Chapter 263 It's OK to Get a Talent
Hearing Du Jinning's answer, County Magistrate Liu became more interested in her while being satisfied, and asked, "Which teacher did you learn from?"

"Students pay homage to Guan Shanchang, the head of the Boyue Academy." Du Jinning said.

Magistrate Liu nodded, seeing that there were already four people in line behind Du Jinning, he planned to wave her hand to let her pass, and reminded that he had been selected, but just as he was about to speak, his eyes caught sight of the math problem below. At that moment, his pupils shrank sharply, and he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

All right.

Four arithmetic problems, all correct.

For ancient math problems, you don't need to write the process of solving the problem, you only need to write the answer.

But the answers to these four questions are too correct, right?In such a short period of time, not only did he answer the previous questions very well, but he even did the math, which was very correct.This is a bit unbelievable.

Could it be that this test paper was leaked?

County magistrate Liu raised his eyes, looked at Du Jinning carefully, and then lowered his head to read the scripture questions and test post poems.

Du Jinning's brows could not help but slightly frowned.

When she answered those two sentences just now, magistrate Liu's appreciation was almost beyond words. Why did his appreciation fade away in two breaths, replaced by scrutiny and suspicion?
When he saw that the inscriptions on the scriptures and meanings were written very well, although the test post poems were not particularly good, but they fit the meaning of the inscriptions, and there were no mistakes in phonology, County Magistrate Liu became more suspicious.

He said: "The third math problem, please tell me your thinking about solving the problem."

Du Jinning is a person with a clear mind. Hearing this, he knew what Magistrate Liu was thinking just now.She couldn't help but relax, and articulated her thoughts clearly.

The place where County Magistrate Liu is located is at the gate of the county school in the north, and there is some distance from the corridors on the east and west sides, as well as the examinees in the courtyard below the steps.It was raining again at this time, and the dripping of the rain intercepted most of the sounds.Except for the four students standing beside her and a teacher and guard behind the county magistrate, no one will hear what she said.

Hearing her explanation, the candidate standing at the back exclaimed: "So it was explained like this." After speaking, he realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly apologized to County Magistrate Liu.

County magistrate Liu couldn't care less about this person. He waved his hand, stared at Du Jinning, and asked another question that was not on the test paper, but it was a difficult problem he had done before: "Today, there are things that I don't know how many. Two, the number left from five to five is three, and the number left from seven to seven is two. How many things are there?"

Du Jinning thought for a moment, then immediately said: "23."

"What do the ancients say about the principles of nature?" County magistrate Liu asked another question about the meaning of the scriptures.

"Those who are rational are the ones who lose their feelings when they are unhappy; those who are not unreasonable are also those who are rational. When you do something to others, you should bow and think about it..."

Listening to her eloquent talk, although I was very interested in what she said, but two more students came to hand in the paper, and County Magistrate Liu couldn't ask any more questions.

However, his heart is now in his stomach.This kid's knowledge is really excellent, much better than some scholars.He can easily make the test questions on the test paper, and he is all right, not because someone leaked the test questions to him, but because he really knows how to do it.

County Magistrate Liu showed a smile on his rather stern face, and praised Du Jinning: "Young people are awesome. If there is a chance, I will definitely visit your mountain chief."

To be able to cultivate such high-level apprentices, the head of the Boyue Academy, Guan Shan, must be a very knowledgeable and talented person.

"This is your first time taking the county test?" He asked again.

Du Jinning nodded: "Return to the adults, yes."

"Not bad!" County Magistrate Liu sighed, and said to Du Jinning in a pleasant manner, "You go back and prepare for the exam. With your talent and learning, there is no problem getting a scholar."

At this time, two more people joined the line behind Du Jinning waiting for magistrate Liu to hand in the papers.When the six people heard what County Magistrate Liu said, the envy in Du Jinning's eyes almost became real.

At such a young age, he passed the county test for the first time.And didn't you listen to what Magistrate Liu said just now?It's no problem to get a talent.The meaning of these words, presumably, is to get the county case for this young man.With the title of the chief of the county case, the examiners of the government and hospital examinations will give a certain amount of face, and there is no problem with being a scholar.

Last year's county case was a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and this year it is again.It seems that Lishui County has produced many child prodigies.

Du Jinning thanked County Magistrate Liu, walked a few steps forward, and was guided by the guards to stand on the other side, waiting to gather ten people to place the top card.

After a while, the six people behind her came over, including her, a total of seven people.In other words, you still need to wait for three more people before you can go out.

Among the seven people, except for her who handed in the test paper after finishing it, the other six all stained the paper due to wind and rain.But because the conversation between Du Jinning and County Magistrate Liu was so wonderful, the six of them didn't say anything bad because of their envy, jealousy and hatred.For such a young, promising and promising person, no one would be foolish enough to make an enemy of him.

The six congratulated Du Jinning, and then talked about their bad luck today.When a person is unlucky, he is naturally unhappy.But there are more unlucky people, and if everyone vented together, the unhappiness will be much less.

One of the tall and thin men said: "Actually, we are not really unlucky, but we are not doing things properly." He pointed to Du Jinning, "I was sitting obliquely behind him, and we were also sitting in the corridor. I gave it to a classmate sitting in the yard. But why didn’t his test paper get wet by the rain? It’s because he was extremely careful in his work.”

As he spoke, he said to Du Jinning: "Brother, can you let me see your bag?"

He was referring to Du Jinning's special test paper bag.

Du Jinning took out the test paper bag, handed it to him, and said with a smile, "Anything you want."

Others looked at it and wondered, "What is this?"

"This is for test papers." The tall and thin man helped explain.

He looked at the bag and asked Du Jinning, "What kind of leather is this?"

"Sheepskin." Du Jinning said, "Other skins are also acceptable, as long as they can be waterproof and fireproof to a certain extent."

The reason why she used sheepskin for the test paper bag and also wore sheepskin boots was naturally because of the sheep raised at home.

At the beginning, she bought two sheep and went back. In the past two years, she has developed into seven or eight sheep.In addition to keeping the seeds, she also killed some sheepskins, and she let people take care of them and keep them.Because she walks around all day, besides going to the academy, she also has to visit the tea garden and orchard.When it rains in autumn and winter, the cloth shoes are not warm and easy to get wet, and it is very easy to catch wind and cold.Chen then made several pairs of sheepskin boots for Du Jinning according to the drawing.

This test paper bag is sewn with leftover sheepskin.
