I slay demons and demons with poetry

Chapter 59 Discussion
Everyone stayed in Master Xun's room for an hour. After Master Xun guided everyone's recent articles again and commented on everyone's answering habits, Master Xun also let everyone relax and prepare for the three The hospital exam in days after.

This time the college examination was presided over by Fan Tixue, and the magistrate and other county officials would be present. The college exam took two days, the first day was about the classics, and the second day was about theories and poems.

The number of questions in these three exams is huge, the content is complicated, and the exam tasks can be said to be very heavy.

It's just very fair, the college examination papers are no longer written by Jiangnan Xidao Xuezheng, but by the imperial court's Ministry of Rites and distributed to the examination colleges everywhere through Dengwen Pavilion.

It is precisely because of the fairness and impartiality of the examination papers and its visible difficulty.

Therefore, Master Xun can only warn everyone to keep a good grasp of the exam time, and consciously understand some situations in the exam room, and make thorough preparations.

In general, it is the same as the examination room of later generations. Before the examination, learn about the basic process, the location of the examination room, and what preparations should be made.

After coming out of Master Xun's residence, Song Mu said goodbye to several friends. Kong Zong was going to visit his father's friends, so Song Mu was the only one left to go.Song Mu planned to buy some things so that he could use them in the examination room.

Although I brought a lot of things this time, most of them are some dry food, and some snacks and sugar cakes for the examination room can be prepared.

But just after he graduated from the government, Song Mu was blocked by a person.

It was Cui Kexing, a boy from Taihe County who talked to him yesterday, and there are several people around him at this moment.

"Brother Song, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

When Cui Kexing saw Song Mu, he said with a smile on his face, and Song Mu quickly cupped his hands, and Cui Kexing immediately introduced Song Mu to the students next to him.

These boys are not talented people from Taihe County, they seem to be talented people from the prefectural school here and other places who came to take the exam. I don't know how Cui Kexing met, and they all stepped forward to say hello, Cui Kexing He also came forward and said to Song Mu.

"Brother Song, today is a coincidence. We were still talking about you just now. Why don't we find a place to sit down and let's talk about the content of the exam and the poems and songs that Brother Song is good at."

Song Mu thought about his plan to go out before, and then saw that it was still early in the sky, so he nodded at the same time.

Everyone found a teahouse not far away to sit down, eating snacks, looking at the scenery outside, and talking about things related to the college entrance examination.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, the present Prince Shaofu also served in the Ministry of Rites before, and he has passed a lot of papers for the college and township examinations, but they are all very difficult."

"Oh? I heard our county school Xuezheng also said that the questions he gave always seem to be a little bit off-topic, and people can't grasp the meaning every time."

"It's more than that. You may not know that there was an exam on poetry before, and the topic was [Yellow Flowers Like Scattered Gold]. How about you, everyone, does every sentence sound like chrysanthemums in autumn, but in the end, guess what it is? ?”

"It should be. Isn't this the 'Jiqiu Zhiyue, chrysanthemums have yellow flowers' in "Book of Rites·Moon Order"? What else could it be?"

"Then brother is right, this is rapeseed! It's spring!"

"This is from Zhang Han's "Miscellaneous Poems" and Sikong Tu's "Double Hope" in the Jin Dynasty. It is a mixture of green stripes like green, yellow flowers like gold, and green villages. .”

"What, how is this written correctly?"

Everyone exclaimed, and they seemed very interested in this matter.

Song Mu was eating snacks and looking at the scenery outside the window, Cui Kexing and several other people had already started talking, and Song Mu raised his eyebrows suddenly when he heard this.

The content of the examination of poetry and poetry has always been the most variable. After all, the meaning of the scriptures comes from at least the Four Books and Five Classics, and the policy theory comes from the current affairs. However, this poem can take questions from anything.

If the examiner is more serious, he may even quote the scriptures, but if the examiner takes a slant, then there will be all sorts of weird things.

Now it sounds like the question maker this time is a maverick.

"Brother Song, how do you deal with this situation?"

At this moment, Cui Kexing turned to Song Mu and asked, and the others also looked at Song Mu.

Song Mu took a sip of his tea and said softly at the moment.

"In fact, the answer has already been given, that is, to be able to accumulate over time and to have a comprehensive understanding of poetry."

"But if you guess the title wrong, the whole poem will not be ruined." Someone added.

Song Mu shook his head at the moment. For such a thing, the test is actually a person's daily accumulation and contact with various things, and sometimes it requires some breakthrough thinking.

These days, which literati's poems can't be smooth and rhyme, but they lack agility and thickness, and they don't understand human feelings, so they lack talent.

To make a good poem, sometimes you have to rely on more than just a momentary inspiration.

"Everyone, composing poetry is actually like carving. You have a shape in your heart before you pick up a knife. As for how to grasp the topic, in fact, the only way is to know where it comes from, and then find out the strange meaning."

Song Mu said lightly, giving a vague answer.

There was also some helplessness on everyone's faces.

Obviously they do not quite agree with this explanation.

But what Song Mu said is indeed the truth. There is no good way to deal with this situation, but to rely on daily accumulation to cope with all changes.

Cui Xing turned his eyes for a moment, then changed the topic immediately, and just said to Song Mu.

"Brother Song, what do you think of this hospital exam?"

Song Mu heard the words, but his face did not change. He blinked a few times, then shook his head with a wry smile,

"We can't guess what the adults are thinking, and Song doesn't dare to speculate."

Seeing Song Mu kick the topic away, Cui Kexing's eyes flickered even more, and he just smiled at the moment.

And a Tong Sheng next to him spoke immediately.

"Instead of talking about this, let's talk about who will win the case in this court test. Brother Cui, I think you have something to look forward to, right?"

Speaking of this topic, the expressions of the crowd suddenly became curious again. They are naturally looking forward to such a famous thing.

Cui Kexing was obviously a little overwhelmed by what everyone said, but he forcibly calmed down, and then spoke to Song Mu.

"Don't dare to take it, but it's Brother Song who can write such a good poem. This time, he must be confident in the hospital examination. This case may belong to Brother Song at that time."

Several people looked at Song Mu again, but their expressions were different, and there was some surprise in their eyes.

Apparently they all thought it was Cui Kexing's kind words.

After all, in the previous government examination, Song Mu only got 32nd place in the examination. Although the ranking is still middle-of-the-road, it is enough to show his literary talents.

Even if his poetry is quite talented in it, it is still not enough.

The three exams, the classics, and the theory are the key to help children to gather their literary strength. Although the literary spirit produced by them is not heavy, but the articles can make a person feel open and natural, which almost determines everything.

It is not enough to be stronger than one.

Therefore, in their view, the words of Cui Kexing, who has a thorough understanding of the scriptures and poetry, are just compliments.

Song Mu didn't feel it, but one of Tong Sheng thought of something at the moment, and continued talking.

"Speaking of which, there is also Xue Kaiwen from that school. I heard that he has been studying abroad for the past six months. It seems that he has also worshiped a Jinshi to assist him. Now his writing is very good."

"Indeed, this Xue Kaiwen is only in his early twenties, but he has passed the county and government examinations."

Several people muttered to themselves, but Song Mu's expression turned ugly when he saw Cui Kexing.

But when it came to this, someone once again refuted it.

"Speaking of this, have you forgotten someone?"

"Who?" Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Song Mu also looked up.

The Tong Sheng let out a deep breath, and said quite seriously.

"Zhang Yiqi from Liushui Village, Wan'an County. He was No. 2 in the exam!"

"Is that the guy who went to the exam with his mother on his back and completed all the government exam questions in three hours?"
