Chapter 392 We Will Meet Again
The little devil's description was so vivid and vivid that the students had a picture in their minds just by listening. It turned out that Gongyuan was just a small dark room.
But I still want to go see it myself...
Another student came up and asked Zong Wenxiu, "Hello, may I ask how you managed to pass the Tongzilang exam in such a short time?"
Zong Wenxiu replied gently, "Because time is tight, we squeeze in time to study every day. We often recite while eating buns, thinking while eating, and thinking before going to bed. In addition, we must grasp the key points when studying and distinguish the primary from the secondary. Some compulsory test questions must be thoroughly studied and memorized, and some unimportant questions do not need to be put too much thought. And, most importantly, we really want to win, we really want to surpass other classmates, seniors, and young geniuses from major colleges."
The man's eyes lit up when he heard this. He thanked him repeatedly and said, "You have already done it. You have defeated many geniuses."
After hearing this, the five young boys all smiled.
The capital city is full of powerful, talented and hardworking geniuses. They have been immersed in chasing geniuses, but have not noticed that a few of their own people have already become the unattainable geniuses in the eyes of thousands of students.
Another student came up and asked, "Do you feel tired after studying so hard?"
Shen Yibai said: "Of course I am tired. I often feel that studying is annoying, but we have to take an exam every three days. After each exam, I find that I have made a lot of progress. That indescribable sense of accomplishment has made me grit my teeth and persevere until now. It's just... I feel that I am better than the day before every day."
"So are you going to take part in this year's autumn examination?" As soon as this question came out, the students behind all looked over with expectant eyes.
The Autumn Examination, that is the Autumn Examination.
An examination that only scholars and boys could take part in.
As long as you pass the exam, it is called success.
If one person succeeds, the whole family will be honored and the whole academy will be glorious.
The little devil replied confidently: "Of course, we will all take the autumn exam this year. After passing the autumn exam, we will also take the spring exam. Next year, we will go to the Golden Throne Hall to take the palace exam."
Another person came and asked, "That's amazing! Why are you so confident that you can pass the exam?"
He Zheng said firmly: "Because we are very strong."
…
The students asked questions one after another, ranging from learning methods to learning mindsets. One person asked a question and hundreds of people listened.
Boss Xie smiled at the dean and said, "It's so lively, I almost want to go up and ask some questions."
The dean said with a smile: "If you want to ask, go ahead. If we miss today, we may never have the chance to see such an outstanding child again."
Boss Xie paused after hearing this and replied, "That's right."
As he said this, he also went to line up, and when it was his turn, the young boys waved to him and greeted him.
Boss Xie smiled and asked, "There is no doubt that all five of you are very good. I believe that you have worked hard, but you must also be very talented. My question is, for those who are not talented in studying, do they still need to work hard?"
The young boys looked at each other and finally decided that Zong Wenxiu should answer. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't think there are that many people with talent. Among the boys I know, only one can remember everything he sees. All the others can only remember after reciting word for word many times. Another kind of talent is the talent of understanding. This is indeed different for everyone, but the real test of understanding is the Spring Examination and the Palace Examination. A strategy paper is a test of the ability of understanding. The depth of the essay directly determines life or death. But the previous exams are not like that. For example, although the Tongzi exam is an exam for child prodigies, it only tests comprehension and recitation. However, the number of questions is very large, requiring very, very hard work and the ability to grasp the key points. Then there is the autumn exam, which tests many subjects. Even if you are not so good at writing policy essays, you can make up for it by studying poetry, the Four Books and the Five Classics. If you are biased in one subject, you may not get a good score, but you still have a chance to pass the exam. "
What he meant was: Even if you don’t have talent, you can still go a long way with hard work.
And this journey has surpassed many, many people.
Boss Xie understood. He nodded and said, "You are right. I learnt your lesson."
Zong Wenxiu also smiled at him and nodded humbly.
In half an afternoon, the five young boys answered nearly a hundred questions. Even though they were drinking water, they still felt dry mouth and tongue.
When it was over, the dean arranged for the teachers to evacuate everyone, and the students left reluctantly.
Suddenly someone in the crowd shouted, "Will I be able to see you again in the future?"
As soon as this voice came out, the noisy yard suddenly became silent.
Everyone knows that they are from the capital, and maybe they will never be seen again in this life. The questions asked this afternoon are as unreal as a dream. When you wake up from the dream, everything is gone, not even a trace left.
Zong Jincheng stood on the stage and could clearly see the young man who was asking the question through the huge crowd. He encouraged him confidently, "Yes, we can meet in the officialdom in the future."
The little devil wants to enter the official career.
If they want to see him, they have to pass the exam first.
"Okay, wait for me, I'll be admitted soon!" the young man said loudly, "My name is Xin Nanbei, we will definitely meet again!"
A few young boys waved at him, as a response and also a farewell.
Boss Xie exchanged the money he earned from selling eggs for an even number. The five young boys parted ways with him at the gate of the academy. After watching the children leave, Boss Xie turned around and looked towards Guangming Academy.
The extinguished fighting spirit in my heart was rekindled.
On the way back, the little devil threw the one or two taels of silver into the sky. After He Zheng caught it, he threw it again. The other people also followed suit, catching it, throwing it, running and making noise.
Zong Wenxiu reminded them with a smile: "Be careful not to be too happy, or you may end up in sorrow. If we lose the money, all our work today will be in vain."
The little devil threw it out to play again, and said firmly: "Don't worry, brother. I saw that this section of the road is very flat. Haha, we are happy. This is the first time we have earned money in our lives! The cost of one or two silver taels is only half, which means that we have earned five hundred coins, five hundred coins... Five hundred coins, we can buy a lot of good things!"
Shen Yibai complained: "Eggs are too cheap. A few large baskets only cost one tael of silver. I think it should be sold at ten taels to be reasonable."
