Take the imperial examinations with the red envelopes of the writers

Chapter 52

Not long after, Su Yan knew why his second brother Su Yu said that that day.

At this time, he was sitting in the examination room of the separate dormitory examination, looking at the test paper he had just received with some dumbfounding.

The examination room of this dormitory examination is the classroom where they usually attend classes, but during the examination, the double desks were replaced with single desks, and each examinee had a desk, separated by an aisle.

In the four corners of the classroom stood a child wearing the clothes of a servant of Yunshan Academy.The children glanced at the candidates with piercing eyes. If they had any bad thoughts, they would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of the children.

Chi Simiao sat on the recliner at the front of the classroom, lazily looking at the freshmen who got the papers in the classroom, admiring the expressions on their smiles that gradually distorted and disappeared.

Tsk, it looks so refreshing.

When Xie Linfeng saw the test paper, his face froze, and his low self-confidence was even worse.

Is this a topic found in any corner?

The first question is a simple word - "two".

This is embarrassing me, Mr. Xie!

Although I have no evidence, I suspect that the author of the question is implicating me.

Not only Xie Linfeng, but other candidates also looked dazed when they got the test papers, and the feeling of dizziness increased.

Gan!Who made this rubbish question!Don't their examinees lose face!

The titles of Shiwen generally come from the original texts of the Four Books and Five Classics.If subdivided, the topic can be divided into major and minor topics.

The big question refers to a complete single sentence extracted from the original text of the Four Books and Five Classics. This kind of question has a clear meaning and does not test or embarrass the examinee when reading the question.

The small questions are varied and weird, usually the sentence structure and semantics are unclear and incomplete, and the meaning of the questions is also difficult to be clear, trivial and trivial, sticking to the next.

And this question "two" is a typical small question.Just a word, the small one can't be smaller.

Chen Youyong was full of confidence at first, after all, after his brother-in-law came up with a good question, he asked the servant to secretly send him a copy of the question, and also attached his own model essay.

However, when he got the test paper, he was dumbfounded. How could it be different from what he said?

Could it be that Brother Shu is playing tricks on me on purpose? !

Chen Youyong remembered that his mother had warned him not to get close to his brother-in-law, saying that he had talent but no virtue. Is it true?

But when he was a child, the Shu brother was very good to him, and he would take the initiative to take the blame for himself for the mistakes he made.

Chen Youyong was in a gloomy mood at this moment.

It's over now, the bet with Su Yan and the others will not be lost.If he quit Yunshan Academy disheartened, not to mention his own face, he would also lose the face of his parents and uncle.

But if you regret it at that time... Chen Youyong turned pale when he remembered that so many classmates had witnessed his harsh words.How could he stay under the guidance of everyone in Yunshan Academy?

Chen Youyong thought that before coming to Yunshan Academy, his family and his uncle, who was the magistrate, were chatting at a dinner party, and the uncle talked cryptically about something wrong with the Jiangling House Examination.Chen Youyong guessed that someone was cheating in the college exam, and couldn't help being speechless. Even his uncle is the magistrate, so he had to memorize and study honestly, and take the college exam in a proper manner.How could someone cheat directly? !

After coming to Yunshan Academy, the day before the entrance ceremony, my brother-in-law deliberately satirized in front of me that some of the freshmen from Jiangling Prefecture entered Yunshan Academy by cheating in the imperial examination when they took him to visit the academy, which caused a lot of trouble. His curiosity.

Under his own constant questioning, the concubine finally revealed Su Yan's name, and the cheater even got a small three yuan!He successfully provoked his dissatisfaction with Su Yan.Then he showed a confident and swearing appearance about the separate exams, and let himself provoke Su Yan to make a bet.

Thinking about it this way, regardless of whether he wins or loses, Brother Shu can clean himself up.

Besides, after this month of getting along, he can also see that Su Yan is not the kind of student who has nothing in his stomach and no ink in his stomach.Sometimes the master asked him to answer questions, and his quick response and unique insights were enough to show his knowledge.

Chen Youyong also had to admit that even if Su Yan hadn't cheated, he could still get a good result in the college examination with his own ability.If he had been more lucky then, it would not have been impossible for him to pass the exam.

Moreover, Su Yan still has a cat, and that cat happened to save his life...

Chen Youyong felt more and more stupid about what he had done back then.No wonder my mother always said that she was too naive, and she didn't want him to invite a famous master to stay at home to study, but sent herself to Yunshan Academy without rejection.

He sighed while holding the test paper of the dormitory exam.Fortunately, he didn't relax his studies this month because he knew the questions in advance. Driven by the hard work of the two people in the dormitory, he studied hard, and he left his homework behind before finishing the exam.

Chen Youyong took the test paper, recited the Four Books silently with his eyes closed, and looked for the sentences containing "two" in the original text word by word.

As soon as Su Yan got the paper and saw the question, he guessed that the separate test must be the test paper given by Master Chi himself.

It is indeed an unusual little question, and it is quite in the style of Master Chi.

No matter what the topic is, the papers of the divisional examination must be answered well.

Su Yan thought in his heart, there are so many sentences containing "two", could it be that this is an open-ended topic, and any sentence can be written at random?

But Su Yan has an intuition that this question is definitely not just a matter of being reasonable, and it is definitely not what Master Chi wants to see.

Su Yan quietly raised his head to glance at Master Chi's expression, and felt that Master Chi was exuding a pleasant aura.

Hey, what kind of bad taste is this.

Then there must be a definite topic, so think about it again.

Look for "University" first.

Su Yan quickly went through the original text in his mind.No, exclude.

Look at the Analects again.

There are not many chapters containing "two" in "The Analects".Su Yan silently recalled.

"Zi said: 'Zhou Jian was in the second generation, and he was so depressed! I follow Zhou.'"

There is "two" in this sentence, but it looks a little bit wrong.

"Zigong said: 'I have no choice but to go, so where should I go first?'"

This sentence also contains "two", which is still not quite right.Su Yan frowned slightly, his eyelids were slightly closed, and he lowered his head in thought.

He thought about it, and it should be "two" that can be singled out as a question.

Got it!

"Duke Ai asked Yu Youruo, 'Your year is hungry, and you don't have enough. How about it?'"

"You Ruo said to him: 'Have you seen the truth?'"

"He said: 'Second, I am still not enough, how thorough is it?'"

It is here, only the "two" here is a separate sentence.This is the question and answer between Duke Ai of Lu and Youruo about taxation in "The Analects of Confucius·Yan Yuan", which embodies the Confucian thought of putting the people first.

Su Yan finally understood the meaning of the question, and immediately felt relieved.

With the idea and the central idea, the specific writing will be easy to solve later.

He picked up the pen in a happy mood, and first wrote out his ideas and outline on the draft paper.

Chi Simiao caught a glimpse of many candidates looking for the source of the question with their eyes closed and worried faces. He was in a good mood and couldn't help but smile faintly.

He had admired enough, sat up straight, and was about to show mercy to the candidates to remind the candidates of the source of this question. When he glanced casually, he found that Su Yan had already begun to write, which was particularly obvious among the candidates who were thinking hard. .

Chi Simiao raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked towards Su Yan's seat. He walked very lightly without making a sound.

Su Yan just finished typing the outline, and his thoughts flowed, immersed in his composition, not noticing that the invigilator was watching him write from behind him.

Chi Simiao glanced at Su Yan's manuscript paper, and was a little surprised to see that he did it so quickly.Thinking that Su Yan is the young Sanyuan of Jiangling Mansion, he couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his chin.

He thought of Lu Xianzhi, another well-known and talented young man from Jiangling Mansion, Lu Xianzhi, the proud student of the head of the mountain.These two seem to have a pretty good relationship, Chi Simiao thinks it's even more interesting.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and candidates came up with ideas one after another. Regardless of whether they were right or wrong, they wrote and answered the paper first.Some people just gave up on this question and started to look at the following questions.

However, when they saw the second question, the students were dumbfounded again, sitting in the bright examination room and doubting life.

What is this?

Have I actually read the book?Am I illiterate at all?I know every word in this question separately, but what does it mean when put together?

The title of the second question is: "Is it human but not as good as a bird? The poem says: King Mu Muwen."

Xie Linfeng is one of the students struggling on the verge of collapse.

Not long ago, he lamented that people are not as good as cats, but now the questioner said that people are not as good as birds.

As for being so worried!

Heaven and earth are not benevolent and regard all things as cud dogs.

Examiners are not benevolent, and examinees are not as good as dogs.

Xie Linfeng turned to the third question with trembling hands, while praying in his heart, let the teacher who comes out of the paper be a person.

The last question is a test post poem, and the title is: "Yellow flowers are like scattered gold."

Thank goodness, he can sing chrysanthemums in autumn.

After Xie Linfeng had prepared the draft in his heart, he was about to start writing when he suddenly hesitated.

Does yellow flower really mean chrysanthemum?

Xie Linfeng suddenly thought about the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard of their dormitory, isn't the sweet-scented osmanthus also yellow?

Although the sweet-scented osmanthus has withered at this time, when the sweet-scented osmanthus was blown down by the breeze, it didn't look like "yellow flowers are like scattered gold."

Is it too late for me to die on the spot?

Xie Linfeng shed tears without knowledge.

Good guy, there are only three questions in a separate test, and I can't do all three questions.

After Su Yan finished the draft of the first question, he planned to finish the draft of the following questions while his thoughts were clear, and then to copy the handed-in answer sheet.

He picked up the paper for the second question, and after reading it, he couldn't help feeling that Master Chi would not let go of this good opportunity to take the exam.

The second question is an interception question.As the name suggests, the interception question first intercepts and then draws together, which is to piece together two sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics.

Fortunately, Su Yan had already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. After a little thought, he realized that the first half sentence of the title of the second question came from the "Great Learning" in the Four Books, and the second half sentence came from the "Book of Songs" in the Five Classics.The general idea of ​​the title is to praise the noble character of Zhou Wenwang's benevolence.

This piece of the question is really clever.

Su Yan suddenly wondered what the third question would be.

So he put down the second question for the time being, picked up the paper of the third question and glanced at it.

Hey, the third question is actually just an ordinary test post poem?

Could it be that Master Chi saw that the first and second questions were too difficult, so he chose an easy question to comfort the candidates?

No, if this is the case, he can only ask one problem, this "yellow flowers are like scattered gold." It must not be that simple.

There are so many poems written by Yongju, why did he choose this one?

Wait, is it really Yongju?

"Book of Rites" has "Jiqiu moon, chrysanthemums have yellow flowers", but there is no original sentence "Yellow flowers are like scattered gold."

What is the original sentence?

Su Yan thought quickly in his mind. He had a vague impression, but he just couldn't grasp it.

He thought hard for a while.

Forget it, let's write the second question first.

Su Yan put the mysterious yellow flower in his heart for the time being, and started to write the draft of the second question.

Chi Simiao had been paying attention to his movements and expressions, so he guessed that Su Yan had realized the mystery hidden in the third question, but he didn't figure it out for a while.

That's right, if it's all obvious at a glance, then it's meaningless.

He lowered his eyes and chuckled.

The explanation of major and minor questions comes from Gong Duqing's "Appreciation of Eight-legged Essays·A Brief Introduction to Eight-Part Essays"

The question "two" is related to "The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan Pian No.12". Huh?" Said: "Second, I am still insufficient, so how thorough is it?" Confrontation: "The people are sufficient, which one is insufficient? The people are insufficient, and which one is sufficient?"

If you are interested in this question, you can look up the "Small Question Talent Book" edited by Jin Shengtan. There is a model essay in it.

"Zi said: 'Zhou was supervised in the second generation, and he was so depressed! I follow Zhou.'" From "The Analects of Confucius"

"Zigong said: 'If you have to go, what should you do first?'" From "The Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan"

"Is it possible that a human is not as good as a bird?" From "The Great Learning", the original text: Stopping, knowing what to stop, can be a human being not as good as a bird.The meaning (from the Internet) is: the little yellow bird perches on the hill, because it knows where it should stay. Isn’t a human being inferior to a bird?

"King Mu Muwen, Yu Jixi respects and stops." From "The Book of Songs", the meaning (from the Internet) is: King Wen, who has made great achievements, successfully promoted a society of courtesy by using his own example.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat everything as a straw dog." From Laozi's "Tao De Jing"

"Yellow flowers are like scattered gold." From "One of Three Miscellaneous Poems" by Zhang Han, a famous poet in the Wei and Jin Dynasties
