Mr. Qiu held the student's paper in his hands and showed it to Wu Xingbang as if he had found a treasure.
After Wu Xingbang read it, he was not as excited as Qiu Teng.
In his opinion, there are many test papers like the one in Qiu Teng's hands in every provincial examination and general examination.
It is nothing more than talking about some big principles and talking about some big empty words, which will not help the matter or benefit the country. In the end, such candidates will be like Qiu Teng, an old Confucian who is looking for chapters and excerpts.
Wu Xingbang had heard a story before, saying that one year in the provincial examination, the examiner asked a question on the paper.
The title is: ""o"!"
That's right, the question is a circle.
Doesn't it stand to reason that the questions for the Eight-legged Essay examination should not come from the Four Books and Five Classics?
What's going on with this circle?
Hey, forget it, this test question really comes from the "Four Books".
Because the books of all dynasties have no sentence breaks.
Therefore, in order to mark the distinction between each paragraph, a circle is drawn in front of each paragraph before it begins.
In future generations, it will be like a college entrance examination essay question. The question in the exam is a comma, which is ridiculous in the world.
But there were two people with particularly high standards in the provincial examination that year.
What can be written in a circle?
This thing is just a punctuation mark. What kind of noble words can be summed up by the saint?
Hi, the two of you are really high-level and have a lot of imagination. You can really sum it up.
The first person broke the topic and said: "The saint first establishes his words and understands the phenomena of the sky!"
It means that before a saint like Confucius spoke, he was inspired by heaven and man. Before he spoke, the celestial phenomena had already appeared. So what are the celestial phenomena?
It's that circle.
This angle is extremely tricky. First of all, Confucianism does have a theory of telepathy between heaven and man. Every move of the king, every move of the saint, whether he eats or poops, will trigger celestial phenomena, and there will be signs. This candidate solved the problem. First of all, he is in line with the Confucian Li Kun.
Secondly, from the layout point of view, there is a circle in front of each paragraph. It is true that before the saint spoke, there was already a circle.
He regarded this circle as a celestial phenomenon, connected it to the Confucian connection between heaven and man, and finally spoke out a noble truth.
Although far-fetched, the angle of solving the problem is extremely tricky.
The second person had a completely different idea than him, and he talked about another way to solve the problem.
"The sage speaks first, and there is no square body."
What's the meaning?
People in society speak tactfully and without any sharp edges. Only after saints come out to educate people can people have principles in their hearts.
What is the solution to this problem?
Because Confucianism emphasizes that a gentleman is round on the outside and square on the inside, which means that I may be a bit smooth on the outside and pay attention to some skills, but my internal principles must be like a square, which cannot be changed or shaken.
Having said that, first of all, this story must be false or even fabricated.
Because it is impossible for the provincial examination to have such questions.
County examinations and prefecture examinations are pretty much the same.
The papers of the provincial examination must be submitted to the Ministry of Rites for archiving. Which examiner dares to ask such a question without having his head screwed by the emperor on the spot?
But why did Wu Xingbang think of this story after seeing this test paper?
Because, in Wu Xingbang's opinion, this candidate perfectly combines the [advantages] of the above two candidates.
He is very well read and very tactful.
This can be seen from the fact that he deliberately quoted the "Nine Fus".
Wu Xingbang, although he is very tactful, does not easily flirt with others.
But the more a person lacks something, the more he wants something.
In the same way, the more tactful he is, the less he wants others to be as tactful as him. The homogeneity is serious!
However, he still had to give face to Qiu Teng, who was also taking the exam.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Wu Xingbang’s.
He smiled and nodded: "Scholar Qiu has a sharp eye and knows the pearls. You can indeed obtain articles in this life!"
After saying that, he took the green pen from the case and wrote a larger "中" character on top of Qiu Teng's "中" character.
With these two in mind, if we look at the student's other six articles, as long as they are not too bad, he will generally be considered a Jinshi.
Of course, you have to pass the second and third games before you can be selected.
Qiu Teng happily placed the paper on the spot where Shou Yi had taken it, and then thought about wandering around again, thinking about finding something to do.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Wu Xingbang smiled and said: "Sister Qiu, you are already old, and you don't have to work hard like this. Sit down and sit down. If you have any good papers, the house officer will send them to you and me for review." "
Qiu Teng didn't have the kind of leisurely temperament. He said to Wu Xingbang: "Mr. Wu Ge, I won't worry about these people reading the papers if I go down again."
When Wu Xingbang heard this, he only smiled bitterly and followed him. After Qiu Teng left, he picked up the book and started reading again.
In fact, compared to the daily hard work, it was a rare free day for him during the trial period. He had already made up his mind to take the opportunity to rest.
As for searching for remains, in his opinion, luck itself is a key to success.
If you have no luck, it will be fine if you are deposed. It’s the feeling of heaven and man!
After Qiu Teng came down, he looked left and right, but there was still no article of the same level as the previous scholar.
At this moment, he found that a room official had just glanced at a paper and threw it into the basket next to the case.
The "only glanced twice" mentioned here means only glanced twice. Qiu Teng frowned and felt unhappy in his heart.
He also passed the imperial examination step by step. Of course, he knew that these scholars studied hard in the hot summer and cold winter just for this final examination.
But this room official actually regarded the scholar's hard study in a cold window as child's play, which was simply intolerable.
The old man walked up to the room official with a bang, picked up the paper in the basket, and scolded him: "Why did you just glance at this paper and stop looking at it?"
The Fang Guan knew how upright this person was, so he immediately trembled and said, "It's really not a good article."
Qiu Teng unfolded it and took a look: "Those who are good at managing money will be able to achieve prosperity."
Qiu Teng frowned. What kind of exam was this? This candidate was simply ridiculous. Did he really think that this was a businessman doing business? The beginning of the chapter is about the businessman's business path, no wonder he was dismissed by the housing official.
His expression softened slightly, but he still said seriously to the room official: "You just dismissed the student immediately after seeing the problem, right?"
The room official nodded repeatedly and said: "Senior Qiu, such a broken question is completely inconsistent with Mr. Wu Ge's Cheng Wen! That's why he was demoted to an official position..."
Qiu Teng nodded: "Forget it, forget it this time, be more careful next time!"
The house officer wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was mostly awake from drinking at noon.
"It's a risk, it's a risk. Who saw that the examinee failed the question? I just glanced at it briefly and stopped looking at it. As for the examinee's failure, I have already forgotten about it."
Qiu Teng looked at the room official, then glanced at the test paper, and saw that it read: "This is the way to make money. If you can do this, what will happen to the country?"
"Hi!!!! It's not that this examinee can't solve the questions, but he has succeeded in solving the questions! Brilliant! Brilliant!"
"I've been moving a lot in the past two days, and I've been too short to do anything. I'm really sorry!
People who write articles have a lot of troubles when moving. They are not used to the chair and can't write properly!
After changing the notebook codewords, various associations in the input method are missing!
The laptop is at the wrong height; the sitting height is wrong;
If you don't sleep well, your baby needs to eat.
My brain is going to explode! "
