Chapter 71: Change clothes before entering

Gongyuan

Liu Yanyan, dressed in a green dress with a white jade hairpin on her head, came to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall in a carriage. She saw a long queue in front of her, and everyone was carrying a basket in their hands.

Liu Yanyan looked at the single layer of clothes on her body. For some reason, her right eye kept twitching. She felt uneasy. She remembered that she had the same experience before giving birth in her previous life. She said to Yuzhu Yuzhen beside her worriedly, "Check everything you need again. There can be no mistakes."

After Yuzhu and Yuzhen checked everything, Yuzhu said, "Miss, there is no problem with the pen and ink, the oilcloth, the cakes and dry food, the ginger was just picked this morning and has been washed, the small pot is not leaking, and the broken carbon is also fine."

Yuzhen also nodded and said, "Miss, I didn't find any problems."

Liu Yanyan touched it and found her right eye was still twitching. She checked herself but found nothing wrong. She looked at the clothes she was wearing, raised her slender hands to pick up the hem of her clothes, and splashed some tea on it. Soon, small, fine words appeared on the clothes.

Liu Yanyan's face was gloomy. She stared at the clothes for a long time, then turned to look at the gray cloth clothes on Yuzhu and said, "Yuzhu, exchange your clothes with me."

Yuzhu was stunned and said, "Miss, this cotton dress is very rough. Miss, you are precious, and wearing this dress will probably rub your body red."

Liu Yanyan shook her head and smiled bitterly, "No, I don't have time to buy clothes now. I'll just wear yours. Your clothes are thick. Otherwise, I'll be in trouble if it's considered cheating."

Yuzhu nodded and took off her clothes. Liu Yanyan also took off her clothes and changed into gray clothes.

With a nervous look on his face, he stood in line behind the other students queuing for the Imperial Examination Hall, carrying a basket.

Gu Beiming happened to be standing in front. He looked at the pale Liu Yanyan with disdain and said, "Oh, you can't tell that this pale girl is the county princess. Why is she here for the Spring Examination? You are an abandoned woman, you should just hide at home and cry!"

Liu Yanyan chuckled, "You, a loser, dare to come, so why can't I come? I failed the exam several times, it's shameful."

Gu Beiming had a dark face and was about to hit someone, but was stopped by the guard next to him.

"What are you doing? If you don't want to take the exam, you can get out now."

Gu Beiming said with a flattering look on his face, "Sir, I was just joking. I want to take the exam." After saying that, he stood in front like a quail, not daring to say anything else, not even excessive words.

Liu Yanyan looked at him with a servile look on her face, glanced at him with disdain, and said nothing more. She guarded her basket tightly, fearing that anything might go wrong.

As time passed, Gu Beiming went in to check, took off all his clothes, checked everything, and even broke open all the biscuits and dry food to check.

Liu Yanyan's legs were shaking a little. When it was her turn, she hesitated for a while before going forward. Just when she thought she was asked to undress, she was taken to a room next door. A female detective came forward with a serious face, checked her inside and out, and said, "It's done, no problem."

The female detective patted Liu Yanyan on the shoulder to encourage her, then she walked out the door and followed the other scholars inside.

Liu Yanyan tidied her clothes and took a note from the guard, on which was written "Day Number 19". She walked in, found her own cell and frowned. It was small and old, with a thin layer of dust on the table. She walked in reluctantly, wiped the table with a handkerchief, put the board down and sat down.

I kept muttering in my heart, luckily my father told me, otherwise how could I live! I looked up at the leaking ceiling and sighed helplessly.

When the time came, the guards handed out the written test papers. Liu Yanyan did not start writing immediately. Instead, she quickly skimmed through them and wrote down her hometown and name.

In the first round of examination on the meaning of scriptures, Liu Yanyan smiled lightly, feeling confident, and picked up the pen as if assisted by God. She had finished the examination paper before noon.

Carefully drying the ink, he raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to hand in the paper. The guard came over with a serious face, put the paper away, and then said, "You only have a quarter of an hour to go to the toilet. Go quickly if you want to."

Liu Yanyan nodded and walked towards the toilet, only to find that in the Tianhao Courtyard, there were two other women, whose exam numbers were right next to the toilet, covering their noses while writing their papers.

After going to the toilet, I walked back to my own cell, thinking about what my father once said: when his friend was taking the exam, it rained at night and he was soaked. The next day he couldn't even pick up a pen. All the candidates almost became fools when they finished the exam and walked out of the examination hall.

Liu Yanyan took out a piece of oilcloth, stood on the table with difficulty, tied the oilcloth with thread to form a slope, and then walked down with confidence.

He wiped the table with a handkerchief, took out some dry food and started eating. After he was full, he leaned back on the table and closed his eyes to rest. He did not do that until a clang sounded. Then he rubbed his eyes, yawned, and sat up straight.

The policy essay in the afternoon exam discussed how to solve the development of border towns.

Liu Yanyan scratched her head. She didn't know much about this as she had always lived in the capital. However, Master Liu had explained it to her systematically and she still remembered most of it. So she picked up the manuscript, wrote down what she wanted to write, and then copied it carefully onto the test paper.

When I finished writing the examination paper, I realized that I had not written my place of origin and name. I was so scared that my face turned pale. I quickly wrote my place of origin and name, and then checked it again. I raised my hand when there was no problem, and waited for the guards to take away the test paper.

The guard had a serious look on his face. After taking the test paper, he said, "You have 15 minutes to go to the toilet. You are not allowed to walk around freely."

Liu Yanyan nodded and hurried to the toilet. After she was done, she came out feeling relaxed. Seeing several scholars still writing, she did not dare to look around and went straight to her own room.

I lit the charcoal with a fire starter and put the casserole on the stove. Then I remembered that I didn't have any water. I raised my hand and the guard came over. "What's the matter?"

Liu Yanyan said, "I want some clean water."

The guard looked impatient as he looked at her room. He knew that she was not an ordinary person. He turned around and got a bowl of water, poured it into the smoking casserole, and left with the bowl.

Liu Yanyan's eyes were full of gratitude. She put the ginger in the water, waited for the water to boil, used a handkerchief to take the casserole down, and waited for the water to cool down before eating it with the pancake.

When night fell and candles were lit, the candidate opposite was still writing. When the candle was half burned, he raised his hand to hand in the paper and blew out the candle.

Liu Yanyan moved the stool she was sitting on back and laid it flat on the resting board behind her. She lay on the board holding her clothes and took a light nap.

I was awakened by the crackling sound of rain in the middle of the night. I had to get up to check and found that the oilcloth was not loose. The rain was sliding down on the oilcloth without dripping onto the table.

He moved the table a little further in, took out the remaining oilcloth and covered it with it, then he lay back on the board behind him, listening to the student next to him screaming, "Ah! What should I do? All my pens and ink are gone, and my table and clothes are all wet. What should I do? Ah ha!"

The guards patrolled outside wearing straw raincoats and shouted at the noisy scholars, "Shut your mouth! If you keep making noise, I'll arrest you."

The candidate then shut up and said timidly, but the sobbing beside him did not stop all night.
