Chapter 306： Scoring

Chapter 306 Grading

After the exam, the marking work is underway, and the results of the exam will be released in a few days. The time is tight, and all the examiners have devoted themselves to grading the exam papers without sleep or food.

"Lock the courtyard to prevent missing questions, check to prevent entrainment; invigilate to prevent peeking, scribble the name to prevent joints; separate the inner and outer curtains to prevent collusion, and the examiner to avoid favoritism."

Under the auspices of Xu Jie, this examination strictly abides by the above examination regulations, and also takes other measures to prevent fraud so strictly that it is almost to the point of exhausting all means.

However, no matter how sophisticated a firewall is, there are loopholes.

On the first day of the examination, our deputy chief examiner, Comrade Yan Maoqing, finally saw the sharp-eyed little comrade who was recommended by Comrade Yan Shifan in Yan Ge’s hometown last time during the routine inspection. This young man is not an ordinary person. His father, Ouyang Bijin, is old Yan Ge's brother-in-law, and he is the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, where the wealth is flowing. I heard that Yan Ge old intends to betroth the second lady to this little comrade Ouyang.

After being recommended by Comrade Yan Shifan, he pointed to little Comrade Ouyang and asked Yan Maoqing seemingly casually: Is he a champion.

Our Comrade Yan Maoqing naturally understands that if Comrade Ouyang is to be the number one scholar, he must pass the test, and the award is also a must.

In addition, the reason why Comrade Yan Maoqing, our deputy chief examiner, was deeply impressed by Comrade Ouyang was because Comrade Ouyang was very discerning. A set of pure gold toilet utensils was delivered to the mansion. There were seven or eight gold and platinum toilet utensils in this set.

Comrade Yan Maoqing, the deputy chief examiner, found Comrade Ouyang, and Comrade Ouyang naturally also saw Comrade Yan Maoqing, after all, he had been staring at him.

"You candidate, if you don't answer the questions well, what are you looking for?" The petty official who followed Comrade Yan Maoqing on the inspection tour saw that Comrade Ouyang had been staring at the inspection inspection, and couldn't help but stop softly.

Our Comrade Yan Maoqing reached out his hand slightly to stop the accompanying officials, waved his hand indifferently, and said lightly, "Yu Xiu, Yu Xiu", he said it several times in a row, and then led the inspectors to continue go forward.

Yu Xiuzai, which means nothing more. When Comrade Yan Maoqing said Yu Xiuzai, he was telling the casual officials not to care about it. In the eyes of everyone in the entourage, our Comrade Yan Maoqing is very magnanimous. Candidates just look at it, and they don’t embarrass candidates at all.

Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai.

After the inspectors left, our little Comrade Ouyang was very happy. He just saw the hidden gesture when Comrade Yan Maoqing waved his hand, Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai, Yan Maoqing said the awkward Yu Xiuzai several times in a row , the meaning could not be more obvious.

Therefore, Comrade Ouyang used the three characters "Yu Xiuzai" as a modal particle many times when answering the paper.

Xu Jie set up a sophisticated test firewall, and at this moment, a loophole appeared from within.

The marking work is in full swing, and the examiners who are in charge of recommending papers are reading and reviewing the exam papers without sleep or food. The examination papers were written in Haig Zhushu, which was already fascinating. The time was tight and there were so many volumes. In addition, the chief examiner Xu Jie supervised it strictly, and the examiners worked hard.

A fellow examiner who had been tortured by grading papers suddenly had a bright eye when he was grading the papers. It was not because the test papers were so exciting, but because there were several "Yu Xiuzai" exclamations on the test papers.

The fellow examiner was overjoyed in his heart, without showing any emotion on his face, he reviewed and selected it and recommended it to the two chief examiners.

When Yan Maoqing saw this test paper with several "Yu Xiuzai" in it, she finally let go of her tense heart. I can finally explain myself to Yan Ge.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, it's been a few days since you checked the papers, why don't you take a break for a while." Yan Maoqing greeted Xu Jie who was sitting opposite with a smile.

"Also."

Xu Jie heard the words and put down the test paper in his hand, and stretched his body slightly. After all, he was almost fifty years old, and he couldn't accept his old age.

"I don't know if Master Xu has discovered Huiyuan's work?" Yan Maoqing rubbed his arm and asked Xu Jie as usual.

"There are quite a few well-written ones, but I have never encountered a talented person with Huiyuan. Why, Mr. Yan, have you encountered Huiyuan's work?" Xu Jie asked Yan Maoqing with a smile on his face like a good old man. One sentence.

What Yan Maoqing was waiting for was Xu Jie's words.

"It's really taken seriously by Mr. Xu. I read an exam paper just now, and it made people's eyes shine. I haven't seen such a beautiful article for several years." After hearing Xu Jie's question, Yan Maoqing brought Standing up with a smile, he handed the test paper with several Yu Xiuzai that he read just now to Xu Jie with both hands.

"Master Xu, please read." Yan Maoqing handed the test paper to Xu Jie with both hands.

Xu Jie took the test paper, sat on a chair and quietly flipped through the test paper. The writing was not bad, and the article was in-depth. After reading it, Xu Jie discovered the mystery in this test paper. Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai. There is no need to use it for Xiuzai, but this test paper uses several Yuxiuzai in prominent positions.

"It's been so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a good article." When Xu Jie was flipping through the test papers, Yan Maoqing liked this article very much.

Xu Jie did not speak, but patiently read the test paper, counted the number of Yu Xiuzai, then turned his gaze to Yan Maoqing, and read it for a while.

"Master Xu, how about this test paper?" Yan Maoqing understood the meaning in Xu Jie's eyes, but asked with a smile on his face, "Before entering the Tribute Court, Master Yan also told me to do business impartially and to assist Xu Jie. Your Excellency will preside over this meeting well, and everything will be dominated by Master Xu."

Yan Maoqing believed that Xu Jie was a smart person and would definitely understand what he said.

If it was before, Xu Jie would definitely dismiss this test paper without hesitation, and maybe even uncover a fraud case in the imperial examination. However, after the Xiyuan incident a few days ago, Xu Jie understood that even though he was a minister, his thighs could not even twist Yan Song's little finger. So what if it makes you crazy for the time being, what will happen to Wu Wang Fucha.

"This volume is very good."

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jie's voice came faintly.

After finishing speaking, Xu Jie put the test paper on the table with a normal expression, took a pen, and wrote a big "中" character on it.

"Could it be called Cao Yuan?" Yan Maoqing asked again.

"No rush, it's still early, and most of the test papers have not yet been reviewed, so there is no need to rush." ​​Xu Jie replied tepidly.
