What?

As soon as they heard Zhou Zhixian say the word "head of the case", the two fellow examiners couldn't believe their ears.

Even if you like this essay talent very much, this is the first test paper, who dares to guarantee that among the thousands of students who will submit the paper later, there is no better one?

Is it unfair to other candidates to give the case head now?

In addition, in addition to checking the papers, a few questions were also taken to test the students.

This on-the-spot interview is to prevent the test questions from being leaked in advance and the possibility of the test papers being ghostwritten. If you can't answer the examiner's questions and the exam paper is so well written, there must be something wrong with it.

Zhou Zhixian didn't do any of this, it is true that it is a little unruly, plus the previous "Shen Xiaoyou", could it be that this candidate is really a related household with collusion behind it?

The problem is that there is such a literary style, why bother to do those behind-the-scenes means, isn't there nothing to look for?

"Lord County, this matter is slightly inappropriate, why don't we take the middle first, and then consider it in the long run?"

The county Cheng opened his mouth at this time to remind, you really didn't take the school entrance examination and just got it, and it is absolutely impossible to determine that you are the head of the case.

If any student is not satisfied with the report, the consequences will be serious.

The county Cheng's reminder also made Zhou Shun react, he really couldn't directly take the middle as the head of the case, and he had some violations.

"What the county Cheng said is very true, it is the official who is abrupt."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Shun looked at Shen Yichen below and replied: "The writing is good, but it can be taken as the center." ”

But then Zhou Shun suddenly changed his words, looked into the distance and said: "The rain enters the heart of the flower, and it becomes sweet and bitter." ”

In the face of Zhou Zhixian's sudden sentence, if you don't understand, you will probably think about what this is talking about.

But this is in the county examination room, and the examiner will definitely not talk nonsense with you, so there is only one possibility left, and this sentence is to test the school on the spot.

In ancient times, the imperial examination was selected in the hall, and it would not be an imaginary tirade, allowing candidates to show their talents. After all, the time is so little, and you have to say it before the first few people turn in the papers, so you are talking about it here, and the later ones are not handed in?

Zhou Zhixian's behavior now, seriously speaking, has overtimed, fortunately, Shen Yichen handed in the paper early enough, and the other is to take the lead. Otherwise, there won't be so much time for nonsense, and he will let him out with a polite sentence.

As a result, there are basically only a few simple dialogues in the examination school, and the most common way is the couplet, because the battle of the eight-strand text is neat, and in a sense, it is also a form of couplet.

"The water returns to the vessel, each showing its own circle."

Shen Yichen did not hesitate at all, and answered directly.

"That's right, let's get out."

Zhou Shun nodded with satisfaction, his vision was right, Shen Yichen's talent could indeed be the head of the case.

"Thank you, the student, the student is leaving."

Shen Yichen bowed and retreated, even if it was such a time, he still couldn't believe it, Zhou Zhixian had taken me?

But the problem is that if you win the test in the classroom, you should inform yourself that you don't need to take the next few county exams, and skip the level to the government exam stage, instead of letting yourself out after a word of praise.

But then again, this situation has exceeded Shen Yichen's expectations, he imagined that the best result of handing in the paper in advance was to find an opportunity to apologize and admit it, and Zhou Zhixian gave him a chance to be treated fairly, just don't wear small shoes.

Now it seems that although Zhou Zhixian has a straight face, he does not mean to target himself, could it be that there is a misunderstanding?

Shen Yichen muttered in his heart as he walked towards the gate of the examination shed, wanting to know what was going on, so he could only wait for the case to be reported in the future.

As soon as Shen Yichen left on the front foot, other students walked out of the building on the back foot, and they also wanted to say a few words to the examiner Zhou Zhixian. Maybe you can solve the problem well and get a place in the classroom, and you can breathe a sigh of relief in the next four county exams.

It's just a pity that in the face of these students, Zhou Shun's attitude is obviously different, the dialogues are very formulaic, and no one is selected in the court.

However, there are also several school children in the big academy who have been put aside by Zhou Shun, these are all excellent articles to solve the problem, and the first place will be selected by this at that time.

The exam time kept passing, and with the three gongs of "Bell Bell", the first main session of the county examination ended. Candidates who have not finished writing are all given a stop by military service, and then the test papers are taken away.

The imperial examination was cruel, and before the marking of the papers began, several howling voices could be faintly heard in the Xiajiang examination booth.

As for Shen Yichen, he returned to the inn early, and then slept a little.

You must know that you have to get up in the middle of the night to prepare for the county exam, plus all kinds of queuing waiting time, the moment you really enter the exam booth, you can already be called physically and mentally exhausted, let alone the state after the exam.

Just when Shen Yichen was half asleep, the door of the room was pushed open, and Zhao Hongjie, Li Da and others rushed in.

"Good guy, we waited at the gate for a long time after we got out of the examination shed, but I didn't expect you to come back to sleep!"

Li Da and the others can be regarded as handing in the papers in advance, but the reason for their advance is different from Shen Yichen's, it is purely similar to what they wrote, and they can't hold back anything if they sit down, so they just hand in the papers early and move their bodies.

As a result, they waited at the door for a long time, and the exam was completely over, and they didn't see Shen Yichen coming out of it.

Zhao Hongjie's brain was slightly better, and he thought that Shen Yichen would have left in advance, so the group rushed back to the inn, and sure enough, they found that he had already handed in the papers!

"Or else? Standing at the door blowing a cold breeze? ”

Shen Yichen handed in the paper too early, there was still an hour or two before the end of the exam, and he was not sure when Zhao Hongjie and the others would come out, so he simply came back first.

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party would be waiting for me at the door.

"Then when did you hand in the papers, I was one of the first."

Li Da felt a little unconvinced, there were only a handful of people who submitted the paper earlier than himself, Shen Yichen was so fast?

"It should be the first."

The area of the building is so large, and it is also closed into different areas, Shen Yichen doesn't dare to guarantee that he is the first, so he added the word should.

"The first one? You're not going to hand in a blank slate, are you? ”

Li Da was taken aback, he only wrote a four-book question before he could be the first few to submit the papers.

Shen Yichen is actually the first, so doesn't that mean he didn't write?

"Brother Xian, do you think I'm you?"

Shen Yichen replied angrily, the white scroll is equivalent to cutting off the road to the imperial examination, even if it is scribbled, it is impossible to hand in the blank scroll.

Only the children of military generals like Li Da are rotten, and they no longer care about the fame of the imperial examination, so they will write a question and hand in the paper.

"Awesome, worthy of being a big brother!"

Hearing that Shen Yichen did not hand in the white paper, the white fat man Zhang Qi patted his ass very appropriately.

"The eldest brother is unparalleled, this time he must be the first to be the case."

"That's right, the eldest brother is really the birth of Wenqu Star!"

It may be that Li Da has cultivated a habit, and now that Shen Yichen is the eldest brother, this group of younger brothers in the outer courtyard began to tout about him.

Faced with this kind of meaty and earthy touting, Shen Yichen couldn't help but shudder, and then replied: "Don't come to this set, say it, what's the matter with me." ”

"What's the matter? Yesterday, the drunken fairy building didn't eat, of course I have to make up for it today! ”

Li Da waved his hand, pulled up Shen Yichen and prepared to kill towards the Drunken Immortal Tower, he was swept away by Zhu Qingyu's pickled goods last night, how can he make up for it today.

With Li Da's strength, Shen Yichen really didn't have much room to resist when he was pulled, so he could only be coerced out of the room.

Shen Yichen and the others went to Zuixian Building to have a good meal, and in the Jiangning County official office, the chief examiner Zhou Shun and the two same examiners were facing a room full of test papers.

Thousands of test papers must be read within today, and this is only the first main exam paper, tomorrow there will be a second initial review, the day after tomorrow there will be a third resume, and there will be two consecutive rounds to the fourth and fifth days!

The five-day test papers add up, and if you remove some of the ones that are not going to be full, I'm afraid you will have to have tens of thousands.

Therefore, in order to improve efficiency, the vast majority of test papers will only look at the beginning of the question, and there is a little bit of deviation, no matter how wonderful the writing of your later articles is, there is no chance to be read again.

After several hours of grading, even if the action was fast enough to glance at the beginning for a few seconds, it made Zhou Shun a little dizzy for a long time.

In comparison, Zhou Shun is still young, the county's teachings are over half a hundred years old, and his old eyes are faint and smoked by candles.

But there is no way, even if it is the most basic county test paper, it is impossible to let others read it at will, so I can only grit my teeth and hold on with the two same examiners.

After staying up until midnight, and finally reading the last few test papers, the three of them gathered in front of the desk and began to discuss which schoolchildren were selected and went directly to the hospital for the exam. Another thing is very important, that is, who is selected as the head of the county trial!

The Jiangning County Priest spoke first, pointed to the exam papers on the table and said: "Lord County, there are five test papers here, all of which are today's masterpieces and have their own merits, and the head of the case can be selected from them. ”

"Teach Lin, there are still four unexamined, is it too early to set the head of the case?"

Jiangning County Cheng expressed his opposition, the county exam has to be tested five times, although the first one occupies the largest proportion, but it does not mean that the next four are irrelevant.

Now the first place is directly given, what if there is a better article coming out later?

"The county lord is reasonable, but the ancient and modern times are focused on the main scene, even if there are good works in the follow-up, it is difficult to be rated as the head of the case."

Lin Jiaoyu insisted on his own opinion, because in the later sessions, such as the first repetition, re-repetition, etc., the content and difficulty of the questions were actually gradually reduced.

The difficulty is different, and the natural judging criteria cannot be the same.

In addition, when the main field is released from the list, the top-ranked scholars will relax, and the quality of the subsequent articles will inevitably decline. What's more, the next few will not be taken at all, and they will directly prepare for the April government exam.

Therefore, in accordance with the rules and the principle of fairness, the head of the county trial must be determined today, and if you are really afraid of causing controversy in public opinion, you can choose to keep it secret for the time being.

Seeing such an attitude of the teaching, the county also understood that it was a difficult thing to want the old pedant to change his mind.

So he simply said the person in his heart: "In this case, I think Xu Donghai, the prodigy of Zhaowen Academy, can be the head of the case!" ”
