Chapter 427
427 Revealing the rank-2
When she indulged in novels, she would imagine a handsome, capable, and interesting ” guard “-type character.
Lin ‘an would find out,”ah, isn’t my dog slave this kind of person? it turns out that the one in love is right beside me.”
This was very likely. Those rich young ladies who were raised in the boudoir were obsessed with the stories of talented men and beautiful women, and they dreamed of having a future husband just like the one in the stories … Wasn’t that the best example?
As for huaiqing, she was a tough nut to crack. She was smart, calm, and opinionated. It was difficult to guide such a woman.
Xu Qi ‘an even suspected that she didn’t read cliché novels. Of course, there was no absolute. Huaiqing was a Princess with the personality of an overbearing female CEO. In this world where men were superior to women, it was almost impossible to read a novel like ” the overbearing Empress falls in love with me.
Xu Qi ‘an believed that this would definitely arouse Princess huaiqing’s desire to read.
………
After dusk, at the dining table.
Xu Erlang found his brother very strange. He always stared at him without saying a word. His eyes were focused and meaningful, as if he was looking at a treasure.
“Big brother, why do you keep staring at me?” Xu Erlang couldn’t take it anymore and said in a deep voice.
“I’ve recently fallen in love with Danqing, and I want to copy Erlang.” Xu Qi ‘an explained casually, still staring at Xu Erlang.
So that’s how it is … Xu Erlang raised his chin slightly and nodded, “”If big brother can draw 10 – 20% of my handsomeness, you’ll be considered to have entered the rudiment.”
Second uncle Xu couldn’t take it anymore. He tapped his fingers on the table and changed the topic.”Yesterday, I heard that you killed a rank-6 martial artist with one slash?”
“He’s just a nobody,” Xu Qi ‘an said reservedly.
……. Second uncle Xu looked at his son and then at his nephew. He thought to himself, ” this kind of self-conceited and arrogant atmosphere is not a tradition of my Xu family.
“The results will be released tomorrow, right?” Her aunt looked at Erlang.
“Yes.” Xu Erlang nodded.
“The new year must be Huiyuan.” His aunt happily picked up some food for her son.
Second uncle Xu looked at his plump and beautiful wife and came to a sudden realization. He thought to himself that it was all this woman’s fault for leading the family astray.
“When the apricot ranking is out, we’ll go and watch it together as a family,” Xu Qi ‘an said.
Hearing the words “apricot ranking,” Xu lingying immediately looked up.
“It’s not for eating.” Xu lingyue patted her head.
Xu Ling lowered his head and continued eating.
After dinner, Xu Qi ‘an washed up. He removed the cork of a porcelain bottle and washed his face with clean water. After soaking his face for the time it took to make a cup of tea, his skin began to heat up, and his facial features showed signs of ” melting.
He immediately went to the bronze mirror and tried to change his facial features by circulating the half-cooked Qi circulation technique.
make your lips a little thinner, and your nose a little narrower … His facial bones were about to contract … The shape of the eyes should be rounder …”
15 minutes later, the fake Xu Erlang appeared. To be more precise, he was Xu Erlang’s long-lost brother.
“Almost fifty percent.” Xu Qi ‘an looked at the bronze mirror in self-pity.
If I were to look like this and call Auntie ‘mom’, the whole family would probably believe me … No, no, no, put away this dangerous thought. It wouldn’t be good if second uncle and aunt wanted. divorce … As he thought about it, Xu Qi ‘an’s lips curled up, and many coquettish operations flashed through his mind.
Of course, in the future, he would disguise himself as Erlang and go to The Earth Book chat group to have a chat. This would be very interesting.
It wasn’t because he was afraid of social death. He just found it interesting.
“Life is so boring, you should know how to find your own fun … It’s been a long time since I’ve gone to a brothel to listen to music.”
……….
The spring ranking was also known as the apricot ranking, because this was the flowering period of apricot flowers.
27th of February, the sky was just starting to brighten.
There was no curfew tonight. The city gates were wide open, and the soldiers patrolled back and forth on the streets. Almost all the gongs of the night watchmen were out.
Countless scholars swarmed into the inner city and gathered at the entrance of the examination hall, waiting for the results to be released.
This year’s spring roll was particularly lively. Not only were there thousands of eager scholars, but they also caught up with the Taoist sect’s battle between heaven and man. A large number of Jianghu people swarmed into the city.
There was one major characteristic of the people of Jianghu:Melon eater!
They would go wherever there was a commotion.
This created a huge pressure on the security of the capital’s five guards, government offices, and night watchmen.
In the end, Xu Pingzhi couldn’t watch the apricot roll with his son, because the area he was in charge of was a little far from the examination hall. For the same reason, Xu Qi ‘an was also in charge of the security of another area.
The people of the martial world were mixed with the good and the bad. If there were spies or anti-social people, the students would be in danger.
His aunt, lingyue, and Lingling also wanted to join in the fun, so second uncle had to arrange for the retinue and guards in the mansion. Xu Qi ‘an thought that the area he patrolled was not far from the tribute courtyard, so he could take care of it at any time.
It was not a big problem.
“In the past, the release of the results of the spring examination has always been this lively. The Imperial court has been nurturing its soldiers for many years, and it’s about to happen today.”
The middle-aged swordsman led young master Liu and the other juniors through the congested streets. He spoke with confidence, “”When I was travelling around the capital, I was lucky enough to see this scene during the spring hunt.
“At that time, Huiyuan seemed to be called Chu Yuanyou, and later he became the top scorer. On this trip to the capital, he had asked around and found out that the scholar had resigned.
“Sigh, time flies. Ten years have passed.”
“Oh, you quit your position?” Rongrong, the hand of ecstasy, asked curiously,
“Why is that? I heard that the top rankers can enter the Hanlin Academy and become the Prime Minister. Why give up on such a great future?”
The middle-aged swordsman shook his head.
There was almost no road ahead. There were scholars in Confucian robes and some Jianghu people everywhere.
The soldiers struggled to maintain order and shouted loudly.
