Chapter 100: During the Examination

Paste the scriptures, the Moyi questions did quite smoothly, 20 stickers made 18 questions, there are two remote questions that I haven't seen, I can't do it, and there is no nonsense, so I left it blank directly, so that at least I can give the examiner a good impression, the so-called knowledge is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and it is knowing.

Of the fifteen Moyi questions, 12 or 3 were made with confidence, and two or three were not sure of the standard explanations, so they even wrote down the meaning they understood with suspicion.

After finishing the posting scriptures and the Moyi question, the time has only passed for half an hour.

Let's look at the trial poem again, "Zhilan was born in the deep forest, and there is no one without her." ”

There are many poems describing Zhilan, according to his memory, most of which are written by alluding to beautiful people who live in seclusion and have talents that they have never met, but there are not many that fit the topic.

After thinking about it for a while, he still let him grind out a song, writing:

"Zhilan is not prosperous, and all the grass is gone. Although the sun shines in the spring, the sad autumn moon is high.

The frost is early, and the green is afraid to rest. If there is no breeze blowing, who will send the fragrance? ”

After writing it, he was quite satisfied with this poem, and it is said that even if he doesn't get a high score in ten, he can at least get six or seven points, seven or eight points, so as not to lag behind.

After completing this test poem, he paid attention to the time, and now it has only been an hour, and there is still plenty of time, so far, everything is going well in this answer, and he looks at the policy question.

It's just a five-point policy question, as long as the answer is not too absurd, you can always get a few points, and most candidates won't spend too much time on it, and Jiang Yunzi is no exception.

Almost without thinking, he picked up his pen and began to answer this policy question on the paper, of course, he wisely did not really popularize astronomical and geographical knowledge to Liu Chaozong and the examiners, and he just explained the existence and operation of the sun, moon and stars with the general trend, so that it was attributed to the gods and monsters of the heavenly court.

It was only when he explained that the rivers did not overflow, and he gave the other party a little more scientific knowledge, and he replied on the test paper that the water of the rivers will eventually fall into the vast sea, and the water in the vast sea will evaporate to form water vapor, which will drift over the continent with the wind, and finally turn into rain and fall, and then merge into the east of the river and flow into the sea, and so on.

Such a materialist explanation is really rare here, and the meaning is simple and clear, easy to accept, and will not be regarded as heresy and receive zero points.

After answering this policy question, the next step is the last and most important article. Jiang Yun was going to go all out in one go, and then looked at the topic.

"Spiders build webs on the branches of trees. The wind suddenly rose and blew off its filaments. Spiders don't be lazy, and they will be camped again and again. People are not reluctant, not as good as spiders. ”

His gaze finally fell on this sage's words. In the title, this sentence is the most simple and straightforward, the meaning is very clear, there is perseverance, diligently exhortation, there is also not afraid of hardships, indomitable meaning, if you write this article, it is easy to grasp the main idea, not to deviate from the topic.

And this sentence appears in the first sentence of the question, generally speaking, this is the direction of the composition that the examiner prefers, and it seems that Liu Chaozong also has the intention of exhorting the students with this.

However, such a seemingly simple topic is actually more difficult to essay, and the difficulty lies in the difficulty of finding another way to write new ideas.

There are so many candidates, everyone writes like this, and the meaning of the theme is almost the same, why can you be selected, and others will be dethroned, unless you have a really outstanding literary talent, but there are so many candidates, and there will be no fewer people with outstanding literary talents, so this undoubtedly increases the difficulty of standing out.

Therefore, I am afraid that candidates who are a little ambitious will not choose this straightforward and clear sentence as the main direction of the essay, after all, there are other options.

For example, another sentence in the title: "Things are inherently natural, and things can be caused." Nothing else, nothing else. "It's also a good direction for essays. Although the meaning of this sentence is quite subtle and obscure, it is precisely because of this that it is easier to imagine and play, taking such a strange way, although there is a risk of taking the sword to the edge, but if it is written well, the achievement of the worm-shaped article, then it is easy to get a high look from the examiner, and it is not difficult to be selected.

If you take the ordinary way, even if you write an insect-shaped article, it is likely to be unknown to everyone, and it is risky to take the strange way, but once you write an insect-shaped article, it must be unusual, attract the attention of the examiner, and it is easy to stand out and be selected.

Which of these two choices should be chosen? Jiang Yun hesitated to weigh it here.

If it was before, it would have been best for him to be safe, follow the mind of the chief examiner Liu Chaozong, and write an inspirational essay with rules and regulations, but now, he is afraid that it will not work.

He has offended Wang Xuan miserably now, if he takes the ordinary road, even if he is a little brilliant, he is very likely to be deposed by Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan is the deputy chief examiner of this county examination, most of the papers in the primary election will fall into his hands, fall into the hands of Liu Chaozong, he Jiang Yun still has a little chance, if it falls into the hands of Wang Xuan, it is almost inevitable to be dethroned. He couldn't take that risk.

Therefore, if you want to seek a glimmer of life, you must take risks, do not take the ordinary road, and choose "things are intrinsic, things are available." Nothing else, nothing else. "Such a more remote and obscure topic to elaborate on the play, is the most appropriate, only the sword to go to the front, in order to fight hard, even if the volume finally fell into Wang Xuan's hands, but it also made him jealous, dare not fall rashly.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun had already made a choice in his heart, so he started from "things are intrinsic, and things are good." Nothing else, nothing can't" as the direction of the composition, because in his opinion, this sentence is the most subtle, mysterious and obscure, which should make many candidates daunted, and there should be very few people who choose this as the direction of the composition, and if he does this, no matter whether the essay is successful or not, at least there will be an unconventional effect.

He made a decision, and was about to remove the paper and begin to ponder the opening question, when suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, remembered something, and his eyes fell on the first sentence of the question of the paper again.

"Spiders build webs on the branches of trees. The wind suddenly rose and blew off its filaments. Spiders don't be lazy, and they will be camped again and again. People are not reluctant, not as good as spiders. ”

Looking at this plain and simple but heavy sage's words, his eyes flashed with brilliance, and the expression between his eyebrows changed.

After a long time, he said to himself, it seems that I had better choose this sentence to compose.

After a moment of silence, he finally did not hesitate any longer, picked up the wolf's pen, dipped it in ink, and then wrote it on the unrolled scratch paper.

"Praise! The heart of the spider is web-building! The worm is like this, and so is the man. Those who set great ambitions in ancient times will not only have supernatural talents, but also perseverance......"

I chose the direction of the composition, and this is undoubtedly very easy to expound, I saw that his expression was focused, his thoughts were like springs, and his pen could not stop wandering on the manuscript paper, sprinkled with joy, and there was no sign of stopping for a long time.

Next to him, the old schoolboy can grind out the test post poem, the question has not been done yet, for the test post poem he has just completed, he is still more satisfied, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to continue answering the question in one go, when his eyes glanced at Jiang Yun next to him.

Seeing the other party bowing his head and concentrating, the old schoolboy showed a little surprise on his face, this little brother is not slow to do the question, has he already started to write that article.

However, the corners of his mouth soon showed a few disapproving smiles, this little brother is still inexperienced, looking at him like this, he must have chosen a sentence that is easier to write, such as the first sentence of Lu Sheng's sentence about spiders.

In his opinion, Lu Sheng's spider words are indeed simple and simple, with a clear meaning, and it is easy to write according to this sentence, and it is convenient to spread out, and there is no risk of going off topic, which is very easy to write.

However, it is precisely because of this that everyone chooses this easy way to write, and if you follow the crowd and write the same, it will be difficult to get ahead. If you think about it, those examiners look at such a cookie-cutter article, and it's okay to read one or two articles, but if you read too much, you won't be upset and nauseated, unless you can write flowers, otherwise it will be difficult to get into the eyes of the examiners, and it is very likely that you will be dethroned.

In his opinion, Jiang Yun is such a young man who has just debuted, and he doesn't understand the reason, so he didn't think about it clearly, and picked an easy sentence and started writing, but he didn't know that his way of writing like this was equivalent to half of the failure at the beginning.

But maybe the other party's talent is limited, and only by writing like this can he write something, if he wants to choose other sentences, be ingenious, and write different articles, he can't write it.

The old schoolboy can understand in his heart, don't look at the more than 2,000 candidates who signed up, it looks scary, in fact, it has really read the school for a few years, and understands the meaning of the scriptures, and there are not too many, most of them may be reading the school for a few years, and they recognize a few words with the intention of hitting the luck, and they came to the exam, like this rookie, if he wants to write a different article, it is also difficult for a strong man, maybe he can't understand the meaning of other topics, he doesn't write according to this simple, what else can he do?

At this moment, Jiang Yun has become such a rookie in his eyes, he shook his head secretly, this little brother is no use in the county test this time, young man, let's suffer more setbacks.

He felt sorry for Jiang Yun here, but he didn't expect that he, an old schoolboy who had been trapped in the field house for many years, didn't seem to be qualified to point fingers at others and talk about these experiences.

After the old schoolboy glanced at it a few times, he didn't look at it much, and then continued to bury his head in his own questions, and when he saw the question of the problem, he was a little dumbfounded.
