The examinees around were confused when they heard the examiner's words. It turned out that the examinee who used the examination room as a kitchen was the rumored young man Jie Yuan Lin Pingzhi. Many people thought that this young man Jie Yuan was really unique.
After collecting Li Jie's answer sheet, the examiner first registered the information of the candidates in the record book. After the registration was completed, he sent it to the sealing office to seal the test paper. The difference from the provincial examination was that the examination was divided into three papers for the North and South schools.
When selecting a candidate, in addition to placing a protective seal on the candidate's name during the sealing process, the examination papers must also be divided into three papers, North, South, and Middle, according to the candidate's place of origin.
After the test paper is sealed, it is sent to the transcription office to be transcribed according to the number of words and sentences in the original test paper. It must be transcribed in regular script. The candidate's test paper is written with ink pen, the transcription is with red pen, and the examiner uses green pen. After transcribing, the name of the transcriber is attached. If there is
If typos or omissions are discovered during reading, the transcriber will be held accountable.
After the transcription is completed, the red scroll will be sent to the Dual Reading Office. In the Dual Reading Office, one person will read the red scroll and one person will read the ink scroll. Two people will work in pairs. They must read each word carefully, and there will be no difference after reading the attached book.
.
After completing the three processes, hand the ink and ink scrolls to the examination paper examiner. The examination paper examination officer will divide the examination paper into two types. The external examination examination examination officer will be responsible for proofreading the ink and ink examination papers and separating the two papers.
The record-receiving officer, the sealing officer, the copying officer, the reading officer, and the external collecting officer all belong to the outer curtain officer. The examiner and his fellow examiners live in Hengjiantang after entering Gongyuan, and they also work here. In front of Hengjiantang
There is a hanging curtain to show that it is separated from the Zigong Hall in front. Those who are ordered to read the papers are called the inner curtain officials, and those who do not read the papers but are deacons in the examination room are called the outer curtain officials.
The test paper is finally handed over to the Admission Officer by the Admission Officer. After the Admission Officer receives and signs the test paper, the examiner will accept it on the spot, assign each room to stamp a small seal, and then distribute it to each room for examination. At this point, the examination paper of the candidate has officially begun to be reviewed.
.
The co-examiners for the joint examination are basically Beijing officials, most of them come from the Hanlin Academy, the Ministry of Rites, and the James Mansion. Basically, they are all Jinshi, and there are almost no tribute scholars.
In the third year of Hongzhi's Gengxu Science Examination, 300 tributes were selected. In the end, 55 people were selected from the south, 35 people were selected from the north, and 10 people were selected from the middle. 165 people were selected from the south and 105 people were selected from the north.
, 30 people from the middle area, the southern volume covers Yingtian Prefecture and Su, Songzhu Prefecture, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian, Huguang, Guangdong and other places; the northern volume covers Shuntian, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places; the middle volume covers Sichuan
, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, etc.
Because Li Jie handed in his papers too early, there was no one there when he arrived at the dragon gate. The gate had to wait for a certain number of people to be admitted before it could be opened. Li Jie had to wait for most of the time before everyone gathered.
One of the young men raised his fists and said, "Brother, are you here to take the exam this time?"
Seeing that Li Jie was so young and handed in the exam so early, this person would naturally not think that he was doing well in the exam. He thought he was here to try and gain experience.
Li Jie smiled and said nothing. At this time, a Fujian scholar next to him said: "This dear friend, please don't talk nonsense. This is the young man Xie Yuan Lin Pingzhi. At that time, Wen Neng described the principles of Cheng and Zhu with the spirit of Han and Europe.
"
The young man looked embarrassed when he heard this. He had obviously heard of Li Jie's name. He smiled coquettishly, then kept silent and waited for the dragon gate to open.
After Li Jie walked out of the Longmen of Gongyuan, Lin Han did not expect that he would hand in his papers so early, so he had to go back by himself. However, there were many cars and horses outside the examination room. Someone immediately came up to ask if he needed cars and horses, and negotiated a price. Li Jie boarded the
Carriage, head towards Lin Han's mansion.
During dinner in the evening, Lin Han was at the housekeeper's place and found out that Li Jie had returned in the morning. He said with a straight face: "Shenzhi, why did you hand in the paper so hastily? Come back and write your answer sheet silently for me to see!"
In the study room, Lin Han carefully looked at the answer sheet written by Li Jiemo. Lin Han's classic was "Spring and Autumn". He didn't study "Shangshu" deeply, so he only asked Li Jiemo to write four questions.
They were all excited, and their fingers trembled slightly with excitement.
"Okay! Shen Zhi, I thought you submitted the paper in advance because you did not do well in the exam, but I didn't expect that you really did not disappoint. You can bring the momentum of ancient prose into contemporary prose, and the structure, meaning, and words are all naturally combined, and you can open and close, stop and stop.
It shows calmness and naturalness, and is endlessly varied in the ordinary. It is really a rare and beautiful article! It can be said to be a great achievement in the art of making!"
Hearing this, Li Jie cupped his hands and said, "My nephew submitted the paper early this time mainly because he had a sudden inspiration in the examination room. After writing it, he realized that there is nothing he can do to change it at his current level."
Lin Han's expression calmed down a little, and he laughed loudly: "Even I have no idea what to do with these three articles. I can't change a word. According to the tradition of the first weightlifting test, with the level of these three articles, you will try this time."
It shouldn’t be difficult to win, but the specific ranking is unknown.”
Li Jie recalled Liang Chu's previous words and said: "The examiner this time is Xu Pu, the Minister of Rites. My senior brother once said that Xu Shangshu is very talented and has a unique style in selecting materials. I wonder what my second uncle thinks?"
Lin Han pondered for a moment and then said: "Xu Shangshu has experienced four dynasties and is highly respected. With his usual style, he is eclectic in selecting materials and will not look at you differently because of your age. There should be no problem in choosing the right one."
After Lin Han finished speaking, he sighed again, "What a pity! If you are a few years older this year, it is not impossible to look forward to your future."
Seeing Lin Han's demeanor, Li Jie said, "My nephew is very satisfied to be on the list this time, and he doesn't dare to ask for anything else."
"Haha! Okay! It's commendable that you have such a mentality. It would be great if Daoyuan and Li Zhan could be as calm as you."
Lin Han first smiled and praised Li Jie, and when he talked about Lin Lan and Lin Tingang, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and then he let out a long sigh.
The next day, Lin Lan and Lin Tingang also handed in the papers and returned home in the afternoon. When they returned home, they were shocked to learn that Li Jie had submitted the papers early. After learning about it, the two hurriedly went to Li Jie's residence.
Seeing the anxious expressions on the two people's faces, Li Jie couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He became even closer to the Lin clan and said, "Uncle Thirteen, Li Zhan, please be patient. I have to hand in the paper in advance this time."
Reason."
Lin Lan interrupted Li Jie impatiently and said: "Shenzhi, no matter what the reason is, you can't act so willfully and hand in the paper hastily. Spring comes only once every three years. Do you know that if you miss it once, you will have to do it again?"
Wait three years, even if you finish writing, the remaining time can be used to revise and polish, so there is no need to rush to submit the paper!"
Li Jie saw this and said quickly: "Uncle Thirteen, please listen to me first."
Lin Lan paused when he heard this, and interrupted Li Jie in a hurry, making him a little embarrassed. Lin Tingang saw Lin Lan's expression and knew what the thirteenth uncle was thinking, and said: "Shenzhi, thirteenth uncle
Uncle is also concerned about chaos, it's not intentional, don't mind it."
Li Jie smiled slightly: "I know, Uncle Thirteen is also doing it for my own good. I still know whether it's good or bad."
