Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 264 Envy, Jealousy, Hate

The man nodded and handed the bag back to Du Jinning: "I'll make one when I go back, and I'll use it when I come to the county exam next year."

"Let me take a look." The other person took it, looked at the bag, nodded and praised, "Good thing, I will make one later. I think this thing has played a big role today, right?"

Du Jinning nodded.

Recalling what Du Jinning said just now to achieve a certain degree of fire prevention, the more the man looked at the bag, the more he felt that it was wonderful: "When it comes to the hospital examination and the township examination, it is necessary to light candles. With this thing, the test papers that are not used for the time being can be put away. Put it in the bag, so it won’t be burned by the fire.”

"More than that." Others also added, "When you go to the toilet for the college or township exams, you can hang this bag on your body to prevent accidents when you leave the exam number."

One year in the rural examination, a candidate went to the toilet in the examination room, and the candle on the table somehow ignited the test paper, and the test number ignited.Although the invigilating soldiers were very vigilant and quickly extinguished the fire, the test paper was burned. Of course, the last candidate took the test for nothing, and the candidates near him were all shocked.

That's the township exam, and unless you're admitted to Enke, the exam is held every three years.If you take the exam for nothing, you will have to delay it for three years.How many three years can life have?Maybe you did a good job on the test this time, but you may not be able to do it next time.A person's name may be burned by this fire.

And accidents like this are not uncommon in the examination room.

The seven people were chatting, and after a full quarter of an hour, two more people came out and moved to the back.

Du Jinning frowned when he saw the person walking ahead.This person was none other than Yan Kong who had made her sad when she first entered Class A.

Yan Kong had participated in the county examination last year, but failed.I will refer to it again this year.

Just looking at his blue and white face, as if mourning for an exam concubine, I think he didn't do well in this exam this year.

The tall, thin man was talkative, and seeing Yan Kong in line behind him, he asked him, "Brother, did you hand in the test paper before the test was finished, or did you hand in the test paper after it was soiled by the rain?"

Thinking that he was worried that Yan Kong might misunderstand his intentions, he swiped at the people in front of him and said, "We all handed in test papers that were soiled by the rain."

With this swipe, he didn't include Du Jinning, but Yan Kong followed his gesture and saw Du Jinning.

His dark eyes suddenly lit up.

Although Du Jinning was promoted from Class B to Class A later, since he entered Class A, his grades have always been among the best.Except for calligraphy and poetry, which are slightly worse, his other grades are ranked first, and he is praised by teachers all day long, especially a few old gentlemen, who are almost blowing him up.This made Yan Kong really envy and hate her.

But with Liang Xiankuan watching from the sidelines, Du Jinning became the teacher's darling again, and because of writing scripts, many students in Class A became Du Jinning's fans, Yan Kong was very smart and did not oppose Du Jinning anymore .

Because of Du Jinning's excellent grades, everyone in the academy had high hopes for her to take the county examination this year, and hoped that she would win another county case like Qi Muyuan did last year.

Qi Muyuan was 13 years old when he took the county case last year, and Du Jinning is 12 years old this year.For two years in a row, a student of such a young age won the top case in the county, and the reputation of the academy will definitely be improved to a higher level.At that time, I didn’t know how many parents from other counties would send their children to study here.The selection of students is wide, and the qualifications of the selected students will naturally be better. In this case, the capital of the county case next year or the year after may be included in the Boyue Academy.This is a virtuous circle, which Guan Shanchang and the gentlemen of the academy are naturally happy to see.

For Du Jinning, who had high hopes, if he had to hand in the papers early because the test papers were soiled by the rain, and left the county examination room in despair, he would not even be able to get Sun Shan's ranking, let alone the county's top case. Thinking of this scene, Yan Kong wanted to laugh, and his mood suddenly became bright.

Sure enough, when I was miserable, someone was more miserable than myself, and the healing effect was stronger than anything else.

He suppressed his smile, put on a painful and surprised expression, and said to Du Jinning: "Junior Brother Du, why are you? Why are you here? Could it be..." He pointed at the tall and thin man, and then at Du Jinning, "Could it be that you, like this Taiwanese brother and me, have all the test papers destroyed?"

Without waiting for Du Jinning to speak, he continued: "Ah, what should I do? I'm like this. In the academy, I only got middle and upper grades. It's nothing if I failed the exam. Junior brother, you are the most popular person in the county case. If you know that you have lost your reputation because of the destruction of the test paper, I don't know how heartbroken Guan Shanchang and the others will be."

As he spoke, he sighed, and reached out to pat Du Jinning on the shoulder, but Du Jinning turned around and avoided it.

The thin and tall man thought that Yan Kong was sincerely sorry for Du Jinning, and before Du Jinning could speak, he helped explain very enthusiastically: "No, no, this brother's test paper was not destroyed, it was us." He turned to himself Swipe around with a few other people, and emphasize again, "I'm talking about us. Your junior brother..."

He shook his head in admiration, and said with great admiration: "Just now, the magistrate of the county gave him a test, saying that he would be a scholar, and we are all admiring him. Now I heard you say that he was read It’s no wonder that the county case chief has the highest voice for the academy’s high hopes.”

As he said that, he cupped his hands towards Du Jinning: "I'm going to congratulate Xiongtai here first. If there is no accident, the county's case is probably none other than Xiongtai."

The county magistrate who invigilates and grades the examination papers has to be the leader of the case, so he is also particular about it.It's not that you can get a pass if you do a good job on the test paper, it also depends on your reputation.If an unknown person, who usually does not have outstanding grades in colleges or private schools, and has no literary name, suddenly gets a very good grade in the county examination, then there may be something strange about this grade sex.Although the county magistrate will not prevent such a person from passing the county examination, the chief of the case will definitely not give him.I was afraid of being criticized by others, saying that the examinee bribed me so that I gave him the county record, or there would be an incident of leaking the test paper.

Therefore, their approach is generally to choose one who is relatively prestigious in learning to be the head of the case among the few candidates who have done better in the exam.

This is a mature practice of officials, and it is also a means for them to protect themselves.I would rather be conservative than aggressive.

Boyue Academy is the only academy in Lishui County, and it is also a famous academy that ranks among the top five in the province.This kind of outstanding student in the academy, and he did better in the exam, so it is logical to give him the title of county chief.

That's why the thin and tall man congratulated Du Jinning in advance.
