Chapter 56: County Examination (5)
As soon as the first essay question of the first county exam appeared in the examination room, Yan Mi, who was quite professional, immediately learned about the exam questions from the soldiers outside the examination room through the relationship that had been established in advance, and quickly rushed back to the Wenqu study.
Daddy Yan Zhun and several talents invited in advance have gathered in the private room of Wenqu Study, drinking tea, as soon as they saw Yan Mi coming, they hurriedly asked what was the first question in the county test?
As soon as the breathless Yan Mi said the topic, Daddy Yan Zhun and several showmen immediately raised their foreheads and thought deeply.
Yan Mi saw that Chu Xia was busy below, Xu Deming was in the county government again, and the others were busy with printing, and no one served these ministers, so he took the initiative to roll up his sleeves and study ink for these talents.
These talents were all given a pen fee by the Wenqu Study, and they wanted them to do a few more relevant essays on the new county test questions.
The talents are very positive, but the requirements are a bit high, and they want to make tea and snacks and the light is too dark, but fortunately, Yan Mi can deal with them one by one, and the service is quite thoughtful.
But the father who was supposed to be the master, Yan Zhun was also like a guest, and he generally wanted this and that like those showmen, and even better than other showmen.
Yan Mi has a good temper, otherwise if others had left their hands and quit.
However, it is precisely because Yan Mi, the bookkeeper, takes good care of the bookkeeper, that the Xiucai are quite serious in writing Shiwen, of course, they also know that their articles are to be compiled into a book for others to see, so they don't dare to be perfunctory, because it is their own people who lose it.
It is precisely because they have to write well that these talents are lamenting that the first question of the county exam this time is a bit difficult and difficult to play, but no one knows that this is an old question in Ningyuan County, Huguang.
Just when a group of talented ministers were concentrating on answering the first question in the Wenqu study, Yan Heng and other exams on the county examination site had already ushered in the second question.
"A gentleman is ill and unworthy of his name"
As soon as he heard this question from the Analects, Yan Heng was happy, thinking about how lazy this county lord was, and another question came up.
And this current question is still the first question of his own Zhongfu test, the key point is that this question also appeared in the late Ming Dynasty, and now the most famous is the one made by Chen Zilong, the hero of the anti-Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty.
Of course, in the history of the imperial examination for hundreds of years, it is common for the question of the eight strands to be repeated, but there is no such thing as Xiong Xiu in Zhixian County, which has specially made the question he has done.
It is impossible for Yan Heng to ask Xiong Xiu in Zhixian County at this time, since people want to be so good to himself and Xiao Yan Song, he can't help but accept it.
After silently thanking Xiong Xiu in Zhixian in his heart, Yan Heng continued to encourage each other with Xiao Yan Song, and then happily answered the questions.
Xiao Yan Song was really happy, he originally thought that the county exam was really difficult and difficult, but he didn't expect that he would just write down what he remembered, which made his mentality much better all of a sudden.
Dou Ding was most familiar with the Analects, so he was even more willing, and he was busy preparing to start using the pen as a spear to start wielding his literary talents.
Ouyang Hong also breathed a sigh of relief, the most current essay question he had done before was about the "Analects", although he had not done this topic, but he could also touch the class and be familiar with it.
In short, the difficulty of the second article is indeed smaller than the first question, and it can be seen that even if the question appears in the Zhixian Xiong embroidery, it is no longer as casual as the first question, and the difficulty is deliberately reduced.
There were indeed many more Confucian children who successfully completed the second article, and the Confucian children also increased their confidence at the end of the exam.
After all, everyone knows that the first admission of the county exam is to read the two articles together, and if the second answer is good, the first answer is not good, and there is hope for the first one.
The day's exam was finally over, Yan Heng packed up the four treasures of the study room and other things, and then waved to Xiao Yan Song with the exam basket: "Go home!" ”
"Okay!" Xiao Yan Song ran over excitedly, took his brother Yan Heng's hand, and left the examination room in turn as arranged by the officials.
As soon as he got out of the examination room, Ouyang Hong first asked Dou Ding about the first exam of the county examination.
Dou Ding also knew modesty, and waved the folding fan: "It's a little difficult, I racked my brains for my brother to barely make up an article, and the head of the county trial didn't dare to protect it, I just hope that the county is in the top ten." ”
Everyone can hear that although Dou Ding is a little modest, his confidence is still there, which means that although the first place is not necessarily me, I am at least in the top ten.
Ouyang Hong couldn't help but echo: "Since my cousin is so modest, that little brother naturally doesn't dare to take the head of the case, nor does he dare to rank in the top ten, I just hope that the alias will fall to Sun Shan." ”
Other relatives of the Ouyang family also echoed one after another, saying that they just hoped to be at the end of the list, and it was fortunate that they would be brushed down in the first game.
"Wait, if the first game is brushed down, in my opinion, it can only be these two people!"
At this time, Dou Ding suddenly pointed to Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song, who were walking in front.
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and obviously agreed with Dou Ding's statement, because they saw with their own eyes that the two brothers completely regarded the examination room as a place to play, and they didn't think much about how to answer questions in the past at the end of the day, so they also thought that Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song were the most unlikely to be in the first place.
……
Yan Heng didn't know that Dou Ding and the others in the back were suddenly laughing at him and Xiao Yan Song, and he and Xiao Yan Song were very excited at this time.
Xiao Yan Song was even more happy and said directly to Yan Heng: "Brother, I think we must hit this time, right?" ”
"Yes, if you don't hit this time, it's unreasonable!"
As soon as Yan Heng finished speaking, Dou Ding stopped Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song: "Listen, these two people are still saying that they will win!" ”
The crowd laughed as if they had heard a joke.
Yan Heng felt that these people were very boring, especially this Dou Ding was even more disgusting than shit, but this Dou Ding seemed to have a grudge against Yan Heng, and deliberately stopped Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song:
"Don't go, it's boring to go, if the younger brother is wrong to blame the two, the two can be discerning, after all, maybe the two are talented, there is a god in the pen, and the article can be completed overnight, of course, there is also a situation, that is, the two are afraid that the cheating pamphlet is really brought in, and they copied an article randomly, but I don't know what you have to do with the county officials who searched it, and they let them let you go."
"You talk nonsense! It's clear that you framed it, and you're still spewing blood here! ”
Xiao Yan Song retorted first, and then looked at Yan Heng aggrievedly.
"I'm spewing blood, don't let me know about the ugly things you did directly!" As soon as Dou Ding's words came out, Yan Heng kicked directly towards Dou Ding's lower abdomen.
Immediately afterwards, this Dou Ding was caught off guard and was ridden under Yan Heng, and then Yan Heng directly smashed Dou Ding in the face with one punch after another.
"Brother played well!"
"Brother played well!"
Xiao Yan Song jumped up directly and applauded Yan Heng desperately.
And Dou Ding was also confused, where did he think that this Yan Heng would beat him directly.
Not to mention Dou Ding, the other Confucian children were also dumbfounded.
Suddenly, the whole scene became unusually quiet, Ouyang Hong wanted to come over to help his cousin, but was directly glared back by Yan Heng with a vicious look.
Yan Heng's body is not exercising in vain these days, and these pampered children of the Ouyang family dare not approach.
Even Dou Ding, who had always been quite arrogant, whimpered and cried.
"Coward!" Yan Heng got up and clapped his hands, scolded this Dou Ding, and pointed at him: "Next time you dare to play yin, Lao Tzu will blow your eggs!" ”
This is Yan Heng, the freedom and independence he received since he was a child in his previous life and the struggle and temper of this body itself made him choose to deal with it with his fists.
Of course, Yan Heng never thought of beating this Dou Ding, after all, he was not a person who was too calculating, but this Dou Ding had already made him very angry when he and Xiao Yan Song threw a pamphlet in the exam basket before the exam and framed his brothers, and now this Dou Ding came up to humiliate him and Xiao Yan Song.
As an elder brother, Yan Heng wants to be an example for Xiao Yan Song as a tough man, and it is impossible not to beat Dou Ding.
As it turned out, the effect was not bad.
At least this Dou Ding and the others didn't dare to speak anymore, because they only found out that Yan Heng was stronger than them, and they were all afraid of Yan Heng's fist.
Xiao Yan Song looked at his brother with admiration, he never thought that solving the problem could be so simple.
"Remember, Xiao Song'er, some people don't have to reason with them, it's best to use your fists", Yan Heng pulled Xiao Yan Song and said as he walked, but at this time, he happened to see Ouyang Xue standing in front of him, cold as ice: "Do you want to run away when you hit someone?" ”
