Chapter 174: The Examination Paper on the Case
"Well, that's a pretty good one!"
Xu He put down the exam paper in his hand, and finally showed a satisfied look.
"My lord, these are the other two examination papers of this candidate, both of which can be listed as excellent!"
Without waiting for his instructions, an examiner handed him the candidate's remaining two examination papers.
Xu He took it with interest, looked down slightly for a while, and then raised his head and laughed heartily: "Okay!" Very good! Not surprisingly, this son will definitely be at the top of the first list, and even Huiyuan! ”
Next, Xu He handed the candidate's exam paper to the other examiners beside him, who had already been polluted by the unsightly exam papers in front of them, and now they urgently needed a good exam paper to wash up.
After reading it, all the examiners nodded with satisfaction and praised it, but when he came to Su Shu, he showed something strange.
Sensing his strange appearance, Xu He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Master Su, could it be that you recognize who this candidate is?" ”
Su Shu subconsciously nodded slightly: "My lord, if the subordinate officials are not mistaken, the handwriting on this exam paper belongs to my nephew." ”
"Oh?"
Xu He was a little surprised, and then congratulated with a smile: "Master Su, congratulations!" ”
"Congratulations, Master Su!" The rest of the examiners also congratulated.
"Master Su, if I'm not mistaken, you only seem to have one nephew, right? And I participated in the last exam, and I got the B list, when did a nephew come out again? At this time, the puzzled voice of a certain examiner sounded.
Su Shu explained with a smile: "This nephew is not related to me by blood, he is the only son of my old friend, from Huai'an Mansion. ”
Oh, I see!
Everyone showed a look of sudden realization.
Then, he saw Su Shu smiled mysteriously: "Speaking of which, this old friend of mine, you adults should have some impressions." ”
"Oh? Who is it? ”
Sure enough, everyone was aroused, even the chief examiner Xu He.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Su Shu showed a satisfied smile, and then said, "Zhang Shuzhi, the dean of Huai'an Mansion Academy!" ”
Zhang Shuzhi?
It turned out to be him!
Everyone couldn't help but be a little surprised, but this person resolutely gave up being an official in the capital and went to Huai'an Mansion College to teach, this incident also caused some turmoil in the capital that year, and they naturally still had some impressions.
"It turned out to be him, it's not surprising to be able to teach such a student, with this son, this Huai'an Mansion Academy can reproduce the scenery of the past, but it follows his wishes, hehe......"
Xu He smiled kindly, he naturally knew that the results of the imperial examination of Huai'an Mansion College in recent years were not good, and he had begun to lose his name, and he had also heard that Zhang Shuzhi, the dean of Huai'an Mansion Academy, was seeking various ways to restore the glory of Huai'an Mansion Academy.
Next, the examiners began to mark the exam papers.
It seems that most of the excellent exam papers in this exam are gathered in the last part, and every once in a while, I see the exam papers that can make people nod their heads from time to time, although they are not as good as the nephew of Lord Su Shusu, but it is not bad.
The chief examiner Xu He's face had a smile on his face, which was different from the gloom of the previous two days.
As the examiner here, his every move can affect the atmosphere here, so the atmosphere is much better and more relaxed than the previous two days.
About three hours or so passed.
"Huh? Ladies and gentlemen, I have found another good strategy, which is comparable to the one of Master Su's nephew! Another startle sounded.
After the examiners read them one by one, the conclusions given are the same, these two strategies have their own strengths, and it is impossible to distinguish which is higher and which is lower for a while.
Since it is difficult to distinguish which is higher and which is lower in terms of strategy, let's compare the two subjects of poetry and essays.
Poetry, in general, is on par with strategy.
Essays, this subject is easy to distinguish, although the two are as close as the first two subjects in this subject, but in the end, this student has done the right question more than the nephew of Master Su Shusu.
This student has an extremely slight advantage over the nephew of Master Su Shusu!
"It seems that Huiyuan is none other than this", an examiner sighed.
All the examiners agreed, because there were very few uncorrected exam papers left, and they could basically be determined.
The examiner Xu He nodded with satisfaction, and said with emotion: "This son finally didn't lose Lord Zhou's face." ”
Lord Zhou?
The examiners were slightly stunned, could it be that Lord Zhou who could make Lord Xu like this?
Right! Absolutely! Didn't that son's son participate in the imperial examination this year?
"Huh...... I heard that Lord Zhou was three yuan and first, if this son can also be three yuan and first this time, father and son are both three yuan and first, it is inevitably a good story", a certain examiner laughed.
"Exactly! Yes, extremely! ”
The examiners echoed, and it could not be seen that they had great respect for that Lord Zhou between their words and expressions.
"Master Wei, what's wrong with you?"
But at this moment, the doubtful voice of the chief examiner Xu He suddenly sounded, which immediately attracted the attention of all the examiners.
I saw that Master Wei, who was sitting in the corner, turned a deaf ear to the question of the examiner Xu, and looked unmoved, still sitting in his place, staring directly at the exam papers on the case.
"Ahem, ahem, Lord Xu......"
The examiner, who had a good relationship with Master Wei, couldn't help but walk over, patted him on the shoulder, and subconsciously glanced at the exam paper on the case.
He stopped abruptly halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly widening and protruding, just like Lord Nawei, staring directly at the exam paper on the case.
Seeing this, Xu He's brows couldn't help frowning, and he walked over in person, he wanted to see what the hell the two of them were doing!
The two didn't notice that Xu He had walked behind them, and they were still staring directly at the exam papers on the case.
Xu He's brows couldn't help frowning deeper, and his head leaned forward slightly, looking at the exam paper on the case.
What kind of exam paper can make them so fascinated to see it, they don't even know when he comes behind him!
Seeing the first glance of the exam paper, Xu He couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction, this candidate's words are really good!
When he saw the contents of the exam paper, he was first stunned, then a look of surprise appeared on his face, and then, like the previous two examiners, his eyes were staring directly at the exam paper on the case.
All the examiners were stunned, what's wrong? Could it be that there is something shocking written on the exam paper?
Even if it is, it shouldn't be like this, those two have been in officialdom for many years, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen? What's more, it's Lord Xu!
With such doubts, all the examiners also gathered around.
And Su Shu fell behind, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, such a scene reminded him of when he was the chief examiner of the Huai'an Township Examination three months ago......
Could it be that the exam paper belongs to that kid?
Although the examiners were surrounded by the examiners, there were too many people, and the position was too small, so only the examiners at the front could see the content of the exam paper on the case.
As soon as they saw the content on the exam paper, they were just like the three people in front of them, they were all staring straight ahead, no matter how they shouted, they were unmoved, which really made the examiners who didn't see the exam papers in the back itch, and they couldn't wait to get through the crowd and get in directly, but they didn't have the ability.
