Chapter 198 no die
After the examination began, the Minister of Personnel took the officials of the Ministry of Personnel on an inspection tour, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Yunting also followed.
Jiang Yueyang and Kong Jijiu sat on stools, invigilating the examination hall in the Gongyuan Square. (This is based on the examination hall in the TV series Joy of Life)
A few simple toilets were temporarily set up on the edge of the square to facilitate the urgent needs of the candidates.
Kong Jijiu couldn't sit still, so he stood up and walked towards the candidates in the square.
He was like a modern invigilator, walking around the examination room and always paying attention to the candidates' small movements.
Seeing this, Jiang Yueyang also wanted to experience what it was like to be an invigilator, so she stood up and walked over.
She walked slowly among the candidates with her hands behind her back, looking at the people in the field with interest.
Occasionally, when she saw students she knew, she would stop and watch them answer questions. Although she didn't understand much, she would still silently comment on their answers.
For example, now, she is standing next to He Jing, the son of the right prime minister, the second son of the He family.
Before the imperial examination, many people expressed dissatisfaction with He Jing's participation in the examination and even united to protest.
Emperor Yuan summoned all civil and military officials to discuss the matter, and more than half of them held opposing views.
When Emperor Yuan asked Jiang Yueyang for her opinion, she said, "When cheating in the imperial examinations occurred, they cried foul.
How can this kind of behavior be fair to someone as special as Mr. He? What a bunch of double-standard dogs. "
Finally, Emperor Yuan suppressed the opposition with one sentence: "You two or three can assist me in my humble work. I will select those who are talented and use them."
He Jing noticed someone beside him and subconsciously looked up. Seeing that it was Jiang Yueyang, he couldn't help but smile at her.
He learned from his father what Jiang Yueyang said in the court that day, and he was very grateful.
Jiang Yueyang smiled back politely, then continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.
As she walked, she saw Kong Jijiu staring intently at a candidate answering a question.
Jiang Yueyang followed his gaze and found that the person he was looking at was Emperor Yuan’s exiled prince—Fang Yu’an.
Seeing Fang Yu'an was a little nervous, she hurried over.
"Master Jijiu, if you stare at me like that, I'll feel nervous and stressed."
Jiang Yueyang reached out and pushed Kong Jijiu forward as he spoke. Kong Jijiu was pushed forward, but he looked back every few steps.
"Master Xiao Jiang, the candidate just now... is very knowledgeable."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang was slightly stunned.
"So you were staring at him because you thought he was learned? I thought you thought he looked familiar."
"Looks familiar?" Kong Jijiu carefully recalled Fang Yu'an's appearance. "Now that you mention it, he seems a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen him before. Master Xiao Jiang, who do you think he resembles?"
"This... hehe..." Jiang Yueyang smiled and evaded the question, "I don't know either. I just said it casually."
Kong Jijiu glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. What a poor acting! If I believed you, there must be something wrong.
Like who?
As they walked, they came to Li Qinghuan and stopped at the same time.
Li Qinghuan was very nervous, and the hand holding the pen was shaking slightly.
Jiang Yueyang narrowed her eyes slightly, "You still want to change the world with this?"
Hearing this, Li Qinghuan tightened his grip on the pen, his fingertips turned white, and his eyes were full of stubbornness.
She wants to change the world!
Afterwards, Li Qinghuan answered the questions without distraction, and every stroke of his pen on the paper revealed a sense of tenacity.
Kong Jijiu nodded with satisfaction and continued walking forward.
Although the imperial examination was conducted in a hurry this time, there were many more unexpected surprises than in previous years.
Jiang Yueyang did not follow Kong Jijiu immediately because her brother was sitting next to Li Qinghuan.
She winked at Jiang Xun, signaling him to do better in the exam before following Kong Jijiu's pace.
After a round of inspection, Jiang Yueyang's short-lived enthusiasm for invigilation completely disappeared, so he returned to his seat and sat there doing nothing.
[Little melon, please watch carefully for me. If anyone dares to cheat, remember to remind me.]
[No problem.] The system agreed immediately, then changed the subject, [Host, it's so boring to just sit there like this, how about we eat some melons?]
[No, we must take this situation seriously!]
The system was unhappy when it heard that I couldn't eat melons. [Then you can be the invigilator yourself.]
You just agreed.
Are you the examiner or am I the examiner?
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
Jiang Yueyang's chest heaved with anger, and he said with a forced smile: "One should never go back on one's word."
【I am not a human being.】
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang couldn't help but pounded the table with his fist, gritting his teeth and said, "What did you say?"
The incompetent yet playful system instantly got scared again, with a flattering smile in its voice, "I said that a person should not go back on his word, and a ruler should not go back on his word even more!
Host, rest assured, I'm here, no one can try to cheat under my nose!
The candidates who heard the inner voice said: ...So cowardly.
Kong Jijiu: Little melon... Can't you just be tough for once? ... Forget it, you'd better not be so tough. The imperial examination is more important.
Jiang Yueyang snorted softly, "Little melon, I have a message for you: no action, no die!"
system:【……】
Everyone:? What do you mean?
***
A breeze blew by, and the setting sun in the distance was about to fall.
The bell rang at the end of the first day's exam, and the candidates stopped writing together, and the officials from the Ministry of Personnel quickly collected the papers.
As the bell rang, Jiang Yueyang wailed in her heart as if the seal had been lifted.
[This is awful! This invigilation job isn't something an ordinary person can do! My weak bones are almost falling apart from sitting.]
Everyone who heard the inner voice: "..."
The system said sarcastically: [It's really hard for you to sit and read a domineering CEO novel all day.]
Jiang Yueyang heard the sarcasm in his words, but she pretended not to understand.
"Of course not. I usually watch it lying on a soft bed with snacks to eat. It's so comfortable. Unlike now, I have to keep a straight face and back while watching, and I don't even have anything to eat."
The system was choked and failed to make a comeback.
Everyone: With such a comparison...it's really hard for you.
After the examination papers were collected, officials from the Ministry of Personnel had food and a blanket delivered to the examinees.
The candidates cannot leave the examination room, so they can only sleep like this tonight.
Jiang Yueyang originally suggested preparing mats and charcoal fire, but her father vetoed it.
Her father said that the budget for the imperial examination this year was overspent by a large margin and he was determined not to allocate funds.
He also said that if his old bones could sleep on the grass, there was no reason why they couldn't sleep on the floor.
Jiang Yueyang debated with the scholars, but was defeated in the end.
All civil and military officials felt that too much money was spent, and that the money could have been saved.
***
In order to prevent cheating, Jiang Yueyang asked the system to scan the items.
After a few seconds, the system said: [Everything is normal.]
Jiang Yueyang was a little surprised to hear the answer that everything was normal.
[Wow~ These officials in the Ministry of Personnel are amazing! Not a single one of them was bribed to cheat.]
The official from the Ministry of Personnel curled his lips and didn't want to die for the time being.
The Minister of Personnel, who had just returned, happened to hear this. They all knew you were the invigilator, so even if they wanted to make that money, they wouldn't dare. Unless... they wanted to die.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Yunting also came back at this time, and they naturally walked to Jiang Yueyang's side.
When Kong Jijiu saw the prince, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and then he knew who Fang Yu'an looked like.
He glanced meaningfully at Jiang Yueyang, who was smiling at Lu Yunting. Could that candidate be...
No way?
