429 I can’t bear to cut off your head (1)
“Four hundred and sixty, Yang Zhen, Imperial College student. 459th place, li zhuming, from hushui County of Qingzhou ...”
The clerk standing under the Wall of Fame and reputation announced the results loudly. The moment he opened his mouth, the originally noisy wave of voices quieted down.
Thousands of students perked up their ears to listen, and when they heard their names, they either cried tears of joy or raised their arms and cried out.
“Erlang, why haven’t I heard your name yet?” His aunt was a little anxious.
“Mother, it’s only a hundred something.” “Didn’t you say that second brother is at the Huiyuan stage?” Xu lingyue comforted.
The Auntie glared at her daughter. This wretched girl even dared to tease her.
“Erlang, it’s not your turn yet,”
When he was in the 50th place, his aunt became even more anxious and frowned.
“Let’s wait a little longer,” Xu Erlang frowned.
When he reached the top ten, his aunt’s face turned pale. She felt that her son would most likely miss the roll.
Xu niannian’s eyes showed some apprehension and excitement. This was a trend of ” it’s a difficult journey “. Thinking of his elder brother’s ” it’s a difficult journey ” and his own accumulation, Erlang felt somewhat confident.
Finally, when that voice rang out,”today is the day of the festival, may we wish the new year, students of Yun Lu Academy, people of the capital ..”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere was a loud ‘boom’ next to her aunt’s ear, as if a Thunderbolt had exploded, and her entire body trembled.
This “Jiao Lei” also exploded in the ears of the thousands of students and the surrounding night watchmen. The first thought that came to their minds was:That was impossible!
It was impossible for a student of Yun Lu Academy to become Huiyuan. The struggle for the right to become the Confucians had lasted for two hundred years, and it was an undeniable fact that the students of Yun Lu Academy had been suppressed in the officialdom.
With such a huge background, how could Huiyuan be a student of Yun Lu Academy?
The last scholar from Yun Lu Academy who became ‘Huiyuan’ was layman Purple Sun from 20 years ago. However, what kind of person was layman Zi Yang?
He was a fourth-grade great scholar.
Twenty years later, it would be completely reasonable for him to become the Huiyuan or even the top scholar. He was a Hidden Dragon.
However, from another perspective, this scholar who also came from Yun Lu Academy fought his way out of thousands of soldiers and horses to become Huiyuan.
Did this mean that he also had the potential to become a great scholar?
For a time, many people were tempted.
These people were all rich men or officials.
There had been a practice of searching for a son-in-law under the apricot roll since ancient times. In the yuanjing year of the great Feng dynasty, although it was not popular, there were still many families who kept the apricot roll to look for a son-in-law.
They were waiting for an outstanding scholar with the potential to be a Hidden Dragon, such as the ” Huiyuan ” who was offering New Year’s greetings.
Capturing a son-in-law under the apricot roll was a joke. A wealthy family guarded the apricot roll and took a fancy to a scholar, so they sent someone to their house to matchmake, fighting for time.
Once the match-making was successful, the marriage would be set, and no one would be able to snatch it away.
In an era where etiquette was more important than heaven, one could not simply break off a marriage with the pressure of the sect’s elders, a Qi-gathering elixir, and so on. Unless they didn’t want a bright future.
“Who’s Xu Xinyi?”
who’s old master Xu, New Year Xu? ”
From time to time, there were inquiries from the crowd.
A student turned around and saw the dazed Xu niannian across the sea of people. He immediately shouted, “”Farewell, congratulations. Xu Xinyi is there.”
Whoosh ... The first to rush over were not the students, but the people who wanted to catch the necromancers. They surrounded Xu niannian with their retinue.
“Does Xu Huiyuan have a marriage? I have a daughter, 28 years old, as beautiful as a flower. I’m willing to marry young master as my wife.”
“I also have an unmarried daughter in my family, who is proficient in zither, go, calligraphy, and painting.”
Xu niannian kept backing away.
Chun ‘er stood on her tiptoes and looked at it for a moment, then said happily, ” it’s really interesting to find a son-in-law under the roll. Miss, I didn’t expect Huiyuan to be that handsome scholar.
As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain was suddenly lifted, and the gentle and sweet Miss Wang with some baby fat on her cheeks looked around for a moment and said, ”
“Chun ‘er, go back.”
On the other side, Xu niannian, who had never seen such a scene before, frowned.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust as he was about to shout at these insensible things, he suddenly saw a few Jianghu people rushing up with malicious intentions. They crashed into the ” protective wall ” formed by the retinue and intended to take advantage of his mother and sister.
The retinue was forced to step back, and his aunt and lingyue screamed in fear.
“Stop!”
Xu Erlang shouted.
However, it was useless. He couldn’t stop so many people at all.
“Ha, such a hoodlum. He doesn’t have any ability, but he’s good at fishing in troubled waters.” The middle-aged swordsman saw this scene from afar and was quite disdainful.
However, he didn’t care too much about it. This kind of small chaos would soon be stopped by the night watchmen and the soldiers. However, the two beautiful women would probably be frightened.
“Stop!”
Suddenly, a deafening sound exploded. This time, it was not a psychological explosion, but a real Thunder explosion. It made the thousand people present feel dizzy and their ears were ringing.
The commotion stopped immediately.
On the wall of the examination hall stood a young man in a watchman’s uniform with an embroidered silver Gong. With one hand on his saber, his sharp eyes swept over the group of martial artists who were causing trouble.
At the same time, the soldiers and night watchmen squeezed through the crowd and finally arrived.
The moment she saw Xu Qi ‘an, the aunt felt relieved, as if she had someone to rely on. The mother and daughter were relieved.
...
“Take those troublemakers away.” Xu Qi ‘an pointed out the Jianghu men one by one, and the gongs around them immediately went to get them.
The students recognized Xu Qi ‘an and were quite surprised. They shouted, “”It’s Xu shikui!”
