Chapter 399

In the morning exam, no one handed in their papers in advance.

When Liu Xiu inspected, he found that most of the people were stuck in the fourth magic number.

The topic of "chicken and rabbit in the same cage" is a topic in Sunzi Suanjing. This book was written in the northern and Southern Dynasties, more than 200 years later. In this era, if you know the number of skills, you can find a way to solve this problem. If you don't know the number of skills, it will be difficult.

Therefore, it is this question that many people are hesitant about.

By the time the paper was handed in, there were still countless taxis that could not give an answer, and they could only be empty in the end. Because you can't calculate it, you can't give an accurate answer.

There are also some people who give the right answer, but there are no steps. Because this answer is a hypothesis one by one, and then test the answer up.

Very few people have come to the real answer.

From the examination room, all the people were talking and waiting to leave.

After Liao Hua, Huo Jun and Yang Yu left, they went back to their resting place to prepare for the test in the afternoon.

Test in the afternoon, on time.

Where is Jingzhou road?

This question is easy to answer, but if you want to answer it in depth, it is not easy. Two hours of time, one by one is to write hard, to write their own ideas in the manuscript.

Two hours after the test, everyone's papers were collected, and the reference taxis were all scattered.

Five days!

All taxis need to wait for five days. After five days, the list will be released and the candidates will be announced.

For Shizi, these five days are waiting and suffering, but for Yi Ji, Kuai Liang and other officials, they are already very busy. Because Liu Xiu handed over all the examination papers to them.

Yi Ji, Kuai Liang, Pang Degong, Sima Hui, Huang Chengyan, Xiangyang County Magistrate, county magistrate, county captain and the rest of the ten Xiangyang great Confucians, all gathered in the county government to review the papers, and then divided the high and low.

On October 24, the morning of the sixth day of marking, when it was only a quarter of an hour away from Chenshi, I finally separated all the papers.

Today, it's time to announce the results.

But now, just after the review, there is no time to deal with other things.

Yi Ji said: "after five days and six nights of hard work, Zhugong ate and drank in the county government, and never left. The magistrate of Xiangyang County will take the princes down to have a rest. When the list of all the shortlisted people is announced today, the Lord will give a separate banquet to thank the princes after the matter is handled properly. "

After hearing this, everyone said that it was not hard.

Before I came here, everyone collected money and got benefits. Naturally, it was different.

Yi Ji's eyes turned, looked at Kuai Liang and said: "zirou, time is urgent. It's estimated that countless taxis are waiting now. In this way, you can take a list of the people who have passed the examination and immediately post it outside the county government, so as to appease the scholar's heart. I took a list and sent it to the Lord immediately. Originally, I should have asked my Lord for instructions. Now I don't have time. I can only do this. "

Kuai Liang nodded and said, "I don't want to drive. I think it's all right

The two split into two lines. Yi Ji took the shortlist and went to the prefectural government for interest. Kuai Liang, with the help of the soldiers from the county government, began to post the shortlist.

Outside the county government, there have already been a circle of taxis.

All the people are waiting, waiting for this moment.

It's a great opportunity for the poor scholars or the children of the aristocratic family. If you are on the list, it means that you have entered Jingzhou officialdom and reached the peak of your life.

"Creak!"

The gate of the county government was opened.

In an instant, outside the county government, there was a lot of excitement.

Liao Hua stood in the crowd with a nervous look. With the ranking coming out, Liao Hua squeezed in and looked down from the top. But after seeing the top ten, Liao Hua's heart sank to the bottom.

Not in the top ten!

Liao Hua bears his mind and looks down.

Not in the top 20!

Rao is so, Liao Hua is still not determined. Because there are hundreds of people on the list. Unfortunately, Liao Hua did not find his own name after reading all of them.

Liao Hua is very confident in his answer.

Even if it was a mathematical problem, he also did the answer and gave the correct answer.

As for the fifth question in the afternoon, Liao Hua is also clear-cut and gives a detailed game theory.

In Liao Hua's opinion, even if his answer paper can't get into the top three, the top ten is safe, but now the result is not even in the top ten, which is really disappointing.

"I thought it would be fair and just this time. It seems that it is also a muddy water."

In Liao Hua's heart, he could not help sighing.

Liao Hua left the county government and went to the inn where he lived. Walking out of his room, Liao Hua hesitates in his eyes and feels guilty on his face."Alas..."

With a sigh, Liao Hua knocked on the door.

A moment later, the door opened and a young woman opened it. The woman was of medium beauty, but she was born with a pretty face. Her manner was full of scholarliness.

This woman is Liao Hua's wife, the Zhou family.

Seeing Liao Hua, Zhou quickly welcomed him in.

Liao Yu asked her if she had a cup of tea.

Liao Hua said, "madam, I've lost the list. There are more than 100 people on the list, but I don't have my name."

With a smile, Zhou said, "it's not my husband's fault that he failed in the list. It's because the prefectural government can't recognize talents."

Liao Hua shook his head and said, "madam, I don't agree. Do you know? On that day, in the examination room, Liu Jingzhou came up to me. He personally said that I was good at writing and that he thought I was good. But why is it like this again? "

Zhou said: "husband, Liu Jingzhou is optimistic about you, but after all, it's not him who reviews the papers. Perhaps, the husband's paper is not in line with the mind of the reader. "

Liao Hua continued: "I've been studying hard for decades in the cold window. I'm not willing to go back with this name."

"What's the problem?" said Zhou? Even if it is not reconciled, my husband has no way to solve it now. Husband, it's better to work hard now than to feel sorry for yourself. It is the so-called win not arrogant, defeat not discouraged. If my husband fails this time, there will always be another time. In addition, there are people out there, and there are days out there. Maybe the people on the list are really talented. "

After hearing this, Liao Hua said, "madam, thank you for your comfort. My wife comes from a famous family, but she suffers with me. It's my fault that makes my wife suffer. "

There was no complaint on Zhou's face. On the contrary, his eyes were more firm. He said, "my husband has outstanding talent, both civil and martial arts, and he will surely come to the fore in the future. It is the so-called "heaven will send a great task to this person". We must first work hard and work hard. My husband's present sufferings are all for his future accumulation. "

"Madame!"

Listening to Zhou's words of comfort, Liao Hua felt grateful.

If you have a wife like this, why do you want a husband?

Unfortunately, he failed to give Zhou a better environment.

With a slight smile, Zhou continued: "this is the end of the matter, husband. Let's clean up. Today, we will set out to return to Zhonglu county. My husband will return to Zhonglu County for a while to study, and then wait for the chance. "

Liao Hua thought about it and said, "madam, can you wait any longer? Let's leave in the afternoon. I'm not reconciled. In case, in case it is missed, what will be added later? "

Zhou saw his husband's expression, but he couldn't bear to fight again. Nodded, Zhou said: "all listen to my husband."

Liao Hua laughs miserably and takes out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone to continue studying.
