A few scholars were talking on Lin Yanchao's side, and there was Zhou Zongcheng inside. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But seeing that Zhou Zongcheng was not without pride, he talked with a few people on the side and said: "A few of us grew up in the yamen since we were children, and we have seen all the holy decrees, public judgments, and edicts, and what we see every day, and this second test is simply extremely simple." ”

As he spoke, several people laughed triumphantly.

Several people said: "I'll rely on you later, Brother Zhou." ”

"First of all, I wish Brother Zhou to receive the township book, and the Beijing newspaper will be on the yellow armor!"

Lin Yanchao stood there, and Zhou Zongcheng was proud, he didn't even look at it.

On the other side, Liu Tinglan and a few people also came to the front of the Dragon Gate, and he and a few fellow villagers and friends pointed at Zhou Zongcheng and said disdainfully: "Brother Yang, you said that these scholars from the provincial city are also jumping off the beam here, is it ridiculous?" ”

Yang Daobin smiled and said: "My future Xie Yuanlang, you can let them go for now." ”

Another scholar, Huang Kezhang, said: "Half a bucket of water jingles, why should we pay attention to these people." ”

He Qiaoyuan also said: "No wonder the teacher said that the style of Fujian Middle School has been declining in recent years, and sure enough. ”

Liu Tinglan smiled and said: "After the list is released, look at these people again, this time the Five Classics, our scholars in Zhangquan Erfu have made it, go, the dragon gate is open." ”

At that moment, several people laughed loudly and left, and all the scholars walked out of the dragon gate with great ambition.

After the second exam, the township test papers of the first session have been transcribed, and after reading to the reading officer, they have been handed over to the chief examiner Wang Shizhen.

Although there are Fujian governors and political envoys in the outer curtain, they are not allowed to go to the inner curtain one step, otherwise the two imperial histories who are in charge of the internal and external supervision can be impeached.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen, the chief examiner of the township examination, is the figure who decides in one word among the inner curtain officials.

In the Hall of Hengjian behind the court. Wang Shizhen looked at the examiner and said: "Today, when you wait for the papers, I don't dare to forget the hard work of being in a low house back then. Not to mention the official, the Ministry of Rites can't pass this hurdle. ”

The same examiner and the marking officer all said yes together, and then each took the test paper back to the room.

The second or third papers are just a formality, and the first seven articles are the most important, and after the examiners and the graders took the papers back, they were not easy.

Cheng Mingwu, the official of the first room of the Shangshu Sutra, is the instructor of Xinghua County.

The red roll of the first trial of Lin Yanchao Township is now in his hand.

Originally, according to the identity of the county school instructor. Cheng Mingwu is not enough to serve as a reading officer, but there are not many scholars in this province who govern the scriptures, and even fewer who dare to speak about the scriptures, so he was transferred to be the reading officer of the study room when he was about to take the exam.

Since the roll was sent to the main room, he has been watching it very slowly, and he does not dare to make the slightest mistake.

As a miscellaneous official who does not enter the stream, if something goes wrong, it is easy to be trained to death by a few bigwigs.

Right now, he saw Lin Yanchao's Zhu Juan. After pondering for a long time, I didn't dare to make up my mind. At that moment, he took his red scroll and asked Sun Jiaoyu of Pucheng County, who was sitting on the side, "Brother Sun, please tell you something." ”

Sect Sun's head didn't turn around: "Wait until I finish this article first." ”

Cheng Mingwu didn't dare to disturb, waiting for that, Sun Jiaoyu is in his fifties this year, with a white beard and white hair. He was an old man in Jiajing, and he became a noble scholar when he had no hope of trying. In the last township examination, he served as a marking officer, which can be regarded as an old seniority.

After half a ring, Sect Sun shook his head and said, "The front of this article is acceptable, but there is a clerical error in the fifth article. Eight-year-old Mengtong is not wrong. The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the anthill, and all seven articles were destroyed! ”

As he spoke, Sun Jiaoyu threw the article into the falling volume.

Cheng Mingwu took Lin Yanchao's article at this time, and asked Sun Jiaoyu: "Brother Sun, I can't make up my mind about this article, can you read it for me?" ”

Sectarian Sun glanced at him and said, "Why have you changed so many volumes, and you still don't have an opinion, and you can't make up your mind?" ”

Cheng Mingwu smiled and said: "Without Brother Sun's guidance, I panicked!" ”

Sectarian Sun shook his head, and immediately took Lin Yanchao's scroll and looked at it.

After reading the first three articles and four books, Sun Jiaoyu smiled and pinched his beard and said: "The law is strict, and it can be Cheng Wenyi." ”

Cheng Mingwu said happily: "Brother Sun can also think that this article is desirable? ”

Sun Jiaoyu clenched his fists and coughed lightly in his mouth: "I'm not busy, I'll discuss it after reading the Five Classics." ”

Sun Jiaoyu continued to look at it, his lips were tightly closed, and he opened wide suddenly, and he couldn't close his mouth when he saw the back.

Cheng Mingwu hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun Jiaoyu and asked, "Brother Sun, Brother Sun, are you ...... You didn't have a stroke! Wait, I'll call the doctor!" ”

Sun Jiaoyu said abruptly: "What a stroke." ”

Cheng Mingwu said inexplicably: "Brother Sun is okay?" ”

Sun Jiaoyu regained his composure, and said lightly: "Of course it's okay, the old man has been ruling the book for more than 30 years, and his vision will not be wrong, you can write a high recommendation and show it to the house official." ”

Cheng Mingwu said with a smile: "Yes, I also think the article is good, but I am afraid that I will not dare to put pen to paper, and when I am beaten back by the house official, my face will not look good." ”

Sun Jiaoyu shook his head and said: "Don't be happy too early, although this kind of article is good in the eyes of our others, the president will not like it." ”

Cheng Mingwu was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Sun Jiao said: "Wang Fengzhou is the banner of the ancients, how to list this Tang and Song Dynasty style as a masterpiece, and return it, I can't say." That's it, that's it, don't mention these, let's show it to the housing officer first. ”

Cheng Mingwu sighed when he heard this, and wrote the word 'high recommendation' on the side of the article, the word high recommendation, not only the Chinese style of the exam, but also the meaning of being among the best.

But this is just the meaning of being a grader, but whether it is his turn to speak or not, but depends on the meaning of the house official and the chief and deputy examiner.

Cheng Mingwu showed the article to the housing officials, and the housing officials in the township examination were generally filled by officials from Jinshi.

The room official always looked at it expressionlessly, Cheng Mingwu was worried, he had not seen a single piece of the paper before that entered the eyes of this room official.

After half a ring, the room official glanced up at Cheng Mingwu and asked, "You recommended this volume?" ”

"Lord Hui, it was recommended by the lower officials."

"Highly recommended?"

"Yes." Cheng Mingwu was a little unconfident in his words.

The house official was silent for a long time and said: "Four books are good, and five scriptures are good." ”

After speaking, the room official drew a circle on the scroll, and wrote on the side, 'The scale is far-reaching and dignified, and it can be listed as the leader'.

Cheng Mingwu was startled when he saw it, this room official's evaluation was even higher than that of himself and Sun Jiaoyu. From the high recommendation directly to the Jingkui, the Jingkui is the top five in the township test.

The room officer said to a scribe, "Send this paper to the deputy chief examiner." ”

Soon Lin Yanchao's papers arrived in the deputy chief examination room, and the deputy chief examiner had to look at the papers in each room, so it was impossible for Lin Yanchao's papers to be read as soon as they arrived.

Lin Yanchao's rolls were in his room for three days. (To be continued.) )
