Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 262
After walking half a circle carefully from the corridor, Du Jinning came to the gate.County magistrate Liu sat on the steps of the gate, and he could see all the movements in the yard.Just now there was a commotion in the corridor to his left, and he knew that someone had handed in the paper, but he didn't expect it to be Du Jinning.

He was taken aback and asked, "Are you..."

Du Jinning took out two test papers from the test paper bag and held them up with both hands respectfully: "My lord, students hand in the papers."

Candidates left their seats and came here, naturally to hand in the papers, and County Magistrate Liu's question was just a fluke.At this time, when he heard that he was here to hand in the paper, he felt a little regretful when he took the paper.

He had read Du Jinning's first paper and answered it very well.He is young but has solid basic skills. Even if he doesn't do well in the second test paper, he will still get it.After all, such a person has a promising future.He won Du Jinning, and later Du Jinning became a Jinshi and became an official, so he also has a passion for incense.

Five or six hundred test papers need to be read and corrected in three or four days. All the county magistrates who participated in the invigilation and marking of the test papers will not correct every question like those teachers in later generations, and then count the scores, and admit them from top to bottom according to the scores .The focus of their marking will be on the first test paper.

If you don't even answer the first volume well, you don't need to read the second volume.After all, if you are not familiar with the most basic Four Books and Five Classics, you will naturally not have any outstanding performance in the following Moyi and Jingyi questions.Nowadays, there is a trend of intercepting questions in government examinations. If you are not familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, if you go to take the government examination, you will not even be able to understand the questions, let alone solve the questions.Letting such a person pass the county test and take the government test would be a waste of the county test quota.

So just now, after only a few glances at Du Jinning's first volume, County Magistrate Liu has already decided in his heart that as long as the second volume of this kid is not dirty, he will take him directly.

It's just a pity now.

He didn't think that Du Jinning had finished all the test questions when he came to hand in the paper now.After all, the second test paper is not only difficult, but also takes longer.Those four arithmetic problems would take a long time even for someone with a Jinshi background like him to figure them out. At Du Jinning's young age, it is impossible to figure them out in such a short time.

As for not directly leaving the topic blank there, and then handing in the paper in advance, this kind of situation almost never happens.After all, this is a major event related to the future of his life, and he bears all the hopes of his family. If he doesn't finish all the questions and stay up until dark, these people will never hand in the paper.At least, not so early.

So now that Du Jinning handed in the test paper ahead of schedule, the only explanation is that his second test paper was dirty.

Feeling regretful, magistrate Liu opened Du Jinning's test paper, glanced at the first one, then put it aside, revealing the second test paper.

"Huh." Looking at it this way, I saw that it was full of words, and there was not a single stain on it.

Not only is there no dirt, but none of the questions is empty.

County magistrate Liu looked at Du Jinning in surprise, and saw that he was still standing there upright as before, his eyes slightly lowered, his expression calm, and his attitude calm and respectful.

He suppressed the shock in his heart and read the second volume intently.

I think the county magistrate who came up with the question planned to assess the content from shallow to deep.The first question of Mo Yi comes from "The Analects of Confucius", the second question is a little more difficult than the first question, and a passage is selected from "The Doctrine of the Mean"; the third question is a controversial passage in "University", which requires two books The commentary is used to explain, and this question is considered the most difficult among Moyi's questions.But Du Jinning answered very accurately.

Magistrate Liu couldn't help but raised his eyes and glanced at Du Jinning.After thinking for a while, he asked Du Jinning a question that did not appear on the test paper with great interest: "Yu Shun is humble, he is a commoner, so he is humble. Ji Ye. Try to govern the difficult things of the people. Difficult, but Danfan. Write "Shun Dian". What's the solution?"

Du Jinning knew that County Magistrate Liu was interested in the answers to his Mo Yi questions, and now he wanted to test himself, so he cupped his hands and replied: "Yu Shun lives in a humble place, and he is humble. He succeeded himself as the emperor, tried all kinds of difficult things, and described the events in history, pretending to be "Shun Dian".

This year, she did not follow the learning progress of Class B or Class A, but spent a lot of time and energy on the books in Zangshuge.She has the gift of photographic memory and the ability to accumulate and understand all kinds of knowledge in later generations. The collection of books in the library of this era is not comparable to that of the library in later generations. The library of a small county academy , it is only three or four hundred books.It took her a year to read all these books, and she has a general understanding of the knowledge of this era.

Although there are many annotations to the Four Books and Five Classics, they are very confusing, and there are still many mistakes in the understanding of the meanings of the scriptures. They are not as comprehensive as the "Thirteen Classics Annotations" edited and engraved by Ruan Yuan in the Qing Dynasty.So for this exam, her answers basically used the commentaries in the "Thirteen Classics" to deal with the Moyi questions.

"Ninth Day: Don't use Qianlong. Why?" County Magistrate Liu asked again.

"It is the first place, so it is called 'Chu'; because of its yang line, it is called 'Nine'. The latent is the name of concealment; the dragon is the thing of change. It is said that the natural energy of heaven arises from the moon of Jianzi. , the yin qi begins to flourish, and the yang qi hides underground, so it is said that "the ninth day of the ninth day of Qianlong". It should only be hidden, not used, so it is said 'do not use'."

There were a few test papers that were stained by the rain. When Du Jinning got up to hand in the papers, he also gave up the exam and prepared to hand in the papers. They all went to the county magistrate together.Hearing these two lines of dialogue, everyone was taken aback and looked at Du Jinning.

Could it be that this boy handed in the papers after finishing all the papers, not because the papers were dirty?Moreover, the test paper is also done very well?

Because of the tight schedule for correcting papers, many county magistrates would correct them on the spot when someone handed in the papers ahead of time.Sometimes you feel that you have done a good job, and you will say "go back and prepare for the government test", which means that you have no problem in the county test.And some test papers are particularly well done, or there are certain doubts, he will test you on the spot if he has time.Anyway, as long as the county magistrate can take the school exam, as long as the answer is correct, the county exam will be passed steadily, and there is a high chance of being in the top ten.

This young man seemed to be only twelve or thirteen years old, but he finished the paper so quickly, and he was able to ask the county magistrate to take the exam. It can be seen that he did a good job on the paper.
