Ye Changshan and Yingping entered the examination room, found their seats and sat down. Their seats are connected, and the person sitting side by side with Yingping on the right is actually the famous Jiang Changming!
Not only were they in the same examination room as Mr. Jiang, but they were even so close to each other. Ye Changshan was inexplicably nervous. After all, Ye Changshan was just a boy from a mountain village. Facing such a person, he actually felt ashamed of himself.
How can the gap between people be so huge? Jiang Changming's life experience, talents, training, and appearance are all rare in the world, but he himself...
Ye Changshan sat behind and secretly looked at Jiang Changming, while Jiang Changming sat calmly on his seat. He closed his eyes tightly, feeling no tension from him. There was still no expression on his face, as if what he was waiting for was just an extremely ordinary thing.
At this moment, Yingping suddenly turned his head. He patted Ye Changshan, who was still thinking wildly, and then nuzzled his lips towards Jiang Changming, who was concentrating with his eyes closed, and whispered: "Hey! Changshan, look at it -"
Ye Changshan came back from his random thoughts. He glanced at Jiang Changming, and then at Yingping in confusion.
Yingping winked at Ye Changshan, but Ye Changshan didn't know what he meant. But seeing Yingping's funny look, he felt instantly relieved.
Seeing Ye Changshan's confused look, Yingping said directly: "Come on, let's go over and say hello? Do you know Mr. Jiang?"
What? Do you know each other? Say goodbye. This is so embarrassing. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if someone ignored us?
Ye Changshan's first reaction was this, so he shook his head.
Yingping curled his lips in disdain, he sighed heavily and turned around, no longer paying attention to the 'shy' Ye Changshan.
But Yingping was Yingping after all. With such a "fresh" person sitting next to him, how could he suppress his curiosity? However, after half a cup of tea, Yingping couldn't hold back after all. He walked over with a shameless smile and said——
"Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Changming closed his eyes and meditated when he suddenly heard someone calling him and opened his eyes. I saw a young man with a smile on his face looking at him sincerely.
"Hey, Mr. Jiang, my name is Yingping. I'm lucky enough to sit next to Mr. Jiang. I'm glad to meet you!"
Yingping learned to read and write poetry very slowly, but he learned Qin Jingqing's natural skills very quickly.
Although Jiang Changming was arrogant, he knew that most of the candidates in this Jiazi field had some background, so no matter how aloof he was, he would not remain indifferent. So, he nodded in response.
Seeing Jiang Changming nodding in return, Yingping couldn't help but feel very happy. He followed Qin Jingqing's example and then returned to his position happily.
After returning to his seat, Yingping turned to Ye Changshan and winked proudly, as if he was saying that he was so proud to have made friends with someone like Jiang Changming.
Ye Changshan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw Yingping's pride. With this living treasure always by his side, life would not be boring.
At this moment, Dr. Zhang Zhengru Zhang appeared in the house. He stroked his beard and coughed lightly, and the examination room fell silent. When the examination room became completely quiet, he cleared his throat and said loudly——
"The first test is coming soon. Please don't make noises, whisper to each other, and don't carry paper clips! The duration of this 'number' science test is one and a half hours. I will distribute the test questions to you later. Please be patient. . I declare again that you can only answer the questions after the gong sounds three times. Anyone who does not comply will be regarded as cheating and will be expelled from the examination room!"
After that, he took out a stack of paper with a few lines of small words printed on it and distributed it to all the students.
The test paper was sent to Jiang Changming first. When the test paper was placed on Jiang Changming's desk, his eyes that had been closed suddenly opened. His hands were still under the table, but his eyes were scanning the test questions. After reading it, he smiled lightly, with full confidence in his smile, and even a hint of arrogance and contempt.
After receiving the paper, other students nervously and carefully read every word on the paper for fear of missing a word. Gradually, many people's expressions became serious, as if they had seen some heavenly book.
When Ye Changshan took the test paper, he couldn't wait to pick it up and read the questions carefully. I saw only a few hundred words on the test paper, which read——
"The people near the fortress who are good at martial arts are called Sai Weng. Sai Weng has seventeen good horses. Because he is old, he wants to divide the good horses among his three sons. He calls the three sons in front of the couch and says: The eldest son He gets half, the second son gets less half (one-third), and the youngest gets ninety-one (one-ninth) of it, and he is not allowed to kill the horse. Question: Why should the third son divide his horse?"
"哐——哐——哐——"
After three gongs sounded, Master Zhang shouted, "All students, the exam begins." The much-anticipated first test of the cold exam began!
Ye Changshan read the question again and couldn't help but frown, "There are seventeen good horses, and the eldest son gets half...the horses are not allowed to be killed." What should we do? So what should we do about this half...?
I saw all the students in the examination room holding the test papers and reading them over and over again. Some even kept rubbing their eyes and slapping their heads to make sure they had read the test questions correctly.
Yingping held the examination paper and kept there in a daze. If this was not an examination room, he would have cursed -
This, this is too academic and deceiving! These old masters want to play tricks on us! Seventeen horses, the first one to come up gets half? If you can't kill or chop, how do you tell me to tell the difference? Even if a horse is cut in half, the remaining eight or eight and a half horses... he can't cut it in half! What kind of brain is this Taixue Academy using? What are you thinking about?
All the students fell into deep thought. Everyone was thinking hard and couldn't figure it out. A small number of students took out the scrap paper and kept calculating something on it with a pen. But every time they calculated a few lines, they would use a brush to cross out the previous draft, and then start a new line and start over... Some candidates secretly guessed , did this college make a mistake in the question? How to solve the problem of not being able to cut a horse? And even if it is cut, it can’t be done!
Jiang Changming, who was in Seat 1 of Jiazichang, also frowned after reading the test questions. However, unlike the others who scratched their heads and collapsed, Jiang Changming closed his eyes and meditated. Then, his lips moved slightly, as if he was silently reciting something, and the five fingers on the other side kept calculating at an extremely fast speed. After only half a cup of tea, Jiang Changming suddenly opened his eyes. He shook his sleeves, held the pen in his right hand, and lifted his sleeve with his left hand. He calmly dipped the pen in some ink and wrote two lines of words on the examination paper. Then, he put his name in the lower left corner of the test paper. Finally, he gently put down the pen, stood up, gently flicked his sleeves, and left gracefully.
The students in the examination room looked at Jiang Changming's leaving figure in shock, their eyes full of disbelief. Master Zhang picked up his examination paper and took a look at it. He kept stroking his beard and nodding, with a smile on his face and a look of admiration. When all the students saw this, they were amazed. Mr. Jiang is really amazing. Not only is his martial arts cultivation very high, but his thinking is also very quick. We are still thinking hard, but this Mr. Jiang actually... unexpectedly solved the problem. come out? Judging from Master Zhang's expression, it seems that he answered... very well? Well...since Mr. Jiang has solved this problem, it proves...that there is a solution to this problem! Aren't these old masters from Taiyuan University dizzy? Thinking of this, all living beings could not help but be greatly encouraged and began to think again.
Time passed bit by bit, and apart from Jiang Changming, there was no other candidate in the examination room who handed in his paper.
Master Zhang was sitting on a chair, overlooking all the candidates. He was laughing at himself, secretly thinking that this question was really tricky. When the third gentleman from the poor family submitted this question to Taiyuan College that day, a large group of Masters from Taiyuan College sat together and thought about it. Looking for a solution, I spent the whole day without thinking about food or tea, but no one could solve this problem. In fact, the solution to the third problem has been handed over to Taiyuan University. However, these teachers all think very highly of themselves and feel that the mere "mathematics" subject will not be difficult for them. However, they did not expect that this question is so magical that it makes people so entangled. On the second day, no one could solve the problem, so they had to take out the solution. Everyone read it and suddenly realized it. They all clapped their hands and marveled. They looked at each other and said in admiration: The third gentleman is indeed a genius. Such wonderful questions and such wonderful solutions are interesting. ,interesting!
This question is so clever that we, the learned, cannot answer it, let alone these young students? Thinking of this, Master Zhang sighed, seeming to sympathize with these students. So, he got up and took a look around. When he saw that all the test papers of the candidates present were blank, he couldn't help but sigh again.
Suddenly, another student stood up. He picked up his pen angrily, scrawled a few words on the examination paper, and then left the examination room angrily.
Seeing this, Master Zhang stepped forward, picked up his examination paper and took a look at it. He couldn't help but shook his head. It turned out that there were four big characters on the examination paper that came into view -
This question has no solution!
...
Half an hour passed...
An hour passed...
Seeing that there was not much time left for the math test, except for Mr. Jiang and Brother "Wu Jie" who left the room, there were no students in the examination room to hand in their papers.
Although these students still haven't figured out the solution to this problem, none of them want to give up this last chance easily, hoping to understand the mystery at the last moment. However, as time goes by, the candidates become more and more painful and anxious. I saw some candidates lying on the table with their heads in their hands; some have been staring at the test questions since the beginning of the exam, as if they had never blinked; some raised their heads and closed their eyes, occasionally turning their heads, but immediately He shook his head slightly, seeming to deny his previous thoughts; some candidates even fell asleep just thinking about it! This 'numerology' test is really difficult for the test taker. The viewers sigh that only those who know the solution to the problem can sit high on the Diaoyutai and have such a leisurely time.
Yingping was looking at the test papers in a daze at the moment. This time he had a deep understanding of the cold test. Only those with extraordinary talents and quick thinking cannot pass! Looking at Jiang Changming's empty seat next door, he was filled with admiration. How smart do you have to be to solve this problem so quickly?
The sound of a gong awakened all those who were thinking hard from their thoughts. At this time, all the students' heads were filled with a mass of mush, and the eyes looking at them seemed as if they had just returned to reality from another world. They were confused, trapped, hesitant, puzzled, and desperate...
"Students, please note that there are only one stick of incense left in the 'number' science examination school, so please take care of yourself."
Master Zhang shouted. After saying that, he took out a stick of incense, lit it and placed it in the front row.
Hearing the words "One stick of incense", all the candidates became nervous again. They hurriedly picked up their brushes and thought about writing something casually. But after picking up the brushes, they really didn't know what to write. The four books they had learned in the past The Five Classics were of no use at all at this moment, and I suddenly felt like I couldn't use my strength. I put the brush down angrily and helplessly, and gently beat my chest and feet. I wanted to vent but was afraid of disturbing the order of the examination room.
"What kind of problem is this -! I can't solve it! I can't solve it! I'm confused! Hahahaha! I'm confused!"
Suddenly, one of the candidates jumped up and yelled like he was crazy.
Master Zhang frowned, then waved his hand, and two officers and soldiers guarding outside the examination room immediately came in and stood up the candidate.
The examinee seemed to be unwilling to accept it. He tried his best to break free and shouted——
"What do you want to do? Do you know who my grandfather is? Huh!? You actually dare to be so rude to me, so brave..."
However, the two officers and soldiers remained calm and ignored the examinee who had a "high profile". They just continued to drag him out of the examination room. When he reached the gate of Taixue Palace, two officers and soldiers threw him on the ground at the entrance of the palace, then closed the gate and allowed him to beat and scream without paying attention.
Seeing this scene, Master Zhang cursed secretly: "It's an insult to gentlemen, it's an insult to gentlemen!"
Then he ignored it and continued to focus back on the examination room.
After such a commotion, the attention of all the students in the examination room was attracted. When they turned their attention back, they saw that only half of the incense stick was left.
Ye Changshan looked at the crazy examinee, and his thoughts calmed down a little. Although he was helpless in facing this question, he still had his mind intact. At this time, he reviewed the test questions again:
"There is a man near the fortress who is good at magic, and he is called Sai Weng. He has seventeen good horses. Sai Weng is old and has three sons at his knees. He wants to share the good horses with his sons. He calls him in front of the couch and says: "The eldest son has got it. Half, the second son gets the smaller half, the youngest gets ninety-one, and is not allowed to kill the horse. Question: Why should the third son divide the horse?"
Seventeen horses, half... half, seventeen can't half, but sixteen can half, if not to remove one horse first? The eldest son gets eight horses, and the remaining nine horses, this son gets half...the sixteen can't get three points, this doesn't work either...What if I borrow one from my neighbor?
Ye Changshan's eyes lit up, as if he had vaguely found his ideas and direction. At the moment, he picked up the brush and started calculating quickly on the paper.
Master Zhang couldn't help but feel a little curious when he saw Ye Changshan suddenly pick up a pen and write something on the paper. He stood up and walked to Ye Changshan. He didn't look at the answers on the test paper, but looked at the lower left corner. I saw this candidate's signature written "Jizichang No. 12 New Tang Ancient Piye Changsha".
Where is Gupi? Master Zhang thought to himself that he had never heard of this place before. It must be a remote town in the Tang Dynasty. But I have an impression of this guy. I will handle his card test personally. I want to see what this guy is capable of.
'I borrowed a horse from my neighbor, and there were eighteen good horses in total. The eldest son got half, which was nine horses, the second son got less half, which was six horses, and the youngest got ninety-one horses, which was two horses. When nine, six, and two are exhausted, seventeen are made. Return the remaining one to the neighbor and divide it among them. '
Master Zhang stood silently next to Ye Changshan. Ye Changshan was not aware of Master Zhang's presence at all, and actually wrote out the answer in one breath.
After finishing writing, Master Zhang couldn't help but nodded again and again, and couldn't help laughing. At this time, Ye Changshan realized that Master Zhang was standing beside him, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Master Zhang's smile.
'哐——哐——哐——'
As soon as the stick of incense was burned out, three gongs sounded to wake everyone up. Master Zhang shouted loudly——
"After finishing the 'number' examination, all the students stopped writing and left the table!"
