Chapter 594 Motivation is coming

Although he was conferred the title, he still had to take the imperial examination, which Shen Zhiqiu was extremely dissatisfied with.

But there is also an advantage. These days, even though the news of him becoming the Earl of Loyalty and Righteousness has spread, no one has come to his house to annoy him.

For example, none of the official and private matchmakers who proposed marriage came, just like the county magistrate, county magistrate, and official, who are now regretting it to their core.

At that time, I believed the rumors that Shen Zhiqiu had offended someone. I didn't send anyone to propose marriage to him because I was not sober-minded. Now it is impossible to get close to him because he is a nobleman after all.

As for some real officials in the court and nobles who matched their status, to be honest, they did not take the Nine Clans or even Earl Shen Zhiqiu seriously at that time.

Even though he became an earl and his status was raised, his foundation was too weak and he didn't know what would happen to him in the future.

The above reasons led to the fact that, although he still had to continue studying hard at home, he didn't need to worry about other things.

As the days passed, in Shen Zhiqiu's eyes, he thought he was getting up at the crack of dawn, being meticulous, focused, forgetting to eat and sleep, and working tirelessly, all he needed to do was to work himself to death.

But in fact, in the eyes of the whole family,

Don't read while lying down, you'll fall asleep if you lie down for a while.

Sometimes he said he was thirsty, sometimes he said he was hungry, and sometimes he started running to the toilet.

It is true that I got up very early, but after getting up I had to do this and that and it took me a long time before I could get to my desk.

Shen Youyou was drinking tea while checking some rare books and imperial examination materials that Fu Huaian had asked A Chi to send over a few days ago. It can only be said that capable people do find different things.

Inadvertently, he saw his father had fallen asleep on the table.

I just made up my mind, but not long after, laziness sets in again.

She coughed.

Shen Zhiqiu sat up immediately and said in a daze, "Where did you see just now? Ah, the Spring and Autumn Justice?"

Shen Youyou almost laughed to death, but her face was full of disappointment.

"Dad, let's do a mock test. I'll give you some questions. If you can do well enough, how about giving you a few days off?"

Shen Zhiqiu became excited after hearing this. He thought that he had really learned a lot recently, and he always had an inexplicable sense of confidence in his heart.

Even if I cannot get the first place again in the imperial examination, there will be no problem in passing it.

So Shen Youyou quickly gave two sets of questions and even maliciously chose the "cut-and-match questions".

The so-called "cut-and-match questions" are made by splitting the scriptures and changing the question-making method.

This may not be intuitive enough. For example, if a normal eight-part essay topic is "Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice what one has learned from time to time?", as long as the candidates have read "The Analects of Confucius - Learning", understand Zhu Xi's annotations and grasp their meaning, they can review the topic and answer it.

"Jieba Topic" means to force a topic into a topic. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there was a topic called "Those who love the ancients and are quick to seek them".

The title is taken from the passage in The Analects - Shu Er: "The Master said, I am not one who knows by nature, but one who is fond of antiquity and is quick to seek knowledge."

At the same time, according to different interception methods, it is divided into long set, short set, emotional set and ruthless set.

Candidates need to quickly find the source of these seemingly plausible sentences, identify the internal connections, and make sense of them. The difficulty increases exponentially.

However, this type of question can only be regarded as a relatively simple question type, because as long as the candidates are familiar with the "Four Books and Five Classics", they can often quickly restore the original question and solve it.

Well, she was deliberately making things difficult for her father, so she had to be dealt a blow, especially since it seemed that her father was a little bit out of control these past few days.

However, although the first set of questions contained "interpolated questions", the difficulty level still met the standards for the provincial examination.

Shen Zhiqiu answered quite smoothly.

However, when the second set of questions came out, if he used the grading method of his previous life, he would probably fail.

Li Jingshu was so confused that she secretly asked her daughter, "Hey, what's wrong with the questions you asked? How can the difference be so big?"

Shen Youyou said this in front of his father:

"Dad, it seems that you still can't slack off. The first set is to test your mastery of the previous knowledge. It is true that you have mastered it well, but the rest are mostly taught by me. How come all these have been learned in vain?"

After seeing his father continue to read with a depressed look on his face, she and her mother went to the kitchen to cook and then secretly told him the truth.

"Actually, my father is OK. He will definitely pass the provincial examination, but it's hard to say what rank he will get. As for the questions I asked, they are very rare and will never appear in an imperial examination. Even if they do appear, I don't think many people in the audience will be able to answer them."

"Why are you giving him those things that are beyond the syllabus? He has no interest in learning in the first place, so don't let this dampen his enthusiasm!"

"Shh, Mom, please keep your voice down so that my dad doesn't hear me. I was actually surprised that he could answer these questions. I guess he guessed based on the meaning of the questions.

My father has the memory and vision of his previous life, and his comprehension ability is also very strong, but his level of seriousness in learning is far behind his original self, so from time to time, I have to give him some motivation. "

There is something Shen Youyou didn't say, her father is not focused on studying. If he could really focus on studying, he would definitely have no problem in the imperial examination.

She also wanted her husband to be successful. After all, in the eyes of a top student like her, passing the exam is not a big deal. What matters is being among the best or even the top of the list.

Hearing this, Li Jingshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when facing Shen Zhiqiu, the mother and daughter still had to act.

Shen Youyou packed up and went to the workshop to see how her sisters were doing with their new hairpin research. She also went out for a walk and rested her eyes after a day of reading.

As soon as she left the house, Li Jingshu came back into the study room with some tea and snacks, sighing as he spoke:

"Look at the test you did. Your daughter is going to be depressed. You should be more careful."

Shen Zhiqiu saw his daughter's lonely back as she walked out, and sincerely thought that his daughter was very disappointed in him.

That back view...ah!

Shen Zhiqiu's handsome face suddenly turned red: "You go out, I'm reading a book quietly by myself."

To be honest, this reaction caught Li Jingshu off guard. She thought that Old Shen was as calm as a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

But she was more than happy to have someone so honest.

It was also from this day on that Shen Youyou spent very little time at home during the day, but Shen Zhiqiu actually felt really stressed.

As long as he had the slightest desire to be lazy, he would be less talkative when thinking about his daughter these days...

He really felt sorry for his daughter. His daughter was a girl and she didn't want to eat good food or play anything. He just stayed with him all day and summarized knowledge for her.

As a result, you may not even pass the exam.

He felt very guilty inside, and as a father, his child was already in such a state, he could not continue to be lazy.

I really think that the only thing missing is to put up banners with words like "come on" and "struggle" all over the room.

Even when Shen Luming came home from school and saw his father, his eyes were full of admiration and he wanted to be like his father.
