Chapter 86: Re-examination
Yesterday, a long case was issued, and Gu Chengyu was the first place without surprise, but Gu Wanhua fell off the list. In this regard, Gu Wanhua had already been mentally prepared, when he came, his father didn't report much hope, but just told Gu Wanhua to go back early after the exam.
Gu Wanhua knows each other very well, maybe he learned a lesson from the last time, or he is thinking about Yanbi at home, so he went back very happily this time. When he went back, he was still in Gu's carriage, Gu Chengyu didn't pay attention to him, he didn't want to make any more trouble, but don't be at that time, he will be blamed for anything that happens.
Today is the second session of the re-examination, the college examination, and the number of people in the examination room at this time is less than the first. This one mainly tests the scriptures, questions, arithmetic and a poem. This time Gu Chengyu sat on the fourth dry word, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Xuewen at the top, but he didn't expect that the other party was also looking at him at this time, and Chen Xuewen actually smiled at him.
Gu Chengyu felt a little strange, it stands to reason that although this college exam can't be started, it doesn't mean that their relationship can be friendly, right? Did Chen Xuewen still think that Gu Chengyu hadn't discovered the secret in the steamed bun? He shook his head and returned his mind to the exam paper in front of him.
The exam paper had just been sent, Gu Chengyu first glanced up and down, and ignored the scriptures and questions, don't worry about these, he focused on arithmetic and test poems. Ancient arithmetic cannot be applied to modern formulas, only ancient algorithms, but fortunately, there is no need for a process, just write the answer.
There are two calculations in total, Gu Chengyu put his eyes on the first question, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan, buy one thousand seasonal pear fruits, nine eleven pears, seven fruits and four yuan, how much does the pear fruit cost?" ”
Gu Chengyu felt that this question was simple, this should be the algebra problem in his previous life, he checked the question in his heart, and he already had the answer in his heart.
After that, I turned my attention to the second question, which is a poem, which is obviously more difficult than the previous question, "Looking at the seven floors of the tower, the red light multiplies. There are three hundred and eighty-one lights in total, how many lights are there? ”
Gu Chengyu read it twice, this should still be an algebra problem, but it is not too difficult.
When he was in a private school, Master Wen told him that no matter what the exam was, there would be only one arithmetic question at most. Even if you write it wrong, as long as the others are well written, you can pass the test, but the ranking will not be high. It can be seen that the literati often despised arithmetic problems and felt that they were insignificant.
Therefore, Wen Fuzi did not teach much arithmetic, and only focused on the Four Books and Five Classics, which may be the idea of most literati in the Dayan Dynasty. However, it is also very likely that Wen Fuzi is not proficient in arithmetic, so he cannot teach them in depth.
Fortunately, Gu Chengyu has the foundation of his previous life, otherwise this arithmetic problem would be really nerve-wracking. Unexpectedly, there were two arithmetic questions this time, and Gu Chengyu was a little worried about Sun Xian and them.
In the final test poem, Gu Chengyu paid attention to it, and the title on it was written as "Tianlinhai Mirror, Deutt Year". Gu Chengyu frowned, the difficulty of this poem is not small, this sentence "Heavenly Mirror of the Sea" should be from the poem of Yan Yanzhi of the Southern Dynasty Song Dynasty, the original poem means "The king of man is above, like the presence of the sky, like the mirror of the sea".
This question is relatively obscure, Gu Chengyu has read these, but I don't know if other candidates have read it.
There is no hurry to conceive the poem, he is going to write down all the previous questions on scratch paper first, and fill in all the answers by the way. When Gu Chengyu finished writing the two arithmetic questions, it was time to eat.
It's the same as yesterday's dish, a dish of fried meat foam with eggplant and two white flour steamed buns. In order to be cautious, Gu Chengyu still didn't move the plate of eggplant, and the two steamed buns were also reversed from the space.
I went out to a toilet and almost didn't get fainted. It's a hot day, and there are quite a few people who go to the latrine in the morning, and the latrine emits a toxic gas that makes it difficult to approach. Gu Chengyu endured the smell, covered his face with a handkerchief, and went to the toilet with a breath, and glanced at the candidates by the toilet when he came out.
I saw that the other party was ugly, and he didn't even have food, and that face was loveless, which made Gu Chengyu sympathize with him for a few seconds. Alas! Brother, you can only ask for more blessings.
Secretly glad that he was not in the stink, he could still bear it in winter, but he couldn't bear it in summer, and he was going to die. In particular, there were flies inside, although the wormwood that repelled mosquitoes and flies was lit, but the buzzing sound made people want to hit their heads. Oh, my God! I can't think about it.
Gu Chengyu went back to his own examination booth, cleaned his hands with clean water, and wiped his hands dry with a handkerchief, and then re-laid the exam papers and scratch paper.
After the math problem is written, it is time to come up with a test poem. Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and wrote on the scratch paper, "Ode to Yayuyan, the twenty-eighth year of Huiming." There is an image in the sky, and the mirror is boundless through the sea. ”
Writing this, I have to say a word. The twenty-eighth year of Huiming refers to the name of the year of today's saint, and it is Emperor Huiming today, and it is now twenty-eight years. The reason why it is called Dayan on weekdays is because it commemorates Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu was Emperor Jiaren, who reigned for thirty-three years, and the crown prince only succeeded to the throne at the age of twenty-five, and has now succeeded to the throne for twenty-eight years.
When Taizu died, Emperor Huiming was benevolent and filial, and said that he would keep Dayan as the national name. And both kinds of era names can be said, but from the civil and military officials to the common people of Limin, they are all used to the era name of Dayan! However, the twenty-eight years of Huiming that Gu Chengyu wrote here are also good, but they are used less often than usual.
For writing like this, Gu Chengyu still has his own intentions. Gu Chengyu believes that although Emperor Huiming is said to embody filial piety, no matter who is the emperor, he doesn't like others to keep mentioning the first term, not him, right? Here Gu Chengyu is also a little fart. Although, it is possible that the emperor did not know at all.
It took a lot of brainpower to write the poem this time, and when Gu Chengyu finished writing, when he looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the hour. He checked it and saw that there was no missing question, so he rang the small bell next to him.
After pasting the test papers, Gu Chengyu stood up and moved his muscles, and then went out of the examination room with the errand officer. The other candidates are really envious and jealous! They are still more honest in their poetry! This exam paper is really difficult, many candidates are scratching their ears and cheeks, and some candidates don't even do arithmetic questions.
It's just that the examination room can't wail, otherwise everyone would have exploded a long time ago. This exam is much more difficult than in previous years, right? Everyone thought indignantly.
As for Gu Chengyu, I didn't know him before, but now I know who he is, and the news that Gu Chengyu received the holy decree has been spread all over the world. Everyone was envious of this, and everyone was not surprised to see Gu Chengyu hand in the papers so early, anyway, even if he didn't do well in the exam and couldn't get the first place, the second place would definitely be his, who else would dare to take the edge?
