marquis of jingan

Chapter 94

The first day of the prefectural examination is to test post scriptures, the second day is essays, and the third day is policy theory. Unlike the county examination, there is a one-day interval between each examination in the county examination, while each of the three examinations in the prefectural examination is separated by two days. sky.

In other words, the entire government test will take seven days in total.

Shen Yi's answers to these three exams were fairly smooth.

Especially the third policy theory.

The topic of this policy discussion is "benevolence and righteousness".

The benevolent loves others, and the righteous follow reason.

This kind of relatively vague topic can be used as the topic of essays or as the topic of policy theory.

If it is used as a topic of policy theory, then it must be combined with current events when it is written.

This sentence is the content of the sage's book, and the gentlemen have taught it repeatedly, but when Shen Yi was reading Chen Fuzun's "Fengde Anthology" two days ago, in an article written by Chen Fuzun , have written a similar content.

But that article is an essay, not a theory.

Shen Yi didn't memorize Chen Fuzun's original text, but he can probably remember the general idea of ​​this article. Originally, according to Chen Fuzun's article, combined with some recent current events, it should be a qualified article.

But before Shen Yi wrote, he thought about the price increase of "Fengde Anthology" in Jiangdu City recently.

The price increase of Chen Fuzun's anthology meant that many people bought it.

Most of them are bought by candidates of these government examinations this year.

Scholars in this era can take the road of taking exams. Except for some wealthy and idle people who are idle and bored, all other candidates can be called academic masters. The difference is only primary school masters and university masters.

Therefore, these examinees must be able to roughly memorize what Chen Fuzun once wrote like Shen Yi, and some perverts may even memorize it verbatim.

Flattering the chief examiner is a common thing in scientific examinations, and it is also something that every candidate will do. As long as you determine the candidate for the chief examiner, even if your own cognition is very different from that of the chief examiner, you will generally follow the train of thought of the chief examiner.

So Shen Yi reckoned that this year's government examination might become a "Chen Yu imitation show".

Therefore, he changed his thinking before writing, and did not write according to Chen Yu's understanding, but tried to put forward some of his own understanding without going against Chen Yu's main idea.

Some relatively "mature" understanding.

After all, Chen Fuzun seemed to be in his early 20s when he wrote this article, but now Chen Fuzun is 35 years old.

People will grow.

It just so happened that if Shen Yi was counted according to the age of another world, he would be considered the same age as Chen Fuzun.

Ever since, Shen Yi worked hard and wrote a policy theory that was not the same as that of Chen Fuzun.

According to Shen Yi's estimate, his theory may not be very brilliant, but if there are really a bunch of "imitation shows" this year, then his article is enough to impress the examiners.

Moreover, Shen Yi is relatively confident about his own level. He believes that with his existing knowledge, at least passing the government examination will not be a big problem.

Therefore, at sunset, when the first round of gongs rang in the examination booth, Shen Yi handed in his examination papers with confidence, and was the first to leave the examination booth, ending his government examination.

With the experience of the county examination, Shen Yi calmed down a lot this time, and walked out of the examination shed calmly.

At the entrance of the examination shed, Shen Sanlang, Shen Ling and younger brother Shen Heng had been waiting at the entrance for a long time.

Shen Sanlang was still very happy, and wanted to drag Shen Yi to drink again. Facing the enthusiastic third brother, Shen Yi had no choice but to follow Shen Ling to his house and have a good drink.

That night, the two brothers slept in Shen Ling's house.

I don't know why, Shen Heng, the youngest of the Shen family's generation, although he is only 12 years old and has a relatively thin body, his drinking capacity is actually the best among the three brothers. The next morning, Shen Ling and Shen Yi were still sleeping. By then, Shen Heng had already got up early, and by the way he called Shen Yi up.

After the two brothers had breakfast, Shen Heng said goodbye to Shen Yi and went back to Ganquan Academy to study.

Since entering Ganquan Academy, little Shen Heng's enthusiasm for reading has been high, wishing he could spend twelve hours a day on books.

The reason for this is mainly because after Shen Yi finished the government examination, there is a high probability that he will leave Jiangdu temporarily and go to the capital.

The two brothers have depended on each other since they were young, and Shen Heng must be reluctant to part with his brother.

After Shen Heng left, Shen Yi also greeted his brother and sister-in-law early in the morning, then left Shen's house, wandered around the street twice, bought some food and daily necessities, turned two alleys, and came to In the small courtyard he rented for Xu Fu and others.

It was morning, and before it was time to open the stall, the six little guys were all there, and under Xu Fu's arrangement, they were preparing materials for the evening.

After seeing Shen Yi, the six little guys stood up, Xu Fu bowed his head to Shen Yi and said, "My lord."

The other five little fellows also bowed their heads and saluted, imitating Xu Fu's appearance, calling them young masters.

Shen Yi looked at Xu Fu's arm and asked, "Is the injury on your hand better?"

Xu Fu nodded and said, "Thank you, Young Master, for your concern. I don't have any problems anymore."

He raised his head to look at Shen Yi, and said in a low voice: "Young Master said last time that after the government examination, he will take me to Jiankang. I am also ready, and I can accompany you to set off at any time."

"Not in a hurry."

Shen Yi smiled, and said: "I just finished the government examination, and I will not decide whether to go to Jiankang until after the case is discovered. You can still rest at home for ten days and a half months. After ten days and a half months, you can talk about going to Jiankang." Don't go to Jiankang."

After saying this, the smile on Shen Yi's face subsided a little. He glanced at the six children and said, "Let's go to the room to talk, I have something to ask you."

The little guys nodded obediently, and followed Shen Yi into the back room. Shen Yi sat on the main seat honestly, glanced at the six children, lowered his eyebrows and said: "There is one thing, you have to tell me the truth."

Shen Yi paused, and said slowly: "Did someone tell you about the nursery rhyme?"

As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, the young Xu Fu's face changed slightly. He turned his head slowly and looked at the five "brothers and sisters" behind him.

The youngest of them, the little girl, looked dazed, not knowing what had happened.

Of the remaining four children, two of them shook their heads resolutely, and the other two children looked a little strange and opened their mouths, but they didn't dare to speak.

Xu Fu turned cold and shouted: "Master, you are dumb when you ask me?!"

Xu Fu had a very high status in this small group. If it wasn't for him in the early years, at least two or three of the remaining five little guys would starve to death. After being drunk by him like this, one of the 13-year-old little guys almost burst into tears.

He didn't dare to look at Shen Yi, but took a pitiful look at Xu Fu, and said timidly: "Brother, no one from the government asked us. Earlier, my fourth son and I were selling food at Yudai Lake. There was an uncle I bought food for two or three hundred dollars in one breath, and then my fourth child and I were busy making it for him."

"When we were making things, he would stand by and gossip with us. Wu...inadvertently asked about the nursery rhyme. It has been several months since the incident, and the fourth...accidentally slipped his mouth."

He lowered his head, a little scared.

"When I came back, I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of being scolded by you. After a few days, nothing happened, and the fourth child and I felt that everything was fine..."

Speaking of this, the little guy swallowed, looked up at Shen Yi, with a timid expression.

"Shen...Young Master Shen, we didn't say your name..."

Shen Yi sighed slightly, but did not speak.

Xu Fu didn't look at the little guy anymore, but turned his head to look at Shen Yi. Without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Shen Yi.

"Young master, I didn't manage them well, I'm sorry for you."

The young man slammed his head on the ground with a "bang", and his forehead turned red in just one click.

Almost bleeding.
