Chapter 252 Envy, Jealousy and Hatred
I will definitely miss this year's Spring Examination.
If you think about it this way, he was lucky enough to have avoided such a disaster.
Luck is a thing...
The prince pursed his lips and said nothing for a long time.
In just a few days, Song Jingyun had made great achievements.
The bamboo fan with bamboo painting is made of bamboo silk soaked in paint. It is delicate, light and beautiful. Even Jiang Mixia praised the fan while holding it, "This fan is really beautiful."
The bamboo fan woven by Song Jingyun before was also very beautiful, but the simple texture formed by the amount and thickness of the bamboo threads, although simple and generous, lacked a sense of refinement.
Nowadays, there are brightly colored paintings on the fan, which makes the whole fan more lively and looks more beautiful.
"Not bad." Song Jingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, but it only flashed away, and he said in a deep voice, "It's just that the time is a bit short, so I can only weave it like this. If you can give me more time to practice, I will definitely be able to weave a better-looking fan."
Jiang Mixia opened her mouth.
Can you make a better-looking fan?
When she went to buy those bamboo paintings before, the shop manager talked to her incessantly about how difficult it was to make these bamboo paintings, and how long it took the craftsmen to learn to reach their current level of achievement. As a result, Song Jingyun was able to develop to such a level in just a few days, and was able to keep improving.
Sure enough, in the face of absolute talent, any other efforts are nothing.
Suddenly I understood the feelings of those who had taken the exam with Song Jingyun before.
Those people are probably tired of saying words like envy, jealousy and hatred...
The day of the Spring Examination is coming soon.
Normally, the Spring Examination is divided into three sessions, each lasting three days.
The first test consists of three questions on the meaning of the Four Books and four questions on the meaning of the classics. The second test consists of one essay, five judgments, and one optional question on imperial edicts, imperial decrees, and memorials. The third test consists of five questions on classics, history, and policy.
Everyone prepared for the exam as usual, and some even took mock exams before the test in order to be able to write beautiful essays related to the exam content in advance, which would also help them pass the exam.
But just after entering an examination hall, all the candidates who came to take part in the Spring Examination discovered that there was something wrong.
There were no questions on the exam paper, it was just blank.
Do you want to let them express themselves independently and choose any topic they want?
The candidates were stunned for a long time before they reacted slightly, and most of them felt a little happy.
Although they had already memorized the Four Books by heart and could recite the notes by heart, everyone's level of understanding was different and there were bound to be things they did not understand thoroughly. Therefore, before the exam, everyone was very worried that the questions would test their weaknesses.
But now that I can choose my own topic, I will naturally choose the area I am best at, and I will definitely be able to write a brilliant article.
Everyone was delighted, and some even started grinding ink and picked up their brushes.
But when the pen filled with ink was about to hit the paper, everyone hesitated.
What if the subject you are good at is the one that the examiner hates the most? Besides, all the scholars in the world read the same books, so naturally they can master the easy ones well and understand the difficult ones poorly. If everyone writes the simple ones, won’t the competition be more intense and it will be more difficult to stand out?
