One or two sentences or a small section of the title of the four books is called a small topic, and if several sections or unrelated sentences are truncated, it is called a major topic. The county examination generally has small questions, and it will become more and more difficult in the future government examination and hospital examination, and the elimination rate is very high.

The county examinations are all propositions and examinations conducted by the county.

The examination shed is set up at the bottom left of the Confucian County School, and the county examination is not as strict as the township examination and the meeting examination, and there is no separate room separated. The examination shed is temporarily built with trees and thatch, and the number of candidates is large, and the county school can not accommodate it, and the students of the county school also have to do their homework in it.

Fortunately, Wanping occupies the geographical advantage, after all, it is Beijing County, the lack of tables and benches, the situation of sun and rain is enough to avoid, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Liangguang candidates do not have this condition, not to mention that it is difficult to enter the county mountain road, and the tables and benches must be brought by themselves...... The facilities of the examination booth are not good, and the weather affects their exams, and there are also ......

When they entered, it was still rooster crowing and bright, and by the time they had finished the procedure, the sunlight had already shone in obliquely through the cracks in the wooden planks of the examination shed.

Jia Cong ate a cake first, and then the trial poem (five-character and eight-rhyme poem) also came out, written on the sign, and the official carried it, and walked back and forth from the two rows of aisles between the tables to make sure that everyone could see it.

"It's not a difficult topic, but it's hard to write new ideas......"

"Yes, I've done this before, but I've done it in the past, and it's not in line with today's fashion."

Candidates began to whisper, the reason why Baguwen is called Shiwen, is the fashion of the text, does not mean that the writing of the dynasty does not conform to the Shun Dynasty, it is last year, and it may not be in line with this year's fashion, that is, it changes with the season, you have to copy the previous article with the same topic, and the examiner will find an excuse to call back.

Qin Zhong looked back nervously from the front seat, Jia Cong reciprocated with a warm smile, and Qin Zhong also began to be hungry, grinding ink, and thinking.

Jia Cong is not in a hurry, how many hours is there for the exam, he has the habit of beating the draft, while drinking water, while secretly pondering, nearly a year, he can be said to have experienced the eight-strand style of "three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation", this kind of simple question, of course, has been done, but he has the ambition to win the ranking, and will not copy it: according to Fan Zhixian's article spleen, this person does not like gorgeous lay-outs and rhetoric, so he is ready to work refining words and argumentation.

"Ahem...... Quiet! Ma Dianshi said behind his hands: "The county lord has spoken, the scientific examination is a national talent ceremony, the selection of talented people, those who dare to carry entrainment, cheating, flail to show the public, exempt from the three-year examination qualification!" No mercy! Those who need to be respectful should talk to the yamen in advance...... As soon as the rules are followed, the county has just said it. ”

Ma Dianshi didn't dare to say hello to Jia Cong, and went out quite seriously, Jia Cong was thinking about "point, how is it", from the "Analects", it was Confucius who asked Zengzi's ambition, and the necessity of gnawing the four books came out: Zengzi's answer must be known, otherwise there is no way to start. And Zengzi's answer here is very ethereal, not for the country, not for the people, but like a hermit.

A teenage brother next to him suddenly pulled out the tip of the pen, took out a small rolled paper from it, compared it with the article on the paper, hurriedly copied it, and said with a smile: "Jia Prodigy, tolerant and tolerant." ”

Jia Cong was speechless: No matter how severe the punishment is, there is no shortage of cheaters, there are people cheating in the township examination, not to mention the lowest level of the county examination.

He was out of sight, and in a moment, several soap-clad servants rushed in like wolves, "You! Get out! Flail for the public! ”

There are so many people patrolling, how can you not see it, this benevolent brother is like a mourner, crying, and was immediately shackled by the officials, Ma Dianshi wrote a piece of paper paste, the paper is: "This person cheats!" Flail for the public! Set an example! ”

Pulling to visit the people in the examination shed, they lost face, and many candidates' faces changed greatly, and some gloated.

About a quarter of an hour, Jia Cong had already figured out how to put forward an argument and then argue, at this time Fan Zhixian came in to inspect and walked to his table, but seeing that there was not a word on the manuscript paper, Fan Zhixian knocked on the table dissatisfied: "Hurry up and write!" ”

Jia Cong nodded, and Fan Zhixian walked to the review room puzzled: "The topic is not difficult, why does it seem to be difficult for Jia Cong?" ”

Kuang Liuhe can't see this person, but Qi Jia, the "sixth son of Youyan", is working hard to write like flying, writing and thinking, brushing and brushing to write the draft, and then brushing and brushing over, and in less than an hour, he went to hand in the papers.

Qi Jia proudly looked down at the audience when he left, although he was only seven years old and couldn't look down on his height, but psychologically he was looking down on the audience, and Youyan's sixth son was not called in vain.

Many candidates are envious, jealous and hateful, they can't, scratch their ears and cheeks, continue to think, and continue to write.

Jia Cong had no distractions, and broke the title on the manuscript paper: "Whatever you encounter, where the saint is!" ”

"What's the difference? There is a chemical machine between the spring breeze and the water, so the son uses a sigh to point to the ......"

“…… If Yu, Gao, Yi, and Dan had not had this encounter at that time, they would have drowned in the ...... of old age."

“…… The scenery, the fame of the Dashi, Huang, Nong, Yu, and Xia are not different from this wind period today, and it is difficult to see Xihao ...... again"

After writing it with enthusiasm, and then looking at the five-word and eight-rhyme poems, it's not worth saying, why? The test post poem is to sing the praises of virtue, decent, do not make mistakes, Jia Cong perfunctory one, but also passable, and then check and check, to make sure that the royal temple number, the name of the emperor of this dynasty, etc., before re-transcribing, a hand in regular script delicate, calm and powerful. and other county government invigilators to blur their names and submit papers.

Everything, just wait for the release of the list in a few days.

……

The temporarily vacated examiner's room is full of cases, five days, five exams, which requires several days of review, which is purely mental work.

Fan Zhixian is full of food and drink, chest and belly, big belly drooping on the chair, he is strong, he has been an official for a few years, scavenging the people's fat and people's ointment, people are also fat, the general chair can not accommodate his buttocks, brushing the cyan six-pinned heron silk to make up for the clothes, holding a red pen, encountering articles that are taboo and dirty, and are directly thrown into the trash by the county magistrate.

A few bookstores still have to pick it up, in case the candidates make trouble, they can talk.

"The article is good, but the topic is broken, the four ratios are not clear, the layout is gorgeous, flashy! This volume...... can only be sentenced to second. Fan Zhixian had a thought, and the prodigy Qi Jia ranked second in the county test in Wanping.

Qi Jia's article is brilliant, he likes gorgeous lay-outs and rhetoric, imitating the poetry of the Han and Tang dynasties, and the famous masters of the Song Dynasty, and highly praises Zengzi's outlook on life and values, however, Fan Zhixian does not like to be gorgeous, and the psychology of the examiner is sometimes very important.

"Good!" After flipping through a few copies, Fan Lin was amazed! This volume is not only ingenious, informative, and flawless, but it is more than enough to take it to the government and the academy, and most importantly, it is too much for his appetite: the language is concise and the center is clear.

Fan Zhixian recited the title intoxicatedly: "What is the intention of thinking about life and being depressed and worried?" The economy of the different day, although it is real and false, why not? With its wait also; The current sustenance, although it is both virtual and real, what is it? With its no-go waiting! ”

The volume has been named, will this one be Jia Cong's? The handwriting also gives people a good impression, and there is no mistake in the trial poem, Fan Lin remembered that Jia Cong and Luo Guoqi wrote poems last year, and the same language was concise, and he smiled whimsily, and set this volume as the head of the case, and after a few days of review, he ordered people to go out and publish the list according to the ranking.
