Chapter 535: A few families are happy and a few are sad
The two of them claimed to be, carefully holding the rolled up yellow list, followed Meng Suiqi and a team of forbidden troops, and walked out of Mingyuan Tower.
Jiang Shen stood in front of Mu Rongyan, his eyes swirling on his body again and again, and finally sighed with pity: "Sanlin! ”
Mu Rongyan kowtowed deeply: "Teacher! ”
At the first moment, the gate of the Gongyuan was opened, Wang Jingzong and Ruan Ping'an were dressed in neat official uniforms, holding the yellow list, Jin Zhong and Meng Suijie took the forbidden army and the internal guards respectively, surrounded the two, and walked out of the gate.
Every step they took was extremely dignified and serious, and they couldn't easily get up with a major event like Zhang Bang that was related to people's future and fate, not to mention that kind of thing happened just now.
No one dares to imagine what kind of earth-shattering consequences will be caused if the time of the list is really delayed.
I don't dare to think about it, and I shudder when I think about it.
When Wang Jingzong and Ruan Ping'an walked out with the yellow list in their hands, firecrackers suddenly rang out on the long street outside the Gongyuan, red crumbs flew one after another, and they crackled for a long time before they quieted down.
The forbidden army and the internal guards took over the yellow list from the hands of Wang Jingzong and Ruan Ping'an, solemnly unfolded it, and hung it high in front of the gate.
As soon as the yellow list with red letters on a yellow background was hung out, the scholars were like crazy, swarming to the front of the gate, some people were trampled off their shoes, some people were squeezed out of their buns, and some people's coats were torn away.
The sturdy iron fence was nearly crushed to the ground.
For a moment, screams, scolding, roars, laughter, and cries were mixed together, louder than the sound of firecrackers.
Zhang Yan was crowded in the crowd, his face was distorted, and he stood on tiptoe with difficulty, carefully patrolled back and forth on the yellow list, and finally determined the location of his name.
He breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and squeezed out against the crowd, and tried to purse his lips, but the upturned corners of his mouth could not be suppressed, showing the irrepressible ecstasy in his heart.
A total of 311 tributes were taken in this provincial examination, both in the north and the south, although the northern scholars were less than expected, but it was much better than in the past when there was no division between the north and the south, and the northern scholars always had no harvest.
Zhang Yan, as one of the many northern scholars, naturally paid special attention to the names and rankings of the northern scholars on the list, and he saw a few familiar names in the dense names, but none of them were ranked high, and one even fell at the end of the yellow list, narrowly and dangerously won the list.
But fortunately, the few people he knows are on the list, everyone has seen too much despair, he didn't go home empty-handed, and the ranking is not so important.
He stood outside the crowd, looked for a while, and saw some people crying because of falling behind, and some people crying because of winning the list, the ecstasy in his heart gradually subsided and calmed down, turned around and walked back slowly.
"Eh, Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, you are also on the list, how many are on the list?"
Zhang Yan had just walked a few steps, someone patted him on the shoulder twice, asked with a smile, he turned his head, and saw that it was someone he knew, he smiled and said: "It turned out to be Brother Li, Brother Li also won the list." ”
The man surnamed Li was full of smiles, obviously in a good mood: "No, I've taken the exam twice, and in six years, I finally won, one hundred and thirty, how many Brother Zhang are there?" ”
Zhang Yan smiled: "That's really congratulations to Brother Li, where is Brother Li going?" ”
The man surnamed Li smiled and said: "Isn't it, let's come from Longyoudao, saying that we will go to Qujiang Garden to listen to music together, won't Brother Zhang go?" ”
Zhang Yan shook his head with a smile: "No, my sister is still waiting for the letter at home." ”
The man surnamed Li thought of Zhang Yan's sister who was a little fierce in her coolness, and smiled: "Yes, yes, then Brother Zhang hurry up and go back, tell Sister Ling the news, Sister Ling will definitely be happy." ”
Zhang Yan congratulated the man surnamed Li a few more words, turned around and walked to the south with his hands on his back.
Several men also squeezed out against the crowd, looking at Zhang Yan's back, one of them asked in surprise, "Eh, Brother Li, isn't Brother Zhang going?" ”
Another person sneered and said: "He relied on his fierce sister to set up a food stall to survive, and he dared to drink flower wine, and he was not afraid of being chopped alive by his sister with a knife." ”
As soon as these words came out, several men burst out laughing.
The man surnamed Li's face sank, and he said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Brother Zhang is ranked forty-eight on the high school list this time, and he must have a limitless future!" ”
As soon as they heard this, several men immediately tightened their mouths, they only cared to see if there was their name on the list, and they didn't notice where Zhang Yan's name was.
Forty-eight on the list, this rank is unbeatable, leaving them far behind, although the ranking of the provincial examination is not as important as the palace examination, but the provincial examination can be tested forty-eight, then the ranking of the palace examination will not be too low, so Zhang Yan's future is naturally not the same as them.
He did have the confidence to disdain to be in the same boat as them.
There was no word all night, the sky was already bright, the sky was blue and clear, and the gold-melting sunlight pierced through the floating clouds, and the clouds were inlaid with a thin layer of gold.
In the distance, there are green mountains and mountains, lush forests like the sea, and near there are fragrant grasses, birds and birds, and that dilapidated courtyard is full of people lying on the ground inside and out, and they are sleepy.
These men escaped for their lives all night, and at last they escaped and could sleep peacefully, until the day was bright, and the birds fell down among the treetops and grass, and the birds chirped high and low, and everyone slept so deeply that they were not awakened.
Han Changdui was obviously very tired, after sending away Qingqian, he relied on Yao Qi's side again, and the two of them took turns to be vigilant, at this time, he slept well, but he still maintained a very high vigilance, when a bird landed on the treetops and made a chirp, he woke up suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and when he turned his head, he happened to meet Yao Qi's apricot eyes.
Those ink-black pupils shone with a breathtaking light, almost swallowing Han Changdui's entire heart.
His heart jumped, and he lowered his voice and said, "You heard it too?" A lot of people came, from the direction of Qingyun Village. ”
Yao Qi nodded, his expression solemn: "At this time, there are so many people who can come from the direction of Qingyun Village, except for Yulin Army, there is no one else, it seems that they have discovered the abnormality in Qingyun Village." ”
Han Changdui raised his eyebrows: "The one who came is not good." He looked at the water bandits who were lying in a full yard and were sleeping so much that he didn't know what year it was, and raised his chin: "Go and call up Your Highness, clean up, there will be a tough battle to fight." He paused slightly: "I'll go find Li Changming." ”
Yao Qi snorted helplessly, everyone who fled for his life this night was about to collapse, and he didn't know when it would be his head.
She was really not in the mood to coax these ancestors in a good voice, and entered the door with a bad breath, smashing the kang head a few times in a row, and shouting in a rough voice: "Get up, get up, come over, get up!" ”
"Who, whoever called, who called." Bao Cheng jumped up from the kang all of a sudden, rubbed his sleepy eyes, looked at the blue sky outside the window, and lay back with a bang: "Oh, who can have such courage in the blue sky, Ah Qi, you lie to me again." ”
Han Changyun put on his clothes indiscriminately, and freed his hand to grab Bao Cheng: "Miss Ah Qi didn't lie to you, someone is coming, hurry up, hurry, it's too late, it's going to be troublesome." ”
Leng Linjiang was lying on his side, and at the first foot of Yao Ji's head on the kang, he woke up, and was stunned for a moment, then he bounced up quickly, and patted Xie Mengxia heavily: "Your Highness, Your Highness, get up, hurry, someone is coming." ”
Xie Mengxia jumped up from the kang with a spirit, his mind was still in a daze, and he had already begun to put leather boots on his feet, and muttered non-stop: "Can you make people take a breath, don't stop if you don't get tired to death." ”
The eldest girl and Qingqian also turned over and sat up, although they hadn't woken up yet, they instinctively put on clothes and shoes.
At the same time, Han Changdui knocked on the door of the next room, stood at the door and didn't walk in, and glanced into the house, only to see Zhao Yingrong lying on the kang, already awake, but his spirit was really weak, and he couldn't even detect the sound of panting.
Li Changming and Zhao Fusheng glanced at each other, comforted Zhao Yingrong, and hurriedly greeted them.
"Envoy, what's wrong?" Li Changming asked respectfully.
Han Changdui said in a deep voice: "The Yulin Army has noticed that something is wrong with the cottage and has chased after it, we have to leave quickly." ”
"What!" Li Changming screamed, and his face turned pale.
Yulin Army, that is the private soldier of the saint, how can they fight this rabble.
Zhao Yingrong heard Li Changming's scream, and asked weakly: "Second brother, what's wrong?" ”
Li Changming hurriedly covered up: "Big brother, it's okay, it's okay, you can rest in peace." ”
Zhao Fusheng came back from his panic, lowered his voice and asked, "Can the envoy be sure that it is the Yulin Army?" ”
Han Changdui nodded, and before he could speak, a hoarse and terrible roar came from outside, waking up the people in the courtyard.
"Oh no, no, the Yulin Army is coming! Hurry up, hurry up, the Yulin Army is coming! "A bloodied bandit stumbled into the yard, the dust soaked in the blood, and a large scarlet mess of mud rolled out.
As soon as he heard this, Zhao Yingrong suddenly rolled off the kang and fell to the ground, fell and vomited a mouthful of blood, choked and coughed repeatedly, and two abnormal bright red balls appeared on his cheeks.
Li Changming and Zhao Fusheng's faces changed, and they hurriedly helped Zhao Yingrong up.
Zhao Yingrong pushed away the hands of the two, panting like a cow, and said eagerly: "Don't, leave me alone, hurry, go, take the little ones quickly!" ”
Li Changming and Zhao Fusheng couldn't help but grab Zhao Yingrong's hand, but they all refused.
"No, big brother, we can't leave you behind."
"Yes, father."
