Chapter 92 (Seeking further reading) The overall results of the county examination are announced
The county examination is over, and all the candidates and their relatives have not dispersed in front of the examination booth.
Ye Chongwen felt that it was inappropriate as soon as he said it, and it was already too late to take it back.
The scholar surnamed Wang sneered, "He didn't even pass the Boy Examination. Now he can answer such a simple question incorrectly and still wants to be on the list. It's really the most ridiculous thing in the world!"
As soon as I walked out of the entrance to the examination room, I met someone who disappointed me, which was really unlucky.
A scholar next to him tried to persuade him, "We have worked hard for many days for the county exam, and now we have finally finished it, so why bother arguing here?"
The scholar surnamed Wang snorted coldly and pointedly said: "Wang has a great future, but he just doesn't like some people who think too highly of themselves just for the sake of fame and reputation. Don't go to someone's grave and cry on someone's grave if you fail the exam."
”
Chen Ping held down Ye Chongwen who was about to rush forward and said, "Don't worry about him. We have done our best. We will just go back and wait for news."
The scholar surnamed Wang kept pestering and said unforgivingly, "Yes, we should prepare earlier, after all, we have to come back in three years."
But Chen Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "You don't have to play these deliberately targeted tricks. We won't fall into the trap. Success or failure will be revealed in seven days."
The scholar surnamed Wang also frowned and shouted coldly: "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it?" Chen Ping stared at him sharply and said, "You have been in the academy before, so you must know a thing or two about the abilities of the three of us. Today I deliberately provoked trouble outside the examination room. If anything happens,
, will inevitably be accused of disrespecting the examination room, and he will be deposed in the moment of writing."
Ye Chongwen and He Qingxuan broke into cold sweat on their backs after hearing this. If this is true, this person has a vicious mind.
The scholar surnamed Wang looked embarrassed, "Chen Ping, don't be too self-righteous!"
"Oh? Isn't it? Then you can continue shouting here, we won't accompany you."
Chen Ping turned around and left without taking any action.
The scholar surnamed Wang had a gloomy expression on his face. He looked at the three people leaving and spat hard, "Bah, I reacted pretty quickly."
Back on the carriage, Li Yang said after hearing what happened just now.
"You should take today as a warning, be careful in everything in the future, and be cautious in your words and deeds."
The three of them nodded solemnly, knowing that what Li Yang said was reasonable.
Chen Ping lifted the car curtain, took one last look at the examination booth in the distance, and murmured: "Seven days."
......
Candidates leave the examination room, the examination room is closed, and the examiners remain where they are.
Because the name system is adopted, several marking officers only look at the answer sheet and outline it with ink pen.
There are nearly two hundred candidates in the three examination rooms, and it is very good to be able to take out twenty or thirty people.
For the marking officer, it is not difficult to select outstanding people, but what is difficult is to judge the high and low among them.
Magistrate Wu was sitting upright, holding an answer sheet in his hand.
"This person's handwriting is passable, but he doesn't know what to say when answering questions. The whole article is flattering and full of absurdity. It's a waste of time."
He frowned and threw the answer sheet in the waiting room, then picked up another copy, his expression slightly relieved.
"The handwriting is neat and beautiful, and the answer to the question is meaningful...not bad."
Looking at the explanations of the scriptures, they are quite accurate and not clichéd.
Especially the poetry is eye-catching.
"What a proud sentence!"
The other marking officers were immersed in marking, and when they heard this, they couldn't help but look up.
I saw Magistrate Wu with a smile on his lips, stood up and said, "Listen and see: There are three thousand trees at the head of the inkstone-washing pool, with flowers blooming and colorful traces of light ink. The color does not need to be praised by others, it carries my pure energy and fills the universe...
..What a sentence that fills the world with my pure energy! This frosty and clear posture is ready to come out!"
A good poem can sometimes be like the spring breeze blowing on the face, making people feel refreshed.
A marking official reminded, "Your Majesty, this poem alone would be a masterpiece. However, this dynasty has never paid much attention to poetry, so we are afraid that this person will focus on poetry and make false plans."
Magistrate Wu nodded and quickly took out the policy essay answer sheet. After looking at it carefully, he said in surprise: "This boy advocates the theory of pure ministers. He has a very sophisticated mind, but he is still a child who has not yet reached the top."
He handed the roll out, and everyone nodded after reading it one by one.
"This boy must have a profound family background!"
"Be the head of the case!"
"Second!"
"Second!"
Magistrate Wu immediately waved his pen and circled the rankings.
Seven days flew by.
Before dawn, Chen Ping was dragged into a carriage and brought to the square in front of the examination shed.
Ye Chongwen looked excited, "Hurry up, go and see if we are on the list!"
"There must be one, but I don't know where it is?" He Qingxuan was very calm.
Before the three of them could get to the front, they saw someone being crowded out. It was the scholar surnamed Wang.
I didn’t want to pay attention to them, but the scholar surnamed Wang saw them and said, "How dare you come? There are only thirty people on the list, and your names are not even there!"
How could Ye Chongwen believe his lies and push his way to the front to look at the list?
I saw that there were indeed no three names on the list on the public noticeboard.
The scholar surnamed Wang gloated, "It looks good, don't be dazzled. Hahahaha!"
The people nearby noticed the movement and lowered their heads to whisper.
"Look, I would say that some people are just trying to gain fame and reputation. They just relied on Ye Wenchang's protection to gain the reputation of being a child prodigy. Fortunately, they were discovered by the court, so they didn't waste their spot in the boy examination!" Chen Ping pointed at the list and reminded: "Chongwen, don't worry, the list hasn't been finished yet."
The scholar surnamed Wang folded his hands and said with a sneer: "It's still fanciful. Is it possible that the county government released the results in two times? Some people still need to recognize the reality and decide whether they are dragons or snakes. Don't embarrass yourself again." "It's okay if you don't know how to do arithmetic. Don't you know how to count? There are only twenty-seven people on this list, and the names of three others have not yet been announced."
After Chen Ping's reminder, everyone looked at the list carefully, and sure enough, there were only twenty-seven names on the list.
The scholar surnamed Wang was eager to show off, but did not pay attention to observe. His face instantly turned red.
At this moment, a voice came, "Are you Chen Ping?"
Everyone turned to look, and Magistrate Wu, who was wearing a tiger-crown green robe, had strode up to them and looked at him with a gentle expression.
Chen Ping quickly bowed and said yes.
The scholar surnamed Wang took over and introduced: "That's right, Lord County Master. This is Chen Ping, Ye Wenchang's disciple. He used to dream of participating in the boy examination, but he didn't have any real talent and knowledge, so he failed today."
Magistrate Wu was silent for a moment and asked: "Then who are you?"
"Boy Wang Linsheng!" Wang Linsheng looked at Chen Ping arrogantly and said, "Twenty-third in the county examination!"
Magistrate Wu looked at him deeply and asked: "Who told you that Chen Ping failed the exam?"
Everyone was startled.
Magistrate Wu turned around and walked up the steps of the square and announced loudly: "This is the county examination for the first year of my new appointment. I have specially made a separate list for the top three. Please take a look."
Two government servants walked out of the examination room carrying a big red public notice board.
The public notice clearly stated: The county case leader is Chen Ping of Huating Academy!
