Chapter 27 Whole Family Exam Preparation
Even if you want to publish "Jin Ping Mei", you can't be too hasty. With the urinary nature of Su Tong and Zheng Qian, Chen Xi felt that it was inappropriate to ask them to help publish such a book called "Education|Education|Stolen".
As for Su Tong and Zheng Qian asking him to go to Jiaofangsi again, Chen Xining would rather go back and be locked up in the dark room for a few more hours, and he felt that he really had no common language with these two people. If he had been dating for a long time, he might get himself in.
On June 12, Liu Bing, the chief examiner of this college examination, arrived in Tingzhou Fucheng, and the examination period was announced immediately. The examination was scheduled for June 20th, eight days later.
The exam is divided into two sessions. There is a three-day rest time after the first session. On June 24th, the second session of the college entrance examination will be held to officially decide whether the candidate passes or not.
According to previous regulations, the first session of the college entrance examination will be about twice the number of students admitted, that is, about a hundred people.
It is not easy for candidates to pass the first exam for the six or seven hundred college entrance examinations, let alone because many of the county exam cases are among the recommended students. Even if they pass the first exam, the chance of admission to the second exam is still only about one-third.
Even those who often rank among the top in the Confucianism examination and monthly examination at the prefecture and county levels know that the admission standards for the college examination are completely different from previous examinations, and no one dares to take it lightly.
Liu Bing was a Jinshi and worked briefly in the Hanlin Academy.
Where is the Hanlin Academy? It is where the prime minister comes from, and there is no doubt about the knowledge of the people who come out of there, but the question is, how can you write a qualified article so that the examiner who is a Shujishi from the Hanlin Academy can appreciate your talents and then choose you as a scholar?
It is said that it is the late June exam, and many candidates also use this time to prepare for the exam, but the final exam is set on June 20th, but the time is the last day in mid-June, which makes some candidates feel dissatisfied. They say that the end of the month should be the end of the month. What does it mean to be a day in advance?
Maybe it happened that I was just a coincidence that I had a brief essay on the last day and bumped into the test question?
There are many children with this mentality, and even when they were watching the examination room a few days in advance, there were people yelling in front of the candidates, which made Liu Bing, who came to inspect the examination room, hear it.
Chen Xi was rejected when he visited Liu Bing before, and then learned some rumors about Liu Bing, and then realized that this person could not rub sand in his eyes. Such a person who is very strict with himself and others will definitely not be able to deal with it once he gets angry.
Sure enough, just when Shen Xi was wondering whether these candidates were too arrogant, Liu Bing immediately ordered several officials to lift Tong Sheng who had just made trouble. Each of them gave him a few sticks.
The beaten candidate screamed while screaming: "The sect and doctor cannot be punished..."
Unfortunately, this candidate has not yet achieved fame and cannot be called a "literati and official", and it will be useless to beat him. Liu Bing scolded and said, "Learning must be quiet, and talent must be learned. Without learning, you cannot broaden your talents, and without ambition, you cannot achieve your studies. If you are arrogant, you cannot be energetic; if you are nervous, you cannot be immersed in nature!"
After saying that, Liu Bing did not stop for too long and left the examination room with his entourage.
The candidates, look at me, I look at you. Many people looked puzzled, wondering which nerve the examiner was about, and why what they said was so obscure?
Chen Xi was shocked by the side. Liu Bing scolded the candidates. This passage from Zhuge Liang's "Advice for the Son", which means that learning must be calm and focused. Talent comes from learning. Without learning, you cannot expand your talents, and without ambitions, you cannot achieve knowledge. Indulgence and laziness cannot boost your spirits. Impatient cannot cultivate your temperament.
This is thoughtful, but today the candidates are memorizing the Four Books, Five Classics and related Cheng Wen to deal with the imperial examinations, and they don’t know much about other so-called “miscellaneous books”. If you want to understand the contents of the imperial examinations, in addition to someone who is willing to lend you the book, you must also be able to calm down and memorize the meaning of it. This is undoubtedly a bit too difficult for candidates who are eager for quick success and instant benefits and only seek to enter the imperial examinations.
Liu Bing is so rumored that only a few people can understand it. However, it leaves some candidates with the impression of "old scholars". He speaks in a very literary way and shows off his knowledge in front of younger generations. He is not a good teacher.
However, candidates have developed the habit of dealing with the examiner for a long time. Are you an old pedan? Well, let’s not compete with the quality of discussion. If you refer to the classics, you will be more biased. If you refer to the classics, you will be more biased. If you refer to them, you will be a scholar. I quoted them more biased than you, so I am the case!
On the way back, Chen Xi accidentally met Su Tong again, but Su Tong was alone this time. After the greeting, Su Tong sighed: "This Liu Tixue is really rigorous in academic research. Brother Shen, have you heard clearly what he said?"
Chen Xi thought to himself, this is definitely not a question. How can you be sure that Liu Bing is rigorous in his academic research if you don’t understand it?
Chen Xi immediately shook his head.
Su Tong smiled. He didn't know that Chen Xi was pretending to be confused. He explained it a little first, and then sighed: "Brother Shen should learn more books and be knowledgeable, so as not to be overwhelmed by this test questions. Just from what Liu Ti learned just now, I know that this test questions are not easy."
Chen Xitou has obtained Liu Bing’s test questions from Hui Niang a few days ago in the past two years, including the first few months, and has found some rules.
The questions Liu Bing gave are not difficult, but they are obviously more formal than the county examination and the government examination. They are divided into big questions and small questions. The big questions are one article of the five classics and two articles of the four books. In this way, the candidates have to do three articles in the college examination. In the previous exam, Liu Bing gave a lot of questions in each exam. Often, seven or eight questions were issued in just the four books, so that the candidates could "draw questions" by themselves and draw which one article to avoid the situation of mutual reference and cheating between candidates. As for the five classics, the five classics themselves are divided into five because of the different sutras selected by the candidates. Now he has several questions in each sutra, so there are more questions. Usually, the candidates gather together after the exam and want to review the content of the test questions to see if they can pass, but the result is that the questions they did are completely different and there is nothing to discuss.
This time, Su Tong did not invite Chen Xi to go to the flower and drink together. After all, there were only two days left to prepare for the exam after watching the exam room, and even he had to go back and review it himself.
Chen Xi returned to the pharmacy, and Feng Huaqi was telling Hui Niang and Zhou about the specific process of the hospital examination.
Because Chen Xi was facing a big exam, Hui Niang even put aside the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce for the time being. She stayed at the pharmacy for the past few days to help Zhou's family and urged Chen Xi to study. During these days when Xie Yuner was away, Zhou was busy all the time, and even Chen Xi's examination was not taken care of.
"Hello sir."
When Chen Xi saw Feng Huaqi, he honestly gave greetings. This is the basic etiquette of teachers and students, and he cannot be neglected at all.
Feng Huaqi handed over a few pieces of paper in his hand: "There are a few test questions here, you can use them to practice."
In the past six months, Chen Xi has done hundreds of test questions alone, and the test contents are varied. This is not to be a question, but Feng Huaqi trained his ability to review questions, solve questions and write. Chen Xi took the test questions and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Sir, aren't these two questions done before?"
"Is that so? Then you read it again and write two different articles." Feng Huaqi's old face was a little overwhelmed.
He has many students under his command and has to teach during the day. He has to be a teacher to manage a school. He also has to tutor the candidates in private. Among them, there are those who take the county, government, and college entrance examinations. He has asked so many questions that he can't even remember them himself. He also has to study which questions in the four books are easier to test, and he has a few specious interrogative questions, but even he, the questioner, is confused.
Chen Xi went upstairs with the title.
At this time, only one room was left as the bedroom on the second floor of the pharmacy shop, which was Hui Niang's room, which was also the one in Hui Niang's daily account settlement.
As for 6 Xier's room, it has been completely transformed into Chen Xi's study, so Chen Xi has two study rooms at home and in the medicine shop, which is enough to show the importance the two families attach to his study.
Chen Xi can do other things slowly, but he can do the questions very quickly. In the past, he used to making drafts first, sorting out and proofreading them before copying them into a text. Until now, when he sees a question, he can write it by thinking about it casually, and he is too lazy to even write the draft. Anyway, the simulation questions do not need to involve too profound knowledge. Just solve the questions appropriately and pay attention to the correct format.
After this, the two articles were about 600 to 700 words, and they were completed in less than an hour. This was just a situation where he was resting for a while and deliberately slowing down the pace. When he walked downstairs, Feng Huaqi had not left yet.
"So quickly?" Zhou frowned, "Silly, did Mr. Feng say it? Even if the topic is the same, you have to do a new article and can't handle it."
Chen Xidao: "Mom. I'm doing a new article."
As he said that, Chen Xi handed his answer to Feng Huaqi.
After reading it, Feng Huaqi nodded slightly and finally commented: "Four flat and stable." The simple four-word evaluation is actually a criticism of Chen Xi for being too perfunctory.
After hearing this, Zhou thought that his husband was praising Chen Xi. In her opinion, stability is a good thing, or "stable", which is better. Hui Niang heard the problem and blamed her with some blame: "Xiaolang, you still have to study hard. An article must be reviewed and reviewed."
Chen Xi responded respectfully and then sent Feng Shiqi to leave.
After the person left, Zhou's face was strange: "Sister, Mr. Feng said that Hanwa'er's articles were done smoothly, isn't it a praise?"
Hui Niang sighed: "There are so many candidates in the college entrance examination, and there are too many mediocre people. My sister thinks that Xiao Lang can't make the examiner's eyes shine just by relying on a stable article. Can he become a scholar?"
When Zhou heard that it was so great, he reached out and wanted to catch Chen Xi, but Chen Xi was clever and ran to the backyard: "Mom, I'll go home to review the books first, and the meal will be prepared and delivered to me later."
Zhou scolded, but Chen Xi didn't care.
Anyway, the afternoon homework has been completed, Chen Xi decided to find some leisure and entertainment projects. He is currently planning to publish "Jin Ping Mei". Why not write down the content of "Jin Ping Mei" in his mind first, then add and delete it slightly to complete his Shen family's "Jin Ping Mei".
In the evening, when Zhou went to the study to deliver the meal, he saw Chen Xi working hard and writing very seriously, with neat and beautiful handwriting. He wanted to scold him but couldn't speak out.
"Silly, don't work hard. You have to take the exam the day after tomorrow. Eat more and eat enough to get strong. Is it cold tonight? Do you want to add a quilt for you?"
Chen Xi looked up at Zhou in surprise: "Mom, it's the day of the dog days now."
Zhou then reacted: "Oh, yes. Then don't be hot either. If you don't have a good rest these two days and are sick, your aunt Xie is not here, and no one will treat you. If you drag your sick body into the examination room, it will be difficult to get well. This fish soup nourishes your brain, drink a few more sips. Is it hot? Dai'er, come in and cools the soup for Hanwa'er... Blow slowly, don't blow it into the saliva... Don't look at it, write your homework."
"If you can pass the scholar this year, you will pass the Juren next year and the Jinshi the year after. If you pass the top scorer..."
Chen Xi heard my mother talking to herself, thinking that this imperial examination is really harmful. He is not doing anything yet, so he fooled me first.
