Chapter 78 "Academic Discussion" in Twilight

The dusk was already thick, and the golden light turned the mountain behind the academy into an extremely high altar. There seemed to be a warm feeling between the bluestone cracks on the stone plaza, urging people to return, but they already knew the results of the admission examination. The candidates did not leave, surrounded a corner of Shiping, looking at the young candidate who looked extremely ordinary. Occasionally, they would pay attention to the little maid next to him, and turned their heads from time to time and whispered.

The candidates' eyes were very complicated, some were confused and shocked. Some candidates were able to pass the third grade in the admission examination, surpassing the third son of Xie in the Southern Jin Dynasty. No one heard of it in advance, and they were completely unknown. Who are you. It's okay to have the skills of bow and horses in the two subjects of imperial shooting. The young candidate was recommended by the military department, or had a good skill on the frontier grassland. However, his mathematics subject was actually on the A. You should know that Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun, Wang Ying, the three candidates who were highly anticipated, just got a first-class exam in this subject.

The candidate who was quick-mouthed couldn't help but raise his doubts, and immediately received a response from some people. Situ Yilan sorted out the front robe that had been wrinkled by herself before, frowned and looked at Ning Que and said, "You are a mathematics subject." How did you take the exam?"

This sentence was full of doubts and a bit of a tough and dissatisfied voice. Ning Que was a little displeased when he heard it. However, looking at the girl's expression, he was sure that the other party had no malicious intentions, but that typical example of being stunned by unexpected news He showed a confused expression behind his mind, so he spread his hands and smiled innocently without answering.

The military department has elected more than 70 candidates to be admitted this year, which has already made many people in Chang'an City not so happy. At this time, Ning Que overwhelmed most people's limelight. Seeing that he did not answer, those in Chang'an City The boys and girls started to talk about Situ Yilan's questioning.

As the military elected student, he actually grabbed the top spot in the three subjects. The candidates from the border military camps and major camps of the Tang Empire are of course very honorable, but their age is average than other candidates, so He acted calmly and spoke, although his heart was towards Ning Que, he did not rush to say anything at this time.

However, there was a Chang'an young master who couldn't stand it anymore.

Yuxian shook the fan and walked to Ning Que's side, reached out to climb on his shoulder, glared at the candidates, stared at the candidates and said, "What's there to be that bad? Ning Que is my friend, do you know who he is. ? People are the ones who go to Hongxiuzhao to drink wine and tell girls not to spend money! What else can he not do in this world?"

Speaking of the fact that young people in Chang'an City are more effective than those who have greater officials and who earn more money. For an open and active society like the Tang Dynasty, the social status and The accumulation of wealth will change drastically at any time, and it seems too vulgar and boring. What they value more is their personal talent, reputation and strength, and who is the most prosperous in Chang'an City.

Of course, if you want to stay in Chang'an City, you cannot completely deviate from the role of family background. But there are always places where you are not afraid of family background, such as Hongxiuzhao, such as canteens in various departments, so who can do this? These places have become places for each other to compete.

Yuxian said that Ning Que didn't have to spend money when drinking wine in Hongxiuzhuan. It was not a humiliation, but a real support for him and a reputation. Sure enough, when they heard Ning Que's red sleeves that no one dared to provoke no one dared to beat the white strip, the expressions of the young men and women in Chang'an changed suddenly, and when they looked at Ning Que, they felt a little respectful.

Not everyone will be shocked by the shout of Yuxian. For example, Sangsang raised his little black face, frowned with thick eyebrows, stared at the hand that was shaking on the young master's shoulder, and listened to him saying Yumi. When I went to the brothel, my mood was not too high, and Situ Yilan's eyes looked at Ning Que a little strange.

"I still don't agree. The mathematics exam is just one big question. Right is right, wrong is wrong. The Master drank a few pots of wine and cut a few kilograms of plums. He couldn't have several answers. So why are you A? Go, is Mr. Xie just a member of the A?"

Situ Yilan shouted with Jin Wucai's little hand, very unwilling to accept it.

She is not a rude and unreasonable character on weekdays, but she knows that her female companion, Jin Wucai, is a little bit like Jing Mu, the third young master of the Southern Jin. At this time, the three young masters are all covered by Ning Que, and Wucai's expression is a little dim, so she endures it. I kept asking a few more questions, and there was another more important reason that she probably didn't realize.

On the imperial examination room, she was knocked to the ground by the big dark horse and was almost trampled on. As the daughter of General Yunhui, she couldn't even handle a horse. It can be said that she was extremely embarrassed. Then Ning She was very uncomprehensible, but she tamed the big dark horse so easily and easily, and ran out of the only grade in the A-level of the Yukeli, which really made her very uncomprehensible. The grade in the A-level of the Mathematics Department made her unable to understand, and she could not understand nature. It's hard to be content.

Just then, an old voice suddenly sounded in the crowd.

"Because he is the first person to hand in the mathematics exam. Such an idiot's question is not even as good as an idiot, so he can't answer the test papers. The cinnabar I've been summarizing at that time has not yet melted. He answered, so he was on the A... This classmate, please give in."

An old woman wearing a blue cloth coat and holding a bamboo broom in her hand appeared at a corner of Shiping. She hunched over and slowly swept away the dust from the crowd's feet, and the person slowly walked out.

Looking at the back of the old woman who disappeared deep in the academy, the candidates were speechless. In fact, at least four out of five people failed to answer this mathematics exam, but the old woman said that this was a question that even an idiot could answer. Someone couldn't help but say angrily: "She thought she was Who is it?"

A famous teacher outside the crowd replied coldly: "She is the only female honorary professor in the academy. Those of you who have been admitted to the academy will be in her hands for the mathematics subjects in the next few years."

"Is this... Professor Second?" Ning Que looked at the hunched old woman in the distance and suppressed her smile in his heart.

Xie Chengyun, the third son of Xie San of Nanjin, was completely calm at this time. Although he also had a young and energetic side, he was still the first in the total score of the admission test today. Moreover, his goals are not exactly the same as these ordinary candidates, and his vision is also not the same. Not exactly the same. What he values ​​more is how to enter the second floor of the academy. The young candidate in front of him should be an ordinary person, so it would be meaningless to argue with the other party about these things.

On the contrary, after hearing the old woman's words, he knew that Ning Que had only taken such a short time to get the answer. He couldn't help but feel a little impressed and asked seriously: "I will use the question of mathematics to exhaust it first. Then you get infinite numbers, and finally you understand the truth, and don't know this person…"

Situ Yilan came to his ear and reported Ning Que's name. Xie Chengyun nodded and thanked her, looking at Ning Que and continued, "I wonder how Brother Ning calculated it? Did he use other algorithms, so the speed is so fast?"

"If you know it is an infinite number at a glance, why bother to take it to the front? If you want to tell the last answer, I am actually too lazy to push it back, and I will write it up almost that number."

Ning Que's answer is quite the same as a gentleman, and he seems extremely irresponsible, but in fact he is not talking nonsense. The so-called conversion between infinite concepts and precise values ​​is nothing more than irresponsible ambiguity.

Many people don't understand. Some people think that Ning Que is a big fortune, and some people think that Ning Que is hiding his own private life. Only Xie Chengyun is enlightened. But when he was about to ask further, the academy rang out from afar. The voice of the teacher named.

"Xie Chengyun, Wang Ying, Ning Que, Chen Simiao, He Yingqin... went to the art department to report."

Ning Que was stunned when he heard his name and went to the surgery department to report... What does that mean? Why do I always feel like I want to go to Jingshifang to report, and feel the coldness between my legs? But it seemed that it was not convenient to ask anyone about this matter, so he explained to Sangsang a few words, followed Xie Chengyun and others to the depths of the academy. When he found that there was a girl candidate who was reported to the art department, he was a little bit more. Let go of your heart.

None of the candidates on the stone ping showed a look of surprise. In fact, the twilight was already deep, but they did not go home. The main reason was that they wanted to hear if the art department would click their names. They looked at those The man walked deep into the academy, his face full of envy. Situ Yilan kicked the crack of the bluestone slab in disappointment, looked at Ning Que's back and muttered in a low voice: "Why did this guy steal all the good things?"

It didn't take long for the seven or eight candidates to come back from the depths of the academy, as if they were just wandering around. Xie Chengyun's expression was calm, while Wang Ying and other candidates could not hide their joy. Only Ning Que had no expression on his face. .

The academy sets up special technical subjects outside the six subjects, in order to cultivate students with potential for cultivation, those students will be exposed to the art of swords and talismans in their future studies, so they are called the art subject. The students who were named before were the objects that the teachers believed had potential, and they underwent some mental examination.

The reason why Ning Que was selected was related to the small hairpin hairpin he left on the ink scroll today and the quick response to the mathematics test questions. The academy believed that he should have the potential for practice, but the teaching responsible for physical examination was It was rare to miss his hand and was disappointed to find that he had all the orifices in the snowy mountains of Qihai.

But he has experienced a transition between hope and disappointment again. If there is no hope, there is no disappointment. Ning Que is very clear about his physical condition, so he can treat it calmly.

Xie Chengyun had already entered the path of cultivation in the Southern Jin Dynasty. Of course, there was no excitement. Wang Ying and others only realized today that they might enter the legendary mysterious gate, but it was difficult to suppress their excitement.

"I can't do it." Ning Que spread his hands and explained to everyone: "Oh... I can't say it can't... The teacher said that my willpower is fine, but the snow mountain and qi sea are a little worse, and his body is not suitable for practice."

The academy called seven people, but he was the only one who failed the inspection. The eyes of the candidates on the Shiping looked at him became complicated, and some of the vague hostility in their eyes became sympathy. Of course, there were also occasional few people who looked at him. ridicule.

The Tang people respect the strong, but they will not discriminate against the weak. Thousand years of romantic life have raised their tolerant and generous state of mind. Situ Yilan, who had been disliked by Ning Que, looked at him and sighed, sympathetically and comforted, "Don't be too disappointed, After all, there are only a few people who can practice. You can't see that we are different."

"This is reasonable, and it is not necessarily a waste of firewood if you cannot practice." Ning Que took the kettle from Sangsang and drank it. He looked at her and said with a smile: "I am a professional firewood chopper."

After saying this, the master and servant walked out of the academy under the twilight.
