Qin Guan's hot pot was confiscated.

The reason is that it affects other candidates.

Even the mutton, vegetables, and even sesame paste had been taken away. Qin Guan seriously doubted whether these patrol officials would use his hot pot for a late-night snack or something.

Anyway, he was full and Qin Guan decided to sleep.

Qin Guan spread out the quilt and slept peacefully, while most of the other students lit candles and pulled their hair to think hard about how to answer the questions.

The next day, Qin Guan used scratch paper to write the questions for another day.

Unfortunately, there was no hot pot today, so Qin Guan could only ask for a pot of hot water and eat the braised vegetables and waffles he brought to satisfy his hunger.

The next night, Qin Guan went to bed early again. In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a loud noise. Someone in the distance was roaring loudly like a madman, and kept shouting. After a while, the patrol officials came

He ran in and scolded the students who were getting up: "Answer the questions when they should be answered, sleep when they should be, and no one is allowed to make any noise."

Qin Guan knew that there was probably another person who was driven crazy by the imperial examination.

During the day on the third day, although Qin Guan did not think as hard as other candidates, he still felt very tired. The feeling of being trapped in a small space also made Qin Guan very uncomfortable.

He finally understood why some people went crazy.

Being in a narrow space and claustrophobic environment can make people feel very uncomfortable and depressed. Coupled with the huge ideological pressure, those with weak minds are likely to go crazy.

"Bang bang bang."

There was a sound of cloud panels knocking in the distance.

A time announcer shouted: "There is still one last hour. Candidates please hurry up and answer the questions. It's the last hour."

At this time, someone next to me exclaimed: "Oh, why do you only have one hour? I still have a question I haven't thought about yet. I can't do it anymore. I'll write it down first."

"..."

"Boom, boom, boom!" The gong sounded.

"When the exam time comes, all candidates will put down their pens and stop answering. If there is any violation, it will be considered a disciplinary violation and the results will be cancelled."

Not long after, the examiners came over and began to collect the test papers. Their names were anonymized on the spot. Qin watched his test papers being put into the bamboo box and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Finally the exam is over.

Carrying his belongings and following the flow of people out of the Gongyuan, Qin Guan felt a sense of relief. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he shouted loudly: "Master, Master, we are here."

Xiong's big and thick body squeezed through the crowd, causing repeated complaints, but he ignored it and rushed straight towards Qin Guan, followed by the short Erbao.

Xiong Da took the things from Qin Guan's hand, and Erbao stepped forward to greet him: "Master, you have suffered a lot. It lasted three days and two nights after you entered. We come here to wait for you every day. You don't know, during the exam period

Three of them were caught by the officers and soldiers, and they are said to be cheating, and one was driven out last night, and they are said to be crazy."

Qin Guan didn't feel annoyed by Er Bao's chattering, but was rather friendly to him.

"Where's brother, are you out yet?"

"I came out, a little earlier than the young master. By the way, young master, there are some of your friends over there. They said they were waiting for you to come out and asked you to come over." Erbao said.

Qin Guan followed Erbao and walked over,

It was found that the eldest brother Qin Wei was standing and chatting with Shen Yichen, Lin Yuan, and Zhu Peng. Everyone saw Qin Guan come out. Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Brother Shaoyou, you came out. We were talking about how difficult the test questions are this time. You

How does it feel."

Qin Guan thought about it and decided not to show off. He shook his head and said, "It's indeed a bit difficult, but I finally answered it."

Zhu Peng said: "These three days and two nights are indeed difficult. Why don't we go to the Qinhuai River tomorrow and rent a boat to relax and relax? What do you think?"

"Okay, that's exactly what it should be."

"Then it's settled that we'll get together tomorrow."

They were indeed tired, and raised their hands to say goodbye, ready to go back and have a good sleep. Qin Guan and Qin Wei boarded the carriage and returned to the Qin Mansion.

At this time, Qin Zhang had returned home from get off work and was waiting for his two sons in the living room. When he saw the two sons coming back, Qin Zhang said: "I have asked my servants to prepare hot water for you. You should take a shower to freshen up first. We will talk about anything later."

He didn't take a shower for two days and soaked his body in a hot water bucket. Qin Guan felt really comfortable. The maid of the Qin Mansion carefully rubbed his back. Qin Guan felt drowsy. After bathing, he changed into clean clothes and the two brothers came

main hall.

Food has been laid out in the main hall, and drinks have been prepared today. The servants poured the drinks, and Qin Zhang said: "You can finish the exam smoothly, which is worthy of celebration. Let us, father and son, have a drink first."

Qin Guan and Qin Wei said in unison: "Thank you, father."

After drinking, Qin Zhang asked: "Wei'er, how do you feel about this year's test questions and how did you answer them? Are you confident?"

Hearing Qin Zhang's words, Qin Wei frowned slightly, put down his chopsticks and said: "My father once asked me to do the exam questions for the last two sessions. In comparison, I feel that this year's exam questions are more difficult than the previous years, and the child is not very confident.

.”

Qin Zhang nodded, "I also got this year's test questions before I came back. This year's general examination questions are indeed a bit difficult. Don't be discouraged. You may not fail the test. In fact, it's normal even if you fail.

There are a few, just study hard and take the exam again in three years."

"You are still young now. You are only 22 years old. You can take the exam for a few more times. If you fail the exam again when you are 35, we will consider finding you an official position at that time."

After Qin Zhang finished speaking to Qin Wei, he looked at Qin Guan who was eating and drinking, and asked: "Guan'er, how did you do in the exam?"

Qin Guan hadn't eaten well in the past two days, and now he felt that the food on this table was very delicious. He happened to be a little hungry, so he ignored what his father and elder brother said and ate alone.

After hearing his father's question, Qin Guan said solemnly: "Father, I think I did well in the exam and I should be able to pass it."

Qin Zhang was stunned when he heard what Qin Guan said, and then his face darkened: "Where do you get the confidence? Your knowledge is not as good as your elder brother, so you dare to say that you will pass the exam."

"Father, I am the type of person who improvises on the spot. I think I answered the questions quite smoothly this year, so I should be somewhat confident." Qin Guandao.

Qin Guan thought to himself that he had spent so much effort and mobilized all the strength of the country to complete this exam. If he couldn't pass it, then there was really nothing he could do.

Although Qin Guan was confident, Qin Zhang could not trust him.

Seeing Qin Guan's confident expression, Qin Zhang snorted and said, "Of course I hope you pass the exam. If you fail the exam this year, then you can stay here and I will personally teach you for three years."

Qin Guan was immediately confused and entered the fight.

If he really fails the exam, his future life will be miserable.

In the past two months, two scriptures a day and one strategy every two days had already made him want to die. If he continued like this for three years, Qin Guan would probably be squeezed dry.

At this time, Qin Wei came to his younger brother's rescue and said, "Father, some of my second brother's friends and I have invited us to go out for a spring outing tomorrow and relax a bit."
