As the gong sounded at the end of the exam, the door of the examination room slowly opened, and all the students stepped in.
The candidates who thought they had performed well looked at the setting sun and people returning outside the examination room and breathed a sigh of relief.
The children’s exam is almost over!
Sheng Yuan, who returned home beautifully, was still unaware of the worries of her parents.
She rolled around several times in the carriage relaxedly at this moment.
He breathed a long sigh of relief, lying on the couch leisurely, resting his hands on his hands and sighing with Xiaoyao: "I will not participate in this provincial examination. Thinking about it like this, the excitement after the examination has been sublimated a lot!"
Xiaoyao fanned her, nodded cooperatively, and skillfully did not ask her how she did in the exam, but only told her some interesting anecdotes outside the exam room.
However, this conversation did not last long. Sheng Yuan happily answered a few words, and then the upper eyelids started fighting with the lower eyelids. After a while, without knowing which side surrendered, the pair of eyelids became quiet. Also quiet was Sheng Yuan, who was fast asleep.
It wasn't until she returned home that Sheng Yuan sat up, rubbing her eyes and yawning.
When she skipped to the main courtyard, her sister was already sitting at her parents' knees, talking.
"Dad! Mom! Sister! I'm back!" Sheng Yuan greeted her excitedly, and got in between her sister and mother. She leaned against her sister in a familiar manner and smiled cutely at her mother.
Sheng An: "..."
She is like a cushion when you hold her together!
Sheng Ran poked the girl's waist with her finger, nodded with satisfaction, pinched her fleshy cheek, and asked, "How did you go in the exam? Do you want to congratulate you on your little three yuan?"
"No rush! No rush! Let's talk after the results are done!" Sheng Yuan smiled and shook her head. The words she said seemed modest based on the words alone, but with her tone, it was different.
She turned around and asked Sheng Ran: "How did my sister do in the exam?"
Sheng An touched her head and said with a smile: "It's far from satisfactory!"
Seeing that she was puzzled, he added: "I don't know much about actual politics, and I have never paid attention to the governance of a city or a county, so I can only improvise on paper. I don't know whether it is appropriate or not. It all depends on whether the examiner likes it or not." ”
Sheng Yuan nodded when she heard this and said to herself that her sister wanted to talk but refused to finish it. She didn't look like an honest person, so her grades would definitely not be too bad.
"Okay, as soon as I walked in, I heard you chattering lively. For those who didn't know, I thought your sister was the only one taking the exam in our family!" Sheng Xiangxun was unhappy. After seeing his two daughters, he felt much better. Later, I was even in the mood to ask my daughters for specific answers.
Since the Imperial College was in charge of Sheng Ran's exams, they could bypass the path and go the same way. She could come back two-quarters of an hour earlier than Sheng Yuan, so Sheng Yuan was the only one who could answer her father's questions at the moment.
Sheng Yuan was also unambiguous and gave the general outline of the answers to the five questions in one breath.
Although Sheng Xiangxun has never been to any place, he has been an official for a long time, and he can accumulate a lot of paper experience just by reading the Di newspaper, not to mention that when chatting with colleagues and friends, it is always inevitable to brag about his political achievements. Ability, such as local governance of various situations, is an example they use to boast.
After hearing too much bragging, he would inevitably gain some insights. In addition, he sought advice from teachers and cousins to identify whether it was a lie, which increased his unused abilities. As a result, Sheng Xiangxun's theoretical and administrative abilities have made great progress.
Just like at this moment, he had the ability to identify whether his youngest daughter's answers were good enough.
"In the second question, there are refugees before you and there are invaders behind you. What you are talking about is 'Use etiquette and justice to order the people into the army, strengthen the people and drive away the invaders'."
Sheng Xiangxun heard the general idea. Although his youngest daughter didn't admit it, he always felt that this girl's moral education was not what ordinary people thought.
Of course, it didn't matter how he thought it was, as long as the little girl could convince the examiner to appreciate her.
He did not talk about his little daughter's answer, but just nodded and continued: "The way to encourage students to study in a desolate land for your third question is to use the sages as examples and tirelessly 'persuade' them so that they know their shame, understand righteousness, and feel ashamed Will you be inspired to study later?"
Sheng Yuan nodded while eating the snacks, her big eyes blinking rhythmically.
Sheng Xiangxun saw her eyes turning cunning, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, and tapped her forehead lightly with the book: "I felt it was particularly noisy just when you wrote the word 'persuasion'. It's a pity that the examiner didn't know what was going on." It’s mysterious, but it’s okay, your method sounds ordinary, and I think it’s in line with the views of mainstream bachelors.”
Recently, there has been a retro trend in Shilin. Many people admire the era of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods when rituals and music were played together, and they like to use righteousness to persuade and educate students.
Sheng Xiangxun had always scorned this. Those nerds just relied on being teachers and bullied students who could not resist. If they walked out of school and met a real bastard, they would not know who would teach whom.
"Very good, very good! This exam, especially before the palace exam, is not for you to show your personality!"
Sheng Xiangxun winked at his youngest daughter and praised her.
Then he continued with a smile: "However, although you often blur the details, the method of revitalizing a county given in the fourth question is somewhat interesting."
The fourth question is about how to make a place with a declining economy and poor natural conditions prosperous.
"Use humanities and legends to boost the local appeal, build roads for the people to connect the trade routes, and create goods that attract merchants based on local characteristics. If literati and merchants can gather together, the place will naturally be lively." When Sheng Xiangxun said this, he couldn't help but express his feelings. Looking at his youngest daughter, "This idea sounds good, but there are better ideas than this. It's just that your ability to quote scriptures and rely on the sages and sages is rare."
Sheng Yuan held the fruit drink and shook her head proudly: "That's natural. I never forgot to answer the question until I thought about it!"
Seeing that the little girl was about to wag her tail, Sheng Xiangxun shook his head in amusement.
"Okay, anyway, you relied on your righteousness to lead the people to suppress the bandits in the fifth question. Your heroism and loyalty moved the world and made the bandits surrender in shame!"
Sheng Xiangxun only listened to his little daughter's brief description and guessed the girl's answer.
Sheng Yuan chuckled softly, picked up the peeled nuts from her sister's hand, and chewed them happily.
"Sister Anhui!" Sheng Xiangxun looked at her sullen expression, pointed at her and said to his eldest daughter, dumbfounded, "Can you see it? In terms of knowledge, you are no worse than her; between you and your sister, there is no difference between you and your sister. The only difference between you two is your thickness of skin!"
At this point, in the midst of his eldest daughter's thoughtful nod and his youngest daughter's dissatisfied protest, he put away his smile and said in a rare serious voice: "It is not shameful to try to figure out the intentions of the climber and guess the examiner's likes and dislikes, nor is it a trick. , is a manifestation of ability. They are all aiming to enter the temple and pursue an official career. What is the difference between making appropriate tricks in the examination room and studying hard in peacetime?"
