Chapter 59: The Ceremony Is Over
Don't miss it.
This is the hard work of grinding guns in battle, who would have thought that they would meet Xiliang people... Xue Qing stomped his feet, and at this time, the rotation queue had dispersed in a few steps, and the back in front of him was no longer Pang An, but Pei Yanzi... Life is so unpredictable, just like she didn't expect her family to suffer a catastrophe, and no one can be fully prepared.
The ritual of the drill was used by the soldiers gathered, Xue Qing and Pei Yanzi, who turned around, stepped back side by side, the eyes around and what amazing movements the Xiliang candidates made, she never paid attention to it, how others did it, could not decide how she did.
The sound of the drum was deep and intense, and Xue Qingkong held it like a bow and arrow in his hand.
In fact, this matter didn't have to be so hard, even if she gave up the race, there was no loss, and it didn't make sense to score points in the competition... The whole thing was actually just unconvinced, she could have laughed it off, starting when she was at Fankou Station, but... She's not that kind of person.
In the end, she is stubborn in her bones, just like she was stubborn at the beginning, she did not collapse after encountering a catastrophe, but silently prepared to learn revenge.
Two words of life, unconvinced.
A trombone ended, Xue Qing stopped, the black robe she was wearing in just four ceremonies was already wet, she looked around, yes, all the candidates in Chang'an Mansion are here, as long as they don't give up the exam, they will have scores.
"That's all there is left. Zhang Shuangtong said.
Looking at the examiners who were resting in front of them, Song Yuan who was yawning, and then looking at the other candidates around him, mainly looking at Xiliang people.... The Xiliang candidates are still in good spirits, and they don't even sweat on their faces in the daylight, they don't look like individuals.... Pang An's face turned a little pale again, and he said in a low voice, "Which one will they choose for the last Jiali?"
Xue Qing said: "It should be to worship the prince...", his eyes swept over the Xiliang candidates, although he was not sure which one, but the prince of Xiliang was definitely among them.... It is most appropriate to worship the prince, and looked at Pang An again, "Leave them alone, just do your own." ”
There are many kinds of Jiali, and the candidates in Chang'an Mansion are also preparing differently, Pang An took a deep breath, and the wait was not long, and soon the examiners stood up again, and the ceremonial officer signaled for the exam to begin.
Jiali's music was much softer than the previous four salutes, and the candidates in the field moved with each other, and the Xiliang candidates were still uniform.
The sight of the candidates who are cast to Xiliang is still the most, but there are other options.
"Look, those two..."
“.. It's a feast....."
“.. It's a nice jump.."
“.. It looks powerful but a little delicate..."
Yes, the dance is so beautiful, to put it bluntly, these five rites are dances, from the sacrificial witch dance in ancient times.... More and more eyes were drawn to the two young men in the queue beside Xiliang candidates.
One is seventeen or eighteen years old, the other is fourteen or fifteen years old, he still looks a little childish, wearing a black robe, although his complexion is not as dazzling and handsome as that of Xiliang in the examination, but it is beautiful, light, gentle and elegant.
“.. The action is very steady.. It's beautiful..."
“.. It's the first time I've thought a man can be so beautiful dancing..."
”... He's laughing..."
Someone muttered, looking at the middle of the field, and the young man in the field turned his head.....
Xue Qing smiled slightly, she remembered that the last time she watched the candidate's movements were to add expressions, the etiquette at the banquet was naturally more cheerful, turned around and bent down to salute, and then got up again but Pei Yanzi was turning around before meeting, I don't know if it was the action or he deliberately, his figure was slightly paused, and he bowed to Xue Qing, just like a salute to Xue Qing.
On the feast, the guests and hosts were happy, the etiquette was still exchanged, Xue Qing smiled at him, stretched out his hand to please take a step, Pei Yanzi thanked him for the gift, Xue Qing asked again, Pei Yanzi stepped forward with a salute and stretched out his arm...
"Oh look... They feasted together..."
Between the two equal guests, from the first acquaintance to the wine and talk, it is much more pleasant than the big scene of the Xiliang candidates over there... The reason why candidates like them come to participate in the gentleman's examination is because they have no way to enter the ranks, and the great gifts of the princes are out of reach, and it is common to go to the banquet with wine and words.
More and more eyes were cast on the two young men, and even the examiners on the side were quite distracted.
Xue Qing's mood was a little relaxed, although she was a genius, but in view of the unreliable reversal of the treatment of this protagonist, the five rituals of grinding guns and rote memorization are really a little unbearable now, fortunately, there is Pei Yanzi, who can be learned and used now, and it is a feast and a dance.
Sitting, toasting, returning the salute, rejoicing, getting up, shaking the negative hand, stepping and shaking the body and looking at each other with a smile, dancing sleeves like a crane spreading its wings, and then circling...
Pei Yanzi smiled shallowly, looking at Xue Qing who walked over and smiled sideways, the young man's face was a little gray in the past, his face was much fairer, and his eyes were crooked..... It's a look I've never seen before, different from the reserved degree of the Dragon Boat Festival song, different from the calm and introverted when the bright moon is in the head of the water tune song, different from the hidden caution of the moonlit night in the Spring River, and different from the sharpness of the young chivalry.... So playful and relaxed.
It's really happy and happy.
What is there to be happy about? Pei Yanzi smiled slightly, bared his teeth, turned around and stepped back.
Xue Qingzhan shook his sleeves lightly as if he was drunk, and he looked up and smiled.
The breath outside the field seemed to condense instantaneously.
Liu Chunyang, who was in the field, also happened to turn around and saw that his body was numb, and the young man had a beautiful posture and a dazzling smile in the daylight..... This feeling has been felt before, the moment I saw Zong Zhou biting the girl's neck under the lamp in Shuangyuan that night... White skin, beautiful facial features, and red blood flowing from the mouth... That's why only youkai are so beautiful.
After a drum sounded, the condensation dissipated, and the noise suddenly began.
Xue Qing raised his hand to Pei Yanzi, Pei Yanzi also raised his hand to return the salute, and the two bowed to each other and got up.
Zhang Shuangtong couldn't hold back a long groan.
"Hugh is to be noisy. The ceremonial officer scolded.
Zhang Shuangtong didn't speak again, only his eyebrows fluttered, and he said, "The exam is finally over." He sighed again, "I didn't expect me to work so hard one day." ”
I thought it was the easiest first subject, but I didn't expect to sweat and tremble in one breath, and it was even more incredible that he had always believed in pleasure and finished the exam, and according to his previous habits, he threw his sleeves and lay down under the long shed at the end of the first item.... He doesn't have to do it.
The other candidates were more deeply touched than him, and their expressions were different, but only the Xiliang candidates still smiled indifferently.
"The test scores are coming out immediately. One of the Xiliang candidates asked.
The ceremonial officer didn't scold him, but nodded in response: "Wait outside, your scores will be announced before the end of the game begins." He stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, where there was a wooden shelf on which several pieces of paper had been posted, and the results of the previous exams had been announced.
The candidates scattered and rushed over there, waiting excitedly and nervously, while the other candidates, except for those who were waiting to play, almost all followed, much more than the previous onlookers.
How many points can I get? Who is the best?
Looking at the people rushing to the list, the candidates waiting for the next exam breathed a sigh of relief, they didn't have to accept such terrible onlookers, it was pressure... But at the same time, there is some loss, aren't we as good as they do?
It was a little longer than the previous time for the results to be announced, and it can be seen that the examiners were also under pressure this time, until the next exam began, the scribe in charge of transcription came over with a scroll, and first opened the scroll and pasted it on the wooden list under the gaze of many eyes, and before he left, the crowd rushed up.
....

(In this chapter, you can read in conjunction with a post, Tianya has an old post called "Men Also Make Ni Dress Dances - Inventory of Those Dances in the 94 Version of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and Xue Qing and Pei Yanzi salute see the male trio dance of Cao Zhi and Yang Xiu Ding Yi...... Will be disillusioned, hahahaha.)
