Chapter 77 "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. However, the candidates who had already known the results of the admission examination did not leave. They surrounded the corner of the stone plaza and looked 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 to time and whisper.

The candidates' eyes were very complicated, some were puzzled and shocked. Some candidates were able to pass the first grade in the admission examination, surpassing the third grade of Xie Sanjun in the Southern Jin Dynasty. No one heard of them in advance, and they were completely unknown. The archery and horse skills in the two subjects of imperial shooting were fine. The young candidate was recommended by the military department or honed his skills on the frontier grassland. However, his mathematics subject was also on the first grade. You must know that Xie Chengyun, Zhong Dajun and Wang Ying, the three candidates who were highly anticipated, only got a first grade in this subject.

The candidate who was quick-mouthed could not 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, "How did you take the mathematics 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 just a typical behavior of being confused by unexpected news. 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, the boys and girls in Chang'an City started to talk about Situ Yilan's questioning.

As the military elected student, he actually won the first place in the three subjects. The candidates from the border military camps and major camps of the Tang Empire were of course very honorable, but their age was averagely older than other candidates, so they acted calmly and spoke. Although their hearts were towards Ning Que, they did not rush to say anything at this time.

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

Yuxian shook the fan and walked to Ning Que's side, reached out to climb on his shoulder, stared at the candidates, stared at the candidates and said, "What's there to be that you are not convinced? Ning Que is my friend. Who do you know he is? People are the ones who go to Hongxiuzhao to drink wine and make girls not have 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, social status and wealth accumulation 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. However, there are always places that are not afraid of family background, such as Hongxiuzhao, such as canteens in various departments, so whoever can travel across these places has become a place for each other to compete.

Ju Yuxian said that Ning Que didn't have to spend money when drinking wine in Hongxiuzhao. It was not a humiliation, but was really supporting him and making a name for him. Sure enough, when Ning Que heard that no one dared to mess with no one dared to beat Baitiao, 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 would be shocked by the shout of Yuxian. For example, Sangsang raised his little black face, frowned with a thick eyebrows, stared at the hand that was shaking on the young master's shoulder, and listened to him saying that the young master went to the brothel, his mood was not too high, and Situ Yilan looked at Ning Que with a strange look.

"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 many answers. So why are you on the A, and Mr. Xie San was just in the A?"

Situ Yilan shouted, holding 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 somewhat aware that Jing Mu, the third son of the Southern Jin Dynasty. At this time, the three sons are all covered by Ning Que. Wucai's expression is a little dim, so she couldn't help asking a few more questions. In addition, there is another more important reason that she probably didn't realize.

In the imperial examination room, she was knocked to the ground by the big dark horse and almost trampled on her face. As the daughter of General Yunhui, she couldn't even handle a horse. It can be said that she was in a very embarrassing state. Then Ning Que tamed the big dark horse so easily and eased, and ran out of the only grade in the imperial examination field. This really made her very incomprehensible. The grade in the mathematics category made her unable to understand it, and it was naturally difficult 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 papers. The cinnabar I've been summarizing the papers at that time, he answered it before the cinnabar I got melted, so he was on the A... This classmate, please let me go."

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-fifths of 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: "Who did she think she is?"

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 next few years."

"Is this... Professor Second?" Ning Que looked at the hunched old woman in the distance and suppressed her smile in her 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 and vision were not exactly the same as these ordinary candidates. What he valued more was 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 on 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 carefully: "I first use the exhaustive method of the mathematics subject, and then get the infinite number, and finally figured out the truth. I don't know this person..."

Situ Yilan leaned over to his ear and reported Ning Que's name. Xie Chengyun nodded and thanked him, 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 exhaust 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 similar to the style of a gentleman and 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, while others think that Ning Que is hiding his own private life. Only Xie Chengyun is enlightened. But when he was about to ask further, the voice of the academy teacher calling out the name sounded from afar.

"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 room to report... What does that mean? Why did he always feel like he was going to the Jingshi Department room to report, and felt a chill between his 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 young candidate who was reporting to the surgery department room, he felt a little relieved.

None of the candidates on the stone ping showed a look of surprise. In fact, the twilight was deep but they did not go home. The main reason was to hear whether the art department would click their names. They watched the people walking deep into the academy, with envious expressions on their faces. 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 sword art and talisman art in their future studies, so they are called art subjects. The students who were named before were the objects that the teachers believed had potential, and they underwent some examination of their mind power.

The reason why Ning Que was selected was related to the small hairpin and small 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 rarely failed. He 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." 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 Shiping looked at him became complicated, and some of the vague hostility in their eyes turned into sympathy. Of course, there were also occasional people with ridicule in their eyes.

The Tang people respect the strong, but they will not discriminate against the weak. Thousand years of romantic life have raised their tolerance and grand mood. Situ Yilan, who had been disliked by Ning Que, looked at him and sighed, sympathetically and comforted, "Don't be too disappointed, 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.
