"PS: I will go out at five o'clock to clear my dad's illegal points. I have no choice but to get up early. I don't want to spend 500 yuan to buy a seat from a scalper."
————The following text————
While the examination was in progress, this year's examination questions were also sent to Chui Gong Hall.
The Emperor of Wei also rarely appeared in the Chui Gong Hall, observing the "B Volume" with Yong Wang Hongyu and the three Zhongshu ministers - because the "A Volume" drafted by the Ministry of Rites had actually been sent as early as March.
The Emperor of Wei came to see it, but this was the first time that the Emperor of Wei saw the "Book B" drafted by His Highness Prince Su.
Zhao Hongrun's reason for this is quite good: to ensure that the test questions are not leaked.
Emperor Wei didn't care much about his son's explanation. After all, his son gradually grew up and became more and more reliable. Although his character was still a bit bad at times, in general, he could be regarded as a good man.
A responsible man.
Therefore, since Emperor Wei appointed Zhao Hongrun as the examiner, he did not have to worry about his son messing up the exam questions - anyway, there would still be a test paper drafted by the Ministry of Rites.
But no matter what, even Emperor Wei was quite interested in the test questions that Zhao Hongrun came up with on a whim. Therefore, he took the test questions to the Chui Gong Hall with the test questions and asked Yong Wang Hongyu and Lin Yuyang to do so.
, Yu Ziqi and Feng Yu, three ministers of Zhongshu, discussed it together.
At first glance, these people were shocked by the difficulty and tricky nature of "Scroll B".
"I'm afraid those who chose Paper B..."
Zhongshu Ling Lin Yuyang looked at the test questions in his hand and smiled bitterly. He really wanted to say the word "most of them were destroyed" because there were some questions on Volume B that even he found difficult to answer.
However, Zhongshu Zuocheng Yu Ziqi didn’t think so. In his opinion, when candidates who chose “Paper B” found that the test questions were too difficult, they would naturally change their answers to “Paper A”. After all, no one among those candidates would judge themselves.
The future career is a joke, but those who still insist on choosing Paper B to answer the questions are nine out of ten well-educated people who have a hundredfold confidence in themselves.
However, he must admit one thing: even if he is a well-educated person who has full confidence in himself, he will probably not be able to get a high score if he chooses to answer Paper B. These questions are really too difficult and too tricky.
"Hey, what is this?...Extra points question?"
At this time, Zhongshu Youcheng Feng Yu noticed that there was a column titled "Extra Points Questions" on the last page of Volume B. Out of curiosity, he took a closer look.
"There are a number of chickens and sheep in the same cage. The heads are counted at twenty-eight and the feet at eighty-eight. Question: How many chickens and sheep are in each cage?"
Emperor Wei, King Yong Hongyu and the three ministers of Zhongshu were no strangers to this question. After all, this question was a typical arithmetic question similar to "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" in the "Suan Jing".
Therefore, after some silent calculations, several people calculated the same answer.
The second question is relatively tricky.
"There is an inn with a number of guests staying at the end of March. Nineteen guests resigned on the first day of April and seventeen more guests checked in on the second day of April. We have learned that there are a total of sixty-three guests in the inn.
:How many guests were in the inn at the end of March?"
After a quick silent calculation, Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Yu Ziqi quickly reported a number.
However, after taking a look at the answer, Feng Yu regretfully said that Yu Ziqi had made a wrong calculation. Not to mention Yu Ziqi was shocked by this, even Emperor Wei, King Yong Hongyu, and Lin Yuyang opened their eyes in disbelief.
eyes.
Zhongshu Zuo Cheng, Yu Zi Qidu, made a miscalculation. Who dares to imagine?
The third question increases the difficulty again based on the first two questions.
"Three people, A, B, and C, traveled together and checked into an inn in the middle of the night. They each paid ten copper coins for a guest room, a total of thirty coins. After collecting the money, the shopkeeper thought that these three people came to invest in the hotel in the middle of the night.
So he decided to reduce the amount by five coins and asked the shopkeeper to return the money to the three customers. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper hid two coins himself and only returned the remaining three coins to A, B and C. In other words,
A, B, and C paid nine copper coins respectively, 3,927, plus the two copper coins hidden by the store clerk, for a total of twenty-nine coins. I asked: Where did that coin go?"
Facing this question, Zhongshu Ling Lin Yuyang and Zhongshu Zuocheng Yu Ziqi were stunned on the spot.
In their opinion, it was true. A, B, and C each initially paid ten copper coins, and later each received one back. In other words, each of them paid nine copper coins, thirty-nine-twenty-seven, plus
The two copper coins that the shop clerk hid privately, aren't these twenty-nine copper coins?
So, where did the last copper coin go?
"It's strange!" Yu Ziqi looked at Lin Yuyang and felt incredible: the thirty copper coins with a clear ins and outs actually lost one and became twenty-nine right under their noses.
The fourth question is the most heartbreaking.
"It is known that a woman is twenty-one years older than her son. Six years later, the woman's age is exactly five times that of her son. Question: Where is her husband?"
When hearing this question, Emperor Wei, King Yong Hongyu, Lin Yuyang, and Feng Yu all felt incredible.
Logically speaking, this question should be about calculating the age of the woman or her son, but it turned out that the question was "Where is her husband?" Can this be calculated?
"Is there a mistake? Or Master Feng, did you pronounce it wrong?" Yong Wang Hongyu asked with a frown.
After hearing this, Emperor Wei, Lin Yuyang, and Yu Ziqi also looked at Feng Yu suspiciously.
As a result, after Feng Yu took a look at the answer, he said with a strange expression: "This question... is not wrong, and I have not read it wrong. Indeed, well, it is indeed possible to calculate where her husband... is."
However, no matter how he insisted on his statement, Emperor Wei, King Yong Hongyu, Lin Yuyang, and Yu Ziqi did not believe it at all, and they were relieved until they saw the answer with their own eyes.
Feeling relieved, they were convinced by the test questions recalled by a certain Prince Su.
To be fair, if you ask them to recall the answer after knowing the answer, "Book B" is actually not difficult, but it is too tricky. If you are not careful, you will often fall into a trap and be led by a certain Prince Su.
"I really don't know how Hongrun came up with such tricky test questions..."
Holding Volume B in hand, he read it again. Emperor Wei shook his head with a wry smile. He believed that many candidates would fail on Volume B this year.
Just as Emperor Wei guessed, in the examination room in the Confucius Temple, those students who claimed to be smart and talented, out of pride in their hearts, initially chose Paper B to answer the questions, but they were deceived by the tricky questions.
With a pale face, he finally changed his answer to Paper A in despair.
There aren't many people who really persevere from beginning to end.
Of course, there were some smart people among them who decided to answer questions from two test papers at the same time - although Du You, the Minister of Rites, said that he only needed to choose one test paper to answer the questions, he did not say what would happen if he relied on two test papers.
What about extra points?
As a result, those truly knowledgeable people, after quickly answering Paper A, picked up Paper B again and considered their answers carefully.
Even He Xinxian took the ranking into consideration, and when he encountered obstacles on the way to answer Paper B, he answered Paper A first.
Jie Zizi, Tang Ju, etc. are all like this.
While these people were mesmerized by the B-book, Zhao Hongrun, who felt sleepy after sitting for a long time, also got up and patrolled the examination room.
Watching those test takers flexing their fingers and sweating profusely, Zhao Hongrun's evil taste was greatly satisfied.
After being satisfied, Zhao Hongrun walked towards Wen Qi. After all, he thought, it was time for Wen Qi to take action.
In fact, Zhao Hongrun also saw Wen Qi's move of deliberately leaving the bun behind, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with the bun. After all, this move was too conspicuous. Even if the Green Crows didn't notice it, they would be noticed by those nearby.
The examinee found out and reported Wen Qi.
Therefore, Wenqi's actions were probably to test the vigilance of the invigilators.
However, just as Zhao Hongrun was walking towards Wenqi's seat, he was attracted by the test paper of a test taker.
This test taker is very extraordinary. He was able to answer "losing two taels" on the question "Buying and selling pigs", which made Zhao Hongrun feel incredible. "Note: The key to this question is to adopt the businessman's approach."
Thinking, that is, starting from "profit maximization". The author thought about the answer for a long time before he figured it out.』
You know, without some business experience, it is almost impossible to come up with this answer.
Thinking of this, Zhao Hongrun picked up the examination card that the student placed on the desk and carefully looked at the candidate's name and nationality.
"Shangshui County, Jiezi... are they from Chu?"
Putting the examination card in his hand back into the distance, Zhao Hongrun looked at the meson owl for a few times in surprise, and suddenly asked: "Have you ever been in business?"
At this time, because the person he hoped to be loyal to was standing next to him, Jie Zizi was inevitably a little nervous. He sat up straight. Especially when Zhao Hongrun picked up the test card on his desk, Jie Zizi's heart was pounding.
, although he didn’t know exactly what was going on.
After hearing Zhao Hongrun ask, he quickly replied: "Yes. I have had several years of business experience with my sworn brother."
"No wonder……"
Zhao Hongrun suddenly understood and nodded.
Since this meson owl had been in business, no wonder he could come up with the answer "losing two taels". So he bent down and looked at the meson owl's answer to each question.
What surprised Zhao Hongrun was that the accuracy rate of Jie Ziyu's B volume was actually 50%.
Don't think that 50% is very low. In fact, this is already great. After all, some questions on Paper B are quite crazy even in Zhao Hongrun's opinion. For example, the question "Funeral Ceremony" cannot be answered by ordinary people. Another example is
Let’s talk about the last question of the extra point question.
At this moment, Onsaki, who was in the front seat, raised his hand again.
"What's wrong?" A moment later, the Green Crow came over again and asked impatiently.
It's no wonder, after all, Wenqi has gone to Gongsuo several times in the past few hours.
"I want to go out." Wen Qi didn't care about the weird looks from the people around him.
The Green Crow had no choice but to take Wenqi to Gongsuo.
Looking at Wen Qi's leaving figure, Zhao Hongrun had an inexplicable smile on his lips.
Just as Wen Qi guessed, Zhao Hongrun was sure of winning this bet. The reason was very simple, because the environment of this test was very unfavorable for cheating.
More importantly, Zhao Hongrun could roughly guess the approach Wen Qi might take.
