Cultivation: I can reincarnate in the heavens

soon. ơɱ

The Wei Jing Academy exam is coming.

The people in charge of invigilating the examination in Rixinzhai were Wang Jiaoxi and another master whom Xu Xing met for the first time.

Professor Wang sat on the podium and stared at the candidates in the audience.

Another Master was pacing up and down the aisles of the lecture hall.

He was about fifty or sixty years old, with reading glasses on the bridge of his nose, a goatee under his chin, and a dry white braid on the back of his head. As he walked, he bumped and bumped.

"stand up!"

The old master walked up to an examinee and scolded him.

He had a stern look. After the examinee stood up, he grabbed the examinee's braid behind his back. When he found a cheat, he shouted loudly and asked him to leave the examination room. He also cursed: "Nowadays, if you cheat in the academy, the most gentlemen can do is punish you." You will be forced to drop out of school because of your homework. If you are caught cheating in the exam hall, not only will you be stripped of your grades, but you will also be exiled to a bitter and cold place on the frontier, where you will not be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life."

Seeing this, all the candidates fell into silence for a moment, not even daring to take a breath.

Xu Xing didn't care about this.

In his previous life, he had gone through numerous major and minor examinations. When it came to what he learned from Confucian classics, he might not be able to compare with these ancients, but when it came to his mentality in the examination room, he was definitely among the best.

Russian qing.

The examination room returned to silence and examination papers were handed out.

A test paper filled with questions and four pieces of plain paper used as answer sheets.

The test papers are handwritten questions.

I don’t know who the handwriting on it was. It was written in regular regular script and was comparable to machine printing.

There are ten practical questions and three questions from four books.

The academy has a small test on the first ten days of the year and a big test on the third ten days of the year.

Today is a quiz.

Therefore, it does not take up too much time of the students, and the practical questions and the imperial examination craft questions are put on the same test paper. If it is a major exam, they will be tested separately.

In the practical subjects, Xu Xing did not cheat and answered the questions according to what he had learned.

Although he had difficulties with some questions, after thinking carefully, he finally came up with the answers and filled them in one by one.

He still knows what he learned in his previous life.

When it came to the three four-book questions, he thought for a while and wrote solutions to all three four-book questions. He also filled in the first two four-book questions according to the sample answers in "Thirty Thousand Choices of Big Questions" without changing a word.

The questions of the eight-part essay are from the Four Books, and the answers are instead expressed in the tone of the sage, and are elaborated from Zhu Xi's annotations of the Four Books. Among the eight-part essays, breaking the topic is the most important, which is equivalent to the essence of the eight-part essay.

After a long time, a bell rang and the exam was over.

Xu Xing picked the right time and finished writing the second eight-part essay.

After leaving the lecture hall, it was already dusk.

"Brother Xu, Anranju in the county is pretty good. I just finished the exam, so why not go and celebrate?"

"My treat..."

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Chen Jianan looked excited and shouted for a treat.

When he answered the practical questions today, he felt like a divine help when writing.

If you think about it carefully, the reason why he has made rapid progress is inseparable from Xu Xing's extra lessons.

It seems... using the method Xu Xing taught him,

He solved problems faster and used arithmetic more easily.

Although the basic mathematics of later generations has not made much progress compared to a hundred years ago, the knowledge has not changed, but the problem-solving methods and steps have made great progress.

The modern method of answering questions is simpler than the method of answering questions a hundred years ago.

Chen Jian'an's foundation was already good, but Xu Xing gave him the finishing touch.

"After taking the exam today, I feel that I still have some shortcomings..."

"Now is a good time to study. I'm going to stay up late at night and read. You go ahead."

Xu Xing entered the house, lit the oil lamp, and spoke.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before the gentlemen from the academy would ask him for questions.

As for going to An Ranju for a banquet..., he knew this was a good time to make friends.

But the prerequisite for making friends is that you have strength.

As long as he has the strength and doesn't put on pretense, making friends will definitely be much easier now.

Making friends is essentially an exchange of interests.

Although there are friends like confidants, confidants have been hard to find since ancient times...

"In that case..."

"Then go to Anranju tomorrow..."

Chen Jianan hesitated and changed the time of the treat.

If before this exam, when he wooed Xu Xing, he was wooing his classmates as usual. But after today's exam, he looked at Xu Xing differently. I feel that Xu Xing will no longer be a thing in the pool sooner or later.

Although it is not a rare thing, it is not a problem to change the date of the banquet in order to travel slowly.

"Move your butt, let's study together."

Chen Jian'an came to Xu Xing's side, opened the book case, found a copy of "Mencius" and started reading.

The two then burned up the lamp and read at night.

Until the fourth watch of the night.

Zheng Zhaifu came to the dormitory and knocked on the door.

With a creak, the wooden door opened.

"Jiaoxi Wang asked me to look for you. He... seems a little angry."

"What mistake did you make?"

Zheng Zhaifu asked.

He has a good impression of Xu Xing.

Since Xu Xing came to the academy, in addition to studying, he would occasionally help him with some chores within his power. He is a good young man.

"You'll know when you meet..."

Xu Xing bowed his hands to Zheng Zhaifu and said calmly.

After encountering a crisis... being able to keep one's composure, deal with things without chaos, and not be alarmed when encountering difficulties was a plus point for a person in ancient times. If someone is in a panic after encountering something, he may show his true temperament, but in the eyes of ancient scholar-bureaucrats, this person is someone who cannot be cultivated.

"I'll go too."

Chen Jianan followed the two of them and walked towards the lecturer's apartment.

…

Lecturer's residence.

"Say it."

"what happened……"

After Wang Jiaoxi and Xu Xing and others came in, he first asked Zheng Zhaifu and Chen Jianan to go out. When only Xu Xing was left in the room, he handed today's answer sheet to Xu Xing and said: "Your answer sheet is exactly the same as the model essay in "Thirty Thousand Choices of Big Questions", without changing a word. For example, the first question, The question is 'The Master Said', and your answer is: 'One man can be a teacher for hundreds of generations, and one word can be the law of the world'."

"This is an excellent solution, but it's not something you can come up with..."

He tried his best to suppress his anger, "Xu Xing, I remember that when you first entered the academy, you also experienced a lot of hardships when you were young. As long as you admit your mistakes and promise not to do them again in the future, what happened today will be over. You know it and I know it." , as for your ranking, you are at the bottom of the list, are you convinced?"

Everyone makes mistakes.

However... "Chun Qiu Zuo Zhuan" also says: "There is no greater good than being able to correct one's mistakes."

Wang Jiaoxi was willing to give Xu Xing a chance.

In his opinion, Xu Xing is a malleable talent.

"gentlemen……"

"Xu Xing first dabbled in Confucian classics, but failed to understand the words of the saints, so he was unable to answer today's three questions and four books..."

Xu Xing lowered his head, hesitated for a while, and then spoke.

Upon hearing this, Wang Jiaoxi nodded slightly.

If Xu Xingzhen refused to admit plagiarism, he would have to expel Xu Xing from Wei Jing Academy even if he tried to ruin his reputation.

If you are not good at knowledge, you can slowly learn more.

But people can’t….

However, at this moment, Xu Xing paused and said: "So I, the student, borrowed the classics from my classmates and wanted to memorize all the imperial examination essays to prepare for today's test... If I make any mistakes, please teach me a lesson." "
