Chapter 17: Four Paths

"This female doll, the poetry level is five grades, but ......," Meng Lao sighed, "Her arithmetic and chess skills, the old man is in this position, and the young man with a high talent in chess and arithmetic has seen a lot, but I have never seen her so strong." ”

Li Lao's eyebrows furrowed: "Didn't she solve all the arithmetic problems that the champion building broke through?"

March 3 champion building nine questions.

Couplet for the entry, poetry for the first card, arithmetic for the second card, calligraphy, chess for the last card, Dali people come to the champion building to see the new temple students break through, the most interested in addition to the beginning of the couplet, the second poem, is this arithmetic.

Because arithmetic, unlike poetry, it does not require much knowledge, only tests people's logic, and most tests a person's mental operation.

"If it was just a solution, it would be fine, but she also came up with a problem, which stumped us. Meng Lao sighed.

"Even you can't do it?" Li Lao was surprised.

Meng Lao's real name is 'Meng Shusheng', the word follows Confucianism, and he is the first saint of the three saints in the Dali literary circle.

"It's not that I can't do it, but what's the use of me doing it?" Meng Lao smiled bitterly, if Meng Lao made it, the answer would be fraud, Meng Lao studied the sage books hard, and he would not do such a shameful thing.

"That's right. Li Lao also nodded.

Even if Meng Lao really does this, won't the little girl come up with the second question, and the third question will be studied in person, and then the answer to the question will be leaked if she can't answer it.

"This little girl is completely a slap in the face. Duan Lao laughed.

"Well, this slap in the face really hurts Tianlong Temple. Zhang Lao sighed.

On the third day of March, the students of the last phase of the Dragon Temple were admitted to the new temple, but as soon as this little girl came, she was completely slapped in the face of the questioner, and you can't solve the question he asked, she can solve the question you made, what are you still showing off here?

And she's only eleven or twelve, and you're in your twenties.

It can be said that even if the last temple students failed in the exam, the new temple students of the previous phase who took the exam questions did not have any sense of achievement, but were equally disgraced.

"I've heard of Gao Shengtai's granddaughter, but I didn't expect her to be so smart. Duan Lao sighed and said with a smile, "It's okay now, the limelight of the entire Tianlong Temple has been suppressed by her girl." ”

"Actually, I said, Gao Shengtai has gone too far. Meng Lao said.

"Hmm. Zhang Lao also nodded, "His Gao family's reputation in Dali is already high enough, but he is not satisfied, and even Tianlong Temple has to intervene in the recruitment of temple students, which is indeed excessive." ”

Li Lao snorted: "He is a high family, I think he just wants to be the emperor, Lao Duan, you are smaller." ”

"Be careful of what?" Duan Lao smiled, "Although the Gao family is famous, it is deserved, I believe that the Gao family is a loyal minister." His eyes looked downstairs and said with a smile, "It's this time that Gao Mingzhen has stolen the limelight, and I'm afraid that this new monk will be under a lot of pressure in the future!"

"If it's just pressure, it's good, the key is face! My face of Tianlong Temple!" Li Lao said in a deep voice, "Now, I only hope that the few new temple students who haven't come later can produce one or two demons." ”

Lao Li is right. Zhang Lao laughed, "Now look at Duan Haifeng and their batch, there seem to be four scholars in their batch, as long as one of these scholars can solve the girl's question and suppress her limelight, although her face is also damaged, it will be good!"

Everyone also nodded, the world's affairs are often the first to occupy eighty percent of the attention, as long as someone can suppress Gao Mingzhen today, no matter who it is, at least the focus of the people's discussion will gather on that person, although there are a lot of talking about Gao Mingzhen, but the impact is much smaller in comparison.

As he spoke, Zhang Lao, who was sitting by the window, suddenly glanced downstairs, and his eyes lit up.

"These kids are moving pretty fast, they've all arrived. Zhang Lao said.

Below, Guan Shihao, Duan Wubing, and more than 20 other people all arrived near the Zhuangyuan Altar at this time.

"Well, it's her?" Qin Chao's eyes suddenly fell on the back of a woman in white who was playing chess, "Playing chess?" this Gao Ming is really smart, playing chess here, it seems that he is here to make trouble." Qin Chao just smiled and glanced at Gao Mingzhen, and was pulled by Guan Shihao and others to crowd up to the Zhuangyuan Altar.

"Under Zhang Pengyang!"

"My name is Qu Youfeng......!

"I, Duan Haifeng, have seen Brother Pengyang, Brother Feng!"

Qin Dynasty, Qin Long, Qin Hu, Qin Qi, and Qin Shu greeted each other, and at the same time, the new temple students also introduced their names, and it didn't take long for them to become somewhat familiar.

"Hi, brothers. ”

Hu Qingxiu, who had the loudest voice, said, "Now there are nine major questions in the Zhuangyuan Building, and we have passed four questions, as well as 3 arithmetic, 1 calligraphy, and one chess game." ”

"Four ways, so the poems have passed?" Guan Shihao interjected, he was the best at poetry, and naturally he cared the most.

"It's nature. Many teenagers laughed, compared to arithmetic, most of them have some skills in poetry, and Hu Qingxiu pointed to the young man with a slightly cold expression next to him and said, "This level of poetry is our big brother Lu Baojia to break through, haha, big brother Lu Baojia's poems have reached the fourth grade." ”

"Four products?" Guan Shihao raised his eyebrows.

Zhang Jiucai, Yang Qixian, Wang Zhonghe, and Duan Changye all glanced at Nalu Baojia.

"It's good to be able to reach four grades. Zhang Jiucai said, but although he praised in his words, his tone was indifferent.

"I ate too much today, my head is a little dizzy, and my appearance is not good, otherwise I will ......" Lu Baojia said lightly, his eyebrows shrugged slightly, "But the four products are barely enough." He glanced at Zhang Caijiu, "I'm at this level, and the rest is up to you newcomers!"

"Well said. Yang Qixian said with a smile.

In addition to Lu Baojia, Nangongzhong's poems have also reached the fifth grade. Wei Shuang interjected, his eyebrows fluttering, "And he is not only poetic in Nangong, but also one of the headache-making arithmetic problems that he solved." ”

"Oh?" Guan Shihao looked at Nangong Zhong, his poetry was good, but he had a headache when he saw numbers, and he paid special attention to this ability to solve arithmetic problems.

"I'm lucky that I happened to have done something similar to that before. Nangong Zhong, who is not tall, said with a smile.

"No matter what the reason, being able to solve an arithmetic problem is worthy of my admiration!" Guan Shihao is very affectionate, and many teenagers look at Nangong Zhong with the same different eyes, people are like this, the field they are familiar with, often no matter how good others are, they don't admire, unfamiliar, others feel very powerful if they have a little achievement.

"Huh?" Qin Chao looked at Nangong Zhong, and he could see that there was a trace of depression in Nangong Zhong's eyebrows.

"Luomo?" Qin Dynasty was confused, the first level is poetry, the third level is calligraphy and chess, poetry is a must learn in this era, and this is what you learn in a private school, so for the new temple students, it is not a big problem at all, almost every issue has poetry to pass, but the next arithmetic.

At this time, unlike later generations, mathematics was the most advanced and highly valued.

Most of the scholars, they don't learn much arithmetic, and they are all very simple, so those who can have strong talents in arithmetic are often called prodigies, and the level of arithmetic in Tianlong Temple is also the most valued.

After all, in the calligraphy and chess game behind, it is almost impossible for anyone to pass the test.

"This Nangong can solve an arithmetic problem, which is very remarkable in this period of temple students, how can it be ashamed to be silent. The Qin Dynasty was puzzled.

"Champion Building. Yang Qixian said, "If you pass the poem, you can basically pass, and if you solve an arithmetic problem, it is good, I originally thought that all four questions were ...... I didn't expect Brother Nangong that you also know arithmetic, well, I also learned a little, and it's hard to say if you can solve the remaining questions. ”

"Qixian, don't talk about it, look at the question first, I hope it's not too difficult. Zhang Jiucai smiled and said, he is also an all-rounder, not only poetry, but also actuarial.

"Yes, let's look at the question first!" Yang Qixian said.

The exam questions of the champion building are written on the list floor on both sides of the champion altar, Zhang Jiucai, Yang Qixian all rushed to the south of the list building, Qin Dynasty, Wang Zhonghe, Duan Changye also followed.

"Hmm, nine chapters of arithmetic?"

Qin Chao just looked at it, and immediately became a little happy.

I saw a column of fist-sized upright italic characters on the red paper on the wall of the list, and the first column on the left read:

"The wall is five feet thick, and the two rats wear it together. Rats are one foot a day, and mice are also one foot a day. Rats are doubled daily, and mice are doubled daily. Q: When will we meet?

"I didn't expect it to be the question in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic". Qin Chao calculated slightly in his heart.

This question is called 'Two Rats Through the Wall'.

The inscription is a wall with a thickness of five feet, and two rats of the same size make holes from both sides of the wall at the same time, along a straight line. The rat made 1 foot on the first day and made twice as much progress as the previous day each day, and the mouse also scored 1 foot on the first day, and the progress of the subsequent day was half that of the previous day. How many days can they meet, and how many goals do they score when they meet?

This question was also a very interesting intellectual problem in his previous life, although Qin Dynasty did not calculate it, but only skimmed that there was such a problem, but after all, he had been influenced by mathematics in his previous life.

Squinting his eyes and calculating, it didn't take long for him to have the answer in his mind.

"Brother Haifeng, is there an answer to this question?" At this time, Qin Long next to him squeezed over and raised his eyebrows at Qin Chaoyi and asked with a smile.
