Film and TV: Traveling through countless worlds at the same time

Some are so hard that they can kill people.

There are also carefully crafted snacks.

Even those who had nothing prepared had "pig food" provided by the Imperial Examination Hall.

Maybe even pigs won't eat it.

Lu Xiao rang the bell on the wall for the second time.

After a while the invigilator came over.

He then asked the invigilator for a small stove and a bottle of water for one person.

Clean water is free, but the stove is not.

During the provincial examination, if you need a Fire Stove Pomegranate Flag (also = 2/Bao Si VIII), you can report to the government office in advance.

Renting a palm-sized stove for three days would cost five taels of silver.

Don't underestimate these five taels of silver; many people can't actually afford it.

In addition, it is autumn now, and although the temperature at night is not high, it is not cold either.

Therefore, anyone who has a small stove at night in the examination hall is considered to be wealthy.

However, you must be careful when using this thing. If you accidentally set your test paper on fire, no one will care.

He placed the small stove on the table and then took out a bowl from his backpack.

Pour clean water on it and place it on the stove.

After a while, the water in the bowl began to boil slowly.

Then Lu Xiao took out a pile of instant noodles from his backpack.

That's right, it's instant noodles.

This thing is actually very well made.

The flour is made into noodles, steamed, and then fried.

There's no high-tech content.

The only downside is that it consumes a bit of fuel.

But Lu Xiao doesn't lack this little money now.

As for why I say “a bunch”.

Of course, it was because when I entered the Imperial Examination Hall, the whole piece of bread was crushed by the inspector.

Put a pile of bread into the bowl, then take out a small cloth bag from the backpack.

It contains pre-dried meat and pre-mixed seasonings.

When the person who inspected it before saw the seasoning, he curiously tasted it and his expression was very interesting.

Put both ingredients into a bowl.

A moment later, a rich aroma wafted out from Lu Xiao's examination room.

Then he clearly felt several gazes coming towards him.

He looked up and glanced around.

The eyes of the students in the nearby examination halls all turned red.

His eyes were full of resentment.

We all came to take part in the provincial examination, why are you so outstanding?

Even the invigilators were stunned when they saw him operate.

This behavior once again refreshed their cognition.

Ignore the stabbing looks from everyone.

The noodles were cooked soon.

Pick up the bowl and move the small stove to your feet.

Then Lu Xiao began to feast on the food.

"Slurp~Slurp~Slurp~"

The sound of intake continued to ring.

After a few seconds, there were bursts of shouting from all around.

"Gugugu~"

Obviously, this is someone else's belly.

At this moment, the other students, even though they had already eaten, still felt extremely hungry.

Then everyone's eyes turned redder.

Some even protested against the invigilators.

Unfortunately, Lu Xiao's actions at this time still did not violate any of the rules of the provincial examination.

There is only one thing involved.

No cooking is allowed during the exam period.

But the problem is that he didn't make a fire.

The fire used was a small stove distributed by the Imperial Examination Hall for warming hands.

For others, this fire can only boil a bowl of water, and cooking is definitely out of the question.

Therefore, Lu Xiao really found a loophole.

Of course, he is not a pushover.

In no time at all, a large bowl of noodles was finished.

It didn't take too much time before and after.

Otherwise, the invigilators would probably come and stop him from doing this, under the will of most of the candidates.

Then there was silence all night.

Thanks to meditation, Lu Xiao was full of energy and began the second exam the next day.

Two days after the provincial examination, the test was on policy essays.

The second day is for "discussion".

The third day is "Strategy".

"Lun" is equivalent to an expanded version of the "Jingyi" exam questions, and is similar to the argumentative essays of later generations.

To explain in detail is to elaborate on your own opinion based on a question or a sentence.

Be sure to be detailed.

That is to say, there is a word count requirement, and writing shorter will not work.

"Strategy" is to propose one's own solution based on certain specific issues of the current court.

As for the first day's interpretation of the sutra, to put it bluntly, it's pretty much the same as the "fill-in-the-blank questions plus reading comprehension" of later generations.

"Strategy and discussion" has always been Lu Xiao's strong point.

Therefore, the second and third exams were not too difficult for him either.

I still have to be the first to submit my paper in every round.

Then when you are tired, sit down and rest.

When you are hungry, cook instant noodles.

Just like that, three days passed by in a flash.

After all the examinations were completed, the gates of the Imperial Examination Hall were reopened.

Lu Xiao was the first to leave the Imperial Examination Hall in high spirits.

Compared to the other people, he looked like nothing had happened.

As soon as we left the Imperial Examination Hall, the Sheng family's housekeeper shouted at the top of his voice not far away.

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Seeing the butler waving, Lu Xiao took two steps forward.

The housekeeper immediately asked with concern, "Sir, did your exam go well?"

Lu Xiao nodded slightly.

If there were no shady dealings, he would definitely have passed the imperial examination.

He still has that confidence.

After seeing his actions, the butler smiled even happier.

However, the butler was very sensible and did not make a fuss. He turned around and led Lu Xiao to the carriage.

The carriage moved forward slowly and soon returned.

After returning to his room and washing up, Lu Xiao finally fell asleep.

Although meditation can replace sleeping, in terms of comfort, bed is still more comfortable.

I slept till the next day.

In the following days, he did not leave Huixianlou.

I've been waiting for the Imperial Examination results to be announced.

A few days later, the day of the results announcement finally arrived.

Students without the necessary conditions crowded at the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall, hoping to see the results of the list first.

If conditions permit, they will send servants or book boys to check the list.

Ye Yiqiu Yiqisi and Wu Jiusi lied to Lu Xiao, saying that he neither went there himself nor sent anyone.

Still calm and relaxed, drinking in Huixianlou.

Beside him, the Sheng family's housekeeper appeared even more anxious than he was.

"Sir, do we really not need to look at the list?"

Lu Xiao said, "No need. The outcome is already decided. It doesn't matter whether we go or not. We just have to wait."

Hearing this, some other students nearby smiled at him.

"It's better to retreat and be calm."

He already knew some of the people who said these things, and they were also students from Youyang.

The other part is the ones I met recently in Huixianlou.

Since one is entering officialdom, the ways of the world are unavoidable.

So Lu Xiao didn't mind making a few more friends on a daily basis.

Who knows, one of these guys might become his colleague someday.

At this moment, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the street outside.

The sound came from far away and soon reached the entrance of Huixian Tower.

Chapter 10 High School Scholar

The originally noisy restaurant suddenly became quiet.

This is?

A good news team?

At this hour, good news arrived, and that news must have been about the first place winner, the "Jie Yuan".

Could it be that the first place winner of this provincial examination is in Huixian Tower?

The mood of all the students participating in the provincial examination suddenly became tense.
