Case marking room

It was clearly during the day. The doors and windows of the review room were closed and the lights were brightly lit. Countless tall soldiers were stationed outside the door.

Three examiners sat upright on the stage, and more than a dozen examiners were in the lower head, with the papers in front of them filled with the test papers. They will carefully judge the test papers and present the best ones to the examiner.

The test paper has been re-reprinted before. At this time, all the copies are copied on the table, and the names are sealed with fire paint. In case the candidates leave marks and bribe the examiner. The original papers are all kept as reserved and shipped to the prefecture after the list is published.

The reviewers were quick to read, and they finished reading in less than one stick of incense. One person stood up and presented two test papers and statistics to the three examiners.

Among the 236 candidates, 37 of them were above C.

Both test papers presented are mathematics, ancient sayings, and allusions. There is no error.

It goes without saying who these two test papers are. The three examiners met and smiled and looked at the first test paper together.

"Look at me, my handwriting is fresh and elegant, and there is a bit of a shadow of calligraphy. I think there is a good gentleman, so it must be Xu Zhitian's test paper." The chief clerk praised, his love for talent was beyond words.

"Look at that Li Xianyuan." The county magistrate said anxiously. He was from a poor family and had a better impression of poor children like Li Xianyuan.

The chief clerk smiled and said to the examiner Wang, "Look, this makes our county magistrate anxious. Why are you anxious? We haven't read poetry and prose yet?"

As he spoke, he slowly unfolded the poem and read it.

Wangwen Peak

The deep water pen is intoxicating with fragrance,

The orchid musk deer is dripping, but I don’t talk about it.

Only through the poem, there are tears,

Fish return to the dragon and leaps on the apricot blossom platform.

The content of this poem is simple and you can understand it at first reading, but the lyrics are quite obscure. Although it is also considered a masterpiece, it always seems to be pretentious.

"This kid is quite ambitious and wants to have a carp jumping over the dragon gate." The county magistrate smiled and cursed, saying to the examiner Wang with a complacent heart: "What do you think, sir?"

"Brother." Wang Zhuanshen glanced at him and said lightly.

The county magistrate was so scared that he said: "Mr. Wang, you must have a higher vision than us in the new Beijing position, but this is just a test for a child, which is too harsh."

The chief clerk also hurriedly said, "Yes, why don't we take a look at Li Xianyuan's first."

The two were really afraid that the examiner Wang would rate Xu Zhitian’s test paper as B, so they hurriedly launched the Li Xianyuan test paper.

After glanced at the county magistrate, he nodded with satisfaction: "The handwriting is neat and even. Although it is not excellent, it is not a problem for people to find out."

Li Xianyuan has only been here for thirteen years and five months, and it is not enough to practice good handwriting.

"What about the poem he wrote with the interrupted vision?" asked the chief clerk.

The county magistrate unfolded the poem and read it slowly.

The Gulang Moon Tour

I don't know the month when I'm young,

Called a white jade plate.

I also suspect the Jade Terrace mirror,

Flying in the sky.

After finishing the study, the marking room became a little quiet.

The chief clerk narrowed his eyes on his fat face and savored the poetic atmosphere carefully. "I always feel that this poem is a little missing."

"The officials also feel the same way, as if..." The county magistrate wanted to speak but stopped. For some reason, he always felt something was wrong after reading this poem.

"This poem only has the first stanza, not the second stanza." Wang Zhukai, who was sitting upright, spoke at this time.

The two of them suddenly realized that no wonder they always had a faint regret in their hearts after reading this poem.

The county magistrate clapped his hands: "No wonder the strangeness was interrupted. This poem was only half written! This kid must have hidden his weaknesses! I want to ask him clearly!"

After saying that, he actually stood up from his seat. The chief clerk quickly grabbed him, laughing and crying: "Since people don't write, there must be his reason. Why are you anxious? Besides, the person is in Wuhou, and you are afraid that you will not be able to run away."

The county magistrate said anxiously: "I'm not willing! If I had written the poem in full, it might be the second Xu Weichang. How could such a talent be buried?"

"Maybe they are thinking this way." Wang Zhuancai, who had never spoken, suddenly spoke.

"I dare not speak nonsense about this poem, but looking at its first stanza, it is at least a work of Jingzhou. His 13 or 14-year-old young man suddenly became famous and would inevitably be attracted by wealthy families and be plagued by external things. Even no matter how genius is, he will eventually decline. His so hiding weakness proves that this boy is a little smart and can realize this point."

"Xu Zhitian's poems are pretentious, and Li Xianyuan's poems are full of artistic conception. Even if they are not the next stanza, they are better than the former. Who is the leader of the case? The two adults understand in their hearts."

The county magistrate and chief clerk looked at each other without a word, and finally bowed to Chief examiner Wang: "What does Lord Wang think of the evaluation of these two candidates?"

The examiner Wang waved his sleeves and wrote two big vermilion red characters on two test papers.

First

Both of them are of Class A.

After writing, Wang Zhuan said loudly: "Li Xianyuan is the first to test this Tongsheng! The list will be released tomorrow!"

...

On the other side, Li Xianyuan and Ji Canghai walked in the crowded streets one after another.

"Hey, you won't really go to the brothel, are you?"

"Otherwise, how can I not go around the brothel I dreamed of for thirteen years?" Li Xianyuan chuckled.

Ji Canghai suddenly walked a few steps and stood side by side with Li Xianyuan. His eyes were bright and he narrowed, and he reached out to pull Li Xianyuan's cheek: "Tell me who are you? I, Xianyuan, don't talk so much, have such a rich expression."

Li Xianyuan patted Kaiji Canghai's palm: "After the exam, the stone fell to the ground, and the mood was naturally good."

"Where did you and I know each other? What tricks did I use to deceive you and you discovered it. Tell me quickly!" Ji Canghai was having fun and was unyieldingly entangled with Li Xianyuan.

"Not good! Nothing good!"

A sudden sound came, interrupting the two of them to play. When they looked at them, they saw a young man who was not a big bull, two bulls, three bulls, and four bulls running from the distance of the street, shouting to attract the attention of a group of people.

"What's wrong?" Li Xianyuan asked.

The boy who didn't know was the big bull, two bulls, three bulls, and four bulls, was panting: "The big bull is gone, we have searched it all..."

"Not good! No good!" The sudden voice interrupted the words of the boy who didn't know was the big bull, Erniu, Sanniu, Siniu, and Siniu, and saw a boy who didn't know was the big bull, Erniu, Sanniu, Siniu, Siniu, and Siniu, running over from the distance of the street.

"What's wrong?" Li Xianyuan asked.

The boy who didn't know was the big bull, two bulls, three bulls, and four bulls was panting: "I found someone, but he was beaten!"

"It's okay, I'm just beaten up."

"It's okay to be beaten?" Ji Canghai widened his eyes. Li Xianyuan and the others followed two young men who were not sure about the big bull, two bulls, three bulls, and four bulls, walking around the streets and alleys, and finally came to a narrow and dark alley.

I don’t know if it was a boy with the big bull, two bulls, three bulls, and four bulls, taking care of the wall, and the nose and face were swollen. I don’t know if it was a boy with the big bull, two bulls, three bulls, and four bulls.

The young man who brought Li Xianyuan and the others came came, who was a big bull, two bulls, three bulls and four bulls, came forward and asked, "Second, how is he?"

"The big cow's skin is rough and thick, it's not a problem." Erniu poked the cheek of the boy who didn't know it was the big cow, three cows and four cows, and the latter cursed.

"But... the second brother." Another young man who didn't know was the big bull, Sanniu and Siniu said: "He is Siniu, not the big bull."
