One or two sentences or one section of the Four Books are called sub-questions. If several sections or several unrelated sentences are cut, it is called a major question. The county examination generally tests the sub-questions. In the future, the provincial examination will become more and more difficult, and the elimination rate will be very high.

All county examinations in various places are set by the magistrate and the main examination.

The examination room is located in the lower left side of Confucius Temple County School. The county exam is not as strict as the provincial exam. There is no separate room for separation. The examination room is temporarily built with trees and thatch. There are many candidates, so the county school cannot accommodate it. Besides, the students of the county school also have to do their homework.

Fortunately, Wanping has gained the advantage of the geographical advantage. After all, it is Jing County. There is a shortage of tables and benches, and the sun and rain are enough to avoid it. The candidates in Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangdong do not have this condition. Not only is it difficult to walk into the mountain road in the county, but also have to bring their own tables and benches... The examination facilities are not good, and the weather affects their exams, so there are also...

When they came in, there was still a rooster crowing and it was dark. When they finished the program, the sun had already shot in from the gap in the wooden boards in the examination room.

Jia Cong first ate a cake, and then the test poem (five-character and eight-rhyme poem) was also released, written on the sign, and the yamen runners carried it, walking back and forth through the two rows of aisles between the tables to make sure everyone sees it.

"This topic is not difficult, it's hard to write new ideas..."

"Yes, I've done this topic, but I've done it in the past and it's not in line with today's fashion."

The candidates began to whisper. The reason why the eight-legged essay is called the time essay is a fashionable essay. It does not mean that the writing style of the chronological essay does not conform to the style of the chronological essay. It is from last year and may not be in line with the fashion of this year. In other words, it changes with the times. If you copy the article with the same title in the past, the examiner will find an excuse to call it back.

Qin Zhong looked back nervously from the front seat, Jia Cong responded with a warm and warm smile, and Qin Zhong also began to fill his hunger, grind ink, and think.

Jia Cong was not in a hurry. How many hours did the exam take? He had the habit of sucking the belly. While drinking water, he thought secretly. In the past year, he had experienced the eight-legged essay-style "three-year college entrance examination and five-year simulation". Of course he had done such a simple question, but he had the ambition to get a ranking and would not copy it: According to the articles of County Magistrate Fan, this person does not like gorgeous lay-outs and lyrics, so he was going to work hard on refining characters and arguments.

"Cough cough... silence!" Ma Dianshi said indifferently behind his hands: "Mr. County Master is speaking. The scientific examination is a national talent ceremony. Selecting capable people and strangers. Those who dare to carry and carry them. Those who cheat will be shackled and are exempted from the three-year examination qualification! Never give up! Those who need to be respectful will tell the yamen in advance... All the rules have just been answered, but the county master has already said it."

Ma Dianshi didn't dare to say hello to Jia Cong and went out quite seriously. Jia Cong was thinking about "How is that?" from "The Analects of Confucius", which was Confucius asked Zengzi's ambitions and the necessity of learning the Four Books came out: Zengzi's answer must be known, otherwise there is no way to start. Zengzi's answer here is very ethereal, not for the country or the people, but like a hermit.

A teenager next to him suddenly pulled out the tip of his pen, pulled out a small piece of rolled paper from it, compared the article on the paper, and hurriedly copied it, saying, "Child Prodigy Jia, you can be tolerant and tolerant."

Jia Cong was speechless: No matter how severe the punishment was, there was no shortage of cheating. People cheated in the provincial examinations, not to mention the lowest level exams like the county examinations.

He pretended that he could not see it. After a moment, several soap-suited yamen runners rushed in like wolves and tigers, "You! Go out! Show the public the shackles!"

There were so many people patrolling, but how could it be seen that this kind-hearted man was like a loss of his parents. He cried loudly and was immediately put on shackles by the yamen runners. Ma Dianshi wrote a piece of paper and posted it on it: "This person cheated! The shackles are shown to the public! He serves as a warning to others!"

I took them to visit the examination room and was embarrassed. Many candidates changed their faces and were lucky enough to gloat.

About a quarter of an hour, Jia Cong had already figured out how to make an argument and then argued. At this time, Magistrate Fan came in to inspect and walked to his desk. However, he saw that there was no word on the manuscript. Magistrate Fan knocked on the table in dissatisfaction: "Write it quickly!"

Jia Cong nodded, and County Magistrate Fan walked to the review room in confusion: "The question is not difficult, why does it seem to stump Jia Cong?"

He couldn't see Kuang Liuhe, but Qi Jia, the "Sixth Son of Youyan", was so excited that his writing was flying, and his literary thoughts surged. After writing the draft, he came over and passed it over. In less than an hour, he went to hand in the paper.

Qi Jia proudly looked down at the audience when she left. Although he was only seven years old and could not look down at the audience, she was psychologically looking down at the audience. Youyan's sixth son was not a waste of time.

Many candidates are envious, jealous and hateful, and they can't, scratch their ears and heads, continue thinking and continue writing.

Jia Cong was focused on the manuscript and said, "It is the place where the sages meet!"

"What is the difference between the ambition of the point? There is a transformation between the spring breeze and the Yishui River. Therefore, I sigh that the point of the point..."

"...The good deeds are the encounter between the king and the prime minister. If Yu, Gao, Yi, Dan had not had such an encounter at that time, how could he be submerged to end his old age..."

"...Scenery is the fame of the masters. Huang, Nong, Yu, Xia today is not different from this wind period. How can I see Xihao's difficulties again..."

After writing it out loud, I read the five-character and eight-rhyme poems. This is not worth mentioning. Why? The poems I wrote are just a singular and mediocre style, and I can do it without making mistakes. Jia Cong was perfunctory and could pass it. Then check and check to make sure that he would not violate the imperial temple name, the names of emperors of this dynasty, etc., and then re-copied it. The regular script was elegant, calm and powerful. The county magistrates the names and handed over the papers.

Everything will be released in a few days.

...

The examiner's room that was temporarily vacated was full of cases, with five days and five exams, which required several days of review and was purely a mental work.

County Magistrate Fan had enough food and drink, his chest was straightened and his belly was hung on the chair. He had a strong figure. He had been an official for several years and had plundered the people's wealth and ointment. He also had gained weight. Generally, the chair could not accommodate his butt. He brushed the green sixth-grade egret silk to replenish his clothes, held a red pen in his hand, and was taboo when he encountered the article and the rolled surface was dirty. He was thrown into the trash can by the county magistrate.

Several books have to pick them up, and they will be able to talk if the candidates cause trouble.

"The article is good, but the question is solved, the four-part is unclear, the layout is gorgeous, and the picture is not true! This paper... can only be judged second." County Magistrate Fan had an idea, and the prodigy Qi Jia was ranked second in the county examination in the Guiyou year of Wanping.

Qi Jia's article is very literary. He likes gorgeous prose and lyrics, imitating poems and essays in the Han and Tang dynasties. Famous scholars in the Song Dynasty highly praised Zeng Zi's outlook on life and values. However, County Magistrate Fan did not like gorgeousness. The psychology of examiners is sometimes very important.

"Okay!" After reading a few copies, Fan Lin was so proud! This paper not only has clever arguments, detailed historical materials, and no flaws. It is more than enough to take them to the palace and the most important one. It is too important to his appetite: the language is concise and the center is clear.

County Magistrate Fan was intoxicated and recited the title of "I once thought that life is very broad, but I am always depressed and worried about the failure of my ambitions. What is it? What is it because it is a matter of factual reality and weakness? It is because it is a matter of needing; what is it because it is a matter of desire? It is because it is a matter of needing nothing!"
