Be a master through ancient times

"Lord Li, I'm really sorry, I can't control my love, I can't control my love." Master Yang continued to smile apologetically.

The others looked at him strangely, what kind of article is it that makes people feel so hard to control themselves?

Someone put down the paper in his hand and walked over, and took the paper that Mr. Yang praised so much in his hand.After reading it for a long time, he sighed deeply: "Splendid articles, quite like the Tang and Song Dynasties, with meaningful charm, bold and unrestrained, free and easy, and every word is perfect."

When everyone heard such a high evaluation, they couldn't help being curious.They put down the articles in their hands to read this article.

"Everyone, tell me, should I recommend it or not?" Master Yang was a little distressed.The main reason is that this article is completely different from the previous ones. If it is recommended, I am afraid that the examiner will not like it.

"Of course I recommend it. If you don't recommend it, wouldn't it damage your reputation by reposting to this article in the future? What's more, there are still people on it." Master Huang woke up the dreamer with a word, Master Yang's head Some sweat seeped out.Indeed, I only thought about the examiner, but ignored the other parts.

You must know that on the day when the results of the provincial examination are released, the students who fail the test will have the opportunity to question the examiner. Those who can write such articles will naturally not ignore them after failing the test.

"Extremely extreme." He nodded repeatedly, then read the paper again.After reading it, he drew a circle on the front of the scroll with a Chinese ink pen, and wrote the word "recommended" on it.

He should have let go after writing, but after thinking about it, he added a circle on it.This is equivalent to a heavy recommendation. Generally speaking, the deputy chief examiner will read such papers first, and the chances of passing are higher.

After correcting it, he placed the article on the other side, together with the articles highly recommended by others, waiting to be submitted first.

In another room, there were five assistant examiners.Compared with other officials, they seemed much more leisurely, and they were gathering together to drink tea and discuss the Tao.

They were drawn from surrounding provinces, and one of them was known for its rich style of study.In their place, you can see scholars who don't put down their books everywhere.Even old people fishing on the shore and farmers chopping firewood in the mountains will take out a book to read in their spare time.

Not to mention whether they can understand it, but in terms of style of study alone, they are indeed slightly better there.And when there are more scholars, the quality will of course improve.According to the survey results, the chances of the students in their province ranking in the top ten in the general examination held every three years are basically [-]%.

In other words, at least one of the second-class Jinshi in a subject every three years is a student from Shandong Province, and sometimes there is more than one.In their province, the number of champions is also the largest.

As an academic officer of Shandong Province, Mr. Gu has always been very proud.These days, among these colleagues, it is not uncommon to criticize the study atmosphere of Xijiang Mansion for not being good enough.

Although the other colleagues are not from Xijiang Province, they are also a little unhappy because the region they are in has also been belittled a wave invisibly.

"My lords, the first batch of examination papers has arrived, please register your name on it."

While talking, a voice came from outside the curtain.These clerks stood outside the door carrying a box of test papers, waiting for them to receive them.

The two deputy chief examiners signed their names, and then worked together to carry the article in.

This article is divided into upper and lower layers, separated by white paper in the middle, the upper layer is for the best of their grades, and the lower layer is for the general ones.

They first took out the upper-level articles, distributed them, and then started grading the papers.

Mr. Gu from East Ludong Province shook his head while reviewing: "Just such an article, is it worth circled twice? If it is placed in my Shandong Province, I am afraid that the first round will be judged as failure."

But after a while, he dropped several test papers on the ground.

"Brother Gu, please be merciful. After all, we also need to hand in papers according to the quota. If we lose too much, it will be even worse if we meet later. Don't we have to get them back?" Lord Shen couldn't help but said.

Master Gu froze, apparently just thought of this.He said stubbornly: "Even so, I can't let these articles be selected." However, his movements slowed down a lot, and the test papers no longer flew down like snowflakes like just now.

The other adults just laughed and said nothing, it's a pity that the first few papers failed.

There was a Mr. Han, he opened a test paper under his hand, and just glanced at it, his brows frowned: "Why did you recommend such a test paper?"

"What kind?" Sir Shen who was sitting beside him asked.

"Gorgeous rhetoric, wild and reckless. I'm afraid it doesn't suit Mr. Zhang."

"Show me." Master Shen took the test paper, looked at the front first, with a slightly startled expression, and then looked at the back.After reading the three articles, he actually admired this student a little.

In the imperial examination, no matter which one, trying to figure out the examiner's preferences is something everyone must do.As a student of a government, his preferences have been figured out, and the articles he writes are basically the style he likes.

As for Zhang Songnian, the chief examiner of this year's rural examination, there is no reason for people to figure it out.The articles he revised before were basically ancient parallel essays. Although he felt uncomfortable, considering the examiner's preference, he still took a few good ones to submit.

At first glance at the test paper, among the three articles, none of them is parallel prose, but prose from ancient times.This prose is deeply rooted in the essence of the people of the Song Dynasty. The form is scattered but the spirit is not scattered.The allusions used in it are also very concise, and the connotation can be expressed in a few words.

"Brother Han, have you finished reading this?"

Mr. Han shook his head, then Mr. Shen drew a circle on it, wrote a character, and handed the article to him for him to read.

Master Han looked complicated after reading it: "If this kind of article is not taken, the ones taken earlier should be burned. Forget it, even if Mr. Zhang doesn't like it, I will take this one too." Said Forget it, I drew a circle on it and wrote a big Chinese character.

Master Gu, who was sitting opposite him, laughed: "What kind of article is it that makes Brother Shen and Brother Han so hesitant? Why don't you let me read it too."

He casually took the test paper, his eyes widened after reading it for a while, and his first reaction was to pick up the name.It's a pity that there is only a number on it, but no name.

"Brother Gu, how about this test paper?"

"Although the writing style is immature, there are indeed remarkable points. I think this person must have returned to the original place for the rural examination after I studied in Ludong. His writing style is very similar to my Ludong students."

The other adults feel a little contemptuous, mother, they kept belittling before, but now when they meet a good one, they say they studied in Ludong, what about their face?Do you want more?

Master Gu also wrote a character on it, and handed it to the other two adults. After they read it, they also wrote the character on it.

The test paper submitted to the chief examiner has to be reviewed by five deputy chief examiners. Generally speaking, as long as there are three characters in a test paper, it is basically safe.If only one word is taken, although it will be presented, the chance of winning is not particularly high.

There are actually five characters in this test paper. If it weren't for his style of writing that really didn't suit Mr. Zhang, they could almost conclude that this is Xie Yuanlang.

Now, although it may not be Xie Yuanlang, but it is not because the examiner does not like it.

……

"Master Zhang, the first test paper has arrived."

"Move in."

"Yes."

Zhang Songnian was sitting alone, correcting official documents.Although he was appointed as the chief examiner of this year, he cannot let go of the official duties of the Imperial Academy.

He pushed the official document aside, drank a cup of tea, closed his eyes and rested for a while, before taking out the first article.

"Huh, it was actually a double recommendation, and five people took it together?" Zhang Songnian was speechless just looking at the beginning of the paper, how afraid he would not take this test paper...
