The spring breeze in February is like scissors, and the weather is getting warmer. Such a climate makes people feel lazy and unable to get excited.

The county exam was about to come, and Mr. Li Meiting suddenly felt energetic and tried to make things difficult for several school children of certain standards, including Sun Dan, Sun Hao and others. He gathered these people together to explain the time text all day long, and drafted more than ten questions based on the scope of the question he predicted, and made several model essays for several kids to figure out the imitation.

Li Meiting said with certainty that the scope of the county exam should be "The Analects of Confucius", and how he made this prediction was not what Sun Dan needed to care about.

Mr. Li said that he was confident that he would pass all the students who registered for this county exam, and the subsequent examination was not difficult. As for the last examination, how many people could finally rely on the scholars in the college exam? That thing is about luck. If you pass the luck once, you are not lucky. If you pass the exam for more than ten years, you may not be able to pass the exam even if you have white hair and beard.

Strangely enough, Sun Gui was also included in Li Meiting's recommendation list.

There are many suspicious things about cheating in that exam. Li Meiting is not a fool, and has heard of the conflicts between the school children. Besides, Sun Gui's grades among the Sun family's children were also good, so he should be fine after passing the county exam, so he simply recruited him.

Mr. Li is a rare confusion.

After Sun Gui was beaten by Mr. Li, he returned home, and his mother, Aunt Jing, twisted his ears and scolded him, which made everyone know. Everyone in the mansion knew that Sun Gui, the second wife cheated in the exam, and his reputation was extremely bad. In addition, his status in the mansion was not high, so everyone looked at him with a lot of contempt.

Sun Gui became much more honest when he suffered this heavy blow, so he would not cause trouble for Sun Dan.

However, Sun Dan knew that this kid was a revenge person, and once he recovered, he might not be willing to give up.

He didn't care about Sun Gui, but it would be annoying if he was harassed by a fly all day long. He had to suppress such people. Once he passed the scholarship exam, Sun Gui and himself would not dare to cause trouble again.

A blacksmith must be strong himself.

As a Jinshi in this county examination, Li Xian personally recommended Sun Dan, Sun Hao, Sun Gui and two other Sun family members to take the county examination, which is a major event in Zouping County. Li Meiting is famous and has a high status. Before these five people took the exam, they also received extra points in the minds of the examiners.

In addition to these five people, there were fifteen students in the school who signed up for the recommendations of other students in Zouping County. Li Meiting was not very optimistic about these fifteen people. In his opinion, it would be good to win one or two. Although luck is important in exams, personal strength is the key to determining the outcome. These more than ten people are not strong enough, and it is not very useful to go there, but it is better to let them get familiar with the exam room.

According to Sun Dan, it is: feel the atmosphere of the competition and prepare for the future.

Li Meiting deeply agreed with it and said that Sun Dan's metaphor is appropriate.

It is difficult for Sun Hao and others to write every day. After all, they are all older children. It is really difficult for them to read and write properly every day.

Sun Dan felt that this was a good opportunity to calm down and study. Compared to Sun Hao and the others, he was still an adult, and he was much better than them in terms of sitting skills and quiet skills.

He is about to take the county exam, and Sun Dan doesn't think it's difficult for this exam. What he needs to do now is to pass the level of writing traditional Chinese characters as soon as possible. It's just his wish for the teacher to give the students such high intensity.

As long as a person calms down and does things, he can do things well.

Sun Dan gets up at five o'clock every day, picks up his pen to write a new chapter of "Journey to the West", one is to save manuscripts for the new book to be released next month, and the other is to become familiar with traditional Chinese writing by the way.

Originally, Jiang Ruoying was responsible for copying "Journey to the West". Sun Dan has been busy preparing for the exam recently and has no time to tell everyone stories. Jiang Ruoying is also happy to be lazy. Anyway, she has manuscripts to read, so it is much more interesting to listen to Sun Dan's personal words.

If you use a computer with two thousand words, it will take only half an hour to copy it with a brush, but it will be much slower. After writing this chapter, it was already dawn and Mendun got up. So the two made an appointment to go to the kitchen for breakfast, and then clean up the yard. It is estimated that it will be about 10 am, and Mr. Li should get up and start classes at this time.

He hurried to the school, and the school children read two books, and then wrote the time text according to the topics he gave.

When I write my article, it should be lunch time. I have lunch on the stove and have a rest for a while, and I will start writing again.

It is not difficult for Sun Dan to do this, but in order not to show it too prominently, he honestly did not copy the famous works of later generations, but imitated them himself.

At the beginning, his pen was still awkward, and later his writing style gradually became smoother. Speaking of which, eight-legged essays are not very difficult, the key is to master the format. If the format is right, it will be easier to write.

Later, at four o'clock in the afternoon, the school was over and there was still a long time to go to bed, which was a good time for self-study. Sun Dan was not the same as Sun Hao and the others, so he ran back to his room and copied traditional Chinese characters over and over again. Until it was completely dark and his eyes couldn't open, he fell on the bed and fell to sleep to death.

At the beginning, he used rice paper to write, but because the amount of writing every day was too large, the money he saved up was an unbearable number.

Let's take the second best, and replace it with cheap burrs and yellow paper burned to the dead.

But even so, after a month, the waste paper he used also piled up a hill.

After careful calculation, I have to write 20,000 words every day.

Twenty-seven days, more than 500,000 words.

After writing, the sheep hair brush in my hand was also bald. There was only a short piece of the ink ingot left, so I simply replaced it with clear water.

When Sun Dan thought of this number, he felt a urge to burst into tears.

The labor intensity was too high, and his body was not very good. He felt that the shoulder blades were so painful that his neck was so stiff that he couldn't turn. What was even more annoying was that the index finger, middle finger and thumb of the right five fingers were worn out by the pen, revealing the capillaries inside. When he touched the pen holder, the pain seemed to be burned by a soldering iron, and his whole body was trembling.

So far, the traditional Chinese characters have completely melted into Sun Dan's blood. As soon as he lifted his pen, he subconsciously wrote them on the paper. On the contrary, if he had to change to simplified Chinese characters now, he would have to think about it for a long time.

Time passed quickly, and twenty-seven days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the end of February.

The day after tomorrow is the county examination.

Mr. Li simply took a vacation to all the school children, letting them take a day off and adjust their status.

At this time, a thick stack of manuscripts was also accumulated in the second episode of "Journey to the West". Sun Hao and Sun Jia took this manuscript and handed it to the printing shop on the 28th, and settled the account of the first book.

Of course, he told his family that the exam was about to take the exam, and some time ago, because he was too hard to study, he wanted to go out for an outing with Jia Jia to relax.

I heard from Sun Hao that the first episode of "Journey to the West" was good in sales.

Sun Dan didn't take this matter seriously. In ancient China, business was just a side-by-side and didn't take it seriously. With the powerful ability to publish books by Sun's calligraphy shop, even a few books could be sold, not to mention "Journey to the West", one of the four classical classics.

On February 28th, Sun Dan received his wages and started writing as usual. But he suddenly realized that his right hand was trembling, his five fingers curled up like chicken claws, looked up to the distance, and his eyes were filled with booze. At the same time, a thread of saliva hung from the corner of his mouth.

Sun Dan smiled bitterly: This month has finally passed, and it has been a long time since I worked so hard. In any case, this level has finally passed.

Men at work are the most casual, while men at overwork are sloppy.

I won’t write today, take a break, take a day off.

I patted the back of my hand hard, and after a long time, I opened my right hand and took a beautiful hot bath. Finally, my body adjusted to the best condition.

In the evening, Sun Dan used a large bamboo basket to carry the use of a scrapped manuscript outside the mansion and burned it, and slapped two hard with both hands: "I will win!"
