It's a big oolong!

Wu Jie suddenly found that he didn't know how to write the word "therefore" in the last sentence "Those who are so prosperous have never said their reasons".

"Therefore, therefore, is it next to the text or next to the owe word?" Wu Jie scratched his head, and a layer of sweat suddenly appeared on his forehead: "Say, this is troublesome, at the critical moment, why did you forget to write a pen?" ”

"Damn, this word is so simple, even if you ask a second-year elementary school student to ask, people can easily write it. Pity me for being a talented showman, bearing the name of the first genius in Sichuan, and I can't even determine what the radical of this word is. It's no wonder that I used too many computers a while ago, and I was used to smart ABC, so I couldn't write. Wu Jie smiled wryly.

This passage is also strange, and it is even strange that he travels back to modern society every day. After a long absence, modern life returned to his own life, Wu Jie suddenly felt that the real world was so beautiful, and in terms of entertainment activities alone, compared to the dull Ming Dynasty, I don't know how rich it was.

So, he wasn't idle, he was either eating and drinking, or watching karaoke, and then chatting with mm on the computer, fighting with people on the forum, and having fun.

As for the township exam, there is nothing to prepare for, the exam questions have already arrived, and Fan Wen has long been familiar with it. Before the big exam, and relax the tense nerves in a wandering manner.

When Wu Jie learned computer typing, he was mainly too lazy to memorize the roots, and he didn't know how to write five strokes, so he only used pinyin. These days, he has communicated many times on the Internet with Lao Jin and a few friends of the Sinology Forum about the matter of Baguwen, and often quarrels until midnight over a question.

The typing speed is getting faster and faster, and I can easily reach the level of 12 crosses per minute. However, because of this, every time he writes with a pen, he will always subconsciously replace the words to be written with pinyin letters.

"Fortunately, I copied the article on the draft first. If I had written it directly on the exam paper just now, I might have made a low-level mistake. Wu Jiexin screamed that it was dangerous, and he was secretly afraid.

In ancient times, the imperial examination papers were printed in advance with a red dark grid, a radish and a pit, and if you wrote a typo, or smeared, you would be deducted points.

The computer is used a lot, and the automatic writing pinyin is not to say, and it is easy to forget the pen.

Now, even a simple word "therefore" stumped him.

Wu Jie sat at the examination desk and thought for a long time, and then wrote these two words on the draft with different sides, and looked at it, how suspicious these two words were, and he couldn't determine which one was right.

This situation made him feel angry and bitter in his heart: he finally said that he was hunting geese, but today he was pecked blind by the geese.

The more anxious a person is, the more his brain is stuck.

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't decide whether I lived or died.

Wu Jie had no choice but to give up, so he lived, boiled some water, made some tea, and drank a few sips. But he suddenly laughed: "Isn't the reason for my hometown to be next to the anti-text, I'm really stunned." Modern people use computers a lot, which is not necessarily a good thing, and if you travel back to modern society in the future, you can't touch it anymore, and try to write it by hand with a pen. ”

After coming up with this word, Wu Jie was extremely relaxed, and it was already the beginning of Yin to listen to the more drum thing, so it was better to finish the first question quickly, and it was important to go to bed early.

The ink in the inkstone had dried and the nib of the pen had frozen.

When he got it done, he copied an article, and when it was time to finish, Wu Jie's heart moved again, and he suddenly remembered a very important joint.

If this joint is not handled well, I am afraid that I will not be able to get any good results.

"I only cared about figuring out Bao Yingxia's taste, but I forgot about the master. You must know that my paper cannot be handed over directly to the examiner, but I have to let the master of the house look at it first, and the master of the house takes a fancy to it, so I choose to send it to Mr. Bao to determine the ranking. Therefore, instead of figuring out Bao Yingxia, it is better to think more about what kind of writing the master likes this day. ”

"I naturally don't know what articles Master Fang likes, and until now, he is still a mystery about his surname. However, this article is a classic of eight-strand literature, as long as the format is okay or something, and the house master is not blind, he will not fail to see the benefits. That's right, format, form...... I forgot about it and almost got into big trouble. ”

Wu Jie was excited, and he didn't copy the manuscript anymore, but picked up the pen and wrote on the draft again, adding some things to the bundle part.

The content added here is all based on my own true skills, and there is nowhere to copy it. Fortunately, he studied in the Lu family a while ago, and Dai Shisheng is a Master again, and it is not difficult for him to write articles of more than 100 words, although he is still much worse than the original author, but he is also a little decent.

It turns out that this involves some subtle differences in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The content and form of the eight strands of literature in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are basically the same, but there are many differences in the examination room.

First of all, there is no limit to the number of words in the articles of the Ming Dynasty, you can write as many as you want, as long as the exam papers are enough. The Qing Dynasty was different, starting from the second year of Shunzhi, that is, the number of words in the eight-strand text was stipulated, and each article should not exceed 505 crosses. Of course, this is for the needs of the exam, because the exam at that time was different from the modern college entrance examination time, and the Chinese language was only two hours.

At that time, the test show entered the venue before dawn and came out after dark. There are three examinations for lifting people and jinshi, each of which enters on the first day and comes out on the third day. The time is long, there is no limit to the number of words, and as long as you have time to write thousands of words long, the examiner will not be able to read it. Therefore, there are regulations on the number of words, the minimum minimum limit, and the maximum upper limit.

In the twentieth year of Kangxi, because of the consideration of five hundred and five crosses, it seemed too little, and the author's words were not exhausted, so he ended hastily, affecting the content of the article, because it increased to six hundred and five crosses. In the 43rd year of Qianlong, it was clearly stipulated that the number of characters in the four books of the township examination and the general examination was 700.

The second is that there is a big knot in the Ming Dynasty, that is, after the end of the article, the author summarizes the play of the surname, and there are more words and sentences, which can express the author's opinions, and there is no "big knot" in the eight shares of the Qing Dynasty.

This second item is especially important, if the conclusion is well written, it is easy to fall into the will of the master and the grandmaster.

However, there is no big conclusion in the Qing Dynasty text, so Wu Jie's article is strictly speaking, incomplete. If you want to take the test, you have to add a tail.

As for other differences, such as the avoidance in the article, whether the truncation questions can be made, the order of the "Four Books" or something, it doesn't matter.

When he took the hospital examination in Chengdu, Wu Jie didn't write this big summary. However, at that time, it was Bao Yingxia who directly reviewed the file, and she didn't care much about this kind of superficial article. Moreover, the college examination is not so formal compared to the township examination, and the examiner can determine the fame of an examination with one sentence.

The township examination room is different, first of all, the examiner of each room has to be primary, and then the main examiner and deputy chief examiner are finally selected. In the end, there is a special audit and supervision officer to verify, three links, any link problems, your fame will be lost.

The eight-strand text is a superficial article, and the format requirements are extremely strict, and the judgment must not be sloppy.

This big settlement is the first time that Wu Jie relied on real skills to write an essay in the formal examination room, and the content of dozens of words was carefully scrutinized, and hundreds of words were written in the draft alone, and finally the final draft was finally determined, which was transcribed to the exam paper.

When everything was done, I looked up and saw that it was dawn.

Wu Jie smiled bitterly in his heart and shook his head: "I thought that there were exam questions in hand, and this township test should be a formality, but this first question is so difficult, and the next four questions are still busy." However, it's better to finish the paper early and then sit in the exam room in a daze. ”

I slept all day and didn't wake up until six o'clock in the afternoon, when it was already dark.

The title of the second question is "The Dung of a Hundred Mu", which comes from "Mencius" "The ploughman's harvest is a husband and a hundred acres." 100 acres of dung, on the farmer to eat nine people. It is also a popular topic, it seems that Bao Yingxia does not want to embarrass the candidates.

Wu Jie prepared a model essay for this question early, still made a draft, wrote a big knot by himself, checked it for a long time, and found that there were no problems, and then copied it.

The third question is a sentence in the "Book of Books", which is simpler, Wu Jie dreamed back to modern society again, and found out the knot of the last two topics, and memorized it.

Fortunately, as soon as these three questions were completed, he finally corrected the problem of forgetting to write with a pen, and there was no problem that he automatically replaced it with Hanyu Pinyin as soon as he wrote.

The only time I was depressed was because I stayed up all night on the first night and then slept all day, and the jet lag went wrong. The next two days were spent writing papers at night and sleeping during the day.

He didn't know what it was like during the day in the examination room.

I only know that the autumn rain has not stopped, and the weather has been cold for three days, sitting in the examination room, the blood is not smooth, and there is a feeling of stiffness.

The dead fat man on the opposite side was very uncomfortable, and after arriving at the paper, he couldn't help sighing and coughing badly.

I don't know if my face is nervous or sick, and it's very strangely red.

…… The light of the oil lamp flickered and went out, but the oil had been burned dry.

It was pitch black in the test house, with no fingers out of sight, only the sound of rain rustling in his ears, and occasionally a few suppressed coughs.

It was the dawn of the last day.

The title of the last question is "All Yayan Ye Gong", which is a so-called "interception question" that modern people find very strange.

What does that mean? It is to connect the last sentence or words of the book in the previous chapter with the first few words or the first sentence of the next chapter of the book, or even if it is unwritten, it can still be used as a topic to write the eight-strand text.

For example, the first half of the question, "All Yayan", comes from the fifteenth chapter of the Analects and the Narrative. The original chapter Shuyun: "The elegant words, poems, books, and deacons of the sub-institute are all elegant words." ”

The word "Ye Gong" in the second half of the sentence comes from the sixteenth chapter of the same article. Yuan Zhang Shuyun: "Ye Gong asked Confucius Yu Zilu, Zilu was wrong, Zi said: Female Xi does not say; He is also a person, angry and forgets to eat, happy to forget worries, and does not know that the old man will come to Yun'er. ”

The chapter of "Shu Er" is a record of Confucius's words of honesty and self-teaching, and the actual appearance and action of the article, each chapter is very famous, and these two chapters are all famous texts in the "Analects", which are often quoted by people. And this question only comes out of the last four words of the previous chapter and the first two words of the second chapter, which are connected together, "All Yayan and Ye Gong", from the surface logic, it is simply incomprehensible.

This topic is strange, it is estimated that Bao Yingxia felt that the first three questions were really simple, so she deliberately made such a play.

However, it is not so easy for this kind of question to be difficult for the answering masters in the examination room, but at least you can brush off a group of candidates who are not knowledgeable enough and not active enough in thinking.

Wu Jie thought about Fan Wen early, and wrote the final part of the conclusion.

I was about to transcribe it, but the light went out.

Just wait to lie down and sleep, wait until the afternoon is in the transcription, and then turn in the papers.

The township test is finally coming to an end.

Lying on the kang, the words and sentences of the model text kept coming to my heart: "The Ming holy precepts are constant, and Doctor Chu can remember them."

Fu Ya said everything, then in addition to poetry, books and ceremonies, the master did not say anything. How can he be a scholar?

…… So why ask Confucius Yu Zilu? Zilu is placed in the non-answer: the words of the people are lost, but there are examples of words in the south, and the elegant words of my master and son are not enough to speak.

……”

The original author of this article is no longer examinable, but it is well written. Moreover, this kind of strange question, as long as it can be answered, it is considered to be passed.

"In the end, how many places can I win, there should be no problem in the middle lift, the key is the ranking." Wu Jie fell asleep dimly.

The jet lag did not turn upside down, this sleep was shallow, but I was so cold that I woke up, and when I looked up, the rain was still there, and the sky was gloomy.

I don't know what time it is, but the candidates in the opposite exam room have stopped writing.

That Lu Xuan and Lin Tingchen even lit a fire, sitting leisurely in the examination booth and sipping tea, looking complacent, obviously doing well in the exam.

Even the fat dead man finished his rolls, and sat down on a stool with a wet cotton towel on his forehead, presumably feverish. I don't know how he did, but looking at his complexion, he was extremely gray, and he probably messed up.

"I slept all day." Wu Jie was taken aback and hurriedly took up the pen to transcribe it. If you delay it any longer, it will be bad as soon as it gets dark. The lamp oil has burned out, and it is difficult to hand in a blank roll.

Fortunately, I finally finished copying the volume before dark, but my eyes were already swollen.

The houses were lit up, and they looked incomparably splendid in the rain.

After another while, a cannon rang out, and finally it was time to rewind. A collector came and collected the scroll, and then another officer came and unlocked the door.

The scholars took the photos and signed in line, went to the gate of the tribute courtyard in turn, handed over the signatures to the door officials, and went home.

"Finally finished the exam, three sessions and nine days, plus two nights of rest and roll call admission when the exam room opened, almost half a month. This imperial examination is too bad, and there is no one with a surname. Wu Jie touched his fluffy upper lip and let out a long breath of hot air.

Reaching out again to support Lu Chang, who was stumbling and struggling to walk, he found that the four fat men did not bring the test basket: "Where are your things?" ”

"No, no strength." The dead fat man was as hot as a carbon fire, and he couldn't stop panting when he spoke, and his whole body trembled.
