The second game begins

Before the start of the second exam, Sheng Yuan, who was queuing up in front of the Gongyuan Gate, had already adapted to her status as a candidate. As she waited to enter the exam room this time, she had long since lost the detached trance from the previous time, and was replaced by a confident mind. Calm.

No, she was in the mood to take stock of the environment around Gongyuan.

It can be said that the scale of Kyoto Gongyuan completely fits the prefix "Kyoto"!

In short, two words - style!

Kyoto Gongyuan is located in the southeast of Kyoto. The entire building still follows the construction principle of facing south and consists of two parts, the inner and outer parts.

Obviously, the interior of Gongyuan is the examination room where Shengyuan answered questions before, while the external buildings include watchtowers, gates, archways and walls in the four directions of east, west, north and south with Gongyuan as the center.

The place where Shengyuan is located is within the external structure of Gongyuan.

"I'm so sleepy! I entered the examination room today. Apart from anything else, I just need to take a nap first!"

Hearing a candidate yawn behind him, Sheng Yuan also yawned.

Wiping away the tears from yawning, Sheng Yuan's eyes lingered on the plaque in the middle of the gate of Gongyuan.

Then, he moved away from the plaque with the words "Gongyuan" written on it and looked at the archways on the east and west sides.

Sheng Yuan looked at the words "Select scholars for the Ming Dynasty" and "Seeking talents for the country" written on it, and thought to herself, my future virtuous minister is here now!

As soon as she thought this, the door of Gongyuan opened.

The entrance method was no different from the first exam. Sheng Yuan followed the procedure happily.

After the inspection by the prosecutor, Sheng Yuan followed the team into the examination building, well, it was also the dormitory that people often call it, when the building in the distance called "Mingyuan Building" attracted her attention.

The dormitory where Shengyuan is located is the same as Mingyuan Building on the south side of Gongyuan. On both sides are the dormitories for candidates to take exams.

This area sounds very spacious, but in fact, the Mingyuan Building and the residence are only one-third of the main structure of the Gongyuan.

The other two-thirds are respectively the Zhigong Hall and the Outer Curtain Gate, which deal with outer curtain affairs, and the core building of the entire Gongyuan, the "Jukuitang".

When Sheng Yuan passed by Jukui Hall, she took a few more curious glances.

This is where the examiner and fellow examiners review the exam papers!

I don’t know how she did in her first game.

With this thought in mind, Sheng Yuan walked into her examination room.

It's still the old rule, the hired servants come over first to help clean up, and then deliver water and charcoal.

As for Sheng Yuan himself, he was very familiar with the things he would need in the next three days.

Of course, except for those with insufficient mentality, most of the candidates in the room were like Sheng Yuan, and they developed a sense of ownership in the small dormitory.

Overall, these changes have made the atmosphere in the examination room shift from nervous and fearful to stable and calm.

Of course, there are people with a bad mentality everywhere. No, as soon as Sheng Yuan sat down on the chair and planned to stare for a while, she heard bursts of noise coming from outside the examination room.

When stretchers passed by one after another, Sheng Yuan realized from the muttering words of the guards outside that these old candidates with white hair and beards had fainted again.

There is no mistake, the added word "and" is completely accurate!

Because they had left the exam midway due to various reasons.

[Sister Yuan, I haven’t even taken the exam yet, but I’m already dizzy! If that’s the case, why don’t you line up to enter the venue? Isn’t it troublesome?!]

"They probably... either did too well in the previous test, or they didn't do well in that test."

Sheng Yuan felt that as long as this group of people had the possibility to "give it a try", they might be able to survive until the exam is over.

Only when you know it's impossible and can't explain it when you go back, you would make such a fuss.
