Chapter 0071: The Tribute Courtyard is Impure
After getting the exam questions, most of the candidates couldn't wait to write hard.
The first test is the three ways of the scriptures, the so-called scriptures are nothing more than the interpretation of the scriptures, the Southern Song Dynasty imperial examination is the prototype of the Ming Dynasty Baguwen, because it is still in the early stage, it has not evolved into the later Ming and Qing dynasties as sick, candidates still have a lot of free space.
Since the eight-strand essay has not yet been perfected, Zhu Chengjun guesses that if he answers according to the paradigm of the eight-strand text, will the structure of the article appear more rigorous, and if the novel views that are blended into the later civilizations are used as the finishing touch, supplemented by the carving of the text and the tone of Confucius and Mencius, can this style give the reader a refreshing feeling? In this regard, Zhu Chengjun has no bottom in his heart.
Just when Zhu Chengjun was pondering, a figure floated over and covered a small part of the sun, it turned out that the chief examiner was idle and came to inspect the field, and the chief examiner saw that Zhu Chengjun hadn't written a word, so he couldn't help but shake his head, with a look of disappointment.
He has seen too many candidates who can't lift their pens in the examination room, but it is the first time he has seen them like Zhu Chengjun, who is as calm as Zhu Chengjun. Is it pretending to be calm or calm...... As you will see later, you can't hide it.
After the examiner turned around and left, Zhu Chengjun remembered what he was thinking a moment ago, and recently he had been studying hard about the scriptures and unconsciously seemed to be influenced by the words of the scriptures, and he really regarded himself as an exam-taking student of this era.
At the beginning, there was a transaction with Lu Zuan that asked him to get a famous identity for himself, and the registration reference was nothing more than a formality, although it was a formality, but the words and sentences of the article still had to be written word by word.
Although it doesn't have to be brilliant, but what is written must at least have the appearance of an article, if the words are not smooth, the righteousness does not make sense, this is not clearly embarrassing the backstage fraudsters.
In order to cooperate with this fraud, Zhu Chengjun decided to answer well.
Reasoning in the tone of Confucius and Mencius? We've heard too much, it's not difficult.
These days, Zhu Chengjun has been making up for the scriptures, learning the style and skills of ancient writing, and writing a passable article to deal with, which should not be difficult for him now. Fortunately, the Southern Song Dynasty imperial examination has not been examined for many years - the original text is written silently, and it is all some rote memorization...... Let's not go through the motions, no matter how tough the backstage is, it won't help you. The things that are dictated in the original text are one and two are two, unlike the article that picks and chooses words that are pleasing to the eye, and can also argue with other examiners about the merits of each word.
Knowing the past and present lives of Jingyi and the future life, Zhu Chengjun decided to answer the questionnaire according to the format of the eight-strand text.
Although the eight-strand framework is very constrained by the self-play of feudal students, in Zhu Chengjun's view, it is very likely that ancient scholars underestimated the breadth and profundity of Chinese characters, and resented the structure of the article when they did not get home from their own study. After reading the accumulation of 10,000 books and traveling 10,000 miles to become enlightened, you can come back and write according to the requirements of the eight shares, and you can also write good articles that shake the past and the present.
Playing new tricks within the established framework should be regarded as a kind of ability.
The eight-strand stylistic format is composed of breaking the topic, undertaking the topic, starting the lecture, entering the topic, starting the stock, middle stock, back stock, and bundle strand.
After setting the point of view and the tone of the essay he wanted to express, Zhu Chengjun compared the eight-strand format, wrote the carefully carved and processed sentences on white paper, and was not in a hurry to copy them on the examination paper. After a lot of work, Zhu Chengjun found that it took nearly an hour, and I have to say that the carving of words and sentences is not blessed with talent and writing skills, and it is extremely difficult to write an article.
"Puff ......," followed by a foul stench that turned around and drifted over the wall.
Is it appropriate to pay tribute in front of the saints? Of course not! Zhu Chengjun hurriedly plugged his nostrils, glared at the colleagues next door hatefully, and had already greeted his ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.
"Tuk!" The sound of a stamp on the exam paper.
Presumably, the indecent behavior of the colleague next door happened to be caught by the passing examiner, and it was okay to be disrespectful to the saint, and the examiner pinched his nose and unceremoniously stamped the brother next door with a poke.
"Uh......h Woo...... "The brother next door almost couldn't cry.
There is such a red stamp on the scroll, even if the splendid article is no different from waste paper.
Zhu Chengjun scolded secretly, it stinks so much that I deserve your kid's future to be cut off early.
"Poof......
Come back! There's no end to it! Zhu Chengjun was so angry that he almost jumped up.
"Bang dang...... "It turned out that it wasn't, it was our old Zhu who misunderstood his brother."
"Ahh …… Woo...... Woo ......" The brother next door looked up to the sky and roared, and the roar pierced the sky.
The brother next door collapsed, his eyes glazed over, foaming at the mouth, and convulsions.
The examiner gave the officials a look, and the two officials were about to take the candidate next door away.
The guy next door who had a lot of and urine was taken away, Zhu Chengjun breathed a long sigh of relief, accidentally knocked off the paper ball that stuffed his nostrils, suddenly smelled a foul smell, and hurriedly stuffed it back. I complained in my heart that these two officials were too disrespectful, so I took the gong bucket away together, and didn't do anything with our money for nothing, where is the faith!
Although the exam questions have been answered, he is in a hurry to copy the exam papers, in case he spills some ink, it is also a dirty paper, in order to keep the volume neat and tidy, Zhu Chengjun has to be patient and carefully copy.
"Huh......" Zhu Chengjun breathed a sigh of relief, and it took nearly three quarters of an hour to finally transcribe it.
Pack up your things, I don't have much experience for the first time, and I don't know if I can submit the paper in advance.
Zhu Chengjun swept left and right, if he could hand in the papers in advance, he could leave as soon as he went, just because the environment he was in was too bad. After another quarter of an hour, the brother Taichong on the opposite side raised his hand, and after the examiner took the test paper, the man walked to the place where the candidates rested under the 'escort' of the official officer.
With experienced candidates as role models, Zhu Chengjun has learned from him.
The examiner seemed to have eyes behind him, and Zhu Chengjun walked over as soon as he raised his hand.
Zhu Chengjun bowed slightly to the examiner with a smile, the examiner seemed to have a good impression of himself, roughly skimmed the exam papers, his face sank instantly, and he looked at Zhu Chengjun who left the examination booth under the escort of the official with surprised eyes.
"There are meals in the backyard canteen, and Zhu Gongzi can go over by himself." The official said with a smile.
"Do you know the difference?" Zhu Chengjun saw that the officer's hand was not extended, so he hurriedly took out two dimes of silver and handed it to him.
"Zhu Gongzi is generous, how can he not recognize it." The officer's smiling face became more kind.
The name of the daredevils spread among them early in the morning, and the silver rewarded was finally not spent in vain, and the messenger took some money or did something, and there were people in the tribute courtyard for the past three days, and most of the troubles could be avoided.
"If you have to take care of the adults, after the exam, there will be a follow-up report." Zhu Chengjun said very interestingly.
"It's easy to say...... the official smiled heartily, and then said: "Someone still has official business, Zhu Gongzi please take care of himself." ”
Zhu Chengjun watched the official leave, who knew if he had long eyes in the back of his head, and he was under the eaves, so it was not strange that there were many people.
When I came to the cafeteria, I smelled the smell of food before I entered the door.
Zhu Chengjun unconsciously touched his belly, only to find that he was really hungry.
Walking into the cafeteria, Zhu Chengjun saw that the so-called meals were green and white rice, green onions mixed with tofu, and green vegetables. To be able to make such a simple ingredient with all the color, flavor and taste, the craftsmanship of the back kitchen man is absolutely amazing.
"Uncle, I'm tired." There is no free lunch in the world, and Zhu Chengjun stuffed a small corner of silver to his husband.
The man's eyes lit up, he has been selling food professionally for many years, and most of the money he collects is copper plates, but this time he can collect money.
"Haha...... Childe is a person with a heart. The guy had a bright smile on his face, looked Zhu Chengjun up and down with a smile in his eyes, and complimented: "The old man sees that the son's spirit is extraordinary, and he will definitely be able to raise people in high school this time." ”
The man's hand did not tremble, and the amount he gave was definitely worthy of the silver he received.
"That's up to Big Bergie." Zhu Chengjun smiled politely.
Zhu Chengjun took the food and sat down casually, and the candidates who still didn't see the candidates who had finished the exam came one after another, Zhu Chengjun was suspicious in his heart, after taking the exam for so long, wouldn't they be hungry?
Zhu Chengjun took a bite of the food casually, the salt taste was enough, and the oil was estimated to be not a drop.
"This brother Tai, you don't mind being at the same table." The young candidate who was the first to hand in the paper came over with his meal and asked.
Zhu Chengjun got up and hugged his fists, and said with a smile: "Brother, please take a seat." ”
The first candidate to hand in the paper glanced at Zhu Chengjun and asked knowingly: "Zhicheng below, dare to ask your honorable name." Zhu Chengjun saw that Fang Zhicheng was acting reluctantly, and a trace of discoloration flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Fang is polite, under Zhu Chengjun." Zhu Chengjun pretended not to see it, and said in his heart: What does he mean by this? It seems understandable that he was the first to submit the papers, and he followed closely behind, since ancient times, he was inferior to literati, not to mention that he was still a competitor in the same state examination.
Fang Zhicheng nodded lightly and said: "In this state test, Brother Zhu is the second person to hand in the papers, and I will see that Brother Zhu is handy this time, and he will definitely be able to win the championship in one fell swoop." ”
The first place in the state test is Xie Yuangong, which is a good thing with infinite glory.
This young man named Fang Zhicheng did not have a good first impression on himself, and congratulated others on winning the championship with his heart, who believed it. People are not good animals of others, Zhu Chengjun is not stupid enough to say thank you or something like that, he smiled and said: "The first time I participated in the scientific examination, I came to experience the experience with the attitude of giving it a try. ”
"Haha, Brother Zhu is polite." Fang Zhicheng smiled loudly, quite smug.
The two had an awkward conversation without a word, during which Fang Zhicheng inquired about his origin in a different way, which was quite a bit of a household registration check. The comer didn't seem to be good, and Zhu Chengjun suddenly became vigilant in his heart.
The meal was hard to swallow, and I had to eat it so that I didn't go hungry, and the meal was eaten slowly, very slowly.
It wasn't until the two of them finished eating that they saw the candidates walking into the cafeteria one after another to eat.
Zhu Chengjun looked up at the sky, and he didn't know when it was already the sun.
At this point, the paper was handed over and left, and the meal was already cold.
Candidates sat around a table to exchange their feelings after the exam.
"Alas...... If I could get the outline of the scriptures and meanings sold by Qiming Books a few days earlier, I would definitely be sure of it this time. ”
"Who's to say it's not."
"Don't talk about it after the exam, there are two more games, brother Tai doesn't have to be discouraged."
…………
It wasn't until the beginning of the sunset and the sound of the gong for the closing of the paper that the number of candidates entering the cafeteria increased significantly, and they couldn't sit down. Zhu Chengjun didn't mean to exchange his exam experience with this group of candidates, so he consciously got up and gave up his seat.
As soon as Zhu Chengjun walked out of the cafeteria, he saw the figure of his father Zhu Hanmo.
"Little Brother Zhu......" Fan Jin trotted all the way over.
Zhu Chengjun saw that Fan Jin wanted to speak and stopped, this old boy shouldn't have committed any taboos again.
"Little brother...... Can you lend me some money, my plate is ......," Fan Jin said.
"Little things." Zhu Chengjun happily gave Fan Jin a few corners of broken silver.
"Thank you for your kindness...... The old man remembered. Fan Jin bowed deeply to Zhu Chengjun.
"Brother Ji Pu will dine first, and he will go first."
Inadvertently, Zhu Chengjun noticed that Fang Zhicheng was standing in the corner of the dark and staring at him, and Zhu Chengjun read a strong hatred in his eyes. It seems that he and he are meeting for the first time, where does the hatred come from, is it jealousy that he is the second handover, and is regarded by him as the strongest competitor?
is hated by everyone for no reason, and then you have to deal with it mentally.
With all kinds of experiences, Zhu Chengjun knows that this tribute academy is not a clean place, and the candidates are not simple.
