Chapter 269 Stay one night
The Daliang Academy Examination was close to the Provincial Examination. The Hanlin Academy bachelor appointed by the emperor served as the presiding officer of academic affairs, and the chief examiner and fellow examiners supervised each other.
After the candidates hand in the test paper and have it stamped, the sealing officer will fold up and number the page with the name on the test paper, and then it will be recorded and proofread before it is sent to the examiner for review.
The two co-examiners will first review the paper, and then hand it over to the reviewing examiner for a decision. The purpose is to judge whether the review by the co-examiner is reasonable and fair.
After the examiner and fellow examiners make corresponding comments on the test paper, and after the final review is completed, a backup will be made for future inquiry.
It can be said that the imperial court was very strict in selecting scholars. Starting from the first court examination, the fairness of the examination was further improved to avoid the occurrence of favoritism and malpractice.
Moreover, the passing rate of this exam is extremely low, and it is more than ten times more difficult than the child student exam. Many scholars have been stuck in this level for decades and still have the identity of a child student.
Gu Wenxuan has been awarded the first prize in a row. Zhou Banxia is not worried that he will not pass the college examination. Under normal circumstances, the top ten in the college entrance examination are certain to be the top one.
She was worried about Dajiang.
After chatting with Mrs. Zhou about the family's personal problems, Zhou Banxia was not surprised to learn that Dajiang still wakes up early and studies late at night. Dajiang has his sights set high.
His goal is Linsheng.
Scholars are also divided into grades.
There is a saying that it is easy to become a scholar, but it is difficult to take exams every year.
Passing the academy examination and becoming a scholar does not mean that you will always have fame. There is also the annual examination.
During his three-year term in office, he conducted two examinations on all students. First, he tested the students' merits in the sixth grade, which was called the annual examination.
The first class is a lay student, the second class is a growth, the third class is an epiphyte, the fourth class is admonished, the fifth class is reduced to a growth, and the sixth class is temporarily expelled from the scholar team.
There is no need to worry about the annual examination at the moment, but the key is the number of junior students. If the first-class middle school students are not directly ranked first in the list, they will be classified as senior students. It will be more difficult to become senior students when they wait for the senior examination.
Probably because there is also a rule that students must take the annual exam every three years. Those who are unable to take the annual exam due to circumstances can make up the exam. If they fail to participate three times, the student qualification will be revoked.
The problem lies in the cause.
There is no need to take part in the annual examination to keep one's filial piety, and one's ranking will be retained, even if there is no elderly person in the family; if one cannot come back from a study tour, one's ranking will be retained for the time being.
Therefore, the previous rankings were retained, and the new junior students who took the college examinations twice in three years arrived. Often a scholar who got the first class in the annual examination would have to wait to become a junior student.
Of course, under normal circumstances, scholars will not wait foolishly. Instead of waiting for a place as a junior student, wouldn't it be better to take the provincial examination and win the exam?
All in all, her eldest brother's positioning was very accurate. The difficulty was that the college examination was not the government examination. She didn't dare to think about Dajiang getting into the top ten again.
Fortunately, the first twenty students are all junior students, but the first twenty students are so difficult. There should not be too many students in a province, and they cannot be the first to take advantage like Gu Wenxuan.
Zhou Banxia was really worried to death when he heard who was the examiner for this year's college examination.
This term's academic leader has finally been determined. He is neither the Gao (Gaofu) faction nor the Wang (Mrs. Qian's maiden family) faction, so he has no advantage.
Originally, she had thought that as long as people from these two groups served as examiners for the academic affairs of the province, and they had the other party's past articles to draw on, the writing style would not be a problem.
Now, it's troublesome. The policy itself is not like a nine-chapter calculation. If the answer is right, it is right, and if it is wrong, it is wrong. It attracts different eyes, and everyone has different standards for judging whether an article is good or bad.
In addition, students who can pass the government examination and participate in the college examination generally have good articles. No matter how the writing style does not meet the personal preference of the examiner, it is not funny to want to be in the top twenty.
Mrs. Zhou's eldest daughter-in-law has returned to Beijing. Unlike Zhou Huan, who often has one or two friends visiting Zhoujia Village, there will of course be many women looking for her.
But in Zhoujiacun, let alone finding someone who can talk to you thoughtfully, even if you have a common topic, there are very few people who can get along with each other more or less.
Unlike Zhou Banxia, not only many of her hobbies are very close to her who grew up in Jiangnan, but basically what she said, Zhou Banxia already knew what she meant.
After a long time, Zhou Banxia, a niece who got along well with her, was finally found. After chatting for a few words, Zhou Banxia frowned, but she was very happy.
"Well, this Mr. Zhang is the same age as your uncle. Although we don't have frequent contacts, your uncle still appreciates his personal style of writing."
In other words, Mr. Zhang from Jiangnan and his uncle may have different political views, but they still appreciate and cherish each other.
Zhou Banxia nodded to show that she understood. No wonder Xuanzi was caught by his uncle to take the exam as soon as he arrived and has not left the study room yet.
"Your uncle often said that you can write good articles without preparation and you are not afraid of getting a bad reputation." Mrs. Zhou nodded again when she saw Zhou Banxia looking out the window.
"I understand, if you don't give Brother Liulang a rest, it will be easier to see if he has slacked off recently." Zhou Banxia blinked, "High!"
Mrs. Zhou shook her head in amusement, "I want to compliment your uncle, so go ahead and praise yourself. The summer clothes are ready, but I don't know if they fit. Don't go to Zhuangzi tonight.
If it's not suitable, I haven't gone to Zhending Mansion yet and asked the sewing room to make some changes so as not to cause chaos in the busy schedule.
I have sent someone to tell your parents that you will stay here tonight and go back tomorrow morning.
Have a good night's rest. You will still be busy tomorrow. When you go back then, you will come to help me..."
Considering that he wanted to visit his master's grave tomorrow morning and it would be closer to him if he lived here, Zhou Banxia obediently obeyed Mrs. Zhou's arrangement.
Although the cold spring weather had passed when we left and returned to the village, it was not as hot as it had been in recent days.
The door curtains in the courtyard here have been changed, and even the quilts have been changed to thinner ones, not to mention summer clothes. There are several full boxes inside.
Zhou Banxia had already guessed that her aunt would not leave behind her summer clothes, but she did not expect that there would be so many of them. It was possible that they would be sent to Zhending Mansion before she could pass through Zhoujiacun, which would be enough for her to wear for a whole summer.
Compared with the summer clothes prepared for her, Gu Wenxuan and Dajiang's clothes were very few. It was very funny to think about it when Zhou Banxia was soaking in the bathtub to relieve fatigue.
After taking a quick bath, Zhou Banxia wanted to read a book and wait for Gu Wenxuan's return, but he underestimated how quickly he would fall asleep.
In a daze, she noticed that Gu Wenxuan was back, and seemed to have carried her from the couch to the kang, but she couldn't open her eyes and was very sleepy.
I slept this time.
When she woke up again, there was no one around her. If she hadn't clearly remembered that she was leaning on the couch reading a book, it would have been like a dream.
Yawning, he put on his clothes and went to the west room opposite. Unexpectedly, he saw that Gu Wenxuan had resumed his usual routine. It was still early morning and he was getting up to practice calligraphy.
When Gu Wenxuan heard the noise, he raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued practicing calligraphy, "It shouldn't be yet Mao hour (around five o'clock in the morning), what are you doing up?"
"You've had enough sleep. What time did you get up today? Are you not getting enough sleep?"
