Chapter 60
The little official was so startled by that speed that his eyeballs almost fell out, hmph, he really is an idiot.

Yi Shuihan threw the test paper in front of the little official, and said impatiently, "Can I go?"

The little official was not angry at Yi Shuihan's arrogant attitude, but just smiled sinisterly and pointed out the way out for Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan felt that the smile was ill-intentioned, but it had nothing to do with her, so he walked away ostentatiously.

The petty official picked up the test paper and hurried to the paper handing place to paste his name. He was very proud of himself. After he pasted his name and corrected the paper, he opened it and found out whose paper it was. Hmph, now let me see how you cheat!

As everyone knows, this erroneous oolong exam will cause disturbances all over the city.

Yi Shuihan was stunned as soon as she left the gate of the examination room, there were thousands of people staring at her outside the gate, what's the situation?
Those people looked at it for a long time before looking away, but from time to time they pretended to glance at Yi Shuihan inadvertently.

Yi Shuihan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave, but saw Gu Xiangrong pacing anxiously with a worried expression on his face.

"Xiang Rong, why are you here?"

Gu Xiangrong looked at the person in front of him in surprise, his eyes were full of astonishment, and he forgot to speak for a moment.

Yi Shuihan waved his fan in front of Gu Xiangrong, and said, "Xiangrong, are you stupid?"

Gu Xiangrong recognized the voice as soon as he heard it, and said in surprise: "You, you are Mr. Yi?"

Yi Shuihan put away the fan, almost forgot that she hadn't taken off the mask in front of Xiangrong, "Xiangrong, it's me."

Gu Xiangrong's mind turned back and forth, looking at Yi Shuihan in disbelief, it took him a long time to get used to it, and asked suspiciously: "Master Yi, why did you come out of the examination room?"

Yi Shuihan shrugged and said, "I got lost."

Gu Xiangrong was even more puzzled: "You can't just go in there, Mr. Yi, why did you get lost there?"

Yi Shuihan waved his hand, "It's a long story, so I won't mention it, but Xiangrong, why are you here?"

Gu Xiangrong was full of worry, and said, "I'm waiting for my brother to come out."

Yi Shuihan finally understood what was going on. These people were all waiting for someone: "Xiangrong, it seems that the exam doesn't end until dusk. Are you going to wait from noon until dusk?"

Gu Xiangrong explained: "No, I came before dawn, and I came with my brother."

What's the meaning?Yi Shuihan asked: "When did your brother enter the examination room?"

"Dawn." Gu Xiangrong said, doesn't Mr. Yi know that the imperial examination starts at dawn?
dawn?Exams start at dawn?Yi Shuihan was a little surprised, what kind of exam is this?The test starts at dawn and lasts until dusk. It takes almost one day?
"Xiang Rong, aren't you tired of waiting from dawn to now?"

"It's okay, Mr. Yi, what's the problem?" Gu Xiangrong was stunned, and Mr. Yi's expression seemed a little...

Yi Shuihan asked: "Have you had breakfast and lunch?"

Gu Xiangrong shook his head, "I don't even have the heart to eat."

"But there's no way for you to wait like this. Anyway, the exam doesn't end until dusk. Why don't you go have lunch with me first."

"Ah?..." Gu Xiangrong wanted to refuse, but was dragged away by Yi Shuihan.

……

Jinlou is one of the best restaurants in Ningcheng. It is lunch time now, and it is very lively. In addition, Jinlou's dishes are novel and unique in taste. Naturally, it is crowded with customers.

Yi Shuihan and Gu Xiangrong went upstairs and sat down by the window.

 PS: Some people commented that it is unreasonable to start the imperial examination in the early morning, so it was changed to dawn.But in fact, some imperial examinations in ancient times really started at midnight, and at dusk, candidates who entered the venue could receive 3 candles.Some people also commented on whether hedgehogs and sika deer are nationally protected animals, and they wrote it after checking the information.Although this book is fictitious, the questions of common sense have all been checked.
