I took the imperial examination in the red building

Chapter 107

Outside the No. [-] room, several officials from the Ministry of Rites and people from the Imperial College were sitting in the room drinking tea.

Several junior officials said: "I don't know how many children will be born this time."

Tang Huai said: "Not necessarily, this time the paper was written by the servant himself, it is quite difficult."

The servant of the Ministry of Rites is a bit sluggish. Hearing that these students bet, he became interested in it for a while, and said that he wanted to produce the papers himself. Although the papers he produced were still within the range of the children's test, they were already within the limit range. Compared with previous years' papers, it was much more difficult.

In the end, Tang Huai couldn't stand it anymore, so he forced him to correct one or two questions, so that it would be easier, so as not to get too many people stuck.

The waiter was still a little dissatisfied, saying that even a three-year-old child could pass the test, Tang Huai spit it back.

Even if he called a few scholars, he might not be able to answer a few!

At any rate, the test papers had already been sent out, and the students had already started to take the test, so Tang Huai didn't bother to find fault.

The few officials from the Ministry of Rites sat drinking tea and didn't say anything. They didn't dare to criticize Shangguan.

Still Shen Juan came out to smooth things over: "Do you want to go to the number room?"

Originally, during the normal imperial examinations, gentlemen like them who still bring students should not go in, but that is also the rule when it comes to the government and college exams. It is just a small county exam at the moment, so it doesn't hurt to go in and have a look.

The rest of the Ministry of Rites were busy with the funeral of Yizhong Lao Qiansui, and most of the county examinations were made by people from the Guozijian and the county government in Beijing.

Everyone went to the number room.

Just entered, everyone shivered.

A small official wondered: "Why is it so cold in this room?"

He glanced out the window, although it is slightly colder in March, the sun is already out outside, it won't be so cold after a little heat, right?

Tang Huai also frowned, but he didn't speak, and still led people to patrol.

Although the outside of the number room is locked, it is not impossible to see the inside at all. The students sitting are not as high as the door panels, but those who are standing can see them.

Many people inside were exhaling and rubbing their hands, blowing white mist out of their mouths.

Shen Juan asked: "Who is responsible for the renovation of the number room this year?"

The little official bowed his head: "In the past, it was handed over to the Ministry of Industry to be responsible, and the repairs have their own previously established regulations."

Shen Juan took two steps forward without saying a word, and immediately saw Lin Huan sitting in the upper room by the door.

When other people take the exam, they are afraid that the invigilator will see it as unsightly. Even if they are shivering from the cold, they will not shy away. Like a ball, stretch out your hand from the gap to hold the brush and write.

Shen Juan felt that if he didn't feel that he couldn't hold a pen and see the paper when he was wrapped up on the top of his head, maybe he would have covered his head.

He could figure it out, and if he was asked later, Lin Huan would definitely turn his head up and say something, most likely it would be something like "the inside is more important than the face" and "why do you care about other people's eyes if you can cover it up".

I don't know where I learned the fallacies from.

With a smile in the corner of his eyes, he still turned his head and said to Tang Huai: "Since they are too cold, it's not easy to write in this weather, and the papers are difficult in the first place. Why don't you burn two fires for them to warm them up?"

Tang Huai thought for a while and said, "That's fine, but they won't be able to test them anymore. Hmph, I wanted to make them suffer."

Shen Juan lowered his eyes: "The Ministry of Industry works like this, it may not be because of that bet."

Tang Huai snorted coldly: "Could it be for a bet? Their Ministry of Industry is full of idlers. Didn't your uncle go to the Ministry of Industry? Why don't you want to rectify it and let them mess around like this."

Shen Juan said: "Uncle just got angry last year because of the money on the river embankment. The officials of the Ministry of Industry were a little nervous. These days, they are busy repairing the mausoleum, so they are slacking off here. I will talk to uncle later."

The yamen servants inside immediately brought the stoves to prevent fire, and covered them with copper covers, two in each room. After a while, the heat came up.

Lin Huan broke out in a fine sweat as he wrote.

He pulled the blanket off his body and breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced outside, and could only see the tall door panel, with a little sunlight filtering down from the top.

Could it be that the sun is out?

At this time, he missed the live broadcast room a little bit. If it was normal, the people in the live broadcast room would have been able to say why.

But he just thought about it.

If he opened the live broadcast room, he would pass the exam later, and the black fans in the live broadcast room might say that he peeked at other people's answers.

It was planted in the melon field, even if he wanted to say it, he couldn't explain it clearly.

It's better to just turn it off, he can feel at ease in the exam, and the fans in the live broadcast room can stand up and talk.

"Ahh-!"

He still sneezed and sighed, guessing that he really had a cold.

He is still in poor health, and he will have to exercise more with Brother Juan in the future. In order to read books these days, he has saved the time for exercising every day, but he just caught a cold all of a sudden.

Putting aside his thoughts, he concentrated on answering the question.

Except for the first question which was a bit simple, the rest of the questions looked quite difficult. He was a little uncertain, but he still felt that he had to do his best.

After answering the questions in the middle of the night, after burning two candles, he breathed a sigh of relief and stretched himself.

He had used his brain too much just now, and after he stopped, he realized that his head was dizzy, and he felt a dull pain.

It should be the strength of a cold that is about to come up.

After thinking about it, he still took out a pill and ate one. It was only the first day, and there were still four days left, so he couldn't just lay down here.

After taking the medicine, the strength of the medicine came up, just as he finished writing, he simply fell asleep, the charcoal fire in the room was beeping, fortunately, it was not too cold, so he put away all the papers , covered the blanket completely from the top of the head down, and took a deep breath.

My head hurts a bit, but it's bearable.

Just when Lin Huan thought he was about to fall into a drowsy sleep, a snoring sound resounded throughout the room from an unknown number outside.

Lin Huan was a light sleeper and woke up suddenly.

"..."

He has a big head.

Why didn't I think of it?

With so many people crammed into one room for the exam, everyone has different sleeping problems.

Those roommates in his school dormitory don't snore and grind their teeth.

Except for these people and Brother Juan, he had never slept in the same room with anyone else, so he had no idea that there were people who could snore so loudly.

He felt it for a while, only to feel that the thin door panels were rumbling.

And there was more than one person snoring in room number.

Everyone else is going to be numb.

Originally, he was not clear after taking the medicine, and he was terribly sleepy, but now he couldn't sleep at all. The continuous snoring outside made him think he had encountered an animal scene.

Lin Huan's head hurt more and more.

During the exam, people only gave out three candles. He just stayed up late writing papers and already used up two. Now he can’t continue writing papers, but he can’t sleep if he wants to sleep. Don’t sleep, just do it until tomorrow He must be sleepy when he wakes up in the morning. If he is so sleepy that he dozes off, how can he answer this paper?

Lin Huan's head grew bigger.

In the end, of course, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to sleep.

Fortunately, he had a cold and a cold, and was really sleepy, so he fell asleep like this, and managed to sleep for a while, but his dream was full of the loud snoring and snoring, as if a beast was raging barking.

When he got up the next day, Lin Huan was so sleepy that he barely managed to finish the paper.

I feel a little bit regretful in my heart - I knew it earlier, he just listened to the live broadcast room and brought in earplugs!

Fortunately, the draft of the paper was written yesterday, so it won't be impossible to answer, it's just that word, it may be a little bit erratic.

Lin Huan felt a little guilty.

After the exam, they were released.

Lin Huan dragged his exhausted body out of the examination room, only thinking that he might have to sleep for two days and two nights before he could wake up.

The next game will start tomorrow morning, and today he can go back to sleep.

Compared to him who was drowsy, Han Qi and Feng Ziying were not much better.

A group of fellow sufferers greeted each other feebly.

Han Qi said: "To be honest, I haven't studied hard in the half a year since I entered the Imperial College. When I got the test paper, I could answer a few sentences except for the first few questions, but I was really confused afterward."

Feng Ziying complained: "Don't say it, who is not? I almost got the test and came out on the spot."

The two of them are typically ignorant, of course, this ignorance is limited to reading, and their minds are full of riding and shooting.

Wei Ruolan and Xie Jing were slightly better, but they both looked disheveled. Wei Ruolan said: "This imperial examination is really not for human beings. It's okay if the questions are difficult. Why is the environment inside so simple! I have never slept like this before. Small bed, no, there isn't even a bed here, I tried to sleep on a bench and I rolled off in the middle of the night, almost knocking me out of my head!"

Xie Jing also has nothing to love: "I always feel that I can't escape this round of running around. I overslept last night and usually have a servant to wake me up, but it didn't happen today. I haven't formed a habit yet. , When I woke up, it was already dawn, and I managed to finish the test paper."

They looked at each other, looked at Liu Fang and Lin Huan who had been silent all this time: "How are you two doing?"

Liu Fang also shook her head.

He has been studying longer than all of them, and he is also the oldest. It stands to reason that he answered the test papers well.

In the end, he said: "I wanted to sleep last night, but I didn't know what happened. There were too many people snoring in the room, so I couldn't fall asleep because of the noise."

After hearing this, Lin Huan said, "I'm afraid you didn't take the exam with me? We should be in the same room, right? I was disturbed last night and couldn't sleep well. I almost didn't wake up this morning."

The six sighed in unison.

They can't run away from this bet?

However, Lin Huan added: "Didn't our previous bet say that only those who haven't finished writing the test papers have to run around?"

Han Qi rolled his eyes: "I haven't finished writing anyway."

Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan and the other two silently stood together with Han Qi.

Only Lin Huan was left dumbfounded: "You didn't finish all the answers, did you?"

Han Qi complained: "Brother, you can't sleep well, how did you finish the test paper?"

Lin Huan said: "I write fast...and I finished the draft in the daytime before going to bed. Although I got up late the next day, I still copied the test paper."

Although the words may not be as good as he usually writes.

However, Lin Huan felt that with yesterday's situation, he was considered good enough to answer the paper well, and he will definitely do it next time!

The other five people all had hideous faces: "You have this idea and you didn't tell us!"

Lin Huan scratched his head: "I thought you knew? You didn't even ask me."

Han Qi thought about it for a while, and said, "Forget it, even if I know, it's useless. I write too slowly, so I definitely won't have time to write."

The others also stopped talking.

After today's exam, you still have to prepare for tomorrow's exam. Lin Huan confessed: "By the way, don't ask for any answers today? Don't be affected by other people's exams."

This is what the person in the live broadcast room told him.

There are always some bullies who finish the exam and say that they didn't do well in the exam, and they frantically correct the answers, which affects the mood of others, but they turn around and get the first place.

So angry.

Lin Huan is not like this!

He was going to go back to sleep and sleep until tomorrow morning. When tomorrow starts, he will try to finish answering the test papers in the morning, so that he won't be disturbed in the middle of the night so that he can't sleep, and he will hurry up the next day.

He touched his head, feeling sorry for his friends: "Anyway, you haven't finished answering the papers, so you should just relax later, just come to experience life, adjust your habits, and find out if there is any way to relieve it ? You must pass the exam next time, and you can still take the exam next year."

The others had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Just like that, Lin Huan adjusted his state. In the remaining four days, he wrote the papers as soon as possible during the day, and spent an extra candle to copy the papers at night. In a hurry.

Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and Lin Huan was suffering from a cold because he had not recovered from his cold. On the last day, he was almost exhausted and carried into the carriage.

The live studio felt extremely distressed.

[Yinqiao Pian: Huanbao is so pitiful, the imperial examination is really difficult! 】

[I don’t agree with each other: The main reason is that my spirit is also very tense. Anyway, when I took the exam back then, I felt that my head was empty, and there were only test papers in my eyes, and the answers to the papers were all subconscious behaviors. 】

[Speechless: The main reason is that Huanbao is still taking the imperial examination for the first time, and he is not used to it. Let's find a way to change it for him. 】

[Jin Jin doesn't care: You can set up a mock exam room!Huanbao has been in there once, and we can imagine what kind of situation he might encounter. Why don't we just prepare him for a surprise attack, simulate various possible situations, and let him try it out? 】

Lin Huan almost fainted, and was shocked when he saw this barrage: "I seriously suspect that you are black fans!!!"

He had just come out of the examination room, and before people could react, they were thinking of locking him back into the examination room? ? ?

The author has something to say: Aunt QAQ is here.

Chatting with my friends today, they said they wanted to see Crazy Criticism, and then my mind was full of imperial examinations. I don’t know why, but after Fan Jinzhongju came to my mind... it can barely be considered Crazy Criticism.
