Chapter 1 Wu Shi Examination of the Imperial Examination

There are still two hours before the question paper is issued, Shun Yu is hanging an oilcloth curtain in front of the door, a messenger wearing a hat on his head, wearing a coat to guard outside, there is a young face, seeing that she is still small, standing on tiptoe to reach the top of the door, simply take it and hang it for her.

Shun Yu wanted to chat and express his gratitude, and saw that there were soldiers guarding in front of each house, and according to the laws of the examination room, candidates were not allowed to ask questions or make noise with others. Then he only smiled and turned his head inside.

Then wipe the table and stool clean the dust, put the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other things, put a small iron stove in the niche on the opposite wall, the flame licked the bottom of the pot, Shun Yu went to pick up half a pot of hot water, leaned on the futon and ate some white flour burritos, I wanted to sleep for a while to nourish my spirit, but my eyes were staring at the wooden beams and green tiles in a daze, remembering the words of Liu Haiqiao, or there were flower snakes coiled and hidden in the meantime, and I became more and more unable to close my eyes.

Tossing and turning, the room was already dark, and she simply sat up, lit the candle, and listened to the coughing and shoe walking next door.

I don't know when the rain stopped, a white moon rose outside the window, the fog was thin and the wind swayed, there were shadows of trees flickering in front of the window, and the birds were cooing and crying, and they were very lonely.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a gong, and I knocked it eight times in a row, startling a small spider that crawled along the silk.

After a long time, the sound of mixed footsteps came from far and near, the oilcloth curtain was half-lifted by the sent army, and the three promotion and invigilators in official uniforms were greeted with solemn faces, Shun Yu was respectful, and the three of them did not say a word, put down the question paper and left.

Pick up the question paper and read it, test one theory, judge five questions, and one for each subject of the edict table.

The title of "Analects" is from the Analects. Advanced", with "point, what is it?" "Righteousness.

Interpretation of this theory: Zi Lu, Zeng Hui, Ran You, and Gong Xihua sat with Confucius. Confucius asked the four what their ambitions were? Zilu said that if a big country is invaded and there is a famine in the country, it only takes three years for him to make the people brave and good at fighting and implement polite governance; Ran Qiu said: I will govern a small country for three years, and the people will be fed; Gongxi Chi said that he was interested in the ritual of the temple and was willing to start learning from the people who praised the ceremony. Zeng Hui said that his ambition had been realized, and he wore new clothes in late spring, played in the countryside with his companions, and returned with songs. Confucius praised Zeng Chen's ambitions.

Shun Yu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, one day on the winter solstice.

Outside the window, the snow was as big as a white butterfly flying, she was in the warm and quiet Qitong Courtyard, leaning on the big kang to read, and she didn't even know that Shen Erye had entered the room, until he sat down next to her and took away the book resting on her lap.

A girl held his black coat, and a girl poured boiling tea.

"Are you going to take the imperial examination? How can you read this chapter and be distracted? Second Master Shen waved his hand to let the girl retreat, and took her into his broad arms.

"If this article is used as the title, how will the second master make righteousness?" Shun Yu was not used to this kind of intimacy, her whole body stiffened, and she found a word casually, twisted, and distanced herself from each other.

Second Master Shen's eyes were slightly dark, his expression was faint, he looked down at the book, but he also replied to her gently: "Whatever you encounter, where the saint is!" “

Shun Yu was slightly stunned, and asked: "What Sage Kong praises is to be at peace with what happens?" “

Shen Erye said in a deep voice: "The one who is the will of the husband and the third son, who knows it from a different day, is afraid all day long to be in the name of the honor; Those who do what they want, the joy of today. And the son is with him, and the death is not here. It means: Zilu, Ran You, and Gong Xihua's ambitions are future acquaintances, but they will be restless all day long, looking forward to gaining fame in the future; And Zeng Hui's ambition is to enjoy the happiness of the present. Confucius praised Zeng Hui because he cherished the present and not the future.

Second Master Shen was holding the pages of the book in his hand, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at her: "What is your ambition?" ”

Ambition? Her ambition is to use the people in front of her to help Zhu Yu regain the throne.

Looking out the window, there was a maid who was sweeping the snow in the yard, raising her hand to comb the slightly scattered hair on her sideburns, and pursing her lips: "My ambition is no different from Zilu, Ran You and Gong Xihua." .......... What about the second master? ”

Second Master Shen was silent for a long time, and just when Shun Yu thought that he would not reply to her again, he heard him say calmly: "I am no different from Zeng Huizhizhi!"

Is he happy now?! Shun Yu thought vaguely and continued to look at the scenery outside the window.

What does his happiness have to do with her, she is not happy.

.............................

But Shun Yu is happy now!

The Analects. This article is long and complicated, and it is not easy to solve the problem, and the answer given by Shen Erye is extremely exquisite.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, and after she has completed the "Treatise" topic smoothly and in one go, the other questions will be expressed, and she will feel more and more smooth.

Before I knew it, I had handed over three drums, and the soldiers outside the door snored, Shun Yu stretched his waist, yawned carefully, put away the exam papers, and then pulled the mattress to rest.

In the haze, the candle flame crackled and burst the flowers, the oilcloth curtain was lifted, Shun Yu looked, a young woman came in, wearing a pomegranate red dress, her figure was enchanting and graceful, there was a bit of moving posture, she played the pipa in her hand, and sang tactfully: "It is said that when there are lovers meeting, the boundless situation, when the two of me meet, how to have a grievance, cry, say it, I want Dongfang Liang, I am busy dressing up to meet you, you are lazy to spread the quilt lying in bed, I don't know what day to meet, and how to talk about the desolation of that day." “

Shun Yu rubbed his eyes and sat up, and reprimanded unhappily: "The woman in the Fengyue Field, how can you sneak into my house and sing some obscene songs." “

The woman was stunned, then she raised her eyes and looked at her, and hurriedly bowed down, very apologetically: "I went to the wrong place and found the wrong person." He was still here early in the morning, but he didn't know when he left. “

As he spoke, his face was full of anger and hatred: "I will ask for his life, and I will go to the king of Hades to seek justice together." “

Then he said to Shun Yu: "You go with me, and testify that I have not wronged him." “

Shun Yu saw that her clothes were drenched, embarrassed and pitiful, so she nodded and agreed.

The woman thanked her, walked ahead, Shun Yu followed, out of the house, walked along the alleyway for a long time, and finally stopped in front of the house.

Shun Yu looked at the number plate, it was the number one, the Confucian who ran to the wrong house.

Lifting the curtain and entering, the Confucian student has not rested, is writing to answer the question, listening to the sound, looking up to see that it is Shun Yu, quite surprised, and then sneaking his eyes to look at the woman, instantly pale, stunned and discolored.

"Although it is because of your wife, I am bent on going with you, and you deceived me into going to my house, but you still want my life, you ....... A ruthless and ruthless man. The woman's apricot eyes were wide open, and her silver teeth creaked.

The Confucian student trembled in front of her, knelt down with a "poof", hugged her legs and begged for mercy: "Good sister, there is a Hedong lion in my family, if I take you back, both of you will not be able to save your life, it is not intentional to push you into the river pond, it is that the moss along the side is too slippery, good sister, you let me test my fame, and in the future, I will build a big temple for you, plastic gold body, and be a Buddha offering, and the incense will continue all year round." ”

"Hugh is going to lie to me with clever words." The woman shouted, and then looked at Shunyu: "You can listen carefully, he admitted to himself that he pushed me into the river and killed me." ”

Shun Yu replied yes, and the woman grabbed the Confucian ear and walked towards the door with a curse. She chased after her, the alleyway was pitch black, where there was half a figure, and suddenly heard a loud shout: "Why are you here?" ”

Shun Yu was startled, her eyes opened, where was the alley, she was lying on the bed peacefully, and the window had come in.
