The re-examination is limited to one hour, and a four-book question and eight strands of writing shall not be less than four hundred words, which is very tight for candidates who are clumsy and blunt, but fortunately, the re-examination marking standards are also much looser, mainly for the right handwriting, and then look at the four parts of the question, the question, the original question, and the starting point, even if it is not completed within the specified time, and the transcription is not in time, the grandmaster will not use this as an excuse to dethrone it-

Based on Lilie Licheng's understanding of Cai Shourong, Cai Shourong will definitely not be able to write this "Xiuzhi" question eight strands, and if he breaks the question, he will not be right, and the topic will be even more ridiculous, and what kind of attitude does the grandmaster have when he reads the papers?

Eight bookcases in the hall are put together into a large square table, the table is full of examination papers, the sixty candidates who participated in the re-examination have been mobilized in the county examination and the government examination, and they are ready to grind the handwriting, the examination has just begun, and it is still early to hand in the papers.

Watching other people's exams is actually very boring, Lie Licheng is always in high mood because he is looking forward to seeing the scene of Cai Shourong being deposed, for the current Lie Licheng, it is more important to see Cai Shourong happy and sad than whether he can go to school, and people sometimes hold their breath -

Lie Licheng's eyes were not very good, he could see clearly where Cai Shourong was sitting, but Cai Shourong's expression and movements when he answered the questionnaire were not clear, so he had to ask Zeng Yuhua from time to time, Zeng Yu replied:

"He's scratching his ears and cheeks."

"He's biting the pen."

"He seems to have come to inspiration and is working hard to write."

“……”

The daylight moves slowly, the shadow of the "Xuanhua" archway on the right is getting shorter and shorter, the time is approaching, there are candidates who have handed in the papers, Liu Xingzhi has also handed in the papers, and the candidates who have handed in the papers stand respectfully waiting for the grandmaster to read the papers on the spot.

Huang Tixue came out, a staff member read aloud the candidate's answer to the eight-strand text, Huang Tixue listened, nodded after listening, and said "yes", this re-examination is passed, and then the county magistrate of the county where the candidate is located and the instructor will grind the test paper together, if there is no problem, then the candidate will sit back in his seat after saluting the officials in the hall, waiting for the grandmaster to give a banquet and a sacrifice hole, these candidates who have passed the re-examination and grinding the examination sit on the seat and call a can't help but be happy, like a monkey's ass can't sit still, and he wants to dance and cheer -

There were 11 candidates who submitted the papers in advance, all of whom were skilled in Baguwen and quick-witted.

When the time came, the instructors ordered the students to stop answering the papers, and asked the candidates to write their names, so they collected the exam papers one by one and submitted them to the grandmaster. ”

Cai Shourong's exam papers were also collected, he only wrote about 200 words indiscriminately, he didn't know what he wrote what he wrote, the man wearing a scarf who received his silver yesterday told him that he only needed black and black papers, the so-called black and black papers, that is, write something casually, and do not hand in white papers, so although Cai Shourong knew that his article was not good, he was not worried, the re-examination was just a show, and he also stood in the front row like other candidates, and he had to wait until he passed the marking and grinding before sitting back in place.

The voice of the staff reading the paper is very loud, so that everyone in the hall can hear it, this staff member will report the name of the candidate before reading the paper every time, Huang Tixue continued to listen to the paper, and more than ten people passed, when he read the test paper of a candidate surnamed Zhao, Zeng Yu's heart tightened, this candidate surnamed Yan is one of the four candidates who spent money in the Yuanzhou Academy test fraud case, Ling Fengqu and the two accomplices have already confessed to the painting, and now it depends on how Huang Tixue deals with it on the spot?

Zeng Yu listened carefully to the question of the candidate surnamed Yan on "Xiuzhi", shook his head secretly, and broke the question to commit the taboo of connection, from the "Chu people" to "Xiuzhi" is to connect, this is not in line with the eight-strand grammar style, of course, if you are sloppy, you can also mix it up-

Huang Tixue spoke: "Put this volume aside for the time being." ”

The instructor asked, "Boss, do you still have to polish this volume?" ”

Huang Tixue said: "No need, let the candidate stand aside." ”

The candidate surnamed Yan stood alone under the west room, with a suspicious expression on his face, and kept looking at Huang Tixue's side, presumably to find the person who received his money for help-

Cai Shourong didn't notice that the situation was not good, he was still immersed in the sweet dream of the white horse and golden flowers, he looked outside the hall, Lie Licheng stood under the sun and stared dryly, and he was so unhappy: "Lie squint, what can you do to me." ”

Soon it was Cai Shourong's turn, the staff began to read his exam papers, Cai Shourong thought that what the staff read would be different from what he wrote, just like someone did a good job of answering the first art questions during the college examination and asked him to copy it, but when the staff read out loud "In the public in the crowd, the sages do not do anything" When he was dumbfounded, many people in the hall were stunned, is this a problem?

Fen Yizhi County couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, just like a fuse index exploding the audience, and the whole house was full of laughter.

In the original book, Mencius asked the Song doctor: "There is a doctor of the Chu State who wants his son to learn the Qi dialect, is he going to ask the Qi people to teach him?" Or ask the people of Chu to teach him? Doctor Song replied, "Of course, it's from Qi." Mencius said: "A Qi person taught him, but there were many Chu people next to him who used Chu language to disturb him, although he was spurred to learn Qi every day, it was not successful." "The metaphor learning environment is very important, if it is disturbed, it is difficult to be effective, the title of the article is "Xiuzhi" eight strands of the text must be played around this meaning, Cai Shourong's breakthrough is too inexplicable, obviously I don't know this fable of Mencius, I didn't even read the four books and wanted to come to the candidates-

The staff also read Cai Shourong's inscription: "If someone braves the disapproval of the world and makes a noise, then people can also be embarrassed, and this is also the intention of the master not to do to others what he does not want." ”

There was another burst of laughter, and even Lie Licheng outside the hall laughed, and said to Zeng Yu beside him: "Friend Zeng, listen, this is Cai Mazi's eight-strand text, which really makes people laugh out of their big teeth, ugly, ugly." ”

The staff member still had to read it again, Huang Tixue frowned and said: "Don't read it, it's dirty ears - Cai Shourong, stand on that side." He motioned for his staff to move on to the next one.

Cai Shourong was both panicked and puzzled, walked to the side of the candidate surnamed Zhou, looked left and right, and suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "Are you a student who spent fifty taels of silver to buy?" ”

The candidate surnamed Zhou glared at Cai Shourong angrily, denied it, but panicked in his heart, and after a while, asked Cai Shourong: "Did you spend money?" ”

"Joke, how could I do something like that." Cai Shourong also denied that the two of them were now grasshoppers wearing a rope, but they were not united and suspicious of each other.

Soon, the four grasshoppers gathered, blue or white, staring at each other, each frightened.

Cai Shourong was more lively, still stretching his neck and looking around, and suddenly saw the middle-aged man who received his silver coming out of the back hall, overjoyed, the savior arrived, looking forward to it, stretched out his arm and almost greeted him, and then found that the middle-aged man was twisted out, and there were three people in general embarrassment, one of them was moaning painfully with his buttocks, and was pushed out by the soap li——

This scene appeared in the lobby, everyone was stunned, no matter how optimistic Cai Shourong was, no matter how lucky he was, at this time he also knew that he was finished, a timid candidate beside him was already sitting on the ground, but Cai Shourong was slippery, quietly retreated to the wall, and slowly moved towards the door-

Everyone in the hall looked at Ling Fengqu and the three of them at this time, and they didn't notice this side for a while, but Lie Licheng kept staring at it, and then shouted: "Cai Mazi wants to escape, catch him." ”

Cai Shourong saw that he was called broken, so he simply ran away, and the errand outside the hall was unknown, so he didn't get the command of the official, so he didn't step forward so actively to stop him, Lie Licheng shouted and chased after him, Cai Shourong waved his fist and threatened: "Be careful of eating my punch." When he turned around and ran again, Zeng Yu, who was in front, stretched his legs steeply, tripped Cai Shourong to the ground, and his mouth was broken.

Lie Licheng laughed and pulled Zeng Yu to the hall to see the excitement.

The fraud case is very clear, Cai Shourong and the four of them either bought the seat number from Ling Fengqu for sixty taels of silver or fifty taels, and got Ling Fengqu's ghostwriting for the first time, and Ling Fengqu took the opportunity to assist Huang Tixue to read the papers, and took the opportunity to win these four people-

The officials of the prefect Fan and the county government were very surprised when they saw Huang Tixue announcing the fraud case in public.

Of course, Cai Shourong's four students went to school to make up for the students, but fortunately, the Ming Dynasty was not strict in punishing fraud in the imperial examination, and Huang Tixue only punished each person with ten strokes, and then canceled their school status, that is to say, they could not participate in the scientific examination for life, and no other criminal laws were imposed, but the main culprit Ling Fengqu was sentenced to exile and confiscation into the army-

After the four cheating children were punished with a cane, they were forked out of the palace and tied to the Shenming Pavilion for a day.

The turmoil subsided, and the fifty-six candidates who passed the re-examination and grinding will have a luncheon in the palace, Zeng Yu and Lie Licheng were waiting to withdraw, Huang Tixue saw Zeng Yu and beckoned: "Before Zeng Sheng." ”

Zeng Yu hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Huang Tixue said: "You are just right here, I wanted to send someone to find you, but I don't know where you live." "To Fan Zhifu a few people: "This Guangxin Mansion came here to make up for the examination of the child Zeng Yu Zeng Jiuli, several adults still have an impression, the academic character is good, the last time Guangxin Mansion tried to leave the talent, now I have allowed him to study, but unfortunately I can't preside over the ceremony of worshipping the Confucian Temple for him in Guangxin Mansion, let him go to the banquet with Yuanzhou Zhusheng today, a few adults think it is okay?" ”

Of course, Fan Zhifu and others have no objections, these things are all decided by the deputy envoy of the school, but Shilin public opinion must not be worried, at this time, Zeng Yu Yichun Tai Wendou's influence appeared, and the Confucian children led by Lie Licheng did not feel that the grandmaster was covering Zeng Yu, and Zeng Yu's study was well deserved.

On this day, Zeng Yu's toilet body was among the new students of Yuanzhou Mansion, wearing a new scarf and shirt, with colorful flags in front and yellow cover in the back, walking from Yichun City Street, going to the Dacheng Hall of the Fuxue Palace to worship the ancestor Confucius Sage, Guangxin Mansion students in Yuanzhou Mansion to worship Kong, this is the first time in the world, and there should be no more in the future, Zeng Yu can be described as unprecedented.
