Chapter 54 pt 2 (2/2)

In this quarterly exam, there are forty tie jing questions and ten mo yi questions, totaling 50 questions.

The so-called Tiejing began in the Tang Dynasty. It means to fill in a few words or sentences in the space of the scriptures to be tested. Moyi is to explain the meaning of a passage, and it is best to recite the passage of the scripture that relates to the question.

Since none of the students in Class B have learned to do eight-legged essays, they will not be tested. The Tiejing and Moyi are both literal knowledge. As long as you are familiar with the “Four Books and Five Classics” and “Zhu Zi Ji Zhu”, you can do well. The only difficult thing is that there are a lot of questions.

Half an hour, fifty questions. One carelessness will result in the circumstance where the time has finished but the exam has not been completed yet.

Xue TingRang looked up and found that many students seemed to be familiar with this exam, and they started to do it when they got the papers. He dipped his pen in the already polished ink and began to write.

The first question title is from the chapter sentence of Liang Hui Wang in “Mencius”——

King Qi Xuan asked, “Can you hear about Qi Huan and Jin Wen?”

Mencius replied, but the latter was empty and needed candidates to fill it up.

Xue Tingpan quickly wrote: “The disciples of Zhongni who have no way or literary matter will have no legend in future generations. The minister has not heard of it. If there is no way, then the king?”

In fact, these tiejing questions are not difficult. What is difficult is that one word cannot be wrong. Whenever a word is missed, this question is wrong. After these days of focused studing and copying, Xue TingRang can call his “Four Books and Five Classics” and “Zhu Zi Jizhu” a fluent memorization.

In particular, he has learned it many times in his dreams, and in reality he only needs to consolidate a few times to get twice the result with half the effort. This is why Chen Jian and others are very curious. It is obvious that Xue TingRang doesn’t learn much in normal times, and most of the time he is copying books, but no matter what questions are asked of him, he can answer easily.

Xue TingRang quickly finished fourty tie qing questions in one breath.

He put his pen down to rest, looked up and looked around. Most of the people were immersed in the papers. He took out the water tube and drank some water, covered the tube, and placed it away before beginning to do the rest of the moyii problems.

Moyi questions are small questions, so they seem to be many, but they are actually very quick to do.

After Xue TingRang finished, he checked again and confirmed that there were no mistakes. He took out the bamboo tube and washed the pen in a bowl that was used for a pen.

His behavior is a bit weird. You must know that almost all of the thirty students were immersed in the questions, but he has a leisurely attitude, which means that the questions were finished.

Meng Xiansheng, who was sitting in the front, focused his gaze and his eyes looked around Xue TingRang’s body.

He then went to see the hourglass again. It was just over half the time.

As the person presiding over this quarterly exam, Meng Xiansheng naturally knows the difficulty of the quarterly exam. There are too many questions and too little time. Every quarter exam has many students who cannot finish all the questions. If you can’t finish writing, those questions are not counted. It’s the same as missing the chance of being a top scorer and getting into Class A.

But Xue TingRang finished writing so early in advance. Either he knows how to do the above questions or he simply abandoned all hope and gave up.

Mr. Meng is quite familiar with Xue TingRang, and the owner greeted him when he entered the house, asking him to pay more attention to this student. Ordinarily, he looks at this person, his performance is not top-notch, and he can even be said to be unknown. Especially before he entered the house, he had only studied in a rural private school for a few years, and he couldn’t even understand the scriptures.

After thinking for a while, Meng Xiansheng opened his mouth and said, “If you are done, you can hand in the paper in advance.”

The voice suddenly sounded in the quiet lecture hall, and most of the students raised their heads as if they were waking up from a dream, and looked around blankly. It was not until one person stood up that they realized that someone had finished the exam.

How can it be! Looking down at the remaining questions on their own exam paper, they suppressed the sound of surprise in their throats. If it weren’t for the quarterly exams that prohibited loud noise, probably many people would have already screamed.

Xue TingRang raised the book bag and handed the papers to Meng Xiansheng respectfully.

Mr. Meng looked down at the paper, then went to look at him, and nodded.

Then Xue TingRang left.
