Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 400 Science and Psychology

"Master, master..." A figure rushed over, but it was Jiang Bei.

"Master, are you coming out? I'll help you over there. Shopkeeper Yao and Uncle Wang are over there." Jiang Bei pointed in one direction.

But before Du Jinning could step forward, Yao Shuqi also came over.Yao Shuqi stepped forward to support Du Jinning and said, "Master, you have worked hard. I asked Wang Fulai to drive here, let's get in the car."

Du Jinning was actually not tired, let alone to the point where he couldn't walk.She punches several times every morning now, and her body is much stronger than before.Coupled with eating well and sleeping well, apart from my body becoming a little stiff after sitting for three days, there is no discomfort at all.

But she was still supported by Yao Shuqi, and got into Wang Fulai's carriage.

"Master, where are you going?" Yao Shuqi asked.

Du Jinning thought for a while and said, "Go back to the courtyard."

Before the college examination, Qi Bokun also came to Fucheng and lived in Qi Mansion.Although he is also very kind to Du Jinning and has always allowed her to live with peace of mind, Du Jinning still feels that he is no longer as comfortable as before.

Now she just wants to go back to take a shower and have a good sleep, and she doesn't want to go to the Qi Mansion to socialize.

Furthermore, there will be a re-examination in a few days, and it will be troublesome to move around.

With Yao Shuqi around, everything is in order.Hot water had already been boiled in the small courtyard, meals were cooked, and they were waiting for Du Jinning to come back.

Although Wang Fulai and Jiang Bei both live in this yard now, Du Jinning is used to pretending to be a man, so he doesn't feel particularly inconvenient.She asked Jiangbei to bring the hot water to her room, fastened the door and hid behind the screen, took a good bath and washed her head, then handed the dirty clothes to the cook when she came out, and fell asleep after eating.

The Gongyuan side is busy at this moment.After the test papers were sealed one by one, the test papers were transported to the transcription office by the officers and soldiers, and a group of people transcribed them. This was to prevent the examiners from recognizing some handwriting fraud, and at the same time directly discard some dirty test papers.After transcribing, the original test papers were sealed, and the transcribed test papers were transferred to the test-receiving office and handed over to the marking officer.

Naturally, Lu Jiuyuan was not the only one who checked the papers, but also the two friends he brought with him.The three of them read first, discarded some low-level test papers, and selected articles that were fluent, meaningful, and of a certain level, and then cross-checked.

The final admission quota for this year's college examination is 50 people, and the first exam will be a multiple of 50 people, that is, 100 people will be taken.Take one hundred out of one thousand, and ninety percent of the test papers will be discarded.Therefore, they also adopt the quick marking method, and read the first article directly. If the first article is not eye-catching, they don’t need to read it later, and throw it directly into the pile of papers.

The three of them read a thousand test papers, but only got [-] test papers.Each paper only reads one question, and in addition, the three of them have enough food and sleep to mark the papers. One night plus one day, it is estimated that the marking work will be basically completed by the next night.

The three carefully checked the test papers, and sometimes they saw good articles, although Lie Xin was happy to see them, but in order not to disturb others, they just wrote "to get the best" on the test papers and did not dare to speak out.

But at this moment, Peng Shicheng, one of the reviewers, saw an article and couldn't help it. He clapped the table and shouted: "Good article, good article." He stood up and walked a few steps in the room, "Written well. That's great."

The other two raised their heads and looked at him.

Lu Jiuyuan is the head of the mountain, but Peng Shicheng and Shi Xiu are not the masters in his academy, but two old friends with the same reputation as him.The three of them were equally knowledgeable and like-minded, so Lu Jiuyuan invited them to be the examiners.

Seeing the appearance of their always prudent old friend now, Lu Jiuyuan and Shi Xiu became curious and asked, "What article made you like this?"

They also saw a few good articles, which were really wonderful, but not so wonderful that they were overjoyed.After all, this is only a college examination, not a provincial or general examination. The level of candidates is limited. Even if the words and structure of the article are clever, and they have some opinions of their own, they are still not deep enough.

Peng Shicheng handed the test paper to Lu Jiuyuan: "Look, look." Seeing Lu Jiuyuan took the test paper, he sighed again, "Oh, I don't know who wrote this article, I want to see him later Just do it."

Shi Xiu couldn't bear what he said, so he simply got up and went to Lu Jiuyuan's side, and watched him together.

I saw the words above: "A confidant is what Mencius called 'the heart of right and wrong, everyone has it'. The heart of right and wrong can be known without worrying..."

"Hey, it's interesting." Shi Xiu couldn't help but stroked his beard and continued to look down.

"Knowledge is the essence of the heart, and the heart will know it naturally. When you see your father, you will know filial piety. When you see your brother, you will know your brother. When you see a child in a well, you will know compassion.

This time, Shi Xiu didn't feel any more emotion, he read the whole article with holding his breath, and then he stood and sat with Lu Jiuyuan, staring at the test paper, without saying a word for a long time.

Peng Shicheng said proudly, "How?"

"Good article, it is indeed a good article." Shi Xiu let out a heavy breath, feeling very refreshed for a moment.

The three of them are like-minded friends, and they advocate the same philosophy.

Now there is a kind of Taoism popular in the society, which believes that "conscience comes from heaven, so it can be seen from the heart", and emphasizes that "reason" is above all else.

But Lu Jiuyuan and the others disagree with this view. They think that the heart is the master of everything in the universe.It's just that their cognition is still in a haze, as if covered by a veil, unable to refute with clear theories and put forward their own claims.

But this article says: Conscience is the essence of the mind, and neither good nor evil is a mind that is not covered by selfishness and material desires, which is the law of heaven.In the undeveloped state, there is neither good nor evil; but when people generate ideas and add this idea to things, this idea has likes and dislikes.The difference between good and evil lies in "already sent".

For example, filial piety is not filial piety if you have this idea in your heart, it must be reflected in your actual actions, and in the process of filial piety to your parents, provide proper care and make your parents comfortable and satisfied, this is filial piety.This is the function of the original mind, and everything is in the original mind.

This article is like lifting the veil that was covered in front of their eyes, making their theories clear at once, like a ray of light, making their eyes suddenly open.

This kind of theory really touched their itches, and it expressed something that was stuffed in their hearts but could not be expressed in clear words, which made them feel hearty.

"Let's read the next article." He said to Lu Jiuyuan.

Lu Jiuyuan was already watching.Hearing this, he moved the test paper over.

Peng Shicheng only read the first article just now, and didn't read the rest, so he also came over at this time, and the three gray-haired heads suddenly squeezed together.

　How to write the college exam, I thought for a long time, and finally decided not to write the plot of abuse of scum, repeating the plot like the government exam is meaningless, but to take this opportunity to let the heroine put forward her own philosophical theory to pave the way for the following chapters.If she wants to gain a higher status in society, it is not enough to just make contributions in agriculture. After all, the credit has to be assessed by the ruler.But putting forward one's own ideas in literature, gaining the approval of all scholars, and becoming a philosophical master of a generation is the highest state of status acquisition.
