The entire examination room was eerily quiet. Some candidates in the exam hall frowned and thought about how to solve the questions, and some looked like they were mourning for their wives. However, just as the exam started, they began to think that this exam must be over.

As for the other candidates, a few of them had bright smiles on their faces, and they were writing words on the white paper with the brushes in their hands.

Normally, these candidates might have burst into laughter.

It can be seen that these questions are extremely convenient for these candidates.

As for Huang Tinghui, who was among the candidates, he seemed much different from the others.

He looked at the question calmly, and then thought about how to solve the question in the best way.

There were seven questions in the first exam. Huang Tinghui, in line with the idea of ​​sharpening his sword and chopping firewood, made a draft in his mind before he started to answer the questions.

The first test of this provincial examination lasted from dawn to night.

Huang Tinghui had already answered all the test questions before the sky became a little dark.

However, some candidates moved too slowly until the sky became dark, and these candidates did not finish answering all the questions.

At this time, they will light the candle if they can answer the question completely before the candle burns out.

That's easy to say.

If after all the candles are burned out, these candidates still cannot answer all the questions on the test paper, then I'm sorry, the official in charge of the examination room will forcibly put away the test paper.

Just after Huang Tinghui cooked some noodles and finished eating them, he heard a sound.

Leaning out to take a look, he saw several officers in charge of order in the examination room pulling out a gray-haired old scholar.

"Wait for me for a moment, wait for me for a moment!"

"My test paper will be finished soon, it will be finished soon!"

"Master, master!"

"Please, please?" The white-haired old scholar pulled the examiner's leg and begged over and over again.

"The examination room has the order of the examination room!"

"How can the law be broken because of you?"

"How unfair is this to other candidates?"

"If you roar in the examination room again, I will expel you from the examination room!"

Hearing the grey-haired old scholar's plea, the examiner showed no sympathy at all.

He spoke to the old scholar righteously.

After all, if there is extra mercy for this matter, it won't be just this old scholar who deserves to die.

If someone uncovers this matter, it will be difficult for the examiner to escape responsibility.

"Master, master!"

"Please, please, I only have a few words left, only a few words left!"

The gray-haired scholar probably knew that if he handed in the test paper like this, he would definitely fail the exam.

So he said desperately to the examiner.

After hearing this, the examiner finally ran out of patience.

The examiner frowned and said to the officer: "Take this person out and expel him from the examination room!"

The officer who received the order immediately bowed his hands to the examiner and said, "Yes, sir!"

Then, amid a burst of howling.

The white-haired scholar was thrown directly out of the Gongyuan.

Seeing this scene, Huang Tinghui, who had just finished eating hot noodles, couldn't help but sigh.

However, Huang Tinghui didn't have much sympathy for the gray-haired old scholar.

Since the birth of the imperial examination, there have been many people like him who have passed the exam to old age and died in the exam.

In August, the weather has become much colder.

Huang Tinghui tightened his clothes tightly and remembered the charcoal he had received.

Speaking of which, the rural examination in Gongyuan can be described as extremely formal.

Probably because I have encountered various situations in the provincial examinations over the years, I have already gained a lot of experience.

So before the exam started, a lot of charcoal was provided.

Speaking of these charcoals, apart from being used for cooking and eating, there is no need to provide so much.

I think there have been times when the weather was a little cold before, especially on rainy days.

So in addition to letting the candidates cook, it is also used by the candidates to keep warm.

While answering questions today, Huang Tinghui heard a "tick-tick" sound of rain.

The weather has become a lot cooler at this time, after all, it is the eighth month of the lunar calendar, and there is some autumn rain.

So it’s not surprising that the weather gets cooler after the rain.

However, Huang Tinghui did not underestimate this. After all, in the imperial examinations in previous years, there were cases where the exams could not be continued due to wind and cold.

Although Huang Tinghui's body has improved a lot due to his deliberate exercise over the years.

But everything must be taken precautions before it happens, so it is better not to catch a cold.

Therefore, Huang Tinghui added some charcoal to the charcoal stove in the examination room to make the charcoal burn vigorously and to drive away the cold air.

To avoid getting really sick in this rainy night.

Then it's really not worth the gain.

After all, Huang Tinghui also attaches great importance to this provincial examination.

Just after Huang Tinghui finished everything, he heard several coughs coming from the room a few exam numbers away from him.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

The coughing continued, and it seemed that someone was really sick because of the sudden cold weather.

Although the provincial examination is held once every three years, it is a rare opportunity.

But under the torment of the illness, the examinee's face was already pale and somewhat ugly.

Finally, the examinee couldn't hold it any longer.

He stretched out his hand to greet the medical officer in the examination room.

Different from the county examination, prefecture examination and college examination, the township examination is much more formal.

Therefore, some medical officers will be arranged in the examination room to deal with emergencies.

So after the candidate stretched out his hand to greet the medical officer, someone immediately came in a hurry.

Not long after, the candidate who couldn't stop coughing was pulled out by several guards and followed the medical officer to another place.

I could only hear the coughing sound getting farther and farther away.

This examination area has finally regained its original silence.

Overthinking during the day has already consumed a lot of Huang Tinghui's energy.

Right now, his eyelids are constantly fighting.

I was so exhausted on the first day, and it became even more difficult to pass the next few exams.

No wonder some people call the Provincial Examination "three exams to make you become a ghost". This Provincial Examination not only tests people's talents and abilities, but also tests their physical strength!

If a candidate with poor physical strength takes the provincial examination, he will have to die half of his life?

You still need to recharge your batteries!

After all, I didn't come here to hang out in the examination room.

Only when you are successful in the examination and can rush to the capital to take part in the examination will you be considered successful!

Thinking like this, Huang Tinghui took a gentle breath.

After blowing out the candle that had been burning, his overwhelmed eyelids finally closed.

Fortunately, Huang Tinghui is not a bed-worn person. As long as he is given a place, he can have a good rest.

Even the candidates in other rooms who were snoring like thunder and with strong penetrating power could not have much impact on him.
