It was getting dark, and there was a cry of frogs in the academy pond.

Although the night breeze was cool, there were a lot of mosquitoes, and the candidates who had been waiting for a long time lined up together, slapping the mosquitoes uneasily.

Some yawned, others were in good spirits.

Bai Song mingled in the crowd, quietly waiting for the statistical results.

"Hey, this Yongxing student is really cumbersome, it's been so long, and I haven't finished the second round." Xie Yuan complained quietly.

Bai Song didn't pay attention, watching Xie Yan yawn, he couldn't help but snort.

This casual breath, but I saw a pair of bright eyes staring at him not far away, it was Yu Ji's little brother.

Bai Song looked left and right to confirm whether the other party was looking at him.

After confirming that it was correct, he looked at the other party, but saw that the little brother had already lowered his head and looked to the side, and he didn't know what the hell he was doing.

At this moment, the examiner in front of him suddenly said: "The statistics are over, and each of them will get their own works." ”

Finally, the statistics were over, and everyone rushed up, and Bai Song was squeezed behind.

There was no one around, and in addition to Bai Song, there was only the little brother Yu who was peeking at him.

The other party was looking at Bai Song, blushing with a weak heart, and disappeared directly into the crowd by the good-looking Yu Ji in front of him.

Bai Song feels weird, why does this little kid always look at himself? Is there something unclean on your face?

The slight doubts were quickly overshadowed by the announcement of the results that followed.

Bai Song's sketch was highly controversial, but it received a lot of votes, ranking 20th, and entered the third round of the exam in the middle position.

In the second round of exams, Xie Yuan's brother Xie Yan regretfully left the venue.

There were also sixty people who left, and most of the voices of regret in the academy were words of mutual blessing when they said goodbye.

Bai Song, Xie Yuan and Cui Xing, the three of them sent Xie Yan away.

Thinking of the hardships of several people in the cottage at the beginning, escaping together, and saving people together, now that they have just experienced the common examination room, they have a lot of feelings when they are separated, especially Xie Yan, who left the venue, his eyes were hazy with tears when he parted, and he gave his hand to the three of them with a trembling voice: "The green mountains do not change, the water flows for a long time, we can only see each other in the examination room." ”

"Heroes don't ask where they come from, we are studying in the same capital, even if we are not in the same college, there is still no difference between high and low. After entering the school, as long as you study hard and read more poetry and books, it is still unknown who will die in the examination room next year. Not for anything else, just for those cold-eyed people, they must be impressed, and see who will call us hillbillies in the future! Cui Xing clasped Xie Yan's hand, felt a lot, and said sincerely.

Xie Yuan didn't say anything, just patted his brother on the shoulder, when they had something to say.

When it came to Bai Song, I couldn't say anything.

Bai Song is not very sad, he thinks that it is just a small entrance exam, and if he can't get in, there are other academies, what is there to be sad about?

Besides, who says that students from prestigious universities are necessarily better than students at junior colleges?

However, looking at the regretful departure of dozens of people around him, without exception, they are all such a nostalgic parting.

Bai Song was also a little moved in his heart.

An imperial examination, several years of study, carries too much hope for students, and the road to success in this era is far more cruel than the college entrance examination.

This situation fell in Bai Song's eyes, which inexplicably added some heaviness to Bai Song's heart.

If you think about it, didn't you come with the hope of the whole family?

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

There was a small cough behind him.

Bai Song turned around, it was that little Nizi Yu Ji!

Bai Song looked up and down, I don't know what kind of road this Nizi is?

Yu Ji was a little shy, and his speech was a little slurred: "That...... Well...... That one...... Draw ......"

"Painting? What paintings? ”

"Paintings from the second round of exams."

"Oh, you said that painting, um, what's wrong?"

"Can you ...... Can you give it to me? ”

"To you?" Bai Song's brows furrowed, a little puzzled, and a little surprised.

Seeing Bai Song raise his eyebrows, Yu Ji was suddenly a little nervous: "I won't take your painting for nothing, I mean I saw your painting and liked it very much, and I want to buy it." ”

When Bai Song heard this, he really raised his eyebrows, and immediately made up the picture in his mind.

This little Nizi won't be like seeing a painting like seeing a person, loving the house and Wu, liking painting has become a liking people, otherwise how to talk will stutter?

Thinking of this, Bai Song became interested, smiled and got a little closer, and took out the previous sketch from his sleeve.

"What kind of money? Brother Yu said this is to see the outside, if Brother Yu likes it, just take it, it should be handed over to a friend. ”

Yu Ji didn't expect Bai Song to be so free, the reason why he was embarrassed was that he just felt that it was a little inappropriate to take the initiative to ask for other people's things, and it was not what Bai Song thought at all.

If it weren't for his sister's begging, how could he, a young master, do such a thing?

Yu Ji took the painting, spread it out and took a brief look, and after confirming that the woman in the painting was his sister, he gratefully bowed his hand to Bai Songyi.

Then he took the words and turned around and left.

As soon as Yu Ji turned his face, his face full of gratitude immediately became gloomy, and he glanced back at Bai Song with a black belly.

"Humph! Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone! is so free and easy, isn't it a deliberate attempt to please the little sister? ”

After a few minutes, the academy was much less crowded, and the whole courtyard became empty.

It is worth mentioning that when everyone left, one person entered the outfield.

This person is the eldest grandson who went out to repair the fan.

Others failed the exam and left, but this eldest grandson did not take the second round of exams, but he was still able to come in with a swagger.

And as a candidate for the third round of exams.

Everyone knows that Changsun Jian is going through the motions, no one will care about his results, no matter what, he will inevitably be one of the fifteen.

"Everyone is in place, and the third round of exams will start immediately."

The examiner spoke again, and the noisy crowd immediately quieted down.

Bai Song returned to his previous seat and saw that the Yu family brothers were still sitting opposite.

Yu Ji looked at the little sister who was obsessed with paintings next to her, holding her cheeks, her eyes were full of peach blossoms, which was definitely not a good thing.

As soon as he turned around, Yu Ji stared at Bai Song with a gloomy gaze with a black belly, guarding against Bai Song, and said in his heart that he must find a way not to let his innocent and lovely sister get on the thief ship of a merry boy.

was looking at it, and suddenly met Bai Song's eyes, and then his heart was weak, so he quickly lowered his head, and his face turned red.

Bai Song smiled evilly, saliva flowed out, and said in his heart, you are a little girl, you can watch it if you want to, why bother to be sneaky? There will be a chance in the future, sir, I will strip naked so that you can see enough.

Time passed minute by minute, and when the light of the four lanterns was no longer enough, someone brought a candle and lit it in front of each candidate.

But the third round of exams is still delayed.

Until a bonfire was lit and a large cauldron was set up in the middle of the compound.

Everyone stood up, somewhat inexplicably.

Xie Yuan leaned over to Bai Song's side and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Bai Song shook his head, and said in his heart, where do I know?

The cauldron quickly heated up, white smoke rose from it, and several young men worked together to carry a bucket of ...... A barrel of oil!

It was poured into the pot in full view of everyone.

Seeing this scene, Bai Song was stunned on the spot, and said in his heart, how can this scene be familiar?

This...... This is not the earthy part of fishing for copper coins in the oil pot, right?

Just thinking about it, the examiner walked to the side of the pot, untied a string of copper coins and sprinkled them into the oil pot, and then said loudly: "This third round of the exam is to test the word 'brave', born as a literati, not to compare with the body of a soldier, but also to have a loyal and brave heart, Mr. Bosch's students must not only be outstanding in literature, but also fearless and fearless, who can fish out the copper coins from this oil pot, they can be included in Yongxing College." There are a total of fifteen places, and only the first fifteen people who fish out the copper coins have a chance. ”

As soon as the words fell, thick oil smoke began to emerge from the cauldron.

Here is a group of pampered sons, where have you ever seen such a battle?

Fishing for copper coins in the oil pot?

Are you kidding?

Everyone was stunned, feeling a wave of heat around the cauldron and taking a step back.

"Who's got a bad idea!" In the crowd, the eldest grandson was the first to shout, "Do you know who the little master is?" Fishing copper coins in the oil pot, are you trying to kill us? Tell you, don't talk about a small sesame official of Wenshu Monastery, even if Yu Shinan was present in person, he didn't dare to hurt a single hair of the master! Who came up with the questions for your third round? Believe it or not, master, I went to the emperor to complain and beheaded you all! ”

"That's it!"

"That's it!"

"Lao Tzu is the only son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, you are so big!"

"My uncle-in-law is a young eunuch in Zhongshu Province!"

"I am ......"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and they all began to boil when they saw the smoke in the oil pot getting bigger and bigger.

At this time, an old voice came from the entrance of the inner courtyard: "The question is from the old man, if you don't dare, please retreat, some people say that they want to sue the old man, just go, don't make noise here." ”

As soon as the sound came out, the audience was silent, and there was no sound in the compound, only oil and water were rolling.

"Mr. Bosch."

"Grandpa Yu."

"Yu Shibo."

How arrogant these sons were before, how humble they are now.

Yu Shinan Yu and everyone came forward in person, and everyone subconsciously bowed and saluted.

It was too late, Bai Song couldn't see Yu Shinan's appearance, he only saw that he was an old man who was old and frail, and from the sound of his voice, he knew that his life was short, and now he was just holding on.

When the officials of Wenshu Monastery saw Yu Shinan, they also bent down to salute and hurriedly went to help: "Lord Yu, you should have rested a long time ago, how can you ...... such a trivial matter?"

"Ahem...... the old man waved his hand, "It's okay, this is the old man's last batch of students, so he should use some heart." ”

Last Students!

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The sons of various official families and families present, even if they don't know it, they have heard some discussions from their elders.

Yu Shinan had long intended to resign, but the emperor dragged it and refused to allow it, but now Yu Shinan is seventy-four years old, and the enrollment of students is only for recreation.

The last batch of students is undoubtedly announcing that they are about to resign and return to their hometowns.

However, Yu Shinan is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, with a deep reputation and deep-rooted power, and has assisted the three emperors of the Chen State, the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. Yu Shinan is old and can go, but he can't go in the DPRK.
