The time for cultivation flew by, and it was already evening in the blink of an eye. The mansion test was almost over. Xu Xian stopped practicing and went to the tribute courtyard again.

This time, it is to pick up He Liang.

He Liang didn't know about the fact that he handed in advance. The two of them had made an appointment to leave together after the mansion examination. If they couldn't see Xu Xianren, He Liang would probably have been waiting there.

After Xu Xian arrived outside the Gongyuan, after half of the incense stick, the bell rang for the end of the exam.

The tribute court, which was originally silent, became noisy and noisy in an instant.

"Hanwen, did you come out so early?" He Liang walked out of the gate along the crowd and found Xu Xian at the agreed location.

The fat man had an unconcealed smile on his face. He was in good spirits after three days of the exam. He seemed very excited. He patted Xu Xian on the shoulder and couldn't wait to say, "How is your exam this time? I tell you, I feel that I really want to pass the Tongsheng exam this time! The exam questions this time are particularly worthy of my appetite, and I have predicted them!"

"Then congratulations." Xu Xian said with a smile.

According to He Liang's own real strength, the possibility of passing the imperial examination is very low. If you have good luck, it is not impossible.

"I will definitely pass the exam!" He Liang's chubby face was full of confidence, and he said in a longing: "When I pass the exam, the first thing I do when I return to Qiantang County is to marry Ruiyun!" After saying that, he paused, and asked Xu Xian with his head tilted, "You haven't said how you did the exam yet? Did it go smoothly?"

Suddenly, he felt something was wrong, and he circled around Xu Xian, searched nearby, then raised his head and wondered: "Where is your bookcase?"

"Uh... I'll put it back to the inn first."

Xu Xian said helplessly that he originally planned that He Liang would not ask, but he would not say that he had handed in advance.

Because he knew the personality of his classmate, if he knew, he would have to jump up and down and talk, which would definitely be much more talkative than his brother-in-law Li Gongfu.

Unexpectedly, He Liang discovered the clues when he didn't bring a bookcase.

"Oh, I'm putting it back to the inn..." He Liang nodded casually, but he didn't react for a moment.

After a while, he, who was as round as jade, suddenly jumped three feet tall like a monkey, shouting in Xu Xian's ear: "Have you put it back to the inn? You have already returned to the inn! In other words, you handed in advance and stayed back to the inn for a long time before you came to the Gongyuan to pick me up?"

Xu Xian rubbed his ears, nodded and said lightly: "Yeah..."

"How can you hand in the paper in advance? The questions this time are not difficult. You should take a good exam..." After being really angry and shocked, He Liang began to talk nonstop, and there was a tendency to keep talking.

However, when he saw Xu Xian's helpless look, he was stunned for a moment, and stopped abnormally, and did not say happily how good he had done in the exam.

He thought to himself: If the exam failed, Hanwen must be very uncomfortable, so he should not stimulate him anymore, and he should comfort him.

"Submit the papers in advance and submit the papers in advance. It's no big deal. If you don't pass the exam this time, you'll continue next year..." He Liang comforted.

Xu Xian was surprised that in addition to his inexplicable confidence, this fat man has also learned to comfort people recently.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to Guimanlou for delicious food! I've been hungry and lost weight during the three days of the exam, so I have to make up for it!" He Liang touched his little round belly, changed the topic, and took Xu Xian to have a meal.

After eating, drinking, and returning home with great pleasure.

In the next few days, Xu Xian and He Liang stayed in Hangzhou and did not go back, and quietly waited for the results of the mansion to be released.

The exam has ended, so naturally there is no need to review your homework day and night like the time ago. These days, he has been relaxing. He Liang pulled Xu Xian and took a walk around Hangzhou City.

Xu Xian did not refuse. He did not rush to practice for a while, but the effect would be better if he relaxed and relaxed.

...

...

Inside the court.

In addition to the examination room with a number, the examiners also have the location for the exam to mark the papers.

Thousands of candidates were neatly stacked, and twenty gentlemen reviewed the exams every month. The examination was a challenge for students, and the same was true for these gentlemen who were marking the papers.

It is very stressful to finish thousands of test papers in a few days.

The Dali Dynasty imperial examination papers did not have clear standard answers like those on later generations, and they could not give specific scores.

All test papers are uniformly "shamed" and the candidates' names are covered and sealed. Then, under the supervision of the examiner Xu Zhengqing, the chief examiner, the lottery was drawn and assigned to the marking teacher to strictly prevent anyone from committing favoritism and fraud.

After the marking teacher reads one paper, he writes a comment at the back of the paper. If it is a bad one, give up directly. If he encounters a favorite paper, he will write a reason for recommendation and submit it to the examiner Xu Zhengqing.

This type of test paper is called the 'recommended paper'.

Xu Zhengqing selected the best thirty of the "recommendation volumes" from all the "recommendation volumes" and gave them the quota for the children.

If it were the past office examinations, Xu Zhengqing would not pay much attention to it. He just had to wait for all the reviewers to review the "recommended papers" after they finished reading the papers. However, this time when the reviewers were reviewing the papers, Xu Zhengqing accompanied him almost the whole process. Whenever a reviewer presented a "recommended paper", he would review it immediately.

The reason is naturally for Xu Xian's test paper that can not only stimulate literary spirit like a white rainbow that runs through the sun, compete for glory with the sun, but also quote text energy into the body in the exam room.

It attracted literary energy to the body. It has not happened in the Dali Dynasty imperial examination hall for many years. He couldn't wait to see him as soon as possible.

"Well, this test paper is very good. Both the scriptures and the meaning of the ink are correct, and the viewpoints of the strategy are perfect, without any flaws, remarkable, and they actually have a great style! The quality of this poem is also of high quality, and I am afraid it can be spread all over the world. No wonder, the reviewer directly commented: This document can be listed as the head of the case!"

Xu Zhengqing looked at the test paper in his hand, his eyes lit up a little, and he was extremely satisfied.

For so many years he worked in Hangzhou Prefecture, the level of this test paper was the highest in previous government exams. If it were in the past, this test paper would undoubtedly be listed as the first case.

However, this time, Xu Zhengqing had to put it aside for the time being and did not dare to make a decision immediately.

This test paper is so perfect that he has nothing to say, and he can't find any dissatisfaction.

Moreover, the name of the test paper was blocked, but Xu Zhengqing was actually very familiar with the handwriting on the test paper. This test paper is his proud disciple, Fang Zhongyong's test paper!

Xu Zhengqing put the test paper on his left hand and thought to himself: "Wait a little longer, I want to see how amazing Xu Xian's test paper is, and that it can go there beyond me. If it is not much higher, it is completely reasonable to list this test paper as the first case."

He still has expectations for Xu Xian’s test paper, and he also believes that Xu Xian’s test paper will definitely be amazing.

However, Fang Zhongyong's test paper is really excellent and perfect, so perfect that it is hard to imagine what test papers can surpass.
