Chapter 264: Envy, Jealousy, and Hate
The man nodded and handed the bag back to Du Jinning: "I'll make one when I go back, and I'll use it when I come to take the county exam next year." ”
"I'll see." The other person took it, looked at the bag, nodded and praised, "Good thing, I'll make one later." I think this thing has played a big role today, right? ”
Du Jinning nodded.
Remembering what Du Jinning said just now to achieve a certain degree of fire prevention, the more the person looked at the bag, the more wonderful he felt: "When it comes to the hospital test and the township test, it is a candle." With this thing, the test papers that are not used for the time being can be put into a bag and will not be caught by fire. ”
"More than that." Others also added, "When you go to the toilet for the hospital test and the township test, you can also hang this bag on your body to prevent accidents on the test paper when you leave the test number." ”
One year in the township examination, there was a candidate in the examination room who went to the toilet, and the candle burning on the table somehow lit the test paper was lit, and the test number burned. Although the invigilator was very vigilant and quickly extinguished the fire, the test paper was burned, and in the end, the candidate naturally took an exam in vain, and the candidates near him were all frightened.
It was a township exam, and it was held once every three years unless it was opened. If you take the exam in vain, you have to delay it for three years. How many three years can there be in life? You may have done well in this test, but not necessarily next time. A famous person may be burned by this fire.
And accidents like this are not uncommon in the exam room.
Seven people chatted casually, and after a full two quarters of an hour, two more came out and came to the back.
Du Jinning frowned when he saw the person walking in front. This person is none other than Yan Kun, who had been sorry for her when she first entered Class A.
Yan Kun took the county exam last year, but failed to pass. This year, I will refer to it again.
Just looking at his pale and white, mournful face, I think this year's exam did not go well.
The tall and thin man was a talkative man, and when he saw Yan Kun lined up behind him, he asked him, "Brother, did you submit the paper in advance after completing the test questions, or did the test paper be polluted by the rain?" ”
Thinking that Yan Kun would misunderstand his intentions, he pulled a few people in front of him and said, "We all handed in the test papers because they were soiled by the rain." ”
He didn't compare Du Jinning to it, but Yan Kun followed his gesture and saw Du Jinning.
His dark eyes lit up suddenly.
Du Jinning, although he was promoted from Class B to Class A later, has always been among the best since he entered Class A. Except for calligraphy and poetry, the other grades are ranked first, and he is praised by the teachers all day long, especially a few old gentlemen, who are about to praise him. This made Yan Kun really envious and jealous of her.
However, with Liang Xiankuan staring at him, Du Jinning has become the heart and liver of the teachers again, and because of the writing book, many classmates in Class A have become Du Jinning's fans, and Yan Kun is very smart and did not go against Du Jinning again.
Because of Du Jinning's excellent results, everyone in the academy has high hopes for her to participate in the county examination this year, hoping that she will take another county case like Qi Muyuan last year.
Last year, Qi Muyuan was thirteen years old when he took the county case, and Du Jinning is twelve years old this year. For two consecutive years, such an immature student won the county case, and the reputation of the academy will definitely go to a higher level. At that time, I didn't know how many parents from other counties would send their children to study here. The selectivity of the students is wider, and the qualifications of the selected students will naturally be better, so maybe next year and the year after that, the county capital will be included in the pocket of Boyue Academy. This is a virtuous circle, which is naturally what Guan Shan Chang and the gentlemen of the academy are happy to see.
is such a Du Jinning who has high hopes, if he has to hand in the papers in advance because the test questions are dirty by the rain, and he leaves the county examination room in a gloomy manner, he can't even get a ranking of Sun Shan, let alone the county case, thinking about this picture, Yan Kun wants to laugh, and his mood is suddenly very good.
Sure enough, when you are miserable, there are people who are more miserable than yourself, and this healing effect is stronger than anything else.
He forced a smile, pretended to be sad and surprised, and said to Du Jinning: "Senior Brother Du, why are you?" Why are you here? Isn't it ......" he pointed at the tall and thin man, and then at Du Jinning, "Isn't it that you are also the same as this Taiwan brother and me, and the test papers have been ruined?" ”
Without waiting for Du Jinning to speak, he continued: "Ah, what should I do? I'm like this, in the academy, it's just a middle and upper grade, and it's nothing if I fail the exam, junior brother, you are the person with the highest voice in the county. If you knew that you were disgraced because the test papers were destroyed, I don't know how Guan Shanchang would be heartbroken. ”
As he spoke, he let out a long sigh and stretched out his hand to pat Du Jinning's shoulder, but Du Jinning turned around and avoided him.
The tall and thin man thought that Yan Kun was sincerely sorry for Du Jinning, and without waiting for Du Jinning to speak, he was very enthusiastic to help explain: "No, no, this brother's roll has not been destroyed, it's us." He circled around himself and the others, emphasizing again, "I'm talking about us." Your junior brother ......."
He shook his head in admiration, and said very respectfully: "Just now, the county lord also took the exam for him, saying that he had no problem with a show, and several of us were admiring it in our hearts." At this time, I heard you say that he was pinned on by Boyue Academy, and the county head of the case had the highest voice, so it is no wonder. ”
Saying that, he arched his hand towards Du Jinning: "I'm going to congratulate Brother Tai here, if there is no accident, the head of this county will probably be Brother Tai." ”
The county order for invigilating and marking the case should be taken first, and there is also a certain degree of exquisiteness. It's not that you do a good job in the exam paper and get it, it's about your reputation. If a lonely and unknown person usually does not have outstanding grades in the academy or private school, and does not have a literary name, and suddenly gets a very good result in the county examination, then there may be a certain strangeness in this result. For such a person, although the county order will not prevent him from passing the county examination, the head of the case will definitely not be given to him. I am afraid that I will be attacked, saying that the candidate bribed him to give him the county case, or made an incident of leaking the test papers.
Therefore, their approach is generally to choose a relatively prestigious candidate who is relatively prestigious in terms of knowledge to be the head of the case among the several candidates who have done well in the exam.
This is the practice of the old people who are officials, and it is also a means for them to protect themselves. It is better to be conservative than to be aggressive.
Boyue Academy is the only academy in Lishui County, and it is also a famous academy in the province that can be ranked among the top five. This kind of outstanding student in the academy has done relatively well in the exam, so it is logical to give him the title of the head of the county case.
That's why the tall and thin man congratulated Du Jinning in advance.
