Chapter 33: The Leaping Dragon Gate [1]
Not long after, Bai Yuxian came to the gate of Tai Academy again.
"Candidate's name."
"White Jade Immortal."
"Let's go inside."
Unlike the last time when the college exam arrived, you still had to wait for a while for all the candidates to enter the exam room together.
After Bai Yuxian arrived, he directly took out the Yusheng token and the exam token he received half a month ago, and after verifying his identity, he was directly taken into the examination room and sat down.
The examination room is not big, compared to the last college exam, it is so small that I don't know how much, and the entire examination room adds up to only more than 100 seats, which means that there are only more than 100 people in the entrance examination of Guozijian.
But don't assume that just because there are fewer people you have a better chance of passing the exam.
On the contrary, the entrance examination of Guozijian held by the Hanlin Academy is known as the most difficult test in Datang, and the probability of passing is even more difficult than that of Zhongju or even Zhongjinshi.
Because the candidates who can participate in the entrance examination of Guozijian are all students from all over the Tang Dynasty, it can be said that they are the most outstanding people in the Tang Dynasty, and it is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to stand out from such a group of people.
The number of places admitted to the entrance examination for Guozijian is only 10 in each session.
That is to say, if the more than 100 students present want to successfully pass the assessment and enter the Guozijian, they must be admitted to the top ten.
After Bai Yuxian entered the examination room, she found her place and sat down very smoothly.
At this time, most of the candidates in the examination room had already come, but none of them spoke and made a sound, and they all remained absolutely quiet.
Then, after more than a few moments, more than 100 candidates all arrived.
"Knock~"
At the end of the day, with the melodious sound of the bell, the entrance examination of this year's Guozijian officially began.
Bai Yuxian first briefly looked at the test papers sent down, and found that the test papers of the Guozijian entrance examination were similar to the previous college exams, and the content was still the two parts of scriptures and articles.
However, compared with the college exam, the questions in this exam are much less, almost half less, but the difficulty of each question is much higher, if you don't have enough knowledge of those scriptures, you may not be able to answer it, especially if you want to take the exam by rote memorization, it will be absolutely over.
"There is a level."
After reading the entire test paper preliminarily, Bai Yuxian couldn't help but say in his heart.
The person who came out of the paper this time is definitely accomplished and leveled in terms of scripture and meaning, and there are several questions that Bai Yuxian couldn't think of a complete answer at the first glance after reading it.
In addition, there is a final question, which seems to be a question of scripture and meaning, but it is actually a question of strategy and debate, and it is also superficially deceptive, and if any candidate answers it in the direction of scripture and meaning, it is a big mistake.
However, although the difficulty of this exam paper is not small, it is still not a big problem for me.
After roughly reading the entire test paper, Bai Yuxian suddenly felt confident in his heart, and immediately began to write hard to answer.
And with the opening of the entrance examination for Guozijian, the eyes of countless people in the entire capital have also fallen on the side of Tai Academy, and even many princes, nobles, and powerful high-level officials have cast their eyes.
After all, the weight of the Guozijian is there.
Although the Guozijian Entrance Examination is not a formal imperial examination, if you really want to talk about weight, even if it is not much weaker than the highest standard of the imperial examination, the palace examination.
In particular, the ten inmates who can pass the entrance examination of Guozijian and enter Guozijian, any one of them is definitely worth paying attention to, because this kind of person who can be admitted to Guozijian with his own ability, as long as there are no major problems in the future, he is definitely qualified to win the center of the Tang Dynasty.
Especially in the Bai family of Wuhou Mansion at this time, almost the entire Wuhou Mansion was paying attention to this Guozijian entrance exam.
In the garden of the inner mansion of Wuhou Mansion, under the leadership of Old Taijun Bai, the ladies of the inner mansion gathered together again.
Bai Yusheng was also at the scene, still the center of the entire garden, surrounded by a group of female dependents and stars in the center of the water pavilion, chanting poems.
Han Shiyin also sat on the verandah next to the water pavilion, looking at the picture in front of him, especially Bai Yusheng, who was held by the stars.
She didn't feel much before, but it felt good to be with your sisters and sisters like this.
But now, all she thinks is noisy.
Especially looking at Bai Yusheng, who was held by the stars and kept showing off his literary talents in the center, he felt a kind of disgust in his heart for no reason.
I only feel that Bai Yusheng is elegant, coquettish, pretentious, childish and superficial.....
The most important thing is that the writing is not very good.
Unlike Brother Yuxian, he is both civil and military, humble as jade, Yushu is in the wind, mature and calm, and hard-working....... is obviously full of talent, but never shows off.
Compared with Brother Yuxian, it is really a heaven and an underground.
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 didn't want to come, and she had to come, after all, she was not a member of the Bai family after all, she just stayed, and belonged to the fence, and it was inevitable to see people's faces under the fence.
Fortunately, there is also Brother Yuxian.
Thinking of Bai Yuxian, Han Shiyin's mood suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, especially when she thought of Bai Yuxian's original words.
How dare you enter the prosperity with a clean and poor body, and how dare you mistake a beautiful woman with a clean breeze on your sleeves.
Every time I think of this sentence, Han Shiyin feels very beautiful.
I thought that Brother Yuxian was really a gentleman, if he wasn't a gentleman, how could he say such beautiful words.
Brother Yuxian, I know the ambition of Lingyun in your heart, I will wait for you.
"Today is the entrance exam for Guozijian, 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 heart, and couldn't help but worry in her heart, and at the same time she had some expectations, because she knew that if Bai Yuxian really passed the entrance exam for Guozijian this time, it would really be a leap into the dragon gate.
Han Shiyin was thinking distracted by herself here, and the eyes of the surrounding Bai Lao Taijun, Bai Yusheng and others were actually always paying attention to Han Shiyin's performance.
Especially Bai Yusheng, the relationship between him and Han Shiyin was very stiff during this time, and he found that although his sister Shiyin did not avoid him directly after losing his temper a few times before, he also began to become cold to himself and didn't play with him much anymore.
That Bai Yuxian is really that good!
Obviously, you used to only call me one person, Brother Yusheng!
Bai Yusheng was angry, seeing that Han Shiyin was indifferent to him and didn't pay much attention to himself, he simply pretended not to care about Han Shiyin angrily.
The old lady Bai and Mrs. Wang in the pavilion next to them also saw this scene.
Mrs. Bai looked at Han Shiyin's performance and felt a little displeased in her heart, but now Han Shiyin is neither noisy nor noisy, and when she called Han Shiyin, she was obedient and obedient on the surface, so it was difficult to say anything after all.
Mrs. Wang was dissatisfied, feeling that Han Shiyin was a little ignorant and even ignorant, even if you 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 was playing tricks in their Bai family, who to show it.
Besides, what is the identity of Bai Yuxian, a lowly side disciple, even if he is talented, what can he do, he will be an official in the future, and what is the identity of his son, the future heir of Wuhou Mansion, even if he does nothing in the future, he will inherit the lord, how can Bai Yuxian be compared.
In Mrs. Wang's view, it is 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.
Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Mi, who were on the side, also saw everything, but they didn't say much, but they were in a better mood to watch the show.
"If I'm not mistaken, today seems to be the day of the entrance exam for the Guozijian." Suddenly, Old Lady Bai spoke.
The scene was silent.
Because Bai Yuxian caused Bai Yusheng to lose his temper a month ago, Bai Lao Taijun was unhappy, and now the relatives of the inner government present are basically silent about Bai Yuxian and the entrance examination of Guozijian this time.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Mrs. Bai suddenly mentioned it herself.
However, Bai Lao Taijun didn't mean much, the reason why she brought it up today was mainly because she really cared about the entrance exam of Guozijian and the result of Bai Yuxian this time.
Of course, what Old Taijun Bai cares about is not whether Bai Yuxian can successfully pass.
On the contrary, deep down, Old Taijun Bai still didn't want Bai Yuxian to pass.
After all, Bai Yuxian is just a side child after all, in Bai Lao Taijun's heart, Bai Yuxian is not her own person after all, and in her heart, there is only one future in Wuhou Mansion, that is, her precious grandson Bai Yusheng.
If Bai Yuxian really passed the Guozijian this time, wouldn't he have completely overwhelmed Bai Yusheng, and with this identity, then who else in the mansion would be able to suppress Bai Yusheng in the future.
In Bai Laotaijun's view, the side line can be excellent, but not too good, let alone overpowering the main family.
Otherwise, if the side family is too good and surpasses the main family, then how should the main family deal with itself.
