"Silence! Write down your reasons and have the clerk present them to you. If you do it again, you will be severely punished!"
After hearing Xu Jie's reprimand, the examiner's boiling blood finally calmed down, and his usual calmness and composure took over his body again. Yes, he almost forgot the marking procedure. There is a set of procedures for recommending papers, especially for high-level recommendations.
Really, I almost messed up the exam. It doesn't matter if I get scolded, but if I mess up the exam because of myself, I will be guilty of a great sin.
Stay calm, I must stay calm.
The examiner took a deep breath, adjusted himself to the best state, nodded vigorously, then sat up straight, opened the test paper again, and focused his eyes on it again. Since he wanted to highly recommend this paper, he had to write down the reasons for the recommendation. He couldn't just rely on this eight-part essay, but had to read the entire paper.
After reading the first eight-part essay, I found it amazing. It stood out among many other test papers.
Let’s continue reading the second article. Only when winter comes do we know that pine and cypress are the last to wither. This eight-part essay uses objects to express one’s aspirations and hits the point. It is also a rare good article.
In the third essay, just like the first eight-part essay, this examiner only read the first sentence of the opening sentence, "The holy way is great and has its roots, and scholars must gradually reach it." This sentence hit the nail on the head, like a meteor that brightened the entire starry sky. The examiner's blood, which had just cooled down, almost boiled again. If it weren't for the reprimand from Lord Xu Jie just now, this examiner would have slapped his head and applauded again.
The examiner patiently read the red paper carefully from beginning to end in one breath, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
If I don't highly recommend this volume, I would be letting His Majesty down!
"Our dynasty built two capitals in the north and south to implement the great situation of the world, and the virtues of the saints were passed down to lay the foundation for thousands of years. This is the reality. This article can express it without winning the hearts of the people. To correct the king's heart is the way of Confucius and Mencius, which is particularly insightful. It is a good way to win the hearts of scholars. It can be heard."
The examiner wrote down the reasons for the recommendation in one go, and then carefully handed it to the clerk who had been waiting for a long time. The clerk then passed it to the deputy chief examiner, Yan Maoqing.
This is the process of marking the papers. The co-examiner recommends the papers, and the deputy chief examiner and the chief examiner mark the papers in turn. In fact, the chief examiner and the deputy chief examiner are the ones who really control the fate of the paper. The deputy chief examiner first reads the recommended papers recommended by the co-examiner. If the recommended paper is approved by the deputy chief examiner, the deputy chief examiner will write the word "take" on the red paper with a black brush, and then the chief examiner will continue to mark the paper. If he also approves, he will write the word "pass" on the paper, and then the paper will be passed.
Of course, if the deputy examiner disagrees with the recommendation of the co-examiner, he can reject it and the test paper will be rejected. At this time, the chief examiner has the right to correct it and retake the test paper. However, the chief examiner generally does not exercise this right, after all, it is too embarrassing for the deputy examiner.
The test paper fell into Yan Maoqing's hands. Yan Maoqing opened the highly recommended paper and looked at the comments of the examiner.
It was just a test paper, why did he get so excited? And "I've got such a talented person, so I can tell everyone about it", why did he get so excited? Yan Maoqing was very disdainful of the overreaction of the examiner.
However, when Yan Maoqing opened the red scroll and his eyes fell on the text, he could no longer remain calm.
If this paper was outstanding, it would be fine. At most, I would get a pass. But the problem is that this paper is too outstanding. It is so outstanding that it can compete for the first place! From the beginning of marking the papers to now, there are almost few papers that are more outstanding than this one.
No. If this test paper is passed, what will happen to the eldest son of Lord Yan's brother-in-law
But. If I don't take the middle one, then my selfishness is too obvious, and Xu Jie, this old man, keeps looking at this test paper from time to time, and it's obvious that he's paying close attention to it. Damn it! It's all because of that co-examiner's reaction just now, which made everyone pay attention to this test paper, making it difficult for me to do anything bad!
What is a fellow examiner? What is Xu Jie? It is right to cling to the thigh of Lord Yan!
No, I still can’t get it right!
However, there must be a reason for not taking the middle one, and the reason is not difficult. I am good at finding faults in everything.
You did well in the first test paper, and you should also do well in the other test papers.
So, Yan Maoqing opened the second round of the red paper. The official application documents on this red paper were also very good, and could even be described as experienced. Yan Maoqing did not find the bones for the time being, and then continued to read down and saw the focus of this test paper - Qingci. Qingci is not something that ordinary people can write well. In the past, Yan Maoqing himself also practiced Qingci hard, and also wanted to be like Yan Ge Lao, who was favored by the emperor and rose to prominence. However, it was useless! He himself could not bear to look at the Qingci he wrote, so how could he dare to show it off.
Yan Maoqing was convinced that he could find the flaws in the words on this test paper!
However, things were not as simple as Yan Maoqing thought. When he set his eyes on the Qingci part of the test paper, his face changed instantly.
"The Nine Provinces' Vitality and the Wind and Thunder"
The nine provinces are filled with vitality, and the thousands of horses galloping are truly a delight.
I humbly hope that God will be in high spirits and send down talented people in all kinds of ways.
I hope that the God of Heaven will be in high spirits and send down talents regardless of their background. It would be strange if the emperor didn't like this flattery!
Forget it, it seems that I have to take this test paper. Anyway, the top winner will not be decided until the last two days of marking. By then, I will support the eldest son of Lord Yan's brother-in-law. Yan Maoqing still believes that he can make Xu Jie surrender.
Thinking of this, Yan Maoqing smiled slightly under the gaze of everyone, wrote the word "take" on the red scroll, and then handed it to Xu Jie.
The examiner who had been paying close attention to the writing was delighted when he saw this. He could tell from the strokes that Yan Maoqing had written the character "取", which means "take".
Xu Jie was a good man who was always smiling. When he was reading the test paper, his smile became even bigger. He nodded repeatedly while reading the test paper, and was very satisfied with it. Xu Jie was the chief examiner of this examination, and many of the test questions were set by him. Not to mention the literary talent of this test paper, the writing ideas almost hit the intention when he set the questions, which is even more valuable.
In addition, the Qingci is unique and stands out from the crowd!
Admittedly, what my fellow examiner said, “I can tell everyone that I have found such a talented person,” was a bit outrageous, but I couldn’t be more satisfied!
Xu Jie was much more efficient in reviewing the test papers than Yan Maoqing. He wrote the word "中" right after reading it, and put this red-lettered test paper together with the test paper that Yan Maoqing had just supported and the other two test papers.
These separate examination papers are all candidates who are eligible to compete for the top prize in this examination. (To be continued)
