Wen Family Has a Wife

As the saying goes, Wen Yuanliang, who entered the examination room, was no longer nervous on the first day. After the examiner had handed out the papers, he could still review the questions calmly.

This time, the topics are from "The Great Learning" and "The Book of Songs" respectively. They are not used as poems, but they have to dictate about a hundred words of "Sacred Encyclopedia". There are so many things to write, so he doesn't dare to delay, so he finishes the dictation part first. , and then devoted himself to the other two essays. When he finished answering the paper and put down his pen, he realized that many people in the examination room were already closing their eyes and waiting for the gong.

At this glance, he knew that he was still too confident. There were many people with better knowledge than him, and he should be more humble.

After leaving the examination room, Wen Yuanliang kept reflecting. After returning home, he went into the study after eating. Old Jitou found that his state was completely different from yesterday. rare.

Wen Yuanliang, who was studying hard, didn't notice the flash of appreciation in Lao Jitou's eyes.

Because of Wen Yuanliang's changes, the old Jitou became more and more strict with him. Even the dinner was sent to the study by the cook, and the old Jitou didn't let him go back to the house until it was time for bed. It's vain, but the old Jitou laughed at him, but he broke Wen Yuanliang's anger and left him in a daze.

Old Jitou laughed behind him, slowly pushed open the wooden window, and the moonlight poured in. He stared blankly at the stars and murmured, "After all, this world belongs to young people!"

Maybe it was because he was too tired, Wen Yuanliang slept very well that night, and only woke up when Shu Yan came over to call him. After washing up, he still ate breakfast and left the house in the dark.

The third session is re-examination. The content of this exam is more poetry and rhythm than the second session. The content of dictation is also different. It is equivalent to taking two more exams on the basis of the second session. Fu also takes a lot of time, but the test time has not changed. If he answered the questions according to the previous speed, he would be here. Fortunately, the old Jitou gave him a special training for a day yesterday. This time he wants to change the answering order.

As soon as the paper was handed out, he directly finished the dictation, checked it once, and then left it alone. Then he studied the questions of the Four Books and Five Classics and did it. According to the idea given by Lao Jitou, he did not waste too much time on it. After the hundred words were completed, I began to ponder the rhythm.

The so-called rhythm fu is "the four tones are divided into rhymes, starting from Shen Yue. Since the Tang Dynasty, the rhythm has been used to select scholars, so today's rhythm fu is also." Compared with ordinary articles, rhythm and rhythm also pay attention to contrast and rhythm. , is more troublesome, but fortunately, the theme of this time is what are the characteristics of Qing'an County. It is fine to write about scenery, people and food, as long as the candidates have something to say and do not deviate from the requirements of the law.

Wen Yuanliang was instantly happy when he saw this topic. The dry roast goose they opened is now a sign in Qing'an County. Since he can write anything, he can't let go of this opportunity to promote his own shop.

Maybe the content was just right to his taste. When he was drafting, he was full of ideas, and he wrote a full sheet of paper. When he came back to his senses, he realized that there was too much, so he had to deliberately delete it. After answering on the paper, Wen Yuanliang found that there was still a lot of time after writing the law, and he was relieved.

The last question is about writing a poem. The title of the first session is spring, summer, autumn and winter, but this time the title is "Winter, Autumn, Summer and Spring, but four o'clock." There may be the same question. Since they have passed the first game, it means that there is no deviation from the title. This time, the idea of ​​the first game cannot be used to solve the problem.

Wen Yuanliang focused his attention on the last few words, but at four o'clock, all he could think of was the passing of time, the change of four o'clock, birth, old age, sickness and death, all things come and go. Thinking of this, he began to answer on the scratch paper, back and forth. The revision, which not only revolves around the four seasons, but also sublimates the theme to the sigh of life, is indeed much more difficult than the simple description of the four seasons in the first scene.

After he finished the inspection, he put down the pen after confirming that there was no problem. At this time, the exam was almost over, and it was estimated that it would only take a quarter of an hour.

Wen Yuanliang was a little comforted, at least he answered the question much faster this time, not at the bottom.

When the gong rang for the end of the exam, Wen Yuanliang stood up, walked behind the crowd with his exam basket and left the exam room.

Candidates who did well in the exam looked happy, while those who did not do well were downcast, as if they were about to faint while walking. Fortunately, this is only the county exam, even if it doesn't take the exam next year.

Wen Yuanliang got into the carriage and sat down, then ordered the driver to go back quickly.

At the beginning of Wen Shichu, Chen Ningya was obviously a little uneasy. The third game was different from the previous two games, and the difficulty was much higher. I don't know how the child played? Not only was she worried, but Old Jitou was also restless in the study.

Wen Yuanliang was finally brought back, but Chen Ningya didn't dare to ask. She only asked about his physical condition. Seeing that everything was normal, she was relieved.

The old Jitou thought that Chen Ningya would slap and ask about the exam at the dinner table, but she didn't mention a word, and let Wen Yuanliang go back to rest after the meal.

Old Jitou laughed and said in a low voice, "You are calm! An unusual woman."

Chen Ningya rolled her eyes gracefully and said lightly, "I know my son, so I don't need to ask."

Old Jitou choked, snorted in disapproval, and walked away.

Madam Ding was helpless, "Madam, you are making fun of Mr. Ji again."

"Hey! He wanted to make fun of me, but I ended up being the first army!" Chen Ningya said disdainfully, playing with her nails.

Mrs. Ding laughed and shook her head. In the past few days, Mr. Ji and his wife have been secretly competing with each other. It seems that he is more determined than anyone else. The wife does not ask Mr. Ji or asks. In fact, both of them are in a hurry. Every time Mr. Ji can't help it. He was about to stab Mrs. a few words, but in the end, he always left with a belly full of anger, I really don't know what he was trying to do.

Over there, Lao Jitou entered Wen Yuanliang's study in a hurry, sat down angrily, took a sip of tea before looking at Wen Yuanliang, and asked angrily, "What's the situation today?"

Wen Yuanliang hurriedly wrote down the exam questions and his answers silently. When Lao Jitou was reviewing it, he felt that his heart was about to lift, and he was so uneasy that his hands and feet started to sweat, but in a quarter of an hour, it seemed that the four seasons had passed. .

Lao Jitou frowned after reading Wen Yuanliang's answer, and nodded slowly: "It's alright, if there is no accident, you should be able to pass the third game, and it's your luck, and the law just happened to be what you are good at, although the rhetoric of the article It's not gorgeous enough, it's not deep enough, but it's better than simplicity, and there's nothing wrong with it."
