Red Chamber: Bring Xue Baochai home at the beginning

Chapter 24 Suddenly, Another Three Days

The first test was three-question four-book questions and metrical poems.

The four books test the understanding of Confucian classics.

The standard answers are all in Zhu Zi's "Four Books Chapters and Sentences Collection".

The only thing to worry about is stereotyped writing.

But for Feng Yibo, this part is already at his fingertips.

They always make a good draft first, and then make a draft.

The next step is to carefully consider every word and sentence, and change it over and over again a dozen times.

The final draft was transcribed stroke by stroke on the examination paper in Guange style.

The same is true for metrical poetry, where the form is greater than the content.

I don't want to be amazing, just want to express smoothly and the rhythm is not bad.

Three days passed without realizing it.

After coming out, he took a short breath and went in again.

The second test is the Five Classics and official document writing.

The Five Classics are not comprehensive.

After learning the Four Books, the teacher will guide you to understand the Five Classics.

Afterwards, one will be selected as this scripture according to your wishes and strengths.

This is similar to choosing liberal arts subjects in later generations.

And there are more options.

When taking the exam, only answer the questions about the basic scriptures.

Feng Yibo's treatment is "Book of Books", also known as "Shangshu".

The reason why I chose it as this scripture is actually because...

The competition is relatively less intense.

And the word count is the least.

Among the five classics, "Book of Songs" and "Book of Changes" are very popular.

However, "Spring and Autumn" and "Book of Rites" are relatively unpopular.

After the analysis, Feng Yibo chose this impartial "Book of Books".

Although obscure.

But in fact, as long as you study Cai Chen's "Shu Jing Ji Zhu" well.

There is also Kong Yingda's "Commentary to Shangshu".

Just fine.

Official document writing depends on specific issues.
Generally, it is nothing more than several formats such as imperial edict, judgment, table, and imperial edict.

This time, Feng Yibo answered quickly.

I even took a day off to recharge my batteries for the last game.

Repeatedly, another three days.

It's finally the last game.

This one is a five-dao policy topic, which is a bit similar to the later generations' thesis.

Most of them are views on current affairs, or understandings of governing the country.

This is the only one among the three that expresses a little bit of my point of view.

Therefore, among the three games, it was the one that tested the strength the most.

When Feng Yibo got the test paper, he was in a daze for a while.

To be precise, he was a little surprised.

There were four of the five questions, and the three of them had discussed similar topics on the boat.

This is equivalent to Feng Yibo knowing the topic in advance, and he has made sufficient preparations.

With the guidance of Jia Yucun, who has been a Jinshi for many years, he has gathered the essence of the three of them.

He only needs to list the views of the three people and select the most essential part.

Then cite classics and classics to find theoretical support for these views.

In other words, writing these four questions can surpass his own level.

What surprised him even more was not this, but the only topic that had not been discussed.

What I asked was the strategy of preparing for the Japanese.

Isn't this food delivery?
He dared to say that among the thousands of candidates in the field, he was the only one who had really suppressed Japanese pirates!

Another three days passed by in a hurry, and the examination was finally over.

After Feng Yibo came out, he rested for three days before he recovered completely.

There is no way, it is really a physical effort to try.

Fortunately, he performed better in each of the three exams.

Especially in the last game, it was an extraordinary performance.

If he still fails the exam like this, then he is really not up to the level.

"Little master, everything you asked me to prepare is ready."

Gouzi has not been idle in the past few days in his trial.

In addition to buying a few rough envoys and servants, he also took people to visit all the bustling places in the capital.

This is a necessary professional skill for a long-term follower, and it can be regarded as an early step.

No matter where Feng Yibo is going in the future, he will be able to arrange it more appropriately.

Moreover, he did not go shopping in vain, he also bought a lot of gifts.

This was all arranged by Feng Yibo long ago.

Hearing the words, he nodded and said: "Go and post the post, and follow me to visit Jia's Mansion in Rongguo in three days."

"Yes!"

…………

Rongguo Jia Mansion.

Jia Zheng has been extremely happy for the rest of the month.

He liked reading most since he was a child, and he was also a man of poetry and wine when he was young.

However, due to some reasons, he became an official of the central government, and he was despised by scholars when he entered the turbid stream.

On weekdays, he can only live the addiction of scholars with some Qing Ke Hu Chan.

But in the past few days, he has had a real addiction.

Gein's sister-in-law introduced him to a real scholar.

This is still his "nephew", and he was born as a second-class Jinshi.

His appearance is burly, and his speech is good.

Talking with him every day, Jia Zheng feels admiration.

In this regard, he has the meaning of seeing each other late.

And because of his sister-in-law's compliments, Jia Zheng tried his best to help.

In the past few days, he has written the inscription and delivered it to the court.

By the way, I also greeted my brother-in-law Wang Ziteng.

It can be said that this is one of the few times he has run for others.

Presumably there will be good news coming back soon.

Today he was having a clear talk with this nephew of the clan, and the disciple came to report.

"Report to the second master, someone came to your door and sent you a greeting card."

Jia Zhengzheng lost himself in listening, and smiled there.

Hearing the words, he took it casually, and saw that the famous post read:

Feng Yuan, a native of Jiangning County, Yingtian Prefecture, Jiangnan, paid homage.

He frowned and glanced at the door, and asked: "This man is from his hometown, what do you want to ask for when he visits me?"

"The visitor said that the master of his family is a disciple of Duke Li, the Imperial Academy of Jinling, and he wants to visit the Second Master and Grandma Zhu on behalf of his teacher in three days."

Menzi took another look at Jia's "nephew" who had stopped talking.

"In addition, he also wants to thank the old Mr. Yucun who lives in the mansion, and Miss Lin's cousin for their life-saving grace."

The benefits of accepting Gouzi are reproduced verbatim.

"It turns out that this Xie Yuan is here!"

That nephew was of course Jia Yucun, at this moment he smiled and said, "Your Majesty please forgive me."

"When we came out of Yangzhou and arrived at Gaoyou Lake..."

Simply stated the matter.

Especially after Feng Yibo heard that Daiyu was a relative of the Jia family, he shouted about the coincidence, which was quite interesting.

Jia Zheng laughed out loud, and then asked Menzi to reply:

Zheng Yu greeted him in the mansion three days later.

After Menzi left, Jia Yucun told everything about Feng Yibo again.

The name of Yifu Jieyuan aroused Jia Zheng's curiosity.

I also heard that he is both civil and military, and he was the one who wiped out the Japanese pirates who robbed the south of the Yangtze River.

Xinzheng is looking forward to it even more.

These days, there has been a major earthquake in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and there has been a lot of trouble.

How could Jia Zheng not know?
Unexpectedly, the person who suppressed the Japanese had such a relationship with his family.

It was actually his father-in-law's disciple!
His evaluation of Feng Yibo in his heart immediately rose from an ordinary junior to the level of a young hero.

Three days passed in a flash.

Early in the morning, Feng Yibo went to Rongguo Mansion with a cart full of gifts.

After the general examination, it takes one month to mark the papers before releasing the rankings.

During this period, he happened to take a rest and finish what Li Shouzhong had asked him to do.

There is.

He couldn't wait, and wanted to thank Jia Yucun and Daiyu.

Regardless of whether they have won the Jinshi or not, this time the test really borrowed their strength.
