Shangjing Rite Department.

"My lord, this is the excerpt presented by Jinzhou and Hengzhou, and they are all here." The little official behind Guo You, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, carried up two boxes, and he was still holding a dozen in his hands. According to the rules, the excerpts presented to the six parts need to be classified and sent one by one, and Guo You was lucky to catch up with the errand of delivering the excerpts.

"After careful review, the lower officials picked out these, and adults can take a look." Guo You neatly stacked the fold in his hand on the desk of the Ministry of Rites.

Zuo Qingkui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, waved his hand and picked up a book.

The excerpts presented to the Ministry of Rites are all about some virtues in Jinzhou and Hengzhou that appeared in natural disasters, such as filial piety, sacrificing oneself to save others, etc., or the arrangements of some ethnic minorities there, and the restoration of schools...... Zuo Qingkui looked at it boredly.

After a while, he put down his fold and said, "Someone, take it down and file these registers." Immediately a magistrate came in and took the fold on the desk.

"Now that Lord Zuo has passed his eyes, then the lower official will leave." Zuo Qingkui nodded, stood up and saluted Guo You.

Guo You was about to step out of the door, as if he suddenly thought of something, and said: "This time there was an outbreak of the plague in Jinzhou, but it quickly subsided, in fact, it was not the people from the Tai Hospital who first stifled it, but a rural village woman provided a way, which prevented the plague from spreading out of the country." ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? It seems that the little village woman has also seen a few things. Zuo Qingkui recalled what he had seen on the fold just now, and thought thoughtfully.

"Someone."

"What do you command?"

"On the fold just now, the woman in Shilitang, make a note of her, if she still has a creation in the future, and then show it to the housekeeper." After thinking about it, Zuo Qingkui felt that this was in line with etiquette.

"Yes."

The natural disasters in Jinzhou and Hengzhou were finally washed away by time, and all that remained was the busyness of Xiaominmen itself, and then gradually returned to its previous business state.

Yun Ji was sitting in the examination shed, if he was not mistaken, the person diagonally opposite was Guan Shangxuan. It's been two years, and I met ...... again in the exam room Hum.

It's still a familiar formula, Yun Ji put the exam basket in a corner of the exam booth, and there are more than ten exam papers on the table. This time it's not a joke.

Looking at the invigilator above, there were two other than Su Xuning, and Yun Ji was sure that he hadn't seen these two people last time. It should have been sent from Jinzhou as mentioned by Master Yu.

It wasn't too bright yet, and Yun Ji was staring at the exam papers in the exam booth in the faint light. The volume is out in advance, and the person who specializes in copying copies copies it, and the font is all in block letters, and there is no exceedance, and it is as uniform as printing. To be able to practice words into such a human heart must be very tenacious.

The candidates who took the exam entered the examination booth one after another, and the sky gradually brightened, and all the candidates sat down. The examiner announces the start of the exam and rings the bell.

A group of candidates began to grind their pens and answer.

Yun Ji was still not in a hurry, he checked the test paper first, and looked at the questions by the way. The front part of this test paper is pasted scriptures, and the back part is Moyi, a total of two question types. Then Yun and guess, tomorrow should be arithmetic and poetry, and boldly guess that there should be a topic of scripture and righteousness.

Before he came, Master Zhu had already given him a thorough understanding of the question types for the scientific examination, and he had also done exercises, but Master Zhu did not tell him the results of the exercises. But it doesn't matter, it's the exam in front of you that matters.

Yun Ji polished the ink, dipped the pen in ink, and slowly wrote his name, place of origin, three generations of ancestors and recommenders in the sealing line.

These will be checked at that time, and I heard that only those who take the test and above will be confused, so the sealing line on the test paper I am doing now is just a decoration.

Yun and began to write the content of the scriptures on scratch paper. The sticker is also a genuine sticker, no longer reciting a large paragraph of content like last time, but arbitrarily picking out a page or paragraph in a classic book, covering the surrounding content, leaving a line or a few words, and then filling in.

No wonder there are so many papers this time, and the number of questions is half as much as last time. Fill in the content silently.

He never forgot it, and he read the "Sutra" no less than ten times, so it was really simple for him to stick to the scriptures. Compared to the scene of taking the county exam at the age of seven, this time he didn't even shake his legs. Write heartily and cheerfully, and there is no hesitation.

Write it on scratch paper first to prevent mistakes in writing on the test paper and it doesn't look good. Scratch paper is also to be recycled and verified, and it must be complete and tidy to prevent cheating and cheat sheets.

There are 100 articles of pasting scriptures and 60 articles of Moyi. The speed of writing can neither be slow nor make mistakes. If it is slow, it may not be completed before dark, and if you make a mistake, it will not look good, and it is easy to mess up your own position.

Yunji wrote carefully, put one aside to dry, and then wrote the next one. This time the content is more challenging than the prefectural exam. Most of the content of the scriptures is conventional, but a few are more tricky.

"The Analects", "Spring and Autumn", "The Book of Rites" and so on are all involved, most of which are from the "Analects" and "The Book of Rites", and many of the topics are not ordinary famous sentences and good sentences, but are easy to ignore by students.

Moyi excerpts the content of it, summarizes it into a question, and answers it by the student's pen and ink, which is actually the content of rote memorization, but in a different way. It's much more active than sticking scriptures, but it's also much simpler.

I can't remember the scriptures, it's not a hint at all. Moyi is different, it says between the lines: I have already told you the answer, write it quickly! If you can't write it, you just wait to be punished.

That's right, that's it.

It took Yun Ji two hours to finish writing the content of the scriptures. After two years of practice, Yun Ji's handwriting looks more regular and beautiful than in the county exam, but his writing speed has still not improved.

After writing the scriptures in one breath, I felt exhausted.

In desperation, he put down his pen.

My mother said that sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter. There is still one afternoon, enough time to write sixty ink meanings.

Yun Ji began to take out dry food to eat, drinking water while eating. After drinking the water, I went to the latrine. I came back and rested for a while and continued to write.

"There are clouds, 'those who are courteous to their rulers will do things like the adoptive parents of filial sons.'" Please read the following. ”

The first question of the Moyi encountered by Yun and the one is from "Spring and Autumn Period?? Left to the eighteenth year of Wengong", to be out of the following text, in fact, it is not much different from sticking to the scriptures. It's all basic, and it can't be any more basic.

Yun Ji immediately picked up a pen and wrote on scratch paper: "When you see those who are rude to their monarchs, they will be punished like eagles chasing birds and birds." After checking it, he felt that there was no mistake, so he wrote on the test paper: "'The following says: If you see those who are rude to their rulers, you will punish them, like an eagle chasing birds and birds. 'Yes. ”
