Chapter 20: The first of the college examination
The so-called top students are the top ten in the exam, and Bai Yuxian has participated in the county and college exams before, and the top ten are top students.
And if you can get the top 10 in the three examinations of the county examination, the government examination, and the college examination and become an honor student, then you can become a student after the college examination and participate in the entrance examination of the national school held by the Hanlin Academy.
At the same time, after becoming a widow, you can also go to the government to receive six buckets of grain every month, although this is not high, but for scholars with poor family conditions, these six buckets of grain are enough for an ordinary family of three to live, and the most important thing is that the food that is eligible to receive the government is not the same in itself.
Therefore, although he is also a famous talent, his status is much higher than that of ordinary talents, and he can be regarded as an excellent student among talents.
The original Bai Yuxian was the top ten honor students in the first two county and college examinations, so as long as he also passed the top ten in the college examination and became an honor student in this college examination, then he could become a poor student and get the Guozijian exam held by the Hanlin Academy a month later.
"The 139th place in this year's college examination, the one on the list, Xu Siyuan ....."
The civil official began to read out the list of students who passed the college examination, and the order was from back to front, that is, from the last place in the admission, and the list meant to be admitted.
The last person who passed the hospital examination was named Xu Siyuan.
This was followed by the 138th and 137th.....
Every time a civil official pronounced a name, the crowd would let out an excited voice and then immediately fell silent, so as not to interfere with the reading of the list by the civil official.
After a while, the list read the top ten top students in the college examination.
Bai Yuxian couldn't help but be happy in his heart, his name was not read in front of him, which meant that if he passed this time, he would definitely be among the top ten top students.
As for the results of this college examination, Bai Yuxian is also very sure.
Of course, there are no absolutes, especially before the dust settles on everything.
Therefore, although Bai Yuxian was confident in himself in his heart, as the civil officials began to read the top ten, Bai Yuxian's mood couldn't help but slowly tense.
"In this year's college examination, the tenth place among the top students, Wu Sixing."
"The ninth place in the top students of this year's college examination, Li Qin."
"The eighth place of the outstanding students in this college examination ......."
With the civil official reading, soon the tenth, ninth, eighth, and seventh places of the top students in this year's college examination.... and so on.
But they didn't hear Bai Yuxian's name.
"Why haven't you read the name of your brother yet?"
Beside Bai Yuxian, seeing that Bai Yuxian's name had not been read at this time, Bai Haowen, Bai Haowu, Bai Qingzhi, and Bai Ziyu couldn't help but become a little nervous and anxious.
Soon the seventh, sixth, fifth, fourth, and third places also appeared, and there was still no name of Bai Yuxian.
Bai Haowu's heads were already sweating profusely with anxiety.
Bai Yuxian's own heart also involuntarily lifted up at this moment.
"The second place in the top students in this college examination, Wang Yanlin."
Not yet.
Bai Haowu and the four of them felt that their hearts had already risen to their throats, until the civil official read the name of the first place in the end.
"The first place in this year's college examination, Bai Yuxian."
White Jade Immortal.
Buzzed, Bai Haowen, Bai Haowu, Bai Qingzhi, and Bai Ziyu only felt that their brains seemed to explode in an instant.
Bai Yuxian did not fall off the list and really passed the hospital exam.
And it's number one.
First in the college exam!
It's yourself.
Hearing his last name, Bai Yuxian's tense heart couldn't help but fall instantly.
After reading all the lists, the civil official asked the official behind him to post the entire list on the bulletin board on the wall next to him, and Bai Yuxian's name appeared at the top of the list.
Immediately after that, the candidates who passed began to go forward to verify their identities and register to receive their own talent books.
After these are completed, it also means that you have completely possessed the fame of Xiucai, and you will be recorded by the imperial court for your literary and scientific fame, and you will enjoy certain privileges and protection from the imperial court.
"Yuxian, congratulations, the first in the college exam."
"Congratulations to the Yuxian clan brother, the first in the college exam, the high school talent, the fame, and one of them."
"Congratulations to Yuxian."
Bai Yuxian's side, Bai Haowu and the four of them congratulated for the first time, and they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts, after all, during this period of time, the relationship between the four of them and Bai Yuxian has always gotten along well, and they are all natural close to the children of the collateral line, and Bai Yuxian will really rise to the top in the future, which is undoubtedly an opportunity for the four of them.
"It turns out that this is Brother Yuxian, and sure enough, it is Yushu Linfeng, the instrument is lofty, and he has been looking up for a long time, and he is under Liu Qingyuan."
“......”
Many other students on the list listened to Bai Haowu's words and learned the identity of Bai Yuxian, and many of them immediately took the initiative to come over to say hello.
"It turned out to be Brother Liu, disrespectful."
Bai Yuxian also responded politely with a smile, and then walked towards Tai Academy with a few students who took the initiative to greet them and were also on the list, and began to verify their identity registration.
Compared with the autumn examination and the spring examination, the level of the college examination is still lower after all, if the autumn examination or the spring examination, the high school is on the list, the government will directly send someone to send the merit book of the person or the jinshi, that is the real scenery, and even after that, there will be a deer banquet and Qujiang banquet specially held by the government for the high school or jinshi.
"You are the White Jade Immortal."
"Yes, student Bai Yuxian has seen adults."
"Sure enough, it is the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the jade tree is in the wind."
Soon it was Bai Yuxian's turn to verify his identity and register to receive the merit book, and the civil official who registered couldn't help but look at Bai Yuxian and praise him.
After all, he is the first in the college examination, and the previous two county examinations and government examinations are also excellent students, such talents, it is not surprising that in the future, the imperial examination of high school jinshi and the first will be eight or nine inseparable from ten, so it is naturally worth his other eyes.
"Your Excellency is overrated."
Bai Yuxian is still modest and polite.
The registered civil official nodded to Bai Yuxian with a kind smile, and then registered Bai Yuxian and handed Bai Yuxian the Xiucai merit book, and also gave Bai Yuxian a copper token, which was engraved with the two big characters [廪生], which represented Bai Yuxian's identity as a student.
After getting the merit book and the token of the birth of the merit, Bai Yuxian's heart was completely relaxed.
With Xiucai's fame, especially the identity protection of the emperor, he finally has a certain status in this world, and even in the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion in the future, no one can bully him at will, even if it is the old lady and the descendants of the lord of Wuhou Mansion.
Because of his fame, it represents the fame of the Tang Dynasty, especially the liberal arts, and it also means that he has officially entered the forest of the world's descendants, and to a certain extent, it also represents the face and interests of the world's descendants.
And now that the Tang Dynasty has been prosperous for many years, the influence of the literati is even more powerful, and if anyone dares to touch the face and interests of the literati, even the princes and nobles will not be able to eat and walk around.
For example, if anyone dares to bully a literati with meritorious fame at will, the matter can definitely attract the whole world to attack, because fame is one of the interests of the literati, and the literati who bullied the meritorious and famous today will dare to bully the meritorious literati tomorrow, and what is the value of the literati's fame if this continues.
Therefore, the value of fame is also related to the interests of the entire group of scholars, so it is also protected by all the literati in the world, which is the interests of the entire people of the world.
"The entrance exam of Guozijian will be held in a month, you are a student with reference qualifications, remember to come to Tai Academy half a month in advance to register."
The registered civil official kindly reminded Bai Yuxian again.
"Thank you for the reminder, students remember."
Bai Yuxian immediately thanked him again, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
At this moment, after gaining fame, especially after becoming a widow, he found that the people around him seemed to be kind to him all at once, and it seemed that the whole world suddenly became gentle.
