Including Shen Qiutan, there are still six challengers. They sat in front of the nine desks together with the top three who were originally guarding the platform.

Because he was kneeling and sitting, it was very uncomfortable, and Shen Qiutan only hoped that the eunuch would come up with the question sooner.

The eunuch sharpened his voice and said in a loud voice: "The first question, measure the depth of a well with a rope." The rope is folded three times, and there are five feet outside the well, and if it is folded four times, there is one foot outside the well. Q, the depth of this well. ”

It turned out to be a three-fold well, and Shen Qiutan lifted the pen and did it overnight.

Although she still can't write a lot of words, a few numbers are still fine.

The rest of the ladies wrote their answers unevenly, and soon, the second question began.

"There are pheasants in the same cage, there are thirty-five on the top, and ninety-four feet on the bottom, ask, what is the pheasant rabbit?"

It turned out to be the question of pheasants and rabbits in the same cage, a classic classic, and naturally Shen Qiutan couldn't help it.

……

In this way, as soon as the eunuch came up with ten questions in a row, a palace maid came to collect the papers.

The questions and answers were prepared earlier, and the literate eunuch only had to count them according to the answers, and the results would soon be available.

However, looking at the scroll with the name written, the eunuch hesitated.

His soft eyes are not dazzling, how can a fool get ten questions right?

Could it be that she had known the answer earlier?

But how is that possible? If the answer is leaked out, the first thing the eldest princess can't spare is herself.

The eunuch called another eunuch, and then called a literate palace maid, and after confirming it repeatedly, he whipped up the dust and said in a loud voice: "In this arithmetic challenge, Miss Wang Wu and Miss Guo are seven out of ten, ranking third; Huang Er, nine out of ten, ranked second; Shen Jiu girl, ten questions and ten pairs, ranked first. ”

The eunuch's voice was long, and before the results were announced, each stage had to beat the gong to signal, yes, there are many people waiting to announce the results of arithmetic.

As soon as the eunuch said this, many people immediately couldn't sit still.

Not to mention Shen Qiujin and Shen Qiuqi in the audience, how surprised they were, even there were doubts on the stage; Liu Wanyan stared at Shen Qiutan with a pair of eyes, her face was full of unwillingness, she also participated in the arithmetic competition just now, and she didn't even get the top three in the basic competition. Why is this Shen Qiutan who suddenly appeared?

"Dare to ask this father-in-law, this test paper ...... Maybe I'll borrow it, especially Miss Shen Jiu, the first one. "Huang Er, the second girl who won the second, her full name is Huang Xinyue, her father is the son of the country who is the priest of wine, and she is quite famous in Daning.

The eunuchs exchanged glances at each other, and changed to someone else, maybe it wouldn't work, but this Shen Jiu girl's volume? It should be okay to think about it.

Yes, Shen Qiutan's test paper was in Huang Xinyue's hands, Huang Xinyue frowned, and was snatched by Wang Yunfei.

Although the words are not good-looking, they are also horizontal and vertical, and I got three questions wrong, namely......

Miss Wang really looked at her wrong question, but Huang Xinyue's face changed a few times, and finally couldn't help but say: "You can't even write well, how can you be so proficient in arithmetic?" Say, how do you cheat? ”

It doesn't matter if she loses, but she can't bear to lose to a big fool. If you endure it, you will lose not only your own face, but also your father's.

Shen Qiutan took the second jade plaque that won the first place, and then turned his head casually and said to Huang Xinyue: "Who stipulates that you must write well to be proficient in arithmetic, besides, if you can't write well now, it doesn't mean that you won't be able to write well in the future!" Hey, who told me to be young! ”

Shen Qiutan jumped off the stage, walked around, and figured out what competition to participate in next, before turning back and saying to Huang Xinyue, who was still standing on the stage: "I am young, but I also saw that my father was a director back then, and everything is evidenced, if there is no evidence, it is called slander." ”

Shen Qiutan paused, admired Huang Xinyue's face for a while, and then said: "My mother said that most of the people who slander others are out of jealousy, and they are jealous of the worst women's virtues. ”

There was silence all around, and this orphan girl without a father and mother really dared to say anything.

"Miss Huang's family history, Shen is not talented, waiting for the girl's next challenge."

"Stop!" Huang Xinyue's face kept changing, and finally her eyes lit up: "Even so, you don't have to wait for the next time, you can be willing to compete with me again now, I'll ask the question first!" ”

Shen Qiutan thought for a while: "I still want to participate in other competitions, but Miss Huang is dedicated to learning...... Okay, please Miss Huang hurry up. ”

The crowd was in high spirits.

Huang Xinyue puffed herself up, and said in a deep voice: "You and I can solve the rope logging, but can you solve the Nine Palaces?" Do you know the Pythagorean algorithm? ”

There was a sound of Weng Weng around, which was inevitably too difficult, even the adults and ladies sitting in the hall didn't necessarily know, right?

Shen Qiutan didn't hesitate: "Two or four is the shoulder, six or eight is the foot, the left seven is the right three, and the nine shoes are one, which is the correct solution for the nine palaces." The Pythagorean chapter of "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" has clouds: Hook three strands, four Xuanwu. ”

There was a sound of inhalation all around, but Shen Qiutan knew that among this group of noble women, I am afraid that there are few who can really understand.

Seeing that Huang Xinyue was a little lost and depressed, Shen Qiutan smiled and said: "It's okay to come and be rude, if you don't ask the question, you will look down on Miss Huang!" ”

Huang Xinyue looked up.

"Listen up: everyone in the world thinks that it is easy to get started with arithmetic, but Shen thinks that it is not difficult to be profound, but it is the most difficult to apply. In order to put what I have learned into practice, I asked a ...... Simple ......"

The movement of guns and cannons was really noisy, not only attracting most of the attention, but also the eldest princess of Longqing was also secretly watching, as well as the gentleman on the other side and the half-asleep person.

Huang Xinyue swallowed her saliva, simple? What makes it easy......

Shen Qiutan smiled slightly, looking a little cunning: "Well, dare to ask Miss Huang, there is an arc field today, twenty steps to the string, and fifteen steps to the arrow." Q: Geometry for the field? ”

Huang Xinyue took a pen, but she didn't know how to put it down, Arc Tian ...... What exactly is the arc field?

Shen Qiutan asked again: "There is also an arc field, one of the seventy-eight steps and two steps of the string, and seven of the thirteen steps and nine steps of the arrow." Q: Geometry for the field? ”

Huang Xinyue said: "Why is it Arc Tian again? Are you making a fool of yourself? ”

"Hey, Miss Huang's rice can be eaten indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, there was a sage in the arc field circle more than a hundred years ago who had already come to an accurate conclusion, where do I dare to ask questions indiscriminately?"

Everyone was silent, speculating about which sage she was talking about more than a hundred years ago.

Seeing that Huang Xinyue bit her lip and was silent, Shen Qiutan said in her heart that it was better to simply break this competition, she had to participate in other competitions, and couldn't help but continue: "In this case, I will ask Miss Huang again, do you know the height of Tianzhu Mountain?" How much sand does the river carry in the long river? ”

As soon as these words came out, Weng Weng's voice was endless.

Tianzhu Mountain is the highest mountain in Daning, unclimbable, how to measure? The long river is the longest river in Daning, which runs through the entire territory of Daning, who can measure it?

"How can this be solved, this little girl is young, but she has a lot of thoughts, this is obviously a difficult statement!"

"That's it!"

"It can't be just a mouthful of words, right?"

Even if there are many Daning Academies now, Guozijian is still a dream place for scholars, this orphan daughter of the Shen family actually bullied the daughter of Huang Saijiu?

Someone on the other side shouted.
