Chapter 9 Twists and Turns
Three days later, Feng Qiumo, Wu Xianling, and Sun Jian reviewed the examination papers overnight. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Thousands of test papers, of course, not three people can be busy, a total of ten marking talents, after reviewing the literature and history part, the three main invigilators were also busy all night.
In the end, according to the grading level of literature and history, Wu Xianling personally selected fifty copies, and then the invigilator rated the poems.
Although there are two parts of the township examination, one is literature and history, and the other is poetry, as a comprehensive evaluation of the final admission. However, children focus on the foundation of knowledge, supplemented by poetry, if there are two candidates who are equal, it is also based on the score of literature and history.
After all, what good poems can children who participate in the township examination write? What's more, there is no specific standard for poetry, and personal preferences are different, so it is difficult to uniformly measure the superiority.
Wu Xian Ling sorted out fifty exam papers, put them on the desk, and yawned.
"Feng Lao, Sun Lao, this is the top 50 in the literary and historical evaluation, please take a look."
Feng Qiumo and Sun Jian were both red-eyed, they had been busy all night, and they had to report the final results to the Academy as soon as possible, so they were in a hurry.
"There is an order from Laowu County, the two of us have slept for an hour, and you don't even close your eyelids."
Feng Qiumo arched his hand and said, and Wu County Ling hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"You two are both highly respected seniors, and this kind of trivial matter of manual work is naturally done by the lower officials."
Inspector Sun picked up a scroll and flipped through it expressionlessly.
"Nothing, right? This is related to the future of the students, and it is also related to the selection of talents by the college. ā
"Naturally not, the lower officials have sorted it out three times, and there will be no mistakes."
Wu County Ling is the respect of a county, and the three of them are also lifters, but Feng Qiumo has a higher reputation than him, and Sun Supervisor was sent by the Academy of Literature, so he is humble.
It also shows the status of the literati.
The first thing Inspector Sun looked at was the first place in literature and history, the paper on the grade A, and he could see at a glance that this was Mei Xueyan's exam paper, he had skimmed it roughly, and naturally recognized it, his heart was slightly heavy, but his face was silent.
Because of the first place in literature and history, it is no surprise that it is the head of the case in Lin'an County this time, and Inspector Sun doesn't even want to give her the place of children, how can she get the position of the head of the case as she wishes?
Feng Qiumo picked up the second-place paper and commented: "I made one mistake in one question, corrected the wrong words twice, and answered the first question by mistake, and the score was lower, well, the score is fair." ā
When Inspector Sun heard this, he secretly said in his heart that it was not good, this second place was under the first place, Mei Xueyan's roll was on the armor, and there was a difference of two levels in the middle! It can be said that as long as there is no accident in the poetry part, wouldn't the head of the case fall on the woman?
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this man in Lin'an County is so useless? Even a woman can't compare, even the second place is two levels behind, and the others are even more unsightly!
"I think this paper can be put to the next level."
Inspector Sun still had a straight face and said quietly.
Wu Xianling took it and looked at it, and felt that there was no reason to wait.
"Why did Inspector Sun say this?"
"According to the evaluation criteria of the Academy of Letters, as long as the typos do not affect the surface of the paper, there is no need to deduct points, this year's test questions are too difficult, this paper is only one wrong question, enough to evaluate the first, but because it answered the first question, it should be downgraded to one level, and it will be rated as the first!"
Inspector Sun also has a headache, if he doesn't forcibly give it a second grade, then Mei Xueyan will be a sure thing to get the case!
Wu Xianling was a little surprised, how could this sour old man give people a wait? Although the reason is a little far-fetched, but this year's general score is too low, and even the second place is only under the first place, and his face as a county magistrate is also gloomy, and he may be accused of not being strict in his studies by those old ghosts in the Academy of Literature.
Wu County's order did not object, but Feng Qiumo did not agree.
"The typo can only be blamed on his lack of rigor, and as an invigilator, he can't be open to such an attitude. And if he made a mistake, it is most appropriate to comment on the first one. ā
Inspector Sun slandered, this dead old man's temper was strong again, the general local invigilator, which one is not respectful to him, the inspector sent by the Academy of Literature, this Feng Qiumo is still as stinky as always, and he is not afraid of offending him.
"The second place score is too low, if it is reported to the Academy of Literature, I'm afraid Lin'an County won't sound good to say, you say yes, Wu County Order?"
Inspector Sun can only win over Wu County Order, he Feng Qiumo doesn't care, but Wu County Order still has to earn a few points of fame.
"Yes, yes, let's change it to A Middle School, which can be regarded as an encouragement to students."
If there is a disagreement in the marking, the majority shall prevail, Feng Qiumo glared at Wu Xianling, and he could only give up.
Inspector Sun sneered, pointed to the first exam paper and said, "Moreover, this first place is not enough to be rated as the first grade." ā
"Huh?" Wu Xianling asked with a bitter face, "Why is this?" ā
Why? How did he know why?
If you want to suppress Mei Xueyan's rating, Inspector Sun can only make it up.
"Because ......," Sun Jian hesitated for a moment, his eyes lit up and said, "Because this volume is too sloppy and the handwriting is ugly, it should be downgraded by one level!" ā
Feng Qiumo has an upright temperament, but he is not stupid, where does he not know that Inspector Sun has seen the clues and wants to make trouble?
"Didn't Inspector Sun say that the handwriting does not affect the volume and cannot be deducted points? This person's font is average, but it is neat and tidy, and there is no typo, so why downgrade? ā
"Don't you also say that he is sloppy and can only blame him for not being rigorous enough? We are people who read, calligraphy is the most important, even children have a class to learn words, because the word is like its person, the word represents a person's cultivation and academic attitude, this person must not be rated as a first! ā
Feng Qiumo was irritable, and suddenly his beard shook with a rough blow.
"Don't be ashamed to say that a full man doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry! Do you know how many poor scholars can't afford to buy pen and ink, so they can only practice calligraphy on the sand? The imperial examination selects talented students, not calligraphers! ā
Inspector Sun didn't move, only looked at him coldly.
"When Wang Xizhi was young, he learned words out of thin air, and he could also become a generation of scholars, and the so-called poverty is just an excuse for people to be lazy."
Feng Qiumo was so angry that his hands and feet trembled slightly, and his hand holding the chair handle tightened.
"You're just messing around! One is that the answer is perfect, and the other is how many mistakes do you rate the two as equal? It's really a big joke, and it doesn't cover up and favor anyone, is the Academy of Literature even corrupting to such an extent now? If you wantonly suppress again, I will make a break and ask the Academy for an explanation! ā
Wu Xianling not only admired his unyieldingness, but also depressed that he almost had to quarrel several times every year to mark the papers, and this year he almost pointed at Sun Jian and scolded him.
also blames Inspector Sun, the reason is too absurd, and he acts arbitrarily.
"Elder Feng, Elder Sun, don't comment on literature and history for the time being, and we will make a decision after reaching a consensus later." Wu Xian Ling said with the dough, "Let's read the poems first, the poems haven't been rated yet!" ā
Although he was not afraid of Inspector Sun of the Academy of Literature, he would damage his reputation and no longer worry about Feng Qiumo, this Feng Qiumo had long been notorious and very difficult, and he was sued by him, and he couldn't get out for a while.
Tong Sheng's poetry ability is limited, and he can't see it, and Sun Inspector has nothing to comment on, so he sat aside and let Wu County make them rate.
"Good! Feng Lao, look at this poem! ā
Wu Xian Ling suddenly said two good words in a row, and handed the scroll to Feng Qiumo.
"My family washes the inkstone pond tree, the plum blossoms are light ink marks, don't let people praise the color, only leave the clear air full of goodness."
Feng Qiumo's face that was originally crowded in a pile stretched out, and as soon as he tasted it, he liked this poem, and the more he read it a few times, the more flavorful it became, and he couldn't help but appreciate it, but he was addicted to it, and couldn't help but smile.
"The first two sentences depict painting plums, and the last two sentences borrow things to clear their ambitions, which is indeed a good poem, not to mention a child's life, even if it is placed between the talents and people, it is also unique, rare and rare!"
Wu Xianling saw him dancing with his hands, and couldn't help but smile: "Feng Lao is still like this, when he meets a talented person, he can't even hold back his laughter, Feng Lao, I think this poem is more like expressing your heart." ā
"No matter who writes about it, this poem is rightly on the top."
The depression in Feng Qiumo's heart has also dissipated a lot, even if he is demoted, what if he is blamed? He still goes his own way, he doesn't need to bend his mind with anyone, and he doesn't need to be flattered by others.
Don't let people praise the color, just leave the air full of goodness!
Inspector Sun had already read the poem quickly, and he was very sour on the side, a broken household, what kind of pretending to be arrogant?
He was trying to find a bone in the egg, but he couldn't find anything wrong.
"The poem is not bad, there is no big mistake in rhyme, it's just that the battle is a little worse, so I can barely evaluate it."
Even Wu Xianling was a little annoyed, this poem is fundamentally different from others, and its artistic conception does not need to be limited to any battle rhyme.
Feng Qiumo was affected by poetry, but his mood was calm, the treasure mirror would not be covered with dust, and the pearls would not be buried in the sand.
"We are not qualified to evaluate this poem, I dare to conclude that this poem will inevitably come out of the county, if you and I are not convinced, Feng Qiumo respectfully asks for the holy judgment!"
The tone is flat, but it is as pressing as the morning bell and dusk drum.
The so-called out of the county is the fame of the poetry, which is enough to be praised outside the county.
"You!" Inspector Sun took the case and shouted, "How dare you? How can the Holy Judgment be used in the rural trial? ā
Feng Qiumo sat like a green pine and said: "Of course I dare, Inspector Sun, if you mess around again, I will not only ask the Holy Judge, but also sue you in a book!" ā
Inspector Sun gritted his teeth with hatred, but he could only give up.
The sage's verdict is not a joke, if the verdict is biased in their favor, their own reputation will be ruined, and their future will come to an end. Even if he insists on winning, he will not get anything good.
In the final analysis, he is just maintaining the unification and rejecting Mei Xueyan, who is the head of the case in Lin'an County, and what does it matter to him? What's more, at this time, the results of the township examination are no longer within his control, no matter how he suppresses them, the talents and learning of other candidates are difficult to match compared to Mei Xueyan.
"You transcribe the list, and release it tomorrow morning!" Inspector Sun said helplessly, "I will report this matter to the Academy of Literature." ā
After saying that, he didn't even look at the list, and Tengteng left.
Wu Xianling sighed: "This result is full of twists and turns, it will be a success of this girl, and Feng Lao will make a lot of contributions." ā
"Thank you Wu County for making you speak up, the first girl in Jingguo must be a good name in Lin'an County."
Feng Qiumo snorted in his nose, blaming Wu County for being too tactful, but it has not yet reached the point of indistinguishing between right and wrong, and it is worth intersecting with such a character in the officialdom.
Wu Xianling was embarrassed, and said with a sneer: "It's really ashamed to say, I wasn't optimistic about the woman at first, but she surprised me, I sent someone to the door to publish the list, count me as apologies!" ā
