Chapter 37 Examination (3)

Because of the fear of such and such problems, therefore, once the candidates for the examination enter the Taichang Temple after the examination place, if there is no major emergency, they are absolutely not allowed to leave the examination room, no matter what the identity of the student, must live in the size of the toilet like the examination room for three days, until the end of the three rounds of examinations.

Of course, the candidates inside can't come out, but the people outside can go in, after all, among the candidates this time, there are also some who were born in Jijing, and some are even the sons of famous families in Jijing, although they are not like Xie An who eats and drinks in the examination room without heart and lungs, but the application of meals that day, their families will still ask people to prepare properly, and as for those students who rushed to Jijing from other places to take the exam, they will be relatively sad.

However, it is not to starve to death in the examination room, after all, the Ministry of Rites has already distributed some steamed buns and a stack of pickles to the candidates early in the morning, as the meal of the day, to satisfy hunger, as for the taste, it can only be said that it is a little unsatisfactory.

Early the next morning, when Xie An was sleeping soundly on the examination table, Yi Yi carried a delicately made lunch box, escorted by four family members of the Donggong Mansion, to Taichang Temple, and brought Xie An today's meal.

Yi Yiben is a beauty with Jiangnan characteristics, quiet and elegant, plus because she went out today, she also dressed up a little and applied a light layer of rouge, so that when she walked in front of other examination houses, some candidates who got up early in the examination room couldn't help but look around, I don't know, but also secretly said that it was the daughter of the family, who came here to visit her Ruyi Langjun.

After all, after having sex with Xie An, Yiyi no longer dressed as a girl who had not left the cabinet as before, but tied her hair up and tied it into a bun to show that she was a woman, which made those candidates who coveted her beauty secretly shake their heads and sighed.

Accompanied and monitored by an official of the Ministry of Rites, Yi Yi finally came to Xie An's Tianzi No. 250 examination room, woke up Xie An, who was sleeping on the examination table, and handed him the meal she had specially prepared.

Of course, these meals have been inspected by the officials of the Ministry of Rites before, after all, even if most of the Ministry of Rites of the Imperial Court already knows now, this Xie An is the person who informed them of the Ministry of Rites earlier and asked them to secretly protect them, but the routine inspection is still indispensable, otherwise if it is seen by someone with a heart, the Ministry of Rites will inevitably have to take a copy of the Imperial Doctor in front of the Son of Heaven and punish a crime of lax supervision.

Since Yi Yi is her daughter's family, the officials of the Ministry of Rites did not search her, so of course, she was not allowed to enter Xie An's examination house, but could only stand outside and hand Xie An what she brought.

When he saw the simplicity of the house, Yi Yi's eyes showed a deep worry and concern, because Liang Qiu Wu had discussed with Xie An, for various reasons, he didn't want outsiders to know the identities of the two for the time being, so in front of others, Yi Yi did not call Xie An his aunt again, but called him An like Liang Qiu Wu.

"Ann, did you work hard yesterday? Have you slept well? Although it was a question, looking at Yiyi's tone when he spoke, it seemed to be a declarative sentence, with a slight sparkle in his eyes, full of concern.

"Very good!" Standing face to face with Yi Yi across a row of low wooden walls, Xie An said with a smile, he was telling the truth, although since he entered the Donggong Mansion, under Yi Yi's meticulous care and service, Xie An has also become a little pampered, but in the final analysis, he is a person who has experienced hardships after all, thinking that when he was down in Jijing, not to mention that there was no place to stay, even three meals a day were a problem, just like now, there was a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and there was wine and food, how could it be called [bad]?

After comforting Yi Yi a little, Xie An sent her away, not that he didn't want to talk to Yi Yi for a while, but looking at her with a slight red look at the simple setting in the examination room, Xie An was really afraid that this sensual little girl couldn't help but cry and spoil her beautiful face today.

Besides, with such a bright light bulb as the official of the Ministry of Rites, Xie An was embarrassed to talk with Yi Yi about love and sweet words.

Not long after, the sound of gongs sounded in Taichang Temple, and then some officials of the Ministry of Rites began to distribute today's examination papers one after another.

Today, the test is the poetry and the five scriptures.

To be honest, when Xie An got the exam papers, he was almost not scared to death, the reason is that today's test questions are several times more than yesterday's, and the entire test question yesterday is only one sentence, no more than 20 words before and after, but today is good, just the test questions are enough to fill a piece of paper.

However, after carefully reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, because he found that although the test questions were written all over the page, they did not need to be answered one by one, just like the five scriptures, the examiner who wrote the questions selected one sentence from the "poem", "book", "Book of Rites", "Yi", and "Spring and Autumn" as the topic, and asked the students in the exam to choose one of the five questions to write an article, and the genre of the article was the same as yesterday's four books, which was also an eight-strand text.

In Xie An's view, the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" are roughly equivalent to the compulsory and elective courses he used to take in college.

The implication is that in the Great Zhou, the four parts of "University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius" are necessary for all students to master the examination, which not only requires understanding, but even must be familiar with it by heart and memorized it like a stream.

As for the "poems", "books", "rites", "Yi", "Spring and Autumn" these five classics, it is relatively low, only requiring students to roughly read and understand these five books, familiar with that one, choose the test questions of that scripture to solve the questions, in addition, there are not too harsh requirements, no wonder many candidates will think that whether it is the township test or the examination, the first round of the exam is the most critical, if the answer of the first round of the exam can not be satisfied with the invigilator, then the second round, the third round, even if you answer well, It will also be difficult to recover the initial loss.

This is also the reason why Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, wrote an article in person yesterday and stole the beams and changed the pillars as Xie An's answer sheet.

But no matter what, for Xie An, these five scriptures are similar to yesterday's four scriptures, and he doesn't know anything anyway.

After a few glances, he randomly chose an exam question for "Yi".

The title is like this, [In the division, Ji Chengtian pet also.] Benefit and Xun, the day is boundless, know to hide the past, for the king for the father, for the king for the gold. ]

Towards the mode of solving the question yesterday, Xie An translated this sentence according to his own understanding, which was regarded as answering the question, and then focused on another exam paper.

The requirement of another exam paper is that the students who take the exam use three poems, regardless of the subject matter, it is not also required to borrow scenery and poetry, or borrow scenery to sing things, or borrow scenery to lyrical, the requirements are simply like the additional questions on Xie An's previous exam papers.

This surprised him very much, didn't Da Zhou pay attention to poetry and songs?

Indeed, the Great Zhou does not pay attention to the poetry and songs that describe the wind and snow, which is why the talents who are very outstanding in this area are often unable to be officials.

From this aspect alone, the imperial court is still very insightful, after all, no matter how good your poetry is, it will not bring you any political achievements, at best, it is only in the banquet, as a way of entertainment, to communicate with colleagues, and perhaps attract the admiration of drinking prostitutes, but on weekdays, there are few opportunities to use it, after all, the official chapters and notices have extremely strict norms.

When writing an edict on behalf of the Son of Heaven, it is necessary to use the format of the "Edict"; As an order issued by a superior to a subordinate, or a notice conveyed to the people, it should be in the form of an edict; On the other hand, if a subordinate asks for an order from a superior official, or an official asks for an order from the Son of Heaven, he should use the format of the "Table"; Articles that promote characters should use "Like"; Articles that promote a spirit should use "Ode", and so on.

Who has ever seen a court official write poems and songs in an official document?

No!

Of course, even if it is an additional question, it is quite a headache for Xie An.

Although Xie An also recited a lot of Tang and Song poems when he was studying before, and he still remembered many of them, he didn't dare to use them, because he didn't know which dynasty this Great Zhou was, and he didn't know whether those poems and songs had already come out.

In desperation, Xie An had to find some modern people to imitate the five-character poems of the ancients, but fortunately, as long as there are three, therefore, Xie An can also piece it together after racking his brains, but the neatness is not fair and neat, and the norms are not standardized, so it is unknown.

In less than half an hour, when the rest of the candidates were still thinking hard about the article, Xie An had already started eating and drinking with the wine and food sent by Yiyi.

It was about noon, Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was the chief examiner of the examination, came to Xie An's examination house again.

Because of yesterday's experience, today, after Ruan Shaozhou took a turn around the rest of the examination houses, he immediately came to Xie An, and saw that he was like yesterday, eating and drinking until he was drunk, lying on the desk and falling asleep, frowning, crying and laughing.

It's easy to take the exam like this!

Ruan Shaozhou secretly mocked in his heart, but for the sake of his future affairs, the eldest grandson Xiangyu explained, he also had to fulfill it, after all, as a student of Yin Gong, Ruan Shaozhou knew too well the temperament and ability of the eldest granddaughter under his teacher's knees.

After a slight glance at Xie An's exam paper, Ruan Shaozhou frowned and shook his head, glanced back at the examination house at Tianzi No. 249 opposite, and saw that the student was bowing his head to write an article, so he quietly put Xie An's exam paper in his arms, and then took out a full answer sheet from his sleeve, plus three poems, and finally, shook his sleeves and left calmly.

So much so that when Xie An woke up and looked at the exam papers on his desk, he was stunned for a while.

Fortunately, Ruan Shaozhou came again yesterday before collecting the test papers, stole the beams and changed the pillars, and dropped the articles he wrote with Xie An, so Xie An was not too surprised.

It's just that......

It doesn't feel too good......

With an embarrassed look on his face, picking up the answer sheet prepared for him by Ruan Shaozhou, Xie An sighed secretly.

"Waiting"

The best period has not returned, and I hope to see the next machine. Wandering on Dongmo, pedestrians are sparse at the beginning of the month.

Wing Dong

Seven nights take the luck, and the three stars disappear with the time. The frost and ice are strong, and the cold wind is getting more and more cut. The clouds are heavy and cloudy, and the snow is flowing back. The garden is beautiful, and the garden is beautiful and clean. There is condensation in the stubbornness, and there is no way to do it.

"Joyful Rain"

Zhu Ming shook the flames, and the heat fanned the wind.

Envy the bright moonlight, leaving the middle of the night.

Thinking about the clouds in the western suburbs, the rain is chongchao.

The heavens are haggard, and the merchant sheep sings a rumor.

Take a look at the eight-strand article, it is also neat and rigorous, and the rhetoric is gorgeous, even if Xie An doesn't know much about this, he also understands that Ruan Shaozhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is worthy of being an important minister in the court, and a proud protégé of the prime minister of the dynasty.

Looking at the answer sheet prepared by the other party for him repeatedly, Xie An was stunned and couldn't find even the slightest flaw in the answer sheet, but this feeling was not very good......

It's as if someone else is taking the exam on your behalf, and it seems that I just walked around the exam room, ate food and drink, slept lazy, and didn't do anything......

Really, why don't you have something you know, why are you so stingy?

Just when Xie An was secretly complaining, he finally ushered in the third day of the exam, and asked!

When he received the exam paper from the hands of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, Xie An could not hide the joy in his eyes.

This is......
