Xu He was overjoyed when he heard this, he hurriedly broke away his arm, bowed and saluted: "Please try the questions of the adults!" ”

Seeing that he agreed so simply, Li Xianling nodded secretly in his heart: "Looking at his behavior, it seems that he is not a person with no ink!" ”

Huang Youcai saw that Xu He had escaped death, and he couldn't help but feel anxious, but after thinking about it, this kid didn't go to school until he was twelve years old because of his poor family.

When entering social studies, I first learned "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Essays", then "Primary School", "Filial Piety", and then "Four Books...... That is, "The University", "The Mean", "The Analects" and "Mencius".

It doesn't seem like much, but I can recite it in three years.

But that's not the case.

During this period, the schoolchildren also had to write imitation characters and practice calligraphy, and they also had to follow the master to read and recite the scriptures they had learned word by word.

While reciting, the Master tells you what it means.

Once you have passed it, you can learn the next one.

The whole social science of Mengtong is very step-by-step.

As far as Huang Youcai knows, in the past three years, although Xu He has studied very hard, he has only just finished studying "Analects", "University" and "Mencius", and "The Mean" has not been involved at all.

The reason why he participated in the county exam this time was just that the master wanted him to adapt to the exam in advance, so he found a person to settle the guarantee and registered, in fact, he didn't expect him to pass the exam at all, after all, he didn't finish the scriptures, and the Bagu article couldn't be mentioned.

It's strange that you can pass the exam in this way.

Thinking of this, Huang Youcai made up his mind: "If Li County orders Xu He's "Four Books" for a while, even if he answers everything else very well, as long as "The Mean" will not, I will say that he brought the cheat sheet for the sake of the "Mean" scripture, and it is difficult to argue with him Xu He! ”

Here, Li County Ling saw that Xu He was ready, so he pondered for a while and asked: "[Zi said: "Three hundred poems, in a word. 】Pick ~~~~"

Xu He replied without hesitation: "[Said: Thinking is innocent! 】”

This question is very simple, from the "Analects", Li Xianling saw him answer, nodded and said: "Solution~~~~"

Xu He organized the following language to answer: "The sage said that there are more than 300 articles of the Book of Songs, and he summed it up in one sentence, answering: The mind is pure and innocent!" ”

This question is a scoring question, and most of the people who are studying in social studies can answer it.

After the end of the Li County Order's trial, the question officially began.

[Mencius said: "If you don't believe in benevolence and sage, the country will be empty."] 】~~~~~"

Xu He didn't panic at all when he heard this: "[If you are rude and righteous, you will be chaotic. If there is no political affairs, the money will be insufficient. 】”

The title of Li County's order is from the chapter of "Mencius".

The reason for this question is that the "Chapters and Verses of the Heart" is in the second half of "Mencius", and if you only read a few pages, you will never see this sentence.

But what made Li Xianling very satisfied was that Xu He answered without thinking.

Hearing this, his face finally softened slightly, and he said softly: "Maybe paraphrased?" ”

Xu He bowed down and replied: "If you don't trust people who are benevolent and virtuous, then the country will lack talents; Without propriety, the relationship between the upper and lower levels will be chaotic; If the national government is wasted, the state will not be able to use it enough. ”

This explanation is clear and clear, you know, in ancient times, reading was the patent of the high-ranking families, why? Because people have a special interpretation of the scriptures, that is, the reference books of the Four Books and the Five Classics.

If you just read the Bible but don't understand it, then reading it is the same as not reading it, and these high-ranking families are different, because they can find reference books, read books and understand them, and the natural learning effect is growing day by day, which is comparable to that of non-ordinary children.

In the national dynasty, although the situation has been alleviated, there are no good reference books in ordinary social studies, and Xu He can explain this sentence so clearly, which really impresses the officials in the court.

The so-called reading of the scriptures is the ability, and the interpretation is the real learning, and the final imperial examination is to examine your understanding of the scriptures and meanings.

Xu He can explain a sentence so simply and clearly, if all his interpretations are at this level, it means that in the future, he will be more good than others in the Bagu test.

Do you think these people can't be surprised?

Li Xianling was even happier at this time, and he nodded again and again in praise: "Not bad, not bad, the explanation is very good!" ”

But with only two questions, Xu He still has the element of luck, and Li Xianling continued to test: "[Zi said:" Foolish and good for self-use, cheap and good for self-dedicated, born in the present world, anti-ancient way: such a person, disaster and its body also. ”】！”

Huang Youcai couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, this sentence came from "The Mean", and as far as he knew, Xu He had never learned "The Mean" at all!

Thinking of this, he rolled his eyes and smiled: "I didn't expect to be fooled by you to pass two questions, my lord, but one can not be three, I guess he will never be able to answer this question!" ”

Xu He glanced at him with disdain, and replied fluently: "[If you are not the Son of Heaven, you will not discuss etiquette, you will not be systematic, and you will not be examined. Get off the train today on the same track, the book is the same, and the line is the same. Although he has his position, he has no virtue and does not dare to be courteous; Although there is virtue. There is no place for him, and he does not dare to be courteous. Zi said: "I said Xia Li, but it is not enough. I learn Yin Li, there is Song Cunyan. I learn the Zhou ceremony, and I use it today, and I follow the week. ”】”

As soon as these words came out, Huang Youcai was dumbfounded, and he looked at Xu He incredulously with his mouth wide open: "You, you, how did you read "The Mean"? ”

This time it was Xu He's turn to sneer: "The words of the sage, the heart yearns for them, if the master doesn't teach it, can't he learn by himself?" ”

"Good!" Li County Ling Jinshi was born, he likes the most sensitive and studious person, he saw Xu He's answer to the flow and had already given birth to a love for talent, plus listening to Huang Youcai's meaning, this little guy has not studied "The Mean" in social science, but he can still answer this question, which shows that he has secretly put a lot of effort into his daily life.

At this time, a question inexplicably emerged in the hearts of everyone at the scene: "Will such a sensitive, studious, and well-versed person carry a cheat sheet in the examination room?" You must know that the content of the cheat sheet "The Essence of the Four Books" is the content of the scriptures of the four books, and Xu He is so powerful at paraphrasing, can he still recite the scriptures themselves? ”

What do students are mainly examined in the national imperial examination and the county government examination?

Isn't it just that you're not familiar with the scriptures?

Now Li County has made three questions, Xu He's questions are like fluent, in some remote counties, just rush this performance, and the county order can directly let him pass the county test.

At this time, this is exactly what Li Xianling thought in his heart: "Xu He, this official sees that you have a fluent answer, and if you don't think about it, you don't need to be entrained like "The Essence of the Four Books", someone must have framed you!" ”

After speaking, he glared fiercely at Huang Youcai, who was as pale as dirt on the side!

Then he turned his head to Xu He and said: "Since you are familiar with the scriptures, this official will make the decision on the spot, and you will be taken in the county test!" ”

The people around were in an uproar when they heard this, and the guy who was just about to be thrown into prison turned things around, and was appreciated by the county magistrate, and was exempted from the county exam on the spot...... It's hard to put into words.

Just when everyone was sighing, suddenly Huang Youcai gritted his teeth and shouted: "Adults can't, the first test of the county exam is an eight-share article, this Xu He can't do the current article at all, can you let him pass the county exam!" ”

Li Xianling had long been unhappy with him Huang Youcai, even a fool knew that he was being used as a gun, if it wasn't for that thunder, he would have become this guy's accomplice.

If it weren't for the fact that Huang Youcai's eldest brother was the same year as himself, he would have taken it down a long time ago, but he didn't know it, like a dog skin plaster, sticking to himself, which really made him really angry.

"Bastard, do you want you to teach me how to do things?" Li Xianling rebuked angrily.

At this moment, a voice suddenly said slowly: "My lord, Huang Youcai has an objection to this, the student doesn't dare to let the adult be slandered by someone with ulterior motives to shield the kid, the kid dares to ask the adult to take back his life, and let the kid take the county test!" ”

"Hiss~~" The other candidates who were waiting to enter the exam gasped, and the county magistrates had already spoken, is this guy stupid? He even took the initiative to take the exam......

When Li Xianling heard this, he glanced at Xu He deeply, and couldn't help but show a solemn look on his face and said, "Okay, this official promises you!" Give you a chance to prove yourself! I hope you don't disappoint this official by solving the problem! ”
