"Sister, why are you laughing for no reason?" Zhu Yuting was overjoyed when she saw Zhu Wanting smiling and leaning back, so she couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Sister, your vision is really unique!" Zhu Wanting waved her hand to signal the subordinates at the scene and the two heads of faces to step back, and then said to Zhu Yuting with a smile, "Sister, don't you think that Zhao Gongzi is too handsome, and there is a feminine aura on his body!" ”

"Femininity?" Zhu Yuting was slightly stunned for a moment, then understood, and looked at Zhu Wanting with a surprised face, "You said she was dressed as a woman?" ”

Zhu Yuting had to be surprised, she didn't even see that Zhao Xin was actually her daughter, besides, Zhao Xin was a student of the township examination this time, who would have thought that she would be a woman!

"Hmm!" Zhu Wanting nodded, and said to Zhu Yuting with a smile, "Sister, my sister often dresses up as a man, although Zhao Gongzi disguised it well, but it still attracted the attention of her sister, doesn't my sister think that Zhao Gongzi's skin is unusually fair?" And there is a faint fragrance of incense powder that only women like to use? ”

In fact, Zhu Wanting was also deceived by Zhao Xin at the beginning, after all, she was worried about Li Hongyu at the time, so she didn't pay much attention to Zhao Xin at all.

Later, after knowing that Li Hongyu was fine, Zhu Wanting began to notice Zhao Xin who broke into the palace with Rou'er to save Li Hongyu, and was surprised to feel that Zhao Xin was a bit like a woman, and her insight was naturally more acute for her, who often dressed as a man.

Therefore, Zhu Wanting was obsessed with Zhao Xin, and after careful observation, she finally discovered the secret of Zhao Xin, after all, Zhao Xin is not a man, and it is impossible to cover up her daughter perfectly, for example, she has no Adam's apple, fair skin, and likes to use women's incense powder, etc., as long as Zhu Wanting is attentive, she can see the flaws.

"She's so bold!"

After the initial shock, Zhu Yuting, who came back to her senses, couldn't help but exclaim, she never expected Zhao Xin to dare to come to participate in the township test, in case she was found out that she was dressed as a man, it would be a big problem.

But why did she do that? Do you also want to gain fame? She should know she can't hide it forever? After the ceremony, Zhu Yuting asked Zhu Wanting like a cannonball.

"Probably...... Maybe she wants to keep the head of the Li case. Zhu Wanting couldn't help but look at her when she heard this, and bit her lip and said.

"Yes, yes, it must be so!" Zhu Yuting suddenly realized when she heard this, she knew that Zhao Xin had accompanied Li Hongyu to prison in Xiangyang City and connected Hu Guangsheng to Wuchangwei to support Li Hongyu, so she thought that what Zhu Wanting said was reasonable.

"That conscienceless person of yours doesn't know what virtue he accumulated in his previous life, and he has such good peach blossom luck in this life!" Saying that, Zhu Yuting couldn't help but look at Zhu Wanting, she never expected Li Hongyu to be so popular with women.

Zhao Wanting didn't say anything when she heard this, but smiled a little bitterly, she actually envied Zhao Xin in her heart, and she could always be by Li Hongyu's side.

"County Lord, the list is out of ...... It's out. At this moment, a guard ran to the pavilion out of breath, shouting to Zhu Wanting as he ran, "Case Li's first ...... Hit ......"

"Sister, he was admitted to the lifting of people." That guard was the person sent by Zhu Wanting to find out the list, which made Zhu Wanting couldn't help but look happy and said happily to Zhu Yuting.

Zhu Yuting couldn't help but shake her head when she heard this, she would rather Li Hongyu not be able to pass the exam, so that she could marry Zhu Wanting, once she stepped into the officialdom, it would be difficult to marry Zhu Wanting again, according to the ancestral system set by Emperor Hongwu, the horses and guests of honor were not allowed to step into the official career.

Although the ban in this regard has been loosened now, Zhu Wanting is the county lord after all, in case someone gets in the way, then Li Hongyu should not want to marry her, unless Li Hongyu resigns.

Besides, even if Zhu Wanting asked Emperor Wanli for a holy decree to give marriage, and Li Hongyu's official position could be retained, then Li Hongyu's career would be over, and he would definitely be transferred to those marginalized yamen.

And Li Hongyu has been studying hard for so many years, doesn't he just want to show his skills in his career, and he will definitely be extremely disappointed at that time.

"The first in the Li case is understandable!" Without waiting for Zhu Yuting to answer, the guard said again, it turned out that he had not finished speaking before.

He ...... He understands the yuan! Hearing this, Zhu Wanting couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then hugged Zhu Yuting excitedly, and said excitedly, "I knew that he could be admitted to Xie Yuan, and I knew that he would not let me down!" ”

"I didn't expect this kid to have some skills!" Zhu Yuting was also extremely surprised by this, and couldn't help but say, she knew how difficult Xie Yuan was to take the test, and she never imagined that Li Hongyu could defeat Shen Bocheng and Fang Yun.

"Is the Zhao Gongzi who is with the head of the Li case a lift?" In the excitement, Zhu Wanting remembered something, couldn't help but let go of Zhu Yuting in her arms, and asked with concern the guard who had come to the pavilion and stood there to report the news.

"Back to the county lord, Zhao Gongzi also won and was admitted to Yayuan!" The guard bowed and replied.

"What?" At this moment, Zhu Wanting and Zhu Yuting were stunned at the same time, never expecting that Zhao Xin would be so powerful that he would defeat Shen Bocheng and Fang Yun to win the second only to Xie Yuan.

At the same time, the situation in front of the gate of the Gongyuan was chaotic, and people were talking about it with different expressions, especially in front of the list posted on the notice wall, and the soldiers who were responsible for maintaining order were staggered.

As a result, the Gongyuan had to send additional personnel to maintain order so as not to cause a commotion.

"The head of the Li case of Xiangyang Mansion actually won Xie Yuan, I really didn't expect it!"

"Zhao Shengyuan actually defeated Shen and the plan leader to win the Asian Yuan, it's really incredible!"

"The Five Classics Kui Xiangyang Mansion accounts for three, which is unheard of!"

"Xiangyang Mansion has won eight lifters this time, which is the largest number in these years."

"Will there be any shady scenes in this, how can Shen and the plan be defeated by Li and Zhao Sheng?"

……

People gathered in groups to discuss, and as soon as the results of this list were announced, there was an uproar on the scene, no one expected that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin would defeat Shen Bocheng and Fang Yun to win Xie Yuan and Yayuan, let alone that the Five Classics Kuili Xiangyang Mansion would account for three.

According to the results announced on the list, Li Hongyu is Xie Yuan from high school, Zhao Xin is Yayuan, the third to fifth places are Fang Yun, Shen Bocheng and Yang Renxiao, who are the leaders of this township test, and the sixth place is Hantai from Changsha Prefecture.

The top six in the township test were divided between Xiangyang Mansion, Wuchang Mansion and Changsha Mansion, but from the perspective of the top six belongings, Xiangyang Mansion is undoubtedly the biggest winner, while Wuchang Mansion is the most disappointed, not only Shen Bocheng only took the fourth test, but also the number is the least, only one.

The eight candidates in Xiangyang Prefecture, in order of ranking, are Li Hongyu, Zhao Xin, Yang Renxiao, Wang Kuiju, Lu Kun, Zhao Wenhan, Zhao Wenting and Liu Dongfu.

In other words, the biggest winner of Xiangyang Mansion this time is Zhao Guangfeng's Zhao family, not only Zhao Guangfeng's two sons were promoted together, but also his grandson Li Hongyu is also in high school.

Of course, the most surprising of the eight is Liu Dongfu, who ranked last among the eighty-five lifters admitted by Huguang this time, although his level is limited and the comprehensive score is not very good, but the eight-strand essay he wrote is outstanding, so the examiner Zheng Lin still named him as a lifter after repeated considerations.

This made Liu Dongfu, who came to the Gongyuan to see the list, couldn't help but be overjoyed, first laughed out loud and then cried bitterly, crying and leaving to find Li Hongyu, he never dreamed that he would be lifted, so he had to thank Li Hongyu for his support.

Shen Mansion.

"Brother Shen, there must be an inside story in this township test, and the head of the Li case is just that, but it is incredible that Zhao Xin can win the Asian Yuan."

In the living room, a group of Wuchang Mansion students surrounded Shen Bocheng with a solemn expression and said, who would have thought that Shen Bocheng would be defeated so badly before, not to mention Xie Yuan, he didn't even get Yayuan.

"Don't be impatient, there should be no insider in the strict approval of the township examination papers, and we will know when the examiners announce the examination papers." Although Shen Bocheng was disappointed in his heart, he still kept a cool head, and when he saw that everyone was emotional, he opened his mouth to comfort him.

According to the usual practice, the top six examination papers of the township examination will be made public at the Luming banquet, and you will be able to know whether Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin have real skills.

Moreover, the evaluation of test papers in the Ming Dynasty was very strict and very fair, and under normal circumstances, there was no possibility of cheating, otherwise he would be severely punished, and if it was serious, he would be killed.

First of all, the Ming Dynasty had very high requirements for the personnel who reviewed the township test papers.

The reviewers, one is the examiner, and the other is the same examiner.

Examiners and fellow examiners generally have the qualifications for the imperial examination, and they must be from other provinces, and they must be incumbent instructors in prefectures, prefectures, and counties. These people are very knowledgeable and incumbents, and usually do not dare to engage in favoritism.

Secondly, the prevention measures against cheating are strict, even if there are those who dare to cheat for personal gain, the probability of success of cheating is very small.

According to historical records, there are roughly five procedures for the review of the Ming Dynasty township test papers:

First, after the test taker has finished answering the paper, the test paper will be handed over to the examinee officer, and then the examinee will take it back after the official seals and send it to the sealing office.

The second is that the sealing officer will fold the test paper, seal it, obscure the name, and number it, and hand it over to the transcription office. Since the candidates' test papers have been uniformly transcribed, it is difficult to leave a cheating code.

The third is that the transcriptionist will transcribe the examination papers with a red pen, hand them over to the reading office for proofreading, and hand them over to the palm office for collection after reading.

Fourth, at the beginning of the revision of the papers, the test papers will be submitted to the examiner for review. The same examiner will recommend the test paper to the chief examiner.

Fifth, the examiner will then review the recommended test papers. The whole process is supervised by internal and external invigilators.

Furthermore, the division of labor in the questionnaire is responsible for and mutual supervision.

According to historical records, the specific methods for the evaluation of the examination papers of the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty are: first, after the examination papers are reviewed, they must be signed by the revisers and write down their comments. The second is that a test paper is not reviewed by one person, but by three to four people.

In this way, the actual level of the examinees is not the final word, and the fairness of the marking is ensured.

In addition, the level of the test papers will be compared horizontally.

Since there are few objective answers in the Ming Dynasty township test papers, they must be compared with each other in the process of evaluating the test papers, and then evaluate the advantages and disadvantages. The methods include: comparative evaluation method, word and sentence evaluation method, evidence examination evaluation method, and scripture and meaning evaluation method.

Therefore, although Shen Bocheng encountered the Waterloo of the township test, he did not think that Li Hongyu and Zhao Xin had cheating.
