“Guessing questions?”
Xu Erlang asked in confusion, but he was very smart and immediately understood what Xu Qi ‘an meant.
He poured a cup of hot water for his brother and put on a coat for himself. Xu niannian sat on the chair and said, ” no need. Several great Confucians of the Academy have already helped us mark the questions.
!!
After the establishment of the Imperial College, the students ‘thoughts were confined to the Four Books and Five Classics, without the spiritual influence of their predecessors. One of the aftereffects was the lack of poems.
However, there was an advantage to it, and that was that it was easier to spot questions.
The so-called ” reading the questions ” was actually the same as the teacher in Xu Qi ‘an’s previous life who knocked on the blackboard and marked the key points. Because the scope and the answer method were limited, the imperial examination paper could be ” predicted ” to a certain extent.
In addition to guessing questions, there was also a fancy operation-buying questions.
And what was even more amazing than buying questions was “internal setting.”
The so-called internal stability meant that even if this kind of person wrote nonsense, they could still pass the test smoothly and become a tribute.
The specific method was to bribe the head Examiner and discuss how to use the “secret code.” For example, the end of the first line was “old,” the end of the second line was “tie,” and the fourth, fifth, and sixth lines were “666.”
The head Examiner could tell that they were his own people.
Sealing names and copying couldn’t prevent such cheating.
Xu Qi ‘an had heard about this from Wei Yuan. After hearing it, he sighed. The wisdom of the ancient people could not be underestimated.
It was a pity that bribing the examiners wasn’t a consideration. Xu niannian was a student of Yun Lu Academy, so it was destined that he wouldn’t have the chance to become the top scorer, second place, or third place. It might not even be possible for him to be in the top.
Before he met Zhong Li, Xu Qi ‘an only thought about how to help Erlang make a cheat sheet and hide it from the invigilators. After racking his brain, he came up with a solution, which was to copy the article somewhere.
The inspiration for this method came from the silly netizens in his previous life. He remembered that someone bragged about himself on the internet, saying that his girlfriend had seen two words engraved on his penis:Jun Chou.
He only asked what these two words meant, and the idiotic netizen smiled faintly. Qi sank into his dantian, and a pillar propped up the sky.The water of the Yellow River came from the sky … I’ll share the sorrow of eternity with you.
Although it was an unreliable boast, Xu Qi. an was very immersive … This wasn’t important. What was important was that Jiro could do all of the above.
He only needed to use his cultivation base of the physical cultivation realm to say, “My Diao Chan … Then, he could write a 500-word essay on it.
The examiner would definitely not notice.
However. with Erlang’s pride, he would never do this even if he was killed … Xu Qi ‘an nodded slowly. what about the poem? ”
Xu niannian frowned. I don’t think about poetry. I’m not good at poetry.
His exam preparation was focused on strategy questions and classics, and of course, the other students were the same. Poetry could only be said to be based on fate.
“It’s better to be safe than sorry. Big brother came here to guess poetry.” Xu Qi ‘an said.
“Then how does big brother plan to guess?”
“Draw lots.” Xu Qi ‘an smiled mysteriously.
……..
“Mother, I want to eat oranges.”
From the connected inner room, the little boy walked out in a loose shirt.
“Why are you eating oranges at night? do you still want your teeth? the oranges are in the living room. Go get them yourself.” His aunt was worried about her son’s future.
The little boy went out without a word. She finished eating an orange in the corridor outside and went back to her room to take a nap, satisfied.
Second uncle and aunty continued to discuss Xu Erlang’s future, and as they spoke, aunty started to regret sending Xu niannian to Yun Lu Academy.
The second son had been a genius since he was young and had a good memory. When the cloud deer Institute was recruiting students, second uncle Xu had brought his son to Mount Qingyun for an examination, and he passed the examination on his first try.
“If only I had sent him to the Imperial College.” His aunt said in frustration.
“A woman’s opinion. Yun Lu Academy is the true Orthodox School of Confucianism.” Second uncle Xu snorted.
……….
Xu niannian cut a piece of rice paper into a dozen small squares and wrote ” flowers, birds, fish, insects ” and other themes on them. Then, he casually swiped and drew.
“Big brother, you do it.”
Xu niannian felt that his eldest brother was just fooling around, but seeing how enthusiastic he was, he couldn’t refuse. He just wanted to quickly send away his annoying big brother so that he could sleep.
He also wanted to see if his big brother could compose a poem on the spot so that he could satisfy his craving.
Xu Qi ‘an closed his eyes and grabbed at the air.
“Two?”
Xu niannian noticed that his eldest brother had grabbed two pieces of paper.
“Two it is then, one more as a backup.”
As Xu Qi ‘an spoke, he unfolded the paper. They were ” ode to zhinian ” and ” patriotism “.
Xu nianxin looked at his brother with anticipation.
“ememememem……. I’ll think about it and give it to you tomorrow.” Xu Qi ‘an scratched his head.
After saying goodbye to Xu niannian, Xu Qi ‘an went back to his room. He lit the candle and sat at the table. He looked up at the beam and said, ”
“Aren’t you a clairvoyant? can’t you directly predict the topic of the spring examination?”
A woman with disheveled hair was lying on the beam. She was wearing a simple linen robe and replied, ” a prophet should know how to keep secrets. I’m not a person with great luck. If I reveal the questions of the spring examination, I might die tomorrow.
“I’m here to protect you. Didn’t the supervisor say that I’m a person with great luck?” Xu Qi ‘an urged.
“Since you are a person with great luck, then the topic you drew must be the exam question of the spring examination.” “Why should I take the risk?” Zhong Li replied indifferently.
It made sense … “Then why don’t you let me guess about strategy and Scripture?” Xu Qi ‘an asked again.
“The more simple it is, the easier it is to guess correctly.” Zhong Li said.
Xu Qi ‘an didn’t say anything else. He thought about the poems he had learned in junior high school. Even after so many years, some of the poems were still clearly imprinted in his mind.
