Jiang Qingwan's mind was not on what the others were talking about. She came here today to think about how to remind her uncle about the Spring Examination.
There is only a little over a month left until the Spring Examination, and my uncle should be making the test questions now.
By now Prince Chen should have bribed the servant boy beside her uncle, so she must remind him.
Jiang Qingwan was in distress, not knowing what to say. She couldn't even finish a complete sentence.
Besides, even if she could say it, she couldn't say it directly.
And there is also the loophole of Ruan Hezhu's time travel and rebirth. I wonder if she will persuade Song Yu to change the original plan.
Saving the Yu family was more difficult than she had expected.
She turned to look at Yu Manman, "Sister, looking for daddy... Daddy..."
She pouted and looked like she was about to cry.
The eldest princess felt very distressed and quickly handed her to Yu Manman, "Take her to your father's study and find your uncle."
"I'm going too."
At his mother's signal, Jiang Qingluo quickly took Jiang Qingwan into his arms.
At this moment in the study, three people were admiring the calligraphy and paintings that Yu Zhongxin had just acquired.
Jiang Weizhen was a rough man who could barely read or write, and he wasn't very interested in these things.
Ning Anbo and Yu Zhongxin were the only two people who discussed this, and I would just add a few words to the discussion.
The arrival of his daughter at this time also relieved his embarrassment.
After handing Jiang Qingwan over to his father, Jiang Qingluo and Yu Manman went to play somewhere else.
It's boring for them to listen to adults' conversation here.
Jiang Qingwan glanced around the study with his rolling eyes.
Yu Zhongxin likes calligraphy and painting very much, and this study has a collection of calligraphy and paintings by many famous artists.
In the far corner, she also saw a familiar name.
Tang Yi.
Tang Yi's calligraphy and paintings are well-known, so it's no big deal for Yu Zhongxin to collect a copy.
But the bad thing is that Yu Zhongxin is the chief examiner this time, and Tang Yi is a candidate taking part in the Spring Examination.
It is also possible that the examiner admires the candidate and wants to take him as his disciple, thus leaking the test questions.
At that time, Tang Yi was considered to have cheated because of Yu Zhongxin's admiration for him, and outsiders believed that he was Yu Zhongxin's disciple.
"Brother, is this painting Tang Yi's work?"
Jiang Weizhen, knowing what she was thinking, walked up to the painting.
"Yeah, you like him too, that's really rare."
Yu Zhongxin laughed heartily. "Although Tang Yi's current paintings are still a little immature, he is still young. In a few years, he will become a master."
His admiration for Tang Yi was fully revealed.
[He could indeed become a master of his generation, but his paintings were only sought after after his death.]
During his lifetime, due to the cheating incident, all his calligraphy and paintings were boycotted, and no matter how good his paintings were, they would no longer be appreciated.
Only after his death did these stains gradually fade away, and his paintings that have been passed down to the world were truly seen by people.
He should have been a talented top scholar, but he became a victim of political struggle.
Until his death, he never understood why he was accused of cheating when he had passed the exam honestly.
"Chu Yuan and him hit it off right away and got along very well."
"Really? These two talented young men are attracted to each other."
Yu Zhongxin laughed heartily and said, "Let Chu Yuan bring him to see me some other day."
"Brother, let's not do that." Jiang Weizhen refused, "He is a candidate this year."
"I know he's a hot candidate for the top pick."
Yu Zhongxin looked at some of the information of this year's candidates. Several of them wrote very well, and Tang Yi was one of the best.
"Brother, others can say this, but you can't."
Jiang Weizhen straightened his face and said, "Don't forget your identity."
Yu Zhongxin shuddered and realized that he had committed a serious crime.
As the chief examiner, he had already determined the top scorer before the Spring Examination even started, which undoubtedly made people suspect that there was something fishy going on.
"I made a slip of the tongue."
He looked at Jiang Weizhen with gratitude.
As the Minister of Rites, he actually knows more about the intricacies of the court than Jiang Weizhen, who has been leading troops in battles for many years.
Just a little reminder and he'll understand.
Ning Anbo naturally understood the meaning of their conversation, "We need to be careful. After all, the Spring Examination is a big deal and we can't afford to make any mistakes."
"Yes, after the New Year, the candidates should all be arriving in the capital."
As the Minister of Rites, no one understood the hardships of these candidates better than him, so he never accepted any students before the Spring Examination.
I also refused to meet those candidates, just to give everyone a fair chance.
Moreover, those selected in the Spring Examination are people who serve the court, so how can any favoritism be allowed?
"How are the questions for this exam from the Ministry of Rites?"
"It's almost done. There's only one left, and it's one I made myself. I'm still hesitating whether to use it or not."
Yu Zhongxin looked embarrassed. The question was really difficult and it was estimated that few people could answer it. But if someone could answer it, he would be a rare talent.
[My uncle's question was indeed a good one, but it was because Tang Yi answered it that he became the innocent victim.]
Jiang Qingwan sighed. "Only Tang Yi and Yang Lin, the guy who bought the test papers, answered that question. Actually, this incident had nothing to do with Tang Yi, but he happened to be close to Yang Lin and was appreciated by his uncle, so he was inexplicably implicated."
[Of course, part of the reason was Tang Yi's arrogance.]
Jiang Weizhen frowned. The problem was not with the question. It was a well-designed trap. Even if the question was changed, the result would not change.
"As for things like the Spring Examination, I'm a simple man and don't understand them. If you think it's good, then use it. No one has more say than you on this matter."
"Yes, my brother is the Minister of Rites, so naturally this matter still needs to be decided by you and the Emperor."
Ning Anbo agreed. He was a person who was protected by his ancestors. He had no ambition in his life. He was not good at either literature or martial arts, and he did not understand these things.
Fortunately, God treated him well and gave him an excellent son.
Even if he lost the title, his son would still be able to be used in the court.
And it's good for him to live a mediocre life like this.
"Okay, then I'll show it to the Emperor and the Crown Prince first."
Yu Zhongxin made up his mind and decided to use this question.
"Knock knock... Master, the Grand Princess is calling you to dinner."
There was a voice from outside.
"Okay, let's go over there."
After going out, Jiang Qingwan's gaze fell on the servant with lowered eyebrows.
[Is this my uncle's servant? ]
"Brother, this servant has been with you for more than ten years."
Jiang Weizhen spoke up and answered her doubts.
"It's really not a short time."
Yu Zhongxin couldn't remember exactly how long it took.
