"Meet Uncle Shi!" After seeing Bai Shang, Wang Yu saluted him according to Confucian standards.
When I first met Bai Shang, his future father-in-law seemed quite elegant. Every hair was neat and every button was fastidious. He was similar to the upright appearance of most Confucian scholars.
Bai Shang, if you take it out at this time, people outside will indeed call him a great scholar. Perhaps he was once just an ordinary Confucian scholar, but now that he has reached this level, even if he does not have the talent and learning of a great Confucian, he still has to be treated as a great Confucian.
"Xiao Yu, why should you be so polite? Just treat it as if you are coming to your own home and be casual!" A gentle, generous, dignified and gorgeous lady kindly helped Wang Yu up and said, and at the same time, asked the servant to bring Wang Yu. Take those gifts first.
Xu Youruo, Bai Ruolan's mother, is also Xu Qing's aunt.
Next to Bai Shang and Xu Youruo is Bai Ruolan. Today, Bai Ruolan is wearing a green willow leaf palace dress, with a graceful figure, standing beside Bai Shang slimly.
Bai Ruolan's cold face remained calm, without joy or disgust. This is normal. Although they were destined to be partners for a lifetime a long time ago, after all, they have only known each other for two months now, and their interactions in these two months have not been very good. many.
Not to mention, it was quite awkward when they first met...
"Xiao Yu is here, sit down first!" Bai Shang pointed to a seat under his left hand.
"Yes, the last time I saw you was more than ten years ago, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye!" Future Old Taishan seemed to be sighing.
"Uncle Shi's style remains the same as before!"
To be honest, although Wang Yu inherited the memory of the former Wang Yu, he only remembered some more important things. Things like Wang Yu's childhood may even have been forgotten by him. It is naturally impossible for Wang Yu to remember that he met the future Old Taishan when he was a child.
It's just that if you don't remember it, you won't remember it, but you can't say this kind of thing.
"How has the prince's health been in recent years?" Perhaps Bai Chang and Wang Chang had a good relationship, so Bai Shang asked about Wang Yu's father as soon as he came up.
"My father is still in good health, and he often misses Uncle Shi. He mentioned to Yu many times the friendship he had with Uncle Shi back then!" Wang Yu said nonsensically without blinking.
"Although you and Ruolan have been engaged for a long time, it has not been announced to the public. You two have never met since you were young. You have been in Kyoto for the past three years. You two still need to get closer!" After greeting each other, Bai Shang looked solemn and said solemnly.
Although Bai Shang has a son, he is just a middle-aged man. He is not like the Bai Shang of the past at all. Therefore, Bai Shang is not happy with him. Relatively speaking, Bai Shang is much more doting on Bai Ruolan, a daughter who has been smart since childhood.
In Tianqi Continent, although overall, men are still respected, women also have a certain status, especially talented women, and there are not a few who become officials. Therefore, there is no absolute saying that men are superior to women.
"Ruolan is beautiful and intelligent, and extremely intelligent. It is Yu's blessing to be able to stay with Ruolan for the rest of his life!" Wang Yu also nodded solemnly.
Wang Yu was indeed very satisfied with Bai Ruolan as his fiancée. Although she didn't have much contact with him, this was a girl who knew how to advance and retreat. She shouldn't ask about things. If Wang Yu didn't take the initiative to say it, she wouldn't ask more questions. The most important thing is that beautiful girls are never annoying!
"By the way, Da Cang College's annual exam is coming soon, you should know this, right?" After hearing Wang Yu's assurance, Bai Shang nodded with satisfaction, but the next moment the topic changed.
Da Cang Academy arranges a major exam at the end of every year. Now that November has come, the day of the exam is indeed approaching.
The difficulty of this exam all depends on your luck. Some people who are lucky may be assigned a simple task, but those who are unlucky may also be assigned an extremely troublesome task.
Similarly, if you are lucky, you may be able to complete it easily. If you are unlucky, and you are sent to a place far away from Kyoto, you may have to wait for more than half a month, or even a month, or even years just to travel. Can't make it.
"Is there something hidden in this exam?" Wang Yu couldn't help but ask.
Seeing Bai Shang's serious look, Wang Yu knew that this matter was definitely not something Bai Shang mentioned casually. There must be something behind it that he didn't know about.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, but I should inform you in advance so you can be prepared!" Bai Shang said with a solemn expression.
Wang Yu guessed that since Bai Shang had specifically mentioned it, it might not be as simple as he said.
"Uncle Shi, just say it bluntly!" Wang Yu cheered up and said.
"In recent years, the north has become increasingly unstable, and military conflicts have begun. The three kings are even more eyeing. What's more serious is that in recent years, natural and man-made disasters have continued, and various areas have been hit by disasters one after another, so that bandits have survived and chaos has gradually arisen!" Bai Shang seemed a little worried.
"Could it be that this big test is still about suppressing bandits?" Wang Yu said seriously. Wang Yu noticed that in Bai Shang's words just now, the words "bandit survival" were particularly emphasized.
Speaking of which, at least in the past three years, the content of the exams for the martial arts disciples of Da Cang Academy has been to go to various places to suppress bandits. From this, the chaos hidden in the various realms of the sky can be seen.
Moreover, the most important thing is that the bandits will never be wiped out and the people will not be able to live a stable life. There will always be people willing to take risks. Some bandits even developed with the support of officials to help these groups gather ill-gotten wealth.
Henan Road is a little better. The imperial capital is in Henan Road. There are 800,000 forbidden troops guarding here. No one who is short-sighted dares to run wild here!
"Yes, Hebei, Yannan, and Guangyin were hit by floods this year, and many victims resorted to robbing their homes in order to survive. However, this time, a group of ruthless bandits appeared in Yannan Road!"
Yannan Road, when you hear this name, you know that it is very close to Yanbei Road, Wang Yu's hometown. In fact, Yanbei Road is immediately adjacent to Yannan Road. To the south of Yanbei Road, Hebei Road is to the west, and Yannan Road is to the east.
Although he didn't know what the specific situation was in Yannan Road after the disaster, Wang Yu passed by Hebei Province on his way to Kyoto, so he had some understanding of the disaster situation in Hebei Province.
Under such circumstances, it is not unusual for the victims who cannot survive to dominate the mountain and rob their homes!
However, to what extent did the gangsters in Yannan Road develop to such a high-ranking official like Bai Shang that they could be called ruthless gangsters.
