Strange Tales: You're an Official, but you're raising a bunch of Demonessess? - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: You really are a great talent. The number one is well deserved!

“Bai Yu? Hiss… who is this? Outsiders, I’ve never heard of him!”

“Isn’t the top scorer Ji Guangchong from the university?”

“I thought it was the eldest son of the Liu Scout’s family who would come out on top!”

“I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it! It turned out to be this person!”

“I heard that His Majesty once ordered to meet the candidate Bai Yu. Is it the same person?”

…

Under the expectant and apprehensive eyes of countless scholars and the gaze of ordinary people watching the excitement, guards in military armour posted the gold list with the nominations of each candidate on city bulletin boards.

The long-awaited people rushed forward, immediately focusing on the top, the first name. The first in the meeting, the first class in the meeting, Bai Yu. Second place, Jiguangchong. Third place, Liu Zhijie.

…

Bai Yu!

A name that ninety-nine percent of people have never heard of, but now, it was once famous!

Some people were curious about who he was, some were emotional, and some were envious.

Everyone knew this person was the carp that jumped the tallest in the Dragon Gate. It should steadily rise in the future, widening the gap with ordinary people.

There was a lot of discussion. Scholars took a quick glance, hoping to find their names from the list.

“I hit it!”

“I hit it!”

Some people are overjoyed, with crazy faces. Some people frowned tightly and read it repeatedly as if they didn’t believe it.

Some people were pale and lost their souls. A few ratings from high-ranking people let the people below show all kinds of life.

“Bai Yu…?”

A petite person among the crowd was wearing a tattered cloak covering his figure and face. After only taking a deep look at the name of the top high school student, he sneaked away and left in a hurry.

“Did I… win?”

At the end of the crowd, a beautiful woman was holding a sum of money. Looking at the list steadily, she had a complicated expression on her face.

From the beginning to the end, but when she saw the last name at the end, she couldn’t help being stunned for a moment.

“Ji Yaoyun“ is impressive on the list.

Just right, the last name. She couldn’t believe it herself, so she couldn’t help but look more. Opening his mouth, he murmured in a stuttering voice.

In fact, she was not good at policy theory, nor was she good at the question of the emperor’s government asked by the emperor. She had only read books for a few years and was confident in her poetry and basic knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics. But in the rest of the place, it was a random answer.

She thought she did very poorly on the exam!

Initially, I gave up hope, ready to find another way.

I wanted to take a look, but I didn’t want to, and I fell into it in a daze.

How did she hit it?

Could it be that… the rest of the scholars are mediocre?

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head and looked at Number One.

Bai Yu?

“My fair lady, a gentleman is so good~.”

“Girl, I want to meet you!”

“Let me introduce myself. My name is Bai Yu.”

Suddenly, the memory swirled, and the handsome face of the wandering scholar appeared in his mind.

“It’s him?!”

That man is impressive! Once you see it, you will never forget it!

That young man… Did he get first place in the exam?

“Listen to me, listen to me!”

Mr. Bai is really talented. He got first place, and he truly deserves it!”

“Even the talented Ji Guangchong can’t compare to him!”

“Do you know what poems he wrote?”

“It’s really an ancient quatrain!”

…

At this moment, the crowd became a little noisier, and one person couldn’t help talking to the people around him with some excitement.

“Oh?”

“I want to make a judgment call. How good is this, Bai Yun?”

…

Students in the imperial examinations would not spread the answers to questions about political leaders.

Officers who manage people naturally want to realise the fault of ideological class. But people didn’t understand these things, and they didn’t care about them.

However, things of a literary and artistic nature, such as poetry, would still be handed down. Candidates did well in the exam, and the poems were well done, spread out, and recognised by the public.

This also proved that there was no favouritism. People have always praised the top few winners of scientific examinations for their poems. They were all well-read and intelligent people and were not far behind!

“Listen to me!”

“This scientific expedition is for the general to conquer the battlefield!”

The person with some flexible news channels attracted everyone’s attention and was a little proud for a while. He held his head and chest high as if Bai Yu won first place and was also honoured.

“Bai Yu Huiyuan said to him, ‘Looking at the sword with the lamp on while drunk, dreaming back to the camp with trumpet blowing…'”

He had some storytelling skills. His words were sonorous and cadenced. Comparing swords in hands, reciting poems boldly and willfully. It was as if the old general was on his upper body.

“… to get rid of the king’s world affairs, to win the name afterlife, poor white occurrence…”

In the end, his tone seemed to become sad. For a while, the scene was eerily silent.

After a moment of silence, “Papa Papa!”

I don’t know who was the first to applaud.

“Good!”

“Colored!!!”

“Good poetry! Good poetry!”

“Who, A Great Talent!”

“I’m convinced!”

…

It was as if a switch had been turned on. Everyone’s complexion changed. Fleshed with excitement, he couldn’t help clapping my hands and applauding. Even the proud scholars couldn’t help sighing secretly.

Worthy of being Huiyuan!

I might as well!

What’s more, she unconsciously shed tears for the pale-haired veteran.

“To finish the king’s world affairs, to win the name afterlife, poor white hair…”

And at the end of the crowd, Yaoyun couldn’t help being shocked when he heard this poem.

Can’t help whispering.

He tightened the pen in his hand, and his eyes were flushed.
