Xiu Xian: I can reincarnate in the heavens

Chapter 13 Wang Jiaoxi (for further reading)
"what?"

"Didn't you cheat? Did you memorize it?"

Wang Jiaoxi looked at Xu Xing in surprise.

He frowned, carefully examining Xu Xing's every move.

This calm look does not seem to be cheating.Just based on Xu Xing's behavior and demeanor, he believed more than half of what Xu Xing said.

In the examination room, there are many scholars with excellent memory.

It is not uncommon for people with outstanding memories to be recorded in ancient books.

For example, Wang Can, one of the seven sons of Jian'an.

"Three Kingdoms" records: "Can walk with others, read the roadside stele. Recite it by heart, without losing a single word."

Another example is Liu Kezhuang in the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Tong of the Southern Dynasty said, "Read a few lines and write them down, and you can remember everything you have seen."

Such examples abound.

Officials who can be distinguished are all good at remembering.

Even himself is like this.

He is also famous and has been a Juren for the 21st year of Tongzhi.

If he is not a Juren, he is not qualified to teach the scholars in the academy.

At least one-third of the scholars in the academy are students (scholars).

"Well……"

"So it is."

Wang Jiaoxi's anger subsided a lot, he pondered for a while and said: "I wrote two four-book questions, you answer them, if you are right, this teacher will personally apologize to you, if you are wrong, you will be expelled from the academy."

Although he believed that Xu Xing had a good memory, in terms of procedure, he still had to check the authenticity.

"Yes, sir."

Xu Xing nodded.

From time to time, Wang Jiaoxi opened the "Thirty Thousand Selections of Big Questions", found two questions from the first ten pages, wrote them on a piece of paper, and handed them to Xu Xing for him to answer.

The title of the first four books: "The master said to Yan Yuan: use it to do it, and discard it to hide it. I am the only one with you!"

The title of the second four books: "The people are enough, who is the king and what is not enough."

Both of the titles of the four books come from "The Analects of Confucius", and Wang Jiaoxi showed mercy to Xu Xing's subordinates.

Xu Xing took a deep breath, and paused for a moment with his right hand reaching for the pen holder.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant.

Just when Wang Jiaoxi couldn't hold back and asked Xu Xing why he didn't answer, Xu Xing held the pen, dipped in the ink, and wrote the words in a flowing manner.

Two eight-part essays are completed in one go.

Wang Jiaoxi didn't wait for Xu Xing to hand over the paper, so he picked up the still ink-stained answer paper and read it slowly, "The first question is to break the question with the idea of ​​'the best way for a sage to travel and store, and only for those who can do it."

"This is Han Su's No. 12 Scholar Scroll in the [-]th year of Kangxi's reign, and it is indeed verbatim."

"The second question, break the question with 'The people are richer than the lower, and the king is richer than the upper', this is the stereotype written by Wang Yu in the 11th year of Chenghua..."

He nodded as he walked.

One is to be satisfied with the test papers made by Xu Xing.

The second is to read the excellent essays written by the two ancients. Reading it is like drinking a spring of sweetness, and the whole body is refreshed. Reading it carefully, it is like rings ringing with each other, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.

After finishing reading, Professor Wang put down the test paper. He hesitated for a moment, asked Xu Xing to get up, then lifted his robe, bowed to Xu Xing solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Xian Da taught, never had anyone be a teacher like this." Those who are suspicious of their own students, please... you accept the apology of being a teacher..."

If you do something wrong, you have to admit it.

He wronged Xu Xing, an apology is inevitable.

Xu Xing hastily took a step back and walked aside, refusing to be taught this ceremony by Wang.

Not to mention Wang Jiaoxi's kindness to him, just because of his step-by-step planning from the exam to the present, he has no good intentions.Besides, he was really cheating.

It's just that Wang Jiaoxi and even the world can't find out this cheating method.

He deserves this gift.

"Of course, so you are safe with your studies and close to your teachers, happy with your friends and believe in your way. Therefore, even though you leave the teacher's assistance, you don't turn against it..."

"Xu Xing, this is the principle practiced by the academy, you don't have to refuse."

Wang Jiaoxi saw that Xu Xing refused to accept the ceremony, so he said these words seriously.

This quote comes from the "Book of Rites", which means: Only when a student gets close to his teachers will he believe in the knowledge and principles taught by the teachers, and he will be willing to be friends with them and respect the morals they respect.Even if you leave the teacher's assistance, you will not abandon the teacher's previous teachings....

"Yes, sir."

Hearing this, Xu Xing received a salute from Wang Jiaoxi, and also bowed to Wang Jiaoxi.

Returning this gift means that he has been taught by Wang Jiaoxi today.

"Go out, it's too late."

"As for your ranking... you can only rely on the imperial examination model essay for a while, you can't rely on it for a lifetime. You can pass the Fanwen County Examination and the Government Examination, and when it comes to the Taoist Examination..."

"I'll rank you in the middle. I hope you will study hard in the future and don't bury your talent."

After Wang Jiaoxi returned to his seat, he shook his head and said.

Xu Xingshili walked out of the lecturer's apartment.

When he exited, he also closed the door by the way.

"what happened?"

"Why did Teacher Wang call you here suddenly?"

Zheng Zhaifu and Chen Jian'an outside the door saw Xu Xingxing leave the apartment and asked anxiously.

Both of them had expressions of concern on their faces.

"It's about cheating."

"I'm not familiar with the Confucian classics, and what I wrote...is a model essay for "Thirty Thousand Selections on Big Topics"."

Seeing this, Xu Xing thought about his words and replied.

After the exam, Weijing Academy will post the ranking, which is called the "red list".Next to the red list, candidates' examination papers will be pasted in order according to the nouns on the list.

After a few days, his answer sheet will be made public, so there is no need to conceal it...

In addition, the reason why he chose to write the imperial examination model essay on the answer sheet was to tell the academy that he was a genius with an excellent memory.In this way, when he wins the imperial examination in the future, it will not cause too many shocks.

"If you don't make a song, you will be a blockbuster", such things are not suitable for the imperial examination.

If an unknown person is suddenly elected, everyone will be suspicious.

As for why only two model essays are filled in during the exam, instead of three.

But...too much!
"what?"

"It turned out to be such a thing?"

"No wonder... Teacher Wang is looking for you. Cheating is no small matter."

After hearing this, Chen Jianan felt relieved.

But he quickly glanced at Xu Xing suspiciously, "You were released by Wang Jiaoxi, with a relaxed expression on your face... Could it be that you have memorized the big question [-] selections?"

If it was cheating, it would be impossible for Wang Jiaoxi to let Xu Xing go so silently.

Then there is only one explanation.

Xu Xing answered the test paper based on his true ability.

"I haven't finished memorizing."

"I only memorized a few articles such as "Shang Lun", "Xia Lun", "Mencius" and "The Doctrine of the Mean". Didn't write..."

"I was lucky enough to hit the exam question."

Xu Xing replied "truthfully".

He didn't finish copying these examination books, but just copied some key points.

When a blind cat meets a dead mouse, all three articles hit each other.

"So that's how it is..."

Chen Jianan breathed a sigh of relief.

In just a few days, if he had memorized so many imperial examination model essays..., Xu Xing would be so monstrous.

Filling in the gaps, although he was still a little bit jealous, he still felt better.
