Liu Hao stayed in the He Residence until late at night.
He Shen slowly returned. When he saw Liu Hao, He Shen's eyes opened slightly,"Liu Hao, how long have you been here?”
"After I left the palace, I didn't dare to go home. I've been waiting here for Lord He!”Liu Hao bowed slightly.
"Liu Hao!" He Shen slightly retracted his gaze and slowly said,"In the future, you can't call yourself a student anymore. You have to call yourself a subordinate!”
Liu Hao suddenly realized that he was definitely an official now.
The Qing Dynasty's way of addressing themselves was also very interesting. In the braid play, they all called themselves slaves. In fact, in the Qing Dynasty's memorials, official documents, and when they met the emperor, many officials often called themselves " slaves," but there were also some who called themselves " ministers."
For a long time after the Manchu people entered the pass, the titles of officials were quite chaotic. Many Han officials called themselves slaves to adapt to the environment, while many Manchu officials called themselves ministers to improve their status. It was only during the Yongzheng period that the Qing court began to formally regulate the title, requiring that all officials, regardless of whether they were Manchu or Han, must be addressed as "ministers." But in fact, only the Han officials were regulated. The Manchu officials were still addressed casually and did not strictly follow the rules.
During the Qianlong period, the specifications of titles were further refined. Qianlong demanded that "in order to preserve the old Manchu style," Manchu ministers were called ministers for official business and slaves for private affairs. Han officials could only be called ministers, but Manchu and Han military officers had to be called slaves. At this point, the Qing Dynasty's rules of addressing servants and ministers were confirmed.

It was always better to call yourself a subject than a servant.
Liu Hao wasn't interested in belittling his own character.
However, Liu Hao was still extremely curious as to what rank he was in. He Shen had clearly seen through Liu Hao's thoughts. He immediately smiled and slowly opened his mouth,"Liu Hao, there will naturally be a notice at the noon gate tomorrow. You can go and take a look tomorrow.!”
Liu Hao was silent for a moment before nodding,""Yes, sir!"
……
He returned to his own residence.
Liu Hao took a deep breath and fell asleep.
No matter what, he was already in high school.
Even if he couldn't be the top scholar, he would at least be the second best. No matter how bad he was, he was only a Jinshi. With He Shen's methods, it was not a problem for him to be a magistrate.
After the storm ended, it finally cleared up.
The final ranking list was ready to be announced. The nearby inns near the examination hall were already full. Even the firewood houses had been booked. Everyone was waiting for the news.
The capital city in April seemed to be much hotter. In this weather where everything was waking up, under this pleasant temperature, countless people were nervous, uneasy, and broke out in a cold sweat.
On the 20th day of the fourth lunar month, the list was finally released. An examiner, accompanied by a few bailiffs, went to the stone pavilion outside with an oil umbrella and posted the red list.
There were already sharp-eyed examinees waiting nearby for a long time. When they saw someone bring out the results, they immediately exploded into a pot of boiling water. Countless people continuously surged over.
In countless feudal societies, the imperial examination was the only way to rise. Whether or not one would get a reward from studying hard at a cold window seemed to be related to this thin piece of red paper.
In an instant, countless examinees surrounded the place. Immediately, some laughed wildly, some cried on the spot, and some even fainted.
All living beings were different.
It was quite a scene of Fan Jin passing the imperial examination.
The scene was very chaotic. Those who couldn't squeeze in, seeing that there was no hope in the rankings, were willing to join in the fun. They went to various inns to invite friends. Large groups of students were rushing over.
Liu Hao had obviously come over a long time ago. Although he slept soundly last night, Liu Hao still woke up early.
He thought that he should at least appear a little more anxious.
However, what surprised Liu Hao was that even though he had already woken up very early, in reality...
There were obviously too many people today. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people.
Liu Hao was regretting his decision. He should not have come over. It would have been better to wait for the news quietly. He should have come to announce the news directly. At this moment, he was moving through the crowd, pushing and shoving anxiously.
However, most of them had similar thoughts as Liu Hao. They all wanted to see how their results were.
There were also many people who had stayed here the entire night.
Before Liu Hao arrived in front of the rankings, he suddenly heard a heart-wrenching roar. " I got it…I got it…Top three…It's the top three…The heavens have pity on me. I, Li Daofeng…Father…Mother…Child…Child…"
This person looked up at the sky with tears streaming down his face. Although he was one of the top three, after taking this step, he would officially become an official. The difference between officials and civilians was like a bottomless abyss. After taking this step, his life would completely change.
Liu Hao looked at this person, but there was no change in his expression. He secretly despised him and couldn't help but think,"He's really useless. With this little ability, even I, the top scorer in high school, wouldn't be nervous!”
As he thought about this, Liu Hao still came to the front of the rankings. His gaze directly looked at the first name.
First rank, first place!
Liu Hao!
When he saw his name, Liu Hao subconsciously clenched his fists, but his face could not help but reveal an ecstatic expression."I got it, I got it!"
From then on, his identity was completely different.
In his previous life, Liu Hao was only a low-level civil servant. But now, he was at least a high-ranking official in the imperial court.
In his previous life, he was considered to be at the bottom level, but here, he was naturally a high official and had a high salary. Liu Hao had to admit that this was the charm of the imperial examination. In the morning, he was a farmer, and in the evening, he was promoted to the emperor's hall. In a day and night, it was like the world was reversed.
Before, you could be worthless, but now, you're high and mighty.
In his previous life, he had to work his way up step by step from the bottom, but it was different now. As long as he passed the exam, he would be a proper official. In the past, he walked a single-plank bridge, but now it was a broad road. From now on, he would no longer be fawning over others, but waiting for others to fawn over him.
Top scorer!
