Chapter 778 The Palace Examination Ends
After Sun Shan finished writing the answer sheet, he was already sweating all over.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long sigh of relief.
I looked down and then up again, and found a bowl of white porridge, two steamed buns and a plate of pickles on the table.
Looking forward again, it was empty and there were fewer people.
Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the sky.
The sun was shining brightly in the sky and it was already past noon.
Sun Shan looked around and saw that many candidates had finished their papers and left.
Sun Shan found it incredible that he was more focused on this palace examination than all the previous ones.
As he was writing, he actually forgot the time and didn't even notice when someone brought him lunch.
This kind of selfless state was the first time for Sun Shan.
Sun Shan vaguely felt a wet spot on his back. Oh, doing a test paper was even harder than picking rice ears in the fields when he was five years old.
Sun Shan quickly revised the article, and after making sure that it did not violate any taboos, he copied it down.
After finally confirming that the test paper was accurate, I breathed a sigh of relief again.
I looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had moved lower again. Time passed so quickly.
Sun Shan guessed it was around three o'clock.
Suddenly my stomach growled.
I haven't eaten for a day and a night since yesterday's lunch until this afternoon. No wonder I was so hungry.
Sun Shan looked ahead and saw that there were still a few people left, many of whom had already finished their exams and left.
Sun Shan put the answer sheet aside.
Then he started to eat the big white steamed bun.
If you really don't like to eat it normally, but you haven't eaten for a day, you will eagerly eat anything that can be put into your mouth.
Fortunately, the palace examination does not charge registration fees, meal fees, chairs, benches, answer sheets, etc. So even if the free food is not delicious, Sun Shan will not have any objections.
Everything is free, what else do you want?
You can't be too greedy.
However, the food for the palace examination was the worst: two large white steamed buns, a bowl of rice porridge, a plate of pickles, and that was all.
Sun Shan felt that this kind of meal was suitable for Jiujin or He Shilang, but not for a candidate like him who was exhausted from doing the test papers.
Maybe it’s because it’s free that’s why it’s so bad.
Sun Shan and Ah Q thought that eating in the imperial palace was a rare experience.
After eating two big steamed buns, a bowl of rice porridge and a plate of pickles, Sun Shan's stomach was bloated.
In fact, he couldn't eat that much, but adhering to the principle of "every grain of rice on the plate is hard-earned", he ate up the "palace examination meal".
Alas, there's nothing we can do about it, he just can't stand waste.
It would be great if Gui Ge'er was here. Gui Ge'er wouldn't mind eating his leftovers at all.
Sun Shan burped and thought it would be better if he had a toothpick to pick his teeth.
The steamed buns in Beijing are too solid and fill the gaps between your teeth.
After resting for a while and making sure that the paper was correct, Sun Shan handed it in.
At this time, there were not many people left in front of the Huangji Hall, and only a few candidates were still working hard on their papers.
Tsk tsk~
The grandson thought he had touched enough, but he didn't expect that others had touched more than him.
It is true that there is always someone better than you.
After handing the test paper to the staff, Sun Shan walked out of the palace alone according to the instructions.
This road seems very long, but as I walked along, I found that it was very close.
Sun Shan left the Huangji Hall, went out of the Huangji Gate, the Wu Gate, the Duan Gate, and the Chengtian Gate.
He walked out of the palace alone.
If the candidates want to leave together, they will wait at the Jinshui Bridge outside Chengtian Gate.
Unfortunately, there is no one waiting for Sun Shan here, and there is no one Sun Shan is waiting for.
There were only a hundred or so "burly generals" standing here, and not a single candidate.
Sun Shan looked up at the sky again. The sun was rising in the west and it was very late.
Sun Shan walked alone across the Jinshui Bridge and walked along the straight road. When he reached the Daqian Gate, he saw Gui Ge'er, Sun Dali, and Sun Dingnan from Sunjia Village from afar.
At this moment, Sun Shan no longer felt lonely.
Behind him is Sunjia Village and the villagers who earnestly hope that he will rise to prominence and return home in glory.
Looking at the Sun family, Sun Shan felt that his “conservative and steady” approach was correct.
He still has a lot of things to do, so he must land safely.
Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali waited day and night and finally the Wenquxing of their Sunjia Village appeared.
Gui Ge'er shouted anxiously: "Brother Shan, we are here. Brother Shan, you finally came out."
Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali also shouted anxiously: "Ashan, look here, come here."
The three members of the Sun family had been waiting outside the Daqian Gate for Sun Shan to come out. They waited and waited, until they became like "mountain-viewing rocks", but Sun Shan still didn't come out.
Seeing that the candidates were coming out one after another, and their student Shanzi had not come out yet, the three of them couldn't help but worry.
Now seeing Sun Shan staggering out, I can finally put my mind at ease.
Sun Shan stepped forward, and Gui Ge'er ran up first, supported Sun Shan, and asked with concern: "Brother Shan, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
As for why it was hard? Of course it was hard to take the exam, and it was even harder to take it in the palace.
Gui Ge'er was so scared when he saw the palace that he didn't even want to go in.
His brother Shan is different from others and can take the exam in the palace.
Sun Dali looked at Sun Shan's sweaty forehead and asked nervously, "Ashan, where do you feel uncomfortable? I'll go with you to find a doctor. Come on, lie on my back."
Sun Shan now looked just like when he first walked the Guangdong-Hunan Ancient Road to Yuelu Academy.
Sun Dali thought Sun Shan couldn't hold on any longer, so he prepared to carry him on his back to find a doctor.
Sun Dingnan also said anxiously: "Ashan, what's wrong with you? You must be feeling very uncomfortable after taking the exam all day. Come on, let's go to the clinic first."
I don't know if there is a doctor at the He family? Even if there is, it would be better to go directly to the clinic.
Sun Dingnan asked Sun Dali to quickly carry Sun Shan on his back and run to find a clinic.
Sun Shan covered his stomach, waved his hands, and said with a slightly painful expression: "There are three urgent things in life. I want to go to the toilet."
At this moment, Sun Shan regretted eating the "Palace Examination Meal".
I should have handed in the paper earlier.
He was hungry even though he hadn't eaten for a day, but he was still able to stand up. But he hadn't been to the toilet for almost a day.
I didn't feel anything at first, but after eating the big white steamed buns and rice porridge, I now have an urgent need to pee and it's very painful.
Oh, what a mistake! It's all my fault for wanting a free lunch.
If time could go back, Sun Shan hopes to go back to the moment when he ate steamed buns.
Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingnan, Sun Dali:........
The three of them worried in vain, and thought that Sun Shan was dying.
It turned out that he wanted to go to the toilet.
Oh, Shanzi, what a fool! If you had told me earlier, they wouldn’t have had such a false alarm.
Finally, Sun Shan, Sun Dingnan, Sun Dali, and Gui Ge'er ran quickly.
Then he saw an inn and rushed in without saying a word.
There was no need to ask anyone, as the inn's toilets were usually in the backyard. Sun Shan "smelled the smell" and found the toilet accurately, solving his problem immediately.
After coming out, I breathed a long sigh of relief again and felt a lot more comfortable.
