Chapter 708 Yuelu F3 Combines
Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang were shocked when they saw Zhu Pengyun.
It's only been three years since we last met, why does Zhu Pengyun look so different? What did he do?
Zhu Pengyun not only grew taller but also stronger. His eyes were as big as those of a cow and he had a big beard. He no longer looked rough.
From a distance, he has no scholarly temperament at all, and from close up, he has even less scholarly temperament. Instead, he looks like a pig butcher. No wonder his ancestors were butchers. What is the image of Zhu Pengyun? Hahaha Zhu Pengyun was very happy to see Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang, and hugged them with a bear hug.
Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang struggled desperately but couldn't get free.
I had to wait until he had hugged me enough before I could let go.
Qian Yingyang tried hard to open his eyes and asked, "Pengyun, where have you been? Why didn't you reply to our letter?"
Qian Yingyang had written a letter, and Sun Shan had also written a letter, but neither received a reply.
Zhu Pengyun shook his big head and said in a very rough voice: "I didn't receive it. By the way, did you receive my letter?"
Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang looked at each other and shook their heads.
It seems that communication is really inconvenient. It’s not that people want to lose connection, but the irresistible factors of geography make it impossible not to lose connection.
Zhu Pengyun asked again: "Are you here to take part in the imperial examination as well? That's great, we all passed the exam, hahahaha."
Qian Yingyang's face fell, and he said listlessly: "Pengyun, Ashan passed the exam, you passed the exam, but I didn't. I...I want to cry."
Qian Yingyang really wanted to ask Qian Wu to buy a piece of tender tofu and bump it against his head. He was really sad.
Sun Shan came to take part in the imperial examination, Zhu Pengyun came to take part in the imperial examination, and he was about to graduate and return to his hometown.
How could the fate be so different? Qian Yingyang sighed.
When Zhu Pengyun found out that Qian Yingyang was ranked second on the list, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
He patted Qian Yingyang's fat body and said, "Yingyang, it's time and fate. We have to accept our fate."
He looked at Sun Shan again and said with a sigh, "Ashan, luck is such a thing that is hard to say."
Sun Shan also thought so. He crossed the finish line. Although he was the last one, he had just crossed the finish line. His status was completely different.
Sometimes I really don’t know how to describe this feeling.
All I can say is: Everything is determined by fate and has no control over us.
Zhu Pengyun told Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang what happened after he returned home from Yuelu Academy.
After returning, Zhu Pengyun failed the provincial examination for the first time.
Qian Yingyang widened his eyes and looked at him anxiously: "Pengyun, you failed the exam? Oh, I didn't expect that I did better than you for the first time. Tsk tsk, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it."
Zhu Pengyun nodded and said, "I didn't make it to either the main list or the secondary list the first time. I was really sad at that time. After that, I don't know where my grandfather found a teacher, but he asked me to leave my hometown and study in the place where he worked. I have not been in Fujian for many years."
Sun Shan understood that even if he wrote a letter to Zhu Pengyun, he would not be able to receive it. He was no longer in his hometown, and even if he received the letter, it would inevitably be lost.
Zhu Pengyun continued, "This was the second time I took the entrance exam this year. If the number of admissions was as small as usual, I would definitely not have made the list. Thank God, the emperor increased the number of places, and haha, I made the list. My grandfather and teacher even said that I was lucky and caught a good opportunity."
Qian Yingyang looked at him with envy and jealousy. Zhu Pengyun was really lucky. The number of admission places increased and he got one.
Qian Yingyang wondered if he was not on the secondary list but was "sent to prison for the second time", would he be able to be on the list like Zhu Pengyun?
Whenever he thought of this, Qian Yingyang wanted to cry again.
Why didn't he have such luck? Why did he choose to study at the Imperial Academy? Why did he just succumb to fate?
Sun Shan patted Qian Yingyang on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "Yingyang, don't think too much. Although the number of admissions has increased, the number of people entering has also increased, and the competition has become more intense. Even if you take the exam, you may not have Pengyun's strength to make the list. Yingyang, the past is the past, let's focus on the future."
Qian Yingyang rolled his eyes at Sun Shan and didn't want to talk to him.
Said: "Pengyun, you are so lucky, I am so envious."
Zhu Pengyun nodded and said in agreement: "Yingyang, my luck is indeed good. I ranked second to last in the exam this time and almost didn't make the list. Thanks to the increase in admission quotas and the blessing of Mazu, I was able to make the list successfully."
When Sun Shan and Qian Yingyang heard that they had ranked second to last in the exam, their eyes almost popped out.
In Yuelu Academy, Zhu Pengyun was consistently ranked second to last. Unexpectedly, he would also be ranked second to last in the provincial examination.
This is such a coincidence, so coincidental that I can’t believe it.
Qian Yingyang said with a sad face: "Ashan, if I take the exam, will I be the last one to pass the exam?"
He looked at Sun Shan expectantly, hoping that he would answer yes.
Sun Shan shook his head coldly and heartlessly: "No, because I already ranked last in the exam. Yingyang, you have no chance."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Yingyang's big fat hand turned into a big iron hammer and beat Sun Shan.
Sun Shan jumped up and down, covered his head and ran away, begging for mercy again and again.
Zhu Pengyun laughed wildly: "Yingyang, don't get angry. Now that things have come to this, you have no choice but to accept your fate."
After beating Sun Shan, Qian Yingyang hit Zhu Pengyun.
It’s a pity that Zhu Pengyun is over 1.8 meters tall and strong, so Qian Yingyang’s hammer can’t cause any pain to him.
Sun Shan took a sip of tea, warmed himself up and asked, "Pengyun, why are you in the capital so late at night? Are there a lot of boats on the road?"
Sun Shan guessed that Zhu Pengyun, like He's cousin, was unable to come to Beijing quickly due to weather reasons.
Zhu Pengyun said distressedly: "Oh, this journey is really tiring. When we reached Zhigu, we couldn't take the boat, so we had to get off the boat and take a car. While we were sitting there, the car overturned. We stayed on the road for many days. Fortunately, I am strong and agile. I rolled away immediately after the overturned car and avoided injury. My companion who came with me was miserable. He also broke his leg. I don't know if he can enter the venue in February next year."
He broke his leg and limped. When he went to register, he was afraid that he would be seen as disabled and be barred from entering the imperial examination.
Sun Shan didn't expect Zhu Pengyun to be in danger, but fortunately he survived. He patted his chest and said thankfully, "I knew that many people would go to Beijing to take the exam this year, and the road would be difficult to travel. I didn't expect there would be so many people. Fortunately, I went to Beijing in advance. Although there was a traffic jam, it didn't snow and the river didn't freeze. Fortunately, fortunately."
The three of them talked about their own situations.
After Zhu Pengyun married his childhood sweetheart, he quickly gave birth to a son and is now a father.
Qian Yingyang's wife also gave birth to a son and was waiting for him to return home.
Zhu Pengyun and Qian Yingyang laughed and joked when they learned that Sun Shan was also married.
Zhu Pengyun smiled and said, "Ashan, why don't we become in-laws?"
Qian Yingyang immediately jumped out and said, "No, I want to be Ashan's relative."
Sun Shan looked at them speechlessly and said, "I don't even have a daughter yet."
Even if I have a daughter, I won't marry her to them.
It’s simple. It’s just that since their father looks like this, their sons won’t be much better looking either.
Sun Shan refused to arrange a marriage for his son, saying that his son was not worthy of his precious daughter.
