The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 518 Scoring ([-])

Shen Shikang, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, crossed an anticlimactic examination paper in his hand, really not knowing what to say.This word is not very good, it can only be regarded as mediocre. Looking at the content of the question, I thought it was pretty good at the beginning, but as I went to the end, the writing became more chaotic, and it was completely different from the beginning.

After stamping his own seal on the back of the test paper, he put the test papers in one place, and was going to circulate them together after the ones in hand were finished.

He then looked at the next chapter, and his pupils shrank slightly.Shen Shikang glanced at Xia Qingchu, and heard that Xia Shoufu had taken in a close disciple named Min Feng, who also participated in the palace examination.

Those grading examiners have all looked for Min Feng's fonts to observe before. Although the pavilions and pavilions look similar, their writing habits are different, and there will always be subtle differences in the strokes or turning points.Naturally, he was no exception, not only Min Feng, he had also seen Gu Chengyu's, and the one in his hand might belong to Min Feng.

He settled down and prepared to read the examination paper in his hand carefully.After reading the first question first, he felt that the beginning was very well written, and when he looked down, he couldn't help nodding his head when he looked at it. He really had real talents and knowledge to be able to become the No. 2 question in the exam. good.

Originally, if the writing was not good, he would still be a little embarrassed for the circle.Now it seems that the article is so well written, maybe it can be hand-picked as the top three!He gave a circle but no one could say anything. For Xia Shoufu's sake, he thought that the others would definitely give circles as well.

Although he had some issues with Xia Qing, if he couldn't get along with him on this matter, not only would it have no effect, it would also arouse Xia Qing's anger.The second prince is already in a difficult situation, and he can't cause trouble for the second prince.

Yu Zheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was also grading the examination papers. After giving the previous examination paper to Sanjiao, he stamped his own seal and went on to read the next examination paper.

This test paper is neat and tidy, the characters are written in average size, arranged very neatly, and there are very few people who can write the pavilion style so beautifully.Before reading the content of the policy question, he was already somewhat satisfied.After all, good calligraphy and neat test papers can always make people look happy.

When you are in a good mood, you will naturally be able to watch it patiently.There is no problem with the format. He can give a triangle even if he doesn't read the content of this test paper.

Looking at the content of Xiang Ce's question, "Huh?" Yu Zheng just read the beginning and thought it was a good article, and when he read the following, he felt that the answers to these four questions were excellent.Moreover, the content of the policy questions has been pointed to the real point, and the rhetoric is very gorgeous, but not exaggerated.In short, reading these four policy questions is simply a kind of enjoyment.

He couldn't help but nodded sharply, stroked his beard, and smiled.

"What? Master Yu? But did you see a good article? Show me quickly." Shen Shikang, who was sitting beside Yu Zheng, heard Yu Zheng's exclamation, and hurriedly turned his head to read it.

Yu Zheng wanted to say that he would circulate it after he approved it, but suddenly thought of something.

"Not really, it just looks good."

When Shen Shikang heard this, he didn't doubt it. Yu Zheng had some love for calligraphy, and it was not unusual for him to exclaim when he saw good calligraphy.He smiled and did not reply, but continued to look at the test paper in his hand.

What did Yu Zheng think of?Of course it is the master of this test paper!Could this test paper belong to Gu Chengyu?After all, Gu Chengyu is Huiyuan and talented. It is not surprising that he can write such beautiful articles.

He hesitated for a while, unable to make a decision on the examination paper with a pen.This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If triangles or dots were given, then Gu Chengyu would lose one circle, and Min Feng's examination paper must have eight circles, which can compare Gu Chengyu.

The tip of his brush just hit the test paper, no!He withdrew his pen and couldn't give the triangle.

There is no doubt that this test paper can get a circle.He is not the only one who judges the paper. If everyone else gave the circle and he was the only one who gave the triangle, would it be suspicious?
Then he thought of Xia Shoufu. Xia Shoufu definitely didn't want Gu Chengyu to be the first. They all knew who Tong Zhouyi was working for, so would Xia Qing give the circle?Anyway, if there are two missing circles in this test paper, the maximum ranking can only be ranked [-] or [-].

What's more, Li Wei, the minister of Taichang Temple and a scholar of Zhongji Temple, is a member of Xia Shoufu. The other officials have nothing to do with Gu Chengyu, so they may give a circle. In fact, Gu Chengyu's examination papers are actually very recognizable.

He is probably the one who has such a literary talent and outstanding calligraphy.Even if it's not sure, it's more or less the same, so Gu Chengyu's circle may be lower.

After thinking about it again and again, Yu Zheng made up his mind, drew a stroke on the test paper, and then stamped his own seal on the back.

His anomaly has actually attracted the attention of Shen Shikang next to him. Just now Yu Zheng said that the examination paper was only written well, and he didn't care, but why did Yu Zheng seem to have a hard time making a decision afterwards?If the test paper is uncertain, everyone will discuss it and gather everyone's thoughts, so that if something happens, everyone will bear the consequences together.

But he looked at Yu Zheng as if he was hiding this test paper, he was very surprised and didn't know what Yu Zheng was trying to do.

Shen Shikang glanced at the test paper, thinking that when it was his turn, he must observe carefully to see what was going on.

Shen Shikang didn't know that Yu Zheng and Gu Chengyu were having a holiday again, so he still wondered about Huiyuan's test paper!Jiangcai's test paper is already amazing. I wonder if Gu Chengyu's test paper is capable of overpowering Min Feng?
Yu Zheng put Gu Chengyu's test paper aside, and then went on to read the next one, but he was a little uneasy. When he saw the last test paper with two traces of alteration, he gave it a cross without looking at the content carefully.

Li Wei has already taken refuge in Xia Qing, so of course he has carefully studied Min Feng's handwriting.Therefore, as soon as he saw Min Feng's test paper, he recognized it. After reading the test paper roughly, he drew a circle on the test paper.

"Huh? This strategy question is done very well." Suddenly, Shen Shikang shouted while holding a test paper, his expression a little excited.

"Master Shen, please show me quickly." Shang Qianyi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, saw that Shen Shikang admired him so much, he became interested and wanted to see the test paper.

"Master Shang, don't worry, it will be passed on soon."

Originally, some officials wanted to go to see it, but after hearing this, they did not act.There are more than 400 examination papers in total, each of which has to be reviewed, which takes a lot of time.Anyway, it will always be in my hands, so I simply concentrate on reading the paper.

Yu Zheng glanced to the side, and found that it was the paper he was hesitant about earlier, and his expression sank at this moment.

Seeing Shen Shikang draw a circle on it with his own eyes, he turned his head with an ugly face and looked at the paper in his hand.
