Do you know that it starts with Meng Tong?

The same examiner also has the favor of recommending the candidates. After the candidates reach high school, they should also treat them as teachers and students and respect them as room teachers.

For these fellow examiners, this is an extremely valuable network.

Therefore, the fellow examiners naturally hope that the examiner can accept more exam papers that they recommend.

Especially if one of the top five Wu Jing masters in the examination can be admitted to his own Jing room, it will not only bring glory to the fellow examiners, but also benefit a lot in the future.

Ding Siquan had been an official for many years, so he was well aware of the thoughts of these fellow examiners. However, with these dozens of recommendation papers in front of him, Ding Siquan could not help but curse in his heart.

He is simply not a son of man!

Almost every one of the eighteen fellow examiners recommends a "Jinggui". There is no way they can get enough places among the Five Classical Leaders!

After scolding, Ding Siquan couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had already made up his mind to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and only Wei Chen would take care of everything. The troublesome matters of selecting the recommended papers and finalizing the candidates should be left to Wei Chen, the chief examiner. .

Therefore, the recommendation papers sent by each room only stayed on Ding Siquan's case for one day, and Ding Siquan only turned over them symbolically.

One day later, Ding Siquan impatiently sent someone to bring all the papers, which were still almost intact, outside Wei Chen's house.

The door opened and when he stepped into the room, the first thing that caught Ding Siquan's eyes were the two piles of examination papers in front of Wei Chen's desk.

There were two piles of examination papers, one on the left and one on the right. They were clearly differentiated, but they were piled up like a hill. Ding Siquan couldn't help but feel a little nervous just looking at them.

The pile is so high, how many exam papers are there? Did Wei Chen collect thousands of exam papers here?

It seems that what Wei Chen said before, that he should practice it personally and review every examination paper personally, even the rejected papers that have been rejected by the same examiner, is definitely not a lie!

Ding Siquan walked up to the case, bowed and said, "Mr. President, this is the recommendation letter sent by each room."

After hearing this, Wei Chen, who had been burying the first batch of red scrolls,

Only then did he notice Ding Siquan's arrival, so he quickly put down his pen and stood up to greet him.

"I didn't know that when Brother Lu Shan came here, Mr. Wei was not able to welcome him from afar. I hope Brother Lu Shan is not surprised."

"How dare you dare."

Seeing the bloodshot eyes in Wei Chen's eyes, Ding Siquan immediately understood that Wei Chen must have been burning ointment and setting the sundial these past few days to pass the exam, and he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all, so he quickly returned the favor to Wei Chen.

Ding Siquan knew that Wei Chen was busy with official duties and had no time to entertain him, so he only gave Wei Chen a brief report on the examination papers. After a few words, he resigned wisely and no longer disturbed Wei Chen to continue reviewing papers.

After leaving the house, Ding Siquan was still frightened and a little emotional when he recalled the mountains of test papers he had just seen in front of Wei Chen's case.

"This Wei Xingyun really does what he says. Looking at him like this, he must have not had a sound sleep for several days. After all, he is young and strong. If it were me, I would have collapsed in front of the case from exhaustion. , let’s talk about marking papers.”

When he thought of this, Ding Siquan couldn't help but admire Wei Chen from the bottom of his heart.

Although he admired him, Ding Siquan was still a little worried.

There are only a few days until the results are released. With so many test papers, plus the ones he just sent over, in just a few days, can Wei Chen really read them all by himself?

In fact, Ding Siquan's worries are not unreasonable.

In the first session of the general examination alone, each candidate had to submit seven articles. The total number of more than 3000 candidates totaled more than 2 articles.

What's more, there are still the second and third games later, so the workload of grading is huge, as you can imagine.

Even though Wei Chen could read ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory when grading papers, and his grading efficiency was far beyond ordinary people, he still felt stressed when facing so many papers.

Therefore, when the fellow examiners had not selected the recommended papers and the deputy examiner Ding Siquan was still drinking tea and taking a nap, Wei Chen had already ordered people to send the papers from each room and took the time to review them day and night.

That's why Wei Chen couldn't hide the look of exhaustion on his face when he saw Ding Siquan.

Huang Tian pays off, and Wei Chen is so diligent, and the effect is naturally very significant.

Before Ding Siquan came, he had already seen most of the fallen scrolls in each room.

Now, he only needs to read the last batch of papers within three days, plus the recommended papers sent by Ding Siquan. The pressure Wei Chen faces is much less than before.

The day before the results were released, the [-] Chinese-style examination papers were finally decided. Wei Chen and Ding Siquan summoned eighteen fellow examiners to agree on the seats in the court hall, and then filled out the list by name.

As usual, before the seats are finally decided, the examiners will argue over the red papers in their respective sutra rooms, and even have fierce quarrels.

But this time it didn't.

Because the examiner Wei Chen has personally read every article in the Zhujuan, he knows the pros and cons of this article very well.

Coupled with Wei Chen's vision as a contemporary Wen Zong, he naturally hit the nail on the head when he judged the article, making it impossible for the examiners to refute.

In this way, after only half a day, the seats for the [-] Chinese examination papers for the Jinke Examination were decided, and then the names were filled out.

Seeing this, Ding Siquan, who had always been worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I thought it would be delayed for a while, but it turned out to be so smooth."

After more than an hour of name-checking and filling in the results, the three hundred candidates of Jinke Chinese Style finally revealed their true colors in Lushan.

Some well-known talents are unknown on the list, while some unknown candidates make it to high school in one fell swoop, and even rank among the top candidates.

Seeing this scene, some of the examiners looked surprised, while others looked like they had expected it.

But even though their expressions were different, they were all convinced of the final result, and no one stood up to question whether Wei Chen's selection was fair.

Ding Siquan led a group of fellow examiners, bowed to Wei Chen, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, you have devoted your whole life to recruiting scholars for the country, and you are fair and strict. We admire you very much!"

"You are so complimentary. Wei is just doing his duty." Wei Chen smiled and raised his hand, gesturing for everyone to get up.

Seeing Wei Chen acting like a minister who was calm and gentle when facing everyone, Ding Siquan suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or envy. After the turmoil, it finally turned into a long sigh.

"After passing Jinke, this son's foundation in the court has been established, and no one can easily shake it..."

Chapter 338

Do you know that Chapter 338 of the text volume begins with Meng Tong? Paying a visit to the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, February 29, the day when the results of the Enke Examination were released.

The gate of Dazhou Gongyuan was already packed with people, and countless people were eagerly waiting for this moment that would determine the fate of the three thousand princes.

After waiting for a long time, until the sun set, and finally when it was time to sing, a majestic and solemn voice was heard, and the noise outside the Gongyuan suddenly fell silent.

"In the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are three candidates for the examination, Jinjiang Tang Yuncheng!"

Before anyone could react, a group of people waiting outside the Gongyuan gate came out on horseback.

I saw this team of reporters taking the red damask as their flag, Jin Shu standing up and raising it, riding fast horses on the streets of Bianjing City, beating gongs and drums all the way, and shouting hard:

"Good news for Mr. Tang Yuncheng of Jinjiang, Fujian Province. There are three candidates in the first year of the high school security examination, and they are the top saints in the Jinluan Hall!"

The reporter and his party were galloping through the streets. On both sides of the streets, countless people came to the streets to watch the excitement.

Hearing the good news from the reporter, the people watching clapped their hands and cheered: "I won, I won, it's a man named Tang, a good young man from Fujian!"

Everyone looked in the direction where the reporter was going. Not long after, they saw a bunch of fireworks shooting straight into the sky, and then there was a loud sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums.

"That must be where the Xinke Gongsheng named Tang stayed."

When everyone saw this, they felt envious again.

Outside the Gongyuan, the singing continues.

Unknowingly, it has already fallen into the night, but the night sky of Bianjing City is illuminated by the brilliant fireworks rising in the sky. There are horseshoes in the streets, gongs and drums in various inns, firecrackers blasting, and the sound of celebration is endless. Compared with The Lantern Festival will be even more lively.

The sky is full of fiery trees and silver flowers, and I will have so much fun tonight that I won’t be able to go back to sleep.Tonight in Bianjing City is destined to be a sleepless night.

On Minglun Tower, the commanding height of the Gongyuan, Wei Chen, who stayed with Sheng Changbai to deal with the finishing work, looked at the lively scene of lights and colors in the city, people cheering and horses cawing, and couldn't help but smile with relief.

"It's finally over. Nothing went wrong..."

Sheng Changbai stood behind Wei Chen, with a look of relief on his face.

This nearly month-long career as an examiner will be of endless benefit to his future career, but the process is also really difficult, and even Sheng Changbai can't bear it.

Sheng Changbai now wished he could spread his wings and fly home, take a hot bath and have a good sleep.

Wei Chen couldn't help but laugh when he noticed Sheng Changbai's eagerness to return behind him.

"Okay, Zhecheng, you should go home and rest quickly. My sister-in-law is already waiting impatiently at home. If she doesn't let you go back, she will blame me as an unkind boss!"

Being poked at by Wei Chen, Sheng Changbai blushed and was about to retaliate, but Wei Chen seemed to be running away and ran downstairs.

Sheng Changbai was dumbfounded and had to follow quickly, looking at Wei Chen's back angrily as he walked.

"You're a high-sounding guy, aren't you the same?"

After the examination, the examiners all got a few days off. Wei Chen and his wives wanted to spend some time with Ru Lan and Ming Lan.

However, things didn't go as planned. The day after the examination results were released, an endless stream of people came to visit the Wei family.

He almost broke through the threshold of the Wei family.

But Wei Chen couldn't avoid seeing these people, because they were all new high school students, and they came here to meet Wei Chen, his teacher, in accordance with the rules.

The so-called seat master refers to the two examiners, the chief examiner and the deputy examiner. The chief examiner is the chief examiner, and the deputy examiner is the small seat master. The examiner who takes this exam is called the room master.

As we all know, in the officialdom, the teacher-student relationship is particularly important, and any big shot in the court who has reached a certain position will rarely accept disciples at will, for fear of giving rise to a bad reputation of forming a clique for personal gain.

For example, Wei Chen has extremely strict requirements for accepting disciples, so that today he only has a few disciples such as Chen Shao.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, it is very difficult for ordinary scholars to establish a teacher-student relationship with senior officials in the DPRK.

But the teacher-student relationship established through the joint examination is different, because this path is open and aboveboard, and is recognized by both the government and the public, and no one can find fault with it.

Therefore, for new Gong students, the house master can be put aside for the time being, but going to the two masters' homes to pay homage and officially determine the status of teacher and student is a top priority that cannot be delayed for a moment after the Chinese ceremony.

Wei Chen himself came here like this back then, so he could naturally understand the anxious mood of these new Ke Gong students at this moment, so he could only look apologetically at Rulan and Minglan who were clinging to him.

Rulan and Minglan were both sensible people, so how could they not distinguish the importance? They immediately urged Wei Chen to get up and go to the front hall to entertain the guests.

The two girls themselves were busy recruiting the maids and women, and repeatedly told them to prepare tea, snacks and other things, so as not to neglect the guests and lose Wei Chen's face.

After that, Rulan and Minglan personally helped Wei Chen wash and dress him.

With a wife like this, what can a husband ask for?

Looking at Rulan and Minglan working on him, Wei Chen felt that he was surrounded by happiness, and he felt extremely happy.

Dressed neatly, Wei Chen reluctantly said goodbye to his two lovely wives, then rolled up his sleeves, walked through the courtyard, and walked into the front hall of the Wei house.

After sitting down at the head of the hall, Wei Chen signaled the butler Yuan An on the side to lead the Xinke Gongsheng who was waiting outside.

Yuan An respectfully accepted the order and immediately called out: "Xin Ke Hui Yuan, Zhang Jiucheng of Taiyuan, with a ceremonial clear handkerchief in four directions and a book, come to the hall to see you!"

Among the new Gong students, the first one to come in was Jinke Huiyuan, Zhang Jiucheng.Wei Chen couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw this person for the first time.

I saw that this person was about thirty years old, with a dark complexion and a short stature. He could be described as unattractive in appearance. He looked less like a high-spirited Xinke Huiyuan, and more like a capable old official who was used to being a poor official in the yamen.

After Zhang Jiuzheng came in, a servant from the Wei Mansion brought a cup of tea on a tray.

Zhang Jiuzheng picked up the tea cup and served tea to Wei Chen respectfully, performing the courtesy of teacher and student.
