Outside, there were constant voices.

It's the parents of those who are taking the exam.

"Have you heard, the son of the deceased Lord Wu's family was named on the spot by the county lord."

"Ah, no, isn't he a fool?"

"You know, although people look stupid, they may not be extremely good at reading. I've heard people say that this person who is a good reader is probably not so smart in other places. ”

"I understand what you mean, do you mean that reading is confused."

"I didn't say that, it's like a blind man, although he can't see, but his ears are more sensitive than ordinary people. It can be seen that once this person is strong, other places will be weaker. God is fair, and the same is probably true of Grand Prince Wu. ”

"It's worthy of being after Lord Wu, and the number one should be the best."

……

The Xinjin County of the Ming Dynasty was not big, not to mention such a big thing as a scientific expedition, even if the Zhang family stepped on a rat to death, and the daughter-in-law of the Li family and her mother-in-law had a mouth, this kind of trivial matter could spread all over the streets and alleys in a moment. The news that the stupid son of the late Lord Wu's family had won the first place in the Jinjin County test case spread at an alarming speed as if he had grown wings.

It's just that Wu Jie in the examination room doesn't know this, but the discussion outside the yamen still keeps coming in, even if it's not big, it's still a little panicked.

Wu Jie thought that he could go home after handing in the papers, but he didn't expect the magistrate to let him go, saying that he wanted to add another question. Some additional questions, like those of later generations, do not count towards the test score.

When the book is used, there is little hatred, if the county has a tricky and weird topic, but there is no way to make it, isn't it exposed?

During this time, Wu Jie also consciously read some eight-strand fan texts, thinking that if he encountered this situation in front of him, he would not be blind on the spot.

Now he can only pray secretly in his heart, hoping that the topic from Zhixian happens to be what he has seen. Of course, such a possibility is very small, even if you encounter a topic you have read, but you have not memorized it in advance, and you can barely do it, whether it is a word or a dictionary, it is very easy to make jokes.

Of course, on the surface, he still had a calm face, and said stubbornly: "The county has orders, dare not obey them." ”

"Okay." The magistrate ordered someone to bring another exam paper, picked up a pen and wrote the question on it, and asked the official to hand it to Wu Jie.

At this time, it was the peak period for candidates to hand in their papers, and the magistrate was busy reading the papers, and he didn't stand behind Wu Jie to stare at it, which made Wu Dagongzi secretly relieved.

Wu Jie took the volume, took a deep breath, and his heart was horizontal, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it was a disaster that could not be avoided, no matter what he did, if he couldn't do it, he couldn't do it, anyway, in this county exam, the county magistrate had already promised me the first name in front of everyone. No matter how stinky this article is, it is impossible for the magistrate to brush my name down and slap himself in the face.

But when he looked at the title of the paper, he suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Unlike the eight-strand essay that was expected at first, the topic of the county this time was to write a trial poem.

Poetry as a subject for the imperial examination began in the Tang Dynasty in real history, usually five or seven words, and was abolished in the Song Dynasty, and this examination format was reinstated during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty.

The history of this time and space is completely different, without the Tang Dynasty, Sui poetry naturally does not have the brilliant achievements of Tang poetry. But poetry as an examination topic was not retained until the flourishing of science in the Davidic Dynasty, which was replaced by the Eight Strands of Shiwen and became a dispensable supplement.

The so-called trial post poem, said to be writing poetry, is actually a variant of the eight-strand text, the same has the same problem-breaking, bearing, talking, middle stock, back stock, bundle stock, but it is just a verse.

The title is also mostly a paragraph from the poetry of the predecessors, or an allusion and an idiom.

The title of Zhixian today is taken from Emperor Yang Guang of Sui's "Lost Floor Poems", "The palace wood is thick and the swallows fly, and the rise and fall have become sad since ancient times." He said that the maze building is more beautiful, and the palace is full of love and red glow", and the sentence "Gongmu Yin is thick and swallows fly".

Yang Guang is a very talented person, and his poems are written very well, but compared with the Tang and Song dynasties, he is also a second-rate person. Today, in the era of the Tang and Song dynasties, this person is a peak in culture.

There is really no hero at the time, but it makes the shaft famous.

After reading this poem, Wu Jie secretly screamed that he was lucky, but he knew the format and rhyme of this poem and the trial poem, and he would not be embarrassed to hand over the blank paper in court.

Yang Guang's poems were read by him when he was in college, and he still remembers. When he was a rebellious young man, when the teacher talked about ancient poems in five words and seven words in class, he would be called Li Du, Wu Jie was disdainful, and he wanted to study Yang Guang and Yu Xuanji, second-rate poets who many people had never heard of, in order to show his maverick.

Now that it is being used, Wu Jie is proud of his character, and at the same time, he can't help but sigh that it is always good to learn more knowledge without more skills.

As for the trial poems, some time ago, since he aspired to enter the imperial examination, he has also read relevant materials. It's just that the trial post poem is just a little addition to the field, if you want to raise people in the Jinshi, the eight strands of Shiwen are serious, and I haven't put much effort into research.

Knowing is knowing, but if you really want to make a poem on the spot, it is not easy.

Picking up the pen, he wrote a line on the draft, and erased it very dissatisfied. It's really not my strong point to be a poet, what is a poet, I don't have to eat the fireworks of the world, and I am turbid, but I don't have this spiritual surname.

After thinking about it, Wu Jie didn't rush to think about the content, but honestly made a table of the flat and eight-strand structures, ready to wait for the next crossword puzzle.

There are strict rules on the format of the test poem, and the requirements are also very strict, as long as one is wrong, the whole question will not get a single point.

So, the form is more important than the content, and it doesn't matter whether the verse is good or bad.

Different from the five words and eight rhymes of the township test and the Jinshi test poems, the boy tried five words and six rhymes.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty wrote this poem about the scenery of the maze building, lamenting the times, it is not difficult to make poems according to the original intention of the poem, but it is very painful to do.

touched his chin, searched the dry intestines for a long time, and finally held back ten words, which was a problem.

Then there is the topic, this sentence made Wu Jie's head swell, and he smeared it on the draft for a long time before it was completed.

Time passed little by little, and seeing the sun slanting westward little by little, it was estimated that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. The candidates in the examination room have almost gone, and those who have not handed in their papers have poured hot water from the kettle on the stove and cooked cold cakes for lunch.

Wu Jie's two drafts were already full of words, but his stomach did not feel hungry, he only felt that his mind was confused for a while, and his spirit was also a little depressed.

It seems that it is impossible to hold back any good sentences. Seeing that the time to release the cards was coming, Wu Jie decided to give up, copied the poems that had been prepared, and handed in the papers.

"Lord County, the student is done." Wu Jie suddenly felt a little ashamed in his heart, to be honest, this trial post poem is really worthy of the four-word comment of "smelly".

The ruler is short, the inch is long, and poetry is really talentless.

"It's a little slow." Zhixian took the scroll and glanced at it, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, go down and rest." ”

"That's not bad?" Wu Jie couldn't believe his ears.

The only thought immediately understood what was going on. Try to post such a thing, to put it bluntly, the test is the reader's mastery of this genre, which belongs to the category of applied literature, and you can get a high score if the format is right. It's not a literary competition, if you really want to show off your talent on the exam papers, I'm afraid you'll really have to be brushed down.

Wu Jie's method of writing questions is the real royal way.
