The theme of the poem on the first day is the spring scene, and the theme of the article is a passage excerpted from "The Doctrine of the Mean": "Sincerity and sincerity are called nature. Being sincere and sincere is called teaching. Sincerity means understanding, and understanding means sincerity."
Compared with the county and government examinations, which only test the dictation and interpretation of the Four Books and Five Classics, this kind of question can be said to be a level deeper.
Not only must you understand what it means, but you must also write down your own understanding, and you must also speak meaningfully.
As soon as the test questions came out, all the candidates were thinking hard.
Some people frowned, some lowered their heads in thought, and some looked at the sky.
After a while, someone began to pick up the brush next to him, dipped enough ink on the inkstone, and wrote on the straw paper on the case.
Song Jingyun picked up the pen half an hour after the exam started. Unlike others who drafted first, he wrote directly on the exam paper.
The examination started in the examination room and officials patrolled.
Academician Zhou Yuanjie put his hands behind his back and wandered back and forth in the examination room.
When I see someone writing hard and fast, I nod slightly. When I see someone with an ugly face, who still has no idea how to write, he has a blank face and starts writing on the answer sheet of the exam paper. The answer is Song Jingyunshi...
Zhou Yuanjie shook his head.
During the exam, the number of words for each line on the answer sheet is specified, and the article must not be written in such a way that the answer sheet cannot fit in it. If the answer sheet exceeds the limit or exceeds the limit, the student will be deemed unqualified.
The same applies if there are typos and omissions.
Because of this, during the exam, when everyone writes an article, they will make a draft first, make sure it is correct, and then copy it again to ensure neat handwriting and neat paper.
This is almost the default rule during the imperial examination, and everyone strictly abides by it.
Zhou Yuanjie is also used to seeing situations like this.
Now I suddenly saw such a unique...
Either he is a genius who prepares a draft in a heartbeat and ensures that he does not make any mistakes when writing, or he is a fool who is self-righteous and will actually suffer various situations and ruin himself.
There are very few geniuses in this world, but there are many idiots. Those who can be seen in the academy examination are of this age, probably the latter.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhou Yuanjie's mouth, and he continued to look around with his hands behind his back.
Song Jingyun was not distracted at this time and was writing his article slowly.
The pens provided in the examination room are only barely usable, and the purpose is to check the calligraphy fonts of each candidate.
Many people are used to using fine brushes that they have carefully selected, but now they are very uncomfortable using such a brush, and the handwriting they write looks much worse than usual.
Song Jingyun moved his wrist slightly at this time, and regular small characters in regular script appeared on the paper, flowing smoothly, as if they were printed on woodblocks, and were neatly arranged on the top, bottom, left and right, making people's eyes light up when they glanced over.
However, this is an examination room, and the candidates nearby cannot see it. Only the inspectors who pass by from time to time will stop and exclaim when they catch a glimpse.
However, it is useless to write well and neatly.
After all, this is a college examination, and the questions are not simple. Such a person who doesn't even have a big draft must be a stubborn person, and the article he writes must be full of conceit.
Without Song Jingyun noticing, many people secretly shook their heads at him and sighed uncontrollably.
After a week of inspection, Zhou Yuanjie took a short break, chatted with people around him, and asked about the supply of drinking water and food in the examination room.
"Sir, as usual, the examination room provides water and food to each candidate three times a day. The food for ordinary people is rice porridge, steamed buns, minced meat and vegetables in the morning, rice and potato slices at noon, shredded pork noodles, rice and When there is insufficient water, you can always add more.”
"Yes." Zhou Yuanjie nodded slightly, and finally asked, "Is there someone named Song Jingyun in this examination room? What number is he in?"
"Song Jingyun?" The man was stunned, "Why are you asking about him?"
"What?" Zhou Yuanjie raised his eyebrows, "Is there something wrong?"
"That's not the case." The man shook his head, "Song Jingyun was the number one in the government examination. He was the most powerful among the scholars in the entire county who went to the government examination. He had also heard about it, but when he was inspecting it just now, he saw Then Song Jingyun didn't make a draft, he answered directly on the examination paper..."
"I don't know if I'm really confident, or if I'm a little arrogant because I came first in the national examination."
The one who answered the questions directly on the examination paper was Song Jingyun?
Zhou Yuanjie was stunned for a moment, then touched his chin and began to think deeply.
Mr. Cao is an old friend of him, and he specifically told him that during the college examination, he must take care of everything within the scope of his authority.
Zhou Yuanjie paid great attention to it at first, and also wanted to see what kind of scholar he was, who could catch Master Cao's attention before he passed the college examination.
He never thought that such a person who made him curious was just a blindly confident person.
It seems that Mr. Cao still makes mistakes occasionally.
After returning to Beijing, it would be better to talk to him in detail.
Zhou Yuanjie made up his mind, but still gave instructions on his face, "The things Song Jingyun needs for the exam must be sufficient and delivered in time to ensure that he can take the exam smoothly."
Although I look down on such people, since I have already promised to others, I naturally have to keep it.
"Yes." Although the man didn't understand why Song Jingyun, who was born in a peasant family, received the personal care of Master Xuezheng, but since it was a matter assigned by Lord Xuezheng, he naturally had to handle it well.
While eating, Song Jingyun found that the bowl he was eating with seemed to be two times larger than the bowl he used during the imperial examination, and there were much more meat slices in the rice than during the imperial examination.
Is it because those who take the exam are all children and will become scholars after passing the exam, so the college takes special care of the candidates during the exam?
Because he couldn't see the situation of others in the dormitory, Song Jingyun thought about it for a while and felt that this was the case, so he ate happily and ate all the food.
When he finished lunch, Song Jingyun put away the article he had written.
It was still early now, and he already had an idea for the spring scene poem in his mind, so he lay down on the table and took a nap.
Therefore, people including Zhou Yuanjie shook their heads and sighed again when they saw Song Jingyun sleeping soundly during the afternoon inspection and then looked at the others writing furiously.
In the evening, hand in the exam papers for the first day, seal them and keep them, waiting for the marking after the end.
At night, the candidates slept in the dormitories.
People who couldn't sleep at night were tossing and turning. Some people could barely fall asleep, but they were woken up at any time. There were also some people who were snoring loudly...
Song Jingyun also had some difficulty falling asleep.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Because of a cold and a fever, I have a little tinnitus in my ears and my hearing is not very good. I went to the Approval Bureau today to do some work. The window asked me to go to Sister Baohua to get some information. Me: Looking for the security guard? Where are the security guards?
The whole room burst into laughter and everyone died on the spot...o(╥﹏╥)o
