"Bell, bell!"

There was a sound of bells and drums outside the teaching hall, indicating that the third class of Guozijian had ended, except for the arithmetic hall, the students of the rest of the school hall had left class to rest, in fact, this was also thanks to the class system introduced by Li Zexuan, otherwise where would they enjoy such benefits.

"Yuan Shuo, let's go, go and see the monthly exam of the arithmetic hall!"

In the Guozi Academy, a young student pulled his classmates next to him and said excitedly.

"Don't go, it's just a monthly exam, what's the point?"

The student named Yuan Shuo shook his head and refused.

"What do you mean by not looking? If you don't look at it. How can so many people go to watch the first two classes? Let's go, let's go, tsk, I heard that they were the first in the monthly exam, and they were able to take the whole family to Zuixian Mansion for a free meal! And you can order any food or drink, as long as you can finish it! ”

"Yanfu, although your family is not a rich family, it is not so much that you can't even afford to eat in the Drunken Immortal Tower, right? Your father is the owner of the Hongwen Pavilion, and his words are hard to find, and any pair of words is enough for your family to spend for several years, right? ”

It turned out that the young man in front of him was the "little bird according to the people" - Chu Suiliang's eldest son, Chu Yanfu.

"Alas, how can you be so exaggerated as Yuan Shuo, but even so, my father will not agree, how do my father think his words can be compared with those copper-smelling things? Therefore, even if I have the money to go to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat, I will not be extravagant enough to order food casually! ”

"Hehe, it's useless for you to envy that Yanfu! You're not a student of the Arithmetic Academy! ”

Yuan Shuo smiled and said with a blow.

"Ha, although the younger brother is not a student of the Arithmetic Academy, it is not impossible to go and have a look! Yuan Shuo, let's go, let's go, go and see, don't you admire Li Siye's new arithmetic, just go and see! ”

Chu Yanfu said that, and without saying anything, he took Yuan Shuo's arm and walked outside the teaching house.

"Oops, I didn't say I was going........."

"Ahem, where are you going?"

Two sad babies, just went out and happened to meet one of the five doctors of the Guozi Academy - Cui Shanyou!

"Ah~, sir! Let's count ........"

"Let's go to the toilet! Mr! ”

Chu Yanfu heard that Yuan Shuo was almost about to tell the truth, he hurriedly grabbed the conversation, made up a nonsense and blurted out.

"Hmm~! Then go ahead! Don't be late for class in a while! ”

Cui Shanyou carefully examined their expressions for a while, but he didn't see anything unusual, so he said coldly.

"Well, sir, then we'll go!"

Chu Yanfu pulled Yuan Shuo and ran into the distance.

"Hey, Yanfu, isn't the Arithmetic Hall in the south? How do we run east? ”

After running for a while, Yuan Shuohu said suspiciously.

"Yuan Shuo, you are stupid! What we just told Dr. Cui was to go to the toilet, wouldn't you be revealing your stuff if you didn't run this way? It's the same when we go around to the arithmetic hall from here! ”

"Oh, by the way, Yanfu, why did you lie to Dr. Cui just now?"

"Haven't you heard? Dr. Cui has been looking at Li Siye unpleasantly recently, thinking that he has brought bad to the study style of Guozijian, and has gone to the sacrificial wine more than once to complain! ”

"Huh~? Is there such a thing? But Li Siye didn't bring a bad style of study? On the contrary, since he came to Guozijian, we have all used blackboard chalk, enjoyed the system of going to and from classes, and learned pinyin, why does Dr. Cui slander Dr. Li like this? ”

"Alas! Who's to say it isn't! But Yuan Shuo, you don't have to worry, Dr. Li has now become the director of Guozijian, and Dr. Cui doesn't have the ability to bring him down! ”

Inside the Arithmetic Museum.

The teachers and students inside were all working hard to write, and they didn't pay attention to the lively students outside, Li Zexuan was writing and writing that he couldn't help but be immersed in the story, and he didn't have the heart to pay attention to the outside. The students in the arithmetic hall didn't have time to look around because of the large number of questions.

After a while, the bell and drum of the class rang, and the students outside scattered and rushed to their respective teaching houses, and the arithmetic hall was quiet again.

Gradually, this monthly exam has also entered the countdown to the end.

Many students also made it to the last question. In this monthly exam, Li Zexuan didn't get any additional questions, so this last question is a must-do question for students, but after reading the questions, everyone was a little dumbfounded.

"One day, a young man came to Boss Wang's shop and bought a gift, the cost of this gift was 180 wen, and the price was 210 wen. As a result, the young man took out a golden bean worth a thousand wen to buy the gift. Boss Wang didn't have so many copper coins to find at that time, so he used the golden beans worth 1,000 Wen to exchange 1,000 copper coins from the neighborhood, and found 790 Wen for the young man. But the neighborhood later found out that the golden bean turned out to be fake, and Boss Wang had no choice but to return a golden bean of the same size to the neighborhood. The question is: how much money did Boss Wang lose in this transaction?

Sun Zifan read the question once and felt that his brain was a little messy, he read the question twice again, and felt that he had some ideas, so he began to pick up the pen and perform calculations on the scratch paper.

"Boss Wang found 790 Wen for the young man, and later he lost 1,000 Wen to his neighbors, and he earned 210 Wen, but 180 of them are costs, so he lost a total of 790 + 1000 + 180-210 = 1760 Wen, tsk, it should be like this, right?"

Sun Zifan didn't take a while to sort out his thoughts and calculate the answer, he couldn't help but feel a little complacent, and was about to transcribe the answer to the test paper, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he paused, and recalculated:

"No, I should think about it this way, Boss Wang's loss is the 1,000 Wen returned to the neighborhood and the 790 Wen found for the buyer, plus the 180 Wen gifts taken by the buyer, a total of 1000 + 790 + 180 = 1970 Wen, this is always right, right?"

Sun Zifan held his chin and thought about it, he was also a little hesitant about this second answer, and he didn't dare to write the answer on the test paper for a while, he read the question again, and still felt that it was wrong.

"That's not right! Although the cost of the gift is 180 wen, the price of it is 210 wen! Boss Wang can earn 30 wen by selling him to others, and after selling it to young people, in addition to the loss of that money, should these 30 wen also be counted? In this way, Boss Wang's loss is a total of 1000 + 790 + 210 = 2000 Wen! ”

"Damn, how did you come up with three answers in such a short time? Which answer is correct? ”

Sun Zifan looked at the three different and truthful answers on the scratch paper, and was completely confused, if this thing crossed over, he would definitely vomit blood at this moment and said: "Cao Nima!" This question is poisonous!! ”

"Is it 1760 Wen? Or 1970 text? Or 2000 Wen? Which one should I choose, sir? ”

Sun Zifan's eyes were between the three answers, dripping and turning, and after a while, he felt a little dizzy, he shook his head, and said angrily in his heart: "Cao, catch lots!" Which one is which one to catch! Master, I've always had good luck, but I still don't believe it! ”

If Li Zexuan knew what this thing thought, he would definitely reward him with two big-eared scrapers, do you think you are doing a multiple-choice question? Why don't you throw the dice?

To some extent, this comic is also a precedent, and many modern students have chosen to draw lots or toss coins when they encounter uncertain options when doing multiple-choice questions in exams.
