Chapter 196: Examination (3)
Guan Lehe shook his head slightly, telling him not to worry.
Don't you know that kid is a demon? He is still calm, like middle-aged and elderly people. If he can write with a pen, he must be very sure of the topic, and he doesn't have to think about how to answer the question.
The room was quiet, except for the rustling of leaves in the wind.
Everyone watched Du Jinning write and write, without pausing from beginning to end, and their minds were full of all kinds of speculations. There were some young people who couldn't hold their breath, and they wanted to stand up and walk to Du Jinning's side to see what he was answering. It's just that there are Qi Bokun, Yuan Xiuzhu, Guan Lehe and Yan Songtao and other bigwigs in the room, and they are involved in the disputes between the Guan and Yan families, they don't dare to act rashly, so they have to hold back the scratch in their hearts, sit on the seat and wait quietly.
Yan Cen couldn't hold his breath anymore.
Increasing the amount of arithmetic questions, and even deepening the arithmetic questions, was ordered by Yan Songtao behind his back. This is a great risk, and when the test paper is corrected, it will definitely be shouted, and then there will be a battle of words.
To this extent, if Du Jinning is stumped, it is okay, although he will be blamed for a few words, but the mistakes he made before can be erased; But if Du Jinning is still stumped, then the Yan family's face will be completely disgraced today, and he will inevitably be severely punished by Yan Songtao after he goes back.
He stayed there like a pins and needles, and finally simply stood up, and first confessed to everyone in the room: "So-and-so went to change clothes." When he turned around, the arc of this turn was a little large, and he went around to Du Jinning's side and glanced at his test paper.
Just this glance, Yan Cen almost fainted.
This paper is larger than the general number of questions, even if it is done by the students of Class A, it may not be completed in a pillar of incense; Class B level students can do half of it. After all, not only is the amount there, but the questions are still deep, and you have to think for a while to answer the questions well.
But what did he see now? There is still a small half of the incense, and Du Jinning's paper is almost finished. There are only a few questions left, and with the speed at which Du Jinning answers the questions, it is only a moment's work. In other words, Du Jinning can not only complete all the questions in one pillar of incense, but also have time left, so he can hand in the paper in advance.
How did he do it? Even if he was familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics and their commentaries, he wouldn't be able to write so fast without thinking, right? Unless he can't even read the questions, he can do this by scribbling a few words in the margins of each question, even if he has answered them.
Yes, it must be.
With such self-comfort, Yan Cen suddenly felt better. He excused himself to go to the toilet, so naturally he couldn't look at Du Jinning's test paper and didn't go, so he had to pretend to go out as if nothing happened.
Not long after Yan Cen left, Du Jinning raised his hand: "I'm done." ”
Because they felt uncomfortable after sitting for a long time, everyone who was planning to urinate like Yan Cen was stunned, and everyone looked at the pillar of incense.
I saw that there was still a quarter of the incense stick, and it was swaying and curling with smoke.
"Just, that's it?" One of the gentlemen asked subconsciously, his words full of disbelief.
Yuan Xiuzhu said: "There is still a little time, you don't have to be in such a hurry to hand in the papers." ”
Hearing this, Yan Songtao glanced at him dissatisfiedly: "After the student has finished the exam, he asks to submit the paper in advance, that is, the county exam, the government exam, and the township exam, and there is no reason to refuse to accept it." ”
Du Jinning hurriedly stepped forward with the test paper and explained to Yuan Xiuzhu: "Mr. Yuan, the student is really done. ”
Because the others have been staring at it for a long time, it is inevitable that they are not so closely staring at it in the middle, but Guan Lehe cares about his own disciples firstly, and secondly, it is also about the face of their Guan family, so he naturally pays attention to Du Jinning's movements all the time. He knew that after Du Jinning finished writing, he put down the pen and read the test paper carefully. He was able to hand in the paper in advance, just like the previous test paper, so he naturally felt that he didn't need to change it, and he was sure.
Guan Lehe said loudly: "Now that it's done, let's hand it over." ”
Du Jinning handed the test paper to Qi Bokun, then retreated, returned to his seat and began to sharpen the ink.
Guan Lehe felt sorry for his little disciple and asked her, "Do you want to take a break?" Have a cup of tea and a snack? ”
"Yes, yes, let's have a cup of tea and some snacks." Yuan Xiuzhu also hurriedly said, "These questions are completed in three days in the county examination. You're too tired to do three sets of questions in one hour. Your hands are tired, your brain is also tired, not to mention that you were injured just now, where can your body and bones stand it? ”
As he spoke, he also glanced at Yan Songtao: "Old man Yan, what do you think?" ”
Because Yuan Xiuzhu supported Guan Le and became the mountain chief, he and Yan Songtao have always been at odds, and sometimes the two don't even bother to talk about face. Unless they call each other "sir" in a competition with other colleges, the rest of the time they call each other "old man" and "old man".
Yan Songtao is an old man, although he didn't see how Du Jinning's test paper answered, but he would observe what he said. In the process of doing the questions, Du Jinning didn't even frown, finished the questions smoothly, and handed in the papers in advance; Guan Lehe looked relaxed, which shows that both the master and apprentice feel that there is no difficulty in this test paper. Maybe the test paper for a while will be "excellent" all the way.
Yan Songtao felt that the Yan family would definitely lose in this battle, so he refused to let Du Jinning rest. If Du Jinning is tired, unwell, and performs poorly under the repeated exams, maybe they can get some face back. But if Du Jinning is allowed to eat, drink, rest well, and play well, then the Yan family really has no chance.
However, he didn't say it explicitly, but said to Du Jinning: "There are still two quarters of an hour before school is over, and it doesn't matter if the gentlemen eat and rest later, you can rest the child." Take the test slowly, don't be in a hurry. ”
As soon as he heard this, Yuan Xiuzhu wanted to curse.
What do you mean by "rest"? You said that the gentlemen are going to eat, can Du Jinning still let the gentlemen wait for him hungry? Isn't that a vain disrespect for the elder and disrespectful to Mr.? This big hat is really more serious than failing the exam, and it is also easy to cause gentlemen to be dissatisfied with Du Jinning.
He was about to intercept the words and remind Du Jinning not to fall into this language trap, so he heard Du Jinning say: "Although the students are tired, how can they let the gentlemen delay their rest?" Naturally, it is important to finish the exam early. Thank you Mr. Yuan for your concern, if you don't worry, the students can stand it. ”
She didn't blindly say that she wasn't tired, but that she was tired, but for the sake of gentlemen, no matter how tired she was, she had to finish the exam as soon as possible. This answer made Yuan Xiuzhu twelve points satisfied.
This child is not only a man of conscience, but also a flexible mind, so that he does not let himself suffer in action and words. Well, clever, smart, and a manufacturable material, the old man really didn't mistake him.
