[Comprehensive] The Giant of the Red Chamber

At the scene of the fourth competition, the remaining 29 contestants are already outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, bow, horse, riding and archery, and they can be called all-around talents.It's just that Daiyu sent someone to inform Nangongyan in advance under the pretext of being frightened that he would no longer participate in this competition and would automatically abstain from the competition, so that he should perform well and not be nervous, so only [-]th place remained in the fourth round.For others, one less person means less competition, and they are naturally happy to see the result. Only Nangong Yan is worried about the health of the little brother.

Unlike the previous three games, the assessment methods were notified in advance, and they were all familiar with the content. The 29 people gathered together, all confused about the upcoming assessment, always felt that it was not as easy as the previous three games, and the rhythm of things was inexplicable.

Soon, the 29 people who felt a little uneasy were led into a large room. Thirty desks and low stools were neatly arranged in the room, and pens, ink, papers and inkstones were placed on the desks.Everyone found their number plates and sat down, only to find that there were questions printed on the paper in front of them. This question was different from the usual dictation method. There were actually four answers. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. This seems to be simpler than dictation should be.I thought it would be an unexpected way, but now it seems that it is still an assessment of knowledge, so I settled down and waited for the examiner to call to start.

"Congratulations, gentlemen, for your successful promotion. A set of test questions is placed in front of you. Please answer according to the options below the questions. There is no standard answer for this set of questions. Please use your first instinct to choose. You can hand in the paper after answering. , proceed to the next item." The examiner finished announcing the rules with a serious face, but in fact, he was also puzzled in his heart.He has read all these topics, not poems and songs, nor classics, meanings and policies.The questions were all kinds of weird and strange, and they were asked for no reason. It was really weird. He had done so many times and the invigilator had never seen such a magical question, and it was the kind with its own answer.The key is that there is no standard answer yet, how to score this, you can't just choose anything, right, so what's the point of the assessment.

It can be said that this topic was personally drafted by the super-class Mrs. Guo, so it is understandable that the future mother-in-law wants to assess the future son-in-law.No wonder being able to be the wife of the country, it turns out that I also have two brushes, not all because of the glory of my husband and sons.The examiner was so curious, he was going to have a relationship with Mr. Lin after the end, to see if he could find out the criteria and purpose of this set of assessment and scoring. He always felt that it would be very useful in some places.If Mr. Lin's way doesn't work, let Madam visit him in person.

Sure enough, it was too early to rest assured, this is the rhythm of doing things, the common aspiration of the 29 present.I know every word, and I can understand every sentence combined, but what is the meaning of such a question, and what is the assessment?There are a total of fifteen questions, all of which are completely irrelevant, and there is no rule to be found.Those who couldn't figure out the key point didn't dare to write and answer casually, for fear of getting three strikes out if they were not careful, they all wanted to quietly wait and see other people's reactions.

Seeing the frowning, contemplative, or wait-and-see gestures of the former favored ones, the examiner, who originally thought that he had little knowledge, lost his mind.It turned out that he was not the only one who found it difficult, and this group of noble young men who boasted of themselves also encountered difficulties.The examiner looks serious and upright, but he is smiling inside. It feels so refreshing to see others make troubles.The lady of this country is indeed as talented and knowledgeable as the rumors outside, but a set of test questions frustrates these aristocratic sons who are usually above the top.The examiner deliberately coughed twice, and everyone dared not make eye contact, and focused on their own test questions.

Nangong Yan was also not immune, but he remembered that in the note written by Little Brother Mu, there was a reminder at the end that although the fourth assessment seemed to be weird everywhere, in fact, there was no need to think too much, just rely on the first feeling. no problem.So Nangong Yan decided to listen to the little brother, and began to use his intuition to write an answer.

Some people have already written, and others dare not delay any longer. Although there is no time limit, it is said that there are other contents.

No matter how much he thought about it, the answers to the [-] questions were quickly selected. After the examiner collected the test papers, he sent someone to the Lin Mansion for Mrs. Lin to review in person.

Questions that the ancients could not figure out are actually the most common psychological tests in modern times.This is the most authoritative test collected by 738. Naturally, I want to evaluate the potential personality structure of these candidates from the side.The rater is not Jiang Yingrong, but 738, which will combine with its own monitoring and evaluation system to give the most comprehensive results.

This move is an option, if there is any change in Nangong Yan, and there are other suitable family members to choose from, Jiang Yingrong personally arranged the test.

Those who handed in the papers first were led to the next place, where the three most skilled imperial physicians of the imperial hospital sat in three separate small rooms.The purpose, of course, is to see if these people have hidden diseases and whether they are healthy, and then record everything in detail.This test made everyone feel a little more at ease, just stretching out a hand to feel the pulse. The official son pays attention to maintenance, and his physical fitness is generally good, but he is not afraid of inspection.

Cutting the pulse, in the end it was a one-on-one interview with several sons of the Lin family in the capital. There were the boss, the third, the fourth, and the fifth. Except for the boss who arranged nine people, the rest had eight each.Everyone knows each other except the eldest and the fourth, who have more activities outside, the third and the fifth belong to the house property, and seldom show up in the expensive circle of the capital.So some of the two waves who were assigned to the third child and the fifth child did not know that this was the future brother-in-law looking for a sister-in-law.

The four people are different, and their natural physiognomy is also slightly different.For example, the boss is torturing economics and life planning, so as to avoid dandies from mixing in; the third has prepared a piano, and asks people to play a piece without saying anything. This is to know people by listening to the piano. At the realm of the third child, one can indeed distinguish one from the other just by the sound of the piano.

Xiaosi is fun, playing chess with others, he knows how much he is, so the rule is that the opponent must lose to him, but he must lose at a level, and he can't just let the water go.

Xiao Wu personally drew a painting for people to comment on. This painting Xiao Wu did not show his true level, and even dug traps in some places on purpose. It depends on the evaluation of the candidates.Whether it is outspokenness or blind flattery, or whether it is true or false, the degree depends on the individual's grasp.

Entering the room where the boss is, just like the household registration under investigation, when was he enlightened when he was a child, when he entered school, what is he doing now, what plans are he for the future, what are his hobbies on weekdays... from time to time, he will take the school exam again, suddenly With the first half of the sentence, the people who asked were almost overwhelmed.

In the room of the third child, there was a quiet atmosphere. As soon as he entered, the third child had a serious face and said only one word: "Play!" He didn't say which piece to play, but let him compose it himself. What a pity. Words are like gold.I chose a piece of music in a daze, and some of them were invited out before they finished playing. They didn't say a word during the whole process, and they didn't have any expressions, which made people feel anxious, whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied.

In Xiaosi's room, everyone was racking their brains to think about how to make the future brother-in-law win without any trace.This is a waste of the old nose, deliberately making a wrong move to let Xiao Si move back to the field, but people can't see it, they can always push themselves to a corner, and they can't save them even if they try hard to rescue them.

In Xiaowu's room, everyone was facing a painting that was either good or bad, and they were careful with their words, trying to be realistic and then work hard to polish and find highlights.Although everyone's general direction is correct, everyone still has a focus and subjective color after all, which still allows Xiao Wu to get a glimpse of everyone's character and character.

Sure enough, the fourth round was not so easy to mess with. After the assessment, everyone shared their thoughts.They were told that three days later, postings would be sent to the top ten families, and Princess Showa would personally select the son-in-law at that time.

In the end, based on appearance, physical condition, psychological test results and four people's evaluation of the candidates, ten candidates were selected.Nangong Yan and the two sons of aristocratic families and generals who were favored by everyone before were impressively listed.

The emperor looked at the list presented, and Nangong Yan's overall score was third.This is probably because the Lin family is somewhat subjective, after all, Nan Gongyan is really not a good son-in-law for the Lin family.Being able to rank third is already taking into account my own intentions and not being too biased.

When sending posts to each family, the emperor played a trick again. He didn't announce the results of each family, but ordered people to send them one by one. Unselected.

Such a simple little trick, although straightforward, is unexpectedly easy to use, Nangong Yan restrained his anxiety,

When the Ninth Family received the post, they finally broke their merits and couldn't help but went to see the emperor.

Nangongyan knew that Emperor Daqi was waiting for him to be anxious first, and the initiative was firmly in the opponent's hands, forcing him to submit.There is only the last spot left, if he doesn't make a decision, if Emperor Daqi gives it to someone else, I'm afraid it will really fall short.After all, the Princess's Husband Selection Office has a huge momentum, and the emperor will not swear that after ten quotas are given, the final choice of son-in-law is not one of the ten.

Thinking of Nanjiang's plan to surrender, he just received a letter from his father and queen mother, which stated that as long as the lives of the people in Nanjiang are not affected, Nangongyan will control all the measures.Nangong Yan no longer forced himself into a desperate situation.

The emperor, the prince, and Nangong Yan spent a day and a night locked in the room, playing games, and finally reached a balance acceptable to both parties.Nangong Yan finally got the tenth post.

Lin Ruhai was naturally the first to receive the news, knowing that there was no room for change, so he had to go back home with heavy steps.The candidate for the son-in-law has to inform Yu'er in advance, and Lin Ruhai can't disobey the holy will at this moment even if he is unwilling.
