Cannon fodder Gong Just Wants To Take The Imperial Examination [MTL]

Chapter 86

On the sixth day of March, the general examination began to enter the venue. This time there will be a total of three exams, each of which will take three days. The difference between the general examination and the rural examination is that the rural examination allows one day off after one test, while the general examination requires nine days in the examination room.

　　Although it is already March, the weather in the capital is still very cold. Especially it rained the day before the exam, so I felt very cold when I got up early in the morning.

Shen Chenyu prepared the test basket last night, and got up before dawn this morning. Originally, he didn't want Mu Linting to suffer from the cold, after all, the other party is now pregnant with a child. However, Mu Linting's temperament is rather stubborn, so he got up early in the morning, planning to send Shen Chenyu into the examination room himself.

　　Shen Chenyu had no way to persuade him, but asked him to wear more clothes, and they left the small courtyard one after the other.

　　When Shen Chenyu and his wife came out, several students from the government school had already got up. After everyone gathered, they said a few words, and the group headed towards the examination room together.

　　Because the examination is held in March, it is called Chunwei and Xingbang. The general examination is held by the Ministry of Rites of the imperial court, and only those who pass the provincial examination can participate. Candidates who pass the examination are called Gongshi, and the first among them is called a member.

　　The ranking of the general examination is not the final ranking. In the next month, that is, in April, one will have to participate in the palace examination, and the ranking obtained from the palace examination is the final ranking. Generally, Gongshi who passed the general examination will not fail in the palace examination later. At most, there are two differences between Jinshi and the same Jinshi.

　　The Palace Examination is also called the Gold List, and the top three are: No. 1 Scholar, No. 2, and Tan Hua. After the palace examination, there will be a horse parade through the streets, and that will be the most beautiful time for scholars.

　　Even Shen Chenyu couldn't help being a little excited when she thought that the imperial examination and the palace examination were the last two hurdles of the imperial examination. However, this kind of excitement didn't last long, because it was extinguished by the strict inspection of the trial.

　　The general examination is more stringent than the rural examination, but because the candidates are all Juren now, the overall quality is much better than before.

　　After Shen Chenyu entered the entrance of the examination institute, she was led into a room next to it by soldiers. While the soldiers were carefully checking his test basket, Shen Chenyu had to take off his clothes for the eunuch next to him to check.

　　No matter how many talents there are among them, a simple entry into the city now will throw face on the ground. But fortunately, although the inspection of the test is strict, at least you don't have to lose face in front of everyone if you stay in the room.

　　Because they need to stay in the examination room for nine consecutive days, most candidates will choose to buy food and water in the examination room. However, there are also candidates who bring some rations in because of their family background or worry about hygiene. They simply cook something for themselves.

　　When Shen Chenyu was looking for the numbered room with the test basket, she saw a candidate next to him carrying a large and small bag. It seemed that the other party had brought a lot of food.
