Yun Yuanji read this as the standard requirement of carpentry, and then he read all the scoring criteria for other categories.

Xu Wen listened attentively, the things to be done in each category are different, but the assessment standards are the same.

Yun Yuanji finished reading, nodded slightly, and retreated to Sun Boran's side.

The candidates were quiet for a while, and then quickly commotioned.

A candidate in the back asked aloud, "What is the purpose of the treasure chest? What does this mean? Why is it not written in the previous rules?"

This candidate is obviously also a carpenter, he said, while waving the movable type printed words, and some candidates did not know why, and echoed together, the scene was a little noisy for a while.

"Silence!"

A loud voice came from the wall, Sun Boran looked down expressionlessly, and said lightly: "When you make something, don't you think about what it is used for in advance? Then are you still a craftsman? ”

The examiner spoke, and the voices of all the candidates stopped abruptly.

Xu Wen glanced back and found that they were all meditating on their boxes, trying to break out of the doorway.

"The candidates took what they had made and lined up. ”

The corners of Sun Boran's mouth curled, and when he gave an order, Xu Wen suddenly became noisy and chaotic.

The examination room of Tonghe Prefecture Examination is quite special.

It is not in the palace, but at the back of it, separated by a wall from the yamen.

It may have been a mountainous area in the past, but later all the trees were cut down and the ground was slightly leveled to create a large clearing for various purposes.

Before, the draperies were all over this large open space, crowding it to the brim, but now that the fabric had been torn off, it suddenly looked much more open.

The three examiners stood on the top of the wall of the city wall of the government office, and the candidates behind left the examination room just now with their suitcases in their hands, gathered under the wall, and stood behind Xu Wen in different categories.

"Grading starts now, starting with carpentry. After all the candidates stood still, Sun Boran pointed to the head of the object in Heguang County, "A word No. 1, come up with what you made." ”

The head of the object is obviously a reader, and he looks a bit like a scholar, and he has a little more calmness than a scholar, which is very attractive to look at.

He didn't seem to expect his turn so soon, and he was a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down, picked up the treasure chest beside him, and walked up the stairs under the guidance of the guard.

Soon, his figure appeared on the wall, facing Sun Boran, and all the candidates below were staring at him.

"Under the Lower Wei Dou, a person from Heguang County, seventeen years old this year, a joinery apprentice, greeted the three masters. He clasped his fists and saluted the three of them, his attitude calm.

"How many years have you studied carpentry?" Liu Xiu asked gently.

"Fourteen years. Wei Douxia replied.

I am seventeen years old this year, and I have studied carpentry for fourteen years, which is equivalent to learning at the age of three. This kind of qualification, most of the family does this.

"It's time to go. Sun Boran said.

"Yes. Wei Dou replied and raised his treasure chest.

From a distance, this treasure chest is complete in form, with fine surface patterns, and it is obvious that it has been fully completed.

"I made a girl's household makeup, and according to the requirements, there were a total of 12 squares in it. This grid is used to place the hairpin inserted on the head, and this grid is used to put the ring......" Wei Dou held the box under the box, pointing to the introduction one by one, saying very simply, but the idea was very clear.

The fact that he was the first to come to the stage and was able to say it so quickly and so well proves that he had thought of this before he did it.

He quickly finished speaking, the twelve grids, large and small, were all allocated for use, and there was no waste at all.

Sun Boran's expression was slightly gentle, nodded at him, asked the messenger to bring the box, and asked, "Why did you think of doing this?"

"Women's jewelry is varied and varied, and needs to be placed in different categories. Its size also coincides with this box, and it is the most suitable for making makeup. Wei Douxia replied calmly.

Sun Boran asked a few more words, and Wei Douxia answered them all fluently.

Sun Boran was finally satisfied, asked someone to bring the box over, and said to Wei Dou: "Wait a while, we will get the score immediately." ”

"Yes. Wei Douxia saluted respectfully and stepped aside, unable to find the slightest mistake from beginning to end.

"It's worthy of Wei Douxia, this thing deserves its name in the first place, what does this make others say. A small voice came from Xu Wen's side, full of envy.

Now Xu asked them that the first carpentry in each county stood closest to the city wall, and the back were all carpentry candidates from various counties. They stood in a line with their boxes, so close that they could be heard by the people next to them if they were talking a little louder.

"Do you know him?" asked another candidate.

"Wow, you don't even know Wei Douxia, are you learning this business?" the candidate in front of him whispered.

"Why didn't I learn this business, and everyone should know him?" the man was dissatisfied.

"Do you know which is the most powerful carpentry workshop in our Tonghe Mansion?"

"Yes...... A shop?"

"That's right, what is the surname of the owner of the second-level wooden workshop, a one-saving workshop, and a one-yard workshop?"

"I don't know. ”

"I ...... Do you have to sell your brain?" the candidate in front of him was speechless.

"I just don't know. "The candidates in the back are quite innocent.

"I guess, is it surnamed Wei?" Xu Wen couldn't help but laugh a little, and turned around and asked in a low voice.

"That's right, a fool can guess, brother, do you think this kid's brain is too bad?" the candidate in front of him complained to Xu Wen.

"You say people are stupid. The candidate suddenly became clever at this time and reminded.

"I ...... You can't speak, if you can't speak, shut up quickly!" The candidate in front of him was annoyed and angry, and hurriedly explained to Xu Wen, "Brother, don't listen to his nonsense, I didn't mean that, no, I said the wrong thing, but I really didn't mean that!"

As soon as he was in a hurry, his voice became louder, and he was immediately stopped by the servants.

The candidate hurriedly shut up, and Xu Wen smiled and whispered to comfort him: "It's okay, I understand what you mean." Are you two together?"

"Whoever is with him, who is a brother with these two fools, has long been angry with him. My name is Zhuang Shou, his name is Lu Pengju, they are both from Heguang County, and I met them on the way here. You are...... Yu Shui's head last year?" Zhuang Shou asked Xu in a low voice, and there were quite a lot of words.

"Yes. Xu asked.

"Although Yushui is a small county, it is very powerful to be able to get a head. "Big cities still have a sense of superiority over small places, Zhuang Shou's words were obviously envious, but he obviously didn't take him too seriously.

"You just said that Yizhufang is a second-level workshop, which is one level higher than Yue Mu Xuan?" Xu Wen didn't think and inquired.

"That's right. Yue Mu Xuan is very powerful, and the business is quite big, but he is a famous Dougong master. In the entire Jiangnan Dougong, his family said second, but no one dared to say first. Even in the whole week, it is famous!" Perhaps because he is a fellow villager, Zhuang Shou feels a little proud when he talks about a shop.

Xu Wen noticed a word in his words - Da Zhou?
