Annan Marquis Mansion.
Before daybreak, people throughout the mansion lit lamps to sweep away the dust and ward off evil spirits.
"Han'er, you must take care of your health. Your health is your capital, and only then will you have the strength to take the exam."
Mrs. Hu kept giving instructions and checked off the items to be brought into the tribute hall.
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Rong Shihan said absentmindedly.
For some reason, I've been feeling uneasy these past few days.
Rong Shihan and his family got on a carriage and headed to the Imperial Examination Hall.
Although traffic congestion is inevitable during the Autumn Examination, they leave home early to avoid the peak of the crowds.
But the carriage was blocked by traffic jams after only a quarter of an hour.
"Why are you going out at this hour?" Annan Hou couldn't understand.
Suddenly, he saw a carriage moving forward unimpeded in the alley on the right.
"Follow that drive."
The driver turned the horse around and drove out of the alley into a nearby street.
Seeing that there were only a few people here, everyone was happy.
The next moment, after the carriage that was seen earlier left, carriages and pedestrians continued to pour into the alleys on both sides.
The road ahead was instantly blocked.
…! ! !
"We are so lucky today. The road is very smooth."
Gu Lin pushed aside the curtain and looked back.
Behind them were already densely packed with carriages, horses, and slowly moving people.
And in front of them, there was an open space.
[Of course, the good luck bestowed by the Mother Goddess Tree is very strong.]
The little guy was humming a little tune and shaking his little head.
As Chaoxi hummed softly, Gu Lin and Rong Yubai felt their heads were extremely clear, and the fatigue caused by the intense study in the past few days completely disappeared.
Rong Yubai rested his chin on the little guy's head, closed his eyes, and listened carefully to every note.
"God is blessing us." He said softly.
His little god protects him, his family, and the world.
All the way to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
Only at this moment did the sky begin to turn pale.
There was already a long line at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall.
The two men randomly chose a team and lined up in it. Just after taking two steps, three inspectors were added to the team. The team was divided into three teams, and the two men were placed in the front row.
"Our luck... is too good!" Gu Lin couldn't stop being happy.
He has never had as much luck in his entire life as he has had in the past few days.
"There should be better luck." Rong Yubai said.
really……
As soon as they entered the examination room, they found that their position was the best in the whole place.
The air is well ventilated and not stuffy, and there are several osmanthus trees next to the dormitory.
Rong Shihan, who arrived after many twists and turns, replaced Gu Lin's fortune today.
Assigned to the "stinky number".
It was close to the toilet and in the corner. It was August now, so even if no one was using the toilet, the stench was still there.
Rong Shihan vomited violently before he even sat down.
This place is like hell for those who claim to be exiled immortals.
"Brother Shihan, you..." Meng Fanfei entered the Imperial Examination Hall and the first thing he did was to look for Rong Shihan.
I couldn't find anyone in the good room, so I came over here and saw that he was really there.
"I'll exchange with you. Mine is okay." Meng Fanfei took advantage of the fact that no one was around and exchanged the bamboo strips between the two.
Rong Shihan took his bamboo slip and took a look.
“…”
It’s not much better, it’s the third room away from the toilet.
After all, it's better than being next to the toilet.
"Thank you very much."
…………
“God bless my elder brother and cousin and prevent them from being assigned to the bad numbers.” Rong Yuanyou clasped his hands together.
"No, no, it's my elder brother and my cousin who are the best." Rong Chaoxi said with a smile.
"Let's go back and prepare some more tonics. We will come back to pick up Abai and my cousin in nine days." Rong Xuqing said.
"Why do we need to prepare tonic medicine?" Rong Chaoxi was puzzled.
My eldest brother and cousin are in good health.
"Scientific expeditions are very arduous, day and night." Qin Zhan looked ahead, thinking back to those days. "We had to stay in that small compartment day and night, and we couldn't move around freely. We only ate dry food. Many people didn't dare drink water or eat too much to avoid going to the toilet."
The provincial examination consists of three sessions, each lasting three days and two nights, for a total of nine days and six nights.
You can only leave the examination room after finishing an exam, stretch your body in the examination hall, and then go back the next day to curl up for three days.
This is the first major difficulty in scientific research.
"Brother, aren't you full?" Rong Chaoxi looked at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall thoughtfully.
…
The streets are bustling with people, and the various kinds of prayer items are dazzling to look at.
Small fish, turtles and river lanterns are sold by the moat not far from the Imperial Examination Hall.
Some wealthy families would make donations here in the hope that their children could get into high school.
Therefore, countless beggars gathered near the moat at this time.
"Madam, come here. You can go and rest for a while." A woman took the soup spoon from Qin Nanjing's hand.
Today, several children from Huairong Village came to take part in the provincial examination, so Qin Nanjing gathered everyone together to make donations.
It is also a good opportunity to consume some of the excess food stored during the drought.
During these days, beggars in the city and those who accompanied the candidates to take the exam were able to eat hot meals for a few days.
"No, I'm not tired." Qin Nanjing wanted to go back to work, but was forced to sit down by several aunts.
"With us here, there's no need for you, Madam, to do anything."
"Come, come, come. The General's Mansion is inviting everyone to eat hot rice and meat buns. Beggars line up in the shed on the left, and those accompanying those taking the imperial examinations can go to the shed on the right."
"Everyone line up. Each person will receive two steamed buns, two meat buns, and a bowl of meat porridge. No grabbing or pushing..."
