Why marry someone when you are reborn?

Xu Yun never expected that his room would leak.

After being awakened, she was speechless for a moment, and then she felt that this matter seemed quite reasonable - she had seen the shabby state of the Imperial Examination Hall before. Even if it was renovated... such a large area, and in such a hurry, it seemed reasonable that there were omissions.

But...

Maybe not every cell is leaking.

She might be the unlucky one.

Then, Xu Yun got up and checked the leaking area overnight.

I moved the exam table a little further in - it would be troublesome if it got wet. I have an exam tomorrow and it's easy to get the papers dirty.

Fortunately, although it was raining, the wind was not strong. Although the table legs were wet, the table top was still dry.

After moving a little further in, I wasn't afraid anymore.

What made Xu Yun most fortunate was that the leaking areas were relatively close to the inside, and there was no leak on the outside half - so there was no need to worry about tomorrow's test paper being wetted by the leaking raindrops.

If there is no such hidden danger, there is no need to change the number.

You should know that if you do this, not only may it be recorded and affect your test scores, but most importantly, it will also affect your rest and energy.

After making sure that there was no problem with the table, Xu Yun wrapped himself in the quilt again and lay directly on the table.

Don’t worry about whether it’s ugly or not.

The key is that this way you can have a place to lie down and prevent rain from leaking directly and wetting the table.

As for the comfort level, Xu Yun felt it was okay. It was just as hard as the bed board, the only difference was the height.

So after Xu Yun lay down, he fell asleep quickly.

After all, it's quite tiring to go through all this trouble.

Even though I fell asleep, I didn't sleep well.

Because complaints from other people began to be heard one after another.

Among them, there were several candidates whose rooms were severely leaking and who needed to be changed.

When the yamen runners led the candidates past Xu Yun's cell, they could see Xu Yun sleeping on the table, wrapped tightly.

Then, I was inevitably surprised: I have seen candidates who are not particular about details, but I have never seen such a good attitude. This is too... accepting everything calmly.

Such adaptability made the yamen runners admire him a little: if it were them, they might not be able to have such a mentality.

What's more, this is a female candidate.

Xu Yun had no idea that her actions had unknowingly changed many people's impressions of the female candidate.

In a blink of an eye, it was daybreak.

Although it wasn't very bright because of the cloudy and rainy day, Xu Yun woke up automatically when the time came.

After sleeping like this all night, Xu Yun felt a little sore in his back.

After all, there was wind outside, so Xu Yun felt that he had some symptoms of a cold.

She quickly boiled a kettle of water and drank two large cups of hot water. Only then did she feel better.

Not long after drinking the hot water, the steamed buns started to swell.

The steamed buns are still the same as last night.

They are still warm to the touch.

Xu Yun swallowed his saliva, but still didn't dare to eat it. After putting it in his basket, he cooked some minced meat and salted egg soup to drink.

Even though it was just soup, at least I felt full and didn’t feel hungry anymore.

Not long after breakfast, it was time for the exam.

As soon as the test paper was handed out, Xu Yun immediately went to look at the questions.

Today we will still test policy essays.

The question is actually not that difficult. To summarize, it is: If you were the governor of Beiping City, how would you view Beiping City today and what would be your plans for the next step?

this problem……

Xu Yun didn't even need to doubt it, he knew that this question must have been asked by Du Hao.

This is really...

However, it is not easy to answer this question well.

This time, it was not only Du Hao who graded the papers, but also the local education official. The final ranking was actually decided by the two of them.

So not only Du Hao's preferences must be considered, but also the preferences of the academic administrator - and one cannot simply try to please the examiner. That would be too obvious. It would be suspected of flattery.

Xu Yun thought for a moment and then picked up the pen.

Tight.

The rain is still falling, who knows if the place that is not leaking now will leak later? So it is the safest way to finish writing early and put the test paper away for protection.

Xu Yun buried his head in writing.

The invigilator couldn't help smiling every time he passed by Xu Yun: After seeing so many candidates with sad faces, looking at this one can be said to be pleasing to the eye.

Just like that, Xu Yun finished writing the draft and then copied it again carefully.

Only half of the exam time has passed.

It is not possible to hand in the paper early.

So after Xu Yun waited for the test papers to dry completely, he rolled them up and kept them properly, and then he calmly began to boil water - drink water - boil water - drink water.

Compared with those candidates who dare not even drink a few sips of water for fear of going to the toilet and delaying the exam, Xu Yun is simply an outlier.

So much so that the students in the dormitory opposite Xu Yun looked at Xu Yun with a sense of bitterness and hatred.

He didn't bring an oil lamp, nor did he bring much charcoal, and he didn't dare to drink more water.

And he hasn't finished writing it yet.

Xu Yun didn't take the attention from others to heart at all.

When the time was up and the test papers were collected, Xu Yun had already packed up his things and picked up the basket and left.

As soon as he came out of the examination room, Xu Yun saw Chen Ku and Ashu craning their necks to look over here.

As soon as Ashu saw Xu Yun, he turned around and ran towards the carriage to call Luo Zhan.

Chen Ku hurried over to take the things from Xu Yun's hand.

Luo Zhan got off the carriage, lifted the curtain and took a look, then moved a little to make a comfortable position for Xu Yun.

Then, Luo Zhan looked at Xu Yun again.

As soon as Xu Yun got in the car, he chose to half-collapse on the cushion, and then said weakly: "Quick, take me to have a hot meal!"

Luo Zhan looked at Xu Yun in surprise, then asked Ashu to drive back quickly. When they passed a roadside vendor selling steamed buns, he asked Ashu to buy another steamed bun.

It is no exaggeration to say that when Luo Zhan handed the steamed bun to Xu Yun, Xu Yun's eyes really lit up!

Xu Yun took the steamed bun and took a big bite. Then he squinted his eyes in satisfaction: It smells so good! It smells so good that it almost makes me lose my soul!

For people who have been hungry for a few meals, nothing tastes as good as rice or steamed buns.

Seeing Xu Yun eating, Luo Zhan was so shocked that he even sat up straight, frowned and asked: "You didn't eat in there? Didn't they say that the food would be distributed?"

Anyone who saw Xu Yun like this would suspect that food was being withheld.

Xu Yun swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth and then spoke: "There was a steamed bun inside, so I didn't dare to eat it."

This sentence contained too much information, so Luo Zhan did not ask any more questions. He watched Xu Yun eat the steamed buns in silence while thinking about it carefully.

Xu Yun ate a steamed bun and finally felt better. She was refreshed and her headache was gone. She pointed to the basket and said, "After the first meal, someone was carried out. The second meal was replaced with steamed buns like this. I was a little scared and didn't dare to eat the rest."

Luo Zhan finally understood why Xu Yun was so hungry.

As for Xu Yun's guess, Luo Zhan said with a complicated expression: "——"
