Chapter 204 Catching a son-in-law at the bottom of the list
Although he is at the bottom of the list, even though he is in the last place, he is still a high school candidate, and his status is very different.
Whether the students in the inn are jealous, envious, or look at Zhu Ping'an through colored glasses, if they win, they win. The students came over in twos and threes to thank Zhu Pingan, and Zhu Pingan also stood up and returned the greeting one by one.
The good news came one after another, whizzing past the door, allowing the waiting staff in the inn to see through the autumn water.
However, everyone did not have to wait long, as two guards came into the inn again to announce the good news.
"Good news in the provincial examination, congratulations to Zhu Shiming of Suzhou Prefecture for ranking 89th in the provincial examination of Mr. Zhu High School."
Another student in the inn passed the examination. He still has the same surname as Zhu Pingan, but his ranking is better than Zhu Pingan. A lot, number eighty-nine. Of course, he is much older than Zhu Pingan, at least in his forties.
The wind direction in the inn has completely changed. Except for the fat man, all the students who were originally around Zhu Pingan all rushed to Zhu Shiming's side with congratulations and relatives.
"Brother Zhu is not lucky to be elected."
"That is, Sima Xiangru and Lin Xiangru are not the same in name and appearance"
Some of the students surrounding Zhu Shiming did not hesitate to secretly belittle Zhu Pingan in order to praise Zhu Shiming, alluding to the fact that Zhu Pingan's talent was obtained by luck, and Zhu Shiming's talent was genuine.
“What the hell!” The fat man was dissatisfied and looked at the people surrounding Zhu Shiming with contempt with his small eyes.
"Why don't you mind, let's go and congratulate each other." Zhu Ping'an didn't care, raised the corners of his lips slightly, half-smiling, stood up and said to the fat man lightly.
When Zhu Ping'an led the fat man to congratulate Zhu Shiming, he could see arrogance and a touch of disdain in Zhu Shiming's eyes. Although Zhu Shiming was very humble in return, his eyes could not lie.
“What are you so proud of? You were half buried in the ground before you won the election. What’s there to be proud of? You’re not even worthy of carrying our brothers’ shoes.”
After returning to his seat, the fat man looked at the proud Zhu Shiming and curled his lips.
Zhu Ping'an looked at the proud Zhu Shiming, slightly raised the corners of his lips, and shook his head slightly. If the container is full, the amount of it will be limited to this.
It’s just a provincial examination. The road to becoming an official is a long one, and you won’t get there until now.
"The results have been released, the results have been released."
Not long after, excited shouts came from outside the inn, and then the students inside the inn became hopeful again, and the news from the guards was not guaranteed. They were all delivered in time. Maybe mine hadn't arrived in time, so the health workers rushed outside the inn.
"Come on, let's take a look too." The fat man also took Zhu Ping'an with him to see the results in front of Jiangnan Gongyuan.
Zhu Ping'an didn't want to miss this historic moment, so he followed Fatty all the way to Jiangnan Gongyuan.
Jiangnan Gongyuan was crowded with people, and it was very lively with lanterns and colorful decorations. When Zhu Pingan passed by, he happened to see the crowd under the Guibang, who seemed to have been scalded by boiling water, and screamed non-stop.
"Come on, come on, someone is trying to catch your son-in-law."
At this time, a shouting voice cleared up Zhu Pingan's confusion. It turned out that someone was trying to catch his son-in-law. So, Zhu Ping'an found a stone with great interest and stood on it, looking down at the lively crowd.
I saw a young man in the uniform of a student in the crowd being pulled and pulled by seven or eight uniformly dressed servants. On the other side, there was an elder about fifty years old, stroking his beard and watching this scene, occasionally saying to the servants back and forth. He said, "This virtuous son-in-law, please come to my home and reward me with ten taels of silver."
Under the generous reward, the servants quickly pulled the young student in like a chicken blood. In the sedan chair.
The elder, who was about fifty years old, smiled and handed over to the crowd. Another servant sprinkled copper coins to the crowd, which meant that he was happy with the money. Then the elder got into the other side to teach his son, and was carried back home by the servant.
"Did you see that the son-in-law who was captured is our Yingtian Cao Yang Cao Jieyuan? I really envy us. Do you know that the old man is our fifth-rank fellow in Yingtian Mansion, Mr. Zhao? I heard He has three beautiful daughters in his family, tusk tusk tusk.”
“Today’s inscription on the gold medal list, and tomorrow’s bridal chamber will be decorated with flowers and candles. I am really envious of you. I will definitely have my buttocks stabbed when I go back.”
"Hey, why didn't I wait?"
Listening to the envious and jealous voices of the people around him, Zhu Ping'an also knew that the son-in-law who was captured was Cao Yang and Cao Jieyuan this time. However, although Cao Yang looks young, he is at least twenty-three or four years old. At this age, he should have been married in ancient times. He would catch his son-in-law and catch his son-in-law. I don't know how Cao Jieyuan would deal with it.
In a high-rise private room of a restaurant not far from here, two examiners in casual clothes were drinking and watching from a distance through the window the scene of Jiangnan Gongyuan releasing the results.
"Haha, then Cao Yang must thank Brother Zhang." Examiner Wang looked at the scene of catching his son-in-law under the list and couldn't help but smile at Examiner Zhang.
Examiner Zhang shook his head, smiled bitterly, and was speechless.
"You picked up Jieyuan for nothing." Examiner Wang said meaningfully while stroking his beard.
"Brother Wang, be careful what you say." Chief Zhang shook his head and said with a bitter smile.
"There are only two of you and me here. Everyone else has gone to see the rankings, so there is no need to be cautious. Let me tell you, Brother Zhang’s idea is very good, but his approach is biased. A person who should have He is a good Jieyuan, but you were forced to put him at the bottom of the list." Examiner Wang looked at Examiner Zhang and shook his head.
"If he can understand my hard work, he will be very grateful to me in the future." Examiner Zhang stroked his beard with a calm expression, "There are countless examples of hurting Zhongyong, and I don't want to be like this. The young talent has become a counterexample to the education of future generations."
"How does Brother Zhang know that this young man is not a perseverant and diligent person?" Examiner Wang asked again.
"I had to do it as a last resort. These young talents are the pillars of the country. I did this to be sure." Examiner Zhang said calmly.
While the two examiners were talking nonsense, more and more people were looking at the rankings in front of Jiangnan Gongyuan. Zhu Pingan and the fat man finally squeezed to the bottom of the rankings.
First place Cao Yang, second place Xu Tianshou, third place Liu Rucheng, fourth place Yang Daowao, fifth place Jiang Yuyou, sixth place Li Yuze
Zhu Pingan looked up The list was full of unfamiliar names. It wasn’t until I saw the 20th place that I saw the familiar name, Wang Jin. Then I saw Liu Qian and Guo Ziyu at the 63rd and 79th places, and then there was no familiar name anymore. name.
As for Feng Shanshui, Xia Luoming and the people who usually stayed with them, they were all not on the list. They either failed to take the exam or failed the exam.
"Mr. Zhou, it's really you."
Hearing a cheering voice, Zhu Pingan turned his head and saw two familiar girls, one was a girl with a pony top, and the other was A girl several years older.
"Mr. Zhou, don't be sad. You didn't pass the exam this time, but you can definitely do it next time." The girl with a ponytail blinked her big sympathetic eyes, pinched the corners of her clothes, and was full of emotions. It was a sympathetic word of comfort.
The other girl looked similar.
"Master Zhou, hahaha"
When the fat man heard this, he pointed at Zhu Ping'an and couldn't help laughing.
"Hey, do you have any sympathy? You, how can you make fun of Mr. Zhou like this? You don't know how hard Mr. Zhou works but it doesn't matter if he fails. Mr. Zhou will definitely be able to go to high school next time." The girl with a ponytail pouted her lips and was very dissatisfied with the fat man.
"Congratulations, Brother Zhu."
At this time, another voice came over. Xia Luoming, Feng Shanshui and others followed Liu Qian and Guo Ziyu and walked over. Xia Luoming looked a little complicated. Congratulations to Zhu Pingan.
"You are lucky. Although you are at the bottom of the list, you are still on the list, right? When you go back, you should give more incense to your ancestors of the Zhu family."
Guo Ziyu also expressed his congratulations to Zhu Pingan, but his strange voice and arrogant look clearly showed his disdain.
"Zhu? Isn't Mr. Zhou's surname Zhou?" The girl with her horse in a bun was stunned.
Another older girl also glanced at Zhu Pingan with a faint expression. However, when she saw Xia Luoming and others coming over, the older girl had not had time to ask Zhu Pingan for confirmation. He took her and left in a hurry. Just now they could take advantage of the crowd to look at the rankings, but now the people coming to Zhu Ping'an's side are either candidates or scholars, which is obviously not a place for the two brothel girls to stay.
