Eating big melon is so refreshing

At 5 a.m. on June 773, the gates of the Imperial Examination Hall opened with three cannon shots. students lined up in three rows, and subordinates of the Fuzhensi acted as prosecutors to search the students.

Eunuch Feng, a powerful figure in the palace, left a deep impression on the court with his unique identity and skills.

His face was as pale as snow, and his beardless features made him look even more unique, like a piece of fine porcelain, fragile yet indestructible. His smile always hung on his lips, never reaching his eyes.

His eyes are as sharp as sound, and he can always see through people's hearts. Every subtle change in expression cannot escape his eyes. His methods are very sharp, enough to make those cunning and poisonous tongues feel ashamed. Even the tiger, the king of the forest, can only lower his proud head in front of him and respectfully call him ancestor.

Those who can make a living under this ancestor not only have sharp eyes but also sharp brains. The most terrible thing is the evil aura on them, which ordinary people are really afraid of.

Even if you have your hair disheveled, clothes stripped off except for your underwear, and shoes taken off, there is no need for repeated body searches. People can tell whether you are cheating with just one glance.

Xiao Chunya blinked her eyes. How come she was the only girl among the students? She received special treatment and was examined by the wife of the newly appointed prefect. When she came out, she happened to meet Eunuch Feng.

"Hello, Eunuch Feng."

"Oh, how come you've become so thin?" The chubby little girl has shrunk by half her size in two months. She doesn't look like she has a serious illness. Has she lost weight?

"It's too hot, the water evaporated." Xiao Chunya couldn't find the yamen runners and was dumbfounded. "Where is my cell?"

Eunuch Feng took the girl directly to a relatively cool room in the first row. The numbers were drawn randomly. He could put the girl wherever he liked. What could others dare to say?

Xiao Chunya took a look and saw that each room was given two candles and a small bucket half filled with water. These things were not rationed during the previous provincial examination.

She put the exam basket on the ground, put a wooden board into the card slot, took out a rag from the basket, dipped it in water and wiped it, then went on to wipe another wooden board.

After finishing everything, she felt hot even though she was only wearing a single layer of clothing. She quickly got a bowl of water and took two big gulps. Only then did she feel better.

The students came in one after another. When Lin Shaoxuan saw his assigned room, a complicated expression appeared on his face. He was assigned to the stinky room.

"Oh, 800 dormitories and 773 examinees. Are you going to use the empty rooms to breed cockroaches?" Eunuch Feng took a sharp look and saw that there were examinees in the stinky dormitories on both sides.

The prefect hurriedly said, "Move the candidates with bad names on the left and right to other empty rooms."

Lin Shaoxuan received an order from the yamen runner to change rooms. Although it was still next to the stinky cell, he felt much better. The most important thing was that history had been rewritten.

At 8 o'clock, the yamen runners began to distribute the test papers. There were three test papers on the first day, and three blank papers. When the sun went down, as long as you finished the test questions, the yamen runners would take your test paper away and wait until 8 o'clock the next day to distribute new test papers.

One is a scroll of the Four Books, one is a scroll of the Five Classics, and one is an arithmetic problem.

As usual, Xiao Chunya wrote out the math problems, using less than half of the white paper. She wrote the answers on the test paper, and then put it in the test basket and put it in a safe place on the other side.

The Four Books Volume has three questions, not many questions, and the depth and breadth are twice as difficult as the provincial examination. The Five Classics Volume also has three questions, and the difficulty is roughly the same.

Coming over from the provincial examination questions, Xiao Chunya didn't think these questions were that difficult. However, there was a lot of content to write about, so she had to keep writing. The handwriting on the paper could be sloppy, but when she copied it onto the test paper, it had to be neat and tidy, and the test paper had to be clean.

I had a bowl of white rice at noon. I don’t know if the cook was changed, but the minced meat and tofu were delicious. Xiao Chunya ate all the food. God knows if the food tomorrow will be bad?

After dinner, I continued answering the questions without stopping, and kept writing until the sun went down, and finally finished answering the questions.

After raising her hand to hand in the test paper, Xiao Chunya ran to the toilet. When she came out, she found that Lin Shaoxuan's cell was only three rooms away from the toilet. Seeing him writing calmly and composedly, she couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

When Xiao Chunya returned to her dormitory, she glanced at her brother in the last room of the second row. He had already finished his meal, which was quite fast.

Dinner was rice and bok choy, with a small spoonful of minced meat. The chef from lunch was still here, so the taste was guaranteed.

Xiao Chunya felt that the registration fee of five taels of silver was not paid in vain. It would be great if the chef was still there tomorrow.

As night fell, Zhao Erlang and Jiang in the Hongyun Inn could not eat. They were worried about the two children in the Imperial Examination Hall, especially the fat girl, whether she would eat obediently. If the food was really bad, she would probably only eat the rice and not the vegetables. How would she have the strength to last for three days and two nights without salt?

A little paper man climbed up the table leg and finally climbed onto the tabletop with great effort. Zhao Erlang, who was sighing, suddenly fixed his eyes. This little paper man was chubby and looked a bit like a girl. What was this...

The little paper man made an eating gesture, then patted his belly, meaning he was full, and then lay down on the table, meaning he was going to sleep.

Zhao Erlang carefully put the little paper figure in his hand, and then saw three small words on the back of the little paper figure: Fat Sister

"This is a little paper figure made by Xiaoqiuer. This little paper figure represents Xiaochuner." Zhao Erlang felt relieved. The fat girl had finished her meal and had gone to bed.

It was said that the Heavenly Master had mysterious and unpredictable methods, so Zhao Erlang was not surprised at all that his son would use a small paper man to deliver messages.

The food in every imperial examination hall was terrible. If they didn't have to, basically no one would eat it. Could it be that the examiner had a change of heart this time and hired a chef to cook for them?

The candidates who were prepared to eat pig food unexpectedly found that the food was tasty. It was such a pleasant surprise that they all finished their meals.

When you are in a good mood, your mind will be clearer. Although half of the people worked late into the night (by burning candles), very few were in a bad mood.

No one knows that this delicious meal was made by Eunuch Feng. Eunuch Feng is truly versatile. No wonder the emperor favors him so much. I heard that the Imperial Master is also a good friend of him. I wonder if the Imperial Master is impressed by his cooking skills?

Anyway, the chief examiner and the accompanying examiners were already busy and half dizzy, so why should they let Eunuch Feng cook for them? Even if the food was delicious, it would be hard to digest!

Eunuch Feng: Who do you think you are? The restaurant is cooking for little Fatty, so just enjoy it!
