Huang Jinquan finished writing the last few words, checked them carefully, looked at Tong Yuan opposite and asked.
"It's terrible. I wrote it randomly."
Tong Yuan put down the brush in his hand, looked at the eight-part essay he had written, and couldn't help but shake his head and said.
"My mentor seems to have finished writing it a long time ago. Let's take a look together?"
Huang Jinquan looked at Liu Jin's place. It was already empty. No one knew where he was wandering.
"Have you finished writing?"
Liu Jin, who happened to be full and drunk, walked in at this time. When he saw the appearance of the two of them, he also asked with a smile.
"Teacher, I've finished writing it, but I'm just too shy to see people."
Tong Yuan said respectfully.
"An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. What's more, this is just for the three of us to learn from each other. There is nothing to be ashamed of."
"How about we take a look at Huang Jinquan first?"
Liu Jin smiled and said nonchalantly.
"Please take a look at it~"
Upon hearing this, Huang Jinquan quickly took out his eight-part essay and said respectfully.
Liu Jin carefully read Huang Jinquan's eight-part essay. Well, of course he pretended to read it. Even though it was integrated with the memory of the original owner of this body, Liu Jin's level in this area was very limited, but he had a golden finger.
After using the ability of Golden Finger to check, I immediately knew that Huang Jinquan's eight-part essay had many flaws.
"Tong Yuan, take a look."
After Liu Jin finished reading, he also talked about Huang Jinquan's eight-part essay and showed it to Tong Yuan. Tong Yuan solemnly took Huang Jinquan's eight-part essay and read it carefully.
"Evaluate yourself. How do you think this eight-legged essay was written?"
After Tong Yuan finished reading, Liu Jin asked Huang Jinquan.
"The student feels ashamed. He thinks he has tried his best to write the best eight-legged essay he can."
Huang Jinquan said it very directly.
"What do you think of his eight-part essay?"
Liu Jin nodded and turned to ask Tong Yuan again.
"Brother Huang's eight-legged essay is written in a sophisticated style and the words are appropriate. However, there are a few places that are not aligned properly. The rhyme is not neat enough and the rhyme is not..."
Although Tong Yuan is not as good as Huang Jinquan in this aspect, he can still clearly see some obvious flaws.
"From my teacher's point of view, your eight-part essay is difficult to pass the provincial examination. Although there is no problem in breaking the topic and keeping it in mind, and it is written around the core points, there are a few flaws that are too obvious, like this one..."
Liu Jin had a golden finger to help him, and his comments were naturally clear and eloquent. Huang Jinquan was dumbfounded when he spoke. While listening carefully, he also carefully compared his eight-part essay.
As for Tong Yuan on the side, his eyes were shining continuously. It was really hard to tell. Liu Jin's usual behavior did not look like a knowledgeable person at all, but when he commented on the eight-legged essay, he was actually able to speak clearly.
It's heartwarming.
"Tong Yuan, please take out your eight-part essay."
After commenting on Huang Jinquan's eight-part essay, Liu Jin also gave instructions to Tong Yuan.
"Teacher, I really don't have the face to see others."
Perhaps it was because Liu Jin’s comments were so sharp that Tong Yuan did not dare to publish the eight-legged essay he had written.
"What are you afraid of?"
Liu Jin smiled and said, Tong Yuan had no choice but to show Liu Jin and Huang Jinquan the eight-part essay he had made.
Liu Jin and Huang Jinquan read it carefully, and they shook their heads almost at the same time. If there is any hope that Huang Jinquan's eight-part essay can pass the provincial examination, the premise is that the other people in the same class are not high-level, and the taller one is chosen among the short ones.
In this case, there is still hope of passing the provincial examination.
The eight-part essay written by Tong Yuan has almost no hope of passing the provincial examination. He has been following Liu Jin and was influenced to some extent by Liu Jin. The vernacular appeared in the eight-part essay. This is absolutely unforgivable.
Because one of the most important requirements of the eight-part essay is that when writing the eight-part essay, you should try your best to imitate the tone of speech of Confucius, Mencius and other sages.
"Let me show you the eight-legged essay I wrote~"
Liu Jin shook his head slightly. There is still hope for Huang Jinquan to pass the imperial examination. If he tries a few more times and studies hard, he will still have a chance if he is lucky. As for Tong Yuan, his level is really unsatisfactory and he is not suitable for the imperial examination at all.
.
However, Tong Yuan's talent in mathematics is really good. Liu Jin can teach many mathematics contents quickly, and he can even do some research on his own.
It is obvious that Tong Yuan used talents in the wrong place, and it is enough to show that the imperial examination is actually a strangulation of talents. He stared at some words and things said by the ancients thousands of years ago, studied them over and over again, and never escaped from Confucianism.
There are no rules and regulations, no one has made any progress, and it has no effect on social development at all.
The last two feudal dynasties in Chinese history were lifeless, without a trace of vigor and vitality. To a large extent, it was because of the constraints on ideas and the restrictions on talents. By the time the imperial examinations reached the last two dynasties, they had almost reached a dead end.
, the more you pass the exam, the more you die.
Of course, this does not mean that those who took the imperial examination were really incompetent. In fact, those who could stand out in the imperial examination were all talented people and were extremely intelligent.
It's just that these talents were wasted on the imperial examinations. After reading and reading, they could never get rid of a few bad books, which seriously hindered the development of society.
It’s just that Liu Jin is unable to change this now, and must adapt to it. Fortunately, there is a golden finger.
Liu Jin showed the eight-part essay he made to Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan. After reading it carefully, they both said to Liu Jin in unison: "666, my mentor is awesome, my mentor is amazing..."
The script is wrong, it should be.
"My mentor's articles are grand and majestic, and even more impressive. Students admire them."
These were words from the two people's hearts. The eight-part essay written by Golden Finger was naturally impeccable. The two of them could not find any flaws at all, which made them admire Liu Jin extremely.
"It's just so so. I'll show you another one."
Liu Jin smiled and shook his head, and then took out another piece. This piece was an eight-legged essay written by the first placer in the Beizhili Township Examination in the sixth year of Tianshun.
After Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan read it, they couldn't help but marveled in unison again.
"This article is an eight-legged essay written by the first person in the Beizhili Township Examination in the sixth year of Tianshun. I believe you will benefit a lot after reading it. I have collected a lot of rural examinations over the years and will test the outstanding articles that won the gold list. You
Let’s take a good look first.”
Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Liu Jin smiled and took out a book again - "Three Hundred Eight-part Compositions". Liu Jin spent a lot of money to compile this book. It can be regarded as a professional book for the imperial examination in this era.
The information is similar to the three-year college entrance examination and five-year exercises in later generations.
The two of them got the book and flipped through it casually. The content in the book was very detailed. They both benefited a lot just by reading it. In the past, they always felt that they couldn't start writing eight-legged essays, but after just reading it, they found it difficult to start.
After reading "Three Hundred Eight-legged Parts", I felt as if I had been enlightened and enlightened.
"That's it~"
“It’s really wonderful, I admire it~”
The two of them admired it repeatedly while watching it.
Liu Jin smiled when he saw the two of them forgetting sleep and food, and quietly left the study again without disturbing them.
In this way, Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan spent every day in Liu Jin's study. In the morning, Liu Jin gave questions and the three of them worked on them together. In the afternoon, the three of them commented and discussed with each other, and then they studied "
"Three Hundred Eight-part Compositions", this happens every day.
Huang Jinquan and Tong Yuan's eight-part essay writing skills have also risen rapidly, and the things they write are already in shape, so they are not as difficult to read as they were when they first started.
Soon, time flew by and it was August, and there were only a few days left before the autumn exam.
"That's almost it. It's time to bring in the questions from this exam. Otherwise, based on their current level, they are probably only 30 to 40 percent sure of passing the provincial exam. If they know the questions in advance, do the questions in advance, and comment on each other."
On this day, Liu Jin calculated the time and knew what to do.
