Chapter 136 Retest
Every student who came out of Jiangnan Gongyuan covered their noses and walked around a fat man. The smell of this guy was really unacceptable.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the fat man three meters away who had runny nose and tears. He couldn't bear it and said:
"Brother Xue, it is useless to be sad at this point. It is better to fill up the matter first." Fill your stomach, I'll be the host."
As soon as Zhu Ping'an finished saying this, he heard the fat man three meters away, with snot and tears flowing down his throat, yelling, and he lay down on the roadside and started driving again. Vomit up.
Well, it seems like I shouldn’t bring up topics related to food.
Under Fatty's pleading, Zhu Ping'an did not leave Fatty alone in the end, but still kicked Fatty to the inn and asked the store clerk to send him to Fatty's room, where he asked Fatty to fuck him from top to bottom. Come on, don't act like a humanoid biochemical weapon.
While Fatty was scrubbing upstairs, Zhu Pingan was sitting by the window in his room reading. The eight-part essay questions in the imperial examination are limited to four books. The more you read the questions several times, the more confident you will be.
When the fat man came downstairs after washing himself and changing into clean clothes, Zhu Pingan collected the books and followed the fat man downstairs to the inn lobby for dinner.
However, the fat man left a psychological shadow after all. He didn't eat a bite of dinner, not even a sip of soup. Zhu Pingan was helpless about this. You cannot wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep, nor can you feed someone who vomits at the sight of food.
Many scholars were sitting in the lobby of the inn. They gathered together in twos and threes to have dinner and criticize today's test questions. The main focus was on the Dao Ziyue question. It seemed that many people were confused about this question and didn't know where to start.
The night is quiet, the moon is dim, and the breeze blows the yarn. Zhu Ping'an sat by the window until the watchman rang the third watch, and then he packed his things. He turned off the oil lamp, walked to the bed, and fell asleep.
On the second day, before dawn, Zhu Pingan got up early to prepare for the last test of the college examination - the re-examination.
The fat man got up early as usual and asked Zhu Pingan to take the exam, but he disappeared all night. The fat man lost a lot of weight, and his forehead seemed to be very blue.
"Your head..." Zhu Ping'an looked at the fat man's green forehead and was speechless.
"Oh, I came across this specifically, the high school door beam! What a blessing!" The fat man was a little smug.
Okay. You win.
When he walked to the bridge connecting the two sides of the Qinhuai River, he met his uncle and others who were crossing the bridge from the other side. Zhu Pingan really didn’t know what to say to this.
"Xie'er, how was the test yesterday?" Uncle Zhu Shouren yawned and asked with concern.
"Yesterday's question..." Zhu Ping'an was interrupted by his uncle before he finished speaking.
"You also think yesterday's questions were difficult, right? Well, it doesn't matter, you are still young. It would be better if you take the test more often." Uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and comforted, "It would be a pity, if the questions were more normal. Then. Your identity as the head of the examination has been confirmed. It’s a pity for you that the questions are a bit more difficult this time.”
Uh
Zhu Pingan...
Today is the second round, the retest.
The entry procedure is the same as last time. After the roll call, the guards will lead you to the room to continue the exam.
That's right, it's still the same room as last time.
I can't help but sympathize with fat Xue Chi. This guy will probably have to vomit for another day.
The retest is actually compared to yesterday’s main test. The importance is slightly less important. Ming Dynasty had requirements on the time for grading examination papers, and gave the examiners about ten days for grading examination papers. There are so many candidates and so few examiners. Ten days of grading time is too short. In order to complete the grading work as soon as possible, the examiners have made it a rule that the first eight-part essay paper is the most important thing in the grading work. If time is tight, you may only be able to skim through the first exam papers. At this time, if you did well on the first test paper, then congratulations to you. If the examiner thinks you did well on the first test paper, then you will be able to pass. As for the second, third and so on, you will be able to go to heaven. ; On the contrary, if you don’t answer the test well in the first exam, it will be embarrassing. If you don’t do well in the first exam, who cares what happens next? Even if you do well in the next few exams, you probably won’t be able to make a difference.
Of course, this does not mean that the re-examination is not important. The grader still depends on the quality of your answers, especially the eight-part essay, which has a fixed format, so it is easier to fairly judge the quality of your article.
After hitting the cloud board, the test papers were handed out. Several government officials held up placards with questions and asked students to read the questions in the aisle in front of the dormitory.
Today's test questions are fewer than yesterday's. There are two four-book and eight-part essay questions, and one less common test poem. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, there were no examinations for poems in the provincial examinations, general examinations, and palace examinations. Even in the boy examination, it was rare because Taizu was disgusted with it. However, after the middle period, Taizu's influence weakened, and there were occasionally poems in the boy examination. But there are very few, and the evaluation mainly relies on reading four books and eight-legged essays.
The questions of the two four-book and eight-legged essays are not like yesterday's Taoist saying, which is more orthodox. The first question is "Don't be afraid of correcting if you have made mistakes." It comes from "The Analects". Confucius said: "A gentleman will not be respected if he is not serious. If he learns, he will not be respected." It is not solid. Be loyal and trustworthy. If you have no friends who are worse than yourself, don’t be afraid of correcting your mistakes.” The second question is a long sentence, “A good person in a locality should be friends with a good person in a country. A good person in a country should be friends with a good person in the world.” "Good Scholar", from "Mencius".
Both of these questions are relatively orthodox, and are not difficult for students and scholars who often do Eight-part essays. How well you do Eight-part essays depends on your skills.
However, the last test poem is a trap, the title is "Yellow Flowers Like Scattered Gold".
There is a sentence in "Book of Rites" that says, "In the autumn month, chrysanthemums have yellow flowers." It is estimated that many candidates will write poems based on this, and write about autumn scenery, chrysanthemums, etc. If you write it like this, it will be completely off topic.
When Zhu Ping'an saw this question, he was a little grateful to the sinister and arrogant girl in Shanghe Village. If it weren't for her, he would have gone off topic.
The last time I returned home, I went to Li's house many times to borrow books to copy, but most of them were the Four Books, Five Classics and Eight Parts. The overbearing girl once laughed at herself for being a toad-clamping idiot. After teasing her with language, the girl asked herself this poem and found herself After saying it was a chrysanthemum, the girl laughed at her for a long time. She threw herself a book of poems and laughed at herself, "Chrysanthemums and rape flowers are safe and stupid, and I can't tell them apart."
There are two consecutive poems in the poems. Ancient poems include "Selected Works" by Liang Xiaotong in the Southern Dynasty and "Lonely View" by Sikong Tu in the Tang Dynasty. There are poems in the second book: "The green strips are like green, and the yellow flowers are like scattered gold." "The green trees cover the village in darkness, and the yellow flowers are like wheat." Therefore, Zhu Ping'an knew that yellow flowers did not refer to chrysanthemums, but to rapeseed flowers in spring. This examination poem was to describe the spring scene. He did not know how many candidates who were not good at school and careless would fall into the trap set by the examiner.
Zhu Pingan first copied all three questions on the draft paper with his pen and ink, and then began to conceive and draft.
Time passed quietly in the splash of ink. The rising sun watched me enter the venue, the scorching sun monitored my answer sheet, and the setting sun saw me off. When Sunset, unwilling to sink, finally couldn't bear the loneliness and had a shy date with Xishan, Zhu Ping'an walked out of Jiangnan Gongyuan.
"Come on, come on, brother Zhu, let's appreciate this poem of mine. The yellow flowers are like scattered gold, and the chrysanthemums are floating in the golden wind..."
As soon as Zhu Ping'an left the tribute courtyard, he heard a familiar shout and raised his head. I saw fat Xue Chi walking from a distance with two balls of cotton stuffed in his nose and a fat face smiling like a chrysanthemum.
Chrysanthemum? It’s your sister’s chrysanthemum! Those are rapeseed flowers, brother!
Zhu Ping'an looked at the fat man speechlessly, "Okay, fat brother, you'd better go home and ask your father to donate a prisoner to you."
