As soon as the carriage stopped, Wu Shanwen ran out of the carriage and whispered, "Master, Second Master, Dai Duo from Sibeile's house came very early. It is said that he is sending our Second Master to the tribute courtyard for Sibeile.
."
Longkodo couldn't help but smile and said carelessly: "This fourth child understands my thoughts so well. Your participation in the provincial examination is the top priority in my heart."
Yuzhu smiled and said: "I am your biological son. If you don't care about me, do you still care about Lao Wang next door on the street?"
"Haha, yes, father and son are connected. If I don't love you, who will I love?" Longkodo didn't even know what Lao Wang next door was about, and he was so happy to be praised by Yuzhu.
After Longkoduo and Yuzhu got off the bus, they saw Dai Duo standing next to two large lanterns, looking at the father and son with a smile.
"Little Dai Duo, please greet me, Commander-in-Chief Long." Dai Duo walked over quickly and took the initiative to go down to greet you.
Fourth elder brother Yinzhen always calls uncle, let alone his disciple Dai Duo?
"Yili." Longkodo didn't look at Dai Duo at all, and his attitude was extremely arrogant.
Yuzhu knew how powerful Dai Duo was, so he quickly bowed his hands and said very affectionately: "Mr. Dai, you have become more and more radiant since we said goodbye to Jiangning, but what elixir did you take?"
Others may not know it, but Dai Duo witnessed with his own eyes that the fourth elder brother, who was particularly difficult to serve, was actually inspired by Yuzhu to cherish talents.
It’s so awesome that I want to go to heaven!
"Second Master Yu is joking, Long Shuai looks like he has taken the elixir." Dai Duo can become the chief adviser of the fourth elder brother. How can he be an idle person? He kicked the ball into Long Keduo's goal with just a few words.
In my arms.
Longkodo loved to hear flattery. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "Xiao Dai, go back and tell the fourth child that I, the third child, will accept his thoughts."
He was really happy. The fourth child actually remembered that Yuzhu was going to take the provincial examination today, which was even more gratifying than giving him one hundred thousand taels of silver.
On the fourth watch of the day, the front gate of the Gongyuan was already crowded with people. However, the area around the jade pillar had been cleared by the soldiers in advance, and there was no trace of outsiders within a radius of ten feet.
"Boom!"
At five o'clock in the morning, the sound of cannons suddenly sounded in the tribute courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, I heard many people shouting in unison, "Open the dragon gate, open the dragon gate!"
Unlike the Banner Academy Examination where the Zhenghuang Banner was the first to enter, in the Shuntian Prefecture Provincial Examination, the Manchurian Huang Banner, who ranked first among the three banners, was the first to enter.
"My congratulations to Second Master Yu for his high school education." Dai Duo's posture was very low, and he said flattering words respectfully.
Yuzhu is not Longkodo, he doesn't like flattery at all.
"Mr. Dai, you are too ridiculous. Thanks to your good words, I just hope that I can win the exam, and I am already content."
What Yuzhu said is true. The hope of passing the Jie Yuan exam is too slim.
Last time, after suffering a big loss from Tang Bing, Yuzhu had already learned his lesson. He had all the necessary equipment in his test basket, and he would never suffer a dumb loss again.
This person has to fall down to know the pain.
Yuzhu was holding the exam basket and was queuing up to enter the venue. Suddenly he heard someone calling his name, "Yuzhu, the title of the Guibang."
He turned around and saw that under the still dark night, he could vaguely see what seemed to be the twelfth prince Yinyu standing under a large lantern?
The light from the distant lantern is too hazy.
Yuzhu tried his best to squint his eyes, but still couldn't see clearly whether that person was the twelfth elder brother?
"Put everything down, raise your hands high, and don't move!" The leader of the Eight Banners team who led the inspection clearly had an accent from Shengjing.
Yuzhu clearly felt that the inspection in the provincial examination was much stricter than that in the hospital examination.
"I'll be the first to make scandalous remarks. If there's anything involved, I'll deal with it outside first. If I let you find it, I'll have to flog it to the public."
The soldiers who were searched thoroughly turned over the large bag of fried rice that Yuzhu brought with them with their dirty hands.
Well, there's nothing we can do about it. Even if his hands are ten times dirtier, Yuzhu can't go through the exam on an empty stomach for three days, right?
After Tang Bing deliberately made things difficult, Yuzhu was extremely well prepared. Soon, the soldiers finished searching and let him into the Gongyuan.
The license supervisor carefully checked Yuzhu's exam card, randomly checked the six relatives at home, and asked who was the third placer in the college exam, and then issued the license plate and officially let Yuzhu pass.
.
This time, Yuzhu's luck was pretty good, with number 35 in the sixth row of B, and there were no bad numbers around.
The No. 1 building is still sealed on three sides, with only one side open. There are still two wooden boards inside.
Fortunately, both wooden boards have been wiped clean, and there is no need to wipe them with jade pillars and rags.
Yuzhu immediately set up a mosquito net, lit mosquito coils, and then took off his silk gown, leaving only a sleeveless silk gown and five-cent silk shorts.
After spreading the gown on the wooden board, Yuzhu lay down, closing his eyes and resting his mind even if he couldn't sleep.
By the time more than 2,000 students had entered Gongyuan, it was already 3:30 p.m.
At this time, the signal cannon fired, and the soldiers shouted loudly: "Lock the dragon gate!"
For this lock, you must wait until the exam is over before you can open the courtyard door.
The chief examiner of this rural examination, Li Guangdi, a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and the official minister, led the examiners to first place the incense table, pay homage to the current imperial edict of the rural examination, and then pay homage to Confucius.
After completing a set of complicated etiquette, when the test papers were handed to Yuzhu's hands, the sky was already dark.
Tang Bing had already helped Yuzhu analyze it thoroughly. The provincial examination was said to be three exams in nine days. In fact, the questions on the Four Books and Five Classics in the first exam were the most important.
According to Tang Bing, if Li Guangdi hadn't been the examiner, he really wasn't sure that Yuzhu could be a high school student.
Coincidentally, the examiner of the Sunchon Township Examination was none other than Li Guangdi, who had a despicable personality but was best at figuring out what was best for him.
After Yuzhu got the test questions, he was not in a hurry to pick up the lamp and write. Instead, he lay back on the board.
He closed his eyes, concentrating on thinking about similar questions he had done before. There was no way, being a question maker in a small town was by no means a waste of money.
"Pa."
"Pa."
"Pah, pah."
From the left and right next door to Yuzhu, the sounds of swatting flies and mosquitoes could be heard one after another, and from time to time, low curses in various accents could be heard.
"Put in some food and kill it."
"Oh, I forgot to bring a mosquito net."
"It's so hot that I forgot my fan."
At this moment, Yuzhu is really grateful to Tang Bing for his devilish training before the exam. Hehe, he is ready for everything.
Yuzhu lay on the wooden board, crossed his legs, and shook his big cattail fan while thinking about schadenfreude.
In the provincial examinations of other provinces, the admission rate is one out of thirty. However, in the provincial examinations in Shuntian Prefecture, the admission rate has always been one out of twenty.
The reason is to take care of the children of powerful people!
Therefore, there are always powerful people who use their privileges to do evil things such as taking part in the Shuntianfu Provincial Examination without their nationality.
There is no way, why is Shuntian Prefecture's provincial examination admission rate so high?
There are more than 2,000 candidates for this provincial examination, which means that there will be more than 100 candidates.
According to Tang Bing, there are many candidates who are unable to perform to their expected level due to insufficient preparation before the exam.
Many well-known talents failed the list, mostly because of this reason.
The Kaosheli is so smelly that I can't eat dry food, I'm itchy from mosquito bites, and it's so hot that I can't sleep. The more people with dark circles under their eyes, the better it is for Yuzhu.
Yuzhu, who had accumulated a lot of experience but was extremely well-prepared, began to write and answer the questions after getting enough rest.
During five cold years and more than 1,800 days and nights, Yuzhu has been studying hard behind closed doors.
There are small stoves opened by three famous teachers: Tang Bing, Qin Benchu and He Zichang. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has never solved any problem?
Let’s talk about today’s questions on the Four Books and Five Classics. One-third of them were guessed by Qin Benchu, one-third by Tang Bing, and the remaining one-third were detailed in the booklet given by He Zichang.
Commentary.
Now, the wonderful effect of brushing questions is completely revealed.
Why? A good article is not only about gorgeous words, but also needs to be refined and refined in order to be clear, concise and wonderful.
As long as you guess the scope of the exam correctly, a good article like this that has been refined in advance can be extremely shocking and infectious with just a few modifications.
He Zichang's booklet clearly states that most of the Jiangnan champions were able to write excellent essays and strategic questions in such a short period of time because they guessed the test questions in advance.
Why can you guess it right? A top-notch teacher!
Why can a top-notch master be paid more than a thousand taels of silver per year to practice? It’s worth every penny!
You know, in Sijiu City now, the lowest-grade indica (Xian) rice only costs five cents a liter. For ten taels of silver, you can already buy a beautiful yellow flower girl.
One thousand taels of silver, when the court is short of money and allows officials to be donated, is enough to buy a eighth-grade county magistrate who is actually in need rather than a candidate.
To put it bluntly, the longer the eight-part essay selection process takes, the easier it is to master the rules. Once you understand the emperor's thoughts and the examiner's thoughts, it will be easy to circle the scope of the examination and conduct targeted long-term training. p>
In matters like education, except for 1% of geniuses, there will definitely be no big gains without investment.
The Shilin family in Jiangnan is one of the biggest beneficiaries of vested interests, and they are willing to spend money to hire top-notch teachers.
Famous teachers got a lot of money, and the scholars in Jiangnan were awarded Jinshi or Number One Scholar. Each got what he needed, killing two birds with one stone!
Yuzhu has found a treasure by having Tang Bing as his teacher. Tang Bing himself is very powerful, and he also recommended the even more powerful junior disciple He Zichang, who also implicated the extremely awesome Qin Benchu.
This is equivalent to three national-level special lecturers who often take part in college entrance examination papers and give Yuzhu a little trouble every day.
How can we not take advantage of it?
On the second day, Yuzhu spent a whole day finishing all the questions from the Four Books and the Five Classics.
According to the old habit, after finishing the problem, Yuzhu did not copy it immediately, but put it aside for another night.
With the sighs of the test-takers, Yuzhu silently considered the article he had written three times, inside and out.
Early in the morning on the third day, after Yuzhu ate a few handfuls of fried rice, he officially started answering questions.
The beautiful article that has been drafted is like a trickle of water, slowly flowing through my heart.
Yuzhu's right hand holding the pen is as steady as Mount Tai. He answers the questions stroke by stroke without any trace of scrawling in his handwriting.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yuzhu carefully checked his name, place of origin, resumes of three generations of his ancestors and grandchildren, the emperor's taboos, the title of the article, etc., then called the soldiers and took the initiative to hand in the papers.
