After a night of spring supper, Xu Qingfeng rushed back to the inn where he stayed early the next morning, and even the oiran begged him to give him a poem as a souvenir, but he politely refused.

I had to hurry up and go back with my companions, and I didn't have that time to write poetry.

In addition, there is another point - last night's "Qingyu Case" was enough to be passed down through the ages. Yuan Xi won the championship, and this morning I wrote a poem with a very average level, the gap is too large, and it will inevitably make people doubt his true level.

It's better to leave early.

When I returned to the inn, the first thing I did was to offer incense to the landlord.

When the incense was applied, I heard the grand and majestic voice of the Lord of the Earth in my mind:

"Xu Qingfeng, if I give you this exam question, can you be sure of high school?"

Xu Qingfeng was surprised and delighted, and silently recited in his heart: "The land lord is on it, as long as there is a topic, I promise to be admitted!" ”

It is not a jinshi who passes the examination, but a tribute.

After passing the palace examination, the first three names appointed by the emperor are Jinshi and the first, and then there is the birth of the Jinshi, and the second is called the birth of the Jinshi.

Those are collectively known as jinshi.

Theoretically, the temple examination can eliminate those who pass the general examination.

However, under normal circumstances, the palace examination and the general examination only change the ranking, and will not eliminate people.

Therefore, passing the examination is basically equivalent to winning the jinshi.

Xu Qingfeng is also a person who has participated in the three examinations, and he has studied Bagu articles for 20 years, and he has also read a lot of other people's articles, and he still has strength.

It's just a little bit of luck, every time I encounter a question that is a little off, I don't do my homework, and it's too late in the exam room.

If you can get the topic in advance, there are still more than 20 days, and you can completely make all those articles on the scriptures and policies.

So he replied confidently.

When he said this, his heart was pounding, waiting for the land lord to say the topic.

At this time, even the emperor didn't know what questions Cui Hao, the chief examiner, was going to make, and those questions were still in Cui Hao's stomach, and he hadn't told anyone.

However, Xu Qingfeng knew.

Even Cui Hao figured out why he had such a question and what kind of answer he was expecting.

This was asked by Liu Qing in Cui Hao's dream as a saint of the Temple of Literature.

With this information, if Xu Qingfeng can't go to high school yet, it means that he really doesn't have that level, and there is no need to take the exam again in this life.

When he got on the horse and set off, Xu Qingfeng was in a daze, thinking about how to do a good job of the article.

At noon, when I went to a town for dinner, those companions were talking about his victory in the Lantern Festival Poetry Meeting, and some of them asked him obscenely what it was like to spend the Spring Festival with the Oiran, and even asked some details of the Oiran, which was quite pink and black.

He was not interested in answering, but discussed with them something to make a fuss.

He didn't reveal anything related to those topics, and only asked about grammar.

When everyone saw him like this, they were all amazed, thinking that he was a real reader and a model for everyone.

With such a role model, the atmosphere of learning has become stronger along the way.

Proceeding all the way, I finally arrived in the capital on the twenty-eighth day of the first lunar month.

There was also a spring rain on the way, and I stayed in a county town for two days.

In those two days, Xu Qingfeng was not idle, he went to two local bookstores to buy a few books that were helpful to him, and read them at night.

Before he arrived in the capital, he made all those articles, and then went to consult the parrot envoy about how he wrote and whether he was qualified to enter high school.

Liu Qing is a modern traverser, and his cultural level is not very high, where is the qualification to evaluate the quality of Baguwen?

In his opinion, being able to write classical Chinese smoothly is a very awesome existence.

But it's not like words without saying a word.

After listening to Xu Qingfeng finish reading all the articles, he pondered for a while before he said:

"The general direction is right, and the details still need to be considered."

After receiving such an evaluation, Xu Qingfeng was in a cold sweat and worried:

"I'm still too complacent, thinking that after so many days of preparation, I have checked so many books, and the articles I have made are enough, but I didn't expect that the details are still not good. Alas, the first three failures, I just said that it was bad luck, and now it seems that it is not a matter of luck, that is, my strength is not enough. ”

Fortunately, it is still early, and there is still room for modification and improvement.

When they arrived in the capital, a group of fellow villagers rented a house closer to the examination room to live.

They came relatively late, the inns near the examination room were already full, some Taoist temples were also full, and even some people's homes were full.

They rented the mansion of an official family, and the official was from Gyeongju, and there was that relationship, and the place reserved for them was cleaned up when they arrived, and they rented it to them.

The backyard is where their own family lives.

After living there, some of those people began to visit the old stories they knew during the scientific expeditions in previous years, some went to the Qinglou to seek joy, some went to visit the fellow villagers in Beijing, and some stayed in the residence to study.

Xu Qingfeng and a few people went to visit a senior in the literary world who was once appointed by the emperor as the champion, and that one is now a bachelor of Hanlin, and his articles are extremely well written, and he enjoys a good reputation in the literary circles of Daqian.

The senior he saw, Xu Qingfeng put forward some things that he felt confused in his composition, and the senior also gave him guidance, which gave him a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

After returning to my residence, I didn't go out for three days in a row, and I was revising the articles I had written.

Three days later, I read the revised article several times, and I was very satisfied, sighing again and again: "The way of the article, I have it!" ”

Then go and ask the parrot.

The parrot replied simply: "There is progress, but I think you still have room for improvement." ”

It was really a scoop of cold water that washed down, pouring Xu Qingfeng's blood cold.

After staying for a long time, he laughed at himself: "At least there is still progress." ”

Then I went to look up the books to see how others wrote similar test questions.

One of the advantages of the capital is that it is the cultural center of the country, and there are many more books in the bookstores here than elsewhere, and it is much easier to find information.

Xu Qingfeng didn't go to socialize, he just read books and wrote articles every day, and often got three watches in the middle of the night.

This made those companions quite admired, and some were inspired to learn from him.

There are three examinations on the 9th, 12th and 15th of February.

Time is running out for these lifters.

Most of them did not study hard during this time, they felt that it was still based on the accumulation of knowledge in ordinary times, and in a few days, they would not make much progress.

Instead of studying hard before the exam, it is better to relax yourself and take good care of your spirit, so that you can have a better state in the exam room.

Of course, Xu Qingfeng understands this truth.

But this time is different, this time I have already got the topic and have the direction of my efforts, so of course we must work hard and strive to do our best.

This is a imperial examination that can change his fate, and in order to achieve his goal, he can endure any hardships during this time.
