Chapter 792: Selecting an official is about to come
In the ninth year of Jinghe, mid-November.
In the outskirts of Chang'an, the National Academy.
It had just fallen into heavy snow, and the foothills of the Qingshan Mountain were covered with a thick layer of snow, so the mountain road was cut off.
However, the students in and out of the National Academy were not affected.
I saw a flying bus slowly landing in the snow fog. The hot stream sprayed melted the surrounding snow for a circle before it landed steadily at the gate of the National Academy.
In the layers of fog that rose, the car door opened with a "click" and the students returning from Chang'an came out one after another.
Wen Weilan is also in it.
"Wenwen, you're finally here."
Lin Shuying has been waiting at the door for a long time.
As soon as he saw Wen Weilan, he took the initiative to step forward.
Behind her was Wang Dongdong carrying a bright red spear.
"Yes." Wen Weilan nodded, his eyes falling on the spear on Wang Dongdong's back.
Wang Dongdong's face turned red: "Cough cough, thank you... this spear."
Wen Weilan said calmly: "No need to thank you, as long as you think it is useful."
After all, this was the weapon that Liu Sheng asked her to hand over.
However, because they could not tell the source clearly, Wang Dongdong's gratitude fell on her, which made the relationship between the two inexplicably a little awkward.
Lin Shuying glanced at Wang Dongdong and said with a smile: "She doesn't just think it's useful, she can't put it down."
"I stayed day and night, even with my back on my back when I was eating and sleeping, and I almost fell asleep with my gun in my arms. I danced in the corridor, but was warned by the National Academy that it was 'dance of swords and guns in the non-martial arts field that affected the order of the Academy'."
"But she told her to let go, but she refused..."
Wang Dongdong's face suddenly turned red and he hurriedly interrupted: "Shuying!"
"I'm not preparing for fighting at any time!" she said with confidence, "You don't know, the atmosphere in the National Academy now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shuying's smile slightly lowered and his expression became a little serious.
Wen Weilan keenly noticed the change in the atmosphere and said, "You asked me to come back..."
"I won't say it here for now."
Lin Shuying's eyes turned around between the people coming and going in front of the National Academy, shook her head gently, and signaled to go in and talk.
The three of them walked into the gate side by side, but Wang Dongdong turned around and looked at the flying bus that slowly took off, and sighed:
"It's so much snow, fortunately there is Feitian Bath in your Qingyun Pavilion..."
"Bus." Wen Weilan corrected.
"Yes, bus." Wang Dongdong muttered, "This word sounds strange, where did it come from?"
Wen Weilan smiled without saying a word.
Lin Shuying continued, "However, your Qingyun Pavilion is now full of glory."
"First, we launched a hearse suitable for families and individuals, and then developed this convenient 'bus' suitable for short-distance round trips. I heard that in the near future, even a speed suitable for long-distance travel will be released. A day and a day is not a dream, is this true?"
Wen Weilan Weiwei said: "That's right, I have been following the Minister of Works Ling in various parts of the Tang Dynasty during this period, just to discuss the construction of the station."
"No wonder you have never been seen recently." Lin Shuying suddenly realized.
Wen Weilan: "It's true that I've been busy lately."
Lin Shuying smiled: "That's because Qingyun Pavilion has developed well. I heard that it has already spread out branches in major cities. Anyway, you have already sacrificed your life and there is no class to attend in the National Academy."
While the two were talking, Wang Dongdong suddenly looked slightly dim and his voice became a little lower: "I don't know... Shengsheng knows this."
"She will know, of course." Wen Weilan said confidently. Wang Dongdong was slightly stunned, then showed a bitter smile: "...Yes, she will know."
However, the word "恋" in the two people's mouths has completely different meanings.
Lin Shuying looked at Wang Dongdong with pity.
Wang Dongdong also looked at Wen Weilan with pity.
Wen Weilan is facing away from him, so he doesn't know.
Walking to the uninhabited corridor, the atmosphere became quieter with the falling snow, and Lin Shuying took the initiative to speak:
"Wenwen, I asked you to come today because there is someone who wants you to meet."
Wen Weilan turned around, curiosity flashed in her eyes: "Who is worthy of your 100,000-year-old?"
"It's there." Lin Shuying raised her hand and pointed to Mingjing Hall at the end of the corridor.
Mingjing Hall is a place dedicated to community activities in the National Academy. The hall has long tables and benches, which are spacious in layout and can accommodate hundreds of people.
At this moment, a timid voice was echoing in the hall, not very loud, but you could vaguely hear it when you walked to the back door.
"We... are about to usher in the election of the official exam. As poor children, what is our way out? Perhaps, we should seriously think about how to choose, how to create more value for ourselves, for the Tang Kingdom, and for the world..."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Wen Weilan slowly looked inside through the back window in the expectant eyes of Wang Dongdong and Lin Shuying.
There were many people sitting in the Mingjing Hall. The one who spoke at the front was a petite girl with red cheeks.
"Changes are imminent now. Because of Skynet, our lives are undergoing great changes, and we also know that there are some things we can no longer ignore..."
Although her voice was cowardly, she spoke clearly, and her tone contained an inexplicable infectious force, which made people unable to help but listen and believe.
After the words came to an end, the students in the classroom started to talk in a low voice.
The girl took a breath and continued, "Now, the Guangming Society, established based on the Guangming Forum, is our opportunity to strive for the future..."
Wen Weilan asked in a low voice: "Are these people from our Guangming Society?"
Lin Shuying and Wang Dongdong both nodded.
Wen Weilan is clear.
Most of these people are poor disciples, and as a student of the Honghu Plan, she rarely interacts with them on weekdays, so she is not very familiar with them.
The discussion in the classroom gradually rose.
"The selection of officials is about to be held, but how can we poor children compete for the children of aristocratic families?"
"Yes, they have already decided on the good position."
"The so-called official exam is different for everyone. For us, it is a test that determines life and death. For those nobles of aristocrats, it is just a formality."
"It's just that these things are never put on the surface."
Listening to these words, Wen Weilan, Wang Dongdong and Lin Shuying outside the window were all a little uncomfortable.
But, it is impossible to deny.
The so-called "selecting official examination" they are now discussing is the most important assessment of the National Academy of Sciences at present, and it is also the last hurdle before this generation of National Academy students enter the career.
Originally, the regulations of the National Academy were extremely strict. Only by sacrificing one's life to study for a full month could one obtain the qualification to select an official, and then participate in the selection of the government or temple, and officially enter the officialdom.
But the situation this year is different.
The court urgently needed manpower, so a new order was issued to allow all students from academies to take the exam in advance.
For families like Wen Weilan, Wang Dongdong and Lin Shuying, the family has already arranged their positions secretly and can take office as soon as they go abroad. This is an open secret.
But whether the position is in line with their wishes is another matter.
Everything is considered from the perspective of maximizing family interests.
