Chen Xi can tell the quality of the article at a glance. If this article is really from the "female Zhuge", even if she goes to the examination field, she can pass the scholar without any accident. As for whether she can pass the examination, it is difficult for Chen Xi to judge, because it is not enough to pass the examination these days. In addition to performing on the spot, it also depends on the preferences of the examiner and many off-site recruitment outside the examination room.

With his literary talent, it is definitely more than enough to be a "primary school teacher".

Ma Jiu asked, "Master, who wrote it?"

"Not signed."

Chen Xi put down the letter and said, "But what else is left?"

Ma Jiu recalled carefully, shook his head and said, "Master, I have seen nothing else in this letter."

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Let's do it, and then post a notice and promote it in the city. I said that my master will pay two taels of silver per month and ask the gentleman to come back to teach the young master. Everyone can register. The official will give the question and the final winner can serve as the Shen family's western seat."

Although Ma Jiu didn't understand why Chen Xi was so troublesome, he nodded and waited for Chen Xi to write the notice, he immediately went out to post it and advertised it.

Since you are selecting a teacher publicly, you must set the salary price a little higher and give some gifts during festivals. As for whom you are selected, it depends on how you learn. Chen Xi will not deliberately favoritism.

Since the "female Zhuge" claims to be good at learning and dares to come to the governor's office to submit a self-recommendation letter, he should not be afraid of competing with those men, at most wearing men's clothing.

I pretended not to know and asked you to take the exam together and make the selection.

As soon as the news came out, the entire Guangzhou Prefecture caused a sensation.

The governor personally asked someone to go back to teach the "Young Master". As for whether this young master was Lord Shen's son, younger brother, or a person from the same clan, it is hard to say.

Others know that Chen Xi is only seventeen years old and cannot give birth to a son who can enlighten him, but if the governor Chen wants his son to become successful, it is very likely that he will study for his three or four-year-old son.

Chen Zhuangyuan himself is the top scholar at the age of thirteen, and his son is of course the best among people. He may be a child prodigy at the age of two or three, and can recite poems and essays.

Two taels of silver a month, twenty-four taels of salary a year.

I worked hard to get a scholar and was able to get a good student in the annual exam. I only received four taels of silver every year. Moreover, the salary of twenty-four taels does not conflict with the salary of the student in the rank of the student. I could also be under the same roof as the governor, and I might be appreciated by the governor, promoted to a staff member, and even be invincible in the imperial examination.

There are people in the court who can be sent to the county magistrate if they pass the imperial examination. This is not impossible.

He has a high salary and can build connections. As soon as the news came out, all the teachers in the city were happy. Many of them who had taught and educated themselves and made a living came to apply for the job. If they chose it, their future would be bright. If they didn’t, they would meet the governor and governor and listen to their teachings.

Many people actually just want to see how many real talents and knowledge this third-rank governor has. Since you want to take the school to learn from us, you always have to come up with something real to convince us, right?

The day of selection is set at the tenth day of February, and the location of the selection examination is set up in the backyard of the official post where the governor's yamen is located in order to avoid criticism.

According to the number of applicants, more than 40 test tables were set up, and eighteen tables were temporarily added. Many people came to watch, but they could only go outside the back door and could not enter the yard.

Those who come to participate in the selection do not need to bring paper and pen, and the Governor’s Office provides it, nor do they need to search. After all, it is not that the imperial examination is not afraid of cheating, and the exam questions are given by Shen Xi.

Chen Xi was the chief examiner, but he was not an invigilator. Even if his work was very leisurely, he could not be displayed in front of the people. Zhu Qi and Ma Jiu took the blame for invigilating the exam. Chen Xi asked someone to print the exam questions and send them to the examination room. He drank tea in the lobby and waited for someone to complete the exam paper.

After seeing the Qiqi in the backyard, Zhu Hong came back and said to Chen Xi: "Master, we seem to be similar to the imperial examination. I heard that the child students in the gate took the exam in this way."

Chen Xi glared at him: "I have also taken the exam all the way. Don't you know? Go to the backyard to stare. If there are any cheating, please go out."

Zhu Hong took the order in disappointment.

Chen Xi put down the teacup, picked up the homemade quill and started writing. It was nothing else, but a martial arts novel written for the naughty child Zhu Houzhao.

In the past six months, he has sent six batches of martial arts novels to the capital. The first three batches have accumulated over the years, and they are almost written immediately afterwards. The ones currently written are already within the seventh batch.

Although it is suspected that letting naughty children read martial arts novels mislead children, in order to make the future emperor remember him, some things still have to be done, which is a way for Chenxi to manage power.

The child is very forgetful when he grows up. A friend who has not seen him for three years will be unfamiliar with him, let alone a gentleman with age gap and generation gap.

...

...

The exam time is one hour, with a total of three test questions, and everyone is the same, so the selection criteria are relatively clear.

After the paper was collected, Chen Xi did not deliberately ask if there was a "female Zhuge". However, from what he had checked before, the woman should have come, but after all, she came to a public place, so she was wearing men's clothes. Chen Xi did not go to the backyard, so she didn't know who it was.

After the exam, the backyard began to clamor because the questions Chen Xi gave were too "tricky".

The first question is the production of the four books. The title is "It is better to have no books than to believe in books all the time". The phrase comes from "Mencius·安年安年", which means the text that records events. When there is an emphasis on excessive and excessive, scholars should distinguish it clearly, and not believe it too much, which will be harmful to the meaning.

This is a knowledge that many of the teachers are good at. They think that this selection exam is just like this. At most, it is to study hard, and it is not much different from the college or provincial examinations.

The second question is strategy question, which is "teaching according to your aptitude", which is a bit difficult for the teacher who takes the exam. Fortunately, most of them have participated in the provincial examination and have also "strategic" examinations in the provincial examination. They will more or less come into contact with them when preparing for the exam. However, the question Chenxi is too broad and makes it difficult to answer.

The third question surprised many gentlemen present. Chen Xi actually published a "composition topic" and gave four paintings, allowing people to write an article of more than 800 words based on these four paintings.

Although a scholar has been dealing with the imperial examinations throughout his life and doing various articles, the title of this kind of essay is still only seen in his life, while the allusions in the pictures are the familiar folk story "Sima Guang smashes the jar", but it seems to be biased, because the end of the picture is the jar not smashed... This is a resultless topic, in order to exert the imagination of the person who does the questions.

Obviously this is a question of historical allusion: If a seven-year-old child can smash a large water tank to save people, there will not be so many situations in the future where glass cannot be broken in critical moments.

It is obvious that the story writer has never studied how much strength a seven-year-old child can have, how big a stone can he lift, and how hard the cylinder is. He just wrote an unrealistic story to praise a minister of power in the dynasty. Using this story to remind future generations is very inappropriate in Shen Xi's educational philosophy.

In history, there are many "celebrity allusions" made up for political purposes, which is a small black spot in the history of education.

Now Chen Xi puts the story in front of you. You can evaluate the fact that Sima Guang smashed the jar but did not smash it, and see if you can break the worldly prejudice.

The gentleman I am looking for cannot be shackles of the times, at least he can know how to be flexible and flexible like Mr. Feng.

The people in the backyard had to wait until Chen Xi announced the results before leaving. After all, no one was willing to leave without even seeing the governor. Zhu Qi came forward on behalf of Chen Xi and said, "Sir, my master has given me instructions to prepare a gift for you, and I will serve as a Shu Xiu. Please come back!"

It is impossible for Chen Xi to finish reading more than fifty test papers in a short time, so it takes some time to study and compare them. However, in order to make the people who come to take the exam feel better, everyone will give them some gifts to take as a companion to the exam, and the green leaves are set against the red flowers.

If Chen Xi hadn't been there, the people who came would have long called Chen Xi a humiliating person. Since it was an exam, they should focus on articles of sages instead of giving some questions that were left out. Many people even did not understand what the "Four-frame comics" drawn by Chen Xi meant.

Chen Xi was looking at the test papers while taking the exam paper, Zhu Qi came in and said, "Master, most of the people have left, but there is still a young man who stayed and said he wanted to wait for you. I have a few words to tell you."

“See you.”

Chen Xi waved his hand, "Tell him that I am busy with official duties and have no time to see guests."

Zhu Qi was a little embarrassed: "Master, I have told him this too, but that young master said that the master must choose him as his husband this time. Instead of going back and waiting, it is better to stay and wait for the master to see him. Master, will he send someone to bomb him away?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but frown. This man was so angry that even the most famous scholar in Guangzhou might not have the courage to say such things in the backyard of the governor's yamen.

He narrowed his eyes and said, "I want to see who has such a big tone in!"

"Yes, Master."

Zhu Qi shook his head helplessly and took the order and left.

Chen Xi thought to himself, it was not the "female Zhuge" who came to send his own recommendation letter yesterday that he refused to leave? Didn't this woman know that he could decide this selection alone? She would not miss her name or copy the paper. She also knew yesterday's font and could be sentenced to death at any time?

Chen Xi was thinking about Zhu Qi coming back, followed by a gentle young man, but he said that the young man was very handsome, with a chest that was not bulging and had an Adam's apple. No matter how he looked, he didn't look like a woman dressed in a man, but he was not tall and could not be considered a man who was "Angzang Seven Foot". Although he was handsome, his words were a little vulgar.

Chen Xi felt relieved and thought to himself: "It turns out not."

Such a young young man dared to say that he must have been selected in front of a group of old scholars. He bowed to Chen Xi and said, "I have met Mr. Shen in Panyu, Guangdong."

Chen Xi waved his hand and signaled Zhu Qi to go aside first, then lowered his head: "Young Master Su, what's the matter with you coming to find me?"

"I'm waiting for the lower-level Lord Shen, please call the seat of your mansion." The young man named Su leaned over and replied.

"Okay, you have ambition, but what if I don't order you?" Chen Xi asked.
