Chapter 165: The thief shouts to catch the thief
The first of the two eight-strand questions on the title plate is: "Get off the train today on the same track, write the same text, and do the same thing." This is a sentence from "The Mean".
The second question is: "If the world is the same way, the government is not in the doctor; If there is a way in the world, people will not discuss it. This is a quote from the Analects.
Obviously, both of these topics are very simple. You must know that although the small questions of the Baguwen are all from the four books, there is no certain limit on the number of words and forms of the questions, so there are many ways to come up with the questions, and the scope is very wide.
The title can be a chapter or a complete paragraph, and a topic like this is simple. But if it is only a few words, for example, if it is a single four words, "give it up and hide it." This is much more difficult to analyze than the topic of a sentence.
The two questions in the county exam obviously directly stated one aspect of the problem, and it was naturally much easier to solve the questions.
But it is such a simple two small questions, and many candidates are stunned on the spot, Chen Guangyao, the county magistrate, just went to the examination booth outside, and some candidates sighed, "It's over, you can't solve the question, it seems that you still have to wait for the next year to take the exam again!" ”
"yes, what's that? I've never seen it before! ”
It is no wonder that many of the candidates have not been able to read the Four Books and Five Classics, let alone memorize them. They participated in the county exam, and naturally they just came by luck.
Although the voice of sighing and complaining was not loud, it also aroused the vigilance of the invigilators, and a dozen or so officers immediately shouted, "Silence, if there is any more noise, pull out and eat the board!" ”
The exam room then fell silent.
Since I entered the examination room, although I can't answer the questions, I can't leave until three hours later. At this time, there is nothing to do, so I just lie on the table and have a "spring sleep without awareness".
Zhou Zhi memorized the Four Books and Five Classics backwards, and recited a lot of eight-strand articles, and did these two small questions in the county exam twice. I have also read articles written by others, especially these two small articles in the three volumes of essays given to him by Che Lang a year ago. Those are all eight-strand essays written by some famous people in the south, and the ideas are very novel. At this time, Zhou Zhida can copy and copy.
But Zhou Zhi had his own ideas, and he decided to combine some of his own ideas to make these two articles. Of course, the wonderful sentences in the articles I have read can be used for reference, which will enrich and thoughtful your own articles.
First, he squinted his eyes slightly, and began to solve the problem and make a draft.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Yue Shuzhen, who was not far away, was already flying on the scratch paper, and it seemed that he had also seen these two questions before, or had already typed the draft at this time. Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh secretly, Yue Shuzhen really has some talent, it seems that he has not seen him for a long time, and he has improved a lot under the guidance of the famous teacher from the capital.
To Zhou Zhi's surprise, Yang Jinshan, who was on the right side of Yue Shuzhen, also began to write articles at this time. Zhou Zhi had already learned from Jiang Bin that Yang Jinshan had no ink on his chest, and he couldn't write an article completely, how could he be so agile?
It seems that Shibei should be impressed by each other for three days, there should be many masters in this examination room, and the masters are in the people!
But after a slight glance, Zhou Zhi smiled.
It turns out that Yang Jinshan is a quick thinker, this guy has already made a cheat sheet in advance. On the inside of his robe, it seems to be densely written with words, no need to ask, this guy is plagiarizing.
However, I have to admire Yang Jinshan's ability, obviously the article he copied is just right. It seems that this guy was fooled away during the search just now.
It's no wonder that his own uncle is Yang Tong of the county, so where would the official in charge of the search not look at Yang Tong's face? Although Chen Guangyao, the magistrate of the county, is very determined to deal with the trend of exam fraud, there will always be fish that slip through the net.
He just copied him, it was none of his business, and it was the most important thing to write two good articles by himself.
An hour later, Zhou Zhi completed the drafts of the two articles, and made many revisions, thinking that there were no omissions at all, and it was his highest level, so he opened his eyes and let out a long breath.
When I woke up in the morning, I didn't eat much, and I ate a lot of food, so I felt hungry at this time. I opened the small package on the wooden table, took a piece of Ge Lao cake, and slowly nibbled on it. After eating a piece of Ge Lao cake, he began to eat steamed buns again.
Yang Jinshan seemed to have finished writing an article at this time, and was looking around at this time. Needless to say, he didn't have a cheat sheet for another article, and he wanted to copy someone else's at this time. Suddenly, when he turned around and saw Zhou Zhizheng chewing something, he couldn't help but pout at Zhou Zhi, casting an extremely contemptuous and contemptuous gaze.
His meaning is obvious, you Zhou Zhi is a stupid pig, what occasion is this? You also eat. Will eating after the exam starve you to death? Oh! By the way, this guy is eighty percent here to fill up the numbers, he can't answer questions at all, and he can't write articles.
Thinking like this, Yang Jinshan couldn't help but raise his body slightly and looked at Zhou Zhi's table. Seeing that the exam papers on the table were really empty, Yang Jinshan couldn't help but feel even more proud.
At this time, Yue Shuzhen's two drafts have been completed, and he is carefully reviewing and revising them at this time. Yang Jinshan suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Uncle Yue, you wrote it fast enough, give me the second draft, and you can write another one." ”
Yue Shuzhen can be described as a wellspring of thoughts just now, although the second article is written in the self-thinking that there are some flaws, but I can also see it, I believe that after careful revision, it will become a good article. This is his own hard work, how can he give it to Yang Jinshan?
Besides, he came to the head of the case for this exam, and he can't play with it. Yue Shuzhen couldn't help but look dark, and said softly, "No, you can write it yourself!" ”
"Uncle Yue, how can you be so stingy, take it!" Yang Jinshan whispered, and then quickly grabbed the article, put it on his desk, and smiled sideways at Yue Shu.
Yue Shuzhen's seven orifices were smoking, and he wanted to snatch it back from Yang Jinshan's table, but Yang Jinshan had already used his body to protect the article, and Yue Shuzhen couldn't get it.
"What are you doing?" An errand officer walked over to Yue Shuzhen angrily. Yue Shuzhen screamed bitterly and hurriedly sat his body upright.
That Yang Jinshan was lacking in virtue enough, he sat up straight, glanced at Yue Shuzhen fiercely, and said to the officer, "This person wants to copy me, how can I let him copy the article I worked so hard to write?" Hum! ”
"Look at your thief eyebrows, you're not a real person! If you move again, I'll pull you out to play the board. The errand officer obviously knew Yang Jinshan, but he didn't recognize Yue Shuzhen, and shouted at Yue Shuzhen.
Yue Shuzhen's old face was flushed, but he had nothing to say, and he was in a terrible mood when he was made by Yang Jinshan's trick of calling a thief to catch a thief.
Alas! Only one more article to write.
Fortunately, he still remembered the article he had just written, and at this time he was writing again. Yang Jinshan on the side was very proud, and at this time, he copied one of Yue Shuzhen's original articles on the exam paper and replaced it with his pen style.
Half an hour later, Zhou Zhi wrote the first article, and then began to write the second article.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a commotion outside the examination room, "Gonggong Wu, please!" This is the examination room for the prefectural examination. "The person who spoke was Chen Guangyao, the magistrate.
As soon as Chen Guangyao's words fell, an obese eunuch, followed by a burly black-faced little eunuch, accompanied by Chen Guangyao and the county Cheng Yang Tong, entered the examination room.
