readx; Every student who came out of Jiangnan Gongyuan covered their noses and walked around this fat man. The smell of this guy was really unacceptable.
Zhu Pingan looked at the fat man three meters away who had runny nose and tears. He couldn't bear it and said:
"Brother Xue, it's useless to be sad now that things have come to this. You'd better fill your stomach first and I'll be the host."
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished saying this, he heard the fat man three meters away, with runny nose and tears flowing back into the river, yelling, lying on the side of the road and vomiting again.
Well, it seems like I shouldn’t bring up topics related to food.
Under Fatty's pleading, Zhu Ping'an finally did not leave Fatty alone, but still kicked Fatty to the inn and asked the waiter to send him to Fatty's room, where he asked Fatty to brush himself from top to bottom.
Like a humanoid biological weapon.
While the fat man was scrubbing upstairs, Zhu Pingan was sitting by the window in his room reading. The eight-part essay questions in the imperial examination were limited to four books. The more times you read the questions, the more confident you will be.
After the fat man washed up and changed into clean clothes and came downstairs, Zhu Pingan collected the books and followed the fat man downstairs to the inn lobby for dinner.
However, the fat man left a psychological shadow after all. He didn't eat a bite of dinner or even take a sip of the soup. Zhu Pingan was unable to do anything about it. You can't wake up a person who is pretending to sleep, and you can't feed a person who sees it.
People who vomit after eating.
Many scholars were sitting in the lobby of the inn one after another. They gathered together in twos and threes to eat dinner and criticize today's test questions. The main focus was on the Dao Ziyue question. It seemed that many people were confused about this question and did not know where to start.
The night was quiet. The moonlight was hazy, the stars were blurred, and the breeze blew the window screens. Zhu Pingan sat by the window until the watchman rang the third watch, then he packed up his things. He turned off the oil lamp and walked to the bed, and fell asleep.
On the second day, before it was dark, Zhu Pingan got up early to prepare for the last test of the college examination - the re-examination.
The fat man got up early as usual and asked Zhu Ping'an to go take the exam, but he disappeared all night. The fat man lost a lot of weight, and his forehead seemed to be very blue.
"Your head..." Zhu Ping'an looked at the fat man's green forehead and was speechless.
"Oh, I came across this specifically, the high school door beam! What a blessing!" The fat man was a little smug.
alright, you win.
When he walked to the bridge connecting the two sides of the Qinhuai River, he met his uncle and others who were crossing the bridge from the other side. Zhu Pingan really didn't know what to say to this.
"Xie'er, how was the test yesterday?" Uncle Zhu Shouren yawned and asked with concern.
"Yesterday's question..." Zhu Pingan was interrupted by his uncle before he finished speaking.
"You also think yesterday's questions were very difficult, right? Well, it doesn't matter, you are still young. It would be better if you take the test more often." Uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and comforted him, "It's a pity. If the questions were more normal, it would be better."
Your identity as the head of the examination has been confirmed, but this time the questions are a little more difficult, which is a pity for you."
Well
Zhu Pingan...
Today is the second round, the retest.
The entry procedure is the same as last time. After the roll call, the guards will lead you to the room to continue the exam.
That's right, it's the same room as last time.
I can't help but sympathize with fat Xue Chi. This guy will probably have to vomit for another day.
In fact, the re-examination is slightly less important than yesterday's main examination. Ming Dynasty has a requirement for the time for marking the examination papers, which is only about ten days. The time is very tight. In order to speed up the marking speed, the marking work must be completed on time. The marking person
It mainly depends on the candidate's first test paper, and the first test paper can only give a rough idea. Generally speaking, if you do well in the first test paper and you are given a high score (good review) during the marking, the grader will have a preconceived notion that you are of high standard.
The score on the second test paper will basically not be lower; if you fail in the first test, the examiner may come to read your second test paper with colored glasses.
Of course, this does not mean that the re-examination is not important. The grader still depends on the quality of your answers, especially the eight-part essay, which has a fixed format, so it is easier to fairly judge the quality of your essay.
After hitting the cloud board, the test papers were handed out, and several government officials held up placards with questions in the aisle in front of the dormitory for candidates to read the questions.
Today's exam questions are fewer than yesterday's. There are two four-book and eight-legged essay questions, and a less common test poem. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, rural examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations did not test poems, even for boys.
Examinations are also rare because Taizu dislikes them. However, Taizu's influence weakened after the mid-term period. There are occasionally test poems in boy examinations, but they are very few, and the evaluation mainly relies on four books and eight-legged essays.
The titles of the two four-book and eight-legged essays are not like yesterday's Taoist saying. They are more orthodox. The first title is "Don't be afraid to correct if you make mistakes." It comes from "The Analects". Confucius said: "If a gentleman is not serious, he will not be powerful, and if he is learned, he will not be solid. The main thing is loyalty and trustworthiness."
"If you don't have friends who are worse than yourself, don't be afraid to correct your mistakes." The second question is a long sentence, "A good person in a town should be friends with a good person in a country, a good person in a country, and a good person in the world should be friends with a good person in the world."
Scholar", from "Mencius".
These two questions are relatively orthodox, and are not difficult for students and scholars who often do Eight-part essays. How well you do Eight-part essays depends on your skills.
However, the last test poem was a trap, titled "Yellow Flowers Like Scattered Gold".
There is a sentence in "Book of Rites" that says, "In the autumn month, chrysanthemums have yellow flowers." It is estimated that many candidates will write test poems based on this, and write about autumn scenery, chrysanthemums, etc. If it is written like this, then
Quite off topic.
When Zhu Ping'an saw this question, he was somewhat grateful to the dark-hearted, arrogant and vicious girl in Shanghe Village. If it weren't for her, he would have gone off topic.
When I returned home last time, I went to Li's house many times to borrow books for copying, but most of them were about the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight Parts. The arrogant girl once laughed at herself for being a toad nerd. After being teased by her words, the girl started to laugh.
I asked myself this poem, but after I said it was a chrysanthemum, the girl laughed at me for a long time. She threw me a book of poems and laughed at myself, "Chrysanthemums, rape flowers, peace and quiet toads, stupid and stupid, can't tell the difference."
There are two ancient poems in the collection of poems, "Selected Works" by Liang Xiaotong of the Southern Dynasty and "Lonely Look" by Sikong Tu of the Tang Dynasty. The two books contain poems such as "The green strips are as green as green, and the yellow flowers are like loose gold" and "The green trees connect the village to darkness."
, the yellow flowers enter the wheat. Therefore, Zhu Ping'an knew that the yellow flowers did not refer to chrysanthemums, but to the rapeseed flowers in spring. This examination poem was to describe the spring scene. I don't know how many candidates who were not good at studying would fall into the trap.
Zhu Pingan dipped his pen in ink and copied all three questions on the draft paper, and then began to formulate a draft.
Time passes quietly at the tip of the pen, from the morning sun to the sunset, and slowly the rays of light in the sky gradually fade away, dark red turns into row red, Wei red turns into light red, and finally, when all the red light disappears
At that time, Zhu Ping'an walked out of Jiangnan Gongyuan.
"Come on, brother Zhu, let me appreciate my poem. The yellow flowers are like scattered gold, and the chrysanthemums are floating in the golden wind..."
As soon as Zhu Ping'an left the tribute courtyard, he heard a familiar shout. He looked up and saw fat man Xue Chi walking from a distance with two balls of cotton stuffed in his nose and a fat face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Chrysanthemum?
Zhu Ping'an looked at the fat man speechlessly, "Okay, fat brother, you'd better go home and ask your father to donate a prison student to you. (To be continued)
