Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Hearing Gu Qingzhi's words at this moment, Gu Cheng hadn't had time to think about how to respond, when a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the door: "Qingqing, yes. Are you curious about this?"

Gu Qingzhi looked back and saw that it was her brother who walked in from the door.

She looked at him in surprise and said, "Brother, why did you come out? Haven't you been preparing for the exam in the study room all this time?"

Gu Yan smiled and replied, "Well, you should go out for a walk as well, otherwise staying in the study all the time won't be very efficient.

By the way, you asked about the exam room number just now, are you interested in this?"

Gu Qingzhi nodded obediently: "Yes, brother, do you know that too?"

After saying that, she reacted and smiled a little embarrassedly.

After all, my brother is about to take the exam, so he is naturally very clear about these things.

really.

However, Gu Yan didn't care about it. He looked at his sister gently and said with a smile: "Since Qingqing wants to know, I will tell you."

Then, he slowly spoke about the provincial examination in a low and pleasant voice:

"The place where scholars take the provincial examination is also called the "haofang", which is a small room.

This is a place specially provided for scholars to answer papers, eat and rest in the Imperial Examination Hall, and it is also their temporary dormitory.

During the imperial examination, each scholar had his own separate room.

During the exam, unless there are special circumstances, they have to stay in their dormitories and are not allowed to move around at will.

The invigilation in the Imperial Examination Hall was very strict. Scholars had to undergo a strict body search when entering the hall to prevent anyone from bringing smuggled materials into the examination room.

This is the same as the college entrance examination.

After all the scholars have entered the examination hall, the gate of the Imperial Examination Hall will be locked and will not be opened until the afternoon of the third day. During this period, no one inside is allowed to leave.

In other words, during the provincial examination, scholars had to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep in their rooms and were not allowed to leave until the end of the examination.

The space inside room number 1 was very narrow, with only two wooden boards, one above the other.

The upper board can be used as a table for writing answer sheets, while the lower one serves as a chair.

When you rest at night, you can put two wooden boards together and use them as a bed.

A charcoal fire and a candle will be provided for the examinees in the examination room.”

The charcoal fire can be used for heating at night, and can also be used by scholars for cooking and boiling water.

During the provincial examination, scholars were completely isolated from the outside world, so they had to solve problems such as meals by themselves.

The invigilators only care about whether the candidates cheat during the provincial examination. As for other actions of the candidates in the examination rooms, they have no concern at all.

Gu Qingzhi opened her eyes wide and listened attentively. She compared the previous college entrance examination with the provincial examination her brother was talking about now, and said seriously, "Brother, this seems to be different from when you took the college entrance examination."

"Yeah." Gu Yan nodded, looked at her appreciatively, and continued:

“Nature is different.

First of all, each provincial examination lasts much longer than the academy examination. The academy examination only lasts one day, while the provincial examination lasts three days.

Therefore, the schedule was not so tight, but the extended timeline itself was a test for the scholars.

The environment inside was so harsh, the food and sleep were not good, and they had to endure a lot of pressure. Every year after the provincial examination, there would be a lot of people who were too sick and were carried out of the examination room. "

"Ah?" Gu Qingzhi was extremely surprised. There was actually such a thing!

What Gu Yan didn’t say was that there were even more severe cases, and some people died on the spot.

It can be seen how strict the selection process of the provincial examination is!

It is held only once every three years, and only a handful of people are admitted each time. You can imagine how fierce the competition is.

However, the temptation of "study hard for ten years but no one cares, become famous overnight and be known by the world" is too great. Even though people are well aware that the road to imperial examinations is difficult and dangerous, countless people still continue to take part in it.

Forget it, it’s better not to say these words and scare the young lady.

At this moment, Gu Qingzhi's mind was working quickly, and she instantly thought of another key problem: in such hot weather, ordinary meals cannot be preserved for a long time.

But, this is three days and two nights, we can't go without food and water, right?

So, what food should I bring becomes a big problem.

Just when everyone was thinking hard, Gu Cheng stood up and spoke.

It turned out that he had participated in the provincial examination and had some experience in this regard.

However, he fell ill during the third exam and re-took it, but the result was the same. He never took the exam again after getting married and having children.

Generally speaking, candidates will bring some dry food that can be preserved for a long time.

After all, it is not practical to carry meals in such hot weather.

Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi started to think.

She understood that if she wanted to achieve good results, her meals for these three days must be fully guaranteed.

If you can’t even eat well, how can you have the energy to prepare for the exam?

So, the family began to discuss enthusiastically what food should be prepared.

Gu Yan just came out to take a breath, drank a cup of mung bean soup diluted with well water, and then returned to the study to continue reviewing his lessons.

Gu Qingzhi and a group of people were left behind to happily discuss what food would be most suitable to prepare. Everyone was talking at once and expressing their opinions, making the atmosphere very lively for a while.

After a long discussion, everyone finally reached a consensus and decided to make some biscuits and dried meat.

Because Gu Cheng mentioned before that there was a stove and charcoal fire inside, which could be used to heat food.

When the time comes, just put the pancakes and dried meat on the stove and toast them, and you can enjoy the delicious food.

In order to make the food more flavorful, Gu Qingzhi suggested putting dried meat in the pancake and pairing it with Wang’s carefully prepared pickled radish, mushrooms and other pickles. This way, one can fill the stomach while ensuring balanced nutrition.

In addition, dried meat can be stored for half a month without deteriorating, and biscuits can be stored for two or three days.

Wang believes that steamed buns can also be added as a food option because they can be kept for a long time without spoiling quickly.

The final list of food items included pancakes, dried meat and steamed buns.

Although this is only something that can be thought of in the short term, it is enough to meet their needs.

However, Gu Qingzhi was still a little worried that her brother would not get enough rest in the examination room and would lack energy, which would affect his test performance.

So she racked her brains and used her specialty - she personally made a pill to replenish physical strength.

However, it was inconvenient to carry the pills into the examination room. After much thought, she came up with an idea to cleverly mix the pills into pickles so that she could have some at every meal to ensure her brother was full of energy.

In order to verify whether this method is effective, she also specifically asked Gu Yan to try it out.
