117. Chapter 117 What a Good Fortune



Mu Nanjin got up and put on the flying fish uniform of the deputy captain.

The deputy captain's flying fish uniform is dark purple with white flying fish patterns embroidered on it. She looks elegant and heroic in it.

She walked out of the yard, and Xia Yan and the others congratulated her one after another.

Si Yuhuan looked at the Feiyu suit, which symbolized the fifth rank, and felt nothing but envy, envy, and more envy. Her strong desire to be an examiner rose again.

Finally, he couldn't help blurting out: "Girl, I want to study, I want to study in the Imperial College, and I also want to be an official, a female official."

Xia Yan and the others looked at her in surprise.

Si Yuhuan suddenly felt regretful for what she had just said. She asked herself if she had gone too far by making demands on Mu Nanjin again and again.

"Okay." Mu Nanjin agreed readily: "I'll take you to sign up when I'm free in the next two days."

Si Yuhuan was stunned.

I was very surprised that Mu Nanjin actually agreed.

Mu Nanjin said to Xia Yan and the others, "Who among you wants to study? I can help you sign up."

Except for Si Yuhuan, Xia Yan and Lin Zishu, no one else present had ever learned to write. Xia Yan and Lin Zishu were not as knowledgeable as Si Yuhuan. Even if they entered the academy, they would only gain knowledge and could not take the imperial examination like Si Yuhuan. Therefore, they might as well do business honestly and earn more money.

This is a personal wish and Mu Nanjin will not force them.

She still had to be on duty, so she went to the Duwei Mansion after breakfast.

The Jinyiwei guarding outside the door saw her and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, Deputy Captain Mu."

This was the first time they greeted her since she joined the Imperial Guard.

Even though she had raised the small flag and the centurion before, they had never performed the ceremony.

From then on, all the Jinyiwei who passed by her would greet her and show respect.

Mu Nanjin came to the Wenshuyuan where the Qianhu worked. Qianhu Liu and other Qianhu came over with a smile and said, "Congratulations, congratulations to Deputy Qianhu Mu for his promotion."

Captain Zheng said with a smile, "Deputy Captain Mu, now that you have been promoted to the fifth rank, please treat us to a good meal."

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Okay, let's go to Xiaoqinglou for dinner after we get off work."

The corners of the centurions' mouths twitched.

Xiaoqing Tower is full of male prostitutes, and they would be misunderstood if they went there often.

Captain Liu was speechless: "Can't you change places? Even Yixinyuan would be fine."

At least there are girls in it.

Mu Nanjin nodded: "Okay, let's go to Yixinyuan. What do I have to do today?"

Captain Liu first took her to her desk to help her identify her position.

Mu Nanjin was placed in the corner with a large stack of case files on top. "Your task today is to read through these files and see if there are any people who have been wronged. If you find any problems, you will take people to investigate the whole case and redress the injustice if you are sure that the other party has been wronged."

"oh."

Mu Nanjin opened the case file, which was filled with densely packed text.

“…”

[Where is this? What am I doing? ]

[I was not promoted to deputy commander for the purpose of following the governor's mission, why should I sit here and read the case files? ]

[There are so many words in the case file that my eyes are dizzy.]

【Governor, where are you? 】

[Why do I feel like I've been cheated? Is this an illusion? ]

The thousand households in the secretariat tried hard to hold back their laughter.

So what if you were promoted to a thousand households? The governor doesn't go on missions very often, and even if he does, you may not be called upon.

Just focus on reading the paper.

Captain Liu hummed in his heart. Did he think it was so easy to be a captain? Mu Nanjin stared at the case file for a moment, and suddenly he perked up.

[Haha, isn't it just a case file? No big deal.]

[Let me first see who the offender is. Uh, his name is Cheng Zhiyou...]

Mu Nanjin checks the gossip news.

[Oh, this Cheng Zhiyou was wronged. How pitiful! Not only was he wronged, but even his family was implicated.]

[There is no need to investigate this matter. He was definitely wrongly accused.]

Mu Nanjin looked through several case files and found that more than half of the people had died unjustly and their families had been exiled as a result.

About half an hour later, she had finished reading the large stack of case files on the table.

[I actually finished reading all the case files? ]

[How many hours has it taken? Is it time for dinner? ]

Mu Nanjin looked at the sun outside the window, it was not even noon yet.

[Captain Liu just said that my task today is to finish reading these case files, so can I go off duty now? ]

【Wow, this job is so easy. 】

All the thousand households: "..."

They would spend one or two hours studying a case file.

She was so good that she finished reading it all in less than half an hour.

It's really an easy job.

[It seems a bit awkward for me to leave like this. Others will definitely not believe that I finished reading it so quickly.]

Mu Nanjin thought about it, stood up and walked out.

Captain Liu pretended to ask, "Deputy Captain Mu, where are you going? Have you finished reading the case files?"

Mu Nanjin said seriously, "I found something wrong with the case file and I need to investigate. When you're off duty, remember to go to Yixinyuan."

All the thousand households: "..."

There is no need to say the following sentence.

Mu Nanjin left humming a song in his heart.

[I'm so happy. It's worth it so early. ]

The governor who had just arrived at the Duwei Mansion heard her words and walked to the Qianhu Wenshuyuan to ask, "Why did Mu Nanjin leave his post so soon?"

Captain Liu recounted what had just happened with a helpless look on his face.

The governor-general was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "It seems that she is very suitable for reading case files. I will triple her workload in the future."

Captain Liu sighed, "I think if we add too much, she will find out that she has more tasks than us, which will only backfire."

The governor-general thought about it and agreed: "Then add a few more case files. If we can reduce one wrongful case, then it will be one less wrongful case."

"yes."

After leaving the Duwei Mansion, Mu Nanjin went to the Tea Study to find Si Yuhuan, and then took people to the Imperial College to register.

When the Imperial College steward saw Mu Nanjin wearing the fifth-rank Feiyu suit, he immediately recognized her identity and said, "Greetings, Master Mu."

Ever since the end of the military officers' competition, Mu Nanjin has become a household name. Everyone knows that a woman wearing a flying fish suit is Mu Nanjin.

Mu Nanjin said: "I brought my cousin here to register for admission. Is there still a place available in the Imperial College?"

Si Yuhuan was very touched.

Although Mu Nanjin looks cold, she is actually thoughtful and in order to prevent her from being bullied in the academy, she introduces her to others as her cousin.

"Yes, yes, of course."

Even if you don't have it, say you do.

Mu Nanjin is favored by the Queen Mother, so the steward dare not offend her.

He made a gesture of invitation and led the group into the academy, passing by the school hall on the way.

In the school, there were the sounds of young men reading aloud and girls playing the piano. The whole academy was full of vitality. Si Yuhuan had a look of longing on his face.

In the past, she wanted to study with her brothers at home, but her family did not agree. Fortunately, her family members were not old-fashioned and invited a teacher to teach her to read and write.

The Master was knowledgeable and talented, and taught her many things. She was also diligent and studious, and was the smartest student the Master had ever taught. Unfortunately, she was a girl, and no matter how well she learned, it was useless, and she still had to get married in the end.

The steward took them to the secretarial office to find the chief clerk.

The chief clerk was very polite and completed the admission procedures in just a quarter of an hour.

Mu Nanjin said: "Don't worry, no one will take it away."

The chief clerk smiled slightly and said, "Master Mu, Miss Si will need to take a test after she enrolls."

Mu Nanjin asked: "What test?"

"We need to test her academic level before we can determine which class to place her in."

"Test now?"

"If you have time now, you can test it now."

Si Yuhuan nodded: "Let's test it now."

The chief clerk took out several test papers of varying difficulty and asked her to fill in.

Si Yuhuan sat in the corner and began to write seriously.

Mu Nanjin felt bored and wandered around.

【By the way, I’ve never been to school either. 】

The chief priest who was passing by the garden with his teachers stopped when he heard the familiar voice. Seeing Mu Nanjin staring at the students reciting poems and writing couplets, he walked over with a smile and asked, "Master Mu, what brings you to my Imperial College? Could it be that Master Mu also wants to come to my college to study?"

Mu Nanjin shook his head: "I brought my cousin here to register for school."

[I hate reading the most, so I don’t want to come to study. ]

When the chief priest heard her thoughts, he wanted to tease her: "Where is Master Mu? Is Master Mu interested in studying in my academy?"

Mu Nanjin said politely: "I wanted to come, but I was unlucky."

[I don’t need to study hard, nor do I need to take the imperial examination to become a fifth-rank official. What a good life.]

The chief priest was very angry.

Did he really think she cared about coming to his college to study? He was also afraid that she would cause a lot of trouble when she came to his college.

The chief priest didn't want to talk to her anymore: "I have something else to do, so I won't greet you."

"oh."

[Hey, why don't you stay with me and talk for a few more words before leaving? Oh, it's so boring. ]

[Where is the chief priest going with all these people? I have nothing to do anyway, so why not follow them and see for myself. ]

Mu Nanjin followed behind them.

The chief priest did not chase her away, but took the teacher to the newly decorated secretarial room.

"Masters, this will be your office from now on. If you need anything, just tell the steward and he will get it for you."

The teachers all bowed and said, "Thank you for the wine."

"Do you have any more questions?"

One of the teachers came out and asked, "Excuse me, Master, does the academy provide accommodation?"

The chief priest recalled the name of the master in front of him: "Are you Master Lu Feichen Lu?"

"Yes."

"The academy needs to open more classes recently, so we can't vacate any houses for you to live in. We have to ask you to live outside for a while. When the academy has built the houses, you can move in."

"OK."

【Lü Feichen? 】

Mu Nanjin, who was really bored, flipped through Lu Feichen's gossip.

【I’ll go.】

The chief priest, who was about to leave, almost sprained his ankle when he heard her voice.

What does this little girl want to do? [This Lu Feichen is actually the national teacher of the Kingdom of David. ]

The libation: “!!!!”

The national teacher of the Kingdom of David?

The chief priest wanted to look back at Lu Feichen, but was afraid that the other party would become suspicious, so he pretended nothing had happened and left the secretariat. When the teachers could no longer see him, he hurriedly lifted up his robe, rushed into the palace with his old legs at the speed of flight, and told the emperor what Mu Nanjin was thinking.

After listening to this, the emperor frowned.

He had seen the Imperial Master's ability to call the wind and rain. Even if he sent people to capture Lu Feichen, they would definitely not be able to catch him, unless Mu Nanjin and Tian Yuan took action.

Tian Yuan's responsibility is to protect him, and he will not do anything else unnecessary. As for Mu Nanjin...

The emperor got a headache whenever he thought of her and always felt that she was unreliable.

He rubbed his head and said, "Let's wait and see what he wants to do in our Daqian country, and then decide how to deal with him after the national teacher comes back. Treat him like an ordinary teacher, don't show your true colors."

"yes."

The chief academician returned to the Imperial College.

At this time, the chief clerk rushed over and said, "Master Jijiu..."

The chief priest asked quickly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Could it be that the David Kingdom's national teacher could not sit still and took action against their people?

"Master Jijiu, please take a look at some test questions first."

The chief clerk handed the test questions to him.

The chief priest secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a few test questions, why are you so anxious?"

"You'll know after you read the test."

Jijiu picked up the test paper and glanced through it. The first few questions were relatively simple.

He glanced through it quickly, making sure that the questions were taken by the same person and that he could answer all of them, then turned to the last question.

The last test paper was given to talented and knowledgeable scholars. Judging from the beautiful and neat handwriting, it was written by the same person. The other party answered the questions accurately, and there was not even a wrong word. Looking at this test paper makes people feel very comfortable.

Anyone who can write such a perfect answer must be extremely talented and would have no problem taking the imperial examination.

Jijiu's eyes lit up: "Whose answer sheet is this?"

The chief clerk did not keep him in suspense: "You would never guess that this answer sheet was written by a girl."

"Girl?" The chief priest was stunned: "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure that this girl was brought by Lady Mu Nan Jin Mu, who said that this girl is her cousin. I was supervising at the time and didn't see her cheating."

The chief priest asked, "Could it be possible that someone leaked the questions?"

The chief clerk shook his head and said, "This is the test paper you gave yesterday. The teachers haven't even looked at the questions. And I saw that she answered every question correctly, so I decided to let her do an extra test paper on a whim."

The chief priest saw that the words on the title were indeed his handwriting: "Take me to see this girl."

The chief clerk brought the chief priest to his secretarial room.

When the chief priest saw Si Yuhuan, he was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you the owner of the Tea House?"

"Greetings, the chief priest." Si Yuhuan bowed to him.

The chief priest said bluntly: "I want to ask you a few more questions."

"Ji Jiu, please ask a question."

Mu Nanjin came back from outside and saw Si Yuhuan was still taking the exam, so she waited patiently outside the door, listening to them asking and answering questions back and forth. She felt drowsy.

Suddenly there was a bang.

Mu Nanjin came to his senses instantly and walked to the door to take a look.

The chief priest slapped the table excitedly and said, "The girl is very talented. If she studies hard, it will not be a problem for her to take the imperial examination next year."

The chief clerk reminded him: "Jijiu, nowadays, no woman has ever participated in the provincial and metropolitan examinations, so it is impossible for her to participate in the imperial examinations next year."

The chief priest frowned: "Wouldn't it be several years before that?"

Si Yuhuan also felt it was unfair.

[Rules are dead, but people are alive. Let the emperor change the imperial examination system next year.]

[If he doesn't change, I'll change it for him.]

The libation wine: “…”

Thank you Xiaohuoshuang, Zaishuhouer, and Nuanqi_EB for the rewards.
