The Transmigrated Li Jin's Daily Farming Life (Translated With Mtl)

Chapter 136

This answer sheet naturally belongs to Li Jin.

The three main characteristics of Guange Style calligraphy are blackness, squareness, and brightness.

The character '乌' directly translates to 'black'. As the saying goes, light ink hurts the spirit, when the ink is black, it demonstrates its richness in spirit.

However, when Li Jin traveled through time, he didn't systematically learn the Guange style. His current calligraphy skills are the result of years of practice. Therefore, while it is very similar to the Guange Style, there are slight differences.

Pang Lao emphasizes ink divided into five colors in his writing. The first thing he taught Li Jin was that the intensity and dryness of the calligraphy ink must be adjusted according to the changes in the font.

Therefore, when Li Jin writes in the Guange Style, he does not blindly pursue blackness.

Because if every stroke of the character is very dark, it will appear dry and dull, lacking a sense of layering.

It is precisely because Li Jin has practiced a lot that he has a good grasp of the layers. When you open his answer sheet and take a glance, you will be deeply impressed.

The examiner from the Hanlin Academy in charge of transcribing realized that he had misspoken after he finished speaking. He was only responsible for transcribing and did not have the right to grade the papers.

Contrary to him, before all the answer sheets are roughly ranked, the chief examiners who grade the papers are not allowed to casually flip through the candidates' answer sheets.

There are only so many examiners behind the inner curtain. The junior examiners from the Hanlin Academy are responsible for transcribing, while the chief examiners sit in a higher position, drinking tea and supervising them.

As soon as he spoke, the chief examiner's gaze immediately fell on him.

Quiet, no noise.

The official knows his mistake.

For the examiners, as long as they don't cheat, the guards are very relaxed. If the candidates were making noise in the room number, they would definitely pull the person out and put them in the cell first.

As for the examiners, the guards just changed the positions of a few examiners who were responsible for copying, so the answer sheets they were responsible for copying were different, thereby preventing cheating.

Anyway, after they have finished copying, another examiner will check one by one whether the transcription results correspond to the candidates' answer sheets. It's truly rigorous and impartial.

For all the examiners behind the inner curtain, during the nine days of the examination and the twenty days of grading afterwards, they cannot step out of the inner curtain.

Every day, each examiner does nothing but transcribe and grade papers, and takes care of eating and drinking in their own room.

Except for the chief examiners, everyone else, even if they want to take a hot bath, has to find a guard to accommodate them. They are not much better off than the candidates.

This is also to prevent the examiner from contacting the outside world, receiving news, and manipulating the marking process.

For the guards, despite their low status, the emperor has decreed that if a cheating examiner can be caught, the guards can be promoted three ranks. If they assist the examiner in cheating, severe punishment and exile await them.
