Chapter 204: Exam Preparation

Leaving Kangling, Sun Dan stayed in Changping for one night. The next day I walked on the road for another day. When he returned to the Datong Inn, it was already dark, and the ancients went to bed early, so Sun Dan thought that it should be silent inside. But I never expected that as soon as I entered the yard, I heard the sound of spring silkworms eating mulberry leaves, and the lights in each room were on:

"A gentleman is based on the mean, and he does not regret it when he does not know it, but he is the saint."

"Those who are sincere are self-contained, and the Tao is self-avoiding."

This reminded Sun Dan of when he was in college before, the night before the final exam, and he felt a little trance.

However, in the midst of this reading, two people are arguing. Although the voice is suppressed, it is extremely abrupt in a cloud of poetry.

"Nan, how can you say that you are a father, I am also your father!"

"Say what's wrong with you, I said, Daddy, you are really. Although Mr. Sun is a classmate of Mr. Ping and is generous, you can't treat others as outsiders. On this day, you want to eat and drink in the inn, and you can order the best things and spread them, aren't you afraid of people's jokes? ”

"I'm afraid of some jokes, your father and I have been used to it all my life, how about eating some meat. Hmph, I'm afraid of jokes...... Are you afraid that Pingqiu will know and look down on you...... Don't think I don't know your mind, you are an ordinary woman, you are a master, will you look down on you? Do you still want to be a lady, do you dream? ”

There was a loud slamming of the door, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old woman with a single eyelid rushed out of the room, it was Zhang Qiangrose.

Sun Dan was about to walk to their door, and when he saw Zhang Qiangrose coming out, he smiled silently.

Zhang Qiangrose had been so embarrassed by her father that her face was flushed, and when she went out to see Sun Dan, she smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Sun is back." ”

"You're back, you've been out for a day, are you alright?" Sun Dan asked casually.

"Okay...... You've probably heard what we just said. The little woman asked, biting her lower lip.

"What did you just say?" Sun Dan deliberately pretended not to hear.

Zhang Qiangrose was a little angry, "Forget it, if you didn't hear it, you didn't hear it." By the way, I owe you money for wine and dinner, and Mr. Ping will come back tomorrow and pay you back. ”

Pingqiuli is coming tomorrow, well, it's time to come. Sun Dan nodded: "My brother and I have an old friendship, so I don't have to share it so lightly." It's night, and I'm going to review my homework, and I'll see you tomorrow. ”

"See you tomorrow." Looking at Sun Dan's back, Zhang Qiangrose was suddenly a little lost, she was born a beauty, anyone who saw her always wanted to say a few more words to her, even the big man in her eyes in Pingqiuli also flattered and flattered carefully. A lukewarm man like Sun Dan has really never seen it.

She burst out laughing, though. Secretly said: I like Mr. Ping, but it doesn't matter how other people treat me.

As soon as she thought of Pingqiuli, Zhang Qiangrose's face turned red, and her heart beat up uncontrollably.

After returning to the room, Sun Dan didn't go to sleep on the kang, but asked Feng Zhen to make himself a pot of tea and drink a few sips. Spread out the four treasures of the study and think about it in the candlelight.

Today is the third day of the first month of August, and there are still five days before the Shuntianfu Township Test on the ninth day of August.

This autumn festival is of great significance to Sun Dan, and it must not be sloppy.

Not only must you be able to pass the test, but you must also get a good score. In this way, the emperor could appoint himself to the local magistrate. If the results are too bad, everyone will not look good. Besides, he Sun Dan is also the leader of the younger generation of Shilin now, and he can't say that he doesn't get into the top three.

Sun Dan studied the ink, and he was not in a hurry to put down the pen, he carefully searched the information in his head, and soon searched for the test questions of the Shuntianfu Township Examination in the sixteenth year of Zhengde.

The examination was held at the Gongyuan Temple in Shuncheonfu, and there were three examinations before and after, on August 9, 12 and 15, with a total of three questions.

If there were no major problems with history, there should be no major changes in these three questions.

Sun Dan sorted out his thoughts, picked up the pen and wrote down three topics on the paper: "Easy to learn and almost know", "There is an security society", and "There is a way in the world".

Among them, the sentence "Eager to learn is close to knowing" comes from "The Mean": studious is close to knowing, practicing is close to benevolence, knowing shame is close to bravery, knowing the three, then knowing so self-cultivation?

It means that a person who is studious is not far from a wise man; Those who do everything they can will not be far from the benevolent; People who keep the word "honor and disgrace" in mind all the time are not far from the brave. Those who know these three things will be able to understand why everyone needs the purpose of self-cultivation.

The best thing to do with this sentence is Lu Jiuyuan of the Ming Dynasty, and Sun Dan has this one written by him in the database. Lu Xiangshan's level is naturally good, but it's a pity that he is from the Southern Song Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to copy him. With the same sentence made of eight strands, Sun Dan has two in his hands, which are works of the Qing Dynasty, as far as he is concerned, the writing is very ordinary, if it is copied, it will damage the name of Sun Dacaizi.

Therefore, Sun Dan picked up the pen and copied two paragraphs, and then couldn't bear to put the pen down.

If such a text falls into the hands of Sun Henian, it will definitely not get a high score.

But fortunately, this is the first game, and the quality of an article has little impact on the total score.

So, he continued to consider the article "You'an Sheji".

"Mencius" from "You'an Sheji": If there is something to be a gentleman, if something is a gentleman, it is a gentleman. There are those who have an security society, and those who are happy with an security society. Those who have heavenly people will be able to do it in the world and then do it. There are adults who are righteous and things are right.

This paragraph, Sun Dan happened to have a suitable article in his hand, which was made by Hai Rui. Mr. Hai is still a boy, and he probably didn't write this text, so he just copied it for me to use. With the level of the sea man, he should be able to pass the test.

So, Sun Dan happily copied this article from Hai Rui and looked at it under the lamp, but he was very satisfied.

As for the last article "There is a Way in the World", there is nothing to worry about.

There is a way in the world from the Analects: Confucius said: "If there is a way in the world, then the conquest of rites and music comes from the Son of Heaven; There is no way in the world, and the conquest of Lile comes from the princes. Since the princes, Gai Shi Xi is not lost; Since the doctor, the fifth generation is not lost; The courtiers are in charge of the country, and the third world is not lost. There is a way in the world, and the government is not in the doctor. If there is a way in the world, people will not discuss it. ”

For this article, Sun Dan has nothing to worry about. Since ancient times, many people like to find sentences from the Analects of Analects. For this sentence alone, Sun Dan has at least six corresponding model essays on hand, and it depends on which one he is willing to copy.

After checking in the database for a long time, Sun Dan finally chose one.

This article was written by Hu Youxin, a jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and by virtue of this splendid article, he successfully passed the spring curtain and was appointed by the emperor as the governor of Shunde County.

Although this person is unknown in history, he was a very famous examination machine at that time, and he was famous for his beautiful eight-strand Shiwen, and he passed two or three levels in one go, which caused quite a stir.

This kind of well-written article that is not famous is exactly what Sun Dan needs, and besides, other people's articles are really good.

For example, there is a sentence at the beginning: "The sage talks about the trend of the world, and the changes of obedience and disobedience are exhausted."

The trend of covering the world is just good and bad. Obey and rebel according to their kinds, and respond to the inevitable trend of the situation, who has escaped!

The trend of the world today, there are those who have yet known why it is, those who have not yet known what it will be, and those who do not know it but know its certainty, this is the trend of the world, I taste the overview! ”

It's written in a catchy way, and it's a pleasure to read. Although there is also a suspicion of playing with words and rapping, isn't this the tune of Baguwen?

Copying this article with a smile, and reading it a few times under the lamp, Sun Dan unconsciously sighed, and he didn't know who came up with the topic. It is estimated that Emperor Jiajing should have personally "" the knife. For three topics, choose three different books for yourself, and the topics are not difficult, they are all famous sentences in the book.

It seems that the emperor does not want to think that he will set up obstacles for candidates, he is also in urgent need of talents, and he pays attention to the success rate. I don't want to do some weird things like the Qing Dynasty in later generations, and as a result, some inexplicable people have gained fame.

Sun Dan roughly calculated, if the total score of each question is 100 points. He can get 60 points for the first article, about 90 points for the second Hai Rui article, and as for the third article, it shouldn't be a problem to get a perfect score. On average, it should be fine to score more than 80 points on each question. With such a result, it is estimated that it is easy to get into the top three.

Glancing at the three texts in his hand with satisfaction, Sun Dan lit the manuscript on the lamp.

If this thing falls into the hands of others, it will be a disaster for oneself, and it is better to destroy the evidence of the crime first.

As soon as the manuscript was burned, I heard someone knocking softly on the door outside.

As soon as the door opened, it turned out that Chen Rong came over to ask for questions.

Sun Dan was very distressed, after such a toss just now, the time should have reached about eleven o'clock Beijing time, and he was really tired.

But Chen Rong didn't look back at his eyes, he wrote four eight-strand essays in the past two days, and wanted to ask Sun Dan to help take a look, which could be regarded as preparing for the autumn season.

Sun Dan couldn't stand being pestered by him, and almost missed the three questions.

Finally resisting the impulse, Sun Dan could only lift his spirit and perfunctory with Chen Xiucai for a long time.

After another hour passed for this guy to leave, the lights in the rooms of the inn were still on, and many people were staying up late to read.

After Sun Dan returned to the room, he fell asleep as soon as his head stuck to the pillow.

I slept soundly, and I woke up early the next day.

Early in the morning, Sun Dan came to the courtyard and boxed with Feng Zhen.

Before he could finish punching, he heard "Ding! With a sound, a ray of light "shot" and nailed it to his feet.

"Who?" Feng Zhen shouted angrily.

"Hello Brother Sun, you got up so early! I heard that you have been waiting here for a few days in the autumn, hehe, Ping is late, so Brother Sun has been waiting for a long time. "A chic and calm gentleman walked in at the door of the inn, he looked calm, isn't it Pingqiu, who is it?

Sun Dan didn't expect him to be so bold: "Brother Ping, aren't you a fugitive, why are you still staying in Beijing?" ”

Ping Qiuli: "Didn't Your Majesty issue an amnesty, we are not criminals now." He smiled and looked at Sun Dan: "Brother Sun, you are now standing on the edge of the cliff without knowing it. You and I have known each other for a long time, but my brother can't bear to see you fall into the unpredictable abyss, so he specially ran over to remind you. Hehe, this is not the place to talk. Why, don't you invite me into the house to sit? ”
