[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

"Since it's a revision, it's better for everyone to come and give their opinions, so we can refer to it."

Naturally, everyone has no objection to what Xue Baochai said. Xue Lin and Tanchun originally wanted to display their talents. Although it was not what they imagined in the end, it was already a big deal for them to be able to participate. This is an extremely rare thing, so naturally they can't help them to pick and choose.

Yingchun and Xichun originally thought that they would have to watch from the sidelines again and could not participate, but Xue Baochai's proposal allowed them to speak, and they were naturally willing.

As for Li Wan, she still just shook her head with a smile. Everyone understood her situation and didn't force it. The sisters began to comment on Wang Yue's poems while talking.

Everyone tentatively brought up some small problems, and then they forgot that Wang Yue was still there, and they were no longer as worried as they were at the beginning. The first poem was criticized beyond recognition, and the sisters couldn't help feeling guilty. Now is not the time to be broad-minded, even if Baoyu came, I'm afraid they would be angry if they were criticized like this.

"This...Brother Yue..." Even Tanchun and Xue Baochai, who were always eloquent, became speechless, not knowing what to say.

After all, Ice Cream is their juniors, they elders don't show any respect to the younger generation, this is not what an elder should look like.

Even if brother Yue was really angry because of this, it was their fault to say it out, and they might even be said mean, this is not the reputation a good girl should have.

Li Wan, who had been watching coldly, opened his mouth at this time to try to smooth things over for the sisters. After all, Brother Yue was a relative of her mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang's family. Her mother-in-law had always disliked her. It is voluntary chastity again, Mrs. Wang has not known how many incidents will happen early to torture her.

She was naturally unwilling to leave a handle on Mrs. Wang.

But before Li Wan opened his mouth, Wang Yue had already seen their embarrassment. Wang Yue really didn't care about their criticism. He knew his own level, and their criticism was not nothing.

When he was a child learning painting from the old man, he had never heard any harsh words, and this kind of criticism was nothing more than a trivial matter to him.

Furthermore, the criticisms from the aunts were all well-intentioned, without any malice. In his previous life, he was maliciously edited by those colleagues because of family affairs. If he really cares about everything, he would have died of anger.

Besides, he is not really only eight years old. In his previous life, he was almost 30 years old. To these little girls, he was almost the age of uncles. Why would he care about these little girls?

So Wang Yue stood up before Li Wan could speak, bowed with a smile and said, "Thank you aunts for your teaching, this junior has been taught."

Seeing that he really didn't have the slightest look of surprise on his face, let alone the slightest bit of reluctance, the sisters became happy again.

Yingchun and Xichun were timid, so they stopped talking at this time, but Xue Lin and Tanchun still boldly tried a few words. Seeing that Wang Yue was really not angry, they did not criticize Wang Yue's poems this time. , but began to guide him how to write poetry.

In fact, the questions Wang Yue brought were not selected for him by the master of the private school, but he himself bought from the bookstore the topics of the imperial examinations published by the imperial court in the past five years. Borrowed, copied by himself.

After a little comparison, Wang Yue quickly discovered the pattern of the questions.

The topics of the poems in the imperial examination are mainly divided into several categories. They are used to sing praises to the emperor, or to describe scenery, flowers and trees, and people. It won't stand out for it either.

If you are bolder and more ambitious, those who want to make a splash will make questions based on major events in the court. For example, the most noisy issue in the court this year is the marriage and the severe drought in the northwest.

If you want to write about marriage, then Wang Zhaojun must be a good entry point, and you can use the past to illustrate the present.

If you want to write about a severe drought, it must be about pity for farmers. Let candidates express their sympathy for the victims.

Of course, if the examiner is less timid and unwilling to make mistakes in the questions, he will naturally choose the questions that are balanced and stable.It is not uncommon for the chief examiner to be convicted because of a wrong question, so they must be more careful.

Therefore, Wang Yue also prepared some poems about scenery and flowers and trees.The scenery around the capital is nothing more than Xiangshan and the like, and the flowers and trees must also be the flowers and plants in spring. There are many poems describing the flowers and plants in the mountains. It is extremely difficult to think of becoming a brilliant, but his poems suddenly changed from vulgar to vivid after several sisters revised them.

Looking at the rewritten poems on the paper, Wang Yue was very happy. After the revision, the original third-rate poems were abruptly elevated to second-rate. It is even more difficult to produce first-class poems. Since the establishment of the imperial examination in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there have been only one or two poems that can be called first-class test posts.

Even if he is unlucky enough to come across a first-class poem that can be handed down through the ages, he won't be able to produce more than a dozen poems. It is very possible to write this poem and rank among the top few. .

Second-rate poetry is enough to be invincible in the examination room.

Now the courtyard test is basically ready.

The classics and meaning questions are completely dependent on luck. Naturally, you can do well when you encounter questions you are familiar with, but you can only admit that you are unlucky when you encounter unfamiliar questions.

There is no point in preparing in advance. As for the theory, he has also prepared two or three papers on the border war and drought control. As for whether he will take the exam, it depends on the attitude of the examiner.

Anyway, the one who can be the magistrate in Shuntian Mansion must either be as fearless as Zhidu, a strong order, or a smiling Buddha with long sleeves and good dancing skills.

If the examiner is as strong as Zhidu, if he chooses to be stable, he will definitely not like the examiner.

If the examiner is a smiling Buddha, he will definitely be disgusted by the examiner if he chooses something special.

It seems that if you want to do well in the exam, you still need to ask the examiner's attitude first.

At this time, Wang Yue couldn't help but lament that he was lucky to accept Jia Zheng's invitation. Given the status of the Jia family in the court, he must know the character of the examiner. It's that hard.

Seeing that Wang Yue accepted their criticisms humbly, the sisters were very happy. Before Wang Yue left, they sent a lot of poetry collections they usually wrote.

Wang Yue readily accepted this. Before, he only knew that Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu were famous talented women, but Wang Yue didn't know how far they really were from him.

But after getting in touch with Wang Yue today, he realized that when it comes to poetry and prose, compared with these women, he is really a heaven and an underground, and there is absolutely a world of difference.

This is a ready-made teacher, and they will never hide it from themselves. Of course, he will not let go of such a teacher who does not cost any money and works hard. After the exam is over, he will go to Jia's house again .

The author has something to say: Since everyone chooses to be superficial, then I will change it!
