The three examinations were finally over, and the candidates poured out of the Imperial Examination Hall like the ebb tide.

  Most of the candidates were in good spirits. Tang Jun finished writing the test papers two days before each exam and made up for the sleep on the last day. Therefore, he looked as if he had just woken up, with a rosy face, and did not look like he had just come out of the dormitory at all.

  "Brother Tang!" Su Cheng said from behind, "You are still glowing, it seems you are doing well."

  Compared with Tang Jun's reasonable time arrangement, Su Cheng's complexion was a little worse. Although he had coffee to refresh himself, his face was still sallow after three exams, and he looked in good spirits.
"Brother Su, you look so happy and smiling, I think you are good at playing Yi."

  Su Cheng was not only in good spirits, but even a little excited: "To be honest, with the help of your sister's coffee and compressed biscuits, I think I performed exceptionally well in the exam. Maybe I can really make the list!"

  "Congratulations, Brother Su." Tang Jun was also a little excited, "Next year, let's go to the Qian Palace for the test together again!"

  Su Cheng's eyes flashed with hope, and he nodded heavily: "Yes!"

  The two were talking with great ambition when they suddenly heard a crazy voice: "The exam is over! The exam is over! Finally the exam is over!"

  Before I could look back, I saw a figure running past me in a hurry. He was in tattered clothes, with messy long hair, and he was not even wearing shoes. He was walking barefoot.

  Su Cheng was stunned and said, "I only heard that Fan Jin went crazy after passing the imperial examination, but I have never seen anyone go crazy right after the exam. Who is that person?"

  Tang Jun saw clearly: "It's Huo Lian."

  "Huo Lian?" Hearing this name, Su Cheng burst out laughing. "Then I understand. He ate rotten rice for the first exam, had to eat flatbread for the second, and slept like a pig for three whole days in the last one, snoring like thunder. His sins are finally over. How can he not be excited and go crazy?"

  During the exam, Su Cheng was sitting next to Huo Lian, and he could hear everything that happened next door clearly. Tang Jun was too focused on writing the test questions, so he didn't hear anything.

  The provincial examination has finally come to an end. No matter how they performed, all the candidates breathed a sigh of relief. After years of intense study, they can finally relax for a while at this moment, tour Chang'an City, visit the East and West Markets, and wait anxiously for the announcement of the results.

  Half a month later, what was supposed to come finally came.

  In front of the Chang'an Imperial Examination Hall, a huge bright yellow imperial edict was prominently posted on the red wall. With a loud shout of "Post the imperial edict", the news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and eventually spread to every street and alley in Chang'an City.

  This was a big event. Soon, the entrance to the Imperial Examination Hall was crowded with people. Most of them were scholars who were taking the exam, but there were also passers-by who were just joining in the fun, and children who were running errands for others to check their rankings...

  Not only did younger generations like Su Cheng, Huo Lian and Tang Jun come, but even the heads of the Su and Huo families were present, which shows how much they value their sons' futures.
