The night is like thick ink, which cannot be ground deeply

At this time, most of the people have fallen asleep, and occasionally a few rooms in the inn are still lit, including Zhu Ping'an, who reads at night. There were several books arranged in an orderly manner on the desk, Zhu Ping'an held a notebook, leaned forward slightly and leaned close to the oil lamp to read carefully.

There was silence outside, with the occasional cuckoo call, cuckoo cuckoo

The sweet enchantress sleeping on the bed opened her eyes slightly, glanced at Zhu Ping'an, who was sitting there reading a book, and fell asleep again.

Zhu Ping'an, who was reading at night, hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and then immersed himself in the notebook again, and after reading it more times, he gradually touched the three flavors of the book that the old man said, although it was vague, but there was a feeling that it was within reach.

As the night deepened, all the lights in the inn were extinguished one after another, and the night was completely in control of the world.

Early the next morning, Zhu Ping'an got up much earlier than usual, and wanted to put the comprehension of reading the calligraphy last night into the tip of the pen to see how the effect was, just like mentioning a new car and couldn't wait to drive it out for a ride.

The Taihu Lake was quiet and empty, and the old angler that day seemed to have swiped a copy of the NPC he encountered in the game, and he saw it once, and he never encountered it again.

Lay the black board, dip a pen of water, the wrist is slightly forced, the tip of the pen falls on the black board, this moment the brush seems to have a soul, and it feels almost can be described in one word, that is, the pen is like a divine help. The words that fell on the black wooden board seemed to have flesh and blood, and they jumped on the board one by one, ready to come out.

That bottleneck has finally been broken

After the sun rose, Zhu Ping'an put away the black wooden board and the brush and bamboo tube, took out a hand-copied book from his schoolbag, and quietly flipped through it against the boulder.

The second day was also like this, when the boatman's fishing horn came from afar, Zhu Ping'an took the book, put it in the schoolbag he carried crossbody, Shi Shiran returned to the inn the same way, and was intercepted by the uncle and others halfway, and pushed to see the list again. This time it came early, and the list was just pasted.

His surviving fellow failed to continue his luck this time and fell off the list.

The fellow who fell off the list lost his soul, and then suddenly clapped his hands and pointed to the list with one hand.

What's wrong

Zhu Ping'an was a little worried about this fellow, don't be stimulated by anything.

"Hello, tell Uncle your seat number again!"

Uncle Zhu Shouren's tone was hurried, as if he was excited and couldn't help himself.

"Yi You" Zhu Ping'an repeated it when he heard this.

As soon as the words came out, the unsuccessful fellow who seemed to have received some excitement over there, but he clapped his hands again, and his mood seemed to be much better, "It's okay now, I'm not alone, Brother An can return to his hometown with me, hehe"

"There is no list B, and there is no list A." Uncle Zhu Shouren touched his beard and said regretfully, "Hey, Bi'er fell off the list this time, but don't be discouraged, since the county test has been all the way, every time you are on the top list, Bi'er is also rare, and wait for the uncle to go back and review the book with you." ”

After the uncle finished speaking, he sighed again, and said with emotion, "Our Zhu family will look at me this time, and we will not let you down." ”

The other two fellows, who were already children like the uncle, also came to comfort Zhu Ping'an and another fellow, saying that they would take Zhu Ping'an to Zuijunlou for a drunken drink at night.

"No, I'm playing better than usual this time."

Zhu Ping'an muttered to himself, at this time he also looked at the entire list, indeed, there is no seat number on the B list, and there is no seat number on the A list, it shouldn't be, he played better than usual in this exam.

"Hehe, I usually see Brother An'er calm and calm, and Brother An will not have other emotions, but this time I finally saw Brother An'er's other expressions."

"Brother An'er don't want to be like this, everyone will say this when they fall off the list, come and come, and go with me to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows."

Although Zhu Ping'an's muttering voice was small, it was also heard by the people around him, and everyone comforted him, of course, the language of comfort was not so pleasant.

Uncle Zhu Shouren and others felt that this was a normal state, and Jue's imperial examination was finally on the right track, and it seemed to be a little surprised.

Zhu Ping'an looked at the list and was puzzled.

Everyone comforted them, and then pulled Zhu Ping'an and another villager who failed to eat and drink together.

Just as everyone was about to drag away Zhu Ping'an, who had been looking at the list, they heard a commotion in the crowd, it turned out that the little official who had just posted the list was pasting a bowl-sized red paper to the most round place on the first list, and the red paper was the first place on the list and the head of the second game.

The seat number on the red paper is Zhu Ping'an's seat number: "Yi You".

Time seemed to stand still, and Uncle and the others couldn't hide their disappointment and surprise at the moment. In the past, Zhu Ping'an was on the first list, and this time they finally didn't get on the first list, and there was no one on the second list, but they never expected that the head of the case that they and others never dreamed of falling on Zhu Ping'an.

Similarly, Zhu Ping'an was also surprised, he didn't expect that he could also win the first place, although he had been preparing for a long time, although there was one of the exam questions that he knew very well, but he never thought that he could win the first place.

Although this first place is only a temporary case, the gold content is not high, and when the three exams are completed, the first place is the real head of the government exam, but it does not erase the difficulty of this first place, after all, it is more than 300 outstanding people who have been screened many times.

This kind of dramatic turn made Uncle Zhu Shouren and others a little difficult to accept, although it was difficult to hide the loss, they still had to pull Zhu Ping'an to eat and drink, and they couldn't just say that they would not be invited, that was not a slap in the face. But the mood is not high, especially the villager who fell off the list, and he has a long face.

It is estimated that the literati are contemptuous, there may also be jealousy, and perhaps there are other more complicated factors, so that the uncle and others are not very welcome.

Zhu Ping'an was not without eyes, so he politely refused. After Zhu Ping'an refused, Uncle Zhu Shouren and others did not insist anymore, and dragged the villager who failed to the list to the restaurant, and it seemed that he was going to stay up all night.

Tongcheng Xia Luoming and the others, who were surrounding on the other side, looked at the list with disdain and chatted lightly:

"Although I don't know who 'Yi You' is, this is not you and me, nor is it the top ten of other counties and acquaintances, so I guess it's just a lucky person who has hit a big luck."

"Brothers, don't be discouraged, this time is just a judgment, and it accounts for the smallest proportion of the three exams, but the four books, eight shares and strategies are the basis for the final verdict."

"What is said is extremely true"

And Zhu Ping'an, the lucky person who bumped into the luck in their mouths, had quietly left the list venue at this time, and went to find delicious snacks along the street fragrance.
