Chapter 260: Quill

- When Chen Ke appeared in the examination room, despite the strict discipline, the lifters still broke out into cheers, but this triumphant hero, with a sallow face, stood there and swayed, making people worry that a gust of wind could blow him down.

'Can this still be examined?' The lifters looked at him worriedly.

Giving everyone a 'reassuring' look, Chen Ke sat on the seat and looked at the test paper in front of him, only then did he know that happiness was so simple.

But immediately he didn't feel happy, because his head was dizzy and swollen, and his brain was a mess. How can this state be answered? He had to look at the exam questions first...... The examination questions of the examination inherit the system of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, and the Jinshi Branch test has one poem, one Fu, and one Treatise, five strategies, ten posts of the Analects, and ten articles of Moyi for the Spring and Autumn Period or the Book of Rites. It is basically the same as the township test, and when the new policy was celebrated, the three-field system was changed, but because the new policy died, it was not implemented.

Putting aside the poetry and strategy, Chen Ke first answered the Moyi of the scriptures, which is equivalent to the objective questions of later generations, and there is no need to use any brains, just read the book according to the book. However, Chen Ke did not dare to answer these exam questions that were as simple as eating and drinking...... He really didn't worry about his mental state.

When it gets dark, he will finish answering the scriptures, and at this time, most of the other candidates have already completed most of them, and most of them only have a few strategies left for tomorrow to slowly consider.

As soon as the examiner shouted to stop, Chen Ke put down the bedding and fell asleep, and before others came out of the exam state, he was already snoring like thunder.

It was another sleepless night, and it wasn't until the invigilator rang the bell the next day that he woke up. When the candidates went out to wash their faces, the housemates smiled bitterly and said, "Your brother's snoring last night can tear the roof over." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Ke said apologetically: "When the exam is over, please eat." ”

And the people will speak. was scolded by the examiner, and quickly wiped his face hastily. I went back to the exam room and sat down.

After sitting down, Chen Ke felt his stomach rumbling, but he was a little happy, which at least showed that he had regained consciousness. He took out the dry food and chewed it while watching the answer he had answered yesterday. At first glance, I couldn't help but blush secretly, why are there so many mistakes?

Quickly revise it and copy it onto the paper.

After the objective questions are answered, there are only eight ways left for poetry and strategy. There is still more than a day to go. But the winter days are short, and candles cannot be lit at night, in fact, there are still five or six hours available. It's impossible to carve it finely, you can only pick up the pen. Just write it on the manuscript paper.

Fortunately, after sleeping twice in a row, his brain is more flexible, and he can finally cope with it. In addition to the rapid conception of articles, the remaining little energy is to pay attention to avoidance. As for the choice of words and sentences, it is completely instinctive, and there is no room for scrutiny.

He has never strongly identified with the phrase 'the deceased is like Sifu', and he only hates that there is not enough time. It seems that as soon as you look down and look up, it is already dark.

At this time, everyone else had almost finished answering the paper, and Chen Ke still had three strategies to write.

As a result, he didn't close his eyes for the whole night. Ponder these three strategies repeatedly in your heart. In the second half of the night, the three articles were already in his chest, but Chen Ke still didn't dare to close his eyes, for fear that he would forget it when he fell asleep.

After a night of broken thoughts, as soon as the sky was bright, he got up and hurriedly wrote down the article in his heart.

By the time all three essays are written, there will be more than an hour before the end of the exam. Chen Kecai breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at the article he had written...... Immediately blushed, what kind of thing is this, it's almost the same as vernacular. The last three strategies are not bad, after all, after a night of scrutiny, but the previous poems, as well as the first two strategies, are really miserable. …,

It was too late to revise, so he hurriedly picked up the brush and copied it on the volume, carrying some slightly revised words and sentences, but that's all, it couldn't change the rough and unruly nature of the article.

Good articles are all worked out with great effort, this is not false at all, maybe a great talent like Su Shi can write and make flowers, but Chen Ke can't do it anyway. What's more, he doesn't have time to think about it now, and answering the paper on time is the first thing.

Almost as soon as he put down his pen, the bell rang for the end of the exam. Chen Ke dried the papers, full of relief, as for what the exam was. Fuck it off!

handed in the papers, and when he came out of the examination room, he saw Gorou and Song Duanping at the door. One took his test case, and the other went to help him.

Chen Ke shook his head and squeezed out a smile: "It's nothing, I can still walk the aisle." ”

"That's good," Song Duanping sighed: "I heard the examiner say that you wrote out the entire "Complete Commentary on the Five Classics" silently, so you got to take the exam." How can you possibly finish it? ”

"I don't know how I finished it," Chen Ke shook his head, unwilling to mention that unbearable memory, he took out a handful of goose feathers from the bookcase and said: "But without this, I definitely wouldn't be able to write so fast." ”

This is a self-made quill pen from the people of Le Ye, which they brought from their hometown. Chen Ke has always felt that writing with a brush is too tiring and slow. In many cases, when you don't need to pay attention to calligraphy, writing with a brush is simply a waste of time. He even wanted to make his own fountain pen, but he really didn't know what material to use and how to make it.

When he saw that the people in the money number were all using quills to keep accounts, he naturally saw that he was happy and learned how to use this pen with them.

The quill pens of the Yiqi Le Ye people are all taken from the outermost five feathers of the left wing of the adult goose, because the angle of its growth is just in line with the habit of holding the pen of the right-handed writer, and it is the toughest. They degrease the goose feathers and then make a diagonal cut at the root to create a small tip. Then use a knife to make a slit in the middle of the nib, and drill the top of the slit into an eye. The font is bold and looks similar to calligraphy.

And because of the 'capillary' effect, the pen barrel can automatically absorb and store water, and after proficiency, you can write more than 100 words by dipping it in ink, which is much less troublesome than a brush. Yici Le Ye people also made a kind of copper pipe, put the quill pen into it, it can be fixed, so that the feeling of writing is very close to the fountain pen of later generations. Therefore, Chen Ke got started very quickly, and after mastering it, his writing speed increased several times, which was his weapon to complete impossible tasks.

And it also helped him immensely in his exams. Although the last thing that falls on the surface of the scroll must be neat and neat calligraphy, in fact, during the exam, a lot of time is written on scratch paper, and the writing time can be greatly reduced with a quill pen, otherwise Chen Kezhen will not be able to finish answering......

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Did Master Wang know that you had a quill before the exam?" Song Duanping also tried this kind of pen, but he was not used to it, he still liked to write with a brush. I didn't expect it to be a good tool for sketching.

"......" Chen Ke shook his head.

"Then isn't he trying to force you to death?" Song Duanping was shocked: "If you didn't have a quill pen, you might not have finished writing silently by now." ”

"That's what he thought." Chen Ke said quietly: "You want to keep me out of the examination room in this way." ”

"Why?" Gorou said with a sound of urns, and he had already exploded his lungs: "Why did he harm you?" ”

"I don't blame him, who let me take the exam first." Chen Ke smiled self-deprecatingly: "After all, this exam was disturbed by me, if you don't punish me and let me enter the exam easily, if the candidates are slightly unsmooth in the future, they will make trouble, where is the law of the imperial court?" He wants to use me to kill chickens and monkeys......" Speaking of this, Chen Ke's face also showed a faint anger and said: "It's just that this method is too shady!" ”…,

"yes." Song Duanping nodded heavily and said, "This person is really vicious." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the gate of Taixue with the flow of people. After walking not far, Chen Ke saw Li Zhong waving to him, and although he was not far from home, the guards still drove the carriage over.

Chen Ke's legs seemed to be filled with lead, and he wished that he had a means of transportation, so he hurriedly took three or two steps over, and took Li Zhong's arm and got into the car. Patronizing and relieving fatigue, he forgot about the injury on his back, leaned against the wall of the car, bared his teeth in pain, and gasped.

"My lord, it's not going to be easy these days, are you?" Li Zhong hurriedly checked his wound, but fortunately, there was no infection, but it was still blue.

"It's unbearable, Li Zhong." Chen Ke patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll entrust you with something." ”

"What do you say, just give orders?"

"That Qin Qi...... It's the one who framed me, I think I was taken away by the people of the Imperial City Division, do you know where I'm locked up now? ”

"If you are taken away by our people, then you should be locked up in the Imperial City Division." Li Zhong smiled and said, "Is the adult going to be him?" ”

"No, I promised to spare his life and leave him alone." Chen Ke shook his head and lowered his voice: "Can you ask the secret agent of the Imperial City Division to help me find someone?" ”

"Who?"

"A pounder named Chang Bai Ma." Chen Ke said softly: "Qin Qi told me that the smasher was the intermediary who contacted him online. ”

"Where does this man live, tell me the address, and I'll go find him?"

"He lives in Yuqian Lane, Guanxing Street, which is located in the lower three shops, but he must have run away or been killed." In the event of such a big case, it is impossible to stay at home like no one else. Chen Ke said hatefully: "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death, I have to find out the bastard who hurt me!" ”

"Okay, I'll ask them."

"Tell your brothers, if you find Chang Baima, I will give 1,000 guan, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, I will give 10,000 guan, if you can find ironclad evidence, I will give 50,000 guan!" Chen Ke said with a wolf-like ruthlessness, he would never allow anyone to be at large in the world after hurting himself like this! ――
