Chapter 103 The 103 College Examination Is Over
This time, Wei Guangde finally broke a tradition he had always maintained, that is, handing in the paper in advance.
This time, Wei Guangde waited until the examination room was closed and the papers were collected before handing the answer sheet to the examiner, and then walked out of the Nanchang Imperial Academy with most of the students.
The reason why he was delayed for so long this time was because the college examination was too important, and it was related to whether he could achieve a small goal in his father's mind: not to make 100 million first, but to pass the examination to become a scholar.
The questions in the previous prefectural examination were difficult enough, and they were cut and connected.
But at that time, he felt that he was afraid that he had no chance, so after figuring out how to write, he started writing directly.
After writing essays for more than a year, he still had a little bit of writing skills.
After completing the article, he checked it twice and copied it on the answer sheet, which was considered to have completed the exam, and then handed in the paper in advance without waiting for the time.
When it came to this academy exam, although he was still thinking that he must be blessed by God and that he had an extremely strong belief that he would pass the imperial examination, he was much more careful when actually answering questions than the provincial exam.
After finishing the essay, he pondered it over and over again and made some revisions before he was satisfied.
He checked the essay again and copied the first question onto the answer sheet first, but did not copy the second essay immediately. Instead, he pondered over it word by word, so he did not copy the essay onto the answer sheet until the last officer began to remind him that the papers were about to be collected.
After leaving the gate of the Imperial Academy, he soon saw his cousin Wu Dong and Zeng Yuanrui standing and waiting by the ancient stone archway by the gate in the crowd, but he did not see Zeng Yuanshu, so he should still be behind him.
This was what they had agreed with Wu Dong and the others before taking the exam. After all, there were many people taking the exam, and if they did not tell them the place in advance, they would be afraid of missing it when there were too many people.
"Why did you come out now?"
When Wei Guangde walked in front of his cousin, he heard Wu Dong say this.
While Wei Guangde was stunned, he heard Wu Dong's next words, "I thought you would hand in your paper early again, so I came here with Yuanrui in the afternoon, but we have been waiting until now."
"Is the test question difficult this time? We didn't see many candidates handing in their papers early."
Zeng Yuanrui interrupted at this time.
"Yes, a little bit."
Wei Guangde then told them about the exam question.
"The first question was okay, but the second question was cut off in half, which was really a bit difficult to write."
Wu Dong heard that there were only two questions in the college exam, and then thought about the questions, and then he understood that the second question was probably difficult for most candidates.
It is said that there are only so many words in the Four Books, but how do you know what questions the chief examiner will ask?
Using a short sentence, or a long sentence, or cutting off the question or connecting the question, it really makes the candidates defenseless.
The three of them waited for a while on the roadside. From time to time, they saw familiar candidates passing by. Shao Budi once again bowed and exchanged a few words.
Most of the attention of the crowd fell on Wei Guangde. After all, he was only thirteen years old and still a child. He was able to pass the college entrance examination and participate in the re-examination. Therefore, everyone was very curious about his composition and asked how he answered the test questions this time. Even when Zeng Yuanshu came out to meet them, everyone's curiosity remained.
At this time, there was nothing to hide. Wei Guangde told them his solution in detail.
Everyone understood the solution of the first question. In fact, their compositions were similar. After all, there were only a few techniques.
Eight-part essays have been done until now. Someone has already summarized the writing skills. Everyone has similar views on many things. So if you know the solution, it doesn't matter if you don't say the rest. Just write it down in the same vein.
For the second question, a few scholars nodded and said it was wonderful, and some bowed their heads in thought. But no one said that this solution was not good.
Seeing such a reaction, Wei Guangde knew that the article he wrote this time might really have a chance to let him pass the college entrance examination smoothly.
Tianjuan.
Thinking of this, Wei Guangde couldn't help but feel a little complacent.
"Okay, okay, it's getting late, I'm hungry, let's go eat and drink, and we're tired all day."
At this time, Lao Kan came back to his senses from his previous contemplation and said to everyone with a smile.
"That's right, that's right."
Everyone stood here for a long time, and now they all felt a little hungry after Lao Kan said that.
When they returned to the inn, Wei Guangde still asked the store to prepare hot water, and washed it off before leaving. Now he was truly completely relaxed physically and mentally.
The results of the college entrance examination will not come out for a few days. During this period, everyone's mood is similar to that after the first exam. After a short relaxation, they agreed to go out and play together tomorrow at the banquet.
In fact, the weather is still quite hot, so the places you can go to must be by the water, and the Ganjiang River is naturally around Nanchang City.
Yes, everyone agreed to go to Tengwang Pavilion together. Although Wei Guangde had been there before, in fact, almost all of the group had been there. However, in June, it was quite pleasant to go to the riverside to enjoy the river breeze and cool off, so no one objected.
This time when he came to Tengwang Pavilion, Wei Guangde was also very knowledgeable.
Originally, they only had more than 20 people who were familiar with Jiujiang Prefecture, but they did not expect that many students from other prefectures and counties also agreed to come for a visit, and soon the number of students in Tengwang Pavilion exceeded 100.
Almost all of the 13 prefectures under Jiangxi came here to play and cool off.
Then, naturally, a small circle was formed with the prefecture and county, from the beginning of discussing knowledge, to later comparing poems, everything seemed so ordinary.
When discussing knowledge at the beginning, Wei Guangde naturally would not open his mouth, and of course no one would pay attention to a child like him, even if they knew that he was also a candidate for the current college entrance examination and participated in the re-examination, not many people paid attention.
In the eyes of most people, Wei Guangde is just a child with great luck.
Although, this is the fact.
However, Wei Guangde did not care, and he did not want to participate in it.
Knowledge, what is there to ask.
The ancient imperial examinations test eight-part essays, not function calculus, and the three laws of mechanics.
In Wei Guangde's opinion, this is the case. At best, they are learning Chinese now, and the knowledge of later generations is hard knowledge such as mathematics, physics, and chemistry.
However, after entering the poetry meeting mode, Wei Guangde was still a little surprised.
The first time he participated in the "poetry meeting" in this world, Wei Guangde was a little excited, but he soon stopped being excited.
There are not many famous poems from the Ming Dynasty, which actually reflects that the development of poetry in this era was indeed slow.
But think about the Qing Dynasty, it was almost the same. After the culture turned to popular culture, maybe it was like this.
Wei Guangde certainly has a weapon to show off. He remembers that there are not many poems that have not been published, but they are definitely amazing. It’s just that he is not ready to show them to a group of students.
At least he has to take the provincial examination or go to the capital before throwing out the poem "If Life Is Just Like First Meeting".
