Chapter 65: Nobles Help Each Other
In the attic not far from the examination room, Zhao Kai sat upright, with fragrant tea on the stone table in front of him.
The chief examiner, Shen Cheng, stood beside him with his hands down, and several deputy examiners went to inspect the four examination rooms.
The attic is condescending, you can see the situation of the four examination rooms at the same time, and you can complete the inspection task without running back and forth, Zhao Kai is very satisfied with this arrangement.
The seat next to him was vacant, and Zhao Feiyan was originally sitting here, but a moment ago she got up and went downstairs, and an attendant was downstairs asking to see her.
After the meeting between master and servant, the attendant lowered his voice and gave a detailed description of what he had heard.
Halfway through hearing this, Zhao Feiyan was already frowning, and there was a trace of anger on her face.
After the attendant finished speaking, she immediately asked, "Is the news accurate?"
The entourage nodded, and said solemnly: "Accurate! The Zhang family is indeed targeting Qin Mo, a double-armored child, in addition to the person in charge of making trouble in the examination room, they also went to the door of Lord Yin and asked him to brush Qin Mo down when he was judging the papers." ”
Seeing that the master's face changed, the entourage hurriedly said: "The latter things have not been confirmed, and the subordinates feel that it may be the Zhang family bragging about it, so as to show off the relationship with Lord Fu Yin." The imperial court has strict regulations on the evaluation of government examination papers, and I believe that no one dares to bend the law for personal gain, besides, with you and His Royal Highness King Jia as inspection envoys, who dares to commit crimes against the wind?"
Zhao Feiyan's face looked a lot better, and said, "Go and call the assistant examiner in the calligraphy examination room, the county lord has something to order." ”
"Yes!" the attendant turned and headed for the calligraphy examination room.
Zhao Feiyan frowned, she came with a happy mood, and she was going to introduce the third brother to Qin Mo after the exam, and by the way, she asked him for a pair of beast chess, but she didn't expect such a serious situation to happen in the examination room.
In the attic just now, she clearly saw Zhang Wenfeng making small moves against Qin Mo, and realized that there was an article in it, so she immediately asked her entourage to inquire about the situation.
The entourage was a shrewd and capable person, he led people to stop Zhang Wenfeng, who was expelled from the examination room, and even coaxed and deceived and threatened, and it didn't take long for him to inquire about the situation clearly.
After a while, a calligraphy assistant came to her and saluted respectfully.
Zhao Feiyan waved her hand and said, "Go and tell your examiner that there are young people who intend to destroy the order of the examination room and assassinate the candidate Qin Mo." Let him ensure that the exam goes smoothly no matter what, and if an accident happens, the county lord and His Royal Highness King Jia will not be spared, understand?"
The assistant examiner hugged his fists and said: "I understand the humble position, so I will pass the word." ”
Zhao Feiyan deliberately pretended to be Zhao Kai's name, and the weight would naturally be heavier.
The assistant trotted back to the exam room and whispered a few words to the examiner who had just finished announcing the exam questions.
The examiner raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the attic, and said in a deep voice, "I know." ”
After speaking, he picked up a brush from the table and walked towards Qin Mo's location with square steps.
Zhang Wenqi is glancing at a distant cousin, which means that this time you are on.
According to the results of the deliberations before the start of the exam, he would rush over halfway through the exam time and stain Qin Mo's answer sheet.
According to the regulations of the government examination, no marks are allowed on the surface of the paper, including ink and alterations, which must be processed as a drop in the paper.
Falling off the paper means that the test paper does not have the opportunity to enter the main examiner, which means that there is no score for this item.
The choice of time is very particular, not only before Qin Mo completes the answer sheet, but also not to leave him a chance to rewrite a copy, so Zhang Wenqi chose to start in a quarter of an hour, which can be described as vicious.
Zhang Wenqi thought that the examiner was going to inspect the examination room, but he didn't expect the examiner to stand still next to Qin Mo, holding the pen in his right hand, with an expression on his face like a great enemy.
What's going on?
The cousin hurriedly glanced at this side, meaning that with the presence of the examiner, the operation could not be successful.
Zhang Wenqi frowned and motioned for him to be calm.
Qin Mo just glanced at the examiner with his eyes, and did not feel nervous because of his arrival.
The content of the test questions is not a problem, and the way to write the different repetitive words is a piece of cake, and he doesn't even need to write the manuscript directly.
As for the standard version of the pavilion body, he had fully mastered it before the county exam, and later had the ability to [never forget], so he kept the twelve stone tablets as a model in mind.
The standard font and meticulous writing made the examiner look relieved.
At the same time, he was also thinking about one thing, it is nothing new for someone to target Qin Mo, the so-called Mu Xiu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, since he is a double-armored child, standing at this height, there will definitely be many people who have the idea of stepping on it, this is the most effective way to become famous.
In addition, Qin Mo was born in a poor family and had no backer to rely on, those people would think that he was easy to bully.
However, His Royal Highness King Jia and Lord Zimu will order to protect him, what is going on?
It is certain that Zhao Kai, the king of Jia, is not familiar with Qin Mo, as a prince who is favored by the emperor, he rarely goes out of Beijing.
With doubts, the examiner continued to stand here, but after a moment of stunned effort, Qin Mo had already completed the writing of the thirteenth character.
Looking at the other candidates, most of them haven't written yet.
Fortunately, there was no blue brick partition wall used in this exam, and the candidates were only asked not to leave the desk, but they could look left and right and get answers from other candidates' test papers, otherwise more than half of them would not know what to write.
But even so, no one dares to guarantee that the copied answers are completely correct, and once the writing content is wrong, the font will be directly judged to be dropped.
At the same time, Zhao Feiyan re-ascended the attic and sat next to the third brother Zhao Kai.
Zhao Kai asked casually: "Sister, what did you do just now?"
"Inquire about Qin Shuangjia's results. Zhao Feiyan's face did not change, and said with a smile: "Third brother, guess what." ”
Zhao Kai shook his head and said, "I can't guess, but I saw him striking the bell far away just now, so the results should be good." ”
Zhao Feiyan nodded and said, "The length is fifteen zhang, and the height of the water wave is two inches and one minute." ”
Zhao Kai's eyes widened suddenly, and Shen Cheng, who was standing next to him, was also taken aback, this kind of result had not appeared in the Nanjing Mansion Examination for a long time.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a double-armor child, and he is worthy of being the founder of two new penmanship and beast chess. Zhao Kai said sincerely, and then said: "I think that when this king was a child, the distance between the bell was only fourteen zhang, and the height of the water wave did not exceed two inches. ”
He always thought that this achievement was very good, because at least a dozen ministers praised him to the sky at that time, and his father Zhao Ji also praised him a few words.
Now it seems that a mountain is higher than a mountain.
Zhao Feiyan pursed her mouth and said, "Although I have reached two inches, the distance is only thirteen zhang, which is two zhang worse than Qin Mo." ”
As children of the royal family, the two of them do not need to participate in scientific examinations to obtain a civilian position, but they usually receive similar training, so they are no strangers to this.
Shen Cheng quietly glanced at the calligraphy examination room, the two nobles of Xindao respected Qin Mo so much, it seemed necessary to give some care when marking the papers, and he would definitely be able to please the two nobles.
In the examination room, Qin Mo finished writing the last word with a calm expression, he put down the brush, and was not in a hurry to hand in the papers, but waited for the ink to dry completely.
The examiner nodded involuntarily, obviously very satisfied with the paper.
After a while, Qin Mo said loudly: "Candidate Xuan No. 9 submits the papers. ”
The examiner let out a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to the trust of the two inspectors, and responded: "Accurate!"
He waved the brush in his hand and quickly wrote the word "float" in the air, and the test paper floated up from the table on its own, flew towards the examiner's desk in the distance, and landed steadily on it.
Qin Mo's behavior of handing in the papers caused a panic in the examination room, and the candidates were all anxious, and many people have not been able to fully understand the content of the test questions until now.
In fact, only half of the time has passed.
The worst thing is the children of the Zhang family, they are all worried about the task, so that they are seriously distracted, coupled with the unfamiliarity with the content of the test questions, which leads to many mistakes and faces the result of failure.
More than a dozen children of the Zhang family participated in the calligraphy and government examination, and if the last one was not successful, they would definitely become a laughing stock.
