After the examination, the grading work is in full swing. The results will be announced in a few days. Time is tight, and all the examiners have devoted themselves to grading the examination papers, forgetting sleep and food.
"Lock the hospital to prevent missing questions, conduct inspections to prevent entrapment; invigilate exams to prevent peeking, and transcribe names to prevent confusion; curtains inside and outside prevent collusion, and examiners stay away to prevent favoritism."
Under the auspices of Xu Jie, this examination strictly abided by the above examination regulations, and also took other measures. The measures to prevent fraud were so strict that almost all means were exhausted.
However, no matter how sophisticated a firewall is, there are still loopholes.
On the first day of the joint examination, our deputy examiner, Comrade Yan Maoqing, during his routine inspection, finally saw the discerning young comrade recommended by Comrade Yan Shifan in Yange's hometown last time. This young man is not an ordinary person.
His father, Ouyang Bijin, was the brother-in-law of Mr. Yan Ge, who served as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, a wealthy country. I heard that Mr. Yan Ge intended to betroth the second young lady to this young comrade Ouyang.
After Comrade Yan Shifan introduced him, he pointed at Comrade Ouyang and asked Yan Maoqing seemingly casually: "Does he have the spirit to be a champion?"
Our Comrade Yan Maoqing naturally understands this well. If Comrade Ouyang is to be the top scholar, he must pass the examination, and it is also necessary to be the first scholar.
In addition, the reason why Comrade Yan Maoqing, our deputy examiner, was deeply impressed by this little Comrade Ouyang is because Comrade Ouyang is very discerning. At the banquet, he just casually said that it was inconvenient to use the drowning machine at home. As a result, in the evening there was a
A set of pure gold toilet bowls was delivered to the house. There were seven or eight gold and platinum toilet bowls in this set.
Comrade Yan Maoqing, the deputy examiner, spotted Comrade Ouyang. Naturally, Comrade Ouyang also saw Comrade Yan Maoqing. After all, he had been staring at him.
"You examinee, if you don't answer the questions well, what are you looking at?" The junior official who followed Comrade Yan Maoqing on the inspection tour saw Comrade Ouyang staring at the exam and couldn't help but stop him softly.
Comrade Yan Maoqing stretched out his hand slightly to stop the accompanying officials. He waved his hand nonchalantly and said calmly, "Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai." He said it several times in a row, and then led the inspectors to continue.
Go forward.
"Yu Xiuzai" means that's all. Comrade Yan Maoqing said "Yu Xiuzai", which means that he is telling the casual clerk not to care about it. Comrade Yan Maoqing is very considerate among the people accompanying him. Can the candidates just look at it? Not at all.
To embarrass candidates. Reduce big things into small things. Once trivial things are done, stop worrying about them.
Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai
After everyone on the inspection tour left, our young comrade Ouyang was overjoyed. He had just seen the implicit gesture when Comrade Yan Maoqing waved his hand, "Yu Xiuzai, Yu Xiuzai," Yan Maoqing said the awkward "Yu Xiuzai" several times.
, the meaning couldn’t be more obvious.
Therefore, when Comrade Ouyang answered the question, he used the three words "Yu Xiuzai" as a modal particle many times.
From this moment on, a loophole appeared in the sophisticated firewall that Xu Jie had set up.
The grading work is going on in full swing, and the examiners who are responsible for recommending papers are reading the examination papers without sleep or food. The examination paper has black grids and inscriptions, and I am already confused by the five colors; time is tight and there are many papers. In addition, the examiner Xu Jie
The supervision is strict, and the examiners work even harder.
A fellow examiner who had been tortured by grading suddenly had his eyes lit up when he was grading papers. It was not that the test paper was very exciting, but because there were several exclamations of "Yu Xiuzai" on this test paper.
This fellow examiner was secretly happy, but his expression remained calm. After reviewing and selecting the candidate, he recommended it to the two examiners.
When Yan Maoqing saw this test paper with several "Yu Xiuzai" in it, his tense heart finally relaxed. He could finally give an explanation to Yan Ge.
"Haha, Mr. Xu. You have been grading papers for several days, so why not take a short break." Yan Maoqing smiled and greeted Xu Jie who was sitting opposite.
"That's fine."
Hearing this, Xu Jie 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. After reading the papers for so many days, his waist and back ached, and his whole body felt uncomfortable.
"I wonder if Mr. Xu has ever discovered Huiyuan's work?" Yan Maoqing rubbed his arm and asked Xu Jiedao as usual.
"There are a few good writers, but I have never encountered a talent from Huiyuan. Why, has Mr. Yan encountered Huiyuan's work?" Xu Jie asked Yan Maoqing with a smile like a good old man.
One sentence.
What Yan Maoqing was waiting for was Xu Jie's words.
"Master Xu really spoke harshly. I just read a test paper, and it was really eye-catching. I haven't seen such a beautiful article in several years." After hearing Xu Jie's question, Yan Maoqing led him
He stood up with a smile and handed the test paper with several Yu Xiuzai's names that he just read to Xu Jie with both hands.
"Master Xu, please take a look." Yan Maoqing handed the test paper to Xu Jie with both hands.
Xu Jie took the test paper and sat on a chair to read it quietly. The writing style was good and the article was quite in-depth. As he looked at it, Xu Jie discovered the mystery in the test paper. Yu Xiuzai,
There is no need to use Yu Xiuzai in Xiuzai's place. This test paper actually uses several Yu Xiuzai in conspicuous positions.
"This is the first time I have seen such a good article in so many years." When Xu Jie was flipping through the test papers, Yan Maoqing was very fond of this article.
Xu Jie didn't say anything. He patiently read the test paper and counted Yu Xiuzai's. Then he turned his gaze to Yan Maoqing and looked at it for a long time.
"Master Xu, how do you like this test paper?" Yan Maoqing understood the meaning in Xu Jie's eyes, but asked with a smile on his face, "Before entering the Gongyuan, Master Yan also told me to do my job impartially and to help Xu Jie well.
Your Excellency, you will preside over this examination well, and Mr. Xu will take charge of everything."
Yan Maoqing believed that Xu Jie was a smart man and would definitely understand what he meant.
If it had been before, Xu Jie would have dismissed this examination paper without hesitation, and perhaps uncovered a case of imperial examination fraud. However, after experiencing the Xiyuan incident a few days ago, Xu Jie understood that even though he was a minister,
, but my own thighs still can’t twist Yan Song’s little finger. So what if I let you be arrogant for the time being, and what will happen to King Wu Fu Chai?
"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 out a pen, and wrote a big "中" character on it.
"Can it be called Cao Yuan?" Yan Maoqing asked again.
"There's no rush, it's still early, and most of the test papers haven't been reviewed yet, so there's no need to rush." Xu Jie replied tepidly. (To be continued.)
