Yesterday, the long case was announced, and Gu Chengyu was ranked first without any surprise, but Gu Wanhua failed. Gu Wanhua had already been mentally prepared for this. When he came, his father did not have high hopes, but just gave instructions
After Gu Wanhua finishes the exam, he will go back early.
Gu Wanhua was very sensible. Maybe he had learned a lesson from what happened last time, or he was thinking about Yanbi at home, so he went back happily this time. When he went back, he was still in the carriage by himself. Gu Chengyu didn't pay attention to him, but he could
I don't want to cause any more trouble, but don't blame him for anything that happens.
Today is the reexamination, the second session of the college examination. The number of people in the examination room is half less than that of the first session. The main tests in this session are classics, strategic questions, arithmetic and a poem. This time Gu Chengyu
Sitting at No. 4, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Xuewen, who was sitting above him. Unexpectedly, the other person was also looking at him, and Chen Xuewen actually smiled at him.
Gu Chengyu felt a little strange. Logically speaking, although the college examination could not be carried out this time, it did not mean that their relationship would be friendly, right? Did Chen Xuewen think that Gu Chengyu had not discovered the secret in the steamed buns? He shook his head and thought about it.
Put it back on the exam paper in front of you.
The test papers had just been handed out. Gu Chengyu took a general look at them first, ignoring the scriptures and policy questions. There was no need to worry about these. He focused on the arithmetic and the test poems. Modern arithmetic cannot be applied to ancient arithmetic, and only ancient formulas can be used.
Algorithm, but the good thing is that there is no process required, just write the answer.
There were two calculations in total. Gu Chengyu focused on the first question, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine cents, seasonal pears can be purchased for one thousand, eleven cents for nine pears, seven pieces of fruit for four cents, what is the price of pears?
?”
Gu Chengyu felt that this question was quite simple. It should be an algebra question from his previous life. He checked the question in his mind and already had the answer in his mind.
After that, he focused on the second question, which was a poem. This question was obviously more difficult than the previous question, "Looking at the seven floors of the towering tower, the red lights are doubling. A total of three hundred and eighty lights.
One, how many lamps are there on the tip?"
Gu Chengyu read it twice. It should be an algebra question, and it's not too difficult.
When he was in private school, Master Wen told him that no matter which exam it was, there would be at most only one arithmetic question. Even if he made a mistake, as long as he wrote the other questions well, he would still be able to pass the exam, but his ranking would not be high.
.It can be seen that literati often despise arithmetic problems and feel that they are insignificant.
Therefore, Master Wen did not teach much arithmetic, and only focused on the Four Books and Five Classics. This may be the idea of most literati in the Dayan Dynasty. However, it is also possible that Master Wen was not proficient in arithmetic, so he was unable to study it in depth.
Teach them.
Fortunately, Gu Chengyu had a foundation in his previous life, otherwise this arithmetic question would have been really troublesome. Unexpectedly, there were two arithmetic questions this time, and Gu Chengyu was a little worried about Sun Xian and the others.
Gu Chengyu paid attention to the last test poem. The title above was "The sky is facing the sea mirror, and the word "year" is written. Gu Chengyu frowned. This poem was not difficult. The sentence "the sky is facing the sea mirror" should have come from the Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty.
Yan Yanzhi's poem, the original meaning of the poem is "The king is above, like the presence of heaven, like the mirror of the sea."
This question is relatively unfamiliar. Gu Chengyu has read it, but he doesn't know if other candidates have read it.
There was no rush in composing the poem. He planned to write down all the previous questions on the scratch paper and fill in the answers at the same time. By the time Gu Chengyu had finished writing the two arithmetic questions, it was time to eat.
The dishes were the same as yesterday, a dish of stir-fried eggplant with minced pork and two white flour steamed buns. In order to be cautious, Gu Chengyu still didn't touch the plate of eggplant, and the two steamed buns were swapped with those in the space.
I went out to the toilet and almost fainted. The weather was hot at the moment, and there were many people going to the toilet all morning. The toilet gave off poisonous gas, which made it difficult for people to get close. Gu Chengyu endured the smell,
He covered his face with a handkerchief, held in his breath and went to the toilet. When he came out, he glanced at the candidates beside the toilet.
Seeing that the other person looked ugly, didn't even need food, and looked so helpless, Gu Chengyu sympathized with him for a few seconds. Alas! Brother, you can only wish for yourself.
I'm secretly glad that I'm no longer in the stinky house. I can still bear the winter, but the summer is simply unbearable and life-threatening. Especially when flies are attracted inside. Even though I ordered mugwort to repel mosquitoes and flies, the buzzing sound is still there.
It makes me want to bang my head. Oh my god! I can’t even think about it.
Gu Chengyu returned to his examination booth, cleaned his hands with clean water, dried them with a handkerchief, and then re-covered the examination papers and scratch paper.
After finishing the math questions, it was time to formulate a test poem. Gu Chengyu thought for a while and wrote on the draft paper, "Ode to Yahui Yan, in the 28th year of Huiming. When looking at the sky, there is an image, and the mirror penetrates the boundless sea."
Writing this, I have to say something. The twenty-eighth year of Huiming refers to the reign name of the current emperor. Today is Emperor Huiming. Today is the twenty-eighth year. The reason why it is usually called Dayan is to commemorate Taizu.
Emperor. Emperor Taizu was Emperor Jiaren. He reigned for thirty-three years. The prince only succeeded to the throne when he was twenty-five years old. He has been on the throne for twenty-eight years now.
When Taizu passed away, Emperor Huiming was so benevolent and filial that he wanted to retain Dayan as the country's name. Both era names can be said, but all the civil and military officials and the common people are used to Dayan.
It's just the year name! However, the 28th year of Huiming written by Gu Chengyu here is also good, but it is used less often than usual.
Gu Chengyu also had his own intention for writing this. Gu Chengyu believed that although Emperor Huiming was mentioned to reflect filial piety, no matter who is the emperor, he would not like it to be mentioned by others all the time as the first one instead of him, right? Here Gu Chengyu
It was a small flattery. Although, the emperor might not know it at all.
This poem took a lot of mental effort. When Gu Chengyu finished writing it, he looked at the time and saw that it was already the second quarter of Shenshi. He checked it again and saw that there were no missing questions, so he rang the small bell next to him.
After pasting up the test paper, Gu Chengyu stood up and stretched his muscles before following the officer out of the examination room. The other candidates were so envious! They were even more serious about poetry! This test paper was really difficult, and many candidates were confused.
In Laos, some candidates didn’t even do the arithmetic questions.
It's just that you can't scream in the examination room, otherwise everyone would have exploded. Isn't this exam much more difficult than in previous years? Everyone thought angrily.
As for Gu Chengyu, people who didn't know him before now know who he is. The news that Gu Chengyu received the imperial edict has been spread widely. Everyone is envious of this matter. No one is surprised to see Gu Chengyu handing in the paper so early.
Anyway, even if he doesn't do well in the exam and doesn't get first place, then the second place will definitely belong to him. Who else dares to take his advantage?
