In the end, Baicao couldn't stop Bai Ling from talking to Mrs. Yang, and I don't know what Bai Ling said. Mrs. Yang didn't stop Baicao from returning to her parents' house to recuperate, and sent Tan Xuehua home.
However, thinking of Mrs. Yang's attitude, Baicao couldn't help but feel sad and had no hope for the future.
Because Baicao was in poor health, Bai Ling stayed at the house to accompany Baicao to avoid any complications for her, except to go to Princess Yayang for follow-up consultation.
Shangguan Yu had to choose a time when he came to visit, otherwise Bai Ling would not have time to pay attention to him, so he was very depressed about this, but he couldn't talk about it, so he could only write a letter to tell Yang Fan about the Yang family's affairs, so that he could solve it as soon as possible.
Zidong City.
Bai Xiaoshan passed the scholar examination again and was still the head of the case, completely becoming a minor celebrity.
"Mom and Dad, I want to go to Beijing." Bai Xiaoshan looked at his parents, his childish little face was full of seriousness and said: "I want to participate in the Spring Festival next year."
"Xiaoshan, how about you study in the capital for a few more years? You are still young now, and you can't become an official even if you pass the exam. I heard that there are a lot of dark things in the officialdom, so you'd better learn more.
"Didn't your second sister suggest that you go on a study tour?" Bai Sanshu said worriedly.
Mrs. Bai Liu also agreed, worried that Bai Xiaoshan would take an official career so early.
"I have already thought about it. The foundation of our family is too weak. I have taken the exam three times in a row. Even if Chunwei doesn't get a good rank in the exam, he will still be remembered by the royal family and his future future will be good.
I'm still young, so if I don't pass the exam, I'll just take it as an experience. If I pass, I won't worry about a bad ranking. I can't be an official anyway, so it's still time for me to practice again." Bai Xiaoshan informed his family after careful consideration.
The Liu family did not go back to Nanshan Village because Bai Xiaoshan had to take the government examination again.
After listening to Bai Xiaoshan's words, Liu Zhenyou took a deep look at his grandson and said with admiration: "Xiaoshan's analysis is good. When he goes to take the Chunwei test, no matter what the result is, there will be pros and cons.
He has passed the Xiaoshan Mansion Examination twice, and together with the Tongsheng Examination, he has already passed the exam three times in a row. He can be regarded as a Xiao Sanyuan. The court will take it seriously. Instead of waiting until someone wants to win over him, it is better to take the Chunwei exam now.
, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.”
"My second cousin will marry to the Han Palace in the future. It is a good thing to have a promising younger brother. No one will think that my cousin relies on the Han Palace to achieve future success." Liu Xusheng said: "I have decided to marry my cousin.
I went to Beijing with my brother to attend the Spring Festival."
Liu Xusheng's grades were not bad either. Although he might have been at the end of his career when he went to attend the Spring Festival, he was already entering an official career.
Moreover, since the Liu family has no backers, Liu Xusheng's future career will only start from the lowest official level, and the ranking is not that important.
My cousins have all expressed their support, and my family members naturally support it.
So Bai Sanshu contacted the escort agency and went to Beijing with a letter of recommendation. He also had to write a letter home to Sister Bai Ling.
As for the flowing water banquet in the village, it would still have to be organized without these two scholars, and no one would complain.
After all, studying is more important and you can’t delay it, right?
Some people are happy and some are sad about the re-examination of the government examination. After all, not everyone has a good mentality. Every time you enter the examination room, it is a mental test as well as a physical test.
But this time the emperor decreed that the government examinations should be retaken, and those who can be nominated to be scholars are all genuine, and their future prospects will be better than those of previous scholars. This is also a disguised consolation.
Not to mention the large banquet in Nanshan Village, Bai Xiaoshan and Liu Xusheng accompanied the escort agency to Beijing, but encountered someone who robbed the escort on the way.
The escort agency had to protect the employer's escorts as well as the accompanying groups of guests. It was very difficult, and most of them were injured or killed.
If Bai Ling hadn't arranged for someone to secretly protect Bai Xiaoshan and help him at the critical moment, the group would have either been hacked to death or kidnapped by the robbers.
"Thank you all heroes for your help. On behalf of the Chengwei Escort Agency, I would like to thank you all. I will never refuse if I have any use for the Chengwei Escort Agency in the future." The person in charge dragged his wounds and saluted the people who were protecting Bai Xiaoshan.
"We have been ordered to protect the young master. You don't have to say thank you." Old Wu covered his face with a turban and cupped his hands towards Bai Xiaoshan and said, "I don't know if the robbers have any other tricks. The young master should set off quickly to avoid any mistakes."
Bai Xiaoshan frowned and glanced at the escorts from the Chengwei Escort Bureau, as well as the few companions who had not spoken much but were trembling with fear. After all, he couldn't bear it.
"Can you escort them for a while?" Bai Xiaoshan looked at Lao Wu, his attitude was polite and somewhat pleading, "The escort agency was too badly damaged. These people are old, weak, women and children. If we leave now and encounter danger again,
I'm afraid they won't be able to resist."
Bai Xiaoshan learned that Lao Wu was the person Bai Ling arranged to protect him, so he felt free to follow them.
But the people in the third room of the Bai family are kind-hearted, and Bai Xiaoshan has studied for so many years, and he can't do nothing to save him.
"Everything is at your command, young master." Old Wu frowned and looked at the person in charge of the escort bureau with some difficulty, but he did not say a word of rejection.
"Uncle, we have medicine for injuries on the carriage, which may not be enough. But my second sister prepared it for me personally. It is better than what is in the hospital. Give medicine to the seriously injured first. Let's set off as soon as possible." Bai Xiaoshan said to him.
The person in charge said: "When we get to the next city, I will make arrangements for the next trip and report to the official."
Although Lao Wu was sent here by Bai Ling, Bai Xiaoshan would not take everything on him.
If problems arise later, I'm afraid someone will rely on them.
Although Bai Xiaoshan is kind-hearted, he will not blindly be a good person knowing that he will cause trouble.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Bai. I will remember this kindness and will definitely repay it in the future!" the person in charge said gratefully.
The person in charge knew Bai Xiaoshan's identity, and he took good care of him along the way, but more importantly, he respected him.
Scholars already have a high status, and since Bai Xiaoshan can achieve such achievements at such a young age, his future is limitless.
Not to mention Bai Xiaoshan itself, the Bai family also has a place in Zixiao City, especially the ordinary people, who are all grateful to the Bai family for their good deeds and for driving the North to become rich.
The Escort Bureau also prepared medicine for wounds, but how could it be as good as the medicine prepared by Princess Jixiang, who is known as the little miracle doctor?
A bottle of medicine may be the life of a brother. This favor must be returned!
Liu Xusheng's face turned pale. He had seen people die due to natural disasters, but this was the first time he saw a killing scene. He was filled with fear.
"My cousin is ashamed of his calmness." Liu Xusheng smiled bitterly.
"Nanshan Village was once invaded by bandits, and many people died." Bai Xiaoshan recalled the scene where the village was filled with the smell of blood, frowning and said: "If the world is not stable, the bandits cannot be completely wiped out. Today we are lucky
I can survive, but I don’t know how many people died on this road, and I don’t know how many such hells there are.”
Liu Xusheng was startled. He was older than Bai Xiaoshan, but he was less calm and calm when things happened, and he didn't think about current events.
At this moment, Liu Xusheng finally understood why Bai Xiaoshan could achieve such good results in the imperial examination at such a young age.
"The Zixiao Army is stationed in Zixiao City, and they have always cracked down on bandits. Even if there are some that cannot be taken into consideration, it is much better than other places. Now the people can already eat well, and those who fall into the trap of becoming bandits can no longer make a living by doing nothing.
They used it as an excuse to rob property and hurt people's lives. But the thieves are unwilling to submit to the court, so cleaning up the thieves is also..." (To be continued)
