Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Candidates from Qingyuan County came in the earliest.

Generally speaking, the order of entry for all exams is called according to the distance of the region.The closest is advanced, and the farthest is last.That's because there were some candidates who arrived at the Gongyuan at the last moment because the county where they were located was the farthest from the examination room, and there were some delays, and they almost missed the examination.

After Su Mu entered the examination room, he was annoyed.I was really unlucky these few days, first I was put under house arrest for several days by Hu Baihu for no reason, and then I got the help of Hu Jinxue, so I hurried back to Fucheng on horseback.Tired to death, he didn't lie on the bed for a few hours before getting up and rushing to the examination room. Up to now, his whole body is still sore and drowsy.

Leaving aside the physical exhaustion, the key point is that Miss Hu and Xiaodie's disturbance alarmed the magistrate.In the end, the magistrate gave himself a death order that he must get No. 1, otherwise, he would lose his name.

Is it that easy to get the first place?

Su Mu smiled wryly, thinking about it, no matter how famous and talented the famous people in history were, they would not dare to utter such wild words before the exam.The dignified Zhang Juzheng was a top-notch politician in the Ming Dynasty. When he participated in the provincial examination in Hubei, he failed once.

Wang Yangming is amazing, the master of the mind, the only one in the ages, and he only got the Jinshi after taking the exam twice.

Even the arrogant Tang Bohu could only say that he will win the test before taking part in the examination, but he dare not say that he will win the first place.Later, he was indeed hit, but he was suspected of cheating and was arrested and imprisoned.The reason is very simple, the imperial examination is so difficult, why do you say that you are in the middle of the surname Tang, there must be ghosts in it.

Su Mu's own affairs are the clearest. In terms of real ability, he can only be ranked in the top [-] among the [-] Baoding children. It doesn't matter what the style is, the key is the format, and if the format is correct, it will take the lead.

Secondly, over the past month or so, under the ear-to-mouth instructions of Mr. Shao Tai Shao, his level has also improved extremely fast.As a modern person, other skills may not be as good as the ancients, but the learning method and the ability to summarize are honed through thousands of exams, large and small. Naturally, the ancients are two avenue.

But even so, due to the limited time, he could barely pass the examination room. If he was lucky, he might pass.If one is not good, it is possible to come next year.

There are more than 1000 candidates in the current Baoding government examination, and [-] are admitted.

With Su Mu's current level, it shouldn't be difficult to get on the list, but if he wants to be number one, forget it?

Moreover, his writing level in classical Chinese is also quite good.

It's really family affairs, exams, and concern about everything. When he thinks of these, Su Mu's heart is in turmoil, and he sits in the examination room for a long time, unable to calm down.

As a large sub-provincial city, Baoding Gongyuan is very large, with three main halls and more than a dozen rows of examination sheds behind it.In such a big place, let alone one or two thousand candidates, three or five thousand more can be pretended.

This is because the former capital of Hebei Province was here. During the Tang and Song dynasties, the township examination was held here.

Now because it's just a government exam, and only one exam, Su Mu and the others don't have to be locked in a room like animals, where they can bump their heads when they stand up.

The examination room is located in three main halls, and each hall can seat 500 to [-] people.

Futons and small tables are densely arranged inside, and the lanterns illuminate the hall like daytime.Surrounded by examiners and yamen servants who were watching and strictly monitoring, the atmosphere seemed very dignified.

Su Mu's exam location was in the innermost hall, because it was still dark when he entered, and he couldn't see clearly what was written on the forehead.

He was also unlucky, he just happened to be sitting in the middle of the first row, facing the Zhifu Liu sitting at the top, and his every move fell into the eyes of others.

Seeing Su Mu sitting restlessly on the futon, Zhifu Liu couldn't help frowning.

For Su Mu, he has been famous for a long time.As a two-ranked Jinshi, the prefect attaches great importance to the culture and education of his prefecture. After seeing Su Mu's poem, he paid attention to this person.

This poem is really well written, and there is a faint trace of the openness of the Tang people, which is exactly what the contemporaries could not do.

Later, I heard that Su Mu sent [-] mu of land under his name to Qingyuan County School. How can he not be happy that such a man of public urgency and righteousness and outstanding literary talent has appeared among the people under his rule?

Then he imagined what kind of elegant and elegant person this Su Mu Su Ziqiao was.

When I saw her today, she was elegant but elegant, but romantic and romantic.

It's a good exam. You, Su Ziqiao, are coming to take the exam. You just came, why did you even bring your romantic tent with you?

It's really gentle and sweeping, it's unbearable.

"Unbearable" is already a very serious comment for scholars.

In his heart, Su Mu was classified by Zhifu Liu into the category of crazy students.Virtue is the most important thing for a country to select a scholar, and this person is no longer available.

That's why he said that if Su Mu didn't get the first place, he wouldn't take the exam.

Now, seeing the presence of the old god Su Mu, the magistrate even had a wave of evil fire: "It's true that you, Su Ziqiao, are talented, but the government test is not so easy, and you will definitely fail today!"

The government examination papers had already been printed, and soon, the papers with dark red grids were handed out.

Then there is the pasted topic paper.

Su Mu took a look and breathed a sigh of relief, knowing how to do all three questions.

One question comes from "Shangshu", one from "Spring and Autumn", and the other question is from "Book of Books".

The third question is a sentence, let the examinee write down the entire paragraph silently according to this sentence.

Although the old Su Mu had a problem with IQ, he had a good memory, and he had already memorized the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" word for word.

Therefore, these three questions have no pressure on Su Mu.

Immediately, I polished the ink, picked up the pen and wrote meticulously in the neat three-library style.

If he can't take the first place this time, it's a failure, Su Mu didn't dare to mess around, and the handwriting was honest, dignified and upright, as if it was printed on a woodblock.But dare not play with personality and show off calligraphy on the paper.

In this way, it happened that Liu Zhifu was favored.

Liu Zhifu was a veteran Jinshi who inherited the mantle of Taoism. He always only liked "The Analects of Confucius", so he was very rigid.

If Sumu used Dong Qichang's style to answer the paper today, he would certainly be amazed: This kid is really amazing and brilliant.

It may not be possible to give Su Mu a high score, at least in calligraphy, Su Mu can't even get a point.

The words in the examination room should be clear and neat, so that people can't seem to make mistakes.What are you doing with so many tricks?

……

Seeing that Su Mu's answer sheet was so honest and stable, and the style of pavilions and pavilions was written so well, Zhifu Liu only felt a cool air rising from his feet and rushing straight to the top. The impression has changed slightly: People who can write this kind of characters should not be so temperamental, or have a calm chest.Perhaps, I have some preconceived ideas about Su Mu, and I will observe and observe.
