Chapter 82 College Examination

Emperor Tai'an and Xiao Yunfeng spoke in the imperial study for two hours, and no one knew what the uncle and nephew had specifically said. Novelし

When Xiao Yunfeng returned home, it was already the second half of the night!

Last night's rain did not cool down, but became more humid and hot. Covered in sweat and sticky, it makes people uncomfortable.

As soon as he entered the door, Zheng Qingluan greeted him, "Let people prepare water, let's wash it first!" As he spoke, he handed over a bowl of summer tea, which did not smell as much as he imagined, and it was difficult to swallow. After pouring a bowl of hot tea, my heart was cold, the pores of my body were stretched, and my mind was a little more sober.

"This tea is good! Let people always have it!" Xiao Yunfeng felt that this was the benefit of having a daughter-in-law, and it was intimate everywhere.

"Explain it!" he said, only pushing him to hurry up and wash it.

When I finished freshening up, I saw that the food was on the table. He really didn't eat lunch, and he bought two snacks in the imperial study, and he wasn't hungry soon.

The three-color cold noodles and various colors of ingredients make people have a great appetite.

"Here, eat quickly!" Zheng Qingluan personally mixed a bowl of noodles.

Xiao Yunfeng was not polite, the sour and spicy taste spread in his mouth, and he nodded again and again with satisfaction. There are so many people who serve him, and no one finds out what he tastes, and he is not a picky person, and he eats everything. If you want to say that you can eat comfortably and comfortably, you have to go through the hands of this little girl. Although the two have not been together for a long time, the food in his hands is always very appetizing.

After pulling out a bowl of noodles in three or two bites, I saw a bowl of mung bean soup at hand.

"No added sugar, original flavor, just hung up from the well!" Zheng Qingluan said as he mixed noodles for him. Obviously, he knew that he couldn't see those sweet soups and waters.

Xiao Yunfeng was even more comfortable! After eating three bowls in a row, the hunger passed. Spare time to speak, "Uncle brother has been busy these days, and he can't be at home?" This is asking Erlang.

"Well, I'm drunk every day. Zheng Qingluan said helplessly, "I'm not at ease, let Zhou Hai and Ghost Five follow." ”

"That's good!" Xiao Yunfeng said with a smile, "If you want to mix in the army, how can you not drink? It's a skill to be able to invite someone to drink! To be able to invite someone to drink is a great skill!"

"I don't understand what you men are doing outside!" Zheng Qingluan was supple at the right time, "If you say don't worry, don't worry." Knowing that he hadn't eaten enough, he handed over the sesame pancakes with sauce and meat, poured a bowl of mung bean soup, and ate a lot of noodles, and couldn't give them today.

The sauce meat is fat and thin, and the mouth is full of flavor. I ate three more in a row, and one of them was eight points full, so I stopped eating, poured down the mung bean soup, and sighed comfortably, "This is called food for people!"

Zheng Qingluan smiled when he heard it, the daily dishes in the kitchen are all exquisite, how expensive it is, how to do it. How tedious, how to do it. It seems that this makes it look more elaborate. She smiled, "Just explain how you want to eat! You have to hold a shelf, so that the people below can't figure out their preferences, and they will suffer themselves, and the people who do things will be embarrassed." ”

"How else does it seem unfathomable?" Xiao Yunfeng replied with a smile. In fact, he rarely eats at home on weekdays, so how can he be so particular. He added, "The college exam will be in five days, you have to hurry." ”

In this way, the emperor has allowed it!

Zheng Qingluan was a little excited, this exam was the beginning of his real imperial examination! "Don't worry!

Of course he didn't worry about this, so he changed the topic with a smile, "Before entering the examination room, you have to search your body, the palace will send a grandmother, it should be someone next to the queen, and you will not be wronged." The Kaoshe is also **, and the outside is also guarded by the grandmother in the palace. I want to find a way to see if I can send our people over, you can use this easily!"

"I don't want to cheat! send everyone the same!" Zheng Qingluan didn't mind at all. That's a good thing!

Xiao Yunfeng smiled and didn't correct her. has his own person, and things like eating and going to the toilet can definitely be arranged properly. Otherwise, there is only one woman in such a big examination room, and just going to the toilet can be difficult to die.

For the rest of the day, no one bothered her, and she took the exam questions from previous years, not to ponder the content, but to ponder the mode of answering the questions.

Knowing that he was going to take the exam in Beijing, Song Yufu and Huang Qingli both sent posts, saying that they would not bother in the near future, and they would get together again after the exam was released. Zheng Qingluan replied to the post and thanked them for their concern.

Erlang came back early these days and didn't go anywhere, as if he could help in this way!

Xiao Yunfeng has a bottom in his heart, he is not in a hurry, he only asks her to go to bed and eat on time every day, and he just tries his best to say this.

Five days of hard work passed in the blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, meals were delivered on the stove, things without soup and water, steamed dumplings, tofu skin buns, egg custard - Zheng Qingluan filled his stomach before he went out leisurely. She is dressed in a modified Hu suit, which is difficult to distinguish between male and female, and her hair is coiled up and fixed with an ebony hairpin, which is refreshing and refreshing.

Just about to get into the carriage, I saw the young guy walking quickly to Xiao Yunfeng's side and whispering something, Xiao Yunfeng frowned slightly, waved his hand to let the little guy go down, but he came towards Zheng Qingluan.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Qingluan thought something was wrong, "Why don't you go and get busy, I can't lose it without you sending it!"

Jiro and Oni Gogo were on the side of the carriage, Jiro nodded, "With me!

Xiao Yunfeng smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's the arrangement over there that has changed a little, get in the car first, let's talk while walking." ”

Everyone looked at each other and said no more.

"In addition to the grandmother sent by the palace, there is also the chief examiner who also sent a mother-in-law-" Before Xiao Yunfeng finished speaking, Zheng Qingluan understood. She smiled, "We didn't plan to cheat in the first place, so what's the matter with a few more invigilators? As long as they don't make them bad, let them go! The stricter it is, the better it will be for us!"

"That's right! There are people in the palace watching, and there are also our people, no one will take the risk of doing bad, you can rest assured. Xiao Yunfeng was really speechless to this uncle, wasn't he afraid that he would take the opportunity to cheat and make his grace unable to be sent?

Zheng Qingluan also had a guess in his heart, and it was estimated that Xiao Yunfeng had negotiated the conditions with the emperor without telling him. This time is a must-pass! But the emperor is afraid that he will cheat and really pass the exam, and he will not have a chance to show mercy if he wants to! This person is really -- she simply closes her eyes and rests her mind! It is useless to think too much! She has to work the examination papers!

When Zheng Qingluan got out of the carriage, there were a lot of people outside. The whole street is very lively, and the aroma of various snacks goes straight to the nose.

Zheng Qingluan was drooling as he watched the fried quail when he heard the gong sound entering the examination room. Zheng Qingluan took the test basket, "Go back! Don't worry." ”

Jiro felt as if he was more nervous, "Taking care of yourself is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary." ”

Zheng Qingluan nodded, waved his hand at Xiao Yunfeng, stopped his rambling, and then walked towards the crowd without looking back.

When I got to the door, I handed over the test basket, and when the inspection was completed, I said, "Search your body, please come out!"

The soldier was startled, this is the girl he had explained above? He didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly asked someone to report the news. This caused quite a commotion, and the surrounding candidates were taken aback, it turned out that this was a girl's house! All of a sudden, Zheng Qingluan had a vacuum belt around him, after all, men and women are different, how can they be close?

Zheng Qingluan looked at many people, and after half a cup of tea, a few grandmothers in their thirties came out. Now that the situation is special, Zheng Qingluan didn't dare to be close casually, so he simply greeted each other, and led Zheng Qingluan into a fine house not far from the gate. Zheng Qingluan was not verbose, and directly widened his clothes and asked them to check. Several people also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the eldest princess of Jiangyang specially entered the palace for this girl yesterday. That master was not a good-natured man. Fortunately, this person is knowledgeable and very cooperative!

The examiner is said to be a protégé of the Du family, but he doesn't have the courage to do it in the scientific examination! Not to mention under the emperor's nose. Therefore, the mother-in-law of this family only watched and didn't say anything, but nothing happened!

One person in one room, and obviously, her test house is improvised, slightly more spacious inside, and there is a dark pavilion with a gong bucket, which can be regarded as solving the problem of grain reincarnation. The others really don't make any difference. The door was locked, and there were a few grandmothers standing outside the door, who were invigilators, and they were afraid that she would be hit by someone. There was only one table and one chair inside, all of which were very clean, and it was obviously scrubbed in advance.

After Zheng Qingluan sat down, the candidates hadn't come in yet, so naturally the questions would not be announced. She felt a little bored for a moment, so she had to look through her answer sheet...... In some poor states and counties, even this thing has to be brought by yourself. But no matter whether it is issued by the yamen or brought by yourself, the format is the same.

There are eleven pages in total, the first page is the cover, the college examination is very strict, the candidate's situation can not be written directly on the cover, but to use the 'pasty name' after the 'transcription', Zheng Qingluan saw that there was a number stamp on the cover, and the stamp said 'College Examination A word zero plate', he was a little speechless. It has always started from the first number, giving her a zero number for the insertion candidate!

After opening the cover, the other ten pages are the places to answer the questions, with 14 vertical lines on each page, 18 red grids on each line, and one word written in each grid. In addition, there are several pages of scratch paper.

Wait until all the candidates have entered the venue and are seated before the test begins.

The main examiner this time is Lord Yin Li, who heard that he married Du Xiang's cousin. It can be regarded as a member of the Du family.

Although he can't be embarrassed by Xiao Zheng's family, there are some things that he still has to show his attitude to the Du family. The difficulty of the exam questions is a dignified and upright conspiracy.

He groaned for a while, and after seeing that the officials had locked all the doors of the examination rooms, he wrote down the topic of the college examination on a blank horizontal axis—a current essay and a test poem.

Then I saw that it was written, 'It is a man and can not be as good as a bird?' Shiyun: King Mumuwen.' 'The title of a trial poem is a five-character and eight-rhyme poem of 'Yin Yin Xia Mu Huang Li'...... It is said that this dynasty only focuses on the current text, and the standard is to test two eight-strand essays, but in order to increase the difficulty of the exam, Master Li changed the current text to a trial poem.

When the two errand officers walked in front of the examination room with scrolls in their hands to ensure that everyone could see the questions clearly, the originally silent examination room let out an irrepressible gasp one after another. When Master Li was inspecting outside, he saw that many students were as pale as mourning exams, obviously shocked by their own questions, and couldn't help but smile slightly...... No matter what the result is, Du Xiang can't blame him!

The college exam is based on the examiner's proposition, and the autonomy is very large, so Zheng Qingluan has always felt that this kind of exam is very unreliable...... Some examiners are very lazy and find sentences from the scriptures to deal with them, and sometimes they are even exactly the same as the Cheng Wen that the candidates usually recite. Because the law does not stipulate that 'attacking' is not allowed, so candidates who happen to memorize that article only need to write it down silently, and no examiner dares not to take it - you must know that no one who makes an article can be called 'Cheng Wen Cheng Mo', it is all written by the Hanlin of the Shiwen family, do you dare to say that it is not good?

When encountering such a test question, the candidate takes advantage, but for the person who wrote the question, it is really throwing people to grandma's house...... In order to select talents, the country has spent so much manpower and material resources to hold an examination, and you have come up with such a question full of Cheng Wen, what can you test?

But in fact, such a situation is unavoidable, because the content to be assessed is nothing more than the Four Books and Five Classics, and the total is only tens of thousands of words. There are so many first-level exams in the country, and questions must be taken from them, except for those foul words, which sentence has not been used?

Now, as long as you go to the bookstore, you can buy a full set of Cheng Wen and come back, and you can flip through the catalog, and you can do it without the same. Zheng Qingluan has been studying this kind of model text!

In order to prevent the phenomenon of duplicate questions, the examiners are also full of wisdom. So an old man who was forced to be anxious extracted half of two sentences that were not related to each other, and composed a new sentence that no one had ever seen before. You know that the permutations and combinations are endless, so you immediately open up a new world.

Since the previous dynasty, the imperial court simply recognized this method and issued a decree saying: "Big questions must be produced in the main examination, and small questions can be produced in the preliminary examination." 'The township examination is called the main examination above, and the preliminary examination is the following examination. The so-called big question is a sentence with complete form and meaning, and the small question is a truncated question.

Even if you haven't done Bagu Wen, you can see that because of the fragmentation of the scriptures, the bull's head and deer body, in the eyes of scholars, often the meaning of the topic is difficult to understand, the topic is rare, but there is no difference when the topic is broken, and the article written goes thousands of miles away, so everyone thinks that 'small questions are more difficult than big questions'.

Now Master Li doesn't know what kind of wind he is smoking, what he comes out of is a truncation question, and it is a perverted mix of 'book' and 'scripture', no wonder most of the candidates lamented, and even Zheng Qingluan wanted to directly hit the package and go home when he saw the question. Grandma's a bear!

But when she passed through the gate of the fence and saw a young man in his twenties, dressed in a kudzu robe, but with a calm bearing, she saw that he had muttered for a moment, and then smiled and began to write on the manuscript paper, apparently having succeeded in solving the problem. Look at the other one, seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, although he frowned, but after some hard thinking and meditation, he has also begun to write with a dignified face.

The others were far away and couldn't see their expressions clearly, but just looking at the movements, they knew that they had finished solving the problem one after another and began to conceive the essay.

Zheng Qingluan gritted her teeth and said in her heart, fight hard! Anyway, everyone thinks it's difficult! She doesn't necessarily have to be too ugly in the test!

Zheng Qingluan pondered the question carefully, and first located their respective sources in his heart...... The previous sentence 'Can you be inferior to a bird because you are a human being?' comes from the "University", and the original sentence is 'Yu Zhi, knowing what it stops, you can be a human but not as good as a bird', which means that people should know their own position.

The second half of 'Shiyun: King Mu Muwen' is a verse in the Book of Songs, and the original text is 'King Mu Muwen, Yu Ji Xi respectfully. It means to be benevolent as a king, as a minister as a respectful, as a son of man as filial piety, and as a father as a father. Communicate with the people of the country and stop at the letter.

Damn, this looks like it's completely unreliable. How to connect two unrelated sentences, and how to connect them in a reasonable and seamless way, is really a test of people's imagination and creativity! Zheng Qingluan greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestor of the main examination over and over again in his heart! Then he forced himself to calm down and enter the state.

Once a person calms down, he quickly enters the state of taking the exam and has no distractions. After pondering for a long time, he wrote on the paper, 'If the lady is not as good as a bird, it is really shameful; ’

Only when you really answer the questions can you understand that this kind of truncated question seems unreasonable, but in fact, it really tests the real level of the candidates. It does not have to read the scriptures thoroughly in order to understand the meaning of the two parts. The most important thing is to make people use their brains and skillfully connect the words that do not match the preamble, at least to be self-justifying. This is fundamentally a test of the candidate's ability to adapt to changes! This is why the vast majority of test takers are afraid of it......

You must know that the vast majority of readers at this time, after learning the Four Books and Five Classics and related works, put all their energy on the Bagu Wen, reciting the high-headed sermon and reciting the manuscript of the Cheng Text, not reading the three links and four histories, not knowing the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the head is as stiff as granite, let them improvise, it is better to let the old sow go up the tree to be realistic.

And once Zheng Qingluan solves the problem and finds the official know-how, she will immediately show her advantages! Her head is not only not rigid, but on the contrary, it is also very flexible. Nor does she stick to preconceived notions, because later conclusions seem to be more incisive. So it's easy for her to pull together two sentences that are not related...... There is nothing special about this kind of associative ability, but in a group of reserved readers, it is a little special!

This time, thanks to the creativity she saw in her, her unfettered thinking ability.

And the natural enemy of this trait is the rigid and dogmatic eight-strand essay, if you are addicted to exam-taking essays, over time, between the rise and fall, you will be like most scholars, old-fashioned and pedantic, useless.

At this moment, Zheng Qingluan is clearly aware of this problem!

She also has many shortcomings of her own, and she still needs to use heavy schoolwork to hone her mind, so as to remove these shortcomings of impetuousness and opportunism in her body; she also needs to expand the textbooks she has learned to a subset of the scriptures and histories of the hundred schools of thought, so as to enhance her mind with the wisdom and experience of everyone in the past.

Only by tempering the heart and mind can the heart be truly strong. And a truly strong mind is not disturbed by any external objects. When the time comes, no matter how much Baguwen is read, it will no longer change her personality.

After writing the problem, the rest of the thing is very simple, starting from the topic and starting the topic, starting with the shares, the shares and the shares, and finally forming a big bunch. More than half an hour later, an article sprinkled with flowers fell on the manuscript paper.

After writing, check whether the truncation is neat and fine-tune the structure. It is also necessary to delete some flashy words and phrases, so as to make the article more structured, simple, and concise.

Finally, I read it silently from the beginning several times until it was harmonious and catchy, and then I was barely satisfied.

Zheng Qingluan breathed a long sigh of relief, sat up straight, stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, and said secretly in his heart: "Although I have something in my heart and many ideas, I still feel that I can't fully describe the meaning after writing it, and I still need more practice in choosing words and sentences!"

If those who are still thinking hard about solving the problem know Zheng Qingluan's thoughts, they must not be confused with her bloody face! You must know that she has never studied composition at all, and she has completely figured it out by herself with examples! It is already good to be able to write like this, and you can't be too nitpicky.

Zheng Qingluan has only really realized the difficulty of the imperial examination now, if she is not a human being in two lives, she has gone through more than ten years of examination-oriented education in her previous life, and then used the method of exam-taking to teach students, then in this life, she will not be able to cope with the imperial examination anyway.

Although the experiences in her previous life are not worth boasting about, she has expert-level experience in absorbing knowledge, summarizing the rules, and figuring out the test points. As soon as Zheng Qingluan got the sample essay, he realized that Baguwen was not a highly arbitrary work of art like Tang and Song poetry, but an argumentative style used by the state to win scholars. She dared to be sure, just like the college entrance examination writing essay, such an essay has a strong skill in it. So these days before the exam, she read a lot of Cheng Wen and figured out the rules, what kind of article format, what kind of problem-solving undertaking, is a good article. And how to arrange the content is more substantial, how to do it to conform to the rhyme, and so on, and so on, have been summarized. For example, in the format, use positive and negative cases instead of declension, and strive to make each share positive and negative, virtual and real, and strive to be orderly, etc.

Every detail is taken into account, and details determine success or failure, and it is the truth at all times.

After reading it several times, Zheng Qingluan is sure that this article can get a good ranking under any examiner!

Only then did I do a final check to see if there was any violation of the emperor's sacredness. After it was completely confirmed, he copied it on the answer sheet with the pavilion style one by one.

And the details determine success or failure, this sentence is by no means just talking, not only the font is the pavilion style, but also the size of the handwriting, the intensity of the ink, should be paid attention to. To write dignified and neat, meticulous.

Zheng Qingluan didn't dare to be perfunctory at will, how many people were staring at her! She couldn't afford to lose people! It was by no means easy to stand out among so many elites, and she didn't dare to be sloppy in the slightest!

Once the whole exam was in the state, he completely forgot about foreign objects, as if there was only one person and one table left in heaven and earth. When I finally finished writing the last stroke of this 500-word essay, it was just the right time to hear a bang, and the time to release the cards arrived.

I saw the door of the examination room slowly opened, and some candidates who had already handed in their papers packed up their things and went out, and after a while, the door closed again, and the next time the cards were released, they had to wait until an hour later...... It's summer, the days are long, and even if it's late, it doesn't matter. Because the test house is not allowed to be lit, the paper must be handed in before dark.

However, for Zheng Qingluan, a trial post poem is obviously much easier than Shiwen. Although it is impossible to copy the poetry of another time and space, because it is limited to the title. But after a good poem is reinvented, it may not be useless. You don't even need to be too polished, as long as it rhymes and conforms to the format.

As soon as I saw the title of 'Yin Yin Summer Wood Yellow Bird', I remembered the whole poem: see you in the rainy pond, and know the breeze in your sleeves. Yin yin summer wood yellow oriole. Where to fly the egret when it moves. It is easy to get drunk and drink, and it is difficult to meet opponents. The length of the day is suitable for sleeping, and the self-titled poem on the banana leaves is asleep.

As long as you follow this artistic conception to compose a five-character and eight-rhyme poem, there is no meaning of making things difficult at all.

It seems that Master Li is also worried that if it is so difficult to even try to post poems, he will be scolded by this year's candidates behind his back. Of course, this is just Zheng Qingluan's wishful thinking, and for others, it is still quite perverted!

Close your eyes and feel the 'see you in the light rain pond, and know the good wind'. All of a sudden, "egrets fly in desert paddy fields, and yellow orioles fly in the yin summer wood." The artistic conception can probably be experienced a few points. This time, I didn't even type a draft, and directly brushed and wrote sixteen lines of poetry on the answer sheet:

Long summer thousand chapter wood, thick yin hundred orioles;

The placket is yellow like embroidery, and the belt is green into a curtain;

The leaves are dark for a long time, and the branches are high and late;

The tip of the tongue is cut by the wind, and the rain is silky outside;

Sitting like a mica, singing can fight Xue'er;

It is difficult to keep a good sound, and the hot scene is not known;

Yangliu Sanyi Road, cherry in April;

Affectionate and annoying, write poems in paintings.

After writing, put down the pen, and the answers are all over.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, and then looked at the big leak outside, it was just a moment, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, damn it, what should I do for nearly an hour left?
