Chapter 137:

President Officer Hou Wenqing sits in the first place. He looks like he is in his forties. He keeps a beautiful beard and is righteous.
He served as a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy and was a jinshi of Chengtian twenty-four years. This time he was enshrined in Jiacheng Emperor's Divine Grace.
Sitting down a bit on his right side, is Jiang Sizhou, the right assistant to the vice president's office. This person is older than Hou Wenqing, but is sitting there. This is also because the examiner has only divided the principal and assistant, and does not distinguish between high and low according to official position.
After more than ten Fang Examination officers entered with the examination papers, the gate of Heng Jiantang was closed.
Obviously it was blue sky and daylight, but the hall was brightly lit.
This closure is to open again after the end of the review. In the following days, these nearly twenty adults were all here to eat and drink Lhasa. Fortunately, Heng Jiantang is still quite big, but there is no shortage of places.
Twenty table cases were placed in the hall, the first one was a big case, and on the right side was the big case of the vice president. The next two rows are nine long cases. Eighteen room examiners, chief and vice president officials, gathered together.
I exchanged all the examination papers with each other, including the Spring and Autumn Room and the Spring and Autumn Room, and the Classic Room and the Classic Room. If there is a single order, several people will share it with each other.
The papers of Peng Baoyi's Spring and Autumn Examination Room were handed over to Sun Yuhai, because the Spring and Autumn Room also had a single room, and the two moved out a part and exchanged some with another examination room.
After everything can be stopped, Hou Wenqing, who stood after the first major case, solemnly said: "I have waited for many years to be an official. I have eaten monarchs and don't forget my roots.
Generally speaking, on such occasions, such things will be said. As for whether anyone listens, even if the person who speaks does not listen, then only God knows.
However, on the scene, everyone still bowed their hands as a gift, and said: "Just follow the instructions of adults."
After that, he sat down to read the paper.
This sitting may be just one day, during which I get up at most to drink tea and eat in the bathroom, or hurriedly.
There are internal confessions in Heng Jian Tang, which are exclusively for these examiners to drink tea and drink, and have their own arrangements for three meals a day. Even in the evening, he still reads the lights and reads at night. Until the president ’s official intervenes, he looks like a waste of sleep and forgetting to eat and working hard.
During this period, the Fang Examination Officer naturally recommended the paper. Peng Baoyi was next to Sun Yuhai. He saw him recommend the paper several times, and one of the main and deputy examiners greatly appreciated it.
It seems that this time the Huiyuan will come out of his room. Being able to become a Huiyuan, no matter how bad it is, is also a spread. This will be a network for him in the future, and he will naturally be happy in his heart.
In this way, several days passed, and all the examination papers were reviewed one by one, and a total of 300 main papers and 30 spare papers were taken. These thirty spare papers are actually just in case. Generally, if there are no other mistakes in the first three hundred, there will not be three hundred, but they will only be filled in the deputy list.
The deputy list is also known as the Mingtong list. In the past, Yongle emerged during the year. The person who can list the Tongtong list is also a tribute, but it is called a tribute. It is also regarded as an official for the court to give some tried and tested examples. Opportunities, generally ambitious people, will be taken care of. However, the choice of deputy tribute is very wide, you can still go to the next interview, of course, you can also choose to be released as an academic officer. Like professors and teachings in a certain prefecture, most of them are from Fu Gong.
At this time, Jiyouke will try to gather all the inside and outside curtain officials together, and all the lights in the hall will be brightly lit.
Eighteen house examiners are viewing 300 copies of the official papers and arranging their names for this meeting.
Speaking of this, it is necessary to talk about the standard of examination papers, because the green vegetables and radishes have their own love, and not one article is liked by everyone. From the marking officer all the way to the president's hand, it will be handed over by five or six people, level by level. Each reviewer will leave his or her opinions on the test paper. These opinions are generally expressed in terms of ‘circle’, ‘point’, ‘vertical’ and ‘cross’.
If it is a recommendation paper, it will post its own comments on the recommended paper.
Among them, ‘circle’ is the best, ‘dot’ is the second best, ‘vertical’ is the second, and ‘cross’ is the last stream.
The ranking is based on these judgments. If there are several test papers that are ‘circles’ at the same time, and the top and bottom cannot be separated, then the presidential officer needs to come up with an idea. Of course, the 20 examiners can read it again and reassess it.
The three hundred copies are quickly divided into a number of piles, of which the same is placed separately, and the more famous ones are already in the ranking.
There are dozens of similar examination papers, which are divided into three grades. By this time, the Fang examiners already knew which room the paper came from, and naturally they were blushing for ranking.
In the first place, Hou Wenqing placed several papers in front of them, all of which were painted with circles, and the representatives were all first-class, and now the first-class names are also listed. Seeing the following fierce competition, he smiled a little: "Fine you, if you really can't tell the length, just read it again. Look at me, there are also less lengths here, and I don't see how you are.
There is a lot of ridicule in this remark, and I can see that he is in a good mood. In fact, he is in a good mood and normal. Seeing that he completed the list today, he will be released tomorrow. After waiting for the list, there were more than 300 students out of thin air, and I was naturally happy.
But the room examiner is different. They can point to more than 20 candidates in a room, so they naturally care about the ranking of the room where they are.
After whispering in his heart, he seemed to realize that he really had a bad manner. The styles of the following room examiners have changed suddenly, although they still strive to be reasonable, in the end they are no longer as noisy as before.
The world only knows that these court officials are all majestic, but they do not know that they are like this in private. Civil servants like to quarrel the most, arguing in the hall, arguing in the government office, everyone is used to it. Don't look at the violent noise at this moment, see you next time after the dispute, or give each other a smile and smile, as if this hadn't happened.
Soon, the room examiners have already compared the results there, and Hou Wen above scored a few test papers early in the morning.
No one raised objections. After all, it was the president's officer. If the presidential officer can't do this, then what does the presidential officer do?
After the ranking is finished, it is the filling list. The examiner fills in the red number of the admission paper on the ranking according to the ranking.
After the draft list is filled, it is necessary for the inside and outside curtain officials to gather together to unroll the paper, check Zhu Mojuan one by one correctly, open the Mifeng, and write the candidate's name on the Zhujuan, and the ink roll write the candidate's admission ranking. Finally, the candidates' names and birthplaces are filled into the list according to the ranking.
When the first test paper was taken down, everyone looked at each other because the candidate's name was a bit strange.
Wu Wenxuan? Where is this sacred?
While going to the exam executors to study the examiner this time, in fact these people are also studying these executors, so I have some thoughts about a few popular examples.
"It seems that this time it broke out." I don't know who said that.
Hou Wenqing Fu Xu smiled and said: "Since ancient times, not all thriving people have won their names, and there is no mountain or water, just the right way."
These words have some meanings, and everyone present knows what Hou Wenqing is talking about. Without him, there were a few examples that were in the limelight this time, and two of them fell to the top.
"Master Hou said very much." Some people echoed.
As for those who did not speak below, their eyes flashed, and all remained silent.
Although this meeting was a little-known little person, it was a bit surprising. In the end, people are well deserved, and naturally no one has any objections.
After completing the draft list and the official list, the examiners dispersed.
They can't leave the tribute courtyard yet. They can't leave until the Tomorrow Department sends someone to take the test paper.
Hou Wenqing returned to his room, followed by a man dressed like a scholar.
This book official was also one of the surveillance officers. He followed Hou Wenqing for surveillance, but looking at it, he seemed familiar with Hou Wenqing.
"Adult, but there is no omission?"
Hou Wenqing shook his head.
The person was immediately relieved and smiled: "In this way, it is easy to explain to the old man."
Jiacheng nine years, the second day of March.
This day was the day when the Ritual Department released the list. It was still early in the morning and someone was guarding in front of Shun Tian Gong Yuan.
Although after the list was released, there were Annunciations everywhere, but at this time, many people still hope to see for themselves that the Xingbang is famous.
In Jing'er Hutong, it was busy now.
Because he is very confident in Xue Tingyan, that is to say, at least one of the three people can play, so even Mao Badou and Li Datian are happy.
"Ting Yan, you hurry up, if it is too late, the tribute courtyard will not be able to squeeze in."
"If you can't squeeze in, you won't be able to squeeze in anyway. Anyway, if you get in, you're in. If you don't get in, you won't get in even if you go so early."
"What you said is a bit strange. How did I hear a little bit of Tang's meaning? Do you say that Xue Jieyuan also feels upset?" Mao Badou ridiculed.
"You must have heard it wrong."
In the end, it was still too late, because three children would also go. The cause was Lin Yanran's suggestion, Zhaoer and Xue Tao'er seconded, and they simply handed over the shop to Chen Xiulan to watch, and the three packed up and went out with their own men.
But women's homes are more troublesome, and it is difficult to get out of the door, so naturally they have to dress up. Zhao'er didn't pay much attention to this. Recently, she was taken by Lin Yanran and Xue Tao'er, and she also had a kind of female attitude to please herself.
The three men waited for their faces to turn black, and the three women walked out of the room in bright clothes.
I have to say that this dress is still useful. The three men share the same color and each has its own beauty. The three men immediately changed their faces, especially Mao Badou, who was particularly unlucky, and immediately gathered to hold Lin Yanran's small hand, and a pair of pig brothers smiled directly at Lin Yanran.
"The Ba Dou is really no good!" Xue Tingyan whispered, turning his head to Zhao'er but said, "You look good in this one."
"Really beautiful?" Don't look at Zhaoer as an interrogative sentence, in fact, the eyebrows have been raised for a long time.
In the end, a group of six people, together with a child, went out together.
The child is naturally Hong'er, he still stayed in the back basket and let his father carry it. Candidates who look at the list like Xue Tingyan are estimated to be few in the whole world.
Sure enough, in front of the Shun Tian Gong courtyard, it attracted many people's attention.
Xue Tingyan arrived when they arrived, the list has been released, crowded in front of the Gongyuan gate, the needle could not be inserted.
Wang Yangxing sighed, and finally Mao Badou was cruel, and Xue Tingyan put Honger down, and the three men squeezed in together.
In the crowd, from time to time, someone squeezed out and flew all the way, and it was obvious that it was fortunate.
Others are crying dads shouting their mothers, pointing at the world, and some of them are so old that their beards are white, crying like tears, squeezed out of the crowd.
Hong'er asked curiously: "Mother, what's wrong with this grandpa?"
Zhaoer touched her son ’s face and whispered,
This grandfather is sad, so she will cry.

"Then what sad thing happened to him?"
"..."
In the crowd, Mao Badou and the three men took the effort of nine cattle and two tigers before they squeezed to the front.
In fact, Mao Badou is very powerful, because of his physique and great strength, it really exists in the world. He finally got to the front, so he went to La Xueting and Li Datian.
The three of them stood still, ignoring the low curses and swearing around them, and looked at Xing Bang from the beginning.
When he saw the words "Jiaxing, Wu Wenxuan" written in the first line, Xue Tingzao froze on the spot. Naturally, he didn't look down. It was Mao Badou and Li Datian who called him before he was awake.
Mao Badou's face was weird, a little bit angry, a little sullen, and a little hesitant.
Both the anger and the desire to speak were for Xue Tingyan, because he swept quickly from beginning to end, and did not see Xue Tingyan's name at all.
As for the mourning, it was because he himself did not see his name, including Li Datian.
In the end, the level of the two is here, and Mao Badou doesn't have the certainty that he will necessarily. He once estimated himself, he should be able to win the Jinshi, but when it is unknown. It may take several exams, or it may be several decades.
But Xue Tingyan also missed, which made him very incredible. From the teachers to the teachers at Beilu Academy, everyone thinks that Xue Tingyan is slightly better than Chen Jian. It doesn't make sense that Chen Jian has won the champion. Does Tingwan even have a scholar? !
"Ting Yan, don't worry about it first. Maybe we missed it. Let's look at it again. Maybe we missed it." Mao Badou smiled ugly comfortingly and complained to the people next to him: "It's all too crowded and too noisy. Let's watch it quietly. Do you mean Daejeon?"
Li Datian on the side nodded and said: "That's it."
Xue Tingyan smiled: "Yes, Badou, don't look at it, I missed it."
While Fang Cai Mao Badou was talking, he had read Xing Bang from beginning to end, and he was indeed on the list. Not only is he nameless, neither Mao Badou and Li Datian.
That being said, Mao Badou still stubbornly supported it and looked at it again, and by this time Xue Tingyan had crowded out of the crowd.
Zhaoer had just explained to her son what the old grandpa was crying, and he saw Xue Tingyan walked out of the crowd in a strange way.
With a chuckle in her heart, she subconsciously asked, "What's wrong with this?"
At this point, Mao Badou and Li Datian had come out later. They wanted to say something, but they went to see Xue Tingyan again.
Seeing this, what else is not clear?
Zhaoer smiled and said, "Are you missed? If you are not, then you are not. Is it worth it to you?"
At this time, Xue Tao'er and Lin Yanran also reacted, busy with the side, and also said some relief words, these words are mainly to comfort their men.
Zhaoer walked to Xue Tingyan and handed him Honger: "Hug your son, I've been holding it for so long, but I'm not too tired."
She stretched her lower arm and smiled and said, "You don't know, Fang Caihong'er asked me 'why did that grandpa cry,' and I told him that the grandpa would cry because of something sad. You can be a thousand Do n’t cry, if I do cry, I do n’t know how to explain to my son.

"Stroke ..."
"Okay, no miss, no miss, and it ’s not that the sky has collapsed. No miss is normal. You do n’t know that I have been thinking for a while. If you are really hit, I will definitely faint. Hurry up, let's go back, and Xiulan is still in the store alone. Besides, it's not too early this time, so I have to go back to make lunch. What should I eat today? I haven't given it to you I ’ve made some meat for cakes, will you make a meal today? Okay, I ’ll stew a pot of lamb for you. You like to eat these ... "
Somehow, Xue Tingyan's eyes were a little wet.
This is always the case with Zhao'er, even if he wants to comfort others, he just fills his mouth with some delicious and delicious food like coaxing a child so that he won't cry.
In fact, he loved crying most when he was a kid. It was a tear bag. Every time he cried, Zhaoer coaxed him so much.
Suddenly, Xue Tingyan remained anxious and calmed down. Some entanglements were not clear in his heart, and suddenly became clear.
He pulled Zhaoer and said, "You go back first, I have something to do. When your meal is ready, I will come back." So he put Honger in Zhaoer's arms.
"where are you going?"
But what responded to her was Xue Tingyan's back.
