Rise From the Humble

The horse's hooves are lightly raised, and lotuses grow at every step.

The warm spring breeze gently blew the birthday banquet at the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. The sound of horse hooves outside the palace gate was like fairy music. After everyone looked forward to it and thought about it, it finally sounded again on Gonghou Street. Everyone in the Huaihou Mansion became excited again, especially Fatty Zhou who wanted to stretch his neck out the door.

After a while, the boy came over and replied, saying that the person who announced the good news passed by Gonghou Street and went to another street to announce the good news. He said that the officer who announced the good news had already reported the eighty-eighth tribute.

"So quickly, we are already number eighty-eighth."

"You're already eighty-eight. Could it be that Xu Laosan also failed the exam? Hahaha, Fatty Zhou, you have company now."

The second-generation ancestors at Fatty Zhou's table began to laugh at Fatty again. While laughing at Fatty Zhou, they also ridiculed Mr. Xu.

They, the second-generation ancestors, were also a little envious of Xu Laosan. When Xu Laosan passed the imperial examination, everyone in Gonghou Street was shocked. Although there were many people from noble families who were literary students, they could pass the imperial examination and still be successful. Not many have such good rankings. If Xu Laosan passes the general examination this time, he will become even more famous and will surely dominate them in the future. Now they heard that the person who announced the good news had already reported to be eighty-eight, but there was no news that Xu Laosan had not won yet, which made them a little excited.

In response to the ridicule of these second-generation ancestors, Fatty Zhou did not do anything except stretching his head outwards and trying hard to listen.

Although Fatty Zhou had kissed him before, felt good about himself when doing the questions, and was full of confidence at first, as the ranking of the good news approached the top 100, Fatty Zhou became nervous, and the fat hand he held tightly was filled with tears. Some sweating.

Da da da.

Amid everyone's various expectations, the brisk sound of horse hooves sounded again on Gonghou Street. This time the sound of horse hooves was extremely clear, as if it was ringing in their ears. This sound of horse hooves came from far to near. Then it stopped abruptly.

Is that when the horse stopped? !

The sound of horse hooves seemed to have stopped in front of Linhuai Hou Mansion.

I finally waited for you. Fortunately, I didn’t give up. Happiness comes with difficulty...

Fatty Zhou suddenly stood up from the table, shook his fist vigorously, and his fat face twitched with excitement. It was finally Lao Zhi's turn. Hahaha

"Congratulations to Mr. Xu Penghui of Shuntian Prefecture for his successful report in the examination of Enke High School."

The clear and loud voice outside the door was like thunder exploding in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion. Fatty Zhou was like a big rooster about to sing loudly. It was as if someone had suddenly strangled his neck, and he couldn't even say a word.

"Xu Laosan actually ranked thirty-eight in high school!"

"Oh no, thirty-eight, Xu Laosan is so awesome!"

"Oh no, I didn't expect Xu Laosan to get the 38th place in the exam!"

Fatty Zhou and the second-generation ancestors at the table all had their mouths opened. Xu Penghui is Xu Laosan from Wei Guogong's mansion. Just now they thought that Xu Laosan could not win, but they didn't expect that Xu Laosan was so awesome that he suddenly got the 38th place. The palace examination doesn't show off, and the rankings don't change much. Xu Laosan, the third palace examiner, was a second-class Jinshi in high school. This is something that happened to the princes on the street.

Less than a minute after the announcer's voice ended, there was a burst of joyful noises from the Duke of Wei's Mansion next door to Linhuai Marquis Mansion, and then there was the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers.

The firecrackers in the Wei Guogong Mansion seemed to cost nothing. It lasted for a long time, and the joyful noise in the Duke of Wei's mansion lasted much longer than the sound of firecrackers.

Fatty Zhou looked in the direction of Duke Wei's Mansion with a fat face, feeling disappointed, his balls ached, his heart broken, and he had nowhere to say anything desolate.

Compared to the joy of the Wei Duke's Mansion, the Linhuai Marquis' Mansion was relatively deserted.

The literary skills of Xu Laosan in the Wei Guogong Palace are there. Since the Enlightenment, Xu Laosan's level has far surpassed Fatty Zhou's three streets. Xu Laosan won the 38th place. According to common sense, it is impossible for Fatty Zhou to be better than Xu Laosan.

then. The old lady of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion also looked a little unhappy. Even Fu Rudonghai and Shoubinanshan, who were all vying to compliment her, could not clear away the gloom in the old lady's heart.

"Fat Zhou, just give up on this. Xu Laosan hit thirty-eight. You can't be better than Xu Laosan, right?"

"Give up, hahaha, it's a toad, so don't even think about eating swan meat."

"That's right, hahaha."

The second-generation ancestors at the table with Fatty Zhou began to laugh at Fatty Zhou again, making no secret of their confidence that Fatty Zhou would fail.

"What's the rush? There are still thirty-seven places left!"

Fatty Zhou replied lacking confidence. Then the second-generation ancestors laughed louder.

Not long after, someone came to the Duke of Wei's residence. It was Xu Penghui, the 38th ranked student in high school, who walked straight to Fatty Zhou's table.

"Hehehe, you guys have been waiting for a long time. It's Xu's fault that you left the table early just now. After finishing my family affairs, I came over to apologize to you guys. Hehehe, I'll punish myself with three drinks. I'll punish myself with three drinks." cup."

Xu Penghui came over with a smile on his face. His smile was full of the charm of a young man who was full of ambition. He had just passed the general examination and was good at nouns. He walked over slowly, raising his chin slightly. He also looked very handsome. , the happiness of passing the examination made his face rosy, and his whole person looked full of vigor, smart and proud, and proud with a smile.

He was wearing a navy blue robe with green bamboo patterns embroidered on it. The clothes were of good quality and should be very expensive. When he came to this stop, he attracted everyone's attention.

The ladies from the Hou Mansion were originally sitting at that table in the room. When they heard that Xu Laosan was coming, they all trotted to the door and looked out with blushing faces.

He's handsome, smart, and talented. He's the 38th, 38th grader in high school. Xu Laosan is one year younger than Fatty Zhou. He is only seventeen this year. He won the thirty-eighth exam at the age of seventeen. He is no more talented than that.

The young ladies who have been provoked are full of love and affection.

Especially the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, who blushed and looked at the charming Xu Laosan outside the door, her heart almost flew out.

The sixth lady of the Hou family has not yet been engaged, and her family and the Duke of Wei's family are interested in marrying the two together. The two families have almost reached an agreement, but they have not yet gone through the procedures.

This is my future husband. He is better than the second sister’s, not to mention the fifth sister’s country bumpkin husband who has no future and behaves rudely. What’s the use of being beautiful when a husband is so useless. Hou Miss Fu Liu was so excited that she couldn't help but glance at the fifth sister Li Shu, wanting to see her envy, jealousy, and hatred.

However, to the disappointment of the sixth lady of the Hou Mansion, the fifth sister sat there calmly and calmly sipping tea.

Li Shu looked like she was just watching the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court. Looking at the sky, the clouds are rolling and relaxing.

The fifth sister must be pretending, yes, she must be pretending. I don't know why she is envious, jealous, and resentful in her heart. The sixth lady of the Hou Mansion curved her lips, and a smile that I guessed appeared on her lips.

"Has the good news from Brother Zhou come yet?" Xu Laosan asked casually, with a smile on his lips, Fatty Zhou, who was gritting his teeth.

Damn it!

Fatty Zhou.

The surrounding second-generation ancestors all laughed when they heard this, taunting Fatty Zhou and congratulating Xu Laosan.

beg. Fatty Zhou’s psychological shadow!

The announcement of the good news continued outside, and the servants came again and again to inform Huizhen Enke of the progress of the announcement.

Huizhen Enke is reported to be ranked tenth.

Huishan Enke finished sixth.

Every time the boys came to report, Fatty Zhou's heart became colder. As the report continued, Fatty Zhou's heart became colder and colder.

Enke, who came second in the examination, passed the Gonghou Street to Lord Yan Songyan's residence with the good news, and delivered the good news to Comrade Ouyang, the eldest son of Mr. Yan Ge's brother-in-law, who was staying at Yan's mansion.

At the same time, the news also reached the birthday banquet of Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

"Hahaha, Fatty Zhou, please stop sticking your head out. Don't think about it. It's impossible. There's no way you can pass the Huiyuan exam, hahaha."

"That's right, cry, cry, we won't laugh at you, hahaha."

"Fat Zhou still wants to know Yuan. It's really funny."

"If Fatty Zhou can still win, I will eat him on the spot."

"I eat it too"

When the second-generation ancestors heard the news that Enke had come in second place in the examination, they couldn't help it anymore and once again began to laugh at Fatty Zhou.

Xu Laosan also smiled involuntarily while drinking tea.

Fatty Zhou's face turned red. My hands were clenched, feeling embarrassed and annoyed, but there was nothing I could do about it. It's impossible for me to win the yuan.

Da da da.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the sound of horse hooves suddenly echoed on Gonghou Street outside the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

Da da da

The sound of horse hooves was like a drum, directly hitting everyone's hearts, making a buzzing sound and making huge waves.

what happened?

Everyone was shocked and looked outside involuntarily.

The sound of horse hooves was the same as before. It came from far to near, and then stopped abruptly in front of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion.

what's the situation?

Fatty Zhou looked out with his neck crooked. Is it that bastard walking his horse on Gonghou Street again? At this time, Fatty Zhou was not optimistic about his success.

"Good news, good news, good news for the examination. Congratulations to your young master for placing first in the examination at Enke High School."

"Good news, good news, good news for the examination. Congratulations to your young master for placing first in the examination at Enke High School."

There was a sound of brisk footsteps, and then seven or eight young men were seen running over, surrounded by two officers who were announcing the good news. As the officers walked, they loudly repeated the good news.

What?

Huiyuan?

The second-generation ancestors at Fatty Zhou's table had mouths as long as donkey's mouths. They were astonished as if they had swallowed Rexiang, as if they had been cast with a restraining charm. They maintained a surprised expression, with only one pair of eyes following them. Like a ghost, he stared at Fatty Zhou in surprise.

Even Fatty Zhou looked as if he had seen a ghost, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at the officer who announced the good news in a daze.

bang

The sound of a wine glass falling to the ground broke the deadlock.

It turned out that Xu Laosan, who was still smiling at first, turned pale when he heard the voice announcing the good news. He couldn't hold the wine glass in his hand and dropped it to the ground.

"Congratulations to the young master on your success in the examination for being the first in Enke High School." The messenger came to the birthday banquet and announced the good news loudly again.

Your young master! High school club! The only one taking the Linhuai Marquis Mansion exam is Fatty Zhou!

"Zhou Zhou. Fatty Zhou, damn, you are the winner!"

A second-generation ancestor said in a trembling voice. He reached out tremblingly to touch Fatty Zhou's fat face.

"Oh no, Zhou. Fatty Zhou, you are awesome. You, you are so good at it."

The eyes of the other second-generation ancestors changed when they looked at Fatty. At this moment, Fatty Zhou seemed to be exuding golden light. At this moment, Fatty Zhou seemed to be a god descending to earth. At this moment, Fatty Zhou's whole body was filled with light that surpassed all others.
