On this day, the snow was still falling in Yingtian City, and it was magnificent, and there was only a kind of silver white left between heaven and earth, just like an ice and snow giant city.

At about midnight, Ying Tiancheng dispatched a number of officials to help the staff, and all the surroundings from the Jiangnan Gongyuan to the Confucius Temple were decorated with lanterns, and the red lanterns and the silver and white ice and snow formed a sharp contrast.

On this day, the students and scholars in the inn changed into new student uniforms, put on the most pious expressions, and knelt down in the direction of the Confucius Temple to burn incense.

On a table by the window in the lobby of the inn, Zhu Ping'an and the fat man Xue Chi sat on the table drinking rice porridge and eating side dishes. Zhu Ping'an's face was calm, his demeanor was calm, and he ate very well, but the fat man next to him was a little different. When the fat man was eating, he looked in the direction of the door from time to time, and his eyes were also a little bloodshot, and it seemed that he had slept quite badly last night.

The lobby of the inn was full of students at this time, and many of them looked at the door from time to time, and their eyes were red, like hungry wolves.

This day is the day of the township trial list.

The township test is different from the children's examination, and the township test list is usually released by the official officer to the inn and other places where the students settle down to report the good news, and after the good news is completed to all the new middle school people, the complete list will be posted in front of the Jiangnan Gongyuan.

Don't worry about the errand officers not being able to find their way, all the students have registered their temporary residence information, place of origin, etc. to the yamen in advance before the exam.

"The Annunciation Messenger has been dispatched!"

About the time of the dawn, I heard an excited shout outside.

Then everyone in the lobby of the inn excitedly probed out the door, and the fat man Xue Chi was about to fly out of the chair.

The golden scales are not the things in the pool, and they turn into dragons in the wind and rain.

Everyone fantasizes that they can lift people in high school, and once they are lifters, it is very different, it is another world, and the name is power.

Time seemed to change very slowly, and all the students in the lobby waited left and right, feeling that they had been waiting for tens of thousands of years, but they had not heard any good news.

finally

"Township test success! Congratulations"

The people in the lobby couldn't wait to look at the door. There were even people who left their tables and chairs and ran to the door.

However, everyone only saw a servant whistling past the door of the inn with a red scroll in his hand, and walked towards another inn.

"Alas"

There was a sigh from inside the inn.

When everyone's sighs had not completely left their lips, another clear and loud annunciation came and came straight to the inn lobby.

"Township test success! He Fengyang Mansion Xue Chi Xue Lao Ye High School Township Examination Deputy List 35"

An errand of the annunciation. Shouting all the way into the lobby.

Hearing this, Xue Chi, the fat man sitting opposite Zhu Ping'an, stood up with a snort, and was so emotional that he couldn't help himself, and shouted in his mouth, "I'm waiting." What the hell, you just said the sub-list? ”

The fat man paused after only saying two words, and his flushed face turned black, and he shook it together with the messenger who gave the good news.

"Yes, sub-list." The messenger of the annunciation nodded.

After getting the confirmation, the fat man let go of the errand officer, and his fat face was about to cry, "You report a ball on the sub-list!" This is still the last place on the sub-list. ”

The sub-list is a kind of additional list in the imperial examination, also known as the preparation list. The deputy list of the township test began in the 5th year of Jiajing in this dynasty. Those who are on the secondary list are not those who have won the lift. Instead, he has obtained the qualification to continue the examination of the Nether Township Examination, and he does not need to participate in the scientific examination or anything, and he can directly participate in the next Township Examination. There are not many places in this place, and an average of five on the main list will take a sub-list.

And, and, eggs.

For the excitement of the fat man, the people in the lobby also understand, even if the fat man does not raise people in high school, but the high school sub-list is also very good, at least it is an honor. The crowd in the lobby congratulated the fat man.

The fat man was lost for a moment. immediately figured it out, found out a broken silver and rewarded it to the person who reported the good news, and then sat opposite Zhu Ping'an and boasted to himself.

"Brother Zhu, although I didn't win the fat brother. But the sub-list is also amazing, this is called the tribute list. Well, I can go to the Jingshi Guozijian, much better than my father. ”

The fat man has an extremely powerful inner healing function, and he suddenly wanted to open it, and he was a person who went through the back door to give gifts and get a place in the township test, and suddenly passed the sub-list. This is much better than those who justifiably take the township test, especially their own father, who can't catch up with himself.

"Well, that's good." Zhu Ping'an nodded, there was a sentence behind that I didn't expect to say, it was indeed unexpected by Zhu Ping'an, just by virtue of the fat man's sister I thought, but this achievement was unexpected, it is estimated that the fat man's other articles are very outstanding.

After listening to Zhu Ping'an's words, the fat man was a little complacent.

In the following time, in addition to the fat man, there were two other people in the lobby of the inn who also received the good news of the sub-list, and they looked at each other with a lot of sympathy with the fat man, and agreed to drink together in the future.

"It's time for you to make the list." Everyone in the inn turned their heads and looked out the door.

finally

The crisp sound of horses' hooves shattered everyone's waiting hearts. I saw two healthy horses neighing at the door and stopped at the door of the inn, and the two officials turned over and dismounted, shouting the good news of the township test, and went straight to the inn.

"Successful report of the township test, congratulations to the 135th place in the township test of Zhu Ping'an Zhu High School in Anqing Mansion."

One hundred and thirty-fifth

The total number of admissions in the entire Nanzhili Township Examination is one hundred and thirty-five, and Zhu Ping'an won one hundred and thirty-five, which means that he is the last on the admission list.

To be honest, this ranking was really a bit unexpected by Zhu Ping'an, and he felt that he would not be in the end.

However, if you think about it, there are more than 10,000 students who participated in the township examination, and you are already very good if you can win the examination. The last place, hehe, it seems that I have to continue to work hard, work harder.

You can't underestimate the heroes of the world.

Zhu Ping'an quickly adjusted his mood, took out the reward money that had been prepared long ago from his body, and distributed it to the two messengers who reported the good news.

The two messengers took it and touched it, a heavy string of copper coins, which was very sufficient, and said some congratulatory words to Zhu Ping'an very happily, and then went back to his life with a smile.

Zhu Ping'an raised people at the end of the crane, and the people in the inn were envious, why is this young man so lucky, the last place on the list, this luck must be the smoke from the ancestral tomb.

In addition to envy, they are more jealous, and if we are lucky, we can too.

"Brother Zhu, we are also difficult brothers. You are the last on the main list, and I am the last on the secondary list. The fat man said with a bitter face, but changed his words halfway through, "No, you've been lifted!" ”

"It's just a year earlier and a year later, Brother Xue has won the deputy list today, this time it's Enke, according to the rent system, next year will be another year of township test, Brother Xue will sink down and prepare for one or two, and next year will be on the laurel list." Zhu Ping'an comforted the fat man.

"Also, without your group of competitors, I would be the thirty-fifth, hahaha, next time I will still record one hundred and thirty-five, then I won't be in the bag to pick up things."

When the fat man heard this, his bitter face suddenly became bright, and his voice was also overjoyed.

Indeed, Seon is not a blessing if he loses his horse.

The idea of a fat man makes sense, and in the normal township test next year, the chance of a fat man is indeed very great. (To be continued.) )
