36 Autumn (6)
Zheng Guang doesn't recognize the bed, as long as he can sleep, this is also the foundation laid by the life of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how bad the situation, you have to race against time to sleep to recover your strength, so a pillow is the basic skill, this sleep, is to sleep until the next morning, the sun has not risen, but the sky is bright, Zheng Guang opened his eyes, sat up and lazy, and suddenly felt refreshed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The soldiers outside the door were changed, obviously didn't know what Zheng Guang did yesterday, but looked at the candidate who took the cup and toothbrush and toothbrush to wash with surprise, and felt that he was very bold, after washing, Zheng Guang went to the toilet and cleaned up the inventory, no one came out yesterday, so the smell of the toilet is not big, and it can be tolerated, Zheng Guang likes the aroma, it is difficult to endure this smell, so grandma specially found a special person to prepare a sachet for Zheng Guang that can cover his mouth and nose, and bring it when he goes to the toilet to ensure that the fragrance cannot be smelled.
When leaving the thatched house, Zheng Guang looked at the stinky number next to the thatched house, among the eight stinky numbers, there was actually one person inside, Zheng Guang was a little surprised, but he didn't care, he yawned and left, today is the exam, you have to cook some porridge and drink in the morning, and keep the best state to go to the exam.
After drinking the porridge, washing the pot, and by the way, scooping up the rice to be used for cooking at noon, Zheng Guang sat on the kang, spread the rolling paper on the number board, polished the ink for himself, and waited for the signal of the formal exam to appear in order to officially answer the questions; After watching the early morning appearances, the signal of the exam officially sounded at four o'clock in the morning, the exam began, the invigilators began to move, and Zheng Guang began to answer.
The three major questions, one is "born to know, on also", one is "the sign is long, long and broad, broad is wise, broad so the load is also, so the cover is also high, the long so the thing is also completed", and the other is "Tang Zhizhong, the virtuous have no way", all of which are complete topics.
The first answer can not be written on the paper to be handed in, the Gongyuan will provide candidates with enough manuscript paper for candidates to make a draft, yesterday Zheng Guang has prepared countless drafts, now only need to write down the articles on the manuscript paper, and then consider some modifications, and then transcribe on the paper on the paper.
The complete questions are easier in difficulty than the interception questions, because there is no need to guess the questions, as long as people who have read the Four Books and the Five Classics can know where these questions come from, what they are examining, how to answer, etc., but they require more answering points, more comprehensive meanings, and more time.
Zheng Guang sorted out his thoughts, and began to answer on the manuscript paper seriously, three questions and four book questions, the required number of words is only 1,500 words, it is not easy to get all the scores in this 1,500 words, it is important to let every word play its due role, this is the most basic requirement for doing eight strands.
Tang Shunzhi has developed a good habit for Zheng Guang that no matter what article he does, he must be careful and careful, even if it is manuscript paper, he must be neat and meticulous, so that he will not drop the chain on the most important occasions.
Each question is not difficult, but each question is more cumbersome, and there are many levels that need to be expressed, but Zheng Guang has already learned a lot about such a topic under Tang Shunzhi's special training, not to mention that it is completely thorough, and it can also be solved.
After the preliminary completion of the drafts of the three questions, Zheng Guang looked at the time, it was already noon, two hours of time, Zheng Guang completed the three drafts, the speed is not fast, since the original draft is already available, there is no tension, Zheng Guang cleaned up the table, ready to cook and eat.
The soldier on guard changed back to the soldier who guarded yesterday, and he should have been surprised when he saw Zheng Guang picking up and preparing to cook, but watching Zheng Guang write articles from morning to noon, two hours without stopping at all, this soldier began to believe that Zheng Guang was indeed a master, and only a master could eat normally in the Gongyuan under the condition of being very confident in himself, and among the dozen or so candidates he had seen, there were three or four who had not even eaten breakfast so far.
This is not possible, he himself knows best, if you are hungry, you can't do anything, you have to read and learn calligraphy, you must eat enough, if people don't eat, they really can't do anything, everything is based on a full meal.
And Zheng Guang knows this well, and is not in a hurry, he cooks rice with his hands and feet, adds bacon, stirs a few times, covers the pot, puts the whole pot at his feet, and it is impossible to contaminate the exam papers, and then takes out the manuscript paper written in the morning, and continues to figure out how to improve, and the officially transcribed roll paper has been placed in the exam bag and kept absolutely safely.
After writing a lot of improvements in the original manuscript, Zheng Guang stopped his pen, smelled the tempting aroma and brought up the small pot, extinguished the charcoal fire, and prepared to eat, and at this time, this aroma made most of the students finally realize their hunger, realize that now is the time to eat, if they don't eat, they really can't concentrate on continuing the exam.
Compared with Zheng Guang's unhurriedness, chewing slowly, some candidates are not flattering to eat, eating wolf, for fear of delaying a little time, Zheng Guang who is leisurely cooking and eating with malice and envy, some of them choked while eating, and hurriedly ran to the water tank to drink water, and it took a while to relieve themselves, paralyzed on the ground and gasped, do you say that such a person can pass the township test? Less than 2% of the admission rate!
After Zheng Guang finished eating the rice, he washed the pot, looked at the sun in full bloom, the temperature outside had risen significantly, and the imperial examination had been taken for many days in a row, and he tried not to sweat if he could, otherwise it would be very troublesome to take a bath, so he took off his coat, put on a breathable dress, and then leaned on the bed and took a nap.
The habit of napping is he and Tang Shunzhi developed in the process of learning, every afternoon, Tang Shunzhi likes to take a nap on the recliner for three quarters of an hour, the young Zheng Guang is active, can not sleep, but with the death of his parents one after another, his temperament slowly fell silent, and then I don't know when it started, I learned Tang Shunzhi, every afternoon to take a nap for three quarters of an hour, after waking up all afternoon is full of energy, if you don't sleep, it will be very uncomfortable.
Now, of course, it is not surprising, the more important the exam, the more you have to nourish your spirit, in the case of a trance, you will never get a good score, the students are not surprised by the candidate's amazing approach, as if the township test is just an exam for him, without any special significance, eat according to the meal, sleep according to the sleep, it is estimated that the Gongyuan house is regarded as his own study.
No one bothered with Zheng Guang, what the exam wanted was quiet, this silence would last for nine days, during the exam time, no noise around the Gongyuan, once found, immediately arrested and imprisoned, never spared, the students were highly nervous, highly concentrated, and could not accept any sound, fortunately Zheng Guang's snoring was very small, if it was very loud, it was estimated that it would cause public outrage.
Three quarters of an hour later, Zheng Guang woke up on time, drank a sip of cold water, wiped his face, and began to do the question energetically, the three questions and four books are of decisive significance, and it is necessary to be cautious and cautious, little by little to figure out and change, when the final draft is finalized, it has sunset, and take advantage of the last light to transcribe the three questions and four books on the paper in a standard pavilion style, and then carefully put the brush away, dry the ink on the paper, and carefully place it in the examination bag.
After looking at the fact that there was still a little time before it was dark, Zheng Guang took out the Five Classics questions and began to review the questions, Zheng Guang chose the scripture is "Shangshu", which is not small, but it is very connotative, and Zheng Guang carefully examined the questions of the Four and Five Classics, and found that they are all very familiar words, although he has not officially done these questions, but Tang Shunzhi explained in detail these places that he thought were the test points, but he didn't expect them to be all successful.
There is a test god to be his own teacher, he is so chic and confident.
While there is still some time, Zheng Guang opened the porridge to be eaten at night, after lighting the fire and boiling, Zheng Guang began to make drafts on the manuscript paper, although there is not much time to write, but write more, it is always good, the thinking is continuous, and the highly active brain can continue to fight after writing the four book questions, Zheng Guang will continue to fight, and when the sky is no longer suitable for continuing to write, Zheng Guang decided to stop and write again tomorrow, anyway, there are still two days, more than enough.
At this time, the porridge is also cooked, open the lid of the pot, the same aroma is overflowing, in the bacon bag, grandma and aunts prepared a lot of cured meat for Zheng Guang to prevent Zheng Guang from getting tired of eating, so Zheng Guang decided to start replacing the cured pork with sausage cooking rice tomorrow, so as not to get tired of eating it, it will be difficult to endure in the back, and there is a pack of noodles, you should eat it as soon as possible, if you eat it late, it may be bad.
As soon as he thought of this, Zheng Guang felt warm in his heart, thinking of Zheng Jiang who was waiting outside the Tribute Courtyard, and thinking of the grandmothers and aunts who were eagerly looking forward to returning to their hometown at home.
