Chapter 516: Finally Finished the Exam......
To be honest, I haven't paid much attention to this exam, first, this is just a pre-palace exam, in order to screen out those scholars who took advantage of the imperial examination to fish in the troubled waters of the capital, and secondly, it is just to test the strength of the scholars before the exam, so I can't worry too much about anything.
As soon as Bai Ruyi left me, he began to concentrate on studying ink, the so-called emptying his brain before the exam is equivalent to giving the brain a formatted program, only in this way can things be loaded more.
When I was concentrating on the ink, there was a burst of whispering in the exam room next door, as if I was silently reciting something, and I didn't bother to pay attention to it, concentrating on my own business.
After a while, the familiar and thick voice sounded again: "Attention candidates, the third day of the exam starts ...... now!" As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a man in official uniform flash in front of my small wooden table, and I couldn't even see him clearly, just like the previous two days, it really made me wonder if they had all practiced the "Taibao Shenxing Technique" taught by my master.
The man swept over but left behind a small white paper, which was the same size as the previous two days, but this white paper was densely written with some small characters in regular script.
I stretched out my hand and picked up the blank paper, only to see that the white paper was written a story, I sighed, this whole is an open-ended composition!
I stared at the small regular script characters, line by line, and although I only knew a little about the ancient texts, I knew the story told on this piece of paper.
The story written on this paper is the story of 'Wu Zetian ordered a hundred flowers to bloom in winter, and peonies were degraded if they did not bloom'. It is said that when Wu Zetian was in power, one day on a whim wanted to see a hundred flowers bloom in his back garden, but after going to the back garden, he realized that it was winter and could not bloom a hundred flowers, but Wu Zetian was an extremely conceited woman, so he stood in the back garden and loudly ordered the god of flowers to say that he would come again tomorrow to see a hundred flowers blooming, and if he didn't bloom, he would cut off all the flowers in the world. The flowers in the back garden are really all in full bloom. Wu Zetian was overjoyed and couldn't help but play around, but when she went to the peony, she found that all the flowers were blooming. Only the peony shows no signs of blooming. So Wu Zetian was furious. He demoted the peony out of the capital and ordered that he would never enter the capital again!
Of course, this is just a story, and as for the real situation at that time, I am afraid that no one knows the truth for a long time. But what makes me strange is that the name of this dynasty is called Xiehe, is there a dynasty after Wu Zetian called Xiehe?
I stared carefully at the white paper in my hand, and suddenly understood in my heart that Bai Ruyi would take me to the back garden in the tribute courtyard early this morning, and he dared to hint at my exam questions today, alas, I really didn't expect that he would tell me today's exam questions!
I shook my head secretly, picked up the brush and began to write.
When I took the college entrance examination, the essay topic I encountered was similar to this, and it was also an open-ended essay question, first give you a short story, and then write a few requirements later, such as the subject matter is not limited, the topic is self-designed, and the number of words is 800 and so on, but there is no requirement for this question encountered today, and the exam questions of the previous two days are the same, only such a small story, and nothing else.
According to the idea of answering the question two days ago, I didn't even think about raising my pen and started writing, nothing more than first quoting ancient texts to comment on the truth contained in this story, and then asking some questions about current affairs, and then proposing some solutions to these problems, and commenting on the examples in this story.
In the blink of an eye, I wrote a large amount of text on the white paper, although my brush writing is really ugly, but fortunately I inherited Bi Ran's ability, an article is written down freely, but there is also a bit of the style of famous people.
It was just before noon that I had written three and a half blank sheets of paper.
At noon, someone brought lunch as usual, but probably because I ate more in the morning, and my appetite was not very good at this time, so I simply ate some rice and began to write.
As the sun was about to set in the afternoon, I finally finished my essay, and I really felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment when I looked at the blank paper full of words in front of me.
The so-called literati are contemptuous, which means that no matter which reader reads, he will unconsciously think that the articles he writes are the best in the world, and he hates not to give his name a 'first in the world' title, although I used to be extremely disdainful of this idea, but now I look at the articles I have written and really have a feeling of the best in the world.
I was about to read it all over again when the thick voice rang out as promised, and at the same time as the voice sounded, a figure walked in front of my exam room and reached out and took my essay away.
"Candidates, now that the three-day exam is over, please leave the Tribute Academy, the results of the exam will be posted on the publicity wall in front of the Tribute Academy in ten days, please pay attention to it."
As soon as the words fell, the sound of getting up sounded around me, and then there were scholars walking out of the examination room one after another, the sound of small footsteps mixed with whispering discussions, but a little noisy, I got up and followed the crowd towards the gate when the Gongyuan came.
Slowly walked out of the Tribute Courtyard with the flow of people, as soon as I walked out of the Tribute Courtyard, I saw Situ Hong who was looking around and Situ Hong with a dignified face, followed by Xiaodouzi and Yue'er, two little girls, and Xiaobai, who was dressed in snow-white, was squatting on Xiaodouzi's shoulder and looking around, making a grimace at passers-by from time to time.
"Wife, senior Mo ......!" I raised my arm and waved at them, striding over.
In this world, only I can shout the word 'wife', and only Situ Hong can understand the meaning of these two words, when I shouted 'wife' loudly, Situ Hong immediately turned his head to look at me, and then ran over regardless of it.
As soon as the two of us met, I reached out and hugged her in my arms, Situ Hong didn't say much, just buried herself in my arms, and whispered: "Husband......!" ”
"Wife, thank you for your hard work!" I raised my hand and stroked Situ Hong's hair and whispered back.
"Bi Gongzi ......." "Brother Bi......." While speaking, Mo Lu and Xiaodouzi, and Yue'er also walked in front of me, and Situ Hong also felt a little shy, and broke free from my embrace together.
As soon as the two little girls approached, Xiaobai, who was originally squatting on the shoulders of Xiaodouzi, jumped on my shoulders with a slight jump, and then squeaked and screamed, looking at its appearance It also seemed to be showing favor to me, I raised my hand and touched its little head.
I looked at Mo Lu, then at Xiaodouzi and Yue'er, and said with a smile: "You have worked hard for the past three days." ”
"What did Bi Gongzi say?" Mo Lu frowned and looked at me, and then asked, "Master Bi, how are these three days' exams good?" ”
As soon as he asked this question, the eyes of the three people immediately attracted to me, and I looked around for a while before I spoke: "The results of the exam will be announced in ten days, and I don't know how Lu Dao's answer is, so let's look at the results when the time comes!" ”
"Husband, I believe in you." Situ Hong raised her head and looked at me stubbornly and said.
"I also believe in Brother Bi'......."
"Me too......."
As soon as Xiaodouzi and Yue'er on the side heard Situ Hong say this, they immediately hurriedly responded, and the two little girls were full of excitement, as if they hadn't seen me for a while.
"It's getting late, let's go back quickly." I looked up at the sky and said to everyone.
A few people nodded, turned around and walked in the direction of Bifu.
