Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 265

In August, Li Zhaoxian took the imperial examination.

After the three exams, he thanked the court for caring about the students and making the Imperial College so quiet and tidy: "The examination halls in the Imperial College are well built. The light is good when sitting in them, and it doesn't feel too hot. The smell is good too, unlike the Cui family's examination hall, which has a toilet next to the examination hall. The servants come and go and disturb people countless times."

The weather for this subject was good, with only a light drizzle in the second exam. During the exam, we put oilcloth on the ceiling and the door, so not a drop of rain splashed on the paper.

When he was doing the mock exam at Cui's house, the manager of Xie's house and the two Zhang uncles all came to help him, creating all kinds of exam accidents for him: there were several times when the papers were soaked in water or stained with ink, resulting in waste; rain, examiners patrolling the exam hall, and thunder and lightning were even more common; the two Zhang uncles even bought a special smoke-emitting incense burner for the stage, and simulated a fire in the exam hall, forcing him to escape from the exam room in an emergency - if he hadn't insisted on exercising over the years and had nimble legs and feet, he would have been able to climb over the wall at the critical moment and would have been scared to death by the sudden emission of cigarettes.

After these days of torture, before even entering the examination room, Li Caizi had already calmed down and was able to face the blow of failing calmly.
