Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

Time flies by like a flash, two days have passed in the blink of an eye, and finally it is the day of opening the list.

Early in the morning, before the door of the Gong Yuan opened, the door was already full of people. Hundreds of students stayed here before dawn. They studied hard for ten or even dozens of years, waiting for the list to be posted At that moment, regardless of long gowns and brocade clothes, they all stretched their necks and looked in, as if if they took a second look, the closed door could be opened in advance.Although they are all waiting, everyone has different expressions, some are anxious, some are calm, some are sad and lamented, some are full of confidence, because, the piece of paper in the near future is likely to be will change their fate.In addition to their candidates for the exam, there are some special people around not far away. Most of them are wealthy households in the capital, and their families are rich. , Go to the bottom of the list to arrest someone and make him a Lang official for his brother.

An Rubao and An Chengyou didn't follow in. They both stood outside the crowd. An Rubao was alright. Although he was a little nervous, he didn't have much hope in his heart. In contrast, An Chengyou, who had always been gentle and self-sufficient, was a little restless, standing on tiptoe from time to time to look inside.

Several guards brought by Xing Shan and An Chengyou stood beside them, calmly blocking the crowd that was still pouring in.

An Chengyou turned around twice on the spot, rubbing his hands constantly, and seeing An Rubao's unhurried appearance in a blink of an eye, he wanted to admire and envy him, and couldn't help but sighed: "Brother Rubao is so indifferent, it must be because he has a plan in mind." .”

An Rubao smiled and said: "No, it's just that the exam period has passed, and the grades are inevitable, and the grades will not change because of your impatience. It's better to take it easy. We are still young, and today we are still young. Not once, but come again later.”

After hearing this, An Chengyou seemed to have realized something, nodded repeatedly, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Rubao said it is very true, I was the one who got the picture, thank you Brother Rubao for reminding me."

An Rubao waved his hand and said: "It's just a big heart, it's not enough to praise. Don't worry too much. There are so many people today. I'll just let Brother Xing and the others go in to see the list. They have strength and it's easy to squeeze in. Otherwise, they will be alone." Based on the two of you going in, I'm afraid we won't make it to the top of the list for half a day." Hearing this, An Chengyou smiled "puchi", and the anxiety in his heart gradually calmed down.

The two watched and talked, their expressions were relaxed, and they looked very conspicuous and abrupt in the crowd, which aroused many people's attention.At this time, I suddenly heard someone not far away saying: "Hey, isn't this An Xiucai from Qingshan Village?"

The voice of An Rubao sounded familiar, and he couldn't help turning around to look over, and saw a man standing not far away, wearing a jade crown and a stone blue gown, with a clear face and romantic eyes, but he was in Yuxing Wang Zhenqing, the second young master of the Wang family, once had a relationship on both sides of the city.

Not seeing each other for several years, Wang Zhenqing's arrogance not only hasn't diminished at all, it seems to be getting worse.An Rubao's impression of him was mediocre, but now seeing his superior appearance, he couldn't help but secretly frowned, and said indifferently: "Oh, so it's the Second Young Master Wang. Hello, Second Young Master Wang."

Wang Zhenqing also ignored his attitude, turned around to look at the crowds in front of the tribute courtyard, looked at An Rubao up and down, and said, "It seems that An Xiucai is also here to rush for the exam. It’s so easy, don’t you think you will be able to go to high school? That’s right, An Xiucai and Gaocai have experienced it before, and I think I must be in the top one.”

An Rubao said: "It is said that there are people outside of people, and there is heaven outside. In front of the world's students, I dare not be regarded as a talented person, but the second young master's talent has spread far and wide, and he will definitely be named on the gold list."

Wang Zhenqing is the most conceited person, An Rubao's words went straight to his heart, he was proud of his heart, and he showed a little bit of humility on his face, and said humbly: "Where is that..." Rolling his eyes, he said again : "By the way, I heard from my husband that I grew up with An Xiucai, and the relationship is very close. It was only after you moved your family to Qingshan Village that you lost contact. All these years, my husband has always missed An Xiucai. It just so happens that my husband accompanied me to watch the list today, and I would be very happy to know that An Xiucai is here, maybe you haven't seen each other for a long time, why don't you meet up and catch up?"

Everyone in Yuxing City knew about the engagement between An Rubao and Ding Qingning, the younger brother of the Ding family. This has always been a thorn in Wang Zhenqing's heart, and therefore every time she sees An Rubao, she can't help being provocative.Now that Ding Qingning is married to him, and An Rubao has already welcomed Song Chu, what he said is a bit intriguing.

An Rubao recalled the encounter with Ding Qingning a few days ago, so he guessed Wang Zhenqing's mind at random. It was nothing more than jealousy or damage to his dignity. Ru Bao's eyes were slightly cold, and he replied: "Brother Wang was joking, who doesn't know that Brother Wang has a deep love for your husband, Lang Yu, and envies others. I am a young playmate who may not even have a shadow left in his heart. There is no such thing as never forgetting. On the contrary, Brother Wang, every time we meet, you are so close and enthusiastic, I am really flattered, come on, come on, why don't we two get close and close." Then he went to hold Wang Zhenqing's hand.

Wang Zhenqing was startled by his actions, and quickly dodged, her face flushed, pointing at An Rubao, and said: "You...you..." But she couldn't even say a whole sentence, just here At that time, someone shouted "The door is open, the list is released!" Attracting everyone's attention, they saw that the gate of the Gongyuan finally opened slowly in everyone's expectation.An Rubao didn't want to get entangled with Wang Zhenqing anymore, so he took the opportunity to take An Chengyou to another remote place.An Chengyou didn't know Wang Zhenqing, so he wanted to inquire about it, but seeing An Rubao's expression was not good, he didn't dare to say more, and obediently waited for the announcement.Soon, someone in the tribute courtyard came out with scrolls in both hands, and under the guard of soldiers, posted the list on the early wall outside the tribute courtyard.After posting it, the candidates who had been waiting for a long time huffed and surrounded the list.

An Rubao and An Chengyou clicked their tongues secretly, so they had to ask Xing Shan and his two guards to go to see the list.Xing Shan and the two agreed, and then disappeared into the crowd.

There are three lists in the examination, which are divided into first, second and third.Xing Shan and the two guards were equipped with kung fu, and those powerless gestures could not stop them. They quickly squeezed to the front of the list. After the three lists were posted, they looked at them one by one. past.

An Chengyou, who had just calmed down, became nervous again, circling around An Rubao, making An Rubao dizzy.After finally waiting for the three of Xing Shan and the others to squeeze out, he opened his mouth again, not daring to ask what the result was.

The two people who went with Xing Shan looked happy, and said to An Chengyou: "Congratulations, young master, you have won the No. 13 of the second class." An Chengyou was stunned for a long time when he first heard the good news. Silly said: "I hit it, I hit it, hehe, I hit it..."

Xing Shan's complexion was not very good, he just shook his head at An Rubao and didn't speak.This result was expected by An Rubao. After all, he is not a local, and the time to study is short. The county test relies on the original main foundation.

An Chengyou danced and danced for a while before he noticed the situation on An Rubao's side. At first glance, An Rubao's neither sad nor happy expression didn't make much sense. It was only after seeing Xing Shan's expression that he guessed something. Immediately, the joy faded a little, and the smile on his face was suppressed, and he said embarrassingly: "That...sorry, it's... I got carried away with my complacency, no wonder Brother Rubao."

An Rubao hurriedly said: "It's okay." Then he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations."

An Chengyou hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Thank you, Brother Rubao." Then he said with some injustice: "Brother Rubao is more talented and knowledgeable than me, why did I win but you didn't? Could it be that these examiners are all blind?"

An Rubao said with a smile: "You won, but I didn't. Naturally, it's because you are better than me. These examiners are now your mentors. It's outrageous to say that." An Chengyou knew he had made a slip of the tongue, He bowed his head and said nothing.

At this time, there was another scene at the entrance of the Gongyuan, with howling, laughing, and mourning. Knowing the result, An Rubao and An Chengyou didn't want to stay any longer, and took Xing Shan and the others away.

Back at the inn, Qin Wenchang was already waiting there. After hearing the result, he congratulated An Chengyou first, and then comforted An Rubao: "Don't be sad, this time it won't work, there will be next time, as long as you have the ability to always will not be buried."

Ru Bao didn't have much sentimentality at all, so he pretended to deal with it with a few words and then exposed the matter.

After all, An Chengyou's high school was a good thing. At noon, the three of them called a banquet in the inn and ordered a jug of wine as a celebration.

At the banquet, all three of them poured wine and had a great time drinking.

When the wine was half full, An Rubao put down his wine glass, looked at Qin Wenchang with burning eyes and said, "Cousin, I have something to ask my cousin, is it convenient?"

Qin Wenchang said: "I don't know what it is?"

An Rubao paused for a moment and then said solemnly: "I want to ask about the battle ahead, does my cousin know?"

Qin Wenchang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and said for a long time: "I work in the Ministry of Rites, and I know very little about the frontline affairs, but..."

Seeing that he hesitated to speak, An Rubao hurriedly asked, "But what?"

Qin Wenchang thought for a while, then said: "I heard that Liangzhou has fallen..."

An Rubao and An Chengyou exclaimed in shock, "We've lost!"

Qin Wenchang nodded and said: "After Xie Yi's defeat, the barbarians took the opportunity to capture Sishui Pass and approach Liangzhou. Liangzhou is the northwest gate of Jingguo. It is heavily guarded and easy to defend but difficult to attack. It would not have been broken so easily. I hate Liangzhou." State guards and a group of subordinates are greedy for life and afraid of death. The barbarians sacked the city several times and scared them out of courage. They even abandoned the tens of thousands of people in Liangzhou city and fled back to Jingzhou alone. Now the army commanded by Duke Zheng has not yet arrived in Jingzhou. State, I only ask Zheng Guogong to be able to turn the tide, keep the country of Jingguo, and save the people from the fire and water."

An Rubao slapped the table and cursed: "Damn it, since ancient times there has been no shortage of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. The people who pay food and taxes are feeding this bunch of moths. These people really deserve to die."

An Chengyou was also a little annoyed, he picked up his wine glass and took a long sip, and said angrily, "It deserves a thousand cuts!" Together with An Rubao, they scolded the Liangzhou guards thoroughly before they stopped talking.

Qin Wenchang urged Wan Qian and the two of them not to let other people know about this matter.But there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and soon, the news of Liangzhou's fall spread all over the capital, and the whole Jingguo panicked.
