The Red Mansion Is Like a Jade Gentleman

The two exams on the second day are much easier than those on the first day, and of course they are only relatively speaking.

The third competition is to test memory, and the fourth competition is to test knowledge.The content of the exam is different every year, and it is impossible to prepare in advance. It all depends on the candidates and their performance on the spot.

The next day, the 36 students who successfully passed the test yesterday drove to the gate of the Six Arts Academy early in the morning, waiting for the third test questions.

Not long after, the door of the Six Arts Academy opened. The teacher who took the exam led everyone to a classroom. After everyone sat down, they saw that the test papers and answer sheets were neatly arranged on the table!

"Cough, cough..." The master clenched his right hand and coughed dryly on his mouth twice, "Everyone be quiet, the test questions for the third exam today have been placed in front of everyone, and the test papers are made by the masters of the academy based on the 'Four Books and Five Classics'. A total of [-] questions, completed within an hour, and only those who made mistakes within [-] questions passed."

What?Out of a hundred questions, only five could be wrong, and it had to be completed within an hour.

Not to mention other people, even Lin Hai, who has gone through four exams a day in modern society, was a little surprised. The amount of questions is too big!

You know, ancient exams are not like our exams, and there are multiple choice questions.The ancient exams were full of fill-in-the-blank questions and translation questions, which were classical Chinese.

Lin Hai flipped through the test paper, [-]% of the questions were filled in the blanks, and [-]% of the questions were translated.He nodded secretly, this is almost the same, if the translation questions accounted for the vast majority, it would be impossible to finish.

Ignoring other people's complaints, Lin Hai began to work hard after grinding the ink. Modern examinations tell us that complaining will only waste time in vain. It is better to accept fate early and work hard.

With the first leader, no matter how unwilling the others are, they can only act.After all, how many people can be admitted to the Six Arts Academy, what they dream of, they have all reached the third exam now, so naturally they want to pass it smoothly.

An hour later, the master came in on time to collect the papers, and then asked them to gather here an hour later to announce the results.

Lin Hai shook his arms and strode out, looking as if he was sure of winning, but he was muttering in his heart, why is this exam so difficult!The test questions of each exam of the Six Arts Academy will be circulated. Lin Hai has also read the questions of the previous year. It is not so difficult at all, but it is just a paragraph of silent writing.

Lin Hai, who couldn't understand why, shook his head, climbed into his carriage, and planned to take a nap in it to recharge his batteries.

But he didn't want to close his eyes when he heard a quarrel. Lin Hai frowned, and opened the curtain of the carriage window to see that it was two scholars arguing. After listening carefully, it turned out that it was because of the test questions just now. .

Just like modern students can't help correcting the answers after taking an exam, ancient students also have this habit. Didn't the two quarrel because of a translation question!As far as ancient articles are concerned, there are no punctuation marks. Different pronunciations of a sentence may have different meanings.Therefore, it is within the normal range to occasionally have a few misalignments.

Lin Hai smiled slightly, put down the curtain and continued to close his eyes to rest his mind. He could only make five mistakes out of a hundred questions. Although it was difficult, he was also confident to pass, and he didn't know what the fourth exam was.

An hour later, all the students returned to the examination room one after another. When they entered the examination room, they saw a teacher holding a list in his hand!

After waiting for everyone to arrive, the master began to announce the results. "Luo Xiang, you answered all the questions correctly. Congratulations, you are the only one who got all the answers correct this time."

All the answers were correct, and everyone looked at Luo Xiang with indescribable admiration and jealousy in their eyes.Lin Hai looked at Luo Xiang's happy and surprised look, and raised his eyebrows. Isn't this guy the son of Luo Chenshui from yesterday?After all, it is a scholarly family, it is really extraordinary.

"Zhao Xuan...qualified..."

"Li Xin...passed..."

……

"Lin Hai, you made three mistakes, congratulations on passing."

call!Lin Hai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was very sure, his heart finally calmed down after hearing his name from his master.

The third test was really abnormal. Since less than a third of the passers, only seven people passed!

The unqualified master has asked them to leave the Six Arts Academy, and Lin Hai and his seven passers have to go through the final test to determine whether they can finally study in the Six Arts Academy.

Lin Hai and the other six people followed the teacher who led the way to a place where there was a small bridge and flowing water. There were already seven tables set up inside, and there were people pointing at them from time to time.After everyone in Lin Hai stood up according to the master's words, the master pointed to a middle-aged handsome uncle and said, "This is Master Kong Shan from the Six Arts Academy. Master Kong Shan will give you the questions for the last exam."

When the seven people heard that it was Master Kong Shan, they quickly respectfully saluted Master Kong Shan.

"Get up! The topic of the last exam is: Yongzhu, complete a seven-character quatrain in the time of a cup of tea. The five masters present are all great Confucian scholars of the dynasty. As long as three people agree, they can be my six-art academy. student."

"Yes……"

It is not difficult to write poetry, but the topic is limited, and many people can do it as soon as they pick up a pen. The difficulty is to write a poem that satisfies all five masters.Although most of the masters of the Six Arts Academy are well-known Confucian scholars, few people really know what their personal preferences are.

Lin Hai frowned, thinking hard on his face, this poem can neither be flattering nor too strong... It's difficult!

Seeing that more than half of the time has passed, Lin Hai didn't bother to compose poems, so he simply plagiarized, the time traveler doesn't plagiarize and pretends to be a time traveler!Anyway, this is a half-empty world. As long as he doesn’t plagiarize works from before the Tang Dynasty, no one can accuse him of plagiarism, so he wrote Zheng Banqiao’s (Qing Dynasty) poem on a painting with a stroke of a pen:

He insisted that Qingshan would not relax, and Ligen was in the broken rock.

Chima Manto, Nishi-North-South-North.

For Zheng Banqiao's poems, Lin Hai is absolutely confident. In China's thousands of years of history, there are not many people who write bamboo better than Zheng Banqiao. go.

At one time, seven people finished writing, and several servants unfolded it for everyone to read. Because it was written on large rice paper, everyone present could see it clearly.

After everyone had read the seven poems one by one, the judges made a judgment. Lin Hai's poem was definitely second to none. Immediately there was a sound of admiration, and the five masters all recognized Lin Hai's poem, so Lin Hai officially Become a member of Six Arts Academy.

The poems of the other six people also have their own highlights, but in the end they were nitpicking, and three were rejected. Therefore, only four people were admitted to the Six Arts Academy this year.

After Lin Hai and the other three people finished congratulating each other, they hurried home. He wanted to tell Master Lin and Jiang Shi the news as soon as possible. [ps: roll around and ask for a deposit ticket! 】
