The rise of the poor

Chapter 82

The first round of the county test is called the main field, and this test consists of two essays on the four books, one essay on the five classics, and one poem with five characters and six rhymes.These questions are relatively simple and basic, and are much less difficult than the government test and the academy test.

Zhu Ping'an smiled when he saw the questions on the board. It was a coincidence that he had tried to solve the meaning questions of these three articles, four books and five scriptures.

The first question is from "The Analects of Confucius.": "Government with virtue, such as Beichen, where the stars live together."

The second question is taken from "The Doctrine of the Mean": the way of a gentleman, such as climbing high.

The third question is that the meaning of the Five Classics comes from the "Shangshu": Jingyan is inviolable, and it is like respecting the sky.

The meaning of these three chapters, four books and five scriptures, because Zhu Ping'an has broken the topic, can be said to be handy. If it takes no time to write, he is not in a hurry.Zhu Pingan copied the three questions neatly on the scratch paper in small letters, and began to read the last question of the exam.

The last topic is the title of the test post poem, which is a poem: Yin Yin Xia Mu Zhuo Oriole.

This is the case with test-post poems in the imperial examinations. Most of the questions are taken from a poem or even an allusion by a poet in the previous dynasty, and then you start to make test-post poems based on this poem.

Zhu Ping'an will also copy this poem on the draft paper, and add the word "Fu De" in front of it. This is the format of the poem for the imperial examination.

This title is also very simple. This poem is from Wang Wei's "Jiyu Wangchuanzhuang Zuo".Egret flying in desert paddy fields, oriole flying in shaded summer.In the mountains, Xi Jinping quietly watches the hibiscus, and Matsushita Qingzhai folds the dew sunflower.Ye Lao and others are fighting for seats, and the seagull is more suspicious of what is going on.

You don't need anything thoughtful about the test post poem, the format meets the requirements, and a single word is enough, that is to praise the virtues.Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Ming Dynasty, canceled the poems and songs in the township examination and the meeting. The test post poems only appeared in the county examination of the children's examination, and almost did not affect the results of the children's examination. The children's examination mainly read the eight-part essays.

After reading all the test questions, Zhu Ping'an knew what to do, put the test paper on the side of the table, and pressed it with a stone to prevent the north wind from blowing away, then took out the food from the basket and ate it with relish.

The cooked braised pork has been cut into pieces by the inspector. Zhu Ping'an took out a pair of chopsticks and chewed it slowly.

I got up so early in the morning and I haven't had breakfast yet. This exam is going to take a day, so it's not too late to write after having breakfast.

It is normal for Zhu Ping'an to eat breakfast by himself, but other candidates don't see it that way.Especially the students and scholars who lived in the same inn with Zhu Ping'an, recognized that this person who was eating with relish in the examination room was the famous one who was bitten by snakes and heard birds in the firewood room. They shook their heads slightly, and gave Zhu Ping'an a sympathetic look. Their thoughts were roughly like this:

This silly boy has given up on himself.

Sure enough, this idiot will only eat when he enters the examination room.

The one who makes up the number is the one who makes up the number, and his task is completed when he enters the arena.

Everyone basically gave Zhu Pingan the concluding remarks of Luosunshan.

After eating braised pork, some preserved fruit, and finally drinking the cup of water that he brought with him, Zhu Ping'an burped, causing countless eyes to be rolled around him, and they all label Zhu Ping'an a foodie and a fool in their hearts.

Ignoring the gazes of the people around him, Zhu Ping'an was full, took out a piece of scratch paper, and began to write the draft.
"This foodie is also used to making a statement. After eating and wiping his mouth, he starts to write and draw in a serious manner. It must be a nonsense. Alas, it's a pity. It's a pity to step into the exam room, even if I won three yuan this time."

"I'm ashamed that this person is in the same exam room."

The people around them thought so, and once again ridiculed and despised Zhu Ping'an in their hearts.

Time passed slowly. At noon in the morning, people found that the foodie and idiot started to eat again. This time, instead of scribbling and doodles, he took out a rabbit fur blanket and lay down on the table to sleep.

Dead wood cannot be carved
A wall of dung cannot be plowed
Regarding Zhu Ping'an's behavior of lying on the table to sleep, people invariably applied the original words of Confucius when his disciple Zai Yu slept in the daytime on Zhu Ping'an.

At this time, the candidates think that this guy is a jerk sent by God. You can eat, drink, sleep, and sleep at home. You are still very comfortable, so why bother to come to the examination room.

Of course, there are also well-meaning students who have completed the two questions in the examination room and expressed deep sympathy for Zhu Ping's self-defeating behavior: this person is so stupid, but he has the courage to take the test, and his courage is commendable, which is a pity.

As for Zhu Ping'an's behavior of sitting upright and writing on the test paper from the scratch paper after sleeping for more than half an hour, it was also regarded as a bluff by the candidates.

Zhu Ping'an, who answered with peace of mind, had no idea that he had spent the day with contempt, ridicule, and sympathy.
As the time approached evening, one after another, people finished writing and handed in the papers and left the stage under the guidance of the clerk. After a while, Zhu Ping'an also followed the majority of the people and left the stage.

The students who haven't handed in the papers have expressed deep contempt for Zhu Ping'an's behavior of handing in papers early.Definitely not finished!

There are four county exams in total. After the first exam, the second exam will be taken two days later. For example, the first exam on the 9th, then the second exam will start on the 12th.The two days left in the middle is the time for the examiner to change the papers and grade the papers. The list will be released around noon on the 11th. The list of those who passed the first round will be listed on the list, and those on the list can participate in the second round. If you don't pass the first round, then you can go back and forth from there.

After returning to the inn, Zhu Ping'an put away his things, washed a little, changed into clean clothes, and went to the lobby for dinner.

When he got to the lobby, Zhu Ping'an asked for a meat and vegetable dish, a bowl of beef soup, and a stack of two steamed buns. When he was about to eat, Zhu Ping'an found that many people sitting in the lobby were pointing at him. Nodding, shaking his head and whispering again, from time to time there are sneers.

What's the situation?
When Zhu Ping'an was at a loss, the uncle came over to explain Zhu Ping's confusion.

"Hey, She'er, why did Uncle Yu tell you about you? You actually fell asleep in the examination room during this test. Your behavior is laughable and generous. Everyone said that you are the slaughter of the world!"

Uncle Zhu Shouren looked distressed.

"When Shizaiyu?" Zhu Ping'an seemed to be busy eating and heard Shijiyu before hearing what the uncle said before. Hearing Shijiyu, he put down his chopsticks, his eyes lit up, and he repeated it.

Uncle Zhu Shouren nodded vigorously.

"It's a prize." Zhu Ping'an got the uncle's affirmative answer, but there was a shy smile on his simple and honest face.

噗

There were people eating around, and when they heard Zhu Ping'an's answer, they squirted their rice, Nima, this guy doesn't just know that Zai Yu is a student of Confucius, so he thinks we are praising him.

"Ru, alas." The uncle shook his head and left in a heartache.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the expressions of the uncle and everyone in the lobby, smiled lightly, lowered his head and continued to eat his own meal.

No wonder the uncle didn't pass the test for more than [-] years, no wonder so many people in the lobby didn't pass the test.

They read too one-sidedly, short-sighted, only see Zai Yu nap, but did not see that Zai Yu is a member of the "Ten Confucian philosophers", eloquent, Confucius listed Zai Yu as a genius in the language class, ranked higher Zigong is still in the exam.Uncle and these people have never had a deep understanding of Zaiyu. Zaiyu is 19 years younger than Confucius and has excellent eloquence. He was one of the members who followed Confucius to travel around the world. Chu and other countries have made great achievements.Zaiyu was posthumously granted the title of "Marquis of Qi" in the Tang Dynasty, "Duke of Linzi" in the Northern Song Dynasty, and "Duke of Qi" in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Even the current dynasty, um, that is, Emperor Jiajing, who is now in power, has changed his name to Zai Yu as "Sage Zai Yu" in the ninth year of Jiajing.
