It turned out that this model text copied by Wu Jie was the examination article of Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty when he was admitted to Kangxi for four years.

Yuan Mei was a famous poet and essayist in the Qing Dynasty, an official to Jiangning Zhixian, one of the three great families of Kangxi, and a representative figure in the literary world.

As a liberal arts student, Wu Jie is very familiar with this person. The first time I knew Yuan Mei's name was to read the book "Suiyuan Cookbook" he wrote, as a senior foodie, if I hadn't even read this book, I couldn't raise my head when I met my colleagues.

When I first read this book, I was most impressed by the recipe for steaming pig's head. Different from ordinary people's practice, when making this dish, you must first boil a large pot of rice wine and steam the pig's head with rice wine to remove the fishy smell and filth in it.

As for the snacks in the recipe, such as dried tofu and fennel beans, they are valuable materials for studying the secular culture of Jiangnan in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

Later, Wu Jie successively read his ghost novels "Zi Bu Yu", "Suiyuan Painting" and his poetry collection, and after a long time, the impression is very vague now.

But I have to admit that this guy is the most interesting and knowledgeable among the cultural people of the Qing Dynasty.

Using Jinshike's article to deal with the county test is inevitably suspected of killing chickens with knives. Moreover, although there are many articles in the Wu Festival database, most of them are ordinary goods, but there are not many works by celebrities like this, and they are used less than once.

Moreover, Yuan Mei's writing is old and spicy, but now it is in the hands of a young man, Wu Jie, which is a little suspicious.

It's a pity that the paper has already been written, and according to the rules of the examination room, it can't be replaced.

Wu Jie could only bite the bullet and continue to copy.

Wu Jie moved his pen here, and the county magistrate who had been paying attention to him was in high spirits, slowly walked to Wu Jie's side, looked down, and couldn't help but be surprised: this word is too neatly written, and the standard is like engraving printing. Sure enough, he is a son of an official eunuch, and he has learned to write pavilions since he was a child, and he is determined to take the imperial examination.

The pavilion body strives to be elegant and solemn, which is a product of the examination, which is clean and tidy, so that people are not tired of looking at it. But he doesn't pursue a surname and charm, so naturally there is no calligraphy at all.

In the modern society where Wu Jie lived, calligraphers hated the pavilion style when they mentioned it, and felt that this thing was not calligraphy at all, but a kind of restraint on people's surnames.

Wu Jie also thought so, in fact, he usually liked to venture out of Xinjiang the most, followed by Song Huizong's thin gold body, and he also sneered at the pavilion body. But this is in the examination room of the Ming Dynasty, if he can write a neat pavilion style, there is a great degree of bonus points, he is not a fool, and naturally he will not play a surname on the exam paper.

No matter what era it is, if you want to get into the system, you have to do things according to the rules of the game within the system.

Sure enough, as soon as he saw Wu Jie's volume, Zhixian was happy, and his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help but glance at Wu Jie's article again, and he was slightly disappointed when he saw it.

Wu Jie happened to write the beginning part.

In fact, even if everyone like Yuan Mei writes in strict accordance with the eight-strand format, the opening is still well-behaved, old and thick, and there is nothing brilliant about it.

Disappointment is disappointment, in contrast, Wu Jie's article is well-formatted and old-fashioned, and I don't know how much better it is than other candidates.

A lot of what those children write, to be honest, is bullshit, and it would be dirty to look at it more. Fortunately, there is such a character as Wu Jie in this department, so that no one can be selected in this exam.

After two more glances, at this time, the magistrate sent out the unusual place.

Indeed, Wu Jie's article is a little dull, and the beginning is also bland, but as soon as he finished his speech, Zhixian felt as if he was restrained by this kind of integrated text, and he felt a faint feeling of breathlessness.

After careful consideration, if this article is replaced by oneself and written according to the general idea of Wu Jie, it can only be written like this. It's hard to change a single word.

Thinking of this, Zhixian was greatly surprised in his heart, and his eyes widened suddenly.

He was also a jinshi back then, and he was actually taught in Qipin Zhixian County, and his chest was also very good, and he was very proud of his articles and background. Looking at Wu Jie's text today, I have a strange thought in my heart: Could it be that this Wu Jie's ability to write articles is even better than that of Lord Ben.

He stopped his footsteps, his eyes fell on Wu Jie's scroll, and he refused to move away.

I have to say that the calligraphy is really slow to write. Yuan Mei's article is about 2,000 words, and if you use a computer, it will take you 20 minutes to get it done; Switch to a fountain pen for half an hour.

With a brush, it has to be meticulous pavilion body, and the speed is naturally extremely slow.

By the time the second share began, half an hour had passed.

During this period, there were candidates who constantly handed in their papers, and the papers were handed to the county magistrate by the officials.

Zhixian only glanced at it, and compared Wu Jie's papers, he only felt that the things written by these candidates were unbearable, so he handed them over to the officials casually, and he didn't bother to read the papers.

Time passed little by little, and by the time Wu Jie had written the middle two strands and entered the latter two strands, an hour had passed, and the sky outside had already brightened.

A round of red is high in the sky, and it is another sunny day.

Zhixian has been standing behind Wu Jie, only to feel that his legs are a little weak, and his chest is also stuffed by Wu Jie's outrageous old words.

Zhixian's heart was even more shocked: This young man is only sixteen or seventeen years old, how can he be like this, it makes no sense!

When Wu Jie wrote the last two strands, he probably felt that it was too annoying to write in the pavilion style, perhaps because the writing was smooth, and the handwriting involuntarily brought the charm of Huang Tingjian, and the speed was also fast, and the whole volume became bright red and smart, living like a bamboo leaf that had passed the rain, green and fragrant.

"Good!" The heart of Zhixian County, which was pressed dull by the neat words, suddenly relaxed, comfortable to the extreme, shouted hello, and couldn't help but read the line of text written by Wu Jiegang: "It must be welcomed and sent without void spring and autumn, provincial cultivation and savings, and no void years, the living soul has not moved, and the seventy-two countries, the heart of the hidden wind and fish...... Good article, good article! ”

More than 2,000 words have been written in the front, but it can be said that not only is it not brilliant, but it makes people feel depressed when they read it. But this sentence is neat and neat, and the rhetoric is beautiful, showing the timeless style of Yuan Mei and Yuan Zicai.

This can be called the finishing touch, as if someone has poked a hole in the window, there is a breeze through, reading it, when the armpit has two wings, fluttering like a fairy.

When Wu Jie heard this series of good words, he knew that the first hurdle on the road to the imperial examination had passed smoothly, there were no twists and turns, no waves, everything fell into place, and the lifting of weights was light.

The last sentence of more than 20 words of the conclusion is no longer important, and when Wu Jie finished writing the last word, the magistrate who was waiting next to him snatched the brush in his hand and circled the scroll a little bit.

"This ......" Wu Jie stood up in surprise.

The official next to him smiled: "The county has already admitted you on the spot." ”

In the county examination room, the examiner will generally mark the paper on the spot, and when he encounters a satisfactory paper, he will draw a mark on it with a pen and admit him on the spot, which is called a circle.

Everything was expected, but Wu Jie still had some surprises. Hurriedly shook it to the ground, and asked again to confirm this: "Thank you for the county honoring the blue eyes." I just don't know, is it still used for the last two exams?

"What kind of test, this official points you to be the head of this subject." The magistrate laughed.

This shock was low and low in the examination room, and the eyes of dozens of candidates fell on Wu Jie at the same time, full of envy.

"Thank you to the old parents, thank you to the old parents, I will retire when I am late."

"Wait, even if you get the first place in this subject, you don't have to take the exam again. However, anyway, it's still early, and this official has another question, so you can take a look. After seeing Wu Jie's words, the magistrate was a little reluctant to let him go.

It is a great pleasure in life to be able to see Wu Jie's words in this kind of lifeless and garbage-filled county examination room, and if there are still good words, it will be a good story.
