The hard work left the hall all night long, and the lights and red characters were blurred.
The candidates were relieved after finishing the exam, but the examiners were busy at this time, reviewing the exam papers at night, and their eyes were dazzled.
In the Nanzhili Township Examination, the examiners were all Hanlin, with two examiners: the chief examiner and the deputy examiner. The examiners are Zhang Tao and Wang Da, bachelors of the Hanlin Academy. Both Hanlin bachelors are from other provinces. Zhang Tao is slightly older, but Wang Da is also fifty. In addition to the two chief and deputy examiners, there are nine co-examiners in Nanzhili, which is about three more than the co-examiners in other provinces. These nine co-examiners are county magistrates recommended by the censor. As well as literature instructors, recommendation officers and instructors are all from other provinces.
The test papers of Zhu Pingan and other candidates are in the hands of these two examiners and nine co-examiners.
During the marking process, there is a clear division of labor between the chief examiner and the co-examiner. How to put it, the co-examiner selects outstanding test papers from more than 10,000 candidates and recommends them to the chief examiner, who then finalizes the admitted students and determines the ranking of the admitted students among the recommended test papers.
The examiner's review began after Zhu Ping'an and the others finished their first exam. Candidates' test papers are written with ink pens and are called "ink papers". After handing in the paper, the number will be sealed immediately, copied by the copywriter into the "Red Paper" with a red pen, proofread correctly, and then sent to the same examiner for reading. The selected test papers will be reviewed by the co-examiner and then recommended to the examiner, which is called "recommended paper".
The chief and deputy examiners review the papers recommended by the house officer, focusing on the first exam. After reading, combined with the situation of the second and third games, we read and discuss with each other to determine the middle amount. Therefore, if the candidates answer the seven-part and eight-part essays well, they will be more than half successful. Perhaps this is the so-called first impression.
A test paper that is "clicked" by the same examiner is called a "failed paper". There is no chance of losing the paper. As a rule, the examiner will select among the failed papers to see if there are any suitable papers before making up for them. This is called "searching". Of course, generally speaking, examiners tend to save trouble and only read the papers recommended by fellow examiners without asking any questions.
Anyway, it's snowing heavily outside, and the marking site is in full swing; it's dark outside, and the marking site is lit with torches and brightly lit; the examiners are working overtime to mark the test papers.
The candidates who were enjoying the snow and drinking outside and enjoying their post-exam time had no idea how their examination papers were being treated.
Zhu Ping'an was also admiring the snow at the restaurant at this time. This was the backyard of a restaurant, and the lights all night long would not violate the curfew. The heavy snow falling under the bright lights also had a unique flavor. The fat man was chattering beside him, waving his fat paws, foaming at the mouth, as if he would be sorry for Confucius and Mencius if he was not admitted.
"Brother Zhu, you don't know how well I answered this time..."
The fat man Xue Chi was chewing mutton, dancing and excited.
"Yeah." Zhu Ping'an hummed noncommittally, looking at the thick snow outside under the light, calmly.
"Don't believe it, this time I got into the field that I'm good at. It's hard to pass the test." The fat man picked up a chicken drumstick and took a bite, his face full of confidence.
This actually makes Zhu Pingan a little curious. What are the areas that Fatty is good at?
Seeing Zhu Ping'an's curious gaze, the fat man's expression was filled with pride. He wiped his mouth with his fat hand and started blowing, "It's strange for you to say, why does the provincial examination also test the relationship between children?"
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but think of the words "I'm not thinking about it", and looked at the fat man with some constipation, didn't he think of this guy as his sister and I was thinking about it?
"Sister, I'm thinking about it, hahaha, you said this question is the same. I don't remember this sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics, but these are not important. The important thing is that I am good at this. I think I read all over Fengyang back then. size......"
Sure enough, the next second the fat man was as confident as a shining little sun, and his face was so excited that it was as red as fire.
There should be a soundtrack at this time, fire, I am fire...
Hearing this, Zhu Ping'an looked at the fat man with a constipated face, speechless, how did this guy pass the county examination...
Just when Zhu Pingan was looking at the fat man with constipation, Zhu Pingan didn't know that at this time, it was time for his test paper to be reviewed by the marking officer.
It has to be said that Zhu Pingan was really unlucky. His test paper fell into the hands of fellow examiner Song Shiming. Song Shiming was a Confucian instructor in Zunhua County, Jizhou, Shuntian Prefecture. He was not as "Shiming" as his name suggests, and he was relatively conservative.
At this time, our Song Tongkao had already worked overtime and was overloaded with grading papers. I have to say that Song Tongkao was quite hard. While wiping sweat with a towel, he took out a review from a pile of test papers.
That's right, the test paper in Song Tongkao's hand at this time was Zhu Pingan's test paper.
Zhu Ping'an's fate is now in Song Tongkao's hands. Song Tongkao can decide to recommend the test paper to the examiner to "recommend the paper", or he can decide to click the test paper away and "drop it."
A sudden north wind roared outside, picking up snowflakes all over the ground and hitting the window without any warning.
bang
Song Tongkao, who was close to the window, was caught off guard by the cold air that came in from the window crack. He was so hot that he was sweating just now, but now his hands and feet were cold again!
Hot and cold, our Song Tongkao is not in a generally bad mood.
However, when Song Tongkao quickly calmed down and looked at the test paper in his hand with the mentality of being responsible for the candidates.
Then, the bad mood he had just put away suddenly changed...
Worse!
"Let me go, what the hell is written here!"
Song Tongkao looked at the test paper in his hand, as if he saw the goddess he had chased for eighteen years taking off her clothes, revealing a penis that was even stronger than his own...
Ever since, our fellow student Song muttered something disgusting as if he had swallowed Rexiang, and casually threw the test paper in his hand, which was Zhu Pingan's test paper, to the ground!
Lost!
No
The treatment is even worse than the treatment for those who have failed. At the very least, their failed papers are still piled up on a few desks in the corner. Maybe there are free fellow examinees or the examiner who has time to dig through the pile, and maybe they can turn over. There was no chance... However, Zhu Pingan's test paper was thrown to the ground. There was no chance of being flipped over. There was no chance at all. It was worse than failing! The fighter jet is trapped, the VIP is trapped!
After throwing Zhu Ping'an's test paper to the ground, our Song Tongkao picked up the terrible mood and continued to devote himself to the cause of selecting talents for the country. He took another test paper, meticulous, concentrated, and devoted ten thousand times. Reviewed...
Life is like this. When you meet the wrong person at the right time, you can only leave a sigh and sadness... This is life.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an, who was looking at the fat man with a constipated look on his face, didn't know that his test paper was thrown to the ground after being looked at with a look on his face...
but
Still nothing
Fate turned a corner at this time. Just when Zhu Pingan was about to become a failed student, the goddess of fate winked at Zhu Pingan and smiled playfully.
Just when Zhu Ping'an's test paper was thrown to the ground by our Song Tongkao and fluttering down, the door was pushed open.
That's right, it's such a coincidence, even the script couldn't be more clever.
Our examiner just opened the door and walked in. He just happened to see this scene, and our classmate Zhu Pingan's test paper just happened to fall at the examiner's feet.
So, our examiner bent down and picked up Zhu Pingan's test paper from the ground, and held it in his hand. He was shocked at the first glance, and then looked at it carefully for a long, long time. .....Then he walked up to our fellow student Song, pressed Zhu Ping'an's test paper on the table, and expressed his conclusion:
"It should be Jieyuan" (To be continued.)
