The official below asked, "Sir, what brings Governor Fang here?"
Magistrate Zhou understood what was going on, but couldn't say it out loud, as that wouldn't upset Governor Fang. "Don't worry. Just remember what Governor Fang said and select the right people carefully. Don't miss any of them."
The officials below nodded repeatedly in response.
Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, many parents who had come to see their children off to take the exam had not yet left and were waiting at the entrance. When Bei Yutang heard the thunder drums from inside, he turned and left, intending to return to pick up the little one in three days.
Dai Xiang saw her coming back and asked hurriedly, "Sister Mu, is everything going well for the young master?"
"smoothly."
Dai Xiang said with hope, "With the young master's talent, he will definitely pass the examination."
"Perhaps."
Bei Yutang didn't insist on the results. Passing the exam was a good thing, but if he didn't, he could just try again next time. She never put too much pressure on the little guy. He was so sensible that she didn't need to worry about him at all. In fact, sometimes she couldn't help but ask him to put down his books and rest more.
Imperial Examination Hall
Xiao Zimo finished writing the paper, checked it to make sure there were no mistakes, then put away his pen, ink, paper and inkstone, sorted the paper and put it aside, waiting for the yamen runner to agree to collect the papers.
The young man in gorgeous clothes opposite him put down his pen, raised his head and stretched his waist, and saw that the little guy opposite him had finished faster than him. Surprise flashed in his eyes again.
How can this little guy move so fast? I wonder how his answers will go, and whether he will be as fast as him and get the first place.
When the sun sets in the west, the sound of thunder drums begins.
"Collect the scroll."
The yamen runners came one by one to collect the papers. No matter whether you had finished writing or not, you had to put down your pen, otherwise your score would be invalid.
In the following time, Xiao Zimo took the small pot and went to the water source to wash the rice, and then started to make a fire and cook porridge with the small stove prepared by his mother. After half an hour, the porridge was thick.
He poured the porridge into a bowl, took out the pickled radish made by his mother and slowly ate it with the porridge.
The young man in gorgeous clothes opposite smelled the fragrance coming from the other side, and then looked at him eating with relish, while he could only eat bland dry buns, and swallowed unconsciously.
Xiao Zimo felt the burning gaze of the person opposite him, and when he looked up, he saw a pair of eyes glowing green.
He wanted to give him a bowl, but it was during the exam period and they were not allowed to whisper even during breaks, let alone give their things to others. If they were discovered, both of them would be expelled.
The young man in fancy clothes looked at him while swallowing the dry steamed bun with resentment.
In reality, most people brought three days' worth of dry food, and only the older scholars would bring their own rice to cook. After eating, Xiao Zimo did horse stance in his small quarters. Due to the limited space, this was the only way to train.
The young man in fancy clothes had nothing to do, so he silently observed the child opposite him. The more he watched, the more interesting he found it.
After training, Xiao Moer made his bed, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
The young man in fancy clothes opposite him saw him fall asleep and fell asleep too.
The next morning, Xiao Moer woke up early. When he went out to get up for the night, he could see the yamen guards yawning and watching over him boredly. When they saw him fetching water to wash up, they all looked at him in surprise.
Xiao Zimo calmly washed up, then began to wash the rice and prepare to cook porridge. He cooked the porridge now, and the exam would start just after he finished eating.
Xiao Zimo has already calculated the time.

P.S. I feel so worthless. Just when I wrote about eating steamed buns, white steamed buns popped into my mind. I suddenly wanted to eat them, so I rushed to Taobao to see if I could buy them...
Embarrassing, how can I eat so well!
