Wen Family Has a Wife

If it wasn't for the questioning words he heard outside Hu Wenzhi's study that time, he wouldn't be so hard. This year, although he was eating, drinking and playing with Bailiqing Shen Wei, he was studying hard behind his back. Like a hawk, Bailiqing and the others didn't know about it in the first few months, but only after Bailiqing wandered around in the middle of the night until they found out about it.

After the fight, Bailiqing and Shen Wei also sent him a lot of books and annotations from famous experts that were not available outside. In short, the two of them did their best, and the dean. Don't look at this man's old age, but his knowledge is There is really nothing to say, as long as Wen Yuanliang is by his side, he can always instill knowledge into him without a trace.

So many people have put a lot of effort into him, if he doesn't pass the exam this time, he won't have the confidence to pass the government exam in the future.

Hearing what he said, Shu Yan didn't dare to persuade him. He obediently packed Wen Yuanliang's things, brushed ink for him, and stayed up all night with him to study hard.

On the day of the prefectural examination, Shu Yan served Wen Yuanliang according to the procedure of the county examination to get up, wash and dine. Before dawn, there was already a sea of ​​people outside the Gongyuan. Compared with the county examination, the prefectural examination was obviously much more lively. Everyone had passed the county examination. , the quality is naturally better, at least not the kind of hypocrite who can't wait to export.

At 1000 hours, Gongyuan opened the door. Thousands of candidates received the initial examination in turn. They entered the examination room in a row. They entered the four examination rooms under the leadership of the four lantern children. Citation to find their own seat.

In addition to the citations, candidates are not allowed to bring anything in this exam. Pens, ink, special paper, etc. are all provided by the exam room. The first two exams take one day each, and the third exam takes two days. Quilts are also provided by the examination room, and each candidate is separated and has his own place.

Wen Yuanliang was lucky. His examination seat was in the middle and not close to the toilet number, so he didn't have to worry about being disturbed by nearby movements when he was doing the questions.

As soon as the gong sounded, the examiner began to distribute the test papers. Wen Yuanliang, who got the test paper, couldn't wait to look at the test questions. The first test was the Tiejing. You can choose one or both of Zuo Zhuan; the Book of Songs, Zhou Li and Yi Li of the Zhongjing can choose one or two; ” and “The Legend of Hubliang” are optional, and they can be written in dictation according to the specified paragraphs. This test is both memory and calligraphy.

It is said that every word is like a meeting, and a person's general character can be seen from a person's words. Those who can pass the county examination naturally don't have to worry about the word.

This year, under the supervision of the yard, Wen Yuanliang has made a lot of progress in his writing. Compared with the immaturity of the county exam, he seems to have some rules and regulations. What he has to do in this exam is to play normally and write the scriptures in dictation. down.

When Wen Yuanliang was writing and writing, other people also focused on the examination papers. When Wen Yuanliang finished writing the "Book of Filial Piety" and "The Analects of Confucius", the sun had already come out, and the candle by the table was half burned, so he hurriedly put out the candle , looked at the sky, lowered his head and continued to answer.

In the Book of Rites and Zuo Zhuan in the Great Classic, he was more familiar with the Book of Rites, and he chose the Book of Rites without hesitation. "Book of Songs" is not an unusual way. He chose "Book of Changes" in Xiaojing, not to say how familiar he is with "Book of Changes", but Lao Jitou has been studying "Book of Changes" so much that he In the past, I was often punished for copying the "Book of Changes" when I made mistakes. I wrote a lot, and naturally practice makes perfect.

This exam went well. As dusk was approaching, Wen Yuanliang checked his answer sheet again, and he raised his hand to call the invigilator when he was sure that there was no problem. Just let him out of the exam room.

Shu Yan kept staring outside the Gongyuan, and when he saw Wen Yuanliang's figure, he rushed over to help him, and carefully helped the person onto the carriage, and asked, "Master, how do you feel?"

Wen Yuanliang showed a relaxed smile, "Shang Ke, you know your young master,

Others are not very good, but this dictation and words can still be used, but it will be difficult to say tomorrow. "

Shu Yan saw his smile fade away, frowned slightly, and said hurriedly: "Master, what are you thinking about? It's still early, so when I go back, I can have a good chat with Master Baili, Master Shen, and the Dean. , you can go and ask the dean to give some more advice, there are always more solutions than problems."

Wen Yuanliang showed his face and knocked on Shu Yan's head, "You are smart, let's go."

When the carriage returned to the academy, Wen Yuanliang patted his forehead angrily and turned to look at Shu Yan, "Have you seen Feng's carriage?"

Shu Yan nodded, "I see, Young Master Feng came out earlier than you. He hurriedly got on the carriage as soon as he came out. The young boy didn't even have time to greet him."

Wen Yuanliang was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.

The second test is poetry, this time it is to test the talent of candidates. From poetry, you can see a person's literary quality. He used to write poetry and fu only in general, and the things he wrote were dry, even his own old man. Dad, who doesn't understand poetry and poetry, felt uncomfortable when he read it. Although Old Jitou taught him a lot later, he barely let him pass the county exam, but it was still not enough.

During this year, the dean was dedicated to making up for his weak points. Every day, he wrote three poems and two fu, which forced him to enlighten this elm wood.

Now, his poetry is not particularly outstanding, but he can do it well. At least the dean will no longer dislike it until he frowns at the beginning.

After the test paper was sent out, Wen Yuanliang first read the title, carefully recalled the similar articles he had done, and then wrote those poems on the scratch paper according to his memory, and kept revising them.

It's not that he wants to be opportunistic, but that these poems have been instructed by the dean, and they have also been revised. They must be better than what he did on the spot. With slight changes on this basis, they will neither step on thunder nor lack literary talent. .

As a result, Wen Yuanliang spent most of the exam day revising the poems he had written, and when he finished writing, he found that many people had handed in the papers and left the exam room.

This time, he looked around as soon as he came out. There was no carriage from the Feng family. It seemed that Feng Hongyu had left one step earlier than him.

Wen Yuanliang smiled bitterly and went back.

The content of the third test is policy theory, which is different from the second test. The test is about the candidate's problem-solving ability. The questions are set by the examiner, and the scope of the test is about politics, people's livelihood, etc. It is also much more difficult. If you answer the question well, it will highlight the practical ability of the examinee. If the answer is not good, then there is nothing to say.
