Chapter 63 She is somewhat similar to Miss Jiang
Bai Qingan sat there in silence for a long time. It was obvious that he was very clear about the pros and cons, and there were only two paths before him.
He either chose to cheat or give up the results of the exam.
"Brother, don't hesitate." Bai Ruian couldn't help but get anxious. "You are forced to do this. The most important thing now is to enter the palace examination and get a good score."
Bai Shian didn't say anything because it was obviously difficult for him to make a decision.
Little Dumpling was also silent. She didn't quite understand how immoral cheating was, but she could feel how conflicted her big brother was, and she didn't want to force him to make a decision.
"Okay," Bai Qing'an finally made a decision, "It's getting late, let's all go back and rest."
"Brother..." Bai Ruian instantly understood what his brother meant. "Brother, please think about it again. If you don't read the questions, your policy test scores will definitely be very low. Then you..."
"Old Five, Big Brother has made his decision." Bai Qing'an said with a resolute expression, "You all should go back."
"But brother..." Bai Ruian obviously still wanted to persuade him.
"Okay, that's it. We have to respect Big Brother's choice," Bai Shi'an patted Old Five's shoulder, "Let's go. Let Big Brother have a good rest."
Bai Ruian looked unwilling, and finally looked at Bai Qing'an again, then sighed and strode away.
"Let's go." Bai Shi'an called Xiaotuanzi again.
Little Tuanzi nodded and turned to say goodbye to Bai Qingan, "Big brother, we'll go back first. You should have a good rest."
"Be good!" Bai Qing'an forced a smile.
He watched the children leave, his face once again filled with frustration and despair.
If what Li Suining saw was true, then what difference would it make whether he took the exam tomorrow or not?
When Bai Shi'an and others left the yard, they heard Bai Ruian complaining indignantly.
"My eldest brother is so stupid. He knows that these people want to harm him and prevent him from taking the palace examination. Why can't he be flexible?" Bai Ruian really couldn't understand.
Bai Shian sighed, "Perhaps Big Brother has suffered too many injustices, so he doesn't want to be the one who treats others unfairly."
Bai Rui'an still couldn't accept it. "But isn't this the way the world is? Where does fairness come from? If you want a fair world, you must have the ability to create fairness. But do we have that now?"
Bai Shian sighed again, obviously speechless.
The next day, Bai Qing'an did not eat breakfast or lunch. Bai Yunfeng and Wei Ranzhu obviously realized that something was wrong.
"Qing'an, don't put too much pressure on yourself," Bai Yunfeng said to his son in a deep voice, "No matter what the outcome is, we did our best, and we have no regrets."
Bai Qingan nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I'm fine."
In the afternoon, the family sent Bai Qing'an to the entrance of the Imperial Examination Hall again. Unexpectedly, this time, they met people from the Prime Minister's Mansion.
They are Lou, Zuo Sixian and Zuo Jiali.
"General Bai, Madam, Brother Bai!" Zuo Sixian led his brother a few steps forward and greeted them with a smile, "Brothers and sisters are here too. I'm sure Brother Bai will achieve good results!"
"That's not necessarily true," Zuo Jiali chuckled from behind. "I'd say Brother Bai's abilities are limited. Since he's tried so many times and nothing works, why not just give up? That would make the entire General's Mansion feel a little more relaxed, wouldn't it?"
"Auspicious ceremony, no disrespect!" Zuo Sixian smiled and looked at Bai Yunfeng, "General Bai, please don't blame me. My brother is just like that. He is straightforward and doesn't speak in moderation. Please forgive me, General and Madam!"
At this time, Bai Yunfeng's face looked very ugly.
"That's fine," Wei Ranzhu said with a smile. "Second Master Zuo is young and has a lot to learn. Why would we bother with a child like him?"
Zuo Jiali snorted, but said nothing more.
"General Bai, Madam, Brother Bai, my brother and I will go in first." Zuo Sixian always maintained courtesy and quickly left with Zuo Jiali.
Not far away, Lou looked at Bai Yunfeng and others with disdain, twisted her waist, got on the carriage and left.
Wei Ranzhu suppressed his smile, "This eldest son Zuo is just like his father. He will be a tough guy in the future."
She looked at Lou's carriage and sighed again, "Miss Jiang... is also pitiful."
"This is her own choice." Bai Yunfeng patted his wife's shoulder comfortingly, then turned to look at Bai Qing'an, "Okay, Qing'an, go in quickly!"
Bai Qing'an nodded and turned to walk towards the Imperial Examination Hall.
On the way back, Li Suining asked curiously, "Mother, who is Miss Jiang? Is she Mr. Jiang's daughter?"
"Yeah." Wei Ranzhu looked at Li Suining at this time, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong?" Bai Yunfeng asked curiously.
Wei Ranzhu said with a smile, "I found that after carefully looking at Sui Ning's words, she does bear some resemblance to Miss Jiang."
"Really?" Bai Yunfeng chuckled a few times. "Back then, the young lady of the Jiang family was considered the most beautiful woman in the imperial city. Does that mean that when Sui Ning grows up, she will definitely be a top-notch beauty too?"
Bai Shian immediately nodded in agreement, "My sister is definitely the most beautiful."
"Hehe..." Little Dumpling grinned happily and asked curiously, "Mom, do you know Miss Jiang?"
Wei Ranzhu nodded, "We grew up together, but after we got married, we didn't have much contact."
Thinking about the past, she was obviously a little sad, and the smile disappeared from her brows.
The little girl immediately behaved well and stopped asking questions, and tried to make Wei Ranzhu happy again.
However, there was no smile on Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian's faces. After all, Bai Qing'an's exam today would definitely not have a good result, so they really couldn't be happy.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the morning of the 13th. Everyone in the general's mansion came together to pick up Bai Qing'an.
Along the way, Bai Shi'an and Bai Ruian held back and didn't dare to ask. When they returned to the general's mansion, they immediately pulled Bai Qing'an aside.
"Brother, how is it? What is your strategy?" Bai Ruian asked impatiently.
Bai Qing'an frowned, then slowly said, "It's related to border defense."
"Damn it!" Bai Ruian stomped his feet in anger upon hearing this. "They really did change the topic. That's too much!"
He looked at Bai Qingan helplessly, "Brother, do you know the questions for other people? You..."
However, what Bai Ruian did not expect was that Bai Qing'an actually nodded.
"Other people's questions are also about how Dajin gets along with other countries, but they are asking about how to understand the policy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, and what choice Dajin should make." Bai Qing'an said calmly.
"Brother, you..." Bai Ruian's face was full of disbelief, "How did you know?"
