Sun Hao's quick submission of the paper not only surprised Sun Dan, but also surprised Zhang Zhixian.

Sun Dan saw Zhang Zhixian take the scroll and look at it a few times, so he frowned slightly.

Sun Dan smiled secretly in his heart, what level Sun Hao is He knows best in his heart, a straw bag. However, these two topics are about memorization, depending on how well he has mastered the basics. Besides, Li Meiting had asked Sun Hao and them to do these two topics a few times before, and they should have been able to memorize them.

If Sun Dan guessed correctly, Sun Hao should have no problem thinking about today's exam today. It's just that his two essays definitely don't have any readability at all, only the format is acceptable, but he can't find any faults.

In a sense, Mr. Li Meiting's method of instilling articles in advance to the schoolchildren is somewhat similar to the eight-strand essay by Huang Hongxian, a Qing Dynasty man copied by Sun Dan before, which is boring and boring, but it can get high marks.

Zhang Duan and his eldest brother Zhang Xuan have a family history, and they were also famous talents in Zhejiang at the beginning, and they valued scholars with literary talent and style the most.

When I saw Sun Hao's article today, I was a little unhappy in my heart. But the exam is not judged by his subjective will, and after looking at it twice, he had to reluctantly draw a circle on the paper.

Sun Hao was overjoyed, "Plop!" He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and sang a fat promise: "Thank you, parents." ”

It turned out that the county examination in the Ming Dynasty was not strict, and the examiner could admit him on the spot if he encountered an eye-catching paper. Just now, Zhang Zhixian lifted the pen and put it around Sun Hao's scroll, even if he let Sun Hao pass the test.

Zhang Zhixian let Sun Hao pass the customs, firstly, for the sake of Sun Hao being the son of the grandson's family, and secondly, he really couldn't find anything wrong with this volume. With a wave of his hand, Sun Hao walked out of the examination room.

When Sun Hao went out, he squeezed his eyes at Sun Dan and signaled him to hurry up.

It's a pity that Sun Dan didn't want to be in the limelight, so he only smiled and buried his head again.

Time passed little by little, and after a while, people kept getting up and handing in the papers, most of whom were children of the Sun family.

Zhang Zhixian deserves to be a talent, took the paper, read it at a glance, and was admitted on the spot when he met the one he liked. In less than an hour, six people were let through.

Sun Dan was surprised to find that five of the six people were schoolchildren of the Sun Family School, and it seemed that Mr. Li Meiting was going to be proud this time.

Of course, the dry and boring article of the children of the Sun family still made Zhang Zhixian frown and look very impatient.

Seeing Zhang Zhixian's impatient expression, Sun Dan didn't realize in his heart that what kind of teacher there is, what kind of student there is. Mr. Li is an exam maniac, a monster created by the exam-oriented education system, you don't expect to be able to cultivate talented and beautiful people.

This is the first time Sun Dan has participated in the ancient imperial examination, and the boys' examination is not difficult for him at all, but it is good to take this opportunity to practice and familiarize himself with the atmosphere of the examination room.

With this mentality, he copied his hands and sat next to him to watch the excitement.

It was already dawn, and although the children's examination was the first pass of the imperial examination, it was also difficult for some schoolchildren. The examination room is gradually divided into two levels, and most of those who can pass the test are handed in within an hour. The rest of the crooked melons and cracked dates bit the tip of the pen and sat in the examination room thinking hard.

Only Sun Dan was looking left and right in the examination room, which was very prominent.

It didn't matter if he looked at it randomly, but it attracted Zhang Zhixian's attention.

Zhang Zhixian heard Li Meiting strongly admiring Sun Dan before, and remembered that he had come to participate in the children's examination after just over a month, so he was concerned first. Seeing that he had been sitting in the examination room for a long time and had not started writing, he was a little displeased, and said secretly: "What can I learn in a month, I will come to participate in the children's exam, and this Li Meiting will not be able to do it." ”

He walked slowly in front of Sun Dan with his hands behind his back, leaned his neck to look over, but saw that Sun Dan's scroll only had the word "people" written on it.

Zhang Zhixian shook his head and asked in a low voice, "Do you think this topic is a little difficult?" ”

Sun Dan saw that he had attracted the attention of Laizhi County, and knew that he had played too much. I knew that I would have slept on the table first, but unfortunately it was still a little cold, and I was afraid that I would catch a cold when I slept in the examination room.

He whispered, "My lord, the student thinks that this topic is not difficult, and it can be completed in a few moments." It's just that it's still early. Now, if the papers are handed in, the students will have nowhere to go. It's freezing outside, so it's better to stay in the exam room to get warmer. ”

Zhang Zhixian was very unhappy in his heart, and secretly thought, it turned out that he had come here to keep warm. The students taught by Li Meiting have hateful faces, and the articles are useless. Grading their papers is nothing short of torture. This scholar and schoolboy in the north is really wooden, and the things he writes are not very spiritual.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhang Zhixian felt a little angry in his heart: "Sun Dan, you will take the exam immediately." Previously, Mr. Li said in front of me that you are a rare talent, and this county is standing by your side today waiting for you to write, to see how you are different from other schoolchildren in the Sun family. The things written by your Sun family are really ugly, and Mr. Li must have asked you to do a lot of similar writing in advance. You write something like this this time to come out and stick to my eyes, and you won't take anything of it. ”

Sun Dan was very helpless, being guarded like this by the side, it was impossible not to attract attention.

That's it, let's finish the question quickly and go to Sun Hao and them.

Sun Dan thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that Zhang Zhixian already had an opinion about himself. Moreover, the exam papers handed in by the schoolchildren of the Sun family just now also made him depressed. If you write honest articles step by step, I'm afraid that the score will not be high.

Okay, since Zhang Zhixian wants to see beautiful text, I'll write a beautiful article for you.

After thinking about it, he immediately remembered that there were two articles with the same title in the Qing Dynasty Nalan Xingde's "Tongzhitang Collection". Nalan Rongruo is a famous genius in the Qing Dynasty, plagiarizing his articles should make Zhang Zhixian's eyes shine.

Zhang Zhixian is a native of Jiangnan, and he must like this kind of elegant writing.

So, Sun Dan picked up the pen and wrote after the word "people": "The people are rich in the bottom, and the king is rich in the top." "This is a problem-solving.

Then there is the subject.

"The wealth of the king is hidden from the people, and the people are rich, how can the king be poor alone? If it is said that the monarch and the people are one, in order to mourn the public. ”

At this time, Sun Dan is not clumsy, and he can't use the square and dignified pavilion body, and the pen is Su Shi's "Cold Food Sticker".

This calligraphy was hidden in the National Palace Museum in Taipei in later generations, Sun Dan did not know how many times he copied it at the beginning, and now he has the intention to show off in front of Zhang Zhixian, and he is not clumsy, and the pen is two lines of dripping characters.

"Good!" When Zhang Zhixian saw these two lines of big characters, he suddenly trembled on his body, and couldn't help but shout: "Forgetful and clumsy, the words are very thin, but Mr. Dongpo's penmanship?" The article is also wonderful, Zhong Lingshui is beautiful, and there is a faint water aura coming out of the paper. A good disciple of Mr. Li's training! ”

Sun Dan didn't speak, he kept a strained face, and the pen walked the dragon and snake, and he finished writing this article in a moment. Needless to say, this article is written with flowers, and this hand Su Dongpo's "Cold Food Sticker" is ancient and vigorous, and the ancient meaning of "Analects" complements each other, and suddenly it looks like it is about to spiral out of the paper.

Flick the roll aside, replace it with another clean piece of pepper white paper, and start to do the second question.

Zhang Zhixian loved Sun Dan's talent, and he didn't care about Sun Dan's rudeness, and thought that he had only been in the dark for more than a month, and he was able to write such good words and good articles, and his heart was shocked: Ordinary people want to write such good words, I don't know how much hard work they have to put in, and how many famous family texts they have to copy. Sun Mansion naturally has no shortage of authentic works of famous artists, but it can be figured out overnight. But January was able to read and write, and the pen was self-contained, but it can only be described as genius.

Sun Dan picked up the pen and wrote a line on the paper: "There is no name for the posterity, and the saint is worried." ”

This time, he replaced Mi Fu's "Shu Su Ti" book.

This line of words is more in line with Zhang Zhixian's mind than the previous Su Dongpo's "Cold Food Sticker", and after only reading two words, he sighed lightly: "For the strange danger of the text, do not follow the path of the predecessors." It is particularly wonderful in Hanmo, Shen Feizhu, and has the pen of Wang Xian. But Mi Dian's brushwork? ”

"It's the words of Mi Yuanzhang." Sun Dan nodded, this distraction, the last word "also" was suddenly disconnected because the ink had dried.

At this time, Zhang Zhixian only felt very uncomfortable feeling empty in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "It's a pity, it's a pity." For example, the wrestler makes a jack hammer, but this hammer goes down, but it falls into a void, regret! ”

Sun Dan pointed to the inkstone: "The ink has dried." ”

"No hurry, no hurry." Zhang Zhixian smiled and refilled the inkstone, rolled up his sleeves and polished the ink for Sun Dan: "If you have a good hand, you can get the first place in this department, and write slowly, I haven't seen such good words for many years." ”

The owner of the ceremonial house over there hurriedly said: "Sun Dan, you still don't kneel down to Xie Zhixian Master, you have already passed this subject." ”

Zhang Zhixian laughed: "It's a strange thing if you can't pass like this, Sun Dan, you don't have to get up and kneel to thank you, finish the article, such a good word, such a good article, ordinary county tests can't be seen." I was also lucky to come across it, but unfortunately I didn't have any wine in my hands, so I couldn't float a lot. ”

Although it was expected, Sun Dan breathed a long sigh of relief, the county test was passed, and then the government test at the end of April, and then the road test.

It seems that the children's examination is also very simple, and it is not much different from the college entrance examination in later generations.
