A little sweet through the fragrant

The questions for the quarterly exam are equivalent to those for the monthly exam, with one chapter each for "Four Books", Confucianism, Discourses, and Strategies.

This time there was a big hole in the question, a single-sentence question that seemed simple but was actually difficult to do well.

Because the meaning is complete and the titles are clear and clear, if you start with single-sentence questions at the beginning of writing, the articles you write are likely to be the same, without interesting points, and difficult to innovate.

Therefore, for this question, Ye Cunshan did not seek high scores, just being quite satisfactory.

As far as he is concerned, this type of questions has not been practiced for a long time. From Yuxian County to Fuxue, he is specialized in all kinds of small questions and interception questions.

It will also exercise reading speed and the speed of grasping the core.

When he usually reads articles or new books, he will randomly grab articles and practice consecutive chapter questions.

Today there is a series of chapter questions, and the number of words in a single question has exceeded a thousand.

This type of question requires a strong generalization ability and a thorough understanding of the scriptures. The article needs to be completed in one go.The key point is to make a high-level summary of the topic, and then plan for an article.

After Ye Cunshan entered the government school, there were more books at home, so he consciously exercised this ability.

Affected by many chores in the middle, I grabbed the topics while reading the book. At that time, I just made a summary. When I practiced the article later, I would pick from the topics I had grasped.

Although he didn't write many whole articles, he also had a careful idea. This topic is the second most difficult, and the most important thing is to engage in mentality.

The content is complicated, there are many clues, and the number of words is dizzying.

Once you are in a hurry, your heart shows timidity, and you start to be irritable, you will probably not be able to solve this problem.

It doesn't take much time to calm down and read the article through.

The Tixue Envoy walked around in front of him a few times, and first saw that he had done a single-sentence question. He wrote the pen very quickly, and the article was not useless, even if it was too plain and ordinary, and his views were ordinary. .

This kind of answer sheet can't get a first-class grade.

He didn't show clearly, and walked around the hall twice with his hands behind his back. Counting the time, Ye Cunshan could almost finish transcribing the "mediocre" answer sheet, and he walked over when he started the next question.

Seeing that he was starting to do consecutive chapter questions, he stopped to look at Ye Cunshan's expression for a while.

Ye Cunshan's face was dark, he looked fierce when he was expressionless, and his eyebrows frowned slightly when he was thinking about something, as if he had encountered a big problem.

Thinking about learning, although it is difficult to write an eye-catching article for a single-sentence question, people who can write without even thinking about it with a pen are probably the kind of talented people who study "scientific examination questions" at ordinary times. Unwilling to innovate and study.

Not belittling or ridiculing, Zhongzheng commented peacefully, focusing on "examination questions" will make him feel like a fish in water in the imperial examination field, and his actual skills and knowledge are extremely superficial.

Under such circumstances, naturally, you will not be stuck with difficult and thankless questions like Lianzhang.

Maybe if you take a look at it, you won't even want to learn it, so you will be stopped here right now.

Looking at the single-sentence questions, he felt that Ye Cunshan followed the crowd, had no characteristics, and lacked momentum.

Looking at the chapter questions, he felt that Ye Cunshan was inflexible, stubborn, and stubborn.

Ye Cunshan didn't write a single word, so it's hard to read after learning.

Turning to the front of the hall again, Ye Cunshan was already writing with a brush when he turned his head.

Don't want to be obvious, he has deliberately turned to Ye Cunshan several times, this time he went directly to look.

Tixue Envoy's figure is very "literati", tall and thin, standing forward, can cast a slender shadow on the examination paper.

Ye Cunshan's mentality is very stable.

He doesn't cheat, he has confidence, and he doesn't have the slightest fear.

After finishing the draft, he put down the pen, picked up the manuscript paper, and blew the ink on the lower volume.

Haven't finished watching the ending Tixue Shi: "..."

He walked around from the front of Ye Cunshan to his side, and he could see the answer sheet clearly.

Focus on this question accurately, master the answering skills, and have ink in your stomach, so you can write with spirit.

Seeing that Ye Cunshan wrote the article in one go, he also guessed that he didn't write it a while ago, not because he was stumped, but because he had an idea.

In the entire quarterly exam, he was the only one who tested Ye Cunshan on these two questions.

Now one is flat and one is good, overall it is considered excellent.

After reading this question, I didn't look at the rest of the questions. The farmer's son entered the government school with the first grade in the case. Routine questions can't stop people.

After handing in the test papers, Ye Cunshan waited for an interview.

During the college test, he deliberately avoided it because of his lack of strength.

He knew that the quarterly exam was inevitable, and he also knew that besides his uncle, there was also the old man Cheng Taishi who wanted to see the result, so he was fully prepared.

He is not afraid of the essay test, in other words, he is not afraid of the "Four Books" and "The Book of Songs".

I am most afraid that after the examiner asks him, he will be asked to make pairs and write poems.

Yes, when he was writing stereotyped essays, he practiced by the way—mainly Mr. Peng pressured him to learn.

The articles written in this way are also exquisite in antithesis, and can be read with rhythm, which can make the examiner read them happily, instead of stuttering on them, which seems to be strenuous.

It just so happened that Mr. Du also gave him a list of related books. After getting familiar with it, he slowly practiced writing short poems.

Before this exam, he specially researched a little poem about studying in the imperial examination, and revised it many times with Mr. Peng, and now he just took it out to fool people.

The Tixue Envoy stroked his beard, "I heard people say that you don't know how to compose poetry."

Ye Cunshan nodded honestly, "Yes, the students don't know how to compose poems, the one just now is already the best."

The Tixue Envoy treated him as humble and waved his hands to count.

Others are the same as when they were examined by Cheng Taishi in the study of the Grand Master's Mansion. In addition to the classics and meanings, the law is also tested, and you have to ask him what he thinks about it.

I also picked up a single sentence from his article, and made a small topic temporarily, asking him to chat casually based on it.

The results of the quarterly exams are also posted, but they are not linked to the grades of the students and the qualifications of the scientific exams.

He brought a sentence to Ye Cunshan, "Cheng Dayu said he was waiting for you in Kyoto."

This Mr. Cheng, he knew it was Grand Master Cheng as soon as he heard it.

If it was Cheng Lifeng, he would definitely not ask a teacher to spread such words.

Ye Cunshan thought of the useless scholar written by Yun Cheng.

He suspects that Grand Master Cheng has also read the script, and is still here to play some suppressive drama, waiting for him for 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi.

The relationship is not good, Ye Cunshan took him as a mockery.

It's over here, and the list will only be posted after receiving another leave.

He looked at the attitude of Mr. Tixue, and he could speculate on his own grades, which should be good, and he lived up to the day and night study during this period.

There are two days off after the exam, and the classmates make an appointment to go to the poetry club to "communicate" with scholars from other schools.

If you hear it, it will not be a friendly exchange, but the scholars have their own arrogance. This exchange is a literary battle, and they don't know how to do it. They want to be "gentlemen".

Knowing that Ye Cunshan is not good at writing poems, he assigned him a task today, with the key point being to ask people to "block poems".

Just like blocking wine, if someone wants to ask Ye Cunshan to write a poem, they will be "blocked" by classmates.

After Du Zhichun came to the government to study, he got involved with others and became a lot more low-key. He said that he went to block him, and was looked at with uncertain eyes such as questioning, suspicion, surprise, etc. He quit on the spot and rolled up his sleeves to talk to others. Three rounds were compared.

He has been rolling in the pile of books since he was a child, and he has the ability to write poems in seven steps.

The quality depends on the performance at that time.

Recently, he has held back a lot of inspiration, and he hasn't gone out to show off for a long time. He can't even hide his peacock feathers!

He was in the limelight all of a sudden, and the task of blocking poetry fell on his shoulders, and he was asked to pick a few people to compare, "You suppress their arrogance, they know how powerful they are, so they dare not come to compete in poetry again."

Ye Cunshan never thought that there are still so many people in the government school who can't write poetry.

Of course, the students couldn't admit it, and they had to find excuses, saying that they usually do too many essays and have no time to practice.

Ye Cunshan: "Coincidentally, me too."

Students: "..."

There are people who block poetry, and there are also people who block articles.

Blocking articles is not the same as blocking poems, focusing on blocking.

Rather, if we see that our classmates can't answer, we should go "naturally" to answer the sentence, so as to draw away the competition, and don't let the friendly side be rendered speechless by the opponent's fight.

There are many talented scholars who can make a fuss, and those who can go are all ranked high in the academy, so they need to help each other.

Among them, apart from Ye Cunshan, there are two other people who have posed for the poems. When they enter the arena, they will stick to each other.

"Don't stick to each other, beware of being ridiculed for three years when you lose a poem!"

Three years later, if he failed the exam, he would be laughed at for another three years.

A lifetime of shame.

Because of this, Du Zhichun asked Ye Cunshan to collect some hard work money when he came out of the government school.

"Writing poems for a thousand days, using poems for a while, nothing else to say, let your husband write out the story line of the number one scholar in another volume, my second brother wrote a letter to urge me."

Ye Cunshan didn’t remember, but Du Zhichun reminded him, “At that time, he was in Yu County’s study, and my shopkeeper Yu asked him if he could write a story outline with the same accuracy as “The Number One Scholar”. During the hospital examination, you said on the boat that the number one scholar turned out to be a waste scholar and started all over again. But he wrote it to shopkeeper Yu, and this number one scholar later became a famous teacher of a generation."

Ye Cunshan remembered, but he couldn't agree, and said he had to wait, "My husband has been getting heavy recently, and there are still two unfinished books in his hand. Fucheng Study is still reviewing "My Son", so let me tell him, But don't get your hopes up."

Du Zhichun sighed, "Hey, it's rare for my second brother to write to me."

Ye Cunshan heard Yuncheng talk about it, Ye Yan came over last time and said that there are more and more themes in Yu County, and the competition is fierce.

He wondered if it was because there were too many and complicated works, and there were no good-quality works. It seemed to be prosperous, but it was actually the reason why they couldn't sell at a good price.

"Won't the books in Fucheng Study also go to Yu County?"

Otherwise, why would the study in Yu County recommend someone to Fucheng when they saw someone who could write well.

Du Zhichun explained, "It's the same as our imperial examinations. We go through layers of sifting, and the good ones will eventually go to Kyoto. The study is the most important industry of the family. Apart from the imperial examination books, travel notes and poems, etc., the scriptures are the most important. For silver, someone wrote it well, not only in Fucheng, but we will also send it to Kyoto."

Didn't you do it yourself?

Ye Cunshan: "...then I'll just say it straight, I don't have time."

Du Zhichun: "You are free, you have two days off, you ask your husband to tell you, you write. I will block poetry for you, you have to do something about it."

Ye Cunshan responded casually, but he didn't really take it seriously.

According to Du Zhichun's temperament, if he is not allowed to block the poem, he has to be anxious, and he will definitely show off the audience.

So Ye Cunshan perfunctorily said "hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm" to speed up his pace to go home.

Halfway through the walk, he remembered that Yuncheng wanted him to take care of Liu Xiaotian's business at the poetry meeting, so he detoured to a small oden shop.

It’s all here, and the family also likes to eat, so he takes out copper coins from his schoolbag and buys everything.

It's raining during the day today, Liu Xiaotian is watching the weather, so he doesn't prepare many side dishes.

When it was almost dark, the rain stopped, and the business improved.

Now when I go to Ye Cunshan to buy, there are not many varieties, so I asked him if he would like to bring home the soup base, "You ask your cook to prepare the order, put it in and cook it the same."

The soup base for him was untouched in the kitchen.The soup base will dry out as it cooks, so Liu Xiaotian will prepare more, anyway, it won't spoil easily when the weather cools down.

He took a clay pot and filled it for Ye Cunshan, and made a basket with straw rope outside, so he could carry it with one hand.

Ye Cunshan took the soup base and bought all the leftover lo mei from the stall.

When Liu Xiaotian packed the food box for him, he also asked him: "You bought so much, can you finish it?"

Ye Cunshan: "I'm on vacation, I want to find someone to drink."

Liu Xiaotian felt relieved and gave him an extra plate of peanuts, not because he bought more because of the business.

This is Tiantou, and Ye Cunshan took it directly.

Before leaving, he also cared about the situation of Cunyin in his shop——Yuncheng really doted on Cunyin too much, and would help his children hide it. The head of his family left early and returned late, so he could be deceived by the two younger brothers in the family. in the drum.
