"Brother Chen, do you really think this poor sour can be solved?"

Watching Zhou Xuan walk towards the academy, the bachelor next to him asked the bachelor surnamed Chen curiously.

The bachelor surnamed Chen sneered: "Just him? Hmph, even a famous Confucian like Tanglin Jun can't figure it out, how can he be virtuous? I'm just having fun! Hahaha......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately laughed, and immediately turned back to the school hall to watch the excitement.

The school hall is still the school hall.,Except for a slight update in the decoration.,It's no different from that year.,Zhou Xuan walked into the school hall and immediately recalled the days and nights when he used to fight here.,It's a pity that he's no longer here.。

"Ah, alas......"

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Xuan was suddenly awakened by a commotion, and hurriedly walked towards the lecture hall where the sound came from.

Outside the lecture hall, there was a large circle of people watching the excitement, and there were two sets of tables and chairs, and one person sat on the chair and worked hard to write.

The scholar at one of the tables and chairs was dejected, apparently having failed, and the previous uproar was a sign of regret for him.

On another set of tables and chairs, there sat a merry scribe who was nearly forty years old, and Zhou Xuan recognized this person at a glance as Lin Baixi, the master of the academy.

Speaking of Lin Baixi, this person can be described as a young genius, a six-year-old child, a ten-year-old showman, a nineteen-year-old middle lift, and a twenty-eight-year-old high school second list.

Zhou Xuan didn't expect that even he would appear here, and he didn't expect Lin Baixian to be in a cold sweat at this time, and he had not been able to solve this problem.

The people watching the excitement held their breath and waited for the result, but Zhou Xuan sighed.

The most important method of arithmetic is like being able to enter the door, and how difficult the problem can be solved step by step, but looking at Lin Baixi's appearance, it should have taken a lot of time, his mood gradually became anxious, and his thinking dropped greatly, and it was basically impossible to solve the problem.

Sure enough, after another half a pillar of incense, Lin Baixian finally sighed, shook his head, and announced that he would give up.

The onlookers wailed again, originally when Lin Baixian appeared, everyone thought that he would be able to solve this problem, but he didn't expect it to fall short.

Although Lin Baixian is not a master of arithmetic, he has always liked to study miscellaneous studies, arithmetic and ink science, and I heard that he has recently become obsessed with the Yin and Yang of the Guigu brought by the champion Hou Xu Rui, so even he has not been able to solve this problem, which is really surprising.

However, in addition to being surprised, Zhou Xuan also noticed that when Lin Baixian announced his defeat, he glanced at the inner hall of the lecture hall, and there was a trace of deep disappointment in his eyes.

This is by no means a disappointment that I didn't solve a question, but more like my expression when I failed the exam back then.

Thinking of a gambling contract with a daughter, a thought immediately popped up in Zhou Xuan's heart, is there any mystery behind this question?

Seeing that Lin Bai immediately got out of the crowd after his failure, he didn't stop at all, and the suspicion in Zhou Xuan's heart became more and more serious.

He pondered for a moment, and then asked a bachelor beside him, "Dare to ask Your Excellency, this question is so difficult, who is the person who made the question?" ”

The bachelor returned the salute and said, "Who knows? But today is really abnormal, everyone is endlessly famous, even those who have gained fame have come out of the mountain, but so far no one has been able to solve this problem, presumably the person who came up with the problem must be a generation of grandmasters. ”

"That's right...... Thank you very much......"

Zhou Xuan and the bachelor saluted each other again, which was regarded as a thank you, but they muttered in their hearts.

If there was no hope for pi, he might be very interested in those questions that stumped everyone, but now that the pi calculation for many years is about to be completed, he is all about to be there, how can he be interested in answering the questions?

However, although he was not interested in answering the questions, he was not interested in taking money.

For him, 1,000 taels was a huge amount of money, and if he could get this money for at least four or five years, he would no longer have to worry about the family's expenses, and he would be able to calm down and study arithmetic for four or five years.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xuan suddenly made up his mind, hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd, and walked towards the two tables in the field.

Several celebrities were defeated one after another, which made the people who watched a little suffocated, and when they saw someone appearing, they were overjoyed, but when everyone saw that it was not a celebrity, but a poor and sour, they couldn't help but be disappointed.

"Zhou Xuan, are you going to answer the question too?"

The old master of the school hall was in charge of answering the questions, and when he saw Zhou Xuan squeezing out of the crowd, he asked with a smile.

Zhou Xuan hurriedly bowed to the old master, and said respectfully: "The master is on top, the student is not talented, and he is thinking about ......."

Before the words were finished, a loud shout suddenly came from the crowd: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, my young master wants to come to see and see, what kind of problem can be worth a thousand gold!" ”

As soon as the words fell, several guards forcibly squeezed into the crowd, blocking a passage, and a handsome noble man in his thirties shook a folding fan and swaggered in.

This person was so domineering that everyone was originally a little angry, but when they saw this person's appearance clearly, their faces changed slightly.

"Zhao Xiaogongzi, even he is here?!"

The scholars who watched the excitement exclaimed again and again.

The full name of this Zhao Xiaogongzi is Zhao Cheng, he is a clan, and he is a distant uncle of Emperor Hongwei according to his generation.

Although Zhou Xuan didn't know this person, he could see that he was not small, so he hurriedly stepped aside.

Zhao Cheng passed by him, glanced at him with disdain, and then swaggered up to the old master and said, "What is the problem, show it to this son." ”

The old master knew how powerful he was, so he didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took out a manuscript paper with a good topic and handed it to Zhao Cheng.

Zhao Cheng unfolded the manuscript paper and looked at it, and the leisurely look on his face gradually faded and became solemn.

After looking at half a pillar of incense, Zhao Cheng couldn't stand anymore, and subconsciously sat on the chair, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

After another pillar of incense, he seemed to suddenly remember something, pulled a piece of manuscript paper, picked up the pen and began to answer.

When everyone saw this, they immediately had some hope, but the result was a big disappointment for everyone.

After only a few strokes, Zhao Cheng shook his head, crumpled the manuscript paper, and pushed it all over again.

Then it was a long wait, Zhao Cheng frowned and pondered, occasionally picking up a pen to write and paint, which was not much different from the celebrities who appeared before.

Just when everyone thought that he was going to follow the old path of other people, Zhao Cheng suddenly laughed, the embarrassment on his face was solved, he picked up the pen and wrote down half a page of manuscript paper with enthusiasm, then threw the pen away, and said lightly: "It's done, take it to the questioner." ”

"Wow!!"

The people present suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

The old master hurriedly asked people to take the answer and go to the inner hall to verify it, but Zhao Cheng's face was full of pride, obviously very confident in his answer.

Zhou Xuan looked at his appearance, sighed slightly in his heart, and thought that this thousand taels might have nothing to do with him, and he couldn't help but feel a little lost.

However, at this moment, the old master suddenly walked out of the back hall with an iron face, and everyone suddenly quieted down when they saw his appearance, and the triumphant Zhao Cheng couldn't help frowning.

The old master looked at Zhao Cheng, swallowed his saliva, and said stubbornly: "After verification by the questioner, Zhao Xiaogongzi's answer is missing...... Belch...... A thousand miles of fallacy are also ......"

"What?!"

Everyone was immediately disappointed when they heard this, but they didn't expect that even Zhao Xiaogongzi couldn't answer correctly.

Zhao Cheng's face turned red, and he said angrily: "Impossible! My answer must be right! ”

As he spoke, he slammed the table and said, "Unless the person who wrote the question deliberately played tricks on everyone, this son wants to see who has such courage!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he was about to break into the back hall.

"I can't help it, Zhao Xiaogongzi can't help it!"

The old master hurriedly went to stop him.

"Get out of here!"

The domineering Zhao Cheng pushed the old master away, rushed to the door of the back hall in three or two steps, and lifted the curtain.

Everyone stood on his side, and they couldn't see the situation in the back hall, but at the moment when the curtain was opened, the imposing Zhao Cheng didn't know what he saw, as if frozen like a stone carving, and never took a step forward.

"A pot of tea has just been brewed, does Zhao Xiaogongzi want to stay and drink at the same table?"

A soft and glutinous girl came out of the back hall, and the sound seemed to hook the soul, tickle people's hearts, and immediately made people reverie about her face.

However, Zhao Cheng seemed to have seen a ghost, his previous momentum was gone, he bowed deeply, and then lowered the door curtain, turned around and left with a pale face, and did not stop for a moment.

Everyone was shocked, who would have thought that the person who asked the question was not only a woman, but also could scare Zhao Cheng, who has always been pampered and domineering, into such a look, everyone's thoughts suddenly drifted from the answer to the questioner, and they guessed her identity.

At this moment, a weak voice suddenly remembered and attracted everyone's attention again.

"I'd like to try and see if I can answer this question!"

Zhou Xuan saluted the old master and said confidently.
