Chapter 312: The Wheel of Autumn Blossom (2)
Volume 1 Bully Me, Insult Me, I Can't Bear Chapter 312 The Wheel of Autumn Blossom (2)
As soon as I got on stage, I saw acquaintances. Because it is the relationship between the examiner and the examinees, I do not β say hello.
The other party hadn't seen her for a while, and it was more surprising than her to suddenly meet here. Her eyes moved with her, and she couldn't listen to the rules repeated by the courtesy.
Mo Zi annoyed him, rubbed against his table, and said in an official tone, "No. 18, pay attention to the rules, violators will be disqualified on the spot." β
That person, that is, Min Song, looked at her with his eyes, and he couldn't talk back but had to swallow his anger.
Mo Zi narrowed her eyes as if she was nearsighted, and snorted old-fashionedly.
The ceremonial official finally finished reading the long regulations, and introduced Mo Zi to the dozen or so people, "This is the emperor's personal seal of the ship department to supervise the Song female official, and it is also the official who made the mold today." Everyone, pay attention, and then it's up to Lord Song to decide. "Anyway, go down quickly, don't want to stay longer.
Recently, it has been rumored that Mo Zi is an official. It's just that everyone didn't expect that they would directly confront them. Those who are from a hard background are okay, and those who are a little more arrogant have no contempt on their faces.
There was a muttering under Mo Zi's eyelids, "Letting a woman test me is simply breaking the rules of the ancestors." It's a test, but it's a joke. Unlucky! β
Mo Zi has always been able to endure it, listening to it in his ears, he didn't care, and he entered the opening remarks loudly, "Mo Zi is an official at the beginning, the emperor is trusted, and his colleagues in Shangguan have high hopes. Although I have no experience, I have not been able to refer to the past in a hurry, so I will do my best. β
Speaking of this, two people in official uniforms appeared in their sight, walking slowly.
That's a long time ago for the master of lΓΉ noodles. Generally at the beginning, in order to make an impression on the emperor, he will say a long period of boasting. Moreover, Mo Zi is sure to delay the time and wait for them to come to the stage, otherwise who will prepare the exam questions for her? Therefore, do not rush.
"Today's test is the last one, one out of five, it is not easy, I wish you all a smooth pass. Now, let's get started. Mo Zi smiled and said in a voice that the audience could hear, "Lord Zheng, please bring the exam questions." β
The faces of the two masters who received the benefits and wanted to fix the black purple changed and looked at each other and didn't understand what was going on.
Gonggong Liu said to the emperor in a loud voice, "Lord Song, the emperor asked, why don't you see the two auxiliary officials?" β
Ink purple back; "Your Majesty, the two officials are lazy and lazy, and the ministers will be sent afterwards."
The Emperor said directly; "Don't wait for the aftermath, I'll allow Song Qing to play now. First remove the names of the two masters, and put two more to fill the vacancies. The cause of the dereliction of duty will be ascertained before he is convicted. β
The two of them suddenly softened. I thought that this woman didn't dare to take what they did, who knew that she actually participated in a copy of them in front of so many people. The emperor also allowed it to play. So, he hurriedly knelt in the direction of the emperor, kowtowed and shouted forgiveness.
There was a buzz in the tents, obviously I didn't expect that before the exam started, there would be a bustle.
At this time, both the Emperor and Mo Zi ignored it.
The ship's secretary was downcast, and said to the deputy secretary, "This woman is very cunning, and she has damaged the two of us in vain." β
Deputy Si Zheng sighed, "It's also the people above who misestimated this woman's ability, no wonder we." β
Let's talk about these test craftsmen. The youngest is Min Song. Most of the others are in their thirties and forties. The oldest is an old man with a flower beard, and the roster says six out of fifty.
Once admitted to the master craftsman, he will be sealed as the general of the Ministry of Works and the official positions of each department. Those with excellent grades can be the master craftsman, and they are directly the fifth grade. This is inherited by the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, in addition to the scientific examination of martial arts, another way to become an official.
As soon as the examiners heard this, there were two more places, and they didn't care so much about Mo Zi's role as the questioner. In the final analysis, the title is awarded by the emperor himself, and it doesn't matter who makes the question. If she doesn't understand at all, she can come up with some easy questions, and they'll be fine.
For the first time, Zheng Wen was under the direct gaze of the emperor and the most dignitaries of the Great Zhou, and he was a little scramble to serve a tray, and he almost overturned the plate when he put it on the table.
Fortunately, Dr. Qi was reluctant, and finally helped the handle and put the plate steady.
Mo Zixin said, this one turned out to be hard-mouthed and soft-hearted. After thinking about it, he reached out and took off the red cloth from the tray and announced the topic of molding.
"Two sets of models must be completed within the time limit. No additional measuring tools are available, only by sight and feel. Each person only has one chance to touch the mold. Both sets are exactly the same as my mold, and you can pass this level directly. If there is a set of discrepancies, submit them to the reviewer for a three-day review. If the two sets do not match, they will be eliminated. β
After reading the model on the plate, many people couldn't help laughing, thinking that it was really a layman, and the question was so simple. There was a lot of talk among the people who came to watch the game, and they seemed to find it too difficult.
The mould is five general-sized round wheels with evenly spaced tines along the edge. Among them, hexagonal holes are dug in the head and tail gear logs, and the middle three are round holes in the middle of the hole o, there is neither a sè nor an extra pattern, just a log.
Min Song looked at the mold, then looked at Mo Zi, frowned and pursed his lips and shook his head slightly, so he almost asked her what she meant.
Mo Zi sat down on the Taishi chair behind the table and casually tapped the corner of her eye with her index finger. As for whether Min Song can understand it, she can't care.
Si Zheng was the most happy, "I said what kind of insight women can have." I can rub those five wheels, so why do I need these skilled craftsmen to do it? He has compassion on some people, and they all carve what they look like. The feathers of a bird in the sky can be a fish in the water, and the scales can be simulated. This woman is going to make a fool of herself, and even the emperor can't speak for her. β
Mo Zi's colleagues in the ship division all laughed badly.
One by one, the examiners went up to look at the gears. Most people mean to glance at it a few times, and roughly measure one or two with their hands. There are four, including Min Song and Fifty-six Old Men, who look more carefully, and they are reluctant to put the gears in their hands as soon as they hold them, and they chase them away one by one, and they don't even dare to be careless in the hexagonal hole.
Mo Zi saw it in his eyes and nodded secretly. This question seems to be not difficult, but the test is a comprehensive use of eyesight, brainpower, hand power and self-confidence, which is a highly accurate technique, and it is not just like it. More than half of this group of people are not without self-confidence, but they are overconfident and despise her too much, so much so that she can almost predict that most of them will be eliminated directly, without waiting for the comprehensive results to come out.
"Done?" She received a lot of impatient glances, smiled and nodded, and suddenly covered the five gears with a cloth, "Then let's start." β
And the little eunuchs came up and separated the tables of the examiners with curtains, and brought tools and timber according to the list they had made, and the people who were watching the commotion heard the axes and saws clattering to work.
Next, it was two hours of waiting.
Still, the wait isn't boring. The emperor took his ministers to hunt for winter, and the ladies ate tea and chatted to enjoy the winter scenery. Mo Zi could hear laughter, piano and horns in her small tent, and as the question maker, she wanted to show fairness and justice, so she couldn't go anywhere. Zanjin and Ding Gou are getting better and better, and the two play flying chess. Zheng Xiaopang and Dr. Qi also play chess, high-end points, Go. It's a pity that she doesn't know how to play mahjong, otherwise in ancient times, the four of them could gather around a table. Truth be told, apart from shipbuilding, she contributed almost nothing to this era, especially to women.
Fortunately, she doesn't like to make piles either, and the tools are all available, and the woody fragrance of the canopy can allow her to spend days and nights playing with wood without feeling tired. He did nothing else, but cut the wood into rectangular boards. Others see her as boring, but they don't know that she is very happy immersed in her own world.
By the way, her homemade planer is very useful. At this time, there was no planer.
Two hours later, the little eunuch ran into the tent and called out to her, and was astonished to find a thick pile of sawdust under the woman's feet, which had submerged both of her feet.
"Master Zheng, Master Qi, please hold that thing and let's go." Now that you have subordinates, don't waste resources. Mo Zi doesn't care whether these two people are the eyes and ears of the spies, or whether they are not welcomed, in short, under her command, they can be used.
Mo Zi pointed to the object that had been placed in the corner earlier, and it was also covered with a red cloth.
Zheng Wen raised his head, and Dr. Qi raised the other.
"Miss Song, what's here?" Zheng Wen asked curiously.
"Test the props they can't pass." Mo Zi didn't sell Guanzi, but he just said that Zheng Wen probably couldn't figure it out.
On the stage, the curtains between the examiners had been removed, and two neat stacks of gears were placed on the table. Not far away, the emperor was seated again. The smell of barbecue wafted in the air, making her salivate The smell of barbecue was familiar, like the smell of roasted rabbits in the backyard of Yuanfu's original long grass.
Take a closer look, Yuan Cheng, Zhongshu Ling, and Shangshu are sitting together, talking and laughing with the head of the Ministry of Industry. Looking at the women's tent on the other side, Qiu Sanniang sat under Mrs. Xiao, Princess Xiao and the side concubine, and glanced at her from time to time. Old Madam Xiao was displeased. probably knew that a girl who was beaten by her actually became a female official, and her heart was unbalanced. In Xiao Wei's account, you can see Wei Jiawu, Lianqi and others, can they be called princelings? There was a young man sitting on the chair in the middle, dressed in a prince's suit. The appearance is handsome, but he has a boring face, and the arrogant appearance of constantly sending palace maids and eunuchs does not seem to be very diligent, nor as gentle as his father.
Mo Zi looked at the tables of the craftsmen again, "Is there any time to complete the two sets?" β
It has been said that; "Isn't it just chopping gears out of a log? I don't even know this, and I still come to take the master exam? Lady Song, I don't know if you have ever taken a saw? β
Quite a few people snickered.
"Well, that's good." Mo Zi was not provoked, and lifted a piece of cloth in one hand at the same time.
One plate is the gear just now, and the other plate is a long and thick plate. There was a handle at the left end of the board, what appeared to be a piece of iron at the right end, and a copper tube full of small bumps, the two ends far apart.
Everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the thing, not knowing what it was for.
"This is the instrument used to test whether the wheels you have made are up to standard, as long as they can be like my five gearsβ" Mo Zi turned the board ninety degrees, and there were five small sticks high and low behind the board.
The craftsmen watched as she hung her round wheel with a stick, and watched as she shook the handle on the other side, and then, and then the brass pipe turned, brushing the comb-like piece of iron, and it jingled and played music.
Dumbfounded, full of !γ
