Chapter 225: The First Examination of the Imperial Examination: The Township Examination
After saying that, the half-old man put down the paper, stroked his beard, closed his eyes slightly, and looked a little intoxicated. At the same time, he was also proud of himself for being able to understand another layer of meaning in the poem.
As for Chu Tian, after hearing such an explanation, Chu Tian burst into tears. This guy is a great wisdom. His ability to bullshit is even better than that of the old man. He can even pull white things into black.
Strong! Strong! So strong!
Chu Tian thought about it and realized that this old man didn't have any real talent at all. Instead, he relied on connections to get into an official position through the back door. He became an official just to extort money.
Chu Tian despised this old man in his heart, but he did not dare to show it on the surface. He had to compliment him: "Your Excellency is so knowledgeable and talented. He can understand such a profound meaning. I really put you to shame!"
Chu Tian's slap of flattery hit the middle-aged man in the middle, making the middle-aged man's face burst into laughter. The old man took a breath, picked up the brush, and was about to write, but stopped again.
The old man shook his head, with a somewhat painful look on his face, and said, "You are Lei Feng! Your literary talent really makes me appreciate it. I will give you a perfect score of ten, but..."
Seeing that the old man was hesitant to speak, Chu Tian felt a little anxious and asked hurriedly: "It's nothing, sir, please make it clear!"
The old man sighed again, pretending to be sad, and said in a sad tone: "However, there are many candidates for this imperial examination, and there are many talented and beautiful people. The number of places to advance to the examination is limited to one state capital."
There are only fifty, so if you want to advance with a perfect score of ten, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult!"
Hearing this, Chu Tian was startled, and he didn't understand. Since they all got perfect scores, even if others also got perfect scores, they would still be tied for first place at most. How could they not advance to the final exam?
Chu Tian thought about it, glanced at the brush, and suddenly realized something. He couldn't help but think, could it be this?
Chu Tian hurriedly said: "Sir, the key to promotion is related to the brush?"
This time it was the old man's turn to be startled, but he was relieved immediately. He raised a thumbs up at Chu Tian and said: "You are really smart and sharp. Yes, I have said before that the writing brush can be used
For extra points, if your answer to the question is already full, and you use a brush to write and make people feel happy after reading it, then you can add one more point to make it eleven points."
Seeing the confusion on Chu Tian's face, the old man quickly explained: "Don't be surprised, a perfect score of ten is just the absolute highest score, and eleven is the relative highest score. Therefore, if you want to be promoted to the finalists, you must get
to the relative highest score”
Chu Tian pondered for a moment, nodded, and understood the meaning of the old man's words. I have to say that even though the old man is a backdoor person, the concept of relative absolute highest score is still a bit technical. Even
Chu Tian had to admire him
"Then can you help Xiaosheng write for you?" Chu Tian thought about it for a while, but finally said it.
The old man immediately put on an upright attitude and warned Chu Tian righteously that I am an upright person and will never cheat.
As soon as the old man's words came to his lips and before he could say them out, he immediately took them back because Chu Tian had already taken out 20 taels of gold from his bag and placed them on the table.
"Sir, although we are just meeting for the first time, Xiaosheng feels that he is particularly close to you. The adults feel like Xiaosheng's elders, educating and caring for Xiaosheng. Here are some of Xiaosheng's thoughts. I hope you will accept them.
Come on, buy some supplements to replenish your body, you can do whatever you want!"
Chu Tian's words were so sincere that they moved the old man so much that he wished he had to accept Chu Tian's money, so he ghostwritten it for Chu Tian.
But looking at the 20 taels of gold lying quietly on the table, the old man had never received so many bribes. He struggled in his heart and finally took it into his pocket.
The old man pretended to be nonchalant and said: "My dear nephew, seeing you acting like this, I will make an exception! Don't let others know about this!"
"That's right!" Chu Tian hurriedly nodded and said, but he despised it in his heart. Making an exception? I guess I'll give you a few coppers and you can just make an exception.
The half-old man picked up the brush, dipped it on the inkstone, picked up a piece of white paper, and copied down all the questions and answers. Then he picked up the cinnabar and wrote Chutian's name and the score.
After doing all this, the old man said to Chu Tian: "Okay, nephew, you can go back and wait for the announcement of tomorrow's test."
Chutian nodded, walked out of the small curtain, and asked the next candidate to continue the exam.
After leaving the palace, Chutian sent a message to Huluwa. Huluwa had finished the exam long ago and had been waiting for Chutian outside the palace. After seeing Chutian's message, Huluwa immediately asked about the results of the exam. Chutian
I didn’t want to waste the information fee and make money for the system, so I made an appointment to have a detailed discussion at a restaurant in the city. However, it seemed that the cost of a meal was always more expensive than the information fee. I really didn’t know what Chu Tian was carrying in his head.
After arriving at the restaurant and sitting down, Chutian ordered some side dishes and drinks. Before the drinks and dishes were served, Hu Luwa couldn't wait to ask Chutian how many points he scored in the exam.
Chutian didn't tell Huluwa that he got 11 points, which was the absolute highest score. He just said that he got 10 points, which immediately scared Huluwa's asshole.
"How is it possible? Our cultures are similar. Why can you get full marks, but I get 0 points?" Huluwa said sadly.
Chu Tian smiled sheepishly and thought to himself, is my strength beyond the reach of you and other unknown rats?
However, Chu Tian did not say it in front of Hu Lu Wa, not wanting to hurt Hu Lu Wa, but said modestly: "Haha, it's just a fluke."
Chu Tian said so humbly because he didn't want to offend Hu Lu Wa. Facing Chu Tian's modesty, Hu Lu Wa not only didn't appreciate it, but said with disdain: "Pretending!"
"Oh no! You've seen all this!" Well, it turns out that this guy Chu Tian didn't want to attack each other's babies. He just wanted to show off. He deliberately pretended to be humble. This is so ungrateful.
Beaten
"" I was speechless for a while while playing with each other, and I said to myself, with your pretentious skills, how can you hide your own dazzling eyes? Huh?! It seems that the word is blazing eyes, rub it!
Chu Tian did not have an in-depth discussion with Hu Lu Wa on the issue of pretentiousness. Instead, he became interested in Hu Lu Wa's 0-point test question, so he said: "Brother Jin An, tell me, what is your question like?"
