After that, Da Qian chose the second-best and the most beautiful among these ten answers.
The top scorer, second runner-up, and the top scorer were the first in the court examination and were awarded the Jinshi title.
In addition, there were also second-class students who scored second in the court examination who were given a Jinshi background.
Finally, the third-ranked top three in the court examination were given the same Jinshi background.
Among them, the top scorer, second runner-up, and the top-scorer would be immediately awarded official positions.
The second-grade and third-grade Jinshi also needed to participate in the imperial examination held in Baohe Hall several times. According to the results of the examination before and after, they were awarded the positions of Shujishi, Principal, Zhongshu, Pedestrian, Judge, Doctor, Tuiguan, Zhizhou, and Zhixian.
Three days after the rankings were set, the results of the court examinations were finally released.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Early in the morning, the sky was just beginning to brighten.
He Kun was still sleeping in his room when the street outside the window was already filled with the sound of firecrackers.
"What are you arguing about? Phoenix Feather didn't sleep early and started shooting. She must be crazy.”
He Kun cursed, turned over, and continued sleeping.
These were the candidates who were ranked high in the court examinations. When they received the news of the results, their family and friends were helping them set off firecrackers to celebrate.
He Kun might have inherited the habit of not getting up until the sun was shining on his butt from his previous life on Earth. He would not get up until eight or nine in the morning, which was the time of this world.
Three days ago, when he participated in the court examinations, he woke up before the sun had even risen. He had really lost his life.
For the past three days, he had been sleeping until noon.
Bang bang bang!
However, the more he wanted to sleep, the more God wouldn't let him sleep.
He Kun, who had turned over, was half-asleep when there was a knock on the door.
He Kun was a little angry when he woke up. He grabbed the pillow on the bed and threw it at the door. He opened his mouth and cursed,"What are you arguing about? You can't even sleep?"
After a while, a timid voice came from outside the door."Young Master He, it's me, the innkeeper. There are a few servants who came to deliver good news. They said that you were the top scorer and came to deliver good news to you.”
Hearing this, He Kun's mind was in a mess for a moment. After a while, he regained consciousness. He suddenly opened his eyes and jumped up from the bed."What?! I got the top scorer?"
Then, in a panic, he found some clothes on the bed and put them on.
Opening the door, he saw the innkeeper and six officials dressed in red uniforms standing outside. They were holding black trays with red top scholar's egret clothes, as well as a pearl top scholar's crown, a red flower, a gong, a gong hammer, and other items.
"Young Master He!"
When the inn owner saw He Kun walk out, he greeted him awkwardly.
The official from the Ministry of Rites who had just sent a congratulatory gift had found this place. When he heard that He Kun had been selected as the top scorer, he thought about how he would probably become famous in the capital after his "guest residence".
She was so excited that she forgot her habit of waking up late with Kun.
"Yes!"
He Kun replied calmly and looked at the officials standing behind the inn owner.
The innkeeper tactfully made way.
"He Jinshi, congratulations. You have won the first place in the court examination and have been appointed as the top scholar by His Majesty. Please change into the top scholar's uniform and ride on the top scholar's horse. After three rounds of the parade, follow us into the palace to see His Majesty.”
Seeing He Kun, who was the leader of this trip, come out, the leading official walked over and respectfully said to He Kun.
"Alright, thank you, officers. Please wait here for a moment. I'll go change my clothes now.”
He Kun took the clothes and hats from the other two officials and walked back to the room, closing the door.
He Kun knew that according to tradition, the scholars in the Imperial College Entrance Examination had to give some silver to the minor officials who came to report the news. The problem was that he was extremely poor. During this period of time, his food, clothing, and accommodation were all paid by that fatty Cao Rui.
How could he have the money to reward these small officials?
Cao Rui seemed to be born to solve He Kun's predicament.
Just as He Kun thought this, Cao Rui's surprised voice came from outside the door."Brother He, you got into the top scorer?"
Then, Cao Rui, who was outside the door, said," It's been hard on the few of you to come and deliver the good news. Here are some silver taels. Brothers, take them and share them. Use them to buy wine to drink."”
Cao Rui knew that He Kun did not even have the money to stay in the hotel. How could he have the money to reward these small officials who reported the good news? He could only pay for it first.
Hearing that someone had finally solved his worries, He Kun quickly changed into his scholar's uniform and hat.
Fifteen minutes later, the door opened, and a handsome and modest scholar dressed in a red scholar's robe, a pearl-winged scholar's hat, and a pair of black tortoise boots appeared in everyone's eyes.
"As expected of this year's imperial court's top scholar in the gold division.”
Seeing the change in He Kun after he wore the scholar's robe, these small officials who were delivering the good news secretly praised in their hearts.
"Scholar, please! The scholar's horse was waiting outside the inn.”
The small official who was leading He Kun respectfully said.
"Can you let him parade with me?”
He Kun pointed at the fatty Cao Rui who was standing at the side.
He remembered that during this period of time, all his expenses in the imperial examinations were paid by Cao Rui.
Although he was a thick-skinned person sometimes, he would always remember these feelings in his heart.
"The champion! The imperial court had never had such a rule since ancient times.”
Hearing He Kun's words, the minor official replied.
"Brother He, don't say anymore. Just go quickly. I still have to wait for my ranking in the court examinations, so I won't go.”
Hearing He Kun's words, Cao Rui was shocked and hurriedly waved his hand.
"Then what if I let him follow me?"
He Kun pondered for a moment before asking the official from earlier.
The official nodded.”
