The spring has arrived, and in a blink of an eye it is already the day of the exam.

Su Jing got up early in the morning, took a basin of water and washed it carefully, then picked up a wooden comb from the table, and combed her long hair that hadn't been combed for many days according to the reflection in the basin. .

Since I have always had short hair in modern times, after time travelling, I was too poor to eat enough to be a problem, so I didn't pay attention to combing hair at all. Su Shi knew nothing about combing hair.

Holding a comb and gesticulating on her hair for a long time, Su Jing failed to do a high bun like those scholars on the street and neatly comb her hair, let alone put a hairpin and wear a hat. up.

In the end, Su Jing, who couldn't afford to comb her hair in a bun, could only compromise with the tragic reality, and took a green cloth headband to tie her long hair together.

Su Jing really doesn't know how to take care of her hair, a few strands of untied hair hang down from her shoulders, looking casual and agile, but with a bit of a bohemian Wei-Jin demeanor that loves freedom.

After washing and combing hair for a long time, seeing that the exam time is approaching, there is not much time left.Su Jing quickly took off a new piece of clothes that was just washed yesterday from the hanger, put it on, and ran downstairs.

"Brother, the exam is still early." The brightly dressed lady proprietress of the inn was doing some calculations in front of the counter with her orchid fingers up. let's go."

"Give me an egg." Su Jing threw five cents on the table, picked up a boiled egg from the pot in front of the counter, grabbed it in his hand, and walked out.

Rich candidates ride horses and carts.Su Jing didn't have a horse, let alone a car, and he didn't care to compare himself with others, so he walked on his own two legs.

Without means of transportation, no matter how fast you can walk, you can't compare with chariots and horses, so it is natural that you need to start more than others.

Fortunately, the examination room was not too far away. When Su Jing arrived at the gate, the examinees were queuing up to enter one after another.

Seeing that it was still early, Su Jing took out the egg that was still warm in the palm of his hand, walked to the side, peeled it, and started to eat his own bitter breakfast.

A fat old man with his hands behind his back was checking the situation at the entrance of the examination room, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he ran up to Su Jing, not daring to say anything: "You...are you Young Master Su?

Su Jing has very sharp eyes, and almost everyone who has seen it remembers it.The fat old man in front of him looked familiar—it was Liu Shangshu who came to strike up a conversation with the shit shovel that night.

"Uncle Liu?" Su Jing quickly swallowed the egg she was chewing, and greeted the other party with a smile, "Hello, Uncle Liu."

"Oh, good good! It's really Young Master Su!" The prince is willing to take the person with him, and he has only met one person in so many years. How can Liu Shangshu not be impressed by Su Jing, so he asked quickly, "You too Are you here for the test?"

"Yes." Su Jing nodded.

"Have you not had breakfast yet?" Liu Shangshu looked at the egg in Su Jing's hand, and recalled how he devoured the food that night, guessing in his heart that he should love to eat, so he graciously invited, "Go to the examination room Eat inside, I will let you cook a lot of delicious food."

"You can't eat too much in the morning." Su Jing smiled and brightened half an egg in her hand and said, "I'll just eat my own egg."

"Then... please come inside." Liu Shangshu hurriedly smiled and ordered someone to open the side door, led Su Jing in without queuing, and then took him to a bright and bright cubicle graciously, and ordered someone to replace him. He set up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, made a cup of tea, and put some plates of fruit on the desk.

"This is the best position for us here." Liu Shangshu asked Su Jing to sit down with a smile on his face, and brought tea to him in person, "You can eat slowly here and do the questions slowly. Let's see what else is there. If there is anything missing, just ask, and the next official will definitely get it for you!"

"Thank you." Su Jing happened to be thirsty, took a sip of water, put down the tea cup and looked at the ink, paper and pens on the table, "I don't think there is anything I need."

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Liu Shangshu said with a smile, "If you need anything later, you can summon the officer at any time, hahaha."

Su Jing smiled and nodded.

Liu Shangshu stepped out of the room nodding his head and closing the door, Su Jing just breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly took out the remaining half of an egg and continued to eat.

While eating eggs, Su Jing picked up the papers on the table to see what the exam questions were, and whether the shit shoveling was reliable or not.

Su Jing held the test paper in one hand, and on the snow-white test paper in front of his eyes were written a few large black characters: Discuss the importance of food to the common people.

The shit shovel really didn't lie!Su Jing was very happy, and quickly ate the remaining eggs, threw the egg shells into the trash can, wiped his hands, and wrote down the article written by Song Li that he had memorized in advance without missing a word. on white paper.

Within half an hour, Su Jing finished writing his examination paper.

Unable to leave the examination room ahead of time, Su Jing leisurely leaned on the chair, ate some fruit, and got some sleep.

-

After the exam, the candidates have all left the venue one after another.

The gate of the Gongyuan was sealed, and the imperial court sent heavy soldiers to guard it. The Gongyuan was surrounded so tightly that not even a fly could fly in.

The test papers that were enough to determine the fate of the examinees were left in the Gong Yuan, and several examiners stayed in the Gong Yuan to mark the test papers.

"This is a good article." Liu Shangshu took out a paper from among the many test papers and handed it to the remaining examiners.

"However, Mr. Cai's son Mr. Cai gave us 10 taels of silver, which is enough to book the number one spot." Mr. Li reminded with raised eyebrows.

"You are really stupid!" Liu Shangshu frowned and scolded, "Look at this paper, whose writing style is it? This is the writing style of Prince Duanqing!"

The rest of the chief examiners were taken aback, and they couldn't speak, but just stared at Liu Shangshu intently.

"That's right, that's right." As the examinee's papers were all re-transcribed anonymous papers, Liu Shangshu slapped the table and judged with confidence, "This paper must belong to that little Mr. Su. That night, I I saw the prince with him. He came to take the exam again today... He must be the confidant that the prince wants to promote, and the prince is not easy to explain clearly, so he revealed the subject of the scientific examination to him, and wrote an article for him. he."

"Liu Shangshu, is it true?" Lord Li asked, "Could it be a mistake?"

"How can I make a mistake?" Liu Shangshu said, "I saw Mr. Su and the prince eating together that night, and today I personally led Mr. Su into the door. I admire the prince most, and the prince wrote The text officer has read it. This paper is obviously the writing style of the prince, how could it be wrong?"

"Yes, yes." A bearded Lord Zhang echoed, "This is indeed the style of the prince, and it must be a hint from the prince to us. Since Liu Shangshu also saw the prince with that person, there must be nothing wrong. I have offended the prince, who of you can afford it!"

After careful discussion, the other adults decided that this Young Master Su must be someone the prince wanted to cultivate, and they had to give him No. 1 in this paper.

-

Since he heard Su Jing say that his name was "Su Jing" that night, when Song Li checked the name of No. 1 "Qin Bai" in scientific research, he didn't think about Su Jing, so he presented it to the emperor.

After discovering that the No.1 judged by themselves was actually called "Qin Bai" instead of Su Jing, several examiners were frowning, feeling that their flattery to the prince had been shot on the horse's hoof.

The emperor was alone, holding the No.1 "Qin Bai" name on the memorial, looking left and right, so happy that he couldn't sleep all night.Unexpectedly, that young man is not only stunningly beautiful, but also so talented and educated.

After Su Jing found out that she passed the No.1 exam, she wiped her eyes twice in disbelief, and finally attributed the good luck to one reason - her aura of the protagonist.

"How is it possible!" Su Jing was looking at the list, only to hear an aggrieved voice from the crowd, "No.1 is actually that poor Qin Bai! I am actually No.2? Damn | how is that possible!"

Su Jing looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Cai Xiaomo, whose bruises and purples hadn't faded, angrily pushed away from the crowd, stomped his feet and cursed, "What the hell did this Qin Bai step on! The examiner must have made a mistake!"

The written test is over, and Su Jing knows that the interview is not easy to fool.After all, he had to answer the questions raised by the emperor in the hall, and there were so many people watching. Those officials were all very educated people, and if they revealed something, they would die.

Fortunately, he didn't expose his name "Qin Bai" to the shit-shoveler. Su Jing thought it was a very wise decision for him, otherwise it would be the end of the shit-shoveler's recognition.

I hope those who shovel shit don't go to visit the palace test.

Only after being personally certified by the emperor can No.1 officially become the champion.

Before that, Su Jing didn't have any decent status and awards, so he could only continue to stay in the inn.

However, the beautiful lady proprietress of the inn seemed to be sure that Su Jing was about to become famous, so she didn't charge the room fee, nor the meal fee, and even refunded all the previous room fee to him.

Su Jing felt that this was strange, so she packed up the money and sent it downstairs.

The proprietress is making plans downstairs.Although she is usually dressed in fashion, today she is even more gorgeously dressed, wearing pearl hairpins and silk flowers on her head, and a fairy dress with wide sleeves and colorful patterns, as if she is going out on a date with her lover.

Seeing Su Jing walking towards her, the proprietress raised her head and pretended to smile shyly: "Little brother, do you have any orders?"

"Miss Boss, I can't accept this money." Su Jing returned the money that the lady boss returned to her, and put it on the counter together with the unpaid rent for the past few days, "This is the money I should pay you."

"Hey, what did you pay me for?" The proprietress waved her hand, picked up the flower and bird fan on the table and shook it gently in her hand, showing her graceful and enchanting figure even more.She smiled and patted Su Jing's shoulder with her fan, "Little brother, I treat you as my 'friend', what do you give me money for, how strange are you?"

"Brothers will settle the score." Su Jing didn't buy it, and pushed the money to the proprietress, "Here, here it is."

"Haha, my little brother is really principled." The proprietress's eyes were quick, she grabbed Su Jing's hand, and said with a smile, "Little brother, since you must give me so much money, I can't repay you, only by your body." Yes."
