Mai Fan chuckled at this scent. It was not that he was too cruel.
This imperial examination is like a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops. It can affect everyone.
If he fails to perform because of just a few stutters? Then the candidate's psychological defense is too weak.
Even if he is lucky enough to pass this government examination, he will not be able to pass the subsequent college examination.
He sent these candidates home early to review and start all over again next year. It was for their own good.
You're welcome, who made him the villain?
Mai Fan, who consciously had good intentions, ate without any psychological burden.
Looking at the test questions again, they became more pleasing to the eye.
To pass the government examination, the most basic requirement is to read through the Three Classics, and then during the process of dictating, you can choose other two classics, collectively called the Five Classics.
This requires students to recite much more, and the questions asked are more extensive.
But as long as it was a memorization subject... Mai Fan was so confident that no one could pass him.
Although the entire exam takes three days, if all the test papers can be answered on the third day, the examiner will not stop the candidates from going home.
Because the test papers are divided into one, two, and three, they are distributed on three days.
So Mai Fan waited patiently until the third day.
After reading through the test questions, he went directly to the book and wrote silently without any pressure.
By the time Mai Fan stood up from the case, it was just past noon.
Fortunately, the servants of the Xue family came early, otherwise Mai Fan might not have been able to go home immediately after leaving the house.
The book boy who had been with Mai Fan for many years had a look of distress on his face. In his opinion, his Qingjun young master was now like a gray monkey, exuding a suspicious smell.
Mai Fan, who had always been very tidy, didn't bother to say anything more. He just asked the driver to go home quickly and talk about the results later.
On the contrary, after they left, the remaining students in the same examination room breathed a sigh of relief.
They said that what kind of knowledge could this rich young master have? He knew how to eat and drink every day. If he didn't know how to solve this problem, he probably gave up.
This afternoon, there was no smell of meat and vegetables floating in the examination room.
They were able to calm down and answer the last day's questions more appropriately.
It's a pity that they don't know how talented this young master is in studying.
Mai Fan handed in his test paper and the examiner took the lead in reviewing it.
These three test papers were reviewed by the examiner before and after. At the end, each one had the word "take" written on it.
By the time everyone left the examination room, the examiner had already passed dozens of papers.
Even though he was ranked last, Mai Fan was ranked at the forefront of this examination room because of his flawless answers and beautiful handwriting.
As the chief examiner of this exam, after a rough review, I approved the deputy examiner’s idea.
Several people checked again to see if any of the unsuccessful candidates were the top cases of this year. After finally confirming that nothing was missing, the list was released to the public the next day.
This time, Mai Fan was not so lucky to get first place.
The person who got first place was a scholarly boy from a well-known family in Jinling Mansion.
Their ancestors were civil officials, and now there are elders who are direct descendants of their uncles and are serving as officials in the capital, and their ranks are not considered low.
As a prefect who was also a court official, he was basically the same generation as the first uncle in his family.
After seeing the other party's name and considering the accuracy of the answers in the two examination papers, he ranked the other party in front of Xue Pan.
After all, both of them have perfect scores, and whoever comes first or second will be judged by the full-screen examiner.
Regarding the fact that they only came in second place this time, the Xue family didn't know there was such an inside story.
They just felt that the results exceeded expectations as always, and Xue Jue was even full of expectations for Mai Fan to get the title of scholar in one try.
After all, among the four major families, the Shi family followed the route of military generals, serving in the military from top to bottom.
As for the Wang family, due to the small number of people, only one Wang Ziteng can be regarded as the mainstay of their generation. As for the only remaining one, I heard that he is just studying in the capital casually, and I only heard that he attracts cats and dogs.
He plays every day, is incompetent in literature and martial arts, and has no talent at all.
The only ones who can compete with the Xue family are the Jia family.
However, the year before last, the second eldest son of the Jia family, who was also his brother-in-law, suffered from hemoptysis while taking the provincial examination, and ended up dying at a young age, which suddenly ended the hope of the next generation of the Jia family.
In the next few years, I heard that their second son, the one named Jia Baoyu, started to go to school, and it was also said that he had a reputation as a god-given god...
Xue Jue knew that if he didn't want to die, he would have to find a way to stay as far away from Jia's house as possible.
This is why the great reputation of the old Duke of Guo still exists.
The current emperor can still think about some of his old feelings.
If the current emperor abdicates, and when the next one comes up, no matter who becomes the emperor, he will definitely not be able to let the gifted person chosen by God live happily.
I don’t know which idiot gave him such a reputation.
Seeing his son's excellent results, Xue Jue barely calmed down and shook his head. Now that he has time, he must keep his wife away from someone over there.
I am afraid that my son may really be able to fight for a different future for the Xue family.
Mai Fan could vaguely feel what his father was thinking.
But the most important thing for him now is to successfully pass his last hurdle.
The first step to buying a scholar, farmer, industrial and commercial taxi is to pass the hurdle of being a scholar.
The next day after the results were released, the examination room was still in the same place, but the invigilator was at a higher level.
The invigilator for scholar examinations is appointed by the provincial academic administration.
By this time, the students who had passed the government examinations already had a very serious name.
Because they passed the previous two exams, these students' external identities have changed.
They are no longer simply white bodies, but children who can be called Mr. Yiyi.
This is already an affirmation for readers.
Now, as long as they take a step further, they will be able to enjoy the most basic benefits granted to scholars by the imperial court.
Therefore, no matter how old the person taking this exam is, the nervousness is almost the same.
And in this last test, I finally used the method of solving the problem and making a fuss.
Putting aside those repetitive and boring scriptures, the examiners can also see the candidates' intentions, understanding of the article, and the richness of their knowledge and experience.
This is not the first time that Mai Fan has taken an exam in another world.
