The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

With the sound of the gong sounding at the end of the exam, the gate of the exam room slowly opened, and all the students came in step by step.

Candidates who thought they had performed well looked at the setting sun and Guiren outside the examination room, and heaved a sigh of relief.

The children's test can be counted as the end of the test!
Sheng Yuan, who returned to the mansion beautifully, still doesn't know the troubles of the parents in the mansion.

At this moment, she relaxed and rolled several times in the carriage.

He breathed a sigh of relief, laying on the couch comfortably, and sighed with Xiaoyao with his hands on his pillow: "I won't take part in this year's provincial exam. Thinking about it this way, the excitement after the exam has sublimated a lot!"

Xiaoyao fanned her, nodded cooperatively, and skillfully didn't ask her how she was doing in the exam, but just told her anecdotes outside the exam room.

But the conversation didn't last long, Sheng Yuan happily answered a few words, the upper eyelid and the lower eyelid started fighting, and after a while, the pair of eyelids quieted down without knowing which side surrendered.Also quiet was Sheng Yuan who was fast asleep.

Sheng Yuan, who rubbed his eyes and yawned, sat up until he returned to the mansion.

When she hopped and ran to the main courtyard, her sister was already sitting beside her parents' knees talking.

"Father! Mother! Sister! I'm coming back!" Sheng Yuan greeted excitedly, stuck her ass between her sister and mother, leaned on her sister with familiarity, and smiled cutely at her mother.

Sheng An: "..."

Cooperating with her is a cushion!

He poked the girl's waist with his fingers, Sheng An nodded in satisfaction, pinched her fleshy cheeks, and asked, "How did you do in the exam! Do you want to congratulate you little Sanyuan?"

"Don't worry! Don't worry! We'll talk about it after the grades!" Sheng Yuan shook her head with a smile. The words she said were considered modest on the face of them, but with her tone of voice, it was different.

She turned her head and asked Sheng An: "How did my sister do in the exam?"

Sheng An patted her head and said with a smile, "It's not satisfactory!"

Seeing that she was puzzled, he added: "I don't know much about real politics, and I haven't paid attention to the governance of a city or a county, so I can only play on paper on the spot. I don't know if it is inappropriate. It all depends on whether the examiner likes it or not." gone."

Sheng Yuan nodded when she heard this, and said to herself that my sister would not talk too much when she wanted to talk, unlike her being an honest person, so my sister's grades must not be too bad.

"Okay, I heard you chirping as soon as I entered the door. If I didn't know, I thought your sister was the only one taking the exam in our family!" Sheng Xiangxun was unhappy. After seeing his two daughters, he became much better. After a while, I was in the mood to ask my daughters specific answers.

Since Sheng An's exams are all in charge of the Imperial College, they can bypass the path and walk on the same journey. She can come back two quarters of an hour earlier than Sheng Yuan, so Sheng Yuan is the only one answering her father's question at this moment.

Sheng Yuan was also unambiguous, and explained the general outline of the five questions in one breath.

Although Sheng Xiangxun has never been to a place, but he has been an official for a long time, and he can accumulate a lot of paper experience just by reading the residence newspaper, not to mention that when colleagues and friends chat, it is always inevitable to brag about his governance Capabilities, like local governance of various situations, are examples of what they tout.

Hearing a lot of bragging, it is inevitable that he will have some insights. In addition, in order to distinguish whether it is a lie or not, he asked his teacher and cousin for advice, which increased his ability that he could not use, so that Sheng Xiangxun's theoretical governance ability has made great progress.

Just like at this moment, he has the ability to recognize whether his little daughter's answers to the questions are good enough or not.

"In the second question, there were refugees in front of the Tao and bandits in the future. What you said is 'Use the law of propriety and righteousness to order the people to serve as the army, and force the people to retreat from the bandits'."

Sheng Xiangxun heard the general idea. Although his youngest daughter refused to admit it, he still felt that the girl's words of etiquette and righteousness were not what ordinary people thought.

Of course, why did he think it was not important, as long as the little girl could convince the examiner to appreciate her.

He didn't talk about his younger daughter's answer, but just nodded and continued: "Your third question, the way to persuade students to study is to follow the example of sages and sages, and tirelessly 'persuade' them, making them feel ashamed, understand righteousness, and be ashamed. Inspired to study later?"

Sheng Yuan nodded while eating the dim sum, her big eyes blinked very rhythmically.

Seeing her eyes turning slyly, Sheng Xiangxun couldn't help laughing, and tapped her forehead lightly with a book: "I feel very noisy just seeing you write the word 'persuasion', but unfortunately the examiner doesn't know what's going on in the meantime." Mysterious, but it's okay, your method sounds mediocre, and I think it fits the views of mainstream academics."

Recently, there has been a revival trend in Shilin. Many people adore the era of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. They like to persuade and educate students with righteousness.

Sheng Xiangxun always sneered at this. Those nerds relied on being teachers and bullied the students so they couldn't resist. If they walked out of the school and met a real bastard, they might teach them a lesson.

"Very good, very good! This exam, especially before the palace exam, is not for you to show your personality!"

Sheng Xiangxun winked at his little daughter and praised her.

Then he laughed and continued: "Although you often blur the details, the method of revitalizing a county given in the fourth question is somewhat interesting."

The fourth question examines how to manage and prosper a place with a declining economy and not very favorable natural conditions.

"Use humanistic legends to boost local attractiveness, build roads through Gu Min to connect business routes, and create goods that attract merchants according to local characteristics. If literati and merchants can gather, this place will naturally be lively." Looking at his little daughter, "This idea sounds good, but there are better ideas than this one. It's just that your ability to quote scriptures and treatises by sages and holy words is rare."

Sheng Yuan held the fruit drink and shook his head triumphantly: "That's natural, I haven't forgotten to answer the questions until I think about it!"

Seeing that the little girl was about to wag her tail, Sheng Xiangxun shook her head amusedly.

"Okay, anyway, relying on your righteousness, you led the people to suppress the bandits in the fifth question. Your heroic loyalty moved the world, and made the bandits bow their heads in shame and surrender!"

Sheng Xiangxun guessed the girl's answer only after listening to the little daughter's brief description.

Sheng Yuan chuckled softly, picked up the peeled nuts from her sister, and happily chewed them.

"Sister Anthrace!" Sheng Xiangxun looked at her frowning look, pointed at her and said to his eldest daughter, dumbfounded, "Did you see that? In terms of knowledge, you are no worse than her; between you and your sister, The difference between you two is the thickness of your skin!"

Speaking of this, amidst the thoughtful nod of his eldest daughter and the dissatisfied protests of his younger daughter, he put away his smile, and rarely said seriously: "It's not shameful to speculate on the intentions of going up to the peak, to guess the examiner's likes and dislikes, and it's not a trick. , It is a manifestation of ability. They are all for the purpose of entering the temple and pursuing an official career. What is the difference between taking appropriate tricks in the examination room and studying hard in peacetime?"
