In Blue Star, there is a saying that if you can’t beat someone, you will join.
The same is true in Dali. If you can't beat someone, let the other party join our side, such as using a matchmaker to propose a marriage.
After New Year's Day, one after another well-informed families learned about Nan Yi's results in advance. They selected girls of suitable age from the tribe and asked a matchmaker to come to Nan Yi to try to propose marriage.
Moreover, they knew that Nan Yi's future achievements would be limitless. He started out as a county magistrate and became famous. He was by no means an ordinary scholar trapped in a county town. They all had a very low profile. They did not even think about letting Nan Yi marry a wife, but asked Nan Yi to take a concubine.
But Nan Yi hid in the dormitory of the school dormitory and thanked guests behind closed doors.
He resorted to a big move: his parents died, he wanted to be filial but had no intention of getting married.
The changes that occurred in Nanshi Village have been published in the "Nanshan Gazette". But he was definitely not telling the truth, but he was saying that a beast disaster occurred, and a herd of beasts, mainly long-armed monkeys, rioted and massacred Nanshi Village.
Although this kind of thing is rare, it doesn't seem to be uncommon if you look around the world. Therefore, the people of Nanshan County did not take it to heart. Anyway, the so-called countryside is a place outside the country's borders.
But when Nan Yi brought up this matter and rejected all the matchmakers in the name of keeping filial piety, the noble family in Nanshan County, no matter how eloquent he was, could only say nothing.
At most, these people might secretly curse Nan Yi for being too high-spirited.
And Nan Yi really looked down on the so-called big families in the small county town, and did not want to have anything to do with these wealthy families.
All I can say is that this is always the case.
You may like someone who likes you, but the other person may not like you.
For example, a blind date.
For example, when I was studying in Tianxia, I often heard people say, don’t play with poor students.
Whenever Nan Yi heard this, he couldn't help but secretly thought: That Yusheng doesn't want to play with you either. After all, what is the difference between ordinary students in the eyes of eugenics and poor students?
If once upon a time, that is, when Nan Yi had not traveled through time, these big families in Nanshan County had not thought of letting the original Nan Yi marry into the family, or bending down to serve as their family's disciples and staff, they would have proposed marriage normally and talked about matchmaking. Maybe I agreed.
But Nan Yi was very ambitious and did not want to be a step-in-law son-in-law, nor did he want to be a retainer or staff member - in Dali, to be a retainer or staff member, you had to give up your studies and then help the master's family manage shops or make suggestions.
Now, Nan Yi has become Nan Yi, and his spirit is even higher. Even if the idea of these families changed from wanting Nan Yi to marry into his wife, to giving Nan Yi a concubine, Nan Yi would not care.
He hid in his dormitory and wrote about the Spring and Autumn Period without caring about what others thought.
…………
But he said that there were two flowers in bloom, one on each side.
In the last few days of the third year of Tianqi, unlike residents in small counties who like to close their businesses and visit relatives and friends, Nantian City, the capital of Chu County, is extremely lively. There are New Year performances organized by major businesses everywhere, or some The wedding banquet and running water banquet for the young master of a wealthy family.
Mo Rufeng, who used to be an exam invigilator in Nanshan County, met his uncle Mo Yuange at his nephew's wedding banquet.
——The generation of the Mo family is as follows: Zong Yun Shang Yuan Ru, Liang Fu So Bo Chu.
"Uncle, I went to the county town below to invigilate the exam the day before yesterday, and I saw an article about candidates' essays, which was very interesting. I would like to ask you a favor, uncle."
Mo Yuange is one of the examiners for Chu County's annual exam this year. He frowned slightly and said, "Rufeng, you should know that the review process is done anonymously, which is not easy to operate."
"Uncle, you misunderstood. That's not what my nephew meant." Mo Rufeng hurriedly explained, "The main thing is that the poem is a novel. My nephew couldn't finish it in the examination room at that time. He only read half of it. In the past two days, he was very confused. I always think about it. When I saw my uncle today, my nephew wanted to be brave and ask my uncle to help me find this essay. I would finish it early and send it out for scoring, so that my nephew could go and find out the second half of it. .”
"Novel? Is it because its hook is so strong that it makes you never forget it?" Mo Yuange became interested.
"No, it's an examination composition. It's almost a straightforward narrative without any hooks. But the angle is very novel. It uses the story of poor villagers living in the county a hundred years later to depict the social scene at that time." Mo Ru Feng said with emotion, "My nephew mainly thinks that the author's vision of deducing the current situation and criticizing the current ills is very unique, and even worthy of my deep thought. Moreover, my nephew privately thinks that the purpose of this poem is probably in line with the county governor's thoughts." "
Sheriff?
Mo Yuange frowned when he heard this.
It is the general trend to introduce steam technology and innovate all industries. But Chu Kuangsheng, the governor of Chu County, was the biggest conservative.
This is not to say that Chu Kuangsheng was extremely conservative and firmly opposed to innovation. Rather, he felt that although hasty innovation had hundreds of benefits, it also had hundreds of disadvantages and endless consequences; it was better to be gentle and slow, wait and see and summarize the innovation situation in other counties in Dali, and try to ensure that problems were nipped in the bud.
If according to what Mo Rufeng said, the literary poems are in line with the wishes of the county governor, then that means that they can be said to hit the nail on the head when it comes to addressing the current shortcomings?
Mo Yuange nodded thoughtfully: "I know."
The next day, Mo Yuange went to grade his papers.
He said directly: "Colleagues, my nephew has asked me to find a piece of prose. I want to review it as soon as possible and send it to be graded so that he can study the content of the verse carefully. Therefore, I ask all colleagues to do a favor and read it. Look where this article is."
Mo Yuange briefly talked about the beginning of the story of Luo Tuo Xiangzi in Dali.
In Dali, although there are many rules, there is considerable freedom within the rules.
For example, if you want to review a certain test paper in advance, you can just say so as long as it does not violate the rules of anonymous marking and fair scoring. It emphasizes that "everything must be said to others."
However, in order to avoid suspicion, examination papers that a certain marking officer wants to mark in advance will generally not be marked by him.
"The paper is here with me."
A marking officer turned over the Nanyi test paper and began to look at it carefully.
After a while, others noticed that he had become silent after reading the test paper, and asked curiously: "What's the score?"
The marking officer pondered for a moment and then said slowly: "I don't dare to comment."
Um? Don’t dare to comment?
The others were stunned. The grading process is based on the average score after three grading officers have reviewed.
As long as the score is not too outrageous, higher or lower, it doesn't really matter. Even if you give full marks, as long as you have the confidence to give a sufficient reason when asked, no one will say anything.
As a result, you dare not comment?
The marking officer who was reviewing other papers was surprised when he heard this and turned his head to look over.
The marking officer who was the first to review Nanyi's examination papers sighed: "It's too difficult to describe in just one sentence, so why don't I ask you all to review it together and grade it together."
He flipped his right hand and simply used his magic power to hold the exam paper and unfold it in mid-air so that other marking officers could read it together.
All the reviewers, including Mo Yuange, are Huang-level monks. Even though he was far away, his eyesight was enough to see the small print on the examination paper.
Then, there was silence for a while.
One person asked: "Comrades, how should we win this point?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Wenfu is a subject, regardless of format or style.
But when Nan Yi really used the novel genre to answer the paper, the marking officers became embarrassed. They felt that the usual scoring habits did not apply to Nan Yi's test paper.
"How about ninety points?" someone asked tentatively.
"It's not impossible. But this article is in line with the county governor's wishes. When it is submitted to the county governor for review, the reason for deducting points needs to be stated."
Although there is no such thing as political correctness in Dali, the principles are the same.
It was obvious that this article was in line with the wishes of the county governor. Although some of the reviewers present suspected that Nan Yi was scolding their family and were unhappy, they could not express their displeasure directly and express their displeasure.
After all, when listing the reasons for deducting points, they couldn't say it was because Nan Yi mentioned their family's sore feet.
"Then full marks?"
"That's not the case..."
Then all the marking officials stopped talking and looked at Mo Yuange.
Since it was Mo Yuange who made everyone review this hot test paper, then Mo Yuange should take the lead in this regard.
