The Bronze Bird Garden is named after the Bronze Bird Terrace, but in fact, there are more than just famous temples such as the Bronze Bird Terrace.

As a royal garden, Tongque Garden covers a wide area, and there are many vacant pavilions and pavilions in it.

On this day, all of them will be vacated as a place for examinations.

Zu Ting obtained a red certificate and was assigned to seat No. 27 in the eighth examination room on the right.

So under the strange gaze of everyone, this old man with not very easy eyes found his seat all the way by asking.

Zu Ting's appearance can't help but attract attention, his hair is gray, his face is full of ravines, he has experienced the vicissitudes of time at a glance, although his clothes are very clean and tidy, but he looks like he has been a few years old, and ordinary scholars have to wear at least a little brighter and decent to participate in such a major examination.

What's more, this old man has to walk with a cane and knock around for a while to discern the direction, isn't it obvious that his eyes are not very good? Such an old man also came to take the exam?

Everyone muttered in their hearts, but no one said anything, the examination is about to start, who cares about someone who has nothing to do with them? It's just that I came across something interesting.

After the search by the public, all the candidates entered the examination room one after another, and Zu Ting groped all the way to find his seat, which was very easy, and it was marked with a number.

Zu Ting muttered his number a few times in his mouth, and after making sure that this was his seat, he sat down.

There were three brushes on the desk, an inkstone, and there was nothing left.

The examination stipulates that the public shall distribute pen, ink, paper and inkstone uniformly, and shall not bring their own, and all the paper issued must be signed and then recycled, which is to prevent someone from cheating.

Each examination room will be invigilated by an examiner, and there will be four public servants patrolling the whole room, which is enough to see that the strictness of the examination is still very high.

Zu Ting is very satisfied with this, how can you test everyone's true level if you are not strict?

What's more, this examination is very important for Zu Ting!

Originally, if Lu Lingxuan hadn't died, he wouldn't have to fight with a bunch of people, and he still had some friendship with Lu Lingxuan, and the reason why he could get out of prison was because Lu Lingxuan guaranteed him to come out.

Lu Lingxuan originally promised to help him return to the court, but then Lu Lingxuan was killed by Jinshang, and the road to return to the court by Lu Lingxuan was broken, so whether he could turn over depends on this time.

Zu Ting had no other feelings except for feeling some pity, originally Lu Lingxuan's woman was very cunning, she could survive and grow gradually under the noses of a picky person like Gao Zhan, and in the end, she controlled the entire harem, she was the only one in thousands of years.

From this, it can be seen how cunning and exquisite Lu Lingxuan is, this is a woman who is very good at playing with power, and she is also very influential to Jinshang, if he wants to gain a firm foothold in the court, he has to deal with Lu Lingxuan.

It's a pity that Lu Lingxuan's stinky girls died, and they still rebelled and were ordered to kill the whole door by his own milk.

Zu Ting was depressed and glad in his heart, depressed that Lu Lingxuan had not succeeded in helping him return to the court and died like this, fortunately, Lu Lingxuan did not have time to stuff himself in front of Jinshang, otherwise he would have to be labeled by Jinshang, maybe Lu Lingxuan would have to die with him.

Lu Lingxuan was smart for a lifetime, but at a critical time, he was confused, and he actually mixed with Gao Yan, no matter how smart this woman is, she is limited......

If she hitched herself up, it would be a big deal. Can Lu Lingxuan's life be as important as his ancestors?

Soon after everyone sat down, the examiner came in through the door, looked around, and shouted, "Silence! The first arithmetic exam will start immediately! ”

One public person held a large pile of paper and handed out the exam papers, and the other public was responsible for handing out a blank piece of paper and a box of calculation chips.

The public handed it out to Zu Ting's table, and Zu Ting showed him the admission certificate, and the public took it right and sent him the name roll.

Then a box of calculation chips was put on Zu Ting's case, and the public put a blank piece of paper in front of him expressionlessly, pointed to the upper left corner of the paper, and said softly: "Write your name and place of origin here, and the paper must not be damaged...... and then left.

The reason why the calculation chips are issued is because this exam is the first arithmetic, and it will be more convenient for students to have a calculation plan to do questions.

However, the attention of the people is not on the stake, but on the paper.

Zu Ting stroked the paper as white as silk, revealing a look of surprise and admiration, there is still such a good paper? According to the duke, it was for them to make drafts.

This paper is as thin as a cicada's wings, as smooth as silk, and very flexible.

Taking such a good paper to them as scratch paper, Rao Yizu has to admire Zu Ting's well-informed, which is really a big deal.

Although the papermaking technology was invented as early as the Eastern Han Dynasty, due to the problem of technology, there are very few good quality papers, most of the workmanship is very rough, and there are often capillary phenomena when writing, and the words written are not good-looking, so even if the paper has been around for so long, people still recognize the silk book and bamboo slips more, and such a good excellent paper is very rare.

There are many people who are also hot, if it weren't for the fact that the paper had to be signed and handed in, they would simply want to keep the paper away, and they would be willing to use it?

But after all, the examination is more important, and people quickly accepted the admiration for the paper and focused their attention on the exam questions.

Just at the first glance, most of the candidates lost their voices, and some candidates were dumbfounded, "This ......"

This era paid more attention to arithmetic than the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many people compiled academic works such as arithmetic during the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the Sui and Tang dynasties.

The Northern and Southern Dynasties was a period of vigorous development of arithmetic, but all those who read books were not averse to arithmetic, at least they would use arithmetic, and they had more or less read some arithmetic works such as "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Sun Tzu Sutra", "Arithmetic Notes", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and some of them had a high level and a wide range of knowledge.

But the vast majority of students have only learned, not proficient, not to mention that there are more than 20 arithmetic questions recorded on this paper! They all need to be answered one by one! And each one is above medium difficulty! The first question is the headache of chickens and rabbits in the same cage!

This made many scholars sweat on their heads. It's really not that easy!

Seeing the noise in this examination room, the examiner frowned and shouted in a low voice:

"Quiet! If you dare to make a noise again, you will be expelled from the examination room and disqualified from the examination! Only then did he barely silence his voice.

Here Zu Ting almost pasted the exam paper on his face, and finally saw the content on it word by word.

"Today, there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty-five heads on the top, and ninety-four feet on the bottom.

Turning his gaze to the next question, "I don't know the number of things today, the remaining two of the three or three numbers, the remaining three of the five or five numbers, and the remaining two of the seven or seven numbers, asking the geometry of the object." ”

Zu Ting's excited hands were almost trembling, forcibly calmed down, and then looked at the next question, "Today there is a chicken Weng one, which is worth five; The hen is one, and it is worth three; Three chicken chicks, worth one, where 100 dollars to buy 100 chickens, ask the chicken Weng mother chicks how ......"

Zu Ting almost couldn't control his laughter, [These topics are not enough, the old man can do them all!] 】
