The strongest boss in the sky

Chapter 9 Marking in progress

Lin Nuo answered the questions very quickly, and it only took a day.

For the remaining two days, apart from meditating and cultivating his inner strength, he just ate and slept, so he looked so unmotivated that some examiners who passed by him could not help shaking their heads secretly when they saw this scene.

At the end of the first exam, when they handed in the papers and left the exam room, all the candidates were exhausted and looked listless. Some even walked shakyly and needed help.

Only Lin Nuo, with a radiant face and a lively vigor, walked out of the tribute courtyard under the eyes of everyone who was either contemptuous or envious. Outside the tribute courtyard, Xue Xiuer and others had been waiting outside for a long time.

Autumn is divided into three sessions, which will be held on August [-]th, [-]th, and [-]th.

Among them, the first exam is the most important. The examiner's selection of candidates basically depends on the answer sheet of the first round. The remaining two exams are almost a formality.

After the three exams, even Lin Nuo, a martial artist, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This kind of large-scale exam that lasted for many days is really unbearable for people with weak health.

At the end of the exam, after a series of strict inspections and sealing, the exam papers for these three rounds were sent to a team of sergeants by the invigilators.

These sergeants took the sealed examination papers and sent them to the back courtyard responsible for marking the papers. Afterwards, the entire courtyard will be isolated and no one will be allowed to enter or exit.

"Everyone, let's get started!"

The chief and deputy examiners sat in the hall, and the eight examiners in the hall began to draw lots to choose the examination papers they wanted to review in an orderly manner. Around the room, there were also cronies from the guarding eunuchs of Nanchang Mansion, sitting quietly by the side, monitoring the situation. The fairness of the second grade.

There are chief and deputy examiners in the hall, and there are supervisory eunuchs around. Unless the examiners don't want their heads, there will be very few cases of favoritism and fraud.

The examiner grades the papers very quickly, just like the examiners who correct the composition of the college entrance examination in later generations, the first thing to look at is the handwriting.

Those with illegible handwriting will basically be discarded aside, and they can't even write well. How can they learn?How to govern the country and the people?
Neat or beautiful handwriting will naturally be favored by the examiners, and then the examiners will review these examination papers for a second time to check whether the articles are smooth, whether they conform to the rhythm, and whether the allusions and topic are appropriate.

Those articles with a lot of typos, illogical writing, and even the title of the article will be put aside directly, and basically they will be sentenced to death.

As for the articles that have passed the screening, the examiner will review again, from the structure of the stereotyped essay, the citation of the scriptures, the candidate’s language expression ability and the thought of the article to judge, select some excellent articles, write comments, and submit them to the chief examiner There.

As time passed, some of the more excellent examination papers were gradually selected by the examiners. After a quick screening, the examiners began to write comments one by one.

"Everyone, among the candidates this time, is there any particularly outstanding talent?"

Seeing that it was getting late, the examiners gradually looked tired, and the chief examiner who was sitting upright in the hall began to ask questions.

"My lord, I have a test paper here. The handwriting is beautiful, the language is rigorous, and the thinking is very deep. I strongly recommend it!"

Seeing that the main examiner spoke, the examiners who were still a little sleepy suddenly became excited. One examiner picked out the paper that he thought was the best and recommended it to the main examiner!

"My lord, I also have a test paper here. Although it is still lacking in the thought of the article, the writing style is sophisticated, the handwriting is thick and powerful, and the allusions are rigorous and even extensive. Some of the allusions are not even dared to be said to be understood by the lower officials. And this Candidates are easy to come by, very relevant!" A middle-aged examiner selected one of the papers and presented it to the chief examiner.

After reading the two papers, the chief examiner and the assistant examiner couldn't help but nodded.

The chief examiner stroked his beard in satisfaction, and said: "This time the provincial examination, my Jiangxi examination room is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. The talents of these two people are more than enough, even if they are high school Jinshi!"

"If there is no accident, No.1 and No.2 will be produced in these two papers. I don't know which one do you think is the first?" the deputy chief examiner asked with a smile.

"Of the two copies, one is stronger in the depth of thought; while the other, although not as good in thought, is farther in the breadth of the scriptures. To tell you the truth, I even suspect that This examinee has read more than the examiner, this old man!"

The chief examiner was silent for a while, and then made a mark on the two papers, and the paper with a deeper thought was selected as No.1.

"I, the examiner, select scholars for the imperial court. We need to select well-educated scholars, but more importantly, we must choose capable ministers who are thoughtful and able to serve the country. Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any opinions on the old man's judgment?"

"What your lord said is very true. We are scholars, we should not just study hard. On the basis of profound knowledge, we must learn and apply it flexibly. Only in this way can we become good officials who are beneficial to the country and the people."

Now that the chief examiner has made up his mind, the other examiners will naturally not argue with him on No.1 and No.2.

Although it is not uncommon for the examiners to argue with each other in the imperial examination, but it is generally rare. After all, each of these examiners is from a Jinshi background, and their own knowledge is not weak. The quality of the article can be seen at a glance. It rarely happens that bad articles are recommended as good works.

The supervising eunuchs on both sides watched this scene blankly from the beginning to the end. They were just bystanders. As long as there was no blatant favoritism and fraud, they never got involved in the affairs between the examiners.

The days of waiting for the results to be released were extremely difficult for most of the candidates, but for Lin Nuo, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

These days, he did not stay in the inn, but left Nanchang City together with Xue Xiuer, and went to practice in the hills more than ten miles outside the city.

The terrain in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is relatively flat. Compared with the continuous mountains in the north, the mountains here are more like larger mounds.

However, Lin Nuo and the others didn't come to see the scenery, and they didn't care whether the surrounding environment was beautiful. There were still more than ten days before the opening of the list, and half a month was enough for him to improve his internal strength by a small amount.

puff!
A black cold light flashed past, and at the very front of the light, there was a bit of purple smoke, like a shooting star from the sky, it disappeared in a flash.

scoff!

The sound of piercing sounded, and I saw Lin Nuo holding a wooden spear with one hand, stabbing casually, and piercing a thick ancient tree in front of him, the movement was as smooth as flowing clouds and flowing water, and the spear was in his hand like an arm. Move, to the extent that the gun arrives!

"That's right, you've almost mastered the stabbing in marksmanship. In the future, when you build a fine steel long spear and combine it with the internal force of nine suns, there are probably not many warriors in the world who can withstand your stabbing power." Already!"

Seeing Lin Nuo's cultivation results, Xue Xiu'er stepped forward, took the wooden spear, and shook it casually.

"Next, you can practice shaking the gun!"
