Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 50, truly a great talent, the first truly deserving of the title!

"Bai Yu? Hiss... who is this? I've never heard of them before, they must be from out of town!"

"Hui Yuan is actually not Ji Guangchong from the University?"

"I thought it would be the eldest son of the Liu family who would come out on top!"

"I never expected, never expected! It's actually this person!"

"I heard that His Majesty has issued an edict to meet with the examinee Bai Yu, is it the same person?"

...

Amidst the countless expectant and anxious gazes of scholars,

Amidst the curious gazes of countless common people,

The guards in armor posted the golden list with the names of each examinee on various bulletin boards in the city.

The long-awaited people rushed forward,

Immediately, their gazes focused on the top, the first name.

First place in the imperial examination, first class Hui Yuan, Bai Yu.

Second place, Ji Guangchong.

Third place, Liu Zhijie.

...

Bai Yu!

A name that ninety-nine percent of people have never heard of,

And now, it has become famous overnight!

Some people are curious about who he is, some are amazed, some are envious.

Everyone knows that this person has leaped over the highest gate like a carp.

In the future, he will surely rise rapidly, creating a gap between him and the ordinary people.

Everyone is discussing it.

The scholars quickly glanced at the list, hurriedly looking from the bottom up, hoping to find their own names.

"I made it!"

"I made it!"

Some people are overjoyed, their faces ecstatic.

There are also those who furrow their brows, looking at the list again and again as if they can't believe it.

Some people have pale faces, lost and disoriented.

The scores of the top candidates have brought out a variety of emotions from the people below.

"Bai Yu... is it?"

Among the crowd, there was a petite figure wearing a tattered cloak, concealing their figure and face.

After taking a deep look at the name of the top-ranked high school student,

They quickly and furtively left.

"I... I passed?"

At the end of the crowd, there was a beautiful woman holding a pen in her hand.

She stared at the list with a complex expression on her face.

From beginning to end,

But when she saw the last name at the very end, she couldn't help but be stunned.

'Ji Yao Yun' was prominently listed.

Just right, the last name.

Even she found it hard to believe and couldn't help but look at it again.

She opened her mouth and stammered.

In fact, she was not good at political affairs and policy discussions, nor was she good at answering questions about the "politics of emperors" that the emperor asked.

She had only read a few years of books, had some literary talent,

And had some confidence in poetry and the basic knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics.

But in other areas, she answered randomly.

She thought she did very poorly in the exam!

She had already given up hope and was ready to seek another way.

She just wanted to see the result out of curiosity, just in case,

But unexpectedly, she passed in a daze?

How did she pass?

Could it be... that the other scholars were all mediocre?

Suddenly, she seemed to think of something,

She raised her head abruptly and looked at the first place.

Bai Yu?

"A graceful lady, a gentleman's ideal partner~"

"Miss, I'd like to get to know you!"

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Bai Yu."

Suddenly, memories swirled,

The handsome face of that carefree scholar appeared in her mind.

"Is it him?!"

That person left a deep impression!

Having met once, it is unforgettable!

That young master... did he come in first on the exam?

"Listen to me, listen to me!"

"I think this Bai young master is truly talented. He came in first on the exam, and it is well-deserved!"

"Even the talented scholar Jiguangchong cannot compare!"

"Do you know what kind of poetry he wrote?"

"They are truly timeless masterpieces!"

...

Just then, the crowd became noisy,

One person excitedly started discussing with the people around.

"Oh?"

"What kind of poetry is it? Let's hear it!"

"I'm all ears!"

"I want to judge for myself, how remarkable is this Bai Huiyuan?"

...

The answers to questions about political figures in the imperial examination are generally not leaked to the public.

Officials need to maintain a gap in ideological class.

Moreover, the common people don't understand or care about these things.

However,

Poetry, being an artistic form, will still spread.

If the examinee does well and writes good poetry,

It will spread and gain recognition from the masses.

This also proves that there was no cheating involved.

Throughout history, the top scorers in the imperial examination would generally have their poetry praised by the people.

It serves as a topic for the common people to cultivate their sentiments and indulge in refined elegance.

They are all well-read and intelligent individuals, so there is not much difference!

"Listen to me!"

"This examination is about the general's expedition!"

The person with some flexible sources of information attracted everyone's attention and felt a bit proud for a moment.

With his head held high, as if Bai Yu came in first, he also felt a sense of pride.

"Bai Yu Huiyuan's response: 'Drunk, I pick up the lamp to see the sword, in my dreams I blow the horn in the camp...'"

He seemed to have some storytelling skills, with strong and rhythmic words.

Pointing the sword in his hand, he recited poetry with a heroic and unrestrained manner.

It was as if a seasoned general had taken the stage.

"...to settle the affairs of the emperor and the world, to win fame before and after death, pity the white hair that remains..."

As he reached the end, his tone seemed to become mournful as well.

The beauty with white hair, the hero in his twilight years,

These are the things that cannot be retained in the mortal world.

For a moment, there was an eerie silence in the scene.

After a brief silence,

"Clap clap clap!"

Someone, unknown, was the first to start applauding.

"Good!"

"Bravo!!"

"Bravo!!"

"What a great poem!"

"Wuwuwu...such talent!"

"I'm impressed!"

...

As if a switch had been turned on,

People's faces changed one by one, excited and flushed,

Continuously clapping their hands, praising and cheering.

Even the proud intellectuals couldn't help but sigh in admiration.

Truly worthy of being a top scholar!

I am no match!

Some even unconsciously shed tears for the old general with his aged face and white hair.

"...to settle the affairs of the emperor and the world, to win fame before and after death, pity the white hair that remains..."

At the end of the crowd,

Yao Yun listened to this poem and couldn't help but tremble.

Whispering softly,

She tightened the pen in her hand, her eyes turning red.
