Through the ancient dark horse strategy

Ye Xiaoyi repeated his old tricks, pretended to be sick again, and went to find the magistrate in person, saying that he had asthma and could not smell the smell of urine.Ye Xiaoyi stuffed a Hetian beautiful jade into the magistrate's sleeve, and said, "I don't need others to change seats with me, can I sit in front of you to enjoy the blessing?"

No one has ever done this before. The magistrate of Yangzhou frowned: "There is no shed, what if it is windy and rainy? Also, can you stand the sun for a day to take the exam? Where do you spend the night?"

Ye Xiaoyi pointed to the roosting sycamore tree in the courtyard and said, "How about students taking exams under this big tree? Students come from farming families, so they can rest on this tree at night. If it's windy and rainy, then move to the exam room, is that okay?" "

The magistrate of Yangzhou had another piece of beautiful Hetian jade stuffed by Ye Xiaoyi in private. The Hetian jade in this examinee's family seemed to be free of money, that's all, he didn't have to offend such a family.The magistrate of Yangzhou waved his hand, agreeing to Ye Xiaoyi's request.

On the first day of the exam, such a spectacle appeared in the "Tianzihao" exam room. Everyone took the exam in a small cubicle like a sedan chair, and only a young man in white was answering the questions under the sycamore tree.

According to the officials, it was a sick examinee who couldn't bear the claustrophobic environment of the small cubicle. The magistrate was kind enough to allow him to go to the shade of a big tree to answer his questions.

The magistrate of Yangzhou is very good at being a man, and this story was spread to the public before the exam was over.Word of mouth passed on from the officials, so that the family members of the students waiting outside the hospital heard how the Yangzhou magistrate treated other people's children as their own children.

Not only did the prefect of Yangzhou get the limelight, but the entire "Tianzihao" examination room's students probably knew Ye Xiaoyi.He is so obvious, not only is he handsome and beautiful, but he also sits in such a conspicuous place.

Even the official guards took a test board to make a tour of the field, and they deliberately walked in front of his "patient" and asked him to copy the questions before leaving.

Ye Xiaoyi smiled "weakly", the court official almost nodded his thanks, and took up his pen to answer the question.

Because there was enough time, Ye Xiaoyi first got used to the new pen on the manuscript paper.

Because this is a pen issued by the examination room, the quality is definitely not as good as a few taels of silver in Ye Xiaoyi's home. Ye Xiaoyi has to know whether the hair is hard or soft, and whether the pen tip will split during the writing process.

Silent writing is a test of calligraphy. If there are 1 people who are silently correct, the quality of the handwriting will directly affect the ranking. No. [-] is still ranked in the [-]th, depending on whether the writing skill is deep or not.

This is why the ancients studied calligraphy so obsessively.Originally, text was just a tool for disseminating ideas and knowledge, as long as it could be read, but there were too many competitors, so we had to play tricks in every environment.

However, Ye Xiaoyi's foundation is too shallow, and he can't play tricks, so he can only use the "unchanged and adaptable" block letters to pk other people's fonts with different styles.

Ye Xiaoyi only hoped that there would not be too many talented opponents this year. He practiced regular script for three years, and spent hours every afternoon practicing calligraphy. In a thousand evenings, he practiced regular script for [-] hours. Already comparable to a printer.

He still has the confidence to not be compared by ordinary people, but if he meets a calligraphy madman like "Wang Xizhi", Ye Xiaoyi only hopes that he can win in memorization.

The dictation questions this time were indeed much more difficult. The three dictation essays in the previous county test were all famous passages, but this time the "pasting scriptures" (dictionary writing) took a full day.Not only were there too many questions, but even the chapters in the Tianshu "Shangshu" and the Three Biographies of the Spring and Autumn Period came out.

However, the test questions are still relatively flexible. Every time you post a question, you choose one of the two and write it silently. When you write two papers, you only need to choose one silently, which greatly reduces the difficulty.

At the end of the day, the patrol officer posted questions five times, a total of ten paragraphs, all of which Ye Xiaoyi remembered, and Ye Xiaoyi chose five more difficult ones to write silently.He chose this way to show that he has a solid foundation, make up for the lack of calligraphy, and strive for a higher ranking.

On the second day of the composition test, the topic is "Jiangdu Fu". Jiangdu is Yangzhou. It is an elementary school composition like "My Hometown Yangzhou". It is enough to write one or two hundred words.

However, the genre must be "fu", which requires that the format is the same as that of poetry, the end of the sentence must rhyme, the tone of the upper and lower sentences must be in line with the ups and downs, and antithesis and parallelism must be emphasized.It is also a style of writing that needs to be pieced together on the manuscript paper, deleted, deleted, modified, and revised to finally form a chapter. It is whimsical to write a fu with a single stroke.

Ye Xiaoyi is still good at writing a short fu, but to win among so many people, he has to use his brain.

Writing about my hometown xxx is nothing more than writing about the history of Yangzhou, including historical figures, historical events, and famous scenic spots, according to the writing method of "Geography".

Then write about the current cultural environment: people's life, folk customs, city walls, whether products are abundant, scenic spots in four seasons, etc., and walk through it in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the number of words must be in place.

Finally, I would like to express the author's emotions and ambitions, which are nothing more than themes such as I love my hometown, I am proud of Yangzhou, I am envious of my hometown, and I want to contribute to my hometown.

This kind of writing is simple, but it is easy to be stereotyped. If you want to win, you must crush others.

The concept is different, the materials selected for the article, and the angle of description will be emphasized accordingly.Therefore, the idea of ​​an article determines the style of the whole article, Ye Xiaoyi spent a lot of time thinking about what the "central idea" should be written to win over others.

Ye Xiaoyi bit his pen and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided on his theme: Born here, raised here, I was born here, I was born as a man of the dynasty, and died as a ghost of the dynasty.

Is this feeling deep enough?If there was a confession that was more disgusting than brother, Ye Xiaoyi would have nothing to do.

After establishing the center, the second step is to cut the material.

The materials are nothing more than used to reflect that the great wealth of Jiangdu (Yangzhou) is inseparable from the dedication and labor of the people, every scene in Jiangdu is connected with people, and the sufferings experienced by Jiangdu people are sensational.

After selecting the material, nouns such as chariot, horse, cow, champagne, and pavilion came out, and related descriptions such as busy traffic, ten miles of willow bank, fire tree and silver flower also came out, and Ye Xiaoyi could start to compose sentences and compose articles up.

The composition of the article is still in accordance with the topography, first write the history, then describe Jiangdu, and finally chant the history.Ye Xiaoyi still finished this "elementary school composition" around three o'clock in the afternoon.

After he was done, Ye Xiaoyi stretched his fingers and looked around. No one in the Tianzihao examination room turned in the paper early?Forget it, I won't be the first one, Ye Xiaoyifu continued to revise and polish the sentences, carefully crafting the rhyming words one by one, and didn't hand in the paper with everyone until dusk.

The strategy discussion in the third round was indeed a question about soldiers. After two days of exams, Ye Xiaoyi didn't bother to think about it, so he wrote down the "few versus many" tactics he had prepared in advance.

When leaving the examination room, Ye Xiaoyi thought to himself: I should be the first in this government examination, right?He guessed the topic of policy theory right, and his essay was so sensational that he even picked the most difficult silent writing question. No one wants to win as much as he does, right?

On the day the results were released, Ye Xiaoyi jumped on Xiao Mo's body and hugged him: "Hahahaha! I got the first place in the exam!"

Xiao Mo pinched his face, and said with a smile: "You are so happy to get the first place in the exam?"

After Ye Xiaoyi got excited, he touched his nose and jumped off Xiao Mo: "Of course I'm happy, if I take the first place again, I can be recommended for this year's provincial examination, and I don't have to wait another three years!"

Xiao Mo pulled him back into his arms, straightened his clothes, and reminded him: "Why are you so anxious to become the number one scholar? Do you know that you are too young to be an official? Your Majesty usually asks him to wait a little longer." In a few years, even if the article is the first, it will not be selected as the champion."

Ye Xiaoyi snorted, "That's up to him. If I win five prizes in a row for three prizes, and if he doesn't choose me as the number one prize for the sixth prize, everyone will know that Jinshang discriminates against young men. Will he do this?"

This time Xiao Mo laughed out loud, touched Ye Xiaoyi's face and said, "As expected of a student I have taught, you are so courageous! As a teacher, I am waiting for you to win six yuan."

Ye Xiaoyi nodded: "Let's wait and see!"

In fact, after eight consecutive exams, Boss Ye has already found the feeling of winning.There is sufficient time for each exam, and there is enough time for him to think about strategies and find winning points.

For example, in calligraphy, he can't say that his handwriting is better than everyone else's, but he can guarantee that his handwriting is regular enough and won't be compared to others.

As for the recitation, except for the useless parts that he deleted, he basically memorized the Thirteen Classics properly. As long as he didn't ask questions on the horns, he could get full marks.

As for articles, this is an important battlefield for students to compete for rankings, and they need to be dealt with concretely, and they should not be written rashly.

In the end, only the top [-] candidates of thousands of candidates in the government examination will continue to take the entrance examination, and the rest of the passers will be awarded the "Tongsheng" diploma.Ye Xiaoyi took the entrance examination and was about to sign up for the college examination.

The college examinations are held in various state capitals, and it just so happens that Yangzhou City is the state capital of Yangzhou, so Ye Xiaoyi is saved from having to travel again to catch up with the examination.Candidates from other 39 cities in the same state have to come to Yangzhou City to take the college exam.After passing the college examination, you are an official scholar.

Both Xiao Qian and Ye Fangtian came to congratulate Ye Xiaoyi for winning the first place in a row, but it's a pity that Ye Xiaoyi didn't have time to meet and drink with them.Because he has to rush to write the "Table" for self-introduction and recite it.

This "table" means that I am a certain person from a certain nationality, who is my father, the experience of my ancestors, and the general life history. I will briefly mention my ambitions. The simpler and more secure the better.Because before the first college test, the top ten candidates in each government test will be brought up for an interview.

The person who interviewed and invigilated the students this time was the admiral Xuezheng of the state highway, a second-rank official, very famous.The county magistrate who invigilated the examination before was only seventh rank, and the magistrate was only fourth rank, while Xuezheng was appointed by the emperor as an imperial envoy.

The higher the qualification, the more Ye Xiaoyi wanted to hit him up directly. If he was willing to recommend himself to take the provincial examination, that would be the most convenient way.It is much more convenient to ask Yangzhou officials to help open up the relationship than asking grandpa to sue grandma.

So Ye Xiaoyi is practicing the interview with Xiao Mo recently, so it's better to simulate the palace test in advance.

Ye Fangtian died laughing when he learned that Ye Xiaoyi was bored at home and was actually practicing a simulated dialogue. He personally caught him and dragged him to drink: "Want to know how to talk to high-ranking officials and how to answer to the emperor? Brother can teach you You, don't forget that my lord is the last Tanhualang."

Surprisingly, Xiao Mo didn't stop Ye Fangtian from taking his students away, but smiled like a fox and said to Ye Xiaoyi: "You don't need to send them to your door for nothing, Ye Fangtian is very popular in the officialdom, you can Ask him more about how to speak official Chinese."
