"Clang clang clang!"
There was a sound of bells and drums outside the teaching building, indicating that the third period of the Imperial College had ended. Except for the math school, the students in the other schools had taken a break. In fact, this was also thanks to the get out of class system introduced by Li Zexuan, otherwise they would not have enjoyed it. Get such benefits.
"Yuan Shuo, let's go and take a look at the monthly exam at the Arithmetic School!"
In the Guozi Academy, a young student pulled a classmate beside him and said excitedly.
"No, it's just a monthly exam, what's the point?"
The student named Yuan Shuo shook his head and refused.
"What do you mean it's not worth watching? If it's not worth watching, why would there be so many people watching after the first two classes? Let's go, let's go, tsk tsk. I heard that they ranked first in the monthly exam and can take the whole family to Zuixian You can have a free meal at the building! And you can order whatever food and drinks you want, as long as you can finish them!"
"Yanfu, although your family is not a rich family, you can't even afford to go to Zuixian Pavilion to eat, right? As the owner of Hongwen Pavilion, your father's words are worth a thousand dollars, so you can just take them out Isn’t one word enough to cost your family several years?”
It turns out that the young man in front of him is Chu Suiliang's eldest son, Chu Yanfu.
"Oh, Yuan Shuo is not as exaggerated as you said, but even so, my father will not agree. How can my father think that his words can be compared with those copper-smelling things? So, little brother, even if I have the money to go You can eat at Zuixianlou, but you won’t be so extravagant as to order whatever you want!”
"Haha, it's useless for you to be envious of Yanfu! You're not a student of the School of Calculation!"
Yuan Shuo chuckled and struck a blow.
"Ha, although I'm not a student of the School of Arithmetic, it's not a bad idea to go and have a look! Yuan Shuo, let's go, let's go and have a look. Don't you admire Li Siye's new arithmetic? You just want to go and have a look. !”
After Chu Yanfu said this, he took Yuan Shuo's arm and walked outside the teaching building without any explanation.
"Hey, hey, I didn't say I was going..."
"Ahem, where are you going?"
Two miserable children, they just happened to meet Cui Shanyou, one of the five doctors of the Guozi Academy!
"Ah~, sir! Let's go figure it out..."
"Let's go potty! Sir!"
When Chu Yanfu heard that Yuan Shuo was about to tell the truth, he quickly grabbed the conversation and blurted out a lie.
"Oh~! Then go quickly! There will be class soon, so don't be late!"
Cui Shanyou carefully examined their expressions for a while, but didn't see anything strange, so he said coldly.
"Well, sir, let's go then!"
Chu Yanfu pulled Yuan Shuo and ran away.
"Hey, Yanfu, isn't the School of Arithmetic in the south? How can we run to the east?"
After running for a while, Yuan Shuo said suspiciously.
"Yuan Shuo, you are stupid! What we told Dr. Cui just now was to go to the toilet. If you don't run this way, won't you expose your secret? It's the same if we go around to the Mathematical Center from here!"
"Oh, by the way, Yanfu, why did you lie to Dr. Cui just now?"
"Didn't you hear? Dr. Cui has been dissatisfied with Li Siye recently and thinks that he has ruined the academic style of the Imperial College. He has gone to the Jijiu Hall to complain more than once!"
"Ah~? Is there such a thing? But Li Siye didn't bring bad academic style? On the contrary, since he came to the Imperial College, we all used blackboard chalk, enjoyed the get out of class system, and also learned Pinyin. Why does Dr. Cui slander Dr. Li like this?"
"Alas! Who says it's not the case! But Yuan Shuo, don't worry, Dr. Li has now become the director of the Imperial College, and Dr. Cui has no ability to defeat him!"
.............................
In the arithmetic library.
The teachers and students inside were all immersed in writing and writing, ignoring the students watching the excitement outside. Li Zexuan was writing a novel and couldn't help but be immersed in the story, and had no intention of paying attention to the outside world. The students in the Mathematical School had no time to look around because the questions were too big.
After a while, the bells and drums for class rang. The students outside dispersed and ran towards their respective teaching buildings. The math school became quiet again.
Gradually, the countdown to the end of this monthly exam has also entered.
Many students also achieved the last question. In this monthly exam, Li Zexuan did not ask any additional questions, so this last question was a must-do question for the students. However, after everyone read the question, they were a little dumbfounded.
"One day a young man came to Boss Wang's shop and bought a gift. The cost of the gift was 180 yuan, and the price was 210 yuan. As a result, the young man took out a gift worth 1,000 yuan. The golden beans wanted to buy this gift. Boss Wang didn’t have so many copper coins at that time, so he used the golden beans worth a thousand coins to exchange for a thousand coins from the neighbor, and gave the young man 790 coins in change. But the neighbor later Discovering that the golden bean turned out to be fake, Boss Wang had no choice but to return a golden bean of the same size to his neighbor. The question is: How much money did Boss Wang lose in this transaction?"
Sun Zifan read the question once and felt that his mind was a little confused. He read the question twice again and felt that he had some ideas. He started to write calculations on the scratch paper.
"The 790 fen that Boss Wang gave to the young man was his loss, and the 1,000 fen that he later gave to his neighbor was also his loss. His income was 210 fen, but 180 of it was cost, so The total money he lost was 790+1000+180-210=1760 Wen, tsk tsk, that should be it, right?”
Sun Zifan soon clarified his thoughts and calculated the answer. He couldn't help but feel complacent. He was about to copy the answer onto the test paper when he suddenly felt something was wrong. He paused and calculated again:
"No, you should think of it this way. Boss Wang's loss was the 1,000 yuan he paid back to the neighbor and the 790 yuan he gave to the buyer. Plus the 180 yuan gift the buyer took away, the total is 1,000 + 790 + 180 = 1970 article, it must be right now, right?”
Sun Zifan held his chin and thought for a while. He was a little hesitant about the second answer. He didn't dare to write the answer on the test paper for a while. He read the question again and still felt it was wrong.
"That's not right! Although the cost of the gift is one hundred and eighty cents, its price is two hundred and ten cents! Boss Wang can earn thirty cents by selling it to others, but after selling it to a young man, he will earn only thirty cents. In addition to the money lost, should these thirty Wen be included? In this way, Boss Wang’s loss will be a total of 1000+790+210=2000 Wen!”
"Damn it, why did you come up with three answers in such a short period of time? Which answer is the correct one?"
Sun Zifan looked at the three different and reasonable answers on the draft paper, and was completely confused. If this guy had traveled through time, he would definitely vomit blood at this moment and said: "Cao Nima! This question is poisonous!!! "
"Is it 1760 articles? Or 1970 articles? Or 2000 articles? Which one should I choose?"
Sun Zifan's eyes flickered between the three answers. After a while, he felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and said angrily in his heart: "Cao, draw lots! Whichever one you catch will be who! I've always been lucky, young master. Very good, I still don’t believe it!”
If Li Zexuan knew what this guy was thinking, he would definitely give him a big slap in the face. Did you really think you were doing a multiple-choice question? You're drawing lots, why don't you throw the dice?
Modern students encounter uncertain options when taking multiple-choice questions in exams. Many people choose to draw lots or throw coins. To a certain extent, this funny comparison is a precedent.
