On the surface, the neutrals seemed to have nothing to do with them, standing there with their eyes closed and concentrating. In fact, their ears were sensitive to the news from various sources.

The worried parents of the ministers took their children aside and explained to them the things they needed to pay attention to during the imperial examination.

The minister asked in a low voice: "Have you clearly remembered the emperor's taboos?"

The candidates with sharp ears nearby lit up their eyes when they heard this, tilted their heads in the direction of the minister, and then pretended to be nonchalant.

The son also replied in a low voice: "I have remembered everything clearly. Father, don't worry."

The minister's father stroked the beard on his chin with satisfaction, "My son is very good."

Seeing that nothing was heard, the nearby examinee withdrew his attention expressionlessly and turned his attention to other places.

Yang Yuanzu was yawning without any image when he suddenly heard someone calling his name. The voice came from a group of people wearing official uniforms. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound.

It feels so good that my eyes are not short-sighted. I can see acquaintances in the crowd at a glance... people?

Yang Yuanzu glanced at the group of people on the left for a few times, and then the group of people on the right followed suit. After repeated glances, he was sure that this was the opposing camp that had just started talking.

It's just that his classmates were just standing behind the crowd fishing, and he didn't pay attention to the sounds here, so he didn't notice these classmates.

Feng Qingyang and Jiang Yingyu stood on one side, while Liu Baba and Zhu Yuyan stood on the other side. They were all wearing green official robes, and they seemed to be doing well.

Liu BaBa greeted him, and then ran out with Zhu Yuyan to stand with Yang Yuanzu.

Feng Qingyang and Yang Yuanzu were roommates when they were studying. They had a very good relationship. Feng Qingyang wanted to come over and chat with Yang Yuanzu, but when Liu Baba and Liu Baba ran over, he put half of his extended foot back. Received it back.

Liu Baba and Jiang Yingyu used to be roommates, and the two had the best relationship, but now they are in opposing camps.

Zhu Yuyan used to be close to Yang Yuanzu in class, so she often went to Yang Yuanzu's dormitory to ask questions. She also got along well with Feng Qingyang, who was in the same dormitory, and Feng Qingyang used to be in the poetry competition. She even helped him, but now the two have become opposing camps.

After Yang Yuanzu sorted out the sleeping relationship network in his mind, he curiously asked: "Brother Ba Ba and Lao Zhu, what are you playing with Brother Feng and the others?"

Playing a game where former friends turn against each other?

Wouldn't it be even more chaotic when the protagonist attacks Zhang Jiangguan and returns?

Liu Baba looked around with his peripheral vision, then leaned close to Yang Yuanzu's ear and whispered: "Alas, Brother Yang, it's hard to explain in words. I shed tears when I talk about it. I'll tell you more in detail later." After that, he returned to his normal behavior. He looked surprised, "Brother Yang, you have finally come to Changjing City. Please tell me how your life has been in the past three years. I'm so curious!"

Yang Yuanzu thought about his past three years and said seriously: "Making money, farming, and raising children."

"Brother Yang needs to take care of something as small as taking care of a child?" Liu Ba Ba asked.

"The important point should be that Brother Yang actually has children." Zhu Yuyan agreed from the side.

Yang Yuanzu looked serious, "Don't underestimate taking care of children. Taking care of children is much more difficult. First of all, you need to pay attention when the children are not yet one month old..."

The candidates nearby thought they could hear some information related to the exam, but instead they heard about the importance of children using disposable diapers. The key is that it felt quite fresh just listening to it, and they couldn't help but listen to a few more words. .

"You have no idea how convenient these disposable diapers are."

"Brother Yang, why haven't I seen any of these diapers for sale in Changjing City? Are they a specialty of your Shunxing County Department Store?"

Yang Yuanzu nodded, "My children's diapers are all made of freshly picked clean cotton, which is guaranteed to be clean and breathable!"

“Isn’t this diaper also limited edition?”

"Naturally, there are a lot of good things." Although diapers are limited in quantity, not many people buy them. After all, disposable consumables like this are not in line with the consumption concept of Daning Dynasty people. Except for some wealthy people, Ordinary people still use the old method, which is to wash and reuse a diaper over and over again.

Yang Yuanzu turned his head inadvertently and suddenly found Yi Shengwan appearing silently beside him. He couldn't help but be startled. After being frightened, he asked: "My lord, why are you here?"

"While you were talking eloquently about diapers." Yi Shengwan glanced sideways at Yang Yuanzu, "Why, do you think the topic of this year's imperial examination will be diapers?"

The minister who was eavesdropping on the side only listened to half of it and then passed on the message, "The Sixth Prince said that the topic of this year's imperial examination is diapers?" There was a doubtful tone in his words.

The person who received the message looked doubtfully in the direction of Yang Yuanzu and the others, only to hear the sixth prince saying the word diaper, so he continued to pass on the message in a positive tone.

Gradually, the core content of the rumor became that this year's exam topic was diapers.

The candidates who heard the content were confused at first, and then immediately believed it. No one among them questioned the rationality of the content. They quickly searched their minds for knowledge points related to diapers.

But there was no article related to diapers, and the brains of all the candidates suddenly exploded.

When the crowd was bustling, the palace gate finally opened. Everyone immediately became quiet when they saw this, while the ministers stood in their court positions and waited to enter.

The eunuch who sent the message first allowed the ministers to enter as usual, and the candidates were uniformly taken to the bathhouse after being inspected at the city gate.

Candidates must first take a bath and then change into clothes prepared by the palace before entering the Baohe Hall.

In the Baohe Palace, the emperor and ministers discussed court affairs as usual. Today is the day of the palace examination, and the courtiers did not forget to remind the emperor to establish a prince.

After Yang Yuanzu and others finished cleaning up, they were led by the eunuchs to wait outside the hall. A moment later, a dull and distant bell sounded from the store.

After the courtiers exited, Yang Yuanzu followed everyone into the palace. Curiously, he followed the sound of the bells and found a row of chimes on the wall of the palace.

He only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze and followed everyone in saluting.

The emperor first randomly selected candidates to answer questions in the palace. Those who could answer the questions would stay, and those who could not answer or could not answer immediately would leave.

Those who leave will not be eliminated. They will be given the title of Sanjia and be born with Jinshi, and be sent to local officials to hold official positions.

It was the first time for the candidates to face the emperor, and it was inevitable that they would stumble when speaking. As a result, they were eliminated from the Baohe Hall as soon as they stuttered.

In less than half an hour, half of the people in the hall had been eliminated.

The emperor frowned, the elimination was too slow, so he directly called the arithmetic officer to come forward and asked a difficult calculation problem.
