Jingzhou Prefecture, Jiangling County.

The county students entered the final sprint stage of preparation for the exam, and everyone was eager to make a big splash in this subject and successfully obtain the qualification for the provincial examination.

Ning Xiu is naturally no exception.

The new school official Qiu Ying personally presided over the county school, and the provincial subject examination is definitely good news.

All Ning Xiu needs is a fair examination environment.

He reviewed the Four Books every day and read the Book of Songs, but did not divide his energy into other subjects. Because the subject examination was just a selective examination after all, and did not take judgment or strategy, but only took the Four Books and Five Classics.

Exams are naturally utilitarian, and Ning Xiu naturally has to devote all his energy to the subjects of the exam.

Liu Weining was even more confident. He waited for ten years not to prove anything to the world but to take back what he lost.

As for the fat black Liu Rushi, it is natural that he has nothing to do with him.

Science test? What is science test?

My younger brother came to the county school not to study and take the exam, but to find happiness.

As for people, happiness is the most important thing.

When everyone was nervously preparing for the exam, Rushijun's behavior was naturally a bit out of place, but it also added a hint of joy to the tense atmosphere.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the test was coming.

There are only two exams in the subject exam, the Four Books are tested in the morning and the Five Classics are completed in one day in the afternoon.

The grandmaster Qiu Ying wore an official robe and entered the Minglun Hall surrounded by county school teacher He Yiqing and several instructors, and began the preparation work before the exam.

The provincial examinations are held in the Gongyuan, and each candidate will be assigned to a special number house, and each exam must be conducted in the number house.

Of course, it also includes eating, drinking, defecation and urination...

In order to help the students adapt to the examination environment of the provincial examination, Teacher He ordered people to build simple temporary houses in the county school, but the conditions and environment are definitely worse than those of the Gongyuan.

As for fraud, there is definitely no need to worry. The grandmaster personally presides over the exam, who dares to cheat? Isn’t that going against the wind?

If you are caught by a master, you will lose the qualification to take the provincial examination and be dismissed from the scholar's fame. These students are all human spirits, and you will not be unable to see this clearly.

The Grand Master nodded at Teaching Yu He beside him, and several of the instructors. Everyone walked out of Minglun Hall together.

At this time, all the students had entered the number room and sat down. Several coaches sent the test questions along several columns, and there were two pieces of white papers sent together with the test questions. All the questions in the Four Books were answered on the blank paper.

When Director Du Xun walked to Ning Xiu's house and sent the test questions, Ning Xiu felt a little nervous.

After all, this is his first time taking the exam since he came to this era. Although he was the top test in his previous life, it does not mean that he can still perform well in this life.

It was a mule or a horse that pulled it out, and this time it was his chance to justify himself.

Ning Xiu took a deep breath and opened the test questions.

The three questions are indeed taken from "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean", but there is no "The Great Learning".

Ning Xiu started answering the questions from the Analects of Confucius. The questions were taken normally, and there was no way to match Ning Xiu's intention.

He first calmed down and thought about solving the problem, and after he had a way of thinking, he picked up his pen and wrote quickly.

After finishing the article in one go, Ning Xiu felt extremely happy.

It turns out that the imperial examination is much easier than he imagined. As long as he has solid basic skills and practices more on weekdays, he will not be too clueless when writing an essay.

But writing an article is only the first step. Whether the article can be calculated well still needs to be commented by the examiner.

After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts.

The quality of the article depends entirely on personal preference.

God knows what flavor this grandmaster likes, Ning Xiu can only exert his strength as much as possible and give the grandmaster a good impression.

The second question comes from "Mencius", which is a piece of paper.

The so-called intercepting question is a test question evolved to deal with candidates’ questions.

The two sentences in the title are taken from a paragraph of original text, and they will have different meanings together.

Candidates cannot write essays according to their pre-exam preparations. They must analyze and solve the questions on the spot, avoiding betting to a certain extent.

But this kind of test questions also has big problems. The biggest problem is that it can easily cause misunderstandings about the original text.

After all, the previous and next sentences extracted from two irrelevant articles are just so combined together. Will the effect be good?

But the candidates have to answer the questions after they come up. They rack their brains to seek the connection between the previous and next sentences to find an idea. The articles they make are naturally strange.

Ning Xiu remembers that in history, the Ming Dynasty once banned examiners from placing interrogations, but later released them, and repeated them several times.

It can be seen that the court also saw that the interrogation of the topic was not conducive to making good articles.

But the Grand Master just came up with a question today. It seems that the court again allowed such questions to appear in the exam in the late Ming Dynasty.

Helplessly, Ning Xiu had to do his best to analyze and try to find a suitable explosive point from the topic. This process felt quite sad as if he stayed up late to write a paper.

And in a house not far away, Liu Weining was writing quickly.

He was so happy that he had lost all his pain and boredom that had been accumulated for many years.

He must seize this opportunity. Next is the provincial examination, the imperial examination, the palace examination...

Who said he didn't have the chance to Lian Jie?

Before he knew it, Liu Weining finished writing all three articles, glanced at him quickly and handed over the test paper to the inspector Du Xun.

Director Du Xun was a little surprised. Is this guy writing too fast?

He did not dare to neglect and handed over the first test paper to Minglun Hall and handed it over to the Grand Master for personal review.

Not long after, Ning Xiu finished solving the last question from the Doctrine of the Mean.

Unlike Liu Weining, Ning Xiu chose to read each article carefully.

It is unlikely to refine it, but it is still OK to see if there are any typos or typos.

Such low-level mistakes often give the examiner a bad impression.

Ning Xiu is a perfectionist and must not allow such a thing to happen.

After confirming that none of the three articles were flawed, Ning Xiu also handed in the paper.

More than a dozen people had already handed in the paper before handing in the paper, but Ning Xiu didn't care much.

The articles of imperial examinations are not like online novels, the faster the better. What the articles of imperial examinations require is incisiveness, and every word is gem. Even if it is impossible to be meticulous due to time constraints, you must do your best to show the highlights.

After handing over the paper, Ning Xiu was relaxed. He could not continue to stay in the number room and had to leave the examination room immediately.

Ning Xiu walked out of the house and stepped on the bluestone road and left the county school. Seeing Liu Weining standing at the gate waiting for him, he stepped forward and greeted him.

"Brother Ru'an, you look very good. It seems that you are confident in this test."

Liu Weining was in a good mood naturally. He smiled and said, "I'm not hiding it from Ning's friend. Liu is so confident every time he ends the examination. What a pity..."

Although he didn't finish speaking, Ning Xiu understood it naturally.

Teaching Yu was kicked away, and the Grand Master personally presided over the examination. This was an excellent opportunity for Liu Weining to turn things around!
