Chapter 83: Announcement (Congratulations to Dragon Boat Festival for collecting it)

 In the sarcasm of everyone, Zhu Ping'an calmly ate the two dishes he ordered and the steamed bun beef soup, and touched his slightly swollen belly and went back to the room to rest.

Looking at Zhu Ping'an's back as he left, the sounds of mocking in the lobby were heard one after another.

"This fool has a good appetite..."

"I've had two meals in the exam room, and now I've eaten two whole buns and a big bowl of beef soup and two dishes. Is he a pig..."

"I'm ashamed to be with this person."

Amid the mockery of Zhu Ping'an, the atmosphere that had been tense for the whole day disappeared unconsciously. Perhaps this was also an unexpected gain for everyone.

He ate and drank well and slept soundly. On the morning of the next day, Zhu Ping'an put his schoolbag in his cross-body and walked out with a black wooden board as usual.

In the inn, snoring sounds were everywhere. The students who had been nervous yesterday were rarely relaxed, and they all slept sweetly.

Stepping on the wet bluestone slab, I came to the riverside again, put the black wooden boards, rubbed my hands and started the daily compulsory course.

After the rising sun dyed half of the sky red, and the visibility was high, Zhu Ping'an took out a brush and black wooden board, took out a copy of the "Ming Da Gong" and the "Ming Law" and the laws published today from his schoolbag and read it with relish.

Because the second exam was to test the judgment, five words, name, form, internal and subject. At this time, I reviewed the laws of the Ming Dynasty and became more impressed by the examination. In fact, the Ming Dynasty was very interesting. This was compiled by Lao Zhu himself, and he emphasized severe punishment. Lao Zhu was simply using everything to promote this law, and he printed tens of millions of volumes. He ordered officials and the people to study the "Great Edict". Each official had a book and each household had one. Of course, severe punishments and laws were not in line with the trend of history. Lao Zhu's successors put it aside. The current function was to take the imperial examination.

While watching with relish, the girls and wives who wash yarn and pound rice came again. Now they are no longer surprised by this young man who sits by the river to read books early in the morning. It can also be used as a conditioner for feudal ethics that they have suppressed for a long time. They have to tease a few words every day before they stop.

There are so many big girls and little wives together, so they are not afraid of gossiping.

"Little scholar, why didn't I see you reading a book yesterday? Hehe, could it be..." A bold little wife made a brisk voice in the crowd.

Then there were a large group of women laughing and the shy and angry girl of the unmarried girl.

Zhu Ping'an is no longer surprised by these big girls and little wives every morning.

"I went to the county exam yesterday, and I went to the exam." Zhu Ping'an put the book back into his schoolbag and prepared to leave.

Zhu Ping'an and these young ladies and wives had almost reached a tacit understanding. Whenever they came here to pound rice, wash clothes, Zhu Ping'an would take away the things and leave.

"Hehehe, I want me to tell you, just be a little scholar, you will definitely pass the exam every day."

Listening to the sound coming from behind, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but smile. Since taking the imperial examination, he has heard all the words "failed to pass the exam and had a lot of experience". This is the first time he has heard someone say that he can pass the exam.

"Thank you, I'll lend you a good word."

Zhu Ping'an didn't look back, and waved his hand and thanked loudly.

Zhu Ping'an's words made the eldest girl and his wife laughed so hard. If someone else said something humbly, I would be far from it. He would be embarrassed and would not blush. He would not blush if he borrowed you auspicious words. He was really an interesting young man.

Leaving the riverside, Zhu Ping'an found another snack, which seemed to taste Huaining's delicacies.

I spent one day like this, and repeated another day.

On the second day, when Zhu Ping'an returned to the inn after breakfast, he found that the students in the inn were very excited and messed up.

"Hurry, go quickly, the county magistrate is about to break the case."

As soon as the sound came out, the crowd was angry and their faces turned red, either expecting or being nervous, and a large group of people ran out.

Even Zhu Ping'an, who had just returned, was pulled out by his uncle Zhu Shouren and others.

The whole street seemed like a drop of cold water splashed on the oil pan, and the noise was boiling.

Zhu Ping'an was pulled and pulled by his uncle and others, and almost bumped out the crab roe soup wrapped in lotus seed soup I ate in the morning.

The place where the county magistrate released the results was in an open space outside the county government office. The county magistrate released the results was called "Case". Before the time was yet, the walls that posted the list of cases were already crowded with students and candidates. They all wanted to fight to grab a good position. Zhu Ping'an and the others came late, so they had to be on the periphery.

Fortunately, the case has not yet occurred, and the students and scholars have not lost their composure. Some people are still kneeling at this time and chanting words carefully. Listen carefully, they are praying for the blessings and blessings of passing gods and put on the list.

"The first case estimate is to buy it and leave."

"The students in this book have 50 notes."

There was a noise next to it. It turned out that someone had opened a trade deal near the place where the crime was reported and made a prediction about the crime.

At this time, few scholars criticized this, and most of them were actively involved, saying that betting on a good lottery is also a matter of elegant things.

"Yu'er, why is your seat number?" Uncle Zhu Shouren looked at the handicap and asked with a keen look. Because the first three cases in the county examination were all announced seat numbers, and only after the last case was admitted, the name would be announced and the case would be reported, which was called the "Long Case", so Uncle would ask Zhu Ping'an's seat number.

Well

Seeing my uncle like this, I must bet that I won't win.

Zhu Ping'an told his uncle Zhu Shouren his seat number, and his uncle immediately held a handful of copper coins and squeezed into the crowd.

After a while, the uncle came out with the money again and was dejected. Zhu Ping'an asked and found out that there was no name in the market. There was no one among the ten people who predicted the case. Even the final prediction of the list B was not self-proclaimed. It shows how unpopular he was.

After a long time, a gong was heard, and several yamen runners in big red uniforms were playing suona, surrounded by a slight official holding the list text. The people were excited and made a way to let them go in and post the list.

The list of documents is very big, and the minor official stepped on a high chair with the help of the yamen runners to post the big red list of documents on the high wall.

This is a large piece of red paper. The seat number is written on the list. There are roughly more than 700 seat numbers in total. They are written in a circle on the list. The characters are also very large and can be seen even on the outside of the crowd.

Soon the crowd became boiling, and the sound of joy and sorrow came one after another. Some people were overjoyed and shouted that I had won the same thing, and they grabbed the person next to them and shook them. Some people were crying and shouting that there were frauds in the county magistrate exams and other words, and they were crying and snatching the ground with their heads...

Zhu Ping'an stood on tiptoe slightly and carefully looked for his seat number in the list. Before he could read the full list, he heard the excited voice of his uncle next to him.

"Sure enough, there is really no seat number for Yuerru on the list. It's okay, it's okay. If you have the experience of failing the chart this time, the chances will be greater in the next year."

Uncle Zhu Shouren stroked his beard and comforted Zhu Ping'an with the style of an elder, but his eyebrows were full of joy. Well, you guys didn't win, the county exam is not as easy as you imagined. Uncle, I am a child, my title of child, is hard-earned, I am envious, jealous and hate me.

The more than ten students who came with the exam, except for the uncle and two other children, who did not have to take the exam, the eleven students and scholars who took the county exam this time were on the list, and the comfort of those who were on the list did not appear on the list, and the feeling was high.

Of course, Zhu Ping'an is the focus of consolation. It is actually more appropriate to describe it as ridicule.

Someone laughed at me and said: If you can come to the exam, the purpose of making up numbers will be achieved, and the sarcastic words such as infinite merits.

Even if you are comforting, it is the same: Although you didn’t pass the exam, you ate very well in the exam room.

Or it is just a joke without any concealment, such as eating buckets, being bitten by snakes, and having birds cried, and having a dilapidated firewood house to be on the list.

Just as everyone was laughing at him, another gong sounded, and several big red runners came surrounded by a small official.

"This county trial conducted a case of 50 first-class people and the first-ranked cases are listed here. If you are giving up, please support me, and Rong Wu will post this list."

The minor official saw that everyone was surrounded by the B-class list he had just posted and could not enter, so he couldn't help but speak loudly, called everyone, made way out, and took the yamen runners in to post.

"Comfort" Zhu Ping'an's uncle Zhu Shouren and more than ten students ignored this. The fifty-tenths in the A-class and the heads of the case have no relationship with Zhu Ping'an's designation. Those in the A-class and those in the case are all real talents. Zhu Ping'an only knows how to eat when he enters the examination room, so everyone continues to "comfort" Zhu Ping'an.

"You are a bucket of rice. From now on, use the energy of eating to read books..."

"Your article is probably covered in oil and is considered cheating by the county magistrate. You must not do this in the future..."

"Don't be discouraged, although you failed this time, you have accumulated experience... I will devote myself to my efforts in the future, and my uncle will take time to teach you..."

Slap, everyone was talking, and suddenly, a trembling voice came...

"All... brothers... there is a number on the A-level list, which seems to be Ange'er's..."

When the people who were laughing at him and heard this, they stopped abruptly as if they had swallowed a piece of flies. Then they subconsciously looked up at the first-class list just posted.

Ding Chou

It's on the list

It is Zhu Ping'an's seat number
