  Chapter 139 is another year when the rankings are released

  Zhu Ping'an just returned to his seat, and the fat Xue Chi grinned at Zhu Ping'an like a bulldog, obviously realizing that Zhu Ping'an had just paid the bill.

   "Brother Xue, you are really" Zhu Pingan shook his head slightly.

   "Both of us, everything is in the wine, come here." The fat man came over with a wine glass, grinning.

  The hospitality is hard to come by, so Zhu Pingan had no choice but to clink the wine glass. Wine is good wine, but don't be greedy.

  Zhu Ping'an can still control himself, but his uncle Zhu Shouren and other villagers, as well as the fat Xue Chi, are not self-controlled people.

"Yo Yo Luming, the sweetness of the wild food. I have guests, playing the zither and the qin. The harp and the qin are harmonious and exquisite. I have a special wine, with the heart of a guest of Yanle." After drinking to the point, the uncle Zhu Shouren and Fatty sang the song "Xiaoya. Luming" while beating the wine glass with a bamboo chip, very happy.

   The cups and plates were messed up, Zhu Ping'an was slightly drunk, uncle Fatty and the others were already drunk, and everyone refused to accept it and supported the wall.

   "Boom! Boom!"

   "Boom! Boom!"

  There was the sound of the watchman beating the clapper on the second watch outside, beating again and again, many times in a row. If you beat the evening drum at three o'clock in the first watch, you will be banned at night. Now it's the second watch. If you are caught by the government servants while walking on the street, no matter whether you are a scholar or not, you have to beat forty boards when you come up.

  Zhu Pingan looked at the people on the table with their tongues sticking out all over the place, speechless.

  However, Zhuangyuanlou who is in the restaurant business often encounters this situation, and there is a solution, that is, the back of the restaurant is connected to its own inn. Zhu Pingan called the store clerk to ask for a Datong bunk, paid the money, and asked the shop clerk to help him stuff uncle Fatty and others into the Tong bunk.

  The night was a mess, and the people lying on the bunk performed the trick of spitting on the fountain from time to time, which made Zhu Pingan pay the restaurant an extra 100 Wen.

  Woke up the next day, the uncle and others went to the other side of the Qinhuai River to meet the friend who had bid farewell to his mentor yesterday. After the uncle and others left, the fat man said to Zhu Pingan, "Brother Zhu, you need to be more careful about your uncle in the future."

   "Why?" Zhu Pingan asked casually.

   "It's just a feeling, be careful when sailing for ten thousand years." The fat man shook his hangover head, vaguely speaking.

The fat man looked carefree. Unexpectedly, he was someone like Zhang Fei, who could sense the essence of his uncle after just one drink, and reminded himself that he would not make people feel that he was sowing discord. This surprised Zhu Pingan. I thought this guy belonged to the kind of heartless person.

   "Yes." Zhu Pingan responded noncommittally.

Returning from the restaurant to the inn, we passed the Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard. In front of the Tribute Courtyard, sergeants with swords and government officials set up a barrier at the entrance, and warned every passerby not to make noise. Trial trip, but I don't know which unlucky rooms will be next to the dung.

   Fatty passed by the Jiangnan Tribute Courtyard, and retched a few times, which was purely a conditioned reflex.

  Because the list was released within ten days, Zhu Pingan was not in a hurry to go home, and waited until the list was released before going home. Therefore, during the day, I practice calligraphy, read books, and the mosquito repellent medicine dispensed from the pharmacy is very effective. I put it in my purse, and there are few mosquitoes infested by reading in the woods. The time passed slowly.

  The exciting moment has finally arrived.

   Wait until ten days after the second batch of candidates for the college examination, the time for the release of the results of the college exam will arrive. The release of the rankings in the college examination is different from the county examination and the prefectural examination. The prefectural examination is divided into 14 lists, and each prefecture has a separate list. High school students in each prefecture are on the same list, and each prefecture will also have a case leader. This case is also the real case of Tong Ziqian.

  On this day, Zhu Ping'an came back from studying and practicing calligraphy outside. Before he arrived at the inn, he saw a row of familiar people standing at the door of the inn.

  Seeing Zhu Ping'an, several people swarmed over, pulling arms, holding hands, and pushing from behind. Zhu Ping'an was pushed and shoved towards the Confucius Temple before he could react.

   "Let's go, I'll be waiting for you, the exam results are released."

   "Hurry up, this year the list will be released in the Confucius Temple, if you go late, there will be no good place."

  Everyone dragged Zhu Pingan and began to trot all the way. Everyone was full of confidence. On the way, they imagined the scene of the hairpin banquet after passing the exam, and discussed it from time to time.

  Zhu Ping'an listened to the scene of the hairpin banquet they envisioned with a painful face, and silently counted down the time for their final carnival.

   It's hard to imagine how they will feel when they see the list.

  The front of the Confucius Temple was crowded with people, and the crowd was surging. In addition to the examinees, many parents also came from thousands of miles.

   "Brother Zhu, brothers and sisters, I'm going to look at the list first, and we'll meet up here later." As soon as the fat man arrived in front of the Confucius Temple, he couldn't wait to bid farewell to look at their house's list.

   "Well, don't get too excited." Zhu Pingan hesitated for a while, but still didn't say anything.

"Why aren't you excited? My dad hasn't passed the exam for so many years. When I throw the list in front of him, it will be such a joy." The golden locks on his neck were rattling, and after speaking, the fat man couldn't wait to squeeze his way to the front of their Fengyang Mansion's list, calm as if he were fat, and moving like a fat rabbit.

  Seeing the fat man rushing left and right in the crowd, Zhu Ping'an could only hope that the fat man would be able to bear it.

Uncle Zhu Shouren and others couldn't wait to pull Zhu Pingan to the front of the list in Anqing Mansion. Zhu Pingan couldn't help being pushed into the crowd by his uncle and others. Those who didn't know the inside story thought it was Zhu Pingan who was excited Go inside.

   That's right, that's how it looks from the outside.

Just like Xia Luoming in Tongcheng, Feng Shanshui in Susong, and Brother Guo and Liu, who were surrounded by everyone, and the two of them admired very much, in their eyes, Zhu Ping'an was the kind of cat who was as excited as if he smelled fish, Those who have no image at all squeeze in, just a layman.

  In their eyes, how ridiculous is Zhu Pingan, who wrote chrysanthemum poems and even tried to get involved in the college examination list.

"It's ridiculous." Brother Guo, who used to lie in front of the window of the private room to write poems about Zhu Ping'an, looked at Zhu Ping'an who was rushing in, and let out a sneer, "It's too urgent, too slow, the list is here There, it won't change. Why make yourself ashamed, a man can't do it."

   "Exactly, what brother Guo said is very true, gentlemanly demeanor." Feng Shanshui echoed with a wave of his folding fan.

   "That's right, Zhu Ping'an is so ridiculous. His poems are off topic, and he couldn't find the clues for more than ten days. Now he is still delusional about being on the list, haha." Several people in the crowd echoed with a smile.

  These people walked towards the list without haste, laughing wantonly at Zhu Pingan, whose clothes were all messed up in the crowd.

  Under the list, whether crying or laughing, there are all kinds of expressions in the world.
