Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 2694

Perhaps after many years, ten years, or 20 years, when Chi Ganping, who lives temporarily under the same roof, or suddenly recalls the time when he took the exam, different feelings may emerge in his heart. Either gratified, or regretful, or regretful, or it may still be complaining, or even resentment.

Obviously they experienced the same thing, were in the same place, and spent the same period of time together, but what exactly determines that they will have differences in the future and have different emotions?

This may be an exam that determines their future destiny, and they will take a completely different path from now on. For the current Zhiganping people, it feels more like nervousness and hope with a slightly dazed feeling.

Exams are approaching.

No one chatted for almost a day, and they all packed their things silently. They went to bed early as soon as it got dark. When the ugly time passed, people woke up one after another, and then more people woke up, chaotically. After washing up, he packed up his belongings again, absentmindedly ate a simple breakfast, and then lined up and boarded the carriage at the entrance of the camp to the examination room.

Chi Ganping was a little annoyed, because the unlucky boy seemed to think that Chi Ganping had helped him out and solved the problem, and since then, he has been sticking to him.

"Brother Chigan, is the examination room very big? 』

"It should be big. 』

"Can I sit with Big Brother at that time? 』

"I do not know. 』

"There are so many people, how can I find the eldest brother?" 』

"It's okay, let's see the arrangement of the examination room. 』

"But I'm a little scared, what should I do if I'm still nervous? 』

"Ha ha……"

"By the way, Big Brother Chigan, your surname is so strange..."

"Um... yes, yes..."

It's not that Qiao Ganping is particularly patient, but that Qiao Ganping is unwilling to care about this matter, so he barely maintains a polite but embarrassing smile, and responds as gently as possible.

He is a middle-aged man, and life has worn away his temper and edges a lot, making him reflect the gentleness and mellowness that young people often lack, or it is called sophistication and mellowness.

Some hot-blooded teenagers often hate the so-called "sophisticated" and "smooth". Ordinary middle-aged people sneer at the so-called theories such as "one more thing is worse than one less thing" when going out, "a loss is a blessing" and other theories, mocking such behavior is simply weakness and connivance of crime...

In fact, middle-aged people also have juveniles, and young people have not yet middle-aged.

The surname of Qiao Ganping was originally the surname of the nobles among the Huns.Like most of the early Han people, the untouchables did not deserve any surnames, most of them were called by occupation or tribe, and then slowly evolved into surnames with titles such as fiefs, titles and so on.

Chi Ganping was once proud of sticking to his surname, because it represented the glory of his ancestors.

But now Chi Ganping seemed to feel that the glory of his ancestors belonged to his ancestors, no matter how much he said, it still belonged to his ancestors, and if he wanted to truly gain glory, he had to belong to himself.

One's own glory must be obtained by oneself.

On the surface, it really seems that the people who are the same are at a disadvantage. Being the so-called "Virgin Mother" not only pays the unfortunate child, but is also glued by the unfortunate child as a savior...

But in practice?

In the past two days, at least people who are squatters can get a relatively quiet and peaceful environment, have a good rest, and meet the exam with a relatively complete mental state.

What else?
Ask the patrol to throw the unlucky child away, or complain that the unlucky child disturbed other people's rest?
It doesn't matter whether Dahan's inspections have the so-called spirit of serving "God" in later generations, and why should the inspections listen to the command of Qiao Ganping? Even if the inspections are willing to listen, where can the inspections move the child?
The camp is full of people, who should the unlucky child squeeze with?

Or is it that as long as people who are equal to each other are at peace, they don't care what other people are like?

So for Chi Ganping, what he chooses is not to live a happy life, but to bear the humiliation, not to make a show, but to work silently, not to walk away after a disagreement, but to swallow his anger and stand firm.Although unlucky children are annoying, the most important thing now is to pass the exam first.

Everything else can be temporarily compromised for the sake of this important goal.

It's like all the roads in Chang'an today are made for the exam. There are soldiers on duty in the early morning. Before the exam starts, only candidates are allowed to pass by cars and horses. Get off at a fixed location.

When they arrived at the examination room, the sky was already getting brighter.

"get off!Be quick! 』

The officials and soldiers in charge of guidance commanded from the side.

The carriage had to go back again to pick up the next batch of people.

Chi Ganping squeezed his test bag, got out of the car, looked at the crowd of people, he couldn't help feeling a little uneasy, would he take the test with so many people?
Are there any masters here, the kind that you can't beat at all?

in case……

Chi Ganping grabbed the cloth bag in his hand.

This cloth bag was sewn by his wife using the latest cloth at home after he passed the first test...

The cloth was originally intended to be kept for the New Year to make new clothes for the children.

The child used to be the future hope of Chi Qianping's family, but now the hope is in his hands.

In the hand he used to hold the pickaxe and wooden shovel.

There are people around him who are just holding cloth bags, and some are carrying an ordinary test basket. Of course, there are some people who look like noble sons. They swing golden folding fans and let the book boy behind him carry the test box. .

Hey, there are really many people buying such an expensive thing...

"Brother, brother, why isn't the examination room open yet?There are so many people here! 』

"It's not time yet. Chi Ganping said softly, "The door will not be opened until Maoshi..."

"queue! ’A clerk came with soldiers, ‘According to the states and counties on the sign, line up!Which state are you from?Line up by state!Do you understand? 』

"Look for your state and county to line up!" Chi Ganping said to the unlucky child, and then watched the unlucky child reluctantly leave. For some reason, he suddenly felt a burst of relief, as if he felt clean and refreshed after the New Year's cleaning.

More and more people are waiting.

The three assistants in Chang'an had the largest number of people, but among the three assistants, Zuo Fengyi had more people than You Fufeng, and the queue could not stand in one row, and was divided into three rows.As for Hedong County, Chi Ganping looked around, and found that there were only a dozen of them, less than a third of You Fufeng, who had a smaller number among the three assistants.

Moreover, the people of Chang'an Sanfu all lived in the left area, so they came later, and they arrived one after another until Mao was approaching.

Everyone waited nervously.

From time to time, civil officials and soldiers shouted to maintain order, and the weapons and armor reminded everyone that this is not a place for joking, this is a battlefield for literati.

As soon as Maoshi arrived, there was the sound of drums. Afterwards, the door of the examination room slowly opened, and finally saw the situation in the examination room. All the candidates couldn't help holding their breath, and they were somewhat nervous...

No matter who it is, when seeing those neatly arranged tables and cases, there is a feeling of being shocked.

"Stay in line, call the people from that county and county to step forward!" ’ shouted the soldiers patrolling the field, ‘Repeat!Call that county, only the people from that county can come forward!Don't be crowded!Stay in the queue! 』

Hao Ganping took a deep breath.

At the same time, ten passages were opened, and candidates began to line up for inspection and admission under the requirements and specifications of inspections and soldiers.

"Stop!Show your ID!Verify your identity! 』

The inspector stopped Qiao Ganping, then took the identification certificate of Qiao Ganping, looked up and down, and was stunned for a moment, "Uh... what surname is this? 』

Gu Ganping reluctantly repeated his name, "This is... it means snow, it means snow..."

"Oh oh, so the surname is Xue and it will be over soon?" The soldier muttered, "Go forward!"The mouth of the cloth bag is opened, accept inspection! 』

For some reason, Chi Ganping suddenly felt that he could consider changing his surname?The last name is "Snow", or something else...

He has come to take the exam for the Han people, and still uses the surname of a Xiongnu?

But before his sudden idea took shape, Qiao Ganping was disturbed by other matters, and soon after, he took the seat number plate that was randomly arranged, took a breath, and cleared his mind, He walked into the exam room with his head held high, ready to take part in this exam that might decide his future destiny.

Around Chi Ganping, gradually filled with examinees with almost the same serious and earnest expressions as Chi Ganping, sitting devoutly and quietly, as if waiting for the arrival of new students.

The drum sounded again, Santong urged the drum to beat, the examination room was closed, and the examination officially began.

Chi Ganping finished grinding the ink, watched the exam papers in his hands, and after scanning the questions, let out a long breath, he was quite familiar with them.

This stabilized his mood. He put his hands together, rubbed them together, then picked up the pen and started to answer the questions...

The time for the exam passed quickly, and it seemed that the exam was over in a blink of an eye.

When Chi Ganping finally walked out of the examination room, he looked up and felt as if he had been sucked dry by some kind of creature, almost feeling exhausted.

And in his memory, it seems that the concept of three days is missing unknowingly, just like he walked into the examination room one moment, and then he walked out the next moment, and what happened in the examination room, in the moment unexpectedly Some blurred up...

"Brother!Brother, how did you do in the exam? 』

A familiar voice came over, and Hao Ganping couldn't help shivering.

"I...I don't know..." Chi Ganping exhaled, looking at the unlucky boy who came out of nowhere, "What about you?How are you doing? 』

The unlucky child had a slumped face, "I don't know..."

"..." Quan Ganping was silent for a while, "Let's go, go back to Confucius and Mencius first..."

On the way back, the unlucky child seemed to have no energy, and he didn't continue to grow up. At the same time, most of the other people were silent and didn't talk much.

In the camp, most of them were dull, only a small number of people were playing around, and then loudly talked about where this topic came from, where it was used, and how it was extended...

The days of waiting for the release of the rankings are very difficult. I feel like my heart is burning, I don’t like eating anything, and I can’t sleep.Count the days on your fingers, the days that usually pass by like a horse, are like an old horse with a broken leg, slowing down and dragging people to death.

In the Confucius and Mencius Shop, there were also many people who wanted to play in Chang'an City, but more people packed their bags silently and went back to their hometown after the exam, and they didn't even have the idea of ​​waiting for the announcement.

That unlucky kid was one of those who went straight home...

I don't know if it's because the unlucky child felt that he really had no hope, or because he thought that Chi Qianping was a fake big brother after all, and the parents at home were the real parents, or it was some other reason, anyway, the leaving of the unlucky child made Chi Ganping On the contrary, Ping felt a little cleaner, and felt that he could live in Confucius and Mencius Yipu.

Xiu Ganping's original plan was to go back directly, but after thinking for a while, he stayed in the Confucius and Mencius Yipu temporarily. On the one hand, the accommodation fee in the Confucius and Mencius Yipu was free before the list was released, but it only cost money for food. It was just money. The money he brought with him was still enough. On the other hand, it was a torment to go home, and it was inevitable that this person would come to inquire, or that person would come to inquire about it when he returned home.

Of course, if the unfortunate child still lived with him, he wouldn't be able to keep it.

At first, Chi Ganping felt anxious and suffered from insomnia, but soon, Chi Ganping found a job for himself. Does he want to change his surname?
As for the so-called "do not change the name, do not change the surname", in fact, it did not appear in the literature of drama novels until after the Yuan Dynasty...

Note that it appears in opera literature and novels, not in upper-class noble families.

In the feudal dynasty, for certain things, changing the name is like drinking water. Changing the name and changing the surname is really not a big deal, and it will not be cited as a taboo.

Otherwise, in Bangzi or Wozi, it would not be popular to change the surname when entering a surname, and those surnames who changed their surname would even feel that they have successfully promoted their ranks, which is very honorable.

Chi Ganping didn't want to marry a certain surname, after all, he had been married for many years, but it was just because he felt that it was a bit inconvenient right now.

When he was at home, it didn't matter what his name was. A cat, a dog, Sanlang Shisanlang were all right, and in the counties and townships, most people called him home row, and most people would call him Sanlang when they met. So he didn't feel anything at all.

But after he came out of Hedong, he began to find that his name was a little troublesome. Leaving aside other things, almost everyone he met would hesitate for a while, then look at the name, then look at him, and then confirm...

Some people think it's a good thing to be noticed, but Qiao Ganping doesn't like to attract too much attention, so every time he encounters this, he feels a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

Or the surname "Xue", anyway, "Chigan" in the Xiongnu language also means snow, or snowing.

Chi Ganping pondered, do Han people have a surname Xue?

It seems to have?
Chi Ganping thought about this, and it was to relieve the anxiety in his heart, and to kill time, and finally came the day of the announcement.

Gu Ganping originally wanted to watch the announcement by himself, but he was really hesitant in his heart. He got up several times and wanted to go, and then sat down again...

The more you pay attention to this matter, the more you worry about gains and losses.

Before the list was released, Chi Ganping was looking forward to the release of the list, but when the day came when the list was released, he felt that if he went to watch the list on the spot, he would know the ranking immediately. Waiting here seems to be able to prolong the life and death of the exam for a little bit...

The sky was getting darker, and Chi Ganping was flipping through the scroll with a little restlessness, but after reading it for a long time, he couldn't read a single word.Finally, he gritted his teeth and stood up, and when he was about to go to the city to read the rankings, Chi Qianping heard some movement outside the camp, and after a while, candidates from the camp rushed to him, opening his mouth and saying "Congratulations" !
Gu Ganping's heart moved, blood gushed to his face, and he was speechless for a while, and he felt dizzy as if he had been hit directly on the head by this "Congratulations"!
More and more people gathered here, with similar smiles on their faces, but not necessarily the same color in their eyes.

"I have already said, brother can win! 』

"Congratulations!Congratulations!Brother Gan!Congrats on high school! 』

"Brother Chigan really has the style of a general, calm and restrained! 』

"Congratulations brother! 』

"Don't forget about wealth and wealth! 』

"That's right, in the future I will wait for my brother to support me a little bit, and it's not a loss to have such a friendship now!" 』

"Brother Tai looks like a magnanimous person at first glance, and if you think about it, you will definitely become a great success!" 』

"congratulations……"

Chi Ganping smiled and responded humbly. He was actually a little flustered, but on the surface he looked about the same as usual.Just when he didn't know how to respond, someone came to report that another person in the camp had been elected. Immediately, the people around Chi Ganping went forward one after another, and congratulatory voices were heard endlessly.

The noise around him subsided, and it was only then that Qian Ganping felt a little dizzy.

It wasn't until the other selected person came to him that Chi Ganping calmed down a little, and then inexplicably felt that that person was kind, like a strange friend. Although it was the first time we met, there was an extra tacit understanding sense.

"My younger brother is from Longkang. His surname is Huan, his name is Hao, and his style name is Zihao. Dare I ask you about my brother's name, Gao?" 』

Chi Ganping opened his mouth and suddenly wanted to say his name, but suddenly changed his mouth and said: "My surname is Xue...my name is Ping, my character is Chunzhi, I live in Fenyin..."

"Xue?But "Xue Shaqing"? ’Huan Hao nodded, ‘Fenyin Xue’s, my brother remembers that.Brother Xue, please take care of me from now on...』

Chi Ganping was stunned for a moment, then acquiesced, and returned the gift to Huan Hao.

Fenyin Xue family, well, it seems to sound good too.
