With a good background.

Basically, it's half the same as a fraction of the success.

Xu Xing was also glad that he was enrolled in the Weijing Academy at the moment, not in another small private school.

The invisible benefits of the Great Academy alone are enough to make ordinary people envious.

The little official admonished Xu Xing some more precepts in the examination room, and then turned to leave.

"Xuan-Geng ugly."

A small wooden board three fingers wide is nailed to the door beam of the examination room, on which the examination number is written.

Xu Xing glanced at it a few times, and immediately understood the distribution law of the examination room.

The examination room of the examination shed should be divided into several areas according to "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang". The region he was in at this time was the Xuanzi District, and there was also a row relationship within the same region.

The relationship between the ranks and columns is expressed by the stems of the heavens and the earth.

He is located in the Xuanzi District at the moment.

The examination room is cramped, about two feet wide and seven feet long, with thick walls on the left and right.

The interior is simply furnished, except for the two braziers near the door, which is a detachable case.

After placing the table horizontally and placing the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Xu Xing picked up the prepared food basket again, took out a pancake from it, and gnawed it carefully.

When he had eaten seventy percent of his fill, the clerk knocked on the door and handed him the test papers and scratch paper.

The test paper is specially made by the county government, with a red line and a horizontal Douge, a total of more than 10 sheets, 12 lines per page, and 2 crosses per line.

There is nothing special about scratch paper, except that when writing on scratch paper, you should not write the answer outside the sealing line, and the handwriting must be in italics, except for the title and letterhead.

Otherwise, it will be disposed of as zero points.

After washing the oil stains on his hands with the bamboo tube water that had been made in advance, and drying his hands, Xu Xing began to pick up the pen and wait.

A scribe came over with a sign lantern.

The first question is written on the lamp, the title of the four books, "If the gentleman is not heavy, he is not powerful, he is not solid in learning, the Lord is faithful, and those who have no friends and do not know themselves, do not be afraid to change." ”

This sentence comes from the study of the Analects.

It is a sentence that Confucius said.

The gist is: a gentleman, if he is not dignified, has no majesty, and even if he reads, what he has learned will not be firm. We should act according to the two virtues of loyalty and faithfulness. Do not make friends with unfaithful and unbelievers. If you make a mistake, you must not be afraid to correct it.

Seeing this, Xu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it is not a cut-off question.

Among the four book questions, the cut-off question is the most difficult.

The difficulty lies in the fact that both sentences are the righteousness of the saints.

And to do eight shares, you must not violate the teachings of the saints and Zhu Xi's commentary on them.

The cut-off question stitches together the meaning of the two paragraphs ......, and the question must not only explain the meaning of the exam question, but also not violate the ...... of the sage's teachings.

But the title of the four books of the Eight Classics has absolutely no such worries.

The county test is more basic.

Xu Xing thought about it for a while, and came up with a solution.

He wrote down: "A gentleman is a gentleman who learns and has the quality to do his best." ”

This answer is an answer to the exam question.

A gentleman should pay more attention to "quality" in learning and practice the morality he respects.

And "noble quality" is echoed with the "heavy power" that the sage said.

Don't stand out, don't rush into .......

After so many days of cultivation in the Weijing Academy, coupled with the blessing of the white life grid [Erudite and Knowledgeable], he read a book for one day, which is better than ordinary people reading for ten days. Therefore, it is not difficult for him to write a proper solution.

Next.

Xu Xing rummaged through the imperial examination model text, and explained the problem with the sage's oral kiss.

Thousands of words were sprinkled.

It's just an hour or so, and it has been written by Xu Xing.

As for the second Pentateuch question later, he chose the "Spring and Autumn" question to answer.

There are a total of five questions in the Five Classics, which are divided into one for the Book of Books, the Book of Changes, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, and the Spring and Autumn Period. Candidates can choose their own answers to the scriptures, and they do not have to answer all of them. It is equivalent to a professional class.

The third is the trial poem.

The trial poem originated in the Tang Dynasty, and the most famous is Bai Juyi's "Farewell to the Ancient Grass". It's just that after Wang Anshi Xining Xingxue, the trial post poem was abolished in the imperial examination, and it was not until the Qianlong period that the trial post poem was restored in the imperial examination.

However, the Ming and Qing dynasties did not pay attention to poetry.

As long as the rhyme of the test poem is not wrong, there is no heavy words, and it can be avoided well.

This question is basically a form question, and it is not difficult.

Speaking of shreddedness.

Xu Xing checked the eight strands he had made again.

Seeing that there were no errors or omissions in the eight strands, I began to prepare to transcribe the test paper.

He recuperated and worshipped God for a while.

At this meeting, some candidates have already gone to the public court to hand in the papers, and asked Wu County to order the papers, which is much earlier than the end of the exam.

Xu Xing was not flustered, and was still calm.

Submit the paper in advance, and there will be no increase in points, for the sake of temporary brilliance, it is not necessary.

Time passed slowly.

The sky was getting darker, and some of the examination rooms were lit with candles.

Candlelight lit.

"Whew!"

When the pen fell, Xu Xing carefully dried the handwriting on the test paper to prevent the ink from staining the test paper. If it is a dirty volume, it will directly fall off the list, even if the article written is splendid, there is no chance.

When the time was approaching, the officials gently sounded the gong to remind them.

Seeing this, Xu Xing was not waiting, and the county test was the end of the drumming when Shen.

He got up, took the test paper and walked to the courtroom, where he presented it to the scribe who was already standing aside.

Although he also submitted the paper ahead of schedule this time.

But there is an advantage to handing in the papers at this time, you don't have to queue up when you go out. For if he waited for the scribe to collect the papers, there would be at least four or five hundred people who would go out of the examination room with him.

Not everyone is a quick thinker, and even if it takes one day for the exam, for most people, this little time is not enough. Sometimes, a sentence, a paragraph, has to be pondered and meditated for several hours.

After handing in the test papers, Xu Xing did not leave in a hurry, and gave Wu County a salute according to the ceremony.

After this county test, if he wins the list, Wu County Ling can also be regarded as his teacher.

It's also a part of the network.

"Bring me his article."

Surprisingly, Wu County, who was napping in the public court, saw Xu Xing handing in the papers, and was a little angry, waved his hand to the scribe, and asked him to submit the test papers.

When the scribe heard this, he was stunned.

It stands to reason that the prefectural order will only be interested in the test papers of candidates who have submitted their papers first.

Because these people are all people with excellent literary thinking and quick thinking.

But—

Xu Xing counted down to hand in the papers.......

However, he did not hesitate, picked up the test paper with both hands and handed it to Wu Xianling.

"These eight strands seem to be equal, but if you look closely, there are also merits."

"Come on, take the pen."

Wu Xianling smiled slightly and drew a red O on the test paper.

In order to prevent cheating, in the imperial examination, the examiner does not directly evaluate the merits of the papers, but expresses them with certain symbols.

The usual symbols have five.

They are represented by five symbols: "circle" (O), "point" (△), point (,), "straight" (|), and "cross" (X).

The red circle means that the test paper has been admitted.

Relationship!

Background!

Xu Xing was shocked again.

Although he knew that Dean Liu and the others would not go to greet County Magistrate Wu for the sake of him as a student, he saw County Magistrate Wu so ...... with his own eyes.
