Shen Cangzhu deliberately submitted his application before the deadline. After inspection by Taixue, he found that he met the registration requirements. The time was tight and he could not ask more questions, so he could only post a public notice first.
As soon as the announcement was posted, the news immediately went viral.
Everyone guessed that Shen Cangzhu would take the imperial examination, but they didn't expect that he would be so high-profile and vigorous.
Everyone was talking about it, and Shen Cantong couldn't help but smash the tea cup in his hand after hearing it.
"I knew he wouldn't settle down."
The two brothers had already fallen out, so how could Shen Cangtong allow Shen Cangzhu to grow up in the imperial examination? He made some preparations, thinking that when Shen Cangzhu returned to his ancestral home to take the exam, he would do some tricks to prevent him from taking the exam.
As a result, Shen Cangzhu had no intention of going back at all.
He immediately asked people to pay attention to Zhuyuan, thinking that no matter what, he could not let Shen Cangzhu take the exam safely.
But after waiting and waiting, the news was that Shen Cangzhu had not come back at all.
He seemed to know that he was going to do something, so he just avoided it.
All Shen Cangtong could do was do some small tricks at home, but not outside the house. After all, the punishment for harming candidates was very severe, and he couldn't cause public anger.
On the second day, Shen Cangzhu and the other three candidates showed up at Taixue on time and took the exam.
There is a specially built imitation examination room here at Taixue, which is only much more rigorous than the real children's examination.
The test papers were released overnight by several teachers from Taixue. It was very difficult to get the test papers out, and there were so many tests. It was even more difficult to cheat and get the test papers in advance.
This exam lasted for three full days. Shen Cangzhu could only squeeze out two hours to rest and sleep every night, while the rest was taking exams.
It sounds like the exam only lasts three days, but there are too many questions, and it usually takes six or seven days to complete them well.
Time is tight, and the content is difficult and numerous. It tests not only knowledge, but also mentality and speed.
After taking the exam for three days, Shen Cangzhu's writing hand left deep marks due to the brush.
After the exam, the three people's papers were corrected overnight. Shen Cangzhu returned to Zhuyuan and fell asleep.
The next day, Shen Cangzhu was awakened by Baopu's surprise voice in his sleep.
"Sir, you have been admitted. You are the only one among the three admitted."
Shen Cangzhu was shocked. After washing, he saw Shen Cangtong congratulating him with a smile on his face.
"Congratulations to Cangzhu. He became the third student to be admitted to Imperial College in this way. In just a few days, he became famous in Feng'an City."
"Thank you." Shen Cangzhu seemed not to notice the coldness in Shen Cangtong's eyes. After thanking him, he packed up his things and rushed directly to Taixue.
In order to ensure fairness and transparency, Taixue has copied the exam papers of the three of them and posted them on the bulletin board along with the announcement.
This is equivalent to a public execution. If you do well in the exam, you will be fine, but if you do poorly in the exam, you will be embarrassed and speechless.
Originally, after they finished the exam, the exam papers were made public, and everyone had a headache when they saw the exam questions.
After seeing Shen Cangzhu's answer sheet, everyone was convinced that he was indeed good enough to be admitted.
Much better than the other two candidates.
The other two candidates are actually very good, but they all have shortcomings. One candidate answered the questions very well, but unfortunately he only answered half of the questions.
The other one is a bit partial, and the parts he is good at are amazing, but his shortcomings are also obvious. Later, he may become confused and make mistakes.
Only Shen Cangzhu is as steady as an old dog and can withstand the test.
When Shen Cangzhu came to Taixue, the entrance was very lively. Some people even sat on the floor and started taking exams. Some people sighed.
"You are indeed talented, and it is normal for you to be admitted to Taipei University."
"It's just...he took part in the imperial examination. Will the Queen really use him? I heard from the Shen family that he was kicked out of the palace."
"Yeah, I guess the exam will be in vain."
"But he is indeed very powerful. You and I have both heard of Mr. Cangzhu's reputation back then."
Everyone was talking about everything, but Shen Cangzhu heard it but just pretended not to hear it.
He just wants to go faster and faster.
Men, just want to be quick.
On the same day, Shen Cangzhu reported that he had entered Taixue and became a Taixue student.
In addition to frequent supervision and assessment at Taixue, students must also undergo scientific examination selection. Only after passing the scientific examination selection can they continue to participate in the examination.
Shen Cangzhu was admitted to Taixue University and had to continue to participate in the scientific examination selection. Only after passing the examination can he continue.
She entered school on the same day, and the last scientific examination selection started on the second day. Shen Cangzhu continued to participate in the scientific examination selection.
It was another three days of exams. Baopu and Shouzhuo had never seen such a crazy exam and were worried.
But Shen Cangzhu also survived this exam. He took the time to rest every day when he had time, and survived the scientific examination selection.
The Provincial Examination was coming soon, so Taixue seized the time and made corrections overnight, and finally announced those who passed the Provincial Examination.
Shen Cangzhu is still qualified.
After only one day of rest, it was time for the provincial examination. There were three examinations in total. In each examination, admission was called and checked the day before the examination, and papers were handed in the next day.
The total time for the three exams is nine days.
On the eighth day of August, Shen Cangzhu entered the examination room carrying the examination basket under the gaze of a simple and humble person.
He also encountered the late bell on this day. Men and women were separated in the examination room. There were very few people in the female examination room, so it was easy to see the late bell.
Shen Cangzhu was stunned for a moment when he saw the sound of the bell, but he didn't expect to encounter it like this.
Because of Chu Xingchen's persuasion, Zhong Shengwan studied hard and became a scholar, and was qualified to take part in the provincial examination.
Before he could react, Zhong Shengwan had already turned his eyes indifferently.
Her attitude was indifferent, but Shen Cangzhu breathed a sigh of relief, because this time she was not cold-hearted.
Zhong Shengwan didn't frown coldly because she already knew about Shen Cangzhu's efforts.
When Shen Cangzhu and Zhong Shengwan were writing furiously in the examination room, Chu Xingchen in the palace was also talking about them.
"I didn't expect them to take the provincial examination together."
Chu Xingchen sighed with emotion, "I thought Shen Cangzhu would take the imperial examination next year, but I didn't expect him to work so hard and catch up in such a short time."
"If this continues, he might be able to take the Imperial Examination next March."
"Your Majesty, are you talking about Shen Cangzhu again?" Lingzhou's dissatisfied words came in.
"Before Shen Cangzhu was in the palace, you didn't mention him so many times. Why is it that now that he is out of the palace, he is even more powerful than when he was in the palace?"
Some people leave the palace, but their sense of presence is stronger than if they had not left the palace.
Lingzhou snorted, "I'm often busy too, why don't you see His Majesty talking about me?"
Chu Xingchen: "...Isn't this because I mentioned the provincial examination?"
Shen Cangzhu became a popular person in the news, so I worried about him when he left the palace. Then he did one thing after another, and it was difficult for people not to notice.
"You've mentioned him several times before. Isn't this just the smell of being near and the smell of being far away?"
Chu Xingchen: "...it smells bad when it's close, but it smells good when it's far away."
She hurriedly greeted Lingzhou for smoothies, and then talked to Zhou Buyan about the upcoming autumn harvest.
"Next, you have to pay more attention to the weather. The weather is very hot this year. I am afraid it will rain suddenly later. It will be bad if it happens just in time. The income for the year cannot be ruined by a rain."
Food has always been the foundation of a country and has always been the most important.
"Those who can collect it are doing their best to arrange it."
"Well, I really don't think something is right. Why don't you go help and collect it?"
"Yes." Zhou Buyan nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Your Majesty, don't worry about it."
Ling Zhou was listening and didn't know what to say. Thinking about the shadows in the past, they were all murderous beings without blood.
As a result, the current shadow leader has done everything, and he deserves to be so happy to help with the harvest.
Do you think that harvesting wheat by robbery is the same as cutting off human heads?
Think about it, maybe it's almost the same, maybe they're quite fast.
