The noisy carriages and horses are about to reach the sky, and the list of people exploring the east hall has been hung.
Thousands of miles away, gold and silver are everywhere, but Santai still borrows money from jade.
The words float on the wine and the shadows are shining brightly, and the sun shines on the clothes and the auspicious colors are bright.
On the pavilion in front of Twelfth Street, who wouldn’t look at the gods with the rolling curtains?
Time flies, and it’s time to release the results for the first round of the government examination. This round is the main round. Those who are not on the list cannot take the next exam. Zhu Pingan is once again pushed here by his uncle Zhu Shouren and others.
The place where the results of the Prefectural Examination are released is in front of the gate of the examination room "Anqing Prefectural Examination Yuan". At this time, the list has been hung, and it is still the same as the first three county examinations. The seat number is written on it, and it is also divided into two lists: A and B.
There was a lot of crowds, people rubbing shoulders, and a lot of people coming and going, as well as candidates and spectators coming and going.
There were many acquaintances looking at the list, such as Yushu Linfeng, Tongcheng Xialuoming and others with a smile on their faces. Listening to the compliments and congratulations from the people around them, they had smiles on their faces, as if they were expected to be on the list.
Of course, there are also some other acquaintances who have met once in the Jingxian Shihui. Many of them have gray faces and are shocked. The feeling of being refreshed and guiding the country no longer exists. It seems that
It was a failure.
The uncle and others still asked for Zhu Pingan's seat number as before, and then started to tiptoe to look at the list, which was much more active than Zhu Pingan.
"Uh, why did I fail the list...Ah, Brother An is top of the list again, that's weird..."
One of the fellow countrymen took the lead in reading the entire list and did not find his seat. He was surprised and disappointed. He was even more surprised when he saw Zhu Pingan's seat number appeared on the list again.
From the county examination to the main examination of the current government, Zhu Ping'an has always been ranked first in high school, so that when his uncle Zhu Shouren found Zhu Pingan's seat in the first list, he was almost accustomed to the feeling of disappointment and surprise, although this time he also held the top position.
Great expectations are coming.
About 900 students and scholars from Anqing Prefecture who passed the county examination all came to take the prefectural examination. In the main list, there were 80 people in the A list and more than 200 people in the B list, a total of about 300 people, which means that they passed the county examination.
More than 600 of our students have fallen into disgrace. Apart from Zhu Pingan, there is only one other fellow who is on the list, and the other two fellows have failed. At this moment, the two fellows who have failed are extremely sad. The uncle Zhu Shouren
In order to comfort them, the others and a fellow villager who was on the list gathered the two of them and found a restaurant, where they expected to get drunk and drown their sorrows.
"Oh, it looks like Zhu Xiandi has been nominated for the gold medal again." Su Song, Feng Shanshui and others came over and said with a smile.
Zhu Ping'an bowed his hands and said with a slight smile, "It's just a fluke."
"How can there be so much luck? It's because of his strength. Brother Zhu Xian is too modest." Su Song and Feng Shanshui retorted with a smile. After congratulating a few more words, he was dragged along by his colleagues to drink.
When Tongcheng Xia Luoming passed by Zhu Pingan, he nodded slightly, his face still full of arrogance.
Shortly after Tongcheng Xia Luoming and others left, Zhu Pingan was about to leave, but was hindered by a burst of noise. He turned around and looked towards the noise, only to see a gray-haired half-hundred-year-old candidate with messy beard and hair, pointing to the list and shouting:
“The harm caused by stereotyped writing is especially severe when Qin burned books to resist Confucianism!”
Someone next to him immediately sneered and said, "What you said is very serious, but it's just a matter of personal anger for failing to pass the exam. It's just a year of hard work, so why bother!"
"My beard and hair have turned white, I'm afraid it will be difficult..."
In the midst of everyone's ridicule, the gray-haired examinee angrily threw all the four books and five classics in his hand on the ground, and said angrily: "Eight-legged and eight-legged essays will sooner or later ruin the river..."
Before the gray-haired examinee could finish speaking, he was blocked by a fellow villager who was rushing to take the exam next to him. Regardless of his struggle, he apologized to the people around him and said, "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed. I'm drunk. I'm talking nonsense when I'm drunk."
People around me can also understand how I feel after failing the exam, so they no longer dwell on the matter. I am happy when I should be happy, sad when I should be sad, and there is a lot of noise in front of the exam again.
Zhu Ping'an sighed, shook his head and left. If you can't change this era, then adapt to this era and try your best to get to the forefront and influence this era.
After the official announcement of the results, the second exam began the next day. The procedures were the same as the first. The difference was that there were far fewer people and the speed was much faster.
The content of this exam is expression judgment, which is actually practical writing. There is a very interesting question in this exam. It is a case from the Yongle period and later the famous Kunqu opera "Fifteen Guan". This case Zhu Pingan had seen in his previous life
There was a TV series of the same name that described this case, so it was not difficult to write about it.
At dusk, the candidates who had finished answering the test papers handed in their papers one after another, received their door badges, and left. Zhu Pingan checked it twice carefully as usual. By the time they handed in their papers and left, they were almost the last ones to hand in their papers.
When I left the examination room, I found many candidates talking among themselves and discussing the fifteen cases. Many people said that this question was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately it was only one of the questions, otherwise they would probably collapse.
Not meeting anyone he knew outside the door, Zhu Ping'an left alone. He bought some food on the way back and returned to the inn.
When Zhu Pingan opened the door, the vixen in the inn screamed and snatched away the food in Zhu Pingan's hand. He didn't even bother to say anything, so he sat at the table and ate slowly but quickly.
"Looking at your iron cock and buying another drink, I know that you did well in this exam..."
"Kekeke... I won't fail the exam... Kekeke... Sour Confucian..."
When she was 80% full, the girl took a sip of wine, pursed her lips, and spoke with a smile.
Looking at the enchantress holding the wine jar in her slender hands, half of her fair skin exposed, and smiling coquettishly, and hearing the iron rooster on her left and the sour sneer on her right, Zhu Pingan just smiled and shook his head, then sat on the table and ate his own food.
of dinner.
"My dear benefactor, my dear husband... Who would you like to hear?" The enchantress, who had eaten and drank enough, held her fragrant cheeks in her slender hands and looked at Zhu Ping'an who was eating with relish across the table, and asked with a smile.
Zhu Ping'an's mouth was stuffed with something, and he had no time to swallow and was speechless.
The demon girl didn't wait for Zhu Pingan to speak, so she sneered and said, "Although you are not big, you are full of bad things. Don't think I don't know. When I called you my little benefactor for the first time, you had no expression on your face;
But when I called you my little husband for the first time, the corners of your mouth moved..."
Zhu Ping'an was really speechless. He was frightened, right?
"Keke, look at how stupid you are, stop daydreaming, the book is full of nonsense, little brother, wake up..."
The witch rolled her eyes and laughed.
"Every one of you scholars has the heart of a wolf and the lungs of a dog. You usually wear a human skin. Once you become a human being, your true nature will be exposed. You will show your teeth and grin, making you extremely ugly..."
The enchantress held up her fragrant cheeks and watched Zhu Ping'an eat while sarcastically teasing him.
Zhu Ping'an swallowed a mouthful of rice, glanced at the enchantress, and said calmly, "You eat me, drink me, sleep with me, and arrange for me. Tell me, who are we?"
The enchantress holding her cheeks in her slender hands rolled her eyes, played with her hair with one hand, and replied with a smile, "You scholars are the most insidious and cunning. Who knows if you are just fishing for a big fish with a long-term goal, or you are thinking about all kinds of nonsense."
s things......"
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sneered when he heard this and ignored the nervous vixen.
