Half a month passed by in a flash.
Since the last time Li Hongbi went to Qinhuai, which was ten miles away, and was severely beaten by the Dog Emperor, he no longer dared to go there openly.
After all, his wedding date to Miss Mei's family has been decided. Even if the marriage has been completed, there is only one final step to take.
Li Hongbi didn't want to cause any trouble at this time. He could offend Princess Ning for no reason and even affect the reputation of Mei Mansion.
As for the beautiful lady who met by chance in Mei Mansion, she can only be regarded as a temporary passer-by. There are many people in this world who can't love her. There are not many people who are more than Li Hongbi, and there are not many people who are less than Li Hongbi.
It's just that someone often looks at that earring and falls into deep thought, wondering whether they can meet again in this life.
All kinds of thoughts flooded into my heart and eventually turned into motivation.
Well, it motivates students to learn!
During this period, the three little ones have made great progress, which can even be described as rapid.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Either study, practice calligraphy and write essays, or be whipped. Naturally, the three little ones could still tell the difference between the lighter and the heavier.
In particular, the dog thief Li Hongbi has become ruthless in the past half month, training the three little dogs desperately and not returning home until midnight every day. It would be strange if he did not make any progress.
In fact, the process is just that, not much different from the college entrance examination in later generations. Even Li Hongbi felt that this provincial examination was much simpler than the college entrance examination in later generations.
The first step is to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly and have them engraved in your bones.
The second step is to constantly recite Hu Guang's advanced articles and those scientific examination articles that promoted people in Jiangxi.
In fact, these articles are all very similar, because the Jiangxi gentry have long formed so-called academic factions, and their writing styles basically have similar characteristics, and this is exactly the opportunity for the three little ones to win the election this time!
After all, Jiangxi is a major province for scientific examinations, and the examiner Hu Guang is a native of Jiangxi. Even if the scientific examination adopts a nameless system for fairness and justice, how can it be so easy to achieve true fairness and justice? things.
Examiners like Hu Guang can identify the Jiangxi style of writing on this answer sheet with just one glance, and they will definitely look at it differently!
Of course, this is not cheating for personal gain, but just support within the rules.
For example, the two articles are of similar quality, but one clearly has a strong Jiangxi style of writing. The answer is self-evident as to who the examiner Hu Guang will choose.
The third step is to start writing.
Li Hongbi didn't understand the Eight-Part Essay, but he knew how to take the exam!
In other words, this eight-part essay is actually a routine for the imperial examination, a set format that has just emerged. The three little ones only need to put the meaning of the article that they have memorized so hard, and directly follow the format of each step of the eight-part essay. Inside, then you're basically done.
The Four Books and Five Classics are the scope of the examination, and the articles by Hu Guang and others are the question bank. Li Hongbi also provided the three children with the scientific examination routine of eight-legged essay. As long as they practice hard in class and study the questions crazily, they will still be successful in the examination. Very promising.
Now the three little ones are in the stage of frantically writing questions. Li Hongbi selected a sage's words from the Four Books and Five Classics as the title, and then the three little ones started to compose the article according to the format of the eight-legged essay.
Of course, Li Hongbi couldn't understand the quality of these articles, but he would sway people if he couldn't stand it!
Hu Yan, the Imperial Confucian scholar, was a great scholar of the time and a well-known scholar. Of course, Li Hongbi would not abandon him.
So every time the three little guys wrote an article, Li Hongbi would pull Hu Yan to correct it immediately. Which parts of the writing were good could be continued to be carried forward, and which parts of the writing were good should be circled and marked with comments, and they would be typed back to the three little guys. Rewrite until you have an article with no errors.
As a result, with repeated analysis and writing, the level of the three little ones has improved by leaps and bounds, and even Hu Yan was a little surprised.
At this moment, he was looking at the latest articles written by the three little ones, with a look of horror on his face.
"This...this question came from you?"
"The king has issued an order to rebel? This is a treacherous question!"
Hu Yan frowned and looked at Li Hongbi subconsciously.
"Hongbi, why did you ask such a difficult question?"
The so-called "cut and combined questions" are questions that are composed of sentences intercepted from different sentences in the Four Books and Five Classics. Such questions are very different from normal questions. The questions themselves are pieced together at random, which is naturally extremely difficult.
Generally speaking, when encountering a truncation question, the examinee must first identify the source of the truncation question, that is, it is intercepted from the sentences in the book, and then review and answer the question based on the original meaning of the intercepted sentence. When answering the question, Answer by combining the original meaning of the truncated sentences into a whole.
Therefore, this type of question is extremely difficult and rarely appears in scientific examination questions. Except for some perverse examiners, they generally do not set questions like this.
After all, if the exam is too difficult and the candidates' essays are poor, the examiner will be held responsible and jailed!
The scientific examination is a national talent promotion ceremony, how can it be a piece of cake?
Li Hongbi took a sip of tea and said lazily: "Isn't this a way to exercise their abilities?"
"Although the questions in the Yingtianfu Township Examination this time should not be so abnormal, it is always good to let them practice and be mentally prepared in advance."
"If they can do the difficult questions, then they can also do the simpler test questions, and this provincial examination will naturally be stable!"
When Hu Yan heard this, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He could only lament for the three little ones.
I really don’t know whether they are lucky or unlucky to meet such a mentor!
Hu Yan calmed down and carefully reviewed San Xiaozhi's article, and then couldn't help but admire it.
"Awesome!"
"It's really amazing!"
"These three articles are exquisite, even enough to reach the level of Jinshi!"
"Li Hongbi, Li Hongbi, how on earth did you do it?"
Hu Yan looked at Li Hongbi in disbelief, with a look of confusion on his face.
He really didn't understand it, or couldn't accept it.
Two months ago, Zhu Yong, Qiu Song and Gu Xingzu were still playboys who were not even familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics.
But just two months later, under the guidance of Li Hongbi, they produced articles of this level!
If you hadn’t seen it with your own eyes, Hu Yan would definitely not believe it!
But that’s the truth!
Li Hongbi said with a smile: "Actually, it's very simple. It's just about analyzing the eight-legged essay."
"By dismantling those excellent articles on promoting people and promoting scholars one by one according to the format of eight-legged essays, we can analyze a set of excellent application formulas. Then no matter what problem we encounter, we only need to put this application formula into it, and the rest will be done. Wouldn’t it be much simpler?”
"In this way, writing an article becomes a fill-in-the-blank question. You just need to follow the application formula of the eight-legged essay and combine it with your own understanding of the topic, and just fill in the content directly from the topic. An article is ready like this! "
Hu Yan was dumbfounded and then a little angry.
"Aren't you misleading people by doing this?"
"Composition is a sacred article, how can it be so cunning?"
Li Hongbi smiled when he heard this.
"Master Jijiu, don't you think it's unconscionable to say this?"
"Composing an article is just writing an article. When did it become a sacred thing?"
"Thousands of students from the Imperial College have traveled thousands of miles to come to the Imperial College to study and cultivate virtue. Is it really to study the books of saints and pursue the principles of the saints?"
"Stop joking, okay? People write articles for scientific examinations, to gain fame, and to become officials!"
"The purpose of each one is not simple to begin with, so why are you pretending to be so clumsy?"
Hu Yan was startled when he heard this, and was speechless for a long time.
"Is this... really good?"
"Master Jijiu, why don't you ask those students? Do you think they will flock to me immediately if I make my method public?"
Li Hongbi chuckled lightly, put away the marked answer sheet, and then turned around and left.
"Master Jijiu, if you want to revitalize the Imperial College, I will teach you the method. As for whether you are willing to use it or not, that is not Hongbi's concern."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hongbi walked away, leaving Hu Yan alone in a daze.
After becoming a bitch, you still want to build a memorial arch!
These literati are so shameless!
