The county lord saw that his eyes lit up, and he glanced left and right, most of the candidates were still thinking hard about the questions, some of the candidates were at a loss, some of the candidates were full of melancholy, and it was rare for two candidates to study ink while thinking about it.

The county lord shook his head, lost his interest in patrolling, and turned his gaze back to the pragmatic draft, looking at the second and third paragraphs he had already written:

"The husband and the child know the number, and either because of learning or because of sleepiness, they must all be able to know this way. Therefore, it also knows the same.

And the Tao does not precede enlightenment, the use of wisdom and wisdom, although it is said to be God's grant, is it not a human being? Only those who are blessed with heaven will think through everything, and if they are in harmony with the sky, they will have something to find through, and they will not be able to understand it. In fact, there is a sequence, and there is no surplus or deficit. ”

The county lord Lan Wen was so happy that he forgot that he was in the examination room for a while, and stood motionless behind Gao Shishi, just waiting for his next step.

At this time, Gao Pragmatic continued to write:

"The way of the world does not depend on those who know? Although, the knowledge is not consistent. ”

The county lord connected these three paragraphs and thought about it, nodded secretly in his heart, and smiled: This son knows my intentions, and it is true that it can be made.

At this time, Gao Pragmatic wrote to start with two ratios, that is, Tibi. The comparison is right, the beginning, middle, back, and bundle are within the two ratios, and the length of the sentence, the complexity and simplicity of the words, and the tone of the husband's voice, all must be relatively written, which is the correct case of the eight strands.

Here is not only the thinking ability and reasoning level of the candidates, but also the writing skills of the school. According to the idea of the county lord, if Gao Pragmatic is still well written, it doesn't matter if you don't read the following articles - this article must be taken.

Gao Pragmatic also thought about it a little at this time, obviously considering the words, but it didn't take long for him to start writing again and write down two paragraphs:

Given to the yin and yang, the emperor seems to be confined to it, so the recklessness is not all philosophers, and the exhaustive examination is based on research, and the real hidden guide is to follow the gradual process.

The qi is divided into turbidity, and if there is a difference in the creation, the negative quality is fully integrated, and the darkness is dispelled to be bright, and the traces of several difficult and difficult attainments are suspended.

If it weren't for reminding himself in his heart that he was invigilating, the county lord would just stroke his palm and praise it, he let out a long breath, Shi Shiran walked back to the high platform, and he was still muttering these two paragraphs in his mouth, as if he had eaten a meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and he had to chew it carefully.

When he sat down on the high platform, his eyes changed when he looked at Gao Shipra, just like a good man sees a pearl and jade, and a good gluttonous person sniffs the delicacies.

"I was twenty-three years old, and I was nearly half a hundred years old, and I thought it was just bad luck. Today's view of the high service reads Xiongwen, Fang knows that although the person who is born to know it has been on it, but he is born to know it, but it is not vain and exaggerated, followed by learning, followed by thinking, concentrating on the text, and becoming a great tool. ”

When the county respected Gao Shishi looked at him again, he saw that his face was as usual, waving as before, and there was even a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but applaud again in his heart.

……

Gao pragmatic finished writing the draft, carefully checked it, changed a few more words, and read it twice, and then he copied it neatly - that is, to write the exam paper.

Even so, when he handed in the paper, it was only a moment, and it was about half past nine in the morning in the later life, and the speed was so fast that the rest of the candidates were dumbfounded—the most of them were hard-working, and at this time they could only choose one of the several problems they had drawn up and write it on the scratch paper, and the text had not yet written a sentence at all. Not to mention those who are of average level, they are still struggling with how to solve the problem.

The test paper of the county examination has been sealed, and the place where the name is written on the paper is pasted with a floating lot, which should be removed when the paper is handed in, and the candidate himself should carry it back to prevent the examiner from favoritism.

However, the county examination is different from the talent ceremony, and the first few people who submit the papers, the county magistrate will generally read the papers directly at that time, and will be evaluated as they go. If the essay is preferred, especially for young candidates with good essays, he may call over to ask a few words, and then make a pair to call the candidate right. If the article is good, the pair is also good, and the county order will often be won on the spot.

The high and pragmatic volume was handed over, and the county lord nodded again and again, and even shook his head, and followed the silent recitation in his mouth - as mentioned earlier, the ancients liked to read out loud when reading, and this county lord seemed to be the same.

Of course, because the other candidates are still taking exams, it is impossible for the county to read it out loud, but looking at his appearance, he must be extremely fond of Gao Shi's article.

Sure enough, after reading it, he instructed the officials to beckon Gao Pragmatic to come forward, and at the same time directly put pen to paper.

After Gao Pragmatic stepped forward, the county lord just finished writing his comment, raised his head and smiled, handed the volume to Gao Pragmatic, and said: "Gongzi Xiongwen, this county has already read it, vainly ignore the micro-comments, dare not cherish himself, please take a look." ”

Gao Pragmatic took the exam paper and looked at it, only to see that the comments of the county on the top were: thoughts are like peaks and paths, cleavage is like water and clean sand, pleasant and refreshing, and the Tao is suitable, and it is honestly called the top grade.

Gao Shi hurriedly bowed slightly, and said: "The county is too pretended, how dare the kid deserve it." ”

Seeing that he was humble and had no youthful ambitions, the county was even more happy, and said with a spring breeze: "Deserve, deserve, if this article is not worthy of this comment, there is no one in Henan this spring." ”

Yo, you're older than I am.

Gao pragmatic thanked him again, and the county respected him and said: "It is said that Gao Gongzi has this eloquent text, and he said that the county test, and the government test and the road test are also a piece of cake...... However, the rules are always the rules, and the county has to test your pair. ”

Gao Pragmatic was not sad or happy, nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand, made a gesture of "please", and said, "Please say." ”

Generally speaking, at this time, the pair will not be too complicated, but the county lord saw the hunting heart, read a good article, and felt itchy for a while, so he stood up and looked into the distance, thought about it carefully, and said: "Please listen well: Baili Pingchuan, spread green felt thousands of hectares, you can harvest fragrant wheat in spring, yellow sorghum in summer, jade millet in autumn, and new wine for two seasons of crops." ”

Well, the last sentence of this pair is in line with Xinzheng's situation.

But to be honest, people who can write eight-strand essays are really not too difficult for pairs. Gao Pragmatic thought for a while, and then said: "The thousand-year-old city, around the clear water, good to appreciate the reed flowers in Zhuli, the green willows on the embankment, the hibiscus by the bridge, and several scenery into the old ballads." ”

When the county heard this, he laughed and said: "That's right, Xinzheng is the old land of Xuanyuan, which is naturally a thousand-year-old city, and the Shuangyi River forks left and right, surrounding Xinzheng County, this word is used appropriately!" ”

Then he sat back on the high platform with a smile, glanced at several officials beside him, and waved his hand: "Wait and record the pair of Fang Cai, and remember: Confucian Tong Gao pragmatic this volume...... Neutral. ”
