Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 185

The so-called Chengwen refers to the sample essay prepared by the examiner, or the excellent essay written by the examinee in the examination room.In Du Jinning's view, this is the model essay for teachers of later generations and the perfect score essay for students in the college entrance examination.Think about the "Full Score Composition" that every student in the future generations will have a copy of. In the ancient times when the imperial examination was the only way out, would Cheng Wen not be easy to sell?
During this period of time, Du Jinning was hanging out with Guan Lehe in the academy, because his goal was not to take the imperial examination, so his eyes were not fixed on the Four Books and Five Classics, but while completing the homework assigned by Guan Lehe, he paid attention to what he wanted to know Always prepare for the big business of making money.

During this period of time, she had inquired about the procedural texts, and found that there were some examination procedural papers circulated in the academy every year, but almost none of them were printed into books for sale in a serious manner.

The ancient scientific examination paper revision is not like the modern one, it is highly subjective, and therefore, the examiner's preference is very important.The examiner prefers a style of writing that is simple and meaningful, but you write with gorgeous words and empty content, so he will definitely not take you; on the contrary, the examiner appreciates gorgeous articles like parallel essays, but you write plain and unadorned, which is natural. Can't get into the eyes of the examiner.

Therefore, the exemplary program written by the examiner is very important.If you can find the Chengwen written by him to study, and write a style of writing that suits his preferences, the chances of passing the exam will be greatly increased.

As for the excellent essays of the candidates, it is natural for the students to know the gap between the articles they write and others, and to learn from the strengths of others and write the articles well. The exemplary role played by "Full Score Composition" is beyond doubt.

As for these Chengwen, Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan needed to use their relationship to get them, not for poor students like Du Jinning and Zhang Hongwen.

Du Jinning opened this bookstore, but still recruited Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan to join the group. He also had selfish motives.

Guan Jiaze and Qi Muyuan have been studying since they were five or six years old. Both of them have reached the point where they can take the scientific examination, so they naturally know the importance of Cheng Wen; even Zhang Hongwen, as a student in Class B, has already started to study from Cheng Wen Make a fuss.As soon as Du Jinning said this, they understood Du Jinning's approach, and their spirits were lifted up immediately.

"Don't tell me, this business is really successful." Guan Jiaze patted the table excitedly.

"But...but if we do this, will it affect the academy?" Zhang Hongwen stammered.

The reason why Boyue Academy is famous and why there are so many students who passed the exam is due to Guan Le and Cheng Wen who scoured from everywhere every year. This is the advantage of Boyue Academy.Once a few of them print out the Chengwen and sell it, so that all candidates will have a copy, won't the advantages of Boyue Academy be destroyed?Unreasonably increasing the strength of the competitors of Boyue Academy students, this must be disliked by Guan Lehe and others.

In order to make some money and sell the interests of the academy, the head of the mountain found out that he had to beat them to death.

Du Jinning looked at Guan Jiaze.

In fact, she has already tested Guan Lehe for this. Guan Lehe is not a narrow-minded person.You must know that although the students of Boyue College are compared with other students in the county during the county examination, when it comes to the government examination, township examination, and palace examination, they will compete with people from the whole province and even the whole country.As a person with long-term vision and broad-mindedness, Guan Lehe naturally hoped that as many people as possible could pass the examination in Lishui County, the better. How could it be possible to prevent other students in the county from improving their knowledge just because of a little benefit from the academy?
But it's hard for her to say these words.Guan Jiaze's relationship with Guan Lehe's uncle and nephew is closer than that of her master and apprentice, so it's better to say these words from Guan Jiaze's mouth.

When Zhang Hongwen mentioned this, Guan Jiaze hesitated, and said, "I'll go back and ask my uncle first."

Du Jinning nodded: "You can tell the head of the mountain, let's buy those Cheng Wen with money, one for the examinee, one tael of silver for the examiner, and see if the head of the mountain is willing."

"This, this...how can this be done?" Hearing these words, Zhang Hongwen couldn't help but feel terrified.

Isn't it courting death to talk about money with a gentleman like Shan Zhang, who is highly respected and full of knowledge?Besides, selling the examiner's essays for money, is this... really good?
Du Jinning glanced at him, silently putting on a dignified expression: "The academy is very short of money now. Some time ago, I heard from the head of the mountain and the others that they need to find someone to raise donations to repair the teaching dormitory."

"..."

It turns out that the gentlemen are not just beautiful and unrestrained.Are they also worried about money?

Zhang Hongwen's simple world view has collapsed.

"Yes, I heard from my uncle that there was a lack of money to raise donations." Guan Jiaze affirmed Du Jinning's news.

He looked at Du Jinning: "I'll go back and ask my uncle about Cheng Wen in a while, and I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

"Okay." Du Jinning looked at Zhuang Yue, "Then please shopkeeper Zhuang, please pay attention to whether there are shops for rent nearby."

"That's no problem." Zhuang Yue said, "But the villain is in charge of three teahouses, and the bookstore is probably too busy. I heard shopkeeper Cui said that he has a friend who is the shopkeeper and wants to find a new owner. Why don't you, Young Master Du?" Go ask this person?"

"Okay." Du Jinning nodded, and logically grabbed the position of the shopkeeper of the bookstore into the palm of his hand.

If you don't ask about Cheng Wen's matter, it's not easy to discuss the matter of the bookstore's shares. Qi Muyuan avoided this topic, looked at Du Jinning and asked: "Tomorrow you will officially enter the academy to take classes? Did the head of the mountain tell you?" , which class will you be admitted to?"

Guan Jiaze became interested all of a sudden, and asked, "Can you come to Class A? Qi Muyuan and I are here, so you should have a companion."

Zhang Hongwen didn't dare to compete with Guan Jiaze and Qi Mu, but still hoped that Du Jinning would be his companion, so he boldly interjected weakly: "There is me in Class B, too."

"The head of the mountain said that I am still young and my foundation is not stable. Let me advance to Class B." Du Jinning said.

In fact, she said that "you are still young and your foundation is not stable" so that you can not go to Class A.You know, everyone in Class A can pass the science test.If she entered Class A and performed better, wouldn't she be rushed to the examination room by Guan Lehe soon?
She still wants to hang out in men's clothes for a few more years, and live a few years of leisure.Women in this era are too unfree, it's better to be a man.Besides, she is still young and doesn't have much money.If she escaped to death, Chen would be reluctant, and it would be difficult for her to make follow-up arrangements.

Hang around in the academy for another two or three years, let's talk about it after she has saved enough money.

Zhang Hongwen laughed all of a sudden: "That's great."

Guan Jiaze was a little frustrated: "You should learn quickly, so that you can go to the scientific examination with us."

Du Jinning glanced at him: "I want to be with you, you don't have to be the chief case."

"..." What a knowing blow!
