Just today, the Son of Heaven announced the two examiners for this examination.

One is the current Ministry of Rites Shangshu Cheng Ran, and the other is Wang Hao, a university scholar.

Xu Hanliang has not heard of the names of these two, presumably because the two have not left their names in history.

The meeting was held in the Gongin Temple, southeast of Tokyo, and the entrance examination was much stricter than the township examination.

If the examination becomes a tribute, the palace examination will be held a month later.

Emperor Huizong obviously didn't pay much attention to the imperial examination, and now he still prays for immortality in Taoist temples.

Although he didn't know if he could pass the test this time, he really wanted to know what kind of strange questions Song Huizong would ask if he held a palace test?

For this alone, Xu Hanliang also wanted to work a little harder to see if he could try his luck and be admitted to a tribute.

Xu Hanliang waited in the inn for about an hour, until Lin Yuhu came back.

Xu Hanliang casually asked where she went, but she ignored her, as if someone owed her millions.

In the next few days, Xu Hanliang turned his ears to what was going on outside the window, and only read the books of sages.

For him, he can also endure loneliness, not to mention that it is only a few days.

Li Zhongwen, who is in the same room with himself, has begun to rot in the past few days.

In addition to participating in any banquet every day, it is to participate in any poetry meeting.

Those who still had time to participate in the poetry meeting before the imperial examination can actually imagine what kind of level they are.

Xu Hanliang naturally didn't say much about this, after all, everyone has their own ambitions.

And he also knew that Li Zhongwen had already been lucky when he came here.

My father is locked up in a prison in Tokyo, and as Fan Lao said before, he was sentenced to be sent to Cangzhou Prison City this time.

But in a short period of time, it should not be gone.

So Xu Hanliang was going to wait until the imperial examination was over to see him.

If you can bring him some good news, it will be better, if not, it doesn't matter.

……

Time flies, and soon it is the day of the test.

Outside the Tribute Courtyard, it was already crowded with people.

Among these students waiting outside, there are shabbyly dressed Hanmen and nobles who wear gold and silver.

In the imperial examination, it seems that the barriers of this class have been broken in a short time.

Whether it is a nobleman or a poor family, they all regard the imperial examination as something that changes the fate of their lives.

On the day of the exam, basically several people Xu Hanliang knew in Tokyo came to take the exam.

"I think you haven't eaten in the morning, so you've made some things, and if you don't dislike it, then you'll be fine."

Lin Yuhu handed the food box in his hand to Xu Hanliang, and seemed to be a little shy.

Thinking of Lin Yuhu's indifferent attitude towards himself two days ago, now he has become enthusiastic again.

This made Xu Hanliang feel puzzled, and he didn't know what this stupid girl was doing.

"Thank you."

Xu Hanliang took the food box and spoke.

"I'll bring you food in the next two days, so you can take the exam with peace of mind."

Lin Yuhu nodded, his face a little blushing.

The reason why Lin Yuhu was angry a few days ago was very simple, it was because she knew that Xu Hanliang actually went to a place like Qinglou.

It's not because of this period of contact that he has any feelings.

It's just that people who have been to these places are not good men.

So these days, she and Xu Hanliang met by chance, and when Xu Hanliang greeted her, she didn't pay attention to it at all.

After meeting Miss Shangchun later, I learned about Xu Hanliang.

The original dissatisfaction with Xu Hanliang was instantly transformed into a kind of worship.

In her opinion, Xu Hanliang is like those heroes in his own mouth, helping the poor and not sitting still.

"Xu Hanliang, you will try this time, not only for yourself, but also for me."

Chong Xiuwen squeezed to the front and said to Xu Hanliang with a straight face.

"For you?"

Xu Hanliang was a little puzzled.

"My father said that I usually make some fox friends and dog friends, even if you don't do it for yourself, for me, you have to take the test well, so that when I return home in the future, I also have the capital to show off, at least I have a friend who reads, not a prodigal on the streets of Tokyo."

Chong Xiuwen said seriously.

"I'll go to you, you remember to get the warehouse, the store, and everything these days."

Xu Hanliang rolled his eyes, didn't say much, and walked into the tribute courtyard with the flow of people.

"How do I feel, what did I forget?"

Chong Xiuwen looked at Xu Hanliang's back and scratched his head.

"Forgot something?"

Lin Yuhu was slightly stunned.

"I don't remember much either......"

Chong Xiuwen thought about it, and finally shook his head.

At the same time, Li Zhongwen in the hall was sleeping soundly.

……

There are three sessions in total, and each session will be held for two to three days.

During these two or three days, all the food, drink, and lazar of the students were basically all in the examination compartment.

Of course, the Gongyuan will definitely provide basic food, clothing, shelter and transportation.

Anyway, after knowing the news, Xu Hanliang felt very speechless.

For two or three days, if he stays in such a small cubicle, he will definitely suffocate to death.

And there is no rule for submitting papers in advance, so he can only bring some more paper in.

So bringing these papers, in fact, I want to use my spare time to write the "Dream of Red Mansions" that I had thought of before.

The first test is also the scriptures, but relatively speaking, the number of scriptures and meanings this time can even be called massive.

Many of the questions are basically on the middle side, and compared with the previous township exam, the difficulty is indeed more than a little bit bigger.

However, because I had memorized the exam questions of Jingyi in advance, I was relatively familiar with Xu Hanliang's writing.

In three days, he completed the exam paper in just one day.

The rest of the time is used to open a new pit "Dream of Red Mansions".

In fact, before writing "Dream of Red Mansions", Xu Hanliang didn't know if this novel would bring him any trouble.

After all, the plots in it, and even those sentences, are indeed a little too deviant.

But Xu Hanliang himself is a red fan, since he has thought about it, he will simply write it down.

In the remaining two days, Xu Hanliang wrote down all the previous five chapters of the plot of Dream of Red Mansions.

After the exam, Xu Hanliang felt that his old bones were about to harden.

He has almost a day's rest to help them adjust.

When this day's rest time has passed, they will stay in the tribute courtyard for three days in a row.
