Chapter 85: Home (three shifts) (1/2)
Chapter 85 Homecoming (three shifts)
The innkeeper learned that there was a test case leader among the candidates, and immediately refunded Xiao Liulang's room rate and also packaged meals for a few people. They are the most expensive wines and dishes. Xiao Er went out to buy.
Feng Lin said that he had already been admitted as a talent, but his grades were not top-notch, and naturally he had never received such treatment.
Following Xiao Liulang this time, he was a good life.
It is worth mentioning that Xiao Liulang did so well in the test, and even his article was circulated on the day of the list. Naturally, many people who wanted to make friends with Xiao Liulang came, all of them were turned away by Xiao Liulang.
The scientific examination system of this dynasty has been greatly adjusted compared with the previous dynasty. After the government examination of the previous dynasty, it has to wait two to three months before the examination, but the examination system of this dynasty is tightly ranked on the second day of the government examination list.
During the ten days waiting for their results, most of the candidates spent their time in horror. They finally made sure that they had passed the exam, but they didn’t even have a chance to take a breather to enter the next round of the exam.
This undoubtedly increases the pressure on candidates.
There are two examinations in the hospital, each with eight-part essay and post scripture.
The difficulty of writing the scriptures is equivalent to that of the official examination, and the eight-part essay is still the subject of Zhuang Cishi.
Xiao Liulang has won two case leaders in a row, and then he won the first trial case of the hospital is the small three yuan.
It has been nearly ten years since Pingcheng has made a small three yuan. All the officials of the government have placed high hopes on Xiao Liulang. However, what everyone did not expect was that Xiao Liulang's post script turned out to be a blank paper.
The scope of the post-examination scripture and the post-examination scripture is not much different. It is still required to pass the three classics, but the number of questions is larger and the question type is more tricky, but it is not enough to say that it is not a blank paper.
Of course, every round of the test does not rule out that candidates may have various unexpected situations-once, a student put foul on the test paper, causing the entire test paper to be invalid.
It is a three-year rural examination, and a candidate's three-year hard work has been in vain.
But it's still too rare to pass a blank paper.
Especially the object of this blank scroll is Xiao Liulang, who left a deep impression on Zhuang Cishi in the official test.
If Zhuang Shishi remembered correctly, there were twelve examiners who checked the papers this time, and among them, eleven gave Xiao Liulang's eight-part essay a grade A sentence.
The only one who didn't judge a grade is Zhuang Cishi.
He gave Xiao Liulang B.
But if you know that Zhuang Shishi has given others all Ding, you can see how valuable Xiao Liulang's achievements are.
Eleven A, Tie Jing can be ranked in the top ten even if it is written, but Xiao Liulang ranks third from the bottom.
This surprised Zhuang Cishi.
He adjusted the test paper, only to find that it was a blank test paper.
Zhuang Cishi asked people to adjust the postscript test papers of Xiao Liulang's previous examinations.
If Xiao Liulang's post-scripting examination is very bad, this may be the case, but the post-script of Xiao Liulang's pre-examination is Quanjiajuan.
In other words, he was right in one question.
”And he only spent half an hour!” said the invigilator who came to deliver the test papers.
This invigilator was the one sitting directly opposite Xiao Liulang during the test.
The test paper is ambiguous, and after submitting it, I don’t know who the test paper belongs to. It’s just that after Xiao Liulang tested the chief test case, his stereotyped essays spread. The invigilator secretly went to the inn to see what the chief test case chief looked like, and he was able to write such a masterpiece. The result I found that the other party was the candidate who had only written the scriptures and essays for half an hour.
Zhuang Cishi's vision is too high.
It seemed to him nothing to be able to do everything right, but if it only took half an hour, it would be very amazing.
Among the people he has seen, the only person who can do better than this candidate is the late Zhaodu Xiaohou.
Zhuang Jishi immediately sent someone to the inn to ask Xiao Liulang about the situation.
”I didn't hand in a blank paper.” Xiao Liulang said.
If what Xiao Liulang said is true, then someone moved his test paper, which is a big deal.
The examination paper management of the imperial examination examination is quite strict. When each examinee submits the paper, two invigilators go to collect the paper together, and press their fingerprints at the same time when they are named, to prove that the examination paper was taken away by them.
Once there is a problem in the test paper, only the two of them will ask.
It is worth mentioning that all invigilators are matched by lottery after entering the venue. Like candidates, they can no longer contact the outside when they come in until the end of the exam.
It is easy to buy one of them, but it is too difficult to buy two at the same time, because no one can guarantee that the two bought will happen to be separated together, and there is no guarantee that they will happen to be assigned to the examination room where Xiao Liulang is located.
In spite of this, Luo Taishou still called the person who was taking the paper over for questioning, and both of them said that they did not have any irregularities.
”But nothing?”
”I don't know, the candidates will cover a piece of white paper on it before handing in the paper. This is also to prevent us from spying on his handwriting.”
Zhuang Cishi nodded, and then said to Luo Taishou: ”After the hands of the two of them, the test paper is obscured, right? The name will not be opened until all the invigilators have finished reviewing it. Then I am very curious, that person How did you recognize Xiao Liulang's test paper and successfully turn it into a blank paper?”
Taishou Luo thought for a while and said, ”There are two ways: one is to issue papers and the other is to read papers. Xiao Liulang is the leader of the test case, and he sits first during the hospital test. This is the rule. The first one is to be sent out. His test paper, then you can work on the test paper in advance, and even if you get nicknamed later, you can still recognize his test paper.
Alternatively, an examiner obtained the test papers of Xiao Liulang's house test and took down Xiao Liulang's notes. When reviewing the post scriptures, he recognized Xiao Liulang's test papers based on the notes.
Either way, there must be dirty hands and feet in the examiner who reads the papers! ”
The scoring officers of the government examination and the hospital examination are not the same batch, which is to prevent someone from memorizing the handwriting of the examinee, which affects the judgment of the examinee.
However, it is not ruled out that someone secretly obtained the test papers for the house exam. After all, the confidentiality of the test papers is greatly reduced after the completion of the examination.
Except for Zhuang Cishi, all 11 examiners were taken into the secret room and subjected to severe interrogation by Luo Taishou.
Under severe punishment, Luo Taishou really found out the real culprit.
That was a scoring examiner surnamed Wu. He had been working in Gongyuan for twenty years, and he looked like an antique on weekdays. Luo Taishou originally thought that he was the most unlikely.
It seems that non-betrayal is not because of a person's high morality, but because the bargaining chip is not high enough.
”That person gave me one thousand taels of silver and asked me to destroy Xiao Liulang's test paper. I originally prepared ink, intending to pretend that Xiao Liulang accidentally soiled the test paper. I have seen this situation a lot. They are all treated as waste papers, no one will verify it. But I haven't done it yet, Lord Wang, who was dispensed by me, is back.
I flicked my hand and splashed the ink on myself, and it was too late to find other ink. I happened to have a few blank test papers on hand, so I took one instead. ”
”What does that person look like?”
”He was covering his face, I didn't see it clearly.”
”Sound? How high?”
”I don't remember...really don't remember!”
Luo Taishou reported the results of the interrogation to Zhuang Cishi.
Generally speaking, if there was fraud in the imperial examination, all the examination papers would be invalidated and re-exam again. This would cause many candidates to lose their minds, not to mention the fact that the government was hurting their nerves and bones.
Exams have always been a combination of strength and luck. No one can guarantee that their next game will perform better than this one, and there is no guarantee that other candidates will not take advantage of the situation to catch up.
Of course, this is undoubtedly an opportunity for those who fail the exam.
The problem is that even if Xiao Liulang was replaced with a blank paper, he still passed the hospital examination with eleven Grade A and Grade B.
In other words, all those who should be admitted were admitted, and those who failed the list were supposed to fail the list. The only difference is that they may all be ranked first, while Xiao Liulang lost the top spot in the case.
Luo Taishou sighed: ”That person probably didn't expect that Xiao Liulang would still pass the hospital examination after all this is the case, but it is a pity that Xiao Liulang should have had a chance to become the case leader.”
The governor of Zhuang said in a serious tone: ”This matter can be big or small. If you look at it longer, it is a small matter; if you stop here in your life, then it will be a major event.”
The small three yuan is enough for a talented person to shine for a while, but it is only for a while.
If he really wants to make a name for himself, he must continue to take the examination for the township examination, and then he will go to Beijing to rush the examination after he is elected in the township examination.
Institute examination is not the end of everything, on the contrary, it is the starting point of the road to imperial examination.
Zhuang Shishi said: ”He has the power to decide this matter. You can ask him if he needs to retake the exam.”
The re-examination is not his own re-examination, but all the people who participated in the ambassador will go through the two exams of eight-part essay and post scripture again.
Premier Luo went to the inn.
He saw Xiao Liulang, tactfully explained his intentions, and asked Xiao Liulang if he would retake the exam.
Xiao Liulang didn't answer his words directly, but opened the window and let him look at the students who were exchanging their scores in the lobby on the first floor-the list had been released, the gray-headed faces who failed the exam, and the red faces.
At this moment, no one knows what he experienced inside.
