My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 39 39. Turn enemies into friends and the examiner shows goodwill
When this tradition of poetry writing ended, the lively drinking party resumed in Ziyun Tower. Everyone continued to drink and eat, enjoying themselves.

Wu Youwei clapped his hands and the door opened instantly.

Then several beauties slowly appeared. Each of them had top-notch looks and posture, and exuded a scholarly atmosphere that was unique to ladies. They were dressed in cool clothes and had slim figures.

They danced in the room, singing and dancing, bringing the party back to a cheerful atmosphere.

Zhao Xuanqi looked at the young man next to him who was sitting on pins and needles, and smiled calmly: "Second brother, second brother, didn't you say that I can't compose poetry? Now, what do you think of my poem Yellow Crane Tower?" "

Wang Zizai's face turned red.

Still immersed in the awesomeness of "Yellow Crane Tower".

People in the past have gone away on the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower is empty here. Once the Yellow Crane is gone, it will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years...

Poems flowed through his mind.

monster!

He could only evaluate these two words in his mind.

How could I laugh at such a monster just now? !
He was on pins and needles and wished he could leave this place as soon as possible.

Of course, it was just a thought. If he left now, he would be considered disrespectful by the officials. He would not do such a stupid thing.

So, Wang Zizai turned his eyes to Zhao Xuanqi, and his teeth became more itchy with hatred when he saw Zhao Xuanqi's teasing expression.

envy!

This guy not only writes poems quickly, but he also writes them so well. I originally thought that the poems he wrote were very good, but compared with this guy, the poems he wrote were just bullshit!
One is first and the other is second.

Why is the gap between first and second so big?

When compared with him, the second-best person like him seemed to be full of water and extremely frustrated.

He was both angry and admired, ashamed and jealous.

Looking carefully at Zhao Xuanqi's teasing look, it can be seen as a kind of teasing, but not mocking himself at all, which makes me feel better.

He suppressed his blush, and finally told the truth from the bottom of his heart: "Poetry can amaze ghosts and gods, but I can't do it as well!"

Then, he raised the wine glass in front of him and punished himself with three drinks.

Take the initiative to bow your head and admit your mistake to Zhao Xuanqi.

At this point, the minor conflict between the two was resolved.

It's not a big conflict in the first place. It's something that can be resolved between men over a drink without too much trouble.

Several other new imperial examiners who originally looked down on Zhao Xuanqi, and who were originally dissatisfied with Zhao Xuanqi, at this moment, also took the initiative to step forward and punish themselves with three glasses of wine.

It can be said that Zhao Xuanqi's poems have impressed them. He is full of knowledge and terrifying talent, so that they, the proud people of aristocratic families, can only accept defeat.

Faced with the bowing of these people, Zhao Xuanqi naturally accepted it and chose to take the initiative to make friends with these people, keep drinking and flattering them.

Zhao Xuanqi, as the number one in this competition, lowered his status and took the initiative to photograph the horses of these rich people, coaxing them into giving them more.

Many friends, many paths.

Instead of quarreling with these people, tossing each other over little troubles, and turning them into enemies, it is better to turn these people who can turn into enemies into friends.

……

"This boy is extraordinary!"

On the main seat, Wu Youwei watched Zhao Xuanqi's operation and couldn't help but admire in his heart.

The members of several aristocratic families who originally hated Zhao Xuanqi now became friends because of Zhao Xuanqi's tolerance and peace.

Moreover, Zhao Xuanqi's actions, as well as his initiative to win over and praise others, made several other proud and wealthy people admire him, which is really remarkable.

Is this kid really a poor boy?What this kid did was not what a poor farmer should do.

Even Wu Youwei had some admiration in his heart. Before he composed the poem just now, he had personally witnessed the conflicts between Zhao Xuanqi and others, and witnessed Zhao Xuanqi being questioned and ridiculed.

At this moment, the enthusiasm between the two parties was somewhat contradictory, as if they were close and passionate friends who had not seen each other for ten years.

Zhao Xuanqi can take things up and put them down, he will not get angry when he is ridiculed, and he will not insult others when he is questioned.Instead, use your grades to slap others in the face.

After his grades slapped others in the face, he did not verbally insult others or further mock others. Instead, he took the initiative to step down and let others down, and actively catered to others, praised others, and flattered others.

As a young and energetic young man, he had to control his emotions reasonably. This series of actions even made Wu Youwei, a veteran in the officialdom, couldn't help but admire him.

Wu Youwei couldn't help but shook his head when he saw the faces of several other wealthy families turning red after being praised by Zhao Xuanqi.

It seems that the candidates from these wealthy families are not as powerful as they imagined. Their emotional intelligence is too low. Their emotional intelligence has been crushed by Zhao Xuanqi, and he doesn't even know it.

He could imagine that if Zhao Xuanqi wanted to deceive them, he might be able to defraud them out of their pants, and he would have to count their money.

Time flies by, and when the time comes to night, the party ends. Officials leave one by one, and new imperial examination candidates leave one by one.

But Wu Youwei took the initiative to greet Zhao Xuanqi to get in the car: "Take my car, and I will give you a ride!"

Zhao Xuanqi looked up in surprise.

Is this examiner too enthusiastic?
He didn't refuse and got directly into Wu Youwei's carriage.

On the carriage, Wu Youwei praised Zhao Xuanqi enthusiastically and asked directly: "The examination for the imperial examination is over. Now that you are a national examiner, will you take the imperial examination next? Or will you directly choose to be an official?"

Zhao Xuanqi replied: "Although my meritorious service is very good and can allow me to serve as a parent official in the county, I don't want to stay in the county all my life. This is not my idea. I also want to take the imperial examination!"

"Very good. This is the ambition that young people should have. After all, you are number one in the imperial examination. How can you not participate in the Jinshi? I knew you did not disappoint me."

Wu Youwei continued: "The next Jinshi examination will be held in the capital. The examination will start in one year. Since you have decided to take this examination, it means that you need to go to Beijing to take the examination..."

Zhao Xuanqi raised his head, looked at Wu Youwei with bright eyes and said, "Sir, what do you mean?"

Wu Youwei got straight to the point: "Our Ziyun County is far away from the capital. We need to start our journey at least two or three months in advance. However, the world is unstable today and there are many vicious gangsters along the way. It is full of all kinds of accidents. You are the only one." It is very dangerous for people to go to Beijing to take the exam. Even if you are traveling with the escort agency, not only will you need a lot of money for travel expenses, but it is also full of instability. "

"In a month, I will go to the capital. If you are willing, I can take you for a ride and arrive in the capital early."

He looked at Zhao Xuanqi and continued: "After all, I am a high-ranking official in Ziyun County. There will be many soldiers accompanying you along the way, and generals will lead the way. If you follow me, you can avoid countless dangers, and there will be people waiting for you along the way. There will be no trouble of traveling, are you willing to go to the capital with me?"

This is Wu Youwei taking the initiative to show goodwill to Zhao Xuanqi.

He took a fancy to Zhao Xuanqi's potential and ability, decided to help Zhao Xuanqi, and took the initiative to contact Zhao Xuanqi, hoping to enhance the friendship between the two parties.

"Thank you, sir. This is a dream come true for students. Please give me your guidance along the way!"

Zhao Xuanqi immediately raised his hands and saluted.

He was a high-ranking official, and he took the initiative to make friends with me. How could he refuse?
Once you refuse, you will offend others and gain little benefit.

Moreover, going to the capital with Wu Youwei has only advantages and no disadvantages for Zhao Xuanqi.

Not only does it ensure personal safety, but it also saves a lot of travel expenses. The only thing worth mentioning is that if you go there one year in advance, you will have to wait for one year in the capital before the exam can start.

However, Zhao Xuanqi originally wanted to go to the capital, so it didn't matter whether he went in advance or not.

Wu Youwei praised: "I like people like you who appreciate promotion. Don't worry, it's a good thing to go to the capital in advance. After you get there, I will arrange for someone to find you a place to live without charging you any money!"

"And there is also a bookstore in the capital. There are many books in it, which can be used for the Jinshi examination. I can help you apply for a reading list!"

The carriage has arrived at Sihai Inn.

Zhao Xuanqi slowly got out of the car and watched the carriage leave.

Then he went back to his room to sleep.
