Chapter 1916 Interview ([-])

Naturally, this is absolutely unavoidable, because although the Zeng family is a petty citizen, they still pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of the matchmaker.Now that they are going to pass the public examination, it is the time when the spring breeze is in full swing, and they get married without pulling it away; secondly, Zhang Ting, the cousin who once had a crush on Zhang Yu, flirts with the lady from the tofu shop opposite.

Yuan Shuzhi knew a little bit about Zeng Juan's affair, and when he saw several servants pushing and shoving, he decided to take Zeng Juan under his control.He hurriedly squeezed up and said loudly: "My little brother has already been engaged to him, I appreciate your kindness, please come back!" Then he grabbed Zeng Juan's arm and pulled him back.

Immediately, Zeng Juan was pulled in the middle as if being pulled in a tug-of-war. In the midst of the chaos, the police siren rang, and the policeman who was maintaining order nearby ran over and shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Seeing this, several servants quickly let go of Zeng Juan's hand and slipped away, Zeng Juan was considered to have escaped the catastrophe.The two of them couldn't care less about worrying about each other, and ran all the way home.

Both Zeng Juan and Yuan Shuzhi passed the written test, and the news that Zeng Juan was No. 1 in the written test immediately caused a sensation in the whole neighborhood.Both new neighbors and old neighbors, as well as relatives and friends from all walks of life came to Zeng's house to congratulate, some even brought gifts, and many people came to propose marriage to Zeng Juan.The two elders of the Zeng family were so happy that they couldn't hold their tongues from ear to ear, and hurriedly asked the tea house to prepare snacks and tea to entertain the congratulatory guests from all walks of life.Only the relatives of the former son-in-law Cao Xueguang's family were unhappy: Zeng Juan originally had Li Ziyu as his backer, and now he is an official of the army.

The people were greeted and sent off, and the crowd didn't disperse until they got busy.Zeng and Yuan were looking at the list and dealing with the guests. They had been busy all day, and they were already stumbling around from exhaustion.However, after starting the watch, the two did not rest, but discussed in the study.

It turned out that Yuan Shuzhi and Zeng Juan were a little confused about the Australian imperial examination.In the traditional imperial examination, the imperial examination is followed by the general examination.Although the palace examination is presided over by the emperor himself, it is actually writing an essay.In fact, the emperor didn't read the papers, it was still the examiners who graded the papers and then recommended them by category.The emperor didn't read the article specifically, at best he just looked at the quality of the handwriting.

Yuan Shu knew: "Brother Zeng, the Australian Palace Examination is also the interview. This thing was not available in the false Ming Dynasty or even in all previous dynasties. It is amazing that the Australian interview only needs to be spoken and not written! But this strategy is right. Zuo was often used in the pre-Qin period. Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty wanted to imitate the way of the pre-Qin period when the gentleman and guest paired up to select scholars?! But it seems that this is very different from the duet!"

Zeng Juan said: "What are you worried about, old Yuan? You have also read the syllabus of this exam. The written test score accounts for 6%, and the interview is only 4%. , I’m afraid it’s a sure thing! Let’s quickly read the materials of the Palace Examination, and then discuss how to answer the questions.”

As he said that, Zeng Juan took out the interview teaching material for civil servants of the Senate, which is rare in Guangzhou. It was brought by Zhang Yu from Lingao. This good brother really has nothing to say. At least, even the naturalized people from Lingao may not be able to get it!The textbook says that the full name of the Australian civil servant interview is called a structured interview, which is different from any kind of duet in the past. The explanation in the book is:
According to the competency requirements of a specific position, follow a fixed procedure, use a special question bank, evaluation standards and evaluation methods, and use face-to-face verbal communication between the examiner group and the candidate to evaluate whether the candidate meets the requirements of the recruitment position.

This explanation was nothing to the two of them, so they gave up the process of understanding what is called a structured interview, and went directly to practice the questions. They acted as examiners for each other and practiced according to different modules.This question was asked by Yuan Shuzhi to Zeng Juan: "Brother Zeng, please listen to the question. This question is like this. A deputy director of the tax bureau, yo, isn't this you, the future Brother Zeng?! Haha, I participated A banquet event. During this period, you met your childhood sweetheart that you haven’t seen for many years?! What kind of question did the Senate ask, this girl from any family except prostitutes will not be able to attend the dinner! Doesn’t this imply that the deputy director’s childhood sweetheart is a prostitute?! "

After hearing this, Zeng Juan quickly said to Yuan Shuzhi: "I said, old Yuan, you have been full for a few days and forgot who you are?! You have forgotten that my Song Dynasty emphasizes equality between men and women?! This Liu Dafu's "Abolishing Foot Binding Order" " and "Persuading Remarriage Order" have only been issued. Haven't you seen Ziyu and Agui's female boss Lian Nishang? As for the elder Pei Xiuli of Ziminglou, the elder Zheng Shangjie of Shangshangkou, and other female elders, you have forgotten ?! Don’t forget Secretary Ma’s teaching, “Women can hold up half the sky! Old Yuan, you can bring about a change in your thinking, otherwise you will definitely suffer in the interview!”

Yuan Shuzhi slapped his head and immediately replied: "Brother Zeng is very right, so-and-so is confused, so-and-so must change! Let's move on to the question...

Finally came the day of the interview, and Zeng Juan put on the Australian-style suit that Zhang Yucong brought to him from Lingao. It is said that Chairman Wen of the Senate personally designed it, but it was actually a cadre uniform with two pockets missing.Zeng Juan is young, and he is extraordinarily energetic in this "Australian costume".It's just that the bun on the top of the head is quite obstructive, and it doesn't match the Australian clothes on her body.Looking around in the mirror, he felt that it was better to cut off the bun.However, somehow he couldn't make up his mind.In the end, he switched to a traditional shirt.

Yuan Shuzhi has long been dressed in the standard Confucian style. He wore a blue cloth straight embroidered with a square scarf on his head. Although it looked shabby, it looked clean and neat.

The examination room is still in the Gong Yuan.But this time the defense is simpler, and you can enter with the retest notice.Candidates participating in the re-examination first register in the Mingyuan Building, and then go into groups and draw lots.Yuan Shuzhi and Zeng Juan were divided into different groups. They were both lucky. One was number 5 and the other was number 4. They were in the front but not the first. They could finish in the morning, and the examiner would listen carefully.

The examination room is located in the "Gongtang District" to the north of the "Tiankai Wenyun" archway. It was originally the place where the examiners and related servants worked during the imperial examinations in the Gongyuan.There is plenty of space.Greeted by the examination staff, the candidates sat down in several halls and waited for the number to be called for the examination.

Zeng Juan went in first, and the moment he walked into the gate of the interview and examination room, Zeng Juan felt like his heart was about to jump out.He made up his mind and walked in cautiously.

The place of the interview was originally the resting flower hall behind the official hall. The furniture and furnishings did not change much, but a row of tables and chairs was placed in the middle, and five examiners sat there.Today's chief examiner is Ai Zhixin, the director of the tax bureau, and four of them are senior naturalized cadres.

There is a separate table and chair opposite the table and chair—this is the position of the examinee, and stationery, paper and abacus are prepared on it.

Zeng Juan walked to the interview tables and chairs, bowed, and said loudly, "Hello, examiner!"

A naturalized civilian cadre said: "Hello candidates, congratulations on your entry into the Dasong Guangzhou Special City Civil Service Examination interview. Next, you will answer within 15 minutes. Three questions will be given in the form of a report. There are questions in front of you. Paper and pen, you can make some notes on it, every time you answer a question, you must hear: "Start answering the question" before you can start answering the question, and after answering the question, you must say: "The answer is complete". Otherwise, no points will be scored! Did the examinee understand clearly? ?”

"Listen clearly!" Zeng Juan said loudly again.

"Okay, let's start, please listen to the first question:
Why did you apply for the Civil Service Examination of the Senate of the Great Song Dynasty? What do you think is the spirit of the Civil Service Examination of the Senate of the Great Song Dynasty?Answering begins. "

Hearing this question, Zeng Juan yelled that it was not good. It looked like one question was actually three questions, and it was a series of questions. He didn’t expect his luck to be so bad, but he made up his mind, began to write an outline on paper and answered arrive:

"Dear examiners, candidates began to answer questions. The first reason why I applied for the civil servant examination of the Song Dynasty is that I saw hope, a hope that could not be seen in the pseudo-Ming Dynasty. Good day, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, everyone can support themselves. The Senate changed customs, swept away all kinds of backward rules, systems, and customs in the past, and turned Qiongzhou and Guangzhou into the only stable paradise in Kyushu. As a person, I personally feel First, I want to feel that I can't stay out of it, and I have to contribute to the great cause of the Senate. The second is a practical issue. I am the only child in the family. There are old parents who want to look up to me, and my sister and orphans who want to be raised. I need This well-paid job comes from contributing to one's own family! The spirit of civil servants in the Song Dynasty, I think it is the spirit of fighting bravely for the Senate, the spirit of hard work and hard work, and the spirit of learning for the Song Dynasty The spirit of sacrificing one’s life with the people, and the fighting spirit of being active and aggressive! The difference between the nature of the imperial examinations and the hypocrisy is that the imperial examinations are for the benefit of Zhu’s family, and the civil service examinations of the Song Dynasty are for the world. Shengmin! Report to the examiner that the first question of the exam has been answered!"

After Zeng Juan finished answering the first question, he let out a long sigh of relief. This question was really difficult to answer. Thanks to Zhang Yu's teaching materials, he could at least finish it fluently.

Elder Ai Yuan was very happy to hear this answer, what a roar of political awareness!He even mistakenly thought that this was a naturalized citizen trained by Lingao School. He nodded in satisfaction and continued to ask: "Candidates, please listen to the second question. Please calculate the following numbers, (267+876+890)* 12-678+556=?, you can ask the test administrator for an abacus."

arithmetic!This was not difficult for Zeng Juan. He asked the examiner to come to the abacus, quickly wrote down the questions by memory, and only heard the "crackling" between Zeng Juan and gave the answer: "Dear examiners, the answer is 24274! Candidates have finished answering!"
