Chapter 256: Expedition begins

  Chapter 256 The Scientific Examination Begins

   The scientific examination will be held in a few days. When the scientific examination is over, she will come to meet this person in the bamboo forest.

  Qiao Yi came to Ting Moxuan, Yan Ning and Zhao Qing had already arrived, and they were making the bed at this time.

   Seeing Qiao Yi coming, one of them handed Qiao Yi a copybook.

   "The teacher asked you to copy them before the science exam. You don't need to copy the copybook that Teacher Su gave you before."

   "The teacher is back?"

   "Well, but left again."

  Joy: "..."

   She didn't know what was going on, why did she feel like Xia Shuyue was avoiding her.

  With no one around, she had no place to ask, so she could only listen to the teacher and copy the copybook honestly.

  Opening the copybook, Joey was stunned.

  The two copybooks are half a foot thick, and the fonts are still different.

   But the content of the copybook is exactly the same.

  Seeing these two copybooks, Qiao Yi suspected that these two copybooks were specially customized for her.

   Otherwise, someone else’s copybook would be so thick, and there would be two copies.

   "Junior Sister, you don't need to worry about the food these few days. Now your task is to copy the copybook, and we will prepare the food for you."

   Yan Ning was afraid that Qiao Yi would not concentrate, so he asked worriedly.

   "Okay, okay, I don't care about anything, I just copy the copybook, and I have two senior sisters in my daily life."

   "It's easy to say, you'd better copy it quickly, you still have five days."

  Zhao Qing put the ground ink on Qiao Yi's table.

  For five days in a row, Qiao Yi didn't hear anything outside the window, and concentrated on copying the copybook.

  Aside from going to the bathroom, eating and sleeping, I spend the rest of the day copying.

  During this period, Qiao Yi wanted to take a good rest, but was pushed directly on the table by her two good senior sisters.

  No choice, Qiao Yi can only continue to copy.

  The benefits of such high-intensity study are not a little bit, at least Qiaoyi can read the calligraphy written by Qiao Yi.

  Tomorrow is the day to take part in the scientific examination.

  So Yan Ning and Zhao Qing kindly gave Qiao Yi half a day off, but at the same time gave Qiao Yi a task.

  Because the scientific examination takes three days and is still in the examination room, everyone needs to bring their own dry food.

  The task assigned to Qiao Yi is to help them prepare the dry food for these three days.

  Joy readily agreed, making dry food is her favorite thing to do.

  The scientific examination was on January 16th, and it was still very cold at this time. There was a stove for cooking for the students in the examination room, so Qiao Yi was not afraid that everyone would not be able to eat something warm.

  For convenience, Qiao Yi plans to make dumplings, freeze them overnight, and then cook them and eat them.

   Convenient and simple.

  As for herself, hehe, what would happen if she ate hot pot in the examination room?

  Thinking of this, Joey looked forward to this scientific examination even more.

  However, Joey felt a little pity when he thought that he had to hand in a blank paper.

  But for the sake of whether the suspicion in her heart is correct, she has to do this.

   Otherwise, she felt uneasy.

   Is the hand in the dark an enemy or a friend, and what is its purpose?

  This is what Joey desperately wants to know.

  Joy originally planned to go home, but after getting things ready, it was already dark.

   In desperation, Joey could only give up his plan to go home.

   In a blink of an eye, today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

   Snowflakes floated in the sky again.

  It seems to welcome the students to come to the exam.

   "Junior sister, don't rush to write, you must think about it before writing, you know? And the font must be clear. It's best to write a draft first, then extract it again, and then hand in the paper, understand?"

   Yan Ning asked worriedly while queuing up to enter the examination room.

"alright, I got it."

  Qiao Yi nodded obediently, thinking in her heart how would the elder sister feel if she knew that she was going to hand in a blank paper?

   "Junior sister, don't be nervous, relax, this is just a rural exam, the simplest exam, you can pass it easily."

   Zhao Qing was afraid that Qiao Yi would be nervous, so he said it in a relaxed tone.

   "Yeah, second senior sister, don't worry, I'm not nervous, I will take the exam seriously."

  Joy can be as well-behaved as she wants.

  What Yan Ning and Zhao Qing said, she nodded in agreement.

   Until entering the examination room, Joey found his own examination box.

  This examination room is about five square meters, about 100 square meters. The back and top are made of wood, the front is a table, the back is the aisle for the examiner to walk back and forth, and the opposite is another examinee.

  In a space of five square meters, although the sparrow is small, it has all internal organs.

  A one-meter-wide bed with bedding on it, a barrel on the left, a stove on the right, and a pot on top of the stove.

  On the table are the Four Treasures of the Study and a bag of charcoal.

   Except for the cold spot, everything else is fine.

  But Joy is not afraid of the cold, because she brought her tiger skin cape.

   Now she is lying quietly in her basket.

"I am the chief examiner of this exam. My surname is Hong, and you can call me Lord Hong. The four-yearly provincial examination lasts for three days. During this period, candidates are not allowed to leave the examination room unless there are special circumstances. All food, drink and accommodation are in the examination room." It will be settled in the room. Plagiarism is not allowed, otherwise you will be disqualified from the exam immediately if you find out. I won’t talk nonsense, if you want to make a fortune, then please take the exam seriously. Later, Master Wang will explain the exam rules to everyone.”

   Master Hong retreated, Master Wang stood up, and then crackled a lot of exam rules, which made Qiao Yi drowsy.

   It wasn't until the roll of paper was handed out that Joey became more energetic.

  Looking at the rolled paper in his hand, Joey was really stunned this time.

  Five rolls of clean white paper, without a single ink stain on them.

   There is no prompt, only five blank sheets of paper.

  What exactly is this ancient science examination? Or did the examiner already explain the topic when she was drowsy just now?

  Joy looked up at the examinee opposite, and saw that she had already started to close her eyes and think.

  Seeing this, Qiao Yi also closed his eyes in a similar manner.

   As a result, Joey fell asleep while sitting up.

  Originally, Qiao Yi planned to hand in a blank paper, but after thinking about it, Qiao Yi realized that handing in a blank paper would be too insulting to this sacred scientific examination.

  So Qiao Yi decided to write the Three-Character Classic silently, so that he could also practice calligraphy.

  Thinking of this, Joey began to grind ink. Ready to write.

   Master Hong, the chief examiner, could not help nodding when he saw that Qiao Yi had already begun to study ink.

   Unexpectedly, there are several top students in this scientific examination.

   I started writing so quickly.

  Because Qiao Yi's purpose was to practice calligraphy, so she didn't write quickly, but wrote stroke by stroke very seriously.

  When the chief examiner passed by again, seeing Qiao Yi's seriousness, he nodded in satisfaction again, secretly thinking that this student is not bad.

  Looking at the sign of the examination room that said Qiao Yi, Mr. Hong silently wrote down the name of Qiao Yi.

  Qiao Yi, Yan Ning, Zhao Qing, Hong Mei, Qian Duoduo, these students are all good.

   It is estimated that several of them must have a share in the number of scholars this time.

  Joy wrote two sheets in one breath before stopping to rest.

  Then take out the things you prepared and prepare to start cooking.

   Today is the first day, so Joey decided to make a pot of stewed fish first, and then cook dumplings with the fish soup.

   In this way, the meals can be prepared in one pot.

   Soon, a strong fragrance came out of Joey.
