, the sun is shining brightly on the roof, and there are birds flying over the Gongyuan——

The bugler praised: "Master Juren dances so high." It is rare to see such a lively scholar.

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "You want to jump over the Dragon Gate? I have been practicing." After that, he returned to the dormitory, straightened the tables and chairs, and started to polish the ink. The draft of the first performance "Only the benevolent can be good and evil" has been typed.

, just waiting to be written on the cursive scroll, and now I am typing the draft of the second chapter. At this moment, I saw someone writing a poem by the wall. Ouyang Xun style cursive, the calligraphy is very beautiful, the poem goes: "Eight thousand people can be lifted."

Even Yuan Kui, I also walked in. The troubled articles were answered one by one, and all the questions were guessed without a clue. The tiles in the room often leaked, and the candle nails could not be bent. I have been blessed in three times, and the master did not take the leftover talent.

.”

Looking at this ink mark, it should have been left by a candidate of the Guichou Section three years ago. Zhang Yuan thought to himself: "How can this person know that he must have failed while he is still in the room?" Looking at the lines of small print at the end of the poem, it turned out that this

Wei Juzi only wrote three of the seven chapters in the first scene. The next two games were just for fun, and he left a poem to laugh at himself when he was bored.

Zhang Yuan shook his head and was not affected by this decadent person. After grinding the ink, the eight-treasure porridge in the tile bowl under the eaves was cooked thoroughly. He scooped a few spoons of Jinhua brown sugar and stirred it evenly. Zhang Yuan asked the soldier to get a bowl first.

I served a bowl to Hao Jun——

The trumpeter kept saying, "Thank you, thank you so much." He smelled the delicious fragrance and his mouth watered.

Zhang Yuan ate a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and began to answer the questions. He first broke the question and said: "The sage determines the likes and dislikes, and only gives them to the benevolent."

Evil people are also fair and righteous, so their actions are not out of constant emotion, but can only be said to be capable. If they are not the people they are, they can be treated lightly..."

Zhang Yuan did not write an essay specifically based on the preferences of the examiner Wu Daonan this time. Wu Daonan was second in the Jichou examination in the 17th year of Wanli, and the number one winner was Jiao Hong. However, when Zhang Yuan asked for the production art study of that subject, he discovered that

Wu Daonan's eight-legged essay seeks novelty in its structure and novelty in its writing. It is a kind of avant-garde writing. Those who like this kind of craftsmanship will praise it, but those who don't like it will simply discard it as a failure. It can be said that the Chinese style has a great influence

Chance depends on the preference of the room master and the seat master. Zhang Yuan can also write this kind of craftsmanship, but Zhang Yuan cannot take this risk because he may not even be able to pass the test of the Spring and Autumn Room Marking Officer, and the current Wu Pavilion

There will definitely be a big difference between his thoughts and writing style when he is old and when he was young. If he were to follow Wu Ge's old hobby again, that is to wait for the rabbit and wait for the rabbit, which is the most stupid thing. Therefore, what Zhang Yuan pursues in the first chapter of this art is

It has a harmonious tone and elegant tone, and the words are rich and natural. This is the right kind of writing, and no one can say it is bad——

This nearly 500-word book with four titles and eight chapters is written in one go. After writing the first chapter, Zhang Yuan immediately wrote the second chapter. In Beijing in February, the days are short and the nights are long. Although he is a famous genius, he has to wait until dark.

Even though I have finished writing and transcribing the seven chapters of the first scene, I dare not relax, I have to seize the time. Although it can be continued after dark, wouldn't it be better if it can be completed before sunset.

At the end of the afternoon, all the eight-treasure porridge in Wabo was eaten. Zhang Yuan also finished six of the seven chapters of his first art. It took him half an hour to finish the last one, and then he started to check it carefully. There were no illegal errors or omissions, so he finished it.

After grinding with an inkstone for a while, I started transcribing. I wrote my name, year, place of birth, third generation, and classics at the beginning of the volume in regular small letters. Then it took me an hour and a half to complete the transcribing of the seven chapters. At this time, the sun was setting.

The light has faded and dusk has begun to fall.

Zhang Yuan packed up the examination basket and was accompanied by the number officer out of the "Chui" dormitory. He sent the draft paper and the main paper to the test-taking office on the east side of the supervision hall. There was an examiner responsible for collecting the papers. Next to it was the examination room.

After sealing the paper, the sealing official looked at Zhang Yuan's name on the examination paper, glanced at Zhang Yuan again, and sealed the examination paper quietly. However, when Zhang Yuan turned his back, he scratched two lines at the end of the paper with his fingernail.

Cross mark——

Zhang Yuan didn't have eyes behind his back, so he couldn't see the subtle movements of Mi Fengguan. He walked out of the receiving area briskly. The number "6" also completed the guarding task. He said goodbye to Zhang Yuan and returned to the army.

residence.

Walking out of Mingyuan Tower, the tall and graceful Wenchang locust tree bowed like a giant in the dim dusk, as if saluting Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan quickly saluted the Wenchang locust tree and strode out of the three dragon gates.

The first thing I heard was Mu Zhenzhen’s cheerful voice: “Master, Master—”

Mu Zhenzhen has sharp eyes. He has been staring at it since the dragon gate opened. He ran over quickly and took the test basket from Zhang Yuan's hand. His blue eyes were full of joy, and he showed off his long waist and long legs, which was particularly charming.

Wu Ling, Laifu, Wang Dachui, Zhang Dai's concubine Suzhi, Xiaosi Mingyan, Zhang Lianfang's servants, Qi Biaojia's servants, and Wang Binglin's servants all gathered around. Zhang Yuan said: "Wait a little longer, they will all come out

of."

Suddenly I heard a clear and crisp voice calling: "Brother Mr. Zhang, did you do well in the exam?"

Zhang Yuan took a look and thought, Ha, Xiao Jinghui is here, and Jinglan is there too. Jinglan is standing beside a carriage not far away, looking this way. She must be waiting for her fiancé Qi Biaojia to appear. Shang Jinglan and

Qi Biaojia had already arranged her wedding on the 26th of last month, and agreed to discuss the wedding date in three years.

Zhang Yuan and Xiao Jinghui walked to the carriage and asked Mu Zhenzhen: "Zhenzhen, do you have any food? I'm very hungry." After a hard day's work, the physical strength was very high.

Jing Hui said hurriedly: "There are Ge Lao cakes on the carriage. I'll go get them for Mr. Zhang's brother." He added, "My mother is here too."

Zhang Yuan went to the carriage and saluted his sister-in-law Fu. Mrs. Fu had to come to take care of her two daughters because they were coming. She then asked Zhang Yuan how he did in the exam. He was very happy to learn that the exam went well and asked: "Qi

Has Huzi not passed the exam yet?" The mother-in-law is concerned about her son-in-law.

Jing Hui took out a small jar from the car. There was a stack of Ge Lao cakes in the jar, which were still warm. He said, "My mother asked the cook to prepare this specially for Brother Zhang and Qi Huzi."

While they were talking, Shang Zhouzuo and Qi Chengshun arrived. Zhang Yuan came forward to greet them. After waiting for about two more seconds, Qi Biaojia and Zhang Dai came out. They were all smiling, and they were obviously very proud of their exams. Zhang Dai

He smiled and said, "I finished it before Ji Zhu."

After waiting for a while, Zhang Lianfang came out. Shang Zhouzuo invited Qi Chengshun and his son, and Zhang Lianfang's uncle and nephew came to his house for a banquet. The next day, Zhang Yuan gave a copy of the seven chapters of Shouyi to his brother-in-law, Shang Zhouzuo.

Look, Shang Zhouzuo praised it after seeing it: "This kind of craftsmanship is reasonable in high school."

Zhang Yuan thought: "Then there is another surprise."

…

In the spring of Shuntianfu Gongyuan, in addition to 200 examiners, 8,000 candidates and nearly 10,000 trumpeters, there were more than 5,000 transcription students and reading students. The transcription students were responsible for sealing the sealed ink scrolls with ink pens.

After copying and signing your name, send the red scroll and the original ink scroll to the reading center. The reading student will be responsible for proofreading to ensure that the copied red scroll is word-for-word and the original ink scroll.

The proofread ink scroll will be sent to the inner curtain for marking, while the original ink scroll will be kept at the receiving area to be unsealed, checked, and sent to the Gift Department for polishing when the list is released——

This set of marking procedures seems to be seamless and can prevent fraud, but the devil is as good as the law. When the temptation of money is strong enough, some people will ignore the law. As long as they are willing to work hard and spend money, they can always find a loophole.

Getting in, the sealing officer and the transcriber were the key. The sealing officer scratched his finger on the examination paper and compiled it at the end according to the Sansheng font size. After many twists and turns, this examination paper was obtained by a bribed person.

In the hands of the transcribers, there are a total of three transcribers who have been bribed——

A transcriber has to transcribe five such examination papers a day, so the transcriber does not need to immediately transcribe the examination paper with fingerprints, but secretly hides the ink scroll and passes it to another person while going to the toilet.

, this person came to the dining hall with the examination papers. In addition to the 8,000 examinees, there were nearly 20,000 dining halls in the Gongyuan. There were hundreds of dining halls, and there were thousands of cooks and handymen. The people were mixed together in a woodshed.

, a skilled calligraphy and painting framer from Songjiang Prefecture received this ink scroll. He cut the first part of the ink scroll from the seal, and then spliced ​​it with another eight-legged essay with the same title that he had just received. He wanted to combine the two

The pieces of paper are so spliced ​​that it is difficult to tell with the naked eye. This requires superb skills. The paper is textured. The framer soaked the edges of the paper that needed to be spliced ​​with water, used a small brush to draw out the fine fibers, and then spliced ​​them together. It took him a whole night to splice them.

After breakfast, the transcription student copied the ink scroll based on the spliced ​​ink scroll——

This cheating method is called "cutting off the head alive".
