Chapter 291: Ordinary
"Sitting in that carriage is the head of this year's county martial arts test?"
"I heard it's a little girl?"
"Hong Gongzi actually lost to her? Could it be something wrong? β
The people on the side of the street watched the carriage slowly approaching in the moonlight, the curtain of the carriage was not raised, only the coat of arms of the British government on the carriage, showing the identity of the people in the carriage.
Tonight, there are many people who have come for the people in this carriage.
They all heard the rumor, and at first it was a joke, but more and more people who came back from Wuqu Hidden Screen Peak said it.
Then, the fast horses with the bunting on their backs galloped into the city, and the huge red list hung down again at the gate of the county government until people saw the name that was the biggest at the top.
They learned that this was not a rumor, but a fact.
What had never happened in the entire history of the Great Zhou Dynasty happened without any warning in their Huizhou City today.
Everyone looked at the carriage that was moving unhurriedly, and when they couldn't see the people in the car, they went to look at the coachman. Wei Yong, who was driving the car, even had to straighten his waist straighter than before, and his face was full of unstoppable joy.
Someone whispered to the candidates in front of them, and the candidates looked complicated and nodded wordlessly.
The people who were confirmed again looked at the inconspicuous carriage with disbelief on their faces, and many more were directly shocked to the point of speechlessness.
Miss Zhu Jiu of the British Mansion.
The name that appeared in the ears of the people of Huizhou not long ago.
After the Dusk Cloud Meeting, because of the big gamble and Duan Lizheng's marriage contract, this Miss Zhu Jiu became a celebrity in Huizhou City, but this reputation is not all positive, it is better to say that as time goes by, it becomes more and more malicious.
Most women regard it as a shameless way to cheat marriage, and you can hear foul language related to this Miss Zhu Jiu everywhere.
When it was learned that this woman had really participated in the county exam, no one took it seriously, but even more outrageous rumors and jokes were born, and no one believed that she could really achieve anything.
When the last woman on the list was released in the literary examination yesterday, many students on the list gloated, and some people even felt that the county order was reluctant to rank at the bottom of the list in order to give the few female candidates a face.
In today's martial arts test, no one cares what ranking this woman can get, more people just hope that she falls harder, and many people are waiting to see her jokes and provide Huizhou City with a few more months to talk about.
There was even a woman who prayed that it would be best for her to be injured more in the martial arts test, and it would be better to even scratch her face and become more unworthy of Duan Ergongzi.
Many noble ladies were just waiting for the end of the county exam, and when they saw the disillusioned look on Miss Zhu Jiu's face, some people even thought about what kind of lines to use to mock this toad who wanted to eat swan meat.
However, no one could have imagined that the little woman who was delusional, bluffing, whimsical, and the penultimate in the county test essay test, her name would actually jump from the lowest end to the top the next day?!
Nowadays, in front of the county office, the list of the county examination and the martial arts test stand side by side, with the same name, one at the top and one at the bottom. It looks a little funny.
And that unashamed and bold woman actually took the first place in the martial arts test!
In this year's county examination, the head of the martial arts examination is not Hong Shan, not the second seat of Taiping Mountain House, not the senior disciple of Ziyang Academy, not belonging to any possible cultivator, or even belonging to any man.
Rather, Zhu Ying.
Miss Nine of the British Mansion, Zhu Ying.
And she is only fourteen years old this year, and she is just in the Heavenly Realm!
No one could have predicted this outcome, and no one wanted to believe it.
The carriage passed in front of a group of young people, and the thin student who took the lead turned pale.
This is a student of Tianquan Academy, and Yu Sinian is not in it. The students who had laughed at Zhu Luan, especially Jindeli, although they had not yet taken the township test, remembered his previous ridicule of this woman, and felt that their faces were a little hot and even a little painful.
At this time, there was an early loss, and the candidates who had been watching the battle talked about what happened in the battle. The details of the battle spread quickly.
This woman has a total of 34 battles in today's martial arts test.
Each one left a different image for a different person.
The first thing that attracted attention was naturally the three swords that Zhu Luan had broken.
This adds another touch of legend to this already magical story.
The students of Doosan Academy stood on the street corner, with angry and unwilling expressions on their faces, but no matter how angry they were, they had to stand there because Hongsan had sent a message to prevent them from making trouble.
Most of the candidates had mixed expressions.
More of the battle was revealed, and the crowd began to get excited, surging towards the center of the road.
Just when everyone's eyes seemed to shoot through the curtain on the carriage, someone suddenly shouted, "Case Master Zhu, lift the curtain!" β
This sound seemed to inspire others, and the people around couldn't help but shout.
"Zhu's case! Miss Nine! β
"It's good to show your face when you're the head of the case!"
Countless voices rang out in the crowd, and the scene became lively for a while.
In the carriage, after Zhu Luan heard it, his hand stretched out to the curtain, but before she could lift the curtain, she was held down, and a big hand thicker than her stopped him.
"I'll come," Zhu Rong said, and after speaking, he glanced at the injuries on Zhu Luan's body.
Zhu Luan nodded, and then Zhu Rong opened the curtain.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the car at this time, the curtain on the car was opened, and everyone cheered, and they hurried to look, but they didn't see the so-called female head of the case.
I saw this unusually handsome man.
But no one is angry because he is really good-looking.
Someone recognized his identity and knew that Zhu Luan was sitting next to him.
"Miss Nine! Do you want to get out of the car and sit at my jewelry shop? It's free for the head of the case! β
"Case head Zhu, the first female case head of Da Zhou, such a big event can be celebrated with drinking! The villain's house has prepared good wine that has been cellared for many years. β
"I heard that Zhu likes to gamble? The gambling house is bustling over there, are you interested in playing a few games? β
In previous years, when the head of the martial arts test came back, even the carriage was often crowded, and even some nobles would directly tie up people, and hot people would come to catch their sons-in-law under the list.
But this year, there was an unprecedented female case, and the people were at a loss, and some people shouted that this was the fiancΓ©e of Duan Ergongzi, but they couldn't do it, so the people of Huizhou could only stare at the people in the carriage bigger and bigger.
Countless shocked, curious, and scrutinizing eyes focused on the small window of the carriage, which was so eager, it made people's hearts shake, the temperature of the line of sight like a substance was too high, Zhu Rong sat by the window, only to feel as if his whole body was burning, many people stared at his face, and the young man could even feel a tingling in his cheeks.
Although Zhu Rong turned his head to look at his cousin sitting beside him.
She was the real focus of the gaze, but the girl's face remained calm, as if the gaze of so many people was nothing to her.
She has indeed bathed in the gaze of more people at one time.
Zhu Luan noticed the discomfort on Zhu Rong's face, smiled, and stretched out his hand to the curtain.
The curtain was drawn, the wheels pressed against the bluestone slabs, and the sound around them did not weaken.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
On a corner of the street, an old man was sitting at a stall eating Yangchun noodles.
Big gulps, delicious food.
While eating, I listened to the lively street behind me from the corner of my eye.
After eating, the old man wiped his mouth and put down the money and left, he didn't go to join in the fun.
As he walked, the old man passed by the blacksmith's shop, and also passed by various places.
In the Dusk Cloud Building, because everyone went out to see the martial arts test candidates tonight, there were a lot fewer people in the building than usual. After playing the pipa for the last guest, Li went up to the top floor, smoking a small jasper smoking pot by the railing, when suddenly she missed, and the smoke pot slipped from her hand and fell down inadvertently.
The old man walked downstairs to Duyun, and at this time, suddenly a small jasper smoking pot fell, and the old man caught it at once.
As if to find the owner of the smoke pot, the old man took it and walked into the Dusk Cloud Tower.
And not only him, but then there were scholars who had just stood on the side of the street, men selling big bowls of tea, dart masters who rested on their feet, gambling house owners who made a fuss, and all kinds of people walked into Duyun Tower.
I want to talk about "Yingluan" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
