Xu Qingfeng did not visit the scholars in this county town with the group of companions in the afternoon, but he was still ready to participate in the Lantern Festival poetry meeting in the evening.

It was an opportunity to expand his network, and he didn't want to miss it.

After everyone finished dinner together, he went back to his room to change his clothes and was about to go to the Lantern Festival poetry meeting, when the parrot stopped him:

"Do you have the confidence to write good works to amaze the audience?"

Xu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment:

"During this time, I have focused on the art of making, and I am a little unfamiliar with poetry, so I'm afraid I'm just going to make up a number."

The parrot looked up to the sky and asked proudly, "Do you want me to throw you a song?" ”

"Forehead ......"

Xu Qingfeng groaned.

I also talked to this parrot for a long time, and I gave him the feeling that this parrot was quite ordinary, and he couldn't say a few elegant words in his mouth, all of which were in the tone of the car pulp seller.

He had no hope for the parrot's talent.

Now this parrot took the initiative to ask to throw the poem to himself, but he actually didn't want much.

If you want it, you have to offer it at the poetry meeting, otherwise you will deceive the gods.

But the quality of the work is too poor, and it will make you a laughing stock.

He wanted to refuse.

However, looking at the proud appearance of this parrot with its head up to the sky, I feel that if I refuse, I am afraid that it will hurt the parrot's feelings and further affect my cooperation with the land lord.

Thinking of such consequences, I finally made up my mind, no matter how bad the work is, I want it.

The most important thing is to make God happy.

So, a look of surprise appeared on his face:

"I can't ask for it!"

But in my heart, I thought depressedly: "These poetry lovers are terrible......"

Liu Qing looked at the belated surprise on his face, and thought to himself, "Your reaction is also a little too slow, right?" ”

I don't want to give it.

However, after crossing it once, it seems that I have suffered a big loss if I don't copy some poems.

In particular, this time the poetry meeting is still the Lantern Festival, and among the poems he doesn't remember much, there is one about the Lantern Festival, such an opportunity to copy, it's a pity not to copy it.

The feeling of pity is like seeing a white jade back, but not going to pull out a cup, and the heart is itching.

Although Xu Qingfeng's attitude was not sincere, he still threw out the famous song about the Lantern Festival that he remembered.

That's right, the work he threw out was Xin Qiji's famous article "Qingyu Case. Yuan Xi":

"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

The moth snow willow is golden, and the smile is full of dark fragrance. The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the man was there, and the lights were dim. ”

said that it was the Lantern Festival Poetry Club, but in fact, it could also be filled in, so there was no problem with him throwing out this word.

took such a masterpiece to Xu Qingfeng, of course, not just to show off his talent, but mainly to help Xu Qingfeng become famous.

Although the Great Cadre Imperial Examination is an eight-strand examination, it has nothing to do with poetry.

However, the officials are all literati, and they can write a few hand-me-down works on the poems, so that those literati who are big officials know their reputation, which will also be of great help to their careers.

Xu Qingfeng heard him read it again, and his whole person was shocked, and he couldn't believe that a parrot could write such a good poem.

Even if this poem was made by the land lord through the mouth of a parrot, it is a bit unbelievable.

A scholar who has been admitted to the Lifting People's Examination, even if his poems are not very good, but the basic level of poetry appreciation is still there, and he will know what kind of level it is when he listens to it.

Then he brought a pen and paper and asked the parrot to read it again and write it down.

Looking at the words written on the paper, Xu Qingfeng recited again and again, and asked with some uncertainty: "Lord God's envoy, are you ready to make me the author of this word?" ”

I was reluctant to ask for this parrot's work before, because I was afraid of losing my own people.

But now the work that has been thrown out is so good, and he is a little afraid to take possession of it, for fear that the other party will regret it afterwards.

"Yes, you are a man of letters, and you need to be famous, so you should make yourself the author," the parrot said to him very generously, "I am a parrot, and it is useless to have this false name." ”

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Xu Qingfeng said gratefully.

After memorizing this rhyme, he followed his companions to participate in the Lantern Festival poetry meeting.

Liu Qing also followed.

Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's okay to watch the excitement with the past.

What he didn't expect was that the Lantern Festival poetry meeting was actually held in the largest Qinglou in the county.

There are many literati who participated in the Lantern Festival Poetry Meeting, and there were nearly 100 people alone.

There are only four or five people who belong to this county, and the rest are passing through here when they enter Beijing to take the exam.

The presiding officer of the poetry meeting was a local Jinshi in his sixties, who used to be the prefect of the fourth grade, but now he has a great reputation in the local area.

The Lantern Festival poetry meeting lasted until the middle of the night, and Xu Qingfeng took out the copy of "Qingyu Case. Yuan Xi", without any accident, became the leader of this poetry meeting and became the focus of attention of the audience.

The reward for him was to spend the Spring Festival with the Oiran of this green building.

Liu Qing didn't wait for the results to come out, and went to the capital along the official road overnight.

At this Lantern Festival poetry meeting, he heard a news - this time the chief examiner of the Spring Festival has been decided, and it is Cui Hao, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites.

The topics of the three exams were set by this Cui Shilang.

Liu Qing just wanted to see if he could get the exam questions from Cui Shilang.

As long as you can get the questions of the exam, with Xu Qingfeng's level, and do your homework a few days in advance, you still have the ability to pass the exam.

After the exam, it is the palace exam, so there is no need to guess who the examiner is.

There is only one examiner for the palace examination, and that is the emperor.

If you pass the palace examination, you will be a jinshi, and those with poor grades will be sent out to be magistrates, and those with good grades will stay in the capital as Beijing officials.

As a jinshi, as long as you want, you can be an official.

Liu Qing knew that it was difficult for Xu Qingfeng to trust him, but he still hoped to complete the deal with Xu Qingfeng, help the other party be admitted to the Jinshi, and then use the other party's power to expand his incense faith.

Liu Qing had never been to the capital, but he had read Daqian's map and knew the general direction.

Just follow the official road to the north.

His current divine power is no longer comparable to the original, the speed of flight is very fast, flying north along the official road, and in less than an hour, he has already come to the sky above a majestic city.

This day is the Lantern Festival, and all the cities will have their curfew lifted, and everyone can go out at night.

Although it was already the middle of the night, there were still a lot of lanterns, and there were still many pedestrians on the streets.

When Liu Qing flew over this big city, he saw that the lights in the city were bright, like a galaxy.

It was the first time he had seen such a bustling scene at night in this world.

This big city is the capital of Daqian.

Yancheng.
