The last exam papers have been distributed.
The exams were on classics and poetry. Ji Yu spent a lot of time on classics because among all his subjects, classics was the most difficult.
Compared with other subjects, Jinglun is not only obscure and difficult to understand, but it is also particularly easy to misunderstand its meaning, resulting in the article going off topic.
Therefore, it is particularly important to review the questions. This time, he also spent a long time looking at the questions and only started writing after he was sure that there were no problems.
In comparison, poetry and prose are much simpler, and he didn't spend much effort on the topics of poetry and prose.
In a blink of an eye, another three days have passed. The last exam is finally over.
After handing in the paper, Ji Yu followed the crowd and lined up to walk out of the Imperial Examination Hall.
Outside the Imperial Examination Hall, Wang Shanchuan had been waiting for several days. He called him out and quickly went over to support him.
"Mr. Ji, although you are young, you are really powerful. I have been guarding here for several days. Many people were carried out on the 5th and 6th day because they could not hold on any longer." Wang Shanchuan said as he helped him to the carriage.
"I heard that there was another candidate whose candle fell over while he was sleeping, and all his papers were burned! He was then carried out in a mad state. It was so horrible." Wang Shanchuan shuddered as he spoke.
Ji Yu really didn't have the energy to continue chatting with him. He had no choice but to send him away and said, "Go to the door and pick up the teacher and the others!"
When Wang Shanchuan heard Ji Yu's words, he patted his head and ran out.
Only then could Ji Yu lie quietly in the carriage and rest for a while.
After a while, Wang Shanchuan carried Master Lin on his back, while Lin Yunxiao helped Shen Wenyu to the carriage.
"Master, what is this?" Ji Yu asked.
"We got the stinky number next to the toilet. It was only because my father had taken the exam for many years that he was able to endure it." Lin Yunxiao explained.
After they got on the bus, they didn't talk anymore and tacitly didn't discuss the topic.
After they arrived at the inn, Master Lin rested in bed for three days before he felt better.
Ji Yu also had a trauma from the college entrance examination. Wang Shanchuan had called him. He was still very weak when he came out, and he said he would make porridge for him. He would vomit when he mentioned porridge, so he finally ate some porridge and eggs.
Originally, they only planned to stay in the inn until the third day after the exam, but the teacher was ill and they were afraid of passing on his illness to others if they went to Li's house.
After the exam, the boss lowered the room rate to five taels per night, so they decided to continue staying at the inn.
After Ji Yu's health improved, Lin Yunxiao took him and Shen Wenyu to go for a stroll in the capital together.
The three of them came to a restaurant and ordered several dishes.
"Have you two heard about this? Two of the candidates from our hometown cheated in the exam and were directly stripped of their titles and kicked out. I heard that their property will also be confiscated!" Shen Wenyu said mysteriously.
"I don't know!" Ji Yu had been resting peacefully in the past few days and didn't ask about it. But he had guessed that it was most likely He Daqian and Wen Lixiang.
"I know, I know." Lin Yunxiao immediately took over the conversation: "I heard that he smuggled a note before the exam and was found by the soldiers. He was our classmate! It's really shameful."
Lin Yunxiao was filled with righteous indignation. Indeed, if cheating could help one pass the imperial examination, then what would those of them who had studied hard for decades be? !
"Luckily he was caught, otherwise it would be too unfair to us." Shen Wenyu also said, and asked impatiently, "Tell me who it is?"
"It's He Daqian and Wen Lixiang! Do you know them?" Lin Yunxiao said and looked at them again.
Shen Wenyu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know them. He didn't usually interact with people in the academy, and he was not familiar with most of them.
Ji Yu also shook his head and pretended that he had no impression of these two people.
"They are Zhao Xiuyong's two little followers." Lin Yunxiao explained again.
"Oh!" Ji Yu said meaningfully, indicating that he remembered it, and then asked, "Then Brother Zhao was not affected at all, right?"
"I get angry when you mention him. What an ungrateful villain." Lin Yunxiao said angrily.
"What's the matter? Tell me about it." Ji Yu asked quickly. After all, he had to find out everything about the male protagonist.
"Didn't I go to a few gatherings a few days ago? All the people who came were my classmates in Lin'an. I heard that Zhao Xiuyong hooked up with a fifth-rank official, who promised him that if he passed the exam this time, he would give him his daughter." Lin Yunxiao became angrier and angrier the more he talked about it. He really looked down on people like Zhao Xiuyong.
"Why? Isn't Brother Zhao already engaged?" Shen Wenyu asked. After all, the whole city of Lin'an knew that he was engaged! His father-in-law paid for his studies.
"It's because He Daqian and the other man were arrested." Lin Yunxiao said casually.
"What does this have to do with them?" Ji Yu became more and more confused the more he listened.
"You all know that He Daqian's family is rich, right?" Lin Yunxiao asked.
The two of them nodded quickly.
Lin Yunxiao went on to say, "Zhao Xiuyong and He Daqian are used to spending money lavishly. Before, He Daqian and his friends paid for everything for him. But because the two of them were arrested, he lost his source of income, so he hooked up with this fifth-rank official."
"But if he goes to Beijing to take the exam, the Gu family should pay for it!" Ji Yu asked puzzledly.
For example, Ji Yu was not a son-in-law, but only a brother-in-law. When he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, his brother-in-law gave him 200 taels, Lu's father also gave him 100 taels, and his sister secretly gave him 300 taels. If he spent frugally, this money would definitely be enough!
"The key is that he spends money lavishly. He spent all his money before the exam, and after the exam he didn't even have a place to live." Lin Yunxiao continued.
No one spoke. It was not something they could decide.
After the three of them finished their meal, they wandered around the capital for a while and accidentally walked into a casino.
"Get out!"
Neither Ji Yu nor Shen Wen could pull Lin Yunxiao away alone.
"No. Now that we're here, we must see it for ourselves." Lin Yunxiao said as he pushed the two people inside.
"Don't you want to see what gambling is like recently?" Lin Yunxiao said as he ran inside.
Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to follow him inside.
