There is no free life, and it passes quite quickly!

Tomorrow is the government test, Xia Yuanding decided not to read the book, so that his brain would be cleared. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

I heard that it was Xu Zhifu who presided over the government test, so it is not difficult to inquire. But that's not all, after all, there is no expert around them, so this time they have to enrich their knowledge more so as not to encounter blind spots during the exam.

The content of the exam is not much different from the county exam, or those things, the difference may be that the difficulty will be deepened.

Uncle cheered them in advance and said: "Yuan Jie, Yuan Ding, you are going to take the government exam tomorrow, try to relax and go to the exam, it doesn't matter, you look at Uncle I, it took several exams to pass, and candidates who are much older than you have never had it, not to mention that you are so young, we have time!" ”

Although Xia Shouren's words are good, but it will cost a lot more to waste a year, and they are not wealthy, so they still have to try their best to get by.

Xia Yuanding said: "Uncle, don't worry, we won't embarrass the family!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xia Shouren was very satisfied, it seems that his words are still very effective, if the two nephews have passed the government examination, then his credit is really not small, no, I can't think, I can't think, I think of bringing back two nephews who have passed the government examination when I go back, I am afraid that I will wake up from a dream.

Went to bed early, on the day of the house test, in the early hours of the morning, it was still dark outside, and Xia Yuanding woke up at this time.

"Uncle!"

"Yuan Ding is awake, Yuan Jie is also awake, hurry up, eat, don't delay the exam!"

Seeing the breakfast prepared by the uncle, Xia Yuanding felt that the uncle actually has a cute side, and his understanding of a person can never stay one-sided, everyone has good and bad.

After going out, looking at the only sparkling lights on the road, they are probably asleep, and they are going to chase their dreams in a smeared way!

When Xia Yuanding gradually integrated into this society, the more he could understand the constraints and help of class to people, maybe he could also take up his head and fiddle with the crops like his father Xia Shouzhi, but the beautiful home was too fragile in this era, and wars, natural disasters, and the destruction of various forces sounded the alarm for him.

If you want to be truly prosperous, you must get rid of the shackles of the poor family, and only the noble family can prosper for a long time, and what they look at depends on family education, family rules, and family collections. The noble family with a deep heritage must have a rich collection of books at home, which is the most valuable wealth.

The two Xia Yuanding brothers followed the uncle to the outside of the examination room of the government examination, and the situation was different from the county examination at this time.

There are a large number of people taking the prefectural examination, and in general, not everyone takes the exam together, but a county or several counties take the exam together, and the test papers will be different.

This Xia Yuanding doesn't care, because no matter whether it is the test paper, the difficulty is generally the same, otherwise the person who produces the paper will suffer.

"Go, uncle, wait for your good news!"

Before entering the examination booth, the usual procedures still have to be followed, which is generally no different from the county examination, such as body searches, roll calls, etc.

The prefect of the main examination is not as young as the prefect of the county exam, his beard is a little gray, and he should not be young.

After receiving the test paper and returning to his seat, Xia Yuanding was not in a hurry, anyway, there was plenty of time, and he tried his best to adjust his best state.

The difference between the prefectural examination and the county examination is that the test papers of this examination need to be named, and this alone can be seen that the prefectural examination has begun to pay attention to preventing favoritism and fraud.

What many people may not have thought of is why in addition to the palace examination, the rest of the examinations, whether it is the initial county examination, or the later township examination and the meeting examination, are not only one test. Although it increases the workload, it may be a good thing for candidates, and more importantly, it can effectively prevent someone from taking the test.

The first question is: "A gentleman does everything!" ”

Seeing such a topic, Xia Yuanding didn't think there was anything strange about this question at all, what a normal question, but the simpler the question, the more difficult it was to write and wonderful.

How to make every effort to achieve the state of perfection is the meaning of the questioner, and it is also the original intention of the question.

It can also be understood in this way, people with noble moral character are pursuing perfection all the time and everywhere, and only those who reflect on themselves at any time, know how to reform themselves, and pay attention to hard training can become a gentleman. Be an honest moral practitioner, do not deceive, do not be peaceful, and finally achieve "a thousand rivers and a thousand moons, thousands of miles of cloudless and thousands of miles".

It is easy to understand the meaning of a sentence, but the difficult thing is to perceive it and practice it, no one is perfect, everyone will make mistakes, morality is the greatest learning in a person's life.

After thinking clearly, Xia Yuanding knew how to write, the brush was stained with ink, and the pen was like a god, and he wrote it without pause, basically the whole article was done in one go.

Looking at the ink that has not yet dried, Xia Yuanding is quite satisfied, the whole article is straightforward, the article is a little less sophisticated but more vibrant.

Let's look at the second question again: "The gentleman is far away from cooking!" ”

Why are both questions related to gentlemen, and this second question, if it weren't for Xia Yuanding's profound skills, it would be really easy to be confused.

Xia Yuanding remembered that in another world, this sentence is often distorted, it does not mean that the sentence should be far away from the kitchen, saying this sentence cannot be an excuse for you to be lazy and not working, otherwise the ancestor will come out to talk to you.

Seeing its life, I can't bear to see its death, I can't bear to hear its voice, I can't bear to eat its flesh. If a person has compassion, can such behavior be called a gentleman?

From this mentality of not being able to bear to kill, Xia Yuanding had to analyze it, and then he could write an article. But he is not afraid, because he has already been trained, and there are already hills and valleys in his chest, and it is not a problem to win this problem.

Some people may think that this kind of kindness that can't bear to kill is a kind of hypocrisy, because you can't bear to kill, but you can sit down and eat meat with peace of mind, which is probably not something that modern people can understand.

The philosophy of Confucianism is a philosophy of inferiority, with distinction between respect and inferiority, superiority and inferiority, and distance and proximity. In modern times, there is often a question of girlfriend and mother-in-law falling into the water, asking who you want to save first, and the Confucian view believes that when relatives and passers-by fall into the water at the same time, they should save their relatives first, and then go to save passers-by. The gentleman cooks far away to preserve his compassion.

――――――――

Unconsciously, most of the time has passed, and when all the questions are answered, Xia Yuanding begins to copy the answers seriously, and when everything is done, he is ready to hand in the papers.

Wait, wait, knowing that many candidates have handed in their papers, Xia Yuanding got up and left. For him to take the government exam at such a young age, it is always inevitable to be noticed by others, and Xia Yuanding himself doesn't know whether it is a benefit or a disadvantage.

As far as he knows, some people may prefer to promote young students, and some people are unwilling to pull out seedlings for some reason, for example, there is a person named Zhang Juzhong who started a few years late for this reason, but no one is difficult with him compared to the government examination stage.

Out of the examination room, Xia Yuanding saw that the uncle had been waiting outside, and began to walk like an uncle.

"Why hasn't Yuan Jie come out yet?" Xia Shouren asked.

"It should be coming out right away!"

"The questions shouldn't be difficult this time, right?"

"Fortunately, they all answered more easily!" Xia Yuanding said with a smile.

"That's good, our Xia family will rely on you in the future, Uncle doesn't seem to be able to do it!" Xia Shouren said with some emotion.

Hearing this, Xia Yuanding couldn't laugh for a while, it seems that there are still more disappointed people on the road of the imperial examination.

When Xia Yuanzhuo came, before he could ask, he ran over crying and said, "Uncle! ”

Xia Shouren hurriedly pulled Xia Yuanjie and asked, "Yuanjie, don't worry, tell the uncle, but you won't meet it, tell the uncle!" ”

Xia Yuanjie had tears in his eyes, sobbing and said, "Uncle, I have encountered a stinky number!" ”

"Stink!" Xia Shouren and Xia Yuanjie popped up this word in their minds at the same time, Xia Yuanjie was okay, but Xia Shouren was unforgettable about this word.

In the examination room, the sanitary conditions are simple, and at the back of the laneway of the house, a dung bucket will be placed for candidates to urinate and defecate. If under the high temperature, the smell is unpleasant, and mosquitoes and flies are flying, not to mention the exam at this time, even the smelly candidates can't stand it.

It is now more than the fourth month of the lunar calendar, and although it is not as hot as midsummer, the temperature is gradually rising.

Thinking of this, Xia Shouren felt a little sympathetic to this nephew, but he didn't expect to encounter the same experience as he encountered back then.

The number house near the dung bucket is called "stinky number", and the number house near the cooking place is called "fire number", which is not popular with candidates.

But don't blame it, this one is to be grabbed, who is to blame if you didn't grab it!

patted Xia Yuanjie on the back, let's go back and talk about it, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to say more, I thought it was a happy thing, but I didn't expect the first exam to bury a haze in my heart.

Sure enough, scholars still have to exercise more, otherwise let alone the exam, this number grabbing can't grab others, how can you lose at the starting line before the exam starts, as it is, Xia Yuanding has strengthened his desire to strengthen his body.
