Twenty young people sat down in the spacious and bright hall, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, and the examiner was an old man of about fifty years old, with a very kind face, smiling and holding a hot tea.

Xu Hao chose a corner and looked down at the topics on the paper, one was the Analect topic "The Servant Sees It", and the other was the Mencius question "Weeping in the atrium, and the beloved is unknown, and Shi Shi is from outside." ”

Many young people seem to be disappointed, they think that they are just a few pairs, and they will be done with one or two poems, who knows that they will have to take the eight-strand essay test. These eight strands of literature seem simple, but in fact, how many people have worked hard all their lives to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and in the end, they can't even get into the show, and gray-haired old children abound.

Xu Hao didn't understand this thing, and he wasn't going to understand it, the topic was exactly the same as what was written in Zhu Gaochi's codex, according to the original jihua, as long as he wrote the two articles of memorizing haode, and then he could wait for good news.

But suddenly, Xu Hao felt that such cheating was too unfair, just like the young man said before, if you are indiscriminate, sooner or later your true face will be exposed.

Xu Hao's self-confidence comes from the formal education he received in later generations, and he feels that his education level is at least equivalent to that of a Ming Dynasty Xiucai, and it is much stronger than the comprehensive quality of Xiucai. History has proven the direction, and the eight-strand article is bound to be eliminated, no matter what it represents.

The beginning of the pen should be broken, that is, the title should be pointed out at the beginning, and only the content of the four books and five classics can be used, and the problem of the Analects is "the follower will be destined for it, and the sincerity is only", the number of words in the four books of the early Ming Dynasty is limited to three hundred, and the five classics are five hundred words.

At this moment, Xu Hao didn't care what he was, and directly said, "I'm crazy about Qing." "Lao Tzu just pointed out the meaning directly, what's the matter? As for the inheritance of the past and the future, there is a sentence, "The husband is the law of the world, and a word can be the teacher of the world."

The next is the four comparisons, that is, the text of the later generations, this is the most difficult part, the so-called article-by-article analysis, how the positive side, how the negative side, not only tests the student's ability to analyze and understand, but also tests the ability to fight words and phonological conversion, such as the same four couplets. The upper and lower parts of speech should be relative, and the flat should be relative.

Xu Hao pondered for a while, and wrote casually: "Raise a glass to invite the moon, the three of them, drunk among the flowers, who can get drunk and not wake up?" Draw a knife and cut off the water, raise a glass to eliminate sorrow, the floating world is sad, who can be happy and not worried? Even on a whim, along with the punctuation, it was all written.

Since they are all Wenqing, let's just be Wenqing to the end. Xu Hao picked up the pen and wrote a series of things that even gave him goosebumps, and it was time for Zuihou to put it away, which was the conclusion of the whole article, requiring within eight sentences.

Xu Hao thought about it again, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembered the year-end summary report, and immediately wrote shamelessly: "Serve the son wholeheartedly, do your job well, love your job and respect your post."

First, we must have a sense of responsibility; That is, a proactive attitude, a solid style, and a serious and responsible spirit, the child's studies are the responsibility of the child.

second, to be passionate; Passion is the wind that blows the sails, passion is the driving force of work, just as inspiration can make famous poems through the ages, passion can happily complete their studies with their sons.

Third, we must have a grateful heart; The sage said that a good mindset determines everything. The Mu family is the food and clothing parents of Xiaosheng, and they must know how to be grateful and reciprocate. It's like a mirror, if you smile at it, it will smile at you, and you should treat your son with gratitude. ”

After writing a messy bunch, the handwriting sounds good, like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, debauched, unruly, it's hard to say, well, don't say it.

Xu Hao blew the ink on the paper with his mouth, and wrote that he was an ordinary man in his previous life, Jinling Xu Hao. Then he got up and walked up to the examiner and handed over the paper.

At this moment, the nineteen young people who were immersed in writing books were the fastest who had just finished writing a draft of a topic, and everyone was amazed at someone's speed.

In this era, it is not a good thing to hand in the paper early, even if the later generations submit the paper early, it will give the teacher a bad impression, which means that you are not stable.

Sure enough, the examiner didn't even look at the paper, and said: "It's still early for you to write this article, go back and study hard, if you come again in two years, I will take you." ”

"Ahem, my surname is Xu." Xu Hao reminded in a low voice, and then said in a serious voice: "Mr. will give me a chance to interview, and he won't let me come in vain." ”

"Uh-oh." The examiner blinked secretly, pretended to mutter, pointed to the young man below, and said, "Okay, I'll take the joint entrance examination for you, and the two literary lights will shoot at each other." ”

"The curtain is divided inside and outside, and there is no ventilation at all." Just like a code, Xu Hao immediately replied fluently.

When the examiner heard this, he smiled and said, "If you are sincere, I will take you." "Thank you, sir." Xu Hao smiled and turned to leave.

One of the young men closest to them frowned and muttered to himself, "It seems that this pair has heard of it somewhere?" ”

If he was a showman who had participated in the imperial examination, he would have only seen it, but unfortunately he was not. There is this couplet on the high hall of the Jiangnan Gongyuan, which means that this examination is honest and honest, and there is not the slightest false fraud, Zhu Gaochi deliberately used this couplet as a code for the joint, which shows that this kind of behavior is still quite unpleasant.

And Xu Hao didn't disappoint him, he didn't copy it at all, the examiner picked up the paper and looked at it, and the whole person was stunned, he had never seen such an article for so many years since he read it!

By the rules, this is completely bullshit. After reading it carefully, he can't help but admit that this article is very novel and touching, and there is something to be desired, that is, the writing is too wordy, and it is simply full of vernacular.

The examiner shook his head, anyway, if you are entrusted with loyalty, you can hand it directly to the inner house, and whether you can be admitted or not depends on the creation. As soon as everyone finished the exam, he selected five or six copies of the most haode papers, and handed them to the housekeeper along with Xu Hao's.

When the housekeeper was leaving, the examiner also made a special statement: "This one is really specially made for Miss Bo to smile, you must remember to explain it clearly." ”

The housekeeper entered the inner house in a daze, gave the rolls to the maid, and the maid sent them to the lady again.

The maid remembered the housekeeper's advice, and said, "There is a gentleman's instructions, and the lady and the young lady will smile when they see it." ”

"Yes! Read it to your mother. "The Duchess of Qianguo is interested.

Mu Ningxue picked up someone's masterpiece on the top, sneered at a glance, and snorted lightly: "It's just a prodigal." ”

"What is written?" Madame was more interested.

Mu Ningxue blushed and said: "The 'I'm crazy for Qing' written in the broken title is messy, and the donkey's lips are completely not on the horse's mouth, it's true." ”

Mrs. daxiao said: "It turns out that people are here for my son, hehe!" Our family is not a real examination room, it doesn't matter how you love to write, you read it to your mother. ”

"Yes." Mu Ningxue, who had played a long note, sighed helplessly, so she had to read it to her mother. The first sentence that the husband can be the law of the world made the Duchess of Qianguo speechless: "This person has great ambitions." ”

Mu Ningxue said disdainfully: "Rampant." ”

"It's hard to say that." Mrs. Zhengse said: "Who was not born in poverty in the early years of this Manchu Dynasty?" There is an old saying that don't bully young people into poverty, but you can't underestimate people. ”

Mu Ningxue, who was not convinced, nodded obediently, and when she read that the knife was drawn and the water was cut off, Mrs. tasted it again and again, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, it's really talented." ”

"Mother, this is all picking up the wisdom of the predecessors." Mu Ningxue couldn't help it.

"I think it's good, and it can go to my mother's heart." Madame sighed faintly, "Since your father passed away, my mother really wants to get drunk and not wake up." ”

"What a clever guy, damn it."

Seeing this, Mu Ningxue couldn't say anything more, and continued to read softly: "I want to open my heart and let the breeze blow slowly to dispel the haze in my heart."

I don't care about the cold eyes of the world, no matter the passage of time, be silent in the corner of the red dust, look down on the red dust and rain, and smile at the ups and downs of the sea. As long as a person keeps the quiet and strong in his heart, and lets the world change, I am calm and calm from my heart. ”

Mu Ningxue frowned and savored it, and Madame said with emotion: "It's the first time I've heard such a heartwarming article, compared to those poems, this seemingly plain language can move my mother more." ”

In fact, Mu Ningxue was already stunned, these words were like a portrayal of her own heart, she was completely talking about herself, how did she know that this was a common problem for all young women in literature and art, as the saying goes, it is called stinky and shameless. In fact, anyone who listens to a famous sentence will feel it.

Who wrote such a novel statement? Could it be him? A back appeared in Miss Mu's mind.

Mu Ningxue hurriedly read: "Love someone, appreciate her; Look at the snow that is silent on the high mountains, quietly watch the dullness of the long stream of water in the flowing years, silently observe the light clouds and light breeze in the years, and make a proud bone, calmly face the hills and ravines of life, and go through the wind and frost of the four seasons; In the simple four seasons, hand in hand with the people you love, watch the sunset and smoke, the rain and flowers, the pure and simple days, you can also live a tasteful and poetic life. ”

After reading this paragraph in one breath, Mu Ningxue couldn't sit still, gently put down the scroll, Yingying got up, and followed her steps.

After a long while, the lady sighed: "Come on, let this bastard thing into the mansion, I want to see where it is sacred?" What a great courage to dare to think about my precious daughter, and beat eighty military sticks first. ”
