Time flies, and it’s late February in the blink of an eye. Seven days have passed since the third session of the general examination was completed.
At this time, the first round of grading work by the same examiner was basically completed. Each room officer selected the examination paper that he thought was the best, drew a circle on the beginning of the paper, and sent it to the deputy examiner Ding Siquan.
Many of these recommended papers have the words "highly recommended" and "top of the list" written on them, and some even have the words "can be ranked among the best" written on them.
Ding Siquan took a rough look at the recommendation papers sent by each room, and found that there were more than a dozen so-called "Jinggui", and he couldn't help but laugh and cry.
However, Ding Siquan had already anticipated this situation.
As we all know, after each examination, high school candidates must respect the examiner as their teacher and pay him the courtesy of teacher and student to express their gratitude for the recommendation.
Therefore, as long as an official can preside over a subject examination, he will have countless disciples in the court in the future. This is why the position of examiner is so popular.
Although the fellow examiners are not as famous and wealthy as the examiners, they can still share a lot of benefits.
The examiners also have the kindness to recommend the candidates. After the candidates reach high school, they should also treat them as teachers and students and respect them as room teachers.
For these fellow examiners, this is an extremely valuable network.
Therefore, fellow examiners naturally hope that the examiner will accept more exam papers that they recommend.
Especially if one of the top five Wu Jing masters in the examination can be admitted to his own Jing room, it will not only bring glory to the fellow examiners, but also benefit a lot in the future.
Ding Siquan has been an official for many years, so he is well aware of the thoughts of these fellow examiners, but with these dozens of recommendation papers in front of him, Ding Siquan could not help but curse in his heart.
You are simply not a son of a man!
Eighteen fellow examiners almost each recommend a "Jinggui". There is no way they can get enough of the five classics leaders!
After scolding, Ding Siquan couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, he had already made up his mind to be a hands-off shopkeeper, and only Wei Chen would take care of everything. It was better to leave the trouble of selecting the recommendation papers and finalizing the examination to Wei Chen, the chief examiner.
.
Therefore, the recommendation papers sent by each room only stayed on Ding Siquan's case for one day, and Ding Siquan only turned over it symbolically.
One day later, Ding Siquan impatiently sent someone to bring all the papers, which were still almost intact, outside Wei Chen's house.
The door opened and when Ding Siquan entered the room, the first thing that caught his eyes were the two piles of examination papers in front of Wei Chen's desk.
There were two piles of examination papers, one on the left and one on the right. They were clearly separated, but they were piled up like a hill. Ding Siquan couldn't help but feel a little nervous just looking at them.
The pile is so high, how many exam papers are there? Did Wei Chen collect thousands of exam papers here?
It seems that what Wei Chen said before, that he should practice it personally and review every examination paper personally, even the rejected papers that have been rejected by the same examiner, is definitely not a lie!
Ding Siquan walked up to the case, bowed and said: "Mr. President, this is the recommendation letter sent by each room."
After hearing this, Wei Chen, who had been burying the first batch of red scrolls, noticed Ding Siquan's arrival and quickly put down his pen and stood up to greet him.
"I didn't know that when brother Lushan (full name of Ding Si) came here, Mr. Wei was not able to welcome him from afar, so it's not surprising that he still hoped to see brother Lushan."
"How dare you. How dare you."
Seeing the bloodshot eyes in Wei Chen's eyes, Ding Siquan immediately understood that Wei Chen must have been burning ointment and setting the sundial for the past few days to pass the exam, and he didn't dare to feel dissatisfied at all, so he quickly returned the favor to Wei Chen.
Ding Siquan knew that Wei Chen was busy with official duties and had no time to entertain him, so he only briefly reported to Wei Chen about the test papers. After a few words, he resigned wisely and no longer disturbed Wei Chen to continue grading papers.
After leaving the house, Ding Siquan was still frightened and a little emotional when he recalled the mountains of test papers he had just seen in front of Wei Chen's case.
"This Wei Xingyun really does what he says. Looking at him, he must have not had a sound sleep for several days in a row. After all, he is young and strong. If he had replaced me, I am afraid he would have collapsed in front of the case from exhaustion.
, talk about grading."
When he thought of this, Ding Siquan couldn't help but admire Wei Chen from the bottom of his heart.
Even though he admired him, Ding Siquan was still a little worried.
There are only a few days until the results are released. With so many test papers, plus the ones he just sent over, in just a few days, can Wei Chen really read them all by himself?
In fact, Ding Siquan's worries are not unreasonable.
In the first session of the general examination alone, each candidate had to submit seven essays. Together, the more than 3,000 candidates had to submit more than 20,000 essays.
What's more, there are still the second and third games later, so the workload of grading is huge, one can imagine.
Even though Wei Chen could read ten lines at a glance and have a photographic memory when grading papers, and his grading efficiency was far higher than that of ordinary people, he still felt stressed when facing so many papers.
Therefore, when the fellow examiners had not selected the recommended papers and the deputy examiner Ding Siquan was still drinking tea and taking a nap, Wei Chen had already ordered people to send the papers from each room and took the time to review them day and night.<
/p>
That's why Wei Chen couldn't hide the look of exhaustion on his face when he saw Ding Siquan.
Emperor Tian pays off, and Wei Chen is so diligent, and the results are naturally extremely significant.
Before Ding Siquan arrived, he had already seen most of the buildings in each room.
Now, all he has to do is read the last batch of papers within three days, plus the recommended papers sent by Ding Siquan. The pressure Wei Chen faces has been reduced a lot compared to before.
The day before the results were released, the 300 Chinese-style examination papers were finally decided. Wei Chen and Ding Siquan summoned eighteen fellow examiners to agree on the seats in the court hall, and then filled out the results by name.
As usual, before the seats are finally decided, the examiners will argue over the red papers in their respective examination rooms, and even have fierce quarrels.
But not this time.
Because the examiner Wei Chen has personally read every article in the Zhujuan, he knows the pros and cons of this article very well.
Coupled with Wei Chen's vision as a literary master of the time, he was naturally to the point when he judged the article, making it impossible for the examiners to refute.
In this way, after only half a day, the seats for the 300 Chinese examination papers for the Jinke Examination were decided, and then the names were filled out.
Seeing this, Ding Siquan, who had always been worried, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I thought it would be delayed for a while, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth."
After more than an hour of name-dropping and filling in the results, the three hundred candidates of Jinke Chinese School finally revealed their true colors in Lushan.
Some well-known talents are unknown on the list, while some unknown candidates make it to high school in one fell swoop, and even rank among the top candidates.
Seeing this scene, some of the examiners looked surprised, while others looked like they had expected it.
But even though their expressions were different, they were all convinced of the final result, and no one stood up to question whether Wei Chen's selection was fair.
Ding Siquan led a group of fellow examiners, bowed to Wei Chen, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency, you have devoted your whole life to selecting scholars for the country, and you are fair and strict. We admire you very much!"
"You are so ridiculous, Wei is just doing his duty." Wei Chen smiled and raised his hand, signaling everyone to get up.
Seeing Wei Chen facing everyone with a calm and gentle minister's demeanor, Ding Siquan suddenly felt mixed emotions in his heart. He couldn't tell whether it was jealousy or envy. After the tossing, it finally turned into a long sigh.
"After passing Jinke, this son's foundation in the court has been established, and no one can easily shake it..."
