Rise From the Humble

The noisy cars and horses are about to go up to the sky, and the list of people exploring the east hall has been hung.

Thousands of miles are free to buy money, and Santai still borrows Yulian money.

The words float and drink, the shadows are bright and the clouds are bright, and the sunshine is bright and colorful.

On the pavilion in front of Twelfth Street, who doesn't look at the gods with the roller shutters.

——Xu Kui's "Ranking Day"

Time flies, and it's time for the first government exam to release the rankings. This one is the main one, and those who are not on the rankings will not be able to take the next exam. Zhu Ping'an was once again pushed by his uncle Zhu Shouren and others. The place where the test results are released, that is, in front of the gate of the examination room "Anqing Mansion Examination Institute". At this time, the list has been suspended, and it is still the same as the first three county examinations, with seat numbers written on it, and it is also divided into two lists, A and B. In front of the ranking list, people were crowded, shoulders rubbed against each other, and there was a lot of voices. There was a constant exchange of candidates and spectators.

There were many acquaintances watching the list, such as Yushu Linfeng, Tongcheng Xia Luoming and others who were smiling. Hearing 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 Jingxian Poetry, many of them have pale faces and look like they have been hit hard. The feeling of being refreshed and giving advice in the past no longer exists. I failed.

The uncle and others still asked for Zhu Ping'an's seat number as before, and then began to tiptoe to look at the list, much more active than Zhu Ping'an.

"Uh, why did I fail the ranking. Ah, Angie is at the top of the ranking again. It's so strange."

One of the fellow villagers was the first to read 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 appear on the first list again.

From the county examination to the current government examination, every time Zhu Ping'an got the first place in high school, so that when his uncle Zhu Shouren found Zhu Ping'an's seat in the first place, he almost got used to the feeling of disappointment and surprise, although this time he also held it with confidence. Great expectations are coming.

There are more than 900 students and scholars who have passed the county examination in Anqing Prefecture. All of them came to participate in the government examination. Eighty people were listed in the first list, and more than 200 students were listed in the second list. There are about 300 students in total. There are more than 600 students in the school who have fallen into the sand. Except for Zhu Ping'an, there is only one fellow on the list, and the other two fellows have failed. The two fellows who have failed at the moment can be described as extremely sad. Uncle Zhu Shouren and others and a fellow on the list gathered around them to comfort them. The two of them found a restaurant, and they were probably going to get drunk to relieve their worries.

"Oh, it looks like Brother Zhu Xian has been named on the gold list again." Su Song, Feng Shanshui and others came over with a smile.

Zhu Pingan bowed his hands and said with a light smile, "It's just a fluke."

"How could there be so much luck? It's because of strength. Zhu Xiandi is too modest." Su Song Feng Shanshui retorted with a smile, and after a few more congratulations, he was dragged to drink by everyone in the same industry.

When Tongcheng Xia Luoming passed by Zhu Ping'an, he nodded slightly, his face still full of arrogance.

Not long after Xia Luoming and the others left in Tongcheng, Zhu Ping'an was also about to leave, but was stopped by a hustle and bustle. He turned around and looked at the hustle and bustle.

"The harm of stereotyped writing is even worse than Qin's burning of books to resist Confucianism!"

Immediately someone next to him laughed and said, "Your words are serious, but it's just a personal anger for failing the ranking. It's just another year in the cold window, so why bother!"

"Beard and hair are white, I'm afraid it will be difficult"

Amid the ridicule of the crowd, the grey-haired examinee threw all the four books and five classics in his hand on the ground angrily, saying angrily: "Stupid essays, stereotyped essays, sooner or later, the river will be ruined!"

Before the gray-haired examinee could finish speaking, he was gagged by the villagers who were rushing to take the exam together. Regardless of his struggle, he apologized to the people around him and said, "I'm ashamed, ashamed, my friend drank too much and talked nonsense, everyone, please don't worry about it." Seriously."

The people around can also understand the mood after failing the ranking, so they don't dwell on it any more. They should be happy and sad, and the front of the ranking is full of hustle and bustle again.

Zhu Pingan sighed, shook his head and left. If you can't change this era, then adapt to this era, and try your best to go to the forefront and influence this era.

After the official rankings were announced, the second exam started on the second day. The procedure was the same as the first exam. The difference was that there were a lot fewer people and the speed was much faster.

The content of this exam is judgment, which is actually writing in practical style. One of the questions in this scene is very interesting. It is a case during the Yongle period, and it is also the famous Kunqu opera "Fifteen Guan". In this case, Zhu Pingan had watched the TV series of the same name describing this case in his previous life, so it is not difficult to write.

At dusk, the examinees who had finished answering the test papers handed in their papers one after another, got their exit cards and left. Zhu Pingan double-checked them carefully as usual.

After leaving the examination room, I found that many candidates were discussing the case of Shiwuguan in whispers. Many people said that this question was a bit embarrassing, but fortunately it was only one of the questions, otherwise the whole person would collapse.

There was no acquaintance outside the door, so Zhu Ping'an left on his own, bought some food on the way back, and returned to the inn.

When Zhu Ping'an just opened the door, the vixen in the inn yelled and snatched all the food from Zhu Ping'an's hand. He didn't care to say anything, so he sat at the table and started eating quickly.

"Looking at you iron cock, and buying another drink, I know you did well in this exam again."

"Heck, he won't fail the ranking. Heck, sour Confucianism"

When she was 80% full, the girl took a sip of the wine, pursed her lips, and spoke with a smile.

Looking at the demon girl who was holding the wine jar in her slender hand, showing half of her bright skin and still smiling coquettishly, and hearing her sneer with an iron cock on the left and a sour scholar on the right, Zhu Pingan just smiled and shook his head, then sat on the table and ate himself. that dinner.

"Little benefactor, little lord, which one do you like to hear?" The full-fledged witch put her slender cheeks in her hands, looked at Zhu Pingan who was eating with gusto, and asked with a smile.

Zhu Ping'an had something stuffed in his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he was speechless.

The demon girl didn't wait for Zhu Ping'an to open her mouth, she giggled and said, "Although you are not big, you are full of bad things, don't think I don't know, the first time I remember calling you little benefactor, your face was expressionless; But the corners of your mouth twitched when I first called you Mr.

Zhu Ping'an was really speechless, he was frightened, okay!

"Hehehe, look at your stupidity, stop daydreaming, the book is full of nonsense, little brother, wake up."

The witch rolled her eyes and laughed.

"All of you scholars are the hearts of wolves and the lungs of dogs. You usually wear a piece of human skin. Once you get out of the head, you will expose your nature, grin your teeth, and be extremely ugly."

While watching Zhu Ping'an eating with her fragrant cheeks, the demon girl made fun of her sarcastically.

Zhu Pingan swallowed a mouthful of food, glanced at the demon girl, and said calmly, "You eat my food, drink my food, sleep with me, and arrange me. Tell me, who are the two of us?"

The demon girl with her slender hands resting on her fragrant cheeks 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 fishing for big fish with a long line, and what is going on in your mind? s things"

Zhu Pingan couldn't help but sneered when he heard the words, and ignored this nervous vixen.
