The young man unfolded the silk book in his hand and read it aloud to the students. The college examination is jointly organized by the Department of Scholars and Bailu Academy, but in the final analysis, the people on the list are still reviewed and determined by the Department of Scholars. There is nothing else, just because Bailu Academy is an official school, and most of the masters in it are also official scholars.

Listening to such an order, there was silence at first, and then a thunderous discussion erupted.

"Have you found out, every year the people who become the editor of the Zhenwen Academy are those children of the poor family!"

"Every year, I compile the "Hundred Ce Collection", and every year someone becomes the editor of the Academy of Letters, but there has never been a time when it has been so formal. Furthermore, why are those poor ghost scholars who participated in the compilation of "Baice Collection" this year? Look at it, especially Shi Ao, who is ranked ninety-fourth, he is almost too poor to wear clothes! ”

Many people have discovered a problem that seems to have plagued them for so many years that it has accumulated to this day, and finally they can't help it, and it wants to explode in an instant.

"Humph! It must be the adults of the Scholars Division! Why can you only be a poor student, go to the Academy of Literature, and participate in the editing? ”

Dissatisfaction continues to pervade. Among them, more or less after those famous families.

Every year, the Department of Scholars organizes relevant personnel to compile these strategies into a booklet and submit them to the masters of the academy for careful evaluation. At the same time, it will also be sent to every student on the list, so that they can learn the writing skills of others.

According to the experience of previous years, at least half of the hundreds of students on the list will be able to pass the joint entrance examination and finally take the county examination. It's an opportunity to learn from each other and to promote exchanges between them.

The problem is that when the Department of Scholars organizes personnel to compile the "Hundred Ce Collection", because of the shortage of manpower, they will choose to appoint some students as editors to engage in the compilation of the "Hundred Ce Collection". In other words, it is necessary to transfer some students to work for the Bachelor's Division.

To put it more bluntly, editing this errand is actually a short-term official job. However, whether it is short-term or long-term, as long as it is an official, it is an experience for those who want to take the road of the imperial examination.

What's more, editing is originally an official position in the Academy of Letters, and being able to get such an appointment can temper the ability to be an official, although this is just an official rank that has not entered the rank; Second, it can be shown that the student has been valued by the director of the Department of Scholars, and he will inevitably be taken care of more in the future on the road to the imperial examination.

This kind of care does not refer to favoritism and malpractice in the joint entrance examination and county examination, but will give priority to some excellent articles and theories to these students for appreciation. Even, there will be some famous scholars who come to study and teach, and these students will be given priority to attend the lectures.

That's an educational resource, and who doesn't want it? As long as the students are on the road to the imperial examination, they will have a strong desire for this kind of opportunity.

However, many times, this desire is unattainable. Because, the official of the Academy of Literature is not decided by the students, but by Ge Wenqiu, the director of the Department of Scholars.

Many years ago, when Ge Wenqiu was not yet the director of the Xining Town Scholars, the position of editor of the Academy of Literature was often held by the top few, regardless of background. However, since Ge Wenqiu came, this matter has changed, as if Ge Wenqiu has an unusual prejudice against students from famous families. Whenever the Academy of Literature was appointed to edit it, it was the children of the poor who fished it out.

Therefore, year after year, many people have accumulated resentment in their hearts, and at this moment, all of them have exploded.

The young man at the head of the group, listening to the dissatisfied voices of the crowd, frowned, he naturally understood why Ge Wenqiu did this, but he couldn't express it accurately.

"What's the noise? Can't understand what Lord Si Zheng said? Do you want me to repeat it again? ”

His shouting reached everyone's ears, and the noisy chatter soon fell silent. In the face of absolute power, those unhappy students can only suppress this dissatisfaction in their hearts. Even though they are desperate for such an opportunity, they can only be helpless in the face of the Judges.

Suddenly, the eyes of the young man led by him were aimed at one place: "Qin Yike, who is at the top of the list?" ”

"The students are here!"

Qin Yi knew that the direction in which the young man was looking was where he was. Listening to his question, Qin Yi quickly walked out of the crowd. At this time, people's eyes were full of envy and jealousy. They know what's going to happen next. According to the usual practice, the person who ranks first in the academy examination will be received by the Master of the Scholar Division, or even by the Lord of the Town.

"According to the old practice, there is no need to say more!" In just a few words, some key messages are conveyed.

"Yes!"

Qin Yi arched his hand, and the young man led by him saw this, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and he raised his feet to leave the position in front of the gate. Seeing this, Qin Yi followed closely.

Suddenly, on the same place, only the Chen family and the Zheng family were left. At this time, the two families were staring at each other, and no one was convinced, obviously neither of them expected this situation in front of them.

The news of the release of the college examination results spread like lightning throughout the town. The first name is Qin Yi's information, and naturally it has also reached the ears of many people.

"I really didn't expect that Zhong Yi, the second protector of the Qin family in Xicheng, would actually get the first place? This time, the Qin family is famous! ”

"Let's go, go to Qin's house and have a look! First, I will be happy for Qin, and I can also make a long face for our poor people! Let those rich people see, who said that the poor family can't produce geniuses? This Qin Yi is an excellent proof! ”

At this time, the Qin family in Xicheng Erbao, there were many people sitting in the courtyard who came to say goodbye, and at the gate of the courtyard, the people who came in and out did not seem to stop.

In the courtyard, Qin Yi's brother Qin Jia, as well as Qin Yi's parents, were hurriedly receiving these guests. Although some of them are not very familiar to them, the hospitable nature has not disappeared because of strangeness.

"Qin Jiaerlang is out this time!"

"My daughter is just reaching the age of marriage, I wonder if you are willing to come and propose?"

"Erlang has been admitted to the first place, if he can pass the county exam in the future, it is very possible to become an official in Xining Town! If that time comes, please take care of our family! ”

"I heard that Zhong Yi Erlang of your family was also appointed by Master Ge of the Scholars Department to be the editor of the Academy of Literature! In this way, someone in your Qin family will be an official, and you will be able to get ahead in the future! ”

These words were naturally heard by Qin Yi's parents, and their faces showed a look of pride.

At the same time, the official office of the Xining Town Scholar Department was ......
