Chapter 232: Enter Beijing, Catch the Exam!
Liu Yan heard the conversation between Xiang Yan and Xiang Yuyue, and immediately smiled.
"They came to Beijing to take the exam."
Because they have known each other for a long time, although Liu Yan and Xiang Yan have a relationship between superiors and subordinates, they are not so restrained, so when talking, Liu Yan is sometimes very open.
Xiang Yan didn't care much about this, so she asked Liu Yandao suspiciously.
"Rushing to Beijing to take the exam?"
"Isn't the imperial examination generally spring? Now it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, what else are they going to take the exam? ”
"Didn't you prepare half a year in advance?"
"That's too early."
Liu Yan looked at Xiang Yan and smiled.
"No, Childe, have you forgotten, there is also a very important exam to be held in Luoyang recently."
"That's your college entrance exam."
Xiang Yan suddenly realized.
It turned out that he didn't come for the imperial examination, but for his own university!
It's no wonder that Xiang Yan couldn't think of this for a while.
After all, he is not the kind of person who is arrogant, and he does not understand that he has such influence now.
I didn't think of this for a while, but I also had a feeling of being obscured.
Xiang Yuyue glanced not far away, a foreigner who seemed to be negotiating with the villagers and wanted to stay overnight.
I muttered to myself.
"Then it seems that most of the people who came for Xiang Yan's entrance exam are children from poor families."
After all, if there is money in the family, then he must live in Luoyang City.
Living in such a suburban village must also be mainly to save money.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no children from wealthy families to take the test.
It's just that they all live in an inn in Luoyang City, and Xiang Yan can't see it.
Xiang Yan listened to Xiang Yuyue's muttering, but she didn't care about it.
"Only the children of poor families are good."
"The country is the country of the vast number of ordinary people."
"And not some rich people, the country of big families!"
The lunch at the village chief's house was not bad.
Although they are all ordinary ingredients, they do not have the rare game in the Yuxiang Building.
But the victory is that the craftsmanship is good and the skills are skilled.
So it also has a different flavor.
When you come to someone's house for dinner, it is naturally impossible to say that there is a situation where a separate table is opened.
Naturally, I ate it with the village chief's family.
When he was full of wine and food, Xiang Yan expressed his gratitude to the village chief, and then asked Liu Yan to give the village chief a little food money to express his gratitude.
The village chief was immediately flattered and refused to accept it.
"Our entire village has been assigned to the lord as a food estate, then you are my master!"
"It's already a great favor for you to come to the house for a meal, so how can I collect money from you."
"You're not tormenting me, are you!"
Since the village chief is so insistent, Xiang Yan will not do anything to force him.
I was already disturbing myself when I was eating here, so I should leave as soon as possible.
But Xiang Yuyue had to take a short nap when she was full, and she refused to move.
So I had no choice but to disturb the village chief at his house for a while.
Just wait for Xiang Yuyue to take a nap and leave.
The village chief himself still has some things, so he left his children to take care of Xiang Yan and the others.
If you say that you have any instructions, just tell the child, just like calling your own doorman, and you don't need to be polite.
Xiang Yan naturally wouldn't let them do anything.
It's just that the children of the village chief's family are not as reserved as the adults.
The third son of the village chief, about eleven or twelve years old, opened his big clear eyes, with curiosity and doubts, and he also talked to Xiang Yan well.
"Master, I heard my father say that you are Xiang Yan, could it be that Xiang Yan who issued the newspaper?"
Xiang Yan is only about twenty years old, and it still feels strange to be called a master.
But the relationship with this village is indeed inappropriate, so it is not appropriate to call it others, so I didn't let the child change his words.
Instead, he replied to the third son of the village chief.
"That's right, it's down there."
Xiang Yan showed a kind smile to the village chief's son.
The village chief's son suddenly showed a surprised expression.
"Since you publish the newspaper, what about the math problems in the newspaper are what you left?"
Xiang Yan said.
"Although the article was written by Princess Yuanhua, it is right to say that it was a question left by me, to some extent."
The village chief's son was even happier.
"Then you must know how to solve those problems?"
Xiang Yan nodded.
The village chief's son immediately said.
"Can you teach the puppy then?"
"The problems in the later issues of the newspaper are very difficult, and the puppy can't solve them."
"But it's not quite right to say that you can't explain it, because it is said that some of those knowledge are not very well understood."
"The puppy asked the brother next door, but the brother next door didn't understand."
Then the brother next door asked some other brothers in the same village who were his age.
"As a result, no one understands."
"Then the brother next door went to Mr. Lu with a puppy, and wanted to ask Mr. Lu how to understand that knowledge."
"Unexpectedly, he was scolded by Mr. Lu, and scolded him twice, saying that he didn't study well."
"That's why the puppy is in trouble these days!"
Xiang Yan listened to it, and probably knew that this puppy should be someone's nickname or something.
And he said to the son of the village chief.
"But if I tell him how to solve the problem, wouldn't it be unfair to other people who have studied hard?"
"And being able to do those questions in the newspaper is just to get a ticket."
"If you really want to go to university, you have to pass the entrance exam."
"So there's no point in taking shortcuts in newspaper titles."
"It's better to go back and study those articles in a down-to-earth manner, so that you can really master that knowledge."
"I really know, so I'm not afraid of any test."
The village chief's son said.
"But the puppy is illiterate, and now he can only rely on the brother next door to read articles to him, so as to understand and solve those after-school exercises."
As soon as Xiang Yan heard about this situation, she immediately learned about what had happened.
After listening to the experience, I was suddenly surprised.
So he asked the village chief's son to call the man who called the puppy.
When the old farmer's little grandson arrived, Xiang Yan asked him when he started learning to read and write, and then how he learned mathematics.
After testing his knowledge in the newspaper for two more points, he immediately confirmed that this was the kind of student he was looking for!
It's a pity that I'm still too young to even know a word.
After thinking about it, Xiang Yan asked the village chief's son to find the newspapers with mathematical knowledge, and then explained them to the old farmer's grandson one by one.
During the explanation, Xiang Yan did not avoid the village chief's son, and even took the initiative to let him call anyone who was interested in this knowledge to listen.
Then the sons of the village chief's family all came to listen, regardless of whether they understood it or not.
And Xiang Yan didn't care, so she just returned the favor.
