"This party was actually Zeng Yuanshu's host. He had a relative of a distant clan who came back to worship his ancestors. Huguang Chengtianren. He just passed the exam for scholar this year, named Zeng Shengwu. He was about the same age as us. He seemed to be two years older and less than twenty years older, so he was considered a talent."

Wu Dong began to introduce that in fact, on the one hand, the Zeng family introduced their children and other scholars to each other, and on the other hand, they also showed off. Although no one in the younger generation of the Zeng family has passed the scholarship, there are talented people among their relatives.

It was very powerful in ancient times when you were less than 20 years old. If you were lucky, it would be more reliable to take the imperial examination for a juren and a Jinshi in the next few years.

The Ming and Qing dynasties were periods when the imperial examination system was improved. From the initial county examination to the final palace examination, there were actually few people under the age of 20 who passed the Jinshi.

There are, but very few.

Most of the Jinshi are on the list at the age of 30 and forty, and many of them are still rolling up their sleeves to take the exam for scholars at the age of 20.

"By the way, my cousin, do you have any sample papers for outstanding candidates in recent years?"

When he went out this time, Wei Guangde knew very well that his parents and elder brother's main job was to finalize the marriage, and when he came to him, he naturally wanted to find more excellent eight-legged essays.

Although I only wrote eight-legged essays for two months, Wei Guangde still realized that it is really important to read more and write more.

Read more other people's excellent articles, remember the opinions and words and sentences in them, and apply them when writing eight-legged essays by yourself. This is what Wei Guangde wants to do now.

Eight-legged essays are difficult to say, but they are actually not difficult not.

For people with excellent memory, if you see the questions given by the examiner and know the meaning and source of the questions, then the ones that follow will be easier to handle.

According to the structure of the eight-legged essay and the problem that has already appeared, my opinion on the topic is to do it.

The reason why Wei Guangde needs to write more is that he is extremely uncomfortable with the current culture.

Although the soul of Wei Guangde has been integrated, Wei Guangde in later generations is dominant.

In later generations, Wei Guangde's compositions from elementary school to middle school were all in vernacular Chinese, and who was so good at writing those vernacular sentences?

Since you can't write, you can only write more and enrich the language in your mind by writing more to form a memory.

In fact, most of the eight-legged essays are fake and empty nonsense, because everyone basically has similar views. The only difference is how to use words, which makes people feel novel.

Most examiners in the Ming Dynasty claimed to be realistic and righteous, and only allowed candidates to make solid and mature rigid articles, and were not allowed to use gorgeous lyrics in poetry and essays, nor were they allowed to quote any other books other than classics.

The last one is true. Wei Guangde read a lot of eight-legged essays and rarely quoted other books.

Of course, maybe most of the things he is looking at now are related to the county test papers, after all, the level is there.

But in Master Sun’s words, it depends on what kind of person the examiner is. Not all eight-legged essays have to be made into a stagnant pool.

If the examiner likes poetry and essay writing, he must use gorgeous words.

Master Sun taught Wei Guangde more about exam-oriented education, and he tried every means to pass the exam.

Of course, Wei Guangde is not disgusted with these things that are speculative.

Well, after saying so much, Wei Guangde actually needs to find more excellent eight-legged essays to memorize. At least he needs to figure out most of the questions, how to solve them, and also understand the views of scholars in this era.

After all, Wei Guangde's current thinking about many issues is actually incompatible with the people of this era. He doesn't want to show it, so he should be with the light.

As for the solution, it is to copy, copy other people's opinions, write them out in another way, not abruptly, and get fame first.

At this time, Wei Guangde was actually only fame, fortune and wealth. Finally, in ancient times, his beautiful wife and concubines, and his wealth were what he wanted to get at this time.

But Wei Guangde's current family background is just like that, and if he wants to get these, he has to rely on himself to work hard.

If you want to live a good life in the future, you have to work from elementary school to high school. Only by entering a good university can you have the opportunity to enjoy it for decades.

Now that the Ming Dynasty is in the face of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Guangde plans to work hard for twelve years to strive for fame and fortune.

Wei Guangde's goal now is a scholar. At that time, he can still be arrogant and prosperous for the rest of his life after staying in Madang.

The second goal is of course the juren, and of course the ultimate goal is to pass the imperial examination, get a Jinshi, and become an official.

If only the juren was admitted, Wei Guangde would not plan to become an official, after all, the official position would be too young.

Two months ago, Wei Guangde remembered that there was such a great man in the Ming Dynasty, that was Hai Rui, but Lord Hai's life was definitely not what he wanted.

But Wei Guangde did remember that Hai Rui seemed to be not a Jinshi, but just a juren as an official.

It is naturally a big obstacle to becoming an official. Fortunately, Lord Hai insists on his own characteristics and persists until his old age. He never reaches the level of a small official to the third rank or a few rank, but it seems that the career path is not smooth.

Wei Guangde didn't want to be a corrupt official or a clean official, so it would be better to stay in his hometown.

If we can win the reputation of Juren in these twelve years of struggle, Wei Guangde also plans to go for the imperial examination.

Of course, these are a bit far away for Wei Guangde now, but he still needs to prepare.

The first step in preparation is of course to collect excellent articles and memorize them by rote.

As for such articles that have no thoughts and no connotations, it is actually not important to Wei Guangde. He does not expect that he can rush up to three yuan or six yuan in a crazy way.

I remember that the novel I saw later in the past doesn’t mean that in which emperor in the Ming Dynasty, if you win the first place and win the top scorer, you will be the one who will cause trouble and be punished by the prime minister of the dynasty at that time, you will not be able to take care of yourself.

Wei Guangde couldn't judge whether it was true or not, but he didn't want to be the first to be a leader, and enjoying life was what he wanted to do.

Wu Dong naturally has some such articles here, and there are quite a few. Apart from some duplicates, there are still many that Wei Guangde does not have.

Just look at it and read it a few more times to record it, but this is not what Wei Guangde wants to be stable. It is better to have a copy in his hand. Just take a look if you have nothing to do.

Unfortunately, most of the articles collected by Wu Dong are handwritten. After all, these articles are a bit low in grades, but no bookstores are published and sold.

Looking at the articles that were dug out by Wei Guangde on the table, Wu Dong smiled and said, "I'll just find someone to copy one for you, a few taels of silver. Some scholars are rushing to copy these for you.

However, copying yourself is actually the best way to not only deepen your memory, but also practice calligraphy.
