Kaifeng Mansion, mention the Yamen. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Tixue sat behind the bookcase, holding an exam paper in his hand and carefully reviewing it.

As the chief examiner of this college examination, Wu Pengyun is not responsible for reviewing all the papers, but only reads some relatively high-quality articles sent by other markers.

There are also 1 professor of government schools in Kaifeng Prefecture, 4 state school professors from 4 prefectures under its jurisdiction, and 28 county school teachers from various counties. In addition, it is the instructors of the Confucian Department who are responsible for the obfuscation and transcription of the examination papers.

This is the real drudgery, nearly 600 volumes, just the amount of work to blur the name and transcribe is not small, Wu Tixue gave them only one day.

When the instructors are done with their work, and the instructors have returned from eating and drinking, they will start to mark the examination papers.

The scoring team of more than 30 people is actually not small, and the workload is not very large. As long as they have completed the nearly 600 papers of this college examination, they will be considered to have completed their errand. On average, each priest only needs to read 20 papers.

But this kind of errand is not something that everyone will take seriously, although the number of candidates for the second college exam has dropped sharply, and there are only 580 people left in the thousands, but it is not so easy to mark the papers of the two college exams in a row. The main reason is that there are too many candidates in the first session, and the teachers are a little tired.

Everyone has the heart to deal with it, and they won't be so serious when they read the papers, but they only glance at it twice, and if they think the article is too bad, they will draw a cross directly, and if the article is not bad, just draw a circle on the paper, and such a volume will be handed over to the school officer for review.

It only took them a short time to sift through more than 400 papers, leaving a day and a half for Wu Tixue to review.

These teachers basically accepted some gifts from the candidates, so they naturally wanted to do some "practical things". But in order to prevent fraud, the imperial court did not let the examiners recognize the candidates' handwriting, and all the papers were transcribed in a vague name, and they couldn't remove the seal at all, what should I do?

It doesn't matter, we relaxed the conditions to let you pass this level, whether you can enter the eyes of the scholar or not, it depends on your own articles.

Therefore, after the second round of screening, there are still more than 400 exam papers with two circles, which makes it difficult for the student officer.

However, Kaifeng Mansion was originally going to admit two or three hundred people, and it would not work if it didn't get so many. Of course, if Wu Tixue only selected a hundred people, and the rest of the articles were poorly written, he would not be admitted in order to make up the numbers.

Wu Tixue's workload is so great that he can't read many people's articles in detail at all, as long as the papers that are not satisfactory to him are placed on the right, which means that the candidates for this paper were not selected in the first round.

It's not that the examiner is irresponsible, it's just that the time for him to mark the papers is too short, and there are too many exam papers.

In fact, Wu Tixue is a more responsible person, as long as the problem meets the standards, he will carefully read the paper. As a result, there is no time to sleep at all the next night, because the list will be released at noon on the third day.

If you change to another student officer, how can you stay up late in order to mark the papers?

Wu Tixue's face was a little tired at the moment, but he still insisted on looking at the candidate's papers.

I saw him nod slightly, then shook his head again, put the exam paper in his hand in the admission paper on the left, and then picked up the next exam paper for review.

He has almost finished reading this year's volume, and there are no articles that can make his eyes shine.

Wu Tixue patiently continued to review, and after seeing the first four-book question of this exam paper, his pupils shrank slightly, and he continued to read it very seriously, his lips moved lightly, and he unconsciously recited softly along with the article.

After reading it again, Wu Tixue read the four-book question again from the beginning, and it took a lot of effort, and finally couldn't help but praise it out loud: "Okay, very good, I finally found an article that can be elegant, the writing is very spicy, and the old man will point to your case today!" ”

After the words fell, he simply glanced at the second Pentateuch question, and found that the writing was really good, so he directly opened the seal of this volume, and the seat number of "T-shaped Qi" appeared. As long as he recognizes this file, no one will be able to do anything about this case.

Several of the teachers sitting on the side also gathered around, taking turns to look at the paper that was the first of Wu Tixue's points, and after reading it, they all nodded again and again, these two articles are indeed very well written, and even they feel ashamed of themselves.

It can be imagined from this that when the first person in the hospital examination takes the township examination next year, there is a great possibility of winning the list.

Soon, the first round of marking was completed. Wu Tixue picked up the more than 100 exam papers stacked on the left, took the exam paper at the head of the case and put it on the top, handed it to the errand officer waiting on the side, asked him to open the seal first, and then looked at the paper on the right.

Lu Cheng didn't want to get back a daughter-in-law in such a daze, so he took advantage of his little cousin's bathing and begged his mother bitterly, asking her not to talk about this family business for herself.

Unexpectedly, Wang glanced at him and said, "Mother, isn't this for your good?" What's so bad about your mother, and is it so disgusting to you? In the past few years, our Lu family has always relied on the help of the Wang family to come over, don't be ignorant. Besides, even if we are willing, my mother will not look down on our family. ”

When Lu Cheng heard this, he hurriedly followed his mother's words and said, "Yes, mother, people don't look down on our family, do they?" I don't think you should mention this to your uncle. ”

"How?"

Wang glared at him dissatisfied: "Your cousin is young and ignorant, why did you let her sleep in the same bed with you?" Can this daughter's name be so easily forgotten? ”

Lu Cheng made her speechless when she asked, so she had to obediently shut her mouth and resign herself to fate.

It's not that he dislikes Wang Xueyuan, the other party really doesn't look bad, but he is still too young, 14 years old, this is in his previous life, but he is just a middle school student, Lu Cheng can't treat him as a future daughter-in-law.

Marrying such a young daughter-in-law back, I'm afraid communication will be a problem, right?

Psychologically, Lu Cheng still prefers women around 20 years old, and only at such an age can he be regarded as a good match with himself. Again, he doesn't plan to remarry so early now, thinking that he will think about such a problem when he has achieved something.

Originally, Lu Cheng planned to go to Fucheng today to watch the list, if he could really be admitted to Xiucai, he would fulfill his promise and invite Zhang Jun to come out for a drink.

Thinking about it, I don't think it's necessary, if it's really hit, the messenger who announces the good news will also come to the door. If there is no messenger to report the good news, it is a failure, and he has no face to meet his friends.

After breakfast, Lu Cheng continued to teach his cousin to learn the "Female Analects", but the atmosphere was much stranger than yesterday.

It can't be helped, something like this happened, and both of them were a little unnatural. Lu Chengjiao is absent-minded, and Wang Xueyuan is not serious enough.

The study of the second article is a bit long, and according to the normal speed, it will take two or three days to learn, so Lu Cheng will not force it, and will teach it slowly in several paragraphs.

After teaching Wang Xueyuan to read it a few times and explaining it again, Lu Cheng let her read it alone, while he continued to practice calligraphy on the side.

"Bang-"

There was a sudden sound outside the door, and then Zhao Yulong's voice came: "Lu Cheng, you get out of here!" ”

Immediately after, Lu Cheng heard his mother's voice: "Zhao Gongzi, what are you going to do?" ”
