Chapter 121 Provincial Exam
Li Wan also got married and wanted to pay homage to the future Yue family on the first day of the first lunar month.
On the second day of the lunar month, he hurried to the capital.
But he was not familiar with the horse and could not get fast. Although he built avenues for military transportation from Yanzhou to Kaifeng, he arrived at the capital and was on the seventh day of the lunar month.
When he arrived at Dasheng Inn, the crown prince said, "The provincial examination has begun, and the eldest brother has entered the Imperial College."
"So fast?"
This year is a bit fast, not only to save the test, but also to the palace examination. The palace examination started in early February.
Li Wan came to the Imperial College again.
The Imperial College was covered with soldiers, wearing neat armor, holding spears, or holding swords on their waists, and countless people were aware of.
Li Wan looked at it, shrank his head and ran back, but don’t make a misunderstanding.
But when I come, let's go around. Anyway, because of fine salt, the Li family's fortunes have been getting better in the past two years. If bamboo paper sells well, then the situation will be better and you don't care about money.
Not only did he transfer, but he also took the crown prince and Erniu to transfer.
But Wang Ju took the exam inside.
After the question came out, Wang Ju was surprised.
By chance, there are three questions, one business, and two current affairs. However, contrary to the process, the business is first and the current affairs are later.
It is not surprising that the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty have been changing. In the early days, they even had to take thirty exams, fifteen exams, or seven exams. Fan Zhongyan decided directly, three exams, first, then the discussion exams, and then the meaning of poetry, essays, calligraphy, and scriptures.
Then Wang Anshi changed again, and stopped his poems, prose and calligraphy, and wrote the meaning of the scriptures in the first part, the second part, the third part, and the fourth part, the current affairs strategy.
This strategy is also changing. Sometimes there is only one strategy, sometimes there are seven strategies, five strategies, and there are three strategies.
It's a coincidence.
Wang Ju didn't start writing.
He was thinking about Feng Jing and the other three. These three are the most talented, and each one is talented, at least they are more talented than Lao Cheng, and Feng Jing is even more **.
Don't think about anything **.
The second three people have a little conservative thoughts.
After thinking through the three people's personalities, then it's easy to start.
It is necessary to write a new idea. Although it is stable to talk about it, it is too difficult to stand out among tens of thousands of candidates. However, if you can write a new idea, you cannot be radical, otherwise it will be a supplement.
Secondly, it is best not to use allusions that you don’t understand. Su Dongpo was lucky that time. It is best to do less tricks when taking advantage of opportunities. If you don’t do it well, it will be a waste of mistakes.
Allusions must be cited appropriately, which will please the three examiners, and the words are a little more gorgeous, but not too gorgeous.
After setting the purpose, Wang Ju began to solve the problem.
He is the best at writing the three chapters of Ce Zi, who wrote the papers and handed in papers. Just like in Yanzhou, he ranked behind the papers, but not the last one, but he was very satisfied after coming out.
It should be done well.
Mainly because he was turned away at the beginning, Wang Ju had no communication with students from other state prefectures, so he had never felt confident.
Or if you communicate with old Su Xiaosu, can that count?
There are too many people in the provincial examination now, with more than 20,000 candidates, and it is so difficult to compete for the quota of hundreds of tribute scholars (those who passed the provincial examination). Even when Hu Dan, the most awesome top scholar, was placed at this time, he did not dare to speak loudly.
Find Zhang Desheng and the others in the dark crowd.
There are too many people, and there is no sight at all.
Wang Ju said in his heart, no wonder Song Huizong built the tribute court later. Even if the Imperial College was large, it was still very crowded now.
"Teacher Dao, Pingyun, how did you do the exam?"
Zhang Desheng thought for a while and said, "It's okay."
Even though he was well in the exam, he was not good at all. So many people scared him.
Luo Zeng, Ge Shaohua and Xiong Yufang also had the same answers.
However, Hong Shixin, Wang Jun and Xiang Zun's expressions were a little bad.
Hong Shixin did well in Yanzhou and ranked third, but this also requires luck. He was not familiar with the current affairs and answered randomly. Looking at so many testimonies, and thinking about Yanzhou's backward education, needless to say, this provincial examination is probably out of reach.
The same is true for Wang Jun.
Xiang Zun has been a professor for many years and his basic skills are solid. However, when he is old, he gets a testimonial and loses his heart. When he is nervous, he becomes confused when he arrives at the exam room. Although he writes, he is equivalent to handing in a blank paper.
"Professor Xiang, didn't I say that I must relax and just come to Beijing to play. It's better to pass the exam. It's not ugly if I don't pass the exam. There were so many candidates in Yanzhou before, and there were those who won."
"But I can't figure it out, I don't know what I'm thinking."
"Let's work harder next time." Wang Ju had no choice but to comfort him. He took the exam with this mentality. Even if the test questions were correct, Xiang Zun's taste would be completely out of the blue.
And he himself also had a problem. The second day in Yanzhou was about discussion and poetry, and the third day was about fu and the meaning of the postscript.
He was very happy with this arrangement.
But now the next day is the discussion, and then it is gone.
On the third day, the poems and the meaning of the Mo Jing Tie are squeezed together, and the time of the poems and essays will inevitably be compressed, which is somewhat unfavorable to him.
Therefore, the next day, Wang Ju, Kao Lun, did not delay and felt that there was no more modification, so he wrote it down, then handed over the paper, returned to the dormitory, lay on the floor and meditated on the poems he had written before. Those were written better, those were written worse, why did they write well, and why didn't they write well.
It is not considered learning, not review, but reflection.
But Xiang Zun came back with a sad face again.
Wang Ju sighed, "Old sir, you'd better go back to teach. Your psychological quality is too poor, so it won't work."
But Ge Shaohua made him pay a little attention. Although Menshan is a relatively remote place in Yanzhou, he has good psychological qualities. He also has to be lucky in the imperial examination. Today, this theory is not very unfamiliar with him, so he did not get through the exam, but he is very calm.
Zhang Desheng advised him while he comforted himself: "It's okay, even if I personally think I'm good at the exam, I may not be able to win in the end."
This is a fact.
No words all night, the third day begins.
The main text put the title on the front of the room, and Wang Ju was overjoyed after reading it.
That is Fu.
In recent years, in order to improve his poetry and essay level, he has written countless poems and essays, covering all aspects.
This title is very similar to the previous one he wrote, and can almost be applied. Of course, it cannot be applied completely, and it has to be revised word by word in my mind, but it saves a lot of time to think.
Wang Ju couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's the same thing when we go back and forth. Even in later generations, it's always good to do more exercises in our daily lives.
With confidence, my heart was brighter, and lines of words automatically appeared in his mind.
Instead of writing poetry first, I do fu first. After writing the fu, I think about poetry.
It turned out that he thought that time would be very tight today, because this unexpected surprise was the one who handed in the papers earlier.
One by one, Imperial College Entrance Examination Hall.
Many people have their heads hanging down and have not done well in the exam.
But there are still many scholars who are full of confidence, but whether they can win or not is only the gods. No, it was decided by Feng Jing and the other two.
