For the nine-day courtyard exam, the examination hall does not provide food, you have to bring your own cup, oil lamp, and candles, mainly to prevent cheating.
Aside from the invigilators, even those patrolling and doing odd jobs inside are all illiterate or have speech and hearing impairments, doing their utmost to avoid cheating.
Therefore, when candidates enter the examination hall, everything must be done by themselves.
Although it's tough, for the sake of future officialdom, this bit of hardship can be endured.
Of course, speaking of hardship, this might not include Jiang Yu and Liu Ze.
"Brother, flint stones aren't used like that. One in each hand like this, at an angle, and strike close to ignite the match."
Liu Ze was teaching his brother to use a flint stone. Initially, Liu Bo said to wait until they returned from Fuzhou, then let Liu Qingfeng, which is Liu Ze's older brother, come over.
