Rebirth of the Imperial Examination: The Empress of the Impoverished Family

Chapter 23 Mathematics Exam
Jiang Jin naturally didn't know what other people thought.

Her mind was on the steps ahead.

This road has no end in sight, and I don't know how long it will take.

Those who are not taking the test are not allowed to enter the mountain gate.

Therefore, Jiang Weishi dragged Jiang Ling to talk for a long time, and then let them go up the mountain alone after the flow of people dwindled.

Before leaving, Jiang Jin glanced at Nanny Gu again.

Ever since she got off the carriage, Nanny Gu has been staring at the box containing Dingsheng Cake in Qing Shan's hand, it's so strange.

But she had no intention of thinking too much, Jiang Weishi wasted too much time.

She was already tired from climbing all the way up, and she still had to speed up, and she was already out of breath halfway through.

Jiang Ling was not much stronger than her. Although he had lost a lot of weight, he couldn't stand up to the big base before, and now he wished he could collapse on the steps.

He also resolutely slumped on the steps, while taking off his cloak, he wiped his sweat with his sleeve, "Cousin, I can't do it... I need to take a break, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, a person who almost reached the afterimage flashed past the two brothers.

At this speed, Jiang Jin couldn't even catch up on flat ground.

She bit her lip and wiped the sweat off her chin with her sleeve, "Cousin, it's too late."

After speaking, he leaned on his knees and walked forward.

Jiang Ling raised his head to the sky and screamed, but finally got up resignedly, and followed slowly.

After finally climbing the steps, Jiang Jin noticed that the expressions of the people on the scene were unusual, and they were whispering to each other before he had time to catch his breath.

She touched Jiang Ling with the back of her hand, "Go and find out what's wrong."

"Ah?" Jiang Ling, who was rubbing his legs, just came back to his senses and let out an "Ah!", then dragged his legs and left.

After a while, he ran back out of breath, his expression changed drastically, and he completely lost the complaints about climbing the mountain just now.

"There was an accident in today's exam, and a threshold was temporarily added. For some reason, everyone speculated that if you fail, you won't even be able to enter the academy."

Jiang Jin was also stunned after hearing this, "Do you know what form it is?"

Although the temporary addition of questions exceeded her expectations, it was not without a little preparation.

"Mainly examine arithmetic."

arithmetic?

Jiang Jin was stunned for a moment, then wanted to laugh.

The scientific examination is only set up as a Jinshi subject, so many Confucian scholars have never delved into other knowledge, especially arithmetic.

If he works in the household department in the future, he will have to learn arithmetic, which is like a fish in water, but the chance of this is too small.

Most students don't care.

But others can't, she can, and she is also very good at arithmetic.

Jiang Jin didn't know if this was the good luck Jiang Lin had begged for her.

"Do you know when to start? How to test?"

"I don't know." Jiang Ling's face turned even paler, "I won't know until the time is up."

Jiang Jin nodded to show that he understood.

Seeing that there was still some time, she simply wanted to find a big tree to lean against and wait.

It gave Jiang Ling a headache in the back, "Cousin...you're not worried?"

"do not worry."

Jiang Jin answered as a matter of course.

But I never thought that I would meet the person who flashed by when I went up the mountain again.

Didn't notice at first,

This look...

Jiang Jin was really dumbfounded.

She even forgot what she was going to do.

Looking at the past with her height, she can only see a pair of well-developed chest muscles tightly wrapped by thin clothes, rough and wild.

Looking up, you can see wheat-colored skin, a too-clear jawline, extremely handsome browbones and bridge of nose, and a pair of upturned phoenix eyes.

This face looks like a bullying face,

Intimidating.

Jiang Ling behind him tugged at her sleeve, but Jiang Jin pulled his hand away instead.

She is very interested in this big man now.

I really want to know who will win if he and Qingshan fight.

Jiang Jin thought about it and asked the same question.

"Young master, if you dare to ask, have you practiced martial arts?"

Seeing the young man's eyes flicker, he finally nodded to show that he knew martial arts.

The Dayan Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, especially Confucian scholars were born to reject those who practiced martial arts.

This person dared to answer her question in front of so many Confucian students who were about to be classmates, which showed that he was open-minded and courageous.

Jiang Jin also squinted his eyes and smiled, "Since I was climbing the mountain, I have been thinking that the young master's physical fitness must be excellent."

Jiang Ling behind him was still tirelessly tugging at her sleeves.

Jiang Jin pulled back while talking, she always felt that her sleeves were about to be torn apart.

The young man didn't answer Jiang Jin, but just stood there like a stake.

Jiang Jin didn't care, "I'm going to Jiang Jin, I want to make friends with the young master."

She pushed Jiang Ling to the front, "This is my cousin, Jiang Ling, and I'm living in his house now."

"Cousin!" Jiang Ling exclaimed in a low voice, then bit the bullet and greeted the man in front of him, "Hello."

"Bai Chaoyi."

The man said his name as a greeting.

Jiang Jin smiled without malice, "When I think about you, I miss you for thousands of years. It's a very gentle name."

Bai Chaoyi only took a deep look at her, and then looked away, not like Jiang Ling's surprised eyes stared out.

He whispered, "It's started."

Jiang Jin followed Bai Chaoyi's gaze, but only saw dark people.

He is tall, so he can see far.

She lowered her head again to look at Jiang Ling who was jumping up and down like a monkey, shouting invisible.

Sure enough, he is a child who only pretends to be an adult in front of adults.

The gap between people is really too big.

After a while, the black people in front started to move.

The three of them automatically followed the tail of the team.

Bai Chaoyi walked in front with her face turned, Jiang Jin walked in the middle with her lips curled up, and Jiang Ling followed nervously at the end, almost stepping on Jiang Jin's shoes with the same hands and feet.

In this quaint and bookish place with white walls and blue tiles, these three people are also a unique scene.

After entering the door, Jiang Jin habitually looked around.

The courtyards of the three entrances have a courtyard on the left and right.

East Kuayuan is used for lectures, while West Kuayuan is a living room for students.

Due to today's exam, Dongkuayuan was turned into an exam venue.

The courtyard of Dongkuayuan is very large, and about 60 or [-] students can stand there.

Standing scattered now, Jiang Jin could finally see the brother leading the team.

The brother wears a Confucian scarf, blue shirt, blue plain silk, inlaid with green borders, round neck and large sleeves closed, with slits on both sides to meet the hem.

This blue shirt can only be worn by freshmen. It seems that the brother leading the team has at least passed the scientific examination. If he passes the provincial examination, he will be a candidate!

Everyone was a little excited.

A basin of cold water was directly poured down.

The math test will be held in the outdoor hall.

All the students answer one question together. Under the premise of ensuring the correctness, the speed of answering the question is compared. If someone answers it, they will change the question until all ten questions are answered.

Those who answer correctly first can enter the examination room to choose a seat. After the examination is over, the remaining students can enter the examination room.

Brother "Ju Ren" who was originally handsome, instantly turned into an evil ghost with a sickle in everyone's eyes.

"Is it possible to read the test papers first?"

"No."

After the senior brother answered with a smile, there was a "wow" from all the students.

"Then what's the use of us going in first?"

"That's right, I think the academy just wants to freeze us!"

There are also many people complaining, "What's the use of taking a math test, and you can't take a scientific test."

The senior brother didn't say anything about it, but Jiang Jin felt that the college's actions must be for something.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to make this episode for no reason.

And since she came in, she noticed a probing look.

"Ten people who pass the exam can meet the head of the mountain and Mr. Song."

"Mr. Song?"

"Song Lian!"

This name is like a stone thrown into the water, directly blasting a layer of waves.

Everyone was excited again. They came to Shanju Academy for Song Lian, and now they can see him as long as they get the first place in mathematics. The people who were downcast and complained just now are full of enthusiasm again.

So is Jiang Jin.

Regardless of Jiang Ling's obstruction, she walked forward with an ambitious smile.

"Brother, let's start."

　Ying shirt: Developed from the Song Dynasty, it was worn by students in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally made of white silk cloth, and later appeared in blue and blue. In the late Ming Dynasty, it was mainly blue, so it was called "blue shirt".

　　Civilian clothing color:

　　White: The cheapest type of cloth, mostly worn by the poor

　　Blue: The most popular in Ming and Qing Dynasties, dyed with indigo, low cost, popular among middle and lower classes

　　Green: dyed by herbal plants, common civilian clothing color
　　Yellow: forbidden color in Ming and Qing Dynasties
　　Brown: gardenia, turmeric dyed
　　Grey: Comfrey, dyed with Galla, slightly purple

　　Thank you for the man who never gives up and berates the little devil~
