Myth: Xianwu Tang Dynasty

Chapter 34 Fish leaps over the dragon gate [[-]]

Not long after, Bai Yuxian came to the gate of Taiyue College again.

"Candidate's name."

"Bai Yuxian."

"go in."

It is different from the last time when all the candidates had to wait for a while to enter the examination room together.

When Bai Yuxian arrived, he took out his Linsheng token and the exam token he had received half a month ago. After verifying his identity, he was taken directly into the examination room and sat down.

The examination room is not big either. Compared with the last college examination, it is much smaller. The entire examination room only has more than 100 seats in total, which means that there are only more than 100 people for the Imperial College entrance examination this time.

But don’t think that because there are fewer people, your chances of passing the exam will increase.

On the contrary, the Imperial College Entrance Examination held by the Hanlin Academy is known as the most difficult exam in the Tang Dynasty. The probability of passing is even more difficult than passing the imperial examination or even becoming a Jinshi.

Because the candidates who can participate in the Imperial College Entrance Examination are all junior students from all over the Tang Dynasty, they can be said to be the most outstanding group of scholars in the Tang Dynasty. It is understandable how difficult it is to stand out from such a group of people. .

The admission quota for the Imperial College Entrance Examination is only ten people for each session.

In other words, if there are more than 100 junior students present, if they want to successfully pass the examination and enter the Imperial College, they must be among the top ten.

After Bai Yuxian entered the examination room, he easily found his seat and sat down.

At this time, most of the candidates in the examination room had arrived, but no one spoke or made a sound, and they all remained absolutely quiet.

After a while, more than 100 candidates all arrived.

"Boom~"

At the last hour, with the melodious sound of the bell, the entrance examination for this session of the Imperial College officially began.

Bai Yuxian first briefly read the test papers that were handed out and found that the test papers for the Imperial College Entrance Examination were similar to the previous college examinations, and the content was still about classics, meanings and articles.

However, compared to the college exam, the questions in this exam are much fewer, almost half less, but the difficulty of each question is much higher. If you don't have enough attainments in those scriptures and meanings, you may not be able to answer them. If you want to pass the exam, especially if you want to rely on rote memorization, you will definitely fail.

"There is a level."

After reading the entire test paper for the first time, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but think.

The people who wrote the questions this time were definitely accomplished and skilled in the classics and meanings. There were several questions that even Bai Yuxian couldn't think of the complete answers to at the first glance after reading them.

There is also the last question, which looks like a question about classics and meanings, but is actually a policy debate question. It is also deceptive on the surface. If any candidate answers it in the direction of classics and meanings, it would be a big mistake. .

However, although the test papers this time are not easy, it is still not a big problem for me.

After roughly reading the entire test paper, Bai Yuxian suddenly felt confident, and then began to write furiously to answer the questions.

As the Imperial College entrance examination began, the eyes of countless people in the entire capital fell on Taiyuan University, and even many princes, nobles, and high-ranking officials cast their eyes on it.

After all, the importance of the Imperial College lies there.

Although the Imperial College Entrance Examination is not a formal imperial examination, in terms of weight, it is not necessarily much weaker than the highest-level imperial examinations, the Imperial Examination and the Imperial Examination.

In particular, any of the ten graduates who can pass the Imperial College Entrance Examination and enter the Imperial College is definitely worthy of special attention, because those who can enter the Imperial College on their own merits will definitely be qualified to aspire to the Great Tang Dynasty in the future as long as there are no major problems. central figure.

Especially at this time, in the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion, almost the entire Wuhou Mansion was paying attention to the Imperial College entrance examination.

In the garden of the inner palace of Wuhou Mansion, under the leadership of Mrs. Bai, all the female family members of the inner palace gathered together again.

Bai Yusheng was also present, still at the center of the entire garden, surrounded by a group of female family members and maids, like stars holding the moon in their arms, at the center of the waterside pavilion, chanting poems and composing poems.

Han Shiyin also sat on the gallery next to the waterside pavilion, looking at the scene in front of her, especially Bai Yusheng, who was held in high esteem by the stars.

She didn't feel much in the past, and she felt that it was good to be together like this with her sisters.

But now, all she felt was the noise.

Especially looking at Bai Yusheng, who was being praised by all the stars and constantly showing off his literary talents, he felt a sense of disgust in his heart for no reason.I just feel that Bai Yusheng is pretentious, pretentious, showing off his literary talents, and is childish and superficial.
The most important thing is that the literary talent is not very good.

Unlike Brother Yuxian, who is both civil and military, humble as jade, mature and steady, hard-working and motivated. He is obviously full of talents but never shows off.

Compared with Brother Yuxian, he is really in the sky and on the earth.

In fact, to be honest, if it weren't for her grandmother, she wouldn't want to stay here, but Mrs. Bai called her, but she couldn't help but had to come. After all, she was not a member of the Bai family, she just stayed and belonged to the Bai family. When you are under someone else's roof, it is inevitable to look at the person's face.

Fortunately, there is also Brother Yuxian.

Thinking of Bai Yuxian, Han Shiyin's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to clear, especially every time she thought of Bai Yuxian's original words.

How can a poor person dare to enter the prosperous world? How dare the breeze in his sleeves mislead a beautiful woman.

Every time she thought of this sentence, Han Shiyin felt extremely beautiful.

I thought to myself that Brother Yuxian is really a gentleman. If he were not a gentleman, how could he say such beautiful words.

Brother Yuxian, I know the ambition in your heart, and I will wait for you.

"Today is the Imperial College Entrance Examination. I don't know how Brother Yuxian did in the exam, but with Brother Yuxian's talent, it shouldn't be a problem."

Han Shiyin thought in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel worried, and at the same time, she was a little hopeful, because she knew that if Bai Yuxian really passed the Imperial College Entrance Examination this time, he would really leap over the dragon's gate.

Han Shiyin was thinking absentmindedly here, but the eyes of Mrs. Bai, Bai Yusheng and others around her were actually paying attention to Han Shiyin's performance.

Especially Bai Yusheng, his relationship with Han Shiyin was very tense during this period. He found that although he lost his temper several times before, his sister Shiyin did not avoid him as much as before, but she also began to become more and more dissatisfied with him. He is cold and doesn’t play with himself much anymore.

That Bai Yuxian is really that good!
Obviously you only called me Brother Yusheng before!

Bai Yusheng was furious. Seeing that Han Shiyin was indifferent to him and ignored him, he simply pretended not to care about Han Shiyin.

Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Wang in the pavilion next to her also saw this scene in their eyes.

Mrs. Bai was slightly unhappy when she saw Han Shiyin's performance, but now Han Shiyin was neither noisy nor fussy, and when she called her over, Han Shiyin appeared to be obedient, so it was hard to say anything under such circumstances.

Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied and felt that Han Shiyin was ignorant of the general situation and even disrespectful of promotion. Even if Han Shiyin was loved by the old lady, she was just a granddaughter. After all, she was just an outsider and not a member of their Bai family. But now she is in The Bai family is showing off their temper, who can show it to them?

Besides, what is the identity of Bai Yuxian? He is just a lowly collateral descendant. No matter how talented he is, what will happen to him? In the future, he will be an official in the imperial court. And what is the identity of his own son, the future heir of Wuhou Mansion? In the future, even if you do nothing, you will still inherit the lordship. How can Bai Yuxian be compared to it.

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, it was Han Shiyin's honor for her son to fall in love with Han Shiyin.

She originally thought that if her son really liked Han Shiyin in the future, she would marry Han Shiyin as a concubine, but now, she felt that she needed to think about it carefully.

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Mi who were standing by also saw everything, but they didn't say much. Instead, they were more in the mood of watching a good show.

"If I remember correctly, today seems to be the day of the Imperial College entrance examination." Suddenly, Mrs. Bai said.

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Because Bai Yuxian made Bai Yusheng lose his temper a month ago and made Mrs. Bai unhappy, all the family members present now basically kept silent about Bai Yuxian and the Imperial College entrance examination.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Bai suddenly brought it up at this moment.

However, Mrs. Bai didn't mean much. The reason why she brought it up today was mainly because she was really concerned about the Imperial College entrance examination and the result of Bai Yuxian.

Of course, what Mrs. Bai cares about is not whether Bai Yuxian can pass successfully.

On the contrary, deep down in his heart, Mrs. Bai still didn't want Bai Yuxian to pass.

After all, Bai Yuxian is just a collateral descendant. In Mrs. Bai's heart, Bai Yuxian cannot be considered one of her own, and in her heart, there is only one future for Wuhou Mansion, and that is her precious grandson Bai Yusheng.

If Bai Yuxian really passes and enters the Imperial Academy this time, wouldn't he completely overpower Bai Yusheng? And with this level of status, who else can overwhelm Bai Yusheng in the mansion from now on.

In Mrs. Bai's view, the collateral lineage can be excellent, but it cannot be too excellent, let alone overwhelm the main family.

Otherwise, if the collateral line is so outstanding that it surpasses the main family, how will the main family deal with themselves?
