The forgotten memories of Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites came out from the corners of his mind. He smiled and said, "Why else? That old man's appearance can really make a child stop crying."
[You just want to say that the old man is ugly, but you are beating around the bush.]
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites: ...One must be reserved in life!
"Minister, can you arrange for Cui Yuanzhe to be placed right in front of me? So that I can be face to face with him?"
The people from the Ministry of Rites looked at each other, stunned by Shen Zhiyi's request.
The Minister of Rites said: "The seats have been arranged..."
Shen Zhiyi had a pitiful face.
"But it's not impossible to change." The Minister of Rites changed the subject.
Shen Zhiyi must have her reasons for doing this. At worst, she can just bring that Cui Yuanzhe to Shen Zhiyi to answer the questions, regardless of whether he is confused or not.
But this matter needs to be reported to the old emperor.
*
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Shen Zhiyi, who was an invigilator for the first time, got up early without complaint and prepared to go out in high spirits.
Aunt Cheng stopped the person.
"It's cold outside, why don't you take a hand warmer with you when you go out, Shen Lang?"
"No, no."
[I don't have a hand warmer. I have a hot water bottle at home, but it's not as useful as this one.]
Aunt Cheng smiled, turned around and took out a hand warmer for Shen Zhiyi, which blinded Shen Zhiyi's eyes.
"Um?"
"I made this. The ladies in the palace use this in winter. Shen Lang, take it with you. It's small and can be put directly in your sleeve. It's very convenient."
"It's really convenient. Thanks, Aunt Cheng."
After taking the hand warmer, Shen Zhiyi went to the Imperial Examination Hall in the dark.
The outside of the Imperial Examination Hall was already crowded with examinees.
When Shen Zhiyi was wondering how to get in, someone tapped her shoulder.
"Hey, Brother Chen, we meet again. This is really fate."
Shen Zhiyi turned around and saw Su Ziruo’s smiling face.
She looked into the other person's basket, and saw no trace of spices.
Su Ziruo saw through it and said with a smile, "Spice is for women. I am a grown man and I bring spices to the exam. I will definitely be laughed at by my classmates."
Shen Zhiyi rolled his eyes: "The same thing is divided into male and female use, you think the perfume is a menstrual belt."
"What, what is that?"
Shen Zhiyi was worrying about how to squeeze in, so he ignored Su Ziruo.
"Shen, uh, Brother Chen came really early today!"
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites cleverly changed the subject, then pulled Shen Zhiyi out of the crowd.
Neither of them paid any attention to Su Ziruo's desperate shouting from behind.
After entering the Imperial Examination Hall.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you yesterday that we examiners are supposed to sleep in the Imperial Examination Hall one day in advance, but I forgot."
[Damn, I can even forget this! ]
"Didn't you notice something was missing when you slept in there last night?"
"I found it." Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites nodded: "But it would be a shame to wake you up since you have already fallen asleep. It's nothing, it's just a small matter. You don't even know what the question is, so there must be no problem."
[Why do I feel like this old guy is mocking me. ]
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites was startled for a moment: "I will definitely remember you next time, Shen Lang, don't blame me, oh no, I have to call you President Shen today."
【Why is the chief examiner of the imperial examination called the president? 】
Shen Zhiyi laughed awkwardly for a while, and couldn't help but think of the words he said when he was watching unrealistic houses on Douyin and selling the house from zero frames.
【President, welcome home! 】
[Oh, now I am really the CEO, but this CEO is not that CEO. I still don’t have a house.]
Shen Zhiyi sighed to the sky, put his hands behind his back and walked towards the door to the examination room.
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites scratched his head in confusion.
Could it be that Shen Lang wanted a house? The place where she lived now was indeed a bit poor.
He had extra houses, but he didn't dare to give them away, and Shen Zhiyi didn't dare to accept them because of her personality.
With a mess of thoughts in his mind, Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites came to Shen Zhiyi and looked at him standing there like a door god.
Candidates from all over the country began to enter the venue one after another, and they would stay for three days and two nights.
Before entering the examination room, there was a strict body search, which made Shen Zhiyi stunned.
[They have to search him, how did the original person get in? ]
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites: Good question. They also want to know how Shen Zhiyi sneaked in. It is impossible for a woman to disguise herself as a man and enter the examination room. It is also impossible for her to pass the imperial examination and directly become a sixth-rank attendant. But it is impossible for her to be standing next to him alive now.
No one could figure this out, so they just stopped thinking about it.
The first hurdle was just a simple touch to see if there were any cheat sheets hidden in the clothes, and to check what the examinees brought with them. The level of detail shocked Shen Zhiyi.
[Oh my god, they didn't even leave out the candles, they didn't even leave out the food, they checked it really carefully. ]
But soon Shen Zhiyi found that she was shocked too early, and the second hurdle was to take off her clothes.
The candidates were taken to a small room and asked to strip completely.
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites whispered in Shen Zhiyi's ear: "The new rules we just added this time focus on checking the parts that can be stuffed."
[Just say chrysanthemum, Yue, you shouldn't eat such greasy food in the morning, I'm going to vomit. ]
[Why didn't the Minister of Rites add the things himself? ]
"Eh? Wait, stop."
Shen Zhiyi retracted his thoughts and stopped a candidate who was about to be taken to the second hurdle.
Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites looked excited and stepped forward and said, "Chen Lang, what's wrong with this person?"
"I don't think so. We searched through everything and found nothing."
Shen Zhiyi didn’t waste any words, but directly stretched out his hand and touched the other person’s face.
The candidate took a big step back and hugged himself.
"I like girls, not boys!"
A few black lines appeared on Shen Zhiyi's face. He pointed at the other party and said domineeringly: "Catch him."
“Yes.”
The candidate was caught in front of Shen Zhiyi, and Shen Zhiyi began to touch the other person's face again.
This made Chen Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Rites terrified.
On the other side, on a tall building not far away, the old emperor was sitting by the window watching.
“What is Shen Zhiyi doing? Is there something written on the other person’s face?”
The Minister of Rites shook his head: "No."
When it comes to cheating, no matter how stupid you are, you won't write the cheat sheet on your face.
[Hey, I touched it! I touched it! ]
Shen Zhiyi smiled smugly, and under the exclamations of everyone, he directly tore off a piece of his face.
“Aaaaaaah!”
The crowd screamed, but was quickly suppressed.
[Wow, this human skin mask is really well made. ]
Without the human skin mask, the candidates looked like they were naked, covering their faces for fear of seeing people.
Shen Zhiyi waved his hand: “Take him away.”
After successfully catching a cheater, Shen Zhiyi became even more excited.
What a sense of accomplishment!
