For candidates in the vast areas of the Ming Dynasty, the county exam is the best, basically able to write an essay, the words can reach the meaning, and there is no taboo, it is a qualified exam essay.

However, for the candidates in Songjiang Fuhuating and Shanghai counties, it is the saddest.

Because everyone is at the same level, the number of candidates is as high as two or three thousand, and the county examination practice is only seventy or eighty people, so why should you be selected?

If you really want to write a refreshing and amazing article, there are only a few such people in a hundred years. More candidates rely on luck, calligraphy, and reputation accumulated on a daily basis.

As written in "Anecdotes of Zuo Zhongyi", before Zuo Guangdou presided over the county examination, he met Shi Kefa, who had to work hard to read and write articles when he slept in the ancient temple. After reading his article and feeling his spirit, I took off my cloak and put it on him. When it came time to take the exam, "call the name to Shi Gongkefa", and give the case the first place.

It's so easy in the hospital exam, let alone the county exam? Many prodigies don't even need to take the county exam, and they can go directly to the government and hospital exams.

The county order walks around the people every day, and it is very clear which big families are. These families will also create opportunities for their children to visit the county honor, so that they can take care of them during the exam. In the case of similar level of articles, their scoring rate is naturally much higher than that of those candidates who don't even know where the dragon gate opens.

The two people sitting in the inn house at the moment, one is the head of the internal case, and the other is a frivolous student who is disliked by the county officials, and the future of the two is very different, precisely because Xu is the head of the case who has climbed all the way and earned this future for himself.

"Okay, I know you can actually read." Xu Yuanzuo gently patted Mr. Mei's back: "Look, you know that the second question is from "Confucianism". I've heard people complain in the exam room that many people haven't even read Confucianism. ”

Mr. Mei was comforted by Xu Yuanzuo like this, and finally his crying gradually became softer, and he sobbed: "What if you read it?" I don't even have a chance to play in the future. ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled indifferently: "Wait for Zheng Lao's parents to be promoted." The new magistrate will not know about this. I'm afraid many people don't know your name, right? ”

"Oh, yes, under the surname Mei, the name is successful, and the word Zhenzhi." Mei Chenggong was really healed a lot by Xu Yuanzuo, and raised her upper body to introduce herself.

Xu Yuanzuo secretly said in his heart: You deserve to carry it! Is the majestic name "Success" anyone can call it? The king of Yanping County is surnamed Zhu. Naturally, you can call it, and your surname Mei can also be called? Isn't it a lifetime of "no success"?

So, the most important thing to be a man is to know what your last name is!

"Under Xu Yuanzuo, there is no crown yet." Xu Yuanzuo arched his hand: "Brother Mei has no chance to win fame in the past three years, I don't know what to do?" Do you still rely on your wife and uncle's family to live? ”

Mei Chenggong's face darkened: "It just depends on whether you can find a museum and make a living." "If the next county lord doesn't remember this, he will give it a go, but he has to live before.

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head: "My Songjiang family recites every family, and if you want to teach social studies, you must at least be a county student." Not. The Mengshi below is a child, and he can only teach Mengtong in the countryside. ”

Mei Chenggong's face turned pale, and she said with a crying voice: "Then I really don't know what to do." ”

Xu Yuanzuo sighed: "Do you have a past Cheng Mo?" Show me, if you can really write, I'll help you find a decent errand. After all, there is a fate on the same field, and you can't see that you are stuck. ”

Mei Chenggong was kindled with hope and was about to get up and rummage through his homework. As soon as he touched the wound, he fell down in pain. I had to instruct Xu Yuanzuo to get it himself.

Xu Yuanzuo pulled out a thick stack of manuscript paper from his baggage, which was his most satisfying study. Because many candidates have submitted essays before the exam. The habit of winning literary names, so these volumes are copied cleanly and carried with them.

""The Woman and the Hui Are Healing." Xu Yuanzuo opened an article with thick ink, read the title, and read the question: "'Ask the sage more and more, and want him to introspect'." This is a meso-so-so-ordinary problem. And it doesn't feel broken, and the strength is insufficient. ”

Mei Chenggong's face was full of shame and he didn't dare to speak.

Xu Yuanzuo raised his head and thought for a while, and said, "'The sage set up a known question, and he wants to teach the sage to introspect'. I changed it like this. How does it feel? ”

Mei Chenggong opened his mouth slightly and said, "Brother Xu is really good at writing, much better than me." He only knew that he admired Xu Yuanzuo's brilliance in breaking the topic, but he didn't expect that this was an old question, and Xu Yuanzuo probably did it.

Of course, Xu Yuanzuo would not know the old questions at all, and he hadn't even read much of the eight-strand model text, so Mei Chenggong's admiration was not a mistake.

Xu Yuanzuo continued to look at the topic, all the way to the end, and said: "Although the article is not amazing, it is quite smooth, if you are stable, you may not be able to pass the county test." ”

Mei Chenggong sighed and covered her face with her hands: "Don't hide it from Brother Xu, this article is an article made last time." The examiner was dismissed without any criticism. ”

"You're a ...... Misfortune. Xu Yuanzuo was speechless.

Good essays will naturally be collected by the examiner, and even if the essays are poor, there is a chance to be selected. Because of the practice of the field, if the examiner has a bad comment on the article, it must be an interview. One is to give the candidate a chance to explain, and the other is also the examiner's obligation to prove his or her own reasoning.

But there is a kind of article that is not enough to be loved, and it is impossible to find fault with it...... So Mei Chenggong has never succeeded.

Xu Yuanzuo flipped through a few more articles, put them down and said: "I'm afraid it's not easy for you to come up with this essay." I heard my teacher say: If the writing is not good, you must win people with momentum; The momentum is insufficient, and the intention must be exquisite; If the intention is mediocre, the literary talent can also be obtained. If it is words, momentum, and ideas, none of them are desirable...... That's really not much to offer. ”

Mei Chenggong lay on the bed and screamed, as if Xu Yuanzuo's words were too heavy, heavier than the rattan whip on his buttocks, almost making him unbearable.

Xu Yuanzuo soothed his wounded heart, and slapped him vigorously, making him hate neither love nor love. In just one moment, Mei Chenggong really tasted the sour taste, and couldn't say anything else except oops.

Just as Xu Yuanzuo wanted to take advantage of his IQ and EQ advantage to completely subdue Mei Chenggong, he only heard someone pedaling upstairs outside, vaguely coming towards this room.

"Little brother, what's wrong with you!" A woman was crying so much that she was still wearing plum blossoms and rain makeup, and pushed the door in. She suddenly saw Xu Yuanzuo, and was so ashamed that she almost retreated, and Xu Yuanzuo was still young and not an adult, so she was blessed and said, "But this son sent his brother back?" ”

Mei Chenggong knew that her sister was coming, and buried her head in the pillow again, looking faceless. (To be continued......)
