Chapter 130 129 The joys and sorrows of life are different

You two are such traitors to your teacher and ancestors, you even dare to snatch the position where she is standing. I would be letting myself down if I don't let you be a kite for once.

"Cousin, I was wrong. Is it okay if I am wrong?"

Liu Boxing, who realized it later, also begged for mercy: "Little...Little Headmaster, I was wrong too."

An Xin lowered his head and glanced at them: "What are you yelling about? Isn't it better to look at the list from this position?"

An Rui looked at the list posted on the south wall of the Ministry of Rites far away. Although the handwriting could be vaguely seen, the people below were busy looking at the list and no one paid attention to them.

But when they turned around, they met the gazes of Xiao Wenjin and others from next door who were stretching their heads to look at them. The two of them looked back with gentle and pitiful eyes at An Xin.

They knew that they had gone too far each time in the past. As long as they truly recognized their mistakes and acted pitiful, An Xin would let them go soon.

This time they did not disappoint.

An Xin also knew that he couldn't embarrass them in public, so he reached out and easily lifted the two of them up and threw them onto the chair at the back.

Han Junbo, who saw An Xin's great strength for the first time, was so surprised that his mouth remained open for a long time.

A wall over ten feet high was built on the south side of the Ministry of Rites to post the examination lists. The wall was crowded with people. An official from the Ministry of Rites was seen holding the list in his hand and accompanied by runners as he walked over to post it on the wall.

“Ahhh, the results are out, the results are out.”

With this sound, people crowded even more crazily.

"Ahhh, rush in, I want to see if I hit it."

"Don't push, don't push..."

"My clothes are about to be ripped."

There was confusion.

Fortunately, the area three meters in front of the wall where the list was posted was surrounded by railings, and the officers guarding the list did not allow anyone to cross over.

Da Zhuang, who was strong and healthy, had already squeezed to the front row with a few servants. However, in order to prevent others from squeezing in front of them, their clothes were torn into wrinkles.

The hair was loosened and a few strands fell down, and one of the skinny servants had one of his shoes stepped on and fell off.

After the people in front had read the list, they saw that they, their relatives or their masters were on the list, and they were so excited that they tried their best to squeeze through the crowd and rush back to report the good news.

There were also candidates who looked at the list several times and saw that their names were not on the list and burst into tears.

There were also candidates whose names were not on the list and who frantically tried to jump over the railings to tear up the list. However, they were called by experienced officers who had seen many crazy behaviors of failed candidates and were escorted away by other yamen runners who were waiting nearby.

For a moment, some were happy, some were sad, and some were crazy.

It really is true that the sorrows and joys in the world are not the same.

On Da Zhuang's side, suddenly a servant among the group shouted excitedly: "It's a win, it's a win, my young master won."

Then, regardless of anything else, he squeezed out against the crowd.

Then another voice said, "My son also won."

The servants brought by Li Ziyu and his companions this time all knew some words, but before An Xin came here, Da Zhuang was just a servant.

Although he worked in the academy, he didn't know many words because he was an honest person and didn't usually go where the students studied.

At least he couldn't recognize all the names of several young masters. Da Zhuang scratched the back of his head in annoyance. If he had known earlier, he should have let Xiaomai come.

Although he was not strong enough and might not be able to squeeze in, he was given to Young Master An by the Second Master. At least he could read and recognize the names of several young masters and knew whether any of them were on the list and passed the imperial examination.

On An Xin's side, everyone looked at the servant who pushed the door in a disheveled state and was so excited that he couldn't even speak complete sentences.

Han Junbo was thoughtful enough to give him a cup of tea.

After the Liu family's servant finished drinking, he said loudly: "Old Master, the... young master passed the exam."

General Liu stared blankly at his servant, his eyes somewhat empty and dazed.

An Xin secretly cried out in dismay, how could he have forgotten that old people cannot be too happy or too sad.

He hurried over and pinched General Liu's philtrum, then turned around and called out to the equally dazed Liu Boxing, "Why are you still standing there? Come here! Pat your grandfather on the back."

Others also rushed over to help.

"Cough cough cough" a mouthful of phlegm came out.

General Liu slowly took a breath, tears welling up in his old eyes, and he held An Xin's hand tightly.

His voice was hoarse and hazy: "Since my son and his wife passed away, there has been no adult heir in the family to take over the family, so I returned to my hometown in Lin'an County with my young grandson.

Watching Xing'er grow up, he is good at martial arts, but seems a little slow in studying.

But swords on the battlefield are merciless, and my only son has died on the battlefield. I will never let my only grandson follow this path.

I originally thought that my Liu family would be doomed, but I didn't expect that Xing'er would meet a headmaster like you who is so knowledgeable and has a profound background. This changed his fate and saved my Liu family."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

As General Liu said this, he was about to stand up and kneel down to An Xin to express his gratitude to her.

How could An Xin accept such a kneeling ceremony from General Liu? He hurriedly stopped him, "General Liu, if you do this, you will embarrass the younger generation."

General Liu looked at An Xin and saw her determined look, so he nodded and said, "I will remember your kindness to the Liu family.

Xing'er came here to thank your grandfather for his kindness to the headmaster of your family."

Liu Boxing had just recovered from the blow of passing the imperial examination when he heard his grandfather's instructions. He walked over and knelt in front of An Xin with a plop.

"Why are you bowing? Just try not to make me angry together with An Rui in the future." Before Liu Boxing bowed, An Xin put his index finger against his forehead and said.

An Rui just giggled foolishly beside him and got away with it.

Help Liu Boxing up.

An Xin curled her lips and smiled slightly, already having an idea in her mind.

No one knows better than her as a teacher that Liu Boxing is the weakest among the six people, yet even he passed the exam~ An Xin glanced at the other people, but smiled without saying anything. If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid all six of them will be on the list this time.

Now it’s a question of ranking.

As expected.

Not long after, An Rui and Jiang Zhou also passed the exam with above-average rankings.

There were continuous sounds of surprise from their side, and even the teahouse owner came up personally to say a bunch of festive words, and all the bills spent there today were waived.

But the people next door seemed to be cursed, and no one had received any good news so far. Even Xiao Wenjin, who was usually calm, looked a little gloomy.

Tao Fei, who was impatient, cursed continuously.

Wen Changyi stared at the door of the private room, hoping that the servant he sent to check the list would push the door open and come in excitedly to tell him the good news.

Liu Mingjie, Gao Zhihui and Ge Guangyuan were very anxious. The other people in the room were all children of officials, and the three of them could not compare with them.

In addition to Liu Mingjie, Gao Zhihui and Ge Guangyuan also have brothers who are studying although their families are well-off.

Every time one went to the capital to take the imperial examination, the amount of money spent was not a small sum for a wealthy family.

This was not the first time for both of them to come to Beijing to take the exam. They had already taken the exam once three years ago. If they failed again this time.

The family may focus on the grown-up brothers. How can Gao Zhihui and Ge Guangyuan not be anxious?
