Chapter 168 Qiu Weijiu
In Gongyuan, all the candidates were sorted out of the gate in order, and the government officials had sealed the candidates' test papers anonymously.
Some of the scholars who came out of Gongyuan were very excited and high-spirited. Judging from their expressions, they knew that they had done well in the exam and could even get good results.
Some candidates gathered in small groups and looked downcast, and they seemed to be unhappy.
"Brother Qin, the content of this year's Jingyi is too complicated, especially the topics in Doctrine of the Mean. It's impossible to write about it."
"Yes, yes, it is said that Governor Qi will be able to serve as the examiner of Jinling this year. This is a place that local officials have never been able to contact. Governor Qi doesn't know how to take care of the students of Jinling. I see that this year's classics and meanings section is very likely. Nine is unsatisfactory."
"Oh, don't mention it. We are still doing well. You didn't see any of your classmates and you ran away the next day. You must have been very discouraged by the imperial examination questions and just gave up on the exam."
Some students who had passed the 360th exam asked curiously: "Brother, you are not joking, are you? The imperial examination is a big event that changes our destiny. Isn't it just that after ten years of hard work, no one will ask, and we will become famous all over the world in one fell swoop?" I know, this classmate is too courageless."
"No, I took a glance at that time and saw with my own eyes that brother walking away in despair behind Mr. Zhao who came from the official department. I don't know how desolate that figure was."
Hu Jun listened to everyone's discussion, mostly about the difficulty of the test questions, and more about the person who gave up on himself. Hu Jun knew that person was his senior brother Liu Mingzhi. Hu Jun's face was gloomy and uncertain. He most admired his senior brother for his knowledge. , but his name is unknown in Jinling, but why did the senior brother give up the meaning of the scripture this time?
Is it true that as the teacher said, senior brother's ambition is not in the court?
Then Hu Jun shook his head, no, senior brother will definitely not give up halfway. Although they have known each other for a short time, Hu Jun is definitely one of the people who understand him relatively well.
Regardless of what others were talking about, Hu Jun hurriedly headed to the inn where he was staying. His mentor was waiting there, and he had to inform his mentor about this matter.
Qi Liang came out of Gongyuan in high spirits at first, and then his expression gradually turned bad like Hu Jun's, because Liu Mingzhi, who handed in his paper the next day, became the biggest joke among everyone.
Although Qi Liang's attitude towards Liu Mingzhi gradually changed after Liu Mingzhi and Qi Yun got married, he still looked down upon this famous playboy brother-in-law in Jinling in the past. This can be seen from Qiu Wei Jingyi's direct abandonment of the exam. This brother-in-law has a weak mind and is very embarrassed. I don't know if my father is getting older, but he still admires him very much.
"Alas, my second sister's dream of seeing her husband become a dragon is about to be shattered."
After all the students came out, the park gate began to be closed, and the guards were on guard.
In a clean and bright room, Qi Runzhao Fengshou, the first examiner, began to gradually divide the test questions.
"The handwriting is crooked and awkward, and I'm embarrassed to read it. The answers are even more irrelevant, so I won't record them."
"The test paper is stained with ink, and I only answered 40% of the questions, so I won't record them."
"The handwriting is neat, the writing style is good, 60% of the questions have been answered, the paper is neat, and the writing style is good. However, the number of questions written is too few, so I will give it a temporary grade of B."
As an official in the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Fengshou was appointed by the imperial court to serve as one of the examiners in Jinling. He had to review nearly 300 test papers. The first section of the classics and meaning section had a huge amount of questions, and he only reviewed 30 papers. He became a little dizzy. It is often said that the people from Jiangnan are very talented, but there are only five people who can get more than 70% of the thirty test papers. It can be said that the reputation of the people from Jiangnan is ruined.
Maybe his expectations were too high, or maybe the test papers Zhao Fengshou received were from students with poor literary talent. The more Zhao Fengshou read the papers, the more he frowned. However, Qi Run and several exam companions looked at the papers with a rather calm expression. Qi Run had to review each test paper carefully. It was the first time for him to preside over the imperial examination. He did not have the familiarity of Zhao Fengshou, an official in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so he did not dare to let go of any place for fear of making mistakes and delaying the progress of the children of Jinling. future.
About two hours later, an examiner's shout broke the peace of the file room: "It's incredible, it's incredible. I got 90% of the answers right, and only made ten mistakes on some of the more remote questions. Moreover, my handwriting was erratic and my ink was weak." , if nothing else happens, this person will definitely be ranked number one on the Yi List, and it is tentatively designated as Top Yi."
The voice of the examiner also attracted the attention of several examiners who gathered around to look at the test paper on the desk. Zhao Fengshou held up the test paper and looked at it again and again and praised: "It is such a rare test paper!"
You must know that the meaning of the scriptures involves the Four Books and Five Classics, which is the most comprehensive test for postgraduate students. Those who can answer 60% of the questions are considered good, those who can answer 70% of the questions are considered talented, and those who can answer 80% of the questions must be famous. There are very few talented people who can answer 90% of the questions. In the classics and meanings part of the imperial examination papers of all dynasties, those who can answer 90% of the questions are basically among the top three in the classics and meanings.
However, the examination of the second examination must not only have the meaning of the scriptures, but also the poems of the second examination and the strategies of the third examination. Only if all examinations are above B, the first place in the Qiu Wei Imperial Examination of the previous state will be considered.
One examiner sighed: "If the rules didn't allow it, I would really like to see the name of this talented person. I don't know which academy taught him this talented person."
"No, you must not open the test paper that has no name before the results are released. This is a rule. There is no rule without rules. As examiners, we should abide by the rules." Qi Run stopped the idea of accompanying the exam. He was not in a hurry anyway. All his disciples under Jinling will know sooner or later.
Zhao Fengshou also nodded: "Put it aside. I hope to see a few more test papers like this in the next test papers."
"Haha... Mr. Zhao is too greedy. The reason why the rare ones are called rare is because there are so few. If all the candidates answered 90% of the test papers correctly, we would be in trouble. Let's not talk about it for now. How to recruit the top three, His Majesty will definitely suspect us of engaging in malpractice for personal gain. Although the children from Jiangnan have a reputation for talent, they are not talented like this."
Zhao Fengshou was not embarrassed when someone teased him, but nodded: "Yes, contentment is always happy. Just a student who answered 90% of the questions correctly is enough to be proud of his colleagues around him. Let's continue marking the test papers."
Not long after, another voice of praise came to mind: "80% of the question."
"Another 80% question."
"Another geek who answers 90% of the questions."
"Congratulations to Mr. Qi. I'm afraid you, Jinling, are going to be famous this time. After reviewing half of the test papers, there are already two weirdos who answered 90% of the questions correctly. It seems that Mr. Qi's reputation will go straight to Tianting. After all, under the rule So many good talents have come out.”
"Several colleagues were very complimentary. This is all the work of Dangyang Academy and Yishan Academy. I only put in a little effort."
"Master Qi, it's almost time, seal the test papers and prepare for the second exam."
Several people took out the keys from their waists at the same time, looked at each other, and began to exit the file room. Nine locks were locked at the same time.
"The gong sounds, the Gongyuan opens and the candidates enter."
