The red color hanging in front of the Bai Mansion means that the young master of the Bai family has a good start in the imperial examination.
The Bai Song Examination is also a very important event for the girls in the Bai Mansion.
Everyone hopes that Bai Song will come back as a scholar.
After all, today's Baifu is no longer a home for ordinary people. It has always been regarded as a wealthy businessman, and its reputation is really bad outside.
If you pass the examination as a scholar, you will have achieved fame. From now on, there will be one less shortcoming among the Youzhou nobles. The rest is just to spread the branches and leaves of the Bai family and prosper the population.
For this reason, Xiang'er even ran early to burn incense and buy lottery tickets for her husband.
Xiang'er drew the top lottery and was very excited when she got home, expecting that her husband would definitely pass the exam.
In the afternoon, a banquet was prepared at home, waiting for the husband to come back to celebrate.
Everyone was waiting at home, each discussing the probability of passing the Bai Song exam.
Whether you can pass the exam mainly depends on your literary skills.
The girls have not seen many articles by Bai Song on weekdays, but they have more or less heard poems that Bai Song recited casually. Judging from those scattered poems, Bai Song's literary foundation is quite profound.
This is also the reason why several girls have full confidence in Bai Song.
After noon, Xiao Cuifang shouted at the door: "Miss, my uncle is back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Song grabbed Xiao Cui's braid with one hand and carried his schoolbag with the other, followed by Bai Rou, and the three of them entered the courtyard together.
"Brother Bai, how did you do in the exam?" Sangsang was the first to step forward and asked.
Everyone is concerned about this issue and is looking forward to Bai Song's answer.
"Looking at the joy on the young master's face, he must have done well." Dong Xiang agreed.
At this time, Bai Songcai shook his head with a wry smile and said two words: "No chance!"
Having said that, he stuffed his schoolbag into Dongxiang's hands, but it didn't matter much.
Examinations were nothing in Bai Song's mind. They were just about experiencing feelings. If you passed the exam, you would pass it. If you failed, it would be nothing, so he didn't take it to heart.
But the family members didn't think so. The imperial examination was of great importance, and they all looked forward to Bai Song's success.
When Bai Song said that there was no chance, Xiang'er's face turned sideways, and the smile on her face suddenly turned into sadness.
"There are still more than a month left to publish the announcement, and there will definitely be good news then." Xiang'er comforted her in a low voice.
Bai Song was self-aware and shook his head: "There are four questions in the test paper. I can't answer three questions. How can I be selected?"
Now everyone understands that if you only answered one of the four questions, how could you pass the exam?
"..." Xiang'er didn't say anything more. She lowered her head and sighed softly.
Bai Song noticed that everyone's expressions were different and said: "Hey, what's wrong with you? The imperial examination is just to test the water. If it works, just give up. Don't look downcast."
"Yes, Sang Sang believes that Brother Bai will definitely pass the exam next year." Sang Sang forced out a smile and forced herself to be energetic.
Bai Song frowned after hearing this: "Next year? There's still next year! This exam is not taken by humans, and they don't know how to do it."
"...Brother Bai, do you want to give up?"
There was something wrong in the atmosphere, Bai Song gradually felt it, and his relaxed mood became a bit dull.
"Is the imperial examination really that important?" Bai Song asked in a low voice.
None of the girls present answered. After a while, Xiang'er said: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, sir. The food is ready inside. If you don't eat it, it will get cold."
Bai Song arrived at the dinner table and found that today's meal was particularly rich.
It can be seen that this is carefully prepared by the whole family.
The more carefully the family prepared, the more Bai Song could feel how much they valued the imperial examination.
I thought to myself that my performance must have disappointed them.
For a moment, Bai Song didn't know what it was like. It was just a game, but it made the family worried.
Thinking about it, I also blame myself. It was because I didn't care about it at all and just said it out of the blue, so everyone had high hopes for it.
Reality gave Bai Song a slap in the face. There was no place to copy the poems and songs in his memory, and they were completely useless.
This matter can only be passed away like this. In the future, in terms of literature, Bai Song feels that he should be more modest.
Faced with everyone's gloomy look, Bai Song had no good way to relieve himself. He could only wait for time to kill it all.
But halfway through the meal, the governor came to visit in person.
Bai Song didn't know what was going on and hurriedly went out to greet her. He thought he was asking about the princess, so he took the initiative and said: "Master Jiang, didn't the princess say she was going back to Beijing today? She has already left."
Jiang Yu patted Bai Song on the shoulder with a smile: "I know about the princess, and I am here for you today."
"I?"
"Good boy, I have predicted that the princess's move to the White House will bring you good luck. Today you really have great luck. The princess has told you to go to Beijing to study in two months and become a disciple of Master Secretary Yu Shinan.
."
"..." Bai Song was stunned, not understanding what was going on.
Seeing Bai Song's silly look, Jiang Yu frowned and emphasized: "What are you doing so stupidly? The princess also ordered you to thank her."
Bai Song was still a little confused: "Wait...two months later, going to Beijing to enroll? I...I didn't even think about going to Beijing. What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? This is because the princess respects you! An opportunity that many people have never dreamed of has been bumped into by you! What else is there to say? Thank you quickly, then take a rest, and prepare to enter the capital and become a successful person."
"I don't want to go to the capital, can I not go?"
"The princess has given you an oral instruction. If you don't go, you won't go. Are you stupid? Do you know who Master Yu Shinan is? He is a great scholar of the time. He has disciples all over the world. His fame is rare in this world. You can worship him.
Being under my disciples is a blessing gained in my previous life. How could you not take advantage of it?"
What the hell?
The news came too suddenly, and Bai Song was unprepared.
His plan is to take root in Jixian, cultivate his own power, and live a stable life in the future. Where does he want to go to Beijing?
Still studying?
I have lived two lifetimes and still learned nothing!
But before Bai Song could reply, Xiang'er, who came later, was overjoyed when she heard this. Regardless of etiquette, she rushed to answer before her husband: "Thank you for the gift, Princess. The Bai Mansion will definitely abide by Princess Yi's decree."
"That's right! Madam still understands etiquette." Jiang Yu then stroked his beard with confidence, patted Bai Song and said, "When you become an official in the future, don't forget me."
After speaking, Jiang Yu left with a few people.
Bai Songcai turned around and said in surprise: "Xiang'er, why did you agree like this?"
"How could you let such a good thing go? Besides, it was the princess's order."
"The princess's oral instruction is not an imperial edict!" Bai Song frowned, feeling really unhappy. This Princess Runan didn't say a word, why did she do this?
Her dictation was so light that it completely disrupted her plan.
