But she didn't expect that the Bai family in Kyoto was so cruel. No woman could reach this point, but they still treated her according to the Bai family's ancestral precepts.
Bai Guo ignored this sentence and just said: "The seventh book on the third row on the bookshelf is what you are looking for."
The seventeenth girl looked at the bookshelf for a moment. It was a book to relieve her thoughts.
Bai Mingzhi could take time out to come to Baiguo because she missed Baiguo so much. From Ruiyu Prefecture and Huiping Prefecture being completely classified as the borders of the Zhou Kingdom, to the Fengguo tsunami indicating that 200,000 people would enter the country, and then to Fengguo. The country completely disappeared, and the non-stop activities caused a lot of energy to be invested in other places, and the scientific examination was postponed.
But the postponement of the scientific examination does not mean the postponement of the general examination. Bai Mingzhi's new national law allows women to take the examination immediately after the scientific examination. Now she is already waiting for the final scientific examination together with Bai Mingzheng, Bai Minghui and Bai Mingsong.
The same goes for Bai Minghong and Bai Mingshao in the second room. Bai Minglei and Bai Mingzheng fell a little short and failed to pass the exam twice.
But it is also because of this that the Bai family has become so prominent.
Not to mention Bai Guo, the third daughter who was directly promoted to a second-grade official without taking any abnormal exams, even Bai Mingsong and others ranked among the best in the exams and never fell out of the list.
Among them, Bai Minghui's article is sharp and straightforward, and the whole article is flawless. I don't know how many writers claim that those who dare to write like this are the people the court needs. Compared with Bai Mingsong's article, Bai Minghui is more sophisticated. Ming Minghui's article is sharp and straightforward. I can't see anything at first sight, but if I think about it a little, I can always think of something.
Countless masters use this article to give lectures to other candidates, in order to create some possibilities for their own candidates, and the candidates who have read it only wish that this article was written by themselves, and more people ponder this article over and over again to get a glimpse of it. It is the preference of some examiners, and also to learn the ways of doing things and the implicit ways of officialdom.
Bai Minghong's article reveals a bit of a gentleman's demeanor, but what he writes is not lacking in kindness and compassion. If Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui are eye-catching because of their brilliant articles, then Bai Mingshao's article is what the examiner likes. See the article From Bai Mingshao's article, we can see that Bai Mingshao can be a good official and a good official who does things for the people.
Compared with the three gentlemen, Bai Mingshao's article is not outstanding, and there is nothing worthy of reading more. When you don't read the name, you don't even know that this article is written by Bai Mingshao, but when you see the name, The queue had already come out early in the morning.
The examiner was wondering how the gap in tutoring in the Bai family could be so big. He checked Bai Mingshao's article overnight and read it, and the more he read, the weirder he felt.
It's not like you have mediocre qualifications and can't write anything, it looks like it's done deliberately...
If you read it carefully, it will reveal more than just what is stated on the paper...
Is it possible?
The examiner was uncertain, and he was afraid that he might have made a mistake and angered the Bai family to come to settle the score with him. After thinking about it for half the night, he decided to send a greeting note to Chang Ziming, who now had the most say in the court.
When he went to visit, the examiner thought for a while and took the papers of all the candidates from the Bai family. The papers were already out. As long as there were no real problems with the papers, no one would check them again.
When the examiner came to the door, Chang Ziming was feeding the fish in the yard. It was approaching winter, and there were not many fish in the pond.
The examiner just bowed his head and said, "I'd like to pay my respects to Mr. Chang."
Chang Ziming helped the examiner, his eyes were kind and gentle, but the examiner did not dare to look down on him.
Anyone who underestimates this person has already fallen into a big trap.
"Master Chaochang came to my door today because he has something to ask."
The examiner did not dare to say much, because the emperor liked the number one scholar a few years ago so much that he would occasionally call him into the palace to discuss court affairs with the ministers, showing his intention to cultivate and reuse him.
This is an honor that none of the later top picks have.
"Oh?" Chang Ziming looked at the papers handed over by the examiner with nothing on his face, and expressed his doubts in a gentle voice.
The examiner knew that this person was very good at what he did. If he didn't tell him his purpose, he wouldn't pay much attention to him. "Here are some papers from the Bai family. Please take a look inside..."
The examiner pulled out Bai Mingshao's paper and said, "It's very weird."
Chang Ziming remained motionless, his expression of warmth seemed to encourage a child to continue talking.
The examiner stabilized his mind with such a look in his eyes before continuing: "The official feels that this bastard in the second room of the Bai family is more than just Paibang."
Only then did Chang Ziming take the paper. When he read the article, he was so serious and focused that he didn't even notice. Only at this time could the emotions in his eyes feel real.
The examiner didn't say much until Chang Ziming finished reading, expecting to get some pointers, but he heard him say: "Don't pay any attention to it."
The examiner was a little confused, "This..."
What does this mean?
Chang Ziming smiled and said, "No matter whether the Bai family makes his own decisions or his own ideas, no one else can interfere."
The examiner was confused, but he still asked about his worries, "Several sons of the Bai family, even four girls in one room, have done well in the exam, but this co-endorser is so far apart. If the Bai family inquires..."
Chang Ziming, who never spoke before others had finished speaking, asked as if he heard something interesting: "Did the four girls in one room do well in the exam?"
The examiner was slightly stunned. Before he could turn his mind, his instinct in the officialdom had already made him take out the paper and handed it to Chang Ziming and said, "Yes, the literary talent of the fourth girl is extraordinary."
Chang Ziming smiled and said, "Yes, she is more knowledgeable than many men."
It was difficult for the examiner to accept this, after all, he was considered one of the men.
Chang Ziming did not take the paper from the examiner, but just said: "Go back. If you stay here for a long time, those people will think that I want you to be accommodating to someone."
The examiner heard something and was too embarrassed to stay any longer, so he left immediately. After thinking about it for a few times on the way, he had a possibility in his mind.
If this is really the case, the Bai family...
It's frightening.
The affairs between the two mansions in Kyoto did not attract much attention from ordinary people, but the Bai family's side made many people unable to take their eyes away.
A few of the one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments are on the list, not to mention that none of them are married!
Those who have daughters at home can't wait to put them into the Bai family immediately. Even some noble girls feel reassured that there will be no shortage of them once a banquet is held.
However, the Bai family did not hold such a banquet or even celebrate their children. They kept a low profile and did not let the children go out. As a result, several members of the family could not see these dazzling people.
Not seeing these people, some families in Kyoto placed their plans on Bai Mingzhi, who was also a woman. They asked their daughters to invite Bai Mingzhi out to play, and at the same time asked their daughters to say good things about their brother in front of Bai Mingzhi. Bai Mingzhi also tried various means to bring her brothers out to play.
Unfortunately, such a plan did not come true, because Bai Mingzhi did not respond to anyone's invitation, but remained silent like the rest of the family, obviously preparing for the exam.
Many wives and women in the back house yelled: "If it weren't for her brothers and the Bai family, who would care about her articles?! I really think I am such an incredible genius and still pick it up here! What? She didn’t agree to our promise, she is obviously determined to think that we ordinary people are not worthy of her! She wants to enter the palace and be the empress!"
But there are people who understand it clearly.
After Bai Mingzhi single-handedly fought her way through countless male candidates, people noticed her wisdom and the pattern that was not found in the back house. I don't know how many candidates who are also scholars fell in love with her, and the matchmaker who came to her door again It's not like she valued the Bai family and Bai Guo before, but Bai Mingzhi said that she was not as good as herself and she looked down on them.
At that time, countless matrons in various prefectures in Kyoto forced their sons to start studying, and there were even many candidates who started working hard on their own initiative.
So when Bai Guo came back to Kyoto, he didn't see too many dandies or younger men wandering the streets.
Even if Bai Mingzhi knew that she shouldn't stay here for the Bai family and herself, she hadn't seen her sister for a year.
Bai Mingzhi did not lose to reason after all, and followed Ging Guo every step of the way, just like the former Bai Mingzheng.
Bai Guo wanted to talk in Ni Dairou's courtyard. After all, she was going to the palace tonight, so she would have to go through a lot of trouble if she wanted to talk.
But before Bai Guo took a few steps, he saw Bai Mingsong and others walking from the road in the front yard. When they saw that Bai Guo was really back, the expressions on their faces changed from vague expectation to solemnity.
Bai Guo was about to salute Bai Mingsong and others when he called her brother when Bai Mingsong spoke first: "Are you worried about us?"
The ancestral teachings of the Bai family are not directed at one person, they are also members of the Bai family.
Bai Guo looked at the brothers and sisters in front of him and felt sour in his heart.
Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui are the same age as Pang Yang. At this age, most of them have already married and even had children. However, in their family, her mother was slow to talk to her in order to reduce the gossip in the back house. Don't let the two of them look at each other.
It seems that she will be able to get married later, and no one will laugh at her for being an old girl after they get married.
"I'm not worried." Bai Guo looked from Bai Mingsong to Bai Minglei one by one, "I miss my brothers."
The eyes of Bai Mingsong and Bai Minghui changed in an instant that was difficult to detect. Bai Minghui even asked before Bai Mingsong: "What happened?"
Now that there were many people in the palace, Bai Minghui did not directly ask if it was the high-ranking people in the palace who were causing trouble for her.
Bai Mingzheng's eyes darkened a little at the same time. For a while, without any expression on Ging Guo's face, he had already deduced dozens of reasons why Ging Guo might be wronged. One of them was that the emperor wanted to give the fifth princess to To Pang Yang.
