Chapter 35 I wrote five articles!

The exam lasts for a long time, lasting several days. As long as you have enough writing skills, you will definitely be able to finish writing the papers in this time.

But for candidates, such a long time is not a kind of mental and physical torture?

Staying in a cubicle like a public toilet, facing a wooden board, it was okay at first, he could still write articles, and he had something to do. Later, Xia Yuan could only sleep in a daze.

Early that morning, the officials supervising the examination began to patrol around, and seeing these officials, the atmosphere in the entire Gongyuan seemed to become lively.

This situation is not difficult to understand, because as soon as these officials came, it meant that the provincial examination was about to end. I was nervous and bored for several days. No one could stand it. After finally seeing the end signal, naturally

Everyone became excited.

Xia Yuan had just woken up from sleep, sat up from the board, and started to be in a daze as usual.

It is no exaggeration to say that after a few days of boring torture, he now has the experience of being in a daze and can instantly enter a state of forgetfulness and selflessness.

This time was no exception. As soon as he started to be in a daze, he entered the state, and his thoughts quickly drifted to no where.

By chance, the patrolling officials came to the examination booth where he was, and at a glance they saw an expressionless young man sitting inside. His expression didn't even change at all when he saw that he and others had arrived.

I couldn't help but secretly nod. He came to take the provincial examination at a young age, which shows that he is talented, and he is not arrogant or impetuous. He is a stable and good young man.

It was not until daybreak that a few crisp bangs finally sounded, and everyone felt as if they had been granted amnesty. After a while, a group of officials began to collect exam papers from one examination booth to another.

Then all the candidates began to file out of the Gongyuan.

Xia Yuan went out with the group of people carrying the test basket. When he saw the sunshine outside, he suddenly felt unreal.

He had felt this way in his previous life, usually after playing games all night in an Internet cafe and going out in the morning.

It just makes people feel like they are in another world.

Standing at the gate of Gongyuan, Xia Yuan blocked the sunlight with his hands and began to look around. His examination booth was shady. He didn't know what the sun was for several days in a row. Now he is not used to being exposed to the sun.

Soon, he found Xia Ru's figure. Xia Ru had obviously come out earlier than him and was standing under the tree over there with a dull expression.

Xia Yuan walked over and took a look. Not only was his expression dull, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair was messy, and he looked very haggard.

"Uncle, why are you so haggard? Didn't you sleep?"

"."

Xia Ru seemed to be down. After a while, he turned around mechanically, then looked at Xia Yuan blankly, paused for a moment, and finally came to life.

He grabbed Xia Yuan's sleeve and asked eagerly, "Brother Yuan, how did you solve the problem?"

"That's it, it means practicing the etiquette. It's more important to know how to perform the etiquette. To do it appropriately with the righteousness, it is in line with the appropriateness of knowing the righteousness. I know it and understand the meaning. Therefore, don't do anything other than righteousness."

At this moment, Xia Ru's whole person was in a bad state, with his blood-red eyes open, as if he was about to eat someone in the next second.

Xia Yuan did not dare to hesitate and quickly recited the two paragraphs where he broke the topic.

"You are such a bad question, you are like this." Xia Ru murmured, and suddenly scratched his hair hard. The hair was already messy, and it was even messier after scratching it like this.

"Yes, yes, it should be from Mencius, it must be from Mencius, hahaha"

As he spoke, he laughed again without warning. Xia Yuan stood nearby and couldn't help but shrink his neck. He felt that Xia Ru seemed to be crazy too.

Hey, why should I say that?

Seeing that Xia Ru kept laughing, Xia Yuan hesitated and asked: "Um, uncle, what's wrong with you? Didn't you think of a way to solve the problem, or did you not finish the article?"

"Not finished?"

As soon as he said this, Xia Ru turned his head suddenly, his bloodshot eyes widened, "You said I didn't finish writing?!"

"No, no, no, I didn't say it, it wasn't me."

Xia Yuan took two steps back, shook his head, and waved his hands. This ancient imperial examination was indeed a remnant of feudalism and was very harmful to people.

He was so stunned that he was treated like a lunatic.

It was obviously fine before I went in.

After staring at him for a while, Xia Ru suddenly calmed down and said, "Do you know how many articles your uncle has written?

Before he finished speaking, he opened his palm and made a sign of five, "I wrote five articles, five in total!"

Xia Yuan was stunned, not knowing how to respond to these words. He was holding back his curiosity and wanted to ask the reason, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that this guy would suddenly get angry again.

After a long while, he said dryly, "Uncle, you write a lot."

"How much? Ha"

Xia Ru chuckled, "If there were not only five pieces of paper, I could write a few more articles."

Xia Yuan wanted to ask you if you were addicted to writing stereotypes, but he still didn't dare to ask. Fortunately, Xia Ru explained the reason next.

The reason is naturally that the question is so evil, and combined with the conventions of the examination room, people are not sure whether it really comes from Mencius.

You must know that apart from benevolence, ritual takes up a lot of space in the Four Books. The most likely original sentence with the four words "indecent" is of course Mencius.

But it’s not impossible to piece it together from other scripture meanings, it’s just not in the same paragraph.

And cut out one or two words from different paragraphs, and then put them together. The four huge books contain more than 100,000 words. How can you not come up with something that is indecent?

What's more, it's not like the examiners have never done this kind of immoral thing.

In view of this, Xia Ru thought hard and thought that Zhongyong seemed to be able to piece it together. Although the paragraphs were not next to each other and were a bit far apart, it was still barely enough.

After I finished writing, I picked it up and saw that it was good. I was about to put down the brush, but then I thought about it, what if it was really Mencius.

If it were submitted like this, it would be off topic.

I simply started thinking hard again, and finally came up with something, and then started writing it. After I finished writing, I felt that it couldn’t be done.

What if the way of mind is a university or the Analects of Confucius?

Finally, I scraped together the Analects, solved the problem, and finished writing an article, but felt it was wrong.

Rewrite!

In this way, he wrote five articles in a row. For these five articles, Xia Ru hardly slept in the past few days. When it was time to hand in the paper, he was in trouble again, and finally gritted his teeth and handed in the Mencius article.

Go up.

Xia Yuan was stunned after hearing this. There were so many questions to this question.

He was thinking in his mind when he heard Xia Ru say: "Brother Yuan, you are breaking the topic to make it clear and clear, and it covers both etiquette and justice. It can be said to be a link between the past and the next. Such a breakthrough is so eye-catching that I think I can't think of it at all."

,only"

As he said this, Xia Ru sighed heavily, "Unexpectedly, I guess it was taken from Mencius, but the book of rites takes up a lot of space in the four books. No one knows what the examiner was thinking."

"My uncle guessed that the other candidates this time must also be unsure of the topic. Most of them may go to the Analects of Confucius, the Doctrine of the Mean, or the original sentences in the university. If the examiner really chooses Mencius, then we will win the exam this time.

It’s a sure bet.”

In every provincial examination, there is a limit on the number of candidates who can pass the examination, so the best are always selected. When it comes to writing eight-part essays, Xia Ru feels that he is at best a middle-class candidate, so he fails repeatedly.

But this time, he saw hope. Although my writing was average, I didn't go off topic. And those who wrote good articles might have gone off topic. Wouldn't this free up a lot of places?

Of course, the premise is that the question really comes from Mencius, otherwise I would be the one who is off topic.

Thinking of this, Xia Ru became nervous again. After a long time, he took a breath and looked up at the sky, "I hope your father has a spirit in heaven and bless that this topic is indeed from Mencius."
