Chapter 91: The Heart of Talent
Copying is a tedious and time-consuming task.
It took the scribes three full days to transcribe all the papers.
After that, these volumes were sent to the hands of the prefectural instructors for preliminary screening.
Articles of average quality will be directly brushed off, and they will not be able to enter the eyes of the great master at all.
Only articles of the highest quality will be sent to Grandmaster Lei in front of him, and his old man will personally approve the ranking.
After all, if so many test papers were to be read by the Great Grandmaster, he would not be exhausted to death.
As a subordinate, it is reasonable to share the worries of the peak.
Since the test papers have been copied once, there is no confusion in the handwriting.
The only criterion that influences judging is the quality of the article.
However, there are exceptions, and Luo Xundao found a fragmented scroll that had been copied.
What's going on! This scribe is too unserious! How unreasonable!
Doesn't he know how important the college examination is to the candidates?
In line with the serious and responsible attitude towards the children participating in the examination, Luo Xundao found the transcription of this volume-Wu Feng.
After some inquiry, Luo Xundao learned that there was a reason for this.
Wu Feng took the original scroll and showed it: "My lord, please see, this scroll is badly defaced by ink, and the villain has tried his best to copy all the parts that can be seen clearly." As for the vacant part, there is really nothing that can be done. ”
Luo Xundao frowned and pondered.
Although the article is badly defaced, it can also be seen from the fragments that the person who wrote the article is very thoughtful and logical.
It would be a shame if such a good article was buried because it was defaced.
Luo Xun showed pity, and then carried the scroll away and said, "I will take this scroll away and show it to the Great Grandmaster." ”
Although Wu Feng was a little confused, he was not too worried.
After all, the test papers have been defaced like this, what other clues can be seen?
...
...
In the Huixin Hall of the Fuxue, the Great Grandmaster Lei Li was taking a nap.
When he heard someone knocking on the door, he opened his eyes and said aloud, "Come in." ”
Luo Xundao gently pushed the door in, cautiously walked in front of Lei Li and bowed, "See Lord Lei." ”
Seeing what Luo Xun was holding in his hand, Lei Li asked, "What are you holding in your hand?" ”
Luo Xundao hurriedly sent the test paper to Lei Li.
"Didn't you say that you would send them together after all the rolls had been sifted? What does that mean? ”
Lei Li said with some displeasure.
Sending them one by one, do you want to annoy people to death?
"Lord Qiyu Lei, this is the original volume. Because it was defaced, it had some trouble transcribing. However, Xia Guan scanned it hastily and felt that this article was quite extraordinary. So he took it and asked the great master to look at it. ”
Luo Xundao's meaning is very clear, although this test paper is flawed now, the article is very good. During the screening process, he could have sifted it out directly, but he was afraid of being responsible, so he threw the paper directly to Lei Li, and Lei Li made the decision.
Whether you take it or brush it off depends on what you want from Grandmaster Lei.
Don't throw the pot at me then, I won't carry it.
Lei Li knew that Luo Xundao didn't want to take responsibility, so he nodded and said, "This official knows, you can go down." ”
"The next official retired."
Luo Xun gave another salute and bowed down.
After Luo Xun left, Lei Li picked up the test paper and looked at it.
I saw that there were many defacements on this scroll, which not only affected the appearance, but also made many words unreadable.
Lei Li couldn't help frowning.
This candidate is too careless, right?
But he still watched patiently.
Although it is intermittent, the level of this article can also be seen from a few words.
Piecing together some fragments, he guessed the idea expressed in the article.
What surprised him the most was that the style of the article was very much like that of a person.
That person is Qian Xushan.
Lei Li admires Yang Ming Xinxue very much, and he also admires Qian Dehong very much.
The two were originally in the same year, and Lei Li would ask Qian Dehong for spiritual lessons whenever he had the opportunity, which can be said to have benefited a lot.
He has also read a lot of Qian Dehong's articles, and his personal style is very obvious.
The style exuded by this article is not exactly the same as that of Qian Dehong, but at least seven or eight points similar.
Lei Li was very sure of this.
Content may be obscured, but style is not!
Lei Li only felt excited!
All this aroused Lei Li's curiosity, and he tore off the pasted note, only to see Xu Yan's name written on the scroll.
Sure enough, it was him!
Lei Li shook his head.
He should have thought of it a long time ago.
Xu Yan is Qian Dehong's beloved apprentice, and the articles he writes are naturally like Qian Dehong.
It's just that he doesn't understand how Xu Yan, who looks so secure, could make so many defacements on the test papers.
This is very inconsistent with his impression of Xu Yan.
It would be a shame that such a talented junior could be brushed off for this reason.
After thinking about it for a long time, Lei Li decided to put this volume into the list of those who passed the preliminary screening first.
However, he has to take another temporary test, and all candidates who have passed the preliminary screening need to participate.
...
...
Soon, Fuxue made Grandmaster Lei's decision public. And the names of those who passed the preliminary screening were pasted on the back.
Xu Yan and Chen Maoli went to look at the list and confirmed that their names were among them.
"Brother Shixian, didn't Grandmaster Lei say that there is only one test in the academy exam? Why do you have to try again? ”
Although Chen Maoli is very confident in his own strength, it is better to have more than one thing, and the additional test will increase uncertainty after all.
"Brother Lu Qing asked me, who should I ask?"
Xu Yan shook his head: "Since the Great Grandmaster wants to take another test, there is naturally a reason for his old man." We just have to follow it. ”
Chen Maoli nodded and sighed, "That's the only way." ”
...
...
Zhang's house.
Zhang Yinian was shocked when he heard the news that the hospital test was going to be added.
What surprised him even more was that Xu Yan was also on the list of additional tests.
How is this possible?
"What's going on? What's going on here? You explain it to me! ”
Zhang Yinian pointed to Zhang Han, the steward who was kneeling on the ground, and scolded sharply.
Facing the scolding of his young master like a storm, Zhang Han buried his head on the ground, and he didn't dare to come out.
"Speak, aren't you quite able to speak? Why are you dumb? ”
Zhang Yinian was almost crazy: "You said that the scribe was able to do things, this is a good thing he did!" ”
In a fit of rage, Zhang Yinian casually threw a teacup at Zhang Han.
Zhang Han couldn't dodge, his right forehead was directly smashed, and the bleeding did not stop.
"Useless things, ruining the good things of this son!"
Zhang Yinian roared: "Get out, get out of here." ”
Zhang Han was so frightened that he hurriedly ran out.
"Xu Yan, why is it always you! Were you born to defeat me? ”
Zhang Yinian's hideous face was torn to pieces near the previous anthology, and he laughed wildly: "I don't believe it, I don't believe it." What about the additional test? I'm going to beat you to your face! ”
