Chapter 176: It's All in the Past

Previous Chapter

The three days are fleeting, and soon the day of the announcement will come.

Su Bufan got up very early today, and hurried to the Gongyuan without even eating breakfast, but he didn't expect that he was not the first, and a bunch of people had gathered outside the gate of the Gongyuan.

In front of the Tribute Temple, a huge plaque has appeared at some point, and a bright red cloth covers the plaque to cover its contents.

There are a large number of people who will take the exam, but there are only a dozen or so people who want to make the list.

It can be seen how fierce the competition is, and only a dozen or so people have the opportunity to enter the palace to try.

Even if the entrants fail to win the first place, their positions are arranged, and if they are lucky enough to win His Majesty's appreciation, even if they don't win the first place, they will have great luck.

"Here, Lord Waiter of the Ministry of Rites is here, and the list is going to be revealed. ”

When everyone heard the voice, they looked in the direction pointed by the young man, and saw a polite and elegant man, followed by four ceremonial ministers and a group of principals, surrounded by everyone.

Su Bufan clasped his hands and watched the waiter of the Ministry of Rites walk to the front of the plaque, his palms were already oozing a little sweat, and his heart was beating violently.

The words spoken by the waiter of the Ministry of Rites were ignored by Su Bufan, and his eyes were staring at the plaque, and finally the waiter of the Ministry of Rites finished speaking, and with a wave of his big hand, he pulled the red cloth on the plaque down.

Su Bufan stared intently at the plaque in front of him, and the names came to his mind, no! No! No!

Boom! It was like being struck by thunder in my head, and the noise of the outside world could no longer be heard, only the sound of lingering tinnitus in my head.

His blood-colored face turned pale in an instant, and he couldn't help but take a step back, and suddenly lost his strength under his feet, causing him to sit on the ground, and his eyes gradually lost their light.

Tian Weipin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the students in front of him, with expressions on his faces, some disappointed, some happy, and his eyes finally fixed on a thin face.

Among the young people who came to take the examination, only this person was dressed very plainly, which made Tian Weipin's image of him very profound.

When grading the papers, I happened to meet the papers handed in by this person, whose writing was of the highest quality, and it had been included in the list, but because of the princess's explanation......

Every time he thought about this, Tian Weipin felt very guilty in his heart, and suddenly saw the figure falling, his heart tightened, and he quickly pushed away the crowd and walked in front of him.

"Su Bufan, are you okay?" Su Bufan heard someone shouting for him, his dilated pupils were slightly focused, and when he saw this person's face clearly, he couldn't help but feel hope in his heart.

How could Lord Rybu Shirou remember my name, could it be that I forgot to engrave it on the list?

Thinking of this, Su Bufan couldn't help but be so excited that he grabbed the hand of the waiter in front of him, holding his arm with hope and trembling slightly, his eyes full of longing.

Tian Weipin looked at the hand that was clenched by the young man in front of him and trembled with him, and he knew what he was thinking in his heart, so he couldn't help sighing, "Try again next year, there is still a chance!"

When the comforting words came out, he felt more and more guilty in his heart, and Tian Weipin couldn't bear to look at his face and lowered his head.

The last hope in Su Bufan's heart had been shattered, and he let go of the hand of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and suddenly got up and ran into the distance.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites felt that his hand was let go by the young man, and looked at him again, but there was no face, only a distant back.

Tian Weipin stood up, watched the back disappear into the sea of people, sighed, and left with everyone, but the back of the departure was a little decadent!

It's gone, it's gone! Mother, teachers and fellow villagers have placed their hopes on me!

Disappointed in their expectations, I am ashamed of them!

Su Bufan ran wildly on the street, tears couldn't stop flowing from the corners of his eyes, spilling into the crowded streets.

I don't know how long I ran, maybe I was tired, maybe I was tired, Su Bufan stopped, and before I knew it, he had run out of the city.

Kneeling on the ground with weak legs, looking at the turquoise lake in front of him, a crazy thought came to his mind, people are so tired in the world, it is better to die!

With a look of determination on his face, he knelt down and moved to the lake in front of him, the surface of the lake reflected Su Bufan's face and the blue sky and white clouds in the sky.

Just as Su Bufan mustered up the courage to sink into the lake, a familiar call sounded from the depths of his heart, and the gentle face of his mother appeared in his mind.

Su Bufan retreated in horror and left the lake, panting heavily.

If you leave and leave your mother and relatives alone to survive in the world?

Besides, I still owe a lot of debts to the villagers, which is their savings, how can I do this?

A red palm print appeared on Su Bufan's cheek, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"God, why do you want to do this to me!" Su Bufan raised his head to the sky and roared, tears constantly flowing from his eye sockets and dripping to the ground.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. Su Bufan rarely shed tears, no matter how cowardly, incompetent, or tired he was, he never cried twice today.

When the scorching sun was in the sky, everyone avoided it, Su Bufan was tired, tired of crying, tired of complaining, and slowly moving on the street like a walking corpse.

Even if Su Bufan regained his senses and was no longer looking for death and life like he had just now, where was the road ahead and how should he go? He was like a lost lamb who could not see the future.

Suddenly, a figure ushered in front of him, and Su Bufan subconsciously staggered away from it, and that figure seemed to be deliberately trying to block Su Bufan's way.

Su Bufan raised his head, and a delicate face came into his mind, making him slightly stunned, and then shook his head and shook his head to shake off the thoughts in his mind.

This woman is dressed extraordinarily, how can she have an idea about her current situation? Su Bufan smiled self-deprecatingly, and stood aside, intending to wait for the woman to pass before continuing to move forward.

Su Bufan didn't expect that he was standing aside, and the woman did not leave, but stood in front of him.

"Dare...... Dare to ask my aunt...... Mother, we haven't met, why ......" Su Bufan raised his head, looked at the woman's exquisite face, lowered his head with low self-esteem, and stammered weak words from his mouth.

The woman's brows furrowed, this person was really as they said, extremely cowardly, "My young lady wants to see you, you go with me." ”

"Miss, dare to ask......" Hearing this woman's words, Su Bufan was very puzzled, raised his head and was about to ask, but looking at this woman's expression, the words stopped in his throat.

"You come with me. The woman hurriedly said that, then turned around and walked towards the Jade Pavilion not far away.

How dare Su Bufan not keep up, for fear of offending this big family, although he doesn't know why they are looking for him, maybe he has recognized the wrong person, just follow up and take a look.

Su Bufan stepped into such an elegant place for the first time, and couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

The diners in the building are all dressed gorgeously, and this dress is not cheap at a glance, and look at yourself, walking more and more carefully, for fear of colliding with others, and you can't afford to dirty people's clothes.

The woman stopped her steps and pushed open the door of the compartment, and the scene inside the door met Su Bufan's eyes.

The woman waved her hand to Su Bufan and motioned for him to hurry in.

Stepping into the compartment, the blanket spread on the ground and the soft step on the foot made Su Bufan dare not take half a step.

Because Su Bufan found that his dirty tattered cloth shoes had left black footprints on the beautiful blanket.

Su Bufan, who was attracted by the exquisite decoration in the compartment, didn't know that on the side, there was a beautiful person sitting staring at him with embroidered eyebrows.

Just as Su Bufan was amazed by the magnificent decoration in this room, a cold voice sounded, "Hey, have you seen enough!"

Su Bufan was shocked, and followed the prestige, only to see a woman in white who looked like a fairy sitting on the right seat of the dining table.

Su Bufan put away his mind and stood stiffly, lowering his head and staring at the ground.

"Come here!" The commanding tone of the woman in white made Su Bufan dare not resist, and walked to the side of the woman in white, still not daring to raise her head.

"Look up. Another irresistible word sounded, Su Bufan raised his head, and saw that the woman in white was staring at him, which made Su Bufan feel embarrassed and lowered his head again.

The woman in white pointed to the paper on the table and ordered Su Bufan, "Sign this." ”

Su Bufan was puzzled, and looked at the paper on the desktop, on the white paper, the huge black characters were particularly conspicuous, which caught Su Bufan's eyes, making him exclaim, "Deed of Sale!"

As soon as this remark came out, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was particularly surprised, what he said just now was true, and there was no favoritism, but how could the princess's words ......

"Mr. Squire can't cheat for personal gain!" Seeing the princess's smiling face, the squire of the Ministry of Rites immediately understood what he meant.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites replied respectfully, "The princess is really knowledgeable, but the lower officials are confused, and they can't see the vulgar meaning of this son, thank the princess for her advice." ”

Princess Xinhuan let go of her jade finger, and the scroll slowly floated on the table, "Mr. Shilang hopes that you will be fair and just, and do not engage in favoritism and malpractice, which will chill the hearts of students." ”

"The princess taught her a lesson, and it was the dereliction of duty of the lower officials!" said the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to himself.

Princess Xinhuan has already got the answer she wants, and I believe that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites also knows what she should do? Without saying a word, she slowly walked outside the house.

"You don't have to send it, Mr. Shilang still needs to review the papers, so you won't have to worry about it. Seeing that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was following her, Princess Xinhuan waved at him and refused.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites nodded and said, "Then the princess walks slowly on the road, and I hope you will forgive me for being slack." ”

It wasn't until Princess Xinhuan's back disappeared that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites let out the breath in his heart, and his back was already covered with cold sweat.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites walked quickly to the table, picked up the scroll just now, looked at the answer written on it, and sighed slightly in his heart, "Who knows what you offended the princess?"

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites slowly apologized, picked up a pen and drew two large crosses on it.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites was relieved and completed what the princess had explained, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, after all, this person's writing was quite atmospheric and did not lose its connotation, and he was actually the first person to be selected for the list!

Of course, Su Bufan didn't know about this, and he didn't even know that someone had been watching him from behind.

He had never seen Princess Xinhuan before, as for why Princess Xinhuan knew about him?

All of this has to go back to two days ago, when the Gongyuan signed up for the exam, its timid and cowardly appearance was looked at by the princess Xinhuan on the side.

This son is so in line with the plan in Princess Xinfan's heart, this plan must find a cowardly, cowardly and incompetent person.
