White Snake Demonstration Walk

Chapter 289
Qiu Wei's three exams have passed, and Qiao Chen'an's life seems to have returned to the calmness of the past. He is with the four daughters every day, enjoying a peaceful and warm time. At night, it is inevitable that he will be entangled by Xiao Qing.

The results of the Qiuwei Examination will not be announced until more than ten days later. Those scholars who came from afar have not returned, and all of them are staying in Hangzhou City. Just take this opportunity to take a good tour of this historic city and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. .

After a few days, everyone finally found out the identity of the man with the white fox lying on his shoulders that day. He turned out to be the number one talented scholar in Hangzhou. While they were surprised, they couldn't help but feel a little curious about him.

As the saying goes, "literati look down on each other", these scholars who came to participate in the Qiuwei Examination are also known as talented scholars in their hometowns, and they were not convinced when they heard that Qiao Chenan was the "number one talented person". They wanted to join hands with him to find him 'Wen Dou', but after a little inquiring, everyone was speechless after hearing the few poems he wrote earlier, and silently dismissed the idea.

At least, they asked themselves that they would never be able to write such a poem, and even if they went to the door, they would just humiliate themselves. Although they didn't say it, they already recognized Qiao Chen'an's name as the "No. [-] Talent in Hangzhou" in their hearts. head.

And when everyone heard that he was the disciple of a first-rank official, they were all dumbfounded and almost beat their chests. This status is a hundred times stronger than any top talent. What is the concept of a student of a first-rank official?
It means that as long as Qiao Chen'an can pass the general examination, he will step into the court hall in the future, and there will be a towering tree covering the top. An important minister of the upper third rank.

How can this make them not jealous and envious?There were even those quick-witted people who had the idea of ​​becoming friends with Qiao Chenan on the spot, but unfortunately when they found Qiao Chenan's mansion, they found that the building had already been emptied, and they all went to nothing.

This is Qiao Chen'an, who took the four daughters back to Qiantang's home to accompany the second elder after the exam, how could he have the heart to make false claims with them?

Ten days passed in a flash, and soon it was the day when the rankings were released. The street in front of Chongwen Academy was crowded with people, and the restaurants and inns on both sides were crowded with people. Some family members who had come to take the exam had prepared meals in advance. As soon as the results of the rankings come out, they will have a good time to celebrate. Obviously, they are full of confidence in this autumn test.

On the street, there were peddlers walking back and forth with their loads to sell, and some even sang folk songs, their voices were clear and loud, and rang out from a distance.

That is to say, the academy is a place of culture and culture, and there is no brothel on the street, otherwise, it would be more lively, and those plump and tun girls would have been leaning on the railing by now, shouting "Master, Come and play!", what these little girls love most is to tease these handsome scholars with delicate skin and tender flesh, they usually look gentle, but they turn into beasts when they get on the bed.

The most people on the street are naturally the scholars who came to rush for the exam. At a glance, there are blue shirts everywhere, and all the faces are full of expectations. Isn't it because of the name on the list at the moment that they have studied hard for ten years?

On the bank of the academy, on the second floor of a restaurant by the window, there are two tall, kind-faced old men sitting there. They are Liu Chuhong and Wang Lizhi. Instead, he came to this restaurant.

Wang Lizhi looked at the scene of the scholars walking down the street, with a look of comfort in his eyes, and said: "If it is like this every year, why should my Great Xia not be prosperous?"

Liu Chuhong stroked his beard and smiled: "You, you are already in your sixtieth year, so you should worry less!"

Hearing this, Wang Lizhi said seriously: "There are barbarians in the south and Luo Gao in the north, how can I rest assured? Even if I fight this old bone, I will destroy them!"

Liu Chuhong has known Wang Lizhi for decades, so how could he not know his old friend's temper, knowing that it is his lifelong wish to exterminate the Luo Gao tribe in the north, seeing this, he no longer persuades him, just smiles: "I would like to congratulate You were able to accept such a good student, and when Chen An enters the court in the future, with his ability, he can also help you share a lot."

Only then did Wang Lizhi laugh, picked up the wine glass on the table, drank it down, looked towards the street, his eyes fell on one of them, and said to himself: If I can't succeed in this life, this responsibility will depend entirely on you.

Following his gaze, a tall figure was standing in the middle of the street, wearing a white robe, with long hair in a bun, behind his head, and a white fox resting on his left shoulder. It was Qiao Chen'an who came to watch the list. As soon as he walked, a gentle spiritual force naturally emanated from his body, separating the crowded crowd nearby. This scene seemed like everyone actively made way for him. This scene fell into the eyes of many people, and they couldn't help being secretly shocked.

The sun was gradually rising, and today it was rare to be a bit hot, breaking the coolness since the beginning of autumn. The setting sun was full of dust, but no one was impatient. They all stared at the gate of the academy, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.

Knowing that at a certain moment, the gate of the academy was suddenly opened with a gap. This scene immediately attracted everyone's attention. The street suddenly fell silent, and it was almost audible. Five or six officials were surrounded by a middle-aged man in a green shirt. The man walked out of the door, and Qiao Chenan recognized the man in the blue shirt as one of the invigilators during the exam. This man was holding a square piece of paper in his hand, which was the list of the autumn exam. In front of a mahogany tablet that had been erected, he posted the list in his hand on the tablet, which attracted the attention of all.

After he finished all this, he faced the crowd and shouted in his mouth: "This autumn exam, a total of [-] people were admitted in Ningzhou, and their names are all on this list. You can check the rankings by yourself later. " After saying that, he returned to the courtyard and disappeared, only two officials guarded the list to prevent it from being destroyed.

boom!
As soon as this person left, it was as if a pot had exploded on the street. A crowd of scholars scrambled forward, looking through the 90 names on the list with their eyes wide open, for fear that they would miss themselves. Soon someone laughed heartily and said: "Haha, hahahaha, I, I am on the list, No. [-] eighth!"

There are people around who are envious, and some people shake their heads slightly after hearing it. Only in the exam of Ningzhou, this person is ranked last. In the next day, he might be eliminated in the exam, so what is there to be happy about? ?
"Tu Ding, Tu Ding, I, my No. 30 six! Hahaha, cough cough..." There was a violent cough.

"I, Kan Yongqiang, rank nine in No. 70! Mother, I did it!" A middle-aged scholar shouted excitedly.

The shouts of surprise continued one after another, and all the scholars on the list were overjoyed.

"I, Sun Zhen, number one hundred and eighth!"

Suddenly an old voice came from the crowd. Everyone followed the sound and saw an old man with a cane, gray hair, and crane lines on his face. His body was trembling and he was already crying from excitement. , crying and laughing, murmured: "I have been taking the exam for more than 40 years, and I finally passed the exam. I really deserve it..." Before he finished speaking, he covered his mouth and coughed for a while.

Seeing this, the scholars around couldn't help backing back again and again, and suddenly there was a big circle around them, and they complained in their hearts: You have been in the exam for decades, and you are still the last one. Why are you so excited?
I was really afraid that his body would be overwhelmed, and he would pass out of breath by accident.

At this time, a boy in his fifteenth or sixteen years old suddenly squeezed out from the crowd, happily grabbed the corner of the old man's clothes, smiled proudly, "Grandpa Zeng, Grandpa Zeng, my grandson passed the exam too, It's the one hundred and seventh place!"

The old man caressed the young man's head with his big hand, stretched out his thumb with the other hand, and said with a smile, "Good grandson! Promising!"

A group of people saw this scene... their jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock. It was the first time they had seen such a strange thing in their life.

Just when everyone was secretly slandering this pair of wonderful grandparents, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "I don't know who got the name of Qiu Wei this time?"
