The July sun is fierce, and even when the sun sets, the residual temperature is still scorching.

Bu Ru felt that his body was very cold.

He couldn't remember how he gritted his teeth and wrote the last word, or how he got to the examiner.

The moment he handed over the paper, he seemed to have been drained of his last strength and fell to the ground in a state of exhaustion.

For more than a month, he continued to read and write without sleep or food, and kept brushing questions with Zhao Fuzi, Shen Qingzhou, and Bu Shuiyun.

For more than a month, he didn't know how to eat, and he slept less than three hours a day, because he remembered the promise he had made and the promise he made to his wife.

He no longer wants to be bullied, and he doesn't want to see his wife in a daze and helpless figure.

After Qi Renming bullied the door that day, he couldn't say a word when he saw her weak back, and when he walked to the bedroom dejectedly, his heart seemed to be cut by a knife.

Therefore, he must do well in the exam.

He longed to stand on a higher place, with broader and stronger shoulders, to hold up a piece of the sky for his wife.

The moment he handed in the exam papers, he suddenly felt relieved, and he took four exams in a row, the first of which lasted a day and a half, and it was a night in the exam.

The next three exams each lasted a whole day, and in the past few days, countless children were exhausted and fainted in the examination room.

Now, can't you support it?

But fortunately, at least I have persevered until now, not to mention whether I can be admitted or not, at least I have worked hard.

The moment he fell, he seemed to hear the chaotic exclamations around him, but his heart was very stable.

…………

When Youyou woke up, he saw Master Zhao, Shen Qingzhou and Bu Shuiyun all in the room.

"I ...... What's going on? Why am I so weak? Bu Ru looked around and asked weakly.

A teenager from a car dealer helped him up and told him to sit up.

Shen Qingzhou smiled and walked over and said; "You're fine, I've called doctors over for the past two days, and they all say that you are overtired, and you suddenly decompress and cause lethargy, and the reason why you are weak is because you haven't eaten for two days."

Bu Shuiyun laughed; "Old nephew, you can really sleep, you slept for two days and two nights, tsk."

Bu Ru scratched his head shyly, so he went to wash up, drank two glasses of water, and had dinner ready.

The next two days are the days when the results are announced, during this time, some people will be very tormented inside, and some people will be very relaxed, but no matter what kind of mood they are in, they will change after these two days.

Whether it is suffering or relaxing, it is possible to be ecstatic, or it is possible to be lost or sad.

Early in the morning of July 28, the fifth day of the exam.

In the hall of the government office, more than a dozen marking officers sat on both sides, and these marking officers were all from various counties or neighboring counties.

To be able to become a county parable, at least more than one person must be raised, not to mention anything else, the ability to write Bagu Wen is definitely not weak.

And since most people are high-eyed, if you can write an article with a score of six, you can at least appreciate an article with a score of eight.

Therefore, as a grader, reading children's articles, these people are completely qualified.

In the middle of the lobby are the prefect of Linhe and the great master Inspector Mei.

After four days of hard work by more than a dozen people, nearly 2,000 examination papers were finally read at this time, and the number of places to be taken was roughly agreed, and this time there were a total of 55 places.

Now the final job is to determine the ranking, and after the ranking, you can go to announce the list at noon.

"Lord Mei, Lord Wang, these exam papers are the best we recognize." An old teacher took a stack of test papers and put them on the main hall case.

This parable's surname is He, and it is the parable of Linhe Prefecture, which is one level higher than the parables of many counties.

The prefect of the palace known as Lord Wang was a young and vigorous scribe in his forties, who looked suave and elegant, and had the demeanor of a famous man.

It is said that he is a native of Jiangnan, and belongs to a famous family in the local area, and many high-ranking officials and writers emerged in the family during the Great Yong Dynasty, and the whole family is a scientific research master.

He moved the test paper to Inspector Mei, as the deputy examiner, he couldn't be the first to read it.

Inspector Mei was not polite, picked up the first test paper and read it.

He had read the 55-point test paper once, but when everyone rated it as the best, he naturally had to read it again carefully.

Pick up the first paper with seven punctuation marks on the frontispiece.

In ancient times, in order to prevent fraud, each grader could not leave words after judging the article, and could only replace them with symbols.

These symbols are "circle", "point", "point", "straight", "fork" and so on, that is, draw "○", "△", "丨", "×" five symbols.

The first symbol is drawn by the first reading officer, after the first reading officer draws a symbol, if it is a point, point or circle, it will be handed over to the review officer behind, and the review officer will be six, each person will draw a symbol after reading it, judge the grade of the article, and finally select the first article according to the symbol level.

There is also a point to be noted here that although everyone's aesthetics are different, the difference in scoring should not be too large, for example, the first reviewer gives a point, and then the second reviewer gives a straight, then the third can't give a circle.

Otherwise, the difference is too big,

If it is found that there is too much difference in the evaluation of the same paper, it is necessary to send another minister to check the test to prevent "each with prejudices and the disadvantages of being up and down." ”

It is precisely because of this restriction that the circle on the same roll is often not straight, and the tip is not crossed.

Otherwise, the examiner will also be easily punished.

Now the inspector and the deputy chief examiner of the prefect draw two symbols, and then the ranking is determined by the person with the most circles.

If there are as many circles, you will see the point, and if there are as many points, you will see the point.

Inspector Mei read the article very quickly, and after he finished reading it, he gave it to the prefect Wang, and soon finished typing the symbols, and then assessed the head of the case.

"The article on this exam paper is really good, it's very old and spicy, and it takes at least twenty or thirty years of immersion in articles to write such an article.

"Well, Lord Wang is right, I read this article yesterday, and I was originally drowsy and refreshed."

"Yes, yes." Several teachings have been patted on the back.

"He's the one in charge?!" Governor Wang handed over the test paper to Inspector Mei.

Inspector Mei nodded. Put the exam papers first.

"Next, choose the five classics." He Jiaoyu sorted it out, picked out a few of the nine copies that he had selected before, picked a few more copies into it, and put ten copies together and sent them up.

Teach the way of reverence; "Among the five classics, there are two copies here, and the two adults will take a look."

Inspector Mei nodded, and together with Wang Zhifu, he quickly selected the poet classic, the spring and autumn season, the university leader, and the middle moderation leader.

At this time, Lord Wang asked strangely; "Inspector Mei, you have already read two volumes of Shangshu just now, why did you throw them away again?"
