——
The first day of the imperial examination.
Chi Yan looked at the exam papers that had been handed out, and his expression gradually became serious.
He had only glanced at the exam paper that day, but he still remembered some of the questions and actually got them right!
Could it be that someone deliberately leaked the exam questions?
That would be blatant cheating in the imperial examinations, and once discovered, it would have far-reaching consequences!
Chi Yan was inevitably emotionally turbulent. He had prepared for so long, and if his results were invalidated because of this, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?
Never mind, we've come this far, let's just take the exam first.
Chi Yan forced herself to calm down and began to answer the questions seriously.
Some people, upon seeing the exam paper, revealed a hidden joy in their eyes, unable to suppress their excitement.
Everyone was writing furiously, and the examination room was unusually quiet.
The chief examiner, surnamed Zhu, was from the Hanlin Academy. He was inspecting the area when he saw Chi Yan engrossed in answering the questions and was taken aback.
He looked at it several times, confirming that it was indeed Chi Yan, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
The Second Young Master Chi's reputation is well-known, not to mention his experience of failing the exam three times, making him a highly respected figure among the examiners!
In fact, many academies would even single him out as a teaching material when teaching their students.
Of course, it's a negative example.
During the first exam, Chi Yan was caught by the examiners openly sleeping during the exam.
The examiner was so angry that his beard bristled and he wanted nothing more than to kick him out on the spot!
But he neither cheated nor disrupted the examination room, so the examiners couldn't do anything about it.
The second time he took the exam, he didn't sleep, but he drew turtles on the exam paper!
When you ask him why he drew a turtle, he confidently replies, "I don't know the answer to this question, so I can't just leave it blank, can I?"
The examiner nearly choked on his breath when he saw the turtle that took up half the page.
So you drew a turtle because you couldn't leave it blank?!
Couldn't you just scribble a few words?
In the third exam, Chi Yan answered the questions honestly, but he happened to have an upset stomach those few days, and he kept urinating and farting uncontrollably. The candidates around him were in great pain and strongly requested to change seats!
Finally, left with no other choice, the examiners had to "invite" Chi Yan out of the examination room.
Recalling this scene, the examiner's face was filled with pain.
God knows how shocked Examiner Zhu was when he saw Chi Yan answering the questions so seriously!
To make sure it wasn't just his imagination, he took a few steps forward and glanced nervously at the exam paper, afraid he might see another huge turtle.
Unexpectedly, what came into view were neat lines of writing, and Examiner Zhu was stunned.
It's really surprising that Chi Yan can write calligraphy so well.
His handwriting used to be so bad that the examiners could recognize it at a glance, and reading his exam papers was a real torment for them!
Examiner Zhu glanced at the exam paper, then at Chi Yan, and was filled with astonishment.
Everyone says that Chi Yan has become much more mature after getting married, and he thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that the rumors are true.
However, he dared not let his guard down. After all, it was only the first day, and nothing could be seen yet. Who could guarantee that this ancestor wouldn't come up with some new tricks in a few days?
Chi Yan had no time to consider the examiner's feelings; his wrist ached from writing, and he was filled with regret.
I wish I had studied humanities!
So many words, are you trying to exhaust someone?
