Back In Time For Imperial Examination Chapter 94

This is the real public execution...

Ryan Cui immediately raised his sleeves to cover his face, wanting only to run back to the study. As for whether anyone there knew that his essay was posted on the wall outside, he could not care less. Even if someone knew, would it be more embarrassing than hearing people praise him in person for his excellent solution, and using his essay to overshadow those senior students who had been doing eight-legged essays for many years?

He lowered his head and covered his face, and ran away, but he still couldn't outrun the exaggerated voice of the person behind him: "The phrase 'use the middle to the extreme' is well used! Confucius said 'follow the advanced', probably because the literature of the Zhou Dynasty was too superficial and extravagant, so he wanted to reduce the excess and go to the middle. The Doctrine of the Mean says 'hold the two ends and use the middle for the people', which is exactly the right way to start the topic!"

Not only is it more outshining, but it also comes with comments. How shameful!

He ran back to the study, stuffed the basket of rice dumplings into the arms of Zhang Zhaizhang, asked him to distribute them to everyone, and rushed out without looking back. He covered his face and went to the East Lecture Hall next to Yilun Hall, where he found a place where no one would notice him and lay down on the table.
