Chapter 33: Eight Strands

After the body search, the next step is to go to get the wooden card, the wooden card says the examination shed to which they belong, Xia Yuan picked it up and took a look, it read: Renyin examination shed.

Xia Ru poked his head and took a look, recalled the approximate location of this examination shed, and then said: "Your examination shed is good, that location is in the shade, sitting in the south and facing the north, not afraid of the dazzling sun, it is a good place." ”

"Really?"

Xia Yuan didn't understand much, and asked again: "Where is my uncle's examination shed?" ”

"Oh, I'm on the Gengzi, it's also a good place, sitting north and facing south, with good lighting, and it's warm when the sun is shining."

“......”

Xia Yuan understood it, and co-authoring was a good place in the eyes of this uncle.

It's all up to you.

At this time, Xia Ru patted him on the shoulder and said with a serious face: "Brother Yuan, don't be nervous after entering the examination room, calm down, just treat it as an ordinary writing article." ”

The atmosphere was a little solemn, and Xia Yuan couldn't help but get upright, and nodded: "Well, I know." ”

"Ahem, don't talk about the two students, go to their respective examination booths quickly." A blue-robed official behind the bookcase coughed lightly, interrupting the conversation between the two and urging them to hurry in.

"This goes, this goes..."

Xia Ru responded again and again, pulling Xia Yuan away from here, and before leaving, Xia Yuan glanced back at the patch on the official's clothes.

Ming official uniforms, civil officials embroider birds, military attaches embroider beasts.

Different grades correspond to different animals.

He knew that.

But the man's man's patch seemed to have a duck embroidered in it.

How many officials is a duck?

No, there are no ducks.

Carrying the examination basket to find the Renyin examination shed, Xia Yuan raised his eyes and looked, good guy, this is also a little simple, cramped and cramped, and the area is about the same size as the cubicle of a public toilet.

There is a wooden board sandwiched between the walls on both sides, which is the desk used for the exam for a while, and there is a small earthen kang inside.

The area of the kang is small, so it's okay to sit on, but it's definitely not enough to sleep.

However, it's not that you can't sleep, take off that board and put it together with a low earthen kang, and the area can be doubled.

But it's still not enough.

Xia Yuan stretched out his hand and gestured the distance, he couldn't stretch his legs when he slept, and he could only curl up if he wanted to sleep.

What about the good talent ceremony, the good selection of materials for the country, how the Ming court treats the future pillars of the court?

After complaining secretly for a while, Xia Yuan sat down on the clay kang, put the exam basket on the table, and then took out the inkstone and began to study the ink.

After he finished grinding the ink, he began to be in a daze.

After a long time, I finally heard a few crisp gongs, and then the sky was faintly bright, and the sky was glowing with a touch of morning glow.

After a while, a few clerks came over with signs and handed out a few blank sheets of paper to each candidate, and it was Xia Yuan's turn, he took the white paper, looked at the wooden sign and looked at it, what is this.

The title is "Inferential"

The word Buddha means don't, so the meaning of this topic is not to be rude to others.

This understanding is very reasonable and logical.

But unfortunately not.

Fortunately, his predecessor left him a head of the Four Books and Five Classics, but after a little thought, Xia Yuan found out the source of these four words.

Mencius said: The etiquette of indecency, the righteousness of injustice, the righteousness of adulthood.

Damn, the ancient imperial examination is really evil, this topic is stunned to cut off different paragraphs and put them together.

If it weren't for the inheritance left by his predecessor, he wouldn't have figured out where this question came from if he had given him a hundred heads.

The core essence of the Bagu text is to speak on behalf of the sage, if you don't know the source of the original sentence of the title, how can you talk about helping the sage speak.

Now that we know what the original sentence of this sentence is, we have to focus on this indecent ceremony, the meaning of injustice, and the adult Buddha will start to solve the problem.

Problem solving?

Fuck, I won't.

Thinking so in his heart, but Xia Yuan still began to think about how to solve the problem very seriously, he couldn't just sit in a daze like this, in case he thought of it.

After a while, he was stunned, because it seemed that he had really thought it out, and such a passage came to his mind.

"Etiquette is practiced, it is more expensive than knowing etiquette, I know etiquette by knowing it, so it is not etiquette; Righteousness is appropriate, in line with the appropriateness of knowing righteousness, I am aware of it and clear righteousness, so it is not righteous. ”

After a short period of stunnedness, Xia Yuan raised his pen and wrote this passage on paper, and then he found that he was probably, maybe, maybe he had broken the question?

Not only did he solve the problem, but this question seemed to be solved very well, and when he saw these two paragraphs, he even couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in his heart, as if he was applauding his excellent problem-solving.

The most difficult thing about the eight-strand essay is to solve the problem, after the problem is solved, the following topic is much simpler, as long as you write around your own ideas to solve the problem.

Xia Yuan held the brush for a while, and the thoughts in his brain seemed to be not exhausted, and large paragraphs of sentences came out.

He never thought that the legendary Baguwen would be so easy, but why this happened, he was still a little confused.

Xia Yuan knows his own family affairs, and these sentences are definitely not something he can come up with.

After all, in my previous life, I had to rack my brains to write an essay, let alone write eight strands.

Thinking about it, he can only give credit to his predecessor.

That fierce man who was the first in the high school exam at the age of fifteen, in the memory he left himself, in addition to the four books and five classics, as well as various commentaries on the scriptures, the rest of his life is also full of some reading and writing, making eight pictures.

It can be seen that this buddy is definitely a scholar, and he is also a hard-working scholar.

And this scholar brother is immortal, and he is helping himself in the dark.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuan couldn't help but shudder, and quickly shook his head to expel this idea, which made people panic.

After stabilizing his mind, he didn't think about it further, picked up the pen and continued to struggle, and I don't know how long it was, and nearly a thousand words were already on the paper.

While carefully drying the ink, he read his own articles, which he could understand, and the style was completely in line with the format of the eight-strand text, without a single mistake, and it was catchy to read, with gorgeous rhetoric, but the whole was empty.

Simple explanation, said a lot, polite, and righteous, but all useless.

"That's done, isn't it?"

Xia Yuan was also a little unsure, but it was the same thing if he couldn't succeed, and then he put the written article aside, and then began to be in a daze again.

I don't know what's going on with my uncle.
