Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 309 No.1

The first and second rounds of the government examination are the same as the county examination. It is stipulated that no candles will be lit, that is, papers will be handed in after dark, and no candles will be distributed.When Du Jinning and Huang Chengming stayed in Qi Mansion, the first round of the mansion test ended smoothly.

Back at the mansion, Zhou Dongping ate and bathed.At this moment, his master and disciples began to screen the test papers. Dirty papers, taboo papers, etc. were discarded one by one first, and then the remaining papers were preliminarily reviewed.After the preliminary review, the excellent papers selected by them were delivered to Zhou Dongping's case.As for the remaining test papers, two masters will review them to avoid missing them.

These masters and disciples all had great reputations, and they were invited to be masters or disciples only because they failed in the Jinshi examinations repeatedly, possessed a certain amount of talent, and their character was recognized by Zhou Dongping.They are all people who have discussed knowledge with Zhou Dongping all the year round, and they are familiar with each other and close to each other in terms of character, knowledge and hobbies.And because they and himself are both prosperous and prosperous, and both have the same interests, and will not do anything that harms Zhou Dongping's interests, so Zhou Dongping is very relieved of them doing the preliminary examination of the government examination papers.

After tidying up the housework, Zhou Dongping sat down and started grading papers.

Due to the large amount of examination papers and tight time, these people have practiced a set of efficient examination papers since they were county magistrates and organized a county examination every year. That is to read the first question first. If the writing of the first question is smooth and smooth, Only when the written articles are of a certain standard can we move on to the second question.If the first question was written so that he couldn't catch his eyes, then this test paper would be discarded directly.No matter how extravagantly you write the second question, there is no chance of getting it right.

But for the [-] to [-] test papers, even if the master and the disciples had a preliminary review, for the sake of fairness and justice, [-]% of the test papers were still sent to Zhou Dongping's desk.Zhou Dongping was also serious and diligent, and he graded the papers very carefully. He couldn't hold on until the sound of the drum at midnight. Fang was persuaded by Li Tong to sleep for a while, and continued to grade the papers after getting up at dawn.

After three days of nervously marking the papers, Zhou Dongping finally picked out the A and B test papers.

The number of people admitted in the county examination is [-] from small counties and [-] from large counties. Appropriate adjustments can be made according to the number of people who take the exam that year, but the fluctuation is not large.There is no fixed quota for the number of people admitted in the government examination, which is basically twice the number of people admitted in the hospital examination.If fifty scholars are to be admitted in the college examination, then one hundred will be admitted in the government examination.These one hundred people are divided into first class and second class.The top ten are grade A.

"Dong Weng, how is the ranking of the first class recorded?" Li Tong asked Zhou Dongping.

Ever since Du Jinning handed in the paper and left the exam, Zhou Dongping's strange mood seemed to have ended at that time, and there was no abnormality after that.And on Du Jinning's test paper, he also wrote a big "中".

It's just that Li Yiyi was also checking the papers with Zhou Dongping these days. He looked around and found that among the thousands of test papers, none of them was as good as Du Jinning.Not only can't compare with him, there is no one on the same level as him.In his opinion, the No.1 must be Du Jinning.

It’s just that Zhou Dongping seems to have a negative attitude towards this matter. He has made some comments on some test papers these days, and used them to compare with the articles of some people such as Fang Shaohua and Liang Xiankuan, but he has never mentioned Du Jinning’s article.

This made Li Tong's heart lift up.

As the examiner, the most taboo thing is to judge unfairly.It would be fine if Du Jinning's essays were similar to those of other candidates, but now he is obviously much higher than others, if he is not taken as the first, I am afraid that troubles will arise.

Li Yitong asked this question at this time, because if Zhou Dongping didn't take Du Jinning as the number one, he would have to persuade him.After all, as a master, he has the obligation to advise his master not to make mistakes.

Zhou Dongping didn't raise his head, as if he was talking about something trivial: "Of course it's Du Jinning. Apart from him, do you have any other candidates?"

"..."

Li Tong felt that the punch he had been brewing for a long time melted into the air before he could strike it, which made him very depressed.

"Dong Weng, aren't you..." Li Tong felt that if he didn't ask clearly, he would have to be depressed to do something good or bad.But as soon as the words came out, he felt that he didn't know how to ask.

"What is it?" Zhou Dongping raised his head and looked at Li Tong with a funny expression on his face, "Do you think I won't take him as the number one because you think I don't like him very much?"

Li Yi nodded: "Exactly."

Zhou Dongping showed a look of melancholy: "There is a past incident that made me dislike his teacher. But it was 20 years ago, and I can't judge unfairly because of personal grievances. I want to do that He just looked down on him, and it also proved that the person's choice was right. My principles of dealing with things do not allow me to do that. Of course, if there is a test paper that is better than him or comparable to him , I'd be happy to put him second. Too bad not."

With that said, he lowered his head and continued to do his own thing.

Although Li Yitong couldn't understand the meaning of what Zhou Dongping said, but Zhou Dongping didn't intend to elaborate, and he didn't ask.He only needs to know that Zhou Dongping did not impose an unfair judgment on the government because of personal grievances, and that is enough.

He didn't follow the wrong person.

"Then I'll copy out the list and let the yamen servants post the list." He said.

"Okay." Zhou Dongping said, "The rankings are in the order of the test papers, from top to bottom.

Li walked over together, and saw Du Jinning's test paper, which was placed on the top.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, he copied out the list in the order of the test papers, and watched the posting of the list in person.

Du Jinning was leisurely reading in the small courtyard behind the bookstore when he saw Lu Xiaobei rushing in from the outside, shouting loudly: "Master, Master, you have won No.1. Master, No.1."

In the past two days, it was estimated that the rankings would be released, Lu Xiaobei and Wang Fulai took turns guarding in front of the school gate, fearing that they would miss the time for publishing the rankings.Du Jinning persuaded them not to go, saying that they would know about it when the list was released, and it was the same if they knew it earlier or later, and the ranking would not change.The two of them didn't listen.

Kung fu pays off, as soon as Lu Xiaobei saw an officer come out with a red list today, he immediately rushed to it, and finally saw that his young master's name was the first in the middle.

Du Jinning was very surprised to hear that he was No.1.

She asked, "Did you see it clearly? Is it really the first?"

"Is there anything wrong with this? I've also asked others to verify that it is indeed number one, that's right." Lu Xiaobei said.

The government examination is the same as the county examination, and there is no name on it, only the seat number.The group list means that all seat numbers are written in a circle, and the outer circle is written after the inner circle is written.People who don't understand the format of this list can easily get it wrong.

Du Jinningyou couldn't believe it. She stood up and walked outside: "Let me take a look."

　Thank you for your understanding and support, everyone
