A car accident, our family of three crossed

Coincidentally, the chief examiner of this imperial examination was the chief examiner of Pingyang County during the academy examination.

His originally solemn eyes began to glance over there involuntarily when he saw Hang Shuheng enter.

Especially when he glanced at the backpack that Hang Shuheng was carrying, the solemnity in his eyes was no longer obvious, but instead there was a hint of resentment.

He was extremely impressed by this student, who won the top spot in the college examination.

However, at this moment, when he saw him for the first time, the first thought in his mind was not his talent and ranking, but the tempting aroma of food that filled the entire courtyard during the academy examination.

At the beginning, after the college entrance examination was over, he even asked someone to find out where the food that student brought was bought from, so that he could buy some back to taste.

But after asking around, I found out that those things are not available on the market at all. It is said that they were all made by the student himself.

I glanced at the backpack on the man's back again. I wondered what delicious food he had brought this time. It was really disgusting.

Hang Shuheng felt a strong gaze directed at him, and when he turned around, he met the gaze of an official sitting in the main seat.

Hang Shuheng recognized this official; he was the chief examiner of the academy examination.

He was the top scorer in the academy examination, so it was not surprising that an official would notice him. However, the resentful look in their eyes made him a little confused.

Out of politeness, he bowed to the other party from a distance, then carried his luggage and went to find his seat.

The examiner snorted inwardly, glared at his back as he turned away before looking away.

That evening, at the designated time for lunch, when Hang Shuheng came out to fetch water and coal, the examiner glanced at him with an ambiguous look.

It’s coming. What is supposed to come will eventually come.

After Hang Shuheng left, the chief examiner kindly reminded the officials who were accompanying the examiner, "Everyone, while you have nothing to do now, you should have dinner early!"

The examiners thought he was just hungry, so they joked, "Master Liao, it's still early! Are you hungry so soon?"

The advantage of being an examiner is that they don't have to complete tasks such as eating, going to the toilet, and washing up within a designated time like the candidates. They can eat whenever they are hungry.

Seeing that they all didn't care, the examiner didn't say much, but asked someone to bring food. Although he was not very hungry at the moment, he had to fill his stomach before the tempting aroma wafted out.

When the other examiners saw that the chief examiner had finished his meal quietly, they felt it was not appropriate to delay any further and simply had someone deliver meals to him as well.

However, just as they were about to start eating, a strong and tempting aroma of food wafted from somewhere and filled the entire courtyard.

"Hmm? What's that smell? Why does it smell so good?"

"I smell it too."

The examiners thought that their meals were different and that the smell was coming from other people’s meals.

So, they looked at each other's plates, and then compared them with the other people's meals. They were all the same! There was no difference, so the fragrance could only have come from the examinees.

The smell was too strong and overbearing. Even if one didn't want to, one couldn't resist it from entering one's nostrils.

After smelling such delicious food, the examiners looked at the food in front of them and suddenly lost their appetite. How could anyone eat this?

The chief examiner, who had already filled his stomach, looked at the constipated expressions of the other examiners and immediately became amused. He chuckled and said, "I told you to eat early."

Oh! How wonderful! Finally someone has experienced the same frustration as he once experienced.

"Lord Liao, have you anticipated this?"

"Yes! Lord Liao, why don't you explain it clearly?"

If they had known earlier, they would not have procrastinated and would not have prepared to eat until now. As a result, they were tempted by the fragrance in the air and suddenly felt that their meal did not taste good.

The examiner named Liao didn't care about the complaints of the other examiners at all. He was in a very happy mood at the moment, as if there was finally someone who shared his joys and sorrows.

After finally convincing themselves to accept the meal, the examiners quickly finished their meal without any appetite. When they were about to drink some tea to relieve the greasiness, a refreshing tea fragrance wafted over. Just by smelling it, they knew it was high-quality tea.

Everyone's faces suddenly turned ugly again. They looked down at the tea brewed from the coarse tea in their hands and decided to just drink plain water.

What kind of monsters are these students who are taking the imperial examination? They either bring good meat and vegetables or good tea. How can they have the leisure to spend their time eating and drinking tea at such a tense moment?

By the next day, the examiners had learned from their experience and filled their stomachs early at the designated meal time.

Sure enough, just after they had eaten, the tempting aroma of food wafted out again, making them really greedy.

In order to find out which candidate wrote the work, all the examiners suddenly went down to inspect the work, and even the chief examiner, Lord Liao, was no exception.

Lord Liao knew where Hang Shuheng was, so without thinking, he walked slowly towards the row where Hang Shuheng was, and pretended to glance inside casually as he passed by.

Wow, even braised pork is included.

A lot of saliva immediately secreted from his mouth. Lord Liao swallowed it expressionlessly and went to inspect somewhere else.

It would not have mattered if I hadn't inspected them, but once I did, I found that Hang Shuheng was not the only candidate who ate so well, there were two other candidates who did the same.

Looking closely at what those two people were eating, it was exactly the same as Hang Shuheng's, even the jars and pots were of the same style.

Lord Liao frowned. This was strange. The luggage of these three people seemed to come from the same place. Could it be that they were all from Pingyang County?

Hang Shuheng and the others had no idea that because they ate and drank so well, they had become the most conspicuous people in the examination room in just one day.

Not only did he attract much attention from examiners, but he also received strong resentment from the candidates around him.
