Chapter 212: The Township Test of Feasting
Although the search can eliminate more than 80% of cheating attempts, there are still cheaters who sneak into the examination room.
For example, in the Fujian Township Examination in the fifteenth year of Jiajing, a candidate entered the country with a note...... But the end was a bit miserable, not that he was caught, but that this guy was cowardly, and only dared to peek when he went to the toilet, but because of disrepair, the pedal of the toilet was broken, and he was drowned!
Therefore, in this Nanzhili Township Examination, the examiner asked the invigilator to walk around the examination room from time to time without making a sound.
However, this seemingly ordinary rule now seems a bit torturous.
"Zila!"
A piercing oil explosion sounded, and a pot-bellied invigilator couldn't help but swallow his saliva and curse a few words in his heart...... You must know that during the exam, candidates have to stay up, and their invigilators have to stay up too.
Originally, everyone was mentally prepared to fight hard, who knew that this kind of thing would happen...... From a distance, there was a stove at the door of the room, and the man was holding an iron pot in one hand and a spatula in the other, turning it back and forth, and turning the iron pot upside down from time to time.
The candidate next door on the left poked his head out and looked around, guessing in his heart that yesterday was stewed taro and roasted meat, and what kind of dish was stir-fried today.
The candidate next door to the right leaned against the wall weakly, desperately recalling the delicious food he ate during the Chinese New Year eight months ago...... Sweet and sour short ribs, it's not like I haven't eaten them!
The tempting fragrance slowly wafted out, spreading in the small half of the "Hong" alley, and the invigilator walked all the way, helplessly hearing countless spittle, all of them were dripping.
No way, I gnawed on cold steamed buns, people ate hot dishes and hot rice, cooked a pot of porridge in the morning, with two tea eggs, and cut the zongzi and fried them in oil, tsk!
The invigilator slowly approached to take a closer look, sweet and sour short ribs, pumpkin fried shrimp skin, and eggplant with meat foam.
I faintly heard the people inside still muttering, "I knew I should have brought two stoves, no rice, bad reviews!" ”
Do I want you to move tables, chairs and benches again!
The invigilator hated and thought to himself, he should have classified you in the stinky number!
The three dishes were swept away, and Qian Yuan was too lazy to brush the dishes, so he should have brought two more sets of dishes and chopsticks, and threw them away directly when they were finished, there was really not much water in the examination room.
Pinching his nose and going to the toilet, Qian Yuan looked at the stinky candidate next to him sympathetically, lying in it with a helpless face, even if he wanted to hand in the papers and leave, he had to wait until tomorrow.
I went back and looked at the honeycomb coal stove, boiled the kettle of water, and made a cup of tea, Qian Yuan picked up the pliers to change the position of the honeycomb coal, and sealed most of the tuyere below, and then opened the exam paper leisurely.
The three questions and four book questions have been written on scratch paper, and two of the four questions and five scripture questions have also been done, and the efficiency is good, and Qian Yuan only then did he feel the benefits of Lu Shusheng's almost abusive teaching method.
After making a draft of the remaining two Five Classics questions, Qian Yuan began to sort out from scratch, following Lu Shusheng's previous comments, revising and refining little by little.
It wasn't until the evening that he looked at it from beginning to end to see if there were any typos, avoidance, etc., that Qian Yuan got up and moved, and then it was dinner time that made a few candidates next door miserable.
Qian Yuan opened the damper of the coal stove, knocked a few raw eggs, and threw the prepared chopped shallots into it...... The kitchen knife really can't be brought in, so I scramble a shallot egg, and then serve it with a plate of chili sauce, pour a little sesame oil, it's enough.
Qian Yuan looked at the box while feasting, there was only a little mushroom left in the vegetables, it seems that he should prepare more vegetables, but he didn't need to bring more meat dishes such as braised pork and sweet and sour short ribs.
Qian Yuan is self-aware, whether he can pass the township test depends on luck, maybe this set of equipment can still be used.
Probe to see that there were candles lit in the next few rooms, Qian Yuan thought about it and moved the box out, and then took out the bedding and pillow from the box and laid it out, with his head facing inwards and his feet facing outward, and he kicked Zhou Gong with both legs.
Sleeping until the third pole of the sun before waking up, Qian Yuan wiped the saliva from his mouth, he was able to hand in the roll today, and he was too lazy to burn it anymore, so he only cooked two meat dumplings to fill his stomach.
Slowly grinding the ink, pondering in his heart that there was nothing missing, Qian Yuan began to officially transcribe, and after about noon, his stomach was already rumbling before the transcription was completed.
"Hey, hey, turn in the papers."
The two colorless soldiers at the door looked back and saw the examination paper bag in the hand of the refreshed Qian Yuan.
"Finally handed in the papers, finally ......" the candidate in the next room on the right roared happily.
The heads kept poking out in the number rooms on both sides, and the invigilator not far away heard the sudden noise, walked over vigilantly, and then looked relieved.
The invigilator and the soldier collected the papers, scratch paper, and floating tickets and sent them directly to the examiner, who gave them to the scribe, who transcribed them with a red pen, and marked the typos, mistakes, and mistakes.
After that, after another batch of people who are ready to check whether the transcription and the examination paper are consistent, the examination paper is sent by the examiner to the sealing officer for sealing, and the transcription paper is sent to the marking officer for formal review.
Is there a benefit to handing in first?
Of course, there are thousands of eight-strand essays to be read in more than ten days, and any grader has a headache and annoyance, but the first paper to see is often when they are sober-minded, and the chance of passing is often greater, of course, the exam paper itself also needs to have a certain level.
However, these were not in Qian Yuan's consideration, he packed his things and carried the box out of the door, and waited at the gate of the Gongyuan for more than half an hour, and more than fifty candidates were released together.
There are still soldiers guarding the gate of the Gongyuan, and he has walked hundreds of steps before he sees Yang Wen and the others who have not left, Qian Yuan got into the carriage directly and went back, but unlike the others who turned around and slept with their heads covered, he still had the energy to chat, pet the cat, and even have the leisure to cook a meal at night...... I haven't eaten rice for three days, and I feel uncomfortable.
The first one is the main event, and the last two are relatively simple, but when Qian Yuan entered the venue again, he learned that hundreds of candidates missed the second game and directly abstained.
Among them, some were caught cheating, some forgot to avoid or wrote a typo and only found out afterwards, some were unlucky and accidentally burned the exam papers, and some were forked out before they finished it.
There is also a 2B candidate in Songjiang Prefecture, who always thought that he had finished writing it by himself, but he didn't find out until he handed in the paper, and he hadn't officially copied it, and finally he didn't finish it after dark...... In the previous life, every year in the college entrance examination, there were candidates who forgot to fill in the answer sheet, one thing.
Nearly 5,000 candidates have been brushed off more than 10% at once.
Qian Yuan carried the box into the room again, and all the candidates around him did not look good, thinking that if this subject failed, he would have to bear at least half of the responsibility.
The second is a question of the Five Classics, plus an edict, a judgment, an epigraph, and an edict, which is relatively easy.
On the Wende Bridge, more than a dozen strong men in civilian clothes looked at the Gongyuan from afar.
"Don't look at it." The leader retracted his gaze, "This young master is not an ordinary scholar, he sent a message from above, let him finish the township exam." ”
"It is said that the sugar shop of the Qian family is making money today?" There are subordinates who can't help but covet it.
"Sun Jiquan has just been reinstated as the left servant of the ministry." The leader sneered: "His eldest brother Zhi Jiangong, who died of illness two years ago, and the commander were old friends back then. ”
"I think of it, Qian Jiazi has a helping hand to Zhijian."
"People are still friendly with the Wei State Mansion."
"Okay, pay attention to me."
