Chapter 134 Zi said

When Zhu Pingan was packing up and waiting for the papers to be issued, candidates came in one after another in the dormitory, and there were students and scholars in the neighboring dormitories one after another.

After about half an hour, I heard a sound of metal coming from the direction of Mingyuan Building. Looking up, I saw several command flags waving on Mingyuan Building, and then a vague sound came from the gate.

"Entry is complete, the doors are closed and the keys are locked, and the audience is silent!"

It turned out that the metal sound just now was hitting the cloud board. Zhu Pingan only realized it later, so the gate and the instrument gate should be blocked at this moment.

Hitting the cloud board means that the exam has officially started. The college exam has very strict requirements for the exam discipline. , endorsement and other situations are all treated as cheating, as long as they are discovered, they will be severely punished. So at this time the whole examination room became very quiet.

There are two exams in the college exam, one for the main exam and one for the re-examination. Today is the official exam. After hitting the cloud board, the guards distributed the test papers one after another. In addition to the test papers, each person also had five pieces of straw.

As for the test questions, they are the same as the prefectural exams. The college exam questions are also pasted on wooden boards, and several government servants walk back and forth in the exam room holding question cards for candidates to check the questions.

However, when the yamen servant started to walk back and forth in the examination room holding the question card, Zhu Pingan clearly heard a commotion from the surroundings, and then heard the sergeant standing across the sword shout, "Be quiet, if you dare to make any noise, you will be punished as cheating." .

Under the pressure of the cross-knife sergeant, the examination room became quiet, but sporadic and suppressed gasps could be heard from all around.

Could it be that today's exam questions are a little abnormal?

Zhu Ping'an immersed the brush in the well-ground ink, and thought with some wicked humor that the title wouldn't be something from a novel he read before. When I saw the novel, I went to check the information. The candidate who ranked first in the history of the question broke the question like this: "The beginning of the sage's study is also empty." This sentence is simply perfect for the circle. break the question. If this exam question is also the same, then wouldn't I be too rich.

But when the yamen servant came to Zhu Ping'an's place holding the question card, Zhu Pingan looked at the question and knew why everyone reacted like that after reading the question.

Among the questions, there are two questions for the Four Books and one question for the Five Classics, for a total of three questions.

The five classics questions are nothing. This five classics question is a post scripture, which is similar to the fill-in-the-blank questions we used to go to school, but the form is different. The post scripture test covers both ends, leaving a blank line in the middle for you to fill in. The post scripture question in the college examination is nothing more than a longer content to fill in the blanks. Zhu Pingan often reads the Four Books and Five Classics, so this question can be written at a glance. I believe it will not be difficult for other students and scholars.

The two Four Classics questions are, er, how should I put it, it makes people collapse.

The first question is just two words: Ziyue.

Just looking at the first question makes people feel a little headache and collapse. Zi said, Zi said, Confucius said that the thread is woolen, how can people break the question and write an essay!

However, when Zhu Pingan saw this question, he couldn't help laughing. That's right, yes, I have read this question before, and I have read an article in modern times, which is probably called Ming Dynasty Stereotyped Essay Appreciation , the article exemplifies such a topic, and also gives a standard problem solving.

Although this question is not the circle question I thought about just now, it happened to be read by myself, so after seeing the question, Zhu Pingan didn't feel circled, frowning, etc. like other people, but couldn't help but arouse it. At the corner of his lips, he smiled silently.

Uh, this examinee laughed back angrily at this question, it seems that he should be the one who was tortured the most by the question? The yamen servant holding the placard cast a sympathetic look at Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Ping'an didn't know that he was being sympathized with. After neatly copying the first question in lower case on the straw paper, he began to look at the second question.

The second question is much more normal. This topic comes from a sentence in "The Analects of Confucius". The Master said: 'A gentleman goes up, a villain goes down. "

There are three questions in total. Basically, everyone knows the scriptures. The gap cannot be bridged. It is these two four-book stereotyped essays that play a decisive role. The first question really makes people confused for a while. I don't know how to solve the problem. Fortunately, The second one should be normal, otherwise even if there are more cross-sword sergeants, they won't be able to suppress it.

Compared to other people racking their brains and battering their heads, Zhu Ping'an was much more relaxed and casual. He raised his pen and began to break the topic and make a draft on the draft paper.

The title of the first question is Ziyue, which is a small question in the imperial examination. The big question is usually multiple sentences and the whole chapter, and the small question is a sentence or a few words in a sentence, just like the first question "Ziyue" "It's a small question of two words.

Breaking the questions is the most important point of stereotyped essays. Maybe some lazy examiners will just read the questions. The so-called breaking the topic, in layman's terms, is to analyze the topic, what this article is going to talk about. Stereotype essays have requirements for breaking the title, and the rule is to use only two sentences. Although there are also three sentences, they are all long sentences with pauses, which look like three sentences. You have to summarize and explain the meaning of the question, but you can't just say the meaning of the question directly. Solving the question is the beginning and essence of stereotyped essays.

"One person is the teacher of a hundred generations, and one word is the law of the world."

Here are the two sentences that Zhu Pingan copied on the draft paper to break the title. This is the most standard break-through of "Zi Yue". What Master Bai Shi said is Zi, what the law of the world says is Yue, and together they are said to be Zi. The standard of interpretation is thorough yet domineering.

After solving the problem, it is the success of the problem. In modern times, Zhu Pingan only read the problem and the problem, but did not see the content of the problem, but after all, Zhu Pingan also studied the system language for eight years in Daming, and the problems were all solved. , It is much easier to accept the topic, start the lecture, stereotyped four ratios, and conclude. Zhu Pingan thought about it for a while, and then picked up a pen and wrote it in neat lowercase letters on the draft paper.

The standard eight-legged essay in lower case letters took less than an hour to write the first question.

When Zhu Pingan finished writing the first question and just put down his brush, he heard three drums from Mingyuan Building, and then he heard the nearby yamen servant say expressionlessly, "Drink tea and go to the toilet, don't make noise. Offenders will be punished for cheating."

Here is the time to drink tea and water and go to the bathroom during the intermission,

There is a water tank at the door of No. 1 house. If you want to drink water, you can go to the water tank at the door to drink water, but you have to get up to signal to the inspectors, and you are not allowed to speak.

At the end of the house, there is a manure hall, and there is a toilet in it, which is also the toilet.

At this time, Zhu Ping'an didn't feel thirsty at all, but felt that his lower abdomen felt a little bit defecate, so he got up and signaled that he was going to go to the toilet. Requesting to go to the toilet, I took a sign from one place and gave it to Zhu Ping'an.

Zhu Pingan took the sign with both hands and looked at it. There are words on both sides of the sign. On one side it says "Jing Jing" and on the other side it says "Out of Gong".

Zhu Pingan held the card in front of his chest before he was allowed to come out of this aggrieved room to go to the toilet. Zhu Pingan came out carefully, lest he knocked over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

After Zhu Ping'an came out, a yamen servant followed Zhu Pingan all the way to the end of the dormitory. He really followed closely and never left.

However, at this time, it really feels like a VIP treatment.
