"Boya! Is today the day of grading? ”

Qin Xi, who was silently standing in the small pavilion on the garden trestle with his hands behind his back, asked softly to an old servant with a hooked nose behind him.

The old servant hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Hui Gongzi, I have finished reading the papers yesterday, and today is the day to record the gold list." ”

"Oh, I didn't expect that this time flies really fast, by the way, you can do it with the list that you handed to Zhang Shilang?"

"Go back to Gongzi, talk back over there, the matter has been done, even the two people who were taken out of the examination room, they can find a way to write it in, so that all our people are on the list!"

When Qin Xi heard this, he was in a good mood, and at this moment, a golden carp jumped in the fish pond under the trestle, and Qin Xi was even more happy.

He turned around and said, "Go, bring a stool, bring another fishing rod, I'm going to sit here and concentrate on fishing!" ”

The old slave next to him smiled and echoed, so he gently walked out of the small pavilion, came to the shore, and said to the maid who was waiting next to him: "Take the soft pedal and fishing gear, the son wants to fish here!" After speaking, he looked up at the sky, and then said, "Hold another umbrella!" ”

The maid hurriedly said yes, then turned around and hurried away, and the old slave called Boya turned around again and stood quietly behind Qin Xi.

"By the way, what about my father? Why haven't I seen him in two days! ”

"Hui Gongzi, the old man seems to be very busy in the past two days, he goes out early and returns late, and the old slave doesn't know, why don't you order someone to ask?"

Qin Xi nodded and said softly: "Well, I sent two clever people to inquire, this old guy always doesn't want to see me, by the way, can you find the person I told you to find?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, the people below are looking for it carefully, and they have found clues several times, but somehow, it suddenly broke off, and the old slave always felt that there was someone behind him who was secretly protecting him again!"

Qin Xi was originally in a good mood, but every time he mentioned it, he always felt bad in his heart, if he was in a bad mood, he didn't care about anything.

So when the red carp in the fish pond unhooked for the third time, Qin Xi threw the gold-inlaid jade fishing rod in his hand to the ground, looked at the tattered fishing rod, Qin Xi raised his foot in anger, and kicked the beautiful maid who gave him an umbrella next to him into the fish pond and said: "Fish for grandpa, fish out all the fish in this pond for grandpa to feed the dog, don't find the little fish cub, grandpa will feed you to the dog today!" ”

The maid in the pond who was holding her arms dripping with water, I don't know if she was scared by him or because the water was too cold, she shivered up and down, Qin Xi on the bridge saw her pitiful appearance, and suddenly laughed again, and pointed to the maid in the water while laughing and laughed: "You slut, it's a good end, hahaha......"

The loud laughter reached the door, so that Qin Hui, who had just stepped down from the sedan chair, heard it, so he turned his head and asked the slave who came out of the courtyard gate to greet him: "What are you laughing at?" ”

"Back to the master, Mr. Xi just called someone to take the fishing gear and go to the fish pond, the little one is probably happy to catch a fish!"

"Fishing?"

Qin Hui was stunned for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, you should be happy to catch a fish!" ”

After speaking, he also put his hands behind his back and entered the house with a smile.

"Zhang Shilang, this candidate's test paper is so wonderful, why did he drop it? Look at the one you chose, although the writing is not bad, but it is full of flashy and unreal sycophantic articles, I think, such a choice seems unfair, right? ”

An official in a purple robe asked an official in a purple robe who was also drinking tea on the middle seat in the reading room.

"Sycophant articles?" The purple-robed official smiled at him and said: "I said Mr. Li, the older you are, the more confused your brain is, this exam paper is written for the official family, how can it be described as a sycophant, is it possible that this candidate sings the praises of the official's cultural and martial arts, and it becomes a sycophant, hehe, I think you want to return to your hometown in advance, right?" ”

Bachelor Li is a lot old, and when he is old, he doesn't want to lose his old age and end up with a miserable end of dismissal, so he secretly weighed it, and then said: "It's the old man who didn't think about it, so I will take him!" It's just the seventh place in the second grade..."Turning his head to see that Zhang Shilang was looking at him with a strange smile, Student Li hurriedly said: "The seventh place is okay!" ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and looked at the next candidate's test paper.

There are two rooms inside and outside the marking room, and there are dozens of low-grade marking officers outside, they are responsible for screening from the sea of tens of thousands of test papers, after preliminary review, the test papers will be sent into the inner hall, where there are more than a dozen examiners are grading, these people are in a group of five, a total of one candidate's test paper, if you think it is feasible, draw a circle next to it, which means "in", a circle down, and rank by the number of circles.

Someone asked, if someone collects all the five rings, will they be properly won? The answer is wrong!

In the middle of this hall, there are three examiners, who are the chief and deputy examiners of this tribute examination, and generally do not participate in the marking of the papers, but the "final interpretation power" is in their hands.

If there is a controversial test paper, the two deputy examiners will read it first, and if there is any ambiguity between them, the chief examiner will finally "veto" or agree.

Therefore, the power of the chief examiner is the greatest, and there is a grapevine that this squire can get the seat of the chief examiner because he is attached to the Duke of Qin, and it is also rumored that as long as he passes this imperial tribute, he will be able to take the place of a certain Shangshu, which is really promising! So Master Li was naturally afraid of him.

Bachelor Li was afraid, but some people were not afraid, so he saw a black-faced official in a scarlet official robe under the hall standing up and said, "Zhang Shilang, since you want to praise the civil and military achievements of the official family, why do you want to veto this test paper?" ”

Zhang Shilang vetoed a lot, where did he know what he said, so he said: "You said that, take it for me to see!" ”

The black-faced examiner pinched the test paper in his hand and walked up to him, stretched out his hand and handed it to him: "No, this is it, especially in the last military chapter, I have counted all the military exploits of my Great Song Dynasty over the years, especially the literary brilliance of this candidate, it is really exciting to see the blood of the lower official, and it is really like being there in person!" ”

"Oh, is it really that good? Let me see! After speaking, Zhang Shilang opened it and took a look, just one glance, then poofed, threw the test paper on the black-faced official and said: "Open your big eyes and see, can't you see such a contradiction?" ”

Taboo? The black-faced examiner was stunned, and quickly picked it up and looked up and down a few times.

"Zhang Shilang, the lower officials didn't find out!"

"Didn't find it?" Zhang Shilang snorted in his nostrils, pointed at the test paper with his finger and said, "Here, here, and here!" ”

"This word appears several times, why can't you see it? Are you also dizzy? ”

The black-faced examiner glanced at the words he pointed with his fingers, and sighed: "Yue Jiajun, this, is this also a taboo?" ”

"What do you mean by 'this counts'?" Zhang Shilang suddenly straightened up, squinted at him and said, "I said Han Shaoqing, not only are your eyes bad, but your memory is not good!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Shilang got up and went down to the center of the room, looked at the examiners who were reading the papers, and coughed heavily: "In the twelfth year of Shaoxing, Yue Thief was killed for the crime of 'gathering troops to rebel', and his private soldier 'Yue Family Army' is proof that this army only obeyed Yue Thief's orders and disobeyed the holy decree several times, don't you know?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shilang turned to look at the black-faced examiner and said, "Could it be that Han Shaoqing thinks that Yue Thief died unjustly?" Improper handling by the official family and Qin Taishi? ”

As long as Yue Fei was killed, anyone with a little brain would know that he was wrongfully killed, but the thought of facing the arrogant flames of the Qin Sect made the black-faced examiner feel that it was better to retreat for the sake of his own life!

So he arched his hand and said: "It's because the official has a bad memory, and this test paper will be dropped!" ”

The Qin card is really hard, Zhang Shilang sighed in his heart, then snorted coldly at him, turned around again and ordered everyone: "You all remember that the national talent ceremony is not a child's play, especially not to be laughed at by outsiders, so please when you review the file, I hope to avoid things like this just now!" ”

Among these examiners, many of them were originally people who had taken refuge in Qinmen, so under their leadership, everyone replied in unison: "Yes, the lower officials will carefully check it!" ”

"In that case, let's keep busy!"

Zhang Shilang waved his hand casually, turned around and returned to his seat, and just picked up the tea bowl, he saw a green-robed junior official running over with a humble smile on his face and said: "Zhang Shilang, take a look at this test paper, this article, I didn't mention Yue Jiajun!" ”

Zhang Shilang squinted at this guy who was in a hurry to pat himself, so he reached out and took a look, snorted coldly, fell back to him and said: "I didn't write a word, but the battle line and formation diagram for the example are all used by him, no, let's go!" ”

slapped the horse's ass on the horse's hooves, and the green-robed official hurriedly smiled and said, "Oh, look at my stupid eyes, the lower official will go and kill him!" ”

At this time, another deputy examiner sitting next to him, looking at the scene in front of him, was not a feeling in his heart, that Yue Fei, he had chatted with him twice after a dynasty, and knew that he was not a person who respected his elders, and he would not do such a sinful thing as rebellion, and the scene that happened later also proved that Yue Fei did not have the heart to rebel, but the reason why he would die was because of the needs of "national politics", and it was okay to exchange his head for the peace of the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so he agreed to kill Yue Fei, But do not agree to pour dirty water on him and slander his reputation.

Seeing the green-robed petty official in front of him singing and praising the correctness of Song Jin's peace discussion with Zhang Shilang, his heart suddenly became uncomfortable, so he stood up with his hands in his hands, went to the toilet, and walked out of the reading room with his hands behind his back.

After happily sprinkling a huge amount of boy urine, the dog shivered comfortably, then tied his belt and ran towards the inn hall.

"Shopkeeper, let's have a bowl of hot soup cakes! I want a big bowl! ”

The shopkeeper, who was happily settling accounts behind the counter, hurriedly responded, turned his head and instructed the chef who was sitting on the kitchen threshold to choose vegetables: "Go, hurry up and clean up a bowl of noodle soup for Xiao Xianggong!" ”

The cook sighed, and reluctantly entered the kitchen, and the shopkeeper scolded him for being a lazy man, and then looked up and said to the dog with a smile on his face: "Little Xianggong, you slept happily this night, and you actually slept for a day!" ”

The dog stretched out his arms, cut down the stairs again, sat on a bench at random, and replied: "On the last night in the examination room, I finally came up with the answer, and I was afraid that I would forget it the next day after falling asleep, and I couldn't write it down at that time, so I had to endure sleepiness and didn't sleep all night!" ”
