The provincial examination cannot be handed in in advance, and the soldiers in each examination hall are strictly guarded, and the examination hall is surrounded by thorns, and the gate will not be opened until the end of the examination.

Liu Chenxing put down the pen like a god, and wrote all the test questions on the straw paper in one go, seeing that there was too much time today, in case she was completely sitting in the examination room and waiting, she stopped her pen, took off the rabbit fur gloves brought from her hometown, scooped a cup of hot water from the bowl on the stove for herself, and then covered it in the palm of her hand, and began to check it word by word from beginning to end to ensure that nothing was lost.

Liu Chenxing checked every silent fill-in-the-blank sentence very carefully, and compared all the similar sentences one by one to make sure that there was no filling error by Zhang Guan and Li Dai.

As a result, more time is spent checking than time answering questions on straw paper.

Seeing this, the people who were shocked by Liu Chenxing's hard work couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and saw that the other candidates were all frowning and meditating, and they all seemed to be similar to themselves, and everyone felt that the question was difficult.

Rest assured, the feeling of being cold and sleepy came, and then seeing that it was already lunch, the crowd no longer wronged themselves, especially watching Liu Chenxing drink slowly with hot water, they didn't feel that they wanted to eat something, so they took out the prepared dry food to eat.

The female lifters in the examination room where Liu Chenxing is located are all female apprentices who do not need to go through the county and state examinations, and the male lifters in the opposite examination room are also mostly apprentices, they are all masters with good family backgrounds, and the dry food they bring is naturally good, all kinds of small red and gold boxes are opened, there are delicate snacks, and there are also slices of thinly cut dried meat, which are easy to swallow with cold water, plus these are high-calorie foods, even if they are cold food, people gradually have a sense of warmth.

All of a sudden, everyone began to eat.

Liu Chenxing ate early, listened to the sound of eating from all around, and did not feel hungry, just finished checking the answers on the straw paper, just waiting for the transcription of the test paper, she put the test paper and the straw paper aside, and began to eat lunch.

The weather is cold and hungry fast, I ate a meal at noon today, and I can't eat until I go home after the test after dark, and the pasta is solid and the best way to resist hunger, so even if I eat mutton noodle soup, Liu Chenxing still plans to eat this for lunch.

Condensed into a lump of mutton fat, boiled and sliced mutton, coated with gray dough, put into another clay bowl together, then poured water, sprinkled with a few grains of coarse salt and pepper, boiled on the stove for a while, and in less than a quarter and a half, the hot mutton noodle soup was cooked.

took out another piece of coarse cloth and brought it to the table with the cooking pottery bowl, and Liu Chenxing hurriedly ate it while it was hot.

Sure enough, the mutton soup and pepper are the most compatible, not only the taste is enough, but also hot, eat a few bites, from head to toe are hot, the only not very beautiful is that the pepper is too expensive at this time, and it would be better if it was cheaper.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without contrast.

The original extravagant dessert was soft and delicious, but compared to this hot and flavorful mutton dumpling, it was instantly a little difficult to swallow.

And in the courtyard of Liu Qingshan's examination room, the male township who prepared dry Babahu cakes and steamed cakes, watching Liu Qingshan eat a bowl of hot mutton dumplings to breathe inhale, the taste in his mouth is even more indescribable, and he can only hope that the foodies who eat mutton dumplings in the examination room will be eliminated in the first post.

But this kind of lazy man who eats and sleeps should be eliminated in the first game, right? After all, this year's post test is so tricky.

However, things in the world often backfire, the first post test because the questions were too biased, did eliminate one-fifth of the people, and the female candidates were eliminated more than half, but the brothers and sisters who ate and slept well in the examination room still appeared again in the second essay test.

The literati have always been light, and the literati nowadays have a very high self-esteem, compared to the scriptures that can only be passed by hard memorization, for the second essay test, which requires literary talent, all the people are very confident, and a poem is a fu, and it is easily completed.

It is estimated that the answer is smooth, and the mood is good, and I am not disgusted to see Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan's brother and sister eating and sleeping again, after all, in the second exam, many candidates have brought leather mattresses to cover their bodies, and brought stoves and charcoal fires to start a fire to boil water for cooking.

It's just that the people of the time respect the "gentleman is far away from cooking", and the vast majority of the township tributes who have been tested step by step are not very good at living at home, as for the apprentices from the official school, there are servants around them to saddle the front and horse, where will they make their own fire to cook, not to mention that this is a crucial provincial test site, who is so idle and wastes time to satisfy the appetite?

In the end, only a handful of a dozen or twenty people succeeded in following suit, and most of them mainly boiled a sip of hot water, as for the mutton soup or dumplings that seemed to be very troublesome.

Who knew that this pair of foodie brothers and sisters had good luck in the exam, and most of them were eliminated in the second essay test, but they were still there, and even intensified their efforts to cook cured meat and steamed rice on the stove, making the whole exam yard smell fragrant rice.

Eun, compared to pasta, is still the most delicious rice for her, especially this claypot rice steamed with pork belly cured pork belly in a stoneware bowl.

Liu Chenxing cleanly scooped up the pot with marinated pork lard at the bottom of the bowl, and then stuffed the last spoonful of rice into his mouth, and suddenly his happy eyes narrowed, and two small dimples appeared on his cheeks.

This is the end of the lunch, the conditions are limited, only the empty dishes and chopsticks into the bamboo bag, should have eaten enough to take a nap, in order to maintain more energetic answers, but today is the third policy test, but also the provincial examination of the three most important exams, the real test school to deal with government affairs and all aspects of the understanding ability, it takes a lot of energy and time to answer the questions.

Therefore, Liu Chenxing had to give up a short rest and concentrate on answering the questions.

Probably because the imperial examination wanted to select talents with practical ability, so this provincial examination encountered the question of criminal law.

Liu Chenxing stared at it, and saw the book on the scroll:

Like the five stars and seven nights, the law is better than the gold, what is the punishment? Deeply confused. The order to sell the lord for money, the law of the Yue official court, the law of knowing the slander, directly pointing to Xia Lan's envoy, I don't know who makes it? Mo Wei's reason. Because of the play and the rod, his people are dead, untie the fight and touch the blade, and bow down from the son, if there is such a flow, what will be the desire? The husband and wife face are the subject of the great opening; Women fight the ears of the girl, from the theory of reducing death. What is decided, is it safe to be safe? Bao Yu's murder in the East China Sea, Chen Zhong's request for Yingchuan, if it gains or losses, can it also be heard?

Compared with the criminal law problems encountered in the Yongzhou State Examination, this question is obviously more than a star and a half, and it is no longer a general point of view, but a question about specific legal knowledge and case handling, and requires the test taker to give specific solutions.
