Chapter 89: Reflection
Back in the examination room, Li Hanlin and the others still talked about Ning Caichen.
Also, officials like them are rare to be brilliant in ordinary times. It's easy to catch one, and it coincides with the Queen Mother's birthday, so this color is even heavier.
Maybe happiness came too suddenly, so that Li Hanlin suffered from gains and losses. "I've read all the papers of the Ning Caichen County Exam, the Prefectural Exam, and the Hospital Exam, but unfortunately they are not outstanding. ”
"Ning Caichen's talent is undoubted, but who can say clearly what is going on in this imperial examination. His two-pronged approach just now was really amazing, but because he was in a hurry to rush the manuscript, he did it in a hurry, and he didn't think about it carefully, so I am afraid that he may not be able to write a good article. Hey, the official is a little worried about him. The county school official couldn't help but be a little worried. As a local scholar, the scholars under his command finally came up with such a talent, and he is also a scholar with a bright face (he only joined this later, and chose to forget his surname).
But this Ning Caichen is different from ordinary scholars, that is, he does not perform well in scientific research. This is the most important point.
No matter how bright a talented person is, he can't compare to a high school place.
"Not really. Wei Xuezheng put down his pen and looked excited: "Just now, the official has already seen Ning Caichen's two scrolls, and the official has no other strengths, but his eyes are very good." What did he say about those two articles...... It's just a good word. In my opinion, the top spot in this season's exam...... No, the name of the entire province can be decided. ”
"So good?" the county school official opened his mouth wide, which broke Ning Caichen's previous convention.
"Well, I'll read it to you. Wei Xuezheng laughed, his face was colorful, and as soon as he cleared his throat, he was about to recite the scroll he had seen before. Among them, it may not be that he has not shown off his unforgettable thoughts.
At this time, Li Hanlin suddenly coughed: "Lord Wei is cautious, the country has its own system, and you can't talk nonsense." ”
The system is one thing, but this is a quarterly exam, and where is it so strict.
However, it was precisely because he was not strict that Li Hanlin did not let him read it. Why did the officials let them choose strange sentences from the examination questions? It was not a surprise, no one had heard of it. If it was just for the sake of sinking old sentences, wouldn't it be much faster to choose from the previous dynasty.
Wei Xuezheng was shocked and immediately understood. Although he is not in the court, he understands the solemnity of this time. And the good sentences of the scholars, as soon as they are settled, will be sung immediately. This is still a lot of miles away from the Queen Mother's birthday.
"What Master Li said is that the lower officials should remember. ”
When Li Hanlin saw that he understood, he naturally didn't chase after him, but said: "Since the judge has read Wu Jie's volume, for the sake of fairness, the first volume, the adult will avoid suspicion and will not read the file." ”
Wei Xuezheng nodded: "It should be so, but this official can bet with you that Ning Caichen will definitely be able to take this first." ”
Li Hanlin said slowly: "Don't make this bet with Lord Wei, Ning Caichen's volume, even if the name is pasted, it can be seen at a glance." The paper of the first class of the Jinshi Department was placed in the examination room of the academy, just like the one standing among the chickens. ”
The two principal and deputy examiners laughed at the same time, which diluted their conflict for a while.
The first session of the quarterly exam has ended, and the papers have been handed in.
The next question will be sent in the early hours of tomorrow morning, so candidates can rest for the night to recharge their batteries.
Although it is a quarterly exam, very few people learn from Ning Caichen to hand in the papers, and the scholars who have only a few words at home will not go out.
Although the Song Dynasty is known for paying equal attention to words and words, it is the first exam after all, and those people who are in the ordinary world not only did not submit the papers in advance this time, but also did not leave the examination house after submitting the papers. Therefore, after handing in the papers, it naturally made everyone nervous.
As for Ning Caichen, he was so low-key that no one knew that he was a great talent in Hangzhou.
Since his identity is unknown. Ordinary scholars did not dare to learn from him. Those who have a head and a face know it, and they are even more eager for him to leave quickly, so as not to rob him of his place.
After two full days of exhaustion, the highly tense nerves relaxed, and the oil lamp was lit up in the Kausheri for the first time. Some laughed in a low voice, looking quite proud, others let out a suppressed cry, and some cried and laughed for a while, as creepy as a night owl.
The officials first scolded and tried to quiet the soldiers, but it turned out to be useless, so it was up to them, anyway, when they were tired of tossing, they would be quiet.
The candidates are too nervous and need to relax and vent their agitated emotions.
The examination room has nothing to do with life and death, fame is higher than life and death, and there have always been many strange things. Die in the examination room, go crazy in the examination room, or soar into the sky from then on, as if there is an invisible hand playing with thousands of fates.
Although this is a quarterly exam, there has been a lot of movement. It was as if these officials did not know that they themselves were an invisible pressure on the scholars.
Maybe they know, but they don't care anymore.
They don't care, but they can't send people, especially the poor people in Hangzhou City. Therefore, the officials lit incense and candles in front of the statue and burned some paper money, which made the whole examination room gloomy.
Although Ning Caichen rushed to Hangzhou, he did not rush into the examination room. This tense atmosphere is avoided.
And he's worried about it now. Because yesterday he saw with his own eyes the terrible of the big demon.
It was just a hot day, and she almost took Ning's mother's surname. What should he do if he really gets to the Golden Mountain?
As a white and fan, since he came to this world, he has never seriously considered the matter of flooding the gold mountain.
He always thought that the water was just a mountain of gold. In the dynasties of later generations, when will there be no drought?
But that's just what I watched on TV, and I didn't feel it personally, and every time there was a big flood, it seemed to be saved by manpower, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
But now......
Cow ghost snake god, he is not afraid, he can even knock on the door and save Ning's mother. But the battle of the drought fish made him know that the power of heaven and earth is terrible, and this is only the heat of the drought itself, if it is replaced by the real power of heaven and earth, what can he do as a scholar?
Do you want to use your chest to block the water like the soldiers of later generations? He doesn't think that by doing that, he can stop the water from flooding the golden mountain.
Since I knew Xu Xian, I have frequently participated in the life of Xu Xian's family. When he knew that the White Snake had appeared, he immediately went to see it in person. I always thought it was for my relatives and for Xu Xian's good. Now I know that I am nothing more than myself. I'm afraid to die!
As a law student, I had long forgotten what sincerity was, and even though I didn't tell myself clearly, I subconsciously did it when faced with the danger to my own life. It's really a good way to learn a sense of self-preservation.
I also said that the people of the future generations have no family affection, and they resent my parents' abandonment of me. I am afraid that I am just a hypocrite, and if I had not escaped the suffering of death, I am afraid I would not have thought of this.
