Chapter 57 fourth quarter

The day when the Ministry of Rites tried to publish the list, it happened to be the same day that the good news of Wang Shaohongqi's success, Zaike Ma Erjian, and his wife and children being escorted to the capital arrived in Beijing. Baishuitan College shocked the world again on that day: out of 50 college students, 43 were selected!Although the palace examination has not yet been held, it has been more than ten years in this dynasty that the palace examination has not dethroned the "provincial candidates", at most there have been fluctuations in rankings.However, amidst the celebrations at Baishuitan College, there were inevitably many frustrated people.Among them, the most depressed one is Duan Zijie.He felt that in a few policy discussions, the articles were colorful and colorful, and the answers to the classics and righteousness were also quite subtle. The worst thing was that he was born as a Jinshi. How could it be possible to lose his name?Duan Zijie, who always seems to be in a white robe, walks out of the white water pool silently, unwilling to let his emotions hinder the celebration of others.

It was already February in the sixth year of Xining, when the spring was cold, the cold wind blew on the face and body like a knife, and penetrated into the neck.After leaving Baishuitan, Duan Zijie walked along the famous cement road of Baishuitan towards Nanxun Gate.There are still many pedestrians on the road, but it has nothing to do with his jokes, and he doesn't know how long he has been walking in this cold wind. In a daze, he heard someone say to him: "Guest officer, it's freezing outside. Yes, come in and have a drink to warm yourself up." Duan Zijie, who was devastated, just walked in, ordered a pot of wine, poured himself, and drank the wine.Alcohol has never been in the heart, and it will break the heart.Duan Zijie remembered that he went to Beijing alone, determined to succeed in his studies, serve the king, and do a vigorous career.I have been in Baishuitan College for more than two years, and I have made friends with famous teachers all day long. I also feel that my knowledge is advancing by leaps and bounds. Worried, I came all the way to the capital, paid homage before returning home, only hoped that I could be named on the gold list, honor my ancestors, and go back early to marry my fiancée who has been engaged to me since I was a child. feeling.

When he was drowsing his sorrows with wine and drunk, he suddenly heard the sound of a piano, and a young man sang to the sound of the piano: "On the gold list, I have lost the leading role. What is the future of the temporary sages of the Ming Dynasty? What happened? Let's not fight wildly. Why bother to talk about gain and loss. Talented poets are naturally white clothes..." It was Liu Qi's "Crane Soaring to the Sky". Duanzi cares about things. Duan Zijie heard this voice coming from an elegant seat, so he was not afraid to be presumptuous at this time, so he went straight in, but saw a man and a woman sitting in the elegant seat, the woman played the piano, and the man sang.The woman is dressed in colorful clothes, obviously she is a kabuki from Goulan, while the man is dressed in a gray robe, with a handsome face, just like the cold stars in the dark night, although he has an air of refusal to be thousands of miles away, but he also has his own capital of pride .At this time, he obviously drank a lot of wine, and he was not sitting very upright anymore, holding chopsticks in one hand, beating to the sound of the piano, and singing loudly.

This man is Wu Anguo Wu Zhenqing, the cousin of Wu Zhuangyuan Kang Datong.Wu Anguo was very proud of himself all his life, thinking that even if he was not a Jinshi, he would be among the top few Jinshi.Although there is still the hope of the palace examination, the emperor may be able to see his talent from hundreds of people and give himself a due evaluation, but this possibility, even as proud as Wu Anguo, knows that it is too low after all.But with Wu Anguo's arrogant temperament, how could he be willing to be a "same Jinshi" opposite to "Mrs. Ru"? Duan Zijie's intrusion shocked both Wu Anguo and the singing girl.Although Duan Zijie is usually impulsive, he is not very good at doing rude things, but at this time he didn't care about it at all. He actually pulled up a chair, sat down on his buttocks, and stared at Wu Anguo up and down.Wu Anguo was inexplicably stared at by him for a while, and was about to yell at him, but Duan Zijie said, "Who are you? Singing Liu Qi's tune here is disturbing!"

Wu Anguo has been said to be unreasonable all his life, but he never expected that there is such an even more unreasonable person as Duan Zijie. He looked at Duan Zijie for a long time, and said coldly, "Who are you? I love to sing, so it's none of your business? " Duan Zijie said proudly: "I am Duan Zijie. If you want to sing a song, go home and sing it. Why do you sing it in a restaurant?" "Duan Zijie?" Wu Anguo thought for a while, and felt that the name was quite familiar. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, and it took him a long time to remember, "You are that Hongzhou Duan Zijie? The Duan Zijie who drew a knife in front of Deng Wan? I am Wu Anguo, you dare to draw your saber in front of Deng Wan, you are quite courageous, and you don't know how martial arts are?"

Duan Zijie didn't expect this person to know his name, so he couldn't help but startled.He also heard Wu Anguo sneer and said: "I am singing a song here, what is it that hinders you? It touched your scar? I have no ability, so don't blame others." If this person's words do not hurt others, he feels that he has done less. thing. Hearing what he said, Duan Zijie became angry from embarrassment, and couldn't help retorting: "You Wu Anguo is here drinking and singing, I'm afraid it won't be much better." Wu Anguo was unhappy in his heart, although he still had his name on the list, he was ashamed to mention it.Standing up and watching Duan Zijie for a while, his gaze finally settled on the scimitar on Duan Zijie's waist, he couldn't help laughing and said: "It's easy for you Duan Zijie to want me not to sing, fight with me, you win me, I'm Naturally listen to you; you can't beat me, you just sit here and listen to your young master's song for a day!" In fact, with Wu Anguo's usually unreasonable temperament, being able to quarrel with Duan Zijie is already an odd number .Wind and dust sorting and proofreading.

When Duan Zijie saw him challenge, how could he back down?What's more, he thinks he is outstanding in martial arts, and the other party sees that he is only a scholar, so even if he knows how to do three-legged cat kung fu, how many times can he withstand his own beatings?Immediately proudly said: "Then it's a deal, how about we fight in the street?" Before Wu Anguo agreed, he brushed his clothes and went downstairs. Wu Anguo sneered: "Where should we choose to fight!" Before he finished speaking, a pair of chopsticks waved away and hit Duan Zijie directly on the back of the head.Hearing the sound of the wind behind him, he quickly dodges, but after drinking some wine, his footwork is not as flexible as usual, and he knocks down a screen with a "boom".

Annoyed at Wu Anguo's surprise attack, he leaped forward, with arms like a sway, and attacked Wu Anguo, using Taizu's Changquan, which was widely circulated among the civilian army at that time.Wu Anguo used to have good body skills, but at this time it was too much, so he had to use a set of Sanshou that is usually practiced in the army to deal with the enemy.Two people who drank a lot, how can they jump to avoid dodge, they can't even walk too steadily, it's just that you punch each other, and the bowls and chopsticks fly in the restaurant, and the body is blue and white.The two changed from Sanda to wrestling, from wrestling to judo, and in the end they hugged into a ball, completely disorganized, rolling around in the restaurant, and for a while, Zijie pressed on Wu Anguo, shouting: "Are you convinced? "At that moment, Wu Anguo turned over on top, pressed Duan Zijie under him, and said with a sneer, "Are you convinced?"

The owner of the restaurant had heard the movement long ago, but he heard that a customer had brought a knife, so how dare he go upstairs?Just as he was about to go out to call for help, he happened to see Tian Liewu, the chief catcher of Kaifeng Mansion, and a young man walking over with a smile while talking. He shouted loudly as if seeing a savior: "Tian catcher, Tian catcher..." All the way Trot, pulled Tian Liewu in, please go upstairs. Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Tian Liewu couldn't help laughing.He didn't know Duan Zijie, but he had met Wu Anguo.It's ridiculous to think that such a cold and arrogant person would fight with such a embarrassed person.He was trying every means to separate the two, but that "young son" Qin Guan had already learned the whole story from the singing girl.Qin Guan wasn't too disappointed about losing his name to Sun Shan. He was mentally prepared to enter Baishuitan College if he failed the exam.Moreover, Shi Yue valued him very much, and he was able to go in and out of the Shifu frequently, asking for advice from the world-famous Shi Yue Shi Ziming from time to time, Qin Guan has long been satisfied.As soon as the daily list came out, Qin Guan, who felt a little uncomfortable, was relaxing on the street. He happened to run into Tian Liewu. The two had met in Shifu a few times, so Tian Liewu asked Qin Guan for some sentences he didn't understand in the military book.Unexpectedly, here I met Duan Zijie and Wu Anguo fighting.

Now that he knew the whole story, Qin Guan smiled and walked in front of Duan Zijie and Wu Anguo, who were separated by Tian Liewu with great effort, and rebuked him righteously: "You two really have little knowledge. The so-called victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. Also the so-called not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself, the actions of the two of them are really insulting to gentlemen..." When Duan Zijie and Wu Anguo heard that this sour scholar was actually talking to them here, they were annoyed and amused, and said "Bah" at the same time, and said, "What's the matter with you? I'm talking nonsense here!"

Qin Guan was originally meant to be teasing, he was not angry, and said with a smile: "Unexpectedly, the two of you have such a tacit understanding. But according to me, the two of you are so good at martial arts, if you can't pass the Wen Jinshi exam, why don't you go for the Wu Jinshi exam?" Do you need to drink and sing and fight?" Duan Zijie and Wu Anguo snorted coldly. At that time, literati were unwilling to engage in martial arts, otherwise Duan Zijie would have wanted to take the martial arts exam a long time ago, but the encounter with Di Qing made people feel cold.Both of them are conceited about their talent and learning, how could they be willing to take the martial arts exam!Even if Kang Datong is like that, what's the use of the champion of martial arts? Qin Guan was just trying to make fun of them, but when he saw their reaction, he felt even more amused in his heart, and said more seriously: "Unexpectedly, you are all vulgar people, and the country is constantly troubled by foreign countries. What is the difference? Why should you care about the opinions of ordinary people? Could it be that Wei Huo's merit is not as good as Gong Sunhong? I don't know martial arts, otherwise I would not be stubborn in civil and martial arts. You have never read Master Shi Mige's works I don’t understand any reason at all. What’s the use of reading more books? I don’t think you need to take the Jinshi exam anymore. It’s better to go home and farm, otherwise, even if you win the Jinshi, you will be useless in the country.” Qin Shaoyou was just arguing quickly, but Tian Liewu was in the middle of the matter, so he couldn't help but nodded in agreement.Duan Zijie and Wu Anguo were speechless, and simply ignored Qin Guan, and objected to Tian Liewu, saying: "Why do you always follow us? We will pay for the broken things, and let us go." Tian Liewu is an old policeman, knowing that both of them are famous, he can't be too embarrassing.Call the boss over immediately, calculate the loss, pay first and then let go. After Duan Zijie and Wu Anguo managed to get out of Tian Liewu's grasp with great difficulty, they glared at each other fiercely and walked away unconvinced.
