In the next few days, the two examiners really sat there all day long, and even Shen Zhuangyuan felt drowsy.
The reason why he didn't fall asleep was also thanks to Zhao Zhuangyuan's snoring, which had its own resonance and could change its pitch, making it so noisy that he couldn't sleep at all.
Mr. Zhao is also a great sleeper. Every morning before he can sit down for a cup of tea, he will start snoring, sometimes like the continuous spring rain, sometimes like the summer thunder, sometimes like the chirping of autumn insects, sometimes like the cold wind on a winter night, like a song Variations on the Four Seasons.
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but secretly sigh, it was indeed a real celebrity who was in a romantic mood. They all lowered their voices involuntarily, fearing to disturb his rest.
Until lunch time, Mr. Zhao would wake up on time again, rub his sleepy eyes, and say to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard this morning, let's go have lunch."
When I came back from my lunch break, I sat down for less than a cigarette and my snoring was still there, as if it would never stop
Then at dinner time, he would wake up on time and say to his fellow examiners: "Everyone has worked hard today. Go and have dinner."
As time went by, he became less embarrassed. One time he asked everyone, did my snoring disturb you?
All the fellow examiners said absolutely not. Especially every afternoon, when I was tired and exhausted, Uncle Zong's snoring refreshed me. Everyone generally felt that their waists were no longer sore, their eyesight was no longer blurry, and they could grade papers much faster.
Well, I can't sleep now. So Mr. Zhao had no choice but to comply with everyone's request and insisted on sleeping very hard every day. Later, he really couldn't sleep anymore. In order to maintain the quality of sleep during the day, he had to play mahjong all night with Duke Ding at night
In this way, the 23rd day arrived. From this day on, the examiners from each room began to recommend the papers they liked.
Mr. Zhao finally cheered up and began to perform his duties.
He and Shen Shixing needed to quickly go through the thirty main selection papers and ten alternative papers selected by the examiners of each room, and then select some of them.
Because the quota for this subject is 400, of which 220 will be admitted for the Southern Examination. 140 people were taken from the north roll and 40 people were taken from the middle roll. There are 540 main selection papers alone, so not all recommended papers will be selected.
According to the unspoken rules, those who are ranked higher by the same examiner will be admitted to the same room, and the higher they are, the more they will suffer. However, those who serve as housing examiners in the Department of Science and Technology will receive certain care for their winning scores. As for how to divide the spoils specifically, it depends on the examiner.
Zhao Shouzheng didn¡¯t understand these, but Shen Shixing was well-versed. However, Shen Zhuangyuan was not arbitrary. Instead, he looked at every paper and asked Zhao Shouzheng for his opinion.
But how could Zhao Shouzheng say half a word ¡°no¡±? He has always been very self-aware and knows that without the help of his son, he might still be a dull scholar. Who is good enough to judge someone else's test papers?
"Second Master Zhao is afraid of wasting ten years of hard work for others, so it's better to let a real top scholar like Shen Shixing with profound education make the decision. There is no need to be innovative just to show his ability. What's more, I don't have much ability.
Shen Shixing himself is a good old man, and Mr. Zhao has made up his mind to be a married couple. The two of them naturally respect each other as guests, and they are also friendly to their fellow examiners. They will be admitted according to the papers they selected and according to the rankings they assigned, and the quota will be as high as possible. Fair distribution, so that each of the eighteen room examiners is satisfied.
They heard that in previous years, in order to show off their abilities, the chief examiners would often find faults deliberately to make it difficult for fellow examiners with no background to get off the stage. Like this year, there are almost no people who fully respect their opinions and do not show the authority of the examiner.
Everyone couldn¡¯t help but secretly say that they were lucky, thinking how happy it would be if they could serve as officials under these two Bodhisattvas.
Soon, the four hundred places were determined, and it was past noon on the 24th, and the next day was the day to fill in the list.
The examiners piled all the 3,600 papers that had not been accepted in the hall and asked the examiner to search for the papers.
This is also the last chance for the students to take this exam
But usually the examiners just go through the formalities, flipping through the exams symbolically, and randomly find a few lucky ones to win, which is considered to be the best thing in the world.
Of course there is the mean examiner, so it is normal not to search and lose the papers.
However, the fellow examiners discovered that the chief examiner, who had always been calm and unhurried, was actually a little nervous at this time.
"Brother Gongming has been doing the same thing this time in grading, how about you do it next?" Shen Shixing said jokingly, while giving Zhao Shouzheng a meaningful look.
It means that if the papers of the three young masters are 'left behind', this is the last chance to make amends.
"No, no, no," Zhao Shouzheng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The level of the chief examiner is much higher than that of the lower officials. You should continue to work hard for the chief examiner."
"No matter where you are, Brother Gongming has noble character and profound education, which are all above me."nbsp; When the closed gate of Gongyuan opened, the examiners who had been imprisoned for a month finally regained their freedom.
After the sedan chairs of Duke Dingguo, Ma Butang and other officials came out, the official sedan chair of Mr. Zhao also came out.
He was wondering what kind of tricks were waiting for him when he got back. Suddenly he heard someone calling him grandpa. He opened the sedan curtain with emotion and took a look. He saw Zhao Hao holding a pair of children in his arms, followed by three boys, who were paying homage by the roadside. He waved.
"Stop!" Mr. Zhao's eyes were pale and turned red immediately.
The bearer hurriedly got off the sedan. Before the attendant could press down the sedan pole, he saw the master swish out and ran to meet him with open arms: "My son is back. I miss you so much!"
Mr. Zhao was afraid of being hugged by his father in public, so he quickly ordered in a low voice: "Shixiang, Shiqi, Shifu, why don't you hurry up and hug grandpa."
The three boys hurriedly ran forward, reaching out for a hug.
"Hey, good, good baby. Grandpa misses you too." Mr. Zhao quickly squatted down, hugged his three chubby grandsons, and cried like a grandson (Remember the website address: www. hlnovel.com
