Chapter 61: A Monster
"Brother Xiao Ning, here!"
Tang Ning walked out of the gate of the Tribute Courtyard, and a crisp and joyful voice came from his ears.
He turned his head and saw Xiao Ru standing not far away waving at him.
Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao were also there, Fang Xiaopang was holding two sugar gourds in his hands, and when Tang Ning walked over, she handed one to Tang Ning and said, "The exam is hard, this is a reward for you." ”
No one asked him how he did in the exam, Xiao Ru took the burden from him and said, "Brother Xiao Ning must be hungry, go back to eat......"
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked expectantly: "I heard a lot of people say that they haven't even finished answering the questions, how did you do in the exam......?"
Before she finished speaking, she was pulled by Zhongyi's sleeves, Zhongyi turned his head to look at Tang Ning, and said softly: "Don't think about it again after the exam, go back first, my father and mother are waiting for us to eat......"
In the Tribute Academy, candidates came out one after another, looking at the backs of several people leaving, with envy on their faces.
Not to mention how the brother took the Taiwan exam, when he walked out of the Gongyuan, he was greeted by three beauties, and he was also a candidate, which was really enviable......
……
Today's meal was more sumptuous than the previous few days, so rich that Downing was a little embarrassed.
If he doesn't do well in the exam this time, he feels that he is most sorry for the cook of Zhongfu.
Chen Yuxian sandwiched the distant meal on the plate in front of Tang Ning and said, "Eat more, eat more to have the strength to take the next test." ”
"There is nothing to prepare for the next poem." Zhong Mingli looked at him and said, "There are still two days left before the first release, just rest well in these two days, don't have any pressure......"
After the first test, the examiners will review all the test papers within two days, screen out the candidates who are eligible to participate in the second test, and publicize the list.
Only those who pass the first exam will be eligible to participate in the next two.
The poems in the second session are tested on the candidates' literary talents, and the third session is based on the students' ability to govern the country.
Among them, luck also plays a certain role, if you happen to be good at poetry, or have insights into the strategy exam questions, the ranking will not be too low.
But this first comprehensive test is a real accumulation, and the test is the student's heritage over the years, and there is no shortcut.
Zhong Mingli knew in his heart that Tang Ning had forgotten a lot of things because of amnesia, and he only had a month to review, and the possibility of passing this first scene was too small and too small.
He didn't have much hope for this, and all he originally thought was to let him participate in the next state exam.
Zhong Yi and Su Ru didn't ask him how he did in the exam, and Tang Ning knew that they didn't want to put too much pressure on him.
He thought about it for a while, if he hadn't missed it, he had already answered all the exam questions, and this first exam was completely copying the answers in his mind, and there was no difficulty at all.
There are only a few questions about history, and Tang Ning is a little uncertain in his heart, because there is a great deviation in the history of the two worlds, and he does not memorize standard answers for the evaluation of historical figures, and there may be mistakes.
But a little mistake shouldn't affect the overall situation.
However, the next game is different from the next one, poetry and strategy, the examiner's subjectivity occupies a large factor, and he can only do his best.
After the first state test, the Gongyuan was cordoned off.
The imperial court attached great importance to the imperial examination, and in order to avoid suspicion, local officials were not allowed to serve as examiners, and all the examiners of the Lingzhou Gongyuan were temporarily transferred from Kyoto.
It was not a simple task for them to review 5,000 examination papers and select more than 1,000 qualified candidates from 5,000 people in just two days.
Fortunately, after a screening, the number of candidates who participated in the second session will be greatly reduced, and by the time the second and third sessions are held, they will be much easier.
Gongyuan, a spacious hall.
More than a dozen examiners sat at their respective tables, and on the table in front of them, thick exam papers were placed.
In the hall, noisy voices came and went.
"Those who read books, the handwriting is sloppy, like a dog crawling, don't take it!"
"The test paper is dirty, the ink is double, and the suspicious mark is not taken!"
"A paper scroll, but only answered thirty percent of the questions, how did the Lingzhou local government school choose people......"
"After more than ten years of grading, no one answered more than seventy percent of the questions, sad, sad......"
"It's really not as good as one ......"
……
Liang Dongguan saluted Langzhong, who was appointed by the imperial court to serve as the examiner of the Lingzhou Prefecture examination, and he had to review nearly 400 test papers in these two days.
The first question was huge, and he reviewed them one by one, and after only reviewing more than ten copies, he already felt that his head was a little swollen.
However, as an examiner, he must be conscientious and responsible, and if something goes wrong in this process, his career will be stained with an indelible stain.
I greeted the bachelor who asked the question several times in my heart, and picked out a few test papers that were suspected of being marked, and the test papers with too sloppy handwriting, drank saliva, and continued to review.
He was not surprised that none of the papers he had read had answered 70% of the full papers.
The amount of questions in this first session is so large and the scope is so wide that even he can't help but want to scold, and over the years, there has almost never been a candidate who can answer all the questions.
The comprehensive ability of the candidates examined in the first test is extremely wide-ranging, and the candidates need to focus on and make trade-offs according to their own abilities.
Whether it is the state test or the provincial test, those who can answer sixty percent of the questions correctly can already be counted as qualified, and those who can answer seventy percent are considered excellent, and those who answer more than eighty percent are rare......
However, to some extent, this also makes it easier for them to review.
After reviewing a dozen more test papers, he took a break and brought another one.
Every time he gets a test paper, he will first look at it as a whole, if there is too sloppy handwriting, or the test paper is dirty, there are obvious marks, you can directly judge it as a failure, saving time and effort, as an examiner, he has such power.
Although the handwriting of this test paper is not eye-catching, it is also decent, the test paper is clean and clean, without any stains, he was a little disappointed in his heart, picked up the red pen, and began to review.
The filling and paraphrasing of the scriptures are all right. He nodded, Jingyi is the foundation, and it is very rare for candidates to make mistakes in this.
Regarding a few cold laws and regulations, he actually answered them all, which is a bit rare.
The arithmetic questions are ......, and there is no mistake, arithmetic has never been taken seriously, this is the first test paper he has reviewed with all the arithmetic questions, and a large number of candidates will directly give up these questions.
These examining history, En's ......, although the angle is a little tricky, but it is not too detached, it can be regarded as a clear idea, which shows that he is not like most students, who only know rote memorization to cope with exams, and the imperial court lacks such talents......
……
Liang Dong, who was reading this test paper, was in a happy mood, nodding his head while reading it, and when he turned a new page, he found that this test paper had been reviewed.
He was stunned, and then, as if remembering something, put down the pen and turned it back again.
After a while, Liang Dong stood up from his seat suddenly, holding a test paper in his hand, flipping through it, and muttering, "Monster, monster......"
Several examiners beside him noticed his abnormality and said in surprise: "Lord Liang, what's wrong with you?" ”
Liang Dong came back to his senses, put down the test paper, and said with a smile: "A few adults came to take a look, I have a monster here......"
A moment later, several examiners gathered around the test paper, amazed.
"Lingzhou actually has such a character?"
"The last time I answered all the first test, I got it right, and it was the provincial test more than ten years ago, right?"
"Talent, talent, ......"
"Heh, I'm afraid people can't describe this kind of monster......"
A few people laughed and talked strangely, and two people walked in outside the door, and the examiners gave up their hands one after another, "Lord Fang, Lord Wang......"
The two examiners looked at them and said in surprise: "Everyone, this is ......"
Liang Dong looked at the two examiners, smiled, and said, "The two adults will come and take a look......
……
When Tang Ning was eating in the morning, he learned from his father-in-law that the test papers for the first state examination had been approved, and the Gongyuan had lifted the blockade and notified the yamen, and by the afternoon, the list of candidates who had passed the first exam would be posted.
In less than two days, 5,000 test papers were reviewed, and it was not easy for those examiners.
Tang Ning later asked his father-in-law, and the questions he answered about history were still a little off, and it is estimated that he would not get points......
However, he answered the other parts well and should be able to enter the second game smoothly.
After eating and putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Zhong Mingli said with some sighs: "There is a news in the Gongyuan today, saying that among the students in this year's class, someone has answered all the questions in the first session, and none of them made a mistake, even the two examiners feel a little incredible, and bluntly say that there is a monster ...... in Lingzhou."
Downing has been through this scene and knows how difficult it is to answer all the questions correctly.
If there is really someone outside the world, there is a sky outside the sky, he can't get a full score when he hangs it, and there are still people who can do it, this is not a monster, it's just a beast......
