Chapter 792 Good Sisters Indeed

Bai Yunxi sat on the carriage and looked at Wenyou, "By the way, I was just so happy that I forgot to ask, how is Xie Yu? Is he on the list?"

"Xie Dalangjun is fifth, and he is also a Jinshi."

Hearing Wenyou's tone, Bai Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then spoke softly after a moment of silence,

"I thought Xie Yu was going to win the first prize and come back to Guangzong Yaozu, but I didn't expect that the first prize fell on Xiao Wu's head. Things are really unpredictable."

It is said that 70% of strength and 30% of luck are 50%. Xiaowu estimates that the balance between strength and luck is 50%.

Listening to Bai Yunxi's regret, Wenyou chuckled lightly,

"It's not bad to get fifth place in the exam. Students from all over the country are gathered together, and they are all rare talents. There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people. Although Xie Dalangjun's talent is good, after all, it is tainted with too many trivial family matters, and it will inevitably affect him. Thoughts.”

"I have also heard a lot in Kyoto. The imperial court uses subjects to collect talents from all over the world. The purpose is to measure their proficiency in classics, theory to measure their knowledge, and policies to measure their talents. When selecting talents to govern the country, they must be outstanding in policy and theory. ”

Listening to Wenyou's tone, Baiyunxi was silent. This was indeed true.

Policy papers are articles with policies and current affairs as the writing content. In fact, they are also the argumentative papers of later generations.

The writing of policy papers is basically the same as that of argumentative papers. Arguments, arguments and argumentation processes are indispensable. The only difference is that after a policy paper establishes an argument for a specific problem, its argumentation process must include specific methods and measures to solve the problem.

Argumentative essays do not have this requirement.

In today's policy essays, most of the questions are focused on current political affairs and important events of ancient and modern times, allowing students to express themselves freely. What is tested is the students' wisdom, opinions and ability to serve as officials. If you become an official, whether you care about the country and whether you can serve the court can be answered from the policy.

Xiao Wu was lucky. He was devoted to his studies. All he studied and thought about were macro issues such as court politics and the well-being of the people. He was a hero.

The examiner is in the court, has experienced the blood and turmoil of the officialdom, secretive calculations, and has many thoughts like a hornet's nest. Seeing Xiao Wu's sincere article, it just happened to highlight the examiner's weakness, which is luck.

Xie Yu's life experience is destined to make his mind unable to be pure, he thinks too much, and there is too much internal friction in the family, which affects his mood, and his views and judgments on things must be different. In fact, people with richer experiences have more accurate views on things.

But if you are unlucky and happen to meet an upright examiner, the article will easily become controversial.

She also understood the national conditions of the Song Dynasty. The court has always been divided into several factions, not to mention Wen and Wu who are naturally opposed to each other. There are also Xungui who protect the interests of the clan and belong to the conservative faction. Naturally, there are also innovative factions who come from poor families and care about the people. .

The two factions have been at odds over the years, and several reforms in the court have ended in failure. The innovations only harmed the interests of the nobles. Naturally, those deep-rooted clan nobles did not agree. Not only did they strongly oppose it, they also joined forces with the clan forces to fight against it.

It is normal for the court to have disagreements, but if there is an imbalance, it will be detrimental to the court.

As an official, he naturally doesn't want to see one thing go down and the other go up. Taking advantage of the three-year palace examination to select talents is also to add new blood to the poor bachelors, who can't stop breathing and fighting endlessly.

Being in the center of power in the court, it is not easy to be alone. We can wait until Xiaowu comes back from Kyoto.

As long as the good news reaches the local area from Kyoto, their family will have a firm foothold in this hundred-mile radius. No one will dare to provoke easily again, and the first step will be considered stable.

The family was always ready for the big event, and everyone was in high spirits. Not only did they make new clothes, but they also embroidered exquisite auspicious patterns.

The Song Wang family who came to visit was very confused. She pulled Bai Yunxi and nuzzled at her, "Tell me quickly, is there any big happy event at home?"

Seeing the rich gossip in Mrs. Song's eyes, Bai Yunxi trembled the corner of her mouth, "There is a big happy event, but the news hasn't been delivered yet, so I mentioned it rashly. If something goes wrong, my old face may not be saved." ”

Seeing the unconcealed joy in Bai Yunxi's brows, Mrs. Song Wang turned her head and looked at the exquisitely maintained courtyard, with a faint suspicion in her heart.

"Is there any news about Xiao Wu?"

Oh my God, if Xiaowu passes the exam again, it will be like smoke rising from the graves of ancestors.

Ever since Xiao Wu started taking the scientific examination, it has been a smooth journey. He has never wasted an opportunity. He is simply a genius.

Hearing Song Wang's inner voice, Bai Yunxi curled up his lips and said, "Just as you think, the news Wenyou brought back should be true. But without the good news from the government, I can't publicize it, lest others talk about it. ”

Mrs. Song covered her mouth and looked at her with wide eyes, "Oh, my God, your Xiaowu is Wenquxing who descended to earth."

She never missed once she made a move, and she would be the first to not believe it if it wasn't Wenquxing.

Normally, her son is also smart, but compared with Xiao Wuyi, he has an immediate impact. This gap makes her even jealous.

Sure enough, people can't compare with others, and it's easy to get frustrated.

Just when Mrs. Song was feeling emotional, Bai Yunxi held her in his arms and winked at her.

"To be honest, I was also surprised this time. I didn't expect Xiao Wu to perform so well... I can only say that the boy was lucky and met an examiner who admired him."

Listening to Bai Yunxi's tone, Mrs. Song Wang gave her an angry look.

"This is not luck, but strength. Our Xiaowu is Wenquxing and is destined to be an official. Having Xiaowu standing here is also an inspiration to Jie Geer. Maybe Jie Geer will also be able to take the next provincial examination. What a harvest.”

Her brother Jie was interrupted from studying because of family pressure. But compared with the ups and downs of Yunxi's family, the troubles in their family were nothing.

In those years, Yunxi's family lived in a thatched house for a living. They went into the mountains before dawn every day. In order to find food, they almost stepped into the hinterland of the mountains, a place where only hunters dared to enter. Bai Yunxi, a mentally retarded woman who once did not even go to the fields, was willing to take risks for the sake of survival.

The family lived a hard life. She still remembered that Xiaowu was gloomy at that time, especially his eyes, which were a bit scary. At that time, she felt sorry and thought that Xiaowu's temper might be bad.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for a while, Xiaowu not only became stronger, but also changed. At that time, she couldn't help but sigh and said to the head of the family that Yunxi's children were different from before.

What did the head of the family say at that time?

When people are hungry, don't talk about other things.

Later, she also believed that the family could live a good life together. Only when they experience the difficulty of life can they change.

Listening to Song Wang's thoughts, Bai Yunxi was also stunned. She was indeed a sister she valued, with different views and ideas.
