[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

The protest march that Bai Yuan said was the rhythm of making troubles. Wang Yue immediately tightened the string in his head and became vigilant, but he didn't show the slightest nervousness on the surface, but smiled indifferently. : "After all, it was a failure in the exam. There is also a moment of resentment. After the recovery, everyone will naturally calm down."

What he said was extremely calm, but it was very different from the general students' behavior when they heard the news. The students who could think of the consequences were all shocked when they heard the news, and quickly evaded it, for fear that they would be contaminated by such a thing. , this made Bai Yuan undecided for a while, wondering if Wang Yue didn't hear it, or was he too calm?

It shouldn't be, he was an extremely agile and wise person when he acted that day, could it be that he was wrong, this person is a stick?

Bai Yuan didn't give up, he still had some confidence in his vision, not to mention, he had also heard about this Wang Yue from that person, who spoke highly of him, he couldn't believe that it was rare to get a word from that person. The eloquent Wang Yue failed to understand what he meant.

However, his own self-control is extremely strong. Even though he was surprised, he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He just followed Wang Yue's words: "I hope to be like what you said, but you also know that young man It’s best to charge forward with enthusiasm, after this exam, those candidates who failed the exam already have a resentment in their hearts, if they are instigated again, I’m afraid there will be another storm.”

While talking, Bai Yuan rolled his eyes calmly, looked Wang Yue up and down, trying to find some clues from him, and soon, he noticed that Wang Yue's sleeves were slightly wrinkled, and his eyes immediately caught this point He stared closely at the change for a small change, and soon, his hawk-like eyes allowed him to see the movement in Wang Yue's sleeve, and the flicking fingers from time to time revealed that the master's true mood was not as good as his surface expression He was so calm, Bai Yuan secretly smiled in his heart, this little fox was almost tricked by him.

Bai Yuan's eyes turned slightly, and he saw that the other four people in the room were talking at the same time, and he didn't pay attention to their side, so he lowered his voice slightly, and joked: "Xiao Wu is rare to be calm. The news, either quickly stated that this matter has nothing to do with you, for fear of causing trouble, or it is filled with righteous indignation and criticism, if it is involved in this matter, then you must have a guilty conscience, but you have no reaction, so, Xiao Five, can you tell me why?"

Wang Yue looked up at him, then quickly avoided his gaze, turned to look at the crowd outside the window, where some people were smiling excitedly, some were disappointed, and some were crying.

Wang Yue smiled slightly and said: "I'm just staying out of the matter. I'm confident in my knowledge, not to mention that everyone knows my talent. No matter what happens, I can't be involved. Why should I act like you said?" Performance?"

"Oh? Really?" Bai Yuan was not in a hurry at the moment, he put away the folding fan in his hand, leaned against the wall, casually pointed the fan at Wang Yue's cuff, and said with a smile: "Since you are not in a hurry, What about your hand?"

When Wang Yue heard his words, his first reaction was to hide his sleeves behind his back, but he soon realized that he had been exposed, and it didn't matter whether he hid or not, but he was even more sure that it would be no good for Bai Yuan to find him.

Otherwise, with Bai Yuan's way of dealing with things, even if he finds out that he is hiding something, he will never expose him, and it is more likely that he is considerate and pretends not to see it, and hide it for him.

Guessing what was going on in Bai Yuan, and seeing that he had made up his mind this time, there was a posture that he would not let it go easily, so Wang Yue simply stopped hiding, and asked straightforwardly: "Tell me, what is it that you came to find me?" thing?"

Bai Yuan tilted his head slightly, and his smile became brighter: "Why, stop pretending?"

"Pretend you don't let me go, tell me, it shouldn't be a trivial matter to let a dignified and talented person out!"

The phrase "great talent" is really not ironic. Most of the scholars are arrogant. Even if Bai Yuan has superb skills, he would never be so easy to subdue the group of heaven's favorites in the Imperial College. Bai Yuan's initial fame was due to his talent , and then just like some male protagonists, there were unconvinced door-to-door challenges, Bai Yuan defeated them, and then used some tricks to convince them, this opened the situation, and then gradually became a student of the Imperial College leader in.

Many of Wang Yue's classmates are Bai Yuan's fanboys, and they admire him in every possible way, just like modern star fans treat their idols, so Wang Yue pays more attention to Bai Yuan.

Wang Yue was on the sidelines and watched with cold eyes. For the first time, he saw Bai Yuan's character clearly. Although Bai Yuan claimed to treat everyone equally on the surface, that was just a claim. In some of his words and deeds, Wang Yue found that he was not what he said on the surface, but that he intended to make friends with those classmates who were outstanding or had a difficult family background.

Like this kind of person, even if he says that he is as pure as a white lotus on the surface, but he is very utilitarian in his heart. This kind of person is very ambitious. In other words, it is not a trivial matter that can startle him.

"Well, since you are so direct, then I won't beat around the bush. Have you heard the news I just said?"

Wang Yue shook his head and said: "My relatives have a house, which is next to the Gongyuan. I have lived here for a few days during the exam, and after the exam, I will go home and stay in the house all the time. When I went out, I didn’t have much contact with other candidates. No one approached me to encourage me to participate in the protest march, and this is the first time I’ve heard the news you said.”

"It's no wonder that if you don't go out of the gate like this, those people will naturally not be able to find you. After the exam is over, they should know that you are very promising in the exam this time. Naturally, they know that there is no way to impress you. No wonder you are the first one. I heard it for the first time."

"What about you? What's your plan? Standing on the sidelines, or planning to get involved? But I don't think your posture seems to be staying out of it, but you don't know what you want to do?"

Bai Yuan didn't answer this question immediately, but said: "This time the imperial examinations are full of excitement, but anyone with eyes knows that this is just a dispute between reformists and conservatives. Speaking of which, I I don't know which side you plan to stand on, but as far as I know, those two relatives of your family are solid conservatives, which side are you on?"

Wang Yue just laughed, but did not answer his question. His relationship with Bai Yuan was not good enough to take his political stand out.

Bai Yuan was a little helpless at his cautiousness, he smiled and shook his head and said, "I know it even if you don't tell me, it's not enough to get the first place only by arithmetic, your strategies should be very popular with the chief examiner, I don't need you Say I know which side you're on, too."

Hearing what he said, Wang Yue just remembered that there was no way to hide his position any longer. Bai Yuan didn't need to speculate that his position would be fully exposed when their test papers were posted later.

While thinking about it, Wang Yue carefully observed Bai Yuan's face, and saw that he seemed very satisfied with his position, so he guessed that Bai Yuan should also be a reformist, which made him feel more at ease. At least the two belonged to the same faction, so Don't worry about the faction wars involved.

But even so, Wang Yue can't be completely relieved, even if it's the same faction, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be used as a knife by others. People like Bai Yuan really can't let people rest assured to hand over their backs to him.

Seeing that Wang Yuan didn't answer his words, Bai Yuan knew that Wang Yue still didn't trust him, but he didn't force it, just smiled and said: "You don't have to worry too much, I just asked you to do something. It will do you no harm, and there is no risk."

"The conditions are so good, why don't you do it yourself? Besides, there are many people around you, no matter how you look at it, I, a stranger, can't do it, right?"

"Only you can handle this matter." Bai Yuanshao glanced at the two people who followed him, saw their urging expressions, and knew in his heart that Wang Yue won the first place today, and the only person who wanted to deal with him was He was afraid that there would be too many of them, and his people would not be able to stop him for long, so he stopped making detours and said straightforwardly: "I want to invite you to start the class in two days."

"Starting class? Didn't you agree to next month?"

"I'm afraid it will be too late next month."

Wang Yue thought about it carefully for a while, and soon understood his plan, "Do you want me to attract the attention of these candidates?"

"Yes and no, this is only one aspect, and on the other hand, it also gives them hope. In fact, except for those who really have no brains, most candidates know what the consequences will be if they take to the streets to protest the game, and when they really There is only one reason for choosing this path, and that is that there is no hope. Your math class let them know that even if the court continues to increase the proportion of math, they still have hope. At most, they will come back again in three years. They're still young anyway."

"But wouldn't that mean that I've ruined the affairs of the conservatives? Can they not bother me?" Wang Yue's first reaction was not how much credit this matter had, but whether this matter would bring him trouble. This is not the last life, he has a family background to rely on, and as long as he doesn't break the bottom line, no one will dare to trouble him for whatever he wants to do.

But this time is different, now he comes from a poor family, but he is just a commoner, even if he has a reputation for raising people, those people can't trouble him, and it's hard to guarantee that they won't touch his family.

Bai Yuan was a little perplexed by his reaction, and couldn't understand his timidity and caution, "This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. You have to understand that you have saved the future of many scholars by doing this. As long as you reveal a little bit afterwards, those people I absolutely want to be grateful to you, Dade, which is much more than the gratitude you can get from any lectures. What's more, those adults in the court, and your majesty may see your actions, so that, You can leave a good impression in their hearts, which will be of great benefit to your future career, so what if such a good thing is risky? You must know that things in the world are never free, and you must pay a price if you want to get benefits .”

Bai Yuan only thought that Wang Yue only wanted to get the benefits and didn't want to pay the price, so his evaluation of him inevitably dropped a little bit, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart that he seemed to be a smart person, but he was also short-sighted if he didn't want to.

Wang Yue didn't care about his misunderstanding, but said: "But what if I don't want to get these benefits."

"how is this possible?"

Bai Yuan absolutely didn't believe Wang Yue's words, he thought that Wang Yue was just playing hard to get, and he just wanted to use this matter to get more benefits from him!

So even though he was a little impatient in his heart, he still patiently explained to her on the surface: "You should know my temperament. According to my personality, I will never step into such muddy water easily, but this time The matter is not simple, and His Highness the Crown Prince personally intervened."

When Bai Yuan mentioned the words His Royal Highness, he deliberately lowered his voice, which made his voice more mysterious. If ordinary people listened to these words and thought of the benefits behind this matter, they would have already been tempted and bewitched by him go.

It's just that Wang Yue is not an ordinary person. He is still very calm and unmoved: "I'm sorry, Senior Brother Bai, I'm afraid you have found the wrong person. I am not trying to get you, nor is I deliberately looking for benefits from you. I am nothing. Ambitious, I just want to protect my family! If this matter is a little careless, I am afraid that my family will be involved. This is something I absolutely don’t want to see, so let’s replace you, brother, with you There are so many talents, it shouldn’t be difficult to find someone who is better at math than me.”

After saying this, in order to show her firm attitude, Wang Yue turned around and left without leaving any room for Bai Yuan's fantasy. Only then did Bai Yuan realize that what Wang Yue said was true, only based on his daily contact with It never occurred to me that there are people in the world who would give up their easy-to-get fame and fortune for the sake of their so-called family members.

Bai Yuan watched Wang Yue walk out of the private room, and suddenly remembered that when he came, that person scoffed at his plan and said directly that he would never succeed. Thinking of the friendship between the two, Bai Yuan suddenly understood why that person said so much. affim.

At the same time, he also understood why this Wang Yue was able to stay by that person's side for so long.

Now he is more interested in Wang Yue.

It's just that Wang Yue is a key part of his plan, it is indispensable, and he must be persuaded.

And it's not as simple as what Wang Yue said, if he can really find someone around him who surpasses Wang Yue in arithmetic, why bother to talk so much here, and insist on giving the benefits to outsiders?

At this time, the candidates who were chattering in the restaurant had already spotted Wang Yue, and rushed forward to congratulate him. He was young, talented, and seemed to be a man. Who would not want to make friends with such a high-quality network? Woolen cloth?

What's more, if Wang Yueruo really gave lectures, even if he charged some fees, more than half of the candidates would owe him favors. If he could make more people through him, it would be a great opportunity.

Seeing that it was his turn to talk to Wang Yue, Bai Yuan knew that he had no chance today, so after thinking about it for a while, he winked at the two people he brought over and left.

After all, this is not a good place to talk. Next time I visit his house directly, and I don’t have any scruples in doing things. I should be able to persuade him better. At worst, I just ask someone to speak good words for him. Anyway, there will be a later date!
