The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 785

[Chapter 785 The competition officially begins]

This voice is indeed very strange, but it seems like I have heard it somewhere before.

Chen Zhaodi turned around and saw a very handsome young man in fine clothes standing in front of him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

She was slightly startled, then reacted immediately.

Standing in front of him is Xin’anhou!

“Xinxin’anhou!”

Chen Zhaodi was a little nervous.

Not to mention her, the same was true for Shopkeeper Chen and Mr. Arithmetic beside her.

The Marquis of Xin’an is a figure known as Xiaoge Lao. He is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. It is extremely rare to be able to catch a glimpse of him from a distance.

What’s more, face to face like this?

When Fang Xiu saw this scene, a smile appeared on his face, he took a step forward, patted Chen Zhaodi on the shoulder, and said with a smile: “Don’t be burdened, it’s just a competition, nothing like your usual exams in the academy. The difference.”

“Students know!”

After hearing this, Chen Zhaodi took a deep breath and his nervousness eased a lot.

Because her only burden when coming here to participate in the competition is the one thousand taels of silver.

One thousand taels of silver gave her great confidence, but also gave her a great burden.

She knew what one thousand taels of silver meant, and she also understood why the academy gave her a bonus of one thousand taels of silver.

Therefore, she became even more nervous and afraid, afraid that she would not be able to compare with those scholars.

Afraid of causing embarrassment to the academy, afraid of causing embarrassment to Xin’an Hou.

I was afraid that Xin’an Hou would throw away the thousand taels of silver in vain.

However, at this moment, I heard from Xin’an Hou that he had read his test paper and heard that it was just a small competition.

She instantly relaxed a lot and no longer felt the same as before.

Seeing that she had relaxed a little, Fang Xiu waved his hand and said, “Go, the competition is about to start. Someone will send you test papers, and charcoal has been prepared. You just need to feel at ease.” Just take the exam.”

“Yes, Marquis Xin’an!”

Chen Zhaodi responded, glanced at his father and husband, saw them nodding, bowed again, and turned to leave.

The host of this competition was the Imperial Academy’s sacrificial wine.

There is no doubt that only the Imperial Academy’s wine ceremony can stabilize such a scene.

In other words, only the Imperial Academy’s sacrificial wine could convince the scholars.

There is no doubt that the Imperial Academy’s wine sacrifices were naturally aimed at the scholars, and the titles given by the Imperial Academy and the Hanlin Academy were naturally selected from ancient books with slight changes.

But Fang Xiu didn’t care. He also believed that the students of the New School could beat these scholars in terms of arithmetic.

No matter what level of scholar the other party is, they have been studying arithmetic for many years.

There is no way, Fang Xiu spent a lot of effort compiling “Basic Arithmetic”.

In addition to college mathematics and linear algebra, this book does not cover more advanced knowledge. It covers everything else. As long as the students of the new college study it well, the “Suzhou Sutra” is not the same thing at all!

The content of this competition is very simple, it is an exam.

There are five people on a paper, and whoever has a higher average score will win.

It stands to reason that after marking, this test paper will be divided into four grades: A, B, C and D.

But under Fang Xiu’s strong interference, the hundred-percent system was naturally chosen.

In this case, statistics will be more convenient.

The scholars were reluctant at first. After all, the hundred-point system was used in new academies.

But after thinking about it, this is indeed clearer, and it can also make people in this new academy more convinced when they lose.

Therefore, nothing more was said.

The surname of the Imperial College Jiu Jiu is Lu. He is already quite old now, with gray hair and a little blurry eyes.

But just standing there does give people a majestic feeling, and it looks extraordinary.

Lu Jijiu stood in the middle, waiting quietly.

After a while, Chen Zhaodi, the last candidate to take part in the competition, walked to the main hall and reached her own seat.

After everyone saw Chen Zhaodi’s face clearly, they were silent at first, and then a burst of heated discussion broke out.

“Why is it a child, or a woman!?”

“What does this mean? Does Mr. Xin’an want to insult me in this way?”

“I think it is possible. After all, Mr. Xin’an always does things unexpectedly.”

“What? It’s called self-destruction. This is called self-destruction. I gave up a place before the competition. If this is the case, it would be a joke if the new academy can win!”

The scholars onlookers said, ” What a joke!”

With such magnanimity, they were still extremely angry after seeing the child Chen Zhaodi.

The Marquis of Xin’an didn’t take them seriously!

Not to mention these scholars, even the common people who were watching were all surprised.

“Why did a child come to this new-style academy?”

“What’s wrong with the child? Can’t he be proficient in arithmetic? I don’t think this child will lose?”

“Hey, why are you so illogical? Could it be that this child is a relative of yours?”

“I’m her father! Why? “No

wonder

“

there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and it was the same on the stage.

Several scholars looked at Chen Zhaodi, their facial muscles twitching a little, obviously unable to accept that they were participating in the same competition with such a child.

But it’s hard for them to say anything.

After all, who the other party sends to participate in this competition is their business, and they really have nothing to interfere with.

As for the other four students from Xinshi Academy who participated in the competition.

They all knew the news before this, so there was nothing surprising.

He just looked at Chen Zhaodi curiously.

Curious and admiring at the same time, they all heard what their Mr. Arithmetic said.

This child has the highest score in the entire new academy. It’s okay to have a high score. This was the last question that they had no idea about, but they also found an idea.

I really have to admire it!

And he’s still so young.

You must be a master of arithmetic in the future!

As for Mr. Lu, the Imperial College priest, his eyes were dim and he didn’t see what Chen Zhaodi looked like at all. He just felt that it was a bit noisy, so he frowned and said loudly in a vicissitudes of life: “Quiet!”

His voice was a little hoarse. After all, I am older.

But when the scholars saw it, they hurriedly shut up.

The prestige of the Imperial Academy’s wine ceremony is displayed there.

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.

Seeing that the surroundings were quiet when the Imperial Academy was offering wine, he turned his head and looked around, seeing that all ten people were present.

So, he waved his hands and said: “The students are all here. Now the competition will officially begin. All the test papers will be put down. You have an hour to read them carefully and answer them carefully.

If you leave midway, it will be regarded as the end .”

Answer sheet, do you understand everything?”
