Chapter 51: The Origin of Jinshi

February 27 is the day of the trial release of the list.

On this day, Xu Qingfeng did not go to see the list, but stayed in the residence to play chess with the eldest son of the master's family, which seemed particularly magnanimous.

In fact, he was not in a hurry because the Lord of the Land had already told him when he was praying for incense the night before.

Not only did he win, but the ranking was quite high, although he did not enter the top ten, but he was also the twelfth.

If Xu Qingfeng had some doubts about the prediction ability of this land god in Liuzhen before, when he saw the exact same question when he came to the entrance examination, he no longer had any doubts.

The land lord said that he was twelve, so it must be twelve.

Now that we know the results, what's there to worry about?

Naturally, the clouds are light and breezy waiting for others to report the good news.

The companions who came with him to catch the exam all went to see the list, and he was the only one who stayed in the residence calmly.

The people who played against him had some muttering in their hearts:

"He didn't even look at the list, was it because he did too badly in the exam and felt that there was no hope, so he broke the can?"

The more I think about it, the more I think it's like this.

Thinking of the amazing poems written by Xu Qingfeng these days, I can't help but feel sorry:

"It's a pity that his talent ......"

Before a game of chess was played, someone came over to report the good news, saying that Xu Qingfeng, who lived in this house, was in twelfth place.

It shocked him.

And Xu Qingfeng was quite calm, and asked the old slave who followed him to take out the reward money that had already been prepared and send it to the person who reported the good news.

On this day, several batches of idlers who came to report the good news and beg for money came, and Xu Qingfeng spent more than a dozen taels of silver.

The partners who came with him to participate in the scientific expedition came back from the list, and most of them were not very interested, and they fell off the list at first glance.

However, they all congratulated Xu Qingfeng.

However, there is also one on the list, although the ranking is very low, but it also seems very excited.

His congratulations to Xu Qingfeng were particularly sincere.

After reading the list, his mentality has changed a little, and he feels that he is no longer at the same level as these companions, and he has a feeling of looking down.

is the same as him, only Xu Qingfeng is alone.

All the people who live here are Gyeongju juzi, and all the Gyeongju juzi who participated in this scientific expedition live here.

There are dozens of lifters, and there are only two in high school.

If Xu Qingfeng hadn't known the topic in advance, there would have been only one person in the entire Gyeongju High School in this subject.

However, this is not an uncommon thing, after all, only more than 300 people are admitted in one subject, and there are so many state capitals in Daqian, and every year there will be some state capitals that do not admit any of them.

Gyeongju is not a thriving place for cultural fortune, one is already worth rejoicing, and two are even more unexpected.

Although Xu Qingfeng knew the result in advance, he had already vented his excitement when others couldn't see it, but he was still quite happy with such a result.

The rest of the time is quite busy.

There should be entertainment, people to visit, and etiquette to learn.

Even if you want to celebrate and spend a lot, you can't spare that time.

I can only wait for the temple test before we can celebrate.

In three more days, on the first day of the third month, it will be the day of the temple examination.

The night before the palace exam, Liu Qing got the questions for the palace exam.

There is no way to do this, the questions of the palace examination are theoretically made by the emperor, but considering that the emperor's academic performance is generally not very good, and some emperors do not even have the ability to write questions, so under normal circumstances, the minister in charge of this part prepares the questions, and the emperor will appoint them on the last day.

By the time the topic was set, it was already evening.

And the next day, I have to go to the temple examination.

When Liu Qing got the question, Xu Qingfeng was already asleep.

There was no way, Liu Qing could only use the dream-making technique, tell him the topic of the strategy in Xu Qingfeng's dream, and let him compose in the dream.

Moreover, the time in the dream is adjusted differently, ten hours in the dream, and one hour in reality.

This night, Xu Qingfeng did a question in his dream all night.

The allusions he needed to find, Liu Qing found the corresponding books in the master's study, and copied the contents into the dream, so that he could write articles while flipping through the books.

This makes the most of time.

The downside is that the load on the body is quite large.

In the dream, Xu Qingfeng racked his brains to write a strategy, and in reality, he was lying on the bed, sweating like a spring, soaking his clothes, and even the quilt and sheets were wet with sweat.

When he got up the next day, Xu Qingfeng's face was pale and his spirit was sluggish, as if he was seriously ill.

The first thing I did in the morning was to drink two bowls of porridge and eat four eggs before I had the energy to bathe and change clothes.

On the way out, there were some fluttering footsteps.

The old slave didn't know what he had been through all night, and he was very worried.

However, Xu Qingfeng himself was quite happy, because he once again knew the topic in advance and had already made the strategy.

After doing it, he watched it more than a dozen times, and determined that with his ability, he could only do that.

After waking up, I kept recalling the articles I had done in my dreams to make sure I didn't forget.

When I took the temple exam, I opened the question, which was exactly the one I saw in my dream.

I made up my mind, picked up the pen and started writing.

He knew that he was not a top talent, and even if he knew the topic in advance, he couldn't do those real geniuses.

After participating in the first scientific expedition, he knew that he could not compare with those true geniuses.

For the temple examination, what he prayed for was not to be too embarrassed, and the ranking should not be too different from the examination.

Jinshi and the first are unthinkable, to be able to enter the second class, to get a Jinshi background, then it is satisfied.

If you can't get a Jinshi background, and you can squeeze into the top two hundred, that's okay, at least it's not a shame.

If he can test twelve people and more than three hundred people in the palace test, it will be too embarrassing, and others will wonder if the name he can try is too boring.

Seeing that the topic was still the same this time, Xu Qingfeng had no worries.

When he walked out of the examination room, Xu Qingfeng's mental state was even better than before entering the examination room, which was in stark contrast to other tributes.

- Most of the tributes were in a good state of mind before entering the examination room, but after they came out, their mental state was very bad.

Writing an essay is not an easy task.

Writing an article that will affect your life on such an important occasion is even more stressful.

Only Xu Qingfeng has already made an article, just writing silently, so there is no pressure.

After writing, the rest of the time also gave him a better rest.

Back at the residence, Xu Qingfeng ate again, then slept well, and waited for the results of the palace test to come out.

The results of the palace examination came out much faster than the general examination, but after a day, the yellow list came out.

This time, Xu Qingfeng's ranking was also good, although he did not rank first, he was included in the second class, and he was still in the top ten, and he got a Jinshi background.

Originally, he didn't have such a high ranking, after all, the talent for writing articles was there, and he couldn't compare to a real genius.

It's just that when those examiners agreed on the rankings, the emperor suddenly sent someone to ask:

"I heard that this time there was a Gyeongju genius named Xu Qingfeng who participated in the palace examination, how about his article?"

Just asked, so that Xu Qingfeng's ranking directly rose dozens of places and entered the top ten.

Jinshi's background made Xu Qingfeng's starting point in officialdom much higher.
