It will take 10 days to complete the examination of the provincial examination, at which time the admission list will be announced, but there will be no ranking, and the palace examination will be held in another 20 days, and more than 500 scholars who have been admitted to the provincial examination will participate in a one-day examination, which will determine the final ranking.

For the top ten, the Son of Heaven will interview in person to determine the top three in the final A list.

However, for the candidates, there are almost no people preparing for the palace examination now, either indulgent drinking and playing, or shopping, but more are anxiously waiting for the provincial examination results.

After all, the palace examination is only a battlefield of more than 500 people, and for the vast majority of candidates, there is no point in considering the palace examination.

Early the next morning, Su Liang and the Cheng brothers and sisters went to Chenliu County to play, and Fan Ning had to take on the responsibility of being the big proprietor behind the scenes of the Strange Stone Pavilion.

He has fifty percent of his family in the Strange Stone Pavilion, but it's all in his mother's name.

Everyone came to Shuyuan Street, the new store is being renovated, the decoration of the Song Dynasty store is not focused on the interior, as long as the interior is clean and tidy, the dirt on the wall is re-whitewashed, and the damaged wooden planks on the ground are replaced, probably about the same.

But the façade is very important, Fan Tiege spent a thousand yuan to build a small Huanlou, this is his dream all along, in the past, the door of the old Fan grocery store was very dilapidated, and he had no money to decorate.

The Mudu Strange Stone Museum itself is the largest store, and there is no need to build a Huanlou.

But this store in the capital is similar to other stores, and if you want to stand out and shine, it is particularly important to make a happy building at the door.

Fanning walked to the front of the shop, Huanlou was being installed, Huanlou is actually a gatehouse, there are many poles on it, which is convenient for tying colored satin, and it looks very beautiful and imposing.

Fanning found that the plaque was still empty, so he smiled and asked, "There is no store name on the plaque?" ”

Fan Tiege smiled bitterly and said, "I'm going to go back to Zhu Daguan and ask him to find a celebrity to inscribe the name of the store." ”

"Don't bother so much, in a few days I will ask Ouyang Xiu to inscribe, he is a calligrapher, or please ask Xiangguo Pang to inscribe, he also loves to collect famous stones, and has a great influence in the strange stone world, I will do this."

Mingren smiled on the side: "A-Ning, it's better for you to write the inscription, you are the big proprietor, and it is natural to write an inscription on your own shop." ”

Fanning shook his head, "It's a bad idea!" ”

He walked directly into the store, and Fan Tiege knocked on his son's head, "Don't talk nonsense in the future!" ”

"Why not?" Akihito covered his head and muttered quietly.

"A-Ning doesn't want others to know that this store has something to do with him, don't talk nonsense if you kid doesn't understand."

Akihito stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to say anything more.

The store has been cleaned up, half of the first floor is full of shelves, the shelves are mainly small Taihu stones, large Taihu stones are placed in the backyard, and a few medium Taihu stones will be placed in the store to decorate.

"Where's Tian Huangshi?"

Fanning asked, "Did you move over?" ”

Fan Tiege pointed to the second floor, "I moved here yesterday, and Akihito slept in the store at night, guarding these Tian Huangshi, I may go back tomorrow." ”

"Is the second uncle leaving tomorrow?"

Fan Tiege nodded, "Go back and hand over to the new shopkeeper, and at the end of the month, another batch of Taihu stones will be transported into Beijing, and the strange stone museum in the capital will open." ”

Fan Ning pondered for a moment and said: "Second Uncle had better recruit two more carvers to enter Beijing, Tian Huangshi needs carvers to stay in the store for a long time." ”

"I know! The right person is already there, next time we will go to Beijing together! ”

Fan Ning then walked up to the second floor, the door on the second floor was locked, Fan Tiege took the key and opened the door, and then pushed the door in.

The second floor is the world of Tian Huangshi, and the shelves on both sides against the wall are densely packed with thousands of pieces of superb Tian Huang, different sizes, but most of them are as big as a fist.

There are also a lot of Tianhuang stones as big as grapefruits, and a few pieces the size of a water tank, placed on the ground.

Fanning picked it up piece by piece, looked at it for a moment, then turned back to Akihito and smiled: "I'll pick twenty pieces and take them, and ask Jupei's brother to carve them, and his works will become the treasure of our store." ”

．．．．．．．

Zhang Guozhang's mansion, Zhang Yaozuo listened to the investigation report of one of his subordinates with a gloomy face.

Zhang Yaozuo's grandson Zhang Chun finally missed the imperial examination because he broke his arm, which made Zhang Yaozuo extremely angry.

Although Zhang Yaozuo sent someone to smash Qingfeng Tower afterwards, when he slowly calmed down, he still felt a little strange, there are a lot of drunk people every day, but it is rare to hear that someone broke his arm because of this, why did his grandson encounter this kind of thing?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Zhang Yaozuo sent his right-hand men to investigate the matter.

"Qi Yu Guozhang, his subordinates carefully inspected the stairs of Qingfeng Building, and there was indeed a place between the second and third floors that was damaged, because the business was too busy, and there were not many people on the third floor, so they didn't have time to repair it.

One of the bartenders also fell downstairs that morning, but he was not injured. ”

Zhang Yaozuo was a little unhappy, and asked coldly: "Are you saying that my grandson really stumbled and stepped on the air?" ”

"The subordinates can't lie to the national abbot, Yanai did step on the air and fell downstairs, but the subordinates still have two doubts."

"What's the doubt?" Zhang Yaozuo turned around and asked.

"The first suspicion is the damage to the stairs, the subordinates found that the stairs were very badly damaged, and if they were not careful, they would step on the air and fall, and the subordinates felt strange, such a serious damage, why not repair it in time?"

"Then did you ask Qingfeng Restaurant?"

The subordinates smiled bitterly, "The people of Qingfeng Restaurant have an extremely strong attitude because the Guozhang sent someone to smash the restaurant, and they insist that it was the Guozhang who sent someone to smash the stairs, and it has nothing to do with them." ”

Zhang Yaozuo's face was ugly, and he snorted heavily.

"What about the second suspicion?"

"The second suspicion has nothing to do with Qingfeng Restaurant, but in Zhu Lou, just the day before the incident, Xiao Yanei had a quarrel with someone."

"Who did you get into a quarrel with?" This is what Zhang Yaozuo cares about.

As long as he suspects in his heart that his grandson is injured, he will naturally move closer to all conspiracy theories, and his grandson has conflicts with people and is framed by others, which is the result he wants.

"According to the investigation of his subordinates, Xiao Yanei went to Zhu Lou to drink the day before, and because there were not enough seats to clash with the shopkeeper, he met Fan Ning, and he argued with Xiao Yanei for a few words."

"Fanning!"

Zhang Yaozuo's fists clenched, gritting his teeth with hatred, this bastard again.

The subordinate hurriedly said: "Xiao Yanei just said a few words to Fan Ning, and it didn't affect Fan Ning's interests, and Fan Ning has to take the exam the next day, I'm afraid I don't have time and energy, and my subordinates are actually suspicious of the Zhu family." ”

"It can't be the Zhu family!"

Zhang Yaozuo vetoed it, for the sake of a restaurant shopkeeper to make a feud with himself, the Zhu family is not so stupid.

And for so many years, the Zhu family has been relatively low-key, if the Zhu family is dissatisfied with themselves, they can come to the door to ask for an explanation, and it is impossible to do hurtful actions behind their backs.

Zhang Yaozuo knew in his heart that this matter was definitely not done by the Zhu family.

It's Fan Ning, Zhang Yaozuo has a great hatred for him, I heard that he has a gap with his grandson, whether this matter is Fan Ning's work or not, Zhang Yaozuo has put part of the account on his head.

Zhang Yaozuo looked out the window for a long time, and snorted in his nose, "I thought that Fan Zhongyan's grandson could be arrogant, but I really thought I couldn't clean him up?" ”

．．．．．．．．

Candidates can relax a little after the provincial examination, but their examination papers also have to go through the severe test of five levels and six generals.

It is indeed necessary to pass the test of five passes, the first pass is the Copying Academy, which is to prevent the candidate's handwriting from being recognized by the examiner, which will lead to fraud.

Therefore, all candidates' papers must be copied by the Academy first, and the Institute will copy them again.

However, in this way, the examiner will not be able to know the candidate's calligraphy and the situation of the paper, so it is necessary for the Copyist Institute to intercept it appropriately and collect some of the test papers that have poor calligraphy, obvious errors in the meditation scriptures, or too many alterations on the paper.

The officials of the Copyist Institute have no authority to deal with it, and they will transfer this part of the test paper to the examiner, who will sentence it.

Generally speaking, if the calligraphy is unqualified, the volume is altered in more than three places, or the mistakes and omissions in the scriptures exceed three words, they will be eliminated directly.

Such volumes account for about 30% of the total volume, and about 30,000 volumes will be eliminated at the first level of the Copying Academy.

The second pass is the preliminary examination pass, this pass is also called the ghost gate, it is the most eliminated test papers, and the papers that have escaped the copy of the reputation institute and entered the audit court will be eliminated seventy percent in the preliminary examination.

About 50,000 volumes will be eliminated here, mainly in countermeasures.

But this is only the experience of previous years.

This year, however, it is a little more harsh, and there are two questions in the response text, the first question, do you agree with the verdict of the prefectural order?

If the answer agrees, then even if the candidate writes brilliantly, it is meaningless, this is a death line, and it will be brushed off if you cross it.

So 70,000 copies of the paper, 60,000 copies were eliminated on the first question,

More than 80% of the elimination rate.

Only more than 10,000 copies remained in the second trial.
