Chapter 316 Difficult math problem

Fearing that Zhou Dongping would not listen, he analyzed carefully: "His first poem is so beautifully written that no examinee can match it; the second poem is of a very high standard if the factors of stereotyped poems are excluded. The two poems are put out to be judged, and the evaluation will never be low. If he gets a high score in mathematics, the whole test paper will be too beautiful. You can't cover it up if you want to. You know the top three of the government's case All the test papers have to be posted, and if he sees that the leader of the case is not as good as himself, he will definitely cause trouble."

"Master Zhao, Xuezheng, took the first government examination in Hunan Province, the second took Guangdong Province, and the third came to our place. It will be the time when the first ranking of the government case will be made. His troubles like this will definitely arouse Master Zhao. Attention, you must know that he is No.1 in the first game, enough to attract attention. When the time comes, Mr. Zhao will check the file, and you will not be able to get away with the hat of unfair judgment..."

"Stop it." Zhou Dongping didn't want to listen anymore, this kind of advice made him sound particularly harsh.

"The situation you mentioned will not happen." He sneered, "He is a farmer, and he has only studied for a few years, and there are not many decent gentlemen in Lishui County. How high can his arithmetic level be? Five It’s really amazing to solve the first two problems.”

"But if all the candidates fail, he is no worse than anyone else." Li Yi said.

"Don't worry, Wu Yumou, the teacher in Beijing is famous for his arithmetic. If others can't solve these problems, it doesn't mean he can't." Zhou Dongping said with confidence, "In addition, Liang Xiankuan, No. 2, is from the Liang family. They There are two or three members of the family who have stayed in the household department, and the most important thing is arithmetic. His family has a long history, and he must be much better than that kid."

Li Tong couldn't believe his ears.

Although Liang Xiankuan's article in the first round was not bad, it was not much different from Fang Shaohua, Wu Yumou and others. Zhou Zhi, who ranked No.3, wrote a slightly better article than him, but Zhou Dongping did not. Take Liang Xiankuan as No.2.

At that time, Li Yitong thought it was strange, but literati have their own preferences for articles. Anyway, there is not much difference between the articles. Zhou Dongping thought Liang Xiankuan's article was good, or wanted to convey some kindness to the Liang family. No, and it is not easy to ask why.

Now it seems that Zhou Dongping chose Liang Xiankuan as No.2 with extremely impure motives. He might have planned to use Liang Xiankuan to suppress Du Jinning long ago.

You must know that Liang Xiankuan is Du Jinning's classmate.If he was chosen as the head of the case, even if Du Jinning was dissatisfied, he would not be able to say anything.He was so fussy that he couldn't pull his senior brother down and sit at the head of the desk, right?If he does that, he won't even need to be a human being in the future, and he will be criticized wherever he goes, let alone being a scholar.We must know that the most important thing for scholars is morality, and the examiners will not accept those who have a bad reputation due to misconduct.

Therefore, as early as the first exam was over, Zhou Dongping probably had already planned to give so many math problems in the second exam, and made it more difficult.The words he said in a dignified manner, boasting that he is fair and upright, yet he actually believed him!After staying by his side for so long, I don't know his true temperament at all?

What kind of hatred does Du Jinning's teacher have for killing his father and taking his wife?Zhou Dongping actually let Zhou Dongping expose his hidden side for so long!

Thinking of this, Li Yi shuddered.

Thinking silently, he didn't speak any more, and he didn't try to persuade Zhou Dongping any more, his eyes fell on Du Jinning from time to time.

After Du Jinning finished writing two articles, he didn't do math problems right away, but sat there rubbing his chin and frowning, thinking about a very serious question.

The time to start the exam is Mao time, which is six o'clock in modern times.It took a little time to listen to Zhou Dongping's lectures, grind ink and copy the questions. She probably only spent less than half an hour on the two articles.Today's exam didn't end until dark, and there are still about ten hours before the end of the exam. If she spends half an hour finishing the math problems, what will she do with the rest of the time?

Hand in the papers ahead of time and hurry back for lunch?

Do not make jokes.The lessons of the first few papers handed in are still vivid in my mind.It's really uncomfortable to feel like scratching one's ears, looking forward to seeing through one's eyes, restless, and anxious.

Candidates in ancient times, even those like Fang Shaohua and Wu Yumou who liked to hand in their papers in advance, had to wait half an hour before the end of the exam, not to mention that today's exam was a math question?In modern times, her classmates would always complain that there was not enough time for math tests.If you encounter a difficult problem, it is possible to spend hours solving it.

In other words, if she handed in the paper at nine o'clock, she would probably wait outside until five or six o'clock in the evening before going out.For eight or nine hours, she waited so stupidly outside, everyone probably thought there was something wrong with her.The point is that she has nothing to eat outside.

So, kill time here and go out until [-]:[-] p.m.?How about sleeping first?
Thinking of this, Du Jinning glanced up, seeing Zhou Dongping glanced at her expressionlessly, she immediately dismissed the idea.

Or go out after lunch.Anyway, there were stools outside to sit on, so it was better to wait outside than to sit here and be stared at by Zhou Dongping.

Having made up her mind, she lowered her head and began to look at the math problems.

And what she did just now made Zhou Dongping and Li Yitong misunderstand, thinking that she was really stumped by the math problem, frowning and distressed, it seemed that she couldn't even solve the first math problem .Zhou Dongping was secretly proud of himself, while Li Yitong was faintly worried about Du Jinning.

As a top student in science and engineering, Du Jinning's math scores were quite good in modern times.The math problems in ancient times were basically at the elementary school level, at most some problems in the first and second grades of junior high school, which were a piece of cake for her.

But seeing the five math problems clearly, she let out a soft "Huh" and glanced at Zhou Dongping.

Their bookstore will print and sell the questions from previous years before the scientific examination. As the boss, she is naturally close to the water, and she has done those questions.But this year, not only the number of test post poems and math questions has changed a lot, but also why the difficulty of math has increased so much?

She thought about it for a while, and then forgot about it.Anyway, all the calculations are paper tigers in front of her strength, a poke is a hole, it is really not threatening.

She picked up the pen and started to do math problems.

The five math questions are from shallow to deep.The first and second questions were similar to those done in the county examination, similar to the chicken and rabbit in the same cage, she finished it in a few brushes.

For example, the second question: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine coins, and one thousand pear fruit in time. Nine Wen pears on 99, four coins for seven fruits. How much is the price of pear fruit?"

She thought for a while, then wrote the answer on the paper: "There are 650 pears, a total of 340 Wen; there are 190 fruits, a total of [-] Liu Wen."

The third question is a bit more difficult: "Today, there is one rooster, worth five coins; one hen, worth three; In translation, each rooster is five Wen, each hen is three Wen, and three chicks are one Wen.Now if you give one hundred cash, you must buy one hundred chickens. How many roosters, hens, and chicks can you buy?

She stroked her chin.

She was not stumped by the topic.In order to kill time, she deliberately slowed down the speed of doing the questions so that the time would pass faster.

But in this situation, in the eyes of Zhou Dongping and Li Yitong, she was stumped by the question.

Zhou Dongping couldn't bear it and stood up again, wanting to come over to see if Du Jinning didn't solve any of the questions.Li Yi was even more worried than him, and when he saw him get up, he immediately stood up too.
