Chapter 32 Conspiracy
By the way, with teachers like Li Meiting, the school children can't learn any useful knowledge on weekdays. The ink in their stomachs is still the foundation laid by their former private school teacher, and the Sun family is not aware of this. But the Sun family is also anxious. Anyway, as long as Li Meiting's term is only one year, and after one year, everything will be fine for the Sun family to create a few scholars and juren. Then prepare a generous gift to send Mr. Li to leave.
The teacher did not do anything, and the students were full of trouble, but the difficulty of the exam this month did not decrease at all.
With a command, the school children spread out the papers with a serious expression, biting the pen and thinking hard.
Li Meiting only thought about what most of his students were. Fortunately, he focused all his thoughts on Sun Yue and some direct children of the Sun family, so he didn't care much about other people.
He walked forward a few steps, walked to Sun Yue, and looked down. The direct descendant of the second family of the Sun family was writing like a flying pen. He had already written three parts to solve the question, follow the question, and start the lecture, and was about to write the part to start.
Sun Yue is worthy of being a talented man in the Sun family. Although these three parts are not many, there are only more than a hundred characters in total. But the words are gorgeous, and the various parts are connected in depth, which makes them pleasing to the eye.
Li Meiting was very happy. The level of Sun Yue, a disciple, had far exceeded that of an ordinary scholar. If nothing unexpected happens, there should be no problem with this year's boy exam. After studying for two years, I will grind my writing more properly. Even if I take the exam for the juren, I will be 70% sure.
He had no plans to come to Shandong this time, mainly because he could not escape human feelings, and was very quiet and moved. He thought of Zouping to relax. Unexpectedly, he met Sun Yue, a young talented man, and couldn't help but feel the intention of helping him. If he could make an appointment under his command, or even a Jinshi, he would be glorious when he met his colleagues in the officialdom in the future.
After reading only these hundred words, Li Meiting nodded and thought to himself: There is no need to read it again next.
He raised his head and glanced at the examination room. After this glance, he saw that everyone was full of bitter expressions. He shook his head slightly. The competition in the imperial examination was fierce, and those who could pass the imperial examination or even pass the imperial examination were all in all. Not only did he need perseverance and financial support for bankruptcy, but he also needed a certain degree of talent. Among them, talent is the most important thing. If you don’t have that talent, you have to go on this path. The final result is probably to be mediocre and make your life a mess.
In Mr. Li's opinion, the thirty or forty students here are truly talented in studying and capable of supporting them at home, but only a few people. The rest of their children will be the end of their life as a scholar. Instead of wasting time here, it is better to know some words and find something to do in the family seriously earlier. This is why Li Meiting doesn't care much about these students in his daily life.
In his opinion, it goes without saying that Sun Yue is self-disciplined. If Sun Gui trains well, there may be a chance of winning the imperial examination, but I don’t know how many years it will take. As for Sun Hao, he can also train him to become a scholar and inherit his title in the future.
Thinking of this, Li Meiting fell on Sun Hao. He only glanced at him, but was stunned.
I saw Sun Hao, an oil lamp lit on the table, and he smiled proudly as he looked at the swaying light.
"What's the point of doing? I'll hold lights in broad daylight?" Li Meiting knew that this schoolboy had always been a bad guy and was a famous dude in the mansion. Now he lights the lights in broad daylight, which is simply a mess.
Hearing this loud shout, Sun Hao was not afraid and smiled and said, "Sir, I have some problems with my eyes recently. Everything looks like a layer of fog. I have no choice but to light the light."
Hearing this, the school children in the examination room laughed in a low voice.
Li Meiting was surprised, and walked over to look at his eyes. Sun Hao rolled his eyes in a hurry.
"You have a problem with your eyes, which is not delayed. After the exam is over, I will prescribe you a prescription and eat some snake galls and pine nuts on weekdays to see if it works. The county will be tested soon, and it will be sloppy."
"Yes, thank you sir." Sun Hao replied with a smile.
"What is this?" Mr. Li probably also smelled the strange smell of human milk, picked up the stack of manuscripts in front of Sun Hao and looked at it repeatedly.
Sun Dan was considering what article to write. When he saw Li Meiting pick up Sun Hao's manuscript, he screamed terrible.
But at this moment, a long laugh suddenly came from the examination room: "It's OK!"
It was Sun Yue who made this long laugh. He stood up suddenly, put the brush in his hand on the pen holder, and didn't say anything. He just glanced at Sun Dan, then got up and walked out of the classroom casually.
"It's done so soon." Sun Dan was stunned, and the examination room also started to make a low noise.
This kid was so arrogant. Seeing Sun Yue's back, Sun Dan had to admit in her heart that this kid was talented, rich and elegant, but for some reason, Sun Dan just disliked him.
When Li Meiting saw Sun Yue handing over the paper, she was full of joy. She let Sun Hao go, hurriedly walked to Sun Yue's position, sat down, picked up the paper and looked carefully.
How could Sun Hao let go of such an opportunity? He had already picked out the chapters he needed from the manuscript in advance. Seeing Li Meiting looking at Sun Yue's paper intently, he hurriedly picked up the manuscript and couldn't stop baking with the oil lamp.
A burnt smell filled the examination room.
Sun Dan suppressed his displeasure just now and began to think about how to do the questions. He had several model essays in his mind, but they were all famous works of ancient people. Especially the one written by Wang Ao of the Ming Dynasty, which was even more beautiful and moving. Sun Dan did not expect that the eight-legged essays could be written so vigorously and thoroughly. It seems that the eight-legged essays in the Ming Dynasty had just emerged, and when scholars wrote essays, they had many free parts, and they also focused on rhetoric and literary talent. If they didn't want the Qing Dynasty model essays to be accurate, they would be bland and boring.
Well, so to put it, copying a model essay from the Qing Dynasty is also a good idea. The eight-legged essays in the Qing Dynasty pay attention to the format. As long as the format is right, you can get high scores. As for the level, it is not very important.
After thinking about it, Sun Dan found a suitable article.
This sample essay was written by Huang Hongxian, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Qianlong. It is full of plain language and has no characteristics. Among them, "If you know that self-cultivation is the first priority, and the merit of sincerity and integrity can be achieved, what can it be later?" There are many sentences like this, which can be understood by any student who has been reading for a year. But after careful consideration, I found that nothing was said at all.
But even so, no scholar can tell the fault of Huang Jinshi's articles. Even if Mr. Wang Yangming is a nitpicking article, he can only sigh and sigh.
Silently shook his head, Sun Dan couldn't help but sigh: After learning from the Qing Dynasty, he was completely ruined by the exam-oriented education.
Because he was anxious to go home soon, Sun Dan didn't care about thinking too much and hurriedly asked to solve the topic: "Only in the world there is no governance outside the body, then he knows that in the world there is no learning outside the body!"
Then the title is: "If you practice one's body and practice one's body, you have to rely on it. Is it true that you have no noble or low status in your self-cultivation, then a gentleman should do the first priority."
Damn, how did scholars in the Qing Dynasty just talk nonsense? One meaning, saying it over and over again, don’t you feel tired and panicked?
"Okay!" A sudden cheer came.
Sun Dan was startled and looked up. Mr. Li Meiting was holding Sun Yue's test paper and applauded loudly.
Sun Dan quietly wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose. This Mr. Li is really...
At the same time, Sun Hao was also shocked. Sun Dan saw the boy's hand trembling, and the manuscript that had just been baked fell to the ground.
This is so troublesome. Mr. Li probably felt that it was not appropriate to cheer him up. In addition, he had read Sun Yue's test paper and realized his responsibilities. He put the paper on the table, glanced at everyone, and said, "Continue to do the questions. Sun Yue's article is well written and should be evaluated as a first-class. After the exam, you can all come and take a look."
As he spoke, he glared at everyone and looked at everyone with a bright look, sitting there motionless like a statue of god.
Sun Hao wanted to pick up the manuscript on the ground, but the gentleman sat in front and didn't give him a chance to attack. He couldn't help but look pale and looked at Sun Dan with a begging face, as if saying: Brother Dan, you are smart, please help me figure out a solution.
Sun Dan felt that this guy was really pitiful. Besides, Sun Hao was not bad, and he would ask for him in the future. It seems that this gang has to help.
When Sun Dan was in college, he had never seen any cheating methods. He just thought about it and immediately had an idea. He gave Sun Hao a wink. Then he lowered his body and took off his shoes and socks, exposed his feet, and made a pose of flipping through books with his toes.
Sun Hao was not stupid either. He understood what to do at first glance. He was ecstatic and raised his thumb at Sun Dan.
At this time, Mr. Li noticed Sun Dan's abnormality and stared at him with sharp eyes: "Who, what are you doing?"
Sun Dan stretched out his feet as if nothing had happened and said to him: "Sir, my name is Sun Dan. I just entered school for a few days. My foot was so itchy."
"Puchi!" Everyone laughed softly again.
Li Meiting was so angry that her face flashed with a blue air: "Shi Wen sweep the floor, and Shi Wen sweep the floor. Sun Dan, Yes, I remember that there is someone like you, put on your shoes quickly."
"Yes, I'll wear it right away." Sun Dan slowly put on his shoes, buying time for Sun Hao. His seat was on the other side, and Li Meiting turned his head when he talked to him. This also gave Sun Hao a chance. The guy had taken off his feet and quickly flipped over the manuscripts that fell to the ground. Seeing his feet being flexible, Sun Dan almost laughed out loud.
After he put on his shoes, he picked up his pen and started answering questions.
But at this moment, the strong smell of feet spread in the examination room, making people vomit.
Sun Dan was shocked. Sun Hao's feet were so stinky that it was really deafening!
Mr. Li's face became even more ugly: "It's like entering abalone shop, then grandson... what? After the exam, I went home to boil three or two leeks and soak my feet in water."
"Yes." Sun Dan was helpless and had to lower his head and couldn't stop writing.
Perhaps the house was too smelly, and Mr. Li couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and pushed the window open.
At this moment, an accident happened.
A gust of wind blew, blowing a manuscript under Sun Hao's feet to Sun Dan's feet.
Something even more surprising happened. Sun Gui looked over with a smirk and suddenly said to Mr. Li: "Sir, there is a note there. Did you drop it?"
Sun Tan's head buzzed and exploded.
Sun Gui can't afford to offend Sun Hao, so he naturally didn't dare to say anything when Sun Hao cheated. But now there was a page of manuscript that was blown to his feet, and he just framed him.
This kid is really bad.
Li Meiting turned his head when she heard this and looked in confusion in Sun Dan's direction: "What?"
A sudden flash of inspiration in Sun Tan's head, and he immediately bent down and picked up the manuscript without changing his expression, then put it under his nose and blew his nose in a shocking way. Then he formed a ball and threw it on the ground.
Li Meiting's expression was very uncomfortable and she kept shaking her head.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Sun Dan left a deep impression on Li Meiting. Therefore, when Sun Dan handed over the paper, he also subconsciously glanced at Sun Dan's paper. After looking at this, he could not take it back: "You wait, don't leave first."
At this time, the school children in the school handed in the paper in groups of three or three. I have to admit that Li Meiting is still very capable. He can judge the pros and cons of the test paper by taking the paper with just a glance.
Sun Dan was about to return to Zhiniang, the county town. Time was tight and it was impossible to delay.
Hearing the husband's shout, he stood still reluctantly. He was a little confused: My article is stable, not visible, and the words I wrote are also ingenious, so that I can't attract my husband's attention and everything will be fine. But why did Mr. Li call me?
