The book continues from the previous chapter.
At this time, the first session of the test was underway nervously.
The surroundings of Gongyuan were completely silent, and only the occasional splashing sound could be heard coming from the cabin.
Qi Yu, on the other hand, was serious and focused on reviewing the examination questions.
After the classics and meanings comes the time and texts.
It has to be said that the exam on poetry in this subject is quite heavy, with as many as ten articles!
This was the most stressful time Qi Yu had ever felt since taking part in the imperial examination.
You know, poetry has always been my biggest weakness, but now I have to write ten poems in one breath. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to think about it.
The head is a bit big.
More than one person has commented on his poems, saying that they are rich in craftsmanship but not spiritual enough. To put it bluntly, they are not vivid enough. This kind of congenital flaw cannot be improved in a short time.
What I can improve is only in terms of technique.
However, there are experts who have given guidance on this aspect.
This person is none other than Luo Yuan Luo Jijiu.
When I visited him last time, he talked about the layout and techniques of Shiwen.
For example, how to choose the best entry point when breaking the topic and establishing the topic; how to skillfully use the tone of the saint when starting the speech and starting the topic; how to use your own wording in the final conclusion, etc. wait.
Although these are only general directional pointers, they can effectively improve the structure of the entire poem and are very practical.
Of course, the central idea of the poem must be highlighted and the virtues should be praised as much as possible.
Qi Yu followed these techniques, quoted from other sources, racked his brains, and finally smoothed out these ten poems.
Okay or not, let's leave it like this for now.
As far as Shi Wen is concerned, he doesn't pursue high praise. It's already good if he doesn't hold back.
Continue to read the questions below.
Um?
Qi Yu couldn't help but feel happy after taking a quick look at it.
It turned out to be more than a dozen arithmetic problems with insufficient answers!
hehe……
Although the portion is also large, don’t worry, not only more than ten dishes, but even a hundred dishes are a piece of cake!
We are not good at writing, but arithmetic is our strong point!
Learn from each other's strengths?
Haha~~~
For the first time since the imperial examination, Qi Yu had a clear sense of superiority.
Moreover, it is rare.
…
Three days passed by suddenly, tense and fulfilling!
At the beginning, Qi Yu was a little worried, fearing that he would get sick or something, but this time he was overly worried. During these three days, I have been in good health, and the fried noodles without oil and water are delicious.
Has your physique improved?
of course not.
The reason is because of good luck, this time there was no air leakage in the stall. Although it was a bit cold at night, it was still able to withstand it.
The only thing that felt suffocating was the wretched bed. Because it was too short, it was very uncomfortable to lie on it and stretch out my legs.
These three days are very tight.
Because the weight of the test questions is so large, the limited time must be allocated as much as possible.
Review the topic, draft, correct, polish, and finally copy the transcript with confidence.
Qi Yu did arithmetic very quickly, which squeezed out a lot of time for other exam questions. Overall, it was barely enough.
As for performance, I feel okay.
Boom! !
The gong sounds, time is up!
Yes, the first exam of the general examination is officially over!
Then the papers are sealed and the candidates leave.
…
Outside the gate of Gongyuan, there was still the sound of Weiran sighing one after another.
Their consensus was that the first session was too difficult, especially the dozen or so fatal 'overs and understudies' arithmetic problems. It took a lot of thinking to solve only half of them.
Others lamented: I had heard that a wonderful book on arithmetic had recently been published, called "The Solution to Profit and Loss", but it was a pity that I did not bother to read it, but now it is too late to regret it.
Qi Yu's mouth twitched when he heard this: Huh? If I had known earlier, I would not have written that arithmetic book. Looking at it now, wouldn’t it be possible that it helped my competitors?
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure walking out of the gate of Gongyuan.
It was Yin Jun.
However, I saw that his face was as usual, he was relaxed, and he seemed to be performing well.
Well, this guy is a talented man. He wrote a poem in seven steps during the Deer Ming Banquet. As far as time and literature are concerned, he can basically do it at the drop of a hat.
At this time, he also saw Qi Yu, so he came over.
"How did you do on the exam?"
"Two women, both."
"Uh...really? Oh, I almost forgot, you are proficient in arithmetic." Yin Jun nodded suddenly, and then said: "But poetry is your weakness, and this scene is full of problems." Don’t you think it’s a big headache to take ten exams?”
Um?
Why does it sound a bit gloating?
Huh, you damn bitch!
However, Qi Yu was not angry. Instead, he asked with a smile: "What? From what you said, do you want to surpass me in this subject?"
Yin Jun was very honest this time, nodded directly, and then said with full confidence: "It's because of my strength that it's normal for me to surpass you. Don't forget, I won the Asian Yuan in the provincial examination." , although you stole the limelight, my achievements are still there."
Um? Haven't forgotten this?
Be careful!
However, you still can't show weakness with your mouth.
Qi Yu chuckled and said, "Remember..."
Yin Jun interrupted directly and said, "Are you trying to say again that you are the uncle?"
"So smart, my good nephew..."
After that, Qi Yu left leisurely, leaving behind Yin Jun who looked embarrassed.
Time is very tight now, how can I have time to argue with him?
Just go ahead and do whatever you have to do!
The second exam will start tomorrow, so I have to hurry up and buy food supplies today! Then you have to take a good nap to recuperate your energy and wait for work.
The body is the capital of revolution.
Only by adjusting yourself to the best condition can you successfully fight this tough battle.
Qi Yu bought the food and hurried back to his residence, only to see Tan Junyan sitting in the yard in a daze with a frown on his face. Looking at him like this, he seemed to have failed the exam.
I can only say a few words of comfort, but what else can I do?
…
The day flies by in a blink of an eye.
The next day, all the candidates got up early and hurried to line up at the gate of Gongyuan.
Today's verification and frisking was relatively smooth. Except for a few unlucky ones being clicked off, there wasn't much trouble.
Enter and take the candle.
After that, Qi Yu entered his own 'number'.
Alas!
No one dumped the Gong bucket, and it seemed to be fermenting...
hold onto!
Mencius said: Therefore, when Heaven is about to entrust a great responsibility to this person, his mind and will must first be tortured...his body will be exhausted...so he will be tempted to endure!
Yes, yes, I don’t have the sense of smell, I don’t smell the smell...
Take a deep breath, force yourself to calm down and mark the exam!
First review questions.
Haha, I got the essay test, and there are three major essays in this test.
Big portions too!
Let’s talk about the first two articles first.
One is about bamboo and the other is about pine. The themes are somewhat similar.
How to understand this kind of question?
From the central idea, it is to compare things with people, profoundly explain the importance of self-cultivation, and promote the so-called integrity.
Take 'bamboo' as an example. You must write the noble meaning of 'bamboo can be burned but cannot destroy its integrity', and then relate it to yourself and say something about using it as a role model to become a strong-willed gentleman. , and so on.
Generally speaking, the difficulty of these two articles is not very high. As long as the rhetoric is gorgeous, they can usually get a moderate rating.
Read the third article again...
Alas!
Isn't this too difficult?
