After being expelled from the palace, she returned with her cub and amazed the whole city

"Here, is this it?" the invigilator's voice sounded.

"Yes, thank you, sir." Su Jin took the ceramic jar and thanked him quickly.

The invigilator still had two ceramic jars in his hand. Su Jin did not look away until he saw the invigilator walking towards the No. 17 dormitory diagonally opposite.

When Zhen Jingxiu saw the invigilator coming, he stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

The invigilator looked up at the number plate hanging in the dormitory and said, "What is your relationship with the people in the No. 66 dormitory?"

Giving food to people is the first time in the Imperial Examination Hall. If you don't ask clearly, the examinee will be held responsible if there is a problem.

If it weren't for the special greeting from above, the emperor would have high expectations for this year's examinees, and the ceramic jar would never be returned to the two.

How could Zhen Jingxiu not understand the invigilator's thoughts? He replied, "Friends, classmates and friends."

The invigilator had a blank expression on his face, said "hmm" and turned to No. 66.

"Sir, remember to tell him to heat it up on the stove."

Zhen Jingxiu couldn't speak loudly, he didn't know if the invigilator heard him.

"Number 66, someone will send you food."

Lin Xiangzhi felt that the number was very harsh, why did it feel like a prisoner was being called.

The invigilator put the ceramic pot on his desk, Lin Xiangzhi was confused, "This is..."

"Your classmates sent it, and told you to eat it hot." The invigilator said and walked to the other end.

Lin Xiangzhi couldn't wait to open the ceramic pot, and a tempting sweet fragrance rushed towards him.

Looking at the black and red meat strips inside, Lin Xiangzhi had an idea, he poured a can of beef strips into the pot and cooked it with the porridge.

Don't mention how sour and refreshing he was for this meal.

He wouldn't be stupid enough to put beef strips into the porridge here, Su Jin.

He cooked the porridge and put it aside. When the open fire in the stove went out, he put the ceramic pot in the stove to heat it with the residual heat.

When eating, he ate half a can of beef strips before eating the porridge with dried radish.

He ate so deliciously that the people in the three rooms opposite him drooled.

They all stretched their necks to look at him, wondering why the invigilator only sent food to them. Are they of extraordinary status?

It shouldn’t be! His clothes are not much different from those of ordinary officials.

The scholar opposite was even more confused. From the hair crown on Su Jin’s head, it can be seen that his status is not higher than his own. Why did he receive such special treatment?

It was not until the next day that everyone knew that these people did not have any special relationship.

This has to start with Lin Xiangzhi’s hot and smelly mandarin fish.

Everyone was drinking porridge happily, and a disgusting smell spread in the room.

"Who brought the smelly meat?"

"Could it be that someone defecated in the dormitory?"

The examinees covered their noses and poked their heads out of the dormitory.

Some examinees were so shocked by the smell that they squatted in the dormitory and vomited.

Several invigilators were also attracted by the smell.

"Did anyone eat stinky tofu? It's almost stinking to death." The invigilator raised his wide sleeves to cover his mouth and nose, and asked angrily.

One examinee pointed to the front, "The smell came from there."

Su Jin had cooked noodles for this meal, and he was washing the dishes after eating.

Seeing that several invigilators appeared at the same time, he put down the bowl and poked his head forward.

Seeing that the invigilator was staying at around No. 70, he turned his head and looked at Zhen Jingxiu.

Zhen Jingxiu understood the meaning from his eyes and shook his head slightly with a confused look on his face.

When the invigilator came to Lin Xiangzhi's room, the culprit was squatting by the stove eating with relish, not noticing the angry look from the people in the room opposite him, nor the invigilator's disgusted expression.

"This young man, did you eat shit secretly? Do you know that the whole Gongyuan is stinking because of you?"

An invigilator asked angrily, his words were too unpleasant.

Lin Xiangzhi turned around and looked at the stinky mandarin fish that he had eaten half of, and twitched his mouth awkwardly, "Sorry, I didn't think it through. I ate pickled mandarin fish. This fish smells stinky, but it tastes delicious."

Since he only brought one, he couldn't share it with Zhen Jingxiu and Su Jin, so he ate it with guilt.

After being reprimanded by the invigilator, he realized belatedly that the smell of the stinky mandarin fish really affected everyone, and instantly felt that the fish in his mouth was not fragrant anymore.

"You can't eat anymore. The stench affects everyone's eating." An invigilator stepped forward and spoke. The others retreated again and again because of the stench.

Lin Xiangzhi quickly swallowed the fish in his mouth, put down his chopsticks, looked at the remaining stinky mandarin fish and said, "Please help me throw it out, or I can throw it out myself."

How could the invigilator let the examinee go? The invigilator who was walking in front of him covered his nose with one hand and reached out with the other hand to pick up the stinky mandarin fish that was still a little warm.

When the invigilator passed by Zhen Jingxiu and Su Jin's dormitory with the stinky mandarin fish, he stopped and said, "If I find that any of you three are eating this stuff, I will not be polite."

Zhen Jingxiu shook his head quickly: "We didn't."

Su Jin saw the invigilator's unfriendly eyes looking at him, and he also shook his head quickly, "Student understands."

The other invigilators cast warning eyes when they passed by Su Jin and Zhen Jingxiu's dormitory.

After the invigilator left, the examinees in the two rooms realized that they were just ordinary examinees, not people with deep backgrounds.

The invigilator threw away the stinky mandarin fish and returned to the duty room, took out the remaining ceramic jar and began to study it.

One of the invigilators took the ceramic jar, looked at it, and then put it under his nose to smell it.

Questioningly asked: "Will there be stinky mandarin fish in it?"

Another invigilator swallowed his saliva and shook his head, saying: "I checked it yesterday. There is nothing suspicious in it. There is something in it that looks like meat strips. It smells sweet and fragrant. It is not stinky mandarin fish."

"It is sealed, it is hard to say, it is better to open it and take a look."

The invigilator untied the rope and opened the ceramic cover with a force of his fingers.

A sweet fragrance came towards him, and the invigilator swallowed unconsciously.

"The scholar said that this is not good for preservation after opening, and it must be eaten as soon as possible."

"What should I do?"

"Since it has been opened, it would be a pity to throw it away. Why don't you try it?"

"I think it's okay. This method of storing meat is so exquisite. Let's study it."

Several invigilators talked one after another, and then studied the beef strips righteously.

"Well! Not bad, this method is feasible and can be promoted to students who will take science exams in the future."

An invigilator said with satisfaction after tasting it.

In the following days, every time it was time for dinner, the invigilator would stop by the dormitory of Zhen Jingxiu and Su Jin.

The two of them were preoccupied with answering questions. The beef strips that the three of them shared ran out on the fourth day, but they didn't care. They cooked two eggs and had one meal of porridge and two meals of noodles every day.

The exam was in full swing. As the last two days approached, some candidates began to get impatient.

That night, Su Jin checked the questions he had done during the day after dinner as usual to see if there were any that needed to be revised.

Just as he was concentrating on reading the questions, he suddenly heard a "puff" and an unknown object was ejected in front of his desk.
