"This, this, 1000 taels, it's really..." He hesitated and wanted to refuse.

When everyone saw this, they said:

"Don't back off! He wants to give you money for free, so why don't you accept it?"

"That's right, do you think Senior Brother Ruan will lose to him?"

"You don't even want the free money, are you still a man?"

……

Amidst the voices of the crowd, the man's expression was full of nervousness: "You put it lightly, in case, in case he wins, I will pay you 10 taels of silver! Whoever dares to pick it up, pick it up."

Jia Jue's odds were 1000 per 10. If he won, the [-] taels would become [-] taels in an instant.

What is the concept of 10 taels of silver?Both Rongning and Ningfu are the Dukes of the state, and all their salaries, land rent collection, human filial piety, etc. are tied together, and the total income in a year is only so much, or even less.

This is an astronomical number for most people.

Many people looked at each other in blank dismay, 10 taels was indeed too much.

But at this moment, Ruan Qing got up and walked in front of him, took the purse, and said lightly to Jia Jue:

"I'll accept this round. If you win against me, I will give you 10 taels of silver."

coax!

As soon as these words came out, the audience shouted excitedly.

Ruan Qing actually took this bet!

"My God, Senior Brother Ruan actually took it, doesn't that mean that he will win?"

"Oh, if you want me to tell you, you are too timid, and the matter of giving away money for nothing, Senior Brother will naturally not refuse."

"Hey, don't you understand? Senior Brother Ruan's family is rich in Jiangnan, and he is not short of money. He took over this game because he just didn't want to lose his momentum."

"Haha, I want to see how Jia Jue lost the competition and lost the silver again."

"It's a pole, it's a pole, the heroes see the same thing. That scene must be very exciting."

……

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Jia Jue smiled lightly, bowed his hands to him, and said sincerely:

"In that case, I would like to thank Senior Brother Ruan Gao Yi."

Ruan Qing glanced at him and said indifferently: "A young man is frivolous. He should be prudent in his words and deeds in the future, read more and talk less, so as not to lose the honor of our Imperial College."

As soon as these words came out, many people laughed, and looked at Jia Jue with ridicule in their eyes. Ruan Qing took this opportunity to teach him a lesson.

Jia Jue didn't get angry when he heard the words, but just glanced at him lightly: "Tomorrow, please prepare the money tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

Looking at his back, everyone showed disdain. Words like "outrageous", "arrogant", "ignorant" and "ridiculous" keep appearing.

There was a contemptuous smile on Ruan Qing's mouth, and he didn't care about preparing silver at all.

Could he lose?

……

Because of the main push of the "10 taels" gambling game, the competition between the two ignited the entire Imperial College with the momentum of a spark.

Even the most reclusive bookworms who "don't hear anything outside the window" were alarmed. The entire Guozijian, from the priest and wine minister to the student servants, all focused their attention on this matter.

In their unanimous expectation, the time soon came to the day of the competition.

The site of the competition was selected on the largest square in the Imperial College.

There are two sets of tables and chairs in the center of the square, and there are pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. This is where Jia Jue and Ruan Qing take the exam.

In front of the table and chairs, there is a row of long desks. Here are the seats of Sun Yi, Chu Xun, Liu Yang and the nine learned men.

Jia Jue and Ruan Qing will complete the exam in front of their eyes.

They formed the core of today's competition, and outside the core, they were all open spaces, and the students of Guozijian could watch the competition between the two at will.

Of course, they were separated by some distance from Jia Jue and Ruan Qing, and what they said basically wouldn't interfere with the two of them.

In the morning, half an hour before the test, the square was already crowded with people.

They gathered together, discussing the upcoming competition and the 10 taels of silver bet in twos and threes.

Of course, they are basically optimistic about Ruan Qing. After all, he has been famous for a long time. He is a man of influence in Guozijian. Many doctors (the academic officials specializing in the teaching of classics) believe that Ruan Qing's level should be in the top two.

The so-called Erjia refers to the second-class jinshi.

After the palace exam, the final ranking of candidates will be made, which will be divided into three grades: first-class, second-class, and third-class.

The first one is that there are only three people, which is usually said: the champion, the second place, and the third flower.Then came the Second Class and Third Class Scholars.

The second-class jinshi is already a very rare honor.

In the sound of everyone's discussion, the time soon came to Chenshi.

Sun Yi, Chu Xun, and Liu Yang entered the square with nine Confucian scholars from the Imperial College.

"Meet the teachers!" All the students in the square bowed and saluted in a sincere tone.

Respecting teachers and respecting Taoism is the virtue of this era.

Sun Yi and others just came to the seat and sat down, and one person followed closely and came to the venue, it was Ruan Qing.

And the last one who came was Jia Jue.

Seeing Jia Jue's elegant appearance, everyone's eyes were mixed with various emotions, envy, jealousy, surprise, of course, most of them were ridicule and disdain.

When Ruan Qing and Sun Yi both came to their seats, Sun Yi stood up and spoke to everyone.

The meaning is probably that Ruan Qing and Jia Jue are both rare talents. They were unable to take the qualification examination for the township examination for some reason, so they need to record the bequest. The number of places for the bequest is limited.

I hope that Ruan Qing and Jia Jue can carry forward a fair and fair style, and test their style and attitude.

After the scene was finished, Sun Yi distributed the test papers to the two.

At the same time, the other end of the square also announced the exam questions to the crowd.

A group of students hurriedly gathered around and watched the exam questions.

But when they saw the exam questions, they all opened their eyes wide and their faces were stunned:

They knew every word on the test question, but why did they not know each other when they were arranged together to form the test question?

Is this really a test question and not a book from heaven?

Chapter 102 Hell Level Difficulty

Yes, let alone answer, many people can't even read the test questions.

"Senior Brother Song, come and see, what are the solutions to these math problems?" Someone immediately pulled a person and asked him.

This Senior Brother Song is not an ordinary person. He has been studying in Guozijian for many years. He has already passed the township examination and achieved fame. Now he is preparing for the Spring Festival in the coming year. It is said that admission should be no problem.

He came to the bulletin board of the exam questions confidently. For him, the questions of the rural exam were just at his fingertips.

But when he saw the test paper, he showed a look of astonishment. The test paper was not only about the eight-legged test questions, but also some questions such as arithmetic and laws.

These questions are very tricky and uncommon, and one of them is as follows:

Today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage, with 35 heads on the top and 94 feet on the bottom. How many are the pheasant rabbits?

He had never seen or thought about such a topic before.

Rabbits and chickens appeared in his mind. At first, he could clearly describe chickens and rabbits in his mind, but after a long time, his mind became completely confused.

He even had the urge to start drawing feet one by one and slowly forgetting.

After trying for a while, he was completely at a loss, and in desperation he could only look at the second question, but this time, he was at a loss for a while:

There are things I don’t know how many, three or three and two are left, five and five are three and seven and seven are two.Ask the geometry?

This is more tricky than the pheasant and rabbit in the same cage. He can draw the head, draw the feet, and figure it out, but he doesn't even know where to start with the problem in front of him.

As expected, it was a question jointly proposed by nine great Confucian scholars. It was indeed extremely difficult.

He showed embarrassment to everyone, shook his head and said, "The nine teachers are very knowledgeable, and I am beyond my reach. This is learning, and I can't answer it."

Everyone nodded in unison, this is too difficult to learn.

"Senior Brother Song, there aren't many math exams, and it's better to skip it. Let's take a look at this policy." Someone quickly comforted him.

Senior Brother Song nodded and turned to the question, his eyes widened even more.

My dear, the content of this policy question is beyond the horizon. It asks about the administration of officials, people's livelihood, Huaihe, Yellow River affairs, and even diplomatic strategies with neighboring countries.

He widened his eyes, is this really just a competition?Instead of the emperor asking the cabinet scholars for advice?

If you can answer this, you are a genius!

He pondered on the spot for a while, only to feel that one of the first two was big, and there were a lot of contents that he couldn't figure out at all, and couldn't figure it out.

In desperation, he could only say with a face of shame: "This policy question is really too broad and involves a lot. Please forgive me for my powerlessness."

Everyone nodded their heads in deep emotion. These questions are really not something that a little student of them can see through and understand.

"Senior Brother Song, let's take a look at this scripture." Someone called.

The so-called scriptures are like filling in the blanks and dictation in modern exam papers.The examiner selects a page from the scriptures and selects a line to print on the test paper.Based on this line of text, candidates fill in the context associated with it.

Brother Song's spirit was shocked. This is the main test of memory, and it is also his strength.

But when he saw those topics, he was completely dumbfounded.

An ordinary scripture will give a sentence.

But here's post scriptures, only a few words are given, such as the first question:

"National Road"

In an instant, a sentence appeared in his mind, the country is right, it is unchanged, and it is strong and arrogant.

It was the most common in his memory.

But then, several sentences with "national way" appeared in his mind intermittently.
