Although Shen Ze had nothing to do, and the test paper had already been completed, and there was nothing to change, he did not hand in the paper.

It's not that Shen Ze doesn't want to hand in the papers, but because the stipulated time for handing in the papers hasn't come yet. This township test cannot be submitted in advance like the county test and the government test, and it can only be handed in when it is unitary. Because once this test paper is handed in, it will be sealed and transcribed immediately, and these are all carried out in a unified manner.

Shen Ze had no choice but to put the test papers in the examination basket, leaning against the wall of the number room and half-lying there to think about life.

Although he was a little bored, Shen Ze's mood was not as irritable as yesterday. Because this exam question did not surprise him, it was indeed the question in his memory, "Do things with the Tao, you can't stop", and his exam-taking essay had already been prepared, and the exam was easy, so he was naturally in a good mood.

Shen Ze's eldest brother, Gao Yu, is also the head of the Qingzhou Prefecture Examination, and this level must be the top among the candidates in the entire Shandong who participated in this township examination. Moreover, this article was made by Gao Yu after pondering for a long time and after several carvings, this article is naturally not bad, so Shen Ze feels that he is still very sure that he will be selected this time.

Although there are three examinations in this township examination, the marking officer basically uses the four books and texts of this first examination as the reference standard.

This is mainly because there are too many test papers for the township examination, and the time for the release of the list is very tight, because according to the regulations, the marking work must be completed by the end of August!

That is to say, from the end of the exam to the end of marking, there is only less than half a month, and the time for sealing, transcription, and division is actually just over ten days left for the marking officer to review the candidates' test papers.

In addition to the first test of the four book questions and the five scripture questions, the second test also has to be examined, five sentences, one for the internal department, and one for the third session, and there are five questions on current affairs and policy during the entire township examination, and basically every candidate has to answer more than a dozen test papers during the entire township examination, and there are 3,200 candidates in the entire Shandong Six Prefectures plus the Liaodong Prefecture to participate in the township examination, which means that at least tens of thousands of test papers are for these examiners to review!

In a period of more than ten days, it is really difficult for these graders to review these tens of thousands of test papers. Therefore, it is too difficult for these graders to judge each paper in all aspects.

Therefore, the common rule of the township examination in the Ming provinces is that when choosing the quality of the examination paper, it is basically to start with the four books, and the quality of the four books is used as the basis for judging the candidates' results. A few responsible, or will look at the Pentateuch. As for the content of the last two exams, these markers themselves are not very familiar with these contents, and they don't have the time to read through them, so it is naturally impossible to talk about the merits of this judgment.

Therefore, the most important thing in this township test is the first one, and the next two can be improvised, because it has nothing to do with the overall situation. As long as the first four book questions are done, as long as the next two are not taboo, there will be no problem.

In the first game of this township test, Shen Ze's four books and essays were very good, and there was a great possibility of winning the lift, so he was naturally very happy, and now he felt that he had won the title!

Therefore, it is a little boring in this house today, but it will not make Shen Ze too crazy. When Shen Ze was in this trance, he thought about the appearance of his eldest brother when he saw the exam questions of the four books, and he didn't know what kind of wonderful expression he had?!

I don't know how long this boredom lasted, Shen Ze finally waited for the gong to sound at the time of the unitary.

As the gong sounded, Shen Ze saw the figure on the upper floor of Mingyuan, and the examiners above began to move.

Soon many curtain officials in charge of the roll came down from the Mingyuan Tower, and they began to roll up!

Many candidates who had already taken the test papers last night had been waiting impatiently, and when they heard the sound of the gong, they called out to the soldiers guarding the door, asking them to call these collectors to come and collect the papers.

At this time, most of the candidates who handed in the papers were candidates who thought they had done a good job and no longer needed to be checked. Of course, there are also some candidates who really can't do it, and they can hand in the papers early and feel at ease.

However, at this time, although the receiver began to collect the papers, the candidates who submitted the papers at this time were all voluntarily submitted, and all candidates were not required to submit the papers. The rules in this courtyard are that candidates can answer the paper until the evening, and the candidate must hand in the paper until the candle in the house is extinguished.

Shen Ze had been waiting a little impatiently, and when he saw that he could hand in the papers, he immediately asked the soldiers at the door of the house to call a collector to collect the papers.

The soldiers guarding outside the house listened to Shen Ze's words, and immediately called the outer curtain officer who was in charge of collecting the papers over and accepted his test papers!

Shen Ze handed over the test paper from the hole in the door of the house, and looked through the hole, until he was sure that the rectifier had placed his paper in the wooden box, and then he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, outside the house, the outer curtain officer is busy, the inspector inspects the examination room, the officer in charge of the examination paper is responsible for collecting the paper and filing the case for future reference, the sealing officer is responsible for the candidate's answer sheet is named, the transcription officer is responsible for transcribing the name of the examination paper, and the reader is responsible for checking whether the transcription result is correct.

Both the transcription officer and the reading officer should sign the transcription of the test paper to ensure that the candidate's test paper is transcribed and proofread correctly.

After these are completed, the transcribed exam papers will be sent to the hands of the inner curtain officer, and the same examiner in the inner curtain official will review it!

These fellow examiners who are the marking officers do not uniformly mark the test papers of these township test candidates, but are divided into five classic rooms, and the same examiners in each room separately mark the test papers of the candidates in their own room and select the examination papers in the middle of the examination.

Candidates will be sent to the corresponding Five Classics room according to the scriptures they have registered. For example, if a candidate's scripture is "Shangshu", his test paper will be distributed to the "Shangshu" room.

According to the number of undergraduate candidates and the number of candidates in each room, the admission quota of this room is determined according to a certain proportion, and then the best are admitted. There are many candidates in this room, and the number of places admitted to it will naturally increase. That is to say, no matter which scripture the candidate applies for as the scripture, the probability of being selected is actually the same, because the number of people in this room is determined according to the proportion of the number of candidates to all candidates.

The candidate's test paper will first be selected by the examiner in the same room from the candidate's examination paper, and submitted to the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner, and then the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner will give their opinions respectively, and finally select the admission list and arrange the ranking.

In the end, when the candidates who were selected from each room were ranked, they were uniformly arranged, but the top five were exceptions.

Because this township test is divided into five scriptures, and the first name of each scripture is the leader of the five classics, that is, the leader of the scriptures! And there is a convention in this township examination, the first to fifth places in each township examination must be the first and second in the examination. In other words, the top five are not uniformly sent according to this result, but the top five are ranked according to the results of the "Jingkui" of these five rooms. Even if there are several people in the same room who do very well in their articles, they all hope to enter the top five, but even if your articles are good, as long as you are not the leader of the room, then you can only rank sixth.

Of course, in addition to the name of this Xie Yuan, the ranking of this township test is not too important, in fact, even the ranking of the examination is not too important, only the ranking of this palace test is the key to the success of this career! Therefore, although these top candidates all hope to get a good ranking, if the ranking is not very good, as long as they can win the lifting and get the qualification for the examination, these candidates are also acceptable, and they don't care too much about the ranking of the township examination.

………………

Although Shen Ze handed in the test papers, he still couldn't get out of the house, and only tomorrow morning would the Gongyuan open the dragon gate and let the candidates leave the Gongyuan.

Shen Ze had no choice but to eat something, then put the two planks flat, and continued to distract in the half-lying down there to cope with this boring night.

finally survived until the next morning, and the dragon gate of the Gongyuan was finally opened, and the candidates could finally appear.

Shen Ze went out of the house and went to find his eldest brother first. After the two of them left the tribute courtyard together, they went straight to the courtyard of the Gao family, and they didn't care about eating, so they went back to the room and fell asleep.

Shen Ze and Gao Yu have been living quite well, some of them are well-nourished, they haven't suffered much, and they have slept on the planks in the house of the Gongyuan for the past two nights, which makes them very uncomfortable, they all sleep extremely badly, and their bodies are as uncomfortable as falling apart.

slept until the evening, and then Shen Ze came out of the door in full spirit.

When Shen Ze came to the courtyard, he saw Gao Yu drinking tea at the stone table under the golden laurel tree in the courtyard, and Hongrui and Green Calyx were cooking tea in a small red clay stove next to him.

Gao Yu couldn't help but smile when he saw Zhong Hao: "Wen Hao, you slept deep enough this night, sleeping from morning to evening!" Hurry up and take a sip of tea first, there are not many silver needles in this old high Junshan, and if you don't drink it again, it will be gone! ”

Seeing this, Shen Ze went straight to sit down on the stone bench next to the stone table, picked up a cup of tea, drank it all, and then took the pastries on the stone table and stuffed a few pieces into his mouth. After a day of sleep, this stomach feels really hungry and thirsty.

Gao Yu looked at Zhong Hao's appearance, thought about himself again, and couldn't help but laugh a little: "I used to hear my predecessors say that this township exam is like going through a prison ordeal, and my brother still thinks that they are exaggerating, but now I have experienced it myself, and I feel that what they said is really not a lie!" ”

Shen Ze picked up the new tea that Hongrui had just poured for him, drank it again, and then said, "Who said it wasn't, staying in this house for two nights is even more uncomfortable than going to prison." I used to hear the fifth brother Gao say that this pair of soldiers who made mistakes in the army, this confinement is a heavier punishment than hitting the board, and the younger brother still doesn't believe it. Now that I have lived in the house for two days, I feel that the words of this fifth brother are really not a lie! ”

Gao Yu listened to Shen Ze's words, and nodded in agreement at the moment.

However, Shen Ze's expression immediately changed, and he said with a smile: "Fortunately, our brother will take the test in this township once." Squatting for a few days, changing the title of a lifter, is not in vain. Hehe, big brother, are you confident in taking the test this time?! ”

Gao Yu listened to Shen Ze's words, and the expression on his face suddenly became very rich.

Before Gao Yu took this township test, he had long known the four-book question question of "Tao is the king, it cannot be stopped", and under Shen Ze's flickering, he had already done this exam question countless times, and this township test naturally made a piece of article that he thought was excellent, and he felt that he still had a good hope of fighting for this solution.

Although there is no direct effect on the ranking of this township test, the aura of Xie Yuan is still very attractive, and with this aura of Xie Yuan, its indirect impact is still very great. Gao Yu thinks that his skills are enough to be worthy of the title of Xie Yuan, and he is still very eager for this Xie Yuan.

But Gao Yu is honest and honest, and he is a little embarrassed to compete for Xie Yuan for this trick, and feels that even if he gets the title of Xie Yuan, it is a bit of a trick.

Of course, although Gao Yu is honest and honest, he is by no means pedantic, when he was in the examination room, when he saw this exam question, he directly took out the most satisfactory article he had thought about before. He didn't say that he didn't use this most satisfactory article for the sake of having a clear conscience in his heart.

But Shen Ze knew that he knew that he knew the four-book question question of "Doing things with Taoism, you can't stop it", so Gao Yu was a little embarrassed to hear him ask such a question.

The expression on Gao Yu's face changed for a while, and then he said with a slight embarrassment: "Hehe, this Xie Yuan, there is still hope to fight for my brother!" ”

Shen Ze listened to Gao Yu's words and said with a smile: "It seems that the eldest brother is very confident in this exam, in that case, the younger brother is afraid that he can only compete for this 'Yakui', and the top five are no play!" "Shen Ze and Gao Yu's scriptures are both "Spring and Autumn", so they naturally belong to the "Spring and Autumn" room. This Gao Yu consciously has hope to solve the yuan, then he must be the first to win the "Spring and Autumn" room, and Shen Zecai said that he boasted that he could only fight for this "Yakui". This is not one of the "five kui", naturally the top five are no play!

Gao Yu looked at Shen Ze, Shen Ze looked at Gao Yu, and the two of them suddenly laughed.

Gao Yu laughed for a while, and then said, "Aren't we a little invincible in this exam?!" ”

Shen Ze smiled: "What's so good about this?!" This question was guessed by us, and it was not obtained by bribing the examiner! This can guess the exam questions, naturally because we are lucky. This good luck has always been part of this scientific examination, otherwise why do many talented people always fail the test, without him, their luck is not good. This is the right question to guess the exam, and we are destined to be the one who should be selected! ”

Gao Yu smiled bitterly: "This is Wen Hao, you guessed, but not for my brother." Brother Wei always felt that this exam was a bit of a victory. However, this question is really Wen Hao, you guessed?! How the hell did you do that?! ”

Shen Ze listened to Gao Yu's words, and couldn't help but pretend to be profound: "Big brother, you forgot, the younger brother has a name called Yin Yang Shenju, you should give this name for nothing?!" The younger brother really has some research on this week's Yihe Hetu Luoshu, so he can mix such a name. This trick of divination, the younger brother is really proficient, and it is not difficult to calculate the exam questions of this subject! ”

Gao Yu couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly when he saw Shen Ze looking like a god stick, and his words were not true. Anyway, although Shen Ze has something to hide, he has absolutely no ill will towards him, and he also told him this exam question, he doesn't have to get to the bottom of it, maybe people don't tell the truth, it is indeed a natural opportunity that cannot be leaked!
