The rise of the poor

Chapter 200 Confucius 72 Yin
Early the next morning, Zhu Pingan woke up from his sleep, lifted the rabbit fur blanket and opened his eyes. Only one of them felt cold.

And then I was surprised to find that it was snowing outside, the snow was not small, dense white snowflakes fell freely from the air, and fell profusely on the roof, the ground, the trees, and all the places that could fall.The outside is snow-white, and the ground seems to be covered with a snow-white carpet. Occasionally, several rows of footprints can be seen, probably left by the soldiers outside when they changed their guard.

I am a wolf in the north, but I freeze into a dog in Nanjing.

I used to be puzzled when I heard this sentence in modern times. Nanjing belongs to the south. How could it be so cold? Just kidding, but now I have experienced it personally. The quilt was shivering from the cold, but fortunately, I had already prepared and brought enough clothes.

After Zhu Ping got up, he picked up another rabbit fur coat from his luggage and put it on, only then did he feel warm.After washing his face, he ate breakfast in a charcoal brazier. Zhu Pingan cleaned up the dormitory, restored it to the table and chairs, and then devoted himself to answering questions again.

Zhu Pingan's only remaining man next door put all the clothes on his body, still shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but put his hands on the brazier to roast after writing a few words, and he had to always pay attention not to let the cold runny nose on test paper.At this time, this dear friend is extremely envious of the naive young man next door who came in with a huge bag on his back
It was snowing heavily all day, and on this day Zhu Ping'an also finished writing the remaining four stereotyped essays.The last one was written at dusk, with a little bit of candle.

These four stereotyped essays are all stereotyped essays of the Five Classics, and none of them are difficult.However, one of the questions is very interesting: I think about it when I am ignorant.This sentence comes from "Shangshu Qin Oath", ambiguous originally means ambiguous thinking, that is, deep diving and quiet thinking (that is, I think secretly in my heart).

There is still a joke about this topic in modern times. It is said that there was a scientific examination in the late Qing Dynasty.But one examinee had never read the "Shangshu Qin Oath" and mistook the "ambiguous" for "sister", so the whole article was about elder brother and younger sister, and a declaration of love between you and me. The examiner couldn't laugh or cry after reading it. He was silent, and commented on the side: "Brother, you are wrong."It was a joke for a while.

I don't know if anyone will make the same mistake in this exam.

This evening.The snow stopped.

But on the third day, the weather was even colder. It is obvious that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, Zhu Ping'an had already neatly copied all seven stereotyped essays on the test paper, and after checking it several times, he was waiting to hand in the paper.

This is the first and most important test of the township examination. For example, the marking is based on the seven stereotyped essays in the first test, and then combined with the situation in the second and third tests.Read and discuss with each other, and decide on the middle amount.

This day is the date for handing in papers. This day is divided into three batches, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.The cursive official issues a signature for each volume collected, and the signatures match.Examination papers are vaguely named, and before marking, a copyist uses a red pen to transcribe, and the examiner reviews the red paper and marks it with a blue pen.

Zhu Pingan hurriedly handed in the paper in the evening and packed up his things.Followed the crowd out of Jiangnan Gongyuan.

When Zhu Ping'an came out, there were still candidates in the Gongyuan who were racing against the clock, and the rural examination stipulated that the field should be cleared at Xu time, that is, around [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.If they haven't finished by then, they can only fail the ranking.

Wish you guys good luck.

When Zhu Pingan left the examination room, he said something silently.

It's the same as modern exams.When I left the examination room, I saw people in twos and threes gathering together, talking about the examination room.Of course, the main thing is to discuss the exam questions, you say something and I say something.Their faces were flushed red from the fight, and then someone felt that something was wrong, and finally their complexions turned pale.

Why bother, the psychological quality is not enough, why discuss the exam questions at this time.Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly, curled his lips, and strode towards the inn.

"Zhu, Brother Zhu, wait for me."

When Fatty's voice came from behind, Zhu Ping'an stopped in his tracks, and when he turned around, he saw Fatty running over tremblingly, washing his nose while walking, freezing like a dog.

The fat man walked up to Zhu Ping'an, saw the two layers of rabbit fur coat on Zhu Ping'an's body, his eyes lit up, he rushed to take off one to put it on, and shouted from the inside, that the godmother was partial and so on.

"There's one more thing in the bag, I'll give it to you." Zhu Ping'an turned around and threw the bag he was carrying into the hands of the fat man.

Then the fat man hurriedly found a rabbit fur coat from his luggage, and he couldn't wait to put on the rabbit fur.In an instant, the long-lost warmth struck again, and the fat man's happy eyes were so narrowed that he couldn't find them anymore.

Because the exam was coming up tomorrow, Zhu Ping'an and Fatty simply had a sumptuous dinner at the inn for dinner, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

In the early hours of the next day, Zhu Pingan and other candidates lined up in front of the Jiangnan Tribute Academy again to wait for admission.This time everyone brought more things, including more clothes.

At about three o'clock, the Gongyuan began to check and enter the venue, and at about six o'clock, Zhu Ping'an arrived at yesterday's dormitory.

This is the second round of the township examination. There is one trial theory, five verdicts, and one imperial edict, imperial edict, and internal medicine.

This exam was not difficult, and it was almost all official application essays. Zhu Pingan finished this exam as if he wasted his time, and the quality of the answers was also very good. He handed in the paper in the afternoon of the third day.

And then it was early in the morning to queue up for the third exam,

This exam is much more difficult, and Shi Ce has five ways to test.There is nothing wrong with the first policy topic, but 80.00% of the candidates are about to collapse when they see the second question.

"There are 72 sages in Confucianism, what can a sage do?"

Nima, I can't even describe the 72 disciples of Confucius, but let me tell you what skills they have!So many candidates collapsed.

Zhu Pingan was a little happy when he saw this question. For himself with a super memory, this question is not difficult.I used to check the relevant information of Confucius' 72 disciples on the Internet, including "The Family of Confucius", "Spring and Autumn" and other scattered records, such as "Historical Records of the Family of Confucius": Books, rites, and music teaching, there are three thousand disciples, and there are seventy two who master the six arts." Therefore, this question is hardly difficult for Zhu Ping'an.

Yan Hui is Confucius' favorite disciple, studious and benevolent; Min Sun, famous for virtue; Ran Qiu, versatile, famous for political affairs; Zai Yu, good at rhetoric; Duan Muci, excellent in politics and diplomacy, and superb in financial management and business
In addition to this topic of policy, there is another interesting topic of other policy, which is about the policy of governance.

Without even thinking about it, Zhu Ping'an polished up the anti-Japanese strategy he had done, and copied it directly on the draft paper.

At dusk on the third day, the creaking sound of the door of Jiangnan Gongyuan shattered the loneliness of the street.

A young man in a rabbit fur coat walked out of the door, walked and stopped, looked back at the gate of Jiangnan Gongyuan, and confidently raised the corners of his lips, showing a silly smile, and then disappeared into the vast snowstorm.
