The news soon spread to the crowd in the entire Gongyuan Square, that is, the belonging of Xie Yuan, the first place in the undergraduate examination, and the first place in the Lin'an Mansion Laurel List, which is known as the Toad Palace......

That's right, it is Qin Hui's grandson, Qin Tan, who is known as Qin Wugongzi.

Hearing the news, some of the students were dumbfounded, some were envious, some muttered and cursed, and some laughed dumbly.

Fang Zi'an and the others were also stunned for a moment when they heard the news, and Zhao Changlin specially pulled a few people to confirm it and found that it was true. There are many students from noble backgrounds who have begun to shout that they want to go to the Qin Mansion to report the good news and ask for rewards.

"It's incredible, Qin Tan's guy can get the first? This shows that there is a shady scene, this is a blatant shady scene. Is this when everyone is deaf, blind, and stupid? Brother Zi'an, there must be something greasy here, right? Qian Kang scolded angrily.

"Brother Qian, why bother? How do you know that Qin Tan has no talent to learn? You can't take it for granted that just because he's Qin Hui's grandson, right? Don't be impatient, don't be impatient. Fang Zi'an said with a smile.

"What, Brother Zi'an, do you actually believe that Qin Tan has real talent and learning? Aren't you joking? Qian Kang blushed and said.

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Why can't you have real talent and real learning? Even if you have an insider, how are you going to go? Where are you going to make trouble? People dare to give the first place Xie Yuan to Qin Tan, because they are not afraid of people making trouble, everything has been arranged properly, and there are absolutely no flaws. If you don't believe it, Qin Tan's articles will definitely circulate in the future, and they will definitely be every word and worthy of the name. Do you believe it or not? ”

Zhao Changlin said: "Brother Zi'an is saying that they have already colluded, maybe the exam questions have been leaked in advance, then Qin Tan has already asked someone to make an article to memorize, the article must be an excellent article, so that people can't find out the clues, right?" ”

Fang Zi'an smiled: "Brother Changlin, I didn't say anything, these are all your own conjectures. I only know that I care about whether we are on the red list or not, and whether he Qin Tan is too good to understand the yuan, that is not something we can control. ”

Qian Kang chopped his feet and said, "How can Brother Zi'an say such a thing? It's not like you. With such an obvious shady scene, how could Brother Zi'an ignore it? Maybe this Xie Yuan is your brother An's, aren't you angry? This guy has dominated the first place, isn't it in vain that others have worked hard to study in the cold window? Such unfairness cannot be condoned. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled and said, "Brother Qian, you can't be so naïve, you can't be so rash. There are so many injustices in this world, everything is so angry, we can't live anymore? What about Xie Yuan? That's just a name. Doesn't Xie Yuan have to participate in the Spring Festival? What is the difference between the first place Xie Yuan and the sixth hundredth? It's just a qualification for a middle spring. People are also Qin Hui's grandson, what happened to Qin Xiangye's grandson who wanted a false name? You're not happy anymore? Who told you that Qian Kang's grandfather and father were not in the court, and only covered the sky with one hand? Think about it, yes and no? Don't be angry. ”

Qian Kang was full of anger, and when he met Fang Zi'an, he couldn't say it. Thinking about it, it is not a big deal to solve the yuan without solving the yuan, and it is of no practical use. But this kind of blatant shady curtain makes people angry, and it is really difficult to calm down.

Fang Zi'an saw that Qian Kang was still very angry, and laughed softly: "Brother Qian Kang, remember my words." Don't look at them having fun now, for fear of pulling the list in the future. Their unscrupulous actions will be their crimes in the future, and each one will become a noose around their necks. Heaven wants them to perish, and it must first make them crazy, you know? ”

Zhao Changlin nodded and said, "What Brother Zi'an said is that it's not worth it to be angry about these things. ”

Qian Kang took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Also, since you are both not angry, what's the use of me being angry?" Anyway, I'm going to look at the list. Brother Zi'an and Changlin, you two don't have to go, I'll squeeze in alone. There are too many people. ”

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go, don't rush if you can't squeeze in, wait until they finish reading." ”

Qian Kang nodded in response and rushed towards the crowd. Xindao: I'm on fire now, and if I can't squeeze in, I'll punch in with my old fist, and whoever is beaten is unlucky.

……

After the officials left, more than 100 officers and soldiers stood around the bulletin board in a circle, and the distance to read the list was allowed to be five feet away, and if they got closer, they would have to eat whips. This is actually a last resort, in previous years, there was a case of watching the list and tearing up the list because of Sun Shan's anger, which led to having to re-publish the list, which caused unnecessary trouble.

The students stretched their necks and squinted at the dense names on the red list, hoping to find their own names. Soon there were shouts of surprise from the crowd that the lucky ones had found their names. Everyone around them looked at them with envy, envy and jealousy in their hearts. The vast majority of people stretched their necks to read the list on the red list over and over again, and finally had to accept the fact that their name was lost to Sun Shan.

Those on the list squeezed out of the crowd with the victor's smile on their faces and looked at the students around them with condescending contempt in their eyes. The losers were gloomy and disgrieved, and some were pale, like the walking dead. At this moment, on the Gongyuan Square, scenes of tragicomedy are being staged.

"Hahaha, how? I told you before the big exam that I was bound to win the autumn season, and you still laughed at me for not being able to do anything. What to say now? I don't bother to argue with you and slap you in the face with facts. ”

"Yes, yes, we are blind. Before, you thought it was a fart. Although a few of us are usually mean-spoken, it was also a joke, and we actually wanted you to be in high school. You see that you are now solving the high school exam, and in the future, the spring will also be a must, and it is certain that you will enter the marquis in the future. When the time comes, don't forget us, Gou Fugui, don't forget each other. ”

"Hahaha, it's easy to say, you guys, it's cheap. You won't admit that I'm better than you until this point. That's it, adults don't remember villains, and I will carry you in the future. Let's go, I'll be the east, let's get drunk today. ”

The above is one of the comedies, the high school people are high-spirited, laughing at the people who look down on them on weekdays, and venting the anger in their hearts.

Others left with joy on their faces, eager to go home and share the good news with their relatives and friends. Some people don't know how many nights they have survived today, and finally have something to gain, and live up to the expectations of their families and friends.

Some people were overjoyed, laughing all the way, like dementia.

After all, the middle is a minority, and nine thousand people participated in the Lin'an Mansion Autumn Liberation Test, but only six hundred people were able to pass the test. Therefore, the vast majority of people have to face the pain of failure.

"It's over, it's all over. What face do I have to go back to see my wife and children, and what face do I have to stand in the world. If I don't succeed in the test, I might as well die. ”

"Hey, brother, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, let's compare this to a war, defeat is defeated, go back to study well, and come back in three years. How to live and die? ”

"Three years later? Three years and three years, how many three years have passed. Once upon a time, I thought the same thing. I think it's okay to miss once and do it again. But look at me, I've got gray temples, and I've been taking the exam for 18 years. How many more years do I have to splurge? I was originally a well-off family, because I was studying and taking the exam, but now my family is surrounded by walls, my wife and children are full of patches, and my mother suffers from gnawing chaff and vegetables. I was expecting me to make a name for myself, but I let them down again. Well, what other faces will I see them? Don't persuade me, it's better to go back, it's better to go back, life is short, and life is not happy......"

"Hey!" The person next to him could only sigh deeply.

Fang Zi'an and Zhao Changlin stood in the corner of the square, watching these students in front of them either walk by with raised eyebrows and smiles, or walking by with dull faces like walking corpses, or laughing with joy, or crying in pain, or begging for life and death, or tears in their eyes, both of them have mixed feelings in their hearts, and it is difficult to express.

"Brother Zi'an, this is the state of the world, how many people are saddened by a matter of the imperial examination, and how many people go mad. But even so, everyone flocks to it, preferring to be tortured and suffered, why is this? Zhao Changlin said softly.

Fang Zi'an said softly: "People go to high places, and water flows to low places." It's human. Who doesn't want to be a high-ranking official, who doesn't want to glorify their ancestors, who is willing to live under others, and who doesn't want to be in control of their destiny. Lust is the culprit of all sins. ”

Zhao Changlin said: "Then the person who has no desire and no desire is not the happiest person in the world?" ”

Fang Zi'an shook his head and said, "Ants are not happy, because they will be crushed to death at any time. In a completely fair and moral society, it may be possible to be happy without desires. In a world where the law of the jungle eats the strong, desirelessness is synonymous with slaughter. I don't want to be slaughtered, so even if it's painful, I'm going to fight and fight like them. ”

Zhao Changlin nodded slightly and groaned silently.
