Even if you want to publish "Golden Vase Plum", you can't rush it, with the urine nature of Su Tong and Zheng Qian, Shen Xi feels that it is really inappropriate to ask them to help publish this kind of "teaching, obstinity, teaching, and theft" book.

As for Su Tong and Zheng Qian inviting him to go to the Jiaofang Division again, Shen Xi would rather go back and be locked up for a few more hours in the small black room than go together, he found that he really didn't have any common language with these two people, and he might let himself go in for a long time.

On June 12, Liu Bing, the chief examiner of this year's college examination, arrived in Tingzhou Fucheng, and the examination date was immediately announced, and the examination was scheduled for June 20, eight days later.

The examination is divided into two sessions, the first exam has a three-day break after the end, and the second session of the college exam will be held on June 24 to officially decide whether the candidate passes or not.

According to the previous regulations, the first session of the college examination will be about double the number of people admitted to the show, that is, about 100 people.

It is not easy for candidates in the six or seven hundred college examinations to pass the first one, not to mention that many of them are among the students who are escorted, and even if they pass the first one, the chance of admission to the second one is still only about one-third.

Even those who often rank high in the regular and monthly examinations of the Confucian Studies Department at the prefectural and county levels know that the admission standards for the college examination are completely different from those of previous examinations, and no one dares to take it lightly.

Liu Bing was born as a jinshi and served briefly in the Hanlin Academy.

What is Hallym-in Temple? That's where the people who came out of it are naturally knowledgeable, but the question is, how can you make a qualified essay so that the examiner from the Hanlin Academy will appreciate your talent and learning, and then take you as a talent?

It is said that the exam is in late June, and many candidates also use this time to prepare for the exam, but the exam is finally set on June 20, but the time is the last day of mid-June, which makes some candidates dissatisfied.

Maybe it happened that on the last day, I temporarily crammed a Cheng essay and bumped into the exam question?

There are not a few children with this mentality, and even when they look at the examination room a few days in advance. There were also people shouting in front of all the candidates, which was heard by Liu Bing, who came to inspect the examination room.

Shen Xi was refused to visit Liu Bing before, and then learned some rumors about Liu Bing, so he understood that this person couldn't rub sand in his eyes. Such a person who is very strict with himself and others will definitely not be able to deal with it once he loses his temper.

Sure enough, just when Shen Xi was wondering if these candidates were too arrogant, Liu Bing immediately ordered several officials to take out the child who had just made trouble. One of them gave him a few sticks.

The beaten examinee screamed and screamed: "I can't punish the sergeant...... doctor"

It's a pity that this candidate has no fame yet, and he can't be called a "scholar", and he fought in vain. Liu Bing scolded: "The husband must be quiet to learn, and he must learn, and he cannot be broadened without learning, and he cannot learn without ambition." If you are slow, you can't be excited, and if you are impatient, you can't be sexual! ”

After speaking, Liu Bing didn't stay long, and left the examination room with his entourage.

Candidates, you look at me, I look at you. Many people looked puzzled, I don't know which nerve this examiner sent and why what he said is so obscure?

Shen Xi was speechless on the side, Liu Bing scolded the candidate's words, from Zhuge Liang's "Book of Commandments", which means that learning must be quiet and single-minded, talent comes from learning, without learning, you can't expand your talent, and without ambition, you can't achieve learning. Indulgence and laziness do not lift the spirits. Impatience does not cultivate temperament.

This is thought-provoking, but the candidates in this year are all rote memorizing the "Four Books", "Five Classics" and related Cheng Wen to cope with the imperial examination, and they do not have much knowledge of other so-called "miscellaneous books". I want to know more about what is not included in the imperial examination. In addition to someone who is willing to lend you the book, you also have to be able to memorize it calmly and figure out the meaning, which is undoubtedly too difficult for candidates who are eager for quick success and only seek to enter the imperial examination.

Liu Bing is so gruntery, after all, only a few can understand. However, it left some candidates with the impression of being an "old pedant", who spoke in a crepe-like manner, and was still showing off his knowledge in front of the younger generations, which was not the choice of a good teacher.

However, candidates have long formed a habit of dealing with the examiner, are you an old pedant? That's good, let's not spell the quality of the discussion, but who quotes the scriptures and classics more biased, if you are biased, then you will be able to show talent. If I quote more than you, then I'll be the head of the case!

On the way back, Shen Xi unfortunately met Su Tong again, but Su Tong was alone this time, and Su Tong sighed after the ceremony: "This Liu Tixue is really rigorous, Brother Shen, have you heard what he said clearly?" ”

Shen Xi thought to himself, this is definitely not a question sentence, how can you be sure that Liu Bingzhi is rigorous if you don't understand?

Shen Xi immediately shook his head.

Su Tong smiled, he didn't know that Shen Xi was pretending to be confused, so he explained a little first, and then sighed: "Brother Shen should dabble in more books, be well-read, so as not to be stumped by the exam questions this time, just from what Liu Tixue said just now, I know that this exam question is not easy." ”

Shen Xi had already obtained Liu Bing's exam questions from Hui Niang in the past two years, including the first few months, in various colleges and universities in Fujian, and found some patterns.

Liu Bing's questions are not difficult, but they are obviously more formal than the county test and the government test, divided into major questions and small questions, the big questions are one of the five scriptures, and the four small questions are two essays, so that the candidates have to do a total of three articles during the college examination. Liu Bing in the previous exam, each exam out of a lot of questions, often only four books out of seven or eight small questions, let the candidates themselves to "draw questions", draw which is which, this is also to prevent candidates from cheating each other, as for the five scriptures of the big question, itself because of the candidate's choice of the scriptures and divided into five, now he has a few questions in each scripture, so that there are more questions, usually after the exam, the candidates get together, want to review the content of the exam questions, to see if they can pass, As a result, I found that the topics I had done were completely different, and there was nothing to discuss.

This time, Su Tong did not invite Shen Xi to go to Huatian and Drink together, after all, there were only two days left to prepare for the exam after reading the examination room, and even he had to go back to review well.

Shen Xi returned to the pharmacy, and at this time, Feng Huaqi was telling Hui Niang and Zhou about the specific process of the hospital examination.

Because Shen Xi was facing a big exam, Hui Niang even put aside the matter at the Chamber of Commerce for the time being, and stayed in the pharmacy to help Zhou's in the past few days, and urged Shen Xi to study by the way. In the days when Xie Yun'er was away, the Zhou family was busy, and she couldn't even take care of the Shenxi Entrance Examination.

"Hello sir."

When Shen Xi saw Feng Huaqi, he honestly greeted him. This is the basic teacher-student etiquette, and it should not be neglected at all.

Feng Yanqi handed over a few pieces of paper in his hand: "There are a few exam questions here, you can take them to practice." ”

In the past six months. Shen Xi has done hundreds of exam questions alone, and the content of the exam is varied, not to bet on the questions, but for Feng Yanqi to train his ability to review the questions, solve the questions and write the words. Shen Xi took the exam questions and looked at them, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, haven't these two questions been done before?" ”

"Really? Then you read it again and make two different ones. Feng Yanqi's old face was a little unbearable.

He has a lot of students under him, and he has to teach during the day. As a teaching management school, he has to tutor candidates in private, and among the candidates are the county exams, the government exams, and the institute exams, and he has had so many questions that he can't even remember clearly, and he has to study which topics in the four books are easier to test, and a few plausible truncated questions, and even he, the questioner, is confused.

Shen Xi took the topic upstairs.

At this time, only one room was left on the second floor of the pharmacy as a bedroom, which was Hui Niang's room, which was also where Hui Niang's usual accounts were located.

As for Lu Xi'er's room. has been completely transformed into Shen Xi's study, so that Shen Xi has two study rooms at home and in the pharmacy, which is enough to show that the two families attach importance to his study.

Shen Xi can do other things slowly, but he is extremely fast, in the past, he used to do this kind of mock questions, he was also used to making drafts first, sorting out and proofreading before transcribing the text. Until now, when I see a topic, I can put it down if I think about it, and I don't even bother to type a draft. Anyway, the mock questions don't involve too advanced knowledge. Just solve the problem appropriately and pay attention to the correct formatting.

In this way, the two essays are about 600 to 700 words, and they were completed in less than an hour. This was when he deliberately slowed down his pace for a period of rest in between. When he walked downstairs, Feng Yanqi hadn't left yet.

"So fast?" Zhou frowned, "Han Wa'er, didn't Mr. Feng say it?" Even if the topic is the same, you have to make a new article and come out, and you can't cope with it. ”

Shen Xi said: "Mother." I'm working on a new article. ”

As he spoke, Shen Xi handed his answer sheet to Feng Yuqi.

After Feng Yanqi read it, he nodded slightly, and finally commented: "It's all flat and stable." The simple four-character evaluation is actually a criticism of Shen Xi for being too perfunctory.

After hearing this, Zhou thought that Mr. was praising Shen Xi, and in her opinion, stability is a good thing, or "peace and stability", which is better than better. Hui Niang heard the question, with some blame: "Xiaolang, you still have to study hard, and an article must be reviewed and reviewed." ”

Shen Xi respectfully agreed, and then sent Feng Yanqi away.

When the others left, Zhou's face had a strange look: "Sister, Mr. Feng said that Han Wa'er's article was done steadily, isn't it praise?" ”

Hui Niang sighed: "There are so many candidates in the college examination, there are too many mediocre people, my sister thinks that Xiao Lang can't make the examiner's eyes shine just by relying on a stable article, can he be a talent?" ”

As soon as Zhou heard that, he directly reached out to catch Shen Xi, but Shen Xi was clever and had already run to the backyard: "Mother, I'll go home first to warm the book, and I'll send it over when the meal is ready." ”

Zhou scolded and scolded, and Shen Xi didn't care.

Anyway, the afternoon's homework has been completed, Shen Xi decided to find some leisure and entertainment projects, and now he has a plan to publish "Golden Bottle Plum", so it is better to write down the content of "Golden Bottle Plum" in his mind first, and then add or delete it a little to complete his Shen's "Golden Bottle Plum".

In the evening, when Zhou went to the study to deliver food, he saw Shen Xi writing hard, writing very seriously, and the handwriting was neat and beautiful, and he wanted to scold but couldn't get out.

"Han Wa'er, don't work hard, you have to take the exam the day after tomorrow, eat more, and eat enough to have strength. Is it cold at night? Do you want to add another quilt to your bed? ”

Shen Xi raised his head and looked at Zhou with a little surprise: "Mother, it's dog days now." ”

Only then did Zhou react: "Oh, yes. Then don't be hot, if you don't have a good rest in the past two days, you are sick, your Aunt Xie is not there, no one will treat you, and you will drag your sick body into the examination room, and it will be difficult to do well in the exam. This fish soup nourishes the brain, drink a few more sips, hot? Dai'er, come in and blow the soup cold for Hanwa'er...... Blow slowly, don't blow into the spittle...... Don't look at it, write your homework. ”

"If you can be admitted to Xiucai this year, you will be able to take the examination next year, and you will be able to be admitted to the Jinshi the year after tomorrow, and if you win the top prize......"

Shen Xi heard the old lady talking to herself there, and said in his heart that this imperial examination is really harmful, he is not the master of the matter, and he will be stunned first.
