Yu Jun

Chapter 201
After noon on August 26th, Shi Yuan dismounted on the street of Guanyin Bridge, and threw the whip to his followers, so that they didn't have to follow him. He strode into the crowd by himself.

After he got the big lucky boat, he was rich in money every day, his shabby air was swept away, and his body swelled accordingly. He went all the way to Dingfang Restaurant, only a little trace of the past remained when he walked-always pay attention to the side , as if afraid of bumping into something.

He squeezed into the restaurant all the way, and then stepped up the stairs amidst the noise, when someone saw him with sharp eyes, he immediately shouted: "Master Shi, come and have a drink!"

"Master Shi also came to see the Dragon and Tiger List?"

"Have you booked a pavilion? Do you want to sit together?"

Shi Yuan cupped his hands and answered a circle, then walked up again, his heart was really overturned, when his family was poor, only Cheng San didn't mind him walking outside, but now his brother-in-law's family dare not face his sister Feel free to drink.

He went up to the second floor in two or three steps, found the "Fang" pavilion, adjusted his clothes at the door, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

Someone in the room responded quickly, and he quickly pushed the door open and went in, then turned around and closed the door, and saw Wu Jin standing tall and jade, watching the situation of the Gongyuan by the window.

Today is the auspicious time for the release of the list, and now the end is approaching. There are crowds of people outside the tribute courtyard. Soldiers holding long knives stand in front of the "release wall", separating the crowd from the wall by ten steps.

On the top of the list wall, a piece of yellow paper reads "The place where the list is released by the Kuanzhou Fajie Examination Gongyuan in the 28th year of Yuanzhang". The people who are waiting for the list look up and stretch their necks. Pull down the sun, to the end of time as soon as possible.

There is a lot of noise everywhere, and at a glance, there are crowds of people, and the streets are jammed, waiting for the announcement.

Wu Jin turned around and walked to the table, held the pot and poured a cup of tea for Shi Yuan: "There are still two quarters of an hour."

Shi Yuan quickly took the teacup, thanked Wu Jin, sat down with the teacup in his hands, and drank it with his head raised - he was squeezed all the way, almost lost his shoes.

After drinking the tea, he saw a few snacks on the table, he opened his mouth to eat, ate three pieces, and drank the rest of the tea, his hunger disappeared, and his face became more energetic. Only then did he bow his hands to Wu Jin with shame and shame: "I'm sorry."

Wu Jin poured him another cup of tea, stood up and opened the door, called the waiter to serve the food, the waiter immediately yelled at the top of his voice, and after a while, the waiter came over, spread out two dishes of side dishes and a plate of meat buns , a plate of vegetable rolls, and a stewed hoof.

After the waiter left, Shi Yuan took out a thin piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wu Jin: "Last year, the leather armor was disassembled and sold. Tiger skin sewing, if the North and South workshops know that the leather armor that has been painstakingly made is taken apart and stitched, and stitched and taken apart, I am afraid that it will die of anger."

Wu Jin took it in her hand, opened it, looked at it, and put it back in her sleeve: "Thank you."

Shi Yuan picked up his chopsticks and took out a meat bun: "I'm afraid Wang has noticed something. Recently, his movements have been much smaller. After this batch of leather armors, nothing has been produced."

Wu Jin said: "The reason why he restrained himself was probably because of the defeat of the fortress."

The strongholds supported by the imperial court have lost three villages one after another, and even lost all the land outside Hengshan. The huge military pay has been turned into wind and smoke. The resentment and dissatisfaction of the monarch, court officials, and common people all need an outlet.

Wang Zhizhou knew this well, so he restrained himself and made arrangements in advance to find a way out for himself.

Shi Yuan chewed the steamed stuffed bun, figured out the reason, and said in a low voice, "At this time, it's the best time to do it."

Wu Jin smiled, stared at the chopsticks and said, "No."

Wait a little longer, the best time will be when Mo Lingfeng grows up a bit, becomes more stable, and can retreat from all disputes.

Shi Yuan thought for a while: "It is true that we can observe from the sidelines first, maybe we don't need to do it."

Wu Jin nodded, picked up the chopsticks, and stopped talking.

Shi Yuan didn't say any more, he was used to running outside, he ate every meal in a hurry, after eating a round of big meat buns, he began to force his hoof, Wu Jin sat opposite, eating slowly, waiting After eating and drinking, he put down his chopsticks, and he put down his chopsticks too.

At this time, it was less than two quarters of an hour.

Shi Yuan got up and called the waiter to come in, took away the leftovers, and replaced it with hot tea, the two of them could start a new round of chatting in front of the steaming tea.

At this moment, a gong sounded outside, followed by a loud roar: "Release the list!"

After the sound, the whole street was alarmed. People in restaurants, foot shops, and teahouses all poked their heads out. People on the street rushed to the front, and there was a shout like a tsunami.

Shi Yuan's mood was agitated, and he rushed to the window, stretched out his head to watch the excitement, and saw ladders had been set up on both sides of the list wall, two soldiers were holding the yellow paper list on both sides, one remained still, the other One person slowly pulled it away.

It was far away, and Shi Yuan couldn't see the handwriting on the paper, but he also knew that the first one to come out was Qiu Wei No. 6, followed by the name and place of origin, and opened to the last one in turn, and then No. 5, and kept falling. Write to No.1 solution element.

He turned to look at Wu Jin: "That boy named Qi Chang, I don't know if he was on the list. I heard that he took a toilet number during the exam?"

In the Gongyuan No. [-] house, the one next to the latrine is the lavatory, and it smells so bad that just sitting there is a kind of torture.

Wu Jin nodded: "He was silent for a while and showed it to me, the test is not bad."

"It's not easy." Shi Yuan sighed with emotion, and when he heard drums and gongs beating below, he quickly turned his head back and leaned out to look out. He saw that the dragon and tiger list had been put up, some for himself to see, and some for others to see , and I don’t know how to read, and I’m caught in it as a thief, laughing, crying, crazy, and noisy, all in a mess.

After more than a quarter of an hour of uproar, the people who announced the good news left first, and then there was a silence, and after a while, many of the spectators dispersed, so Shi Yuan's ears stopped ringing.

The street was still full of traffic, and people who read the ranking kept squeezing in. Among the students, Shi Yuan saw Qi Chang.

Qi Chang changed into a brand new shirt, because of his hunched back, he couldn't always wear it without ironing it, and there were many wrinkles for no reason.

He hadn't looked at the rankings before, but when he looked at it from the left, it was No.6 at the beginning. He quickly moved to the right, but when he saw it, it was Jie Yuan, and he was even more confused.

After finally finding the bottom of the list next to the big characters of the top five, he started looking for his name from the last.

Finally, he found his name at No.40.

"No. 40, Qi Chang, from Kuanzhou."

His stooped back straightened up silently, his face was full of joy and pride, his heart almost exploded with joy, but no one told him, he could only jump high on the spot, and then pressed his hands tightly. own heart.

This kind of joy that no one celebrates will soon become silent, and he will do his best to keep this moment.

At this moment, someone suddenly bumped his shoulder hard, knocking him forward and staggering, almost falling on the soldiers guarding the dragon and tiger list.

Before he could stand still, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him: "Qi Chang, you've developed a lot, don't forget about us!"

He turned his head and saw five or six hooligans surrounding him.
