Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 308 Consecutive Four Volumes (Fifth Watch)
The Mo Yi paper was handed in less than half an hour after the start of the exam. Zhang Zhe's actions shocked all the candidates and invigilators.

Even Zhou Zhiyi, the chief examiner.

He couldn't help touching his beard, and had a little self-question: Is it really too easy for the old man to come up with a question?

It's a pity that the exam rules are extremely strict, and no one will see Zhang Zhe's papers before the exam is over.

Zhang Zhe thought about it all morning, but he couldn't figure out the answer he wanted to know.

No matter what, he picked up the second test question.From the second to the last test paper, they are all essay test papers.Even before the exam, the chief examiner said without hesitation that he would rely on moral articles.

What is an Ethical Article?

Moral articles are not the kind of articles that flatter people, restrict people's desires, and make people drowsy after reading. On the contrary, they are articles that describe a certain state of mind and advocate a certain spirit.

"There is a saying in "Family Language": Zhilan is born in a deep valley, and it is not self-sufficient because of no one. Orchids are like gentlemen, so I know my son loves orchids, and I try to take one of the flowers to describe my love. The characters range from 120 to 360."

The meaning of this title is: "Confucius's Family Language" says that Zhilan grows in deep empty valleys, and will not lose its fragrance because no one watches it.So orchids are like gentlemen, loved by Confucius.Please use one of Hundred Flowers to explain your favorite spirit, and the number of words should be between 120 and 360 words.

This is a piece of essay writing, which requires objects to express emotions.

Spreading out the manuscript paper, Zhang Zhe immediately wrote down a title "Speaking of Ailian".Thanks to the Chinese teacher's experience of studying abroad forcibly reciting after class, coupled with his increasingly outstanding memory, he still remembers this essay clearly.

"Flowers of plants and trees on land and water are so lovely. Jin Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone. Since Li Tang, the world loves peonies very much. Yu Du loves lotus, which emerges from the mud without being stained, cleans the ripples without being demonic, and connects the middle and the outside straight. No vines or branches, the fragrance is far away and clear, and the pavilions are clean and planted, which can be seen from a distance but not played with. Yu said that the chrysanthemum is the hermit of flowers; the peony is the rich and noble of flowers; the lotus is the gentleman of flowers. The love of chrysanthemums is seldom heard of by Empress Tao. The love of lotus, who is the same as the giver? The love of peony is suitable for everyone!"

Among them, only the word "Li Tang" in "From Li Tanglai" needs to be changed, because it is also the consensus of the world that peony is the queen of flowers.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Zhe wrote "Jiliang" in the place where the word "Li Tang" was deliberately vacated. This is the name of the previous dynasty, and there is no taboo.

He counted the numbers again, except that the title was exactly 120 words, only two words more than the minimum requirement.

After neatly transcribing "Ai Lian Shuo" on the test paper, Zhang Zhe counted the words again.Two more words, yes.

Suddenly, Zhang Zhe's left hand caught his right hand.

The injustice he felt on the Moyi scroll just now, coupled with the faint sighs and weeping sounds from the examination room, gave Zhang Zhe the impulse to write "two more characters for those who have poor books" on the examination paper. One sentence to satirize the examiner.

When he thought that a talented and learned person like Jiang Xiaodi would have lost the opportunity to succeed because of family poverty and cultural barriers, if not for his previous encounters, the anger in his heart had been hard to dissipate.

Zhang Zhe controlled his impulse, rang the examination case, and summoned the civil servants.

"carry out an assignment!"

If he didn't hand in the test paper again, Zhang Zhe was afraid that he would not be able to really write down that sentence.

But he didn't see the astonishment on the official's face.The civil servant had known Zhang Xinzhi's name for a long time, so he deliberately wandered around near his examination number.

From the time Zhang Zhe picked up the second examination paper to the time he finished copying it, it only took half an hour.And all this fell into the eyes of the official.

Zhang Xinzhi is really terrifying!
It's a pity that the test papers have to be put into a special sealed bag, and this civil servant can't read Zhang Xinzhi's good articles in advance.

"Damn it!" Zhang Zhe handed in the paper early for the second time, causing a sensation again.Because at this moment, the test has only started for half a day.However, the candidate for the Guozijian, surnamed Chen, who was sitting not far from Zhang Zhe, cursed secretly in his heart, this Zhang Xinzhi was too grandstanding, but what did he think of the majestic imperial court's talent show ceremony?
Zhang Zhe put aside his emotions and was reading the third paper.The beginning of this topic is still from "Confucius's Family Language".

There is a saying in "Family Language": Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids. If you don't smell its fragrance for a long time, you will become with them.Nowadays, all living beings like to spend extravagantly on mansions, chasing them with the stink of copper. I don't know how a gentleman lives, how?Try to put it in words.Words eighty to 160.

The meaning of the title is: Confucius said again, living with a kind and noble person is like living in a room full of orchid fragrance. After a long time, you will not be able to smell the fragrance of the other person, because you have been attracted by him. Assimilated.Today's young people like to spend too much to build extravagant and tall residences, like to chase the taste of money, and no longer know what a real gentleman's residence should look like.Write a short essay on this topic, between 160 and [-] words.

A sneer suddenly appeared on Zhang Zhe's face.

He could remember that there were rumors a few days ago that the master examiner was quite critical of Zhang Xinzhi winning 10,000+ guan by betting on Wen Zhan.

Although this topic was drawn up in advance, Zhou Zhiyi blamed himself on this point a few days ago, so this article is actually scolding Zhang Xinzhi, and all the candidates in the room had to scold him.

Hehehehe, the sneer in his heart almost burst into laughter.

Grab a piece of draft paper casually, and start to write like a dragon.

Good article, some have it!Zhang Xinzhi, I want to make a decision on this meeting of this subject!
"If the mountain is not high, there will be a name if there are immortals. If the water is not deep, there will be dragons. This is a shabby room, but my virtue is sweet. The moss marks are green, and the grass is green. Talking and laughing have great scholars, and there are no white people. It can be adjusted. Suqin, read the golden scriptures. There is no messy ear of silk and bamboo, no labor shape of case. Zhuge Liang in Nanyang, Ziyun Pavilion in Xishu. Confucius said: "Why is there such a thing?"

Count it, it’s exactly 81 characters, let’s spare you one more word!

Transcribed, knocked on the chopping board, and handed in the paper!
This time, four or five clerks came over, and they all watched in shock as Zhang Zhe packed the sealed bag by himself, and handed in another volume.How long has it been since I handed in the paper last time?
The clerk before that weakly stretched out a finger, and said in a harsh voice, "From drafting to transcribing, it's a hundred breaths!"

Several clerks looked at each other, and were about to walk away with the sealed bag, but someone found that Zhang Zhe started to write vigorously again, and they all stopped for a while.

Zhang Xinzhi is writing the fourth volume rapidly!

Several clerks looked at each other in blank dismay, and asked, has this person ever examined the questions?Is there really no need to think about it?
The title of the fourth volume is very interesting.

Zi Chang studied under Lao Tzu, and now he is a Confucianist, and Dao is an outsider, one of his literary theories.The characters are five hundred to seven hundred.

The meaning of the title: Confucius used to study with Taoist Laozi, but now Confucianism governs the world, while Taoism has become an outsider. Try to express one of the truths you have learned from this story in an article. The number of words is Between five hundred and seven hundred words.

In modern times, this is a material composition.And more than five hundred words, with the conciseness of ancient prose, this is already considered a long prose.Ordinary scientific research personnel can't figure it out without spending a whole day.

But Zhang Zhe was writing like flying on the manuscript paper.

The five clerks watched helplessly as he continued to write without changing a single word.After a while, as soon as the letter put down the pen, it began to count.

"Nine characters of 540, whatever!" Seeing the letter, he chuckled, picked up his pen and began to copy it.This is really not easy to say! ?

A quarter of an hour later, another sealing bag was used.

It's only been two hours since the exam started, and Zhang Xinzhi has one last strategy left!
In the examiner's room, the gray-haired Zhou Zhiyi couldn't help shaking his head and sighing.This son is either giving up on himself because of the insinuating title, or he is demonstrating to him.

Zhou Zhiyi smiled smugly, what he wanted was for Zhang Xinzhi to get angry.

"Let me see, old man, how far you can put your talent and learning to use despite all your scruples?"
