Chapter 110 College Examination

Only students with advanced degrees can take part in the academy examination.

As long as you pass the exam, you will be a scholar.

During this period, many candidates from various states gathered in the city, and almost all inns, big and small, were full.

Business of all major teahouses, restaurants, and even brothels has improved a lot.

Some students often get together to discuss poetry and classics. During the day, they would go to teahouses or chess and music halls, and at night they would go to brothels to drink and have fun.

The name of the event is a gathering of literati.

There are many people who do shady things behind the scenes.

There are always some students with outstanding literary talent who are in the limelight on the eve of the exam, but in the end they miss the exam for one reason or another.

This year is no exception.

The next day, news broke that someone was selling test questions and cheating a lot of money, including more than a dozen students who were deceived.

It was later confirmed that the test papers were fake, but the students who bought the test papers were disqualified from taking the exam this year by the provincial education commissioner, who said in public: "Academics and theories all originate from the heart. If the heart is not right, everything will be evil."

Two of the candidates were the hot candidates competing for the top three places, and after receiving this comment from the academician, their future was almost ruined.

The news spread quickly.

The news reached the ears of Le Yan and Meng Qingrui, and the two of them were grateful for a long time.

Someone had secretly sold the test questions to them at the beginning.

The two didn't understand at the time.

Looking back now, I now understand what happened.

On the eve of the college entrance examination.

The three of them heard some news one after another.

For example, a talented scholar ate a free meal at a brothel, was stripped naked and thrown out, and was caught by an old and conservative teacher who cursed him for being disrespectful. There was also someone who was sick and could not take an exam, or someone who broke his leg in an accident, etc.

The two of them were still frightened after hearing this.

He came to Qin Chi, wiped his sweat, and felt very relieved.

Qin Chi looked at the two of them unhappily, "If you want others to plot against you, you have to have the ability. What are you two worrying about? You will just be a gimmick if you go out."

Meng Qingrui and Le Yan sobbed after hearing this.

The teacher who just came over couldn't help laughing after hearing this, "That's right, those who can make people bother to calculate are all talented and have good literary talent."

For example, the case of selling fake test questions.

It is very likely that someone set a trap to specifically trick the two students who are recognized to have good knowledge, and the others are just extras, one by one.

According to Master Jing.

Meng Qingrui and Le Yan understood and looked at Qin Chi with envy.

Meng Qingrui chuckled and said, "Qian, why doesn't anyone come to plot against you?"

Qin Chi looked at him with a smile.

Le Yan answered for Qin Chi, "That requires him to go out. How can we plot if we can't even see him?"

"The servants in this courtyard are all trustworthy." The teacher reminded again.

Qin Chi is a student that Tachwan Academy focuses on.

Principal Lu Shan hopes that Qin Chi will win the first place in the academy this year, so that Tachuan Academy can become famous in the provincial government.

The reputation of the academy has declined in recent years.

Every three years someone would pass the imperial examination, but no one would ever win first place.

Therefore, the teacher who led the team was most concerned about Qin Chi and had already instructed the servants in the courtyard not to let anyone take advantage of him.

The leader of the team came here this time because he was worried that Qin Chi would be influenced by the outside world, and he came to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Le Yan and Meng Qingrui happened to be there too, so they said a few more words of encouragement.

Wait for the Master to leave.

Le Yan poked Meng Qingrui next to him and whispered, "Look at Qi'an. He looks a little absent-minded."

"I guess he's missing his wife."

Meng Qingrui probably knew Qin Chi, and there weren't many things that could affect him. "You don't know, he's going to be a father soon."

"That's to congratulate Qi'an."

Le Yan looked at Qin Chi with envy.

The two of them spoke in low voices, but how loud is this place?

Qin Chi naturally heard the conversation between the two. Needless to say, he was just wondering who would make such a big plan. Now, when he heard the two mentioned being a father, he really missed Song Jin a little.

According to the date, Song Jin is about to give birth.

Giving birth to a child has always been like walking through the gates of hell for a woman. It would be a lie for Qin Chi to say that she was not worried.

As a husband, he should have been by her side, but unfortunately his timing was not right, so he could only wait until the entrance examination was over before rushing back.

Hope to catch up.

The next day.

The first quarter of the Mao hour.

There were several long queues outside the government office.

It stretched for several miles.

These are the students accumulated over the years from more than a dozen states. You can imagine how large their number is.

Standing next to Qin Chi were Meng Qingrui and Le Yan, as well as other candidates from Tachuan Academy.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Under the arrangement of the team leader, we came to the back of a team.

There are no shortcuts.

Everyone is queuing up like this, and now they are just entering the examination room first.

There is not much difference between the procedures of the academy examination and the provincial examination.

Only the top candidates did not have to sit in the hall according to their numbers. They were all dispersed and divided into different examination rooms. As for the seat numbers, they were drawn in advance, and the specific location could only be known after people entered and found them.

"I hope it's not the stinky one."

Meng Qingrui muttered to the number, "It's not a stinky number, it's not a stinky number..."

Le Yan thought about it and became nervous as well. "Don't keep nagging me. You're making me nervous. My luck has always been bad. I got a bad grade in the last provincial exam."

"Then you shouldn't be that person this time." Meng Qingrui said firmly.

Le Yan straightened his back and asked, "What do you think about this?"

"It's a matter of probability. There are very few people who get bad numbers repeatedly. If you got it last time, there's an 80% chance that you won't get it this time. You have to be very unlucky to get it repeatedly."

Meng Qingrui's statement was fresh and successfully put Le Yan at ease.

Meng Qingrui then looked at Qin Chi and said, "The person most likely to draw a bad number is Qi'an. He didn't get one in the county or prefectural exams before."

"Oh, thank you for your reminder."

Qin Chi really wanted to say that this guy was always capable and made him itchy to hit someone.

For candidates, drawing a bad number is a disaster.

In the next few days, I will have to smell the stench coming from the toilet all the time. You can imagine how my mood will be, which will affect my test results to some extent.

After going through layers of screening, you can enter.

Qin Chi looked at the seat number in his hand and walked south.

The examination rooms were opposite each other, and the corridor was narrow, only wide enough for two adults to walk side by side.

When he found his room, Qin Chi's expression finally changed for a moment.

About ten feet away from the cell, there were two toilets facing each other.

The exam hadn't started yet, and the toilets hadn't smelled bad yet. But Qin Chi could imagine how the next few days would go.

But there is nothing we can do about this.

I can't go back and tell the academician that I want to change my room number! He might even be disqualified from taking the exam, not to mention taking it.

You can only hold your nose and think that you have bad luck.

Qin Chi entered the room.

The examination room was only three feet wide and four feet high. If one entered the room, one had to bend over in order not to hit his head. Moreover, the examination tables and stools were covered with dust.

Qin Chi simply cleaned up the mess himself.

When he finished cleaning up, he turned around and looked at the room opposite. He was stunned and felt a little amused.

"Why is it you? It seems that Qingrui's probability is not right." Qin Chi joked with a smile.

Le Yan had a sad face, "When this man gets into trouble, I'm afraid of him myself."

"Hahaha……"
