[Comprehensive Wear] A good brother's life

After simulating the township examination, Lin Huaiyu's score was at the bottom of the second list, and he barely caught the last train of Juren.Both Lin Huaiyu and Ye Wenfu were not surprised by this simulation result.

"Father, I don't think there is any need for mock exams." Lin Huaiyu said with self-knowledge, "I will definitely fail the exam." He barely passed the provincial exam.If he can take the test, he will definitely fail the test.For the palace test, don't wishful thinking for the time being.Because you can't pass the exam, you can't participate in the palace exam.

"I know you will fail the exam, but you still have to take the exam so that I can know where you are lacking." Ye Wenfu was not disappointed with Lin Huaiyu's barely passing the exam.On the contrary, Lin Huaiyu's barely passing the exam is considered pretty good.As for the exam, he knew in his heart that Lin Huaiyu would not pass the exam.

"Okay, then I'll continue the exam." It's good to feel the difficulty of the general and palace exams in advance, so that you can count them mentally.You won't panic when you take the exam three years later.Both the general examination and the palace examination are taken in the second year of the rural examination.

The general examination is the same as the rural examination process, and there are three exams.The content of the exam is basically the same, but the general exam has more questions than the rural exam.In the first exam of the general examination, there are seven questions, three questions in the "Four Books", and four questions in the "Five Classics".

The topic is generally a sentence or a few sentences, or a paragraph taken from the Four Books and Five Classics.It is not uniformly intercepted in one book, but in the Four Books and Five Classics.That is to say, intercept a sentence, or half a sentence, from "The Analects of Confucius", and then intercept a sentence or a few sentences from "Spring and Autumn".Put the words taken from "The Analects of Confucius" and "Spring and Autumn" together, and then the candidates will start answering the questions according to their own understanding.

This kind of mix-and-match style of examination questions has appeared in the college examination before.However, the mix-and-match style exam questions produced by the college are very simple, which is to test the dead content in the Four Books and Five Classics. As long as candidates memorize the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, they can answer them accurately.However, it is difficult to test the mix-and-match style of the test questions. The test is based on the understanding of the candidates, and the questions must be answered in light of the current situation.

Lin Huaiyu had a headache looking at the first question of the test. It took a sentence from each of the Four Books and Five Classics as the question.These words are obviously not related to each other, but they are put together.

Four books, five classics, nine books, nine sentences, each sentence is not coherent when put together, what should people do?

Lin Huaiyu didn't expect that the first question of the first exam would be so perverted. If he started writing with one sentence or two or three sentences as the topic, he would definitely be able to write it, and he could write a lot of words eloquently.However, it is definitely wrong to write with one sentence or two or three sentences as the topic, otherwise nine sentences would not be given.

After reading this question several times, and repeatedly confirming the meaning of each sentence, Lin Huaiyu finally got a theme, but he was not sure that the theme he thought of was correct.

Alas, forget it, a dead horse is a living horse doctor, so let's just write nonsense.

The answers must not only be written in accordance with the format, but also be answered with a level that makes people's eyes shine. But this "brightness" should not be strange, and must also fit the Four Books and Five Classics and the current situation.

too difficult.

It's really hard.

He would rather write SCI papers than write exam questions.

Although Lin Huaiyu complained frantically in her heart, she still answered the questions honestly.

The second question was a bit simpler, instead of taking nine sentences from the nine books, it took eight sentences from the four books for the examinees to answer.

Lin Huaiyu reviewed the questions for a while, and then raised his pen to answer the questions.

Before, when I mocked the rural exam, although I felt that the rural exam was difficult, I knew where to start.As for the exam, I really didn't know where to start writing for a while.

Lin Huaiyu still has a little confidence in the mock exam.Now, in the mock exam, he has no confidence at all. He doesn't know whether he understands the topic correctly, so he feels very guilty when answering the questions.

The first exam of the guild exam could not be finished in one day.Lin Huaiyu took the mock exam for a day, and only completed five questions, and there were two more questions to finish.

In the next few days, Lin Huaiyu was busy with mock exams.It took him seven days to finish answering all the exam questions.

The time for the three exams is nine days, which is the same as the rural exam.Lin Huaiyu took the mock exam for seven days, two days earlier than the nine days for the formal exam, which is not bad.

During his mock exam, that is, on the fifth day of his mock exam, Jia Tanchun, Jia Yingchun, Jia Xichun, Shi Xiangyun, and Xue Baochai came to Ye Mansion to visit Xiao Daiyu.

Originally, Jia Baoyu wanted to come with him, but Jia Tanchun thought it was inappropriate, so he didn't let him come.Because of this, Jia Baoyu and Jia Tanchun were still at odds.

Jia's mother asked Jia Tanchun and the others to take Jia Baoyu with them, but Jia Tanchun said that the rules of the Ye Mansion were probably very strict. If Jia Baoyu really wanted to go, he could only go to the front yard of the Ye Mansion to find Lin Huaiyu, and he had to go to the Ye Mansion in advance. Write greetings.In addition, Lin Huaiyu was studying with Ye Wenfu, so he might not have time to entertain Jia Baoyu.

Hearing what Jia Tanchun said, Jia's mother had no choice but to persuade Jia Baoyu not to go to Yefu with Xue Baochai and the others.

Jia Tanchun and the others originally thought they could see Lin Huaiyu when they came to Ye Mansion, but they learned that Lin Huaiyu had been simulating the imperial examinations for a while, and even Xiao Daiyu hadn't seen her brother for several days.

"My brother is taking the mock exam, so I don't want to visit and disturb him, and I don't know how he is doing now?" During the mock exam, Lin Huaiyu lived in the study, and didn't leave the study for half a step.Xiao Daiyu naturally did not see him.

"It's not a real exam. Does it need to be so strict?" Xue Baochai couldn't help worrying about Lin Huaiyu.

"The adoptive father said that the real test will be stricter, so my brother can't leave the study, and we can't visit Lin Huaiyu." Because she couldn't go to the study to visit Lin Huaiyu, Mrs. Ye even quarreled with Ye Wenfu because of this, but Ye Wenfu was not afraid of his wife this time , Insist on not letting them visit and disturb.Mrs. Ye had no choice but to listen to Ye Wenfu. "Last time, my brother was exhausted in the mock exam for the rural exam. I'm afraid he will be even more tired this time for the mock exam."

Jia Tanchun frowned slightly and said, "Can't Master Ye be more accommodating?"

"That's right, I don't really know how to try." Shi Xiangyun worried, "What if Cousin Lin gets tired?"

Xiao Daiyu sighed softly and said, "I hope brother is okay."

Xue Baochai asked in confusion: "Why is Master Ye so strict with Mr. Lin?"

"Because the township examination will be taken in two years, the adoptive father is very strict with my elder brother."

"Mr. Lin is really not easy." I thought I could see Mr. Lin when I came to Ye Mansion, but I didn't expect to see him at all. Xue Baochai felt a little disappointed, but at the same time worried about Lin Huaiyu.

Xiao Daiyu didn't talk about her brother anymore, but talked about other things with Xue Baochai and the others.

Jia Tanchun knew that Xiao Daiyu liked plum blossoms, so he told her about the plum blossoms in the Quicui nunnery where Miaoyu lived.In winter, they can go to Changcui Nunnery to pick plum blossoms.

When it comes to Quicui Temple, it is natural to talk about Miaoyu.

Shi Xiangyun doesn't like Miaoyu, she thinks Miaoyu is too arrogant.Jia Tanchun didn't think there was anything wrong with Miaoyu's arrogance, after all, she had the capital to be arrogant.

Jia Tanchun said that Miaoyu is also good at writing poems, if Xiao Daiyu sees her, they will be able to talk about it.

Xue Baochai and the others went back after having lunch in Ye Mansion.It was the first time for them to visit Ye Mansion, so they couldn't stay in Ye Mansion for a day, otherwise it would be too rude.

Before leaving, Jia Tanchun and Xue Baochai asked Xiao Daiyu to go to Rongguo Mansion often, and said that Jia's mother had been talking about their brother and sister.

Xiao Daiyu said that they would visit Rongguo Mansion after her brother finished all the exams.

After returning to Rongguo Mansion from Ye Mansion, Xue Baochai told Aunt Xue about moving out.When she went to Ye Mansion, she found that their house in the capital was not very far from Ye Mansion, only two streets away.

If they move back to live, they can often visit Xiao Daiyu in Ye Mansion, and they don't have to be with Jia Tanchun and the others.

Aunt Xue felt that her daughter's consideration was right, and agreed to move out of Rongguo Mansion.Besides, they always wanted to move out of Rongguo Mansion, but their mother kept them.

"After a few days, I will talk to the old lady about moving out again. This time, no matter what the old lady says, we must move out."

"Well, the Grand View Garden is in a mess, we should have moved out long ago." Xue Baochai felt that if she lived in Rongguo Mansion, she might not be able to move out in the future.

"Those ladies and maids in the Grand View Garden..." Aunt Xue shook her head, "Everyone is inappropriate. By the way, when you go to Ye Mansion, what do you think of the rules of Ye Mansion?"

"The rules of the Ye Mansion are very strict, and the servants are very disciplined." Xue Baochai said, "The Ye Mansion is also very quiet, no wonder Mr. Lin and the others want to live in the Ye Mansion."

Aunt Xue nodded: "The home of a second-rank official should be like this." After finishing speaking, she whispered, "Your aunt can't be a housekeeper."

"I think my aunt doesn't want a housekeeper at all." Although Xue Baochai didn't know the specific situation of Rongguo Mansion, she could tell that Mrs. Wang didn't want to be a housekeeper, otherwise she wouldn't have been urging Wang Xifeng to be a housekeeper.

Aunt Xue knew the situation in Rongguo Mansion, "Ever since the Concubine Concubine in the palace built a family-saving villa, the situation in Rongguo Mansion has not been very good." Aunt Xue knew very well in her heart why Mrs. Wang took a fancy to Xue Baochai, and it was for them The property of the Xue family.

Although their Xue family is not as good as before, they still have a rich family background.Besides, their Xue family still has many shops in operation, and money comes into the account every day.

"To avoid long nights and dreams, let's move out as soon as possible." If they continue to live in Rongguo Mansion, they don't know what will happen.Besides, if he continued to live in Rongguo Mansion, he would have little chance to get close to Lin Huaiyu.Only when she moved out of Rongguo Mansion would she have more chances to see him and get close to him.

"Leave this matter to me." Aunt Xue thought for a while and said, "In order not to offend your aunt, we have to give your aunt a big gift when we move out."

"What gift?"

"Your aunt has been looking for remedies for conceiving children. She has collected a lot over the years, but none of them work." Aunt Xue said, "Before, your brother and the others went to the Western Regions to purchase goods. Thinking about it, I really found out. When your brother and the others come back, we will give your aunt the recipe for childbirth in the Western Regions."

Xue Baochai nodded slightly: "That's fine."

"I hope the remedies for childbirth brought from the Western Regions will be useful. When the concubine De concubine gives birth to the prince, your aunt won't blame you."

The second day after Xue Baochai and the others came to Ye Mansion, Lin Huaiyu finally finished the mock exam and came out of the study.

After coming out of the study, Lin Huaiyu slept for a whole day to recover his spirit.

Mrs. Ye saw that he had lost a lot of weight in seven days, so she tried her best to make up for him.

Seeing that her brother was even more tired this time than last time, Xiao Daiyu felt very distressed, and couldn't bear her brother to mock the imperial examination again.

Lin Huaiyu simulated the exam for seven days in the study, and failed the exam without any accidents.He answered very poorly in the examination questions, and half of the questions were off topic.

Although I knew for a long time that I failed the exam, I still felt very uncomfortable when I really failed the exam.

Seeing that Lin Huaiyu was a little downcast, Ye Wenfu asked, "Can't you accept this result?"

Lin Huaiyu nodded: "Well, I'm a little sad."

"It's right to be sad. If you accept this result with peace of mind, I will beat you to death."

Lin Huaiyu: "..."

Ye Wenfu put away the fierce expression on his face, and his expression became gentle: "However, you did better in the exam than I expected."

"Huh? I'm so bad in the exam, you still think it's okay?" Lin Huaiyu was shocked, "Then you thought how bad I was in the exam before."

"I thought you couldn't answer any of the questions correctly." The difficulty of the general examination is not comparable to that of the rural examination.

Lin Huaiyu: "..." Father-in-law, my heart is pierced!

"After reading the answer sheet of your exam, I am more confident that you will pass the exam."

"Really?" He was so bad in the exam that the adoptive father actually became more confident. Could it be that he was comforting him?

"Really, you will continue to simulate the imperial examination tomorrow." Ye Wenfu said, "After the imitation of the imperial examination, I will start explaining to you from the examination papers of the rural examination. After all the explanations are finished, we will learn the Four Books and Five Classics from the beginning."

Lin Huaiyu had no objection to Ye Wenfu's arrangement.

"I listen to my foster father."

"Let's go to rest today, and mock the imperial examination tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then I'll go back to my room first."

Early the next morning, after Lin Huaiyu had breakfast, he began to simulate the palace examination.

The palace exam is only for one day, and it mainly examines policy theory.The emperor would personally make a policy topic, and then several ministers would make some policy topics.The policy topics proposed by the ministers cannot be more difficult than those proposed by the emperor.

In the palace examination two years ago, the question given by Emperor Qinglong was how to create a prosperous world.Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, there has been no sign of a prosperous age, so Emperor Qinglong came up with such a problem.

The scope of this question is too broad, and the flexibility is very strong.It is easy to write even if it is easy to write, because it can be written from many aspects.It's not easy to write, it's not easy to write, because it's too "virtual".

When Lin Huaiyu saw this question, he thought of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.If the story of the Great Tang Dynasty was directly copied and written, it is estimated that it would not get any high marks.He thought about it carefully, and decided to write it in combination with the characteristics of the prosperity of ancient and modern China and foreign countries.

Before dinner, Lin Huaiyu finished answering all the questions in the palace examination.

He felt that the palace test was much easier than the general test, at least he could know which aspect to answer the questions in the palace test.It's really hard to try.

When Ye Wenfu reviewed Lin Huaiyu's exam papers, he found that he answered well, which made him more confident.

Lin Huaiyu did well in the mock exam, and was able to pass the Jinshi exam.However, it is far from being the champion in the exam.

"You kid did well in the palace exam, how could you do so poorly?"

"Father, the palace test is easier than the master test."

"It's not simple. The palace examination questions are very confusing, and it's easy to misunderstand the questions." Ye Wenfu suddenly realized one thing, that is, Lin Huaiyu is very keen on matters in the officialdom. "How did you come up with the idea of ​​writing about prosperity from the standpoint of ordinary people?"

The first question in the palace examination was about creating a prosperous world, and this boy answered it differently from others.When other candidates answered this question, they looked like they were commanding the country, but Lin Huaiyu was not.He wrote from the perspective of ordinary people what the prosperous age in his mind is like.

"Because this question was given by the emperor."

Lin Huaiyu also planned to write various suggestions at the beginning, but after thinking about it, she was wrong.This question was posed by the emperor himself. As an examinee, how could he "point out the country" in front of the emperor, and suggested that the emperor should do this, and only by doing that can he establish a prosperous world.He thinks this question is a trap. If he answers this question with the posture of "pointing out the country", he will definitely not get a high score, but if he writes about the prosperity in his mind from the perspective of ordinary people, then he will not same.
