"Dad? Mom? Master? "
At the foot of Yunshan Mountain, Chen Shuozhen, who was imagining her beautiful life after being admitted to Yanhuang College, heard Chen Shuoyu's words. Her bright face couldn't help but show some sadness because she thought of her deceased parents and master!
For two seven or eight-year-old girls, losing their parents was already a very painful thing. However, they lost their master this year. As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." This was equivalent to experiencing the pain of losing a loved one again!
This could be said to be cruel to the two sisters!
Fortunately, after they came to Chang 'an City, they met a series of benefactors, and their situation gradually improved!
"Dad, Mom, Master, don't worry. I will definitely lead Xiaoyu to live a good life in Beijing!"
Chen Shuoyu raised her head and looked at the clouds in the sky as she said with determination.
On the 15th of July in the second year of Zhenguan Era, the first empress in China's history gave a "grand wish" to "live a good life in Beijing" at the foot of Yunshan Mountain!
"Okay! It's getting late! I should go up the mountain! Xiaoyu, wait under the shade of the tree. I will bring you back after the exam! Don't run around! "
"Okay! Sis, you will definitely pass! "
Chen Shuoyu raised her head and replied crisply. Then, she watched as Chen Shuozhen left.
Clang, clang, clang ~!
At 5: 30 pm, the bell and drum on Yunshan Mountain rang again, indicating that the second entrance exam for Yanhuang College had officially begun.
In the engineering exam hall, the subject in the afternoon was mathematics, which accounted for 50% of the total score. Therefore, all the examinees attached great importance to it. In the past year, they had spent most of their time studying Yanhuang College's new mathematics!
However, the questions for this year's mathematics exam were much more difficult than last year's. This was because from the time Li Zexuan announced the establishment of Yanhuang College on Datang Daily to the end of July, only three to four months had passed. In other words, the average preparation time for the examinees was definitely less than three months!
At most, only one person could complete the introductory level of mathematics in two months. It would be too much to ask someone to become proficient in mathematics!
Therefore, eighty percent of the questions in the mathematics section of the Academy's entrance examination last year were basic questions. Only the last question was somewhat difficult and was used to widen the gap between the students.
However, it was different this year. The candidates who came to take the entrance exam for Yanhuang College had generally prepared for the exam for more than half a year. Many of them had already started to prepare for this year's entrance exam when the entrance exam for Yanhuang College had just ended last year.
In addition, at the beginning of this year, Li Er had personally issued a decree ordering all schools and government offices in the various provinces and counties of the Great Tang to switch to using the new method of accounting. For a period of time, the entire Great Tang was in a frenzy to learn the new method of accounting, and the standard of the Great Tang citizens was raised!
Last year, if you were to ask ten people on the street for the mnemonic formula of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, no one would be able to answer it. But now, seven out of ten people would be able to answer it!
Therefore, due to this situation, the difficulty of the mathematics questions this time was much higher than last year's. There were no free marks in the papers, and every question required some effort to solve correctly! Not only could this widen the gap between the candidates, but it could also test the overall standard of the Great Tang citizens!
Once the overall difficulty of the papers was raised, Lin Hao was overjoyed. This was because he was hoping to use his mathematics results to widen the gap between him and the other students!
One had to know that Lin Hao was the most confident in his mathematics. Moreover, he had learned all his mathematics from Iron Egg. Iron Egg's mathematics results were among the best in the entire Academy. How could his "students" be bad? With the flood of questions provided by Iron Egg, Lin Hao's current level of mathematics was considered to be above average even among the second-year students in the Academy!
Now, among the other candidates, Lin Hao was basically invincible in mathematics!
…
As for the medical school, the afternoon examination was mainly about identifying medicinal herbs on the spot. Every half an hour, five types of medicinal herbs would be presented on the podium in each examination hall. Each medicinal herb would have a label on it. The candidates in the examination hall would line up to identify the five medicinal herbs on the podium in order. Every student had a very limited time on the podium. Once the time was up, they would be ordered to return to their seats and write down the identification results on the answer sheet according to the label of the medicinal herb.
Then, after half an hour, another five types of medicinal herbs would be placed on the podium. The students would then line up to identify the medicinal herbs on the podium. In this way, there would be a total of eight groups of medicinal herbs for the students to identify. During the identification and answering process, there would be an invigilator supervising from the side to prevent the candidates from interacting with each other and cheating!
This examination method was to test the students' ability to recognize medicinal herbs. On the other hand, it was also to test the students' memory. After all, the students had to look at five types of medicinal herbs each time. They had to remember the corresponding label of each medicinal herb. Otherwise, even if they recognized all the medicinal herbs, it would be useless if they wrote down the wrong label in the end!
"Number one is Pinellia Tuber. Number two is Camellia sinensis. Number three is Lobelia. Number four is White Flower Snake Tongue Grass. Number five is Red Peony!"
After the first round of identification, Chen Shuozhen returned to her seat. She closed her eyes and pondered for a moment before starting to write.
"Hehe! Fortunately, they are all common medicinal herbs. Master has brought us into the mountains to pick them before. As long as there are no rare medicinal herbs that I have never seen before, I will definitely have no problem in this afternoon's examination! "
After writing down the answer sheet, it was not time for the next round of identification yet. Chen Shuozhen let out a sigh of relief and rejoiced in her heart.
And things were developing in the direction she had anticipated.
"Number six is Grass Black Leaf. Number seven is Rush Grass. Number eight is Tangerine Peel. Number nine is Toad Crisp. Number ten is Gall Alum! That's great. This is another group of common medicinal herbs! "
After the second round of identification of medicinal herbs, Chen Shuozhen was completely relieved.
Most of the questions for the medical college examination were written by Sun Simiao. Old Sun's medical skills had reached the pinnacle of perfection. In his eyes, everything could be used as medicine. Because of this, Sun Simiao disliked prescribing expensive medicinal herbs when he was treating patients. Under the circumstances that it did not affect the efficacy of the prescription, he would always replace the expensive medicinal herbs with common ones. This was because in his opinion, this was the best test of a doctor's ability!
Therefore, in the second round of the medical college examination, there were no rare medicinal herbs that were rarely seen by ordinary people. On one hand, it was to test the examinees' foundation. On the other hand, Sun Simiao wanted to convey his medical philosophy to the students!
…
"Clang, clang, clang ~!"
Four hours of examination time was neither long nor short. When the sun was setting in the west, a melodious sound of drums and bells could be heard from above the clouds, indicating that the second year of Yanhuang College's entrance examination had officially come to an end.
"Oh! The examination is over! It's finally over! "
"This year's mathematics questions are too difficult!"
"That's right! It's much harder than last year! "
"Sigh! I didn't even have time to answer the last big question! "
"Brother Chu, you only have one question that you didn't answer? I have two questions that I didn't answer! It's over, it's over! I definitely won't be able to pass this time! "
"The examination is over, what's the point of talking about that? Let's go to Baihua Tower for a drink tonight and drink away our worries. How about that? "
"Let's go together! Let's get drunk! At most, we'll take the exam again next year! "
"That's right, that's right. At most, we'll take the exam again next year!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Look over there! "
"Wow ~ ~!"
The examinees who had just handed in their papers and walked out of Guanghua Tower could not help but discuss spiritedly. Regardless of whether they did well or not, since the examination was over, everyone wanted to relax. Many of them even said that they wanted to go to the brothel! In this era, going to the brothel was not a shameful thing. It was normal for scholars to be romantic. As long as you did not go overboard, no one would make a fuss about it. In the midst of the hubbub, the crowd suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked towards the west and saw a group of young girls dressed in red and green walking towards the entrance of the college.
"Hey! Aren't those the female medical examinees? "
It was unknown who said this, but the crowd became lively again.
"That's right, that's right! I saw them when I entered the examination hall this morning! "
"Tsk tsk! Yanhuang College is really special. They actually let women into the college! "
"Hehe! I should say that the Yanhuang College students are in for a treat! Green mountains and clear waters, accompanied by beautiful women, and accompanied by beautiful women. Where else can you find such a good learning environment in the entire Tang Dynasty? "
A fair and graceful woman is a gentleman's dream! As soon as this sentence was said, it immediately caused a commotion.
"Hmph! I've decided! If I can't get into Yanhuang College this time, I'll continue next year. I must get into Yanhuang College! "
"Me too! Even if I'm old, I'll get into Yanhuang College! "
"Hey! What are you guys thinking? I heard from my dad that the Medical College will have its own independent courtyard in the future. It will be separated from the School of Engineering, just like the Imperial Medical Department in Chang 'an City! Students from the School of Engineering are not allowed to enter on normal days! "
At this moment, someone could not help but pour cold water on them.
It was obvious that this person came from an official's family and knew some insider information. As the reputation of the college had spread over the past year, there were many children of high-ranking officials and nobles among the students who took the entrance examination. It was not surprising that someone knew some insider information!
As soon as this was said, it immediately caused a commotion.
"Ah? There's such a thing? Why haven't I heard of it before? "
"Sigh! If I had known, I would have learned medicine from someone earlier! "
"Why?"
"If I knew medicine, I would be able to take the entrance examination and enter the medical college!"
"…"
"Amazing! Really amazing! If I don't get in this time, I'll go home and study medicine! "
