But the examiner's smile froze on his face not long after.
Because the magistrate suddenly put down the vermilion pen and clapped his hands!
"Okay, our government has finally produced a candidate with such an excellent answer sheet this year!"
The other examiners who were sitting under the command of the prefect also stood up and bowed their hands to the prefect, "Congratulations, my lord!"
There was only one junior examiner sitting at the bottom with a puzzled look on his face.
At that time, several of their reviewers discussed these 'first-class' answer sheets together, first drew up a ranking, and then arranged them one by one according to the past habits, from best to second.
It stands to reason that the prefect's applause should be the first answer sheet!
Could it be that adults don't like pragmatic policy theory?It shouldn't be!
Since he took office, the magistrate has not only encouraged the development of industries, but even went to the field to harvest wheat with the farmers last year.And he didn't just put on a show, instead, he cut it all day long, sweating profusely.The harvested wheat is not much less than that of the peasants who often do farm work.
The magistrate saw the suspicion on the face of the new examiner, and immediately asked: "Feng Shanming, are you dissatisfied with the evaluation of this answer sheet?"
Feng Shanming attended directly, standing in the center of the lobby, directly opposite the magistrate.
He cupped his hands deeply again, and said, "I don't dare. But I and my colleagues have already drawn up rankings for the first-class answer sheets, and some of the answer sheets are particularly outstanding. I think..."
"Let's take a look, but now this answer sheet is more brilliant?"
Feng Shanming stood where he was, and Shao Yin (the magistrate's deputy, the county magistrate's deputy called Master) went down with the answer sheet and let him read it.
Feng Shanming nodded: "Exactly this! Maybe there was a mistake in the final arrangement of the officials. Please punish me."
The magistrate thought for a moment and said, "Nothing, just sit down."
After hearing what he said, the magistrate understood the twists and turns.
Feng Shanming has sorted everything out by himself, so how can there be mistakes?
Regardless, the person who finally presented this stack of answer sheets on his desk was the head of the examiner, He Minghui. That is to say, if Feng Shanming hadn't lied, he had played with Minghui.
But every case has to be based on evidence, and one cannot conclude that another examiner is guilty based on Feng Shanming's words.
The magistrate looked at He Minghui, and found that the smile on his face was very stiff, and there was panic in his eyes.It seems that this person has maintained this smile since he read the last answer sheet.
The prefect has already made a decision in his heart.
Although Guan and Minghui were flustered, they never defended themselves.Nothing more than because of incomplete evidence, nothing to fear.
In short, he didn't make his own claim to put this excellent answer sheet in the second class, but just messed up the order of the first-class answer sheet. Even if the magistrate asked him to question him, he could still say that his hands were shaking.
After all, there is no express rule that the first-class answer sheet must be submitted to the magistrate according to the ranking drawn up by the examiner.
Although it is wrong to disrupt the order of answer sheets, it does not violate the law and is not enough to convict.
The magistrate said: "I know this, you go down and come back tomorrow to draw up the ranking."
"Yes."
After everyone went out, the magistrate asked Shao Yin to remove the pasted seals on each answer sheet.
Since Minghui and Minghui deliberately switched the order of the answer sheets, the examinee of the first answer sheet must be inextricably linked with him.
Their dynasties stipulated that if an examiner had been appointed, then the relatives of the examiner would not be able to participate in the imperial examination this year.This will be screened at the time of registration, so it is definitely not a family relationship.
The magistrate said: "Check his family's unmarried daughter and brother, whether they are of marriageable age."
"Subordinates obey."
After Shao Yin dismantled the twelve answer sheets, he presented them to the magistrate with both hands.
At the same time, he himself paid attention to the name and place of origin of the candidate who had just been praised by the magistrate, and submitted the person's previous county examination results, reputation in the county, and the list of relatives at home.
The magistrate smiled and said, "Li Jin was also the chief case before."
He used the word 'also', and everyone knows the meaning of it.
Seeing the list of Li Jin's surviving relatives, the magistrate frowned in a rare way, feeling as if he had heard the name 'Qin Muwen' somewhere.
But it seems that it has been a long time, and he can't remember clearly.
After the magistrate went back to the backyard for dinner and went to the government office to see the list, he patted his head and remembered that Qin Muwen was the son of the Shang Shu who ransacked the house in the capital.
He had even met the kid once.
A close friend from the Ministry of Punishment brought him here before, and said that he should sell it farther away, and that it would be best not to return to the capital for the rest of his life.
"Master Shang Shu is kind to me. Now all the men in his family are sent to the frontier, and the girls are all prostitutes. This is the only one left...I have to find him a good family."
People who are officials have twists and turns, and they naturally understand that there must be someone above who does not want to make things easier for Shang Shu's family, so they can't find a clean and good-looking scholar in the government office or even the county to marry Qin Muwen directly.
First of all, it is necessary to make that person's reputation worse and his family poorer, but it is best not to have too many relatives. Qin Muwen has a soft temper and is easily bullied.
In the end, after many choices, he still chose Li Jin, who had the smallest population in his family.
Shao Yin saw that the magistrate was fascinated by a list of relatives with a few lines of words, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, is there a mistake?"
The magistrate put away the list and said, "Nothing."
After all, three years have passed since that incident, and the people above probably have long forgotten about this poor brother.
Furthermore, from Li Jin's pen and articles, it can be seen that this is a practical and intelligent candidate, and the magistrate is really unwilling to bury such a student.
This case, he decided!
Besides, on Li Jin's side, after returning to the village, he hugged his little husband to sleep (verb) that night, and told him what he had seen and heard in Fucheng after being warm.
Li Jin said: "After the government test results, we will go to Fucheng to settle down."
Qin Muwen lay on top of him, obediently responding.
Seeing that he trusted him so much, Li Jin smiled and kissed his hand, and said, "Aren't you afraid of going to Fucheng, I can't afford you and Baozi?"
Qin Muwen said: "Since my husband has made a decision, of course I will take the child with you all the time. If I have no money, I, I will eat less..."
Li Jin couldn't hold back and pushed him down again. How could his little husband be so well-behaved.
In the end, he said pitifully that he ate less and was well fed.
"Of course I know that you are easy to support." His kiss fell on Qin Muwen's lips, without the red candle brocade quilt, the warmth was infinite.
The slightly slender young man was forced to stretch his limbs, and endured the siege inch by inch. All he could do was hug the person on his body tightly.
The consequence of this was that Qin Muwen couldn't get up the next morning.
Xiao Baozi can now turn his head and turn over, and if he doesn't urinate or is hungry when he gets up, he won't cry or make noise.But she turned her head to look at her father, and said sweetly, "Ah!"
The word "ah" in front is so long, it seems to be lamenting something, but in fact it is just to make up a short and sweet "喷" at the end.
Li Jin left him a note, and he planned to buy hawthorn again.Before that, he only made two hundred catties of hawthorn, which was less than six hundred pieces, so he concentrated on preparing for the county exam.
The contract signed with Xinglintang is at least 1000 pills per day, and at least [-] Xiaoshi pills a year.
People who have orchards at home usually dig cellars under the house to store unsalable fruits so that they can be sold in the coming year.
Li Jin was not worried about the shortage of goods.
In addition, the shopkeeper of Xinglintang would occasionally bring Xiaoshi pills to the county town or other towns and sell them to the medical clinics there.
So, don't worry about slow sales.On the contrary, the more Xiaoshi pills Li Jin can provide, the better.
The owner of the hawthorn garden still remembered Li Jin, and when he heard Li Jin's intentions, he immediately patted his chest and assured that he had enough stock here.
But because the hawthorn was a bit heavy, after one tael of silver and two hundred catties, an extra seventy catties was given away.But the efficacy will not make much difference.
The owner said: "Young man, you are in Hongyan Village. I remember that last month, your village produced No. 1."
Li Jin nodded slightly, "There is news."
"That's really Master Wenquxing descending to earth. I'm going to deliver goods in your village, and I'm also very happy."
Li Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "That No.1 is me."
The owner of the garden was stunned, so this means that the joy has already been touched?
After that, Li Jin worked for a month, making all 270 catties of hawthorn into big hawthorn pills.In this way, seven taels of silver were recorded in the account.
This is because he didn't need to go to Mr. Song's lectures during the day to finish so many hawthorn pills.
But Li Jin didn't waste his studies. He got up early and would review his homework before Si time, and then pick up questions by himself and practice some stereotyped essays.
The calligraphy practice before going to bed at night has never been interrupted. He is sure that he has passed the government examination.
In addition, Qin Muwen will also practice calligraphy with him at night.
Qin Muwen is a little more careful than Li Jin. While practicing calligraphy, he also pays attention to grinding Li Jin's ink, picking out wicks, and changing pen water.Li Jin thoroughly understood the beauty of the word 'red sleeves add fragrance'.
Qin Muwen's eyes sparkled when he saw that his family's savings exceeded ten taels of silver.
He said: "Ah Jin, I actually didn't like writing before. I always felt that writing was boring. But after practicing calligraphy with you, every night is the time I look forward to the most."
Teenagers have always expressed their love so straightforwardly, but Li Jin found the key word: "Evening?"
Qin Muwen understood what Li Jin was talking about in an instant. His waist was still hurting, so he gritted his teeth and accurately timed, "Evening."
Li Jin held him in his arms and said with a smile: "If you don't bully you today, it's time for the government to try and release the rankings tomorrow."
As he spoke, he reached into his obscene clothes and rubbed the boy's waist.
Posting the list without tossing yourself means that there are officials coming to deliver the good news.
Qin Muwen lay on the bed, his eyes widened.In the county examination, only the head of the case can be personally sent by the official to deliver the good news, while in the government examination, only the 'first-class' students can enjoy this treatment.
In other words, his family, Ah Jin, confirmed that he will be ranked first!
Because the magistrate suddenly put down the vermilion pen and clapped his hands!
"Okay, our government has finally produced a candidate with such an excellent answer sheet this year!"
The other examiners who were sitting under the command of the prefect also stood up and bowed their hands to the prefect, "Congratulations, my lord!"
