Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 242

After the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the banquet in the palace ended, but the Jinyiwei drama arranged by Eunuch Gao was about to begin.

Xu and Liu, the two presiding scholars, were both serious people. They did not like to watch operas, but they did not restrict the talented scholars in the academy. They just reminded them: "This opera is being publicized with great fanfare. People all over the city are going to watch it. There may even be censors involved. If you go, you must respect your status and do not make up any romantic crimes that will offend the officials and censors."

All the scholars, readers, lecturers, editors, reviewers, and even the court officials all agreed and promised that they would only eat and drink and listen to new plays there at night and would never do anything to bring shame to the Hanlin Academy.

They listened to the opera singing in the garden that still belonged to the Huang family in Nanguan, so they were sure that the atmosphere inside was as lively and intense as the two elections in Ju'anzhai, with the whole garden crowded with people. Not to mention that there were no singing girls in the garden, even if there were, they were so busy queuing up to vote that they couldn't keep up, so who would have time for fun!

Everyone brought new clothes and sachets from home, and some even sprinkled perfume on themselves. The originally solemn and dignified official hall seemed to be celebrating the New Year, and the officials dressed in colorful clothes decorated it with festive colors.
