Chapter 43: Turning in the blank papers
The bell rings, and the math exam officially begins.
This recruitment examination is as strict as the imperial examination, and the person in charge of the examination is Lu Qing, a great Confucian in Jiangning, and the two deputy examiners next to him are Mr. Wang's private students.
Lu Qing recounted the discipline in the examination room, which was nothing more than prohibiting noisy, plagiarism, and telling each other the answers, but once they were found to be cheating, they would be kicked out of the examination room and embarrassed all over Jiangning City.
Stepping on the bell, the well-dressed sons entered the examination room, ready to meet the exam, and the outside of the house was already empty.
There was silence in the exam, but after getting the math ink paper, the candidates who were sitting at the table before suddenly became confused and frowned.
Today's exam questions are so difficult!
Zhao Hao put the brush on the inkstone, took a deep breath of cool air, then opened the ink scroll, and then quickly skimmed the exam questions on the ink scroll, and then glanced at the candidates around him who were frowning, and shook his head.
These questions are too forceful, and they have to take the test for a full hour, and the ten-question comprehensive test takes two hours, which is an eye-opener, if it is the college entrance examination, it is not a whole day?
No one dared to question the exam questions, and the exam was still going on normally.
After the hard work of the two sticks of incense, Zheng Yuzheng looked at the last four questions and was engrossed, his brows twisted into a Sichuan character, even though he claimed to be proficient in arithmetic, he was quite struggling with these questions.
“…… There are a total of 100 monks in a certain temple, and a total of 100 buns are offered early, among which four small monks eat one bun, and one big monk eats four buns, but ask Zhusheng: How many big monks and how many small monks are there in the temple? ”
“…… In a certain family, the father went to the immortal, left 17 cattle to plough, and the will said: The eldest son gets half of the number of cattle, the second son gets one-third of the number of cattle, and the child gets one-ninth of the number of cattle. According to the law of our court, it is a felony to slaughter a ploughing ox, but I ask all living beings: How to divide the oxen according to the instructions? ”
"Someone's ...... in a hotel"
Zheng Yu's arithmetic has always been outstanding, so he does it quickly, even faster than Xie Yu. Just when he only had these four problems left, Xie Yu still had six questions to do, and the others didn't need to say it, like Zheng Feng, who didn't solve a single problem.
However, these four problems were like four mountains in front of him, and it was difficult to move forward.
At this moment, a figure flashed past him, Zheng Yu raised his head suspiciously, and was about to see which one had eaten leopard gall and dared to walk around the examination room at will, when he saw Zhao Hao saluting Lu Qing, who was staring around with fiery eyes, and then handed the ink scroll in his hand respectfully.
Zheng Yu shook his head, secretly sneering, but with a little pleasure: "Obviously, I don't know how to learn, but I don't know whether to live or die, and now that I have handed in the white scroll, I am afraid that I will become famous in Jiangning City." ”
Even if it is a parallel commodity like Zheng Feng, although he can't solve a problem, he is still meditating and struggling, Zhao Hao handed over the paper so quickly, there is only one explanation, that is, he has given up struggling.
However, today's question is a little too difficult......
The first person to hand in the papers naturally quickly attracted everyone's attention, and for a while there was an uproar in the examination room, with voices of disdain and ridicule, and some people who took the opportunity to complain that the test questions were too difficult (look at Zhao Gongzi who directly handed in the blank papers), which provoked Lu Qing to constantly signal everyone to be quiet.
Even Xie Yu was secretly smiling and shaking his head: "Cousin, I knew this was the case, why bother to come...... The Wang family is also ruthless, and my cousin is afraid that it is really an unsolved question. ”
Among the crowd, only Zheng Feng looked at Zhao Hao's back and his eyes suddenly lit up, and after taking a deep breath, he immediately moved his pen like a fly.
Not only did everyone think so, but Lu Qing also thought in his heart that Zhao Hao was mostly answering the paper in one go, his impression of Zhao Hao was actually not bad, but he knew in his heart that although the son of the Zhao family could write a good hand and chant a good poem, he would never be able to answer these ten questions within the time of two sticks of incense.
Because this question is indeed too difficult, otherwise it would not have taken a full hour to test ten questions.
It's just that since Zhao Hao has already handed in the paper, he naturally has to read the paper first, Lu Qing brushed a wry smile at the corner of his mouth, gently spread out Zhao Hao's ink roll, and began to review the answer sheet.
It's just that after reading the three answers, Lu Qing's face changed slightly, and the look in his eyes became solemn.
In the audience, all the candidates were still thinking hard, and no one noticed that Lu Qing's expression changed from casual to dignified, from dignified to surprised, and then to incredible......
After a long time, Lu Qing retracted his mind and handed Zhao Hao's answer sheet to the deputy examiner of the Wang family on the left.
He put down the brush and muttered to himself in a low voice: "Shibei three days, when you are impressed, Zhao Gongzi is not a thing in the pool, and it is ......."
Just as he lost his mind, a man appeared in front of him and interrupted his thoughts.
"Xiaosheng Zheng Feng submits the papers, please Lu Gong for approval."
The corners of Lu Qing's mouth twitched, and his face became extremely difficult to look at, as if he had fallen into an evil spirit.
In his subconscious, there is a feeling that if he hits a ghost today, the scumbags in Jiangning City will suddenly transform into a scholar, which really subverts his cognition.
It's just that after spreading out Zheng Feng's test papers, he quickly calmed down.
"Answer: Fifty great monks, fifty little nuns."
"Answer: Drive seventeen oxen to the edge of the cliff and fall to their deaths, then report to the officials, and then divide their meat."
……
The world is still normal, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
**************************
There was still half an hour before the meal, and everyone did not go to the Yaxuanju hall, but gathered outside the examination room, waiting for the release of the results of the math exam.
When Lu Qing walked out of the examination room with the ink not dry score list, the audience suddenly surrounded him with a bang, but it was inconvenient to get too close.
It wasn't until Lu Qing pasted two pieces of paper on the wall upright and walked away that everyone crowded closer in an uproar.
Zheng Yu and Xie Yu naturally didn't crowd the list like them, but just watched from afar, because the people in front of them would naturally report the top ten on the list.
Especially Zheng Yu, his face is quite colorful, the last four problems, he only has the problem of dividing the cattle that he has not answered, it must be the first, even if it is Xie Yu, he can only succumb to him.
Arithmetic was originally his proud science.
"1st place...... How is he, how is it possible! ”
In the crowd, someone suddenly shouted.
"Impossible!" As soon as the man finished speaking, someone shouted one after another.
The crowd was in an uproar.
"Don't panic, look at the one posted next to it, it's Zhao Gongzi's answer sheet!
"That's right, that word must be Zhao Gongzi's."
"This volume is jointly reviewed by Mr. Lu Gong and Mr. Wang, and it will definitely not be wrong."
Xie Yu and Zheng Yu were still watching from a distance in the crowd, waiting for the front to pass over, but they saw the crowd in front of them, as if they had exploded a pot, and their faces couldn't help but change slightly, and they couldn't care about being reserved, so they rushed over together.
Although standing on the periphery of the crowd, the height of both of them is considered to be the height of the group, and they are not short-sighted, and the list is also higher than the heads of everyone, so at a glance I can see the name hanging high at the top of the list.
"It's him!" Zheng Yu made a sound that was not just crying but laughing as if he had seen a ghost.
After the Peony Flower Meeting, this is the second time he has tasted the feeling of being slapped in the face by a fierce counterattack!
originally thought that he would definitely be the first in high school in this mathematics exam, but in the field he was best at, he was counterattacked, and then he was ruthlessly trampled in the dust, and he had no power to fight back.
Out of ten questions, he got nine questions right, but it took nearly an hour, while the opponent only spent two sticks of incense and easily got a full score.
Xie Yu, who was on the side, finally came back to his senses, and muttered to himself intentionally or unintentionally: "Don't talk too much about everything, otherwise you will bring shame on yourself." ”
