Destiny Koi, I'm cheating after rebirth

Chapter 372: College Examination in Progress (3)

We have to admit that Qian Zhitai has an extremely tough and strong heart, and this psychological quality is truly admirable.

Faced with such a tense examination environment and tremendous pressure, he was able to remain calm.

When this thought flashed through his mind, he took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and pulled out another piece of snow-white paper from the table at amazing speed, ready to start answering the questions.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already noon.

At this time, the staff in the venue held up a sign that read "Quickly copy" and walked back and forth to ensure that every scholar could see it. This instruction was like a thunderclap, exploding in the ears of every scholar.

The meaning is self-evident - urging them to carefully and meticulously copy the draft answers they had prepared onto the formal answer sheet as soon as possible. After hearing this instruction, all the scholars did not dare to be negligent, and took action one after another, arranging their own manuscripts in an orderly manner, and then concentrating on copying the answers stroke by stroke onto the answer sheet.

According to the regulations, all answers must be written in neat and dignified regular script, and the draft paper used for writing must be submitted after the exam.

As time passed, it was already Shenshi.

The staff in the venue once again held up a conspicuous sign with three big characters written on it: "Hand in your papers quickly!"

Obviously, this is a reminder for all scholars to speed up and submit the completed answer sheets in time.

After completing the final transcription work, the scholars carefully peeled off the slips with their names printed on them and kept them properly so that they could be used as strong evidence in the future.

Next, they will leave their own handwriting on the answer sheet with their seat numbers written on it, and finally hand over this answer sheet carrying their hopes and dreams to the staff responsible for receiving it at the venue.

When the scholars successfully complete the above steps and hand in their answer sheets, they will receive a small and exquisite bamboo note from the relevant personnel, which is their pass to leave the examination room.

After getting the small note, the scholars needed to walk out of the slightly narrow door and put the note in their hands into a specially set up basket.

It is worth noting that once you step out of the small door, no one is allowed to return to the original seat.

In order to ensure the rigor and fairness of the entire process, the staff in the examination room also need to continuously count and verify the number of answer sheets and bamboo slips, and make sure that the number of the two is exactly the same to avoid any errors or loopholes, so as to prevent individual scholars from taking the opportunity to stay in the examination room and disrupt the order.

When the number of people walking out of that small door reached about fifty, the Imperial Examination Hall would open its spacious and solemn gate and allow the students to file out.

Usually, the first group of people to leave the examination room is at the time of Shenshi.

At the same time, three loud blank shots will resound through the sky, as if announcing to the whole world the end of this important exam.

In general, the entire process of the imperial examination in Da Qi was designed to be extremely rigorous and meticulous.

In order to ensure that the person taking the county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination is indeed the same person, relevant personnel need to compare the answer sheets of the county examination and prefectural examination with those of the academy examination and carefully check the handwriting of the candidates.

This practice is vividly called the "three-in-one test".

Once any inconsistency in handwriting is discovered, the candidate will be immediately arrested by the government and asked to explain the truth.

Before this, Gu Qingzhi had listened to his father's detailed account of the specific procedures for the college entrance examination.

So she knew very well that when the Shen time came, a group of scholars would be the first to step out of the examination room.

She secretly speculated that her brother was most likely one of the first people to walk out of the examination room.

Therefore, when the time came to noon, she began to cling to her father tightly, and acted like a spoiled child, saying that she wanted to go and welcome her brother back.

Gu Cheng thought about it for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

In fact, deep down in his heart, he also believed that with his nephew's real talents and knowledge, he should be one of the first candidates to leave at Shenshi.

However, "Qing'er, let's take a carriage. After all, we still don't know exactly when they will show up. We probably need to wait for a while!"

Hearing what her father said, Gu Qingzhi suddenly understood.

Yes, if you have to wait for a long time, it will definitely be more comfortable to sit in a carriage.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

Thinking of this, she quickly told Aunt Qin to prepare some hot water, oh, and the delicious snacks she had just made.

So she told Aunt Qin,

"Auntie, please help me carefully pack the snacks I made this morning. I'll give them to my brother to fill his stomach first."

Because she knew in her heart that at noon, her brother would have just dealt with the matter in a perfunctory manner.

After all, in the examination room, everyone is racing against time and concentrating on answering questions. How can they have the leisure to enjoy delicious food?

Aunt Qin nodded quickly, skillfully put the snacks into the bag, and then filled a pot with steaming water. With a kind smile on her face, she said, "Madam, you really know how to cherish your brother!"

This is true, Gu Qingzhi has indeed considered everything very carefully.

Outside the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall were all kinds of carriages parked, and the area was crowded with anxious people, all of whom were eagerly hoping that their children could get out of the Hall safely.

However, at present, the number of people coming to greet us is much less than that in the morning.

At the Gu family, after Gu Lin and Ji Wenzhen escorted Gu Yan, they hurried out to do some errands and have not returned yet.

Aunt Qin and Xiao Tao stayed at the mansion to prepare food for dinner.

So there were only four people in the carriage at the moment - Gu Cheng, Gu Qingzhi, Yaoguang and Kaiyang who were responsible for driving.

When Gu Qingzhi saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a sense of novelty in her heart.

With her keen observation skills, Yaoguang quickly found an ideal parking spot, ensuring that her master would be able to spot her carriage as soon as he walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall.

Gu Qingzhi sat steadily in the carriage and gently rolled up a small corner of the curtain.

In this way, as soon as her brother left the Imperial Examination Hall, she would be able to catch sight of him the first time.

Just at this moment, the first quarter of the afternoon had arrived, and three deafening cannon shots were heard from above the Imperial Examination Hall.

Then, the ancient and heavy gate of the Imperial Examination Hall began to slowly open...
