On the eighth day of the eighth month of August, the day and night are almost the same length, the Gongyuan Street in Chongwenmen, the flow of people is like bees and ants, the autumn wind is bleak, Jia Cong, who is standing in the Gongsheng team of Guozijian, beats the sheep's horn lamp, wears a cotton jacket that is dismantled and sewn, looks up at the dragon gate, and his eyes are gradually firm.

After the establishment of the Grand View Garden, the prosperity of Jiafu was just a flash in the pan, less than two years, Jia Zheng will serve as a provincial scholar and come back, his temperament has changed greatly, Yuanchun has not left the palace again, Zhen's house has been copied, Jiafu has been defeated, and the time is very urgent. It is a top priority to raise people and enter the army in the examination, as for whether to enter the Hanlin or choose a foreign appointment, he is willing, at least to avoid being involved by the family, copying the family is not equal to exterminating the clan, once he opens a government and builds a government, he always has a place to maneuver.

"Wang Pengju is the top student in high school, and he failed the Jiaxu Hui test, and he has studied hard in Wanping in the past few years." Kuang Liuhe pondered: "Have you seen who the deputy examiner is this year?" ”

"Who else? Di Bao early Ming issued a province, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, Lord Liu. Zhang Maocai was envious and jealous: "I heard that this Liu Yushi has been promoted very quickly in recent years, three years ago he was still a direct student of politics, and I was promoted by him in Zhuozhou...... Zili was also promoted by him, how can he not win? ”

"Don't be careless, there is a prisoner in the Guozijian who is particularly powerful, and he is not a student who pays tribute, and he can't pass the government exam, Nasu entered the prison and entered the Guozijian, it is said that Guozixue, calligraphy, law, arithmetic, excellent in science, Jia Zili, what is that person's name?" Kuang Liuhe asked the team on the other side, they were sent by the Wanping County Ya, and Jia Cong was sent by Guozijian.

"Dai Fengxiang, is the old minister Dai Gonggong's fellow countryman, a native of Suning County, Hejian Prefecture, ......" Jia Cong frowned, some people can't pass the county government no matter how they take the exam, but they donate the prisoners, but they can rush into the Jinluan Hall in one go, this Dai Fengxiang is a strong opponent, he has strength in his own right, and there is Dai Quan of the master of ceremonies inside.

Under the onlooker supervision of Dong Anguo and others, and the search and inspection of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, Jia Cong and other sentient beings carried examination baskets and lanterns, led by the eighteenth room official, and entered the "Open Astronomical Movement" dragon gate and inner dragon gate, and entered the number to the second number house.

The guards closed the door, the autumn wind blew the Wenchanghuai outside the window, put a brazier, candlestick, pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Jia Cong took out the wheat cake from the examination basket and chewed it, and from time to time he boiled the cool water, this year's autumn was dry and cold, the prison-like house gave people a sense of security, but there was a kind of boredom and irritability of sitting, especially this kind of dry sitting was still watched, looking out of the window, Mingyuan Building, watchtower, and aisle There are officers and soldiers patrolling back and forth.

When a few errand officers walked back and forth with bulletin boards in their hands, the three questions and four books representing the head field came out.

The first question: "I don't say it, there are friends", interception question.

Question 2: "Not by the Rules", small question.

The third question: "Zi said: The Tao is governed by government, and the people are exempt and shameless; The way is to govern, to be courteous, shameful and qualified. Zi said: I have five out of ten and am determined to learn, thirty and stand, forty and not confused, fifty and know the destiny of heaven, sixty and obedient, seventy from the heart do not exceed the rules", even the chapter title.

"The first question is rotten, it's difficult to write a masterpiece, the second question Shen Hao happened to be out for me, and the third question is a big chapter...... "Jia Cong grinds ink and spreads the volume, like thousands of Qiuqiu candidates, frowning and thinking, searching the intestines and scraping the belly, fortunately, the time for each township test is enough, it's a big deal to not eat, drink or sleep for three days and three nights, anyone can hold back three eight-strand essays, but the township test is the beginning of the big three yuan, the township test solves the yuan, and Jia Cong also has the heart to win.

Different from others, Jia Cong's thinking and understanding far surpass his peers, when the officers and soldiers came in and closed the door, Jia Cong had already scrapped three pieces of manuscript paper, figuring out the outline of ideas, from "Historical Records", "Book of Han", "Book of the Later Han" to "Zhu Xi's Collected Notes", countless dense words skipped through his mind, and the officers and soldiers did not bother him, turned around, checked the bedding mat again, closed the door and went out, and guarded outside.

With one less person, Jia Cong doesn't feel awkward, his mood is like a lonely wilderness, he lifts the lake pen and dips it in ink, and the pen is like a god:

"No, there are friends."

"If you say that you learn deeply, you can decide what your friends will be."

"The husband said that he was born in the habit of the time, and he was born in the study. To learn and people, and friends are also, is it necessary? ”

"And if the lady can speak all the hearts and study all the thoughts, then why should the friends think about it? Although it is full of relish, it is enough to collect the work of closing the household, and there is no disciple, and it is ridiculed to collect the righteousness of going out. Beyun: It's my wish; So it goes without saying: with the son of the hairpin. ”

“…… Si Qiqing is not disgusting, but pleasant. Diligently on the road of learning, and excellent travel. There is an invisible judgment of fishing, although tin is in Punbei, it is not as pleasant as this heartfelt feeling. ”

Si Qiyi didn't feel that it was very bitter, but felt that it was very willing. Diligent in the place of practice, and pleasant. There are often many endless lows, although they feast and drink with friends, but they are not as profound as this. ”

“…… To say it with friends...... In simple terms......"

Organized and clear, the context is clear, and he thought about it a little in the second question and changed what he had done in the past:

"Not by the rules."

“…… Generally speaking, the way of heaven is the rule, and the tunnel is the moment, although the two instruments are formed by deviating from the rules. In a small way, the robe must comply with the rules, and the girdle must be as orderly, although a piece of clothing cannot be carried out without the rules and engage in ......"

"What are the rules and not?"

"If you don't follow the rules, how can you be square?"

The third question is more difficult to do, this is the real selection and elimination, the seeds are put into the sieve, and the inferior ones are sifted down.

Although they have been trained before the exam, the ancient candidates are the same as today, they will forget, deviate from the topic, and can see through the essence of the question at a glance, not only to study hard, but also to have a super high understanding. Secondly, it involves historical materials and governing the country, and the four books and five classics can make people study for a lifetime, and they must be proficient in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, which is really difficult for many people.

When Jia Cong began to write the third article, it was already the tenth year of the first month, and the length was long:

"The world is chaotic due to political studies, so the Legalists and soldiers flow, drive away the anger of the first generation, and endure the harsh domain. And the Gang, the four-dimensional beetle, and the nine-stream turbidity. As a result, the style of three generations of virtue and courtesy has been completely reduced. ”

"Politics and science are combined and the heavens are ringing, the Son of Heaven is benevolent and sage, there are giant Confucians, and Shu is a Shu I. So he mentioned the outline, neat and customary, and the style of the three generations slightly returned to the old view. ”

“…… Confucius entered the university at the age of fifteen, and at the seventeenth year, Meng Lizi belonged to him and went to study the ceremony, at the thirty and asked the courtesy in the history of the pillar, and at the forty-second went to Qijing, but Lu called the public and set the public ......"

This chapter question is biased towards a rigorous and atmospheric style, inheriting Jia Cong's previous Zhongzheng and plain, and the format of mentioning two comparisons, middle two comparisons, and last two comparisons is not very compliant. The usual eight-strand format is not common in the chapter questions, which is really a bitter candidate, and the provincial exam is playing with people like this.

The second eleventh entry, five scriptures, the third fourteen entry, the test of five questions, Jia Cong's poetry questions are still decent, only the policy question, the "paving into the mu" has made an in-depth analysis, from the Ming Dynasty land highly annexed and perished, Zhang Juzheng's whip law of Zhongxing, Wang Yang wanton more than 10,000 words, talking about the advantages of abolishing the poll tax outweigh the disadvantages. When the sixteenth appeared, Jia Cong and other members of the living beings felt as if they had been in prison for three years, and they had a feeling of seeing the light of day again.

Then I fell into an anxious wait, waiting for the dragon and tiger list on the day when the osmanthus fragrance was fragrant.
