After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the examiners began to pay close attention to the marking papers, and the results would be released within three days, and Lin Qingwan, who wanted to go home after the Mid-Autumn Festival, decided to wait for the results to come down. With-Dream- . lā

Moreover, she also wanted to see what could happen to the Lin family if she was not in Suzhou.

There are a lot of papers, and the defaced test papers and the test papers that obviously do not answer enough two-thirds of the questions are directly eliminated, which sifts out a lot.

We'll have to take the rest slowly.

The examiners were divided into groups, a big guy took a few subordinates to read the paper together, the paper is not a name, basically read the content, and then glance at the name of the origin, the person who reads the paper will know the brother probably, he will be in or not.

An examiner touched a test paper, and after reading it, he said with a smile: "This paper is good, it can't be rated first-class, but second-class is no problem." ”

When a person next to him heard this, he hurriedly leaned over and asked, "Oh, which talent is it?" ”

The examiner went to see the name and said with a smile: "Shang Mingjie, it's from Suzhou, hey, isn't it the same as Lord Shang from the Ministry of Industry?" ”

"Yes, this year, the son of Lord Shang's family did participate in the imperial examination, I think he has been worried for the past two days, maybe he is worried about Shang Gongzi's achievements?"

"There's no need to worry about this," the examiner put the paper aside and said with a smile: "This paper is a must-win, I didn't expect my son to be better than Lao Tzu, and the blue is better than the blue." ”

Everyone heard the sarcasm in his words, smiled slightly and did not speak.

The examiner of the other group also drew a good test paper and said with a smile: "I am also a good one, and I am also from Suzhou." ”

Looking at his birthday again, he couldn't help touching his beard and said, "This year, Suzhou has all the young talents." ”

"I'll look for it, but there's still one."

Compared with middle-aged jinshi, Daliang's officials prefer young jinshi because they are young, in good health, and tolerant.

Any dirty work can be thrown to them to do, the most important thing is that if you live for a long time when you are young, you have time for the court to cultivate, change to a middle-aged and old person, and wait for you to train people, he is very old and can't do it, it's a waste of resources.

Thought that if you were admitted to the Jinshi, you would be able to become an official and reach the pinnacle of life?

The most important thing is to learn how to deal with official affairs, balance the contradictions between the DPRK and the DPRK, and lead the locality and even the country to prosperity.

Therefore, although it is unbearable, under the same conditions, the examiners will give preference to candidates who are younger and stronger.

So take the exam while you're young.

Everyone pulled out several young candidates who wrote well, put the papers aside with a smile, and continued to read.

Those who have been famous for a long time have to take out the articles of the talented people to take a closer look, if they can take it, they can take it, and the protégés who have said hello to the bigwigs should also be pulled out to take a look, and the articles that are not particularly bad will be put aside, and the previously selected test papers will be reviewed twice.

Li Feng's papers were not outstanding, so he was thrown into the pile of eliminated papers by the examiner early in the morning.

The chief official glanced at the selected test papers, and felt that they were not enough, and then they had to eliminate them again, at least three hundred test papers, and now there were less than two hundred.

Afraid that the subordinate officials were too strict, the first official went to look through the lost test papers, and after a while, three copies were selected, he frowned and asked, "Who read these papers?"

The examiners took a look, hurriedly stood up, and shook their heads after glancing.

An examiner behind the first official hurriedly came out and said, "It's the lower official who reads it." ”

"Both?"

The examiner choked, nodded with a white face, and said, "Yes." ”

The first official said expressionlessly: "The Jinshi exam is once every three years, and it will be canceled directly when it encounters major events in the DPRK and China, and some people may be able to take the Jinshi exam once in their lifetime, so we should be cautious about each test paper." ”

He handed these test papers to the person next to him, and said solemnly: "Behind every test paper is a person, a family, or even a family, this official does not require you to be absolutely solemn and fair, and there is no standard for this thing, but you are absolutely not allowed to wait for favoritism and revenge in such matters!" ”

After that, he pointed to the test papers and asked the examiner, "This official asks you, why did you drop these three test papers?" ”

The examiner said in a cold sweat on his forehead: "Xia Guan thought that these three articles were all made up of rhetoric, and there was nothing to say. ”

Artistic conception is a thing that depends on everyone, you say there is, but I insist on saying no, not to mention that this is a strategy?

I don't like the candidate's arguments, and the chief official can't do anything with him, which is why Lin Qingwan said that the current imperial examination is extremely unfair.

To a large extent, the admission or disapproval depends on the likes and dislikes of the examiner, and sometimes even the first official cannot interfere with the examiner's marking.

It's the same now, although I know that this person is unfair in reading the file, and the chief official can't do anything to him at this time, it doesn't mean that he can't do anything.

The chief officer called two examiners and asked them to re-screen the eliminated test papers on the ground.

Two examiners: ......

can't hate the chief official, they can only stare at their colleagues secretly, it is stupid, favoritism is the norm in the imperial examination, but no one has done so much, and they actually brushed the good papers in the first round, is this too long?

The two of them began to read the article bitterly, some of them could be dropped at a glance, and some of them had to be looked at carefully, and the workload instantly tripled.

The chief official didn't leave, he sat cross-legged on the ground and followed them to choose, and then turned out Li Feng's test paper.

It's okay, barely able to enter the second selection, the first official was about to throw a few test papers on the side, and when he saw the name and place of origin of the paper, he nodded his fingers, what is the name of the young man who is very good at controlling water that Lao Ren said to them a few days ago?

The chief official thought for a while, drew a circle on it with a pen, handed it to the examiner on the side, and said, "Put it aside first, and go back and see if you can squeeze out a place for him." ”

The subordinate officer read it carefully, and only said half-loudly: "This article is mediocre and his reputation is not obvious, why do you want to take him?" ”

"It's a person who is favored by the Ministry of Works, and he seems to be very good at controlling water."

"Oh," the examiner understood, and also drew a box on it as a mark, this kind of thing is not uncommon, there are always people who are very talented in a certain aspect, and they have been noticed by the head of the department early, anyway, these people are finally divided into places and six departments, as long as they are really talented, they are willing to give everyone one more way.

So Li Feng's roll was put aside.

Three days later, the Ministry of Rites opened the list, and the candidates gathered early to wait.

Li Feng was also there, and early in the morning he stood under the list with his fellow villagers, sweating profusely waiting for the Ministry of Rites to open.

His fellow villager was a businessman, and while wiping his sweat, he comforted him: "Don't be nervous, didn't you say that the scroll was sent out, I think it's quite likely." ”

Li Feng said silently: "...... I'm not nervous, but should I drink some water first? ”

This sweats a lot!

He Tongxiang laughed and said: "No need, no need, I'm not nervous, I'm a physical problem, I love to sweat when I'm young!" ”

Before the words fell, the door of the Ministry of Rites slowly opened, and a team of officials ran out to separate the crowd and separate a road.

The ceremonial officer came out with the red paper that had been copied, and said loudly: "As soon as the list comes out, a total of 136 students will be admitted to the Jinshi scientific examination, and the roll call will now begin!" ”

As soon as the number of admissions exploded, the crowd instantly stirred, there were so many admissions this year, you must know that only seventy-nine were admitted in the last session.

Although the list has not yet been posted, everyone hugged together excitedly, the more people admitted, the greater the possibility of them, this year is right!

Even Zhou Tong, who had not copied the test papers, was ignited with a wave of hope, and looked at the front with blazing eyes.

The ceremonial officer unfolded the red paper and said loudly: "The one hundred and thirty-sixth, Li Feng of Hezhong Mansion!" ”

Among the recorded crowds, Li Feng, who didn't even take his head, was stunned, he was, did he pass the exam?

He Tongxiang beside him screamed, pushed away the people around him, hugged Li Feng and shouted: "You have passed the test, Brother Li, you have really passed the test!" The Lord of Linjun and the ministers really recommended you! ”

Everyone was envious and jealous, and looked at Li Feng with some regret.

Although he was the last one, he passed the test!

Li Feng was also stunned, he knew his ability, and he had already planned to take the Ming Jing exam if he failed the list.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to go to the Ming Sutra at the age of thirty-five, it is not a way out.

Who knew that he would be hit, oh my God, he really hit the Jinshi!

The ceremonial officer turned a deaf ear to the excitement of the two of them, and continued to read, "The one hundred and thirty-fifth, Guangjin Liu Guang!" ”

"Whoa, it's me, it's me, I'm also in, I'm in, I'm in......"

Every time the ceremonial officer pronounced a name, there was a cheer at the bottom, and then the people around him pricked up their ears and continued to listen, while taking the time to congratulate the cheering people, their eyes full of envy.

At this time, no matter what the opponent's ranking is, those who can be tested are heroes.

Lin You and the others also came to listen to the list in person, and they were falling behind at this time, but the voice of the ceremonial officer could also be heard clearly, and seeing that they still didn't have their names after half of the rankings, they couldn't help but become impatient.

Zhou Tong already knew that he was impossible, he hadn't finished copying the papers, even if he was admitted to a low ranking, he hadn't been more than halfway through, so it was probably impossible.

So he looked left and right and said, "Could it be that we didn't hit any of them?" ”

Lu Li and Lu Rui couldn't help but press his head, even Shang Mingjie couldn't help but pat his head melon seeds, and said angrily: "Don't crow mouth!" ”

Before the words fell, I heard the examiner preach: "Fifty-eighth, Suzhou Lu Yu!" ”

Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and then opened a big smile, Lin You breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and slapped his shoulder and said, "Congratulations!" ”

Shang Mingjie was also happy, "It's not like there's no harvest." ”

Lu Rui and Lu Li nodded approvingly, and their hearts were finally settled.

Lu Yu's ranking is not low, and the Hui clan is another shining star if it operates.

"Fifty-third, Suzhou Shang Mingjie!"
