Cao Yun said with a smile: "The exam of this county school, for Brother Liu, is naturally to do well in the exam, get the endowment of the upper house and the recommendation of the scientific examination in the future; And for the younger brother, it is natural to hope that the test will be better, and pay less silk money, which is actually nothing. ”

Cao Yun explained to Liu Xu, and Liu Xu understood: It turns out that there are about 100 students in the county school today, which are divided into upper and lower students. Those students who have a little talent naturally enter the upper dormitory, and those who accept silk to enter the dormitory are mostly lower dormitory students. The number of places recommended by the county school for the state examination will only be given to the students, and the county school with good test scores is naturally recommended first, and if the itchy students with good test scores can also get endowments, similar to the scholarships of later generations. If the students do not do well in the exam every time, they need to pay silk fees to maintain their status as county students, otherwise they will be dismissed. Of course, if the upper student has a bad test score for several consecutive times, he will also be demoted to the lower student; If the lower student has a good score in several consecutive exams, he can also be promoted to the upper student. The method of the county's monthly exam is actually very simple, each time the senior comes up with a topic, the students make an article, and the seniors have their own comments with the teachers.

Liu Xu listened to Cao Yun's explanation, and also generally understood the examination matters of the county school. I can't help but be a little worried, how can I write any ancient Chinese, and my writing is too ugly, how can this exam be good? I don't know if I am going to school in the county or giving up my life? Thinking that he is also a county school that Wang Zongyuan entered, it is estimated that he is also a subordinate student who pays for silk money, and if he can't do it, he will answer it anyway, and if it's a big deal, he will pay some silk money!

Liu Xu thought that maybe he should go to Wang Zongyuan again to understand the situation, so he asked Cao Yun where Wang Zongyuan was?

Although Cao Yun has been a county student for a long time, the number of times he has come to the county school is really limited, and he doesn't know Wang Zongyuan at all, let alone where Wang Zongyuan is. However, Cao Yun said: "Now I'm afraid that the seniors and teachers are preparing for the exam papers in the Jixue Hall, and it is estimated that they will come out to test us in a while, and we will probably see them later." ”

Liu Xu said in his heart: I'll see you later, what else do I want to ask. Alas, anyway, now that the teachings are all gathered together, it is inconvenient for them to go to Wang Zongyuan to ask this and that, if there is an exam later, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, take one step at a time.

At the moment, Liu Xu had nothing to do, so he came to the door of the lecture hall with Cao Yun, chatted, and waited for the exam to begin.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lin Tinghua, the scholar of Yidu County School, and several teachers of the county school, each holding a stack of test papers, came to the door of the county school lecture hall. The county school lecture hall is also divided into two, and the cultural skills of the upper and lower students are different, so they are taught separately.

Lin Xuezheng cleared his throat and said to the itchy students scattered everywhere: "Go to your respective lecture halls and prepare for today's exam." ”

Groups of chatting county students everywhere rushed to their respective lecture halls.

Liu Xu suddenly found that he didn't know that he was going to the lecture hall, and couldn't help but look at Wang Zongyuan for help. Wang Zongyuan's lecture hall was slightly bowed. Liu Xu understood, walked to the lecture hall of the upper shesheng, and said in his heart: I was still the identity of the upper shesheng, and Uncle Wang Shishu seemed to be quite reliable. I have this status as a student, and it is estimated that it is enough for me to squander it for a while, according to Cao Yun, I will be demoted to a student after three consecutive exams with poor results.

Liu Xu found a place to sit down when he entered the lecture hall, and when he saw that everyone had a pen and ink in front of him, he couldn't help but be embarrassed, why did he forget to bring pen and ink for the exam.

At this time, Lin Xuezheng and several teachings came in and handed out a stack of test papers, one for each person.

Liu Xu picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned, this so-called test paper turned out to be a piece of white rice paper, and there was not even a word on it.

Lin Xuezheng cleared his throat and said: "My great Song Dynasty literature and education, poetry and articles, and my generation of students and literati all need to be familiar with both. In today's exam, I don't test the scriptures and articles. Everyone has read a lot of history books, and the question of today's exam is to use history as the first word, and there is no limit to the word card and the content. Time, it's limited to one hour. ”

Liu Xu couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, it seemed a little strange, the imperial examination does not test poetry, and the itchy students of the county school are in the county school in order to read the articles of the sages, why do they suddenly have to take the poetry test? Liu Xu looked at the itching around him, and it seemed that everyone was not surprised. The literary style of the Great Song Dynasty was at its peak, and the way of poetry was also an important embodiment of the elegance of the literati. Although poetry is not examined in the imperial examination, every scholar can do some poetry to a greater or lesser extent, after all, this is an important ability for literati to communicate.

Liu Xu thought about it, could he have thought too much, and couldn't help but look up at Wang Zongyuan. Wang Zongyuan's eyes seemed to be full of hope and encouragement, and he gestured slightly to Liu Xu.

Liu Xu seemed to feel that this time the poetry test seemed to be related to Wang Zongyuan. Could it be that he wants to make himself a good word and win the favor of the seniors and teachers, so that he can develop better in the county school in the future? The more Liu Xu thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very likely. Liu Xu asked Cao Yun just now, and it is said that most of the exam questions from the seniors are based on a truth from the Four Books and Five Classics, expounding their own opinions and making articles. Although I occasionally take the poetry test, it won't be so coincidental, I will test the poetry in the first exam!

Thinking of Wang Zongyuan's eyes full of expectations and encouragement just now, Liu Xu smiled bitterly in his heart: It seems that this Uncle Wang Shi is really very attentive to himself, maybe he persuaded Xuezheng to test poetry in this exam. Maybe he thinks he is good at poetry and wants to help him become famous and lay a foundation for himself to win a recommended scientific examination place in the future. However, if he knew that he would just plagiarize a few good words that would be passed down in later generations, in fact, he didn't know anything about those ancient texts, and he would probably be depressed.

Although Liu Xu smiled bitterly in his heart, he still had to take the test anyway, it was easier for him to take the test for poetry than for him, after all, he still remembered a few good words for later generations.

Liu Xu looked at the itching around the lecture hall, most of them were contemplating and thinking, and a few of them were already writing. Liu Xu couldn't help but think about it, when it comes to composing poems, he remembers a lot of poems based on historical characters and events. But Liu Xu really can't think of a few songs.

Liu Xu thought about it for a long time, and suddenly thought of Su Shi's song "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia", which is a nostalgic and heroic masterpiece. But I've never been to Chibi, just reading history, isn't it a bit abrupt to write such a majestic and immersive poem? Let's talk about Su Shi's words, Liu Xu memorized a total of three songs, the song "Water Tune Song Head" and "Dingfeng Wave" have been thrown out by themselves, this song "Nian Nujiao", I still want to keep the bottom of the pressure box in case of emergency, but I don't want to throw it out casually.

Liu Xu continued to search for the few words he remembered in his mind, and suddenly remembered Yang Shen's song "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" as if he was blessed, and this word seemed to be similar to Su Shi's words. This "Linjiang Immortal", Luo Guanzhong used it as the opening sentence of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and later every time he filmed "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he also used this word as the theme song, and Liu Xu recited it backwards.

Liu Xu made up his mind to throw this word today, let's mix up today's exam first, and then talk about it, as for other things, let's take a step at a time.

Liu Xu thought about the lyrics and wanted to write them on the test paper, but he was very embarrassed to find that he came to the exam today and didn't think about bringing pen and ink at all.

Liu Xu couldn't help but look up at Wang Zongyuan.
