Chapter 40 The Spring Examination End

The examination room for the spring exam is a small black room in the garage, called the No. 1 House.After the students enter, the trooper in charge of supervision will padlock the door and leave only a small window for delivering the exam papers.

All day, the students' food, drink, defecation and sensation were completed in the small dark room.

The candlelight was like beans, and the small house was stained with dimness. Xu Erlang sat next to the desk, poured clean water into the inkstone, and slowly grinded it.

There is still a long time before the exam begins, and this period is enough for him to calm down and think about some things.

Since ancient times, the imperial examination emphasizes classics and is light on poetry and essays. In addition, the Dafeng poetry world has been weak for a long time. Therefore, for most students, this last test is just a formality.

When they were admitted to the hospital, the familiar students were smiling and contented.Unlike the first two games, he had a serious face and a nervous mentality, as if he was about to wear armor to fight.

However, others can relax, and Xu Erlang knows that he cannot be careless.

He was a student of Yunlu Academy. According to the court's attitude towards the students of Yunlu Academy, after he passed the Jinshi, he was either sent to a remote village or was reluctant to give him an official position and hid his snow.

Xu Erlang has his own ambitions, and he neither wants to be sent to a remote village nor wants to stay in Beijing for hiding.

The road ahead is long... Xu Xinnian sighed.

At this time, the horn soldier outside the door knocked on the small window and said in a muffled voice: Master, the paper is here.

Those who participated in the spring exam were all Juren, who were qualified to be an official, and the soldiers directly called the students in the examination room the master.

Xu Xinnian took the paper and spread it on the table. It was already dawn, but the sun had not risen.

With the orange candlelight, Xu Xinnian looked closely and said that the title was a sentence in "Cheng Zi Gan Ge": Three armies can seize the commander, but every man cannot seize the ambition.

Xu Erlang, who was well-read in poetry and books, instantly extracted the core: chanting one's aspirations!

He stared at the test paper, his expression uncontrollable and incredible in his eyes.

My elder brother must have stepped on shit before entering my house that day?Xu Erlang murmured.

Can this be guessed by him?

Xu Erlang Quan regarded the big brother who was trying to get the lot that day. Although the Spring Examination questions can be guessed, they are limited to the classics and policy discussions. After all, there are traces to the two.

The poems are all about the examiner's mood. They can come up with whatever they think. Even if they are named after the wild flowers on the roadside, it is possible.

Can you guess this?!

Unless the eldest brother stepped on the shit that night, Xu Erlang really couldn't think of any possibility.

Wait for a moment... Xu Xinnian's expressions of shock, confusion, confusion, etc. all turned into ecstasy and excitement.

The elder brother guessed the right question, the elder brother guessed the right question!

He suddenly straightened his back and couldn't help but whistle three times to express his excitement at this moment.

With my elder brother’s poetry talent, since I guessed the test questions correctly, then I will respect me, Xu Erlang, as the third session.Me, I may be able to compete for Huiyuan.

The one who passed the examination was Gongshi, whose first name was Huiyuan.

It makes sense for him to think so. First of all, he will be able to mislead his name. His identity as a student of Yunlu Academy will not be exposed, so he will not be excluded.

Secondly, Xu Xinnian is a natural seed of study, a successful student of the great Confucian Confucian Zhang Shen, and the Confucian system is unforgettable and has a clear idea and other bonuses, and his own level is far superior to that of the Imperial College students.

Finally, in order to prevent fraud in the imperial examination, Dafeng arranged three examiners, and many of them took the exam together. The components here became complicated, and the three examiners must come from different parties.

Maybe they are hostile to each other.

Even if someone can bribe one examiner, it is impossible to bribe the other two.

Therefore, in each session, the examiners will also have a battle between them, and then discuss and compromise with each other to make the final choice.

I promise the New Year if I don’t give birth to heaven, and I will be like a long night.

Even though he was so proud of the New Year, there was no one in the house at this moment, and he could not control his emotions at all, dancing and smiling like a fool.

If there is a bed, he will roll on the bed or twist around like a maggot.

Brother, I am really lucky!Calm, calm down, what is the poem of chanting my aspirations given to me by my elder brother...

Xu Xinnian calmed down and forced himself to calm down.

Fortunately, he, who is the eighth-rank Confucian scholar, has long been remembered. Moreover, the poem given by his elder brother is indeed good, and he still remembers it deeply and will soon recall it.

He picked up the pen and dipped it ink and spread the draft paper. At this time, he realized that his hands were still shaking slightly.

I have no prospects, but I just try it out, so excited.My father said that I have the resources of the Prime Minister.

After teasing himself, Xu Xinnian felt a little relaxed, his hands stopped shaking, and he quickly wrote on paper:

There are ten thousand wines in the golden cup, and ten thousand yuan in the jade plate.

I can't eat when I stop the cup and throw the chopsticks, and I draw my sword and look at me in a daze.

If you want to cross the Yellow River to block the ice, you will climb Taihang to the mountains full of snow.

When I was free to fish on the green stream, I suddenly rode a boat and dreamed of the sun.

It is difficult to walk, and it is difficult to walk, and there are many misaligned roads. How can you stay here now?

There will be times when the wind and waves are long, and the clouds sails will cross the sea.

(Note from the author of conscience: The poems for the imperial examination, also known as Fu De Poems, are usually five-character, eight-character, four-character, six-character, not seven-character. I will modify the magic in the other world to facilitate the plot. Note: Anti-bar Essence!)

After writing the poem, I read it several times and confirmed that I did not write it wrong, but new doubts came to my mind.

What is the Yellow River?What is Taihang?I was free to fish on the green stream, and I suddenly rode a boat and dreamed of the sun. Is there any allusion to these two sentences...

Xu Erlang frowned.

Xu Xinnian, who has been well-read in poetry, couldn't find where the Yellow River and Taihang are. According to his understanding of poetry, fishing on the blue stream and suddenly riding a boat to dream of the sun should be two allusions.

My brother is really, I don’t know how to make annotations when writing poems.How can this help me understand his state of mind when writing poems and how can I understand his profound intention?

The Yellow River and Taihang should be the names of rivers and mountains. This can be replaced. As for the sentences "I am free to fish on the green stream" and "I suddenly ride a boat and dream about the sun". Even if there is no allusion, it is not difficult to understand what I want to express, and there is no big problem.

So, after changing the Yellow River and Taihang, Xu Xinnian asked to answer questions:

"The Way to Go"

……

The examiners of this spring exam are Zhao Tingfang, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, Liu Hong, the Censor of the Right Censor, and Qian Qingshu, the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace.

Unlike students, the chief examiners and fellow examiners have not left the tribute court since the commemorative examination. The gate is padlocked and they do not want to leave unless they have wings.

In order to prevent examiners from colluding with students to cheat, examiners must wait for the list of tribute scholars to be confirmed before they can leave the tribute school.

Compared with the beacon fire and wolf smoke during the first two paper markings, the examiners' attitudes and emotions have undergone great changes.

It's nonsense, and even if you dare to show off your ugly poems, you can't help but show off your ugly words in the exam.

Using bamboo to describe people, using this to express their ambitions. Although the angle is good, chanting bamboo is more than chanting ambitions, and putting the cart before the horse is put.

Alas, after watching it for a long time, there was no stunning poem.

Isn’t it the same in previous years? I’ve gotten used to it.

The examiner is also called the official in the curtain. They comment while reviewing the case.At first glance, the atmosphere is full of gunpowder, but it is actually the easiest freehand painting.

Poetry is not valued, and it doesn’t matter if you write well.Anyway, it’s all a scumbag, and it’s rare to have poems written by students in a proper way.It is not worthy of serious treatment by examiners.

In the capital, when it comes to poetry, there is one person who can never avoid it. He just beats people to Xu Qi'an.He was regarded as the leader of the poetry world by scholars, or the savior of the poetry world by Dafeng.

If Xu Qi'an participated in the imperial examination, he would not talk about anything else. At least this year's imperial examination will give birth to a poem that will be passed down from generation to generation.

Who said it was not? Unfortunately, Xu Qi'an was not a scholar. In the future, historical records, all the excellent poems and works of Yuan Jing's year came from this person, so how can we scholars have face?

The scholars' attitude towards Xu Qi'an is very complicated. Fortunately, he has given him a few poems that have been outstanding in the past two hundred years, so that they will not be ridiculed by future generations.

I also regret that he is a martial artist, not a scholar, because this is also something that will make future generations laugh at.

After two hundred years of Dafeng, there were thousands of scholars, but even a warrior was not as good as a warrior.

All the mistakes are Xu Pingzhi's fault.

At this moment, a paper marking officer unfolded a copy of the paper. After a few seconds, he was stunned, his body seemed to be petrified and motionless.

But his mouth kept muttering, repeatedly.

After a few minutes, the reviewer suddenly stood up, looked around his colleagues in the room, took a deep breath, and said loudly: Who said the scholars of Dafeng cannot write good poems, who said it, who said it?

The reviewers looked over one after another, looking confused, not knowing what he was going crazy.

The poetry world has been weak for two hundred years, and contemporary scholars are not good at poetry. These are facts, so what is there to controversy?

Bang!

The examiner patted the paper on the table, his chest was undulating, and said excitedly: I dare to conclude that once this poem is published, it will be famous all over the world.This year's imperial examination will be recorded by the historian.

A paper marking officer next to him looked at him, walked over curiously, picked up the paper, and looked closely.

Crazy seems to be contagious. The marking officer held the paper and trembled all over excitedly: Good poems, good poems, hahaha, who said that the scholars of the great vocational vocation cannot write good poems? Who said that?

Now, the other reviewers realized that a masterpiece was published and rushed up to pass on each other and read them.

A good poem should be clear.

There will be times when the wind and waves are long, and the clouds are sailing across the sea... This is the poem that scholars should write.

How can a student write this vicissitudes of life?

Maybe I failed the exam many times, so I would like to engrave my poems.

The appearance of this song "The Difficult to Walk" is like a group of local chickens mixed with golden phoenixes. It is particularly precious. The reviewers in the room keep circulating and commenting excitedly.

Ahem!

There was a strong cough outside the door, and the gray-haired Grand Secretary of the Dongge stood at the door with his hands on his back.

He was attracted by the noise.

The examiners in the room suddenly fell silent.

What a scheming thing?

Grand Secretary Zhao Tingfang scolded him a few words, and then asked: I just heard someone say, once this poem is published, it will be famous all over the world?

The examiner immediately stepped forward and handed the test paper respectfully.

The Grand Secretary of Dongge glanced at everyone first, then took the test paper, squinted his eyes and looked... His hand holding the test paper and trembled slightly.

Anyone can see that this is a good poem, an exciting and exciting poem.

But different experiences and different feelings.

This poem is both a sympathy and a bumpy life experience.

From being confused and difficult to walk on the road to being in a state of confusion to being breeze through the waves, there will be times when sailing across the vast ocean, anyone with similar experiences can quickly empathize.

The last sentence is to express one's aspirations and the finishing touch, which directly elevates the artistic conception of the whole poem to a very high level.

This son is definitely a talented person. If the scriptures and questions are both excellent, I will definitely order him as Huiyuan!The Grand Secretary of the Dongge said.

……

The day after the spring examination, Xu Xinnian found that her treatment at home had plummeted. In the past, every morning, my mother would have let the kitchen heat a bowl of hot milk.

At noon, it is a strong-scented chicken soup and at night it is a ginseng soup.

During this period, my mother would also care about her well-being. Although she did not show any tangible performance, she also showed enough attention.

My father and elder brother would ask a few questions at the dining table, and my younger sister Xu Lingyue would also say something. Even my younger sister Xu Lingyin would occasionally shout: Second brother, you must work hard!

But since the end of the last game, the milk is gone, the chicken soup is gone, and the ginseng is gone. After asking when the results will be released, no one pays much attention.

On the dining table, Xu Qi'an asked: Why is Erlang in a bad mood? He didn't do well in the last exam?

Xu Erlang didn't say anything. After dinner, he pulled his elder brother into the study and stared at him: Brother... You guessed the question.

Xu Qian was both surprised and not surprised at this result, nodded and asked: Is it patriotism or ambition?

Ishi!

Xu Xinnian asked: Where are the Yellow River and Taihang?When I was free to fish on the green stream, I suddenly rode a boat and dreamed of the sun. Which allusion did it come from?

……Um?Is there any allusion in this sentence?I don't remember Ah.Xu Qian looked confused.

I am free to fish on the Bi Creek because I like fishing.Suddenly, I was riding a boat and dreaming of the sun, and then... Oh, why do you talk so much nonsense?The exam has been completed, and I am still beating here.

Hurry up the Four Books and Five Classics, and my brother will take you to the Taofangsi to play tomorrow.

Xu Qi'an ran away cursingly.

When he returned to the room, he found Zhong Li sitting beside the bed bandaging her head, vaguely bleeding.

Falling again?

Um.

Zhong Li nodded aggrievedly and said: I found that your sister is very hard-earned.

Which sister?Xu Qi'an asked.
