Chapter 330 Re-entering the arena, the entire arena covered in tarpaulin
"System, check the weather forecast for the next three days!"
"Yes, host. This will cost five points!"
Jiang Xiaoqi spent another five points to check the weather forecast for the second round of the provincial examination. It was great; the weather would be sunny this time. However, he still brought an oilcloth just in case.
The Jiang brothers all took a hot bath and used the floral water that Jiang Xiaoqi had given them.
The house was instantly filled with the fragrance of plum blossoms, jasmine, and orchids.
After a nutritious dinner, the group didn't say much and went to bed feeling refreshed.
Get plenty of rest and energy for the second round of the provincial examination.
As dawn broke in the east, the Jiang family members had finished packing up and replenished the food and charcoal they had used up in the first battle.
After the first test, everyone had a better grasp of their food intake during the exam period, so they brought food according to their actual consumption.
The amount of charcoal was the same as when we entered the venue for the first time, and the weather wasn't too cold, so there was enough to boil water.
The second exam tested knowledge of imperial edicts, memorials, and judgments, and it included a considerable number of questions.
For the first time, Jiang Xiaoqi lit the candles distributed in the examination room, hoping to make the most of the time so as not to run out of time and affect her performance.
I didn't notice it when I was engrossed in the exam paper. After finishing a section of the questions, I looked up and stretched my muscles, and that's when I saw that the exam booths of the other candidates across from me were covered with tarpaulins.
Jiang Xiaoqi looked up at the sky and checked the weather forecast for the next two days with the system again.
The answer was still the same: a clear, cloudless sky.
Well, I guess everyone was caught off guard by the sudden downpour last time, so they've all learned their lesson and know to take precautions.
Jiang Xiaoqi could only see the examination booths of a few people opposite him. What he didn't know was that the entire examination room was now almost entirely covered with tarpaulins.
Only a few exam tents were left unfinished, which shows how much of a shadow that rain cast on the minds of the candidates was.
Jiang Xiaoqi shook her head, no longer paying attention to the matter, and continued to answer questions.
After each exam, the completed test papers were still put into bamboo tubes, stuffed into oilcloth bags, and hung on the wall in the usual manner.
They took great care to ensure that no snakes, insects, rodents, or other pests would gnaw or swallow the exam papers.
It is estimated that future members of the Jiang family who take exams at all levels will continue to use this magical artifact.
After blowing out the candles and letting the smell of the candle dissipate, Jiang Xiaoqi lay down on the narrow bed, her long legs bent in a rather aggrieved position.
Thinking that her own elder brother Jiang Yan, who was also tall, was like that, she instantly felt better.
Before long, we entered the study space.
Haha, the body can sleep, but the mind can't.
After answering questions all day, you need to give your brain a break at night, right?
As the system has been allocated more and more resources, it has already undergone several upgrades.
Jiang Xiaoqi's way of relaxing changed from reading, calligraphy, painting, archery, playing the piano, playing the flute, practicing shooting and wielding sticks... to watching cartoons.
Jiang Xiaoqi found an animated film adapted from a traditional Chinese myth and watched it while eating popcorn in the virtual cinema.
Sigh, if only I had three heads and six arms, I could finish three days' worth of exam questions in a single day.
Unfortunately, he only had one head and two arms.
Huh? I think I said something offensive~
I finished watching the animated series, and only a little over an hour has passed. I wanted to find a palace drama to watch, but it turns out I have to spend points to watch it.
This system is a piece of junk! I already spent points to buy a year's membership, and now they've released an SVIP version! Is this how a human would operate?!
Money-grubbing! Money-grubbing to death!
Not wanting to indulge the system, this capitalist, Jiang Xiaoqi angrily closed the palace drama interface and decided to review the newly learned piece of music instead.
Haha, it's kind of funny when you think about it. Everyone else was burning the midnight oil in the exam hall, and he was here enthusiastically playing the flute.
There's no way around it; people just have that kind of enthusiasm for new things. Back when I was painting landscapes, lakes, and seas, practicing the backstab and hidden weapons, I was also tirelessly working on them night after night.
The alarm clock set by the system rang, and Jiang Xiaoqi's thoughts left the space and returned to the hard bed.
He stretched, washed his face with cold water, rinsed his mouth, and then methodically started a fire to make the paste.
Today, only the judgment table question remains. I glanced at the whole case and found it to be of moderate difficulty.
topic:
Zhang San and Li Si are neighbors separated by a wall. Zhang San has a large tree whose branches extend into Li Si's yard. Li Si has repeatedly asked Zhang San to trim the branches, but Zhang San has ignored him.
One day, a strong wind broke tree branches and damaged Li Si's house. Li Si demanded compensation from Zhang San for the damage, but Zhang San refused, claiming it was a natural disaster and not his fault.
Q: Should Zhang San compensate his neighbor Li Si for his losses?
What appears to be a minor civil dispute case hinges on the determination of whether it was a natural disaster or a man-made one.
After a moment's thought, Jiang Xiaoqi picked up his pen and wrote his answer on a draft paper.
答:
According to the "Great Zhou Law", Zhang San should compensate his neighbor Li Si for his losses.
The reasons are as follows:
The principle of fault liability: As the owner of the tree, Zhang San has a responsibility to ensure that his property does not cause harm to the personal safety or property of others. Zhang San knew that the tree branches extended into Li Si's yard, and Li Si repeatedly requested that they be trimmed, yet Zhang San failed to take any measures, thus constituting clear fault.
Causal relationship: Zhang San's wrongdoing (failure to prune tree branches) directly caused damage to Li Si's house, and there is a direct causal relationship between the two.
Force majeure: Although strong winds are considered a force majeure event, Zhang San was at fault first and failed to take reasonable measures to prevent the damage from occurring. Therefore, he cannot be exempted from liability on the grounds of natural disaster.
According to the principle of fairness, Zhang San, as the owner of the tree, should bear the liability for damage caused by his negligence.
In conclusion, Zhang San should compensate his neighbor Li Si for his losses.
Of course, everything on the draft paper was written in plain language, but to copy it onto the exam paper, the plain language had to be converted into more literary classical Chinese.
With a complete thought process and a fairly accurate answer, the translation wasn't difficult.
It took less than half an hour to convert and copy the answer.
After it has completely dried in the shade, it is rolled up and put into a bamboo tube as is customary, then covered with an oilcloth bag and hung on the wall.
Great, the second exam ended on the evening of the second day, but I still have to stay cooped up for another night and wait until noon tomorrow to leave the exam room.
Jiang Lin, Jiang Yan, and Jiang Hao lit the candles, but they didn't do it quickly.
Old Wang finished writing and hung the bamboo tube on the wall. He stretched and prepared to start a fire to boil water.
Although he found the set of movements quite troublesome, he still obediently followed instructions.
The last heavy rain came very suddenly, and it was only thanks to listening to Brother Jiang's advice that the exam papers were spared from being destroyed.
In the first round, quite a few unlucky guys were crying and wailing!
But no matter how much you cry, it's no use; the damaged exam paper is gone forever.
Old Wang found the oilcloth bag on the wall more and more pleasing to the eye.
