Chapter 163: The Carp Leaps the Dragon Gate
Ye Jing was grinding ink with peace of mind. Since he entered the examination room, he felt a little nervous. It was impossible not to be uneasy. He had not entered school for more than ten years, and now he suddenly crammed for the provincial examination. His level was not stable. The most important thing in the imperial examination was hard practice. Knowledge was accumulated bit by bit, and it was never possible to be achieved overnight.
It is precisely because of this that his son's refreshing performance is surprising and is called a child prodigy.
But Ye Jing himself knew very well that he was not a child prodigy. With so many candidates, who had not studied hard for decades? No one was a good-looking lamp.
He was thinking about his thoughts. He was motivated to be the imperial examination and was unwilling to fall behind his son, but once he failed, it would be bad.
Then I wondered whether the Chunqiu subject can be high school, so he can be high school.
Thinking in a daze, when the officer arrived in front of his examination room, he raised his eyes and saw the answer, but he was shocked.
Text is still the essence, but text is actually the essence...
This... I accidentally lost my luck, but I don't know what luck I had. I actually...
How shocked he was. The exam questions were all taken from the Four Books and Five Classics. These were tens of thousands of words. Every paragraph in them might become a question, not to mention that with various large and small questions, the exam questions were more optional.
So if you want to guess the mid-term exam questions, it is almost impossible to complete, but...
call……
Ye Jing began to feel a pity, because the last question he wrote could be regarded as the finishing touch of his eight-legged essay in his life. After all, it was his pinnacle after many days of careful consideration and many days of repeated craftsmanship.
He thought that this article was originally intended for Ye Chunqiu to read, but Ye Chunqiu said he would review it carefully and refused to read it.
Thinking about it now, it is a pity. If my son read it and used this carefully thought-out and carved article to do the test, there will be great hope for this subject.
Although he felt a pity, he knew that he had no choice but to do anything. Since his son couldn't use it, he had to answer the questions by himself. He took a deep breath, was full of confidence, spread the paper, and wrote down the correct small calligraphy on the test paper without hesitation: "The text is of the same quality, but those who have passed the text are gone."
Very novel problem-solving.
Ye Jing was in his heart and continued to follow the title: "When writing has been supplemented with quality, the quality is not the only one. If you want to remove the text, why not investigate the disadvantages?"
Then he started the lecture, and started the first and second stocks. He squinted his eyes and became more confident. After the article was titled, he began to follow up and write the sixth stock in succession. He began to write: "A gentleman is careful to speak, so that people in the world should not be accustomed to their words. He can only be a person with a superficial appearance in the world."
After finishing the final conclusion, a beautiful article was completed. He sighed with a long sigh. This eight-legged essay was the most proud work in his life. He began to recite it in a low voice again and again, looking for typos in the article, and finally carefully re-copied a copy, which was the final answer.

In another exam room, Chen Rong also wrote like a flying read. The person sitting opposite him was Zhang Jin. Zhang Jin, a lewd uncle, was still quite good at writing essays, but when the exam came, he became a little nervous. He was not as 'gifted' as Ye Chunqiu, nor was he trained as a family like Chen Rong. He was just a mistake in the reading circle. He didn't know what luck he had, so he barely won a scholar. Now in this provincial examination, he has little hope.
But when he saw that the text was still qualitative, he couldn't help but be shocked, "I'm going, it's really awesome. This time, I'm really lucky. Among the seven or eight topics that Ye Chunqiu had published, isn't there a text that has qualitative?"
He once tried composition, and he was also bragging at that time, and he wanted to compete with Ye Chunqiu and Chen Rong, so he was quite impressed by this test question. Now the provincial examination is actually the same test question...
He couldn't help but burst into tears. His ancestors bless him. It's time for me to make a fortune and shine.
Zhang Jin, who was still soft just now, immediately began to become fierce and pick up his pen. Well... Although he tried to do the questions several times before, it was not ideal, but after all, he had already had the experience of doing the questions several times. It was still early, so he could have more time to do them.
If I missed this time, I, Zhang Jin, wrote the word Zhang upside down.
He raised his eyes and saw Chen Yi on the opposite side writing like a dragon and a snake. I will not be behind others.

Ye Chunqiu has answered the paper. Because this question is not a biased question, there are particularly many eight-legged essays in Guangming, with more than 900 articles.
Now Ye Chunqiu has a lot of experience in the eight-legged essay, so he doesn’t have to rely on anyone who wins the top scholar or the Jinshi to answer the questions. Instead, he browses one by one and chooses one that he thinks is the most exciting one.
Anyway, if you can collect and pass on the articles from later generations, there is no one that is not a masterpiece that has never been seen before. But if you select them, relying on the eyesight cultivated by Ye Chunqiu, you are not worried about any problems.
After he made a choice, he began to answer questions slowly. His small regular script has become more and more sophisticated. In addition, practicing swords on his usual practice has made his wrists stronger and stronger. So once he started writing, the regular small regular script gradually became more sharp and had a kind of vitality that was vividly revealed on paper.
After finishing the questions, he took the prepared clean water to clean the brush. This time the exam was four days. In addition to the eight-legged essays, there were also strategies. Of course, it was usually the article "The Analects of Confucius", the article "The Doctrine of the Mean" or "The Great Learning" and the article "Mencius". In addition, there are also five-character and eight-rhyme poems and four poems of classical meaning.
Although there are many contents in the test, in essence, this article is the eight-legged article that really determines the fate of a person. As long as the others are just average and there is no big mistake, there will be no problems.
Ye Chunqiu seemed quite relaxed, neither arrogant nor impatient.
After several consecutive exams, it is essentially a physical torture for the candidates. After all, Ye Chunqiu felt a big headache when he stayed in a small room and faced the long case and test papers.
By the fourth day, all the test questions had been completed, and some active atmosphere began to appear in the examination room, so that the examiners who supervised the examination began to patrol the field, their faces stretched longer than donkeys.
In fact, it is understandable that some active atmosphere appears at this time. The nerves have been tense for four days, and no one can stand it. After finally taking the exam, I naturally need to vent.
Ye Chunqiu seemed very steady, just sitting quietly in his examination room.
Finally, when the sound of the clapper sounded, everyone felt like they were amnesty. At this time, the examiner came to collect the test papers, but everyone could not come out, but had to line up to Minglun Hall first and thank the Grandmaster.
