Chapter 215 Found it

"I found it!" Du Shenghui couldn't help cheering when he saw the paper.

This volume must be Huang Wei.

Yes, this is something to be happy about.First of all, after taking this paper, I finally finished the matter and had an explanation to Huang Wei.Secondly, after finding Huang Wei and letting him pass the level, the rest is easy.You can learn from Feng Zhizhou, and only read the beginning of the first article in each paper.If it’s good, recommend it, if it’s not, throw it aside.No need to read papers one by one word by word and so hard.

"This Huang Wei is really lucky. It's a coincidence that his paper just fell into the hands of this official. It's God's will!"

Du Shenghui hurriedly read the paper for a while, and then picked up a pen to write a recommendation.It is nothing more than "the magic of ancient prose lies in the writing and folding of the pen. If the pen is folded with emotion, the writing will accumulate momentum. Try it in these writings."

This is already an extremely high evaluation. According to the rules of the township examination, when recommending papers with the examiner, you must write the reason for the recommendation, and you must be able to convince people.

After thinking about it, Du Zhixian felt that something was wrong, and Huang Wei's paper was so-so, so it would be dissatisfying to praise him so much.

Just add another sentence: "Writing is different from elegance and vulgarity with its charm, you don't need to be startled, but the words and sentences are so unconventional."

I specifically point out that the reason why this paper is recommended is not because it is novel, but because the writing has charm.

Shen Yun is illusory and difficult to quantify.My honey, the other's arsenic, no one can blame the other.

Finally, when one thing was done, Du Shenghui felt relaxed, and only read the beginning of the papers in hand, throwing aside the unsuitable ones.In this way, the speed of reviewing papers has also increased. In one day, I only read two hundred volumes, which is relatively easy.Two papers were selected from it.

As for whether Gao Wen's papers were being thrown aside, he didn't care!

Such a day, the spirit is also nourished enough.Being an examiner for the first time, and finding Huang Wei's paper, Du Shenghui was excited, but he couldn't sleep.In the evening, I simply turned on the lights to fight at night, preparing to pick out all the recommended papers, so that I can rest for a day tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow, the five scriptures for the second session will be delivered.

If you read the volume carefully, you will find something wrong.

Gradually, Du Shenghui's brows furrowed, and a layer of hot sweat broke out from his vest.

It turned out that when he checked the papers tonight, he found that six more papers were wrong.

Just like what he thought Huang Wei's papers were, these six papers are also full of interrogative sentences, with the word "hu" at the end.

I was terrified: This, this, this, why are there joints left, which one is Huang Wei's paper?That's right, the staff must be greedy for money and gave this joint as a favor.

These idiots verbally say that they only recommended Huang Wei to win the exam, but they sell their joints in private, but they tell me that I can't tell the difference between male and female. Isn't this harmful?

Du Zhixian trembled with anger, forced himself to calm down, and looked at the dead papers carefully, but they were all ordinary stuff that was extremely boring.

If such a paper is taken, it will be a joke, and the scholars are still making trouble.

You bastards, make trouble for me!
Thinking of this, Du Zhixian was furious, and threw all the papers with the joints of "hu" into the wastebasket, and sat there alone for a long time.

When he calmed down, Du Shenghui thought again: so many papers with joints, no one knows who belonged to them before they were unsealed, maybe Huang Wei is among them?I got money from other people, and Huang Zhubo is a big family in Hancheng.If you don't take him, I will be embarrassed when I see him in the future, and how can I be an official in the Yamen in the future.

"Come on, let's go, let's take people's money, but this hand is shorter, I should recommend all their papers?"

There was nothing he could do, Du Zhixian had no choice but to pick up the six papers and put them on the desk, and wrote the recommendation after deliberation.

The quality of those few papers was really not good. After all, Du Shenghui was a Jinshi who had read the sage books for many years. After writing this praise, he felt red in the face and sweaty on his body. He was really ashamed.

As a result, he already had seven recommendation papers on hand.

This time, Shaanxi Qiuwei will take [-] people, and there are [-] examiners in total.According to the rules, one hundred test papers should be recommended for review.In the end, another fifty copies had to be eliminated.The rest are the Chinese-style exams of Jinke Guibang.That is to say, each room should get a certain number of recommendation papers according to the number of candidates in the test booth at hand.

Du Shenghui had to recommend eight people for this provincial examination, and after deducting these five papers, there was still one place left.

It is too much to recommend seven bad papers in one go, so I have to pick a good paper to support my appearance.Otherwise, if there is no talent in my room, wouldn't it make people laugh to death?

Thinking of this, Du Shenghui lifted his spirits and read the paper more carefully.

Looking at it, I really found this good paper.

I saw that the first article in that paper used strange words at the beginning of the sentence, and there were more than ten words to break the title.Looking at the test post poems on the test paper, they are also neat and steady, with many good sentences.

The three articles written by this man are as beautiful as a flower, which is obviously older than stereotyped writing.The key is the word "odd", which is even more eye-catching.

Yes, the questions given by Master Li in this provincial examination are too simple and old-fashioned, and almost everyone can do them.In this way, if you want to break through the siege among thousands of scholars, you have to write something new, otherwise you will be overwhelmed by the massive test papers.

Du Zhixian has been bored reading the papers for the past few days, and suddenly reading this wonderful and refreshing article is like eating a cup of iced sour plum soup on a hot day, refreshing from the inside out.

I couldn't help laughing: "I found it. This is a good article that can be ranked in the top ten. With this volume, it is my luck, Du Shenghui, to accept this student!"

Just as he was about to write a recommendation, Du Shenghui put the pen down: "I'm not busy, a single article "Is it a joy to have friends coming from afar" doesn't explain anything, and I don't know how the other two compositions are written?"

His teacher is Wang Zhi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials. It can be said that he is from a famous family and has a bright future.On weekdays, he thinks highly of himself.This year's rural examination, the seven papers I selected were all very ordinary, and they didn't show any skills.With this paper, maybe he can win a good ranking among the two great masters, and recruit suitable talents for his own master.

In the rural examination room, generally speaking, the examiners who review papers only read the first and third articles, and if they feel good, they will read the second question.In fact, in many cases, the first question can catch the examiner's eyes, and most of them can be hit.The second and third questions are mostly used to verify the ranking.

Thinking of this, Du Shenghui went to look at the third question "Wu Wu", but it was also very well done.

Joyful in my heart, I went to look at the second question again, and it was still a novel opening, with a powerful momentum, really crested head, leopard tail, and pork loin.

Now, Du Shenghui couldn't help but applauded: "That's right, all three questions are well written, and I am a man who can read. The top three papers of this subject can be regarded as falling into my hands! With this paper, others have nothing to say." .”

Yes, there have been many exams, and the scholars have gained experience after entering the exam room, and they can figure out what the examiner is thinking.The first question was done very carefully, the third question was fine, but when it came to the second question, I was out of breath and lacked energy, and many people's standards plummeted.

The three rare questions in this paper all maintain a very high standard, the most rare.

Moreover, Shaanxi's culture and education are backward, and there are not many people who can write such good articles.From Du Zhixian's point of view, no matter what, this person has to be selected, no matter what, he has to be in the top ten, or even the top three.

It was the first time for Du Shenghui to be a co-examiner, and to send out the top three papers was something to be proud of. He couldn't help dancing, and couldn't help but run to the next door to find other room teachers to come over to read the papers and comment on them. one two.

But at this moment, suddenly, a strange thought arose from the bottom of my heart: "Could this be Gao Wen's paper?"

For a moment, the face full of sarcasm and hatred when Gao Wen and himself met for the last time floated before his eyes.

Du Shenghui could hardly bear to pull the Mi Feng on the paper, but when he stretched out his hand, he smiled wryly.It turned out that there was only the examinee's examination number on the scroll, and there was no seal or name.

After the admission, the great master will ask someone to fetch the original scroll, that is, the ink scroll, tear off the seal, check it, and write the list.

Before that, no one knew the name of the person who wrote the paper.

In other words, Du Zhixian is not sure who the author of this paper is.

Maybe Gao Wen, maybe not.

If not, of course everyone is happy, and I have a bright face.

But if it is, the joke will be a big one.

This guy Gao Wen was just a lowly yamen servant before, but because he was a descendant of Fang Xiaoru's case, he was rehabilitated by the court, so he took the imperial examination.At the beginning, when Du Zhi County wanted to torture Gao Wen, this guy already hated him to the bone.

If I recommend him wholeheartedly, he may even win the top three rankings.Gao Wen would definitely not accept this favor, nor would he recognize him as a room teacher.In this way, where will Du Shenghui's face be put?

Sitting on the chair, Du Zhixian recalled Gao Wen's previous composition, and he was sure in his heart: "It seems that it is him."

Since Gao Wen moved his household registration to Pingliang Mansion, his performance in the examination room can be called eye-catching.He won the first place in the county examination, and although he was not the first in the government examination, he passed it easily;It can be said that in the past ten years, Pingliang Mansion is the most capable talent in the exam.

On weekdays, in the official circles, when Gao Wen was mentioned, the relevant officials of Pingliang Mansion, especially Xuezheng, would praise him and be proud.He even joked in private: "With such a talented person, Hancheng County in Xi'an Prefecture made things so difficult that they moved their household registration to Pingliang to take the exam. Haha, it's just a matter of sending me a political achievement. If Gao Wen wins again A Juren, if we get another Jinshi in the future, we will make a lot of money!"

As they were talking, the conversation turned to Du Shenghui, saying that Du Zhixian was narrow-minded and could not tolerate others.

"No, don't let him pass!"

"However, this paper is really well done, but it's really unreasonable. Besides, this is the only paper I have in hand!"

For a moment, Du Shenghui was at war with heaven and man in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.

"What if this paper is Gao Wen's, and if he really wins the exam, it is sent out by the official... You bastard, since you can change back to the good status, you can take the exam in Hancheng and Xi'an Prefecture Is it not possible, but you want to run to Pingliang Mansion? This is clearly against this official, and this official will not even give you this just in case!"

Suddenly, anger burst out, and Du Shenghui threw the paper into the wastebasket with a "huh".
