test paper, there are some calculation questions on the test paper, in half an hour, to see who calculates more, fast, accurate results, the first game of abacus results will be accumulated in the second game, the second game of mental arithmetic, first quickly calculate, to see who calculates more and accurately, the time is half an hour, When the time comes, the eunuch will use the abacus to do a check on the mental arithmetic questions of the previous test students, and the results will meet to see who counts more questions and is more accurate, and the scores of the two rounds are added together, and the one with the highest score is judged to be the winner of the clear calculation competition. Did several students get it? If you understand, then ask the eunuch to start the timer. ”

Several students nodded and replied, "Understood, we're all ready to go." After speaking, Tao Haihui looked at several students seriously and said, "The competition of the Ming arithmetic subject starts now, and the eunuch is invited to start timer." As soon as the words fell, the eunuch standing in front of the bell began to time, and on the test table, the four test-taking students crackled and began to calculate. They all looked serious and serious, and Ye Zheyu, who was sitting on the judge's seat, whispered to Yang Chenxin, who was sitting next to him: "Lord Yang, Ruoxi on the stage is your daughter, right?" Will you have any scruples later? But when I saw it today, Ruoxi was more serious than last year. Looks like you've been teaching you a lot this year, right? ”

"Lord Ye really has a good memory, and he deserves to be the vice president of the four major academies." Yang Chenxin smiled and replied in a low voice, "Ruoxi will inevitably be more serious than last year when she grows up, and my teaching to her is naturally indispensable, all of this is also for her good, and I must bother with a little bit, but even so, I will not have any selfish motives to favor my own children, the annual competition of the four major academies must be treated fairly, whether it is my own children or not, and it is also necessary to treat each student fairly and score fairly." ”

After hearing this, Ye Zheyu applauded Yang Chenxin softly, and said: "Well said, I don't have any worries anymore with your words, then again, this year's competition seems to have fewer children participating in it, and I don't know what the reason is, I basically participated last year, my dog participated in the Ming Jing subject competition, of course, I will not have any partiality for my children, and I will also score fairly." The competition is based on personal strength. What a few of us can do is to watch every subject competition seriously, I have to say that this year's competition Beixuan Academy is out of the limelight, a total of eight games, six consecutive games won the first place, the last two seem to be not to be outdone. Let's just wait for the exciting competition. ”

"Lord Ye is right. Let's take a good look at them and see them grow in the competition. Yang Chenxin smiled and nodded.

After speaking, the two of them focused their eyes on the test table, watched the competition seriously, and waited for a wonderful showdown. Soon half an hour came, and the eunuch could only be heard announced: "The time is up." As soon as the words fell, four eunuchs came up, they carefully collected the test papers, and then handed them over to the judges for review, because several judges had a test answer in their hands, and several people carefully reviewed the test papers, about half a cup of tea, the results of the first game of abacus came out, and after several judges discussed, they wrote down the decision scores of the first game, and then signaled that Tao Haihui could continue to conduct the second game of mental arithmetic competition.

After Tao Haihui got the permission of the judge, he announced: "The second game of mental arithmetic competition begins, please ask the eunuch to time it." As soon as the words fell, the eunuch began to time, several students on the stage looked at the test papers of mental arithmetic seriously, and began to calculate silently, just when they were mentally arithmetic, the judges on the judge bench whispered to the first game of abacus and praised: "These students except for Hua Hua of Beixuan Academy, the rest of them have made a lot of progress compared to last year, and they have answered more questions, and the questions they answered correctly have also improved a lot compared to last year. The calculation is not only accurate, but also the calculation of all the questions on the test paper in half an hour, it is really amazing, this student has such excellent calculation ability, why didn't I see him last year, this is a good person. Where did it come from? ”

"The youngest son of Hua Yi, the head of the Ministry of Industry." Han Zhuoyong said, "This time last year, he was sick and recuperating at home, and I happened to see this child when I went to Washington to visit Huada. So he didn't come last year. ”

"Then it's not surprising, Hua Daren is the god operator of our dynasty, the calculation is accurate, and the engineering is not bad, it seems that he has also cultivated a good son to inherit his ability. There is a successor, and if the people of Huada see it, they will be very pleased. Yang Qihan said.

The judge said so, the competition on the test table is about to end, at this time I saw Hua Hua put down the pen in his hand, and then signaled to let the eunuch record the completion time, the eunuch carefully glanced at the clock, and then recorded carefully, when recording, the eunuch glanced at Hua Hua's test paper from time to time, and was surprised to find that he had answered all the questions, and the answer he gave was written behind each question on the test paper. At this moment, there is still half a quarter left in the final closing time, and it is amazing that seventy questions can be calculated in such a short time. "He's got a fast brain." The eunuch couldn't help but say secretly in his heart. After recording the time, the eunuch gave him a thumbs up and gave him a thumbs up, and then went down for the time being.

At this moment, the other three on the stage were still silently calculating. When the time was about to arrive, the other three put down the pen in their hands one after another, and then motioned to the eunuch to record the completion time. When the time came, the timekeeper announced, "The time has come." At this time, the eunuch who recorded the time for the students to complete the test paper also continued to record the completion time seriously. Tao Haihui came to the stage and announced: "It's time for the Ming Calculation Competition, please wait for a while, and the final results will be read out soon." Thank you. ”

Soon the eunuchs finished recording, and then handed over the test papers and the record time for completing the test papers to the judges, and several judges took it and read it carefully one by one, and each judge carefully reviewed it carefully and discussed it in a low voice. Yang Chenxin praised: "It's really not easy, the four of them have answered all the mental arithmetic questions in half an hour, and they have made progress." In terms of speed, it is still the fastest Huahua. ”

"Fast is fast, but we still have to see if it's accurate." Lin Shiru said, "Mental arithmetic depends on whether it is fast or not, and whether it is accurate or not. ”

"Uh-huh. Lord Lin was right. Yun Dingxing nodded.

As he spoke, several judges compared the answers in their hands with the four test papers, carefully examined the results of mental arithmetic, and the eunuch next to him also took the abacus and calculated carefully. Everyone standing in the audience to watch the competition waited for the final result, compared to others, Zhao Linxue seemed more nervous, although she knew Hua Hua's strength, but she knew the strength of the other three, after all, she had also watched last year's Ming Arithmetic subject competition. At that time, Yang Ruoxi won the first place in Mingsuan, and Shen Hongliang won the second. In terms of strength, the two of them are comparable, Hua Hua is the first time to participate, and he is more or less worried. She clenched her little fists tightly, and her palms were sweating, Nangong Xue looked at it, and gently pulled her hand to comfort her, so that she could not worry.

Half a moment passed, the eunuch stopped the abacus in his hand, handed the results of the calculation to the judge, the judge took the eunuch's calculation results, circulated them to each other, all nodded, and told the eunuchs to retreat first, and soon the judge discussed the final results of the calculation and wrote it on paper and handed it to Tao Haihui, Tao Haihui, who got the final results, straightened up and announced: "After a tense competition, now I will read out the final results, comprehensive abacus mental arithmetic two rounds of competition, The final scores of several students are as follows, He Shijing scored 97 points, Yang Ruoxi scored 98 points, Shen Hongliang scored 99 points, and Hua Hua scored 100 points. The judge's explanation for this result is as follows, in abacus and mental arithmetic, all students are very accurate to calculate the test questions, the difference between a few is the difference in time, abacus, Hua Hua in the specified time will all the abacus questions have been calculated, and all answered correctly, there are no calculation errors, the other few also answered very accurately, but not all answered, so slightly inferior, mental arithmetic this game several performance is very good, the question is answered as much, the difference is that the length of time is different, Hua Hua completed the fastest, Therefore, after the final discussion, Hua Hua was congratulated with 100 points, and the other three judges all encouraged him and hoped to make persistent efforts. I hope to see your best matchups in the coming year. ”

Tao Haihui paused, turned around and asked, "Do the students have any objections to this judgment?" If so, please bring it up. ”

Several students shook their heads and responded, "No objections." In fact, during the whole competition, the other three also admired Hua Hua's quick calculation, although they had no intention of observing each other during the competition, but they also noticed that Hua Hua was indeed superior in calculation. Therefore, the other three have no opinion on this.

Seeing that several people had no objections, Tao Haihui continued to read: "Then I announce that the final winner of the Ming Arithmetic subject competition is Hua Hua, and the competition is over. Now I ask the judges to take a break. ”

……

……

In the afternoon, Tao Haihui stood on the stage on time and announced: "The Ming Jing subject competition starts now, and I will introduce all the students who participated in the Ming Jing subject competition, the first Liao Zifeng from Beixuan Academy, the second Ye Tianyu from Dongxuan Academy, the third Xia Hanjing from Nanxuan Academy, and the fourth Song Senyu from Xixuan Academy. ”

After speaking, several students walked up to the stage one by one, bowed deeply to the judges and the onlookers, and took their seats. Tao Haihui continued to read: "Next, I will announce the rules of the Ming Jing subject competition, several students will memorize the test questions within half an hour, there will be several interferences in the process of memorization, and after half an hour, the judge will test the content of the questions that he memorized before. Still have questions about the rules? ”

Several students shook their heads and replied in unison, "No, you can start." ”

"Then I announce the official start of the Ming Jing subject competition. Now start the timer. Tao Haihui announced. Then the eunuch's side began to clock in. The test table also began to take the exam, several students began to memorize the content of the test paper, just remembered, there were four eunuchs holding the gong while knocking on the stage, they beat so much to interfere with their memory, sure enough, someone was tricked, Xia Hanjing Ye Tianyu was taken aback, they glanced at the eunuch with disdain, and then looked at the test paper intently and soon began to continue to remember, the eunuchs walked off the stage quickly as soon as they saw that they were not affected, After a while, he walked on stage with a small drum while beating, still to interfere, this time it was Song Senyu who was recruited, and soon he didn't care about these and continued to memorize the content of the test paper. The eunuch saw that it had no effect, so he quickly went down, and after a while, the four eunuchs came to the stage again, this time they took the copper cymbal and walked on the stage, and they didn't knock it at first, and a few students were not too guarded, and after waiting for a while, the eunuchs knocked hard, and this knock scared Ye Tianyu, Xia Hanjing, and Song Senyu were excited, and the three of them glanced at the eunuchs impatiently, and several eunuchs showed helpless expressions one by one, looking at the irritable eyes they cast, and they all whispered: " It's all arranged by others, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

Three-quarters of the time had passed after the third round of interference, and at this time, Tao Haihui struck the gong heavily and lied loudly: "It's time!" As a result, except for Liao Zifeng, the other three were disturbed again, and several people hurriedly glanced at the judges' seat, only to notice that they had been deceived, and they had no choice but to remember it again.

Soon the time to memorize the test paper came, and at this time the eunuch announced: "The time has come, stop memorizing." After speaking, the eunuch walked up to the stage and began to collect the test papers. At this time, Liao Zifeng looked very calm, and the other three looked a little depressed. The rules of the competition are like this, they are just depressed and it doesn't help. Then it's the judge's turn to test.

At this time, I saw several judges calmly walking up to them with test papers, and Yun Dingxing first asked, "Please tell me the content of Article 12 of Article 3 of the Law." ”

Liao Zifeng was the first to reply: "The officials in the DPRK ......." He answered word by word, and answered Yun Dingxing's question word for word, and the other three were still a little confused.

Yang Chenxin, who was standing on the side, wanted to give a chance to several other students, so he asked, "The third paragraph in the university." After saying that, Liao Zifeng waited for a while, he looked at the other three, they all frowned, and were thinking, Liao Zifeng didn't answer in time when he saw it, so he recited the content of the question word for word, Yang Chenxin looked at Liao Zifeng with satisfaction, and then looked at Ye Tianyu who was worried about it with some regret, and didn't continue to ask. Nangong Feng glanced at the test paper in his hand, and then also asked: "The content of Article 30 of Article 10 of the Criminal Law. Ye Tianyu was not to be outdone, and he didn't want to embarrass his father too much, so he answered first, but fortunately, he still remembered this, so he recited it word for word. After listening to his answer, Nangong Feng nodded with satisfaction.

There are a total of 30 questions on the test paper involving all aspects of what you usually learn, and several judges took turns to ask questions, and in the end, Liao Zifeng answered 20, Ye Tianyu answered 3, Song Senyu answered 4, and Xia Hanjing answered 3. According to the answers of several students, several judges also made a final decision, and the result is of course clear at a glance. Tao Haihui announced: "The score of the Ming Jing subject competition is, Liao Zifeng is 100 points, Song Senyu is 95 points, Ye Tianyu is 93 points, and Xia Hanjing is 93 points. Several judges said this for this score, several students are working hard in the Ming Jing competition, and they are also taken seriously, although in the case of several interferences, it is not easy to quickly remember again, so give a few students encouragement and awards, I hope you can work hard. Do you have any additional information from the students? ”

After speaking, several people shook their heads and responded in unison: "No, we obey the results given by the judge." ”

"Then I announce that the final result of the Ming Jing subject competition is that Liao Zifeng won, and the Ming Jing subject test is now over." Tao Haihui announced, "After four days of competition, the annual competition of the four major college subjects is now officially over. In this competition, Beixuan Academy won the first place in the eight subject competitions, won the first place, congratulations to several students of Beixuan Academy and other students and teachers of Beixuan Academy, according to the total score of each college ranked second is Dongxuan Academy, congratulations, the third place is Xixuan Academy, congratulations, the fourth place is Nanxuan Academy, congratulations, I hope the remaining three colleges are not discouraged, the competition is only, I hope you will communicate more and learn more, I hope you will show your style in the coming year. ”

After speaking, the audience also congratulated each other, Nangong Xue and Zhao Linxue happily hugged each other and jumped together, and cheered: "Great!" That's great! We won all eight subjects in Beixuan! What a long face! We're going to celebrate today! After waiting, Zhao Linxue and Nangong Xue stood happily at the door of Hanlin Yuan hand in hand, waiting for a few triumphant returns. It didn't take long for the group to come to Hongbin Building happily. Seeing that everyone was here, Kong Haoyu ordered his subordinates to let them serve the food. As soon as the dish was served, everyone raised the bowl with brushes, and it was full of boiled water, because they were not too old to drink alcohol and tea, so they unanimously decided to use water instead of wine to salute Nangong Xue Dao: "Respect our 'eldest sister', now if there is no support from the eldest sister, our Beixuan Academy will not win so beautifully, and we will not be so popular." It's all given by the eldest sister, so let's toast the eldest sister with water instead of wine. ”

"I'm just setting up the stage for you, and in the end it's you who do well." Nangong Xue said modestly, "Now that you are so gracious, I won't sweep this Yaxing, I'll do it." After speaking, Nangong Xue drank a bowl of water.

"In the past, there was Bole who knew thousands of horses, and now there are Bole who know talents." Kong Haoyu said, "I still want to thank our eldest sister." Without her, we wouldn't be where we are today. Today is a good day, and we have to go home with all the fun. Everyone wants to eat and drink well today, and I have a treat. As soon as he heard this, the big guy was even more energetic. All of them are extremely unkind. Eat and drink as much as you want. Because I was so happy, I took the carriages back to my respective homes one after another.

After learning that Beixuan Academy had won the first place in the competition of eight subjects, the emperor was also surprised, although he was surprised on the surface, he was still very happy in his heart. After Zhao Linxue and the others returned to the palace, they went to their dormitory to visit them. The emperor was full of curiosity and asked Zhao Linxue: "Lin'er, this year's competition is really shocking, can you tell your father, when did you become so powerful?" Even my father didn't see it. ”

"Father, it's not that we're good, it's someone who mentioned us and helped us win this competition." Zhao Linxue replied with a smile.

"Can you tell Father who is helping you?" The emperor asked again.

"Of course you can, this person is Nangong Xue, and she is the daughter of Nangong Mansion." Zhao Linxue replied.

As soon as the emperor heard this, he was more curious about Nangong Xue in his heart, this child helped his daughter and son realize the doctor's wish, and now such a grand competition is from her handwriting, she can do so many jaw-dropping things at the age of five, so he thought, "If I have a chance, I must meet this daughter." ”
