Chapter 154: Powerless

"It seems that the person has left." Ye Jing said, breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Ye Chunqiu with even more guilt, sat down again, picked up the gourd and drank water, and continued: "Where did you say just now? Oh, it's a loss and a blessing in spring and autumn. I know that your clan's uncle is accusing you, but no matter what, your third uncle is also the savior of your eldest father. He left home for more than ten years for your mother a few years ago. Your eldest father should just take it as paying off his debts. Chunqiu, let's take a good exam and don't listen to those words."

Of course, Ye Chunqiu did not agree with his father's way of dealing with the world, but he did not argue anything. When he mentioned the exam, he remembered it and couldn't help but say, "Dad, let's set each other's questions and test each other. The provincial examination is about to be in vain, so you must work hard."

After hearing Ye Chunqiu's words, Ye Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Give a question? OK, I'll give a question for my father."

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No, this time my father owes me, I will get the question first."

Ye Jing couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, just make the questions."

Ye Chunqiu had temporarily forgotten the hateful clan master in his mind because he knew that the next question he said would be related to Ye Jing's life.

Ye Jing’s level is not too bad, and his foundation is pretty good.

If he hadn't elope, he would have been studying hard for more than ten years, and he would have passed the imperial examination or even a Jinshi. However, because his studies were abandoned, he was still unable to do so.

If nothing unexpected happens, the chances of my father taking the test this time will not exceed one percent, of course, unless there are variables.

This variable is Ye Chunqiu's title. Ye Chunqiu said without expressing his voice: "Writing is still the essence."

The four small words are enough to change a person's life, or even the honor and disgrace of a family.

Ye Jing may not know the value of these four words, but he felt guilty about Ye Chunqiu and listened very seriously today.

He couldn't help but murmur, "Writing is still a matter?"

The text is still the essence, which comes from the Analects of Confucius Yan Yuan. The full text is: A gentleman is just a matter of quality, so why does it be written? Zigong said: Is it a pity that the Master said that a gentleman is not as good as a tongue, and the text is still the essence, and the quality is the same as the literature.

This is the literary quality of a gentleman in the Analects of Confucius, which refers to the inner morality, emotion and external manners.

Although this question is a question cut, it is not considered uncommon. Since Hongzhi, because the homogeneity of the imperial examination questions has become more and more serious, examiners have begun to tend to give small questions cuts or even strange questions, just like the last time Ye Chunqiu took the exam, "Study," this is not a sentence. The Zi said in front is a paragraph, and the Xue said in the latter is the beginning of another sentence.

Although you know where this question comes from, if you want to make an article in this half-cut question and tell a big truth, the so-called saints' speech is not ordinary.

It is precisely because of this that over the past decade, the enthusiasm of scholars has no longer been on ordinary questions, because the chance of taking the exam is too low. For questions like "LiuQu" are also like "LiuQu" because they are too ordinary, but they are not the interests of everyone.

The spirit of the imperial examination questions was actually changing in both the Ming and Qing dynasties. For a period of time, many tricky test questions were found, but sometimes they returned to nature.

And this kind of ordinary test question that is as simple as the quality of the text is actually difficult, and it is not easy to not want to make a stable article on this question.

When Ye Jing heard this question, he fell into deep thought.

To do the questions, you must first solve them, then you must inherit them, and then you must also collect them. Therefore, it is not just as simple as letting the candidates express their feelings at will, because every word and every sentence in them needs to echo, and it must also comply with the grammatical norms.

This is why, if you don’t think carefully in advance, you may not be able to take over the halfway point of writing, or you can’t stop the end of the imperial examination. In a few days, the most important thing is of course the eight-legged essay. The time for you to conceive in the examination room is only a short day. If you cannot conceive within a day, it means you are eliminated.

Ye Jing is a person who is very serious about people and things. Since his son has already made a question, he soon fell into a state of selflessness and still muttering: "Writing is still the same as quality."

At his age, I am afraid that I can create a truly good essay, but I am afraid that it will not be possible for a few days to come.

This is also why Ye Chunqiu thinks this exam is very lingering. In a few days, when you have a good idea, the exam has already ended and you still have a yarn test.

But now, Ye Jing began to conceive before the exam.

Ye Chunqiu no longer paid attention to his already fascinated father. He still went aside and practiced running script obediently.

The examiner is the Grand Master Zheng Jingzhong, but it is difficult to find his information. I believe this person is not particularly famous in history, only some of his hometown and information on his previous official positions.

However, it is no wonder that such a master who is indifferent to everyone can write such a stable test question.

Ye Chunqiu was thinking about his thoughts and practicing running script, but suddenly came to his senses. Oh, he couldn't just use both things, but he should concentrate on it.

The next day, Ye Jing began to try to write an essay with the same quality of the text. He basically wrote about breaking the topic, inheriting the topic, and barely closed the stocks. He wanted to show it to Chunqiu. During the days of Chunqiu, he has been influenced by the eight-legged essay. Although he still needs to write a wonderful article, it is not difficult to let him read the quality of an eight-legged essay. It is like, although Ye Chunqiu can't kill pigs, he can always have some experience in the taste of pork.

Er, every time I think of pork, Ye Chunqiu feels a little trembling. I regretted it. I should have had dinner yesterday before coming back. The food from Ye family in Hangzhou is becoming more and more unpleasant. Think about it, now the third uncle and the clan uncle eat every day to be peaceful and peaceful. What else can others eat? Although they come to eat separately, the chef shows off his skills every day, especially the two-sleepings, cooking and stir-frying. Damn, no matter how good they are, Ye Chunqiu's heart is, he can't get half a piece of pork.

After reading his father's article, Ye Chunqiu probably understood that the eight-part essay was just average, so he smiled and said, "Dad, you are afraid that you still have a lot of time to do this article. It's too mediocre to solve the topic and take it forward a bit far-fetched. Even if you close the stock, you will be a little helpless."

After hearing this, Ye Jing blushed, but still admitted honestly: "Dad's knowledge is indeed a lot short of time. Alas, let his son teach me a lesson, but what you said is correct, I'll think about it again."

To be continued.
