Qin Guan was frightened by his father's request to write one essay a day and one essay every three days.

After the college examination, Qin Guan began to study hard, and now he has been off and on for half a year. He was asked to write a separate essay on classics and meanings. He could write it, but Qin Guan himself knew what his level was.

It's far from that.

At most, I can only express my thoughts. I want to write a beautiful article with gorgeous rhetoric and exquisite writing.

He really can't do it now.

What should I do? After Qin Guan took a shower, he was still thinking about this problem while lying on the bed.

It seems that his miserable days are about to begin.

When he got up in the morning, Qin Zhang gave the two brothers a question on classics and meanings and a question on policy, and then put on his official uniform and went to work. Qin Guan was alone in his small study worrying about the questions on classics and meanings.

Almost all the famous sentences in the more than ten classics of history and the Four Books and Five Classics had test questions. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, many splicing questions appeared because there were not enough test questions.

As for policy topics, they are all related to current affairs and politics, and there are almost no identical topics.

what to do?

There is no way, there is no off-site help for him now, he can only do it himself.

Let’s get past the current level before talking about it. I picked up the title of the sutra and looked at it. The title is “You may know it when you are born; you may know it when you learn it; you may know it when you are trapped; knowing it is the same thing.”

Qin Guan didn't need to read the book to know that this was a sentence from the "Twentieth Chapter of the Doctrine of the Mean", which means: "For example, some people know it from birth, some people know it through learning, and some people have to meet it.

They won’t know until after the difficulty, but as long as they all know in the end, it will be the same.”

Qin Guan searched his mobile phone and found that there were several answers to this question in the mobile APP.

However, Qin Guan put down his cell phone first. He planned to try solving the questions by himself first, and then revise the answers to find out the gaps, so that he could improve by doing the questions.

It took Qin Guan nearly an hour to finish explaining the meaning of this sutra. He wrote about 500 words, which is not too long or too short. Then Qin Guan spent another half an hour revising it, and worked for nearly two hours before finally finishing it.

The meaning of the chapter is finished.

After finishing writing, Qin Guan put aside the scripture he wrote, took out his mobile phone and looked at the answers on his mobile phone.

If you don't know, you will know how rubbish you are.

The meaning of the scriptures was written with witty words, neat couplets, and well-founded explanations. Qin Guan sighed in his heart, he was worthy of being admitted to the Jinshi, and his writing was good.

However, Qin Guan did not completely copy other people's work. He also improved the meaning of his own article based on the viewpoints of his own article.

Just like that, the whole morning passed.

I have to say that reading is boring, but if you read it, time will fly by.

In the afternoon, Qin Guan practiced his sword for a while and then started reading. As for the strategy article, Qin Guan only read the title and felt that he had no clue, so he put it aside.

When Qin Zhang came back in the evening, the father and son had dinner at the same table. Qin Zhang called Qin Guan and Qin Wei to the study room and opened the scriptures they handed over to check.

After reviewing Qin Wei's scripture meaning, Qin Zhang used a red pen to highlight a few places that he felt were poorly structured and inappropriately worded. He commented: "It's quite satisfactory and can only be considered average. If you use this kind of scripture meaning article,

I'm afraid it will be difficult to impress the examiners and get high marks. I have said that you must have your own opinions and don't always follow the rules and imitate the explanations of predecessors."

Qin Wei responded and took his manuscript of the scriptures.

Qin Zhang picked up Qin Guan's scripture meaning again. Qin Guan was slightly nervous. To be honest, this scripture meaning was the first one he wrote by himself. Although he also borrowed other people's articles, he had his own

The point is in it.

Qin Zhang looked at Qin Guan's meaning of this scripture, sometimes thinking deeply and sometimes frowning. In the end, he did not start sketching, but looked up at Qin Guan: "Where do these views come from?"

Qin Guan was confused: "I came up with it myself. After I saw the title, this point of view came to my mind, and then I wrote the explanation around this point of view."

Qin Zhang first looked at his son carefully, and then sighed: "Maybe Guan'er, you are one of those 'born to know' people."

Qin Guanxin said, is this a compliment to himself for being smart?

But then, Qin Zhang's face turned serious and he angrily yelled at Qin Guan: "You can come up with such novel and relevant viewpoints. This is your talent. But look at the article you wrote. The structure is loose and weak, and the sentences are dry.

There is no sense of beauty at all. Reading it is like holding a delicate porcelain plate with sour wild fruits inside. You have really wasted this talent."

"No wonder you directly plagiarized other people's answers during the provincial examination. You have a smart mind and exquisite opinions, but you can't express them well. Your biggest problem is that your foundation is too poor. This is also my fault. I was too indulgent to you in the beginning.

So much so that you became what you are now."

"From today until the examination, you are not allowed to leave home without my permission. You must write at least two scriptures and one essay every two days."

Qin Guan's eyes widened.

Is this still alive?

After waving his hands to let the two brothers leave, Qin Wei followed Qin Guan to the backyard garden. The two brothers sat down and chatted. Qin Guan said: "I think it's a little inexplicable that my father is so angry today."

Qin Wei looked at Qin Guan and said with some seriousness: "Second brother, actually sometimes I envy you."

Qin Guan was surprised: "Why do you envy me? We two brothers grew up together and lived in the same environment. Our parents treat us both the same, so there is no difference. Moreover, my father always exaggerated in front of me that my brother is stable and sensible.

He often scolded me bloody."

Qin Wei shook his head and said with a smile: "I envy you for having a good mind."

"You know, I started studying at the age of four and have been studying since then. From that time on, my father taught me that I must study hard and get a good name when I grow up, so as to continue the Qin family."

"Since then, I have never worked hard for a day. I wake up at midnight and go to bed at five o'clock. I have memorized countless classics of the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. Then I have to learn various exercises from the predecessors, learn chess, calligraphy and painting, and learn to recite poems.

Fu, learn everything useful for the imperial examination."

"But when I grew up, I discovered that just hard work is not enough. People also need talent. Some people are really talented. Just like you, you never studied hard before, but now with a little effort, you have achieved the results of others in poetry.

An unattainable achievement.”

"Now your poems have been widely sung in the Great Zhao Kingdom. Your poems have become classics after all. Even thousands of years later, people will remember you Qin Guan."

"Even in the academic examination, I worked hard for more than ten years before I was admitted as a scholar, but you only studied for half a year and achieved the same results as me."

"Actually, my father is angry because he is angry that you don't cherish your talent. You can see what my father said about me just now. My level is only in the middle. This is my true level. More than two thousand candidates will try it.

What are my chances of passing the exam?"

Feeling a little cold, Qin Wei stood up and patted Qin Guan on the shoulder, "Second brother, maybe the future of the Qin family depends on you, so work hard."
