Every student from the Jiangnan Tribute Academy out, all cover their noses and walk around a fat man, the smell of this goods is too difficult for people to accept.
Zhu Pingan looked at the fat man with a snotty nose three metres away, couldn’t bear it and said:
“Brother Xue, it’s useless to be sad when things have come to this, it’s better to fill up your stomach first, I’ll be the host.”
Zhu Pingan just finished saying this, then heard three metres away that snot a handful of tears a river of fat man ow a voice, lying on the side of the road and vomit up.
Erm, it seems like he shouldn’t have brought up topics related to food.
In the fat man’s bitter plea, Zhu Pingan finally did not leave the fat man alone, but still kicked the fat man to the inn, let the shopkeeper sent to the fat man’s room, so that the fat man will be from top to bottom good brush, do not whole like a humanoid biochemical weapon.
The fat man in the upstairs scrubbing time, Zhu Pingan in his room sitting by the window reading books. The imperial examination questions are limited to the four books, read a few more times to do a few more points of certainty.
When the fat man finished scrubbing and changed into clean clothes and came downstairs, Zhu Pingan collected his books and followed the fat man downstairs to the inn lobby to have dinner.
However, the fat man is ultimately left a psychological shadow, dinner froze a bite did not eat, even the soup did not drink a mouthful, to which Zhu Pingan also can not do anything. You can’t wake up a person pretending to be asleep, nor can you feed a person who sees food and vomits.
Inn lobby one after another sat a lot of scholars, three or two get together to eat dinner, at the same time on today’s examination questions to criticise some, the main target is that the topic of the son of the day, it seems that a lot of people on the topic of a piece of confusion, do not know from where to write.
The night is quiet, the moonlight is hazy, the stars are misty, the breeze blows the window screen, Zhu Pingan has been sitting by the window until the night watchman knocked the third day of the night, only to pack up his things, extinguished the oil lamp and went to bed. Deep sleep.
On the second day, before dawn, Zhu Pingan got up early to prepare for the last examination of the courtyard examination – the re-examination.
As usual, Fatty got up early to tell Zhu Pingan to go to the examination. After not seeing him overnight, Fatty had lost a lot of weight and his forehead seemed to be very green.
“You this head ……” Zhu Pingan looked at the fatty’s green forehead, speechless.
“Oh, this is what I specifically touched. High school door beam! Good luck!” Fatty was a bit smug
Okay, you win.
When he walked to the side of the bridge connecting the two sides of the Qin Huai River, he encountered his eldest uncle and others who had stepped over from the other side of the bridge, and Zhu Pingan really didn’t know what to say about this.
“Swine, how was yesterday’s examination?” Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren asked with a yawn and concern.
“Yesterday’s topic ……” Zhu Pingan’s words were interrupted by his eldest uncle before he could finish.
“You also feel that yesterday’s question came out very difficult right, right, well, there is no harm, you are still young, a few more tests will be good.” Eldest uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and said in relief. “but also a pity, if the topic is more usual, to your identity of the top of the government test is a stable into the, this time the topic is difficult some, you are a pity.”
Er
Zhu Pingan ……
Today is the second session, the retest.
The entrance procedure is the same as last time, also after the roll call should be bailed out by the officer led to go to the number room to continue the examination.
That’s right, the same room as last time.
I can not help but sympathise with the fat Xue Chi, this goods will probably have to vomit for another day.
The re-examination is actually relative to the main field yesterday, the importance of a little less. Daming on the Academy exam reading time requirements, about a ten days. Time is very tight. In order to accelerate the speed of marking and complete the marking work on time, the markers mainly look at the candidate’s first field rolls, and the first field rolls can only look at an approximation. In general. If the first paper examined well, the reading of the high score (praise), the readers of the preconceived notion of your level of high, then the second paper score basically can not be low; if the first exam smashed, the readers may be with tinted glasses to read your second paper.
Of course, it is not to say that the retest is not important, the markers read the paper or to see the quality of your answer. Especially the eight-legged essay, there is a fixed format, it is easier to see the quality of your essay fairly.
After striking the cloud board and handing out the test papers, several magistrates held up signs with questions pasted on them in the aisle in front of the numbered houses for the candidates to see the questions.
Today’s exam questions are a bit less than yesterday’s, with two questions on the four books and eight scripts, and a less common test post poem. In fact, the Ming dynasty township examination, the examination, the temple examination are not test post poetry, even the children’s examination is rare, because the Taizu anti-this, but after the middle of the influence of the Taizu weakened, the children’s examination will occasionally test post poetry, but very few, and the evaluation of the paper is mainly to look at the four books of the eight-legged text.
The two four books eight-legged essay questions are not like the yesterday’s said, more orthodox, the first question is “do not scruple to change”, from the Analects of Confucius, said: “The gentleman is not heavy is not powerful, learning is not solid. If a gentleman is not heavy, he will not be powerful; if he learns, he will not be firm; if he is loyal and trustworthy, and if he has no friends inferior to himself, he will not be afraid to change his faults.” The second question is a long sentence, “A good man in a township is a friend to a good man in a township, a good man in a country, and a good man in the world is a friend to a good man in the world,” from Mencius.
These two questions are more orthodox, for often do the eight shares of the scholars and scholars are not difficult, the eight shares of the text to do how, it depends on everyone’s skills.
However, the last test post poem is a trap, the title is “yellow flowers like scattered gold”.
The book of rites, there is a sentence is written, “the month of autumn, chrysanthemums have yellow flowers”, it is estimated that there will be a lot of candidates according to this test post poem to write what the autumn scenery ah chrysanthemums and so on, if so written then that’s a great deal of run-on topics.
Zhu Pingan saw this topic, but some thanks to the village of that dark, brutal and poisonous girl, if not for her, he also want to run out of the question.
The last home, he also went to the Li family many times to borrow books to copy, but also most of the four books and eight shares and so on, that brute girl once mocked himself as a toad nerd, was his own language to tease, the girl will take this poem to ask yourself, the results of their own said into the chrysanthemum after being mocked for a long time by the girl, threw himself a collection of poems and mocked himself “chrysanthemum rape flowers,” the girl said that she was a chrysanthemum, and that she had no idea what she was doing. The peace and quiet of the dumb toad, stupid can not tell the difference.”
In the book of poems, there are two ancient poems in a row, the “Selected Writings” by Xiao Tong of the Southern Liang Dynasty and the “Solitary Hope” by Sikong Tu of the Tang Dynasty. The two books have the verse “Green stripes are like total emerald, yellow flowers are like scattered gold” “Green trees are even in the darkness of the village, yellow flowers are scarce in the wheat.” Therefore, Zhu Pingan knew that the yellow flowers do not refer to chrysanthemums, but to rape flowers in the spring, this test post poem is to write about the spring scenery, I do not know how many candidates who are not academically proficient will fall into the trap.
Zhu Pingan dipped his pen into the ink and first copied all three questions on the draft paper, and then he started to make a draft of his ideas.
Time passes quietly at the tip of the pen, from the sunrise to the sunset, slowly the haze of the sky fades down, deep red turns into rows of red, dimensional red turns into light red, and finally, when all this red light has disappeared, Zhu Pingan walks out from the Jiangnan Tribute Academy.
“Come, come, come, brother Zhu appreciate this song of mine that endows yellow flowers like scattered gold, and the golden wind floats the chrysanthemum stamens ……”
Zhu Pingan had just left the Tribute Courtyard when he heard a familiar shout and looked up to see fat Xue Chi with two balls of cotton stuffed in his nose, his fat face smiling like a chrysanthemum, walking from afar with a wobbly step.
Chrysanthemum Rui?
Zhu Pingan looked at the fat man with a speechless face, well, fat brother, you’d better go home and let your father donate a supervisor to you!
