Wang Jun collected the test papers that Bai Zhifu had flipped through, and then hurriedly handed them to the marking gentlemen.

You must know that the case will be reported two days after the end of the government examination, and it is impossible to let 20 gentlemen review thousands of test papers in just two days. In the end, most of them are scribbled and looked at a few times, the handwriting is beautiful, maybe you will look at the beginning and the end, and if you encounter poor calligraphy, you will skip it directly.

The students who sit in the hall are the best talents in each county, and they can enjoy the preferential treatment of being the first to be graded, which also greatly improves the possibility of breaking through.

Seeing that Shen Kang had finished the second article, Bai Zhifu stood up, opened the half-curtain and was about to walk out, he wanted to see how Shen Kang's talent was.

Seeing this, Wang Jun hurriedly bowed his hand and said in a low voice: "Fuzun, don't break the rules." ”

Bai Zhifu glanced at the gentlemen who were nervously reading the papers behind him, withdrew his hand, and said, "Yes, you reminded you right." He sat back in front of the desk and said, "Put away the second essay." ”

Wang Jun raised his eyes and replied, "It's still early, and it will take three more minutes before it can be rewinded." ”

Bai Zhifu frowned slightly, his eyes staring at the wooden box beside Shen Kang, and his heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had been scratched by a cat.

Time passes little by little, for Shen Kang, Shiwen is his strength, however, for the most critical style in the imperial examination, he is strong, and others are also strong.

Seeing that the title is taken from the text of "The Mean": Those who are sincere are self-contained; And the Tao is also the Tao.

The main concept of this article is the unity of the outside and the inside. And the unity of heaven and earth in the golden mean, and the unity of sincerity. The argument of this article lies in the word "sincerity".

The simpler the question, the more difficult it seems at such a critical moment, and it is not easy to catch the attention of Mr. Marker and stand out.

If you want to be honest, it is better to fall on sincerity in fact, in the second essay, he has used too many magnificent words, at this time, he does not need luxuriant and gorgeous words to set off his talent.

Starting from the precepts of the law, the dialogue between Confucius and King Lu is quoted to deduce the importance of the word sincerity to the people, scholars, monarchs and countries. Then from the economy, law, extension, and finally back to Jigu, in this way, a reasonable, well-founded, fair and elegant essay can be regarded as complete.

Next, solve the problem, take the topic, start talking, and start...... For Shen Kang, who has been polished for a long time, and has been trained by assault and assigned by famous teachers, it is like swimming a fish into the sea and a bird flying in the air.

"Bang Bang Bang" sounded three more times.

Some of the students on the side were unwilling, throwing in the wording essay, and some had not finished writing, but they refused to stop when they heard the sound of the bang, and they tried to save some.

Even Jiang Liuxuan was at the end of the day, hurriedly dropping the final argument, and the test paper was ruthlessly taken away.

Seeing the stacks of articles being collected, Bai Zhifu was faintly excited. He pretended to have nothing to do and flipped through a few essays, and after reading a few, he couldn't help but shake his head.

In fact, it is not surprising that these students do not do well in essays, essays are not particularly important subjects for the imperial examination, and they pay attention to completeness, sharpness, rhetoric like beads, and Lei Lei rotation.

He stared at the article in his hand, waved his hand and said, "Give Liu Shanchang a look at this essay." ”

Wang Jun took the plain paper with both hands, and then transferred it to Liu Shanchang's hands.

Liu Shanchang nodded and twisted his beard at first, and when the text reached the middle, his face became more and more blue. He raised his eyes to look at Bai Zhifu, got up and arched his hand: "This Shangcai student Fu Yi has a clear literary style, but he is suspected of attacking Ma Rong Ma Jichang's essay "Seven Strengths". ”

Bai Zhifu nodded and said in a muffled voice: "It seems that it is not that this mansion is wrong. ”

Liu Shanchang hurriedly said: "Fuzun Jinshi and the first, how can you read the text of the little schooler." ”

Bai Zhifu waved his hand and said, "Liu Shanchang really deal with it." With that, he was so disappointed that he opened an article casually.

The school officials of Shangcai County changed color when they heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to plead guilty.

"The subordinates are not strict in their studies, please punish the lord."

Bai Zhifu was in an extremely bad mood, disappointed and annoyed, waved his hand, and said: "The academic official only has the position of supervision, wait back, you can take a look at the learning heart of the students under your rule!" Don't give up virtue for the sake of ranking, the gains outweigh the losses! ”

"Yes, yes."

Bai Zhifu frowned, shook his head again and again, and in annoyance, he took out another test paper casually.

He unfolded the plain paper, lowered his eyes and looked at the title "Seven Understandings", and couldn't help but smile, but it was interesting, I don't know what these students who have just passed the county exam can understand?

The elegant and beautiful handwriting made him very appetizing, and he patiently read it line by line.

This article is set in the background of immortals, and it is interesting to read, and then day after day, as the article unfolds, he seems to have seen the prosperity and suffering of the world with Sanqing Tianzun.

See.

These two words lingered in Bai Zhifu's mind.

What kind of person can see through it? The person who wrote the essay has seen through the vicissitudes of the world, but he still has sincere hopes and pursues beauty.

Ay.

He let out a long sigh.

The writer is wise, elegant, and has a magnificent and fascinating rhetoric, which is quite ancient, and most importantly, he is clear and beautiful, without a trace of edges and corners. At the end of reading, there is a sharp sharpness that pierces people's hearts. If he is really like him, he must be a person who is gentle on the outside and firm and sharp on the inside.

Finally saw a good article that people couldn't help but admire, he took the case and praised it: "Good! ”

When the examiners heard this, they hurriedly got up and stepped forward.

Liu Shanchang, who had just grabbed the attack of Shangcai students, took the lead in taking the scroll, and the rest of the gentlemen also looked at the paper.

Bai Zhifu has a feeling of raising his eyebrows, such an article, even if it is taken to the south, it is also a top-notch good article! After reading such a twisted or contrived article, such a sudden appearance of such an article is really refreshing!

"Good, good, glorious and literate, righteous and insightful. Free and natural, literate and top-notch. ”

The gentleman on the side took the article, looked at it a few times, and his eyes lit up and he praised it repeatedly.

It's not that these gentlemen don't have knowledge, but they do have few talented people in the north, and they have just read so many marginal articles, and suddenly seeing this good article, it's like encountering a clear spring in the quagmire, how can it not be exciting?

Seeing that Bai Zhifu and the gentlemen were admiring, but the school officials in various counties were reluctant to take a closer look in order to avoid suspicion, how could they not be sad?

The scholars sat like pins and needles, and at this time, a clear voice came from outside the hall.

"Student Shen Kang of Luming Academy in Xiping County, after three consecutive exams, ask for the dignity of the Mansion."

At this time, what kind of excitement did he come to join in, and he could really interview at will after the first article was completed?

Bai Zhifu waved his hand and said, "Bring his article." After a pause, he said: "After the exam, I cleared the door and waited for the dragon gate to open." ”

This is to drive Shen Kang to the courtyard to punish the station until the end of the exam.
