After Chen Xi and Jin Gui finished the questions, there was basically nothing to do in the next two days. Even when the exam officially started, Chen Xi and Jin Gui only needed to wait in the inner curtain.

It is not until the end of the exam that the transcription officer has copied all the papers and confirmed that there are no mistakes after the comparison is completed. Only then will the copied papers be handed over to the inner curtain and reviewed by the inner curtain officer.

From the completion of the questions to the official start of reviewing the papers, Chen Xi spent about half a month doing nothing, as if he was locked in a cage, and he had to find things to save his loneliness and boredom every day.

"Chen Yude, if the test questions are leaked, you and I won't bear any guilt at that time, right?" Jin Gui seemed worried since he finished the question. Jin Gui's consideration was not as complicated as Chen Xi. When he realized that the test questions were only passed by him and Shen Xi. After the leak, the situation he might face after the leak began to panic. At this time, the only person involved, Chen Xi, could discuss with him was the only person involved.

Chen Xi held the book and looked at it on the ground, laughed and said, "Brother Jin is worried that there will be sales questions?"

"This may not be impossible!"

Jin Gui sighed, "Shuntian Mansion has given me repeatedly in the past two days. Various bribery methods that I could never imagine before have emerged one after another. Now I am still scared when I think about it. I am afraid that other people may not be able to stand the test!"

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head: "Some things are inevitable. We just need to have a clear conscience ourselves. This year is the first provincial examination after the Ministry of Rites' examination. At the foot of the emperor, there is a bright world. I don't expect Shuntian Mansion to make too much noise. After all, the imperial examination involves the foundation of the country."

Chen Xi said this simply to comfort Jin Gui. Even Chen Xi himself was a little worried, but he thought it was easy. Instead of being worried every day, it would be better to face it calmly. Although his current strength could not shake the entire bureaucratic system, he was appointed by the emperor himself after all. If he did too much, he would not look good if anyone had a good face.

That night, the curtain officials in the inner court gathered together to discuss the process of reviewing the provincial trial.

Because many people, including Chen Xi, are participating in the provincial examination for the first time, and they don’t know much about how to promote excellent examination papers, so they need to learn and summarize.

But to put it bluntly, it is not difficult. The examiners of each other select dozens of relatively excellent test papers and hand them over to the two examiners for selection. During the selection process, the examiners will discuss with the examiners of each room. It seems to be to maintain fairness, but in fact it is to shirk responsibility.

Because if the examiner thinks that an article is good and then turns around and finds out that his talent is not in line with the truth, if this is the result of the examiner discussing with the examiner, the examiner's responsibility will be much lighter.

After all, it is the examiner who found excuses for the sake of unpredictable results in order to reduce his responsibilities in this provincial examination and to find reasons for the unpredictable results.

As the chief examiner, Chen Xi lives in the residence of the president in the inner curtain dragon gate. This is a relatively spacious wing room, elegant and quiet, and three additional candles are provided every night. So that it can be burned until midnight, Chen Xi can read at night with a light.

But Chen Xi brought not many books, so he had to write something to pass the boring time.

Since getting married, Chen Xi has become accustomed to returning home to warm the pillow with a high bed and a beautiful wife and concubine. Now he is really unbearable to be an ascetic monk.

Although his wife and children are not far away, they cannot go home. The chief examiner of the provincial examination seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is no different from being in jail.

The first day is often the hardest to have. Chen Xi was still in a depressed mood until midnight, so he simply came out of the room to make a basin of water to wash his face to make his mind clear, but he saw Jin Gui coming out of the room next to him.

"Brother Jin, you can't sleep either?" Chen Xi asked with a smile.

"well!"

Jin Gui sighed, "I didn't realize how warm my home was, but when I arrived at such a closed place, I suddenly felt like I had arrived at the bitter cold kiln. At the beginning, I did not feel the same way I did today. I felt so nervous that I had to come out and have some breathing."

Chen Xi felt the same as Jin Gui, but fortunately his mood was a little broader than Jin Gui, which was related to his life experience. After experiencing the storms, this little pain was nothing. He had experienced even the lonely days, let alone just let him be the chief examiner now.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "When taking the exam, what you are dedicated to is nothing more than success in the imperial examination, which is of course different from the current state of mind."

When taking the exam, I thought about being able to get a top-notch exam. At that time, the huge pressure made people not care about anything else, but now they entered the exam room as a court official without any burden. The results of the provincial examination involve the interests of the candidates and have nothing to do with them, so they will not feel the tense atmosphere before the exam. When they fall asleep at night, they will inevitably miss their wives, children, and children at home.

"Brother Jin, what do you think of the prince's future teaching?"

Chen Xi asked casually, and he wanted to ask Jin Gui's opinion on the prince's academic studies, mainly because Jin Gui was an important minister in the court during the Zhengde period. He served as the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, the Minister of Rites, the Right Minister of Personnel, and the Secretary of Rites. Later, he joined the cabinet to serve as the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, and was known as a wise man.

Jin Gui felt a little self-deprecating: "I have been in the Eastern Palace for many years, how can the prince's academic performance be my turn? Now the prince is naughty, or a young man's mind is in the future. If the prince can control a country, he will be a wise ruler."

Chen Xi thought about it for a while and said that the words were too big. At first, he said that the prince was naughty, so why did he suddenly compliment Zhu Houzhao?

Chen Xi asked in surprise: "I don't understand Brother Jin's intention very well. Can you ask for advice?"

"Haha, Brother Chen didn't realize that the prince was extremely intelligent and responsible?" Jin Gui asked.

Although Zhu Houzhao is only eleven years old and often makes a fuss, he does have many advantages. The biggest advantage is that Zhu Houzhao is flexible in his mind and can come up with many ideas.

But if Chen Xi said he was responsible, he did not fully agree with it. Of course, it cannot be denied that what Zhu Houzhao promised would never be changed, and the secret in his heart could be hidden. He has not betrayed him until now. Instead, he discussed everything with him. The little guy has begun to have a positive shape and is developing in a good direction.

As Zuo Zhongyun, Jin Gui could naturally feel the transformation of the prince.

"Speaking of this, the prince has indeed been making a lot less erratic things recently."

Jin Gui thought, "Maybe it was because he grew older, his mind gradually settled down. This was thanks to Brother Chen and several lecturers from the East Palace, who were in charge of the orderly and inducement."

At this time, Jin Gui actually praised Chen Xi.

The two chatted for a long time, but the topic was just the prince and the provincial examination. After the third round of the morning came from afar, the two went back to their rooms. Chen Xi wrote a lot of things before falling asleep again.

The next morning, Chen Xi woke up and felt a little dizzy.

He thought to himself: "Is it because I am sick when I am not accustomed to the local conditions?"

Unlike the people of this era who are accustomed to sunrise and sunset, Chen Xi, as a modern human, prefers to go to bed at 3 o'clock in the evening at night and get up a little later the next morning.

Chen Xi looked at the books on the table and found that someone had touched him. He suddenly became nervous.

He has good habits. When he goes to a strange place, the things are placed in a regular manner and have certain rules. A small change can make him notice the clues.

The book was turned over, but it was put back in its original position, and the direction of the original book did not change. The things he wrote were picked up and read, but the man accidentally left a little black mark on a piece of paper.

"If you want to get the test questions, you naturally want to see what I wrote and what I read, haha, you have also put your heart into it for the test questions."

Although Chen Xi could not take it seriously, this is enough to show that despite the heavy troops, the Gongyuan was not peaceful.

The provincial examination has not yet begun, and the exam questions are crucial. Those who engage in ill-gotten fraud pay attention to the exam questions. After the exam begins, they will focus on how to keep marks, or hide code words in the text and collude with the copying officers of the outer curtain to cheat. Some of the inner curtain and the examiners may also be bribed.

But the most important thing is to pay attention to your personal safety.

"Mr. Shen, early."

As soon as Chen Xi arrived at the Huijing Hall, a group of examiners gathered around him to salute him, and they all showed great enthusiasm.

Originally, Chen Xi and Jin Gui were both the examiners and had similar status, but because Chen Xi was one of the higher levels, everyone praised him even more.

"Everyone, the provincial examination has not started today, why are you doing so early when you get up?" Chen Xi smiled and said hello.

"We are really worried. We want to get together to summarize and see if the test questions were biased yesterday. We also want to ask Lord Shen and Lord Jin to discuss them together."

The final purpose is to draw up the titles of the three and four books yesterday.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "Is it too early to start discussing the questions before the provincial examination begins? Why not wait until the provincial examination officially starts and then study them carefully with you. How about it?"

Those examiners who had a ghost in their hearts cursed secretly. The first exam in the provincial examination started, which was directly the three and four books and the four sutras of this sutra. Moreover, the candidates had already entered the examination room at that time. Even if they found someone to do the questions, they could not be sent to the examination room. If you discuss it, it would be useless!

But Chen Xi kept silent, just not talking about the topics of the Four Books. Those examiners could not force Chen Xi to say it out, and it would be useless to be anxious.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of the lunar month, someone brought food and bedding to the inner curtain.

The officers and soldiers of the Governor's Office of the Five Army escorted the carriages and delivered the things outside the wooden fence. Under the supervision of the Imperial Army officers and soldiers guarding the tribute hall, they carried the things in large and small boxes.

This time Chen Xi met an old acquaintance, Hong Zhuo.

But when Hong Zhuo saw Chen Xi, he deliberately pretended not to see it. Obviously, after Hong Zhuo knew that Chen Xi had snatched his "Xie Family Girl", he no longer regarded Chen Xi as a friend.

"Mr. Shen slept well yesterday?"

Tang Ying, who was familiar with this, came over to greet Chen Xi with a smile.

Chen Xi smiled, not even opening his mouth, and pointed to his own mouth. The meaning was very obvious. Now is an extraordinary period. Since the topic has been published, there is no verbal communication between the inner curtain officer and the outer curtain officer.

Tang Ying had a formulaic smile on her face, but she still maintained her minimum enthusiasm, which made people send snacks into the inner curtain.

But now, who has the heart to eat these?

Everything Tang Ying did was just a trick, in order to find opportunities to obtain the three questions of the Four Books. In this situation of public view, Tang Ying did not dare to do things too obvious.

After all the things were carried in, the inner curtain door was locked again, Chen Xi and Jin Gui exchanged glances and headed towards the head office.

"Brother Chen, do you think the test questions have been leaked?" After entering the room, Jin Gui closed the door and turned around and his face was full of worry.

Chen Xi said: "Brother Jin, just put your heart back in your stomach. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least until now, the three and four book test questions have not been transmitted to the outside world. Say hello to the guards of the imperial guards and let them guard the printing and engraving rooms. As long as there is nothing wrong there, the test questions before the exam is an absolute secret!"

:The third update is here!

The next chapter is estimated to be two or three o'clock in the morning. Please rest. If the emperor will code it, please get up tomorrow morning and read it! It will be continued.
