The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 249
The long case was released yesterday, Gu Chengyu was no.1 without a surprise, but Gu Wanhua failed the list.For this, Gu Wanhua had long been mentally prepared. When he came, his master didn't expect much, but just told Gu Wanhua to go back early after the exam.

Gu Wanhua is very sensible, maybe because he learned a lesson from the last time, or because he was thinking about Yanbi at home, he went back very readily this time.When he went back, he was still taking care of the carriage by himself, Gu Chengyu didn't pay attention to him, he didn't want to get into trouble again, but don't blame him for anything that happens.

Today is the re-examination, the second round of the college exam. At this time, the number of people in the exam room is reduced by half compared to the first round.The main exams in this round are posting scriptures, policy questions, arithmetic and a test post poem.This time Gu Chengyu sat in No. [-] Ganzi. He looked up at Chen Xuewen above him, but he didn't expect that the other party was also looking at him at this time, and Chen Xuewen even smiled at him.

Gu Chengyu felt a little strange. It stands to reason that even though he couldn't do anything in the hospital exam this time, it didn't mean that their relationship would be friendly, right?Did Chen Xuewen think that Gu Chengyu hadn't discovered the secret in the steamed bun?He shook his head and returned his thoughts to the examination paper in front of him.

The exam papers had just been handed out, so Gu Chengyu glanced up and down first, ignoring the posting scriptures and strategy questions, don't worry about these, he focused on the arithmetic and test posting poems.Ancient arithmetic cannot be applied to modern formulas, only ancient algorithms can be used, but fortunately, there is no process, just write the answer.

There are two calculations in total, and Gu Chengyu turned his attention to the first question, "Nine hundred and ninety-nine pennies, one thousand pears for seasonal pears, nine pears for eleven pennies, seven pieces for four pennies, how much is the pear fruit?"

Gu Chengyu felt that this question was rather simple, and it should be an algebra question from his previous life. He checked the question in his mind, and he already had the answer in his heart.

After that, I turned my attention to the second question, which is a poem. This question is obviously more difficult than the previous one. How many lamps are there?"

Gu Chengyu read it twice. This should be an algebra problem, but it's not too difficult.

When he was in a private school, Master Wen told him that no matter which exam it was, there was at most one arithmetic problem.Even if the writing is wrong, as long as the other writing is good, you can pass the exam, but the ranking will not be high.It can be seen from this that literati often despise arithmetic problems and feel that they are insignificant.

Therefore, Master Wen did not teach much in arithmetic, and only focused on the Four Books and Five Classics. This may be the thinking of most literati in the Dayan Dynasty.However, it is also very likely that Master Wen was not proficient in arithmetic, so he could not teach them in depth.

Fortunately, Gu Chengyu has the foundation of his previous life, otherwise this arithmetic problem would be really nerve-wracking.Unexpectedly, there were two arithmetic problems this time, Gu Chengyu was a little worried about Sun Xian and the others.

Gu Chengyu paid attention to the last test post poem, the title on it was "Heaven is near the sea mirror, get the year".Gu Chengyu frowned. The difficulty of this poem is not small. The line "Heaven Linhai Mirror" should come from a poem written by Yan Yanzhi of Song Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. ".

This question is relatively uncommon. Gu Chengyu has read these questions, but I don't know if other candidates have read them.

There is no hurry to conceive the poem, he is going to write down all the previous questions on the draft paper first, and fill in the answers by the way.When Gu Chengyu finished writing the two arithmetic problems, it happened to be time for dinner.

The dishes are the same as yesterday, one fried eggplant with minced meat and two steamed buns with white noodles.In order to act cautiously, Gu Chengyu still did not touch the plate of eggplants, and the two steamed buns were swapped with those in the space.

After going out to the toilet, I almost fainted.The weather is hot right now, and there are quite a few people who go to the toilet in the morning. The toilet emits poisonous gas, which makes it difficult for people to approach.Gu Chengyu endured the stench, covered his face with a handkerchief, and went to the toilet with a suffocated breath. When he came out, he even glanced at the candidates by the toilet.

Seeing the other party's face was ugly, he didn't even use food, and his face was unlovable, which made Gu Chengyu sympathize with him for a few seconds.well!Brother, you can only ask for blessings.

He secretly rejoiced that he was not in the stinking house, and that he could still bear it in winter, but in summer it was simply unbearable, and he would die.In particular, flies were attracted inside. Although the wormwood was lighted to repel mosquitoes and flies, the buzzing sound made people want to bump their heads.God!I can't even think about it.

Gu Chengyu went back to his own examination shed, washed his hands with clean water, dried them with a handkerchief, and then re-covered the examination papers and draft paper.

After finishing the math problem, it is time to conceive the test poem.Gu Chengyu thought for a while, and wrote on the draft paper, "The Ode to Ya Yuyan, the [-]th year of Huiming. Looking up at the sky, there is an image, and the mirror penetrates the boundless sea."

As I write this, I have to say one thing.The twenty-eighth year of Huiming refers to the reign of the current emperor. Today is Emperor Huiming, and it is now 28 years.The reason why it is called Dayan on weekdays is to commemorate Emperor Taizu.Emperor Taizu is Emperor Jiaren, who reigned for 33 years, and the prince succeeded to the throne at the age of 25. Now he has succeeded to the throne for 28 years.

When Taizu passed away, Emperor Huiming was extremely benevolent and filial, and said that he would keep Dayan as the country name.Both types of year names can be used, it's just that everyone from civil and military officials to Li people are used to Dayan's year name!However, what Gu Chengyu wrote here in the [-]th year of Huiming is also good, but it is used less than usual.

For writing like this, Gu Chengyu has his own intentions.Gu Chengyu believes that although Emperor Huiming is said to reflect filial piety, whoever is the emperor doesn't like the fact that people keep mentioning the first one instead of him, right?Gu Chengyu here is also a small flattery.Although, the emperor may not know at all.

The poem this time took a lot of mental effort, and when Gu Chengyu finished writing it, looking at the time, it was already the second quarter of Shen Shi.He checked it again, and when he saw that there were no missing questions, he rang the small bell next to him.

After pasting the test paper, Gu Chengyu stood up and stretched his muscles before following the guards out of the examination room.The other candidates are really envious!They are still serious about poetry!The exam paper this time was really difficult, many candidates were scratching their heads, and some candidates didn't even do the arithmetic problems.

It's just that you can't cry in the examination room, otherwise everyone would have exploded.This exam is much more difficult than previous years, isn't it?Everyone thought angrily.

For Gu Chengyu, those who didn't know him before now know who he is, and the news that Gu Chengyu received the imperial edict has already spread.Everyone was envious of this matter. No one was surprised to see Gu Chengyu handing in the paper so early. Anyway, even if he didn't do well in the exam and didn't get the first place, then No.2 must be his. Who else would dare to take the edge?
