As Tang Ning walked out of the gate of Gongyuan, a clear and joyful voice came to her ears.
He turned his head and saw Xiaoru standing not far away waving to him.
Zhong Yi and Tang Yaoyao were also there. Fang Xiaopang was holding two candied haws in her hands. When Tang Ning walked over, she handed one to Tang Ning and said, "You worked hard in the exam, this is a reward for you."
No one asked him how he did in the exam. Xiao Ru took the baggage from his hand and said, "Brother Xiao Ning must be very hungry. Go back and eat quickly..."
Tang Yaoyao looked at him and asked expectantly: "I heard many people say that they didn't even finish answering the questions. How did you do in the exam..."
Before she could finish her words, Zhong Yi pulled her sleeves. Zhong Yi turned his head and looked at Tang Ning, and said softly: "After passing the exam, don't think about it anymore. Let's go back first. Our parents are waiting for us to eat."
Woolen cloth……"
In the Gongyuan, candidates came out one after another, looking at the departing figures with envy on their faces.
Not to mention how well that brother did in the exam, when he walked out of Gongyuan, he was greeted by three beauties. They were both candidates, which is really enviable...
…
Today's meal was even richer than the previous few days, so rich that Tangning felt a little embarrassed.
If he didn't do well in the exam this time, the person he felt most sorry for would be the cook at Zhong Mansion.
Chen Yuxian put the food in the distance onto the plate in front of Tang Ning and said, "Eat more. Eat more so you have the strength to take the next exam."
"There is nothing to prepare for the next round of poems." Zhong Mingli looked at him and said: "There are still two days until the first round of results is released. Just take a good rest in these two days and don't feel any pressure..."
There are three state examinations, and they will be eliminated one by one. After the first examination, the examiners will mark all the examination papers within two days, select the candidates who are qualified to participate in the second examination, and publish the list.
Only those who pass the first exam are eligible to take the subsequent two exams.
The poems and poems in the second session test the candidates' literary talents, and the policy analysis in the third session tests the students' ability to govern the country. In these two sessions, students can express themselves freely to a large extent.
Luck also plays a role in this. If you happen to be tested in poetry that you are good at, or if you have insights into the policy questions, your ranking will definitely not be too low.
But this first comprehensive test is about actual accumulation and the students’ foundation over the years, and there are no shortcuts.
Zhong Mingli knew in his heart that Tangning had forgotten a lot of things due to amnesia and had only one month to review. The possibility of passing this first session was too small.
He didn't have high hopes for this. What he originally thought was that he could take part in the next state examination.
Neither Zhong Yi nor Su Ru asked him how he did in the exam. Tang Ning knew they didn't want to put too much pressure on him.
He thought about it. If he hadn't missed it, he had already answered all the test questions. This first test was just a matter of copying the answers in his mind. There was no difficulty at all.
There were only a few historical examinations, and Tang Ning felt a little unsure, because the histories of the two worlds were very different. Regarding the evaluation of historical figures, he did not memorize the standard answers, and there might be errors.
But a small mistake should not affect the overall situation.
However, the next session will be different from the next one. The examiner's subjectivity plays a big factor in poems, poems, and strategies, and he can only do his best.
After the first session of the state examination, Gongyuan was sealed off.
The imperial court attached great importance to the imperial examination. In order to avoid suspicion, local officials were not allowed to serve as examiners. All examiners at Lingzhou Gongyuan were temporarily transferred from Kyoto.
They have to review 5,000 test papers and select more than 1,000 qualified candidates from 5,000 people in just two days. It is not an easy task.
Fortunately, after the first screening, the number of candidates participating in the second session will be greatly reduced, and they will be much more relaxed after the second and third sessions.
Gongyuan, in a spacious hall.
More than a dozen examiners sat at their own desks, with thick examination papers placed on the desks in front of them.
In the hall, noisy sounds came and went.
"A person who reads books with illegible handwriting is like a dog crawling and not getting it!"
"The test paper is dirty, there are two clumps of ink on it, it looks like a mark, so I won't take it!"
"On a paper scroll, only 30% of the questions were answered. How does the Lingzhou local government school select people..."
"After more than ten examinations, no one answered more than 70% of the questions. It's sad, sad..."
"It's really not as good as every session..."
…
Liang Dong, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was appointed by the imperial court to serve as the Lingzhou Prefectural Examination Examiner. He had to review nearly 400 examination papers in these two days.
The first exam had a huge amount of questions, so he reviewed them one by one. After only reviewing a dozen or so papers, he already felt a little bloated.
However, as an examiner, he must be serious and responsible. If anything goes wrong in this process, his career will be stained with an indelible stain.
After greeting the bachelor who had written the questions several times in his mind, he picked out a few papers that seemed to be marked with too scrawled handwriting, took a drink of water, and continued to review.
In the test papers he read, no one answered 70% of the entire paper, but he was not surprised by this.
The amount of questions in this first test was so large and so broad that even he couldn't help but want to curse. Over the years of scientific examinations, there was almost never a candidate who could answer all the questions.
The comprehensive ability of the candidates tested in the first test is very broad, and candidates need to focus on and make choices based on their own abilities.
Whether it is a state examination or a provincial examination, those who can answer 60% of the questions correctly can be considered qualified, those who can answer 70% are considered excellent, and those who can answer 80% or more are very rare...
However, to some extent, this also reduces the difficulty of their review.
After reviewing a dozen more test papers, he took a short break and picked up another one.
Every time he gets a test paper, he will look at it as a whole. If there is any scrawled handwriting, or the test paper is dirty, or there are obvious marks, he can directly judge it as a failure, saving time and effort. As an examiner, he has this
power.
Although the handwriting on this test paper was not eye-catching, it was quite satisfactory. The test paper was clean without any stains. He felt a little disappointed, so he picked up the ink pen and started marking.
The filling and interpretation of the meaning of the scriptures were all correct. He nodded. The meaning of the scriptures was the basis, and very few candidates would make mistakes on this.
Regarding several obscure legal provisions, he actually answered them all, which was a bit rare.
The arithmetic questions... actually had one correct answer. Arithmetic had never been taken seriously. This was the first test paper he had reviewed that had all the arithmetic questions correct. A large number of candidates would simply give up on the arithmetic questions.
These historical examinations, well..., although the angles are a bit tricky, they are not too out of touch. They can be regarded as clear ideas, which shows that he is not like most students who only know how to memorize for exams.
, the imperial court lacks such talents...
…
Liang Dong was in a happy mood while reviewing this test paper. He nodded while reviewing it. When he turned to a new page, he realized that the test paper had been marked.
He was stunned for a moment, then as if he remembered something, he put down the pen and turned back to page.
After a while, Liang Dong suddenly stood up from his seat, holding a test paper in his hand, turning it over and over, and murmured: "Monster, monster..."
Several examiners beside him noticed something strange about him and asked in surprise: "Master Liang, what's wrong with you?"
Liang Dong came to his senses, put down the test paper, and said with a smile: "Several adults, come and take a look, I have a monster here..."
After a while, several examiners gathered around the test paper and marveled.
"There is such a person in Lingzhou?"
"The last time I got all the answers correct in the first test was the provincial test more than ten years ago, right?"
"Talent, talent..."
"Haha, I'm afraid even people can't describe this kind of monster..."
While several people were laughing and chatting, two people walked in from outside the door. The examiners held their hands in succession, "Master Fang, Master Wang..."
The two examiners looked at them and said in surprise: "You guys, this is..."
Liang Dong looked at the two examiners, smiled, and said, "You two adults will know if you come over and take a look..."
…
When Tang Ning had dinner in the morning, she learned from her father-in-law that the first test papers of the state examination had been marked. The Gongyuan had lifted the blockade and notified the Yamen. By the afternoon, the candidates who passed the first test would be posted.
List.
In less than two days, 5,000 test papers were reviewed, which was really hard for the examiners.
Tang Ning later asked her father-in-law whether his answers to the history-related questions were a bit off, so he probably wouldn't get points...
However, he answered the other parts quite well and should be able to enter the second round smoothly.
After finishing the meal and putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhong Mingli said with some sigh: "Today, there was a news in the Gongyuan, saying that among the students of this batch, there was someone who answered all the questions in the first session without making any mistakes.
, even the two examiners found it a bit unbelievable, and bluntly said that there was a monster in Lingzhou..."
Tangning had experienced this before and knew how difficult it was to answer all the questions correctly.
Sure enough, there are people out there, there is a world out there. He couldn't even get full marks while driving, but there are still people who can do it. This is not a monster, it is simply a beast...
