The first test consisted of three questions from four books and a metrical poem.
The questions on the Four Books test the understanding of Confucian classics.
The standard answers are all in Zhu Xi's "Commentary on Chapters and Sentences of the Four Books".
The only thing to worry about is doing stereotypes.
But for Feng Yibo, this part is already familiar to him.
I always make a rough draft first and then a rough draft.
The next step is to consider every word and sentence, and revise it over and over a dozen times.
The final draft was copied stroke by stroke in Guange style on the examination paper.
The same is true for metrical poetry. The situation is greater than the content.
It doesn’t require how stunning it is, just that the expression is smooth and the rhythm is flawless.
Three days passed without realizing it.
After coming out, I took a breather and went in again.
The second test was on the writing of the Five Classics and official documents.
The Five Classics are not a comprehensive examination.
After you have learned the Four Books, your teacher will help you understand the Five Classics.
After that, one will be selected as the sutra based on your wishes and expertise.
This is similar to later generations choosing liberal arts and science subjects.
And there are more choices.
During the exam, you only need to answer the questions from the book you are dealing with.
Feng Yibo dealt with the Book of Records, also known as Shangshu.
The reason why I chose it as this sutra is actually because...
The competition is relatively less fierce.
And the word count is minimal.
Among the Five Classics, the Book of Songs and the Book of Changes are both popular.
"Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are relatively unpopular.
After analysis, Feng Yibo selected this unbiased "Shu Jing".
Although obscure.
But in fact, as long as you study Cai Chen's "Shu Jing Annotations" well.
There is also Kong Yingda's "Notes on Shangshu".
That’s it.
For official document writing, it depends on the specific issues.
Generally, it is nothing more than edict, judgment, table, imperial edict and other formats.
In this case, Feng Yibo answered quickly.
He even took a day off to recuperate for the final performance.
The cycle repeats for another three days.
Finally came the last scene.
This one is about the Wudao Ce argument, which is somewhat similar to the application argument in later generations.
Most of them are opinions on current events or understandings of governing the country.
This is the only one among the three that expresses some of my own opinions.
Therefore, it is also the most testing of strength among the three games.
When Feng Yibo got the test paper, he was in a daze for a moment.
To be precise, he was a little shocked.
There were four of the five questions, and the three of them had discussed similar questions on the boat.
This is equivalent to Feng Yibo knowing the topic in advance and being fully prepared.
With the guidance of a scholar like Jia Yucun who has been a scholar for many years, the essence of the three of them is combined into one.
He only needs to list the three people's opinions and filter out the most essential parts.
Then quote scriptures to find theoretical support for these views.
In other words, these four questions can exceed his own level.
What surprised him even more was not this, but the only topic that had not been discussed.
What I'm asking about is how to prepare for Japan.
Isn't this a food delivery?
He dared to say that among the thousands of people in the field, he was the only one who had actually defeated the Japanese pirates!
Another three days passed by in a hurry, and the examination was finally over.
After Feng Yibo came out, he rested for three days before he finally recovered.
There's no way around it, being able to take the test is really a physically demanding job.
Fortunately, he performed better in each of these three exams.
Especially the last game, it was already an extraordinary performance.
If he still fails the exam, then his level is really not up to the mark.
"Little Master, I have everything you asked me to prepare."
Gouzi has been busy these days since he was able to try.
In addition to purchasing a few rough servants, he also took people to visit all the lively places in the capital.
This is a necessary professional skill for a long-term follower, and it can be regarded as a stepping stone in advance.
No matter where Feng Yibo goes from now on, he will be able to arrange it more appropriately.
Moreover, his shopping was not in vain, he also bought a large number of gifts.
This was all arranged by Feng Yibo long ago.
Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Go ahead and post the post, and follow me to visit Jia's Mansion in Rongguo in three days."
"yes!"
…………
Jia's Mansion in Rongguo.
Jia Zheng has been very happy for the rest of the month.
He loved reading the most since he was a child. When he was young, he was also a person who indulged in poetry, wine and unrestrained poetry.
But for some reason, he became a Zhongzhi official, and he was despised by scholars for joining the turbulent current.
On weekdays, he could only hang out with some Qingqing people and live the life of a scholar.
But in the past few days, he had been completely addicted.
Because his brother-in-law introduced him to a real scholar.
This person is also his "nephew" and was born as a second-class Jinshi.
He has a tall appearance and a good talk.
Jia Zheng feels impressed when talking to him every day.
He felt very resentful about this.
Because of his sister-in-law's greetings, Jia Zheng tried his best to help.
In the past few days, he has written the inscription and delivered it to the court.
By the way, I also said hello to my brother-in-law Wang Ziteng.
It can be said that this is one of the few times he has worked for others.
Presumably there will be good news coming back soon.
Today he was having a chat with his nephew, and his disciple came over to report.
"Second Master, someone came to give you a greeting card."
Jia Zhengzheng was so forgetful that he twirled his beard and smiled.
Hearing this, he took it casually and saw the name card written on it:
Feng Yuanyibo, a scholar from Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan Province, paid homage to him.
He glanced at the door with a frown and asked, "This man is from my hometown. What do you want to ask for when visiting me?"
"The visitor said that his master is a disciple of Duke Li of the Imperial Academy of Jinling. In three days, he wants to visit the second master and Grandma Zhu on behalf of his mentor."
Menzi took another look at Jia's "nephew" who stopped talking.
"In addition, he also wants to thank Mr. Yucun who lives in the house and Miss Lin's cousin for saving his life."
The benefits of taking in the dog were recounted verbatim.
"It turns out that this Jie Yuan is here!"
That nephew was naturally Jia Yucun. At this time, he smiled and said, "Mr. Zheng Rong."
"When we came out of Yangzhou and arrived at Gaoyou Lake..."
Simply tell the story.
In particular, it is quite interesting to tell the story of Feng Yibo shouting about the coincidence after hearing that Daiyu was a relative of the Jia family.
Jia Zheng laughed loudly after hearing this, and then asked his disciples to reply:
Zheng Yu greeted him at the mansion three days later.
After the disciple left, Jia Yucun told everything about Feng Yibo again.
The name of Yifu Jieyuan aroused Jia Zheng's curiosity.
I also heard that he was both civil and military, and he was the one who wiped out the Japanese pirates who robbed the south of the Yangtze River.
Xin Zheng is even more looking forward to it.
These days, there is a big earthquake in the officialdom of Jiangnan, and there is a lot of commotion.
How could Jia Zheng not know?
Unexpectedly, this person who suppressed Japanese pirates actually had such a relationship with his family.
He was actually his father-in-law’s disciple!
His evaluation of Feng Yibo immediately rose from an ordinary junior to the level of a young hero.
Three days passed quickly.
Early in the morning, Feng Yibo went to Rongguo Mansion with a cart full of gifts.
After the examination, it takes a month to mark the results before releasing the results.
During this period, he took a break and completed the tasks assigned by Li Shouzhong.
And there is.
He couldn't wait to thank Jia Yucun and Daiyu.
Regardless of whether they won the Jinshi or not, this examination really benefited from their strength.
