The hospital examination, which had been postponed for a long time for various reasons, finally came, and all the scholars of Ningbo Mansion were gearing up and ready to play their best.

Xu Yan naturally attaches more importance to the gambling contract with Zhang Yinian.

He has done his best in preparation for this college examination, and I believe that he will definitely be able to win the favor of Grandmaster Lei with his unique style.

When the morning light was faint, Xu Yan got up early to freshen up. After breakfast, he went to the school with Chen Maoli for reference.

Ningbo Fuxue is very close to Tailai Inn, and Xu Yan soon came to the gate of Fuxue.

Taking the exam basket from the little scholar's hand, Xu Yan began to line up.

The process of the college examination and the government examination is almost the same, which is nothing more than that the examiner has changed from the prefect to the school officer.

As for the exam questions, they are all the same.

The basic skills of the candidates who can pass the government examination are not bad, and what they see is to play and cope on the spot.

Due to the large number of candidates, the start of the examination has been brought forward, but the level of detail has not been reduced.

As usual, check the basket, the body, and even the bun.

All possible entrainments will be found one by one.

One after another, candidates passed the inspection and entered the school.

Of course, there will also be one or two entrained candidates who are found with cheat sheets and taken away directly.

In this case, depending on the attitude of the examiner, the qualification for this examination will be cancelled at the least, and the qualification for the examination will be permanently cancelled.

Xu Yan shook his head and continued to walk forward.

When it was Xu Yan's turn, there was not much preferential treatment as usual, and Xu Yan was put in after a routine inspection.

Like the prefectural examination, this examination is also divided into the examination shed area and the Minglun parish.

Candidates who were at the top of the last government exam can take the exam in Minglun Hall and enjoy a better environment.

Xu Yan sat down in the first row of Minglun Hall with the examination basket and found that the next table was Zhang Yinian.

As for Chen Maoli, he was on the other side.

Xu Yan ignored Zhang Yinian's jealous gaze, and took out the pen and ink inkstone from the examination basket in turn.

Soon, the candidates came to the hall one after another to sit down, and everyone was waiting for the arrival of Grandmaster Lei.

Xu Yan simply closed his eyes and rested.

This is a habit he has before the exam.

One is to calm the mind, and the other is to think about the key points of recent revision.

After a while, Lei Li came to Minglun Hall surrounded by everyone and sat down at the top.

Everyone in the hall waited with bated breath for the Grand Master to announce the start of the exam.

It's just that the first thing they waited for was that Grandmaster Lei announced that this academy exam was a vague exam, and the exam papers would be copied by someone else.

This is very unusual, usually only the township test and above will be confused, and the primary three level exam will not be confused.

However, since the Grand Master had decided so, there was nothing to question.

For Xu Yan, it doesn't have much impact.

After all, during this time, Mr. Qian gave him special training in literary style, as long as he can write an article that Lei Li is satisfied with, he will definitely pass the college examination and get a very good ranking.

In fact, Mu Ming helped Xu Yan to some extent. After all, Xu Yan's current words can only be regarded as neat, not beautiful.

After the name was copied, the shortcomings of Xu Yan's poor handwriting were avoided.

The next step is to announce the exam questions.

There are three questions in this college examination, namely two questions of four books and one question of the Five Classics.

Xu Yan recorded the questions in turn, starting from the first question.

Seeing righteousness is not for nothing.

This topic comes from the Analects, and Grandmaster Lei is very kind and does not come up with a truncating question.

Although Xu Yan had not seen this topic before, it was still very easy to start solving the problem.

He pondered for a moment, then put pen to paper.

The saint looks to the world for righteousness, and arouses his original heart.

Gai Yong was born in righteousness, and righteousness is in action. The first thing I saw was that, what hope should I have?

......

Today, there will be a lot of things, and the famous teachers will also be in the dust.

So that what is right and wrong will be abundant, and it will not be contrary to the interests and harms, and the ancient and modern will be loyal and good;

So that the likes and dislikes will not contradict slander, and the hearts of people will be safe and honest.

After all, the large amount of practice of several articles a day is effective, and with the guidance of Mr. Qian, Xu Yan's writing is now very smooth.

The more he wrote, the smoother it became, and he felt like a god.

The vigor is so stuffed with heaven and earth, and the line is like the deep spring, and there is nothing else.

Qi is pure, so it reaches a hundred things, runs through everything, and there is nothing wrong.

Woohoo, yes is enough.

After writing the last few words, Xu Yanzhi felt a hearty pleasure.

Compared with a month ago, the biggest change in his writing now is that he pays more attention to the internal structure of the article, so that the whole text has a good integrity.

When you read it throughout, you will find it very smooth.

In addition, he can imitate Mr. Qian's style of writing, and the article is definitely of the highest grade in Lei Li's opinion.

Xu used too much energy, and Xu Yan rested for a long time.

Pick up the pen again, Xu Yan began to review the second four-book question.

The title is Provincial Penal Book.

This question is much more tricky than the previous one.

Shiwen focuses on filial piety, so readers practice a lot in this area.

And this time, Grandmaster Lei did the opposite, and came up with a topic of governing the country.

This question is a question that ordinary readers will have a black eye.

After all, they don't hear anything outside the window, and they only read the books of the sages.

In addition to the words of the saints, the words of the saints are full of thoughts, where do you know what to govern the country.

Even if you write it head-on, it's mostly empty, and you don't know what you're talking about.

But Xu Yan is different, he has studied the history of the Jiajing Dynasty for so long in his previous life, and he has a large and comprehensive understanding of Jiajing officialdom.

In this case, even if he doesn't show his housekeeping skills, he only needs to shake out a part, which is enough to crush these dead children.

After a little thought, Xu Yan wrote:

Benevolent government will be able to win people, and the country must first pay attention to its own plan.

Gai enjoys the rest of the province, and serves the diligence of cultivation, if the husband is in trouble, the people can use it.

The outline is collar, and the heart is straightforward, Xu Yan's opening can be described as perfect.

He paused for a moment, and then wrote: The ministers are benevolent, please finish their words. One is punishment, one is taxation, one is cultivation, and one is lessons...

The more Xu Yan wrote, the more hearty he became, and he wrote hundreds of words.

When it came to the closing stage, he was not ambiguous, and wrote:

Ten years of life and reunion, ten years of lessons, old and weak, so the country is strong. The strong man can't be idle, and if he has a lot of time, his muscles will be soft, and the twilight will be terrifying...

The art of war is said to be the soldier of father and son, the army of faithfulness, and it is also a service, which can make the court use the strong armor of Qin and Chu.

After writing this article, Xu Yan felt that he had stabilized.

He is in a very good state today, and his style is also in place, and he only needs to go through the process to complete the Pentateuch questions.

His book is a Book of Songs, and the title is Lamb Qiu Leopard.

The original text is:

The lamb and the leopard are dispelled, and they live in self-dwelling. Is there no one else? The reason for Weizi.

Lamb and leopard, self-inquiry. Is there no one else? Weizi is good.

This title is intended to satirize those who abandon the past, and Xu Yan found the breaking point after a little thought.
