  Chapter 315 Examination Ranking

  Sunset and sun rise, time flows; Kiss the years madly, splash ink orchid fragrance.

In Zhu Pingan's pen container where he splashed ink and practiced calligraphy, time passed quietly between his fingers like sand in the palm of his hand. The birthday of the old lady of Linhuaihou's Mansion was coming in a blink of an eye. I'm preparing for the old lady's birthday tomorrow.

  Zhu Ping'an also prepared a birthday gift for the old lady Linhuaihou, which was a calligraphy and painting, written by Zhu Ping'an himself. The paper is the best Chupi paper that Zhu Ping'an bought outside. It is white and smooth like a mirror.

  When writing calligraphy and painting, Zhu Ping'an also thought about it.

In ancient times, in this kind of home with bells and tripods, people would always send birthday poems or couplets to the old people on their birthdays. Most of the birthday poems were used badly, so some poets pointed out the difficulty: "There is nothing more difficult than longevity." Ci, if you talk about wealth and honor, it will be vulgar; if you talk about fame, it will be flattering; Nanshan" and the like, this kind of birthday greetings are almost rotten.

  After thinking for a while, Zhu Ping'an dipped himself in ink and wrote a calligraphy and painting on the fine Chupi paper:

   "Let's not talk about it, it's a Guanyin Bodhisattva who lives in the world. Even this year, he looks sixty, knows the bottom line, and is only sixteen.

   Mo Dao birthday incense candle, Mo Zhu Linggui Chunhe. All you have to do is to gently remove the pen, add a stroke on the cross. "

  Add a stroke on the cross to become a thousand years old. This kind of birthday greeting is indeed much better than Donghai Shou than Nanshan.

  Of course, this birthday speech was not Zhu Ping’an’s original creation. It was Xin Jiaxuan’s famous saying of humor and joy. Zhu Pingan changed the eighty to sixty, also in order to meet the birthday of the old lady of Linhuaihou Mansion.

  In addition to this calligraphy and painting, Li Shu also asked Baozi's little maid to send a jade carving for Magu's birthday, and asked Zhu Pingan to send it as a gift in due course. Li Shu was very thoughtful, afraid that Zhu Ping'an's gift would be looked down upon by the Hou Fu's eyes.

  Zhu Ping'an put his things away, lit up the oil lamp, and sat at the desk without letting go of the scroll.

   At this time, the night was deep, and the earth was already asleep. Except for the gentle breeze blowing, except for the occasional barking of a dog, the prosperous Hou Mansion was silent.

  The grandma of the Hou Mansion is in the old lady's room, telling the old lady the arrangements for tomorrow's birthday. The old lady is very satisfied with the grandma's arrangement, the main reason is that the few shops in the mansion have made a lot of money every day, and the business is very good.

  In order to expand profits, the old lady agreed to Grandma's plan and invested all the funds available in the mansion. Although it is a lot of investment, judging from the income in the past few days, the profit can be multiplied several times.

  The old lady felt that she was many years younger, and she was in a very good mood, almost catching up with the mood when she drove the vixen from the old three's family out of the Hou's mansion.

Grandma's mood is even better. The several shops in the mansion have made so much money on the surface, but in fact they have made more money, but it's all in Dafang's pocket. My own family has paid so much for the Houfu. , getting more is naturally a matter of course. Today, with the consent of the old lady, the capital that can be used in the mansion will be invested in, and the profit will be doubled at least several times. This time, my big house can get a huge amount of income again, and I no longer have to point to the third house to give money to the mansion. The subsidy in the. With money, you can also walk away the relationship and let your master's position move up.

   In a good mood, everything is fine. The eldest grandma cared about the daily life of the old lady, and the old lady loved and asked the eldest grandmother to go back to her room to rest earlier.

  In short, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are in perfect harmony.

  When Linhuaihou Mansion was quiet in the deep black night, the Shuntian Gongyuan, far southeast of the capital, was brightly lit. It was the last moment of marking, and there would be an exam for ranking.

In the Supreme Court, the fellow examiners worked overtime. At this moment, all the test papers had been reviewed and recommended. The chief examiners Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing also finished reviewing all the test papers recommended by the same examiners day and night. The chief examiners Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing Yan Maoqing even "searched" the lost papers and found two buried test papers, and finally won the 400-point test paper. So far, all 400 places for the Enke Examination have been selected.

  400 test papers to be admitted were laid out one by one on several long sheets. Each test paper on the long case has five-color fonts. This is because the marking officer also has very strict regulations on the color of the pen on the test paper. Officials such as receiving palms use purple pens, examiners and inner curtain officials use blue pens, transcription officers use red pens, readers use yellow pens, and chief and deputy chief examiners use ink pens. They are collectively called "five-color pens". The 400 test papers that are about to be admitted have fonts in five colors.

  The ranking of these 400 admitted test papers is also a lot of work.

  According to the practice of previous years, the examiners often argue over the ranking work, because the ranking of the exam is too important.

  Why is it so important, because the ranking of this general examination is almost the same as the ranking of the upcoming palace examination. In the palace examination, where the emperor personally set the questions, the rankings of new subjects will be rearranged, but if there is no accident, there is not much difference between the rankings of the palace examination and the general examination. The emperor just makes slight adjustments according to his personal preferences. Lang. The first, second, and third places in the First Class of the Palace Examination are the No. 1 Scholar, No. 2, and Tanhua. Ninety-nine percent of these three people will be among the top ten in this examination.

   The ranking of the examination is the last step of marking the papers, and it is also a step to test the quality of the examination.

  So, the ranking of this exam is of great importance, and the examiners, no matter the chief examiner or the same examiner, will often argue and express their opinions on this ranking.

The 400 test papers were placed on several long tables one by one, and nearly 30 test papers were placed additionally. These 30 test papers were additionally selected by the chief examiner Xu Jie during the paper marking, and they were all included in this meeting. The above work is also the focus of this test ranking.

  Under the auspices of the chief examiners Xu Jie and Yan Maoqing, the ranking of 400 test papers was carried out in an orderly manner. You and the examiners expressed their opinions and argued hard. Although there were constant disputes, the ranking work was still proceeding in an orderly manner.

  Except for the nearly 30 additional test papers, the ranking of the other 300 test papers came to an end amidst the drooling, and all of them were ranked.

Immediately afterwards, 20 out of the 30 test papers were also ranked as nouns, and the remaining 10 were also confirmed as the top ten. It's just that who is the first and who is the second in the top ten test papers. The opinions among the third examiners couldn't be unanimous, and they were constantly arguing. Some examiners even drank two cups of tea, but they still felt dry mouth, so they couldn't stop talking.
