Chapter 398 - Entrance Examination (Medium)

The time for a candle to burn out is not long. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

But sometimes, it is often just such a short period of time that can save people from distress.

The time in the examination room is so precious, unless it is forced to do so, Lu Shuo is never willing to use this candle.

Maybe that's the key to turning defeat into victory!

After handing in the test papers, Lu Shuo was completely relaxed.

At this time, he felt hungry in his stomach, so he took out the examination basket, boiled out the things that Yuan had prepared for himself, and had a good meal.

After eating and washing the pots and chopsticks, Lu Shuo moved to the corner of the wall and endured the awkwardness of the reincarnation of grains.

He opened the small window slightly, and when the smell had dissipated, he closed the window, checked the fire again, and saw that there was nothing unusual in the room, and finally lay down on the bed, thinking about nothing, recuperating, and resting well.

The night passed quickly.

The second day is the first and second exam, which is based on arithmetic and poetry.

The arithmetic of this time is very similar to the practical problems of later generations, and it is a calculation of practical problems.

Compared to before, it is more than a little bit more difficult.

However, for Lu Shuo, this kind of difficulty is not a problem at all, not only is he not worried, but he is very happy.

You know, arithmetic is his forte, and the more difficult it is to learn math this time, the more beneficial it will be for him.

But even so, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and thought carefully before and after, not giving himself the slightest chance to make mistakes.

After finishing the arithmetic, there is still plenty of time, but the next thing is poetry, Lu Shuo can only be regarded as an upper-middle level in this regard, so he didn't leave any rest time, so he directly reviewed the topic.

As the name suggests, there are two poems: one poem and one fu.

Seeing the first question, Lu Shuo was directly confused.

The title is only two simple words, "Gu Hong".

Gu Hong?

Gu Hong......

Gu, do seeing, seeing, Hong, in ancient times, there was only one meaning, that is, Hongniao.

Look at the Hung Bird......

Is it possible to make poems related to "Hong"?

Lu Shuo thought about it for a while, but felt that it was more than that.

In ancient times, there were so many people who chanted the birds, and the test questions were often associated with current affairs, if they were just chanting the birds, it was obviously too thin......

So what could it be?

Lu Shuo struggled for a while, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of a fragment.

“…… The king stood on the marsh, and Gu Hongyan was an elk, and said, 'The sage is also happy about this?' '”

This is an excerpt from Mencius.

It is said that Mencius and King Hui of Liang discussed "sage", emphasizing that the pleasure of sages does not lie in their own pleasure, but in the joy of the people.

Thinking of this, Lu Shuo suddenly realized.

With such a simple sentence, he just came to a dead end, and his thinking was too tortuous.

Now that he understood the source, Lu Shuo didn't delay any longer, and after thinking about it, he wrote a poem without pause.

The poem says:

Lixian was not in his chest, and turned his head to look at Hong.

How can Ichimoku look back? Originally, Mencius said that it was difficult to get through.

After finishing the poem, Lu Shuo looked at it carefully again and felt satisfied, so he continued to look at the following questions.

Titled: Mrs. Xi does not speak. It rhymes with "this person does not speak, and his ambition is safe".

When Lu Shuo saw this question, he swallowed his saliva unconsciously.

Mrs. Xi is one of the famous beauties in the Spring and Autumn Period, the daughter of Chen Zhuanggong, and later married Xi Hou as his wife, but was molested by her brother-in-law Cai Hou on the way back to Ning, Xi Hou was unwilling, and Chu jointly attacked Cai State, who knew that King Wen of Chu rebelled against an army after the victory, destroyed Xi State, and occupied Mrs. Xi.

Mrs. Xi didn't say anything, what she said was that after Mrs. Xi entered the court of Chu State, she didn't say a word and didn't say anything to King Wen of Chu.

The meaning is very easy to understand, and Mrs. Xi's reluctance to serve the second husband is extended to the spirit of loyalty.

It's just that the eight rhymes in the back made Lu Shuo difficult.

How to use these eight characters as rhymes and clarify the spirit of Mrs. Xi is a little difficult......

Lu Shuo hesitated for a while, until the daylight outside was getting dim, and then he hesitated to write.

"There is one person who is very beautiful, and the second husband is deeply ashamed. Don't be aggressive and complain, often silently and hurt...... Everywhere is noisy but not chaotic, and it is very disciplined to be self-controlled...... Whoever makes the chatter, stationed in the five horses and makes the king foolish; With hee-hee, get a pheasant and forget the ugliness of the doctor...... Never forget the thought of a care, it is difficult to win the will of three silences. There is a festival in daily life, but I hear the voice of Peiyu......"

It wasn't until the sun set that Lu Shuo finished writing.

He looked at the fu on the paper and looked very hesitant.

He was very uncertain......

Could it be that this exam will be planted on a question?

Lu Shuo shook his head, didn't think about it, and firmly took out the candle and lit it directly.

Not now, but when?

By candlelight, he took a closer look at the fu he had made.

The meaning of the text is roughly correct, and it expresses everything he wants to say.

As for the use of rhyme, Lu Shuo checked it, and after careful inspection, he found three mistakes, and hurriedly replaced other words, and he was also afraid in his heart......

Thanks to the candle I used.

When a candle is halfway burned, the fu is finally ready.

Lu Shuo hurriedly copied this assignment carefully, and the second attempt was not complete until this time.

And at this time, the candle that was taken out finally burned out.

Seeing that there was no light in the room, the scribe came over and took the test papers.

Lu Shuo handed in the test paper and let out a long sigh.

This candle is used very correctly, although this article is not very satisfied, but there is no mistake in the end, and there is still an upper middle level.

For him, it can be regarded as an extraordinary performance......

This day was quite thrilling, although the ending was happy in the end, but Lu Shuo didn't have the energy to do anything else, so he ate hastily and lay down to sleep.

On the third day, the last day of the first session, the test was a question.

Questioning is Lu Shuo's forte.

In Taoshan Academy over the years, when Lu Shuo studied with Yuan Zhongdao, he didn't know how many times he had dealt with it, and he was already familiar with the routines.

In addition, he also understands the current situation, and has the experience of his previous life, so the score of this strategy is definitely at his fingertips.

However, in the spirit of being cautious in everything, as before, even on the last day, Lu Shuo still didn't dare to relax a little, and concentrated on answering one by one.

The questions were very difficult, but Lu Shuo broke them all one by one, and the answers were very smooth, only before the third question, Lu Shuo stopped writing.

The reason why I stopped writing is not that I can't answer.

Rather, I thought it was a little funny.

I saw that the test paper was impressively written:

"The strength of the South and? Suppress the strength of the north? ”

This sentence is from "The Book of Rites: The Mean", which is a dialogue between Confucius and Zilu when they discussed the strength and weakness of the north and the south.

Lu Shuo remembered this passage very well, and it was not difficult to understand.

In fact, in modern times, people have discussed more than once the question of which is better or worse in the north and south, and there are always thousands of 800 kinds of food and living habits, regardless of whether they are in the north or south.

Lu Shuo didn't expect that when he came to this ancient time, he would encounter this kind of north-south dispute, and he also appeared directly in the exam questions.

This person who made the question is also interesting.
