Red Mansion Jia Lan: Do you want to run away tonight to visit your relatives? Chapter Ninety-Four: Jia Qiang expresses her sincerity to resolve the knot in her heart, and finally meets Jie Yuan after revealing her ambiguous name.
Chapter Ninety-Four: Jia Qiang expresses her sincerity to resolve the knot in her heart, and finally meets Jie Yuan after revealing her ambiguous name.
Jia Qiang was in a good mood and drank another glass of wine after getting a long-term mission and getting away from Ningguo Mansion.
However, after drinking this sip of wine, he became even more depressed. After a while, he said to Jia Lan with a bitter face: "Brother Lan, it's not that I'm being pretentious and just want to pick up the errand and leave. It's actually someone from the East Mansion."
That person really went too far. You wouldn’t believe it even if he told me. I accidentally heard a piece of news in Dongfu some time ago, saying that it was in Tianxiang Tower..."
"Brother Qiang is drunk!" Jia Lan yelled, hugged Jia Qiang, and whispered something in his ear. His face was filled with excitement, and he looked at Jia Lan in confusion.
"I'm drunk, I'm really drunk..." After a moment, Jia Qiang's face turned red, her pupils could not hide the surprise, she kept shaking her head, but finally she said something that only the two of them could hear.
"Brother Lang, thank you..."
At this time, there was a commotion in the back room. It was the bride and groom who were finishing their wedding ceremony, and the guests were cheering after drinking a glass of wine.
Here, Jia Lan is congratulating the bridegroom, and all the examiners in the Gongyuan are also scrutinizing papers without sleep or food.
The test paper on the second day of the rural examination was really too simple for these marking officers who had been immersed in writing documents for many years, because whether it was poetry or official document writing after that, they all followed clearer norms and formats, and the evaluation was easy.
Much simpler.
What is more troublesome is the discussion on the third day. Since everyone, whether the examinee or the marking officer, has a different position and point of view, Sheng Hong, as the main question maker, must read every paper as much as possible.
Fortunately, Shuntian Prefecture, as the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty, was listed separately in the imperial examination. It was open to students from Shuntian, Yongping Prefecture, and Liaodong Dusi. Therefore, the total number of candidates was only more than 2,000. If
In a place like Gangnam-do where literary styles gather together, there are close to 10,000 candidates year-round, which puts even greater pressure on the examiners.
But he took a trick and basically only looked at the question he was most concerned about in the policy paper, so it was much easier.
Many candidates had no practical experience at all, and most of the content they wrote was general talk for a long-time bureaucrat like him. Therefore, Sheng Hong read very quickly, and he had already read a third of the book in one day without missing a beat. In the afternoon, after taking a short break, Sheng Hong cheered up and continued reading the paper after taking a sip of ginseng tea. A policy essay caught his attention.
This person did not directly answer the question of "how to select talents and focus on power and policy". Instead, he reviewed the achievements of the Han Dynasty in opening the Silk Road from a historical perspective. He also said that with the advancement of technology and the reproduction of the population, there must be more
When overseas countries come to the land of China, the imperial court should not ignore them. It should set up an authoritative agency to deal with overseas affairs one by one. At the same time, it should briefly list the strength and suggestions, such as setting up a translation office and sending permanent envoys to imitate those sent by the Zhou Dynasty.
The collector collects folk customs from various places to learn about overseas countries.
Sheng Hong's eyes lit up immediately after reading it, especially the sentence in the article "A gentleman in the world should not hide his secrets, and think about the meaning of style" which made him applaud. He is a flexible bureaucrat, and he immediately realized that doing so can indeed reduce the number of people.
Resistance to reform.
With joy, Sheng Hong then read the candidate's policy argument and saw that the previous marking officer had already commented, saying that "the words are meaningful, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and he plans them slowly, and has the style of seeking the country."
, he felt the same way after reading it, and he felt a faint love for talents in his heart.
I just don’t know if it’s that person...
On the fifth day after the provincial examination, all the examiners gathered together again.
"My colleagues have worked hard for many days. Today, the results of each room have been obtained. After confirming that the rankings are correct, let's start unpacking the papers."
Sheng Hong comforted everyone. His expression was a little tired. Everyone in the audience originally looked low on energy, but when they heard the word "unfolding", they were all shocked. Unfolding means that the marking has finally reached the final stage...
…
Agreeing on the rankings simply means choosing the top spot for this autumn.
Because scholars all specialize in studying one classic, it is customary to select one from each of the five classics as the leader of the five classics and list them on a list, with the third to fifth as the leader of the classics, the second as Ya Yuan, and the first as Jieyuan.<
/p>
Then fill in the main list starting from the sixth place, so the sixth place in the provincial examination is the first of the main list, listed under the Jing Kui, and is called Ya Kui.
The official of the Book of Songs Room came out and said: "Sir, I recommend Volume Jihai of the Book of Songs Room as the first volume."
The other examiners whispered that in every imperial examination there were always the most people taking the Book of Songs test, so the chief of the Book of Songs room was often chosen as the answer.
"The lower official has objections." The official of the fashionable study room came out and said, "My Shang Shufang's Wuxu volume ranks first among the four books. Every chapter can be called a model of Chengwen. The lower official thinks that the Wuxu volume should be the first volume!"
After hearing what this room official said, the room official in the Book of Songs room was stunned, and the other rooms were also speechless.
Without him, this year's Shang Shufang Jingkui is really too weird. All the four book titles are excellent. His writing skills in tabulation and edict making are as sophisticated as those of an old official with many years of experience. His policy writing is also stable.
But from the perspective of the article, Shang Shufang Jingkui was indeed irrefutable. Everyone could only look up at the chief and deputy examiners in the hall.
Deputy Chief Examiner Shuntian Academic Affairs smiled and said: "I think that Shang Shufang Jingkui has the lingering charm of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If he is not the first, it is not enough to show his reputation."
Now everyone's eyes are focused on the examiner.
Sheng Hong stroked his beard and smiled: "I deeply agree with the views of Master Xuezheng! Therefore, I regard the chief minister of Shang Shufang as the first paper of the Shuntian Prefecture Township Examination in the 14th year of Qingfeng!"
Everyone went out to salute together.
Officials had already filed in, bringing the original and copied test papers to the hall one by one, unsealing them for verification, tearing off the names, and starting to fill in the roll call.
"The first name in the study room is Shenjing Jialan!"
"Is it this boy?!" Everyone in the hall was talking about it.
Some people praised: "It's no wonder that this man can write 'Heaven is my heart, my heart is heaven'. Jieyuan's name is well deserved."
"It's amazing, this is the twelve-year-old Jieyuan. There has never been a Jieyuan of this age in the country, right? It is really the prosperity of culture and education in the Dazhao Dynasty!"
Although Sheng Hong had already had a premonition, he couldn't help but feel happy when he heard the clerk roll call. He smiled and said to the deputy examiner beside him: "Master Academic Affairs has a sharp eye and has chosen such a talented person. The twelve-year-old
Jie Yuan, if the thirteen-year-old Jinshi is named on the imperial examination list next autumn, wow, this is really a grand event in our Great Xia Dynasty! Master Xuezheng has contributed a lot!"
Xuezheng said with a smile: "Brother Xiu Jin has given you too much praise. It is our duty to cultivate talents for the country, so how can we dare to take credit for it?"
Watching the clerk fill in the names, Sheng Hong said seriously: "The two lists have been decided. This autumn has come to an end. I will report it according to the facts. Please sign it."
After that, he picked up a pen and wrote down a form, and all the officials came forward to sign and seal it to prove that everything went well in this exam.
Sheng Hong then sealed the form and handed it to Jinwu Guard Baihu who was guarding the examination room: "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir."
"You're welcome, sir."
Jinwu Baihu took it and sent it out immediately.
Sheng Hong smiled at everyone in the hall: "I feel sorry for you all to stay for another half day, and you can go home after the results are released."
