Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Although the results of the last test, or the next two tests, are just a reference, Su Mu knew in his heart that his stereotyped essay was only average or even low among all candidates.If you don't copy the champion essays of later generations, you can't compete with the scholars who have been pondering on it for a lifetime.

Therefore, unlike other outstanding candidates who stood out early in the first round, he could only write honestly, hoping to get some points back in the next two rounds.

Still in accordance with the previous rules, an outline was drawn up on the draft for all the topics, and then a detailed outline was written according to the outline, and then filled in bit by bit according to the outline of the outline.

According to his current speed, he can only deal with one article in an hour, which is not counting the time for transcription.

Time passed slowly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye, and Su Mu finished the draft of the first question.

He took a deep breath and started to write the second question in no hurry to copy or eat.

He didn't want to think about such things as time, and he didn't dare to think about it. Three days should be enough.

According to Su Mu's plan, in the last three days, the drafts of the three questions were written on the first day, and the remaining two questions were written on the second day.On the last day, I revised in the morning and transcribed in the afternoon.

According to this rhythm, and my state in the morning, it is just right.

But after eating lunch indiscriminately, the second question did not go well.It's not because I don't know how to write, or the words don't convey the meaning.

Just like yesterday's topic, Su Mu's condition is still quite good, and the writing of the article is extremely smooth.

But for some reason, he always felt that something was not well written, and he suspected that such writing did not meet the appearance of the exam.

When the inner demon struck, he had great doubts about himself, so Su Mu revised the draft over and over again, and couldn't finalize the draft.

This tossing lasted until the evening, and every time there was a burst of panic in my heart.

At the same time, in the Supreme Court, the table-turning judging papers finally reached the final stage.

After getting the examination paper transferred to him, Yang Tinghe found that he couldn't wait any longer.

Even though he was sure that Su Mu's paper was among the last one hundred papers, he was still very careful when reading the paper just now.

Once I encountered that kind of paper with outstanding literary talent, I kept an eye on it and read it several times.As long as there is a trace of Su Mu's stereotyped essay in it, it will not be used.

In this way, five papers were brushed down nitpickingly.

Seeing that the great master had passed down so many papers he had selected, and they were all excellent essays, the deputy chief examiner named Daohua was a little unhappy, and couldn't help asking.

But Yang Tinghe said: frivolous writing is not the style of a gentleman, so it cannot be used.

Deal with it.

But this is the power of the chief examiner, and it makes sense in theory, so I can only endure it.

After getting the last stack of papers, Yang Tinghe still read them seriously this time. After weeding out four candidates who showed off their writing skills, it was finally the last few papers and found the person who was praised by the two chief examiners. .

No matter what prejudice Yang Tinghe had towards Su Mu, he took a look at it right away.

I just feel that his articles are so beautiful and timeless, they are written so smoothly that it is easy to read them.

To be honest, stereotyped essays have strict requirements on the format due to the limitation of the subject matter, and ordinary people are inevitably constrained in writing, and the form is greater than the content.Excessive attention will lead to boring, which makes people read suddenly.

But the master among them can move and maneuver between square inches, with a kind of hidden beauty of words, just like dancing in shackles.

I have to admit that this person has grasped the essence of contemporary writing. Although there may not be something eye-catching in the righteousness and charm of the article, the beauty of this kind of writing is very terrible.

This scroll must be the work of Su Mu!

A voice came out uncontrollably in Yang Tinghe's heart.

Even though I love this article so much, I decided to brush it down desperately.But before starting, Yang Tinghe was still reluctant to end it like this, as if being led by an invisible hand, his eyes fell on the second question, still graceful and moving.

Now, he read very slowly and took a long time to finish.

Then the third question, the fourth question... until the end of the reading.

"This man's writing style is really..." If Yang Tinghe was a modern person, he would definitely use the word "defying the sky" to describe it.

He is also a scholar of two ranks, and he is a figure in the vanguard of scholarly circles.I know thousands of people, and all the people I come and go with are talented for a while.Leaving aside the depth of education and talent, in terms of writing skills alone, among the younger generation, only his own son Yang Shen can compare with it.

However, the son's writing is thick and majestic, but this person is graceful and beautiful, each with different characteristics.

"Small Su Mu, I finally found you."

In his heart, he had already decided that this was Su Mu's paper, so Yang Tinghe felt a little more fear of this person: he was able to bring out a feature in his article to the extreme, but it was also very terrifying in terms of his will, the writing was like a man!

The sky was getting dark, Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, and saw the other deputy chief examiners standing beside him, looked over with eager eyes, and asked at the same time: "How is it?"

It took a day and a night to turn the table, but none of the three felt tired.

Judging from the meaning of these two assistant examiners, it is intentional to choose this paper as the grassroots.

Yang Tinghe just woke up, looked at the paper in his hand, and suddenly hesitated: "It's really a good job, it's a pity to be eliminated."

However, when he thought of Su Mu and the prince together, his heart twitched.This person is scheming, and a mere little scholar knows how to use means to get close to the prince, so he is definitely not a gentleman.If he wins the Juren and has the qualifications to be an official, after the crown prince succeeds in the future, he will definitely be an official in the court.With his means and heart, can he not make trouble?

However, just eliminating him like this is not what a gentleman would do.

However, the imperial examination is to promote talents for the country. If this person is bad, no matter how good the article is, he will not be used.

After reading this, Yang Tinghe became firmer, picked up the paper, and gently threw it aside: "Optional."

"what?"

"how is this possible?"

The two shouted at the same time: "Examiner Yang, think twice!"

Think twice, let alone think twice, Yang Tinghe has been deliberating for a few days even if he is thinking a thousand times, and at this moment his will has become firmer.

He only said coldly: "Alternative, this is my opinion."

At this time, the deputy chief examiner named Dao Hua immediately became angry, and asked in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, let me ask Mr. Yang, is there anything wrong with this paper?"

This has been said very rudely.
