My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 36 36. At the restaurant party, it turned out to be him

At this moment, it was already afternoon and Zhao Xuanqi had returned to the inn.

The inn he lives in is called Sihai Inn, and the service is quite good. The waiter is very polite and very tolerant of people from all over the world.

He didn't know that Qi Zilong was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Even if he knew, he wouldn't have much emotion.

At most, he just laughed and cursed, this guy's mental quality is really bad.

Is this vomiting blood?Are you dizzy now?I haven't shown the power of my strong keyboard warrior yet, so you can't do it, you're too useless.

In the room, Zhao Xuanqi did not continue to read as usual. He had already memorized the books he had brought.

I have to say that the gift of photographic memory is simply the best plug-in in this ancient feudal society.

He sat at his desk, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the drawer, and finally chose to write a letter to his wife.

The content of the letter is simple.

The general meaning is to tell my wife not to worry about herself. Today is the time for the results of the National People's Government Examination. I got No. 1 in the exam. Now I am not the first in two subjects, but the first in three subjects.

It's really fun to tell my wife this happy news and show off in front of her.

Then he wrote that he was living a good life in Ziyun County. He didn't encounter any trouble and everything was fine.

Then he told his wife to live a good life at home, not to think too much about troublesome things, and to go and have fun with other better friends when nothing happened.

Everything is fine, don't worry.

While writing the letter, Zhao Xuanqi felt warm in his heart.

When he came to this world, he finally had a family he could care about. Many times it made him feel no longer lonely, but gave him more motivation and joy.

When the last word is written.

Zhao Xuanqi came downstairs and handed the letter to the waiter at the inn. He also gave him a fee for running errands and asked him to help mail the letter, which was very convenient.

Go back to your room and rest.

However, not long after he had rested, there was a knock on the door.

Is there anyone else knocking on the door at this time?
Who on earth is it?
Zhao Xuanqi slowly opened the door and saw an official standing in front of him.

"Is this Mr. Zhao Xuanqi? My lord, on behalf of the imperial court, invites you to Ziyun Restaurant."

"Oh? I wonder if I could ask who your adult is?"

"My lord Wu Youwei is the governor of Ziyun County and the chief examiner of this examination. Not only have you been invited, but the top ten scholars in the examination have also been invited."

"Okay, I'll pack up and go right away."

"It's okay. You can pack up slowly. I'll be waiting for you outside the door. The carriage is ready and waiting for you to hit the road."

Zhao Xuanqi closed the door.

I was a little surprised.

As we all know, those in the top ten can be invited by high officials.

In fact, he didn't expect to receive the invitation so early.

The results of the national examination were just released this morning, and I was invited to a party that afternoon. The invitation was really fast.

He thought he would wait until at least tomorrow, or a few days later, to be invited, and by the way, he could receive the merit list.

Now there are people who are really caught off guard, with no time to prepare at all.

"No matter how shabby you are on a normal day, at this critical moment you must look and dress appropriately and not let anyone find anything wrong with you."

He changed his clothes into a more ceremonious brocade robe, tidied up his appearance in front of the bronze mirror, and dressed himself decently and perfectly before leaving the room.

Later, he took an official's carriage and arrived at a brilliant restaurant called Ziyun Restaurant.

The entire restaurant is five stories high, which was already a relatively tall building in this ancient feudal era. It is richly decorated, and the vermilion-red building exudes a classical and graceful atmosphere, making people feel that it is extremely luxurious.

At this time, the restaurant has been booked.

There are no idlers.The meeting place was on the fifth floor. When Zhao Xuanqi walked up to the fifth floor, it was already full of people, including officials from the county and city, as well as other top ten candidates.

Everyone's eyes immediately fell on Zhao Xuanqi.

Zhao Xuanqi saluted immediately and said: "Scholar Zhao Xuanqi, I would like to pay my respects to all the gentlemen and my classmates."

……

"It turned out to be him?"

On the main seat, Wu Youwei looked at the young man in front of him in surprise.

He just felt that the young man in front of him looked very familiar.

He thought about it carefully, and then he remembered that on the day of the scientific examination, he complained on the high-rise building about the poor children's failure in the scientific examination. He felt that Ziyun County City was definitely at the bottom of the scientific examination this time.

At that time, didn't an examiner from Shixi County recommend the candidate named Zhao to him?He said he was number one in both disciplines, and pointed at this young man at that time, thinking that the poor children might shine in this scientific examination.

I still remember that I was scornful at that time, thinking that poor children were not good enough. Seeing the young man's clothes and the poor fellow villagers gathered around him, he still looked down on this young man.

At that time, he even scolded the examiner vigorously.

Now, Wu Youwei looked at Zhao Xuanqi who walked in, with mixed feelings in his heart. He was really surprised. He didn't expect that this young man would win the title of first among the people.

He also wrote top sentences such as "worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness" and "create peace for all generations."

He only felt his face burning.

A poor boy whom he looked down upon won the first place in the imperial examination.

The young man named Zhao, whom he looked down upon, won the first place in the competition.

I really don’t know what to say.

I felt extremely embarrassed.

However, he quickly concealed the emotions in his heart and turned them into joy without showing any of them on his face.

Instead, he took the initiative to step down from his seat.

"Hahaha!"

"He deserves to be the first in this competition."

"He is truly the son of Qilin. He is a talented person, full of bookishness, handsome and generous. He is a pillar of the country at first sight."

"You must not look down on poor children when they become outstanding people. Won't you, the children of rich families, be trampled under his feet this time?

"Quick, quick, please take a seat."

Wu Youwei personally invited Zhao Xuanqi to his seat, and then returned to his seat.

The other examiners next to him twitched their mouths.

Sir, this is not like you!
During the scientific examination that day, you were so meticulous that you wanted to relegate the poor people to the dirt. When others introduced this young man named Zhao to you, you still looked down on this young man named Zhao...

I can only say that you are worthy of being an adult, you can bend and stretch, you can stretch and contract, no wonder you can reach such a high official position!

"Come on, let's toast!"

With the arrival of Zhao Xuanqi, the top ten people in this year's Juren ranking have arrived, and everyone has arrived.

The party reaches its climax.

Everyone worked together, complimented each other, kept toasting, and the atmosphere was extremely joyful.

In this environment, Zhao Xuanqi kept toasting with others and chose to blend in with the party.

He made a special observation and found that among the top ten people, except for himself, a poor boy, the other nine were from wealthy and scholarly families from all over the country.

The officials who came here were basically the examiners of this scientific examination, and even the most prestigious high-ranking officials in Ziyun County. There was no one more than that.

When the atmosphere of the party reached its peak, an official suddenly said, looking at Zhao Xuanqi and other new imperial candidates:
"All the people in the new imperial examination are outstanding people in Ziyun City. They are the best among all scholars. You might as well write a poem. How about we take a look at your literary talents?"
