Chapter 34 The Gentleman is Virtuous
On the day of the government exam, the sun was very good.
Because most of the people who have passed the county exam have already passed, there is no need to wait in line early in the morning for inspection, and the exam time is also set in the afternoon, so that candidates can sleep enough before going. Mu Qing was not polite, and slept until noon, and then walked to the government office with the examination basket.
There were already a lot of candidates gathered at the entrance of the mansion, and when they saw Mu Qinglai, many people came forward to say hello.
In these days, Mu Qing's glorious deeds in front of the government have spread, and the readers present are all proofs, and every reader has a sharp mouth, one is angry, and finally there is something to show his face to the reader, so naturally he wants to talk about it and wish the whole world knew about it. And the more miserable that Hou San is, the more light they have on their faces, and on the other hand, the more glorious Mu Qing is, the more proud they are.
Mu Qing won the first place in the county test again, which made those who didn't know vaguely admire it more and more.
Although he is a ten-year-old boy, the young man who dares to beat and scold clearly has a bit of the style of His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, who defeated the Liao people in the capital.
But fortunately, Mu Qing didn't know this statement, otherwise, he was a generation shorter than Li Qianyu for no reason, and he was really wronged.
Mu Qingdao was surprised that he was so popular, people couldn't help but respond to you with a smile, but the people in front of him were all older than him, what Brother Li, Brother Wang, Brother Zhao, Brother Qian, shouted all over again, in fact, none of them remembered.
The vermilion lacquer-colored door opened, and Mu Qing, who was the first in the county test, was naturally standing first, and the errand officers who inspected were still the same, and when they saw Mu Qing, they all laughed and took some caution: "Mu Xiaogongzi came early." ”
"Early." Mu Qing's face was elegant and indifferent, he didn't see the ferocity of that day at all, and his every move was full of grace.
But the errand officer still laughed with him, checked his bookcase in a proper manner, and then took the number plate and handed it to Mu Qing, and let him in.
Mu Qing was the first to step into the gate of the mansion this time, but he didn't run into the money master's book. Last time, it was because I had to record the information of each student that I bothered the money master to come out to help, and this time the money master book was busy with other things. Mu Qing sat down in the seat he did last time, because it was the afternoon exam, a grass shed was added to the seat, it was not high, and it was quite simple, but it could shelter some of the sun and the wind and cold, if it was dark, you could take the mat on the grass shed away, and let the sunlight in.
Mu Qing lowered his head and got in, didn't take off the straw mat in a hurry, put the bookcase beside him, and dozed off directly on the table. Winter afternoons always make people feel very sleepy, and it will take some time to wait for those students to come in one by one, and it is better to sleep enough now than to wait for a while to doze off.
There was a small stove for heating in the grass shed, which was so hot that it didn't take long for Mu Qing to fall asleep.
I don't know how long it took, Mu Qing was woken up by the sound of a gong. He rubbed his eyes, peeked out from the grass shed and looked, it was an errand who was striking the gong, followed by the money master's book, holding a thick pile of white paper in his hand, thinking that he was about to issue a curl.
Mu Qing took out the white handkerchief he was carrying in his arms, moistened it with the water used to wash the pen, and then covered it directly on his face.
The cold water is on the white cloth, but it is cold and cold on the face, which makes people feel a lot more comfortable. Mu Qing hastily rubbed his face, threw the handkerchief aside, then opened the bookcase, took out the pen and ink and put it away, and saw that the money master book had already stood in front of him.
Master Qian looked at Mu Qing and found that this young man was not in bad spirits, and he was still in the mood to smile at himself, so he was at ease. took a volume and put it on Mu Qing's table, but Master Qian didn't even look at him, and left with his eyebrows lowered.
Mu Qing didn't mind, he thought he was forced to dislike it.
I opened the paper and looked at it, but this time the paper was much more formal than the county exam, and it was marked with a red grid, just like the composition paper used in the previous life, square and square, each word must not be too small or too large, and the draft paper was issued, which is to let the candidates first type the draft and then fill it in according to the number of words.
The county exam is just a screening, and it is not difficult to choose who to choose and who not to choose, because the number of exams is uneven, and there is no need to judge too deliberately.
And starting from the government examination is the real road to scientific research, and you must not be sloppy.
The questions were not distributed together, and Mu Qing was not in a hurry, so he took some water out and poured it into the inkstone, and then grinded it slowly with the module. Take out the brush, wash it, and set it aside.
There was another gong sound, Mu Qing raised his head to look, and saw several officials on the high platform pulling a piece of white cloth, on which were written in red letters the title of the scripture and the poem.
The gentleman is virtuous and pro-him.
It's the same question!
"Listen to the questions!" A servant stepped forward with a loud voice, in order to take care of those candidates with bad eyes, "The topic of this time is 'The gentleman is virtuous and kisses his relatives', and the Jingyi poems are the same as this topic!" ”
There was not a single voice in the examination room, no matter whether they were sure in their hearts or not, no one questioned a word, after all, although this kind of merger is rare, there are also cases. What I instantly remembered in the examination room was the sound of the module rubbing against the inkstone and the sound of unfolding the paper, which was quiet and a little depressing.
Mu Qing took out the blank paper used to type the draft, wrote the title on it first, and stared at it carefully.
This sentence is from "University", and the full sentence is "The gentleman is virtuous and kisses his relatives, and the villain is happy and profitable".
This question is not difficult, and the university is also a must-memorize article for all students, so it seems that there is no meaning to be difficult. But because of this, it's hard to write brilliantly. There are many sentences in the university on the famous articles that Mu Qing once copied, which are similar to each other, and it is difficult to make a fuss about the interests, and if you want to be brilliant, you can only do it in writing and words.
What Mu Qing wants now is not just to take the exam, but to be at the top and appreciated by the prefect, and what he wants is a fireworks display in the future.
After thinking for a while, Mu Qing silently typed some drafts in his heart and then picked up the pen and began to write, even on the scratch paper, he didn't dare to slack off, and every word was written clearly and clearly. Half an hour after the whole article was written, Mu Qing looked at it carefully, deleted and added some more, and made sure that there were no opportunities in the words, so he began to copy it on the official lattice paper.
Pavilion style, Mu Qing has already written proficiently, and it is naturally much faster than last time.
After the transcription was completed, it was only half of the exam, and Mu Qing immediately began to write poems, which was not as troublesome as Jingyi, with the blessing of countless famous artists, Mu Qing did it in half an instant.
Without waiting for the exam to end, Mu Qing left the grass shed with the papers. Governor Dong, who was sitting at the top, was actually very sleepy, leaning on the handrail to support his head and drowsy, and when he saw someone coming, he straightened up and squinted his eyes, but saw that it was a half-grown child. When I walked in, I recognized it as Mu Qing.
"My lord, the student has finished answering."
Dong Zhifu was a little surprised, such an important exam, it is not for nothing that the papers are handed in in advance, but most of them feel that the scientific examination is hopeless, or they are amazed and crazy, although this Mu Qing was a little reckless last time, but he is clearly calm, it is strange to act like this.
"Bring it." Governor Dong took the scroll and opened it to see.
It is still a square and regular pavilion body, and the words are just filled with red grids, and it is much more comfortable to look at. Looking at the content again, Dong Zhifu raised his eyebrows slightly, the sentence he chose was not difficult, as long as he didn't say anything, he would basically not go off topic, but he didn't want to embarrass these readers. However, what is surprising about Mu Qing's article is not the intention, but the almost terrifying confrontation and rhyme.
Every sentence is neat, every word is right, Dong Zhifu looked at it and read it in a low voice, only to find that even the rhyme is neat and catchy, this scripture is actually written like a poem!
Putting down the scroll, Governor Dong is now tired at all. Looking at Mu Qing, he sighed after all: "Good literary style." ”
The sound was not loud, Mu Qing only vaguely heard a sound but didn't hear it clearly, but the Qian master who was sitting behind Dong Zhifu heard it. Master Qian shook his eyes slightly, looked at Dong Zhifu, and then looked at Mu Qing who was standing safely, and lowered his eyes again.
No one can leave the examination room until the exam is over, this is the rule, and it is not appropriate to let Mu Qing return to the grass hut, so Dong Zhifu pointed to the side and said, "Come on, move a chair." ”
This sentence was not loud, but the candidates in the first few rows heard it. They raised their eyes and looked at Mu Qing, this person was so good-looking, but they only glanced at it and continued to answer the questionnaire, unmoved.
Mu Qing was not polite, and sat down with a chair. The chair was taller, he was short, and when he sat down, he hung in the air with his feet on the ground. Mu Qing didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he shook his legs, and felt hungry, so he took out the flatbread made by Annu from the bookbox to eat, eating very quietly and leisurely, the little boy was a little more childlike at the moment.
Governor Dong looked at him and thought it was interesting, so he didn't care about him, and looked down.
The second page of the volume is the poems, with the majestic momentum in the scriptures, the prefect of Dong has a little more expectations for Mu Qing's poems.
Unfolded and took a closer look, but the next moment Governor Dong couldn't laugh or cry.
Gao Column Thousand Peaks Torch Forest, Duanmen Fang Xi Cui Hua Lin. The eunuch tour is not a three-yuan night, and the joy is also with the hearts of all people. The green light of the Tianshan Mountains stays on this night, and the world is harmonious with the spring yin. You must know that the celebration is full of blessings, and more than 50 years of love is deep.
It's a good thing to praise the king, but it's too explicit. No, not only explicitly, this ...... This is clearly a clear sycophant!
Governor Dong glanced at Mu Qing again, and it happened that Mu Qing also looked over.
The delicate little boy smiled at him happily, indescribably simple and handsome.
