Xianjin said calmly, "Don't count it, you are not wrong, these people in long gowns did pay more."
Lu Badan was dumbfounded. "But... he is a scholar. How could he make a mistake?"
Xianjin continued calmly, "If the imperial examination was about math, they could calculate for you how far the moon is from here - doesn't that mean the imperial examination doesn't test math?"
It's exam-oriented education.
If you take the test in one field, you will succeed in that field. If you don’t take the test in one field, you will be a coward.
Haven’t you seen? The question is: A few days ago, five scholars were collecting money at a counter. Each knife was selling 100 sheets of paper. The question was: How many sheets of paper did each of the five scholars get?
——The five men in long gowns counted stealthily in front of the counter, head to head and shoulder to shoulder for half an hour, and finally came to a very ridiculous conclusion: each of them took 19.8888 pieces of paper home.
Xianjin: As long as there is no decimal point, she thinks the calculation makes sense.
The arithmetic is poor. There is one type of conspicuous bag, and there is another type of A that is extremely picky.
Question: Three scholars pooled their money to buy a roll of paper. How many sheets did each of them take home?
The result is: 33.3333 pieces.
This person is good at math but stingy.
Three scholars sharpened their knives and were ready to tear the papers at any time.
What I mean is, can each person take thirty-four pieces of paper and pay four more copper coins?
"Shopkeeper He——"
As soon as Xianjin turned around, he was invited to the study of Magistrate Xiong.
The door of the study was wide open, and Magistrate Xiong made a "please sit down" gesture to Xianjin, and casually threw the documents that were not yet warm in front of Xianjin, "Big business, let's see if you have the ability to do it."
Xianjin read ten lines at a glance, and when he looked up again, there was a raging fire in his eyes.
Prefect Xiong was almost blinded by the light in the little girl's eyes, and he covered his eyes with his hands, "Don't look at me like that. I, your Excellency Xiong, don't have the ability to help you set up the business in Yingtian Prefecture."
He waved his hand again and told the servant, "Give this girl a bowl of almond cheese."
Children should not drink tea.
Xianjin rested his hands on the table in front of his chest, his eyes were burning, and he spoke very quickly, "Is the other one Baiji?"
Prefect Xiong was not surprised that Xianjin had guessed correctly, and nodded, "Now the post of Yingtian prefect is vacant, and the prefectural chancellor is in a hot position. Bai Ji has made the right choice and embraced the God of Wealth. You should think of a way. If you want to win this game..."
Prefect Xiong shook his head. "It's not easy."
If Qingcheng Mountain Court was still there, who would dare to mess with this girl?
Qiao Fangzhi accepted him as his last disciple, and he had broken through the secular taboos of gender. I wonder how the old man would protect him?
Now that the prefect is not here, according to what the tutor said, Chen Ji is naturally the first choice, but Bai Ji has the endorsement of the prefectural chancellor, so he is not without any chance of fighting.
"You have to work hard first." Prefect Xiong patiently told Xianjin how to behave and do things. "Business is like an examination hall. No matter how well you write essays, if you are confused and write nonsense during the exam, what's the use? This is a business. No matter how well you sell your products and how good your reputation is, if the government really wants to choose, who will care about 'what ordinary people like more'?"
"That Wang Xuezheng came from the Ministry of Rites, and his roots are not in Nanzhili. If he gets stubborn, he may not dare to fight with the prefectural chancellor. Isn't your Erlang studying hard in Yingtian Prefecture now? Not only will Xuancheng Prefecture have high hopes for Erlang in the spring examination next year, I believe the entire Nanzhili is looking forward to him winning the top three."
Prefect Xiong was a member of the imperial examinations. He did not participate in the imperial examinations and officialdom, but that did not mean he did not understand. "Tell Erlang to take the initiative to bring a gift package and wine to Wang Xuezheng. I will guarantee him and ask him to submit two articles and find a teacher. Isn't your Chen family closer to me than the Bai family, the concubine's family?"
A disciple is like a son, Heaven, Earth, the Emperor, parents and teachers.
In this era, the master-disciple relationship is a very close connection.
The ninth clan of the nine clans is the master and his disciple.
Xianjin pursed his lips.
If it can both build relationships for Star of Hope and help the Chen family get business, Madam Qu will definitely agree wholeheartedly.
However, Xianjin is not the type of person who puts his hopes on others.
What if Wang Xuezheng is unwilling to help?
What if Wang Xuezheng can’t convince the prime minister?
What's more, Chen Jianfang first became a disciple of Master Qiao. Now that Master Qiao is in prison, he has chosen to be his new disciple. This... this is probably not the character that a scholar has been seeking all his life, right?
Xian did not directly answer whether he agreed or not. He lowered his head in silence for a moment. When he looked up again, he asked three questions in a row, "According to your estimate, how many scholars will take the autumn examination in Nanzhili this year? How many steps are there in marking the papers? Can you get the paper used in the autumn and spring examinations in the past?"
