I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

Of course, if it weren't for such an atmosphere, Gu Ming's Dream of the Red Chamber and Romance of the West Chamber would have been 404 long ago.

On the first day, Gu Ming didn't start writing.

In fact, very few candidates wrote on the first day.

After all, most candidates have not had a good rest, and need to adjust their mentality and spirit, and chew the exam questions carefully.

As the saying goes, sharpening a knife does not cut wood by mistake.

Only when you have a well-thought-out plan can you write like a god.

Although there are many questions in the first exam, they are generally three questions and four books, four scripture questions, and one five-character eight-rhyme poem, totaling eight questions.

However, the number of words required is not much. Except for poems, each question is usually about two hundred to five or six hundred words.

As an old saying goes: what is concentrated is the essence.

If you really have a mature idea, two or three hours are enough to complete all the exam questions.

The exam time is three days, so there is enough time for candidates to think and consider.

Of course, you can also write a few more articles for a question, and finally pick out the most satisfactory one and write it down neatly.

"I don't know if Gu Ming, a candidate from the south of the Yangtze River, will cause any abnormalities in this exam?"

"It's hard to say"

The four chief examiners had nothing to do, so they couldn't help getting together to discuss.

"The old man feels that the last time may have been just a coincidence, it just happened to be a vision from the sky, not necessarily because of it."

"Well, it's a pity to say that the poems written by this son really amaze me."

"What a pity? Why didn't Master Qiu say anything?"

"It's a pity that I don't do my job properly. I wrote a few messy books, but there are still many ministers in the court and the court, and the empresses in the border palace are also sought after."

"Lord Qiu's words are wrong! In fact, I think that Gu Jieyuan has created a clear stream for the current altar. He is lifelike and appeals to both refined and popular tastes. It is amazing."

"Hehe, Mr. Feng, you are afraid that you have read the sage books for many years in vain, as an old man, you haven't read his books, have you?

Of course, the old man looked at it with a critical eye

Although there are some merits in the whole article, it cannot hide its dross.

The emperor's kindness was great, and the emperor thought of his talent, so he made an exception and appointed him as Xie Yuan.As a result, this son does not want to repay, and pursues profit first.

The dignified Xie Yuan has to learn from those down-and-out scholars to write some folk vernacular books.

That's all, it's a disgrace to write vulgarly even though it's raw."

"Lord Qiu, as far as I know, the emperor has also praised Gu Sheng's book. By saying that, is it possible that you are questioning the emperor's vision?"

"you"

"Okay, stop arguing, my lords. This is an examination room. Wouldn't it be a joke for candidates to hear the quarreling between two adults?"

"Yes, yes, the examination room is an important place, and it is inappropriate for me to discuss the candidates' affairs"

After the persuasion of the other two examiners, a small turmoil finally calmed down temporarily.

Before I knew it, the sun was setting.

After working their brains for a day, a group of candidates ate something and fell asleep in the small dormitory.

Gu Ming took this opportunity to start writing

Of course, he didn't do the questions, but was completing the daily tasks of the system.

Even in the trial, you can't give up daily experience.

Especially after experiencing the Wangfu incident, Gu Ming realized the importance of strength and status.

The reason why the little prince is so arrogant is not because Gu Ming currently has no foundation in the capital.

If Hanlin is selected, how dare the kid be so blatant?

In the final analysis, no matter where you are, you must have dreadful strength or status.

1 Ninety chapters of the "Three Character Classic" appeared in the world, causing a sensation in the capital!

The second day, afternoon.

In the imperial study room, after the emperor had finished approving the memorial in his hand, he raised his eyes to the eunuch standing below and asked, "There is still no movement in the examination room?"

"Return to the emperor, not yet."

"Well, continue to inquire, and report to me as soon as possible if there is any movement."

"According to the order!"

The little eunuch bowed and retreated to the door, then turned and walked out.

In addition to the emperor, many people were also paying attention to the movement in the examination room at the same time.

After all, Gu Ming attracted colorful auspicious clouds during the last township examination, which seems to be miraculous in the capital.

The so-called seeing is believing, hearing is believing.

The vast majority of people are still skeptical, thinking that the rumors are a bit exaggerated, or like Mr. Qiu, thinking that it is just a coincidence and not necessarily the work of Gu Ming.

Several empresses in the harem were also paying attention secretly, sending people out of the palace to inquire.

Speaking of which, headed by the empress dowager and empress, many empresses in the harem have already fallen in love with Gu Ming's book.

Their favorites are Dream of the Red Chamber and Romance of the West Chamber.

However, these two books were criticized by many self-proclaimed ministers.

In their eyes, the books written by Gu Ming are not popular folk tales, and the lines are filled with many "moral corruption" words and plots, which are easy to teach bad women and children

However, no matter how they criticized, most of the empresses were rude, and they still watched with gusto.

Including many wives, young ladies, and talented women in the capital also regard it as a treasure, and it has become a necessary pillow book in the boudoir.

"Hey, why doesn't that kid keep writing?"

In the examination room, two fellow examiners watched Gu Ming closely, but saw him sitting quietly with his eyes closed.

"Could it be too much pressure?"

"It's also possible. After all, the starting point is too high. The last time I was hand-picked as Jie Yuan in the township examination, if I fail in the exam this time, wouldn't it make people laugh and be generous?"

"So the mentality of this exam is still very important."

"yes"

After about half an hour, Gu Ming finally opened his eyes, grabbed a pen and started writing.

"moved and moved"

"Finally start writing."

As soon as Gu Ming started to write, he immediately attracted the attention of many chief examiners or fellow examiners.

What he did first was the four book questions.

There is almost no difficulty in this question, as long as you are familiar with the four books, you can answer it.

After finishing the question, Gu Ming carefully checked it two or three times, and after confirming that there were no mistakes or omissions, he put it aside to dry, then pondered for a while, and wrote a poem again: Fude Guyuancao farewell

Lili on the grass, one year and one withered.

Wild fire, in spring.

Yuanfang invades the ancient road, and Qingcui connects to the deserted city.

Send Wang and Sun again, full of affection.

"No movement?"

"Looks like last time was really just a coincidence"

"This test can be said to be full of talents. How can it be so easy to get ahead?"

Many of the examiners present were actually jealous of Gu Ming, hoping that he would perform abnormally this time.

After all, Gu Ming's foundation is still shallow, his rise is too fast, and his sharpness is too strong, so it is inevitable that people will hate him.

Especially those who are arrogant and conceited, the mentality of those who think that their talents are underappreciated is even more unbalanced.

In the dormitory, after Gu Ming finished writing the poem, he closed his eyes and meditated again.

This day was calm.

At least on the surface, nothing special happened.

On the third day, that is, the last day of the first exam, Gu Ming finally completed the four scriptural questions in one go.

The number of words is not too much, the total of the four questions is less than [-] words.

After I finished writing, I checked it several times, and after it was dry, I folded it together, waiting for the examiner to come to collect the papers.

This also means that the first exam is over.

The second exam focused on the Five Classics.

In the morning, the test papers were distributed.

After getting the test papers, a group of candidates browsed first, and then fell into deep thinking.

Also, not many people choose to start writing on the first day.

But this time Gu Ming was uncharacteristically, and started to write after noon.

Several articles were scrapped during the period, and after repeated revisions, two of them were finally completed.

On the second day, it was still the same. I revised it several times and completed another article.

Until sunset, the sky was as usual, without a trace of vision.

This can't help but make the examiners discuss again.

Of course, not all the examiners are black Gu Ming, and there are quite a few who support him, thinking that the phenomenon of the sky can be encountered but not sought after, which does not necessarily mean that it will be like this every time the exam is taken.

Day three.

There is only one last question left.

All morning, Gu Ming was in deep thought and did not start writing.

Until noon, a flash of light suddenly flashed in my mind

This question is selected from the Five Classics, which is a famous Confucian saying. Candidates are required to explain its meaning according to their personal point of view. The number of words is required to be more than [-] words.

After thinking about it, Gu Ming suddenly thought of a wonderful and eternally famous text in his previous life: the Three Character Classic.

Since it is called a classic, one can imagine its far-reaching influence.

The Three Character Classic covers studies, history, philosophy, geography, human ethics, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, etc., and the core ideas include benevolence, righteousness, sincerity, respect, filial piety, etc. advocated by Confucianism.

At this time, it can be said that it is the most suitable for answering.

Of course, it cannot be copied from the original. After all, some history or historical figures mentioned in the Three Character Classic do not exist in the world of Liaozhai.

Then Gu Ming needs to modify it according to the actual situation to make it fit the current world content.

This point, with Gu Ming's current skills, is not a problem at all.

So he was refreshed, chewed the three-character poem several times in his mind, and thought of a modification plan.

Then, he picked up his pen and began to write eloquently.

This time, he used a wonderful pen to make flowers.

Although Brilliant Pen Blossom is an anti-enemy skill, it also has a miraculous effect when used for writing, making the written words appear more vigorous and elegant, as if the words are vivid on the paper.

"At the beginning of human beings, the nature is good. The nature is similar, but the habit is far away.

If you don't teach, your sex will change.The way of teaching is expensive to be specialized"

"Clang, clang, clang!"

In the palace, a melodious bell rang suddenly.

"What's the matter? Who's ringing the bell?"
