The beloved baby has a space

Inside the examination hall, some were happy, while others were sad. As the candidates entered one by one, they had a fifteen-minute break to prepare, during which some would take the opportunity to whisper to those around them.

But this is not actually allowed.

Lu Shusheng was also among the candidates. He had previously caused trouble for Ayu and Qin Huai, and had to pay ten taels of silver in compensation. His health had not yet fully recovered.

His family originally wanted him to take the exam again next time, but he refused.

He was determined to pass the imperial examination with flying colors, and then he would go find that arrogant student and make him feel ashamed!
Just as he was thinking, Lu Shusheng suddenly felt that there was a person in the examination room next to him who looked very familiar. When he looked, who else could it be but the arrogant student from before?
"It's you!" Lu Shusheng couldn't help but raise his voice.

An examiner carrying a sword walked by, drew his sword, and instantly it gleamed coldly.

"What are you doing! No noise allowed in the examination room!" The invigilator looked sternly at Lu Shusheng, not caring about his family background or status, and asked his name, saying only, "If there is a next time, you will be expelled from the examination room!"

Lu Shusheng was filled with resentment and wanted to cause trouble for Qin Huai, but in the end, he had to leave in a huff because the proctor was present.

He really wasn't a good student; he even got the proctor's attention because of him.

The other students also came to look when they heard the noise, and they all laughed to themselves.

Those who can get into this exam room are no fools, but to behave like this is simply despicable.

Whether their mindset is affected or not, they will have one less competitor.

After the provincial examination, each prefecture will select the successful candidates to take the imperial examination.

There are only 200 places available in the entire Dachang area, and admission is based on a score system, with the best candidates selected.

This means that if there are not 200 people within the specified score, then we'll count as many as there are.

We will never allow low-scoring individuals to be added to the player count.

Therefore, they cannot concern themselves with others; they can only strive to excel themselves first.

Before that, someone fell down on their own, which was certainly not a bad thing.

Qin Huai ignored the commotion and simply took out the partition and put it away, then took out the huge food box.

The imperial examination system of Dachang was established only in the previous dynasty and differed from that of the neighboring Xifeng Kingdom. For example, after the Juren examination in Xifeng Kingdom, there would be the Gongshi examination, and a year later, the Jinshi examination would be held, after which candidates would be directly selected for the palace examination.

The imperial examination for scholars in Xifeng Kingdom lasts for three days, and all aspects of life, including eating, drinking, and relieving oneself, are included in the examination.

Dachang used to offer 8 days, but it was later changed to 6 days.

For six days, no one, including examiners and invigilators, was allowed to leave the examination room, even if someone suddenly fell ill or the entire examination room was surrounded by fire.

Because of the frequent cases of students fainting on the fifth day during the previous imperial examination, many officials in charge of examinations reported this to the court. As a result, a new rule was added: the examination would last for six days, but on the morning of the fourth day, students could choose to give up the examination, and their families could prepare food for them to check on.

The exam questions for the fourth to sixth days were all changed from written exams to a combination of written and military exams, including the Six Arts of a Gentleman.

All the military officers who were supervising the exams would be in the exam hall the whole time. The soldiers would be responsible for patrolling and guarding for the first three days, and for supervising the exams for the last three days. Additional personnel would be assigned to guard the halls.

This also greatly reduces the possibility of cheating in scientific research examinations.

All the food submitted had to be inspected by three departments: the local government, the examiners, and the imperial envoy. The examiners were all from other places, and the imperial envoy was a group of famous and upright people, not selected from aristocratic families.

Qin Huai's food box contained various things that didn't have much of a fragrance.

The most precious thing was the large gourd that Ayu gave him. Other candidates also had such gourds, and they were all filled with water.

The water also needs to be checked repeatedly.

For the first three days, this water also served as a cleaning agent.

"clang--"

The gong was struck.

"Candidates, please take your positions. The exam questions will be distributed after one incense stick has burned!"

Qin Huai put the magic gourd in his bosom and waited for the examiner to distribute the writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.
