After enduring the stench of for a day, the sky finally gradually darkened.

There are rules for the college examination, and the paper cannot be handed in on the day of the examination.

However, this is not absolute.

For example, in the Ming Dynasty in that time and space in later generations, Jin Sheng, a famous eight-strand literary master who died in the Ming Dynasty and fought against the Qing Dynasty and died in the country, asked the test question "Wouldn't it be said to be in place"!

He meditated all day but couldn't finish it.

At this time, everyone else handed in the papers, and he was the only one left.

The examiner asked someone to take a look, and saw that there was only one broken question on his paper.

So the magistrate asked the clerk to pull him out.

But when the scholar saw that he had broken the question, "those who are proud of the world are coerced by the king, and those who are raised by the Gushi are also", he couldn't help but be surprised.

On the spot, the official asked people to call him back, broke the rule that "following the candle" was not allowed, and personally lit a candle for him to finish writing this article.

Jin Sheng also became a student because of this.

When a cannon rang out at the gate, Xu He was startled.

In fact, he had already finished writing the article and could leave.

But because the invigilator was Yang Yinqiu, he was afraid that he would take the opportunity to find something, so he could only endure the stench and wait for the cannon to be fired.

As soon as the cannon rang out, he was the first to get up and hand in the papers.

Yang Yinqiu looked at him meaningfully and did not speak.

Xu He bowed to the hall and hurriedly walked out of the gate.

When passing by Jiulong Field again, Chu Yuan, who came out together, covered his nose and said, "I said Brother He'er, the smell of your body ......."

Xu He retched in his throat when he heard this, and almost didn't throw it up, and he couldn't help but be glad that he didn't eat anything at noon.

However, he had to endure the smell and high-speed operation of his brain for a day, which really made him a little unbearable.

When he came to the dragon gate, Ding Ze saw that his son-in-law began to stumble when he walked, and he ignored the smell of Xu He's body, directly took the test basket in his hand, put Xu He on his back, and hurriedly walked towards the rented carriage in the square outside......

-------------------------------------

The night passed.

Because of the rotation of the counties in the hospital examination, the time was urgent, Yang Yinqiu got up early in the morning, and gathered a set of teams to mark the college examination papers and started work.

Peng Ruyu, as a promotion officer, will definitely participate.

However, his job is mainly the responsibility of the examination room to arrange these hosts, to participate in the marking, which is purely the rule of the imperial court.

The children's papers are first selected by the marking officer.

These people would write comments on good papers and put them in bamboo baskets on the ground.

The officials collected it and sent it to Yang Yinqiu's case.

Yang Yinqiu was a student official for the first time, and he still felt quite fresh about this set of processes, so that when he got the first test paper, he geared up, fantasizing that he could also get out of a few future jinshi and champions from his hands.

Peng Ruyu looked at Yang Yinqiu's energy, knowing that it was the first time that his eldest girl had been on the sedan chair, and she was a little dissatisfied with this person's serious appearance and impetuous behavior in her heart.

However, he was just promoted to the official and sat with him, so he didn't show it on his face, just slowly tasted the tea, as if he didn't see it.

But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is very cruel.

The volume in front of Yang Yinqiu's eyes, the articles were mostly vulgar and unwritten in the eyes of a genuine second-class jinshi.

Among the more than ten papers in the front, none of them were selected.

Gradually, Yang Yinqiu also felt bored.

Just when he was bored and opened an article, he suddenly came to his senses.

I saw that the question was broken: "The so-called filial piety of the saint is also the one who is virtuous." ”

Yang Yinqiu nodded, this problem is very appropriate and closely related to the theme.

He himself is the person who wrote the question, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to answer the full text, so the person who can solve the question so clearly is the first person in the dozen or so volumes.

Yang Yinqiu then looked down.

I saw a sentence in the text: All things are cultivated because of their virtue, and the rivers on the earth are covered because of their disgust.

Yang Yinqiu's eyes lit up, and the two sentences in this article are to illustrate the two sentences of "the planter cultivates it, and the overturning person overthrows it", which not only combines the further explanation of the topic, but also makes the battle neat and catchy.

A smile appeared at the corner of Yang Yinqiu's mouth: "I caught you!" ”

Looking further down, sure enough, the whole text is almost always written in the form of pun, but some places are a bit far-fetched.

But in Yang Yinqiu's view, this is not surprising.

As a teenager, it is not easy for Xu He to write articles of this level.

He finally nodded, smiled and handed the volume to Peng Ruyu and said, "Master Peng, you look at the child's article, it is quite well written, and this official has read it for so long, and he can only catch his eye!" ”

Peng Ruyu took it and looked at it, then nodded and said, "It is indeed a bit literary and talented, the great grandmaster has a discerning eye!" However, the ending is a little sloppy, and the author of this article should be a young man, anticlimactic, a pity! ”

Hearing the word [Wencai], Yang Yinqiu was even more sure that this should be Xu He's article.

And Peng Ruyu's comments in the second half hit his heart.

He was still a little psychologically clean, and felt that suppressing Xu He was contrary to his identity as a scholar, but now that you Peng Governor has said the same, then he will record Xu He in a low voice, and no one can say a word.

Thinking of this, he nodded with a red pen at the end of the article and placed the scroll in the basket that was still empty on his left-hand side.

Yangzhou Prefecture admits about 300 people in each college examination, and about 30 people in each county.

After reading the paper, the Grand Master felt that it could be accepted, so he would mark it with [o], [-], and [·] at the end of the test paper.

These three marks correspond to each other, and there are three grades of high record, acceptable, and the end of the list.

[distinguished] Xu He's article so quickly, which can be regarded as a major event that made Yang Yinqiu let go of his heart.

Next, he relaxed a lot between his eyebrows, and even saw some articles that couldn't be seen at all according to his standards, but he read that he was in a good mood and read that the other party had one or two sentences that were well written, and he also accepted them.

After lunch, the preliminary examination work of the marking officer was basically over.

The following is Yang Yinqiu's own business.

At this moment, he has long lost the excitement of the early morning, and can only turn through them mechanically.

To tell the truth, in this state, he is more fair in reviewing the text and is not swayed by emotions.

In the afternoon, just as he was about to stand up and move around, suddenly, a scroll that he had just opened caught his attention.

I saw that the topic of this article was [the greatness of holy filial piety, and the place of virtue is also].

According to his standards, the solution of this question is actually a bit ordinary.

But I'm afraid of comparison.

For example, the one in the morning [Xu He] broke the topic, [The so-called filial piety of the saint, the virtue is also issued], in contrast, this article uses fewer words, but the interpretation is more concise than the one in the morning.

"Finally saw a somewhat interesting problem-solving!" Yang Yinqiu perked up and held the volume in his hand and read it.
