Shen Xi can tell at a glance whether the article is good or bad, if this article is really from the hand of the "female Zhuge ", then even if she goes to the field to take the exam, she can be admitted to Xiucai without accident. As for whether www.biquge.info can be lifted, Shen Xi is not easy to judge, because it is not a good article to be lifted in this year, in addition to playing on the spot, it also depends on the preferences of the examiner, as well as many off-the-board moves outside the examination room.

With his literary brilliance, being a "primary school teacher" must be more than enough.

Ma Jiu asked, "Master, who wrote it?" ”

"Unsigned."

Shen Xi put down the letter and said, "But what else is left?" ”

Ma Jiu recalled it carefully, shook his head and said, "Master, just this letter, I haven't seen anything else." ”

Shen Xi said with a smile: "In this way, post a notice again, and at the same time publicize it in the city, just say that the old man will be paid two taels of silver per month, please come back and enlighten the son, everyone can sign up, and the official will make the assessment, and the final winner can serve as the west seat of my Shen family." ”

Although Ma Jiu didn't understand why Shen Xi was so bothered, he still nodded yes, and when Shen Xi finished writing the notice, he immediately went out to post it and advertise it widely.

Since it is an open selection of Mr., it is necessary to set the salary price a little higher, and give some gifts or something during the New Year's holidays, as for who is selected, it depends on how talented and learning, Shen Xi will not deliberately be partial.

Since "Female Zhuge " prides herself on being a good learner, and dares to go to the Governor's Yamen to submit a letter of recommendation, she should not be afraid to compete with those men, and at most she comes in men's clothes.

I pretend not to know, and let you take the test at the same time and make a selection.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Guangzhou Prefecture was a sensation.

Lord Governor personally invited someone to go back to teach "Childe", as for whether this Son is the son of Lord Shen, or his younger brother, or a person of the same clan and clan, it is difficult to say.

Others know that Shen Xi is only seventeen years old, and he can't give birth to a son who can be enlightened, but if Shen Dufu wants to hope that his son will become a dragon and want to study for his three or four-year-old son, it is also very likely.

Shen Zhuangyuan himself is the champion of thirteen years old, and the son he gave birth to is of course also a leader among people, maybe he is already a little prodigy at the age of two or three, and he can recite poems.

Two taels of silver a month is twenty-four taels a year.

After working hard to test a talent, and the annual examination is excellent to make up for the students, they can only receive four taels of silver every year, and the twenty-four taels of money do not conflict with the salary of the students, and they can also be under the same roof as the governor, maybe they can be appreciated by the governor, promoted to the staff, and even invincible in the imperial examination.

There are people in the DPRK, and it is not impossible to be released as a magistrate in the examination.

High salary, but also a wide range of contacts, as soon as the news came out, immediately let all the teachers in the city rejoice, many originally had their own teaching and educating people, this time also came to apply, the selection of the future is bright, the election can not be selected to meet the governor to listen to the teachings is also good.

Many people actually just want to see how much real talent this is the third grade of the superintendent, since you want to test our knowledge, you have to come up with something real to convince us, right?

The day of selection was set on the 10th day of the second month, and the place of the selection examination was set up in the backyard of the official post where the governor's yamen was located in order to avoid criticism.

According to the number of applicants, more than 40 examination tables were set up, and 18 tables were temporarily added, and there were many onlookers, but they could only enter the courtyard outside the back door.

Those who come to participate in the selection do not need to bring paper and pencils, the governor's yamen will provide them, and there is no need to search their bodies, after all, it is not that they are not afraid of cheating in the imperial examination, and the examination questions are made by Shen Xi.

Shen Xi is the chief examiner, but he is not an invigilator, even if the work is very leisurely, he can't show it in front of the people, Zhu Qi and Ma Jiu shouldered the accusation of invigilation, Shen Xi asked people to print the exam questions, find someone to send them to the examination room, and drank tea in the lobby and waited for others to complete the test paper.

Zhu Hong saw the strangeness in the backyard, came back and said to Shen Xi: "Master, we seem to be similar to the imperial examination, I heard that those children in the Yuanmen are all tested like this." ”

Shen Xi glared at him: "Master Ben also came all the way to the exam like this, don't you know?" Go to the backyard and keep an eye on it, and if there is cheating, please go out directly. ”

Zhu Hong took the order in a huff.

Shen Xi put down the teacup, picked up the homemade quill and began to write, nothing else, it was a martial arts novel written for the bear child Zhu Houzhao.

In the past six months, he has sent six batches of martial arts novels to the capital, of which the first three batches are years of accumulation, and the latter is almost what is being written, and what he is currently writing belongs to the seventh batch.

Although it is suspected of misleading children to let Xiong children read martial arts novels, in order to make the future emperor remember him, there are still some things to do, which can be regarded as a way for Shen Xi to manage his schemes.

Children are very forgetful in the process of growing up, and a friend who has not seen each other for three years will not know each other, let alone a gentleman with an age gap and a generation gap.

……

……

The exam time is one hour, there are three questions in total, and everyone is the same, so the selection criteria are relatively clear.

When the volume was collected, Shen Xi didn't deliberately ask if there was a "female Zhuge ", but from what he had checked before, this woman should have come, but after all, she came to a public place, so wearing men's clothes, Shen Xi didn't go to the backyard, and I don't know who it was.

After the exam, the backyard began to make noise, because Shen Xi's questions were too "tricky".

The first question is the art of making a four-book text, entitled "Believing in the Book, It is Better to Have No Book", which is from "Mencius: Wholeheartedly Heart", which means that the text that records events, when there is an emphasis on over-exaggeration, the reader should be discerning, and not too much belief, so as to be harmful to righteousness.

This is what Mr. Zhong is good at, and they feel that this selection exam is nothing more than that, at most it is a hard work, and it is not much different from the college examination or the township examination.

The second question is the policy question, the topic is "teaching students according to their aptitude", which is a bit difficult for the gentleman who should take the exam, but fortunately, most of them have participated in the township test, and there is also a "policy" test in the township test, and they will be more or less exposed to some when preparing for the exam, but Shen Xi's question is too broad to make it difficult for people to answer.

The third question directly surprised many gentlemen present, Shen Xi actually came up with an "essay question", giving four paintings, and asking people to write an essay of more than 800 words based on these four paintings.

Although a scholar has spent his whole life coping with the imperial examination and doing all kinds of articles, the title of this kind of picture composition is still unique in his life, and the allusion in the picture is the well-known folk tale "Sima Guang smashes the cylinder", but it seems to be biased, because the final picture is that the cylinder is not smashed...... This is a fruitless question, in order to unleash the imagination of the person who did it.

Obviously, this is a question of historical allusion: if a seven-year-old child can smash a large water tank to save people, then there will not be so many cases in the future that he can't even break the glass at a critical moment.

Obviously, the person who wrote the story did not study how much strength a seven-year-old child can have, how big a stone can lift, and how hard the cylinder is, but just to write an unrealistic story in order to praise a powerful minister of the current dynasty, and use this kind of story to warn future generations, which is very inappropriate in Shen Xi's educational philosophy.

In history, "celebrity allusions" made up for political purposes abound, which is a small black spot in the history of education.

Now that Shen Xi has the story in front of him, you can evaluate the fact that Sima Guang smashed the cylinder but did not smash it, and see if you can break the worldly prejudices.

The gentleman I am looking for cannot be shackled by the times, at least he can be flexible like Mr. Feng.

The people in the backyard were willing to leave only after Shen Xi announced the results, after all, no one was willing to leave without even seeing the face of the governor. Zhu Qi came forward on behalf of Shen Xi and said: "Gentlemen, my lord has ordered that a thin gift has been prepared for you, and the right should be restrained, please go back!" ”

It is impossible for Shen Xi to finish reading more than fifty exam papers in a short period of time, and he needs a little time to study and compare, but in order to make the people who come to take the exam feel better, everyone will give some gifts to take back as a companion to the exam, green leaves and red flowers.

If it weren't for Shen Xi's official position there, the people who came would have scolded Shen Xi for insulting Sven, since it was an exam, it should be based on sage articles, rather than some sideways topics. Even many people didn't understand what Shen Xi's "four-panel comics" meant.

Shen Xi was taking the exam paper and looking at it, Zhu Qi came in and said, "Master, most of the people have left, but there is still a son who stayed, saying that he would wait for you, and he had a few words to say to you." ”

"No, no, no."

Shen Xi waved his hand, "Tell him that this official is busy with official business and has no time to meet guests." ”

Zhu Qi was a little embarrassed: "Master, I also told him the same, but the son said that the master had to choose him as a gentleman this time, rather than go back and wait, it was better to stay and wait for the master to see." Master, did you send someone to blow it away? ”

Shen Xi couldn't help frowning, this person was so big-mouthed, even the most famous Confucian in Guangzhou City probably didn't have the courage to say such a thing in the backyard of the Governor's Yamen.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "Invite people in, this official wants to see who has such a big mouth!" ”

"Yes, sir."

Zhu Qi shook his head helplessly and took the order.

Shen Xi thought to himself, wouldn't it be the "female Zhuge " who came to deliver the self-recommendation letter yesterday and refused to leave? Doesn't this woman know that he can decide this selection alone? He doesn't have a name, he doesn't transcribe the scroll, he still knows yesterday's font, and he can pronounce the death penalty of a scroll at any time?

Shen Xi was thinking about it, Zhu Qi came back, followed by a well-mannered son, but said that this son was very handsome, his chest was not bulging, he had an Adam's apple, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a woman dressed as a man, but he was not tall, and he was not a man who was "seven feet tall", although he was handsome, his words were slightly obscene.

Shen Xi was relieved and thought, "It turns out that it's not. ”

Such a young descendant dared to say in front of a group of old scholars that he must be chosen, which was really ridiculous and generous, and someone saluted Shen Xi and said: "In Panyu Su, Guangdong, I have seen Lord Shen." ”

Shen Xi waved his hand and motioned for Zhu to step aside first, and then lowered his head: "Master Su, you came to find this official, what's the matter?" ”

"In the inferior, Lord Shen personally ordered the west seat of your mansion." The son, surnamed Su, leaned over and replied.

"Okay, you have ambition, but what if the official doesn't point you?" Shen Xi asked.

Su Gongzi said: "If Lord Shen doesn't point to the next, he will be martyred and die in front of Lord Shen." (To be continued.) )
